Chapter 1253: Deep Memory

The eastern offensive was hit hard, and the Slavs directly moved the big stone that was pressing on their shoulders, and although the western side was still facing a lot of pressure, the Slavs were already able to spare their efforts to concentrate more troops to face the western offensive. In this case, Gao Pet will not be stupid enough to continue to clean up, once a hard battle is launched, if it is lost by half a catty, he has already lost. With Yang Zaixing's foreshadowing, Gao Zhong is absolutely unwilling to spend too many troops in the Rogda hills. Yerusha's stomach was swollen by the Mongolian popularity, and he couldn't even eat, so he sat alone in a depression and blew a cool breeze. Of course, Gao Chong understood Yerusha's feelings, after all, the person who proposed to attack separately was he, Yerusha, and now that the Mongols were causing trouble, Yerusha also felt that his face was gloomy.

Walking to the depression, Gao Zhong sat beside Yerusha, "Wild donkey, don't be depressed, although the Mongols have bad things, they may not all be bad." The Haigui people must have taken the opportunity to further control the Mongol military power, and although the Slavs won the battle, it did not have much impact on our plans on the whole, and it was only delayed for two days. Anyway, our goal is not really to clash with the Slavs head-on, and if the troops and horses retreat from the east, we can completely retreat and abandon the places that have been cleared before. ”

Gao Zhong is brave and has a rough personality, but there are also shrewd times, but Yerusha didn't react for a while, rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Gao Changke, aren't you confused, our side is in a tight formation, there are no loopholes, even if the Slavs take the initiative to attack, it's no problem, why take the initiative to retreat, isn't this asking for trouble?" ”

"Hey, you're just in a hurry, so you can't wait for Gao to finish speaking?" Gao Pet couldn't stand Yerusha's bear temper, this guy is usually a goblin, why is he slow to react now, "Wild donkey, have you forgotten the purpose of our attack on the Rogda hills?" At the beginning, His Royal Highness and the princess made it very clear that our task was to use the Rogda Hills to eliminate as many Slavic soldiers as possible. I still have a headache before and don't know how to expand the results of the battle, but the incident of the Mongols in the east has given us a wake-up call, if we take the initiative to retreat on the grounds that the east is flawed and the overall pressure is doubled, what will happen? ”

Yelu Shake is a master tactician, and he understood it with a roll of his eyes, patted Gao Chong's shoulder and smiled evilly, "Okay, Gao Changke, you can come up with such an idea." ”

Jerusha was still very optimistic about this idea, and as long as his side retreated, it was estimated that the Slavs would be eager to regain the lost territory. At that time, if it is cleared again, the Slavs will be out of luck. Since he dared to withdraw from this place, Jerusha was confident that he would retake it, and in terms of tactical literacy, the Slavs would never be able to do it. In order to cooperate with the strategy in the west, Yerusha passed on his thoughts to Haidongzhu, and on the fifth day, the Mongol soldiers and horses in the eastern part of the Rogda hills stood still, as if they were frightened by the Slavs. As soon as the morning dawned, Tchaidov waited for the Mongols' revenge, but the time had passed, and there was still no movement in the east, and the scouts kept sending back news, "Lord Tchaidov, the Easterners have tightened their formation, and there is no sign of taking the initiative to attack, our people have been in ambush for a long time, and they have not caught half of them until now." ”

At this moment, Tchaidov had basically determined that the enemy army in the east had obviously lost its previous sharpness, but all the troops and horses did not move, which really made Tchaidov a little puzzled. If the people in the east do not exert pressure, are they not afraid that the Slavic warriors will concentrate their forces and trouble the people in the east in the west? The east and west sides complement each other, so that when the pressure on one side disappears, the other side becomes more difficult. He had fought with the Orientals a lot of times, and Zadoff didn't think the Oriental generals were stupid, "What about the West?" Let the people over there release all the forward observers, I want to know what the Orientals are moving, and if the Orientals from the west come over, immediately concentrate their forces and give me a top. ”

