Eagle Flag of Epirus
Vol 7 Chapter 51: Unreachable reinforcements
In the afternoon, Alexander, who led the main force of the Latins, arrived in Argos, and what he saw was that the Grand Duke of Athens, Maximilian, lost his army. Although furious, Alexander finally did not punish the Maximilian company responsible for the defeat, but re-commanded the army to camp. This time, the Latin cavalry did not attack and search without authorization, but strictly guarded Alexander's task of guarding the two wings of the Chinese army. And under such strict countermeasures, the Roman defenders in the city had nothing to do, they could only watch the enemy camp and encircle Argos completely.
Before launching the final attack, Alexander sent envoys to the city of Argos to try to persuade the defenders in the city to surrender. Alexander offered generous terms, and the defenders in the city agreed to lay down their weapons, so he guaranteed the safety of everyone’s lives and property. At the same time, every soldier can get a reward of twenty Su silver coins. The result is obvious. Each of the Roman soldiers in Argos hated the Latin invaders. They not only refused the request of the other party, but also killed the envoys who persuaded them to surrender and sent the heads back to show their determination to fight to the death.
This completely angered Alexander and tore off the veil of the last warmth. The Latin army finally revealed its hideous face and launched a general attack on Argos from three directions under the command of Alexander.
Although the forward led by Maximilian did not complete the task to create enough siege equipment, it is possible to deal with Argos without those. Alexander lifted his killer tool out, and the human trebuchet controlled by 36 people was pushed down the city, bringing the entire city wall of Argos into range. The Latins didn’t need to aim at all, but saw the manipulator. Triggered the handle-the heavy boulder flew out at an astonishing speed and directly hit the wall of Argos City. Suddenly, it was as if the sky was dim and the ground was dark, and the gravel was splashing and engulfing huge power, so that the defenders on the wall were killed on the spot. The city was in a mess. Except for the ruins of Tanyu, there were shattered flesh and blood. The disgusting and **** scene greatly affected the morale of the defenders on the tower. At this time, the Latins also moved. They did not wait for the trebuchet to break down the city wall and rushed up with fierceness in an attempt to seize the city gate of Argos.
Naturally, all this did not escape the eyes of the defenders in the city, and Karrodsai immediately ordered his archers to lie in wait for the Latins as they approached the female wall. ——The Latins who attempted to attack the city gates shot them all.
At this time, the city gate under the city opened, and the defenders of Argos attacked again. This time the Latins were already prepared. The infantry of the two armies were fighting each other with spears and swords, and they turned their faces directly against each other.
The Grand Duke of the Principality of Athens, Maximilian, personally supervised the battle and decided to lead the army to attack. He drew his sword and pointed forward and shouted: "Come on, let us completely eliminate the Greek cowards and let them see the real warriors. Jianmang! Pay the price for everything you did before!"
The Roman soldiers fought stubbornly against the oncoming enemies, repelling their rounds of onslaught.
Seeing this scene, Alexander turned into anger. He never expected that he would be unfavorable at the beginning and be stumped by such a small castle. If it was normal, he would never waste so much effort in such a small place, but considering that his position was on the throat leading to Nafplio, he would never give up lightly.
Therefore, under Alexander's order, the Latin army reorganized the offensive and no one who disobeyed the order appeared. This time, Alexander, who sent engineers on a detour, finally succeeded. With the bow and arrow shooting on the city's head, the engineers successfully completed the civil work and pushed the trench tunnel toward Argos. The construction of the shield wall does not cover the engineers and advances slowly.
Finally this time, the distance between the trebuchet and the city wall was close, which also allowed the Latins to attack the city wall more easily and accurately.
Unable to repair the walls while fighting, the defenders in Argos could only prevent the Latins from climbing the walls. Finally, with a loud noise, a huge gap appeared in a wall of Argos. The fragile and fragile wall that has been torn down countless times is finally unable to sustain it. And then two huge stones were shot by the Latin trebuchet and hit the last half of the city wall severely-finally a city wall collapsed under the fierce attack.
Seeing this scene, Alexander, who finally waited for this moment, raised his hand and gave an order. The Latin army, who had been waiting for a long time, issued a beast-like horn and rushed madly~www.wuxiaspot.com~let Feel the horror you bring, the Greeks, kill them and throw them into hell! "
An army of tens of thousands of people flocked to the city of Argos like a tide, and in the city of Argos, there were only more than 300 soldiers left in the hands of Carrodes, and they retreated. After a fierce battle, most of the refugees Retired to the inner city in an orderly manner under the arrangement of Carrod Race.
On the other side, Carrodsay himself led his subordinates to choose to fight against the Latins on the wall, which made Alexander very annoyed. Obviously the opponent's city wall hasn't violated and resisted and is still so fierce!
The night is getting dark, and if you continue to attack the city, not only will you not get the results and the support of the soldiers, but will be insidiously conspired by malicious people. So helpless Alexander chose to abandon the attack and prepare to fight again the next day.
At night, when the many Latins withdrew from the battlefield, and the Argos defenders, who were already at the end of the crossbow, finally had a chance to breathe. Carrodsai ordered the soldiers to clean their bodies and at the same time clean up the battlefield, recover some of their weapons, and bring back the bodies of their own people for burial. After patrolling the miserable look of the city, Carrods finally understood how much pressure he was facing. On the first day alone, his men lost nearly half, and the attack from the Latins is bound to be fiercer than it is now. How long he can support himself, even Carrods himself is not sure.
When will the reinforcements come! If this continues, the whole city will be the place of death. Seeing that there are fewer and fewer subordinates, the once lively soldiers are now lying on the sickbed and useless. Carrodesi, who is struggling for defense, can only hope that the reinforcements of Mystras can save the whole city from fire and water. But what he didn't know was that at this moment, everything that happened here was in the eyes of Justinian, who was not far away watching what happened here.
