king of ros

Chapter 227
"Your Majesty Boleslaw, you have worked hard."

While Boleslaw was resting, Rostislav's second uncle, Svyatoslav, walked down from the city wall. He was covered in blood, as were the soldiers around him. It seemed that the battle on the city wall also Very not easy.

On the city wall above the gate, the archers are still firing arrows towards the outside of the city, shooting at the heretics hiding behind the bunkers, and next to them are the guards throwing the bodies of the heretics on the city wall. .

"It's Mr. Svyatoslav. It seems that the battle on the city wall has also been resolved. Tsk, it seems that you and I are the only reliable fighters in this palace."

Boleslaw's attitude towards Sviatoslav was still respectful, and there was no lack of recognition, which was rare before, and he was always indifferent before.

The cause of his attitude was not because of Sviatoslav's elder status, but because of Svyatoslav's swift and warrior performance, which was recognized by the war-loving Polish king.

At that time, the riot had just happened, and the flames in various parts of the city were also ignited, and everyone in the palace didn't know what was going on.

At this moment, a group of heretics took this opportunity to enter the palace. They seemed to be a special commando for this moment, because when most of the heretics were civilians, they were all wearing iron clothes and holding iron clothes. weapons.

Moreover, they also have internal agents among the palace guards. With the cooperation of these internal agents, the guards of honor at the gate of the palace almost failed to block the heretics who suddenly entered, allowing them to break into the vestibule.

Hearing the sound of fighting in the vestibule, Kesvyatoslav reacted the quickest. He immediately took his soldiers to the vestibule to meet the enemy without any hesitation.

Boleslaw was half a beat behind him, and quickly followed with the Polish knights. Then the two sides fought in the vestibule. The heretics were not many in number and were quickly wiped out.

Only then did other people react and arrange defenses and other things, but without Svyatoslav's decisive decision, I'm afraid it would take all the pagan commandos to kill in front of them to react.

"Don't say that, His Majesty Boleslaw, the others have a more important job, which is to prevent the two in the palace from fighting."

Svyatoslav patted the junior on the shoulder to express his closeness. He had already noticed the Polish king's favor, so he didn't mind giving back some affection.

What's more, in his plan, the King of Poland was originally the target to win over.

As for the affairs in the palace, it was naturally Bella and Anastasia. After confirming that the pagan riots swept the city, both sides thought that this matter was done by each other, and they even almost fought.

Even now, the armed forces on both sides are still confronting each other in the palace. If the Ross and the Germans were not there to smooth things over there, they would have fought internally.

Presumably, those heretics also calculated this before launching the attack, but they failed to calculate the quick response of Sviatoslav and Boleslaw.

"Speaking of which, this time is really embarrassing. Being surrounded by heretics like this, His Majesty Bella has lost his lord this time. So many guests gathered here but such a thing happened."

Boleslaw didn't comment much on the affairs in the palace. He was upset by those things recently and didn't want to talk more about them, but brought up the current situation.

"It's a small shame, I'm afraid this is just the beginning. You heard the horns outside the city just now. I'm afraid a large army is coming...Arson, riots, sieges, and pagan armies really make people feel like they are here. That boy Rostislav is right."

The princes of Checheng smiled self-deprecatingly. They didn't take Rostislav's warning seriously and fell into the current embarrassment. Is this retribution?

The King of Poland was also silent, and at that time he did not take the warning of the Prince of Moscow as a part of the matter.

But this made Boleslaw feel better about Rostislav. He thought he was just good at battle, but he was so sensitive to conspiracy.

"We are trapped here now, only Rostislav is outside, maybe the only one we can rely on is that kid."

While the two were talking, suddenly there was a sound of horns outside the city wall, and the two who heard the sound immediately got up, because the sound only meant one thing, and the pagans launched an attack again.

"Forward! Forward! The gods are watching us, we must win!"

Following Zheerji's roar, groups of heretics rushed over the bunkers built with wooden planks and furniture, and rushed towards the palace without thinking about their own safety.

Many people had fallen before them, and those corpses were laid in front of these fortifications, and these sacrifices were rewarded. Their most successful one even broke through the city gate and rushed into it to fight, but they were killed by the Poles. It was blocked back abruptly.

It's just that this doesn't affect the morale of these fanatical believers. In the thought of dedicating themselves to the gods, they picked up the blood-stained ladder and continued to move the ram made of beams to attack.

Some fell under the arrows, but someone soon took their place.

Whenever he saw this scene, Zheerji couldn't help but thank Bella in the palace. If he hadn't held a national meeting, they would never have been able to gather so many fanatical believers.

But watching this frenzied scene, Zheerji's worries were still very strong, because the defense in the palace was beyond expectations, and the defenders' will was surprisingly firm. If not, their first wave of offensive should have been successful.

For that wave of offensive, they mobilized most of the elites in their hands, as well as the internal support in the palace, but the result was still a failure.

But fortunately, time is on their side, not to mention that he has heard the sound of the horn, Lord Janos's army has arrived, and under the overwhelming number of people, victory must belong to them!
--------

While the attack and defense of the royal palace inside the city was in full swing, outside the city, the armies under the command of Rostislav were also gathering.

The Rurik trident, the white cross on a red background, and the banner of the Archangel Michael fluttered together, and groups of armored soldiers marched under them.

Rostislav succeeded in persuading the other two camps that they were also willing to join Rostislav's camp and fight against the pagan army coming from afar.

It is not difficult to convince them, because when they see the heathen army coming from afar, everyone knows that they should unite against the enemy. Nothing can unite Christians more than murderous heathens.

The prince of Moscow also sent envoys to the Poles and King Bela's troops, but unfortunately they were some distance away, and Rostislav hadn't been able to get the answer until now.

But Rostislav believed that they would join his army, for the above reasons, and those heretics were the best instruments of persuasion.

Now the cavalry led by Rostislav, in addition to his own team, also includes heavy cavalry under his second uncle, Magyar horse archers, and knights of the empire.

These cavalry, belonging to each side, now lined up behind Rostislav, driven by the young ruler.

This is a very strong team. Behind the prince of Moscow there are [-] such elites-this is cavalry-but even after mastering such a strong team, Rostislav's expression is still very serious, Because his infantry had not yet assembled.

Although the people gathered here are all elites, there is a lack of cooperation between them after all, and chaos is inevitable if they are not paying attention, and Rostislav is now in such trouble, the troops collide directly, it is difficult to Expand.

Although the officers led by Jan and Meshko are trying to mediate, they still need time, and without time there is nothing.

The Prince of Muscovite was very anxious, because the enemy was getting closer, and his troops had not even completed the formation, and their presence was obviously noticed on the other side.

This is not the way to go.

Rostislav thought, and then he made a difficult decision. Although this decision was very risky and tested his combat skills and command art, he had to make it.

"Followers, follow me! The others continue to wait."

Following the voice of the prince, his personal entourage followed. Rostislav wanted to show off his elite in front of the pagan army today and buy some time.
