On June 29, 363 in the continental calendar, the Parmis Army and the Reynosk Army were still in a stalemate on the outskirts of Donetsk, and as time passed, the situation became more and more unfavorable for the Parmis Army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Reinforcements from the Reynolds army continued to arrive in this direction, and the Pamis lost the cover of their own dragon knights, and the camp continued to be harassed by the opposing dragon knights. The Renoskes blockaded the entire riverbank, and the Parmis began to run out of drinking water, although their other supplies could last for a month.

"Make up your mind to break through, Grez, my Excellency General." Yoneyama said.

"Where is the location of Odros?" Glatz asked, covering his forehead and lowering his head.

"I don't know, we don't have dragon knights, and we can't send scouts safely, where do you let me know where Odros is?" Yoneyama spread his hands.

While the Parmis were at a loss, their opponents were steadily awaiting their next move. General Timoshenko came to the front, his troops pinned the Grez division to Donetsk according to the plan, while another general, Budyonny, drove Yoneyama's troops into this prepared trap.

At this moment, the comparison of the forces of the two sides is as follows. The two 10,000 cavalry commanders of the Parmis Army still had 8,200 cavalry and almost equal numbers of infantry. As for Reynosk, General Timoshenko originally commanded 15 winged Husa Khogvi and 30 infantry Khrugvi, and then the tsar transferred 30 infantry Khrugvi of the Janissary Army to him one after another. At this time, there were still 10 wingers of the Timoshenko division, Husa Khorugvi, and 31 infantry Khorugwe. And 19 of the 24 wingers of the Budyonny Division, Husa Horugwe, currently maintain sufficient combat effectiveness. In total, the Lenoskes had about 14,000 cavalry and 19,000 infantry.

"Dear Semyon Sergeyevich, I have successfully completed the planned task, when are we going to get rid of those Pamis on the other side of the river?" General Budyonny asked.

"Dear Grigory Mikhailovich, don't be in a hurry, let's wait, the Pamis will soon be ready to break through, and when we disarm those infantry, it will be too late to pursue the Pamis rabbits."

"I don't think so, if the Parmis can hold out for another half a day, Odros's troops will be able to come and join them, and then it will be difficult for us to gnaw this bone again. In my opinion, we should continue to attack them, and now we have the advantage of forces, and I am willing to lead by example. Budyonny twitched his horse slightly.

"No one doubts your bravery, Gregory, and even at this age, I'm sure you can kill a Pamiswan rider alone, but we'll continue to follow the tactics of the young man." Timoshenko said. Suddenly, he reined in his horse and squinted his eyes at the Parmis camp. "The Pamis can't help it, and of course I can't help it."

As Timoshenko saw, the Parmis began to prepare for a breakthrough. The siege network under Timoshenkob originally adhered to the principle of encirclement and one, leaving a weak defensive area in the east for the Pamis to choose to break through. Grez also chose this direction, and his plan was to withdraw as many troops as possible to Pincus, and then hold Pinkers and wait for reinforcements from within Pamis.

The cavalry of Pamis easily rushed past several interception positions set up by the opposing infantry, but their infantry was intercepted by the wings of Budyonny's wing, Husa, who arrived later. So, at noon on June 29, 8,000 cavalry of the Parmis Army broke through and withdrew from Pinks, while the remaining infantry surrendered to the Reynosk Army after a brief resistance.

Two hours after the breakthrough of the Pamis, General Budyonny also led the Wing Husa in pursuit, and Timoshenko handed over all the remaining Wing Husa Horugvi to this excellent cavalryman, a total of 29 Khrugvi and 14,400 horsemen. He himself was stationed in place, screening and regrouping the captured 8,000 Parmis infantry.

At the same time, Odros had received a report from his scouts, and the friendly forces on the Donetsk side had been routed. And Voroshilov, although he promised not to attack him for 2 days, his vanguard followed unhurriedly not far from his back. Odros could not take risks easily, and if he rashly attacked Timoshenko in Donetsk, then if he could not settle the battle today, he would be flanked by the other side tomorrow.

