Bodies were scattered on the ground, and the Bulgarian army that poured out was almost completely wiped out this time, and all this was because they believed what their commander, Baron Lovevii, said.

In addition to the dead in battle, there were countless armors and equipment on the ground, as well as hundreds of good horses from the Bulgarian cavalry. Such a big harvest could be achieved after a fierce battle. The Byzantine soldiers who had achieved a great victory all had smiles on their faces.

However, the eyes of the Bulgars who became prisoners shone with unwillingness, and those who died in the battle were even more so. They thought they could easily destroy the enemy, just like they followed Emperor Kaloyan to break the Latin Empire army. Once again, they achieved the great reputation of the Roman butchers. However, they were famous for their cavalry, but they lost. They lost completely. Under the outflanking attack of the Byzantine heavy-armored knights, they were unable to stop the counterattack. In the end, they either had to surrender or be forced to fight. Die in battle.

It was only when they died that they realized that this was no longer the Greek army that was supposed to be vulnerable. They had completed a rebirth in the hands of Justinian, and were far from comparable to the imperial army of the past, which was weakly equipped, so Naturally, the arrogant and careless Bulgarian army suffered a big loss.

But now the one who really sees everything clearly is not the war dead but the still-living Lovevii himself. At this moment, he and his only remaining subordinates have been surrounded by Justinian's army and have become helpless. He was imprisoned, and when he put down his weapons, he discovered that the total number of Greek troops attacking him was probably only a little over a thousand. Instead of the number he originally thought, he originally guessed that Justinian would bring at least More than five thousand people came.

I thought that this time the Byzantine army came in force and at least set up an ambush net on all sides outside. But who would have imagined that instead, I was surrounded by the enemy with inferior strength, and finally ended up with the entire army annihilated. Looking at this, This scene, Lovevii felt extremely ironic and made him feel ashamed. The mountain pass here was originally related to the initiative of the entire battlefield, and their original mission was to guard it at any time to delay the pace of the Southern Army's attack and command it by Grand Duke Ivan. The army cut off the opponent's retreat, but now it has become a joke and was easily defeated by a group of Greeks. This is simply a great shame!

It's okay that he lost so completely, but the key thing is that he was so aggrieved...

During this battle, Justinian had also asked Arslan and the others to count the number of casualties.

"How's it going? What's the damage?"

"Less than a hundred casualties, and very few died in battle..." Arslan reported with some excitement. In fact, when he was sitting in the rear, he was already in agitated mood, and he had been worried about the personal visit of Justinian as the commander-in-chief. When he was in battle, he saw the Bulgarian cavalry charging, and his heart jumped into his throat for a while. But in the end, everything was really turned around by the strange weapon that Justinian named "Hand Cannon" just as Justinian said. He controlled the entire battle, completely defeated the enemy, and achieved a great victory that he had never imagined at the beginning.

"There are actually so many casualties... Salius is your subordinate again. I have already said before that when fighting under my command, bravery will never come first, but rather act according to one's ability." Justinian, who was still a little dissatisfied, frowned slightly.

At this time, the vicious yelling of Baron Lovewey suddenly came from not far away.

"Justinian, you treacherous Greek, you actually used such despicable means to trick me, I want to fight! If you are a real warrior, you will have an upright duel with me." In the prison car.

In the middle, Lovewei roared angrily and glared at Justinian. He was unwilling to look at Justinian bitterly. If it weren't for himself

He carelessly allowed the siege equipment to be captured, and he made a mistake in judgment. At that time, he was stuck in the camp. With Justinian's small number of people, there was no way he could do anything to him. However, the other party used a trick to set an ambush for him.

In the end, he ended up in such a miserable situation. The almost desperate Bulgar man wanted to pounce on Justinian.

But Justinian ignored this at all, turning a deaf ear to Lovevii's insults no matter how unpleasant they were. He just waved his hand and asked his soldiers to take him away.

Seeing the prison cart being pushed away, Arslan and Salius were a little aggrieved. "Sir Justinian, why are you so polite to that kind of person? Since he has become a prisoner, why not give him some color?"

look."

But Justinian shook his head and said disdainfully: "You clown, don't care what he does, not to mention that leaving that guy alive has other uses."

Seeing that Justinian was not taking the offense lightly, there seemed to be another reason for doing so. Arslan and Salius looked at each other and could not say anything more, "Yes, Justin

Sir Ni, but there is one more thing, that is Count Simon who we rescued, he hopes to meet you."

After wiping out the Bulgarian army under Lovevii, when he was cleaning the battlefield, he discovered Count Simon, who had long been forgotten in the camp. The fire had already spread there. If he hadn't arrived in time, he would have only

I was afraid that he had already given up his life.

But Count Simon himself had no complaints about this. After being rescued, he took the initiative to ask for a meeting with Justinian.

"Meet me?" This time his main purpose was just to seize this mountain pass and smoothly go to Turnovo where Archduke Boril Assen was. As for rescuing Count Simon, he just did it casually, but Justinian didn't.

Thinking that the other party would take the initiative to see him made him a little surprised.

"Does he insist on that?"

"He is indeed so insistent. It seems that he has something to tell you personally. It is about the Venetians." Arslan replied.

When this information fell into Justinian's ears, the expression on the young man's face suddenly changed slightly, but he was still calm. After hesitating for a moment, Justinian finally made a decision.

"Okay, then bring him to see me quickly."

Justinian nodded and said, if he guessed correctly this time, the Venetian's purpose of coming to Bulgaria this time should be the same as his own, and if Count Simon can provide him with useful information, then naturally
Chapter completed!
