Chapter 7 anyway

Alexios Angelos, the general under Andronica, commanded the Chinese army and quickly moved closer to the front, and the flanks were soon filled by troops led by Phokas and Kimishis. In a short time, the military formation has been formed, and the formation is strong, and it is indeed a strong army.

The Turkic knights in front of the army stroked the horses under their crotches, comforting the horses like siblings, and the calmness of the master also quieted the horses over time, and the battlefield gradually became silent, and the aura of slaughter spread, as if the swords were rising together in the blink of an eye, and the flames of war were about to burn.

Andronika in the rear is reprimanding Alexios Angelos, the general she is close to, the Angelos family has always been one of Andronica's staunch supporters, and usually she will not reprimand loudly even if something goes wrong, but today's unexpected situation has far exceeded Andronica's expectations.

Isaac, who had infiltrated Constantinople to gather the nobles for Andronykala, had not received any good news, and that was it. Duilius, who had already stored the gold coins he had sent and promised to provide ships for the army to operate, also lost contact, but today he encountered an intercepting force, and it is needless to say how the enemy came to Asia Minor, and Duilius betrayed him. Andronica, who had been scheduled to take advantage of the darkness of the night tonight to enter the city and take control of Constantinople in a way that created the established fact, also failed, which undoubtedly terrified Andronica.

Gradually, the noise of the battlefield returned, even more and more, which made Andronika uneasy, and he galloped to the front of the battle on his horse, only to see a double-headed eagle banner erected in the opposite formation, and his own soldiers had already begun to stir.

"Is that His Majesty the Emperor on the other side?"

"Why is His Majesty the Emperor on the other side?"

……

The soldiers' panicked inquiries did not receive any response from the commander-in-chief, who had thought that they were on the side of justice and would fight for the glory of Rome by supporting the Komnenos family, but now the situation was so much surprising that they had not received an order to go to war with the emperor, and many of the soldiers had begun to waver and attack the emperor from the bottom of their hearts.

Andronika herself was in a state of extreme shock, wasn't the emperor seriously wounded, and how could the emperor, who was only fifteen years old, have the courage to lead an army to Asia Minor to fight against him, and he thought he was Alexander the Great, how could Andronica not understand that all this was a conspiracy, a trap to lure herself into a trap.

But it's not over yet, can a fifteen-year-old doll command an army to defeat his own lion in a hundred battles, Andronica scoffed, believing that all intrigues and tricks are false in the face of power, so well, it doesn't matter even if he bears the charge of killing the king, he will defeat that little boy here and be crowned emperor of all the people of Rome.

……

……

……

Alexios observed Andronica's rebels in front of the formation, and the Turkic mercenaries saw that the double-headed eagle banner did not waver in the slightest and remained as stable as Mount Tai, but the two wings and the formation of the Chinese army were scattered, and he knew that the opportunity would not come again.

Alexios took the double-headed eagle banner from the flag bearer beside him, and called out loudly: "Khayyam, take your men and follow me to Andronica." ”

With a shout, Alexios rushed out of the army and galloped towards the Andronika rebels, and the Turk Khayyam waved his saber in his hand, and the guards poured out like a tidal wave.

……

……

……

"Look, it's His Majesty the Emperor here!"

"His Majesty the Emperor is here!"

……

……

……

Andronika could scarcely believe that his little nephew, who was only fifteen years old, had the audacity to gallop in front of his battle formation, and he shouted: "Archer, archer, shoot, shoot!" ”

However, Andronica's call was not answered by his subordinates, and the soldiers hesitated whether to respond to the orders of their commanders, and in an instant Alexios had already galloped away from Andronica's main camp with his guards, and began to circle towards the two wings of the rebels, the flag of the double-headed eagle fluttering in the wind.

Alexios led his guards cautiously avoiding where the Turks were, and ran towards the army of Phukas and Kimishis.

On both flanks of the Andronika army, both Fekas and Kimishis, who were in Andronica's formation, immediately understood and raised their arms and shouted: "Your Majesty, Emperor, victory!" ”

In response to the response of some well-wishers, the soldiers also raised their arms and shouted: "Your Majesty the Emperor, victory!" ”

It didn't feel like a war was about to break out, but like the emperor of the Roman people, the great Augustus was reviewing his army, and the cheers of the soldiers on the battlefield grew louder and louder, gradually resounding in the sky.

Andronika in the middle of the formation turned blue and roared, "What's the matter? Send someone and ask, what's going on? Who is shouting the emperor's victory? Tell Phukas and Kimmis Hiss to execute them! ”

The herald returned not long after, bringing back news that had made Andronika almost vomit blood, and that Phokas and Kimishis, citing the refusal of the soldiers to attack the Emperor, were leaving his camp, "Betrayal, this is a naked betrayal! ”

By the time Alexios returned to his army, Andronika's army was left with his lone central army, and this time even the Turkic mercenaries were starting to be a little unstable.

Alexios laughed and said, "If Andronika had only had this trick, he would have ended up here today!" ”

Alexios' originally raised right hand swung down vigorously, and the herald immediately gave the order, and the giant trebuchet placed behind the formation began to roar, and dozens of large fireballs suddenly appeared in the sky and flew in the direction of Andronica.

Andronika saw the fireball flying out from behind the Emperor's military formation, her pupils shrank slightly, as if she thought of something, and turned back to little Angelos and yelled, "Let the Turks charge, hurry, hurry!" ”

Alexios Angelos was staring at the sky with his mouth wide open, looking at this scene in disbelief, the sky reflected a fiery red, but it was not warm sunlight, but a hellfire that brought death, Satan's weapon to punish all beings.

When he came back to his senses, the formation of the Turks in front of him was already in chaos, countless humanoid pillars of fire that were burning with flames were running on the ground, and the miserable cries spread like a plague, and the morale that had already fallen to the bottom was almost broken.

When Andronica looked back at the Chinese army, which was made up of peasant soldiers, sure enough, some of them had already begun to break and flee behind. Andronika was stunned, half of his army had reached the emperor anyway before the battle, and the enemy had completely destroyed the remaining morale of the soldiers by simply projecting Greek fire.

Unwilling, unwilling, unwilling, do I have to end my life like this, become a stepping stone for this child, Andronika is already in a state of confusion.
