"Sure enough, they really didn't disappoint me at all!" Seeing that Selmium really lined up as he wished, a relaxed smile finally appeared on Justinian's face, as if he was victorious at this moment.

Already waving to him.

"Let Salius prepare to take action. It's time to give those guys some surprises." Justinian said to Arslan next to him, and Arslan, who knew it, picked up his bow and arrow and shot out the loud arrow that he had been waiting for for a long time.

, indicating that Salius and his heavy armored cavalry were already hiding, waiting for Justinian's order.

A sharp whistling sound tore through the sky. However, such a signal did not arouse the alertness of the Bulgar people among the cliffs. They only thought it was the cry of an eagle.

…

The soldiers in the rear struggled to push the huge trebuchet, which Baron Lovewey ordered them to carry. Although the Bulgars complained that it was so cumbersome, they had to admit that this thing was really a powerful siege weapon.

No. But many people think it is really unnecessary to use it to deal with the stragglers of the Confederate Army.

But just as they were marching halfway, the violent sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the side hillside. The nervous officer hurriedly raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound. Could it be that it was an enemy ambush, but where is this rugged place?

There can be an army that uses war horses. Where does the sound of horse hooves come from?

The confused officer took a closer look, and the scenery on the hillside shocked the commander. They had indeed encountered an ambush, but in the battles he knew, there had never been such a crazy surprise attack.

If someone did this deliberately, he could only say that person was a complete lunatic.

It was a cavalry team armed to the teeth. They had obviously been ambushing on the hillside on the side of the road where the Bulgarian army must pass. They just appeared and launched the attack at this moment. Even though the steepness of the hillside had slowed down, looking at the cavalry

When the horse rushed down the astonishing slope, both the Bulgarian officers and soldiers were stunned.

The commander of this cavalry was none other than Salius who had received the order. His men were all elite cavalry wearing heavy armor. They were all selected by Archduke Anastasius. Even if they were

In such terrain, they drove their horses as smoothly as they could on the ground. At this moment, their targets were undoubtedly the infantry without cavalry protection and these siege equipment.

The swooping cavalry looked as if they were falling off a cliff in the eyes of outsiders. The astonishing impact combined with the momentum of the rolling iron hooves made the Bulgarians take a long time to react. At this time, the enemy's lance charge had already begun.

It's just a stone's throw away from me.

"Archers, shoot the arrows!"

The Bulgarian nobles quickly shouted and the archers concentrated their firepower to block the attack. However, the Byzantine heavy-armored cavalry threw the light javelins stuck in their waists at the Bulgar crowd who had not yet completed their assembly. The javelins were seen as if

There was a heavy rain, and their marksmanship was extremely superb.

Most of the people who were thrown had blood splattering from their throats or chests. This kind of light javelin itself is not so lethal, but you must know that the inertia of the moment it is thrown on the horse is amazing, not to mention Bulgar.

Some of the human soldiers did not even have a piece of leather armor, and countless people were killed and wounded in an instant.

The two waves of short javelins thrown by the Byzantines were enough to buy the final time. Before the Bulgar crossbowmen had time to aim, the Byzantine heavy-armored riders forming a wedge formation tore apart the Bulgar army.

Fragile formation.

They rushed down the almost vertical terrain regardless of their own safety. Even if a war horse stumbled and fell during the march, the others continued to roar without fear. This kind of determination made even the fierce Bulgars tremble.

"It's so crazy, they are just a bunch of lunatics!"

The commander in charge of the infantry almost groaned that when he was marching, he had always been careful to prevent possible surprise attacks, but the cliff here was so steep that it would be troublesome for the infantry to climb up. I really don’t know what these people are doing.

How did you get up there with the war horses?

I saw that the cavalry team in human and horse gear was like a dangerous sharp knife, and the Bulgar warriors at the head and tail queues had no time to rush over to support them. They watched helplessly as the cavalry troops on the opposite side cleanly cut through the defense line composed of infantry.

, the archers and short spears could not stop the indestructible charge of the lance. Instantly

In the blink of an eye, countless people were harvested and trampled like fallen wheat by the cavalry rushing down the mountain in front of them. At this moment, the Byzantine heavy-armored knights did not even need to wave their weapons anymore. They only needed to let their armored horses rush away and adjust their spears at will.

The angle can easily tear and shatter any flesh and blood body within sight.

Such a cruel scene also completely shattered the morale of the Bulgars. Countless soldiers finally couldn't stand the fear and threw down their weapons and ran away. Some even rolled down the hillside and were pricked by thorns all over their bodies just to save their lives. And like this

The change was because everything was too unexpected for the Bulgarian soldiers. They thought they were the defeated soldiers chasing the Palatonium, but who expected to encounter an interception by the Byzantine heavy cavalry.

Drag the Pope out and behead him. Although the Pope is only the nominal supreme leader, his beheading will seriously affect morale.

"Don't retreat! Hold on, hold on!" Looking at his defeated men, the Bulgarian nobleman who commanded the rear army was also anxious. If the retreat was cut off, then all of them would be in dire straits.

However, the army was defeated like a mountain, and the situation was no longer something he could control alone. The fleeing soldiers could not be restrained. At this time, the sound of horse hooves suddenly approached the ears of the Bulgarian nobles, and the dangerous

The breath also fell from the sky at this moment.

What's going on?!

He felt a chill all over his body, and when the Bulgarian nobleman, who was still trying to reverse the defeat, reacted, he realized that his body had been pierced directly by a lance from behind.

The speed of the gun was brought to its extreme under the rapid charge. The Bulgar nobles paralyzed without even feeling much pain, and their spines had already been stabbed.

The person who carried out this perfect beheading operation was none other than the cavalry captain Salius himself. He provoked the Bulgar noble with a lance and killed him on the spot. The Roman general let out a long roar at this moment, and soon it was as heavy as an iron stream.
