Have fun with the Byzantines!" And guess what? They send an entire force of MISSILE CAVALRY to siege the city. Middle cavalry + Italian Spear Militia = death to the Byzantines.
Now in laughing in the Byzantines' face, having taken 1/3 of the casualties they did.
Here comes the really funny part: they did this 3 more times. In a row.
I don't know why they keep doing it, but let's just say Iraklion probably isn't going anywhere. At least not to the Byzantines.
