Chapter 283 River Crossing Plan
Seeing Adam's leaving figure, Rostislav sighed uncontrollably.

This kid is still a little lacking in experience, and the control of his emotions and will is not very good. Just now, he simply wrote all his thoughts on his face.

Fortunately, this kid still has time, he is still young, and he has plenty of time to study. I think he came here in the same way back then.

As for letting Adam's Bulgars act as forwards, it is impossible for Rostislav to really let them die. If it is for this, it will violate his original intention.

He more wanted to use this to experience and experience this kid, he has not had the ability to lead a battle independently for so many years.

Rostislav quickly put Adam's affairs behind him, and ordered his attendants to call for the generals to come in, and he had to discuss with them the battle to cross the river.

Following the prince's order, Gevalan and Polei walked in, and they were ashamed to say that there were not many people in Rostislav's [-]-strong army who had the ability to lead the army, and these two were the only ones at present.

Gevalan has experienced so many battles, and he is still the commander's deputy, so his experience in this area is naturally impeccable.

Polei led an army on the battlefield when his grandfather ruled Kyiv, and may even have the deepest understanding of war here.

Polei's complexion was good, he didn't want to be an elderly person at all, he didn't pant a little while wearing armor, while Gevalan was dressed meticulously as always, looking extremely serious.

Although Polei said that he hadn't appeared in the Moscow center in recent years, Rostislav always remembered his father's old friend, his loyalty and reliability, and his ability on the battlefield.

The old general of Kyiv also managed White Lake City very well. Over the years, the town that was once occupied by the Visi tribe quickly regained its vitality, and the local Vixi people were also tamed.

This time Polei directly led nearly a thousand people here, this is a proper nobleman.

Under his administration, White Lake City's trade flourished, and the merchant fleet continued to expand, and these ships just helped Rostislav solve logistical problems, and even had a lot of surplus.

Both of them saluted Rostislav, and the prince, beckoning them to sit down in front of them, took out a map and laid it out in front of them. .

The reason why Rostislav has not crossed the Kama River is because he is doing this. He must first understand the hydrology of the river before he can arrange battles.

"Gevalan, Polei, this is the river situation of the Kama River. Let's see where we should cross the river. I want to hear your opinions."

The Prince of Moscow turned the map over and placed it before the two veterans, whom he wished to obtain their opinion.

The two looked at it for a while, then put down the map. During this time, they have been wandering around the Kama River to judge the terrain and choose a suitable place to cross the river.

So looking at the map now is just a review, because many things have long been memorized.

"Rostislav, in my opinion, the most suitable place for crossing the river is some sandbars in the north, where the Kama River is divided by many sandbars, which is a suitable place for crossing the river, and the river here is gentle, so we can build multiple pontoon bridges at the same time and go directly to it. The sandbars, and by capturing the sandbars we control the river."

Polei gave his opinion very directly, that is, to cross the river from the sandbars on the north side of the Kama River.

"I object, it's too easy to ambush here."

Gevalan immediately objected. As a person who has been tested in the field, he knows too well that places like Shazhou are the easiest place to make troubles, because he directly objected.

"But where else can we go if we don't go to the sandbar? Do we go directly to the Kama River? If we transport people over one by one, we will die, and build a pontoon bridge? Our boats are not so luxurious, and the water flow here is too large. I'm in a hurry, and I don't know where the Bulgar fleet is."

Polei immediately confronted the captain of the personal army, and his words made Rostislav's eyes darken, because he also understood that this was basically their choice now.

"I'm still opposed to starting from the sandbar. The terrain there is too complicated. Once we enter, we will fall into a fight. Lord Rostislav, can't we wait for news from Suvar?"

Guvalan still insisted on his own opinion. As the captain of the personal army who has been fighting on the front line for a long time, he knew too well that such a place would definitely turn the battle into a meat grinder, which was not what he wanted to see.

The captain of the personal army knew that such a battle must rely on Rostislav's inner strength to wrestle in the densely packed sandbar, and he knew very well that the prince did not want the core elite to suffer too much damage.

"There will be no news from Suvar. Those Bulgars are in their trouble. I doubt what Akkad has done. He has done nothing during this period of our occupation of the west bank of the Kama River. I suspect that it is in the Address internal instability."

Rostislav directly shattered Guvalan's fantasy. In fact, the prince has not announced this matter, so Guvalan and the others thought that everything would develop according to the established steps.

"What happened to Suval? How did this happen? How did Gevalan buy those guys?"

Polei was surprised by this. Polei has been studying the domestic situation in Bulgar all the way, and he is still very clear about the internal situation in Bulgar. It is difficult for him to accept the emergence of this situation.

After all, the conflict between Bulgar and Suvar is so strong, just like the relationship between Kyiv and Chernihiv, how could those people not seize this opportunity.

"Buying, threatening, and even a coup d'état. In short, there are still many ways. Akkad, a kinslayer, even dared to kill his father. What else can't he do?"

Rostislav said that this is not surprising. It seems that they still overestimated the Bulgars in Suvar. In hindsight, they should not have counted on this group of people in the first place.

But the prince was not depressed because of this, because he still has an absolute advantage in the proportion of troops. During this time, his scouts have been crossing the river to investigate and judge the number of Bulgar defenders in various places.

"Let's follow Polei's method and cross the river from the sandbar area in the north. That area is large enough for our army to enter. Even Akkad must set up many troops here. In order to wipe out the enemy troops, I want to Let the nomadic cavalry cross the river as soon as possible."

After receiving Rostislav's order, the two immediately prepared to pass on the order, but at this moment the Queen of Moscow added a word.

"Let Adam muster his elite, I need his troops as a forward."

These words made Gevalan and Polei pause for a while, and then they took the order and left without asking any more questions.
