Chapter 91: Tired Teachers' Struggle II
"There is an enemy attack!"
He completely relaxed his vigilance. When the javelins thrown by the Albanians and the arrows shot out of the reed marsh flew into the crowd, the Epiruses who were unknown to the enemy were in chaos. In addition, Bogdani led his mountain people to set fire everywhere, and soon the entire reed marsh quickly turned into a sea of fire, and he acted to swallow the Epirus' barracks.
"It's on fire, it's on fire! Run!"
The shouts of panic aggravated the spread of panic. Before she could put on her wet clothes and armor, the Epirus army was completely paralyzed. Some of the fleeing soldiers were even naked, and drove to the river under the instinctive fear flames, which was exactly what Bogdani wanted.
"Kill - kill these mean and wicked people at the foot of the mountain!"
The strong Albanian man shouted loudly, and he jumped out of the reed marsh like a roaring lion. He held two double-held battle axes in his hand and chopped left and right. Blood suddenly bloomed in the crowd like a gorgeous flower. He really liked the feeling of fighting with heavy weapons in the crowd with his hands. Soon, more than a dozen corpses fell down at Bogdani's feet.
Then the mountain people roared like wild beasts out of the cage and rushed out of the reed marsh and rushed towards their unprepared prey. The heads and limbs of Epirus soldiers were scattered, stalactites, bluestones, stalactites, stalactites, stalactites, and silts and mudsands were slashing at the enemy like four sharp swords. Their tactics were not the storm of ordinary bandits. The clan warriors of the Bluestones and Panyan tribes were as vanguards, while the stalactites and mudsands killed the Epirus people who tried to support or break out on both wings. Such war skills were all attributed to their service to the Epirus nobles, and now the arrogant Epirus people were to feed themselves.
Soon, the red flag raised by the Epirus military camp camp beside the reed marsh was cut down, and this was received by Justinian, who was observing from afar as an offensive signal. Seeing the Albanian vanguard succeeded in the raid, Justinian realized the weakness of the enemy, and no longer hesitated. The long sword pointed to the three thousand Morian new troops, pebble guards and tribal mountain people, all of whom were ambushed in the Asheloos River bay, had their disguised and gathered towards Epirus at the fastest speed, forming a huge and rigorous military formation.
Even Nicholas, who was confused by the raid just now, noticed it. He immediately ordered people to build a high platform and climbed up to see that an army appeared out of thin air on the flat river bay at some time, and at this time it was approaching his own barracks. On the other hand, the forefront's camp was flooded by a sea of fire at some point, and even the battalion flag was cut down.
Nicholas suddenly felt something was wrong and was furious. He heard him roaring and roaring: "Hurry! Take my armor and pass my orders down, and everyone immediately line up to meet the enemy!"
"What should you do then?" The soldiers who were frightened by the sudden change in front of them were at a loss and stood there. Then Nicholas scolded him in a sarcastic manner.
"The useless waste, of course, is to order the entire army to regain the position ahead with all their might. There must be a bridgehead there, and there must be no mistakes!" Although he was caught off guard, Nicholas still kept his mind clear at this time. He was able to be reused not only because he was the illegitimate son of Emperor Mikhail, but also because he did have this ability.
He keenly realized the importance of the camp beside the reed marsh, and Nicholas ordered people to give orders immediately.
Soon, the Epirus army, which had just been in chaos due to the raid, was severely scolded. As the supervisor, Nicholas's personal guards suppressed the two chaotic military camps with the iron-blooded means of killing deserters. They were the two teams closest to the river bay, but they had not been affected by the fire and attacks, but their military commander was obviously scared in advance. Nicholas came in person and replaced the officers who ruled here and ordered the new commander to swear to uphold military discipline. No matter how he faced arrows or flames, he was not allowed to leave the front without authorization and advance or retreat randomly.
"It's just a sneak attack launched by a small group of enemies. I will organize a counterattack immediately. If anyone dares to retreat, he will be killed without mercy!"
After Nicholas said that the commander of the military camp who had just been dismissed fell to the ground in front of the soldiers, and everyone felt cold. The great nobles who were both kind and powerful also ordered people to carry out a box of silver coins in time. Nicholas promised his soldiers:
"Whoever can regain the position of the outpost military camp, the things in this box will belong to him, and I will be rewarded with all the others who have won." Realizing that the enemy was not good this time, Nicholas came up and promised to pay great benefits. Sure enough, under his strict military orders and generous rewards, the originally panicked Epirus army restored order.
Soon, the Epirus people who were organized again from the chaos began to launch a counterattack, and the first person to feel the pressure was naturally the Albanians who launched the raid.
Five companies cut down the enemy in front of them with an axe. The panting Bogdani looked over and found that nearly a thousand heavy infantrymen were approaching them in two wide columns holding shields and spears. The enemy was in an arc-shaped formation, obviously preparing to encircle the Albanian mountain people who were fighting.
The sound of shouting and killing was shaking the earth, and the heavy footsteps of the Epirus infantry formation made the entire river bay tremble. Even the Albanians, who were not as brave as before, felt extremely pressured at this time. They thought everything was going well, but after fighting for a long time, they realized that they had defeated only a small part of the Epirus vanguard, and the enemy could not even be considered injured.
The best choice to put in front of Bogdani at this time should be to give up the position it has occupied. Obviously, the enemy's purpose is to retake it. However, the Albanian mountain people received Justinian's order to nail it tightly like a wedge until the supporters in the rear arrived.
The four tribes of Qingshigang, stalactite, rock and mud sand began to shrink and get closer, and the gap in the number of people between the enemy and us became more and more obvious at this time. The mountain people began to shake their minds without hesitation. If they continue to stay here, it would be equivalent to dying. But at this moment, Bogdani waved the axe in his hand and looked at his compatriots behind him, shouting:
Chapter completed!
