The Sultan's Guards were the most elite of the Ottoman army. Generally speaking, the Sudanese Guards initially consisted of a large number of armored infantry and cavalry. In the Ottoman army, which was equipped with light armor, such a unit was only responsible for the security of the Sultan. Władysław III died at the hands of the Sultan's guards.

And in the hands of Murad II, the Sultan Guards began to be massively armed with muskets and artillery. Not only that, but their training intensity and combat effectiveness were at the peak in Europe at that time. It is a force that will not be mobilized unless there are special circumstances. They have an even louder name - the Janissary Legion!

"Murad II transferred the Sultan's guards to Muhammad...... It seems that it is indeed decided to abdicate the throne. Giovanni lamented, "It's a pity...... This assassination of Muhammad will not succeed. ”

Obviously, the Genoese cavalry, who were at the forefront, had also found it a bit impractical to break through the last line of defense of the Sultan's own troops. Chain hammers, tripwires, and muskets are all natural enemies of armored war horses.

"Your Highness, wait a moment, I'll pick them up."

Giovanni greeted John with a stroke of his chest, and then put on his own covered helmet.

The sound of muskets from the Ottoman army made John gradually understand that the era of swords was about to come to an end......

In the city, Giovanni reserved a reserve of light and heavy cavalry of a total of 100 men in order to cope with the current situation. Once the assault of the Phoenix Legion is blocked, it is likely to be counter-surrounded by the Ottomans who have the number of people. At this time, Giovanni must take the remaining cavalry and open the way for the Phoenix Legion to retreat.

"For the Empire!"

"For Constantinople!"

The deafening shouts made the Ottomans under the walls, who were already preparing to turn back to surround the Phoenix Legion, to turn their attention back to the Golden Gate, and facing them were sharp knightly swords and heavy cavalry spears capable of destroying everything.

At this time, the Phoenix Legion, which was in the middle of the encirclement network, was already under the command of Vasika, evading the Sultan Guards from the flanks, and at the same time slightly changing the line and rushing out of the encirclement. The scimitar in Vasika's hand was already stained with the blood of the Ottomans, and he slashed all the way, and around him and his war horse, a no-man's land with a diameter of several meters actually appeared.

The fear of the heavily armored knights, still buried in the blood of the Ottoman soldiers. This charge undoubtedly added a new wound to the Ottomans.

Eventually, a small force of cavalry led by Giovanni approached the outer side of the encirclement, which forced the Ottomans to turn around and intercept the knight's charge. In this way, the pressure on the main force of the Phoenix Legion led by Vasika has been reduced a lot.

Soon, a huge gap appeared in the Ottoman encirclement network. First, the heavy infantry of the Phoenix Legion opened the way, and then the light infantry and cavalry jumped out and successfully escaped the encirclement. Giovanni also immediately joined up with Vasica to complete a brilliant breakout!

"Waste ......"

A few words popped out between Muhammad's teeth in a state of panic. Just now, the tip of that Roman cavalryman's sword was only a few meters away from his head!

The encirclement of nearly 10,000 people, and even the addition of the Sultan's guards, actually made the weak Romans kill through!

"Chasing ......"

Before Muhammad could speak, a picture that was even more unimaginable to the Ottomans was played out before their eyes.

The Roman legion, turned back.

I don't know if it was Vasika's or Giovanni's idea, the two men briefly communicated on their horses for a few seconds, and suddenly, commanding the entire legion, once again charged the Ottoman army.

This time, the goal is not to kill Muhammad, but to completely penetrate the Ottoman front line, and then go straight back to the Golden Gate!

The impact of the heavy cavalry in the light infantry formation would not be weakened in the slightest, and the Sultan's guards could not be put into the front line because they were guarding Muhammad's side. The remaining Ottoman hussars, in front of the Genoese knights, were only lambs to the slaughter.

"Really...... Two madmen. ”

From the lookout, John looked at the Phoenix Legion rampaging in front of him in front of him, and his heart was full of emotion. He could even see the longing glint in the eyes of the Imperial Guards who remained on the walls.

"In short, it's not a bad thing for the Empire." Sophia laughed, "I was surprised too...... I didn't expect the Phoenix Legion to be so strong. Imperial...... It's been a long time since such a hearty war was fought. ”

"yes...... But it's almost there now, let Vasica and Giovanni come back. Both heavy horses and heavy infantry have relatively limited physical strength. If you fall into the siege again, there will be no knight to save you. ”

"Yes." Sophia nodded.

"Your Highness! There is a merchant ship claiming to be from the port of Athens that wants to enter the Golden Horn! ”

"Merchant ships? Only one? ”

……

Finally, under the city of Thebes, after the fourth cannon was fired, the city gates collapsed.

Although the Ottomans had already built a defensive line behind the city gates, their hands holding weapons looked somewhat trembling.

Unfortunately, Constantine did not intend to send his troops on the offensive immediately. Just because they came this time, they brought a total of five shells, and at this time, the Venetian mercenaries were holding the last solid bullet in their hands. The Ottoman front was so densely packed to defend against the charge of the Imperial soldiers that it was just enough to appreciate how this group of heretics had been wiped out in the face of new weapons.

"Why don't you do it yet?" Constantine looked at the Venetian mercenaries with some strange eyes.

The mercenary could only stubbornly explain: "Your Majesty, this kind of heavy artillery is fired continuously, and it will take some time to cool down...... Otherwise, it can be easily damaged. So...... I'll have to wait for the next shot for a while. ”

"Then wait, Thebes City won't put on its wings and fly on its own!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

This was probably the longest torment for the Ottomans. Behind him was Larouch and his own soldiers. For those who flee from the battle, there will be no forgiveness. But in front of him, there are heavy artillery that I don't know when it will be fired, and tens of thousands of Roman soldiers who are eyeing it!

There was an eerie silence on the battlefield. The army of the empire was not in a hurry, but the Ottomans, who had been shouting wildly before, were full of pain.

"Thomas, this heavy cannon and the remaining musket ammunition in the port of Rome should be of great help to the defense of Morea if you find a ship to bring it back."

"Thank you very much, brother."

Naturally, Thomas heard Constantine's off-strings. Constantine should have been divided or directly governed by Athens, but he had no opinion, he had been a prince for decades, and his only wish was to see the empire, completely destroy the Ottomans, and complete this epic revival.

"Your Majesty, it's loaded."

"Then launch! And then, all the warriors of the empire! Toward! Former! Rush! Front! ”
