Karacha was still wielding a hammer in his right hand, and in his left hand, he threw the scimitar at his waist to Muhammad, who was slowly walking out of the king's tent.

Although Władysław's horse was a heavily armored horse, Karacha easily smashed his horse's leg into two pieces with a chain hammer.

"A few months ago, the crown prince of the Roman Empire killed my father...... The great sultan of the Ottomans ......"

Several Janissaries swarmed up and used their axes and spears to hold Władysław, who had fallen from his horse.

"You crusaders, since you are here to rescue the Eastern Roman Empire...... So you ...... As a Catholic king, I should be qualified to be my sacrifice to my father. ”

Muhammad paid no heed to Władysław's shouting, nor did he care about the knights of the Guards who were still trying to rush to their king's rescue not far away.

"Your God may think that your heroic sacrifice is worthy of reward, but I will thank you for making it possible for us to win!"

"Muhammad, you will definitely ......"

Władysław's scolding stopped at this moment. The bloodied head rolled to the side.

"Karacha, notify the ambush and launch a counterattack."

"Yes, Sultan."

When Hunyadi saw hundreds of cavalry in the distance pouring into the Ottoman army and gradually losing his breath, his mind paused for a moment. This was followed by frantic cheers from the Ottoman mouth.

The king is dead, disarmed and surrendered.

These eight words, like the whispers of the demon god, destroyed the will of all crusaders.

With the death of the king, Hunyadi had no time to think about what this news meant for Poland, for Hunyadi, and even for the entire Western world. Behind them, from the darkness, more Ottoman cavalry rushed out.

No wonder the resistance of the Ottomans was so fragile just now......

Perhaps they were trying to provoke the king with victory at the front......

"General Hunyadi! Retreat! We don't have a chance anymore! Zpishiko shouted.

Ottoman infantry and cavalry were constantly pouring down from the heights of Franca, and the two flanks of the Crusaders were close to collapse. As a small number of papal knights in reserve, it is completely impossible to recover the current disadvantage.

"Victory is clearly at hand......

"General Hunyadi!"

"Withdraw...... There is no chance of winning. ”

The situation on the battlefield, as Hunyadi had said, had reversed in an instant. Władysław, as the commander of the king's tent, dared to lead only a small number of lightly armed infantry to attack the phalanx of the Ottoman Praetorian Guard.

This may be a stupid failure that will go down in history......

The Ottoman encirclement was not fully formed, but because the left flank had been completely blocked by the Ottoman cavalry, the Crusader knights, who fled in disarray, were forced to retreat into the city of Varna.

The city of Varna was not so strong, relying on the Crusader knights, it was very difficult to hold on. Moreover, the Crusaders were alone, and it was impossible to get support from anyone in a short period of time.

Hunyadi didn't think too much about it, now the port of Varna is mostly blocked by the Ottoman fleet, however, they can only retreat to the city of Varna, and other evacuation routes are blocked by the Ottomans, perhaps, their own lives will also come to an end in Varna.

"General Zpisiko, take a part of the men and retreat first, and defend the line on the walls of Varna!"

At this time, Zpisiko did not have any time to hesitate or say "let's go together" to sensationalize, and every minute of hesitation would bring more sacrifices.

Some of the knights immediately followed Zpisiko towards the city of Varna.

"Warriors of God, we must not retreat, take up your weapons and rebuild the defense!"

In a situation where morale is close to collapse, this kind of command by shouting has little effect. The Crusaders were completely unable to build an effective defensive line, while the Ottomans could continue to pursue the retreating knights.

"Hold it off for me!"

Hunyadi defeated the two Ottoman knights around him with difficulty, but soon, dozens more Ottoman cavalry charged at him. The rate of attrition of the Crusaders was simply uncontrollable, and the frontal battlefield had turned into a slaughterhouse.

The negative impact of the king's death on morale was unimaginable, and Hunyadi was now unable to gather even the most basic troops. Moreover, the Ottoman encirclement was almost impassable, and unless it withdrew to Varna, there was no chance to break through at night.

"Withdraw!"

Hunyadi saw that there was no way for the Salvation Front to be able to evacuate.

"Chase!"

……

"Lord Admiral, there is an Ottoman ship!"

"What about the specifics?"

"It shouldn't be the main fleet! There are only a handful of galleys, and it seems that there is also a transport ship! ”

Admiral Francisco nodded, and then asked tentatively, "Your Highness, do you really want to fire?" Between us and the Ottomans, there was an armistice. ”

"Remember what I said, close to the Ottoman battleship. We don't fire the first shot, but if the Ottomans fire first, we will make the most powerful counterattack as fast as possible! Our first goal was to dock at the port of Varna. Don't save ammunition...... It is better that we come to see the victories of the Crusaders, but if something happens, we will protect them as much as we can and return to Constantinople. ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Francisco responded: "All ships! Sidegun reloading! Main gun reloading! With Ebius-Radiance as the axis, the horizontal formation, control the sea area through the Ottoman fleet at full speed! ”

The huge mainsail of the Ebius Radiance was propped up, and with the tailwind, it brought great power to the entire battleship.

The lateral formation, on the other hand, was quite aggressive, and the actual purpose was to put pressure on the Ottoman fleet and force the Ottomans to fire first.

Several of the Ottoman warships apparently spotted the Phoenix fleet, and the huge Ebius Radiance seemed to them to be a giant beast lunging towards them.

Sure enough, the Ottoman fleet admiral immediately turned the ship around and aimed it at the imperial fleet with a black barrel.

This was the warship that Muhammad prepared to deal with a possible situation, and in addition to some sailors, the transports carried many Ottoman army units.

At present, this fleet could have cooperated with the main Ottoman force to complete the encirclement and suppression of the knights in the city.

Unfortunately, the Ottomans never imagined that John would actually anticipate the defeat of the Crusaders and arrange a fleet to Varna.

"General Giovanni, are you seasick?"

"If a Genoese tells you he's seasick, he's lying."

Giovanni smiled.
