Eagle Flag of Epirus

How could this be? !

Justinian, whose plan was disrupted by this unexpected event, couldn't help being stunned. Seeing the sudden appearance of the Bolgar army on the battlefield, he subconsciously looked behind him. According to the agreement at the beginning, there is only one person who is the commander of this attack. What does this mean? The emergence of this army caused too many variables to make Justinian's heart sink. If the overall plan is disrupted, the consequences will be disastrous.

"These troublesome Bolgars will really cause trouble at this time!" The angry Justinian cursed secretly in his heart, but the command of the army on the other side also began to adjust.

But the same surprise also included Tsar Kaloyan who was sitting behind watching the battle. From a distance, he recognized the owner of the flag of the Bulgarian army. It was his nephew Bolier Assen who was not someone else. At this time, people also discovered that they were around. I don’t know when, Archduke Borier, who should have been behind and staying behind, has disappeared, and his guards who belonged to him disappeared together. At this time, he and they were appearing together. On the battlefield ahead, the gap in the city wall launched an active attack towards the Latins.

"Who made him do this, jerk!"

The furious Tsar Kaloyan couldn't help but roared with anger in his heart, while the nobles in Bulgaria behind him were silent. According to the old Paulgarian customs, the Grand Duke Boriel will be the new czar in the future, and no one can stop him except Kaloyan himself. The reason why Kaloyan himself was so angry is also the same. Although he is hesitating between Boril and Ivan on the issue of heirs, Boril is the Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Bulgaria after all.

Watching the army led by Boliel Assen personally rushed into Thessaloniki City, then Czaroyan could not sit still at all. On the surface, the coalition led by Justinian seemed to have the upper hand for a while. However, anyone who has been fighting for a long time knows that just breaking through a wall cannot be a final word. Once the Latins shrink their forces, street fighting will be a nightmare. Not only will they end up with a city in ruins, they will also pay unprecedented amounts of money. casualties.

"Quickly, move the soldiers up, and intercept Bolier!" Czaroyan hurriedly issued the order, who shouted loudly, but at this moment, many aristocrats were embarrassed at this moment, and many of them had backing support. The Paulgar nobles in the upper position of Baolier, because at this time, once they put their troops on the battlefield, it will trigger the final decisive battle in advance, and no one can be sure that they will attack a heavily guarded city in a hurry.

And looking at the appearance of these nobles under their hands, as if they were still in command, Czaroyan's face was as cold as frost and blue, but there was nothing he could do-after all, people seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, on the surface. Bulgaria seems to be monolithic, but the independence from the Roman Empire was actually achieved more than 20 years ago by several nobles. The Assen royal family said that it was not good to be a co-owner. Even if he wants to force these people to work, it is impossible to succeed without a sufficient price.

But at this moment, Prince Theodor, who had been watching coldly, suddenly spoke:

"Your Majesty, wait a moment! If you arbitrarily mobilize the army like this, I think it will cause unnecessary trouble and disrupt Justinian's previous plan. In that case, I am afraid that it will not only be unable to protect Grand Duke Baolier. On the contrary, security will push the coalition forces into crisis." The reality of this Bulgarian army is a bit strange, and Prince Theodor also saw some of the tricks. Although the Bulgarian army is really in the interests of the empire, but it is always subconscious. He felt that something was wrong in the end and he did not approve of Czaroyan's decision.

Seeing this, Tsar Kaloyan, who had been unable to mobilize other nobles in the first place, had to take advantage of the trend and chose to give up, "Then...then I have to wait and see the changes temporarily...but Justinian can really have a perfect solution. Is it?" Looking at the limited combat force in the hands of the young man called the "little fox" on the battlefield, Kaloyan himself was not optimistic. Originally, he didn't expect to take the city of Thessaloniki with one effort. He just wanted to take this opportunity to consume the power of the Greeks, but the power of the new trebuchet he used was far beyond his imagination. However, this was not enough to reverse the current situation. Kaloyan, including other Bulgarian nobles, couldn't help but put a big question mark on what Theodore had just said.

On the other side, the battle ahead was still particularly tragic. In the fierce battle, the soldiers on both sides were exhausted~www.ltnovel.com~ Especially the corpses piled up everywhere in the gap in the city wall. The Roman army and the Latin army met hand in hand, in a small space. It is already very difficult for people to get close together and even to wave their arms.

In such a tug-of-war, the only thing that can determine the victory or defeat is the toughness of the soldiers. This is undoubtedly because the Latins are more dominant, but by virtue of their numerical advantage, the Thessaloniki defenders under the wall are also under great pressure. The siege war continued, only the wall on this side was silent.

I saw that the huge boulders on the head of the city were still bombarding, the smoke and dust filled people's eyes, and the broken limbs flying down made the scene on the battlefield **** and terrifying!

But at this moment, the Bulgarian army that suddenly rushed over broke the deadlock, and the Guards personally led by Boriel Assen scrambled to enter Thessaloniki.

Just listen to his voice thunderous, resounding through everyone's eardrum canal from far to near:

"Let me kill and slaughter these weak enemies. This rich city will soon belong to us. Let us take captives as much as you want, my compatriots!"

This fat man who was laughing wildly on the horse, although his horse covered with flesh and blood, was unable to breathe, but he was powerful. The guards he led did not care about being an Allied Roman army, indulging in the horse's iron hoof. Trample, and crush both Romans and Latins.

But such crazy pig tactics seemed to have a miraculous effect. The Latin defenders, who were still fighting the Greeks before, were completely messed up by this sudden attack.

"Where did the cavalry charge?"

Suddenly aware of this scene, the Marquis of Dennister was also caught off guard. He watched his soldiers under the city wall being violently attacked and couldn't help shouting in rage. The guards around him were also watching, but in the chaotic scene, everyone watched. Unclear situation!
