In the early morning, the gates of Lalisha opened, and one after another some Bulgarian rebel soldiers came out, and no one stopped them or reported them, and they spontaneously walked out of the city.

Alexios stood on the hillside, just quietly watching the scene, the Bulgarians had lost their fighting spirit, and now their fighting strength was not as good as that of the peasants, and they all dragged their weapons one by one and fell to their knees on the plains on the outskirts.

"Put away their weapons." Theodosile watched this scene, he could easily subdue a large number of enemy troops without fighting, and he admired the emperor's strategy.

Soon the Bulgarians on the plain gathered into a large group, but they all threw their weapons aside under the guidance of the Roman soldiers, and now the rebels were crouching on the ground with their heads on their hands, and Alexios was pleased with the effect of the song last night.

"Your Majesty, we didn't see the Assen brothers come out and surrender!" Bertak was sent by the emperor to count the number of troops surrendered, and after waiting for a long time when no one left the city again, he came back to report.

"It doesn't matter, how many troops do they have now, five thousand or ten thousand?" The Emperor smiled contemptuously, and it seemed that the gang was determined to resist to the end.

"The Bulgarians are out of town!" Betak's sharp eyes saw the rebels, who were still in good shape, with bright armor and spears, and the knights rode out with a steady and sophisticated ride on their horses.

Among the Bulgarian troops opposite, Theodor was fully clothed, although his face was sickly pale, but a pair of eagle eyes were as bright as lightning and flint and collided with the emperor's eyes.

"This man is a hero, but unfortunately he can't be used by me, since he still refuses to surrender when he arrives in this field, give him a glorious death!"

Alexios raised his right fist and swung it down with great force, and the guards charged across their horses, and the bravery of the knights set off a whirlwind, and their old commander Khayyam galloped first with his saber brandished.

"Victory!" Theodor also stabbed straight with his spear, the golden lion flag fluttered behind him, and the soldiers rushed to follow him, even if the soldiers were outnumbered, but they were united to kill him.

The two streams of iron collided on the plain, and Khayyam's long knife slashed through the necks of the enemy soldiers, easily killing a dozen people, and the emperor's own army behind him was equally brave, spears and swords slashed, and the Bulgarians fell from their horses.

"Fight! The Bulgarians charged after me! Theodore burst into tears, and he didn't look away from his men after they fell from their horses, he knew that he could do nothing about it, and that the worst thing he could do today was to die.

"Give me the flag!" When Ivan saw his brother's eyes, he knew that he had the will to die, and he was the brother of a mother's sibling, and he wanted to follow him until the last moment for his brother.

Ivan held high the battle flag, followed closely behind his brother, two horses walked together, behind the knights who could penetrate the Roman army were only more than 200 people, all of them were bleeding, the spears in their hands were broken, and they could only draw their swords to accompany them.

"Hahahahaha! I didn't think that in the end, our brothers would die here together, and everyone would follow me to attack the Roman emperor's main array! ”

Theodore, despite his will to die, was unwilling to let the Romans underestimate Bulgaria, and he decided to launch a surprise attack on the Roman emperor's own camp to let the Romans see the true colors of the Bulgarians.

Ivan immediately understood, beckoned the knights to follow, and the long-lost pleasure came to his heart, kill! The Romans who killed were all on their heads, wahahahahahaha!

"Crossbowman step forward! Preparation! Theodosius saw that the Bulgarian knights were attacking here, and directly brought in crossbowmen to deal with it, and the cavalry was buried after a few waves of arrows.

"I can't imagine that the Bulgarians have reached such a predicament, and there are such warriors! Please Your Majesty be cautious in dealing with post-war issues! ”

Betak also sighed again and again, he was determined to serve Rome all his life, and he didn't have much affection for these barbarians, but he couldn't help but be moved when he saw such a scene today.

Emperor Alexios stood silently on the hillside, watching as the legionnaires rained down on the sky like locusts.

Theodore charged, an arrow piercing through his chest, his armor torn and his flesh twisted, blood gushing out, and he fell from his horse and fell to the ground.

Ivan, holding the battle flag, was half of his cheeks red by the blood pouring out of his brother's body, and the war horse galloped past Theodor, watching his brother lying on the ground and not moving.

"Ahh

Ivan cried and continued to advance, almost rushing in front of the emperor, but the Roman pikemen quickly approached, and several spear heads passed through his body, Ivan's body was lifted up to the sky, and his godless eyes looked at the white clouds emptyly.

The golden lion banner was thrown into the air, and it fell to the ground crookedly, and there was a remnant of a Bulgarian soldier, whose horse was shot by a crossbow arrow and fell to the ground, but the fallen body pressed his legs underneath, and it seemed that it was broken.

But the knight was still able to straighten up half of his body, pick up the banner and raise it again, and the Roman soldiers who were only a dozen paces away from him were all shocked by him, and they all pushed back two steps in shock.

Blood poured out of the knight's mouth, his breastplate was stained red, and for a moment the heavens and the earth seemed to be silent, and Theodosius motioned to the soldiers to stop attacking, and it would be an insult to the warriors to kill him like this.

"Your Majesty, the Bulgarians have been surrounded, and now even the commander has been killed in battle, is it not persuaded to surrender again!"

Alexios looked at his legionnaire, he had shed enough blood today, and he didn't want the soldiers to die needlessly, if he could use this to persuade the remaining Bulgarians to surrender, he might as well try.

"Well, you go and try." The emperor sighed imperceptibly, he was still soft-hearted, and he still couldn't learn the iron-blooded and ruthless methods of the ancient emperors!

When Theodosius came to the last knight, he was already exhausted, and he held the golden lion flag firmly and did not let go.

Theodosius had to order his soldiers to carry away with the flags, but the Bulgarian soldiers were outnumbered and outnumbered, and after a short battle, they were surrounded and killed.

By the time Theodosius arrived, the Bulgarian army had already suffered numerous casualties, and the living were blindly wielding their swords, and the Roman soldiers had been ordered to disperse far away, and they were able to breathe back to back.

"Bulgarians, your bravery is enough to comfort the deceased, and no one can say that you are cowards, but your commander has also died in battle, and your relatives in your homeland are looking forward to your return, why do you continue to kill?"

When the Roman soldiers retreated and the Golden Lion was delivered to the Bulgarians, the warriors could no longer hold back their tear ducts, and after months of fierce war with the Romans, their dreams of establishing a Second Kingdom were finally shattered?
