Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 6 Chapter 62: Bulgar

While the Greeks and Latins in the city of Thessaloniki were panicking, outside the city, the Bulgarian army was now completing the siege of the city. Fastest update

It can be said that this time the Bolgars really came out. Tsar Kaloyan led an army of nobles and nobles in the territory, a total of forty thousand people, drove through the plains of Macedonia, and completely ignored the northern line of the Kingdom of Thessaloniki. In the town of, changed the previous harassment tactics and chose to directly attack the city of Thessaloniki. Obviously, they were prepared to completely wipe out the Latins in Macedonia without giving Thrace and Constantine. The Latins in Dinburgh reacted in a moment.

I saw that they were taken from the north of the mountain as cannon fodder and Hante tribe warriors were being driven by the Bolgars to prepare siege equipment. As long as the czar gave an order, they would be the forefront of the offensive, and they were not allowed to retreat no matter what happened. One step, even death. In the Bulgarian army, many Russ and Chincha people joined, but they basically joined as mercenaries. Obviously, this time Carloyan really spent a lot of effort to eliminate Boniface.

Only for now, it seems that there are still some differences in the attack on Thessaloniki within Bulgaria, so that under the Tsar's tent, there are still quarrels between the two nobles.

"No matter what happens, it can be concluded that the Latins in Thrace and Constantinople should not have reacted yet! And now the emptied Thessaloniki is besieged by us, even if it is immediately from the sea. Ask for help. Their reinforcements will not arrive for a while. At this time we must act immediately to take down the city. At that time, the entire Macedonia will belong to us. Please allow us to attack, Your Majesty the Tsar!" I saw a group of nobles on the left. Obviously he was unwilling to wait for the passage of time, trying to persuade the Czaroyan to take advantage of the victory to take down Thessaloniki, and their leader is not someone else but the Duke of Boriel, the nephew of Czaroyan. He is also trying to persuade his uncle to agree to their plea. After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Along the way, due to the czar’s express ban, many soldiers have been dissatisfied with the army’s inability to looting villages along the road, and now it’s hard to capture the surrounding areas. The fort hesitated to a city, and they couldn't bear it anymore.

But their claims were ridiculed by the other party.

"Stupid thoughts, my dear brother, don't you think you are just as self-righteous about that stupid thought as yours."

"What are you talking about!" Blushing, looking at the direction where the sound came from, and looking at Bolier with a trace of coldness, the boy Paulgar slowly got up from his seat, and he was Kaloyan. Another nephew of the Tsar, Ivan Assen.

The young man standing in his cousin completely abandoned the plan to directly attack Thessaloniki City. He looked at his uncle and said: "Now we can't attack Thessaloniki directly anyway, your majesty, Once the center of the Latins is destroyed, and not to mention that we will probably suffer heavy losses in the siege, it is very likely that our results will be cheaper than the Greeks of Epirus. They can completely accept a large number of Macedonians without blood. Territory, and when we were guarding a city empty and surrounded by Greeks and Latins, we would be in a dilemma, and eventually get nothing. I think my dear brother, you and the people under your hands probably didn’t think about it at all. Go ahead! Only thinking about how to capture a city and then looting, but don't care about what will happen afterwards. It is precisely because of your behavior that is so careless that we are regarded as barbarians."

Ivan Asen said coldly, and said to his cousin unceremoniously, his eyes full of contempt. Although the rule of the Byzantine Empire has been ruled for a long time, Bulgaria still retains the old nomadic customs of the past nomads due to its wildness. For example, the way of inheriting the position of the tsar is still the brother-in-law, and the current Boril and Ivan are dukes, but In terms of inheritance rights, as a cousin, Baolier has a higher status than Ivan's. But obviously, Ivan Asen was not convinced, and was also cultivating strength in the dark to compete with him.

"You" was openly ridiculed by Bolier Assen furious, he did not expect the cousin in front of him to dare to be so blatant not to put himself in his eyes. He was about to get angry, but don't suppress the majestic voice of the tsar directly above.

"Enough! When are you going to argue? I asked you to come here to give me advice instead of letting you argue and cause him trouble." The two factions of the two factions of Czaroyan have already been sullen. There was also helplessness in the voice. It seemed that this country seemed to be thriving and extremely powerful, but when it was independent from the Roman Empire, it already had inherent hidden dangers. Slavic and Hellenistic Bulgar aristocrats have been fighting openly and secretly for more than ten years, and there has been an unstoppable trend~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The battle between Baolier and Ivan is the epitome of it. Tsar Kaloyan, who had no children, knew that no matter who he chose from the two, he was bound to offend one side, and a civil turmoil would be impossible to stop.

That’s why Tsar Kaloyan took the initiative to set off this battle-level battle. He wanted to rely on foreign wars to alleviate the internal crisis, and at the same time, he took this opportunity to weaken the power of the domestic aristocracy. But unfortunately, things seem to be counterproductive at the moment. It is the two factions of nobles on the battlefield and their unwillingness to contend with the same enemy. It seems that the Bolgars who accepted the Roman civilization not only learned the Roman system and religion, but also learned the skills of infighting.

However, what Ivan Assen said just now did speak to his heart, and that was that he was indeed not prepared to rush into Thessaloniki to make wedding dresses for the Greeks, but hoped the other way round.

...

And at this moment, outside of the tooth tent

"Woohoo" horn sounded, and the surprised Bulgar rushed to the outside of the camp to check. They were holding weapons to prevent the enemy from coming sneak attack. At this time, I saw a neatly lined army marching towards the southwest of the plain outside Thessaloniki. The light was shining towards the sun and the cold was cold, giving people a sense of oppression from the momentum.

"What is this?"

The vigilant Bulgars looked at this army, whose size and combat effectiveness were not inferior to their own, and quickly wanted to prepare to organize defenses, just in case, but at this time, Czaroyan, who walked out of the tent, did not panic or nervous at all. , Looking at the double-headed eagle flag from a distance, the corner of the man's mouth raised a smile.

"Look, they guys have finally arrived."
