Eagle Flag of Epirus

Remember in one second【】

https:///>In the evening of the Roman Empire, in Macedonia, an army is marching towards their destination in an orderly manner.

"Master Justinian, are you sure that we don't attack Rusny?" Sarius asked from the side. After suppressing the princes of Thessaly and surrendering, Justinian led a large army northward and successively captured several warlords in Western Macedonia who had taken refuge in the Dukas family. At this moment, he was preparing to cross the Akmon River and head straight for Thessa. Lonika left. But in Saliuus' view, it is safer to take advantage of the emptiness in Northern Epirus at this time to seize the other's nest.

Riding on the horse, Justinian shook his head and said, "Mikhail is not a stupid person. How could he be assured that his lair would not be attacked before leaving? I guess he must have a back hand. Although we were in Pindus before. Yamaguchi defeated the army that went south to the Dukas family, but most of them retreated. Even though they were wounded, they were enough to hold on to the mountain fortress of North Epirus. Now if I rushed to attack, I would easily fall into the quagmire. Besides, there are the Patriarch and the Empress in the city of Thessaloniki. I think Mikhail Dukas also won the wind before joining forces with the Venetians and Bulgaria. This is what we must save when attacking the enemy. He knew I couldn't afford to gamble."

"But our troops are still not enough." Salius couldn't help looking worriedly at the slowly marching team behind him. The situation is indeed better now than just a few months ago. The princes of Thessaly swore to Justin one after another. Ni, the authoritarian of Moria, was loyal, but even so, the soldiers brought in from the Peloponnese and the troops added by Larissa Agrinion, totaled only a little over 10,000. At the same time, the Dukas Bulgarian coalition that besieged Thessaloniki had at least 40,000.

"Yeah, it's not enough, it can almost be said to be a big difference." Justinian said frankly what Salius really wanted to say. He didn't deny this fact at all, he could even guess. Mikhail may be waiting for him now, but he is not ready to back down in this battle.

With the whip in Justinian Qingwu's hand, he rode up on a mound not far in front, looking at the vast land in the distance. The entire Western Macedonia, which has been baptized by the flames of war countless times, is like a prisoner with a shaved head, and there are not even the slightest green trees on the bare wilderness. It seems that he was infected by the scene before him, and I don't know where he was proud. At this time, Justinian said: "Salius, do you remember when we first met? The Latin horses swept the entire Peloponnese. , And only one or two thousand people in my hand came to Fort Wiscari, whether it was Mikhail or Theodor, they did not take me as a small person in their hearts. But after three years, I was able to rise to the cold. Without stepping the soil, I will calm the whole of Moria and Macedonia and sit on an equal footing with them. So this time, I can also do it-defeat them with a dignified teacher and completely end the civil war. Rome's sore should also be Start digging clean."

After all, there was the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and I saw that the scouts sent by Justinian had finished their mission and rushed back.

"How is it?" Justinian asked before the scouts dismounted.

"My lord, you are not wrong at all. The enemy on the opposite side of the river has already occupied Gaofu and built several camps, but it seems that the opponent is not doing anything."

"Hehe, Mikhail seems to have been waiting for me a long time ago." Justinian turned to look at Salius and laughed. Be prepared."

After learning the new information, Salius pondered for a moment and asked Justinian for instructions: "If you want to cross the river safely, I am afraid that these camps must be pulled out one by one, Master Justinian. Even if the army left behind is not Many, the other party may also threaten our logistics. Should we wait for Focas and Count Talanit and then attack them together." In order to reduce losses, Salius proposed a safest way Now that the Akmon River is in the dry season, Dajun does not have to worry about being threatened when crossing the river.

But Justinian rejected his subordinate's proposal in one fell swoop, "No, these are Dukas' eyes in Western Macedonia. Since I want to give the other party a sap, I must first blind him."

"But you just said that you are going to fight a dignified battle."

"That's just an analogy." Justinian blanked his stubborn subordinate, then took the map sent by the people around him and unfolded it, with a smile on his face, and said: "Look, Du Cass’ army camp was built on a relatively flat lower high ground. Until now, they have not noticed our arrival. At this time, if you don’t send a small force from upstream to stabb them in the back, it’s really impossible. ."

"But the topography of the upper reaches is much harder to walk." Salius pointed out to his autocratic company.

"That's why I want to bring Albanians here."

...

Approaching early morning, the violent cold wind was stronger and stronger. The blood-stained riverbed of the Akmon River greeted the first ray of sunlight. On the riverbank, the stacks of layers were full of miserable dead bodies, and there were countless corpses in the river. The soldiers who were drowning in panic would feel very strange if anyone saw this scene. Even if they were defeated and fled, why would these people come to a dead end? Obviously, the night raid went smoothly. Dukas' army hardly responded, and several camps were easily breached. The Epirus army thought that the enemy was coming from the front, but when they prevented the defense from going to the main entrance, the raging fire had engulfed the road behind them. Waiting for them to see clearly, they were a group of mountain people holding huge axes and broadswords. Rush out of the flames to take their heads.

The flag hung high above the occupied camp, declaring the ownership of this place. Justinian led the army across the river one after another and entered the camp to rest.

And as soon as he entered the stockade, what came up to greet Justinian was the bold laughter of the strong Albanian man. Bogdani of the Qingshigang tribe was replaced with a new set of chain mail, except for his original In addition to the two-handed battle axe ~www.readwn.com~ there is also a sharp sword.

"It's enjoyable, enjoyable, this battle is enjoyable!" Compared to the alert when they first met, the Albanian mountain people at this time did not treat Justinian as an outsider at all. Bogdani patted his chest and said:" If there is such a good thing again, don’t forget to call us!” Although the Albanian mountain people got the promise of Justinian to settle down in a town, but because they are not used to a settled life, Bogdani is the leader. Some mountain people still accepted Justinian's employment to participate in this battle. The price that Justinian gave them is also very simple. They can choose the loot first, provided that they are absolutely obedient. This time, the Albanians finally tasted a lot of sweetness. Since Bogdani, the mountain people have changed a new set of equipment, but the appearance of mixing and matching several sets of armor always makes people look a little funny.

And Justinian was too busy, and said: "Of course, but I have clearly reminded you before, you must leave me at least a few lives!" Seeing the mess in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless, as expected. The fierce mountain tribe, on the other side of the river, in several camps, there was even a single one alive and not left behind. This time, Justinian's original plan to obtain intelligence was directly frustrated.
