king of ros

Chapter 579 Disappearing Quickly

The advance of the Rus' army was so rapid that most of the Georgian kingdom now submitted to the young monarch of Kutaisi.

Under such circumstances, Amvrosi, who controlled Tbilisi, expressed his submission very "naturally", knelt down in front of the new Georgian monarch, and said that the "real monarch" he was waiting for was Mikhail and Tate Mal.

Many people dismissed this. Amvrosi has always been known as the elusive spy chief. Many people have no trust in this person. Everyone has not forgotten that this person took Tbilisi Dedicated to Monomach.

Rostislav thinks this person is very interesting. This guy is actually preparing for the arrival of the Ross people so early. This kind of vision is extremely rare in this land.

It was naturally impossible for Rostislav to refuse Tbilisi's offer of refuge, and the Ross army marched into this most prosperous city in the entire Transcaucasus.

The victory of the Russians in Tbilisi has had a huge impact on the entire Transcaucasus. In the past 30 years since Monomakh conquered it, in people's hearts, everyone thinks that this is the center of the Monomakh kingdom.

Now that the Ross people have taken Tbilisi, people naturally think that they have won the center of the Monomakh country, and the result of this behavior is that more and more lords and warlords have begun to fall to Ross. people.

Under such a prospect, the two successors of Monomakh, Radko and Anton, announced that they would surrender before Mikhail and Tamar.

It is not surprising that the two made such a choice. Radko faced almost endless rebellions, while Anton was directly forced to his father-in-law's territory. The rule of the two can be said to be shaky.

But even relying on these 4000 people, Oleg dealt with Alexios for a while. Alexios didn't take Oleg to heart, and there were only 4000 people. what man can do.

And if the Greek army enters the mountains rashly, they will get lost in the mountains. If they are unlucky, they will be ambushed by Oleg's army and then annihilated. After a blindly chasing Greek army was annihilated, Alexio Si called a stop to these behaviors.

It was difficult for Alexios to counter Oleg, because although the local Greeks had returned to the empire, the aborigines in the Trabzon mountains still supported Oleg. With the help of these people, Oleg could easily find shelter in the mountains.

By this time, there were only 200 soldiers left in the army around Oleg. Oleg distributed all the gold and silver with him to them, and then dismissed these last warriors, because he understood that all this Already hopeless, it's all over.

During this period, Oleg has been trapped in Trabzon. Due to the defection of those Greek nobles, his army experienced several large-scale desertions during the period, and when he finally arrived under the city of Trabzon, his hands There are only 4000 people here.

Alexios' Greek army finally took Trabzon, and the only thing that made Oleg feel relieved was that at least he and Monomakh's wife and children escaped from the city smoothly through secret passages.

After taking out the emergency fleeing money he had prepared long ago, Oleg finally took himself and Monomakh's wife and children and fled to the east. He knew that he was only safe there now, and he would be searched in other directions. He and Monomacher's wife and children fled to the pagan side, at least they would think of disgusting Christians and be merciful.

And they were all acquainted with Rostislav, which provided the grounds for their surrender—even though it was many, many years ago.

But the Greek emperor had a huge army after all. The Greeks could fail countless times, but Oleg only had one. With the support of a huge amount of supplies and soldiers, Alexios finally built the siege equipment.

After that, Oleg has been dealing with Alexios in this way, which made the Greek emperor very disgusted. Alexios' logistics was constantly harassed by Oleg, and when he built a siege camp, he would always Was raided.

Rostislav didn't care at all, and directly invited these former friends to have a drink together, and learned about their experiences.

It can be said that Rostislav's plan has been successful. He seized the Kingdom of Georgia for the child of his own blood.

Trabzon's defenders, strong as they were and their morale was high as they watched Oleg's army continue to raid the Greek army, were too weak in the face of the decisively superior Greek army.

Alexios quickly launched a full-scale offensive. It was an extremely cruel three days. The city walls were covered with blood and the dead were everywhere. Oleg continued to contain the Greek army, but in the end all efforts were in vain. .

Rostislav's behavior made both of them very grateful. They were grateful that Rostislav accepted them instead of killing their two Monomakh cronies, which made them swear allegiance to Mikhail and Tamar.

As a result, Oleg took advantage of his contempt, and then the whole army attacked and smashed the siege equipment built by Alexios, and then ran back to the mountain before the Greek army could react.

Now that the two successors have defected, the defection of others will naturally be even crazier, and those who refuse to accept will also be crusaded by Ross's army.

When seeing an army of more than 5 people appear, no matter who it is, the only thought in their minds right now is to surrender, and those who rarely do not surrender will be crushed to death by the Ross army.

In a very short period of time, Shirvan and the small part of Armenia controlled by Anton fell before Mikhail and Tamar, although various small-scale battles in these lands continued , but after all, it's just a small problem.

It can be said that at this moment, the last vestige of the Monomakh Kingdom still exists, and there may still be some Monomakh loyalists still persisting, but their destruction is only a matter of time.

Ross, Eastern Empire, Roma, Seljuk... These forces united and completely divided the Kingdom of Monomakh. This country that once conquered such a vast land disappeared completely in just half a year.

Some people are happy, some are sad, and some are excited, but no matter what kind of mentality they hold, a new era has arrived. On the ruins of death in the Monomakh Kingdom, new stories will unfold, and the East will welcome the coming A new political landscape.
