"My lord, I know that you don't want the knights to ride the horses, but even if we take the stables in Yaroslavl, there will be a place in the Grand Duke's Castle dedicated to the maintenance of the horses of the nobles and the knights, and we can't stop all the cavalry from getting on the horses......"

Conrad, who was running wildly, looked at the castle where Grand Duke Yaroslav lived, hundreds of meters away, and reminded Shu Zifeng as if he had just reacted.

"Conrad, I have never had the luxury of Yaroslav City falling into my hands without resistance, the well-tended war horses in the castle are all for the big men to ride, there are not many of them, we only need to dismantle the Grand Duke Yaroslav and form a large number of cavalry."

Conrad looked at Shu Zifeng's confident appearance, and said with a worried expression: "However, the official knights in the castle are all proficient in the art of horse warfare, and they can easily disperse more than a dozen infantry by one person, if we don't have the corresponding knights to fight, it is likely to ......."

Conrad slammed when he said this, and the tiger-like killing of Shu Zifeng in the first battle of the city gate cave came to his mind, and his face was happy: "My lord, you are a master of horse warfare, right?" ”

Shu Zifeng did not answer Conrad's question directly, but asked rhetorically: "Conrad, can you ride a horse?" ”

"This ...... Where can a hunter like me have the money to buy horses...... At most, I've ridden a donkey. ”

"Well, it's pretty much the same, as long as you can ride on horseback and make sure you don't get knocked down, I need you to lead me to the castle where Grand Duke Yaroslav lives!

At this time, there were not yet a large number of organized soldiers on the streets, and Grand Duke Yaroslav should not have responded in time, or rather not enough attention from him, so I had to kill Grand Duke Yaroslav before he alertly closed the gates of the castle!

Conrad, do you see what I mean? ”

Conrad looked at Shu Zifeng's calm face dumbfounded, and replied with a little stammer: "Big ...... Your Excellency, you ...... You want to be alone...... Kill yourself into a Grand Duke's castle? ”

"What? Any questions? ”

"Uh...... No, no, no, no problem, if I just lead the way, I should be able to guarantee that I won't be upside down on my horse, but...... Have you really reached the realm of a great knight? ”

Conrad asked with curiosity in his awe-struck eyes.

"Grand Knight? What is that? Shu Zifeng split the soldiers intercepted in front of the stable in half with an axe, wiped the blood foam that was sprayed on his face, and said lightly without looking back.

Although Shu Zifeng spoke to Conrad behind him in a casual tone, the movements of his hands were not slow at all, and the four Yaroslav city defense soldiers guarding in front of the stable were miserably hacked to the ground in a blink of an eye, and none of the corpses remained intact!

Shu Zifeng's one-sided slaughter directly frightened the servants and miscellaneous servants in the stable into fleeing, and Shu Zifeng, who was pressed for time, had no intention of chasing them, and he didn't even bother to pay attention to the task completion language prompted by the system elf in his mind.

This is Shu Zifeng during the battle, and all his energy will only be focused on the aspect of victory in the war.

Shu Zifeng asked about the realm of the great knight in order to better understand the strength of the opponent, about the division of personal force in this parallel world, the system elves are not very clear, Shu Zifeng is about to enter the castle of Grand Duke Yaroslav alone, so naturally he has to ask the reason.

Shu Zifeng cut off all the ropes that tied the horses to the stable, took out two war horses and handed them to Conrad: "Ride on it and show me the way, and tell me about the big knight as you go." ”

After the order, Shu Zifeng unceremoniously lit a fire in the stable, stirring all the war horses out of the stable, and while preventing the cavalry in Yaroslavl from coming to ride the war horses, it also further increased the chaos in Yaroslavl City!

For the small number of Shuzifeng's side, the more chaotic Yaroslav is, the better their chances of victory, because chaos will confuse the enemy and greatly hinder the concentration of troops in Yaroslav to counterattack.

"My lord, the great knight is a kind of aristocratic class for the honorific title of the great warrior, each great knight has far more endurance and strength than ordinary people, and it is even rumored that the great knight can defeat the siege of ten official knights at the same time with his own strength, therefore, every great knight is the backbone of the cavalry force, is the leader of the cavalry charge, the strength and physical strength of the great knight can wear heavier armor, use weapons with greater destructive power, in the cavalry duel, as long as the difference in numbers is not too big, The side with the big knight taking the lead will undoubtedly have a huge advantage!

The Grand Knight was an important combat force in the army, and the city of Moscow was not worried that the local lords under his command would accept the Grand Knight to serve them, so most of the Grand Knight of the Muscovy were gathered in the capital of Moscow.

This is the result of the discussion between the Grand Duke of Moscow and the Council of Duma nobles, and in principle, lords who have been ordained outside are not allowed to raise warriors of the rank of knights without permission. ”

"yes, I see." After hearing this, Shu Zifeng once again strengthened his determination to personally enter the castle of Grand Duke Yaroslav, and at the same time, he secretly rejoiced in his heart that the restrictions imposed by the Moscow Principality on local lords, the deprivation of military power and high-end military force, undoubtedly made Shu Zifeng's plan to seize the city more smooth!

From this point, it can be seen that Muscovy has laid a good foundation for centralized power at this time, because the local lord army and the level of force in the city of Moscow are no longer on the same level, and the struggle for power is basically concentrated in the city of Moscow.

Although the core of the Muscovy is gathered in the city of Moscow, which will cause a great obstacle to the young Ivan IV to take power, as long as Ivan IV overwhelms the great nobles to really take power, Muscovy will complete the transformation of centralized power at the fastest speed, and the rapid rise of the historical Muscovy is inseparable from this!

Although dictatorship has been repeatedly despised by later generations, it has to be admitted that the most dynamic and expansive countries are often the product of dictatorships, and parliamentarism is only suitable in times of peace, and only one person needs to be able to give orders in times of war.

Shu Zifeng controlled the horse in one hand and carried a heavy and sharp long-handled battle axe in the other, and under the guidance of Conrad, he ran to the Grand Duke's castle in the center of Yaroslav City with a cold face.

All the soldiers of the city defense army who blocked the way along the way became the souls of Shu Zifeng's axe without exception!
