Eagle Flag of Epirus

Before the camp, the defending Vratsberg garrison had resisted the assaults organized by the Magyar cavalry again and again. Although they were at a disadvantage in numbers, they were under the command of Justinian and supported by the new weapon arquebus. Instead, the Bolgar fighters became more and more courageous at this time, and did not show the slightest timidity because they were faced with an encirclement that was several times their own enemy.

This situation not only greatly exceeded the Magyar’s expectations, even Alexander Olki, who was still standing on the sidelines and actually did not have any confidence in winning this battle, was shocked that they actually blocked the enemy’s iron hoof. charge. He didn’t know exactly how this was done. When Justinian ordered to meet the enemy head-on from a safe camp, he almost thought that the young Greek was a lunatic and knew nothing about the military, but now he But he didn't dare to look at it like that again. They were able to support up to now, although the soldiers' desperate resistance after falling into desperation was also indispensable for the support of the mysterious weapon called the hand cannon, but the most important thing was the formation made by Justinian before the decisive battle.

In this long and narrow plain, the Magyars, who clearly occupy the numerical advantage due to the restrictions on the surrounding terrain, were unable to spread the entire force well. And Justinian ordered the soldiers to set up a crescent-shaped battle formation. Although on the surface this seems to be beneficial to the cavalry charge, it actually minimizes the area of ​​the battle between the two armies and further weakens it. This gives the Magyar’s advantage in numbers. And at the same time, the crescent-shaped battle formation is also more conducive to the long-range output of archers and firecrackers.

It is precisely because of this that Vratzaborg's defenders were able to pay very few casualties as the price to abruptly drag the Magyars' superiority offensive, and even once grasped the initiative on the battlefield. But just as the Bolgars became more and more brave in their wars, suddenly, the army at the forefront felt the pressure on them from the enemy suddenly attenuated a lot. The Husar cavalry, who had smashed their heads and wanted to attack the Vratzaborg garrison, took the initiative to retreat, but the Magyars’ forces were now retreating as if the sea was at low tide.

Could it be said that the enemy gave up the attack? Just as the Bolgar soldiers looked at the departing Magyar cavalry in confusion, suddenly a loud roar came from behind them.

"Shield cover!"

Seeing the enemy’s change of formation, Justinian, who reacted for the first time, immediately understood the other’s intentions, and the heavily armed soldiers of the second-tier formation just raised their shields above their heads, and their heads fell on top of their heads. After the rain of arrows overwhelming, it was dangerous and fierce.

It turned out that the retreating Magyar army did not give up offensive but chose their best riding and shooting tactics. The light cavalry with bows and arrows aimed at the Bulgarian army within a safe range, and here they don't have to be frightened and watch out, maybe a matchlock hand cannon will open their heads.

On the side of the defenders of Vratzaborg, although the soldiers responded in time, many soldiers did not have time to dodge in the flash. As a second-rate army, the armor on their bodies was too crude, and hundreds of people were hit by arrows at once, and the morale that had been strong at this moment was no less than a head-on blow. But fortunately, it did not cause huge casualties, otherwise any power comparison between them in an instant may become the key to the outcome of the battle.

Hey, did you react so quickly? Of course, Justinian, who was in the army, was not threatened by the Magyar's bows and arrows. After all, this nomadic army's bow and arrow skills are better than armor and precise shooting range. It is not too terrifying. However, what made Justinian look solemn was that the suffering opponent found a countermeasure in a moment and quickly discovered his weakness.

That is the inability to counterattack in the face of long-range force attacks. In order to defend the cavalry from impacting Justinian, he had to choose to give up mobility. Long-range power depends on the shooters staying in the camp, and this is equivalent to treating the army as the opponent's long-range force. The target can't fight back at all.

...

...

...

"First round! Let it go!"

"A volley of archers!"

Under the shout of Yonosh as the commander-in-chief, Magyar's riders descended from their horses to shoot their bows and arrows towards the defenders of Frachaburg and project them towards the sky full of arrow feathers, covering them for a while.

