Chapter 1268: Defeat is like a mountain

Vasilev thinks about it, his mind is chaotic, where can he sleep? At midnight, a cavalry came to the small river southwest of Nosla, and this cavalry was the cavalry led by Yang Zaixing and Yu Xiaochen. Looking at the small town of Nothra in the distance, under the starry night, the vague outline of the town could still be seen, Yang Zaixing did not rush to attack, but said to the young Yu Xiaochen, "After a while, you and I will divide into two routes, and insert the outer positions of Nosra diagonally from the southwest and southeast directions. Now Vasilev's troops have concentrated almost all their troops and horses in the vicinity of Nosra, so don't take it lightly. You remember, don't force yourself, if you encounter stubborn resistance from the other party, immediately retreat, once you get into the struggle, it is likely to capsize in the gutter. ”

Although this battle was nine out of ten, Yang Zaixing still looked serious and dealt with it seriously. After leading the troops for so many years, the biggest gain is that you can't underestimate the enemy at any time, and it is not uncommon for you to die and then live. Yu Xiaochen pursed his lips, his expression relaxed, he felt that General Yang was too cautious, with the ability of the ancient town cavalry, coupled with the situation of Huasilev's department, it was not about to collapse at the touch of a button? However, Yu Xiaochen didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction on his face, and the end of disobeying military orders was only a dead end.

As soon as the hour passed, most of the Slavic soldiers were already asleep, and at this time, the cavalry soldiers of the ancient town were divided into two ways, like two poisonous dragons directly into the town of Noslav. Dozens of cavalrymen at the front, cavalry knives hung on horseback, people holding a strong bow, the Slavic soldiers on the periphery of the town of Nosla only saw a flash of cold light, and they were killed by the bow, and then, the entire town of Nosla was detonated, shouting, and scolding one after another, some Slavic soldiers beat the gong on alert, signaling the Slavic soldiers stationed in the town to quickly organize defense, "The Eastern cavalry is coming, everyone get ready!" ”

The cavalry was too fast, and the cavalry of the ancient town had already been stationed in the small town of Nothra, and their familiarity with this place was no worse than that of the Slavs, so as soon as they arrived at the periphery of the town, the cavalry was divided into more than a dozen groups, rushing back and forth on the streets, and then to the outlying camps in the town, none of them were spared. The cavalry of the ancient town also learned the method of the Slavs attacking the western camp at night, not busy with killing, first set fires, the Slavs were fighting the fire, and at the same time they were busy dealing with the cavalry of the ancient town, where to deal with it, only half an hour, the fire was everywhere near Nosla, many Slavic soldiers scurried around like headless flies, and many people did not die in the hands of the cavalry of the ancient town, but were trampled to death by their own people. When it was ugly, when people were asleep, and at this time the enemy knocked on the door, and many Slavs were still in a state of confusion. Yang Zaixing is the ancestor of the cavalry, and he specially made people stare at the key points of the Slavs, which made the Slavs angry, as if there were dangers everywhere. At least until now, the Slavs have not figured out how many enemies are coming.

Vasilev hung his arms, and more than a dozen guards protected him in the middle, and in order to escape for his life, Vasilev did not even dare to wear his own military uniform. But even so, it's not so easy to escape. Yu Xiaochen and Yang Zaixing are different, with Yang Zaixing's current status, he doesn't care much about military merits, but Yu Xiaochen urgently needs military merits, as soon as he arrives in Nosla, the first thing he thinks of is Vasilev, which is a big military merit. The town was in chaos, Yu Xiaochen ran to Vasilev's residence, but found no one, and immediately searched like crazy, "What about Vasilev's old dog, find it for me." ”

"General Yu, I just found a person on the street in the south, it seems to be a big fish" A cavalryman ran over and said, Yu Xiaochen raised his eyebrows, he didn't bother to care if it was Vasilev or not, as long as it was a big fish. In this way, the unlucky Vasilev was still bumped into by Yu Xiaochen, who was eager for meritorious service. Yu Xiaochen knew Vasilev, and when he saw the guy who was surrounded in the middle, he immediately scolded angrily, "Vasilev, you old dog, I really thought that if I shaved my beard, I wouldn't know you anymore." ”

