Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 7 Chapter 58: Revival Cavalry

Justinian personally led the highly motivated heavy-armored cavalry to roll forward. At this moment, the heavy horseshoe hit the ground, and the panicked Latin only felt that the earth was trembling. In just an instant, when the Roman heavy cavalry rushed into the battlefield of the Latins, the formerly high morale of the coalition forces suddenly collapsed, and there was no resistance. And the fear dissipated like a plague, and the already exhausted Latins were in chaos. The soldiers rushing to flee in a hurry completely ignored the lives and lives of others. The soldiers who dispersed in a rush completely broke the formation and morale of the Latin coalition army.

As soon as the whole body is moved, the impact of the rout of a coalition army is chained. At this moment, the Latin army that has lost its cover is a moving target in front of the Roman heavy cavalry.

The moment when the heavy cavalry of the Roman Empire flanked the unsuspecting Latins, the victory was announced. The fast and agile cavalry are the kings on the battlefield. I saw that under Justinian’s command, they were like a sharp knife piercing the key. The Latins did not have heavy infantry and cavalry protection on the flanks, and Senna was originally responsible for the defense here. The army under the earl. But when no one noticed it, Senna and his army were all missing. This also exposed the Catalan mercenaries who threw the javelin to the charge of the cavalry. Although the mercenaries were very brave, the javelins in their hands were useless against the heavy cavalry. Just hearing the sound of earth-shaking iron hoofs, the Latins on both left and right were terrified at that moment, and when they saw the Greek cavalry riding on horses wielding hammers and swords in the army, they were harvesting lives like wheat. The Latin soldiers who had no courage completely gave up resistance and fled in a hurry, throwing off their helmets and unarmed.

The first to escape was the militia temporarily enlisted by the Latins. They were originally the object of the war between the two sides. This also made them completely numb to being enslaved by others, but this does not mean that they will not spare their lives. Disregarding the command of the Latin Commander team, these cannon fodder took the lead in throwing their weapons on the ground and turning to escape. They only wanted to escape and didn't care who the kingship was. And their actions immediately infected Alexander's mercenaries. They also chose to abandon their positions and had no plan to resist. Because there is no long-range force to guard, under this kind of terrain, the charge of their light infantry to meet the heavy cavalry is simply to die.

Seeing that the militias fled, the mercenaries in the Latin army took the initiative to retreat and flee at this time, without the intention of fulfilling their obligations. Obviously Justinian did not continue to pursue him, as long as the opponent withdrew from the battlefield, his goal had been achieved. The real goal is still the Chinese army camp of the Latin Allied Forces. At this moment, Alexander had no time to mobilize his guards on the front line, and the Latin army that suffered this heavy blow was in chaos in the rear. Without the protection of the mercenaries from the rear, they were now in a situation of being attacked by the enemy, and only the Roman cavalry was seen. They drove their horses and jumped into the Latin army to slash and charge wantonly, no one can stop them.

A huge panic permeated the Latin army in an instant. Seeing the Greek cavalry on the opposite side seemed like a long knife to take the vital points, they were getting closer and closer to the big tent of the Chinese army where Alexander was. When the Latin nobles saw this scene, their souls were frightened, but they had no choice but to look at them and shouted anxiously:

"Your Majesty Alexander, let's retreat! If this goes on, it will be dangerous here."

At this moment, the Latin aristocrats here just wanted to find a safe place to avoid their sharp edges, but King Alexander, who was in a trance and was rushed by the sudden change of the battle situation, had no ideas at all. Now he has no way at all. In the absence of his own guard, he couldn't figure out how to prevent the Roman heavy cavalry from attacking from behind, and retreating rashly was tantamount to making the king more guilty.

After calming down a bit, Alexander roared loudly: "It's not the time to retreat. Once you retreat, the situation will definitely get out of control. Resist! Resist! The crossbowman is ready to shoot."

Roaring and roaring loudly, Alexander was completely unable to calm down at this moment. He couldn't accept such a result. If he retreats like this, all the previous preparations would be in vain, and he really couldn't make up his mind. Under his order, the crossbow arrows team once again appeared on the battlefield, trying to stop the opposing cavalry from attacking vigorously with arrow rain.

And looking at this scene, Justinian did not have any fluctuations. Under his leadership, the elite Roman cavalry rushed out, unscathed in the dense arrow rain, like a thunder, turning into a torrent of steel to rush past and Nie. The strikers commanded by Uski echoed from afar to form a forward and backward attack on the Latins.

The narrow plain area, unable to retreat, gritted his teeth, Alexander sent the only remaining direct army to resist the raids of the Romans with flesh and blood. However, all the uniformed cavalry passed by were blood flowing.

Without the cover of the cavalry, how fragile the infantry facing the heavy cavalry alone is. By forming a commando team with hundreds of people in uniformed heavy cavalry, they can run wild in the enemy's formation. Obviously the gap between the two sides is overwhelming!

"Block them, block them! Crossbowman!"

Seeing that the Roman cavalry was getting closer and closer to him~www.ltnovel.com~ Alexander, panicked, had no idea at this time. It was the first time he witnessed this scene that he felt such a strong sense of oppression. I felt that where the cavalry was charging, it was clear that a group of monsters pounced on him. I saw the high-speed galloping cavalry directly hit the outer line of defense of the Latin soldiers.

But how could it be so easy to hold it? At the moment of receiving the enemy, the huge impact broke through the Latin defense line. A massacre-like sweep, and the heavy losses of the Latin army finally appeared in a rout, which could no longer fill a huge gap.

"Your Majesty Alexander!"

When Alexander watched the Byzantine heavy cavalry tearing apart his army formation, the other Latin nobles were also trembling, because their death date had come.

The terrifying Roman cavalry has once again become a nightmare for the Latins. Since the classical era, the strength of the empire has been declining, and the armored paladins were unable to maintain it during the Komunin dynasty. After the death of Emperor Manuel, the empire was in decline and it was difficult to support the powerful cavalry, which made the overweight cavalry disappear from the stage of history. Now, under the leadership of Justinian, the heavy cavalry is invincible. Looking at this scene desperately, as if watching a growing iron-fisted king about to bring new changes to the whole world.
