Chapter 61 Under the War
Under the leadership of Justinian, the new army of Moria bravely took the lead and resisted the siege of the rebels who had an absolute advantage in both numbers and equipment with their tenacious will.
I saw the Turks shooting arrows all over the sky, and all those who dared to fight fell to the ground with no trace of death or injury. The rebels tried to use their cavalry to force each other, but all failed, and they turned around in vain.
It was not until the attack of the Prolonian nobles that they barely gained the initiative in the battle. The Prolonian cavalry was created as a result of the disguised compromise of the military districts after the decline of the empire, and soon replaced the Byzantine Praetorian Guards and Armors.
The status of peasant soldiers and heavy cavalry, due to their self-armed weapons, was once quite good in combat effectiveness. However, after
Decades of military armaments have been derelict, and they have long been seriously decayed. This can be seen in the performance of the Turks against the Latins on the battlefield. In other words, the army led by Justinian was mostly light-armed soldiers and rarely heavily armed.
The wearer, however, the Plonian nobles who tried to tear apart Justinian's formation fell into a quagmire and fought fiercely before shouting that something was wrong.
The most important thing in the army is strict discipline, and the second is the courage to fight in public. This is what Justinian ordered from the beginning when he formed the new army of Moria, and it was not until this time that this army turned into a mourning army because of the hatred of the country and the family.
Got this.
Just like the soldiers with roots under their feet holding spears to prevent the enemy from colliding with the cavalry, no one retreated. Instead of being defeated by the deterrence of the charge, they became more and more courageous as they fought. Not only did they hold back Plonya, but they also fought for the friendly forces.
Counter-flanking bought time.
"Quickly retreat! Quickly retreat!"
Realizing that something was wrong, the Plonian cavalry tried to retreat immediately, but it was already too late. Crazy and bloodthirsty soldiers were coming from all directions. At the same time, the Turkic cavalry, who had finally made final preparations, also appeared in the chaos.
Behind the Plonian nobles.
"No! There is an ambush!" The frightened nobles completely lost their previous momentum and just wanted to evacuate quickly. However, the new Moria army in front of them was like candy that they couldn't get rid of.
At this moment, the Turkic cavalry led by Arslan also launched a fatal charge.
"Gentlemen, since you are already facing a cliff of ten thousand feet if you take a step back, instead of fleeing and being slaughtered by others, why not fight bravely to the death and achieve unparalleled achievements. Turkic warriors, charge! Let the enemy moan like wild dogs under your swords!
"
Amidst Arslan's roar, the brave hussars charged at the enemy with hammers and scimitars, instantly defeating the Plonian cavalry who had lost their fighting spirit.
Seeing the huge enemy army on the opposite side, the nobles of Moria couldn't help but trembled in their hearts and looked ashen. The heavy cavalry that collapsed in an instant was overwhelmed by Moria's new army. The battle was fierce and blood flowed like rivers.
It made everyone who saw it tremble with fear, including Leosgros, who was commanding the army to attack.
At the same time, the chanting of soldiers came from Justinian's army.
"Although the future is long and the situation is difficult, we must try our best to end this endless evil. May God give us the strength to face the enemy without fear, and let peace come to our homeland watered by our blood!"
A warrior deceives his enemy by being as quiet as a virgin and as active as thunder. Hundreds of years later, Machiavelli wrote this in his book "The Prince".
However, this does not mean that it was not until then that people understood that the essence of victory in war is to deceive one's enemy. In fact, Machiavelli was just a summary of previous experience. The way to win has never been to rely solely on brute force.
It can be obtained. The sudden changes directly made the direction of the war suddenly become more subtle. Justinian's men became more courageous as they fought, but the nobles of Moria felt worried.
Until the sound of the horn came from the distance, everyone around Justinian couldn't help but show a solemn look, because this indicated that the Latins had finally taken action. One can imagine what this meant, even if they had defeated them
Justinian also understood that this was a force that could determine the direction of the balance of power.
On the high ground, a line of black shadows lined up, and I saw this extremely elite army gathered in all directions, rubbing shoulders with each other, their armor shining brightly under the early morning sun, waiting for the last order to come and fight.
"Prepare to attack - don't mess up, get in formation!" Looking at all this, Justinian did not panic but yelled for his new army to get into position.
He had already expected that the Latins would take action sooner or later, so even if he gained an advantage for a while, Justinian was always wary of these guys.
Since they have made such a choice, I have done my best, Baptiste.
Now that I think about it, Justinian reached an agreement with Baptiste and spared the remaining forces in Achaia, which led to the current situation. I don’t know if it was a wrong decision. But now the only choice is to fight with
A battle. And looking to the northeast, at this moment, Justin
Nicho still held on to the last bit of luck - the army commanded by Salius was the only variable as a sharp knife he planted inside the enemy army, provided that the cunning man Leos Grace was really unprepared
.But Justinian had no idea about this.
Seeing the appearance of the Latin allies, Leos Grace also showed an expression of ecstasy, completely gone from the expression of shock and embarrassment just now.
Is it finally here?!
With a cruel smile on his face, Leos Grace murmured to himself: "Justinian, everything will end for you today."
I saw the Latins launching a charge that made the earth tremble. Under their lances, even the walls of Babylon would be vulnerable. Not to mention the already fragile Morian noble alliance, their
The Plonian heavy cavalry had already been seriously injured.
But just when everyone thought that Justinian's end was coming, and Justinian, who was commanding the new army of Moria, felt heavy and could only hope for a miracle - an unexpected scene happened!
…
The Latin cavalry, who thought they were rushing towards Justinian's army formation, suddenly changed the direction of their attack, and at this moment turned into a violent storm and attacked the completely defenseless Morian nobles.
"What?!"
"What on earth is going on?"
"Run quickly, are Latins crazy?"
The frightened rebels had just breathed a sigh of relief. They never expected that they would be attacked by their allies. They were unprepared and allowed the fully armed Latin knights to easily rush into the battle formation and kill them wantonly.