The Bolgars should be fortunate that they are facing a strong and advancing cavalry force. If the opponent has a trebuchet, then it is no different from waiting to die at this moment. For this, Yonosh also feels deeply regretful. Originally, it was said that the Venetians once provided a batch of trebuchets to the northern Bulgarian nobles, and they were very effective when they were initially put into the battlefield. However, due to the carelessness of the commander on the battlefield, they were attacked on the way and not only lost their positions and wiped out the trebuchets. Into the opponent.

"It's a pity, if the trebuchet can be used on hand, it will be enough to destroy their resistance will." Yonosh shook his head and sighed. Although the attack effect of Arrow Rain is already very good, it will not be true for a while. Defeat the enemy.

After all, he has seen the difficulty of his opponent, even if he is afraid that the opponent's army will not be defeated so easily! However, in the eyes of this man, the victory of this battle has fallen into his hands. Although the opponent is tricky, it is already a dead end.

"Is it just consumed with them like this?" John Assen asked suspiciously at this time. He only cares about how to quickly defeat the handful of troops in front of them blocking their way.

And he was still a little puzzled about the Magyar's tactics in front of him, but at this moment, Yonosh was very confident and said indifferently:

"Now that the defenders of Frachaburg are all trapped here, why should you worry?"

"But you still haven't broken through their blockade here, haven't you?" The Bulgarian nobleman said impatiently, the civil war has entered a fierce heat, and time can be said to be against him.

But Yonosh was not very anxious. He smiled and looked at the enemy formation not far away and said, "The trapped beasts are still fighting. Naturally, you need to be patient in such a situation, sir. Look, no matter how fierce beasts are, they will be impatient. Lived in pain, plunged headlong into the trap the hunter had prepared for him."

...

As the two rounds of bow and arrow strikes passed, the Magyar mercenary army had used up a lot of their bows and arrows, but such a consumption was worthwhile, thinking that their blow and damage to the morale of Frachaburg's army was huge enough.

I saw that the originally rigorous Fraza army seemed to be somewhat loose, and it was under fierce bow and arrow attacks. In addition to causing huge casualties, it also caused a heavy blow to the morale of the Bolgars.

But at this moment, an unexpected scene took place. The Bolgar army, which was originally in a defensive state, had actually changed its formation at this moment, turning into an offensive wedge and slowly marching towards the Magyars.

Sure enough, still can't bear it? !

Seeing this scene before him, like a fisherman finally waiting for the fish to be hooked, the Magyar man showed a cold and proud smile on his face. It seems that he has driven his opponent to the end. After all, at this moment, the person on the opposite side is either waiting for the morale to completely collapse and finally being overwhelmed by his cavalry, or he is actively attacking to seek the last chance.

However, Yonosh, who has calculated all of this, is waiting for this moment, "I have finally waited for this moment. I am looking forward to meeting you at that time, but don't just let my life go! "Mumbling to himself, and long before the war began, this man ordered his men to capture the opposing commander alive.

"Ready to attack!"

Then the magnificent horn sounded again. Under the instruction of the offensive signal, I saw that the Magyar cavalry put down their bows and arrows and remounted their horses, and took the initiative to launch towards the infantry phalanx of Frachaburg’s defenders in an overwhelming manner. charge.

...

On the other side, among Bolgar’s army

"If God bless, your enemies will shed their blood here today!"

"The brilliance of Saint Cyril only shines on the real warriors, and the cowards only die in the battlefield in a tragic battle."

"Don't be proud that you are about to die for your country, because a true warrior will only let the enemy Ma Ge on the opposite side be shrouded, and you will survive as a victor to the end." Justinian shouted and encouraged the soldiers next to him over and over again. We, and he also personally put on the battle at this moment, it was never unfamiliar for him to walk on the battlefield. He held the heavy broadsword tightly in his hand, and his palm was soaked with sweat in the face of the coming enemy.

In this situation, it is impossible not to feel nervous at all, but he does not have any timidity at all.

