Eagle Flag of Epirus

In 1207, after being ravaged by Latins for several years, Moriah finally ushered in liberation.

This is a year destined to be remembered by the empire. Justinian, who succeeded Anastasius Komunin as Duke Moria, broke the Latin coalition outside the city of Argos and completely annihilated the main force of the Latins. The whole Moria finally got rid of the Latin aggression and returned to the embrace of the Roman mother. The history books of later generations have different opinions on this battle. Some people say that Justinian took the lead and personally led the cavalry to break the Latin front. Others claimed that they saw a Latin army suddenly withdraw from the battlefield when the battle was stuck. The army was defeated like a mountain. And what is there in all of this that people didn't know, and eventually it was gradually forgotten as the years went by. People only know that the terrible defeat of the Latins outside the city of Argos heralded the complete end of the era of the Latins in the Peloponnesian rule, and then Justinian's control of the entire Moriah became the battle between the Romans and the Latins. The turning point brought dawn to the ZTE of the empire.

During the military service, the Latin army left thousands of corpses outside the city of Argos, and more than 10,000 captured and surrendered. Most of the main forces of the Latin coalition were wiped out, including many from the Principality of Athens and Achaia. The noble knight died in battle, and the Latins were completely injured and there was no possibility of a comeback. When the trophies were collected, when the piles of weapons and armors were piled together into a hill, everyone couldn't believe their eyes, they could achieve such a huge result! When the Roman heavy cavalry smashed the Latin army from the flanks, the rebels, who had no will to resist, fled in all directions, but they were already in a desperate situation of flanking back and forth, and more people died in the chaos. Trample, because of this, the Roman soldiers only felt that it was too unreal when they saw this scene.

At this time, in the city of Argos, the surviving defenders finally came out of the city to join forces with the main force outside. They were so excited, especially Carrodsay, when he was the first to rush out, he hugged his son and kissed his forehead vigorously. Both father and son cried with joy that both sides were able to escape from the dead. There were only less than half of the more than 500 soldiers who guarded the city at this time. With such tragic casualties, even though they had won, they still couldn't help feeling a little sad. Fortunately, the sacrifices of those who died weren't in vain. To watch the Latins fall with his own eyes, Carrodsay felt that he would die without regret.

"Where is your Royal Highness Justinian?" Carrodsey asked when he eased his excitement and looked at his son. He looked around and found that there were soldiers sweeping the battlefield and generals and nobles commanding and dispatching everywhere, but he did not see their Grand Duke.

Godric looked at his father blankly, shook his head, and said, "I don't know. We haven't seen him again after Master Justinian commanded the cavalry to rush into the enemy line just after the war."

"What are you talking about?" Carrodesi changed color after hearing his son's answer. Although they have already won, if there is anything wrong with Justinian, the lord of Moriah, it will undoubtedly be to them. critical hit. However, it’s useless to worry about Carrodes now, because although the battle has subsided, there are countless corpses on the messy battlefield. Where can they find the missing Justinian? .

...

On the other side, Neusky was also anxious about Justinian's disappearance. Despite the great victory, there are still thousands of Latin remnants fleeing the battlefield. Some people claimed that he saw Justinian leading the cavalry chasing in the direction of the Latins' defeat. This is undoubtedly the last news that Neusky wanted to hear.

Even if the main force of the enemy is annihilated, the remnants of the Latins still cannot be careless, after all, do not chase the poor. But Neuski Wan never thought that Justinian, who shouldn't have known this point, led a small number of cavalry to pursue the past. Worried about the safety of Justinian, Nevsky immediately ordered Focas to lead an army along the direction of the Latin fleeing to follow Justinian to ensure his safety.

"I'll leave it to you." Looking at Focas, Neusky said. It is not unreasonable that this young nobleman was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Justinian. When Leos Grace suddenly set off a rebellion, it was he who lurked calmly among the rebels and finally gave Leos Grace a fatal blow. , So that Moria was finally saved from being overwhelmed. That's why Neusky, who couldn't get out of his body, gave him such an important task.

And Phocas Pappadoros also nodded, "Don't worry, I will protect the safety of Lord Justinian, but I think that since His Highness did this, it must be his intention. Your Excellency Neusky , You are not too worried."

"I hope so!" Niewuski sighed. This is not the first time. It is clear that Justinian is already a nobleman, but Justinian is still taking arrows and charging into the battle. Where is the prince of the empire. Look like. So that every time Neusky cooperates with Justinian, he has to be afraid of any accident, and this time he also vaguely guessed that Justinian should still have a back hand, but he must eliminate all potential dangers. Peace of mind. Therefore, Neusky still chose to let Phokas lead the troops to meet him.

...

...

...

At the same time, Justinian did lead his cavalry to chase the Latin army that fled in a hurry. In the melee, the imperial team that rushed into the Latin Chinese army camp did a perfect beheading operation, more than half. The Latin aristocrats died in the rebellion, but only Alexander, the head of the Latin coalition army, broke out under the protection of the Guards.

Although Alexander lost most of his army, he was still unwilling to fail like this and still tried to make a comeback. But Justinian won't give him this opportunity anymore. The Latin army fleeing all the way is now being bitten by the cavalry led by Justinian.

"These **** Greeks!"

Looking at the chaser behind him, Alexander gritted his teeth. At this time, he also realized that the real goal of the Greeks behind him was actually himself. If you leave it alone, the other party will never die.

"Fight with them!" Alexander made up his mind and ordered the army to stop and turn and prepare to fight.

