Chapter 1254: There is no direction to flee

More than a dozen Slavic nobles knelt on the ground and bowed, speaking half-baked Chinese, which must have been taught by Gao Pet. Zhao Yougong glared at Gao Zhong with a smile and a smile, and waved his hand, "Get up, where are you all from?" ”

"Honorable Regent, all the criminals are from Turov, and I recently heard that the Eastern Heavenly Soldiers distributed seeds to Turov, and I am grateful for the regent's benevolence, so I decided to surrender" Vayar spoke half-truths and half-falsehoods, and no one could hear the problem. Zhao Yougong smiled slightly, and didn't care, "Yes, you speak Chinese very well." Don't worry, as long as you do what you do, this king will never hurt your life. You're smart, what's your name? ”

"Count Turovkaintz, sinner, Vayar? Holly "Vayar did not dare to hide anything, to the point that it was useless to keep any secrets, the whole of Turov was under the control of the Orientals, so what was the point of concealing it? If the Orientals really want to do something to Kainz, they would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until today?

"Earl? Well, you are a very good person, don't go back to Turov yet, the situation in the Istrian Highlands still needs you to tell the king about it" Zhao Yougong has already seen that these Slavic nobles are mainly Vayar, it can be seen that this Vayar is different, and he is also a Count of Turov, so he should know the situation of Viache very well, and what is even more rare is that he can also speak Chinese. Vaillar didn't expect this situation, although he surrendered, it was really difficult to turn his head and fight the Istrian Heights. But he also knew in his heart that as long as he refused, the regent of the East would immediately attack him, and there was a faint threat in his words just now. Refuse? Not only did he die, but no one else wanted to return to Turov alive.

"Yes, the regent commanded" Wayar could only do this, Zhao Yougong waved his hand, and Gao Zhong sent the rest of the people away, as for sending the captives back to Turov, he had his own Mongolian servant army to help. After resting for a while, Xiao Zhiyun began to urge, "General Gao, you should hurry up and end the battle in Rogda, don't forget, our goal is the Istrian Heights, and only the Grand Duchy of Kiev can really take Kipros." ”

As for Zhao Yougong, Xiao Zhiyun and others, they didn't care much about the situation in Rogda, called Vayar in, and said with a threatening smile, "Count Vayar, can you briefly introduce the situation of the Principality of Kiev?" ”

"Back to the princess, the principality of Kiev now has more than 60,000 young and strong people, and after several months of preparation, there are more than 40,000 soldiers in battle, of which 10,000 are cavalry, and the hammer cavalry regiment is still under the command of Lovydnov. Although there are other noble lords who have joined, their strength is hundreds and tens, which is negligible. If you want to attack Kyiv, you must deal with the Iron Hammer Cavalry Regiment on the Istrian Heights, as long as this cavalry is still alive, the war will not go too well" For Vayar, the Iron Hammer Cavalry Regiment is tantamount to a powerful and invincible existence, at least in Kipros, the Iron Hammer Cavalry Regiment is like a sharp steel knife across the eighteen principalities. In the Istrian heights, the Hammer Cavalry Regiment was even more at home.

Zhao Yougong was a little surprised, he and Xiao Zhiyun glanced at each other, and pursed their mouths at the same time, but they didn't expect that after Viache experienced a great defeat and a great plague, he could still grit his teeth and support the cavalry regiment of more than 10,000 people. The Istorian highlands are vast and flat, a haven for cavalry, and Viache's vision is not bad at all. However, Zhao Yougong was not too worried, a cavalry that rushed to the army, there must be many problems in cooperation and infantry and cavalry joint operations, if there was a large-scale confrontation head-on, the ancient town cavalry would have a natural advantage, not to mention that now their own troops have an absolute advantage. If you really hit the Istrian heights, you don't mind killing the majesty of the Hammer Cavalry Regiment again.

"There is a general understanding of the troops, but what about the deployment of troops? Thinking about it for a few months, Viache won't just think about training, right? "Having fought with Viache many times, Zhao Yougong knows Viache's style very well, this Slav has a clear mind.

