Chapter 1258: Only Light vs. Darkness

Since the battle of the small town of Kuasr, the Slavs on the Istrian heights have completely lost the initiative, because the most elite hammer cavalry has lost more than half, what else to attack? If you can't attack, you can only be beaten passively.

The more than 5,000 hammer cavalry who attacked the town of Kuasr were all wiped out, and the once beautiful town became a mess, and Dongfang Jin finally came to the town. Xiao Zhiyun had already been killed, leaning against the wall and panting, seeing Dongfang Jin with a gloomy face, she shook her head with a wry smile. There are countless generals in the army, and only Dongfang Jin dares to do this, although he won and completely gained the initiative, but this is a battle that is destined to have no merit, because Dongfang Jin put Zhao Yougong in danger. If it were someone else, I am afraid that they would not think much about it at all, and directly rushed to the small town of Kuasr, in that case, His Highness and the Ruifeng Battalion would naturally not have any major incidents, but in the same way, more than 5,000 hammer cavalry would come and go freely. More than 5,000 Slavic cavalrymen, who can say for sure what kind of impact so many cavalry will have on future wars? Therefore, Dongfang Jin is really bold, if he wins, the merits and demerits are compensated, if he loses, Dongfang Jin will not escape death. However, it can also be seen from this point that Dongfang Jin is a person who does not want to be famous, everything he does is from the overall situation, he dares to do this, and he thinks that the Ruifeng Battalion can withstand it.

Dongfang Jin is also very anxious, although he is very confident in Zhao Yougong and others, he still keeps praying along the way, because as long as something happens to His Royal Highness Zhao, then he Dongfang Daguan will have only a dead end. Those who favor highly, even the eldest princess, will not show mercy. There are thousands of soldiers in the Ruifeng Battalion, and there are towns as supporters, and there are talents like Zhao Yougong, Yang Zaixing, Xiao Zhiyun and Hu Sanniang in the army. Fortunately, he guessed correctly, Ruifeng Camp really did not disappoint, after solving the Slavs on the periphery, Dongfang Jin rode into the town on horseback and found Xiao Zhiyun and Yang Zaixing, but when he saw Xiao Zhiyun's sinister gaze, he shuddered, and he didn't dare to come to Xiao Zhiyun's face to find a scolding, so he got off the horse and helped Yang Zaixing. At this time, General Yang's armor was tattered, and there were three wounds on his shoulders and abdomen, and his expression was embarrassed, "Shao Lie, where is Your Highness?" Where is Your Highness? ”

Yang Zaixing glanced at Dongfang Jin weakly, found a spear and pestle on the ground, and panted heavily, "I don't know.... I went to look for Chai Keluo outside the town before, you hurry up and look for it, don't blame Yang for saying ugly things ahead, if something happens to His Royal Highness, you just wait for a thousand cuts." Yang Zaixing's tone was sinister, and Dongfang Jin gasped when he heard it, do you blame Yang Zaixing? I'm afraid it's no wonder, even Xiao Zhiyun is gloomy and compassionate, not to mention Yang Zaixing, that is, Yang Zaixing and Xiao Zhiyun are more reasonable, if they meet a rough man like Gao Zhong and Yelusha, it is estimated that without saying a word, he will throw him Dongfang Jin under the gate knife and chop it up and feed it to the dog. Dongfang Jin touched the cold sweat on his forehead, and ran out of the town in three steps and two steps, he knew very well in his heart that now His Highness is alive, he can live, and if something happens to His Highness, he Dongfang will have to be buried with him today. What is for the sake of the overall situation, what killed more than 5,000 hammer cavalry, compared to His Royal Highness Zhao, these are all fart?

In the southwest of the town, Dongfang Jin saw a mountain of corpses, and when he saw so many corpses, he almost fainted, especially the golden dragon flag that fell in the pile of corpses was even more dazzling, and the golden dragon flag also fell, what about His Highness? Suddenly, Dongfang Jin had a bad feeling in his heart, his face trembled, and he ran to the pile of corpses and pulled up, crying bitterly while pulling, tears and snot flowed out, crying earth-shattering, "Your Highness, you can't have anything to do.... If you're gone, your subordinates won't be able to live alone.... Whining.... You idiots, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and find out, you must find out Your Highness..."

