Chapter 1116: Who Will Win
Xiao Zhiyun raised her arms high, the long sword pointed at the sky, and the sunlight penetrated through the gaps, like golden curtains, holy and domineering. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Listening to Xiao Zhiyun's words, the soldiers in the forest were all angry, and they all shouted loudly when they met Xiao Zhiyun's gaze, "We... We..."
"Who will have Kipros..."Xiao Zhiyun's eyes penetrated the jungle, followed by an even higher sound, as if piercing the sky, "We... We... Kipoulos belongs to us! ”
The voice was wave after wave, Xiao Zhiyun smiled, did not stop these passionate soldiers, at this time, they were not afraid of what the Slavs would find, as the deepest hidden killer, it was time to make a move. With a wave of one hand, the soldiers who had already prepared turned over and rushed out of the poplar forest, the horses' hooves stepping over, and the blades of grass swayed. Claire obediently followed behind Xiao Zhiyun, and she didn't dare to breathe, gradually, she was a little afraid of Concubine Xiao in front of her, this woman was decisive in killing, and her heart was tough, she was simply a devil. Claire is not a master of the art of war, but with a little brain, she can figure out what impact these more than 1,000 cavalry will have, these cavalry are like an overlord gun hidden in the dark, if it is not enough, once it is touched, it will inevitably stab countless people to death. Xiao Zhiyun was not in a hurry, the long sword was withdrawn, and the horsewhip gently rubbed Claire, "Take a good look, at least in Kipois and even in the Scottish Highlands, no one is our opponent, I hope you know it in your heart." ”
Claire rolled her eyes in anger, and then twisted her head to the side, of course she knew in her heart, Xiao Zhiyun was killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, hum, these Orientals are really insatiable, and Kipros has not taken it down, and he already remembers Scotland. Xiao Zhiyun doesn't care if Claire Gao is unhappy, as long as the goal is achieved, it is enough. Thousands of cavalry hid in the poplar forest for several days, like a tiger that had been locked up for a long time, and once they rushed out of the forest, the momentum was overwhelming and furious. They divided into two roads and rushed towards the two main roads leading to the city of Kyiv, more than 1,000 cavalry may not be able to pose a mortal threat, but if they want to harass the enemy army and cause trouble, there are ways to do it. In order to do their best to complete the task of blocking the enemy, all the cavalry horses pulled a bundle of firewood behind them, close to the poplar forest, and it was easy to get firewood. Five miles northwest of the poplar forest, there is the widest official road leading from the Suzdal River to Kiev City, and there is a section of the road through the eagle's beak slope, which is divided into two parts by the official road, and the official road in the middle is about seven or eight zhang wide. The city of Kiev is surrounded by plains, the terrain is flat, only the eagle's beak slope is more special, like a sarcoma arched on a thousand miles of plains. The cavalry rushed out of the poplar forest, and more than 200 people aimed directly at the eagle's beak slope, these people rode their horses and galloped wildly, like heavenly soldiers, and many Slavs were frightened stupid by them. After galloping all the way, he finally occupied the eagle's beak slope before the Slavs arrived, and then piled the prepared firewood on the official road, set it on fire, and the scorching sun burned it, like a wall of fire, lying across the official road.
Viache fled desperately, when he really gave up his dignity, then there was nothing to worry about, he just wanted to survive now, hurry back to the city of Kyiv, and then loot Kiev's belongings and transfer to the Caucasus. At this time, Viache had all his attention behind him, and he hoped that Tuflan would be able to resist for a while. Suddenly, there was a mess in front of him, and the fleeing team stopped suddenly, and it didn't take long for the chief of the guard, Wofrey, to run to the front with an embarrassed expression, "Grand Duke, it's not good, the eagle's beak slope is occupied by the Orientals, and the Orientals have ignited a fire on the road they must pass, and the brothers can't rush over it for the time being, so they can only climb over the hawksbill slopes on both sides." And also... The spies reported that there were a number of Eastern cavalry nearby, and now they were attacking our vanguard, and the brothers were killed and wounded. ”
Before Wofrey could finish his words, the corners of Viache's mouth opened and his face was bloodless, and after a long while, he gritted his teeth and trembled, "Why is this happening?" Where did these eastern cavalry run from, no matter how fast they were, they couldn't run in front of us, could they not fly? "Vyache grabbed his hair, he had fallen into a state of semi-madness, could it be that the other party had ambushed soldiers and horses in this area in advance? No, this is impossible, how can it be, a few days ago, the two sides fought fiercely, and the Oriental people were in a precarious situation many times and were on the verge of collapse, if it was an ambush, then these people should have rushed to the aid of the main battlefield a long time ago. No, it could never be an ambush, unless the general who led the army was a madman who could sit still while the main battlefield was on the verge of collapse.