Vayar thought about it carefully, and didn't dare to hide anything, "In addition to the Teginets manor in Kiev, the Grand Duke also concentrated his manpower to fortify the two cities of Tver and Koster, and built a simple city wall on the Gorod Heights. The three are horns of each other, with the Gorod Heights as the core, and the defense is very solid. The terrain of the Gorod Heights is difficult to hostile to large-scale encounters, so it is difficult to exploit the superiority of troops. ”

"Tsk, this Viache is really a bit of a brain" Zhao Yougong reacted a little lightly, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't pay attention to it, it seems that if you want to take the Istrian Heights, you have to plan carefully.

Just after noon, a new round of fighting had begun on the Rogda hills, and because he knew that Zhao Yougong was watching the battle from behind, the three armies under Gao Chong's command were in high spirits, and they launched a fierce attack directly on the hinterland of the hills along the defensive loopholes left by the Turov nobles. This time, the high-favored generals spread out the soldiers and horses very openly, which put huge psychological pressure on the Slavs. At this time, from the northern highlands, the middle of the Rogda hills was full of people, and the rain of arrows was progressing in waves, eating away at the Slavs' frontal positions little by little.

At the same time, Hai Dongzhu also commanded the Mongol servant army to launch the final onslaught, throwing tens of thousands of people at once, densely covering the entire hinterland of the Rogda hills. The attack was like a tide, and the momentum of the mountains and seas overwhelmed the Slavs.

Claire took the clairing mirror and observed the battle situation in the Rogda Hills intently, at first it was just curiosity, but after looking at it for a while, her heart trembled uncontrollably. She had never seen such a magnificent war scene, the battle of tens of thousands of people was like a dark cloud covering the earth, and in Scotland, the battle of a few thousand people was already considered a big war.

Orientals, are they really just for revenge? With such a large force, I am afraid that it may not stop in Kipros.

The final battle was also a battle without suspense, and the Slavic soldiers at this time had already collapsed and had no morale at all. The departure of the Turov nobles became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Those Turov nobles are the real cronies of Grand Duke Vyache, even if they have surrendered, is there any hope for the Grand Duke? The Slavic soldiers only knew how to retreat, and they desperately fled back, but the Rogda hills were so big, they retreated for dozens of miles, and there was no way back after all. Further south, out of the Rogda hills, into the plains, when you get there, isn't it even worse?

A large number of Slavs began to surrender, they were in despair, and if they were not afraid of being crucified by the rain of arrows from the Easterners, they would have fallen to their knees and begged for mercy.

The battle of the Rogda hills, which lasted for half a month, finally came to an end, and when defeat came, Tchaidov chose to die, and he died like a warrior under the rain of arrows. Tchaidov's death seemed to herald the end of Kipros.

The Grand Duchy of Kipros Kiev, also known as the former Duchy of Suzdal, was owned by Viache after the surrender of Grand Duke Yuri. The Principality of Suzdal used to be the most prosperous and prosperous principality of Kipros, and in the Istrian Heights, in addition to the city of Kiev, there are also cities such as Vladimir and Tver. When Viache took Suzdal, he burst out with pride, and he felt that from Suzdal, he could recreate the mighty Kipros Empire, but everything changed dramatically since the Eastern Crusade. The once proud prosperous land of Suzdal has become the last reliance.

When the news of the battle in the Rogda Hills was reported back to the Teginets estate, Viache was numb. In fact, since Suriysk and the Northern Dvina River were out of control, the fate of the Rogda hill garrison has been sealed, but Vyache still has a trace of illusion, it is more than 50,000 Slavic soldiers, Kipros has never invested so many troops in one place at one time in a battle, more than 50,000 people, can't it create a miracle? The wish was very good, but in fact so many soldiers and horses could not stop the advance of the Easterners, and since they took control of the North Dvina, they immediately intensified their attack, and the entire Rogda defense line collapsed, and even Zadov could not escape. Is Kipros really coming to an end? Vyache is not reconciled, even if there is a little hope, he must persevere, the rich principality of Kiev cannot be lost, once this land is also taken by the Easterners, Kipros will no longer have the capital to turn over.

