Yang Zaixing frowned tightly, he couldn't see the slightest joy, in his mind, this was a good opportunity to hit the Germans hard, as long as the stone bridge was blocked and a large number of Germanic cavalry were trapped on the north bank, this elite cavalry could be completely annihilated, but he didn't expect that the other commander's commander was so smart that he immediately ordered a retreat. Although he was unwilling, Yang Zaixing did not give the order to cross the stone bridge, and if he missed the opportunity, he missed it, and now the most important thing is to exterminate the remnants of the North Bank, in short, eat as much as he can, "Divided into six teams, two teams of chain horses, one team for heavy cavalry, and the remaining three teams assembled at the stone bridge to prevent the Germans from rushing over to rescue." ”

Five thousand cavalry, of which 3,000 were the most elite Guzhen cavalry, the rest were the most Mongols, and some Germans, under the leadership of the Guzhen cavalry, this huge cavalry quickly turned into six teams. The two bands of horses quickly assembled and began to charge the Germanic cavalry that remained on the northern shore. The retreat was blocked, and the Germanic cavalry left on the north bank had panicked, and many blue shield cavalry and ancient town cavalry had fought each other, and they knew that the chain horses were powerful, so they gave up the remnants of Dulongyuan's troops and wanted to flee southwest along the Kakiwell River, but as soon as they opened up a distance, they saw a cavalry in front of them, this cavalry was in a tight formation, and people were holding a dark heavy cavalry. Boom, some people's heads are about to explode, and the front is also blocked, just want to turn around and go back desperately, a rain of arrows fell, the rain of arrows is very dense, even people and horses accompanied by a tragic neigh, falling in pieces.

There are interceptions in front and chasing soldiers in the back, and now they are really in a desperate situation. There was no hope of escape, and the ferocity of some Germanic cavalry was forced out, they restrained their horses, brandished their spears and roared loudly, "Brothers, turn your head and fight with the Orientals, one life for another, we will not lose." Let the Orientals also know that we are not easy to provoke, kill .... Kill them ...."

Someone took the lead, and the remnants of the Germanic army began to assemble, and they did not attack the heavy cavalry, and in their opinion, to hedge with the heavy cavalry, they were doing a fearless death. But they don't have the brains of Bysil and don't know how to deal with it, and it is the stupidest choice for them to concentrate their forces and hedge against the chain of horses. The chain horse seems to be loose, but the chain is linked, the formation is opened, the range of control is wider, and the lethality is also greater. The speed of the cavalry was so fast and unusually fast that there was not enough time to think, and in an instant, two torrents rushed together, and the result can be imagined. The Germans wanted to fight hard, and when they really rushed up, they realized how ridiculous it was. The iron rope swept, the cavalry knife swept by, the war horse was hung up, the cavalry knife harvested life with a cold glow, and the cavalry knife was too sharp, obviously the cavalry hedged, but it was like harvesting straw. After entering the chain horse formation, there is a chain to harvest and block, and it is impossible to rush at all, on the contrary, the chain horse can attack head-on. This is a battle without suspense, it seems that the opportunity is equal, but it is actually a one-sided slaughter, with a chain of horses and heavy cavalry, plus Du Longyuan led hundreds of remnants to help, the remnants of the Germanic army that fell on the north bank of the Kaqiwell River were swallowed up little by little, and when the last Germanic cavalry fell to the ground, this cavalry battle that shocked the Holy Roman Empire finally came to an end.

With tears in his eyes, the pain that tore through his heart, he fell to his knees in the river, unable to get up for a long time. The corpses of warriors floated on the surface of the river, but they could only be moved by the current. The autumn wind swept through, and the land was desolate, and the living were shivering during the harvest season. Bysel understood that the defeat of the Khakiwell River would directly affect the entire battle for the Istrian Heights, and the most certain battle would be a failure, and the blow to morale would be immeasurable.

In the battle of the Khakiwell River, the two sides gathered their forces and surrounded the stone bridge, and the elite was exhausted, and in the end, both sides were defeated, and the Dulongyuan department was almost completely annihilated, and the Bysel department also paid the lives of more than 4,000 warriors. It seems that the casualties are equal, but in fact, Bysel has lost more, Du Longyuan's department is mainly infantry, but Bysel's command is all elite knights, counting, it is definitely a fiasco, cavalry and infantry are exchanged for one, and this deal is lost to Grandma's house. Bysil did not retreat directly, but held the southern part of the stone bridge, the main force camped with the birch forest to rest, the autumn breeze did not stop, bringing a burst of desolation, and the living Germans leaned together in twos and threes, their faces full of loneliness and fear. The lethality brought by the chain horse is too shocking, this is a group of devils who kill living beings, on the north shore, those brothers who want to fight hard, they don't even have a chance to fight, if they meet again, how to deal with this cavalry? Heavy cavalry in front, infantry protection, vertical and horizontal cutting, light cavalry roundabout shooting, the Eastern cavalry has always followed this routine, but knowing what the other party is doing, it just can't be stopped. Strength can sometimes be overwhelming. Bysil once suggested that Dolle also train a chain of horses, but after tossing for a long time, there was no way to do it, many people were killed and injured in the training, and what was even worse was that the chain mail and war horse armor used by the Eastern cavalry could not be created, and the southern blacksmith family specially sent someone to study it, although it can also prevent the armor with the same effect, but the weight has increased a lot, not to mention, the huge cost alone is not something that the Holy Empire can bear. However, from this point, it can also be seen how thick the Eastern Empire is, and it can raise so many elite cavalry, and with the family background of the Holy Empire, it is enough to raise 5,000 people.

