Eagle Flag of Epirus
Vol 6 Chapter 92: The decisive battle of Thessaloniki (part 2)
"Quickly retreat!" Only then realized that the two viscounts who fell into the trap had not had time to say what they were saying, and the Greek heavy cavalry in front of them had already cut off their path. In the face of this situation, the Latin knights had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush into the enemy line to fight, and they were greeted by the Byzantine heavy cavalry armed with a piercing mace.
Although there seemed to be a large number of Latin knights, they felt the difference in this Greek heavy cavalry as soon as they met each other. This was definitely the aura that a veteran had. The two sides fought back and forth. Although the knights were exquisite in martial arts, their horses were exhausted by the long-distance roundabout. And now they fought fiercely with the enemy's cavalry, some people's horses under their hips were panting.
So the knights soon fell into a decline, and from their sides, the Greek soldiers who came up with spears and large shields outflanked them in an attempt to cooperate with their cavalry to destroy the Latins.
At this moment, this scene also fell into the eyes of Boniface, who commanded the battle, watching that the cavalry armed to the teeth suddenly appeared to interrupt his planned surprise attack. At this moment, the man's brows could not help but clenched, and he clenched his fists subconsciously. It seems that he still underestimated the kid named Justinian, who was able to wipe out Achaia and Athens with absolute inferior force in Moria. The principality explained that the opposing party does have its own uniqueness in commanding troops.
On the other side, the bitter battle between the front army and the new army of Moriah is still going on. This kind of fierce battle is of no value at all. There is no hope for a frontal breakthrough, so the flanking Boniface must not be allowed. Lost.
Seeing a miss, Boniface would naturally not allow the elite team of cavalry he sent out to be surrounded and wait for death, and immediately reacted. I saw that the Kingdom of Thessaloniki sent a support force composed of light soldiers to quickly assault the Roman army from the flanks in an attempt to relieve the pressure on the knights and help them successfully break through.
However, all of this was also in the eyes of Prince Theodor, who was sitting in the army with Justinian. He immediately prepared to mobilize his army to block the Latin reinforcements, and ate the Latin knights in one go, but was Justinian stopped him, which puzzled Theodor himself.
"Now is the best time to completely wipe out this cavalry. What are you still hesitating?!"
Since a cavalry of this size was used by Boniface as an elite for assaults, it has already demonstrated its value. Now that you have been prepared before, it is undoubtedly the best choice to take the opportunity to wipe it out.
But in the face of Prince Theodor’s questioning, Justinian shook his head and replied confidently:
"It is of course not difficult to eliminate them. It is rare to gain the initiative of the whole battle. At least it is not the time for their curtain call. Your Royal Highness, since you have promised me that everything will be under my command, then I hope to take the initiative. You can try not to interfere with my scheduling as much as possible."
Justinian’s voice was calm, but there was an indescribable sense of oppression in it, so that a prince like Theodor Ducas felt a sense of powerlessness for a while.
Finally, he was able to "persuade" the opponent. Justinian did not choose to send troops to block the reinforcements of the Latins as Theodore had expected. Instead, he let the flanks pretend to be invincible and made a retreat. They fought and retreated. The Latin armies joined together. And the Latin knights who had been besieged were finally able to breathe. Seeing the enemy army surrounding them retreat like a tide, most people still have lingering fears, and no one dared to pursue them. However, all of this seems to be a completely different view from the Latin army supported by the rear. I saw that the Latin army that was the first to charge was unstoppable and drove straight forward, thinking that the cowardly Greeks' two-wing army had fallen into defeat, and naturally took this opportunity to expand the result of the battle. Up.
"Break them down, annihilate these cunning Greeks!"
In the voice of the leading Frankish nobles, the determined Latin soldiers even directly abandoned the cover of the two wings of the cavalry and were slaughtered. The Roman soldiers who were being pursued seemed to be defeated, even the weapons and weapons in their hands. The shield was also casually discarded on the battlefield, completely disintegrating. Such a sudden turn made Boniface extremely unexpected. He was only going to respond to the fallen cavalry force, but he didn't expect to destroy the Greek flanking army in one fell swoop. It seems that Justinian is completely focusing his elite on the Chinese army, so he will put up an arched army and use the elite trump card as the backbone to try to break through the Chinese army on his side, thinking that Boniface is still here. Some felt lucky, if it hadn't been a mistake, Justinian would have confused themselves and lost a great chance of victory.
Immediately grasping the fighter plane, Boniface ordered the entire army to attack without hesitation, including the rear army commanded by the Marquis of Dennister. The Greek army is obviously declining at this moment. Since it wants to completely annihilate it, it must give it all to achieve a complete victory. And Boniface also absolutely believes that after this battle~www.readwn.com~ in the entire Kingdom of Thessaloniki, the local nobles at the two ends of the first mouse will never dare to give birth to another heart and be absolutely loyal to him. This is absolutely necessary to deal with Epirus and Bulgaria's retaliation again.
Immediately, the Latin army, which was determined to win, came out in a fierce manner, vowing to end this protracted battle in one fell swoop. Even Dennister himself in the rear did not expect the battle to be won so quickly. Unbelievably, he looked at the two wings of the defeat of the Roman army. Justinian’s Chinese army had been surrounded by them. , Victory seems to be in sight.
Isn't this the opportunity to completely stifle Justinian's huge threat in the cradle! Without thinking, Dennister also showed an overjoyed look on his face at this moment. He also led the army towards the Greeks in a fierce attack, as long as the command center is breached, then the following skirmishers will not be a cause for concern.
At this moment, the situation seems to be getting more and more critical. The Latin army has broken through the two layers of defense of the Greek army in succession, but the Thessaloniki side has also paid huge casualties, but they have already killed them. With these, everyone knows that if the enemy's Chinese army is broken, then all of this will end.
But it was so ridiculous that all of this fell into Justinian's eyes at this moment. He glanced at the attacking enemy with a lonely cold look, and the young man was still calm and composed. At this time, the Latins also gradually calmed down, and suddenly found that the Roman double-headed eagle flag was close at hand, but the Greeks could not penetrate the last layer of defense.
At the same time, in a direction not far away, the chilling horn suddenly sounded at this moment-and this is a familiar sound to every Latin, and it is a prelude to the Bolgar's attack.