Lovidnov had a very good personal relationship with Tchaidov, and after hearing the news of Tchaidov's death in battle, the whole person became in a trance. The battle of Rogda was not another small battle, and the battlefield of more than 50,000 people was thrown into the battlefield, and the result could not be concealed, and at this time the news of the fiasco of Rogda was already known to the entire Kiev principality. Since the Eastern Crusade, the nobles of Kipros finally have nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, which is the last fire of Kipros, and as a result, half of the battle of Rogda was directly buried. Before the start of the war, no one had reached the end of the Battle of the Rogda Hills, even if they couldn't defeat the Orientals, it shouldn't be difficult for so many soldiers and horses to withdraw. If I had known that this would be the result, wouldn't I have opened up the Rogda battlefield to do anything, directly concentrate my forces, and hide in the Istrian heights to fight to the death? The Rogda garrison was wiped out, and the soldiers and horses left behind in the principality of Kyiv had no advantage. The Orientals grew bigger and stronger, but Kipros was struggling to survive, and at this moment many ordinary Slavic soldiers began to doubt the Grand Duke's decision.

There was a sense of panic in the principality, and the atmosphere in the Teginets manor was also depressed, with the Rogda hill defenses being breached, followed by the Gorod Plateau, followed by Vladimir and the city of Kiev. No matter how frustrated the Slavic nobles were, at this moment, they still had to support Viache. By now, everyone has no way to retreat, and once the last line of defense is also broken, there is no benefit to everyone. A noble lord had a gloomy face and said with some anger, "Your Excellency the Grand Duke, with our strength, it is difficult to fight the Orientals head-on, although the Gorod Plateau has built a city wall, it may not be able to stop the Orientals. Would we like to consult with the Germans again and see if we can get them to defend the Istrian heights with us? ”

"Germanic? They're very shrewd, and they won't be involved in this situation. Last year's crusade to the East, the Germans had long been beaten by the Orientals and lost their ambitions. Several major cavalry regiments of the Holy Empire have suffered heavy losses, and the major families are busy fighting among themselves, will they kindly help us fight the Orientals at this time? If Dorle hadn't considered the dispute with the Danube nobles, I'm afraid he wouldn't have easily agreed to form an alliance with us," Vyache sneered, and his tone was not without hatred, "Therefore, there is no longer any more idea of finding Germans, and we can only rely on ourselves to defend the Istrian heights." ”

"What about the Danes? The Danes have always been interested in the fertile land of the eastern Baltic Sea, and if we promise to cede that land to Denmark, perhaps they will help" The noble lords were also considered to be sick and rushed to the hospital, and before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lovednov, "Forget it, Eric, that old lamb is very timid and afraid, if we had promised it before, maybe he would have been tempted." Now that those lands are under the control of the Orientals, let's give away what doesn't belong to us, and you will be fooled as an old lamb, I'm afraid it's already very good if you don't scold us. ”

Eric is the current king of Denmark, because the Eric family started as a shepherder, so the people of the Eric family have always been called lambs, and Eric's successive lords are also called the king of lambs. It is already the third generation to reach Eric, who is notoriously timid and fearful, and legendarily afraid of his wife. Although the Kingdom of Denmark is not as glorious as it used to be, at its strongest, the Viking Legion controlled the entire North Sea, and Scotland and England were all under the jurisdiction of Denmark, and the Kingdom of Denmark at that time was known as the "Great Empire of the North Sea". Now, with the decline of the Vikings, Scotland, England and other places have broken away from the North Sea Empire, but in the interior, the Danes still have a strong strength. The Western continent has always been dominated by two major empires, the Holy Empire in the south, the North Sea Empire led by Denmark in the north, and the strength of the Kingdom of Denmark, but Van Eric III was bolder, and the Danes had already fought the Baltics. Now the Slavic nobles are also proposing to let the Danes help, which is a bit insulting to other people's IQ, not to mention Eric's old lamb, even Viache and the others feel panicked.