In fact, at this time, it is no longer meaningful to consider whether it is an ambush, the road ahead is blocked, and there are cavalry attacks, hehe, this road to Kiev City is simply a road of death. There was no need for Viache's orders, these Slavic routs who wanted to survive had already rushed towards both sides of the Eagle's Beak Slope, they instinctively wanted to live, and they didn't have time to think about whether there was a trap on the other side of the Eagle's Beak Slope. In fact, the cavalry of the Sharp Blade Battalion could not let go of this good opportunity to beat the water dogs, many Slavic soldiers had just crossed the eagle's beak slope, and when they were exhausted, they saw a group of cavalry rushing towards them, and the result can be imagined, the blood stained the grass red, and the cloud pine on the eagle's beak slope sang in mournful voice. In the face of war, mercy is a luxury, as long as the enemy has not knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, then there is no need to put down the butcher's knife, and sometimes, even if the other party surrenders, he still has to kill. There were battles and wails near the Eagle's Beak Slope, a wall of fire, coupled with the special terrain of the Eagle's Beak Slope, and the tens of thousands of Slavic routs were dragged here. Wofrey's anxious heart is about to jump out, he is not the kind of person who has no brains, the ambush in front of him is not a problem at all, it is the chasing soldiers behind him that is fatal, this toss down, it does not take an hour, the main army of the Orientals will pounce on it like a mad dog, is it time to find another "Tuflan" to go to the palace? What's more, the queen of the palace must also have soldiers available.
"Grand Duke, we are going from the west, the easterners are all cavalry, and on the other side are waiting for work, if this continues, we will not be able to rush through in a short time" Wofrey led Viache's war horse with an anxious expression. Viache's lips turned white and he smiled miserably, like a fallen Doomsday Hero, "Wofrey, even if we go around, there is not much hope of escaping, they are cavalry.... It's cavalry.... The Easterners have been hiding for so long, and they have endured it until now, this is to make up for us with the last knife, will it give us a chance to escape back to the city of Kyiv? Viache kept shaking his head, he felt that there was little hope of survival, even he Viache knew the truth of the flank ambush, it was impossible for the Orientals not to know.
Where was Wofrey willing to give up, and finally persuaded Viache to flee for his life, how could he let him stay on the Eagle's Beak Slope like this? Looking at the firelight in the distance, the team was blocked in front of the eagle's beak slope, crawling like a snail, and he couldn't help but say, "Grand Duke, now that we can't go back to Kiev City, from the west of the eagle's beak slope, go directly south, maybe we can escape." Although the Orientals occupy the Eagle's Beak Slope, they will definitely not have too many troops, and it is impossible to take care of everything. ”
Without waiting for Viache's answer, Wofrey gave an order, and more than twenty of his own guards escorted Viache to the west of the eagle's beak slope. The area of the eagle's beak slope is not too large, but it is still a difficult problem for these tired and war-horse Slavs. Wofrey took the lead and quickly rushed out with Viache, and at this time, the sound of killing on the eagle's beak slope was shaking and the smoke was filled, but not far away a small group of cavalry was quietly waiting for something.
"Princess Qiqi, the Slavs have been blocked in front of the Eagle's Beak Slope, and General Yang has also sent news that His Highness's side has broken through the enemy's resistance, and the vanguard cavalry is expected to arrive at the Eagle's Beak Slope in an hour. Viache is also as the princess expected, and is now leading dozens of personal soldiers to flee in this direction" The scout came with the news, Xiao Zhiyun's eyes full of wisdom were bright, but she frowned, and Liao Zhongming, the commander who was waiting beside her, came up and asked, "Princess, do you want to send someone to destroy Viache's people?" ”
"It's definitely going to be fought, Liao Dutong, you can take someone on a trip, but you have to remember it clearly, just teach Viache a lesson, but don't kill Viache, leave him alive, as long as this guy doesn't flee to Kyiv" Xiao Zhiyun's expression was flat, and there was not much fluctuation between words, as if Viache was an insignificant little person. Liao Zhongming was a pure soldier, so he didn't ask much at all, so he ordered a group of soldiers and rushed out. In the face of these Slavs who were eager to flee for their lives, Liao Zhongming did not fight hard, but took out a bow and crossbow and shot at Vyache and others. To this extent, Viache was bent on running for his life, where was there a little bit of desperate heart, even Wofrey lost his desperate mind, and after being shot dead by Liao Zhongming, Viache and Wofrey led less than five remnants of the soldiers, and escaped like lost dogs.
