Eagle Flag of Epirus
Vol 6 Chapter 3: Ambush (Part 2)
The shout of "Kill" was not the language of the Bolgar, but the Greek accent from the south, and the Bulgarian army, who was confounded by this sudden scene, was completely at a loss.
But it was obvious that the explosion of the mountain pass was the signal to initiate the offensive, and an ambush who had been waiting in the haystack for a long time also broke out at this time, and the army led by Boris was caught off guard. It turned out that the haystacks, which were supposed to be traps for ignition, stretched across the valley road, but the real purpose was to hide the ambushes perfectly.
This is simply incredible, not to mention that this is too bold. Once discovered, the soldiers lying in ambush are basically seeking their own death. But now it seems that the other party is betting right, and Baron Boris, who thought he was victorious, didn't even think of this level.
And Baron Boris, who had just reacted, hurriedly yelled:
"There are ambushes! Organize defense."
But it was too late. The Bulgarian riders who were just watching the march were not at the slightest precaution, and when they realized that they had fallen into the trap, there were already ambushing enemies everywhere.
In four rounds, light infantry armed with short spears and small shields swarmed up, and a group of three men attacked the Bulgarian warriors riding on horses. Although these soldiers in ambush use short spears that are about the same height as a person for the convenience of hiding, their offensive is suddenly amazing.
In particular, the ambushman who launched the attack did not place the target of the attack on the rider, but stabbed the spear to the unprotected neck of the horse in front of him. The frightened horse jumped up in a panic, and the rider above was almost lifted. Landing on the ground in such a small place, these Bulgarian cavalry riding on horses could not deploy at all, and the condescending advantage that they had originally had disappeared.
"Dismount and fight! Follow me to rush out."
encountered such an attack unsuspectingly, now the mighty and mighty Boris's army couldn't help getting into chaos. The helpless riders could only abandon their important mounts and choose to fight on foot to move closer to each other. Otherwise, if this continues, there will be heavy casualties. I don't know how many people are in the ambush. The most important thing is to rush out first.
But it's a pity that Boris's decision, which was originally wise, was in the arms of Justinian, who was waiting at the mountain pass to take the initiative to get into the trap.
Looking at the scene of abandoning the horses in the valley and trying to break through the ambush forcibly, the young man sitting on a large smooth rock showed a sly smile on his face.
A net of heaven and earth was actually already ready, waiting for the enemy on the opposite side to bump in by himself.
The instigator of all this was from Macedonia and arrived at Justinian in Bulgaria not long ago. Due to time constraints, only less than 800 people followed Justinian. If it weren’t for the cavalry on the opposite side, this time. The ambush may not be successful.
But I have to admit that although the opponent's commander is arrogant but not sloppy, if it is someone else, it is really possible to break out, but it is a pity that they encountered this little fox of Moria.
The so-called traces left in advance are nothing more than blindfolds to confuse the enemy, and the bold strategy of hiding the ambush in the haystack is because Justinian has caught the opponent's psychology of underestimating the enemy. Although many people were shocked by Justinian's horrifying plan at the beginning, it seems that they have achieved great success in the first place.
Abandoning their war horses, the Bulgarian warriors could only rely on relatively more sophisticated weapons and equipment to withstand the siege of the ambushes, but their opponent was the new army of Moria led by the Turkic Arslan. Can't stop revealing the frustration.
"Rush out, Master Boris, go quickly, rush out! Here we will contain the enemy."
The vassals around persuaded him, and in the chaotic crowd, Boris could only brandish his saber needlessly. The man who was destined to be unable to reverse the defeat bitterly cursed: "Fest, you actually colluded with a Greek boy, I must break your body into pieces."
In desperation, he led the riders around him barely out of the siege. Although the loss was huge, as long as he left alive, he could make a comeback. However, when he approached the source of the mountain pass, Boris suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood, and the ground was full of blood. It seems that the corpses of the Qincha and the warhorse were all destroyed. But the situation has not been allowed to erupt, regardless of everything, Boris still led his men toward the exit.
At this moment, heard a scream, "Let it go!"
Then there was the sound of the taut bowstring loosening, and the Bulgarian warriors, who realized that something was wrong, discovered that the fallen corpses on the surrounding ground were filled with bows and arrows and were shot into a sieve.
There is an ambush!
When this thought flashed through my mind, the Bulgarian warriors realized that everything was too late. The Byzantine crossbowmen who were originally placed here poured all their arrows to the opposite side, and their most direct target was Baron Boris, who was the most conspicuously dressed as the commander-in-chief. With all the arrows, even though he was wearing a very good scale armor, Boris was immediately shot and killed by a strong bow and horse, and the other guards beside him were also killed and wounded~www .readwn.com~ All the warriors who were struggling to get up were quickly killed by the ambushes who had caught up, and blood was spilled everywhere.
And with the death of Boris as the leader, the other Bolgars were extremely frightened. Although they were all excellent horse warriors and well-equipped, they had no fighting spirit. On the other hand, the news of the suppressed ambush was morale. The vigorous vibration, accompanied by the arrows shot by the succeeding team, immediately rushed the remaining Bulgarian team into fragments. Even the elite soldiers can only give up resistance and turn around in the face of such an assault. Scrambling to escape to another exit.
However, Justinian had already arranged an ambush there long ago, and the reason for not sending out before was to eliminate the roots. The Bolgar soldiers who were soon disintegrated were slaughtered by the Byzantine soldiers who came to seal the exit, and they were wiped out without the slightest mercy or hesitation.
Looking at the huge results, the plan has been successful, but Justinian seemed a little regretful at this time, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "Sure enough, I didn't expect it... Well, it's a pity..."
But Salius, the head of the guard who followed closely, saw the thoughts in the heart of his current young master, and looked at Justinian beside him with an angry expression: "His Royal Highness Odosia has been so many times. I'm telling you, don't take risks personally anymore."