After being pressed and beaten for so many days, Chaudov held a sullen breath in his heart, he was afraid of those oriental elites before, it was because of the enemy on his belly and back, and it was inevitable that he would be powerless, but now he has freed his hands, and if he doesn't teach the orientals a lesson, they will really treat the Slavic warriors as sheep without threat. Near noon, Tchaidov finally got the news from the west, and when he heard that the eastern troops and horses were retreating one after another, he finally understood why the enemy troops in the east did not take the initiative to attack, and it had been discussed long ago to avoid a head-on conflict with the Slavic warriors. The Orientals in the west are very smart, and it seems that yesterday's loss has made the Orientals a little afraid. As for the retreating vacant valley defense areas, Zaidov had no reason not to, and immediately ordered his soldiers to take back those lost places.

Tchaidov was also afraid of being counterattacked by others, so he kept a careful eye on the changes in the hills, until evening, when there was no movement on the east and west sides, and the eastern soldiers seemed to be exhausted, and there was no sign of repressing. The two sides were at peace, and Tchaidov was also much more relaxed, and after several days of fatigue and fatigue, after making arrangements for several commanders and the courtiers, Tchaidov hid in a sheltered place and covered himself with something and went to sleep.

At the beginning of the moon, a faint light sprinkled on the Rogda hills, undulating and undulating, layer by layer, the hills were like a sleeping woman, and the silence was a little excessive. After the night, the temperature drops a lot, and the humidity around them makes many Slavs hug each other to keep warm. Although there were some tents on the hilly valley road, they were not available to ordinary Slavic soldiers. Pavi was an ordinary Slavic boy whose hometown was hit by a plague in which his parents and two older sisters died, and he fled to the principality of Kiev, where he encountered Viache's conscription. In order to have a stutter and continue to live, the young Pavey became a soldier. It's been a few days since I came to the Rogda hills, but because I was with Zaidof, I never met with the Oriental soldiers. Tonight, Pavey was assigned the night duty, and Pavey behaved very seriously, but Cardolo, who was with him, was very depressed and kept complaining, "Lord Tchaidorf is really doing this too much, this kind of ghost place, the Orientals will only find us trouble if their brains are burned out.... Hmph, it's not me saying that if the Orientals dare to come, they will directly screw their heads off. ”

"Boom..... Shasha...."Pavey was stunned, he pushed Cardolo, who was making a big speech, with a scared look on his face, "Don't say it, look there... Yes, that's it, do you see if there's anybody? ”

"Pavey, don't be kidding, even if there are people, it is estimated that some guy went out to pee..... At this point, Cadolo's voice was gone, and he held his neck and made a penetrating gurgling sound, and the wolf's teeth and arrows were nailed into Cadolo's forehead, and they entered the flesh for ten points, obviously not living. Pavi was frightened, and gradually there were more and more figures, and Pavi finally understood what was going on, and roared as he ran with the wooden gun, "The Orientals have killed... The Orientals have come here...."

Pavi had barely taken two steps before he was pierced by a feathered arrow, and the sneak attack was no longer successful, and Jerusha immediately gave up hiding his whereabouts and launched the most fierce attack on the place where Zadov was. Tchaidorf came out of the tent, and when he knew what was going on, he cursed in secret. Orientals are all crazy, and even those who dare to launch a purge at night will be purged. It's incredible, but the Orientals just called. The situation was in crisis, and Tchaidov had no choice but to leave people behind to withstand the attack of the Easterners. Jerusha's command spread out the formation, and the fight was fast and fierce, and it was impossible to see too clearly at night, anyway, the Slavs had one thought, that is, the Orientals had killed them, and if they wanted to live, they should retreat quickly. There were more and more casualties, and there was fighting everywhere, and Chaydov slapped his forehead hard, his face full of depression. It is no wonder that the Orientals in the west retreated so kindly, and their daring was premeditated. Now that the war is raging and there are fights everywhere, it is estimated that the Slavic warriors leaning to the west are less lucky.

