Chapter 411 Cavalry Battle Formation
"Master Yang, isn't it too reckless to launch an attack now?"

"Little Rurik, it is precisely because of this that we should launch an attack. The whole army is counting on us to change the situation of the battle. Look at the trash in front of us? Polovets, and Pereyaslav People, are they capable of stopping our heavy cavalry? I feel sorry for those light cavalry, don't you want to show it in front of your father?"

"But Master Yang, I think we should be more cautious, isn't it too reckless to attack like this..."

"The battle opportunity is fleeting, little Rurik, you can't wait any longer, your father certainly doesn't want to see you dawdling like this! Blow the horn, let us disperse these light cavalry first!"

The melodious horn sounded, conveying the order to attack to the whole army. Yang led the troops to prepare to advance, and the young Rurik also made up his mind to swallow what he wanted to say. In this case, Then hit it.

Yang knew that he was taking the Prince of Moscow and his good friend Rostislav's son on an adventure, but that's not how things went in battle, that's how they came here back then.

The mayor of Suzdal has always been a person who will firmly implement after making a decision. Unless there is an existence like Rostislav, no one can change his mind.

In fact, little Rurik did not show timidity, he just hesitated to attack, but Rurik has always regarded it as a matter of course for stepping into battle, as the son of a prince should be.

The two ran to the left of the eager Ross cavalry, who had heard the horn of the attack, and the standard bearer rode forward alongside them.

Yang leaned forward, raised his big hand and waved forward. Under the command of the flag and the horn, the Ross cavalry lined up in three long arcs.

However, the process of forming the battle line was messed up, which made Yang very unhappy, and his brows were all frowned. He was the commander of Rostislav's personal entourage back then.

It's better to just shake his head, after all, the time is different, and it is no longer possible for him to command the entourage of the Prince of Moscow, Yang can't help but miss those old days.

But these Ross heavy cavalry were the elite of Northern Ross after all, and they still stumbled to complete the battle line, and then followed him to kill the Southern Army light cavalry on the opposite side at a leisurely pace.

So many cavalry galloped and raised a huge cloud of dust to accompany Ross's cavalry army, which attracted the attention of many people. The Polovets and Pereyaslavs were a little surprised. They didn't expect the Northern Army to actually Launching the attack so early, it was expected that the wandering would take a long time.

But they still bravely put up the battle line, even if the armor on their bodies is not as good as that of the opposite side, their momentum must not be lost.

Here are the elites of the grasslands and the frontier, they are not afraid of any enemy.

Monomakh marched at the head of the Pereyaslav cavalry, and Vsevolod handed over to his son the best part of his army.

Monomakh reluctantly glanced at Saru Khan beside him, his eyes full of disgust.

If it wasn't for the needs of the battle, who would want to stand side by side with this damn nomad leader? What's even more disgusting is that this guy gave him a smile. This guy must be disgusting him!

But now I can't control that much, the battle is the most important thing, and Monomacher can only hope that Polovts will not overturn.

Soon, arrows were continuously sprinkled in the queues of both sides. From time to time, some unlucky ones fell off their horses and were trampled by the crowd, but more people still kept moving forward.

After reaching the impact distance, the war horses on both sides galloped up. This time, no one fled halfway, especially on the southern army side. There are elites who have passed the test of bloody battles here, and they have experienced such things as hedging many times.

This is a very rare sight. The cavalry on both sides charged bravely, which also means that the next scene will be very tragic.

Then came the staggered war horses, some rolled off the horses, some had their limbs cut off, and some were stabbed directly. Death and blood are so worthless at this moment, and the screams are continuous, accompanied by the flying dust. everywhere.

Yang raised his arm high and slashed at the prairie cavalry.The light long sword slashed at the opponent's heavy scimitar, and the prairie cavalry attacked him again.The mayor of Suzdal hit the horse's belly with his knee, and the horse jumped away in time, and the enemy's knife cut through the air where he was standing just now.

Just when Yang interrupted this person, a javelin suddenly flew from nowhere, blowing the guy's head and causing his body to fall weakly.

"Cooperate with your comrades! Fight them off! They won't last long! Fight them off!"

At this moment, the people and horses around him were all in a mess, and the crisp sound of weapons clashing one after another, some people fell off their horses, but others continued to replace them, some were stabbed to death, some were trampled into flesh, and the horses fell down from time to time. There are also horses that have lost their riders.

The light cavalry of the southern army was indeed extremely tenacious. Despite their inferior equipment, they fought on par with the heavy cavalry of the northern army, and even killed most of the cavalry in the first row of the northern army.

But once the initial momentum passed, under the counterattack of Ross's heavy cavalry, although the Confederate cavalry were all brave and fearless, they still inevitably fell under the shining silver sword.

During the fight, our young prince Rurik had just dealt with a prairie cavalry wearing scale armor but no helmet, and what he did for convenience became the cause of his death.

But a Pereyaslav cavalry came around on horseback, and the armor on the opponent's horse hit his horse, and the painful and frightened horse stood up high and neighed.

Rurik hurriedly turned his horse to avoid the opponent, raised his knife over the horse's head and slashed at the opponent. The knife slipped away on the Persian's armored arm.

The man slashed at him with a big axe, but Rurik took advantage of his opening and closing and stabbed him directly in the face with his sword.

I can no longer stay in this melee circle.Rurik thought of this, saying that Rurik was really strong when he entered the battle for the first time. After going through such a fierce hedging, he survived the scuffle even though he was separated from all his riders.

Rurik managed to get out of the melee circle with great difficulty. He was blocked and killed by many teams along the way, but he managed to make it out in the end.

After leaving the melee circle, a small group of cavalry in front of Rurik was his cavalry, which made Rurik extremely happy.

And they are besieging two Pereyaslav cavalry wrapped in full body armor.A javelin plunged into the body of one of the armored cavalrymen, piercing his lower abdomen, and blood dripped down from the point of the spear protruding from his back.

The man screamed, fell to the ground with a javelin, and was trampled by the horse.

Liu Like shouted, and in the blink of an eye, he had already run among the cavalry, and his long sword cut into the neck of another armored cavalry.

This guy didn't have a neck guard, so if he didn't come to take a knife, he would be so sorry for his kindness.

"Lord Rurik, I'm very sorry that we were unable to follow you."

The riders immediately recognized the owner, and after being pleasantly surprised, they were terrified. Although they said that the owner was fine, they didn't have to die, but they had to peel off their skins if they didn't die in the report.

"Okay, everyone, the important thing right now is to fight."

Of course Rurik knew their worries, so he dropped such a word of comfort, and the knights immediately surrounded him in twos and threes, and then the prince looked towards the battlefield.

The end of this cavalry battle has come out, the light cavalry of the Confederate Army is breaking up one after another, and they have won!
However, this retreat is an organized retreat, not a collapse. They did not fail, but for the Northern Army, their goal has been achieved, and this is what they want!
"Monomakh and Khan Napolovets are quite clever."

Rurik looked at the retreating southern army and commented, but he didn't even notice the trace of gratitude in his voice, because this way he didn't have to face Monomakh.

Yang yelled in the army formation and asked the soldiers to form a team, but many people were immersed in the fighting, and Yang's orders seemed speechless, which made the mayor of Suzdal very angry.

But at this moment, a horn sounded from their flanks, and Rurik looked subconsciously, and saw a group of Confederate iron cavalry rushing towards them!