Odros now had 7,200 cavalry and 12,600 infantry, and he chose to bypass Donetsk and continue east towards Pinks. His plan now was to first reunite with Grez's forces, and then decide whether to counterattack or retreat. Odros still believes that it was Grace's command mistakes that have caused his side to be in a very disadvantageous position, but he is still willing to cooperate as much as possible at this time to turn the tide of the battle and make his colleagues who have always excluded him bow to him.

Surprisingly, Timoshenko of Donetsk turned a blind eye to Odros' army, and only sent some scouts to follow him from a distance, and did not take any other action. This relieved Odros's nervous mood a little, and he thought he would be thwarted by the other party. When his troops were basically moving to the northeast of Donetsk, Timoshenko also sent him an emissary.

"General Timoshenko has received an order from His Majesty the Tsar, and he will not attempt to engage your Excellency today, so please rest assured that Your Excellency will hurry." The messenger said to Odros. After saying this, the messenger did not care whether Odros believed it or not, and immediately took his leave.

An hour after the sun set, General Voroshilov also came to Donetsk.

"His Majesty the Tsar will arrive later." He informed his colleagues about this time.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the two generals saw the Tsar's car. Ivan IV stepped down from his chariot and was accompanied by Misoli and Kutuzov, and after the two generals saluted the Tsar, Ivan IV signaled them to lead him to the Great Tent of the Chinese Army and continue to discuss the next plan of action.

"Then let's ask Mikhail Alekseevich to summarize our gains and losses in this battle in the past few days." Ivan IV said this after taking his seat.

"Okay, then I'll go over below." Kutuzov stood up and nodded to the others, "According to our previous plan, the first thing to do is to induce the Odros division to attack Nizhny Novgorod and avoid its convergence with the Grez division. At this step, we underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Odros Division, so we suffered losses beyond expectations, but fortunately, General Voroshilov collected the defeated army in time, so that we could still proceed according to the original plan, or the fake drama was more effective. Subsequently, our spies' disruption of Yoneyamabe was also frustrated to a certain extent, so that the original optimal plan was abandoned, but the second plan was executed well, causing the enemy the expected losses. It was precisely because of this that General Timoshenko and General Budyonny were able to successfully defeat the enemy and force them to break through and retreat. On the whole, we have basically achieved the goal of the campaign. ”

"But the enemy still has considerable strength, if the enemy's three thousand cavalry commanders join forces, they still have 30,000 troops, half of which are cavalry, and our army can only barely reach twice the strength of the other side at present." Voroshilov reminded.

"Then dear Mikhail, you have arranged so many tricks for the enemy Oderos before, can it work?" Ivan IV asked.

"That's not something I can fully control, Your Majesty. There is nothing stronger in the world than the human heart, and the weakest thing in the world is the human heart; There is nothing nobler in the world than the human heart, and there is nothing ugliest in the world than the human heart; There is nothing simpler in the world than the human heart, and there is nothing more complicated in the world than the human heart. Figuring out the psychology of an enemy is not an easy task, and I am not 100% sure. However, everything I can do has already been done, and what the next effect will be depends entirely on the choice of the Commander of the Parmiswan Riders. "Kutuzov owes himself to the Tsar.

On the evening of 1 July, Grez and Yesan were overtaken by Budyonny on the way to defeat, and the two sides engaged in an engagement 50 fatales from Pinkers. The Parmis were tired and hungry, their weapons were badly depleted, and their morale was low. Grez knew very well that there was absolutely no chance of victory in a head-on confrontation with a superior enemy at this time, but if he fled without a fight, the result would only be worse. As a result, he could only reorganize his army with Yoneyama and turn back to fight with the other party.

In the open wilderness, the battle between the two cavalry did not have many tricks. Both sides extended their formations as much as possible to avoid being flanked by the opposing side. In this case, Budyonny, who has a superior number of numbers, is even more advantageous. He may choose to spread out a longer frontal formation to outflank the enemy; It is also possible to draw a part of the troops as a reserve to give the enemy a lethal flank assault at a critical moment. In the actual battle, Budyonny chose the more secure latter option.

The bows and arrows of the Pamisian cavalry had been exhausted in the days of fighting, so this time they only fired one round of cavalry and began to surprise the Wing Husa. The cavalry formed two loose horizontal formations and headed directly for Budyonny's troops. At a distance of 20 fats, the lancet knives of the Winged Husa greeted them overwhelmingly, inflicting more damage on the Pamis than before.