Everything was as Tchaidov expected, these days the Ding army had already figured out the terrain of the three miles to the west, and when the night sneak attack, these played a role, a large number of soldiers divided into 100 and 1,000 teams, quietly marched forward, from familiar and hidden places to cut the Slavs vertically and horizontally, causing many Slavs to be divided and surrounded, and the number of casualties skyrocketed. Tchaidov finally couldn't help it, spat on it, and ordered, "Withdraw, withdraw immediately if you are not dragged, don't be bitten by the passive Orientals." ”

When the order was given, the frightened Slavs began to flee in a hurry, and after leaving behind more than 7,000 corpses, they finally reached safety. At first, Tchaidov didn't know about the damage, but when he heard that more than 7,000 people had been lost, Tchaidov was distressed and wanted to vomit blood. These Orientals are too immoral, and they confuse people with reality and reality. I finally won a game before, but now I vomited it all, and most importantly, my morale was tossed enough.

The next morning, the Mongol servant army in the east cooperated to clear the center, and in the blink of an eye, the Slavs, who were still arrogant before, immediately fell into trouble again. Tchaidov didn't have any good ideas, so he could only endure it for the time being and slowly consume time. Tchaidov did not show his head, and Gao Zhong and the others had no temper.

At the beginning of April of the fifth year of Taikang, the small town of Luowan, forty miles west of Surisk. The small town of Luowan does not have many people, and most of the people in the town make a living from hunting. The town was the only way to reach Surisk, and at night, a huge army was approaching the town of Luowan. Since there was no other road nearby, the sneak attack plan went smoothly and had to cross the town. The town is not big, but the building is compact, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and someone finally found out that something was wrong, and then the alarm sounded, and in desperation, Yang Zaixing could only order, "Exterminate the town, and deploy Surisk as soon as possible in an hour, we have delayed a lot of time." ”

The order was issued, and the wolf-like cavalry of the ancient town checked door by door, killing people when they saw them, and soon this stormy town became Yang Zaixing's hiding place. Judging from the information obtained so far, the defense of Suriysk is not too strict, but even if you want to make a large-scale sneak attack, it is unlikely, so many cavalry rushed over, it is estimated that fools know to put down the city gate in advance.

"General Yang, there are two gates in Surisk, east and west, and most of the guards usually stand at the head of the city. The Slavs had increased their troops in Surisk before, and now we don't know too much about the soldiers in the city, "Several commanders are also at a loss, and a sneak attack on Surisk must be hit with one blow, there is only one chance, in case something goes wrong, it will be a little difficult to take Surisk again." The Slavs are not stupid, they can't strike a blow, and then the Slavs will send troops to defend Suriysk. Due to the awakening of Chinese medicine in Surisk, no one dared to rashly attack without knowing the specific situation. The attack must be as steady as a mountain, so that it can ensure that there are no mistakes as much as possible.

How many Slavic garrisons there are in the city, Yang Zaixing doesn't want to figure out much, in his opinion, it is imperative to attack Surisk, even if the other party is heavily guarded, then it has to be hard-headed, otherwise the pressure on the soldiers and horses in the Rogda hills will be increasing. After hesitating for a moment, he thought of an idea, "When I just attacked, was there a lot of cattle and sheep in the town, and I ordered my brothers to gather the cattle and sheep together, and don't kill them, it would have been of great use." ”

After Yang Zaixing made some arrangements one after another, a unique sneak attack plan came into being. On this day, the Suriysk soldiers patiently guarded the city, but they were startled when they saw a group of shadows floating in the distance, and when they got closer, they found that it was a herd of cattle and sheep, which seemed to be out of control, running around and screaming, and a Slavic man in the herd waved his whip and shouted with a blue face. Seeing this, the guards were happy, "Hey, old man, why don't we mention catching cattle and sheep?" ”

"That's good, these brutes are honest on weekdays, but today I don't know what's going on, and they're not obedient" The Slav lady thanked him, but where could those Slavic soldiers be so kind, and the reason why they helped was to take the opportunity to get some cattle and sheep to eat. A centurion led the men to open the city gate and went to catch the cattle with a smile, but as soon as the gate opened, the so-called Slavic herdsman smiled strangely. I don't know what happened, those cattle and sheep wanted to take the wrong medicine, rushed to the open city gate, those sheep were just that, those cattle were indeed full of strength, extraordinary momentum, at this time it was too late to close the city gate, so a few old cattle hit the head, not only reopened the city gate, but also killed and disabled several unlucky Slavic soldiers nearby.

