Eagle Flag of Epirus

"What, how could this happen!" He didn't expect that there was a hidden cavalry on the other side. The wide-eyed Yonosh couldn't believe what happened before his eyes.

And at this time, the opponent had already foreseen his plan of battle before, so he took a breath of air and looked at the enemy formation inconceivably. If this was the case, then it would be terrifying. In fact, Yonosh felt faintly wrong just now, obviously his opponent had already prepared.

That is to say, he has gotten into the other party's trap at all, but this is terrible. Although he didn't want to believe it, Yonosh had to admit that he was careless at this time. The traces of the stove left by the opponent's previous march were nothing more than suspicion, confusing him that he did not anticipate the existence of this cavalry.

At this moment, the Magyar Hussars who were in charge of outflaming the rear of the Vratzaborg garrison were instead wrapped up with dumplings.

I saw that they were not facing the Bolgars, who were exhausted by the fierce fighting, but the Turkic cavalry who had been recharged for a long time. These excellent warriors have followed Justinian for a long time, loyal and determined, scattered from left to right under the leadership of their young leader Arslan, and rushed towards the flustered Magyar cavalry at high speed.

"cover!"

"We are large in number, don't be afraid of them!"

"Press it up!"

"Go!"

The Magyars, who were startled by the group of Turkic people who appeared here inexplicably, still did not realize their situation. They tried to rely on the number of people to resist the unstoppable attack by Arslan and his men, but they soon I will regret it.

At the moment when most of the cavalry units on these battlefields that were only responsible for chasing and reconnaissance collided with the Turkic cavalry that swept the world. It was torn to pieces in an instant, and in just the first round of charge, countless Magyar riders fell from their war horses. It's just that they didn't fall to death, but were pierced by sharp cavalry spears before.

The Turkic cavalry did not adopt the usual circuitous and outflank combat method of using bows and arrows to carry out long-range firepower strikes, but directly launched a charge like the Latin cavalry. And the Magyar cavalry is their opponent. These Turkic cavalry nowadays have long been different from those used as mercenaries in the past, and their equipment is simple and crude. Since their allegiance to Justinian’s command, they have also been equipped with sophisticated equipment. Nothing is inferior to the garb of the Gulam cavalry under any sultanate. Just to paralyze the opponent, Arslan and the others put on linen shirts on the outside of their chain mail. So when the Turkic army group began to slowly gallop up and stand upright toward the Magyar assault, the opponent did not have it. The slightest precaution.

And against the arrows shot by the Magyars flying in the sky, the Turkic cavalry quickly attacked at this moment. The thick linen woven jacket and chain mail on their bodies are good protections, which perfectly reduces the Magyars. The kill of the bow and arrow. And when the shortcomings really came together, the battle situation immediately became one-sided.

"Retreat!" The head of the Magyar mercenary army saw that something was wrong, and quickly ordered his subordinates to leave the battle immediately, but how easy is it that the Turkic cavalry at this moment has long been like bone gangrene, where would they be put all over their bodies? And retreat.

At this moment, the two armies collided together, and Arslan led a few of his servants and broke into the Magyar cavalry formation, as if into the land of no one. Under the horse rush, the Turkic man who was indulging in the fight even broke the cavalry spear he used, but Arslan still waved the heavy mace in his hand and threw all the enemies in front of him.

And beside him, the other Turkic warriors are also selected by the Khanate who are not afraid of death. Unlike Westerners, although they are mercenaries, most of them are expelled because they fell victim to political struggles. The existence of, the money is precious, but they are more desperate than their European counterparts, not to mention that Justinian is equipped with iron armor and sharp knives for them at the moment, even if there are a lot of Magyars in front of them, they are really not Seen by them.