Dongfang Jin cried a sad heart, he was not only because of his life and death, but also because of his true feelings. After so many years of getting along, from the Longmen Desert to the current Kiporos, the two get along well, although they are subordinates, they are actually very good friends, and now that the Golden Dragon Flag is broken, Dongfang Jin can't help but be sad. A commander held his helmet, the corners of his mouth trembled, and his eyes rolled up, "Military advisor.... What are you doing, Your Highness is alive and well, just rest in front of you..."

Ga, Dongfang Jin was crying sadly, and when he suddenly heard such a sentence, the whole person was blinded. After a long while, he took out a severed arm from the pile of corpses and took it according to the commander next to him, "You are a fool, Your Highness is alive and well, why didn't you say it earlier!" ”

The commander was full of innocence, and his heart kept slandering, as soon as you showed up, you crawled into the pile of corpses and pulled it, and you snorted and cried, the devil knows what you want to do. I was unhappy, but I didn't dare to worry about Dongfang Jin, so I could only hide back, raising my arm to cover my face, "Military advisor.... You can't blame the general, the general wanted to say it, and you didn't give the general a chance. ”

"Hmph, you rammer, a certain family will settle accounts with you in the future" Dongfang Jin shook his sleeves and climbed up the corpse mountain, looked forward, and sure enough, there were more than a dozen people sitting under the big tree resting, and they didn't care about any image, so they rolled down from the corpse mountain and soon rushed to the bottom of the big tree. Seeing that familiar face, Dongfang Jin suddenly felt so kind, "Your Highness, you're okay, haha, woo.... But it scared a certain family. ”

Dongfang Jin was crying and laughing, which really made people laugh. However, Zhao Yougong somewhat understood Dongfang Jin, and finally destroyed more than 5,000 hammer cavalry, but he was going to be looked down upon, and only he could know the grievances in his heart. Stretched out his hand and patted Dongfang Jin's shoulder, grinning, "Great official, don't you rely on this king to get so close, what should you do if others think too much?" This king doesn't have that bad habit, you don't have a shame, this king still needs some face. ”

Wow, Dongfang Jin prepared a belly of beautiful words, but he was choked by Zhao Yougong's words and almost didn't take his breath. However, he was also a lot more relieved, and he could still joke nonsense, proving that His Highness really had no big problems.

In the battle of the town of Kuasr, the Hammer Cavalry lost a lot of money, and they didn't get any benefits, but they trapped themselves. Chai Keluo was the most unlucky person, he was bent on running for his life, but he couldn't escape in the end, and Dongfang Jin didn't think about taking any prisoners, so Chai Keluo didn't even have a chance to surrender. Those Mongol cavalrymen all exchanged their heads for military merits, and when they saw the green light in their heads, these Mongols would be considered to be open to heaven if they did not kill good and risky merits, and it was whimsical to expect them to take prisoners. Although the battle in the town was thrilling, it was actually all within Dongfang Jin's expectations, if he hadn't been bold and careful, the battle in the town would not have been able to achieve such great results.

In comparison, Lovednov, who sat in the city of Vladimir and waited for news, was much more miserable. There has been no news of the thousands of cavalry sent to the small town of Kuasr, Luo Weidenov can be said to be living like a year, today is the third day, the uneasiness in his heart is getting stronger and stronger, Luo Weide can't do it in the house, he sorted out the documents in his hand, put them on the top, and walked out of the castle with a frown. Perhaps it was the reason why the Great War was approaching, the streets were sparsely populated, and even the hawkers were much less in the rain or shine, and a few beggars in the corners were curled up and looked at the patrols with awe on their faces, many places were smelly and dirty, and the walls were stained with a lot of black mud. Vladimir was full of corruption and filth, but Luo Weide did not react to it, since the Great Plague, there have been too many tragedies to see it, and everything in front of him is just a small matter. Crossing the long street and walking straight to the top of the city, the guards saluted unusually respectfully, and their eyes were full of admiration. Luo Weide was born into a great aristocracy, read a lot of books since he was a child, and was praised as a great wisdom by the people of Kipros. Reading is a luxury, today's Kipros is far inferior to the Great Song Dynasty, there are very few people who can read, and most of the nobles will not cherish the opportunity to read, most of them feel that reading is meaningless, so it also leads to very few people who really know how to know Kipros, and Luo Weidenov is one of them.