The nobleman who was sarcastically ridiculed by Lovednov turned a little dark, and Viache hurriedly raised his hand to signal both sides to calm down, "Okay, the Danes won't trouble the Orientals at this time, Eric is not a fool, and even if the Danes are willing to help now, they can't save the fire." The losses of the Easterners in Rogda are not serious, and I am afraid that it will not be long before they will attack. Let's discuss the situation in Gorod, Tirov, you were born in the Gorod Plateau, and you will command the defense of Gorod this time, and Liosa Noel and Rosh will help garrison Tver and Koster. Your mission is to block the Orientals as much as possible, and to use the favorable terrain to consume the Orientals' combat power. At the slightest breach in the defensive line, they immediately retreated, and we fought a decisive battle with the Easterners in Vladimir. ”

Many Slavic nobles couldn't help but slander in their hearts, the Grand Duke now knows how to fight, and what he did before. At that time, many people were advised not to open up the Rogda Hilly Front, but they did not listen, if the tens of thousands of Slavic children were intact, with nearly 100,000 troops, with the help of the Gorod Line and Vladimir, a decisive battle, it may not be lost to the Easterners, now that the Rogda garrison has been lost, even if the final decisive battle is launched, it will be at an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops. Drain the living forces of the Easterners with the help of the Gorod Line? The idea is very good, but judging from the situation of several encounters, the Oriental people may not be fooled, and they are very shrewd.

Seeing that the scene was a little dull, he stretched out his hand and patted the table, "Okay, don't be discouraged, we still have tens of thousands of cavalry, in the Istrian heights, we are very familiar with it, as long as we use it well, we will not be able to fight." The terrain in Gorod is steep, and if the Easterners want to attack strongly, it will not do much good, and at this critical moment, it will depend on our concerted efforts. If the Teginets Manor can't be saved, no one will be able to escape, and God will bless us if we can retreat to the Caucasus alive, so let's do our best to meet it for our own sake. ”

What Lovidnov said was impassioned and full of confidence, which really added some confidence to the nobles. On that day, the Slavs who remained in the Istrian heights were divided into two, one of them went to the Gorod Line, and some of them built fortifications in Vladimir.

Zhao Yougong commanded the army for many years, and knew the truth of the speed of the soldiers, since the battle of the Rogda hills, only a few days, on April 16 of the fifth year of Taikang, the Dingguo army began to cross the North Dvina River in two ways. In fact, since the Battle of Rogda Hills, Kipros has lost more than half of their last strength, and they are no longer able to defend more places, so they have not thought about defending outside of the Istrian Heights at all. Cahors, as the last fortified city in the northern part of the Istrian Highlands, soon became a key target for the Dingguo army. Half a day after the arrival of the cavalry in the ancient town, more than 30,000 Mongol servants surrounded Cahors from the east. Now Cahors is subordinate to the Count of Naksin in the Principality of Kiev, and there are more than 4,000 defenders in the city, and as many as 30,000 civilians. Cahors held the northern passage, and if he wanted to attack Gorod, he had to pass through Cahors, so Shi Wengong led the army south and directly focused on Cahors.

Although the Dingguo Army has an absolute advantage, Shi Wengong is still unwilling to storm Cahors, and under the hard attack, there must be a lot of casualties, which is not a good thing for the Dingguo Army. After besieging Cahors, Shi Wengong began his own path of surrender. In Cahors City, Naxin was also not very comfortable, because he had participated in the Eastern Crusade before and had also killed a lot of people in Nanuc City, so Naxin was very worried. He had the heart to surrender, but he was afraid of retaliation from the Easterners, after all, the fate of the skinners was still vivid, at least, Naxin did not feel that he was better than the skinners. If he wins the defense, Naxin feels that he will not be able to hold it, although Cahors has high walls and thick walls, it is not as good as the Rogda hills.