Viache ran away, Xiao Zhiyun looked as usual, she didn't care, Claire has been with the army for so long, she knows a little about Kipros, and knows the importance of Viache, she really doesn't understand what kind of medicine Xiao Zhiyun sells in this gourd. The battle on the eagle's beak slope continued, and the Slavs fought desperately to survive, which seemed to be vigorous, but in fact there was no suspense about the result. Claire looked down at things and looked up at Xiao Zhiyun from time to time, but in the end, curiosity prevailed, and she endured her fear and asked, "You... Why let Viache go? Isn't this a return to the mountain, aren't you a princess, why do you want to go against the regent? ”
"What?" Xiao Zhiyun was stunned when she heard this, and glanced at Claire with a strange expression, "You barbarian girl really don't understand anything?" Let the tiger return to the mountain, do you think Viache is still a tiger? Hehe, in the past, Viache was indeed a fierce tiger, but now, he is a wild cat that escapes for his life, or a wild cat that does not even have the courage to catch mice. Your Highness is not you, you think much more far-reaching than you, and it is easy to kill Viache, but without him, there is no one in the Caucasus. Anyway, there is no threat to Viache, so it is better to throw this sick cat to the Caucasus and let him guard the Caucasus for us, so that the Germans will not occupy the Caucasus and cause us trouble. ”
After hearing these words, Claire's heart was cold from head to toe, compared to Xiao Zhiyun, she Claire was too simple, pure as clear water. Xiao Zhiyun's scheming is really too deep, this is to make Viace a watchdog. Just like Xiao Zhiyun said, after a series of defeats, Viache not only lost his troops, but more importantly, he was physically and mentally hit, his confidence collapsed, and he was no longer as brave as he was in the past. The sick cat did not threaten the Eastern Empire, but it could compete with the Germanic nobles of Dolle, and the Viache occupation of the Caucasus also blocked the way for the Seljuks and Eastern Romans to go north. Of course, Viache would have made alliances with the Germans, even the Eastern Romans and the Persians, but if they were allied, Viache would not cede the Caucasus to anyone else, because the Caucasus had become the last habitat of the Slavs.
Viache was still running on the way to escape, and after a fight on the eagle's beak slope, he was wounded by an arrow, and Wofrey was shot in the shoulder, and the few who survived were also wounded. Kyiv City is in sight, but Vyache has no idea of going to Kyiv City, the Orientals have already reached the Eagle's Beak Slope, and at this time they will return to Kyiv City, isn't this self-defeating? Arriving at a small, dilapidated village, Vyache disregarded his image, turned over and dismounted, and lay on the haystack snorting and panting. At this time, his head became clearer, and Wofrey sat on the side to deal with the wound, muttering constantly, "It's really fateful, if we hadn't escaped quickly, I'm afraid we would have died on the eagle's beak slope." ”
After a long time, Viache did not hear anything back, and Wofrey was puzzled. Vyache wiped his face, smiled wryly and shook his head, "Wofre, do you really think it's our fate?" I'm afraid not! ”
"What do you mean, Grand Duke?" Wofrey's brow furrowed, and for a moment he didn't understand what Viache meant. Vyache didn't mean to hide it, took a sip of water, and looked up at the sunlight outside the house, "We didn't have a big fate, we should have died on the eagle's beak slope, and the reason why we were able to escape was that the Orientals deliberately let us out." You underestimate the Orientals too much, their cavalry is obviously waiting there, and those Oriental cavalry are all elite, and they are waiting for work. With their strength, they don't need to fight hard at all, they just need to drag us slowly, and they can drag us to death. But in fact, they just shot a lot, and the bows and crossbows were not deliberately aimed at me, and they didn't even pursue them. Ahem... Wofrey, do you think that after dealing with each other for so long, the Orientals will not recognize me? ”
