Eagle Flag of Epirus

"Kill—" The shouts shook the sky, Byzantium and Achaia quickly fell into a fight, and the phalanx spears collided with each other in an attempt to tear each other apart, but it was obvious that the battle between infantry often took a long time. From the beginning, the Achaean army occupied a numerical advantage, and Baron Louis also prepared a trap for the Byzantines.

At the beginning, Byzantium gave up the defense and directly attacked and fell into a melee because the Achaean knights could not charge directly, but Baron Louis had changed his tactics.

The Chinese forwards are mainly militia and the weakest, while the two wings are elite heavy infantry, forming a central convex bow-shaped formation. From the beginning of the battle, the Achaean Army quickly retreated because of the loss, and the central Byzantine army also Immediately he concealed himself, but the two wings were resisted by the elite of Achaia, and the progress was slow. The originally protruding bow-shaped formation turned into a crescent-shaped formation.

"Penetrate the enemy, as long as they penetrate their battle formation, we will win!" Zeodore Cephalon still gave orders as a deputy commander. When he saw the changes in the Latin army, he spotted the army. weak.

However, Justinian issued the opposite: "Order the front army to slow down the attack!"

"Justinian, what do you mean, are you crazy? Now is the best chance. As long as the Latins break their formation and fight each other, it is our chance." Zeodoro Cephalon angrily thought Justinian It was done deliberately, trying to prevent his subordinates from doing meritorious service.

But Justinian didn't bother to pay attention to Zeodo Cephalon. He saw the trap prepared by the Achaian army for himself at a glance. Zeodoro Cephalon thought that defeating the Chinese army would make a battle, but he, like Paulus, the consul of the Roman Republic a thousand years ago, thought that he could defeat Hannibal of Carthage by attacking desperately. If Justinian really wins, then the Chinese army's continued attack will be blocked by heavy infantry placed behind the Latins, and then the entire Byzantine army will be squeezed and cut in three directions, and will be squeezed and cut by Alfio behind. The Si River blocked the last way and will be the last straw to crush Justinian.

This is a reenactment of the Battle of Hannibal Canney. Although the scale is much smaller, Justinian knows that he has already expected the opponent to adopt such a tactic. This is a very clever tactic under such a terrain. . However, All of this was deliberately arranged by Justinian. Choosing this place as a decisive battle place, he had anticipated the possible tactics of the opponent, so he also prepared traps for the Latins.

The key to copying the second step of the Battle of Canney is the cavalry charge on the two wings, and the Latins have been inactive because of how much fear he has never sent out to hide the Turkic cavalry.

But now Justinian ordered the soldiers to slow down their offensive, and even retreat slowly.

...

Sure enough, Baron Louis, who discovered the problem, immediately became impatient. If the Byzantine army retreats or stagnates, it is absolutely indispensable to eliminate the casualties of the opponent. This is the last thing he wants to see. He was indeed modeled after the tactics of the Battle of Canney, but the lack of Turkic cavalry made him hesitate. Back then, Hannibal relied on the Numidian cavalry to defeat the Roman League cavalry to make a final decision. He detoured back to the Romans to attack and defeated their formation to complete this epic victory.

But now I can’t control this. Baron Louis cannot watch the Byzantine army withdraw. He is indeed a cautious person, but it does not mean that he can give up a great opportunity to destroy this Byzantine army.

"Sir Giles, Sir Charlie, you lead all the knights and lead all the cavalry back to the Greeks to give them the final blow!" Baron Louis finally made up his mind, even if the opponent has Turkic cavalry as his back, but his knights share The heavy cavalry with more than one thousand men is sufficient to deal with unexpected situations.

The place on the right is a plain and there are reeds on the banks of the river as a cover. It is an excellent route, as long as you complete the detour, you can make a final decision. Byzantium has no extra army to prevent his cavalry from detouring and outflanking, not to mention any means to resist the heavy cavalry charge.

"Yes, Lord Baron!" The infantry melee caused them to be unable to enter the battlefield, and it was time for them, the knights who dominated the battlefield, to leave the city. The knights immediately led the cavalry away from the large army and circled towards the rear of the Byzantine army, but none of this escaped Justinian’s eyes. As soon as he saw a cavalry leave the battlefield, Justinian guessed the opponent’s purpose.

"Signing to Neusky, let him prepare to fight!" shouted at Captain Leo who was beside him, and Captain Leo also immediately ordered the flag-holder to wave the flag to signal to Neusky who was ready to ambush.

And Nevsky, who led the Varangian Guard and a small number of Chincha archers, was lying in ambush among the reeds and saw Justinian's signal to himself. He knew that the Latin cavalry was finally coming. Although they have done an ambush, they are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers~www.ltnovel.com~ However, somehow this man is surprisingly calm.

"Everyone is ready to fight, for the empire, long live!"

"Long live!"

The Latin heavy cavalry is like a sharp arrow thrusting into the heart of the Byzantine army. It is not difficult for them to roundabout, but when they are about to give the last blow to the disdainful Greek, they find that their way has been People blocked.

"Tsk-it seems that Lord Louis has also miscalculated!" Sir Giles smiled and looked at the inspectors on the riverbank. This number of people is vulnerable to their eyes, unless they are wearing heavy armor and holding a spear. Shield heavy infantry or heavy cavalry in the same harness, otherwise no one can withstand the charge of the Latin cavalry. Just as the Byzantines were shocked by the bravery of Western European knights who said, "Latins' lance charge can also break down the walls of Babylon." The Chinchats in front of them are just a group of barbarians without horses.

"Kill them directly, don't waste time, Lord Giles. They may be used to delay time. You shouldn't want the Greeks to just run away like this, right?" Sir Charlie looked at the inspector in front of him and didn't care. on.

"Of course." Giles's face sank after hearing Sir Charles's words. Of course he was not willing to withdraw the Byzantines like this. The Turkic ravaged his territory for the losses he had not dealt with. Set up an account! Then the man drew out the knight sword from his waist and roared.

"Strive to attack, avenge the perfidious Greek heretics, and make them pay the price for what they did before. Offer the gospel to God!" Sir Giles, who personally drove the horse, took the lead, encouraging everyone to roll forward, turning into a blast of wind Pounced on the Byzantine army. Enter chapter review (0)?
