Chapter 60 Bloody Battle

"Pick up the weapons in your hands, are you willing to become the weak and incompetent Greeks in the eyes of the Latins? Now you are not fighting for the bloody king or the bullshit emperor here. This is your war, ravaged by the Latins.

The land belongs to you, not me, a Turk

You are talking behind my back that I am a heretic, so what do you, the elect who claim to be blessed by God, have more than me? Prove it to me with your actions!" Murad said in an almost bitter tone.

After saying these words, he boarded the camp without looking back to meet the Latins who were coming to kill him.

These words greatly humiliated the Roman soldiers behind Murad. Then a soldier joined behind him without wearing a helmet, and then several soldiers followed suit without saying a word. The crowd became more and more popular.

Not even when fighting side by side with the Turks

Any hesitation. When they boarded the camp and formed an array, the number of troops following Murad ready to attack doubled. This smart Turkic man used words to trap them. I go to the battlefield, and you have to follow, otherwise

He just considers himself inferior to a Turkic pagan.

Murad, who was standing on a high place, did not avoid the arrows and fired at the archers behind him, roaring loudly: "The enemy's forward does not have heavy armor units, so shoot with confidence and boldness! Defeat their forward and make them lose all their energy."

!At this time, there is no need to be stingy with your bows and arrows, just pour them all into your enemies!"

At the forefront was the mercenary group hired by the Principality of Athens from Iberia. Although they were brave and good at fighting, their lack of armor was their biggest weakness. Seeing this, Murad immediately issued an unquestionable order. And the archers

They didn't hesitate at this time, they drew the short bows in their hands and fired a deadly rain of arrows.

After saying that, only a few arrows were seen, leaving the bowstring quickly, and a violent rain started quickly. Many Latin people were caught off guard and were shot to the ground. Some people covered the wounds on their foreheads and necks and squatted down in pain, and some lay down.

They lowered their bodies and hid behind the siege equipment. They never imagined that the threats they had just projected from local corpses had no effect at all. Instead, they angered the opponent and ushered in a more violent counterattack.

However, at this moment, a cruel war has undoubtedly begun. Regardless of whether the previous intentions of both parties were achieved, they now have no way out.

For a time, the attack prepared by the Latins was interrupted by the stubborn resistance of the Byzantine army. However, Murad's sudden appearance to command the army aroused the hostility of many people.

Even though it was at the last moment, Murad's unauthorized mobilization of troops still aroused the hatred of many people. The Roman legion generals watching this scene felt as if they were insulted, because in their eyes, the humble pagan Turks had no relationship with them at all.

Their qualifications are equal

Ge. But for some reason, Prince Theodor seems to have changed a lot in his attitude towards these Turks since Justinian of Ilovan Castle came. He even saw Murad dispatching troops without authorization at this moment.

He actually said nothing and accepted all of this by default.

But at this moment, Theodor Doukas lamented in his heart that he had no one in his hands, so that the only one who was really useful and capable of taking charge was this Turkic man.

The war was still going on and was heading towards a stalemate. It did not slow down because of the first round of resistance. The Latins, braving the rain of arrows, quickly pressed towards the Byzantine camp with ladders and siege engines.

. And the Roman army, which had regained its morale, was not ambiguous. Anyway, the Acropolis lacked everything but stones and rolling logs. They used these things to smash the Latin coalition forces hard, and no one flinched.

Looking at all this, Baron Vernier, Marquis Gottfried and Duke Otto, who were commanding the attack, could not help but frown slightly. What happened was completely beyond their expectations. According to the original plan, morale had already been reduced.

When the Greek army, which was on the verge of collapse, saw the corpses of its compatriots, it should be like a camel that was crushed by the last straw, and no longer had the courage to resist. But what greeted them was the opponent's tenacious defense.

"how so?"

"I don't know either, Mr. Venier, these Greeks were clearly vulnerable before, but now they seem to have been beaten to death."

"Perhaps the fall of Constantinople has really awakened this former behemoth. After all, they are indeed the real Romans, the people who once ruled from sea to sea!"

"So what, for them, their past glory has long ended, and what they are doing now is just a desperate struggle." Sean Venier said coldly, winking, and behind him were already

The soldiers who were ready blew the horns.

I saw that on the southern coast of the Acropolis hills, the Venetian fleet sailing from the port of Piraeus finally arrived here and entered the battlefield. As Baron Vernier's trump card, they were equipped with new trebuchets on board.

Not only does it have a longer range, it is also more powerful.

At the same time, the Roman army stationed in the camp also noticed this threat, but the Venetian warships were already using trebuchets to throw asphalt fire barrels on the shore. Everyone who saw this scene had to retreat temporarily to find a hiding place.

The ground was used as cover. At this time, the Byzantine defense was completely interrupted, and there was no further

The Latin coalition forces that encountered the blockage now completely let go of their hands and feet. They pushed forward vigorously and put the ladders on the wooden city wall. Then a large number of Latin people rushed up - there is no doubt that it is only a matter of time before the city wall collapses if this continues.

!The helpless Roman soldiers could only attack with weapons again.

Murad led the soldiers to reorganize, "wedge formation," he instructed. As soon as he finished speaking, the commando team with a tacit understanding formed the spearhead, with him as the spearhead. Now they have no way to retreat, regardless of Justin

It was too late now to see whether the reinforcements from Nigeria could arrive, but precisely because of this, they had no way to retreat, and it was better to make a desperate move than to wait to die.

Looking at all this with a sneer on his face, Venier also smiled. Sure enough, these Greeks had finally reached the end of their strength and were just trapped beasts. But just when everyone thought that everything would be completely over, the Latins suddenly
Chapter completed!
