Eagle Byzantium

That flag is said to belong to the world-famous Emperor Atiyah. Although the Bulgarian warriors accepted Christianity, they always believed that they were descendants of the fierce Hunnic royal family. This large flag has the shape of "IYI" dyed in black, and a dried wolf skull is tied to the top of the flagpole. It is the flag emblem of the ancient Bulgarian "Durohan" (according to legend, he is the son of Atiya). Glittering in the sunshine behind the snow, frightening the enemy.

Under this flag, there is a dark cloud-like cavalry, only three miles away from the front of Gawain's front.

Because it is a plain area next to a river, except for some isolated rolling hills, there is basically an unobstructed view of the terrain. In this situation, the confidence of the cavalry will be doubled exponentially.

As for Gawain's soldiers, in the face of the increasingly approaching countless cavalry, they could still calmly use various tools to build fortifications around the carriage, transport artillery, and enter their respective flag units and combat positions. This also requires great courage, because they There was frozen hard ground that was difficult to dig under his boots, and even so he was still shivering, shaken by the sound of horse hooves.

With the sudden burst of loud cheers, many infantry and cavalry soldiers on the left, right and central fronts raised their heads from their busy work. It was not an enemy attack, but their emperor riding a bronze horse, shooting like meteors and lightning. Passing through the queue, He didn't stop until he reached the vanguard cavalry. Then Gawain pulled the reins and turned two small circles in front of the snow. He shouted in a loud voice to the soldiers who saw him, "I'm here just because I'm here." See your victory from a closer distance!"

"Our commander, our father, the great Supreme Basileus!" The red-handed soldiers who were ready in front of the central battle line were all veterans who had followed Gawain for more than ten years. At this moment, they all shook their gray, The crimson war spear with a white mink tail responded loudly three times.

"Soldiers, don't be afraid of these bandits on horseback at all. Our artillery will immediately bombard them hard on the right wing, and the shooting corps of your brigade has been equipped with ammunition, and the avant-garde cavalry here also carry lightning-fast weapons." The light artillery is standing here, you just need to stand here and watch the enemies be knocked off their horses!"

"How great, how great! The Three Saints lead us to victory!" All the soldiers responded like a wave of anger. The laces on their helmets tightened their chins due to their enlarged mouths. Countless balls of white air sprayed out with the shouts. Out, soon the Red Hand Brigade and Ji The spearmen and skirmishers of the Magis Brigade shouted, and then the shooters also carried muskets and forks, swaying the scabbards behind their belts, and marched out of the formation with the same shouts at regular steps, preparing to use the blazing The shots blocked the enemy's cavalry charge.

Soon, the cavalry regiment on the left and the Royal Tomb Forbidden Army also started to make loud noises, especially the foot warriors of the Imperial Tomb Forbidden Army who were on the second front and served as a reserve team. They held their battle axes and iron spears high in their hands, especially hoping to fight here. Here he reestablishes his position in the new military system.

Mikhail Eustace stood in front of the imperial column, looking at Gawain's cavalry regiment with a forest of banners in front of him, and looking at the enemy cavalry further ahead that could cover the entire world, he couldn't help but feel secretly sweating in his heart.

Among them, Diogenes was arrayed in front of the guard cavalry on the left wing. He was wearing a white cloak and squinting his eyes. He was at the forefront of the battle more than Mikhail, so his mood was as tense as a bowstring. That way.

On the right wing, nearly two hundred caravans and baggage trains have formed a two-lane front near the river. The craftsmen are sweating profusely as they continue to build the barriers, while the detachment of the artillery regiment is under the brave command of Nexus, putting all the artillery " Push forward further, push forward further." The gunners shouted the slogan "Santa Barbara bless our eyes" and pushed the wheeled artillery rumble to the front of the car line before stopping.

On the opposite side, Kadam and Aklida also stepped onto the high ground, watching the movement of countless cavalry on their side and observing the enemy's formation.

The result soon surprised Kadam. "The usurper Gawain has strengthened his team. He now has more people than we originally expected! And he has brought many vehicles and firearms."

Hearing this, Aklida frowned and looked at the opponent's formation. This was an army he had never seen before...

On the central front, Gawain's soldiers seemed like a "big forest" that suddenly emerged from the ground - the tree trunks were full of large infantry spears and long blazing guns, while the soldiers in the front row were lined with branches, thorns and balsa trees. The stacks of portable spear-horses, and the various colored mink tails tied to the spear blades are particularly eye-catching. In front of each flag team, there was a small group of attached cavalry. They dismounted and held up a large, short and stout gun on their shoulders with a short fork, pointing it at their own moving battle line.

Gawain's right wing was lined with tall and sturdy chariots, all tied together with cooked cowhide straps. Gabions and earthen baskets were piled in the middle to serve as fortifications. In front of them was a larger "gun" with wheels. ", the muzzle of the cannon was raised - this scene seemed as if the opponent had built a city in a short period of time.

Gawain's left wing was also densely packed with cavalry, with teams holding Norman-style spears. The men and horses were well-armored, and there were also light cavalry with bows and arrows from Ogus and Comaroi guarding its side.

"Don't charge." Aklida suddenly said this.

But Kadam next to him did not refute. He also saw the opponent's camp. "No matter how sophisticated the cavalry is in a frontal charge, it will not be cheap."

The orders of the general and the bishop were quickly passed down to the front line. Many Wallachian light cavalrymen began to lie low on their saddles and gallop back and forth. The horses' hooves raised a ball of artificial snow. From a distance, only black horsetails were left, as if floating in the air. This was their usual combat skill - confusing and shocking the enemy, and seizing the opportunity to attack the enemy.

Seeing this, Emperor Gawain on the vanguard line knew that the opponent's skills were limited to this, and he couldn't help but sneer. He quickly asked the guards around him to blow the horn and raise the signal flag embroidered with the image of Saint Barbara.

The flag fluttered, and the image of Saint Barbara holding the tower quickly caught the soldiers' eyes.

"Fire." Nexus on the right wing turned his head and chopped off his arm.

"Saint Barbara!" The gunners pressed the gospel on the raised position of the gun tail, and then began to push the projectile into the gun barrel.

"Boom-boom-boom", the artillery in front of the right wing chariot retreated rhythmically one after another, and the black shells whistled sharply, drawing sharp and long curves, and hit the Bulgarian cavalry in turn.

The dirty black soil and yellowed white snow were blown up in groups, like many water columns in the black ocean. Many Bulgarian cavalry only saw that the shells rose like arrows in front of them just now, and hit their sides or their bodies in the next second. Screams, hisses and roars came one after another.

"Tell the soldiers in front not to act rashly, and keep calm." Kadam saw that there was a lot of chaos in the area of ​​​​the army that was bombarded, and he shouted hurriedly, and then he galloped down the hillside again to personally rein in the pace of the army.