Shi Wengong had the intention to surrender, but he would not be so stupid as to do nothing, so he sent an envoy directly into the city. At the end of April 19, dozens of trebuchets appeared outside the city of Cahors, and it was not long before the trebuchets began to work, and some black objects were thrown into the city, and some fell on the top of the city, breaking directly into tiles. The rocket landed in the city and immediately ignited the fire. Cahors is not a traditional Kipros city, and the buildings in the city are mostly made of wood, and when they are contaminated with fire oil, the fire spreads directly. Shi Wengong did not kill him, but only made a move on part of the north, and in just a moment, the northeast of Cahors became a sea of fire, and many people ran to the streets, some scolded, and some sat on the ground crying with godless eyes.

Naxin was very depressed, and before the fight was made, the city was in chaos, and it was still daytime, and if it was night, I don't know how many people would be destroyed by this fire. Shi Wengong sent an envoy at the right time, and Naxin did not hesitate this time, and immediately surrendered after receiving his life. With the fall of Cahors, the Dingguo army attacked in many ways, and won successive battles, taking all the cities in the northern part of the Istrian Heights.

On 26 April, the vanguard of the Dingguo Army arrived near Gorod. Zhao Yougong stayed in the rear until he took Cahors, and then moved the front line. After Tang Miao sorted out the information in his hand, he began to make a concise report, "At present, there are more than 5,000 people in the Gorod garrison, plus Tver and Koster on both sides, the Slavs have gathered a total of nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses near Gorod. Our men have made a detailed survey of the terrain of Gorod, and although there are many roads, the general terrain is steep, and the Slavs have built many fortifications, so it is very unlikely that we will be able to pass through Gorod quickly without a large number of troops. ”

Shi Wengong led the vanguard army to arrive near Gorod early, he had already understood, listened to Tang Miao's words, and nodded seriously, "What General Tang said is true, the terrain near Gorod is steep and the mountain roads are narrow, which is not conducive to large-scale operations at all, and the cavalry cannot form a systematic combat effectiveness. If they concentrated on Gorod, the Tver and Koster garrisons would also support each other, and the Slavs had built a very solid line of defense. ”

Dongfang Jin is notoriously cunning, but in the face of the Gorod defense, he is also a little helpless. If you attack by force, the real damage is too much, it is definitely not cost-effective, but if you want to bypass it, it is also unlikely, and the large-scale troop mobilization will definitely not be able to hide from other people's eyes. Zhao Yougong's expression was calm, not impatient or impatient, these problems encountered were unknown, and naturally he would not be frightened by the little Gorod.

Gao Zhong has always been arrogant, and he doesn't have so many worries in his heart, he crossed his hands together, frowning, "No matter what, it's better to fight a dozen gorods first, at least to test how strong gorod's combat power is." The last general suggested that the shield soldiers and crossbowmen should first feint to see how the Slavs reacted, and formulate corresponding countermeasures with the combat effectiveness of the Slavs. ”

Gao Chong's move is also straightforward, no matter what to do so much, let's fight first, Dongfang Jin touched his chin, thought about it, and actually agreed to Gao Chong's proposal, "What General Gao said is very true, attacking Gorod, what we are afraid of is nothing more than the opponent's arrows and stones." If the Slavs do not have these things, and want to stop us by arming us alone, there is no hope at all. ”

Thinking carefully about the meaning of Dongfang Jin's words, Zhao Yougong agreed with a smile. The task of feint was handed over to Jerusha, and the next day, before mid-day, the northern part of Gorod remembered the rumbling of war drums, and the local defenders did not dare to slack off, and all entered the defense area. It didn't take long for a group of black soldiers to touch it, with heavy shields in front and crossbowmen in the back. After a certain distance close to Gorod, the commander of the thousand men gave a large order to shoot, and countless arrows fell from a high place, because the Slavs were condescending, so the shooting distance was very long, and the crossbowmen of the Dingguo army could not carry out an effective counterattack at all, and after losing a lot of manpower, Jerusha issued an order to retreat. The first feint attack, the loss was not much, but Jerusha was panicked in his heart, how to defeat Gorod?

