What is the reaction of a lazy sardine when a catfish is placed in a cabin full of sardines?

Or, when a grenade bomb is thrown into a dung pit and explodes, how does the toilet smell out of control?

Such was the case with the Rus' in the city of Kiev.

As if they had seen a predator, they all wanted to flee like crazy.

Whether it was the princes and nobles at the top, or the lowly commoners who were not looked at by them in the past, everyone felt the deep malice of the Chinese from the mouths of those prisoners who were released.

Even Metropolitan Peter could only keep his mouth shut, in the face of life and death, God is not the greatest!

The Chinese's threats are well-founded and have real power, not intimidation based entirely on false rhetoric.

One wooden house after another in the city of Kiev is the Achilles heel of the Rus'.

This is a normal part of the Rus' in the past, but now it is so bad when facing the Chinese.

Lu Qi's stone cannon had already reached the outer city, and the distance of two hundred meters was not a safe distance. Not to mention, as long as the Lu Qi army needs to, it is completely possible to pull the stone cannon closer to the city. But it was impossible for the Rus' to completely demolish the wooden houses in the city......

Congenitally in a desperate situation, it would be strange if the Ross people were not panicked.

In order to confirm that he was talking about it, the Qi army outside the city concentrated more than a dozen stone cannons and carried out saturation strikes on a point inside the city. The flaming wooden balls and incendiary bombs allowed the Rus' to see first-hand their ability to set fires.

In this way, the Rus' soldiers and civilians in the city of Kyiv could no longer bear it.

Several princes clearly felt the danger of the situation, but even then they did not dare to leave the city easily, and they could not even indulge the citizens to flee.

You must know that there are 30,000 Chinese cavalry with strong combat effectiveness outside the city, and although there are many of them, most of them are infantry, and cavalry only accounts for a small part. Once out of the city, the army's spirit is agitated, and the Chinese take the opportunity to kill, and it is difficult for them to get out.

No one dared to say that they were sure that they would maintain the integrity of their strength in that situation, and a major rout was almost inevitable.

The morale of the army in Kiev was already low, everyone was afraid, and this suddenly jumped out of the 'cage', got out of the 'place of death', and the mood suddenly relaxed, and the discipline and organization were already average, and they had to maintain their composure and have the courage to fight desperately with the Chinese.

People who have committed suicide once and have been rescued rarely have the courage to commit suicide a second time, right?

People who have been in a desperate situation once, after escaping life, their first thought is always to stay away from danger.

No matter how confident people are, they also understand that the Rus army that is out of the city at this moment will become vulnerable in the face of the attack of the Chinese.

As for not indulging citizens to flee, this is also the reason.

People are herd animals, and the morale of the Rus' army will be worse when they see a large number of Kiev citizens fleeing.

Moreover, Vsevolod II's army already included many soldiers conscripted from the Grand Duchy of Kiev, and it is difficult to say that the citizens would not be able to stir up the riots of those soldiers if they were allowed to flee. And once the army is in chaos, they are even more finished.

Now the princes of Rus' are really like ants on a hot pot, anxious.

They don't know what to do, and if they continue to stay in the city, they will sit still, but if they get out, there will be no way out.

No one can make a decision easily, and time passes little by little. The army outside the city began shelling again, and Vsevolod II went out to inspect the neighborhood, and as a result, he not only did not pacify the boiling people, but also made the emotions of the people even more agitated.

As mentioned earlier, after this guy entered the Grand Duke of Kiev, he acted recklessly and preyed on the common people, which was already notorious. Now it has led to war, which has plunged the entire city of Kyiv into ruin, and the local people are eager to eat him alive. At this time, the citizens of Kiev had forgotten how fanatical they were to defend the sacrosanct Rus' under the bewitchment of Xinyang. Forget that this war was not provoked by Vsevolod II at all!

They only remembered that Vsevolod II had sent troops to Chinese attack first, and then Chinese had counterattacked.

Somewhat embarrassed to return to the palace, Vsevolod II went in and saw a busy scene in a panic.

But it was he who had been out for such a period of time, and there had been new changes outside the city, and a stone cannon had been pushed to the southeast of the city, which made people shudder with the direction of the wind blowing now. At the same time, a number of Han cavalry appeared on all sides of the city of Kiev.

These conditions make the bladder of everyone who does not want to die tight.

"The Chinese will soon go on the offensive." Andrei Vladimirovich, Duke of North Novgorod, saw Vsevolod II, tears were about to fall, his territory had been seized by the Chinese, and the battle for Kiev was going to end in such a tragic end, when would he be able to regain his land. But saving his life now is the first thing, and he has no time to dwell on it.

The most important thing is to immediately reorganize the army in your hands and prepare to leave the city.

The situation in the city has reached the extreme, and the nerves of people from all walks of life are tense to the extreme, and the Chinese are likely to let the soldiers and civilians in the city themselves become a pot of porridge with just one shout, and then men, women, children, citizens, and soldiers are mixed together, like a moth heading straight for the raging fire outside the city.

Vsevolod II understood how far the mood of the people had reached, but the army ......

"Naturally, we tried to stop the chaos, but to no avail!" Andrei Vladimirovich said in a sad tone: "We have to admit this defeat. Although we all knew that going to be a terrible blow when we got out of town, it was the only way we could survive. Unless you are willing to take refuge in the infidels. ”

……

Outside the city, on a high lookout. Lu Yu put down the clairvoyant mirror, and a large number of Rus' troops had already driven out of Kyiv City from the west, and the dust had settled in this battle.

"The third child is indeed powerful, and he thinks of a wonderful method. Do not hurt people, and go down without a fight. Very good, very good! ”

The tone in Lu Yu's words was a bit big, but Lu Chuan and the others had long been used to hearing it as younger brothers. It's not three or five years since people become 'young and old'.

"If you want me to see it, my father doesn't need to send any more reinforcements. As long as I wait for the soldiers and horses, it is not a problem to sweep up Rus. Lu Yue looked at the Russ army and sneered repeatedly. After the first battle in Kiev, the Rus' were not enough to justify it.

Although the remaining principalities still have some strength, they are only pigs and sheep to be slaughtered.

If we only talk about the conquest of Rus', the current large army of the Luyue army is enough. And if Poland and Hungary are counted, it will not help to have 10,000 more reinforcements led by Swain.
