Eagle Flag of Epirus

"It's you again, Justinian!" Recognizing the new Moriah army, Ivan Assen's face was gloomy. When he was in Thessaloniki, he had already seen the power of that army, and at this time it really became the biggest stumbling block on his road.

It seems that when I met Justinian for the first time, I had no wrong feelings. The Greek boy was indeed his biggest enemy. Perhaps the biggest mistake he made was to bring him to the front of the Ilovan Czar.

But how could Ivan Assen give up because of this setback, today he is determined to win, in order to completely wipe out the Palatonaon noble army in front of him, and to wipe out the threat of Justinian completely in the bud.

"Order Tangusff to release an arrow!"

Ivan Assen’s hand was slashed at this moment, and his nobleman Tangusv immediately organized the archer under his command to send all arrows to the new army of Moriah, and countless arrows swayed slightly in the air. He was kept by the tail feathers, and then howled and fell into the formation of Moria's new army. It fell under the strong wind, and the sound was shocking, and then there was the sound of metal clacking. The Moria soldiers who had been prepared had already raised the shields in their hands and blocked the arrows. It’s just that the enemy’s arrow rain is still too dense. After all, they can’t protect them completely. What’s more, they have to deal with the influx of enemies. I saw that a group of soldiers without armor shields were shot and fell to the ground. , But the new army of Moriah did not cause chaos or screams. The wounded soldiers were immediately replaced by mercenaries from Italy, and the casualties were also properly arranged.

This time even the Bolgar's bow and arrow shooting speed is amazing, the Moria new army position on the opposite side is still as motionless as a mountain, even if the Bolgar archer adjusts the direction and distance, he can't find the one in front of him. The weakness of the army. At this moment, the northern aristocratic army's front suddenly stagnated, giving the unsuspecting Paladonnaon aristocrats some time to breathe. After the soldiers in the south responded in a brief period of panic, they found that the Greek army around them as Gentiles was still stubbornly and intensively resisting the assault of the northern army. The sense of humiliation immediately caused the **** soldiers to return to the battlefield on their own initiative. Back to the predicament of defeat.

And all of this, Ivan Assen naturally saw in his eyes, and gradually became impatient, and Viscount Tangus next to him also looked ugly. He never expected that the fierce bow and arrow shooting would not be able to defeat the opponent, but he saw the initiative of the battle. Quan seemed to gradually turn to the side of the Southern Army. This made Ivan Assen finally couldn't stand it any longer.

"Let the guy Stein do it. Now that he has declared his allegiance to me, it's time to let him play."

Just listening to the young Grand Duke Leng Ran's order, the majesty in the voice was chilling.

As a result, the flag officer next to Ivan immediately waved the signal flag in his hand, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to sound the horn.

Not far away, Earl Bertonystein, who immediately led an army on the other side, heard the signal sent to him by the other party. This was a naked and tough command, which made the look on the man's face a bit helpless and complicated at the moment.

"Saint Cyril. It seems that I really have no room for rejection at all." As a southern noble who has returned, he actually had to do it as a last resort, so when the talks were made, he asked him not to participate as much as possible. The last battle can be regarded as an estimate of the feelings of the former colleagues. But now the stalemate situation left him no choice. Compared to being liquidated in the future, he would rather kill him regardless of his emotions.

Therefore, the Burgas noble army, which was still standing still, finally moved out of the camp and joined the battlefield.

"Hallelujah!" The soldiers of the brigade prayed to form the shield wall, with the tip of a dangling spear, pressing on the flank of the new army of Moriah. Their sudden appearance changed the situation of the battle again.

And this scene was naturally seen by the Earl of Connaughtin and Bolier Assen and they immediately issued the order to send troops to support. Although the new army of Moria does not belong to them, they are undoubtedly the backbone of the southern army on the entire battlefield. , Once Moriah's new army is eliminated, then the entire front will collapse.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom"

Just listen to the rapid drumming coming from my ears, this is the signal before the cavalry attack. Count Bourtonistin himself turned up on the saddle of the horse, and saw that he lifted the sharp and cold-lighted spear and personally led the Bolgar heavy cavalry under his command to charge towards the new army of Moria. At this moment, the new army of Moriah is still fighting with the enemy on the front and has no time to take care of it.

not good? !