The Turkic warriors who entered the Magyar cavalry army were invincible in the melee, and this scene was seen by Jonosh in the distance. These are the lives he has finally saved. He has been living for so many years. Tevalanysia has resisted the Kingdom of Hungary and other countries for many times of encirclement and suppression by relying on the middle-headed army, and now such a one-sided slaughter makes this man unable to continue to calm down at this time.

He wished to rush over to smash those Turkic cavalry into pieces at this moment, but he couldn't understand why Turkic people appeared here at this moment. It was incredible. He didn't remember when Bulgaria would hire Turkic people across the strait. , But now he can't take care of so much, and if this continues, his original plan will not only go bankrupt, but even lose the lives of so many soldiers.

Ignoring so much, Yonosh immediately ordered his army to abandon the entanglement with the Vratzaborg garrison and instead pick up the Magyar light cavalry that was besieged by the Turkic cavalry. Relying on the advantage of numbers, he only needs to keep a small number of soldiers to resist the Bolgars, and the rest of the elite will be personally led by him to deal with the aggressive Turks.

"Wedge array!"

Hearing only a loud roar from Jonos, the Husar heavy cavalry beside him formed a triangular array and pierced the Turkic cavalry like a spear. As the commander, he was at the head of the spear, trying to take the lead. Destroy the Turkic cavalry in front of him with a powerful charge.

But at this moment, the Turkic light cavalry, who was still surrounding and annihilating the Magyar light cavalry, quickly got out of the fight, but instead of retreating, they immediately changed their formation.

And then these actions made Yonosh even more puzzled. They saw that these Turkic cavalry did not form a traditional cavalry array, but leaned tightly against their companions and turned into a wall toward the Magyars. They charged head-on. At first glance, it seemed that these Turkic people seemed to be quiet, but in fact they launched an astonishing charge, without fear of the dominant Husar cavalry.

With this formation, are they not afraid to avoid trampling death and injury if a horse falls? For the first time witnessing this kind of cavalry offensive tactics that do not follow the routine, Jonosh somehow always feel a little uneasy. And when the two armies were reloaded together, the battle situation changed dramatically in an instant.

I thought that the Husar heavy cavalry armed with a lance could easily crush the few Turkic cavalry in front of them, but the two handed over, the scene before me was not the Magyar spear penetrating the body of the Turkic people, but the Turkic. The scimitar in the hand will naturally cut the Magyar cavalry's body in a high-speed charge. Although many Turkic cavalry were assassinated by cavalry in the first wave of offensive, the Turkic cavalry formed a strong cavalry but did not appear to be overwhelmed.

On the contrary, the Turkic cavalry became more and more courageous in the war, and gradually gained an advantage in the collision between the two nomads. Not only the Magyar, but at this moment even Arslan himself was surprised to find that although the number was at a disadvantage, they actually withstood it!

Naturally, all of this is due to Justinian’s wall-style assault. This method of warfare that has only been popularized in the army in modern times often exerts amazing power when dealing with cavalry in the old age, and the mystery of it It is the dense charge in modern times that has reduced the number of enemy soldiers that each soldier needs to fight against to a minimum.

Therefore, the Magyars who formed the wedge formation seemed to have a large number of them on the surface, but they were unable to launch the formation to defeat Arslan. Instead, they encountered the siege of Turkic cavalry under the dense formation.

And watching this scene, Justinian finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time. To be honest, he could not guarantee whether he could rely on a wall charge to block the elite Husar cavalry of the Magyars. But in the end he made a right bet, but for all this, thanks to Arslan and his Turkic cavalry. This set of tactics requires a high level of cooperation among soldiers. It requires long-term coordinated training to achieve it. It can only be achieved by Arslan and their Turkic companions who get along day and night, and their own excellence also makes the wall charge. The power of the game has been maximized.

Not enough until now, Justinian still has a heavy look on his face. Although they have turned back to the war a little bit, they are still in a disadvantageous situation. The number of enemies is too great. Arslan and the others are stronger, the number is limited, and the wall is added. The charge master is not yet proficient, and the fierce battle will change later.