Soon, the people of Surisk discovered a serious problem, that is, the easterners came over, and they were still all cavalry.

Although the soldiers in the city of Suriysk have been staying around, they do not think that Suriysk will be attacked at all, there are tens of thousands of horses stationed in the hills of Rogda, and the Easterners will attack Suriysk on a long detour after being kicked in the head by a donkey. However, the Orientals really came, and they returned the damn cavalry, shining silver armor, and the horses' hooves rumbled, not to mention the city gates, and even the people on the most central street of Suriysk felt the ground tremble. The scalpers opened the way, the cavalry followed, and at this time the city gate was in chaos, and it was very difficult to close the city gate. What's more, Suriysk is not a big city, there is no so-called moat, so I watched the silver-armored cavalry rush to the face. The cavalry knife swept mercilessly, and the cold flashed, and several Slavic soldiers blocking the door were either killed or wounded. The gates were taken, and the cavalry rushed in. At this time, it was close to noon, there were many pedestrians on the street, and as soon as the cavalry rushed in, the city was in chaos, and the city lord's palace wanted to transfer troops, but because of the complicated chaos was very delayed, many Slavic soldiers and horses had not yet arrived at the predetermined place, but they were rushed by the people in the city. The cavalry of the ancient town would not care about the lives of the Slavs, and Yang Zaixing would not exchange the lives of the cavalry for the lives of the Slavic soldiers, so he ordered to mess up the situation to the greatest extent.

Later, many Slavic soldiers couldn't stand it anymore, and Igo was an ordinary Slavic soldier who came from the mountains of the Caucasus and whose family had been hunters for generations. A few months ago, he listened to the call of the Grand Duke of Viache to make a fortune in the battle against the Orientals and make his family a nobleman. For winning military merits, Igo is still very confident, he followed his father to hunt in the forest since he was a child, and now he can do arrows without missing a shot, coupled with natural divine power, he has a good body, and no one in more than a dozen tribes in the Caucasus can beat him. When he was left in Suriysk, Igo was still very angry, staying in the rear, unable to fight, and talking about military exploits. I was eating today, and I heard the commotion outside, and soon someone said that the Orientals had come in, and the others were scared to death, but Igo was excited, he felt that this was a good opportunity to make a contribution, and it was an opportunity given by God to the Warren family. I wanted to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but I ran out in a hurry, and I saw that the street was chaotic into a pot of porridge, all headless flies scurrying, and I didn't see the shadow of the Orientals, but I was mixed with the chaotic flow of people and lost my direction.

Igo is so angry, these idiots, can't they just find a yard to hide, what are they running around on the street, they can't stand being squeezed, he held a steel knife and roared, "Don't squeeze it, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite." ”

Igo was full of anger and loud voice, but he was quickly drowned in the crowd, and now everyone's lives mattered, who cared about anything else. The two old women lowered their heads and pounced on them, pushing Igo aside hard, "What's the matter with you, stupid, the Orientals have killed them, they are very powerful, you don't want to live, don't stop us from running for our lives." ”

Woo, Igo's face turned red with anger, what is this, these bastards are still not Slavs, as soon as the Orientals come, just thinking about running for their lives is simply losing Kipros's centuries-old fine tradition. Along with Igo was a squad of more than a dozen people, and even the squad leader Huro was knocked to the ground. Hu Luo was also very afraid, he had participated in the battle of the Eastern Crusade, several battles of the Eastern Crusade, and was beaten to shame by the Orientals, especially in the jungle of Qiu Suming, if he was not born with Scuds, it is estimated that he would have accompanied most of the people to stay in the area of Qiu Suming as a coolie to build a city. Looking at the flow of people fleeing for his life, Hu Luo wanted to flee with him, but as soon as he got up from the ground, a voice next to him was so startled that he almost didn't lie on the ground again.