Warm spring came, but Vladimir's wind was still a little cold, tightening the cloak on his body, Luo Weide looked out of the city in a little confusion, at this time he had no time to care about the affairs of the Gorod Heights, he was most concerned about the more than 5,000 hammer cavalry. After the failure of the Eastern Crusade and the invasion of the Great Plague, Kipros has become weak, and more than 10,000 Iron Hammer Cavalry have been formed by smashing pots and selling iron, so they can't afford to lose at all. Not long after looking at the city, the legal officer hurriedly walked over and handed over a letter sealed with wax, "Lord Luo Weide, the news just sent by the Red Flame Fort guard in front of you is a military report from Kuasr Town. ”

As soon as he heard that it was an urgent report on the military situation from Kuasr, Luo Weide didn't care if it was on the city, picked up the sealed wax, and unfolded the military report, but after just a glance, he felt that his eyes were gray and blurred. The heartbeat was getting faster and faster, even the hands began to tremble, the legs had no strength at all, the head was buzzing, and everything in front of him shook for a while, Luo Weide screamed in pain, and the whole person fell backwards. Doche and a few pro-soldiers had already seen that something was wrong with Luo Weide, and when his body fell back, several people supported Luo Weide with all hands and feet, but at this time Luo Weide had already fainted, and the military newspaper leaf in his hand fell to the ground. He was as careful as a hair, and without waiting for others to see the content of the military newspaper, he quickly bent down and picked it up, swept it slightly, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, he finally understood why Luo Weide fainted. More than 5,000 Hammer Cavalry were wiped out, and Kipros lost the only chance to turn the tide of battle. More than 5,000 hammer cavalry, without them, how much attack power does Kiporos have left? No wonder Lord Luo Weide has heartache, this is the hard work of countless people in Kipros. Why is this happening? Why is everything not going well, is Kipros really coming to an end?

The oil lamp emitted a faint light, the room was dull, and after Luo Weide woke up, he looked at the dark roof with some blankness, no matter how far the situation developed, he tried to turn it around. From the Gorod Highlands to the small town of Kuasr, he has been trying to find opportunities and preserve his strength as much as possible. These days, he lives cautiously, racking his brains to find a little glory for Kipros. In Kuasr, he found an opportunity, and if all goes well, he can seize that only opportunity to turn the tide of the battlefield. There will be no more missed opportunities, so Luo Weide was tempted, but as a result, Kuasr did not fight down, not to mention, more than 5,000 hammer cavalry were also wiped out. Why is this happening? Luo Weide couldn't understand that he had worked hard enough, been careful enough, and even gave all his faith to God, and did everything he could, but he still failed. For the first time, Luo Weide felt a deep helplessness, in the face of huge power, all conspiracies and tricks became weak, and he had great power to forcibly crush the past. Facing the Orientals at this time is like facing that infinite power. The strength of the Orientals is too strong, and it is no longer a trick to win. A sneak attack on Kuasr is not bad, it is already the most reliable trick, but it still ends miserably, because of what? The reason is too simple, the Orientals are strong, they have enough troops, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded Kuasr, and the sneak attackers became turtles in the urn.

This is powerful, really powerful, no matter how you fight, you can't beat it through. There was a deep sense of powerlessness in Lovednov, he didn't know how long he could hold out, a day or two? When did blood stain the land? Maybe today, maybe tomorrow.

The events in the small town of Kuasr did not affect the battle situation in the Gorod Heights at all, and at this time, Tirov did not know that such a big thing had happened in the small town of Kuasr, if he knew, he would definitely withdraw his troops without hesitation, let alone have the intention of returning to Tver. It's a pity that the small town of Kuasr is an emergency, and it is impossible for Tirov to know in advance, and it is even more impossible for Lovednov to predict the outcome of the battle in advance, and now even if he wants to send news, it is too late. With the return of tens of thousands of eastern troops to the city of Koster, the pressure on the frontal battlefield in the Gorod Heights increased dramatically, and the outermost defensive line had been harassed by the Mongol cavalry, and the Slavs were powerless to stop it, and soon abandoned the outermost defensive line. Having lost his advantage in the high ground, Tilov was no longer able to cope with the defensive Gorod with the same ease as before. Jerusha was personally in charge of the Gorod offensive and defensive battles, and this time he was not in a hurry, but fought steadily, testing with a small number of troops each time, which also caused the trap prepared by the Slavs to lose its effect.

