Eagle Flag of Epirus
Vol 6 Chapter 90: The decisive battle of Thessaloniki (Part 1)
"Woo-woo -"
The sound of the horn with a magnificent and extraordinary momentum echoed in the wilderness north of Thessaloniki at this time, but the sound of the horn did not come from the Latin army, so that it made the Latins who are still preparing for battle. Also confused by the offensive signal coming in advance.
But at this moment, the puzzled people suddenly discovered that the Roman army, which was relatively inferior in strength, had actually launched an offensive at this time. It turned out that this time the horn was blown by the cowardly Greeks in the eyes of the Latins.
However, this scene seemed extremely ridiculous in the eyes of most Frankish nobles. In their opinion, the Greek army who voluntarily gave up the defense was tantamount to seeking a dead end. Even Boniface, who was in command, looked at the incoming Roman soldiers from a distance and smiled contemptuously. At the beginning, he led the Crusaders to defeat the 80,000 Roman army in front of Constantinople. You Xin, he couldn't help wondering what gave these mobs the courage to take the initiative to attack.
While most people were laughing, there was only one person who could not show a trace of smile at the moment, and that was the only calm Marquis Dennister. In the face of the final battle, Justinian’s reaction was far beyond his expectations. If the Greek army stays in the camp and does not come out, it will actually let Dennister breathe a sigh of relief. He will also completely wipe out the enemies under the city with a thorough grasp of the casualties. However, under this situation, the opponent on the surface has abandoned favorable fortifications, but in exchange for the initiative to advance and retreat calmly in combat.
"Soldiers, follow me to attack, and completely defeat the enemy in front of you! Use the enemy's blood to write about the great victory we are about to achieve!" Boniface, who drew his sword, was about to speak as usual to encourage morale. Then when he was about to lead the army to directly defeat the Greek army in front of him, he was suddenly stopped by his nephew Dennister.
"Uncle, I beg you not to rush to prepare for the attack for the time being. Perhaps it would be better to stay on the spot and wait until the enemy's offensive power is insufficient before giving them a final blow." The dignified Marquis Dennister looked at Boniface solemnly To say that he chose a more secure method, after all, the advantage was transferred to their side, but his thought made Boniface finally a little impatient.
Just listen to Boniface sternly said: "Dennest, you are my nephew, whether it is Thessaloniki or before in Monfila, I have always had the best expectations of you. I am very happy what you do. Everything has its own opinions, but this does not mean that you have to look forward to everything you do. Everything on the battlefield changes rapidly. Once you miss it, you will never be able to catch it again. Even if the Greeks have hidden tricks, they have come to take the initiative. The attack is destined to reveal their most deadly flaw-the two wings formed by the depleted frontier army cannot withstand the trampling of our army's iron cavalry. And I have sent two Viscount Rothkert and Mars to lead their knights to the two. Side. Now is the best time for us to defeat these Greeks in one fell swoop."
As the former commander-in-chief of the Crusaders and the lord of Monfila, Boniface has experienced a lot of battles after all. However, the pride cultivated by chivalry and the inherent contempt for the Greeks made Boniface unable to accept that he hesitated and hesitated while occupying an absolute advantage. This battle is not only for the elimination of these Greeks, but also for the local nobles of Macedonia who are facing Qin Muchu, and for those who are far away in Constantinople, so Boniface must have a fight. A clean and beautiful victory, not the conservative tactics advocated by the Marquis of Dennister.
Seeing Boniface's insistence and at the same time seemed to have a complete plan, Dennister had no choice but to give up, but he was still struggling and uneasy.
This was naturally seen by Boniface, and he shook his head helplessly, "I know you are still a little bit self-blaming for what happened the previous two days, but this is not the reason you are hesitant and sleepy now. You It must be clear that if you always change the combat plan because of the enemy's actions, you will not be able to achieve victory. The initiative on the battlefield is always more important than others."
"Yes, uncle." Faced with Boniface's reprimand, the speechless young Marquis could only accept it.
After taking a look at his nephew, Boniface eased his tone and said, "Forget it, the command of this offense is the right to leave it to me. If there is no steel-like determination, I can't lead myself. The soldiers won~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Dear Dennister, you are responsible for commanding the army to suppress the battle. I think this battle should not be your turn, but at least you can give you a period of time to calm yourself down. Up."
"I... I understand." With a bitter mouth, Dennis, who could not refute anything, nodded, accepted King Boniface's disposal, bowed deeply and took his troops immediately. The Chinese army went to the rear camp. Although a little unwilling, but at least he, as the back troop, can guarantee that he can react immediately in the event of an accident.
Watching his nephew leave, Boniface sighed at this moment, but immediately gave the order to attack——
"attack!"
The Latins who were eager to try had also completed the array, and they had been prepared for a long time, waiting for this moment to come.
Facing the offensive launched by the Roman army with an unstoppable momentum, Boniface’s army came in a platoon. First of all, the most elite Italian mercenaries under Boniface’s hand were formed in the middle. These brave adventurers inherited The Lombards are brave, but they do not like to accept employment in their own city-state, but are more willing to make a career in a foreign country.
They formed a tight shield wall, the long spears in their hands were slowly advancing, and at the same time there were elite archers in the rear with intensive firepower shooting at the Roman soldiers who came in first. But this was actually unable to interrupt the opposite charge, and Boniface, who was commanding the battle, also looked gloomy. He clearly understood that the aura of defeating the enemy on the battlefield was very important, so he never hesitated to put his talents into the **** battle. However, the opposite clearly knew this too. Looking at the unstoppable momentum of the visitors, it was clear that the one who rushed to the forefront must be the best in the Greek army.
