king of ros

Chapter 236
The pagans built many fortifications on the square, but these fortifications were all facing the palace, and there was nothing behind them.

Therefore, the Christian cavalry can be said to have reached their destination smoothly all the way.

Naturally, a massacre followed. Facing those warriors riding on tall horses and wrapped in armor, the powerlessness of the pagans was immediately revealed.

And after seeing the cavalrymen who belonged to the cross coming, all the Christians in the palace immediately stood out from the gate, and the archers on the city wall kept firing arrows.

In this way, the two armies reached a forward and backward attack.

What's more, the previously dispersed crowd made the hearts of the pagans fluctuate, and the nomadic cavalry who had come to support before left in a hurry, which further lowered their morale.

And most of the steadfast believers died in the previous few sieges to the palace. Now facing such a massacre, the collapse is a foregone conclusion.

The attacking pagans have now become the one being attacked, and this being attacked soon turned into a real massacre. The swords kept slashing, and the blood flowed endlessly. One by one, souls went to the side of the gods they believed in. .

When the last pagan who resisted fell, there was cheering inside and outside the palace, and the Christians cheered for victory, for the end of the long day.

The same is true of the generals in command of the army, but it is a pity that Rostislav failed to find the body of that guy Zheergi. The prince of Moscow hated this guy's behavior of wanting his life.

Although it was possible that his body had been buried in the mound amidst the chaos, Rostislav had a strong feeling inside.

That is, this guy is not dead, he is fleeing in the wilderness outside the city now, this guy will not die so easily, his story is not over yet.

Rostislav was very sorry about this, and regretted that he could not kill this person.

However, he didn't think it was a bad thing. An adult claimant with Arpad's blood was active in the wilderness. His Majesty Bella's expression must be very exciting when he thinks of these.

This has given the Kingdom of Hungary an unstable factor, and Rostislav is looking forward to the next development.

But now is not the time to think about these, the most important thing is to meet the Christian princes they rescued.

The princes of Moscow and the Polish nobles rode their horses forward on the square full of corpses and cheering soldiers. This square used to be based on bricks and stones, but now the bricks and stones are covered with blood and corpses. Many corpses still have arrows, which can be seen in How fierce the battle is going on here.

On the other side, the soldiers were tying up the captured pagans. These guys were full of frustration, and some were even crying. After all, the moments before the riots, these people were nothing more than civilians, and their psychological quality was just that.

As for those die-hard heretics, their faces were full of toughness, and some people even insulted Christian soldiers.

In Rostislav's view, these people are very smart, and they are prodding others to kill him, because he knows that if he does not die, then everything he will go through next will be even more cruel.

It's just that those soldiers didn't pay attention to them. They were all veterans. Who didn't know what these guys were thinking. They even stopped those newcomers who couldn't bear it. How could the story end like this?
Rostislav felt very emotional in his heart, today is really an extremely exciting day.

Experienced so many plots, so many fights, from the battle inside the city to outside the city, and then from the battle outside the city to the inside of the city, this is really an exciting day.

He has also experienced many dangerous situations, but none of them can be compared with today in terms of scale and degree of conspiracy
And Rostislav, who was thinking like this, was suddenly stopped by a voice, and Prince Ross took a closer look, only to realize that he said Boleslaw of Poland, His Majesty the King of Poland.

At this moment, the Polish king was almost bathed in blood, and the blood from the dead souls of his men had already dyed his cloak bloody.

And there was no discomfort on the king's face, on the contrary, there was satisfaction, greedy satisfaction, a kind of satisfaction that made Rostislav very uncomfortable.

Although Rostislav is also proficient in battle and is used to all this bloody things, he has never been fanatical about the battlefield, and he will always hate the battlefield in his heart.

And another person who was bathed in blood beside the King of Poland made Rostislav even more upset, because this was his second uncle, Sviatoslav Yaroslavich.

The two of them each pulled a corpse and sat down, their faces were full of exhaustion, it seemed that the fighting had greatly consumed their energy.

And beside him are full of Polish knights and Russian soldiers, these people are also covered with blood, but they stand there upright, maintaining the dignity of the nobility and the power of the ruler, only from their heavy breathing Only then can he hear his exhaustion.

Rostislav didn't want to go forward at first, but since he had been called, Rostislav couldn't pretend he didn't see anything.

Enduring the discomfort in their hearts, Rostislav and Sichech walked in front of the two Christian princes.

"It seems that the two have achieved quite a lot, Your Majesty, and Second Uncle."

The Prince of Moscow and the Polish nobles dismounted together, and then they saluted slightly, while the two on the opposite side also stood up to return the salute, and then the Polish nobles automatically walked behind his king, and stood with the knights who insisted on their demeanor and power.

This made Rostislav take another look at this man. He didn't expect that he was still such a respectful courtier of the Polish king. He thought that this man who dared to command the army by himself would not be so respectful in front of the king.

But what Rostislav didn't know was that this nobleman was respectful to the king, but he also had his own ideas, not unconditional obedience to the king...

"Thanks to you guys coming. Today is really a dangerous day. It's the first time I've been surrounded like this for so many years. If you didn't win the battle outside, we would be finished."

King Boleslaw said that there was far more teasing in his words than complaints. It seems that His Majesty the King didn't feel much about the plight of being surrounded, and was even a little happy because of the fighting.

As for why he knew about the battle outside the city, it was because there was a high tower in Fechshwar's palace, and the soldiers on that tower could see the battle outside the city.

"Rostislav, you organized troops outside the city to defeat the heretics who came to help. You can say that you saved everyone in the city."

As for Sviatoslav, he didn't have as much jokes as Boleslaw. He thanked Rostislav very solemnly, and his feelings were very sincere.

This made the prince of Moscow a little uncomfortable. In his impression, the second uncle was a potential enemy, so how could he thank himself.

But in the face of this gratitude, it was natural to respond, and Rostislav had to return the gift rather unnaturally.

"This is what I should do, Second Uncle."

And his second uncle's gratitude was indeed sincere, because as an ambitious man, Svyatoslav also thought of the things that Rostislav had been fascinated by.

At that time, he thought that Rostislav would lead his army to leave, and as long as he left, the power of all Rus would fall into his hands.

Svyatoslav has no complaints about this, after all he is such a person, and his nephew did not make that choice.

Svyatoslav thought to himself that if it had been him, he would have done what Rostislav had not done.

So he sincerely thanked Rostislav, because this nephew did what he couldn't.

After thanking him, Rostislav became concerned about something else, that is, his second uncle was very close to the Polish king, and the two fought side by side, shoulder to shoulder.

Especially considering that the king of Poland is still single now, and the second uncle happens to have a daughter of the right age... Is this, this, this, should history have its inertia after all?

(Historically, the second uncle became the father-in-law of the Polish king.)
If the second uncle has the King of Poland to assist him, then he has to be cautious about some things...

"Okay, don't thank me here."

Boleslaw's impatient voice sounded. The King of Poland did not like such a scene.

"It's embarrassing for me."
