"There is an enemy attack!"

He completely relaxed his vigilance. When the javelins thrown by the Albanians and the arrows shot by the Albanians flew into the crowd in the reeds, the Epirus people who did not know the enemy's situation suddenly went into chaos. In addition, Bogdani led the mountain people under his command to set fire everywhere, and soon the entire reed swamp quickly turned into a sea of ​​flames, making a move to swallow the Epirus barracks.

"It's on fire, it's on fire! Run!"

The cries of one after another intensified the spread of panic. It was too late to put on the wet clothes and armor. The chaotic Epirus army seemed to be completely paralyzed. Some of the soldiers who fled were even naked, fearing the flames instinctively. Driven to escape to the river, and this was in Bogdani's arms.

"Kill-kill these miserable lackeys!"

Just listening to the strong Albanian man shouting, it was like a roaring lion jumping out of the reeds, holding two dual-handed tomahawks in his hands, slashing left and right, blood bursting into the crowd like gorgeous flowers. He really liked the feeling of fighting in the crowd with heavy weapons in both hands, and soon a dozen corpses fell under Bogdani's feet.

Immediately, the mountain people roaring like wild beasts came out of the reeds and pounced on their unprepared prey, accompanied by the heads and limbs of Epirus soldiers, stalactites, bluestone hills, The four tribes of rock and mud stab the enemy fiercely like four sharp swords. Their tactics are not like ordinary bandits. The clan warriors of the two tribes of Qingshigang and Panyan are the forwards, while the stalactite and muddy sand tribes echoed on the two wings to kill the Epi who tried to support or break out. The Ruth people, this kind of warfare skills are all due to the fact that they once served the Epirus nobles, and now those arrogant Epirus people eat the bitter fruit they once planted.

Soon, the red flag erected by the Epirus barracks camped on the edge of the reeds was cut down, and this was received as an offensive signal by Justinian, who was observing from a distance. Seeing that the Albanian striker succeeded in the raid, I realized that When the enemy was weak, Justinian didn’t hesitate anymore. The sword was pointed at—I saw three thousand Moriah soldiers ambushing in the Aselios River Bay, as well as Pebble Guards and tribal mountain people. They all got rid of their camouflage and gathered in the middle and lowlands of the river at the fastest speed, forming a large and rigorous army and marching toward Epirus with great strength.

Even Nicholas, who was so confused by the raid just now, was aware of such a big battle. He immediately ordered people to erect a high platform and looked up, only to see something out of nowhere on the flat river bay ground. An army is now approaching its barracks. On the other hand, on his side, the striker's camp was submerged by a sea of ​​flames at some point, and even the camp flag was cut down.

Nicholas, who felt that something was wrong, was furious and frustrated. He only heard him scream and roar: "Quick! Take my armor and pass my order down, and everyone will immediately line up to meet the enemy!"

"His Royal Highness, then what should I do?" The soldiers who were frightened by the sudden change in front were panicked and at a loss. They were stunned, and then Nicholas scolded his face.

"Useless waste, of course, is to send the entire army back to the front with all its strength. A bridgehead must be built there. There must be no loss!" Although he was caught off guard, Nicholas still kept his head clear at this time, and he could be reused. Not only because he was the illegitimate son of Emperor Mikhail, but also because he did have this ability.

Keenly aware of the importance of the camp on the edge of the reed marsh, Nicholas immediately ordered someone to pass the order.

Soon, the Epirus army, which was in chaos due to the raid just now, was severely reprimanded. Nicholas’ guards as the superintendent team used the iron and blood method of beheading deserters to suppress the two chaotic military camps. They were far away from the river. The two recent teams in Wanwan, but they have not been affected by the fire and attack, but their military commander was obviously shocked in advance. Nicholas came personally and replaced the officer in charge here and ordered the new officer to swear to observe military discipline, no matter in the face of arrows or flames, he must not leave the line without authorization and advance and retreat indiscriminately.

"It's just a sneak attack launched by a small group of enemies, immediately organize a counterattack, and no one dares to kill anyone who retreats!"

After Nicholas said that, the commander of the barracks who had just been dismissed fell to the ground in front of the soldiers, and everyone's heart was chilled. The great nobleman who gave both grace and power also ordered someone to carry out a box of silver coins and put them in front of him. Nicholas promised his soldiers:

"Who can regain the position of the outpost barracks, the contents of this box belong to him, and I will be rewarded for all the others who have been reaped." Realizing that the enemy came this time, Nicholas came up and promised to make great profits. , And sure enough, under his strict military orders and generous rewards ~www.ltnovel.com~ the panicked Epirus army restored order.

Soon, the Epirus, who had reorganized from the chaos, began to counterattack. The Albanians who felt the pressure first were the Albanians who launched the raid.

A full five companies, an axe cut down the enemy in front of him, panting Bogdani glanced over and found that almost a thousand heavy infantry were holding shields and spears in two large columns approaching them here. , The enemy is presenting an arc-shaped formation, obviously preparing to outflank the Albanian mountain people who are fighting.

The sound of shouting and killing shook the world, and the heavy footsteps of the Epirus infantry phalanx made the entire river bend shiver and tremble. Even the Albanians who were brave in the battle just now felt extremely pressure. They thought everything was going well, but after fighting for a long time they realized that they were only defeating a very small part of the Epirus forward. The enemy can't even count as a wound.

At this time, the best choice in front of Bogdani should be to abandon the position currently occupied. Obviously, the enemy’s purpose is to retake this place. However, the Albanian mountain people were ordered by Justinian to die like a wedge. Pin it here until support from the rear comes.

The four tribes of Qingshigang, stalactite, rock and mud began to shrink and close together, and the difference in the numbers of the enemy and the enemy became more and more obvious at this time. The mountain people began to waver if they continued to stay here, it would be tantamount to death. But at this moment, Bogdani waved the axe in his hand and looked at the compatriots behind him, shouting:

"Compatriots of the hill tribe, do you still remember the motto that our fathers left us? Limestone never owes it to others. Since the chieftain's son gave us this task, then we can't be underestimated by the people."