Such a scene also inspired the fighting spirit of the Bolgar people. For hundreds of years, the most indispensable thing for this nation is courage. Even after being suppressed by the empire countless times, they have not given up resistance. Then, at this time, they were naturally more reluctant to show a cowardly appearance than an outsider from the Roman Empire. They saw that the Bolgar army, which was close to each other, finally got out of the previous panic and regained their anger against the enemy, despite the arrow rain just now. It makes many people frightened, but they know that this is their only life, they can only win but not fail. Under Justinian's personal command, the Bulgar infantry, holding a mortal determination, rushed towards the Magyar cavalry who was charging towards him, holding a long spear and a short shield.

"kill"

Amid the roar, the sharp lance pierced the human body, and the spears and hooks of the infantry were also tearing the torso of the horse and picking up the rider. The **** scene is disgusting, and there will be mutilated limbs and even internal organs flying in front of me.

But Justinian, who was already used to it, was not afraid. Instead, he still fought side by side with the Bolgar soldier, and saw that the weapon in his hand was also replaced with a spear, which is more suitable than a broad sword. Deal with the battlefield partners of the cavalry.

"The spears line up," he instructed. Justinian and the soldiers around him formed a shield wall and stood in the forefront. At this time, the Husar heavy cavalry, the most proud of the Magyars, also slew towards them.

I saw the enemy lined up in a wedge-shaped formation, spearheads flew out, and the cavalry with amazing strength at this moment issued a long scream of steel and silk, and the rolling horseshoes and sharp blades merged together. This kind of momentum is often You can overwhelm the morale of the opponent without having to charge, so that soldiers with low combat effectiveness can flee without a fight. But it is a pity that this has no effect at all for Justinian and his soldiers. The two sides quickly became entangled, and it was intractable. Not only did the trampling of the cavalry fail to defeat the defenders of Frachaburg, on the contrary, the blood in the blood of these warriors with nomadic blood was inspired to fight the Magyar invaders. piece.

At this moment when the enemy and the enemy were incomprehensible, the rear horseshoes of the Bolgar army made loud noises. It turned out that I don't know when a Magyar cavalry group actually completed a roundabout and arrived at the back of the Frachaburg garrison.

Although they were all light cavalry who were often in charge of chasing and fleeing or investigating with poor equipment, there was a sense of oppression from a distance at this moment. It turned out that this was the highlight of Yonosh's preparation for Justinian.

If it is usual for such a cavalry to be very difficult to do on the battlefield, but now the Bulgarian army is uncomfortable ~ www.ltnovel.com~ then it is difficult to say. I saw the cavalry at the rear slowly pressed up, there were hundreds of people, they were approaching, with a pressing aura.

"You lost...haha..." Looking at the battle in front of him, he had already gained the upper hand in winning the battle, and the triumph on the face of the Magyar man was beyond words. And he had been prepared before, waiting for the opponent in front of him to jump into the trap he carefully prepared.

According to previous investigations, according to the traces left by the opponent’s stove, Yonosh has already figured out the number of Frazaborg’s troops, and now has formed a flanking formation on both sides. On the other hand, the Bolgars can’t handle it at all. The remaining soldiers are not worth mentioning.

"Everything can be over, Sir John, I think you can be satisfied this time."

Just listening and observing the strength of Fratchaborg's army, Yonosh spoke out.

"These troops will be wiped out in the next, and all the cleverness they have done before can not stop their destruction." With condescending eyes looking at the Bulgarian army that has fallen into death, Yonosh revealed the victory of the victor. mercy.

...

But when he thought so, behind the light cavalry he sent out to outflank, the gate of the originally closed camp suddenly opened, and at this moment a cavalry force of more than 300 men suddenly fell into Jonoshi’s eyes. .

"What, how could it?!" When witnessing this scene, the astonished leader Mazar blurted out in exclamation, unable to believe what was happening in front of him. How could the opponent still have a cavalry hidden here, and it has never been used! Is it possible that this is all prepared for yourself?