The formations of the two sides soon collided with each other, and the neighing of the horses and the thumping of metal mingled, but they still could not hide the shouts of the humans. Grez was still brandishing his chains and rushing left and right, and it was difficult for the Renoskes to get close to him. On the other side, Yoneyama's spearmanship is also in full swing, and few Wing Husa can walk in front of him for five rounds. However, the personal bravery of the Captain of the Ten Thousand Cavalry has done nothing to help the overall situation. More of the Pamis cavalry were cut down from their horses by the Wing Husa, and in just half an hour after the battle began, the Parmis lost more than 2,000 men.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Budyonny himself led the reserve to charge the Parmis from the flank, which was the last nail to be put in the coffin of the Parmis. Grez and Yoneshan soon found themselves completely surrounded by enemy forces on their flanks, and Budyonny skillfully outflanked both flanks. The dying resistance of the Pamis was instantly wiped out in front of the fresh forces of the Renoskes.

Just as Budyonny was about to kill the Parmis once and for all, a herald approached him.

"His Majesty the Tsar orders you to retreat at once." The herald said.

"Why is that? I'm about to win. Budyonny's beard shook.

"The Odros is only 1 fata away from your back, and you don't have time to destroy the enemy in front of you before he arrives."

"Well, let's hope Mikhail's plan doesn't fail."

So the Pamis saw a very strange scene - when they saw that their side was about to be completely dumpled by the other side, the horn of the retreat of the Reynosk army sounded. Budyonny's command was still quite in place, and he didn't leave any flaws for the other side. After throwing the last round of throwing knives, the Winghusa disengaged from the Pamis. The Parmis were also exhausted and incapable of pursuing the enemy.

Half an hour later, Grez and Yoneshan, who had just finished reorganizing their ranks, saw the military flag of Odros. In a few moments, they met their comrades in Odros's main ranks. Compared with the embarrassing situation of the own side, the Oderos Department can be said to be fully equipped and energetic.

"Looks like you've escaped." Odros said to the two captains.

"Indeed, we fought our way back to the enemy, and you were always late." Yoneyama shot back hatefully.

Grez stretched out his hand to stop Yoneyama's continued outburst and said, "At least I'm still the nominal Supreme Commander for now. ”

"Indeed, Lord Greze, should I return to my old station? Or escort you guys back to Pincus? Odros asked, smiling.

"Let's go back to Pinks first." Grez pressed Yoneyama and replied calmly.

"Follow your orders, Acting General." After Odros finished speaking, he instructed his herald to pass on the order.

The Parmis army joined forces, and Grez and Yoneyama's team were arranged to walk in the middle. The reason given by Odros was that the friendly troops were already very tired, and of course he had to protect them well. But to others, it looks like a victor escorting a group of defeated captives.

"How can you tolerate him doing that?" Yoneyama whispered to Grez angrily.

"Bear with me for now, and we'll do it when we get back to Pinkers." Grace closed his eyes and recuperated, and then he didn't say anything more, and Yoneyama saw this, so he had no choice but to give up.

The Parmis returned to Pinkers in the early hours of 2 July, and before the battle began, the three 10,000 cavalry commanders had commanded a total of 75,000 troops, and now only 26,000 remained. On the afternoon of 2 July, a military meeting was held among the officers of the Parmis of a thousand cavalry commanders and above. Oderos intended to use this to pressure Gracez to hand over command of the Southern Front to himself. It was not entirely unreasonable for him to do so, for Grace and Yoneyama had lost almost their entire army after losing the enemy's battle, and they should have resigned in the strict sense of responsibility for the defeat; Second, now his strength is the most complete, and he has the strength to make the other two 10,000 cavalry commanders who only have some remnants bow their heads. However, Grez refused Odros's request on the grounds that he could not step down without the king's order. The two sides parted unhappily.

Odros's original intention was nothing more than to take this opportunity to vent to Grez and Yoneyama the evil anger that they usually ostracized, and believed that he could completely turn the tide of the war after having full command, and had no intention of falling into the trap against the other two. However, his aggressive approach made Grace feel threatened, and he and Yoneyama feared that Odros would take the opportunity to blame them for the defeat, and that Grez believed that the main reason for his defeat was that Odros did not obey his control.

