A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet each other.

In Shu Zifeng's era, black powder has long been known, and with Conrad's contributions, Shu Zifeng and others made several monkeys that resemble small ceremonial flowers...... Oh no, it should be called a 'flare'.

When Shu Zifeng killed the city defense army, the entourage soldiers behind had already released a signal, and after Leonidas and his party, who were hiding in the grove in the distance, saw the signal, they immediately ordered someone to ignite the beast dung that had been prepared long ago, igniting the raging smoke, and conveying the signal to the civilian 'Axe Gang' in the territory gathered farther away.

This is part of Shuzifeng's plan to seize the city, Yaroslav City, as the capital city of Muscovy, is not something that a hundred people can occupy, and it is not difficult to capture the city gate, but if you want to really gain a foothold in Yaroslavl City, it is an inevitable choice to pull out all the young people in the villages in the territory.

For the success of this desperate gamble, Shu Zifeng only left less than 20 guards in Dehrim.

Shu Zifeng led a dozen retinues to investigate the situation in Yaroslav City and seize the city gates, Leonidas and the remaining recruits hid in the grove and waited for the signal, while more village leaders were too numerous and easily exposed in the grove, so they could only stay farther away, which is why Leonidas ignited the 'wolf smoke' as soon as he got the signal.

Although the time for the hundreds of villagers with the largest number of people with logging axes to get the signal to Yaroslav City will be delayed a lot, Shu Zifeng originally did not plan to let these villagers who have not undergone military training experience a bloody battle, according to the normal time difference, when the villagers of Dehrim get the signal to rush to the city, the battle of Yaroslav City has basically been decided, and these villagers with logging axes are mainly Shu Zifeng's people who use to control the city.

The main forces fighting to capture the city of Yaroslav were only Shu Zifeng, Leonidas, and a hundred soldiers he trained.

This is the reason why even the system elves feel that Shu Zifeng is crazy, even if he has taken advantage of the surprise and dares to plot a real capital-level city with only a hundred people, this kind of thing can only be done by a madman......

The reason why Shu Zifeng was so desperate was also his considerations, even the system elves didn't expect Shu Zifeng to dare to take a hundred people to seize the city, let alone Grand Duke Yaroslav, who didn't know anything about Shu Zifeng, that is to say, Shu Zifeng was equivalent to attacking a city that didn't have much defense.

Moreover, the most awesome class of troops in this era is never infantry, even if arquebuses have begun to become popular, and artillery has begun to emerge, but the dominant force on the battlefield is still knight-based cavalry units!

The reason why the Mongol-Tatars were able to repeatedly harass and invade the territory of Muscovy at a time when their national strength was declining was precisely because of the cavalry tactics of their steppe peoples.

And most of the combat effectiveness of the knights and horsemen comes from the power brought by riding war horses, Shu Zifeng knows very well that even if all the villagers in his entire territory are trained into elite infantry that are forbidden by order, they will not be able to stop the charge of dozens of heavily armed iron horsemen, let alone face the cavalry and archery troops......

In ancient wars, the infantry army formation wanted to defeat the cavalry troops, in addition to the long-range strike weapons with strong armor-piercing ability and ultra-long range, at least ten times the number of cavalry troops, in order to block the momentum launched by the cavalry troops, after all, people are afraid, the cavalry troops occupy a speed advantage, and can launch a charge against the infantry phalanx from any direction, as long as there is a successful breakthrough in the interception of the infantry phalanx, the strict military formation of the infantry group will be torn apart, and then it will face a massacre without resistance!

Because of this, the Mongols were able to defeat the enemy with fewer victories, and almost conquered Eurasia with a mere population of a million!

Because of the weakness of the infantry in the war, the Europeans began to frantically pursue the size of the cavalry and the fighting ability of the knights, because as long as a knight is proficient in horse fighting skills, he can use the wind tactics to kill hundreds of pine soldiers who lack long-range strike ability, and when the knights reach a certain number, this gap will be even greater, resulting in the infantry becoming an auxiliary force of the cavalry.

If it weren't for the need for a large number of infantry in siege warfare, I am afraid that the Europeans would abandon the infantry as a unit......

Shu Zifeng, who knew the true strength of the cavalry very well, was naturally unwilling to face the impact of the aristocratic knight troops of the Principality of Moscow, and it would be very worry-free to farm at home, but as long as the aristocratic class of the Principality of Moscow discovered Dehrium and sent a team of 'iron can' cavalry to launch a charge, the fruits of Shu Zifeng's farming would be in vain......

Shu Zifeng is not a character who sits idly by, and he is even more unwilling to use his unknown Shouyuan to advance the troops, and he will not bow his head easily until he is cornered!

The capture of Yaroslav City is the first pot of gold for the rise of Shu Zifeng, with Conrad, a guide who is familiar with the terrain, Shu Zifeng's plan to seize the city has been perfected, and the rest is a matter of killing.

The physical body of the muscular and bone realm has almost developed the extreme strength of the human body of ordinary people, coupled with the killing moves that Shu Zifeng honed in his previous life, rushing into these soldiers of the city defense army who are not lined up in a military formation, even if they can't be crushed, it is almost the same.

In a miserable cry, the remaining city defense soldiers didn't hold on for even ten minutes, and they were killed by Shu Zifeng, almost all of them were cut down by Shu Zifeng alone, and the 'Axe Gang' soldiers behind were almost beaten down and mended the wounded city defense soldiers, so zero battle damage was guaranteed......

After the city defense army under the city was dispersed, the city defense army with few heads naturally did not have the courage to come down and send them to death, and ran away, just like that, almost relying on Shu Zifeng alone, he captured the city gate of Yaroslavl City!

From this it can be seen how poor the defense of the aristocratic cities was in peacetime......

After Shu Zifeng ordered his entourage soldiers to clean up the battlefield to meet Leonidas, he grabbed Conrad and shouted: "Take me to the nearest stable, we can't let the reacting Grand Duke's Guard and knights ride their war horses!" ”

After hearing this, Conrad immediately took Shu Zifeng and ran to the place where the war horses were stored in Yaroslav City, at this time Yaroslav City was in chaos, and even the alarm bell did not sound......

Although civilian riots are not a common thing, they are not uncommon, under the oppression of inhumans, there are always serfs who can't think of looking for death to try to resist, this kind of trivial matter Grand Duke Yaroslav will naturally not be interested, he thinks that his captain of the guard is enough to deal with it, and he is more interested in the body of an underage girl than going to the battlefield to fight and kill.