The pressure was mounting and Tirov soon had the idea of retreating, and Rosh ran in panting, his face pale as if he had been blowing in the snow for two days and two nights. But this is not the middle of winter, but a warm spring, and there can be no icy snow, "Rosh, what's wrong?" Aren't you stationed on the flanks? ”

Rosh's face was full of horror, and he exhaled a long breath before he said tremblingly, "Oh no, there are a large number of Eastern cavalry in the direction of Tver, judging from the armor, it should be the elite iron chain cavalry of the Easterners?" ”

"What?" Tirov sat down directly in his seat, he finally understood why the Easterners were not in a hurry to attack Gorod, and thought that they were cautious, but it turned out that they had other plans.

Chapter 992 Escaping for your life is also an art

Something happened, something must have happened, and Tirov's heart sank to the bottom in a blink of an eye. The Eastern cavalry detoured to the Tver area, which should not be hidden from Vladimir, with the ability of Lord Luo Weide, it is impossible for him not to find a way to deal with it, and now the Oriental people have arrived smoothly, which can only show one point, something big happened to Vladimir. Tilovod, isn't it just to recapture Gorod in search of fighters? I think Lord Luo Weide used his cavalry to do something else, but it didn't work. At this moment, Tirov felt a deep sense of powerlessness, why didn't anything he do, it didn't work? In the face of strength, it seems that all intrigues and tricks have become so fragile, and Kipros at this time has more to depend on fate. Before Tilov and others could figure out how to deal with it, the elite cavalry of the highly favored had already launched a tidal offensive against the Slavic battalion in the Tver direction, and at this moment, only death awaited the Slavs.

Gao Zhong has been tempered by the fire of war, and his use of cavalry has reached the point of perfection. If Wu Jue is good at large-scale cavalry head-on, then Gao Chong is good at stealth and running, and small-scale combat. The attack of the cavalry of the ancient town was so swift that many of the Slavs failed to react, and a hundred-man infantry wandered outside the camp, their faces relaxed and not worried. Since the recapture of Gorod, nothing has happened, especially in the direction of Tver, which can be described as an impregnable wall, and even if the Easterners attack, it is impossible to choose this direction. Distorted self-confidence filled the entire battalion, so the patrols were not too attentive, and the so-called scouts were just releasing five miles of land. The centurion Yunos walked in front with a clay pot in his arms, and there was a pile of meat in the pot, and Yunos was very happy, and when he returned to the camp, he would get a pot of delicious broth, and the day would be easy. Stampeding, it seemed to be the sound of horses' hooves, Yunos didn't think much about it, looked up into the distance, a black dot slowly appeared, wasn't that his own scout? With the appearance of this Slavic scout, Yunos's patrol all stopped to watch, and some people raised their hands to say hello, Yunos smiled, this scout cavalry has good equestrian skills, the speed is so fast, and soon the two sides approached, and then they heard clearly what the scout was shouting, "Run, run, the Easterners are coming." ”

What? Yunos was stunned, and the patrolmen behind him were also stunned, what the hell? Where are the Orientals? I just wanted to laugh at this scout, but in the blink of an eye, the earth shook, and behind the scout, countless figures appeared, and the silver armor on their bodies could be clearly seen in the sunlight, "Hey, silver armored cavalry, run, it's the chain cavalry, hell..." It's not that Yunos is timid, there is really no way, there are more than 100 people under his hands, and they are not enough to stuff their teeth. For the Slavs, those silver-armored cavalry are nightmarish existences, iron chains, armored war horses, since the battle, I don't know how many Slavic warriors have died at the hands of such strange cavalry, Yunos does not want to use his own flesh and blood, to resist the hooves of the ironclad cavalry.