Vasilev is also a veteran of the battlefield, he was born in the Duchy of Komi, went through several upheavals in Kipros, and followed several grand dukes. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a few family slaves, after several large-scale coups, Vasilev can still live well, and even occupy a place in Kipros, and naturally it is not comparable to ordinary people in terms of self-preservation. When the ancient town cavalry raided the small town of Nothra, he knew that this line of defense would definitely not be able to hold. What is the morale of the garrison near Nosla, Vasilev knows better than anyone else, although there are still more than 8,000 people, but they are stationed in four camps, and the troops are scattered, and in the face of so many fierce cavalry, the so-called superiority in strength is gone. There is no superiority in troops, morale is low, and it is infantry against cavalry, and you know what the result will be with your ass. Knowing that the battle situation would not be too good, Vasilev was ready to flee for his life early. Dressed in the soft armor of an ordinary soldier, his beard was cleanly shaven, and he was bare-chested with two arms, like a poor Slavic child. After Vasilev dressed up this time, no one paid attention to him, so it was quite easy to escape, but he didn't expect to run into Yu Xiaochen.

Yu Xiaochen had a face-to-face with Vasilev, scolded in a low voice, patted the horse's back, and several pro-soldiers followed directly, pointing at Vasilev in the distance, and shouted angrily, "That guy is Vasilev, I'm going to kill him tonight, don't let him run away." ”

Vasilev glanced back, and secretly complained in his heart, now that he has been targeted, and the war horse has also been shot, relying only on two legs, he wants to escape, unless he is possessed by God. Vasilev really didn't want to die, he even avoided the rebellion of the principality back then, could it be that he would die at the hands of the Orientals? Seeing that the horse's hooves were getting closer and closer, and even the faces of the cavalrymen could be seen, Vasilev finally made a decision, threw the steel knife in his hand, and threw himself on his knees. This scene happened too suddenly, because before this, Vasilev had always given the impression of being brave and good at fighting, who would have thought that this fierce general on the battlefield would kneel and beg for mercy. Yu Xiaochen was not mentally prepared at all, and rushed to kill for a while while eating a cavalry knife, and was almost frightened to death by Vasilev's kneeling. Yu Xiaochen's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and he couldn't see any joy, and several pro-soldiers behind him also stared at Vasilev viciously, as if Vasilev had robbed them of their money. If he could, Yu Xiaochen really wanted to point at Vasilev's head and scold, what the hell is this, he personally led the troops to rush and kill, just for Vasilev's head, this is a great military achievement. Well, now, as soon as Vasilev surrenders, he can't continue to cut people.

Yu Xiaochen was angry in his heart, but he would not kill Vasilev in anger, after all, Vasilev's identity was there, he took two steps with the reins of the horse, glanced at the corners of his mouth, and said in a deep voice, "Come on, tie up this guy, divide two thousand people to search east along the town, as long as there are resistors, kill them." By the end of the day, Ben had hoped that there would be no more Slavic soldiers and horses within a radius of thirty miles from Nothra. ”

The cavalry quickly separated, which also indicated that the Nosra raid was coming to an end, Vasilev also knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and the other Slavic children would not continue to resist stubbornly, and those who scattered and fled could not outrun the four-legged horses, and before dawn, the fighting near Nosra was basically over, and most of the recalcitrant ones were killed. For Yu Xiaochen, this victory is nothing to brag about.

The Eastern Front led by Vasilev was almost completely annihilated, and Vyache's painstaking strategy of pinching the east and west was shattered, and at this time, Zhao Yougong could be regarded as truly invincible. Vladimir was besieged and the battle situation in the south of the Suzdal River became clearer, and Zhao Yougong finally relaxed. By now, the Slavs had lost the capital to continue their struggle, and their morale was sinking again and again, on the verge of collapse. Yu Xiaochen returned victoriously, the morale of the Dingguo army was greatly boosted, Yang Zaixing and others all gathered in the tent to discuss the next plan of action, Yu Xiaochen could not hide the joy in his heart, "Your Highness, the Vasilev Front is simply about to collapse, and the final general will take Nosra, it is simply effortless." Now that the threat to the east has been cut off, only Viache's headquarters is left near the city of Kyiv. The last general advised to do something to Viache's department as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night. Vasilev's headquarters were annihilated, and if Vyache was bent on fleeing for his life, it would be really difficult for us to stop them. ”

