Eagle Flag of Epirus

"The Eagle Flag of Epirus (

In the reeds of the river bay, 1,200 new Mystras troops, under the command of Godric, are divided into three groups, and the left and right sides are composed of infantry to cover, and in the middle, he personally There were more than three hundred cavalry on packhorses and mules. If someone can look at this strange army from a distance at this time, they will laugh out loud. After all, their funny appearance will definitely make anyone laugh. The dignified Roman soldiers have mules and pack horses under their crotch, but now Godri Neither Ke nor his soldiers were in this mood.

The future of everyone in the entire battle was in Godric's hands, and the soldiers of Mystras waited for his order.

"For Master Justinian, assault!" Godric, who was already sweaty in his palm, drew his sword from his waist and gave orders to the soldiers behind him, and then removed the heavily loaded Mystras Spearman. , Holding the kite shield, ran faster than the horse, and suddenly killed the unsuspecting Epirus from the reeds in a dense formation. They are Justinian’s most elite troops. They come from a good family of self-employed farmers in Mystras. After being protected by Justinian and owning their own land, they are Justinian’s most staunch supporters. When they chose to leave their hometowns to fight, these brave soldiers put their life and death aside.

The lightly armed soldiers quickly rushed from the muddy bay to the enemy in front of them. As soon as the new army wading across the river rushed out of the reeds, they fought with the enemy. The Mystras soldiers on the left and right wings were like Yanshen’s. Both arms firmly clamped the head and tail of the Epirus army, while the mule cavalry in the middle was responsible for cutting the serpent and giving the enemy the final blow.

"Follow me!" Godric's sword pointed straight at everything ready, and roared loudly. The mule horse cavalry behind him were also ready, and they slayed together in shouts.

When it was said that it was too late, the mule and horse cavalry that broke out from the center had already rushed to the Epirus right-wing camp, thrusting into the opponent's heart like a sharp knife. General Epirus, who had not reacted at all, was trying his best to organize the army to establish a line of defense. He did not expect that there would be a cavalry unit on the other side. Looking at the cavalry galloping out of the reeds, they were riding half a man under him. His ponies and mules charged over, and this scene made him feel both funny and terrifying.

Damn, what the **** is this?

"Array! Array!"

General Epirus roared heartbreakingly and asked his soldiers to quickly block the mule and horse cavalry who was about to approach. But everyone did not know that even the cavalry who rode on pack horses and mules were still cavalry. Under the condition of shifting, most of the right wing of Epirus facing the charging mule cavalry at this time are light infantry. They do not have any long spears suitable for blocking the enemy's charge. Many people's weapons are only short swords and long bows. , But unsuspectingly, they have no time to open their bows and arrows.

Watching more and more people gushing out of the reeds, the number is tens or hundreds. Behind every rider is a bright flag that keeps swinging. The soldiers of Epirus are full of fear in their eyes. , They don't know the origin of the enemy who attacked them and how many people there are. Due to the previous large forces being transferred away, the Epirus troops stationed here are now second-line and unskilled. Before the Mystras soldiers could be killed, some people were already shaken.

At this time, there was another vague shouting from the mule and horse cavalry group--

"For Prince Theodore, charge!"

"The Bunonius family of Thessaly is here to help!"

One after another, the roar of war fell into the ears of the Epirus people, making them frightened, what? ! Is it possible that Theodor is not dead yet? Agrinion has fallen? Why are the Thesari also here? All kinds of suspicions aggravated the panic of the Epirus army. Gradually, some people fled without warning, and more and more soldiers lost the will to resist.

Seeing the success of one's own bluffing plan, the mule and horse cavalry led by Godric became more motivated.

"Attack, defeat the enemy with me!"

Godric, riding a pony, raised his arms and urged his mount to enter the line where Epirus had begun to disintegrate. The short mules and horses rushed into the enemy line like no one, Mystras The soldiers waved their various weapons in their hands and reaped indiscriminately among the defeated enemy, and quickly defeated the remaining defensive formation of the opponent.

Watching this scene, Godric's heart was more excited than ever. He turned the direction of the load-horse under him. From a distance, he saw the epirus battle group in the center of the Epirus battle group. Anxiously, he was ordering his soldiers not to retreat. The bright red cloak and blue-gold armor on him were extremely eye-catching in the crowd.

"Hurry up and hold on to me!"

"No one is allowed to take a half step back!"

The self-conscious General Epirus didn't notice the danger at all~www.ltnovel.com~ He had been locked by Godric.

As long as you kill him, the battle will be set here. Godric thought.

Immediately, the young officer put away his sword, and Godric took a spear and a horse belly from the rider beside him, to take the other's life. The galloping packhorses ran wildly in the mud of the river, kicking their hooves, and wherever they passed, the Epirus fled.

"Kill—" Godric glared and shot straight.

When the general reacted, Godric's long spear had already pierced his chest, and then lifted it up in the air with a sudden pick. It was only because of the poor quality of this long spear that it broke in midair. But this scene was enough to scare the people of Epirus. The defeated Epirus soldiers who fleeed unintentionally dropped the body of their general and fled to the mountain pass without a team.

On the land of the river bend, the balance of victory in the war was completely reversed. With the complete defeat of the right wing of the Epirus army, the panic quickly spread to other positions. Rumors spread from ten to ten, and more and more Epirus soldiers believed that Theodor Dukas was not dead, and that the reinforcements with Colorsali had already killed. Even if the senior generals knew that all this was a lie, but the hearts of the people were lost, how could they restrain the troops? The reserve team that was in charge of opposing the formation was transferred away by Nicholas Ovania to protect him. There is nothing here. The fighting spirit of Epirus' army fell into chaos like dominoes.

"Godric, they succeeded!" Watching the defeated enemy flee to the Pingdus Pass, Justinian was excited. Under his command, the Morians and Albanians chased and shouted endlessly to the routs. The soldiers of Epirus chased and fought fiercely.