Gorod is located in the northwestern part of the Istrian Highlands, the ground is hard, the outermost part of the place is like a knife to form a huge cliff, although there are many gentle slopes on both sides that can be climbed, but they are too narrow, one of the roads is very wide, but the Slavs are also the most heavily defended, Jerusha ordered a feint, and was smashed by a rolling stone. Yerusha had never commanded such a strange battle, if only Zheng Biao was here, with his years of experience in mountain warfare, he might have a way. The front of Gorod is like a cliff, and it is not so easy to climb it. Is it impossible to take a detour? Bypassing Gorod, not to mention traveling a hundred miles, and facing an unknown crisis, Jerusha really couldn't make such a decision.

Yu Xiaochen, Ren Phenol and others are all concentrated in the Yelu Sha tent, facing the battle situation of Gorod, there is no progress at all, you must know that His Royal Highness and others are waiting in Cahors, tens of thousands of troops are immobilized by Gorodka, and no one will have a bright face. Yerusha is also at a loss, gathering everyone, also trying to gather ideas, there is a lot of strength in numbers, "Everyone has seen the Gorod Heights, let's talk about their opinions, whether there are any good suggestions." Ben will remind you in advance, don't mention the idea of a detour, of course, if you are not afraid of being embarrassed, you can ask for reinforcements, but in the face of the Gorod landscape, it is estimated that no matter how many soldiers and horses are useless. ”

In fact, there is no need for Jerusha to remind him, several commanders have no idea of asking for reinforcements, and now there are more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in five camps concentrated in Gorod Gao, if there are so many people, it will be too embarrassing to say that it is not enough. The key is to find an effective means of attack, Ren Phenol is in charge of the first feint, so he has the most right to speak, he unfolded the temporary drawing of the battle map, and said with a serious expression, "General, judging from the attack on the first day, although there are as many as seven routes to attack Gorod, only the west side can really be used, and the others are too narrow, and the Slavs only need to send a small number of troops to lock our forward route." On the west side, there are six or seven zhang long, and the narrowest part is more than four zhang. In terms of the available troops, this is where we are most likely to take advantage of it. Judging from the previous situation, the biggest threat to us is the Rolling Stones, and if we can solve this problem, it will not be too difficult to break through the Gorod line. ”

What Ren said is very reasonable, but there is one problem that has not yet been solved, and that is how to deal with the rolling stones of the Slavs. The Slavs occupy a geographical advantage, they are condescending, and this place is a rocky landform, and the rolling stones are inexhaustible. Huang Qiyang dragged his chin and was silent, he had seen the first day of the offensive and defensive battle with his own eyes, the Slavs' rolling stones were too lethal, and many soldiers were smashed into flesh by the rolling stones before they could find the enemy. But what Ren Phenol said also makes sense, if you want to attack Gorod, there is only this way to go, and gradually Huang Qiyang has an idea in his heart, "General, the last general has a not very mature idea, the most lethal thing for the Slavs is the rolling stone, why don't we strengthen the shield, thicken the shield, and cast the triangle shape of the city outside, so that the stone rolls down, and after touching the triangular shield, it will be divided into both sides." We can continue to attack with a long snake formation, with the first few people wearing triangular shields, and the people behind also using shields to protect the left and right. The last general has observed the situation of the steep slope, the sides are not even, most of the stones are rolled down from the middle, we can send two long snake formations, from the left and right sides of the slowly rush up, as long as someone attacks the high slope, creating chaos, can provide convenience for the follow-up of a large number of soldiers and horses to attack. ”

