king of ros

Chapter 295 The Scene of Victory
The collapse of the Bulgars was as unstoppable as a flood sloping down from the top of the mountain. They threw away their armor and weapons, and fled like the most despised cowards in their mouths, fleeing from the battlefield.

Originally, many people still had the strength to fight, but with the appearance of the Rurik trident behind them and the disappearance of Khan himself, they still chose to escape.

The coach and the team are all gone, so of course we have to run faster, the faster the better.

Moreover, their battle line has been crushed by the iron cavalry. The previous counterattack by the Ross people directly pierced the entire front line, and there were enemies everywhere. Fighting was no longer feasible.

As for those lords who came here because of threats or lures, they ran faster. They came here for profit, but now it is obvious that the war is not feasible, so they will naturally have oil on their feet.

And these people ran and created more chaos, shouting things like "The Khan has fled!" "The kinslayer has deserted!"

Many Bulgars surrendered directly, but they all surrendered by choosing their targets. Surrendering to the Rus would only end in slavery, but surrendering to Adam’s Bulgars was different. Adam needed them, the Bulgars .

In the Ross camp, there were countless cheers. Originally, the main force of Rostislav entered the arena at this time, and now they directly joined the cover. possible.

The priests accompanying the army shouted that the miracles on the battlefield came from the power of the Virgin. They held up the portraits of the Virgin on both sides of the river, showing the surrounding soldiers how great the Virgin is and boasting of the power of the Virgin.

The soldiers were also naturally infected by such fanatical emotions. From the soldiers' point of view, having a god standing by their side would surely make them victorious, and they became even more fanatical when chasing down the Bulgar deserters.

At a glance, soldiers chanting the name of the Virgin are everywhere in sight, and Polei, who made this arrangement, smiled with satisfaction. I believe that after this battle is over, many people will convert to Christ Bar.

In fact, this is also one of the several plans Rostislav planned to reverse the situation when the situation on the battlefield is unfavorable. The prince of Moscow told his subordinates about this very soon.

But Polei seized a better opportunity and made it achieve better results. Seeing this scene, Rostislav couldn't help admiring from the bottom of his heart. Using this trick at this time is indeed at its best Effect.

And on Rostislav's side, the Prince of Moscow is sitting on a stone with a sword, covered with blood, and more blood on the sword.

There were a lot of cuts and cut marks on the chain mail. The fierce battle before made the Muscovite himself very impressed. If it weren't for this strong armor, he would definitely be finished.

The prince's body was covered with followers, and their condition was not very good, but they still stood upright beside the prince, protecting the prince's safety, while their feet were full of blood.

His cloak had been hacked and stained with blood, and was basically useless, so Rostislav took it off.

At that moment, Polei rode up to Rostislav, dismounted in front of the prince, and saluted him.

"Congratulations, Lord Rostislav, you have won a victory that will be sung in the epic. You defeated tens of thousands of Bulgars with only a few thousand people."

"I think it is a negative example of fighting across the river. This battle was too difficult."

Rostislav was not very angry about the flattery, he was not very angry when he saw the troops on the pontoon bridge that were still crossing the river continuously, and these people still had fanatical fighting spirit and greed for spoils written on their faces.

Too much power has not been put into the battlefield, and the numerical advantage that should have been exerted has not been exerted at all.

He knew better than anyone else how thrilling this battle was, and he didn't want to make the battle like this. He himself had risked himself several times, but the form forced him to do so.

"Fortunately, at least this kind of adventure has paid off what we should have."

Facing the flattery being refuted in public, Polei didn't show any expression of shame or anger. This old man has experienced too many ups and downs, how could this matter move his heart.

These words spoke to Rostislav's heart, because as this sentence said, they defeated Akkad's main force in this battle and wiped out a large number of his core forces. This gain is completely worthwhile.

Akkad's rule is based on force, and his strong suppression of various places relies on the army. If there is no army, then this guy is nothing.

It can be said that this battle wiped out most of Akkad's ruling power.

"My lord Rostislav, I think we should send someone to spread the news of the defeat. Do you think it's okay?"

Seeing Rostislav nodding, Polei hurriedly continued, but this time the prince of Moscow shook his head, and then motioned to his relatives to help him up.

"No, deserters will help us with this. By the way, where is Adam?"

"Master Adam."

When Adam was mentioned, Polei's expression changed a little. It was unhappy, which was noticed by Rostislav, but he didn't speak immediately, but looked at what Polei had to say.

"He is receiving the surrender and cheers of the Bulgars."

When Polei said this, he also turned his head to the side. Rostislav followed his gaze and saw that Adam was surrounded by Bulgar soldiers who were cheering for him, accepting the surrender.

The Bulgar lords offered their weapons, and Adam's attendants accepted, and the khan himself lifted the surrenders and accepted them, just like a real ruler.

Seeing this scene, Rostislav understood where Polei's dissatisfaction came from, and he just smiled slightly, and then spoke.

"Adam is not our puppet, he is the real Bulgar Khan. We came to Bulgar just for this scene, my friend."

Rostislav is happy to see this happen, but for those who have always subconsciously regarded Adam as a puppet, this is another matter.

"I know... but I'm a little pity after all. Since our ancestors, we have always hoped to conquer this land, and now we have indeed set foot on this land, but... well, speaking of it, I am also old now."

Polei, who seemed very seasoned just now, has now expressed his emotions. As a Kyiv nobleman, he grew up listening to the stories of his ancestors' conquests. He has an extremely strong desire to conquer Volga Bulgar, especially the looting of that big city desire.

It's a pity that according to Rostislav's strategy, that is almost impossible, and he is already old.