Zhao Yougong's expression was relaxed, listening to the discussions of the people below, and after hearing Yu Xiaochen's words, he sat up straight and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "Okay, let's be quiet." The situation is now very favorable to us, and the troops and horses of Viache headquarters are no longer able to fight, but they are close to the city of Kyiv, and if they want to escape, they still have a great advantage. However, this king has already made arrangements, and even if the Slavs try their best to escape, it will not be so easy. ”

After a moment of silence and a slight pause, Zhao Yougong continued, "The generals will listen to the order, rest for a day today, and tomorrow, the whole army will be drawn out, and the target will be the troops and horses of the headquarters of Viache. In this battle, the city of Kiev was to be taken in one fell swoop, and the remaining resistance of the Slavs was eliminated as much as possible. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked excited, and they all stood up, "Your Highness, rest assured, we should fight hard and not give the Slavs a chance." The crowd was enthusiastic and the morale was high, and the soldiers of the Dingguo Army at this time were full of confidence and fearless.

In contrast, the Vyache department can be said to be gloomy, and the morale was already low, and when the news of Vasilev's department was completely wiped out, the morale of the originally little was even more plummeting. The current Slavic soldiers are like a basin of water, and even if God comes, it is impossible to knead it into a mountain. Vyache had already accepted his fate, and Vasilev's department could not keep it, and what did he rely on to fight with the Orientals, the east-west pincer strategy was broken, and he didn't even have the capital to protect himself, and now he can only be beaten passively. Wofrey stood at the front, and behind him were a dozen commanders looking at the ground with their heads down, not a dozen commanders, but in fact many people couldn't even make up a hundred men. Vyache looked at these Slavic nobles who had no fighting spirit, and he let out a long sigh in his heart, it had come to this point, what else could not be put down, "I have decided, while the Easterners have not attacked, after dawn, everyone will retreat to the city of Kiev, and then retreat to the Caucasus." From now on, Kipros is an Oriental. ”

It was a great shame that Kipros belonged to the Easterners, while the real Slavic nobles were driven to the Caucasus Mountains, but when they heard Viache's order to retreat, everyone was overjoyed, and many even raised their heads suddenly. The dignified Slavic nobles had fallen to this point, and under the blows of the day, they had lost the idea of fighting with the Orientals. Although the city of Kyiv is good, it is only a short-term foothold, and the strength of the tie is what to rely on to defend the city of Kyiv?

As soon as Viache's order was given, he waved his hand weakly, and the commanders left in a hurry, and soon after, the army began to prepare for a large retreat. More than 20,000 people retreated at the same time, not that they could walk away, no matter what, someone must be in charge of the palace, without the retreat of the palace, it is a rout, and people with a little military common sense know what the result of the rout is. However, at this time, no one will take the initiative to ask for help, and fools know that at this time, the queen of the palace is ten dead, and there is no possibility of survival at all. Under the toss of Wofrey and others, the Marquis of Tufran from Herlinburg in the north was left behind. Everything was ready, but the Slavs still did not expect that the offensive of the Dingguo army would come so quickly. They thought that they had just launched the Battle of Nosra and destroyed Vasilev in the east, and they could not fight continuously for a short time. Who knows, after only one day's rest, more than 8,000 soldiers of the Dingguo Army launched an attack on the garrison of Vyache, more than 3,000 cavalry were responsible for the charge, and the infantry behind them pressed the formation. In the face of the surging offensive, Tuflan secretly complained to himself, but there was nothing he could do, this was the result of the lottery decision, and he could only blame his own bad fate. After more than 3,000 people and more than 4,000 cannon fodder soldiers formed a phalanx, it could be regarded as magnificent, but in fact, it was just a faΓ§ade. Yang Zaixing personally led the cavalry, and the three conical formations were directly inserted into the phalanx of Tu Fran's department, and just under the contact, the phalanx of the Slavs was directly rushed away, and the formation was like rotten tofu, which collapsed at the first touch. It's no wonder that Tuflan changed who led the troops, and the result was the same.

