"Hand the attack!" When encountering this sudden attack, the Venetians were obviously caught off guard. Before the two sides began the confrontation, the two most elite heavy sailing warships under their command were inexplicably bombed into fragmented wreckage. This not only greatly weakened the power of the Venetian Navy, but also damaged their morale. The Venetians, who were extremely afraid of this, only dared to use long-range weapons such as bows and arrows to fight back and set a distance from the opponent in front of them, for fear that the scene that had happened before would reappear on them.

However, this distance was greatly weakened by the Venetians' advantage in naval battles, because Justinian was not only good at archery but also Italian mercenaries who were also equipped with new crossbows on the ship.

For a moment, arrows were like rain of locusts, and the sailors on both sides had to hide behind the shield to avoid the dangerous arrows, but some people were still killed by the ravine if they were not careful. After all, it was very difficult to avoid bows and arrows on the narrow deck, but in order to avoid the enemy taking the opportunity to catch the board, no one dared to take a step back.

"Are you okay, Lord Justinian!" The wave of shooting just now almost affected Justinian's warship. A bow and arrow flew past Justinian's neck, making everyone sweat.

Justinian, who was still scared, touched his blood-stained neck but did not hide in a safe place. He said lightly: "Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Looking at the sea that was already in war, he had never been as calm as he is now. Although he had had a confrontation with Croatian pirates before, he was incomparable to the present. And Justinian lacked a lot, one of which was that he would inevitably have a naval battle with the Venetians in the future.

Although the sea has been the battlefield for mankind for thousands of years, before the Arctic Age, the mode of naval warfare was still monotonous and lacking in change. It was nothing more than three types of bow and arrow shooting, warship collision and platoon battle. The Venetians were indeed powerful, but this time they used a limited number of naval forces. With the assistance of Justinian, with the help of the Pizza people, they fought with the Venetian navy for a time.

This completely shocked everyone on the shore, especially Prince Theodor who had just come out to see this scene. He never expected that the arrogant Venetian Navy would suffer such a severe blow.

"This...what is going on?!" Looking at the scene in front of you, Prince Theodor also showed an incredible expression. Although he had a glimmer of hope before, he never expected that Justinian and his reinforcements would appear on the battlefield in this way. He originally thought it was a way to die, but the boy named Justinian really reversed the situation in front of him.

This was much beyond his imagination, but the more important thing was that the Venetian army, which should have been invincible at sea, showed a trace of decline in the face of the sudden attack of the navy led by Justinian, and it was difficult to resist.

This scene fell into the eyes of the Roman soldiers on the hills of the Acropolis, and cheers of joy suddenly burst out. Their military morale, who had been ordered to give up the pursuit, suddenly rose and they stood up to ask for a fight. After all, they were already full of anger at this moment and thought about how to revenge the enemy in front of them.

"Your Highness, it's time to issue an order!" Murad looked at Theodor Ducas on the side and asked. Now with the arrival of a large number of reinforcements led by Justinian, the situation has also changed tremendously. At this time, it is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take the initiative. The Latin coalition has been in chaos, and it may not be impossible to turn the situation around. Even if it is not good, you can take the opportunity to retreat calmly from the sea.

Prince Theodor no longer hesitated at this moment. Since the reinforcements led by Justinian have really arrived, there is no need to preserve their strength carefully.

I saw the man pull out the sword from his waist and lift it up over his head, "Warriors of the Empire, take up your weapons and punish the invaders who are raging in our territory. I will command you as the Prince of the Empire - to attack with all your strength!"

As soon as Theodor finished speaking, a thunderous cheer suddenly came to mind and burst out. The Roman soldiers who had been waiting for a long time were already ready to beat their hands.

The heavy infantry that came out with a majestic formation was the vanguard of the Roman army. They were the elites trained by Theodor Ducas in Agrignon. They were often composed of strong Norman mercenaries, known for their bravery and fearlessness. Theodor also equipped them with excellent armor and equipment, and the salary was very generous after each battle. The excellent shields and iron axes were specially formed to break the formation. When these heavy infantry appeared in front of the Latin coalition, the soldiers of the Achaean vassal state and the soldiers of the Principal of Athens, who had been unstable due to the disappearance of the rear military flag, were also frightened. As soon as they came into contact, the formation collapsed in an instant.

The battle axe not only tear apart the formation but also let the flesh and blood fly. This is difficult for even the army made of steel for a while. More importantly, due to the location of the hills of the Acropolis, the Roman army that took the initiative to attack at this moment was completely condescending, and was unstoppable with a high-level view.

On the contrary, the Latin coalition forces, which had previously held the initiative in the war, ignored the battlefield. At this moment, the plains they retreated to were a natural place for infantry to play melee, especially the Greeks who now occupied the charge above had an advantage. In addition, their rear was insecure and the morale of the army was unstable, and the balance of the war finally reversed.

...

...

...

The huge crisis also made Baron Venier and others who were originally immersed in the joy of victory. The cross flag was finally re-established in the sound of killing and smoke. However, due to the scene just now, morale was inevitably severely damaged. The Turkic cavalry, who had just been repelled by them, quickly turned around and rushed up the hillside, leaving the close-range battle with the Latin coalition. They took advantage of their speed and quickly got rid of the pursuit of the Latin cavalry. The knights of the Achaean and the Duchy of Athens were also worried that they would be ambushed and dared not pursue it for a while. They immediately turned around and used their special compound bow to pick up the bow and arrows. The Turkic cavalry shot waves of arrows that weakened morale and life at the Latin coalition soldiers who were rushing down the hillside, which made the Latin army even more angry.
