king of ros

Chapter 129
After simply packing up everything that was messed up, the Bulgar army embarked on the journey again.

In order not to delay the advancing speed of the army, a large number of wounded were temporarily placed in the walled city abandoned by the Walled Lord of Ross recently. also occupied here.

Along the way, the Bulgar army still controlled some suitable strongholds to ensure the smooth passage of the rear, but these strongholds existed more because of the inaction of Zhucheng against the Bulgar army. If they had been used as these strongholds, they would have been pulled out long ago.

These wounded had to go through a lot of hardships. They even had to cross the Volga River to reach the city. At the same time, they escorted nearly a thousand slaves captured along the way.

Rostislav's surprise attack made Akkad understand that the real battle was imminent, and all these factors that might affect the battle had to be dismissed as soon as possible.

Akkad accelerated the marching speed, and those who could not keep up would be ruthlessly thrown on the side of the road. He had to reach the silver mine named Kashin as soon as possible and control the city in his hands.

And that Rostislav is probably guarding there, and he will make this kid pay the price.

Akkad did not encounter any attack on the following road, so their speed was not affected in any way, but along the dirt road, and after killing all passers-by who were not long-sighted along the way, the Bulgar army came to the famous Kashin, the city of silver resounding throughout Eastern Europe.

The Bulgars arrived early in the morning, and as they expected, Kashin was now ready for battle. Figures holding spears could be seen everywhere on the wooden parapet, and Rurik's flag was also on display. Which flutters.

Due to the influx of a large amount of resources in the past few months, Kashin's city wall has changed from the original extremely thin wooden wall to a masonry-based, taller, larger and stronger wooden city wall.

It is also this that gave the defenders great confidence. This is one of the best city walls in the entire Northeast Ross, and they can definitely guard this city wall until they die of old age.

And then, the burning smoke soon darkened the morning sky. The smoke was the product of Akkad's order. The ruler ordered to burn all the buildings around the fort and hanged him before he could escape into the fort. Russians.

Most of these people came to Kashin to dig mines. They were not allowed to enter the town. They could only build huts outside the city wall and dig pits in the seepage mine with expectations for the future. Now these people who are full of expectations That's how people are killed and everything is robbed.

The fine woods of Northeast Rose glow a fiery, thirsty red in the flames.Hot air curled up, piercing the icy air, and the hanged body was dimly illuminated by the flames.

Although such a scene was made upon arrival, the Bulgar army did not launch an offensive afterwards. The killing and flames were just to scare the Ross barbarians.

However, these looting also aroused more morale of the Bulgars. The tattered miners killed by them had more or less pieces of silver ore in their hands. Although these ores were inferior, they were all silver and real. silver!
The low morale caused by the defeat of the Rus was swept away at this moment. Everyone was full of hope for what they could get from breaking through the city wall. The generals also encouraged the soldiers in this way, telling them that the wealth after breaking through the city wall would belong to them.

The Bulgars, whose morale was strong, first camped out of the bow and arrow range of the city wall, but did not start the siege immediately after setting up the camp, because Akkad wanted to capture the town in a way that the barbarians had never seen.

The engineers accompanying the army began to act. They began to judge the weakness of the city wall. Bulgar had no shortage of talents in literature and religion, and there was no shortage of talents in war and killing.

Akkad believed that the main force of Rostislav was among them, and he couldn't wait until the moment when the city wall collapsed!

"Okay, there are a lot of people, Father Yefimi, can we really hold on?"

"What are you talking about? Why can't you keep it? Is this city wall fake?"

"Yeah, we can definitely defend it. Look at those Bulgars. They are actually digging the ground there. Don't they know how to attack the city?"

On the city wall, the Russians in iron armor were discussing, and as the discussion deepened, their morale became stronger, and they despised the Bulgars more and more, and then they didn't disperse until the old Yefimi they said roared. work.

And old Yefimi leaned against the city wall and watched the busy Bulgars outside the city, his eyes full of worry.
Inside Kashin, countless Ross soldiers are busy, but compared to the elite Ross that Akkad imagined, most of these Ross soldiers are dressed in commoner clothes or even furs, and hold simple weapons in their hands. rare.

Contrary to Akkad's idea, Kashiny does have a Russian army, but this is not the main force of Rostislav, but a combination of local farmers, adventure warriors and some dilapidated miners.

Although Rostislav made the decision to abandon Kashin, not everyone was willing to follow his orders, especially since he was unable to tell the truth about the Kashin silver mine, which made persuasion even more difficult.

The dignitaries, relatives and his subordinates are willing to believe him, but the scattered guys who come to Kashin to mine are not willing. If your master wants to give up, it is your business.

So they united with the local peasants, elected the old Yefimi as the leader, and occupied this place after the prince's forces left Kashin, claiming to hold it.

Doing so is undoubtedly against the authority of Rurik, and the reason for old Yefimi to stand up is very simple. He is very clear about the significance of the Kashin Silver Mine to this area. For the development of the entire area, he only wants to Can fight against Rurik's authority.

At first Rostislav planned to persuade these people to leave, but he quickly gave up on this decision. These people were like rocks, no matter how much he persuaded them, he would not believe them.

And the Riddler caused by Rostislav's inability to tell the truth about the Kashin Silver Mine made persuasion even more difficult.

In the end, the princes of Moscow simply gave up this option. It would be nice to have them in Kashin, which can make the play more realistic and make the Bulgars believe in all this.

As for them blocking the Volga army?That was absolutely impossible, and Rostislav knew this better than anyone else, how could these farmers who had never seen the market defeat that army.

And it doesn't matter if these people are dead, they are not under his control anyway, these "people with vitality in the local area" are still dead.
