Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 8 Chapter 49: The Battle of Kings (Part 1)

Seeing the purge of Moria's army quickly complete the transformation, Epirus and Bulgaria did not act rashly. Although they have a numerical advantage, they are still afraid of Justinian's existence. Whether it was the battle of Thessaloniki that killed Boniface, the Marquis of Monfila, or the civil war that fought among the Bolgars, that little Moria fox gave them a deep impression, and this time they truly became The opponents, the Epirus and the Bulgarians, are always on guard for fear that they will fall into each other's trap.

The Justinian army showed such a degree of advancement and retreat in a short period of time. Everything was in the eyes of Emperor Mikhail. He couldn't help but admire that a little servant from a humble background was able to do so, if he could be loyal to him. How good it is, it's a pity that the opponent is the blind emperor Muzifius, and this battle has become a matter of life and death between them.

Without hesitation, Mikhail ordered the soldiers under his command, "The whole army will attack, and give me a blow to defeat the rebellious Morias. Don't pay attention to the nonsense of the impersonating Grand Master in Thessaloniki. I will then appoint a real Patriarch of Constantinople again and let him hold a grand triumph for you."

Emperor Dukas directly used the most adventurous draw from the bottom of the tank. This trick was useless to the refugees who had lost their morale, but it could inspire the morale of the army that was shaken just now.

As soon as Mikhail’s voice fell, the uplifting Epirus army shouted long live,

"Noah! Noah!"

Believing that their emperor could win victory, the absolutely loyal and elite guards around Dukas first shouted. After the fall of Constantinople, the Romans who were migrating for refuge bestowed the title of Mikhail as their shelter, and the shouting soon spread to the whole army of Epirus.

With such a high morale, Justinian also realized that the next battle would be a fierce battle.

The first to attack was Mikhail’s three hundred heavy cavalry. They looked like a moving castle from afar, unstoppable. At the same time, they swarmed down like a flood of the **** behind them, which belonged to the Bulgarians. Hussars, they formed a huge wedge-shaped formation and swept toward Justinian's front. On both sides, the heavy infantry of Epirus and the light infantry of Bulgaria cooperated with each other and turned into pincer formations on the two wings of the battlefield to launch an assault. Under such a scale of offensive, the advantage of the combined forces of Bulgaria and Epirus was used to the extreme. Mikhail coldly looked at the army under the Black Fox War, waiting for the opponent to scramble for one and the other.

But Mikhail looked down on himself too much, and Justinian calmly watched the Ukian enemy come forward under the banner and did not give any more orders. Because Salius and Phokas, who are in charge of commanding the left and right wing, have already prepared for it-the previous changes in Moria's army were not for offense, but for defense at this moment. With the heavy infantry in front of the central army as the axis, the two-wing infantry and cavalry coordinated to respond immediately,

"Follow me to attack and repel the enemy!" Leaded by Salius himself, the revival cavalry under his command fluttered with horseshoes and took the lead from the flank. But instead of fighting the enemy cavalry as expected, they went straight to the Bulgarians on the left. This scene happened unexpectedly by the commander Mikhail of the coalition forces and the Connaught Palace. The Bulgarian light cavalry who had pounced on the Moriyas immediately chose to turn around partly, and they realized that the most elite heavy cavalry on the other side was actually targeting Long-range infantry on their flanks.

But at this time, it was a little late to react, and the Bulgarian infantry who had formed a pincer offensive were unprepared and received a head-on blow. The revival cavalry riding a tall horse is the legacy of the military reforms during the Komunin dynasty. Everyone is well-trained and well-equipped. They wear three-layer armor with a gun and charge unstoppable. The Bulgarians, who are mainly projectiles, are unsuspected. Break down the army. By the time their light cavalry rushed back to support it, it was already too late, and the sharp knife had already blooded Bulgaria once.

Witnessing such a huge loss, the Bulgarian court minister Connaughtin angrily cursed Justinian's army for not attacking according to routines, just as the opponent had shown in the civil war. Sure enough, Justinian was not a pleasant opponent. Earl Connaughtin bitterly regretted that he had not eradicated this scourge in advance, but cooperated with him, but at this moment, he was aggrieved and could only vent his anger.

Mi He Mi. On the Epirus side, Mikhail Dukas watched the situation on the battlefield with cold eyes. In his opinion, Justinian’s trick was not clever. The Bulgarians only took a stab at it and took the best of themselves. The powerful trump card is revealed ~www.readwn.com~ It seems that the so-called little fox is nothing more than this. Ignoring the flanking Moria cavalry rushing into the battle, Mikhail continued to order the Epirus army to advance across the board, using 300 heavy cavalry as the vanguard to attack the Chinese army where Justinian was located. As long as the black fox battle flag, which symbolizes Justinian's invincibility, falls, the entire battlefield will be settled.

There is indeed no problem with this kind of use of troops. If the position is exchanged, Justinian will do the same, but it is exactly the case. The soldiers in the Chinese army have already listened to Justinian’s instructions and stayed close together. It is the new army of Mystras. They are the army that Justinian has trusted the most since he started. They are loyal and tenacious. They have made great achievements during the Southern Rebellion, so Justinian is relieved to entrust this task to them. The infantry holding bucklers shoulder to shoulder with each other, fold the shields left and right beside the shields of their comrades beside them, while extending their sharp spears with the other hand, they form an airtight shield wall, only this This is a way to contend with the cavalry-this is the blood lesson learned by the Morians in the battle with the Latins.

On the open plains, the charged Epirus heavy cavalry began to accelerate at this time. Because of the geographical location close to Western Europe, they had seen Norman cavalry in Durazzo, so their fighting style was deeply influenced by the Latins. . The Epirus who launched the death charge blatantly launched an offensive, and their goal was the defense of the Morian Army. As long as they can be destroyed in the first time, then the friendly forces in the rear can continue to expand their results. , The gap in the front line of Moriah's army became more and more torn and even collapsed to carry out the massacre.

But what they didn't know was that what they were about to face was an army that was as tough as steel.
