Chapter 366 A decisive blow

"Haha, Vsevolod is also blocking it. Is this all the wizarding prince is capable of?"

The Grand Duke of Kiev was surveying the overall battle from a high place. Now that the sun had risen, the darkness had basically been dispersed, and the shape of the battlefield had become clear. What he saw was that every front was developing in a direction that was favorable to them.

.

Izyaslav also felt proud when he felt relaxed due to the battle situation. Polotsk's army was nothing more than that. As long as the battle continued like this, victory would definitely belong to them.

And he was very proud that it was his first time to command such a large-scale war. There was nothing more satisfying than watching a huge army advance, and he also led this army to victory.

"Father, I think we should be more cautious. There are still quite a few reserves in Polotsk."

Next to the Grand Duke, his third son Svyatopolk said, he hesitated when he spoke. Svyatopolk rarely spoke in front of his father, so he could not help but hesitate.

The Kiev prince saw that the Polotsk reserve force was still large in number, and that the elite troops surrounding the Polotsk prince had not been dispatched.

"Why are you worried so much? Our strength is twice that of the Polotsk people! Twice! No matter they have such backhand, it is absolutely impossible to suppress us!"

Izyaslav's proud words rang in the sky, and young Svyatopolk could only frown, and then he could only stop mentioning this topic.

Since my father is so proud, I shouldn't throw cold water on him.

"Then father, please let me follow my brother to fight. I also want to see blood on the battlefield."

The topic he changed was to ask to go into battle. Svyatopolk did not want to stay here, so he would be more comfortable on the battlefield and be able to deal with any situation he encountered.

And Ijaslav didn't take it seriously, and naturally agreed to his son's request immediately, and he was quite happy. There is nothing that can test people more than being on the battlefield.

While Ijaslav was feeling complacent, the Prince of Witchcraft was preparing for the final assault.

Although the three waves of attacks by the Prince of Witchcraft caused many casualties to the coalition forces due to their suddenness, in the end, the coalition forces' superior strength stabilized the battle situation.

Now as the coalition soldiers return to their battlefield condition, the Polotsk people's military inferiority problem is being revealed, and the problem of their insufficient reserves is becoming more and more obvious.

So Vseslav needed a thunderous blow, the final blow, to open up the situation.

"Come on, my comrades, eat the herbs in your hands."

Following the words of the witchcraft prince, his soldiers obediently ate the unknown herbal mixture in their hands. The taste of the stuff was disgusting and the texture was very bad, but they still swallowed it.

The reason for letting them swallow it is simple, because it can bring strength, and most importantly, this thing has no side effects.

After swallowing it, they immediately felt warm all over, and then they immediately became energetic and all bad conditions disappeared.

The Prince of Witchcraft. Since the Prince of Witchcraft is called a Prince of Witchcraft, why would he not be so embarrassed to use some witchcraft? He has learned a lot from the pagans.

He was reprimanded many times by his priests for this, but in the end Vseslav chose to act as if he had not heard anything. He wanted the skills of the sorcerers even more. The skills of the sorcerers in ruling the wilderness were not simple.

Although he did not master the various medicines that the warlocks used as the basis for a life, he also learned how to configure them himself. Although the things he prepared were not as powerful as those warlocks, they were still enough to show their power on the battlefield.

He can make potions that cost lives, or potions that cost nothing but have average effects. Vseslav is proud of the latter. These potions of his are much milder and more stable than those of warlocks, and they will not cause harm.

What kind of effect does it produce?

He has always regretted that the speed of making these things is too slow, and the herbs are not easy to find, but he will not spread the secret recipe in order to expand production. You know, this thing is also part of his ruling skills, a prince who masters witchcraft.

In any case, he is more intimidating to the people than ordinary princes.

"Everyone, everyone, the rise and fall of the principality depends on our actions!"

Vseslav's tone was decisive and firm. He had already made up his mind to die at this moment. Whether he could change the situation of the battle depends on this blow now!

"Long live!"

The soldiers responded firmly. They knew what the prince wanted to do and they were willing to do it. At the same time, the effect of the drug made everyone braver, and then the army began to take action.

As Vseslav charged, not only his personal soldiers, but also almost all the reserves, including the pagans who came to participate in the battle, as well as selected Polotsk militiamen, as he said, everything depends on

How effective is this final blow?

However, due to the vastness of the battlefield, the coalition forces have not yet discovered the Polotsk people's preparations for an attack. For example, in Rostislav, the prince of Moscow was still commenting on the troops on the battlefield.

The performance of Kiev's troops is fully worthy of its status as the first city of Rus. They are the best in the entire army in terms of equipment and organization, and they firmly support the main front.

And the best thing is that they cooperate very well. The chief executives of each district can subconsciously cooperate with neighboring troops. This is not something that all troops can do.

Regarding Chernigov's troops, Rostislav rated them as elite. It seems that his second uncle has been training the militiamen under his command over the years.

The militiamen advanced resolutely with their spears. Mrs. Chernigo's spears were very interesting. Most of them had a small hook under the spears and were slightly longer than ordinary spears.

And if this hook is used well, it can directly pull down the shield, and then Mrs. Chernigo will attack.

This made the Prince of Moscow attach great importance to it. It was not a good thing for his second uncle to become stronger, especially for Rostislav.

As for Pereyaslav, this was Rostislav's first time seeing Pereyaslav's army. He had seen the state of Kiev and Chernigov before, but Pereyaslav had never seen it.

The performance of the Pereyaslavs reminded Rostislav of those brave barbarians in the literature. They would persist in fighting even if their front line was broken. This should be the product of their struggle with the nomads on the grasslands.

As for their enemies, the Polotsk army, Rostislav's attitude was very solemn.

There is no doubt that the Polotsk people are by no means weak. Each of the three waves of attacks was outstanding. Vseslav is undoubtedly an excellent battlefield controller.

But his chance was only in those three strikes. As the coalition forces took down those three strikes, it was impossible for him to succeed.

For the people of Polotsk, failure is inevitable.

However, Rostislav did not relax because of this. The Polotsk people must have a back-up plan, that's for sure. Apart from other things, they still have a lot of reserve teams that have not been used, so they still have some spare capacity.

And just when Rostislav was thinking this, there was a burst of noise from the central front. The sound was filled with panicked shouts, followed by screams, and then the Kiev militia's battle line was clearly visible.

Start to back away.

"How is this going?"

Rostislav shouted subconsciously, but no one answered the Prince of Moscow because no one knew what happened.

But next thing everyone knew, they saw the Polotsk people's flag advancing in the Kiev front, while the Kiev people were either retreating in embarrassment or shrinking.

"Let's get everyone moving! We have a job!"

Seeing this scene, Rostislav naturally reacted immediately to what Polotsk was doing. It was obvious that the Polotsk people's final counterattack had begun.

And looking at it like this, the situation this time is quite fierce.

But Rostislav was not afraid of this, but was very excited to finally go into battle!