It was only a matter of time before Tuflan's troops were defeated, but with Tuflan's blockade, it was a matter of time for Viache's troops to retreat. Vyache is worthy of being a hero who has been difficult to come out of Kipros for a hundred years, and since he decided to flee for his life, he didn't think about it anymore, and countless remnants of the army fled in several groups in the direction of Kiev City. In order to speed up the retreat, even an order was given to abandon all baggage. The Slavic camp was in disarray, and in order to slow down the pursuit of the cavalry in the ancient town, the Slavs tried their best not only to discard the baggage, but also to destroy the road, and the road to Kiev was destroyed. Tuflan's department was still resisting, and with his efforts, it had been holding out for half an hour. In the face of the endless means of the Slavs, Zhao Yougong did not have any anxiety except for shaking his head secretly, for him, victory was already in his hands, and it was enough to have as few casualties as possible.

"Shao Lie, order your people not to be busy pursuing, concentrate their forces to defeat this group of soldiers and horses behind the palace" Zhao Yougong's order really made Yang Zaixing speechless, in Yang Zaixing's mind, even if there is no cavalry to help, with the passage of time, this group of Slavic soldiers and horses behind the palace can only be defeated, but it is more important to pursue Vyache. Seeing that Yang Zaixing was a little hesitant, Zhao Yougong put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand and showed an inexplicable smile, "Shao Lie, you can rest assured, Vyache wants to escape back, it's not so easy." ”

Yang Zaixing nodded, and began to order the cavalry to assemble into the left and right wings, so that Tuflan was in pain, and it was originally a dead support, and it collapsed directly. A Slavic soldier was still trying to find someone desperately to pull a cushion on his back, but as soon as he looked up, he saw a shining cold light passing by, and then he lost consciousness. Outside the phalanx of Slavs, corpses were piled up like a wall. The Slavs are not heroic, but the difference in strength is too great, no matter how they struggle, they will not escape death in the end, with the killing of Tuflan, the entire Slavic phalanx collapsed, those cannon fodder soldiers are even more unbearable, many people lie directly on the ground and shiver, some people have hugged their heads and cried. For these surrendered Slavs, Zhao Yougong did not embarrass them.

On the other side, Viache desperately fled, fleeing all the way, the golden soft armor on Viache's body was gone, and his face was black and purple, he had never been so embarrassed in his life. Viache desperately tried to flee, but he didn't know how dangerous the road was. In the southeast of the city of Kyiv, there is an aspen forest, which is lush and leafy in the height of summer. Walking in the forest, it is extremely cool, this poplar forest is five miles in circumference, at this time there is a group of people in the forest who are bored and enjoying the shade in the forest, several people get together, constantly wiping the knife in their hands, "What does the princess think, I heard that His Royal Highness's fight is hot, we are motionless, hiding in the forest to enjoy the cool." ”

"Say a few words, let the princess hear, there is no good end, the old pockmark in the last two days was not convinced, and the result was not twenty military sticks, here, who else can be more capable than the old pock?" Another soldier quickly let out a sigh.

These people are the cavalry of the Ruifeng Battalion, a few days ago, they quietly came to this poplar forest with the princess Xiao Zhiyun, and since they entered the poplar forest, they have begun to be idle. In the words of Lao Mazi, where is this military transfer, it is simply running to escape the summer. Lao Mazi was unhappy, and ran to the princess to make noise, but the result can be imagined, the princess was decisive and directly gave Lao Mazi twenty military sticks.

Xiao Zhiyun's expression was cold, naturally revealing a kind of majesty of a superior person, Claire sat beside her, feeling very depressed, "What are we doing here, we've been hiding for days." ”

Faced with Claire's question, Xiao Zhiyun ignored it, she squinted her eyes slightly, and her narrow eyelashes were very smart. According to the time, it should be about the same, no matter what, she has a lot of trust in Zhao Yougong, and this trust is based on a long-term tacit understanding. His own man seems to be born for a tough battle. Time passed minute by minute, the breeze in the forest blew on her face, and suddenly, Xiao Zhiyun smiled, because what she wanted was finally here.

"Newspaper .... Report..... His Highness smashed the enemy army and completely annihilated the enemy army in the east of Vasilev's department, and now the Viache department has fled in the direction of the city of Kiev, and the enemy's troops and horses are only ten miles away from us...."

Finally came, Xiao Zhiyun stood up, full of fierce fighting intent.

