Eagle Flag of Epirus
Vol 7 Chapter 57: no way no money
When the steel storm fired by the crossbowmen enveloped the charge of the Roman cavalry, the outcome was announced. Without the protection of armor, even the brave cavalry is just a living target.
The sadness of the centaur and the unwilling roar of the cavalry, countless people fell off their horses with arrows, and even if there are still cavalry who rushed out of the arrow rain with their bravery and superb riding skills, what awaits them is a dense array of hedgehogs composed of long spears. After all, the Byzantine cavalry was still one step short of tearing apart the enemy's line of defense and completing this beheading, but even then they chose to accept their defeat and meet death.
And watching the Greek cavalry who had raided him was wiped out, Alexander smiled triumphantly. It turned out to be just a bluffing sneak attack. Such a small group of cavalry used a flag as a guise to scare themselves. It was a idiot! Eliminating this last threat, Alexander was sure that the Greeks had nowhere to do anything. The rest is to eliminate all the last Greek legions on the opposite side of Moriah, so that the entire Peloponnese will belong to him.
The triumphant Latin king no longer had any worries, and sent his own king's guards to the battlefield, preparing to defeat the main Roman army with all his strength. However, this man had no idea that he had stepped into the trap Justinian had prepared for him at this moment. In the woods on the side of the hillside, Justinian was watching the scene that had just happened indifferently. Unsurprisingly, the death squad sent out was wiped out. Although the risky beheading tactics failed, it was precisely because of this that the Latins completely lost their vigilance.
Despite the loss of a group of cavalry, the true essence-the Anastasius Grand Duke's Guard is still in Justinian's hands. They are ready to take a rest and regain their strength after the time spent in exchange for the blood of their companions.
And now, all Justinian had to do was wait-waiting for the last signal from the other side.
...
When the morale of the Latin soldiers who had recovered their composure regained their morale, they saw the Latin army gathered into a huge formation, and the battle roar of the soldiers pressed the Greek army against the counterattack. The Moria noble army, who was the first to kill, was suddenly counterattacked by the opponent, completely caught off guard, and immediately fled behind him. If it weren't for the strict formation of the new Mystras army, I'm afraid that the Latins who catch up will want it. Killing.
Is it possible that Lord Justinian failed? Seeing that the Latins who were still flustered just now recovered and instead made a more violent counterattack, Neusky couldn't help feeling a little panicked at this time.
I saw that the fierce Latins flocked to the Roman army like a tide after the arrival of the new force to help the battle, "Just like this, rushed over and defeated these Greeks." The Latin aristocrats headed yelled, they firmly believe that they will definitely be in this war. There is no doubt that the Greeks in front of them are just lambs to be slaughtered. But the new army of Mystras at this time turned into a brass wall and an iron wall to stubbornly block the attack of Latins.
These intrepid peasants and soldiers depended on each other, clenching the spears in their hands tightly despite the enemy's fierce attack and charge. Although they hadn't been on the battlefield for a long time, Justinian gave them land and granted them honor, so that these brave soldiers all bravely killed the enemy.
Seeing the war stalemate, Alexander was also puzzled for a while, when did the Greeks become so tenacious. Obviously the last hope of the other party had been shattered by himself, but the Greeks he expected were defeated like a mountain, but did not appear.
Just as he was impatient and annoyed, suddenly a panicked voice came from Alexander's ears——
"Your... Your Majesty, look there--"
Under the guidance of his attendants, Alexander followed his reputation, but saw an incredible scene. He didn't believe his eyes. He wiped his eyes. The other Latin aristocrats around were also stunned, because on their flanks, The position originally defended by the Achaia horde’s army was vacant at this time—but behind that clearing, a red battle flag in the woods suddenly entered the sight of the Latins, and then The next Byzantine array led by that battle flag came out of the inconspicuous woods one after another.
Alexander's eyes widened, as if he had never seen such a horrible scene, because he saw that the Greek cavalry that should have been wiped out just now appeared in front of him again. And this time, the lineup of this cavalry is even stronger. And from a distance, he saw a Greek nobleman surrounded by gorgeous banners. There was no doubt that it was none other than Justinian, the little fox of Moriah.
At this moment, the Roman cavalry, who had finished their energy reserves, were eager to try. At the order of Salius, the Roman cavalry opened their bows and arrows, and violently shot out a burst of deadly arrows. The Latin soldiers were caught off guard by the sudden attack on the flanks. In an instant, the infantry who had no time to take up the shield to defend was shot through, causing death and injury.
Almost at the same time as the arrows were shot, the Roman heavy cavalry charged towards the unprepared Latin position. The horsemen raised their shields and lances and looked forward. Even though there was a high mountain in front of them, they were determined to take it. Pierce through. The horses galloped from down the slope, and the smoke covered the sun~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Horseshoes were thundering. The Roman cavalry did not choose a wall charge this time, but instead drove out towards the empty flanks of the Latins in several ways. Initiated an outflank attack from the back.
The Roman cavalry is unparalleled. Since the classical era, the heavy cavalry of the Empire has been equal to the Persians, and the prestige of the armored paladins during the Macedonian dynasty is even more known. Even after the Komunin dynasty, the empire was in decline and it was difficult to support powerful cavalry, but at this moment the heavy armored cavalry under Justinian's command is undoubtedly the purest bone and blood.
I saw Justinian taking the lead, taking the lead, shouting at the Latin army with the sword in his hand.
"Follow the direction of my sword, attack with all my strength, avenge the perfidious Latins, humiliate our dead compatriots, and dedicate your heart to the empire!" Justinian, who personally drove Malaysia to fight, encouraged everyone, and The heavy-armored cavalry with high morale rolled forward. At this moment, the heavy horseshoe hit the ground, and the panicked Latins only felt that the earth was trembling. In just an instant, when the Roman heavy cavalry rushed into the battlefield of the Latins, the formerly high morale of the coalition forces suddenly collapsed, and there was no resistance. And the fear dissipated like a plague, and the already exhausted Latins were in chaos. The soldiers rushing to flee in a hurry completely ignored the lives and lives of others. The soldiers who dispersed in a rush completely broke the formation and morale of the Latin coalition army.
