king of ros

Chapter 60 Collapse and Disintegration
"Follow me! Warriors! Let us crush the weak Rus!"

What responded to Saru was a war cry belonging to the prairie wolf. Ross's line was broken, and the nobles and warriors of the prairie had been eager to kill for a long time.

The cavalry followed the yellow banner of the Son of Khan, and it was full of silver light at a glance. The armor and sharp blades shone in the sun that was no longer covered by fog, like a heavenly army marching towards the red shield of the Ross army. go.

"God, this group of people is coming for us, damn it, what the hell is going to happen."

Prince Ross's uncle, Ijaslav, said with a stern expression that the dispatch of the steppe heavy cavalry was very obvious. He had already seen it, but now he only felt the pressure.

Moreover, he saw the chaos in the central army, which made Ijaslav even more flustered. He was not a good general, and his battlefield qualifications could only be said to be mediocre. Faced with such a scene, he immediately panicked.

Now the command of the four thousand troops on the right wing is in his hands, but he doesn't know what to do.It's not just him who is anxious, everyone is anxious, waiting for orders.

But the option of retreat did not appear in the uncle's mind, because he saw his father resolutely throwing his elite into the collapsed front. Even the coach was not timid, so how could he run away? How could he be worthy of his father's hard work if he ran away.

"Brother, please be sure to stand up to the Polovets, I will hand over all my men to you, in just a moment, I will lead the cavalry to attack from the flank, those black hats actually want to run, but luckily there are people inside Tell me this, let me stare at them, otherwise it will be difficult to counterattack without these cavalry."

The second uncle, Svyatoslav, put on the pointed battle helmet to show his identity, and said to his brother that his personal soldier was still waiting by his side with a horse.

"Okay, okay, let's do it, Svyatoslav, you've got nothing to do."

The uncle said as if he had found the backbone, not forgetting to care, and the second uncle had already stepped on the horse, made a cross to express his blessing to his brother, and then went to his heavy cavalry, ready to lead them to the nomads. Here comes an exciting side swipe.

--------

While the right wing was preparing for the raid of the nomadic heavy cavalry, in the central army, as the Grand Duke's personal soldiers were thrown into the battlefield, the collapsing situation was finally contained.

When the elite soldiers of Grand Duke Ross formed a solid shield wall and pushed forward, the discomfited soldiers who were hunted down by the nomadic army all took the initiative to move closer, and they consciously formed a front on both sides of the shield wall.

The attack of the nomadic army was finally temporarily contained, and the horsemen suddenly found themselves crashing into the shield wall of the Rus, and then were cut down by spears and axes.

However, this also aroused his courage. Many nomads slammed their horses into the Ross shield wall at full speed, even if they were desperate to die, they would sacrifice the lives of the Ross people.

For a while, there were several gaps in the shield wall because of these desperate guys. The Polovets didn't waste the opportunity that their fellow tribes had fought for with their lives.

The battle has gradually turned into a melee, and this is exactly what the Ross people don't want to see. The melee is not good for the Ross people, but the situation is already like this, so what can be done, the battlefield is always out of control like this.

"Forward! Russ!"

The Grand Duke's personal captain Jika beheaded the head of Polovts in front of him with a single knife. The cheap armor on this guy's body did not save his life, and he was directly split open by the Ross warrior.

After beheading this man, the Polovites who followed him turned around and ran away. The leader was dead, so there was nothing to do, but one of them who ran slowly was picked up by Jika and threw a spear to pierce it. In the heart, the rider fell from the horse, with one foot still hanging on the saddle, and the body was dragged away by the horse.

A group of soldiers with spears rushed past the captain of the bodyguard, stabbing the nomad riders who unfortunately stood in front of them, and poked them off their horses one by one.

"These bastards, let them succeed..."

Jika raised his shield to block the incoming scimitar, and then kicked the horseless Polovts over. Seeing this, several spearmen immediately went up to stab.

The reason why the captain of the personal army made this statement was because he knew that under the crazy counterattack of the Polovites, he knew very well that the Grand Duke's plan had gone bankrupt. Into the melee that you least want to see.

Suddenly, Ji Ka's heart shuddered violently. He subconsciously raised his shield to the back, and then felt the impact of the falling arrows. Those spearmen were not so lucky, and they rushed under the arrows. fall down.

The captain of the body guard cut off the arrow on the shield with his sword, and looked in the direction of the arrow. It was a group of cavalry archers showing off their might. It seemed that some Polovets had turned to the flanks.

Without hesitation, the captain picked up the horn in his hand and blew it. This was a signal to order the Black Hats to attack, but unfortunately, the captain could not wait for the horn to respond.

"Damn it! Those bastards are gone!"

The battle-hardened captain immediately guessed what was going on—those nomadic cavalry ran away!
--------

As the battle between the central army and the right wing became more and more intense, on the left wing, Ross had just recovered from the chaos, but compared to before the chaos, there were far fewer people on the battlefield.

The one that is still there is Rostislav's department, but it has retreated hundreds of meters from the original position. For this reason, Prince Ross spent a lot of energy running around frantically among his subordinates to appease him, and managed to stabilize most of them. Gather some soldiers who haven't fled yet.

The guards also helped a lot, and the chanting and prayers of the bible psalms in their mouths made many soldiers feel at ease and returned to the queue again.

Fortunately, the Polovites did not launch an attack on his side, otherwise it would really be over, but I think they also saw the chaotic enemies of the Ross people just now. After all, the Ross people almost collapsed by themselves at that time, so they didn't attack.

But now the Ross people regrouped and the Polovets failed to notice. After all, they were at the top of the flat slope, and a few hundred meters back was just on the other side of the slope, and the Polovets couldn't see it at all. Movements of Ross's army.

"Your Highness Rostislav, what should we do now? Should we retreat or attack?"

Gevalan asked solemnly, the prince's next choice will determine their fate.

"We attack."

After observing the situation on the battlefield for a while, Rostislav Vladimirovich said firmly, but he still doesn't know that this decision will reverse the entire situation of the battle.