After sunset, Lothair finally reached the vicinity of the Khakiville River with his main force, and when he heard the battle on the north bank of the river, the army fell silent. This time, Lothair did not blame Bysel, this battle was not a mistake in Bysel's command, but the other side's reinforcements came too quickly. If he really wants to blame, it is also the responsibility of his Lothair, if the main army can quickly approach the Khakiwell River, maybe it will be their own side that wins. Patting Bysel on the shoulder, Lothair said with relief, "Lord Bysel doesn't have to blame himself, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and no one can be invincible." What's more, we didn't gain anything, at least we knew the location of the opponent's main cavalry. Now that most of the Eastern cavalry is concentrated near the Kaqiville River, the first-line cavalry strength of Napsk and Vilnius must be very weak, and if we take the opportunity to attack the city of Psk, the Easterners may not be able to stop us. ”

Lothair's life has been full of ups and downs, and the winds and waves he has experienced are unknown, and a defeat is nothing at all. Just a little regret, he quickly regained his composure, the Holy Empire wants to seize the Istrian Heights, the biggest obstacle is the city of Psk and Vilnius, if you can't take these two cities, don't want to get involved in the city of Kyiv. Psk City and Messouda City are 100 miles apart, and if the time is right, it is not impossible to raid Pske City. Lothair's words also made Suggus and others shine, although he was not happy with Lothair's personality, but for Lothair's wisdom, Sugers still admired Lothair's wisdom very much, and only this old fox could quickly find the most valuable place in the chaotic situation. The capture of Psk City can pinn down the city of Mesouda and Vilnius in the east, the distance between Messouda and Vilnius from north to south is more than 100 miles, and the cavalry can quickly pass through and attack the periphery of Kiev City, which is a veritable strategic point.

Bysil packed up his mood, and when he thought of the Germanic warriors who died on the north shore, he felt a kind of anger burning, "Your Majesty, leave the task of raiding Psk City to me, let the minister make meritorious contributions, and the minister promises to take Pske City within the specified time." ”

Lothair looked at Bysel thoughtfully, in fact, Lothair already had a candidate in mind, he felt that Suggs was the best candidate, Suggs fought bravely, although he lacked some flexibility and wisdom, but his direct style of play, raiding Psk City was the most suitable. But now that Bysil personally asked, he had to think about it, and before Lothair could agree, a red-robed man next to him had already stood up and objected, "Lord Bysil has just led a fierce battle, and he must be very tired, so it is better to leave the matter of the raid on Pske City to us." Your Majesty, since coming to the Istrian Highlands, the Church Knights have not been able to do anything, and I hope that Your Majesty will be fulfilled. ”

The red-robed man's name was Jorkoren, a cardinal of Hohenzollern Cathedral, the most powerful warrior of the Church Order, who was made the Templar by Pope Gregory VII and commanded the Red Knights. What Jorkoren said was the Tao, but Suggs and Bysel and the others all showed a hint of disgust, this Jorkoren was really too blind, and really thought that the church could do whatever it wanted. Before Bysil could express his dissatisfaction, Suggs had already sneered with a blue face, "Tsk, how noble the knight is, he is the right-hand man of His Majesty the Pope, and those dirty work are tiring, so there must be no need to trouble the knight master." ”

When Suggs, Pertenn and others attacked Hohenzollern, they were not less angry with the church, and how could they give Jorkoren a good look. Suggs's words, soft and thorny, a knight chief, a mouthful of His Majesty the Pope, these words fell into Lothair's ears like eating flies. The Holy Empire and even the Eastern Roman Empire are all full of ecclesiastical forces, and the Church not only has its own Knights, but the Empire's own Knights are also mixed with the people of the Church. In this respect, Lothair still had some envy of the Orientals, who happened to run into Kiporos, who were full of holes, and directly took the opportunity to trample the church under their feet. Knowing that Suggs was provoking, but Lothair was happy to be used, and he didn't want Yorkorn to go to Psk City to suppress the strength of the church, which was the unanimous idea of the imperial nobles, although it couldn't be suppressed at the moment, but it couldn't give credit to the church, coughing twice, Lothair stroked his beard and showed a kind smile, "Although the battle on the Khakiwell River is basically over, the Eastern Cavalry is not far to the north, and if there is a large-scale contact, it will have to rely on the help of the Red Robe Knights, so it is better to ask Jorkorn to stay." As for the city of Ps, leave it to Lord Bysel, who is a brave Germanic subject, and he will certainly live up to his mission and take the city of Pske. ”