The summer wind, the greenery takes away countless desolations, Xiao Zhiyun has an outstanding posture, standing proudly, the wind blows the soft sideburns, both hands clench the narrow sword, as far as the eye can see, the world is in the hand. She was born noble, and she personally built the B room army that crisscrossed the Liao Dynasty, and her bloodthirstiness and pride did not lose to men at all. Zhao Yougong was able to rise in Guanzhong, quickly occupy Wuzhou, and have the land of Linfu, Xiao Zhiyun can be said to have worked hard, and because of this, the soldiers in the army also admired Xiao Zhiyun. The long wait is for this moment. These days, Xiao Zhiyun is calm and calm on the surface, but in fact, she is also suffering in her heart, the battle reports in front of her are constantly coming, and it is not all smooth sailing on His Highness's side, especially in the last two days, the whole situation has been out of control and has become confusing, and several times I almost couldn't help but order to go to help, but fortunately I endured it. At this time, I finally heard the news of the rout of Viache's department, and where could I still sit still.

Seeing Xiao Zhiyun get up suddenly, the generals scattered around consciously came over, and they instinctively felt that there was work to do. Thousands of soldiers began to gather, the war horses slowly gathered, everyone looked serious, their eyes were heavy, in a short period of time, the entire poplar forest was filled with a killing atmosphere, Xiao Zhiyun looked at everyone, and raised his voice, "Let me tell you a good news, Your Highness's side has broken the enemy army, and now the Slavs have fled in the direction of Kiev City." Right now.... Everyone listened to the order, and the concubine ordered you to divide into two lines of soldiers and horses, along the western road of the poplar forest, attack and kill the Slavs, and destroy the resistance of the Slavs to the greatest extent. General Yang's main cavalry will soon catch up, and we must prevent the Slavic rout from escaping to Kiev. From today, the Istrian Highlands will have a new owner, Ben Fei .... Ask you guys, who will have Kiporos! ”

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. Listening to Xiao Zhiyun's words, the soldiers in the forest all had blood and energy, 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? ”

Wofrey was at first unimpressed, and slowly opened his mouth half-open, a little stunned. Many things can't stand up to scrutiny, so I really calmed down and pondered carefully, and there were really many strange things in them. Those eastern cavalrymen were all equipped with bows and crossbows, armed with sharp cavalry knives, and their armor was different from other cavalry, and they were the most elite existence at first glance, how could these cavalrymen not recognize the Grand Duke of Kiporos? You must know that although Viache was in disarray, the aristocratic armor was still worn on his body, even if he couldn't recognize the Grand Duke, he was an ordinary Kipros nobleman, and the Orientals didn't let it go easily. Thinking about it, except for the fact that the Oriental people deliberately released people, they couldn't think of a reason for coming, but what the hell is going on?

Viache let out a long sigh, tears of self-deprecation in his eyes, "Can't figure it out, right? In fact, it's not complicated, the Orientals want us to guard the Caucasus. To put it mildly, we are now the watchdogs that the Orientals threw at the south of Kiporos. ”

In fact, Viache knew very well in his heart that he was a watchdog, and he was a little elevated himself, and it was almost the same as the old cat that was the gatekeeper. No matter how good the watchdog is, he still has the ability to bite his master back, does he have this ability? Hiding in the Caucasus is just a way to survive, at most it is just to ask for some benefits in the multi-party wrestling. If you don't defend the Caucasus, that's even more nonsense, the Caucasus and even the Chechen principality are already the last lands of the Slavs, no matter how barren this land is, no matter how bad the environment is, at least it belongs to you and can never be ceded to others. This trick of the Oriental people is an upright conspiracy, what can you do if you see through it, the terrible thing about the conspiracy is that you know the facts, and you must do it. Watch dog, I didn't expect him Viache to become the watchdog of the Orient one day, it's so ironic. The dignified Grand Duke of Kiporos, who had become a pawn of the Orientals, survived only because he was still useful.

Wofrey's brows were locked, and his scalp was a little numb when he thought about it, he really didn't expect that there were so many mysteries hidden in it. Vyache's expression was gloomy, he couldn't even say a word of comfort, and now, he also felt a little sorry for Vyache, who was beaten like a lost dog, and now he has to be a watchdog for the Orientals, and the worst thing is that this watchdog has not yet had the ability to bite his owner back. If he had known today, he really shouldn't have stopped Viache from committing suicide, but now, Viache no longer has the courage to commit suicide. Viache didn't see Wofrey's complicated gaze, and lamented to himself, "Watch dog, hey, in fact, it's the same for everyone, as long as you can control the Caucasus, whoever is the watch dog, the Orientals have no opinion." ”