Seeing that the time was approaching noon, but what Justinian wanted to wait for did not show up. If it weren't, then he would really lose the battle!

Justinian was in a mess. At the same time, Yonosh and John Assen on the opposite side were equally anxious. The Magyars actually fell into a bitter battle. Although the situation was not unfavorable, it finally made Yonosh, who was already in his hands, unable to help but sink. I'm out of breath.

"Damn Turkic heretics!" the man snarled almost gritted his teeth, and at this moment he didn't care about putting all his troops into this line of defense. Yonosh had already seen that as long as these Turkic cavalry were wiped out, then The victory of this battle will definitely belong to him.

...

...

...

But when the two sides were fighting fiercely, a low and mournful horn suddenly came from a high mountain in the distance. It caused everyone's horror to cast their gazes there. How could there be the sound of the army's trumpets coming over at this time?

Yonosh and John Assen looked at them suspiciously, but the sight they saw sent their hearts into the icy abyss.

A black shadow appeared above, and almost two thousand five hundred cavalrymen entered people’s field of vision. They were lined up in two large columns with spears, looking down on the narrow plain. The situation of military confrontation.

At this moment, they are like the most important weight on the scale of victory, and their every move will indicate which side the goddess of victory will be more inclined to.

The eyes at noon also became more dazzling at this time. At this time, all the soldiers who were still in the fierce confrontation could not help but be stunned, trying to figure out what the army's intentions were.

At this time, the army of cavalry finally moved and saw them galloping down the hill, and when people finally saw the flag behind the cavalry clearly.

Justinian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body was put down like a huge burden, because he saw the flag that had been waiting for a long time and the eagle flag belonging to the glorious Roman Empire.

Unexpectedly, the Vadaritai people would still keep it, and this proved that Justinian did not miss their loyalty. On the other side, although the Byzantine flag was recognized, the leader of the Magyar mercenary still didn't figure out what was going on. Wasn't it the Bolgar that he was dealing with? Why is there a Byzantine army coming out of it? Beside Yonosh, John Assen showed an expression that he finally understood something on his face at this time. He immediately got rid of the shock and shouted:

"Quick, quick, they are in the same group! Retreat quickly!"

The first thought was not how to defend, but to avoid fighting and evacuate here. John Assen already understood who the enemy he had dealt with before. He should have guessed it a long time ago. From the time the Turkic cavalry appeared, he was remorseful for what he should be aware of ~www.ltnovel.com~ The Bolgar nobleman, he really never expected that as a Greek chaser Stinny would actually appear here and stand on the side of Archduke Bolier.

In Thessaloniki, John Assen has already seen the power of Moria’s little fox, and his brother Ivan’s jealousy of the Greek boy has also proved all this. If you continue to fight, it will definitely be bad. of.

But it’s too late for John Assen to give the order to retreat. He just listened to Gaoshanzhi’s chanting in Greek.

"Long live the glory of the Roman Empire, fight for His Majesty the Emperor and defeat the enemies of God!"

Led by Semiius, the leader of the Vadaritai, thousands of cavalry rushed forward. Although they were all light cavalry, they all held weapons such as Byzantine cavalry axes and scimitars that were not considered handy. But their screams were shaking, and the horseshoe made the entire valley tremble. On the other hand, on the Magyar side, at this moment, they were exhausted and exhausted because of their previous fierce battle with Justinian.

This is when they are most vulnerable. The first thing that shakes is that the Magyar army that was responsible for containing Justinian's infantry, faced the enemy that was like a tide, and the frightened officer first left. After losing his soldiers, and then the frightened warriors threw their helmets and armors and fled, and the army that could have been barely blocked was suddenly torn apart and turned into a feast of killing and carnival for the cavalry.

"Oh, God!"

Looking at this scene, Yonosh muttered to himself that the victory has been announced. The defeated army made his scalp numb, and everything was doomed to him.