Gao Pet came, his attack was fast and fierce, several patrols on the periphery saw these cavalry, they had no heart to resist at all, and they collapsed in an instant, the large camp in the direction of Tver shook the sky, and the commander Guercha desperately tried to pacify the big battalion, but the soldiers had long been frightened by the silver armored cavalry, and they couldn't be appeased at all. In desperation, Guaercha organized more than 2,000 people to build a defensive line in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, he would not be stupid enough to form a defensive line outside the camp, that kind of place is the most serious place where the opposing cavalry is raging, relying on speed, it is estimated that a single face can break the formation. Guaercha is also a bit military-minded, and after the eastern cavalry rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army, the speed has weakened, and relying on the infantry formation, it can be completely blocked. The tents in the large camp were connected, and the roads left were narrow and twisted, and the cavalry simply could not form an effective formation.

At the beginning of the battle, the Slavs guarding outside the camp were unable to stop the impact of the ancient town cavalry due to their hasty response, and more than 300 ancient town cavalry relied on their speed and sharp cavalry knives to cut a hole in a blink of an eye, and a large number of cavalry poured into the camp, outflanking the camp from the east and west. The first line of defense could not be blocked, and the remaining Slavs could only scatter as birds and beasts, and they fled in twos and threes, and the cavalry of the ancient town was also divided into countless small teams, killing the Slavic rebels on a large scale. Everything went well, and during the attack on the Chinese army's big tent, the Guzhen cavalry finally ran into a trace of trouble. There were many military tents in the camp, like stone piers that scattered the cavalry formation, but on the contrary, the infantry of Guaercha occupied the wide ground and formed a tight infantry formation. Many Slavic infantry had spears of more than two feet in their hands, and many scattered cavalry rushed to the front of the battle, all of which were poked into a hornet's nest by this spear. The fallen corpses and war horses were piled up at the intersection, causing great trouble to the follow-up soldiers and horses. This time it was a surprise attack on the Tver battalion, and the cavalry did not bring anything except food and necessary weapons, no bows and arrows, and could not give full play to the advantage of cavalry archery, and for a time the assault team was stopped by the Slavs here.

Gao Chongju came from behind, and when he saw that the periphery had been occupied, he nodded with satisfaction, and led two commanders to break into the camp, and several Slavs along the way still wanted to sneak attack, but they were all cut down to the ground by their own soldiers. When he arrived at the center of the camp, Gao Zhong saw many cavalry gathered together, all of them looked anxious, but they couldn't rush in. Some of the cavalry in a hurry wanted to set fire to the big tents around them, but there was an order in the army to keep this big camp as intact as possible, so that after the battle was over, it could also be repaired by making a big camp. Seeing this, Gao Chongzhi frowned, and commanded Mao Xiang to lean over with a calm face, flick the horsewhip, and said loudly, "What's the matter?" Why are they all stuck here? ”

"Back to the commander, the open space ahead was occupied by the Slavs, who formed a tight spear formation, and many of our brothers died at their hands. It's just that there are too many military tents around here, blocking the road, no, the brothers are rushing up" A soldier replied anxiously, his eyes still looking nervously inside, and from here you can still see the sound of fighting coming from inside. Mao Xiangda frowned, and hurriedly went back to report, "General Gao, the Slavs have formed a spear formation, using the surrounding military tents as cover, the road is narrow, and the brothers can't rush in." Or, order the burning of the nearby tent? ”

"No" Gao Pet directly vetoed this proposal, when the team came, the team practiced lightly, there was no thing to build a camp tent, this Slavic camp is a place to rest in the future, "Tell all the troops and horses, you must not set fire, at this time it is warm spring, the camp is dry, the wind is strong, once the fire can not be controlled, it is not only the Slavs who will burn." Moreover, we also need this big tent, otherwise, you let the brothers sleep on the grass later? We have been running for a long time, and we are sleepy and tired, and after this battle, we must have a good rest. ”

Mao Xiang was speechless, he also understood that what Gao Pet said was the truth, rubbing his hands, his face was full of eagerness, "Then what now?" Something must be done, otherwise the brothers will probably suffer a lot of casualties. ”

