Francisco...... How much longer? ”

"About three hours. But we cannot rule out the sighting of the Ottoman fleet on the surface of the sea. Varna is a big fight...... It is equally possible that the Ottomans would have resorted to the navy to ensure the security of their maritime flanks. ”

Giovanni, who was also standing on the deck, preferred that all this was just John's speculation.

In case the crusade is defeated......

This crusader army was a collection of the main armies of some European countries. If this crusade were to end in a rout, not only would it bring great panic to the Catholic world, but Hungary, as the shield of God, would not be able to gather strength to resist the Ottoman invasion for several years.

This is an expedition that cannot afford to fail.

With the land route likely to have been blocked by the Ottomans, John decided to lead the Phoenix Legion to indirectly support the Crusader retreat. In order not to break the armistice, the Phoenix Legion cannot directly intervene in the trend of the war, but if the Crusaders show signs of defeat, then the Phoenix Legion must immediately come to the rescue.

……

Dominic was brave and brave, but the Ottoman encirclement had gradually formed, as a general, he could not let an elite knight be buried like this, and Cesarini had already led the remaining knights to start supporting, as long as the encirclement was opened and retreated to the high ground, they could accumulate strength and launch a counterattack.

At this moment, the Crusaders' battle losses on the right flank were close to one to one, but for the outnumbered Crusaders, the initial attack could already be considered a failure.

Although Thessalini put down the mustard and quickly sent reinforcements to Dominic, the number of knights deployed by the Crusaders on the right flank was limited after all, and the Ottomans' enthusiasm for war was particularly high at the moment, and Thessalini's knights paid an extremely heavy price to let Dominic break out of the siege.

However, the retreat was not as easy as they thought. For Dominica had already pursued to the hinterland of the Ottoman front, a long distance from the high ground where the Crusaders had laid out their defensive lines. Moreover, the Crusaders' heavily armored horses had limited physical strength, were slow, and had already gone through a round of charges, and were still dwindling in number under the siege and pursuit of the Ottomans.

There was still some distance from the Franga Heights, but when Dominic inadvertently turned back, he found that the number of Ottomans chasing behind him was suddenly much smaller.

He slowed down his horse, flipped over the two Ottomans beside him, and observed for a moment, and found that the slaves behind the Ottoman cavalry had begun to plunder the dead Crusader knights.

As the name suggests, in the Ottoman army, this group of people was the lowest status, and even the military salary was not enough to cover the daily expenses of the family. Picking up loot on the battlefield, this is not the first time.

Normally, the Ottoman generals would have allowed this situation to happen, but this was a decisive battle of life and death, and the Ottomans actually used slave soldiers as the rear guard of the main army.

In the distance, the reinforcements led by Hunyadi had arrived, and Dominica instantly smelled the smell of a counterattack.

"Knights! The Ottomans have fallen into our trap! Surround them! ”

Snare? What kind of trap it was, Dominic didn't know in his heart, but his words were enough to make the knights have a psychological hint. The rout just now was just a foreshadowing for the final victory, and the reinforcements were less than five hundred meters away, and for the cavalry, the support was only in the blink of an eye.

"Kill!"

"Liquidate the infidels!"

"For glory!"

Although the Ottoman army was strong, they were facing the trump card of the entire Western world - the Crusaders.

Perhaps the Jerusalem miracle of the First Crusade could no longer be replicated, and perhaps the aggressive nature of the Fourth Crusade had swept away the majesty of the Crusaders.

But when Dominic, with the knight's sword in hand, raised his arms again in the crowd and shouted "Deus Vult", as if God had really been gracious, the knights turned their horses, even though they were outnumbered, and rushed into the Ottoman line again.

Soon, the knights led by Hunyadi quickly joined the counterattack.

The Ottomans, caught off guard, could barely withstand the onslaught of the Crusaders, and the slave soldiers, with a large amount of wealth in their hands, could not even re-mount their horses.

The morale of the Crusaders was at its peak once again, and they roared and roared, piercing all enemies in their field of vision with their blood-glittering knightly swords.

The attacking and defending sides quickly switched, and the Ottomans were defeated in the face of such a massive attack of the Crusaders. The Frankar Heights, which had been used as a barrier, had now become an obstacle to their quest for life.

Ottomans were constantly being cut off from their horses by Crusader knights, and even Crusader knights had sped up and rushed to the heights of Franga to launch a counter-encirclement against the Ottomans.

However, Karacha did not panic, and in the face of the swarming crusaders, he directly chose to send the infantry that had been guarding the safety of Mehmed II in front of the Chinese army's tent to drive away the Crusader knights. It was only after several battles on the high ground that the Ottomans pushed back the fanatical crusaders.

At this point, the Crusaders on the flank front barely reaped the final victory, but according to the result, it was a defeat for both sides.

It was already dark, but the generals on both sides had no intention of stopping. The fighter plane is fleeting, and this bloody battle will usher in the most cruel ending.

……

"Hunyati, see, Ottomans, are vulnerable!"

As soon as Hunyadi, covered in blood, entered the king's tent, Władysław was already immersed in the joy of victory. The Chinese knights, led by Władysław and Hunyadi, witnessed the Ottomans abandon their armor, and everyone was eager to try and wait for Hunyadi to deploy the strategy of the next attack.

"We should now launch an attack on the right flank of the Ottomans. The guards of the Ottoman tent, our knights did not have so much trouble breaking through their phalanx. Since the Ottomans have arranged so many soldiers on their left flank, their right flank must be extremely empty! ”

"Well done Hunyati! Let's lead our knights and continue to charge! ”

Władysław drew his handguard sword and was about to rally his troops, but was stopped by Hunyadi.

"Your Majesty, you can't charge with the army!"

Władysław's face suddenly darkened, this was the best chance to prove his merits, and he would never give up. With so many king's guards by his side, he believed he could not be beheaded by the Ottomans.

"Your Majesty, you need to sit in the king's tent! The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the outcome is not yet known, and if the king makes any mistakes, the crusaders will immediately collapse and collapse! ”