At this time, there are still more than two thousand soldiers loyal to him beside him. This is undoubtedly Alexander's last possession. But now, this man had no choice, so under his name, the Latin soldiers lined up and re-formed into a dense formation, and the thick smoke from the horses hoof in the distance covered the sky, apparently Greek cavalry. Approaching them here.

All the Latin soldiers became nervous for a while, and the battle just now left everyone with lingering fears, and even said that they were unsettled. Nervously, they stared at the Greek cavalry in the distance getting closer and closer.

Seeing that the Latins stopped, the heavy cavalry led by Justinian also stopped chasing and confronted the Latin army.

Although the victorious division took advantage of the victory and pursued it, Justinian did not dare to care about the so-called trapped beasts, especially now that the cavalry under his command had gone through two **** battles and their physical strength was overwhelming.

At this time, in the Latin army, a little nobleman came to the front of the Roman army holding high the white flag of freedom from war, trying to seek negotiation.

"His Royal Highness Justinian, on behalf of Your Majesty Alexander, I hope to negotiate with you." The trembling nobleman said, but no one responded.

After a long time, I saw Justinian slowly walk out of the army, "Negotiating? Why should I negotiate? I have given you a chance in the last negotiation, old man." Facing the Latins, they asked for peace. , Justinian said coldly without empathy.

And the Latin nobleman said with a serious face: "His Majesty Alexander has given up. He is willing to ask you for peace and tribute. Now that the two sides continue to fight, I believe it will not be good for both of us. Although we have less than two thousand people, we It is the essence of the Crusaders, and you and your army are indeed brave, but how long can they last?"

The young nobleman said jokingly, with a touch of both soft and hard, he believed that after weighing the pros and cons, Justinian would definitely choose to give in.

However, what he did not expect at all was that Justinian did not take the threat of the opponent in his eyes at all, and said coldly: "So what, if you have confidence, you can give it a try and see you. Can you be qualified to negotiate with me!" Courage surged in the blue eyes, Justinian drew out the long sword in his hand and said to the empire warriors behind him.

"Prepare to charge, use God's spear to smash the heresy of the Latins! Let them pay the price and pay for it!" Justinian roared, and the cavalry behind him all followed the way of praying scriptures. Pray for the protection of God to make the battle go smoothly. War is about to start, and the air seems to freeze at this moment. Tensed people understand that a fierce battle is inevitable.

...

Looking at the Roman cavalry, who was covered with blood and had broken clothes and armor, pulled away, and suddenly the Latin soldiers couldn't help but become anxious. They do have an advantage in numbers, but they are facing an elite and powerful cavalry force, which is undoubtedly a great threat to them. But now, the Latins have no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the battlefield to prepare for a desperate battle with the Greeks.

"Offensive!" In Justinian's command, the horn of the Roman army sounded.

I saw that the cavalry formed a special wedge-shaped formation of cavalry, as if a spear directly pierced the Latin army array at the time, and this formation was most suitable for cavalry assault operations. Although not as powerful as a wall charge, it is the last mobile formation. Even in the face of the long spears of the Latins, the heavy cavalry continued to advance forward without any intention of stopping. The violent charge caused the Latins to have the idea of ​​retreating before they even fought.

"Kill" Justinian rushed to the forefront of the wedge-shaped formation, acting as a spearhead, and behind him the imperial cavalry continued to close together, following Justinian's blade, facing the Latin army camp. The mid-nucleus part rushed.

The elite soldiers under Alexander had no choice but to face this almost impeccable charge, because the formation of the Roman cavalry only attacked a little, and the other Latin nobles with mediocre response were stabbed before they had time to understand what was going on. Falling apart.

I saw three cavalry units. Under the call of waving the red black fox battle flag, the brave armored warriors wielded the mace and quickly smashed the first defense of the Latins. The vanguard cavalry quickly broke into Latin. Where the commander’s original handsome banner was, and the perimeter defense he was doing was torn to pieces. Amidst the smoke and dust, Justinian’s soldiers shouted fierce battles, almost clashed with the guards of the Latin kings, which directly led to The civil war broke out.

"All the soldiers will attack with me, press on, use your attack to suppress your fatigue and slack! Don't give the enemy a chance to breathe." As the attack began, Justinian raised his spear and encouraged loudly. The soldiers launched an attack on the defeated Latin remnants. He only listened to his encouragement: "I know some of you are tired of war. But you have to understand that the horses are also very tired, but in the end these horses still choose to obey their masters and give everything."

"This group of cursed Greeks ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ watched his army like a fragile egg being broken by the Greeks. Alexander became ashamed. While he ordered his army to intercept the cavalry at all costs, he sent it again. The people went to conscript other Latin soldiers who had been dispersed and assembled to prepare for another counterattack. Even if the defeat of Moria failed this time, if Justinian could be killed, it would be the greatest achievement for Alexander.

More and more Latin soldiers rushed forward to stop Justinian and his cavalry. This was also the resistance and pressure that Justinian felt was multiplied. They are worthy of the king's soldiers. They all participated in the Crusades. I saw that since Justinian, all the other Byzantine heavy cavalry robes were completely stained with blood, and the spears in their hands were bent because they had torn too many enemies. On the miserable battlefield, The two sides put in almost all their strength but still failed to tell the victory or defeat for a time. But at this moment, an army suddenly appeared behind Alexander, and as it appeared at the pace of its military appearance, Alexander was subconsciously taken aback.

Because the banner hung in this army is very familiar to everyone, that is the Achaia battle flag, and it is not someone else who leads them, even Sai Ma, who suddenly disappeared on the battlefield before, has not invested a lot. The resources are also scarce, and why they are here at this time, everyone's heart is tense for a while.