As a result, Grez and Yoneyama's guards attacked Odros's residence that night and imprisoned him. Odros was writing to the king to report the situation to Lubata and seeking reinforcements from the southern Parmis army. This half-written letter convinced Grez and Yoneyama that Odros wanted to frame them against Arslang I, so they also sent a letter to the Dragon Knight to Rubata to accuse Odros of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country and causing the defeat. Of course, many of the seemingly inexplicable actions of the Renoskes before became evidence of Odros's collaboration with the enemy.

The Lenolsk army did not immediately advance on Pinks, they first regained Verkhniy Novgorod. Subsequently, Kutuzov arranged for spies to enter Pinks and spread rumors to Odros's subordinates: "Your Excellency Odros has been secretly killed by Grez and Yoneshan, and they want to frame him for collaborating with the enemy, and then annex his subordinates." ”

The Captain of the Parmis Horse had a part of his own soldiers, recruited from his own territory, and the number was usually a few hundred horsemen or a thousand horsemen, who were more loyal to the Captain himself than to the king. When Odros's fellow soldiers heard the rumors, they asked Gracez to see his immediate superiors, which of course Grace refused, and even arrested their Thousand Cavalry Commanders and several Hundred Cavalry Commanders, and placed the entire Guards in confinement. This further confirmed the rumors of the Renoskes that Grez was ready to kill all of Odros's personal guards and annex the rest of them.

On the night of 8 July, Odros's own soldiers rioted, and they attacked the prison and freed their Captain Wan and other imprisoned comrades. They fought the forces of Grez and Yoneshan in the city, and Odros's plan was to return to his large army and then force the other two horsemen to surrender.

However, Grez had already received an order from Rubata to dismiss Odros and escort him back to Rubata to face the king's trial. When Odros saw the decree that Grez presented to him in person, he was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted on the spot. The two sides immediately stalemate, and it was difficult for Odros's soldiers to trust Grez and the others at this time.

"Comrades, are we going to deliver our beloved chief into the hands of his political enemies once again? Can't you see that all this is a conspiracy of the other side? Shall we watch our commander fall into the hands of a thief and bury our own lives when they arbitrarily arrest and imprison a captain without obtaining convincing evidence, and then make false accusations against the faint king of Lubata? I'd rather die heroically than be sent to the gallows! Such a voice rang out among Odros's personal soldiers.

"That's right!"

"We can't be at their mercy!"

"Protect Lord Odros from here." The cavalry echoed.

So, about 500 of Odros's personal guards cavalry, escorting their superiors, broke through Yoneyama's interception and left Pinks. Yoneyama led his troops in close pursuit of them for 10 fata, and then ran into the battalion's wing Husa and had to retreat to Pinkis.

When Odros woke up, his men were surrounding him. He stood up and looked out. He saw a king with a golden crown on his head and a magnificent robe, surrounded by a group of Rynosk generals, standing 50 paces away from him, smiling and looking at him.

The Reynolds envoy, who had visited him several times, said in a loud voice to Odros: "Lord Odros, His Majesty the Tsar has asked me to greet you, as he promised before, that even if Your Excellency comes alone, His Majesty will greet you in a triumphal manner. If you are still attached to your homeland, then our army will escort you back to your home country bypassing Pinkers. ”

Odros listened and sighed softly. The meaning of the Renoskes was clear, either surrender or return to Pamis to be mermaids. If the latter is chosen, the Renoskes will gladly give him the swords and prepare them. He turned to his subordinates and said: "You have followed me to fight for Pamis for more than ten years, I have not been able to give you any benefits, it is really embarrassing to end up in this situation, if anyone wants to return to their hometown and spend the rest of their lives in peace, I can intercede with the people of Renoske, and it can be regarded as a little compensation for you." I will bear the responsibility for the sins in the future. ”

"What are you talking about, Lord Oderos, since we have followed you to this point, I am afraid that we will also be convicted of traitors by those villains. And the adults treat us well on weekdays, and we are willing to continue to follow the adults. ”

"Well, those who want to leave can still go home, and those who stay behind will no longer be His Majesty's courtiers in the future."

In the end, not a single one of the 500 people left.

On 9 July, Pinks was surrounded by 50,000 troops of Reynolds, and a protracted siege began.