Lothair's words were very satisfying, and he couldn't find the slightest problem, but he was scolding openly and secretly in his words. Sugus whispered to the old fox, but there was an obvious evil smile on his face, and Bysel also looked at Jorkoren with a strange expression. Feeling the teasing gazes around him, Jorkoren was already scolding in his heart, but he couldn't say anything. Bysel was a brave Germanic, and fools know this, and Lothair still said it seriously, isn't this a waste of tongue and full of nonsense? But who is Lothair, the famous old Saxon fox, who will talk nonsense for no reason? That's scolding him for eating inside and out, as a Germanic citizen, but he is desperate for the Pope. If it weren't for his grace, Jorkoren would have wanted to walk away, like a clown in front of Lothair. But Bysel ignored Yorkoren, and spoke out at the right time, "Thank you for your kindness, and your ministers will live up to their mission and take Psk City in one fell swoop." ”

Jorkoren was choked with disgust, and then the group discussed something, but he didn't listen at all, and as soon as the discussion was over, he hurried away. Sugri and Bysel are also a pair of enemies, but when it comes to the church, they still work together, and over the years, the church has become more and more excessive, and the hand is getting longer and longer, if there is no checks and balances, I am afraid that the Holy Empire will become a vassal of the church sooner or later.

After receiving the task, Baisel hurriedly ordered his troops and horses, and took advantage of the darkness to go west, along the Khakiwell River, and at the speed of cavalry, he walked out of the Khakiwell River valley three hours later. As the dawn broke through the clouds and the sky brightened, Baisel ordered his men to halt and hide in the largest mountain forest to the west. At this time, the Khakiwell River valley was still quiet, and in order to hold Yang Zaixing's main cavalry, Lothair gathered heavy troops on the south bank and made a posture to cross the river again. Yang Zaixing was also deeply afraid that the Germans would pounce again, so he ordered all the troops to be on standby, scouts shuttled back and forth, and frequently delivered military reports, but after waiting for a long time, the Germans still showed no signs of attacking. Yang Zaixing knew that Lothair was a person, and instinctively felt that something was wrong, Du Longyuan had a lot better health after a day of recuperation, and he also accompanied Yu Xiaochen to study the current situation, "General Yang, looking at the posture of the Germans, they are dragging us, I'm afraid their real intention may not be the city of Meisuda, according to the usual method of surprise attacks of the Germanic cavalry, will it be to attack Psk City or Vilnius City?" ”

Yang Zaixing has long had this kind of consideration, this kind of method of cultivating the plank road and secretly Chen Cang, he has not used it less before, if this is the case, he will not be too worried. Because His Royal Highness has already responded to this situation, if the Germans really move these two cities, they will definitely not get any benefits in the end, "Don't worry too much at the moment, Concubine Xiao personally sits in Psk City, and General Yelu leads the cavalry to cruise between Vilnius and Psk City, and the Germans can't get any benefits." We now have to guard against the southwest, and send scouts to the southwest to search the riverbank to prevent the Germanic cavalry from bypassing us and sneaking up on us. ”

Although the cavalry under his command is brave and good at fighting, but in the face of two-sided attacks, it will definitely not please him, Yang Zaixing is not the kind of blind and arrogant person, his goal is to implement the strategy formulated by the city of Kiev and maintain the entire Kiev defense line, rather than pursuing to fight with the enemy. Of course, for the sake of prudence, Yang Zaixing still sent a few guards to send a letter to Psk City. Two days later, the letter fell into Xiao Zhiyun's hands, seeing the content of the letter, she smiled slightly, her expression was indifferent, Yang Zaixing was just suspicious, but Xiao Zhiyun dared to assert that the Germans must have come to Psk City. Lothair's old fox is cunning, but his judgment of the battlefield situation is still lacking. Sometimes one city and one place is not necessarily an advantage, and it is likely to become a burden.

There are many people who are following the battle on the Khakiwell River, and in the direction of Yeelinburg to the north, Fayunna has been keeping an eye on the movement here. When the news of the defeat of the Germanic cavalry came, the corners of Fawina's mouth turned up, and he cursed the old fox. Fortunately, it was not the evil of Lothair, otherwise it would have been the Knights of the Birds. With the development of the current situation, Fayunna felt more and more that he was wise not to move, and Quasimotu and other Danish nobles were also a little happy, "Your Royal Highness, fortunately, you are very foresighted, otherwise we would have suffered this time." The Red Robe Knights and the Blue Shield Knights acted together, and they actually planted a big heel. ”
