Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 6 Chapter 35: Battle of Frachaburg (Part 1)

"Tsk, it seems that these Magyars are not as simple-minded as they thought!"

   After getting the news from the front line, Justinian couldn't help but spread his hands and said helplessly, but even so, the expression on the young man's face was still relaxed. But at this moment, Seleius, Arslan, and Alexander Olki, who is now behind Frachaburg, in front of him, are in a very heavy mood.

   They thought that they could rely on burning the grassland to delay the enemy's advance, and rely on the strategy of slowing down to fight for more advantageous fighter opportunities. But they didn't want to be seen through by the other party all at once, and found a solution neatly and solved their suspicious situation.

"According to the current situation, the enemy will be able to reach us within two days as soon as possible. And the entire Frachaburg mobilization should be barely complete... But whether they can withstand them, the key lies in Watt. "Daritai." said the worried Alexander Olki. Together with the more than 300 Turkic warriors brought by Justinian and the soldiers from the city of Vracha, their total strength does not exceed 1,500. The opponent of the Magyar army going south. As time passed, the key to the victory of this upcoming war lies in the Vadaritais of the army that has not appeared for a long time.

This can’t help making Alexander’s defense commander very uneasy. After all, he has seen the grievances between Bulgaria and them for the past two years. He knows well in his eyes, even if Justinian is confident, but in his heart he feels great towards Vada. The Ruitai people sent troops to help out with little hope.

   As for Alexander’s worries at this moment, Justinian didn’t seem to pay too much attention to it. Instead, he set his gaze back on the sand table in front of him, looking at the position where the Magyar army was at the moment.

   "The head-on set fire... These Magyars also resorted to quite decisive countermeasures. If you want to come to their commander, it shouldn't be an unknown person!"

Justinian muttered to himself, his blue eyes lit up with a warning light. When future generations face a forest fire, if they encounter a rapid spread or spread of fire that cannot be achieved by the usual methods such as water spray or swat, the fire suppression effect is not achieved. This is often the case when a range fires. However, this kind of countermeasure was unexpectedly thought of by a group of nomadic troops fighting for water and weeds.

   If there is no strict control and unauthorized ignition, then the method itself will not only not perform the function of the fire belt, but may be counterproductive, as long as the wrong step is taken, the fire may expand. It stands to reason that it is difficult for ordinary people to come up with perfect control without sufficient experience... From this point of view, the commander of the enemy army should by no means be a waiter.

   suddenly turned to look at Alexander Olki next to him, and Justinian asked: "You said before that Magyars going south to harass has been commonplace in the past years, so who is the commander of this army, do you know?"

"Commander..." Unexpectedly, Justinian would suddenly ask himself this question. Alexander was also taken aback. Then he reacted and replied: "Oh...you said this...this time the Magyars' commander's name is Yonuo. What's more, he is a very cunning bandit leader. We have suffered a lot in his hands. In fact, in the past, we have also invited the Kingdom of Hungary to join us to clean up the Transylvanian thieves’ lair, but let that guy Escaped."

"That's the case, so it seems that this Yonosh should have colluded with the Selmium nobles a long time ago. This time our opponent is obviously not so easy to deal with! I have to admit that the speed of decision-making is really true. Very fast. It was less than two days after the other party arrived. I didn’t expect them to find a specific strategy immediately. I really don’t want to encounter such an enemy!” Justinian could not help but complained, but in other people In his eyes, it was obvious that the situation had deteriorated into this, and the young adult in front of him was still coping with it.

   Arslan and Salleus were already familiar with Justinian’s commanding style, but it was nothing. This situation now fell in the eyes of Alexander himself, but the man’s scalp was numb.

   Although Justinian’s tactics when dealing with the original garrison commander Ivanko were terrifying, he really didn’t have the confidence that a young man in his early twenties had such an amazing military talent.

Since they are already at a complete disadvantage in terms of military strength, everything that follows should be as stable as possible. It is enough to ensure that Frachaborg does not fall. More than a thousand people will definitely find their own way to fight, but if the infant city is stuck, then it is still More than enough.

   But Alexander Olki didn't know that he was thinking too simple.

Just when he was about to propose to Justinian to mobilize all manpower and material resources to strengthen the defense of the entire Frachaburg to withstand the possible invasion of Magyar at any time, Justinian suddenly stood up from his position and pulled out The long sword around his waist pointed to the map in front of his desk and said:

   "In two days, order the entire Frachaburg to mobilize. Two days later, we took the initiative to go out of the city to meet the Magyars here and give them a big ‘surprise’!"

   When this order was delivered, Alexander almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears. He hadn't expected such a thing to happen at all. With the army at an absolute disadvantage, Justinian as the commander-in-chief couldn't help choosing the safest place to stay. Instead, he took his army to abandon the fortress of the strong city. This is not crazy but stupid.

   And he wanted to oppose it but it was too late. The other two people, Arslan and Salius, accepted the order calmly, which made Alexander even more comprehensible.

Finally, the Bulgar man who could not accept Justinian's order couldn't help but object: "Master Justinian, it would be too dangerous to do this! The enemy's army is at least four times as large as ours, and the battlefield you choose It is a plain suitable for cavalry operations. This is obviously beneficial to the enemy and not ours. Allow me to reject your order."

   "Then what do you think~www.ltnovel.com~Your Excellency Alexander?" Justinian was prepared for such an objection and asked instead.

   While looking at those deep eyes, the Bulgar man was also a little nervous for a while, but he still expressed his thoughts and said:

"Since this is the only way to the rear of both Sofia and Boriel, then we only need to stay here. Although there are many enemies, they are mainly cavalry, and it is bound to be difficult to conquer. Even if they choose to besiege, this way It’s enough to hold them back to fight for the victory of His Royal Highness Baurill’s battle on the eastern front. Isn’t this more secure?"

   It is true that Frachaburg has been in charge of defense for so many years. Alexander is far more capable than his previous boss, Ivanko.

   But it is precisely because he has developed a habit of caution over the years that he ignores the key point, and this is precisely why Justinian insists on attacking.

"You are right. It is indeed the safest way to avoid proactive attacks and wait for work to hold the enemy down. This way, even if you are facing danger, you can wait for the Eastern Front reinforcements to arrive later. But this kind of countermeasure is that the enemy will really be caught. We hold the nose"

   "Hold your nose?"

"Yes, if the enemy does not take a frontal breakthrough but develops a circuitous approach, what should you do? For example, the Magyars directly bypassed us and rushed to other places that were already empty because of the civil war. This is pretty commonplace for an army that is good at mobile warfare. If this is the case, Mr. Alexander, are you going to continue to watch from the wall in Frachaburg?" Justinian’s sonorous voice sounded, and this The question left Alexander Ordinary speechless.