Gao Zhong snorted coldly, and as soon as the spear shook, the man jumped off the horse, came behind everyone, and shouted, "Everyone dismounts and forms eight assault formations." A bunch of fools, if you only know how to charge on horseback, don't you get off your horse and fight a war? Gao Zhong roared angrily, which can be regarded as waking up many people, and many ancient town cavalry soldiers reacted. Yes, this is not suitable for cavalry charges, but with infantry for assault, there is no problem at all. The cavalry of Guzhen have all undergone infantry training, so they are no strangers to the combat methods of infantry. Under the command of Gao Chong, soon the cavalry quickly dispersed, they turned over and dismounted, and found all kinds of shields, some found thick planks, some found round shields of the Slavs, and in an instant, more than a thousand cavalrymen turned into infantry. Although the infantry of Guaercha occupied the open space, it was not a complete infantry formation, and because of the large number of military tents, the open space was divided into many small open spaces, and the large infantry of the Slavs was also cut into six formations. Gao Zhong took the lead and led a team of 100 sharp knives to launch a fierce attack on the outermost Slavic infantry. The Slavs are armed with two spears, these tight spear formations are very effective against the cavalry, but when facing the infantry, they are a little weak, the soldiers slowly move forward with thick planks, most of the Slavs' spear heads are poked on the planks, waiting to get closer, the Slavs' spears have no advantage, Gao Zhong led the soldiers under his command to rush into the enemy formation, the cavalry knife played a melee advantage, chopping, stabbing, those Slavic soldiers with spears fell to the ground. At this time, the infantry formation was tight, people were close to each other, how to swing the two-zhang spear, on the other hand, the cavalry knife chopping was not affected, the blade was sharp, and those wooden gun handles could not be stopped at all.

Guaercha's eyes widened, and he finally fell into despair as several of the outer formations were crushed. There are pros and cons to everything, the spear formation has caused huge problems to the Orientals before, but also when facing hand-to-hand combat, the spear formation will also lose its advantage. The Easterners are really not simple, they made changes so quickly, the cavalry turned into infantry, and just a little change turned the situation around. The spear formation was collapsing, and the Slavic soldiers, who had lost hope, began to crumble, and the Mao Xiang had been waiting for an opportunity, and as soon as he saw the opponent's formation collapse, several hundred cavalry scattered. Half an hour later, the tight spear array was gone, and only the miserable voices of the Slavs were filled with murderous intent, like a demon god rushing towards the bearded Slavic man who was hunting in a cloak. Guaercha had already seen the bravery of Gao Pet, and hurriedly carried a broadsword to resist desperately, but where was he Gao Pet's opponent, the spear shook into a pear blossom, and a fatal shot was stabbed in the fly, Guaercha snorted and was stabbed to the ground.

After capturing the camp in the Tver direction, Gao Pet began to recuperate and did not launch an offensive in the direction of Gorod. However, Tirov and the others were not comfortable, because the pressure on them was even greater by the large army of Jerusha, and in just half a day, Jerusha accelerated the speed of the attack, and 10,000 Mongol servants and 5,000 soldiers of the Dingguo Army launched a fierce attack on the southern part of Gorod. There were only more than 4,000 Slavs stationed in the southern highlands, and they were besieged to the bottom, where were the Slavs opponents, not to mention, when defending the south, there was no geographical advantage, the Mongols were good at horse archery, and they continued to throw along the perimeter, which brought endless trouble to the Slavic soldiers. In the evening, a group of black-armored soldiers began to launch a frontal attack with heavy shields, countless sharp spears were hidden behind the shields, this heavy offensive formation, although the speed was very slow, but it was like a torrent of steel to crush the past, and the battle lasted for two hours, and by the end of the day, the entire southern battalion defense line collapsed, and the defeated Slavs fled in all directions like crazy goats.