Unexpectedly, Bolier Assen and Earl Connaughtin had a heartache at the same time, but it was too late to send troops to stop them.

At this critical moment, behind the new army of Moria, a cavalry that had already been reserved suddenly appeared. Following the signal, a bulge came out, and the Bulgarian rider who was sprinting rushed forward. I saw that they were all riding well-equipped war horses. At the moment they galloped horizontally and horizontally, the sound of their horses' hoofs was like a terrifying roar from the **** of war, which made the attacking Bolgars stunned.

The enemy in front of them is the heavy armored cavalry of the Roman Empire led by Justinian. These elite cavalry who served as the guards of the Grand Duke Anastasius also followed Justinian to Bulgaria this time. Shi was only thrown into the battlefield.

"Hand in hand with me to defeat them and kill"

Justinian roared, and although these heavy cavalry were few in number, the moment they collided with the Bulgarians was like a hammer hitting time and crushing the unprepared Bulgar cavalry, disintegrating the opponent's impact.

This made the Bulgarian cavalry, who had been defeated for a while, turned over and retreated and fled, and even the slayed horseman straddled his horse and drove towards his position, dispersing the soldiers of the northern aristocratic army. This once again gave Salius and his heavy cavalry a chance to attack.

"Killing" Justinian, who was holding a mace, rushed forward, turned over an unknown noble warrior of Bolgar, and killed him immediately. This scene suddenly made the Bolgar soldiers who couldn't believe all this frightened, and then gave up the trembling with Moria's new army and turned and wanted to escape, but how did Justinian give them such a chance and soon chased them. Go up and cut off the opponent's retreat.

"Defend, Defend!" With this response, the soldiers could no longer worry about entanglement with Moriah's new army. They quickly formed a hedgehog formation to face the heavy armored cavalry that fell. Soon a spear-tip wall was formed to resist the cavalry's surprise attack.

The Roman cavalry who rushed to face the Bulgars and adopted a defensive stance. Naturally, they would not be stupid enough to take the initiative to attack. Instead, they would take down the compound bows at their waists and open their bows and shoot at the Bulgarian soldiers. These elite riders couldn't help mastering the fighting methods and riding skills of the Frankish knights, and they did not lose the slightest bit of the riding and shooting skills that the empire had learned from fighting with the nomads for a long time.

But this has become an unspeakable nightmare for Bulgarian soldiers. Facing the rain of arrows, these infantrymen who dare not to separate can only gather their fronts and hold their shields to resist bow and arrow shooting. It will soon become Le a huge hedgehog. , And whether it is the sound of bows and arrows shooting on the shield, the shouting of soldiers, or the vibration of horseshoes, even the billowing smoke and dust are torturing the nerves of these lower-level soldiers at this moment.

And because of this, the panicked Bulgarians are not as neat as the new army of Moriah after all, and the tight hedgehog array finally revealed a trace of gaps and omissions, and this will naturally not be overlooked by the battle-tested Justinian. Drop. Immediately, many empire’s cavalry, under the leadership of Justinian, chanted slogans, once again formed the fence used to deal with the Magyars, and slammed them against the dense spears of the Bolgar soldiers. Up.

Under such a huge momentum, the ground seemed to be trembling. Such an elite mounted cavalry burst out with such a tremendous power, which made the Bolgar heavy cavalry quickly abandon the infantry and rush away, which undoubtedly made a heavy blow. Morale of Bulgarian soldiers. Immediately under the wall charge of heavy cavalry, the disintegrated Bulgarian warrior fled like a bereavement dog.

At this moment, the northern military, which was still in absolute superiority, was in chaos. The soldiers who fled in the front row and the soldiers who followed behind rushed together, making the entire army seem to be crumbling.

And all this fell into the eyes of Earl Connaughtin and Boriel Assen, and any resistance of the two immediately ordered the other nobles under them to gallop and launch a full-scale counterattack against the Northern Army.

Then, Giovanni hit the assault color flag below!

At this moment, the morale of the southern army was soaring, shouting the slogan of destroying the rebels, and launched a fierce attack on the northern soldiers in front of them, followed by the cover of many Bulgarian light cavalry. As soon as he took time, the Semiium noble army, which was already in chaos, was defeated and lost, and lost its helmet and armor.

