king of ros

Chapter 61 Lore Counterattack
To outsiders who don't know the situation on the battlefield, Rostislav's choice is really crazy. The situation in the battle has already deteriorated to this point. He doesn't stick to his position honestly, looks for opportunities to escape, but chooses to take the initiative to attack. Isn't this sending him to death?
But Rostislav knew that this was not a grand strategy to die, but to reverse the situation of the war.

After Prince Ross jumped up the slope, he could clearly see the entire battlefield, and what he saw was that the main force of the Polovites had already rushed to the central army, and their elites were rushing to the right flank. Already self-disintegrated, without any troops attacking.

The nomads' main formation is extremely empty now, only Khan's guards and some nomadic soldiers, and some weak infantry are guarding the light yellow banner, and the Khan himself is also standing under the banner. Among Khan's forces there were no Polovets.

In other words, there was no obstruction between Rostislav and Polovets Khan.

If you don't launch a counterattack at this time, when will you launch a counterattack?Therefore, after seeing the situation clearly, Rostislav chose to attack without hesitation. The attack will reverse the unfavorable situation, and may even take off the head of the nomadic Khan and the commander-in-chief of the Polovets in one fell swoop. Complete reversal!

"Blow the trumpet, Jan, let's all rise up, we're betting, we can't keep a hand, let's win glory under the watchful eye of St. George, may we win as he slays the dragon !"

The prince raised the cross and silently prayed to the name of the Lord of Armies, hoping that the god would bless him. At the same time, he also hoped that the martial arts angel would give the warriors in battle supreme protection.

Following his order, the Ross people began to prepare for the fight, the cavalry was whispering the last word to the horse, the infantry was preparing to charge, the guards were praying silently, and the soldiers were leading some unowned horses These were tied to the carriages, and thus several chariots were made.

"Yes, Your Highness Rostislav! In the name of Saint George!"

--------

Khan was thinking about what to do if Yaroslav was captured after the victory of this battle. Should he extort a large amount of ransom or make his skull into a wine glass to accompany his ancestors?

But the melodious bullhorn sounded from the left wing that he thought had collapsed, Bruce Khan suddenly realized something, and looked towards the mountain on the left.

However, the army formation that should have collapsed did not know when it stood up again, and countless red shields stood proudly, and the most eye-catching thing was that the battle line formed by the red shields was moving towards them.

On both sides of the shield wall, Ross cavalry and chariots marched under the gaze of St. George's flag. The sound of wheels turning and horseshoes galloping was mixed together. During this period, there were also Ross's war cries. They seemed to be shouting St. George The name.

"Let the infantry line up, blow the horn, and let the people in front come back to help!"

Khan's expression of being sure of victory disappeared at this moment, and there was only eagerness and panic. He never thought that the left-wing Rus, who should have collapsed by himself, still had troops.

The prairie infantry hurriedly lined up in front of the Rus under the call of the Khan. They were composed of farmers on the prairie, slaves and losers. These people's faces were full of bitterness. They didn't want to participate in this war. I don't even want to work for the damn Polovts. They usually do all kinds of dirty work in the army, but the scimitars of the cavalry behind them force them to stand together, using shields made of door panels and short The impotent spear went to face the Rus army.

A small number of elite nomads gathered next to the Khan's banner, ready to protect their Khan, and the horn to order the Polovets to come back was sounded, ordering the troops on the front line to come back.

It's just that these horns didn't play the role they should.

"This is? Something happened to my father?"

Saru, the son of the Khan covered in blood, suddenly raised his head, surrounded by chaotic fighting scenes, the son of the Khan was in the middle of the extremely chaotic battlefield, and he couldn't see what was happening behind him, but he heard the call of reinforcements. orders.

Saru swung his scimitar, cut off the arm of the soldier in front of him, and then stepped forward mercilessly on his horse, killing the Ross man wearing a pointed helmet.

"Why are you... bothering at this time!"

In front of Saru, a war horse carrying Polovite heavy cavalry ran past, but the rider was lying on the horse, with a javelin with forked branches on his back.

The attack of the Polovites on the right-wing Russians was not smooth. The violent impact indeed broke through the Ross shield wall, but as the Ross heavy cavalry and black hats broke out from their flanks, the situation changed in an instant.

The impact of Polovt's heavy cavalry was immediately contained, and the horses were mixed together. The soldiers fought at zero distance, and every blow caused people to be injured or even died. The Ross infantry who was almost defeated seized the opportunity. Ijaslav's guy was on the front line to boost morale,
The battle turned into a complete melee, infantry and cavalry, personal soldiers and warriors, there is no front, no organization, both sides are mixed together, enemies may appear in all directions, and friends and foes can only be barely identified through armor.

Every moment infantrymen were stabbed to death under their horses, every moment cavalrymen were dragged off their horses and had their throats cut, and every moment someone fell under the merciless arrows. The battlefield was as chaotic as a pot of hell.

As the leader, Saru took the lead to lead the way for everyone according to the tradition of the grassland, but the more he fought, the more he found himself in the vortex of chaos, and he couldn't escape at all, let alone command.

That's why Saru felt a headache, now he can't get out of this situation, let alone lead this group of nobles and warriors under his command.

The Khan's son's headache didn't last long, because a Ross cavalryman was charging towards him wielding a long sword. Seeing this, Saru didn't think too much about it, so why not worry about it, let's save his life first.

--------

In the Chinese army, everyone heard the horn, but most of the Polovets didn't even know what was going on, let alone react.

As for the chiefs and leaders, they knew what was going on, but because of various original plans, such as being trapped in a battle formation and having too much loss, few people responded to the loud horn. .

It can be said that Khan's trumpet blowing was completely lonely, and few people were willing to come to rescue him as a Khan.

"Tengri..."

Bruce shouted the name of the god, he really wanted to escape from the battlefield, escape from the banner, but he knew he couldn't do so, it would mean the defeat of the war, and the destruction of his political prestige—and the grassland never gave up on the losers. Intolerance.