"Captain, let's rush over, as long as we kill a few Orientals, it will be a credit" A fiery look in his eyes, full of a strong desire for military merit. In fact, Hu Luo's team, except for himself, is the same recruit as Iago. The so-called newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, these people all look arrogant, Hu Luona is a bitter, these things that don't know the height of the sky and the earth, I really think that the Oriental people are soft mud. Especially this Igo, he has been very arrogant since he arrived in the team, so Hu Luo pointed at Igo and said angrily, "You are a recruit, how do you know the power of the Orientals, do you know the Germanic Knights of the Holy Cross, what a powerful cavalry regiment, it was brutally crippled by the Oriental Cavalry, and you have a few lives that are enough for the Orientals to cut down." Listen to Lao Tzu's orders, let's find a place to hide, save our lives in vain, now that the Orientals have entered the city, things are irreversible, but don't do that thankless stupid thing. ”

As soon as Hu Luo's words came out, the soldiers led by Igo were a little unhappy, and Igo was the most angry, and finally seized the opportunity to build a meritorious career, but let him hide, isn't this a mess? Igo craned his neck, tilted his head and glared, "Captain, what do you mean by this, how can you say such a thing, are you worthy of the Grand Duke and Kipros by doing this?" ”

Asked by Igo like this, Hu Luo's eyes widened, "You are too young, what do you know, if you lose your life, you are worthy of the Grand Duke, what should your family do?" What honor, what a grand duke, I have been in the army for many years, I can see it better than you, listen to my advice, the family can live well, it is better than anything else. ”

Hu Luo's words can be regarded as good words, and he was moved. He was also young, and at that time he dreamed of making a career, so he followed the Grand Duke of Viache and dreamed of building the great Kipoise Empire. He hadn't thought much about it before, but since he had returned from the crusade, he had changed his mind. When the great plague broke out, he went back to his hometown, and there were more than 100 people in a territory who accompanied the Grand Duke to the east, but only a dozen returned home. In my hometown, I saw what kind of life those comrades and family members lived. The men are dead, their wives and children are living the lowest life, without enough food and clothing, and the Grand Duke's promise has been fulfilled? Hu Luo asked, but he got nothing from beginning to end, and the Grand Duke did not comfort the deceased's family at all. At that moment, Hu Luo thought of himself, if he also died, what would happen to the children in the family? At this moment, I realized that the so-called dreams, the so-called honors, those are all bullshit, what Kipros, what imperial glory, these are not as important as family at all.

During his time in his hometown, Hu Luo thought a lot of things, why did he make contributions, wasn't it to make his family get a better life? Let them have more bread, a thick quilt on the bed, a few more winter clothes in the cupboard, and a few more acres of fertile land. However, when going out with the army does not bring the slightest benefit and cannot ensure the life of the family, what is the point of going on the expedition? Of course, these things cannot be told to others, and they may not understand them, so how can people who have not experienced it know the true meaning of war?

The war was in pursuit of a better life, but under the rule of Tourov, Komi and other Orientals, those Slavs lived even better than usual. It turns out that living under the rule of the Orientals is not necessarily a bad thing. If it weren't for the long distance, Huro would have taken his family to Turov a long time ago, and as long as his family had a better life, he would rather give up the sword soldiers.

"You... Captain, you'd better not stop us, you don't go, we'll go by ourselves" Igo couldn't understand Huro's thoughts at all, in his opinion, Huro was simply a coward, and it was a shame to be a soldier under him. Most of the team members were young people with strong blood, and when they heard Igo say this, everyone also looked at Hu Luo with disdain. With a sigh, Hu Luo could only wave his hand helplessly, he didn't dare to stop it, continue to stop it, I'm afraid that the first person Igo and these people will kill is him Hu Luo. These young people have long been red-eyed by military exploits. Coward? When he fought bravely and galloped the Yenisei River, these people did not know how big the Tyusuming jungle was. Hu Luo consciously got out of the way, and Igo glanced at it with disdain, and said in his heart that Hu Luo was still a good acquaintance, otherwise he would be the first to kill him.