"Kill it!" Just listen to the cries of the nobles of Paladonnaon one after another! They seemed to be completely free of the panic and anxiety at that moment. At this moment, it seemed as if they had turned the tide and rushed to the forefront to chase and kill the fleeing enemy troops, looting the trophies and prisoners.

However, Justinian seemed indifferent to this, and did not take the credit of the southern aristocrats to his heart, but at this moment he was vigilantly guarding the surrounding places.

Sure enough, when Justinian saw that the Paladonnaon Noble Army was about to approach the camp where Ivan Asen was located, the counterattack and resistance suddenly became more frantic. The southern aristocrat who thought he could happily win the fruit of the final victory was in turmoil. It turned out that the northern army who fled just now returned to the horse and killed it. At the same time, two unidentified troops on both sides of the flanks suddenly joined the battlefield. They came from Kiev. Rose's mercenary! It seems that it’s not just the Magyars, Ivan Assen has other tactics. Such a mercenary is undoubtedly very dangerous as a reserve team, but the moment when the Ross people holding the battle axe suddenly join the battlefield, the war One time the balance changed.

The Ross soldiers wielded a large axe to chop the cavalry up and down. Anyone who came, no matter the cavalry or the infantry, could withstand the blow of these madman-like berserkers.

Only the archers of the Southern Army tried their best to repeatedly draw their bows and shoot arrows. Until many people were exhausted, they could barely stabilize the line. But the Russian mercenaries still endured the continuous blows of the arrow rain. Pushing forward steadily, he abruptly crushed and surrounded the Paladonnaon army that had caught up.

Looking at this scene from the hillside, Ivan Asen's face was gloomy, and he said coldly:

"It was originally prepared for Justinian, but you guys unexpectedly ran into it by yourself without blinking. Since you died by yourself, you can't blame anyone else."

But at this time, the sky was not known when the clouds were overcast, and no one noticed under the fierce fighting, knowing that the rain was beating on everyone's armor, and people realized that it was raining.

At the same time as the rain fell, the Northern Army, who turned around and encircled the Southern Army, carried out a brutal strangulation under Ivan Asen’s orders. Soon, the troops led by the two southern aristocrats were completely wiped out. In the ambush circle arranged by Ivan Asen. And this scene was seen by all the other nobles of Paladonnaon without fear.

They were so careless that they thought that relying on Justinian's Greeks could reverse the decline and defeat the mighty Northern Army, but in fact they weren't Ivan Assen's opponents at all.

"God!" Someone finally became timid and muttered to himself, but at this time, the dark clouds were rolling and the rainstorm was falling, and the mud and raindrops under the soldiers' feet were constantly exploding, washing away all the blood, so that everyone did not have it. Because of this cruel war, I stopped the atrocities in my own hands with compassion~www.readwn.com~ I saw the soldiers tumbling in the mud, despite their bodies being shattered by swords, their stomachs pierced by spears, or nails. The brains of the head hammer burst, and they were still fighting frantically. The two sides of the North and South Army who had commanded them, faced each other in the increasingly heavy rain, and fell into a stalemate.

At this moment, both the soldier and the commander are in a critical value, silent and looking at the battlefield quietly. The casualties no longer have any meaning, it is just a number, Justinian and Ivan Assen. All that matters is when the other party makes a mistake due to the increase in this number and finally becomes passive. Both sides are caught in a fierce battle, which is undoubtedly not a good sign, because most commanders are unwilling to fall into such a battle situation. After all, the battle situation is ever-changing, and the longer it is delayed, the more likely it is to make mistakes. But now, although Ivan Assen is anxious, he doesn't think he will lose. He knows the Bolgar better than Justinian, and if this continues, even if the new army of Moria can support it, the weak Paladonnaon nobles will not be able to sustain it. What's more, Ivan Asen still has the last trump card unused. The time is almost noon. At this time, the Magyar cavalry led by Yonosh and John Assen should also arrive.

This victory will eventually belong to me! Ivan Asen coldly looked at the black fox battle flag in the distance, and said fiercely in his heart. At this moment, far away, the rough horn sounded from the distant sky, making everyone's hearts on the battlefield seem to be pulled away at once, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.