The news of the collapse of the southern camp soon reached the Gorod Castle, and Tirov's face was cold, and Rosh and the others were also dull, no longer as arrogant as before. The so-called Gorod defense line, like a joke, in the face of the powerful offensive of the Easterners, it didn't even hold it for three days, and the periphery couldn't be defended, could Gorod City be able to defend it? Rosh is very unconfident, even Tilov doesn't have much confidence, Liao Sha Noel is hunched up, only a few days, he is like a teenager old, "Tilov, what to do now?" The troops and horses in the direction of Tver were almost completely wiped out, and the southern battalion only escaped with 2,000 remnants, and now we have less than 8,000 troops in our hands, and it is really too difficult to hold back the Easterners with this little force. ”

Tirov suddenly showed a mocking smile and blocked the Orientals? No, he didn't want to resist at all, there was only a dead end to stay in Gorod, the road in the direction of Tver was cut off, and no progress was made on Vladimir's side, the Easterners had no worries, and nearly 50,000 troops surrounded Gorod, but Gorod still went to the previous geographical advantage, and he couldn't rely on 8,000 remnants, so what was there to fight with others? Tirov felt that even if he split everyone in half and turned them into three heads and six arms, he might not be able to beat the Orientals. Without Tver, without Vladimir, Gorod at this time was like a chicken rib, "Give the order, put more torches at midnight at the head of the city, and after the three-way drum, everyone will flee for their lives along the gentle slope of the heights." ”

In Tilov's voice, a kind of decline was heard, it was the feeling of the twilight of the hero, the collapse of confidence. Rosh's face was stiff, he couldn't say anything, and he ran for his life, but he didn't expect that he, Rosh, who hailed himself as a warrior, would one day run away like a lost dog. After nightfall, the rumbling war drums sounded in the direction of Gorod, and the city was full of torches, illuminating the night as if it were day, and the Mongols outside the city were startled, thinking that the Slavs had launched a night attack, but after waiting for a long time, they did not see the slightest figure. Jerusha was also alarmed, he took the clairvoyant mirror and watched for a long time, but he didn't see any clues, but Jerusha didn't dare to sleep, for fear that there was a deception.

The next day, the city was still empty.

Looking at this empty small city, the thick bluestone still exuded a cold chill, and Yerusha's eyes were black, on the one hand, he was angry, and on the other hand, he was embarrassed. Under the great advantage, he let a group of lambs to be slaughtered run away, and after so many years of fighting, it was the first time that he was used as a monkey. As soon as the commanders entered Gorod, they searched in all directions, and now half an hour had passed, and one by one they returned to the castle dejectedly. It should have been a happy thing to recapture Gorod, but these high-ranking generals in the army all have bitter faces, how can they smile? One of them said with a disgraced face, "General, all the Slavic barbarians in the city have fled, and after asking the people, it seems that they have begun to retreat at the end of the day. ”

"That is to say, the drum is at its loudest, tsk, this group of bearded people has even begun to learn to be clever" Jerusha's face was very ugly, in fact, the Slavs' methods were not clever, how could they really be a little underestimated, and they did not prevent the Slavs from retreating to the north. Jerusha and several commanders got together to discuss what to do next, and there was a sound of footsteps outside, and before the person arrived, he remembered the rough voice, and then Jerusha's face became even more ugly. was originally a stable thing, but in addition to the accident, it must not be damaged by Gao Changke. Sure enough, after Gao Zhong knew the whole story, he didn't have anything good to say at all, and as soon as he entered the castle, he teased, "Wild donkey, your eyes are not very good, you can't even look at a group of bearded people." If you really want to talk about it, you are still too bold, if Gao, hearing that group of barbarians beating the drum, he would have led people to fight over, a group of lambs to be slaughtered, and dared to beat the drum to provoke, it was simply impatient. ”

Yerusha argues with Gao Zhong on weekdays, and no one obeys anyone, but now it's okay, and he was caught by Gao Chong with his pigtails. But he hasn't defended himself, although Gao Chong spoke rudely, but he really didn't say it wrong, he wanted to replace it with Gao Changke, and with his temperament, he would have sent someone to run to the city to spread wilderness. Gao Pet is such a person, he is very arrogant, and the last thing he is afraid of is the provocation of others, "Hurry up, if you have something to say, no matter how cynical you are, don't blame a certain family for turning their faces and not recognizing people." ”