However, the chaos in the city has not weakened, Igo led the people forward, after a long time, he was a little anxious, he grabbed a Slavic farmer, and stabbed directly with a steel knife, the Slavic farmer did not react, and directly splashed blood on the spot. The people around the warm blood sprayed were all stunned, no one expected that Igo would kill his own people so ruthlessly, Igo didn't have any guilt on his face, he took advantage of the crowd to be quiet, and shouted loudly, "Hurry up and get out of the way, otherwise whoever stands in the way, Lao Tzu will kill whoever is in the way." ”

Igo's ruthless tactics had a remarkable effect, and even the dozen or so team members behind him were shocked. The chaotic crowd was finally a lot calmer, and wherever Igo and the others went, the crowd automatically gave way to a road, so that they finally rushed out smoothly, and it didn't take long for Igo to run into several chasing cavalry. In the face of these silver-armored cavalry, Igo did not show weakness, raised his steel sword and pounced. Several silver-armored cavalrymen didn't expect Igoslav to rush directly over, so they swung their swords to meet them, and Igo was really powerful, and he jumped up hard, and smashed a cavalryman down with a steel knife. Igo was very proud of the blow, and the people behind him were encouraged and did the same, but these people were not so lucky, and the cavalry swords slashed, and a few unlucky fellows lay on the ground and wailed.

The cavalry soldiers also saw that Igo was not easy to deal with, and did not take the initiative to step forward again, rescued their companions, and took the initiative to retreat. Now Igo is even more arrogant, these Eastern cavalry are not very good, that Hu Luo is actually afraid of being like that. A crisp whistle sounded, and in the blink of an eye, there was the sound of trampling horses' hooves on the other side of the long street, and a large number of silver-armored cavalry rushed over, these cavalry were neatly arranged, and a chain between the war horses and the war horses was connected, and it was the first time Igo had seen such a cavalry.

The chain horse crushed the past mercilessly, and Igo tried to cut the chain with great strength, but he cut it on the chain, only to burst out a string of sparks, and Igo was shocked, and quickly jumped up to avoid the chain, but just jumped up, the cold light swept from the left and right, brushed and brushed, and the sharp cavalry knife cut several wounds in a chest. Under the pain, one fell to the ground, his head had just been raised, and the other iron rope was thrown over, and Igo only felt a cold neck, and a sharp pain spread throughout his body, and he could no longer make a sound. At this moment, Igo deeply regretted it, he finally understood why Hu Luo advised everyone not to come, it turned out that the Oriental people were really powerful.

It was too late to regret it, and Igo fell into the street with a dozen young Slavic soldiers under his command. The same scene was played out everywhere, with a small chain of horses dealing a devastating blow to Suriysk, and the death of the chain horses frightened countless Slavic soldiers and civilians. After half a day of strangulation, in the evening, Suriysk finally regained its calm, but cleaning the battlefield became a big problem.

Surisk fell into his hands, and Yang Zaixing did not sit idle, but asked people to spread the information and notify the garrison of the Rogda Hills as quickly as possible.

On the fifth day of the fourth month of the fifth year of Taikang, the day after the fall of Surisk, the news reached the Rogda hills. Hai Dongzhu looked at the military report from the direction of Surisk, the sadness of many days finally dissipated, changed his cold image, and laughed happily, "Hehe, this Yang Zaixing, sure enough, is a soldier like a god, and a cavalry like a knife." Surisk actually let him fight without dragging his feet. Come and go to the west quickly, inform General Gao and General Yelu that there is something important to discuss. ”

Gao Zhong and Yelusha soon came to Haidongzhu's military camp, and when they heard that Surisk had taken it, they were equally happy. Surisk has fallen into the palm of his hand, and the Slavic soldiers and horses of the Rogda hills are in the bag. Jerusha put down the military report and smiled smugly, "Now we don't have to do anything, just wait patiently, when the Slavs themselves collapse, let's take action again." ”

Gao Zhong rolled his eyes, he felt that Jerusha was really insidious sometimes, and in doing so, he didn't leave the Slavs at all cheap. On the seventh day of April, the news of Suriysk finally reached the ears of the Slavic soldiers in the Logda hills. At first, the Slavs were skeptical, but the Easterners' soldiers and horses did not move, and they had to believe it.