"Keeping this city and country, we can gain more, and our descendants will not be troubled by conflicts in this area in the future. Polei, one day our descendants can enter this city peacefully and rule it , just watch."

To this Rostislav only said that his younger generation was much more open-minded than Polei in this matter.

He is not a lunatic with a head full of killing, he will do things that are beneficial, and forget about the one-time pleasure, there is no need for that.

It was at this time that Rostislav noticed that some people had started looting corpses on the battlefield, which made him laugh, these people's movements were really fast.

But it also reminded him - it's time to clean up the battlefield.

Next, Rostislav was ordering the end of the war. Although the battle was over, they still needed to clean up the mess.

But what Rostislav didn't expect was that with this victory, those stragglers who failed to participate in the battle would cause him a lot of trouble.

--------

While the Ross people were celebrating their victory, Akkad Khan was running away in embarrassment.

Compared with the huge team that Akkad Khan used to travel with in the past, Khan's team has shrunk too much now.

And the banner of the Bulgar dragon is now drooping on the flagpole, just like their morale.

This also means the decline of its power. The Bulgar Khan's power depends on the existence of his army cronies. There are only a few hundred people left here. It is very difficult for these people to do anything.

But fortunately for Khan, he successfully brought out the boys from the religious academy. Since the battle on Shazhou had failed and his strength suffered heavy losses, he had to start another strategy, one that could at least make the Winners are uncomfortable and even troubled strategies.

As the team advanced, a village appeared in front of the Bulgars. It was a typical Bulgar village, and there was even a mosque in it.

Seeing the village appear, the defeated soldiers finally cheered up a lot, which meant that they could finally rest. Today they have been running for almost half a day.

At the beginning, they could still see some Ross chasing soldiers and Bulgar deserters behind them, and they even saw deserters slaughtering villages and robbing pedestrians.

Normally, Akkad would not be relentless in dealing with such behavior, but it was different now, he was still busy running away.

But soon they couldn't see this anymore. The surrounding scenes were relatively calm, and there were no traces of panic caused by the war. It seemed that the news had not reached here yet, and the Ross people had not arrived here yet.

It's just that Akkad Khan stopped the team here, and then he traded for Jadby, a talent he single-handedly promoted in recent years.

"Jadebi, take your classmates and leave, you can't go to Bulgar."

"Why? Master Akkad, did we do something wrong?"

Jadby was very puzzled by this. When he first learned that Akkad called him, he had made some psychological preparations, so he thought that Khan was asking him to perform some death mission—Jadeby still remembered that Khan was How could he treat his son so cruelly?

But now, what he knew was that Akkad wanted him to lead people away, and those people were still his classmates, and these people must listen to him.

Jadby was ecstatic about this, and he didn't want to return to Bulgar, because he knew that Bulgar would not last long.

Although the city is strong, the premise of holding it is enough soldiers and enough loyalty, and if there is no such condition, the Khan has almost lost all his loyal subordinates.

Of course, he definitely couldn't do this in his mouth, and he would definitely be punished by Khan for saying this. Their Khan has never been a tolerant person.

"Of course not, Jadby. I just want to plant some seeds. The legalists in the city will leave there soon. As long as you are still here, there is still hope for everything."

"Hope?" Jadby asked uncontrollably, and he felt that Khan seemed to be planning something.

"The hope of rebellion, the hope of maintaining the orthodox faith, that bastard who converted will never be able to sit firmly on the Bulgarian throne, and he will never deviate this country from the orthodox faith."

Hearing this, Jadby understood what Akkad meant. Although the appearance was shrouded in all kinds of great words, the core was very simple.

Akkad wants to spread the essence of Bulgarian Islam in the countryside, and as long as these essences are still there, even if Adam enters the city of Bulgar, he will not be able to secure his position, and the Rus will be exhausted. this.

"I see, what about you?"

"Me? All this requires a martyr. I am not afraid of death. The key is to die worthwhile."

As soon as this remark came out, Jadby finally took a serious look at the Khan in front of him this time. All along, his obedience to the Khan was only out of his authority and his strength. Jadby at most feared his ruthlessness.

As for the image of the Islamic guard he created for himself, Akkad completely regarded it as a personal design, and he just needed the support of the Islamic legalists to do so.

But this time, Jadby finally developed a feeling of respect for this person. No matter what Akkad's purpose is, but after all, there is a saying that does not matter what one thinks. As long as he does such a thing, then he is a great man. Man is a banner of resistance.

"Then, I wish you success in your career, Mr. Akkad."

Jadby's words had never been more respectful than now, and then he said goodbye to Akkad, and he had to integrate and lead his classmates.

Khan naturally nodded in agreement, and watching them leave, a smile appeared on Khan's face, the smile of a successful plot.

Adam, Rostislav, I will never give you peace, you just wait to get into trouble.

Then, Bulgar Khan looked at the dozens of people left after a large number of people were missing. He also looked at the sky and found that it was already dark.

"Let's go, let's go to that village, rest there, collect some food, let the horses rest, the Ross people won't chase them at night, they are busy cleaning the battlefield. By the way, don't say I am Kade!"

After giving the order, Akkad's entourage let out a burst of cheers, and they could finally rest.

But Akkad took off his crown from his head and stuffed it in his pocket, and he tore off the fine clothes on his body.

Akkad is also a character who has been on the battlefield for a long time. They know that after a defeat, if you show that you are a big man, you will not have any followers around you.

Then you will find that the most obedient peasants on weekdays draw their weapons for some reason, and then they rush towards him like a tidal wave.

In contrast, it is not easy to get into trouble by acting like an ordinary rout.

However, Akkad forgot one thing at this time, he and his entourage are covered with iron clothes, which is not cheap.