Yerusha was really uncomfortable, but Gao Chong's side had just killed thousands of beards, and he was fortunate to let go of a group of bearded people when he had the advantage. Although Gao Pet likes to tease, he is not a person who does not know the general situation, seeing that Yerusha's face is very ugly, he smiled wryly, and found a seat to sit down, "Okay, I won't stimulate you." But what do you think about this, should you just go back and continue the attack on Vladimir, or something else? ”

Gao Zhong knows that he is not good at large-scale marching planning, so he will not make his own decisions. Yelusha had been thinking about this question before, and when he heard Gao Zhong ask, he frowned and said, "Although we have won successive battles on the periphery, there are still nearly 10,000 Slavic remnants near Gorod, and these people are still alive and well, if you don't solve these people, it will be a hidden danger after all." On Vladimir's side, there is no need to be in a hurry, with the soldiers and horses there, it is impossible to storm Vladimir, but it is absolutely no problem to protect yourself. I think we should destroy the remnants of Tirov's army first, cut off the troubles, the remnants of the Slavic army are mainly foot soldiers, we have the advantage of cavalry, as long as the speed is fast enough, we can catch up with them. Before you came, you had already discussed that the most likely place to go if you fled north from Gorod was Cahors, and that if your cavalry crossed to the south of Cahors by noon to-morrow, we were 100% sure that we would destroy this beard. ”

Gao Pet thought about it, clapped his hands, turned his head and smiled, "Okay, since that's the case, then without further ado, Gao will go back and arrange, but your side has been marching and fighting for days, and now you have to march immediately, can the soldiers hold on?" ”

Yerusha rolled his eyes, and several other commanders widened their eyes even more, and one of them stood up and said angrily, "General Gao, you can rest assured of this, as long as the cavalry brothers can stop Lao Maozi, our people will definitely be able to slaughter them." Isn't it just going to be an army, and if anyone says they're tired, it's not going to be a leader." The conductor had a notoriously fiery temper, and Gao Zhong was stunned when he heard these words. Obviously, Jerusha's gang was stimulated by the events of the night, and they were holding back their strength to take revenge. Gao Zhong didn't say anything more, shrugged his shoulders and left the castle. As soon as Gao Zhong left, Yelusha stood up and glanced coldly at several commanders under his command, "You have to go all out this time, if there is any errand, don't come back, I don't want to be looked down upon by that high barbarian." Hmph, if it weren't for the time to employ people, I would have been eager to throw all of you into the pen. ”

Several commanders can also be regarded as guilty of meritorious service, and when they remembered being tricked by the Slavs, they all blushed and shouted angrily, "Don't worry, the general, we are no worse than anyone else, and the last general will personally lead the troops, even if the legs and stomachs are pumped, they will catch up with the beard." If you mess it up this time, the whole army won't be able to raise your head in the future, they are all soldiers, don't steam steamed buns to fight for breath, grandma's, why are all good things to be occupied by the tall generals?

As soon as Gao Chong's side led the cavalry down the gentle slope, the Gorod side sent several troops and horses, mainly infantry, running forward one by one. Like several commanders, countless ordinary soldiers are also unwilling, good military merits, just run away from under the eyes, who can be willing, what is even more angry is that everyone is still afraid to sleep by the sound of drums, and they panic when they think of it.

The people on the Gorod side were in a bad mood, and Tirov's mood was not too good, although he withdrew from the Gorod Heights unharmed, but the future was still confused. Since the Battle of the Rogda Hills, the Orientals have swept through the northern Istrian Highlands, and now most of the cities are occupied by the Orientals, and some of the principality nobles have also taken refuge in the Orientals. It can be said that the Istrian highlands no longer belong to Kipros, and they fled here, not to return to their homeland, but to a group of invaders. Expect those nobles to defect and give up the city automatically? Tirov would never have dreamed of this, the nobles surrendered only because they believed that the Easterners would dominate Kipros, and in fact the Easterners were now dominating the Istrian heights and controlling the dominance. If the Gorod army had come to the north in a victorious manner, it would have been possible to gain the support of others, but unfortunately, now it is a group of lost dogs who have lost the battle. Therefore, when Rosh proposed to persuade the nobles of the western city, he directly vetoed it, "I know what you think, but it is impossible to get those nobles to accept us." The reason why those nobles did this was to see the general trend, and with our current status as a defeated army, what should they say to move others? ”