Tchaidov's whole person was blinded, and even if he had great ability at this time, he didn't know what to do. Breakthrough? What are you kidding, not to mention that Surysk was occupied, the back road was cut off, as long as it got out of the hilly area, wasn't it given to the Eastern cavalry to kill?

I never thought that I would encounter this situation, and I have encountered difficult difficulties before, and that was when I was in the Temyer Plateau. I escaped that time, but this time, I'm afraid I may not have such good luck. The Orientals are really powerful, pinch off Surisk, this is to swallow all the Slavic soldiers and horses in the Rogda area in one gulp.

With the fall of Suriysk, the city of Krinthler to the east was attacked by cavalry, and Suriysk and Krinthler fell one after the other, meaning that the entire Northern Dvina River was no longer under Kipros' control. The cavalry of the ancient town arranged several cordons along the Northern Dvina River, which directly cut off the hope of the Slavs to move south. The truth is so cruel that Tchaidorf never dreamed that the Rogda Hills would face a desperate situation so soon. Now there are not many options left for Zaidov, there are only two ways to go, either fight or surrender, if you want to retreat, it is absolutely impossible, with the strength in your hands, if you want to recapture Surisk or Kolinsler in the hands of the Easterners, there is no hope, if you want to force the North Dvina, it is tantamount to a dead end, from the Rogda hills to the banks of the North Dvina, is a vast plain, where is the world of the Eastern cavalry.

Surrender? After all, Tchaidov could not make such a decision, how could he surrender, as a nobleman of Turov and a minister trusted by Grand Duke Vyache? Tens of thousands of Slavs are young and strong, once they surrender to the Orientals, they will become a group of Slavic servant armies in the blink of an eye, which is simply helping the Orientals to increase their strength, even if they can't become servant armies, tens of thousands of laborers alone can create countless values. Zadov could not surrender, neither for the honor of the nobility nor for the sake of the future Istrian heights, and could not give tens of thousands of young men to the Easterners. But if it doesn't fall, what will happen to the result, I'm afraid that the Rogda Hills will be full of corpses. Overnight, Tchaidov seemed to be twenty years old, the white hair on his sideburns became more and more obvious, and the black eye sockets showed that he was tired, and he had not slept all night, just to make a decision. In the end, he chose to continue fighting, perhaps cruelly and ruthlessly, but so what? You're going to die, and after you die, do you care what others say? Since you want to fight, you have to be ruthless, even if you die, you have to pull a few Orientals on your back. Despair can be devastating at times, but equally, sometimes the most powerful power erupts in a desperate situation.

Several legionary consuls gathered around Tchaidov, one bad news after another, these Slavic men had already been tortured, Tchaidov's eyes were cold, and he clenched the broadsword in his hand tightly, "I don't need to tell you about the specific situation, the Easterners have captured Surisk and Kolinsler, and the entire Northern Dvina River is no longer under our control, so don't have the idea of retreating." Now, there is only one way in front of us, that is, to fight, we now have tens of thousands of combat power in our hands, and the Orientals have to pay a certain price if they want to swallow us. ”

The reaction of several consuls and judicial officers was a little faint, to this point, everyone's mentality has also changed dramatically, but not everyone is brave and fearless and not afraid of death, including those eastern nobles, they are not Viache's cronies, naturally they are not willing to die in the Rogda hills. Of course, Tchaidov knew what his subordinates were thinking, he stared at everyone, the corners of his mouth turned upward, "Of course, I won't force everyone, if anyone wants to surrender to the Orientals, bring it up as soon as possible, otherwise after today, if you dare to disturb the morale of the army, then don't blame me for being unkind." Well, here's a chance for you. ”

At this moment, the people around hesitated, and everyone exchanged words and discussions, and finally three people stood up, "Your Excellency, now that the battle situation is hopeless, we don't want our sons to die innocently, and please allow us to take people away." ”

