Eagle Flag of Epirus

The Latin was at a loss because of the sudden attack by the Bulgarian army, but Justinian, who was commanding outside the city, also had an ugly face. Although there was no other movement behind him, he was a little relieved, knowing that it was Theodore. Prince Er helped him stabilize the situation, but the 3,000-man Bulgarian army still messed up his layout greatly.

Arslan also noticed this and asked, "Master Justinian, do you want to retreat temporarily, it would be bad if something happens." The battlefield is changing rapidly, even if Justinian is so cautious. People who are careful cannot guarantee that everything is in their hands.

He also hesitated - but if he gave up at this time, his previous efforts would be wasted, and the lives of those who died and soldiers would really become cannon fodder. For the first time, Justinian also showed hesitation and anxiety on his face.

...

At this moment, the Roman soldiers who were attacking the city stopped. They were anxious and didn't know where the enemy came from. The Bulgarian cavalry had no distinction between us and the enemy. The heavy iron hoof directly regarded them as stepping stones, and the wolf's battle flag jumped out. The Bolgar people poured out like a landslide and a tsunami, and the turbulent waves hit the shore. Killing the Latins also caused them serious casualties.

"Charge forward, now that the city is broken, no one can stop us! Take this place, tonight we can drink wine here and ravage the enemy's woman."

Bolier Asen laughed wildly like a devil, without the slightest pity, and an excited heart under his chest was beating, but only the contents of his skull were melted into a paste by the enthusiasm of war.

His previous suggestion was not adopted by his Tsar's uncle. The unhappy Boril could only watch the Greeks take the lead in attacking, and when someone told him the news of the broken city, he finally couldn't hold back and took him with him. The army killed the other person and stopped all the credit.

I saw that the Bulgarian army was so powerful that it seemed that the city of Thessaloniki was already within reach. And Baolier thought so too, thinking that his uncle's hesitation before was completely unnecessary.

However, the more you rushed, the more enemies came up. The situation that never broke through the enemy line was really unexpected. Even a man with a brain and muscle like Bouriel gradually realized that there was something wrong——

The heavy Latin soldiers had been waiting in the city. The seemingly weak defense on the wall was only to confuse the coalition forces, and the street fighting in the city was the last main course. King Boniface and his nephew Dennister had already decided that once the wall was lost, they would rely on the barricade to turn it into a flesh and blood mill to consume the enemy with all their strength. In the end, they could retreat from the sea. At that time, the exhausted enemy would guard the broken wall. Thessaloniki would never be an opponent of reinforcements from Constantinople.

Looking at the banner of the Bulgarian army that came in, the Latins also saw that the opponent was a big man, and rushed forward. It is just that the powerful Bolgars are not people who are waiting to be killed, and they will never be captured with their hands, so both sides are unable to attack. Resolve, but if this continues, this Bulgarian army that hastily attacked may only be wiped out.

If this continues, Archduke Bouriel will undoubtedly die! The Bulgarian aristocrats who watched all this also made an affirmation and felt sorry for the reckless Grand Duke's behavior. If he died, then the morale of the coalition army would undoubtedly be a heavy blow.

But there was only one person who sneered in his heart to observe what was happening at this moment, and that was Ivan Assen, another nephew of Czaroyan.

My stupid cousin didn't disappoint me at all. He was really so obedient and clung to this trap. Fortunately, he was also the one who would compete with me for the position of the future tsar. It's ridiculous.

Grand Duke Ivan sneered inwardly, but his face remained unchanged, and he seemed worried about the situation. Obviously, the trick to tell the reckless Bolier Assen the false news was his handwriting. Ivan Assen, who knew his cousin’s character well, knew that he would be in the middle. For the sake of overall consideration, Czaroyan would definitely not be able to rescue the lone army. Deep into Bouriel, and if he is dead, then the position of the czar in the future will be his own right by the way.

Ivan Assen, who had planned all of this in his heart, had already made plans. This time he went to Thessaloniki, he would disagree with his uncle, and if Boril died in battle, the Bulgarian army could just give up. This time it attacked.

...

...

...

However, Justinian, who commanded the offensive, knew just as well. Although Arslan was already proposing to withdraw troops, he eventually rejected this proposal. The young man frowned slightly. Because of the whole incident, the secret weapon prepared for the Latins could not be kept and had to be used in advance.

Immediately he watched Arslan cut the railroad in an unquestionable and rebellious tone: "Arslan, the plan is changed now and use that thing to deal with the Latins. The fat baulgar who just went in can't die in there. ."

"but--"

"No, but, if that guy dies, our previous efforts will be wasted. I will definitely not let some people get what they want." Sharp eyes shot behind him, and Justinian exuded a terrible breath.

He had already guessed the probabilities-if he hadn't crossed here, according to history, Borier was the one who supported him as his successor after the assassination of Emperor Kaloyan, and another strong competitor, Ivan Assen, was forced to flee to Ross The nations ~www.wuxiahere.com~ And now if the fat man dies in Thessaloniki, the biggest beneficiary is not the Latin but the Ivan Assen, who will become the undisputed heir to the czar.

The mediocre Bollier is nothing more. For this huge threat that may stifle the empire's national fortune, Justinian would never allow him to succeed. According to the original historical trajectory, after the annexation of Thessaloniki, Theodore was only a short distance away from Constantinople, but was severely injured by the back stabbing of Tsar Ivan Assen. The life span of the Latin Empire was extended by forty years, and the revival of Rome lost precious time and was never recovered.

How could Justinian make a second mistake?

"Kill it!"

The command without the slightest emotion was sent to the entire army, and once the commander made a decision, it would mean countless people shed blood and sacrifice, regardless of enemy or ourselves!

The plan has been changed. From the previous temptation to the place, it is now changed to prevent the elimination of the Bulgarian army. An elite army is sent to the battlefield, and they are the new army of Moria trained by Justinian, and there are thousands of them. People, but their appearance is like a thunderstorm, unstoppable, and soon pierced the enemy's heart like a sharp knife.