Yerusha thought about it carefully and felt that what Huang Qiyang said was very reasonable, so he ordered, "Gather all the blacksmiths in the generals, and the Slavic blacksmiths in Cahors City will also be sent to the front line, seize the time to transform the shield, and it must be thickened." Tomorrow the day the whole army will be repaired, and the morning after tomorrow will attack the Gorod heights again, and strive to break through Gorod in an instant. ”

With Yerusha's order, the blacksmiths in the barracks were gathered, and from the night onwards, the camp sounded with the sound of clanging, and the blacksmiths were working in full swing, with Huang Qiyang and Ren Phenol personally supervising. Considering the load-bearing and possible impact force, Ren Phenol asked the blacksmith door to add six handles to the inside of the shield, so that one shield can be resisted by three or four people together, minimizing the damage caused by the impact force. The next day they remained still, which also caused a strange scene in Gorod, and the Slavs were ready for a fierce battle, but the main roads were empty and very quiet, and the Easterners did not seem to have any intention of attacking. The concentration of Tilov, Liosa Noel and Roche in makeshift castles, and the absence of the Orientals did not seem to be a good thing. Tirov deliberately let the Orientals attack, so that the Rolling Stones could play the greatest role, but on the first day, the Orientals suffered a loss, leaving hundreds of corpses and no longer attacking, which shows that they are thinking about a countermeasure.

Rosh is usually silent, but the important moment is still very insightful, he once took advantage of the noon, to observe the camp of the Orientals, the camp is full of smoke, a busy scene, but there is no intention of retreating, "Everyone, I'm afraid the next battle will not be so easy." When the Easterners attack again, they must be prepared. If the Rolling Stone is out of effect, it is estimated that the arrows will not be effective, so I recommend clearing the road to prepare us for the next blockade. ”

Liao Sha Noel nodded in agreement, some things are better to prepare in advance, although temporary cramming is useful, but it is too easy to have accidents. After a day of preparation, all the blacksmiths were gathered, and finally dozens of thick triangular shield paddles were created. Early the next morning, the rumbling drums sounded again, and the five hundred soldiers of the Dingguo Army divided into two columns and formed two long snake formations to attack along the wide ramp. At first, the Slavs also launched bows to block them, but all of these arrows were blocked by shields.

Standing on a high place, Tilov could faintly see the situation below, and when he saw the two long snakes wrapped in black shields, he couldn't help but frown. The way the Orientals attacked was really weird, and at this time, Liao Sha Nuoer also made people stop shooting bows and arrows, drew his broadsword, and only landed on a boulder with one leg, "Drop the rolling stones, smash these hateful Orientals to death." ”

There was a strong sense of confidence in Liosa Noor's words, and the Slavic soldiers were also full of confidence and did not have the slightest worry. Because on the first day, the Oriental people also rushed up, but they were greeted by a rolling stone, and they fled after killing hundreds of people. There was a rumbling sound, rolling stones down the gentle slope, hitting some gravel, and making a clattering sound, which made the Slavs depressed. The Orientals held their shields on both sides, and many stones rolled through the middle, without even touching human hair. Some stones hit it, but there was no expected scream, the stone hit the triangular shield, bang, several soldiers behind the shield shook, but quickly stabilized, the stone was directly skimmed to the side, and then the shield behind it hit out, and the stone rolled directly to the middle, unable to pose a threat to the soldiers behind him.

The Slavs launched the first round of rolling stone attacks, but with little success, except for one unlucky soldier who was knocked under his feet and bruised in the arm. Liosa Noel and the Slavic soldiers standing on it were dumbfounded, they still didn't give up, and continued to throw rolling stones, but the result was still about the same, because the sides of the gentle slope were relatively high, most of the stones rolled and rolled in the middle, and they could not pose a threat to the soldiers on both sides at all, and some of the ones that collided were also blocked by strange shields.

