When the Russians appeared under the city of Kashen, the Bulgar sentries on duty on top of the city had also noticed their arrival.
Everyone looked so panicked at the sudden appearance of the Ross army.
The laziness these days caused everyone to be unaware of what to do, caught off guard, and at a loss, which was extremely ridiculous.
In the end, the nobleman in charge reacted promptly, beating and scolding his soldiers to blow the war trumpet to announce the enemy's arrival.
And at this moment, the enemies also began to gallop towards Kashen, and the flag of St. George Slaying the Dragon was fluttering in the wind.
————————
When the Ross army came, Alaire was resting in his tent. His tent was right next to the city wall, and most of the soldiers were stationed here to deal with sudden situations.
This is a solution Allaire came up with under the current situation where he has insufficient control over the army.
Since I can't command them, why don't I just place them in the areas where the enemy will definitely attack when they come.
In this way, even if you can't command them, they can still buy some time as human shields.
Of course, in order to get everyone to agree, he naturally had to set an example.
Suddenly, Allaire heard the deafening sound of a horn, and then felt the ground shake. This sound was never unfamiliar to him who had experienced the battlefield - it was the sound of a large number of cavalry movements!
"Hussein!" Alaire rushed out of the tent subconsciously, "Where are the enemies?"
When Allaire walked out of the tent, he saw an extremely chaotic scene.
Due to the slack during this period, the Bulgar people's fighting will has dropped to the extreme, and no one has the intention to fight. Moreover, many senior officers have been arrested, so now the regular soldiers can't find generals, and the generals can't find soldiers. All
People are running around like headless flies.
The axe-wielding guard named Hussein finally walked in front of his master. He had just been blocked by a large group of panicked soldiers.
When the guard was about to say something to his master, suddenly a shrill cry came from the city wall.
"Enemy attack!"
Following the call, Allaire found a large number of heavily armored cavalry breaking up the hastily assembled battle line under the gap in Kashen's city wall. However, the Bulgars completely collapsed at the first touch, leaving behind a field of unrecognizable corpses.
Then they rode their horses over the short fence, poured into Kashen and started killing. The flag above their heads had an angel slaying a dragon.
However, Allaire's plan succeeded. Bulgar soldiers stationed near the gap in the city wall came and temporarily stopped the enemy's advance - at the cost of their lives.
"Damn it, why did Rostislav arrive so quickly?"
Allaire's face looked extremely ugly.
"Forget it, luckily there is some buffering time. Hussein, ask my cronies to gather the team! The Russians are coming! Also, report the news to Lord Aqad immediately!"
While Alaire was trying to gather his team, the side that took the blow from the Ross Knights was in chaos.
Due to poor defense and lax discipline, the troops under the flag of the fire-breathing dragon fell into a state of disorder, and the Rus's set fires everywhere, exacerbating this bad situation.
The situation continues to deteriorate, and heavily armed Ross knights continue to pour into Kashen. Their first purpose is not to kill the enemy, but to cause chaos in various ways:
To deal with the frightened soldiers, they either killed or drove them away. They threw torches in their hands toward the tents, waved their swords, and made various war cries to intimidate the surrounding enemies.
Fortunately, under the organization of Alaire's cronies, many Bulgar troops have restored order. After all, many units actually have no commanders. They usually ignore Allaire, but now is wartime.
These Bulgars were thrown into the battlefield one after another, blocking the Russian invasion wave, but they could only barely block it.
The entire army is passively defending. No one is willing to fight bravely. Everyone is discouraged. No one wants to lose their life here.
"Alas, why did the warriors of the past become like this?"
Looking at the battle situation, Alaire said to the knight beside him.
"grown ups?"
The guard standing next to him looked at him in confusion. This was the first time he had seen this gentleman say such depressing words.
Alaire has always given everyone the impression of being calm and confident, always exuding a convincing temperament.
"Look at those people, where is their original courage now? They are all warriors, nobles of Bulgaria. But now some people are pushing forward, while others are staying behind. This can be regarded as fighting under the same banner.
Comrade?"
The convincing warrior said these words and sighed silently.
"However, if we win here, what's the point? Failure is already inevitable."
His voice when he said this was so soft that it seemed like the whisper of an ancient wandering spirit.

"In the name of St. George!"
Rostislav, who was shouting the holy name of Saint George, led his entourage on horseback and rushed into a group of Bulgar archers. These archers obviously did not expect that there would be enemies coming out from behind, and it was not in vain that Rostislav bypassed a group of Bulgar archers.
Big circle.
The prince who had eliminated these archers led his troops directly into the back of the Bulgar infantry who were fighting with the cavalry in front, causing the shield wall to shatter.
The Bulgars did not have any will to fight to the death, and everyone chose to escape.
However, after running a few steps, they were shot down by arrows falling from the sky. The Russian archers had already arrived at the predetermined position, followed by a large number of Russian infantry.
However, the next scene was completely unexpected by everyone. Faced with such a situation, these Bulgars did not choose to continue to escape, but simply threw away their weapons and surrendered.
This surprised Rostislav. He really didn't expect that the fighting spirit of the Bulgars was so low that they would surrender immediately after being slightly frustrated. Moreover, the better the equipment, the faster they would surrender.
Later Rostislav found out that the Bulgars who had surrendered earlier were all rich and powerful people. For them, surrendering was not a fear. They could just pay the ransom and buy themselves back - this was the fastest and safest way home now.
method.
These people are very smart, because even if they win this battle, they will still have to cross the dangerous territory of Russia.
In the face of the defeated Bulgar army, the cities of Russia did not mind rushing forward and tearing off a few pieces of flesh and blood - not to mention that the Bulgar army could disintegrate at any time.
And the most important thing is that many of them have been dealt with by the inconsiderate Akade. Many of the army commanders are still imprisoned, and no one is willing to fight for such a commander.
Relatively speaking, it is very safe to pay money, and due to the close trade relationship between Northeastern Rus and Bulgaria, the Rus will not refuse to collect these ransoms. This is a big sum of money, and many of these surrenderers know Northeastern.
Where are the powerful people in Ross?
And since these warriors are the basis of the Bulgar army, if they all surrender, ordinary soldiers will naturally surrender one after another. Suddenly, surrenders are everywhere, and weapons and armor are missing everywhere.