"Okay, you can go" Tchaidov waved his hand, his tone was very refreshing, the three of them were very happy, and turned around to leave, but as soon as they walked a few feet, more than a dozen black-clothed guards rushed up, and without saying a word, they stabbed several high-ranking nobles to death. From beginning to end, Zadov's expression remained unchanged, maintaining a strange smile, seeing that the three nobles died, and the rest of the officers were all secretly lucky, fortunately they did not leave in a hurry, otherwise they would have accompanied the three fellows to see God. Tchaidov retracted his smile, thrust his broadsword into the ground, and snorted a little suspiciously, "Is there anyone else who wants to surrender?" These three people are the end. I tell you, no one wants to leave the Rogda Hills alive, and you don't have any dreams, don't you know about going to the Colosseum of Toika? ”

There are not many legends about the Upper Toika Gladiatorial Arena, where the Orientals turned the skinning soldiers into wolves, and the little blood demon Kayev was the worst, being eaten to death by several rats. In the Grand Duchy of Kiev, many Slavic people called the Easterners messengers of the devil, and they were ten times more terrible than the skinners. Zadov's words worked, and the living Slavic nobles had to think about the fate of surrender, of course, not all, at least some remained skeptical. Zadov also did not expect all the Slavic nobles to be obedient, as long as the majority of the people were in control, it was enough, and some made up their minds to surrender, then there was no way.

"From now on, all the soldiers and horses will be concentrated within a radius of ten miles, and the outer positions will be given to the Orientals, and we will fight to the death with the Orientals in the ten-mile hinterland" Zadov drew his broadsword, his eyes sharp, and none of the consuls and legal officers spoke out against it.

Tchaidov was determined to fight hard, and the Slavic soldiers complied, and on the morning of the tenth day of April, the Slavic soldiers began to shrink into the hilly hinterland, giving way to the outer valleys. At the eastern command post, Yang Zaixing also rushed from Surisk to the front line in the eastern part of the hills, Gao Chong, Yelusha, and Haidongzhu all arrived in the column, Yang Zaixing first expressed his opinion, "Now that the Northern Dvina River basin has been controlled by us, the Slavs have been cut off, and they have shrunk their forces, it seems that they are going to concentrate their forces and fight us to the death." Yang suggested letting go of the southern part of the hills, attacking from the east, west and north, and adopting a step-by-step approach, not giving the Slavs a chance to fight back. ”

"Well, Gao agrees with General Yang, most of the southern part of the hills is a gentle area, and even if the Slavs escape, they can't escape from the palms of the cavalry. Judging from the previous encounters, our first task is to seize a dozen commanding heights in the northern center, as long as we have these commanding heights, we can have an overview of the overall situation and better grasp the arrangement of Slavic troops and horses. ”

What Yang Zaixing and Gao Chong said was already very perfect, and Yelusha and Hai Dongzhu added a little, and the general attack plan was decided. On the eleventh day of April, the golden sun sprinkled on the green hills, the rolling high slopes, and the waves that wanted to continue to rush, 10,000 elite soldiers led by Gao Pet went straight to the center of the north, and the goal of Gao Pet's headquarters was very clear, they didn't care whether there were Slavic ambushes on both sides of the valley, and kept attacking forward, aiming at the highest point of the Rogda hills, the No. 8 height. Heights No. 8 are so high that by taking advantage of the clairvoyant, one-sixth of the northeastern part of the hill will be visible at a glance, and the deployment of the Slavs can no longer be hidden.

This attack was completely different, the soldiers in front raised their shields, the attack was mainly spearmen and crossbowmen, and a large number of arrows were prepared in order to deal with the Rogda hills. Ren Phenol, as the commander, personally acted as the vanguard, and because the Slavs automatically gave up the outer positions, it was very smooth at first, but when they approached the one-mile range of Heights 8, the Slavs' resistance became fierce. The Slavs also understood the importance of Heights 8, so they concentrated many forces around it. After Ren Phenol broke through the first round of resistance, a large number of Slavs suddenly appeared on the gentle slopes on both sides of the valley road, they were armed with javelins, and Ula Ullah's threw them down, and many soldiers had no time to dodge and were stabbed squarely. Ren Pheno's face changed greatly, and he waved his knife and roared, "The shield bearers cover on both sides, everyone retreats, send a signal, and nail these bitches." ”