Below the Gorod Heights, since the first round of attacking troops rushed up, Yerusha was nervously sweating in his palms, and he had been holding a clairvoyant mirror to observe the attack, and when he saw that the Slavs' rolling stones had lost their threat, he couldn't help laughing, and Huang Qiyang and the others were even more happy to high-five. The two long snake formations continued to approach forward, and after the arms of the soldiers in front were numb, there were immediately people from behind coming up, and everyone took turns to resist the triangular shields in front, but the formation was not chaotic. The triangular shield was deliberately made, the weight was not low, and when it was moved, it made a heavy muffled sound when it was released to the ground, and the movement was very slow, but it was effective, and the Slavs could only stare dryly for a while, and there was nothing they could do.

Tirov gasped, fortunately he had prepared before, if he still defended according to the situation of the first day, I am afraid that he will have to swallow the consequences today. The rolling stones did not stop, and hundreds of soldiers of the Dingguo Army were engrossed in holding their shields, and for half an hour, they didn't know how many stones rolled past them. A few dozen feet further, it was possible to attack, and some of the soldiers looked up and could already see the faces of the Slavs. Qi Tian knocked the iron rod on the shield in his hand and shouted, "Brothers, work hard, you are about to go up, and when you get to the top, let the Slavic beard taste our strength!" ”

"Huh.... The soldiers echoed each other, full of indignation. This is a relatively steep stone step, the soldiers did not hesitate at all, directly crossed the stone steps, and immediately became wide in front of them, maybe not a quarter of an hour to kill, at the same time, the main force of the soldiers and horses below also began to prepare, as long as there was chaos above, immediately pounced up, otherwise relying on those hundreds of soldiers, it would definitely not last long.

Tirov's eyes were cold, and when he saw the soldiers of the Dingguo Army crossing the stone steps, he slowly raised his hand, and his face showed a bit of viciousness, "Order.... Brake cutter ....."

"Your Excellency the Legion Commander has an order..... Brake ..... Let go of the gatekeepers...", and a moment later there was a sound, and an iron chain shook violently, and at the end pulled a huge gate, which was a bit like an anchor, and the huge blade was hung with many sharp iron bars. The knife fell from the upper right, dragged by the chain, and made a ping-pong sound, crisp and piercing. At this time, the soldiers of the Dingguo Army also noticed the abnormality, and instinctively looked towards the right-hand position. As soon as Qi Tian raised his head, he saw a soldier behind him being cut off by the gate knife, and the sharp iron bar on the knife was scraped on the nearby soldiers, either dead or injured, and the heavy shield could not block the impact of the gate knife at all, and it was banging for a while, and the long snake array was in chaos. Qi Tian just wanted to say something, his chest hurt, and the whole person was scraped by a heavy iron chain, and the person also flew into the air, directly on the hard cliff. Poof, Qi Tian didn't have time to snort in pain, and fell directly.

A huge sluice knife, flicked left and right, all the creatures in a radius of several zhang were cut, hundreds of soldiers became a blur of flesh and blood, some were cut off, some were taken to the bottom of the cliff, some were directly killed, and some alive wanted to retreat, but without the cover of the complete shield array, they were also killed by rolling stones.

The Slavs let out an earth-shattering cry, but Jerusha, who was standing under the high ground, had a gloomy face, not expecting the Slavs to have such a terrible aftermath. A sluice knife sweeps everything, and if so, no number of people will go to kill the Slavs. Jerusha was very angry, it was already the third day, although the loss was less than fifteen hundred, but the key problem was that he had not touched the Slavs, and after so many years of fighting, he had never been so cowardly. Yu Xiaochen and the others also looked defeated, how could they not be disheartened when the carefully prepared triangular shield array ended like this. Witnessing the tragedy, Huang Qiyang's lips turned a little blue, and in the face of the huge sword, the soldiers were like a swarm of ants, and they had no ability to resist.

"Big... Great General .... What can I do? "Several commanders are all a little numb in their scalps, they don't say that they are afraid of death, but they don't know how to face this gate knife, such a fast killing weapon, no matter how popular the kung fu is, it is also a different place when they collide.
