When the Prince of Moscow finally calmed down, our Prince of Chernigov was enjoying the cheers of the people in his city, cheering from the heart.
The people like heroes and their influence even more. Svyatoslav defeated 12,000 with 3,000 and was undoubtedly the hero among heroes in the eyes of everyone.
Therefore, old age is still the best. Although the young man Rostislav has continued to win, can the gold content of his victory be compared with that of Prince Chernigov?
Chernigov was originally very supportive of their prince, and now they are even more happy. Many people even despise those who escaped back. Why do you want to escape like this? Isn't it good to follow the prince to enjoy the glory?
?
Svyatoslav also felt a bit like a dream. This victory came so easily that it made him feel unreal. The decisive blow really did not expect such a powerful effect.
He gained a lot, it can even be said that he gained more than Kiev, because he showed his ability to the entire Ross, he could lead everyone to resist foreign enemies, and he could bring miracles to Ross.
As for his sons, they are now standing behind their father with their chests puffed out, and their belief in their father is even stronger now.
Prince Chernigov believed that all this was God's reward for his piety. If it were not for God's will, how could they have achieved this miraculous victory?
It collapsed so easily.
In fact, this victory was thanks to the fact that the Polovets had been fed by the seizure of coalition supplies and the raids around Kiev. A full beast was difficult to drive and was not as powerful as in the past.
The courage to fight to the death.
Salu Khan still relied on his personal prestige to push the Polovtsian army to come to the city wall of Kiev, but these well-fed wolf cubs really had no intention of fighting.
This was clearly reflected in their incomparable siege. A team as big as Izyaslav could easily escape, and only during robbery could they arouse some fighting spirit.
So when Svyatoslav and his sons rushed towards the Polovts army with a death wish, those cunning Polovts chiefs smeared their feet and ran away after realizing that this group of people were here to risk their lives.
Why don't you run and wait to be stabbed by those Russians?
However, it cannot be said that Sviatoslav and his will to die were useless. In fact, Sviatoslav and his sons defeated the nomadic troops in front of them so badly that the nomadic chiefs decided to run away.
of.
After all, the nomadic army had a four-fold strength advantage at that time. It was too easy to eliminate three thousand people with twelve thousand people, but I didn't expect that these three thousand people were completely desperate.
As soon as they ran away, the route to Saru Khan became clear. Facing this scene, Saru didn't even have time to angrily scold his useless chiefs, so he could only carry his own bodyguards up there.
The Khan's bodyguards obviously couldn't defeat the prince's dead soldiers. Soon they were defeated by swords and cavalry. Even the Khan himself almost had a hand cut off. If the bodyguards hadn't used their lives, he might have died.
There.
Saru felt the ups and downs of his life in just one week. Just now, he was expected to become a peak sweat in the grassland. He trampled Ross under his feet, and then suddenly became a loser. His authority could not be shaken.
It must fall apart in this failure.
When the Khan's flag also fell, the collapse of Polovts' army became a foregone conclusion. The nomadic tribes fled frantically, fearing that they would be robbed of their lives and spend their money.
So a miracle happened outside Kiev. The nomadic army was defeated, and the original loser won.
But no matter what the reason for the victory was, victory was victory. This victory made Sviatoslav the most popular prince in the entire Southern Russia. Even Kiev said that he should be made the Grand Duke of Kiev.
After all, Svyatoslav is in the right line of succession.
But those who had pushed Vseslav to the throne of Kiev could no longer look back. They wanted to save their lives and status, so all they could do now was to fully support the wizarding prince.
Svyatoslav is still a Yaroslavich after all. He will not be angry with the guys who overthrew Yaroslavich. There will definitely be another reckoning by then.
So the call for Svyatoslav's succession was immediately suppressed, after all, the powerful people in Vicher who dominated the city's political trend had already joined the wizard prince.
As for the sorcerer prince, the ruler who became the Grand Duke of Kiev by accident is now consolidating his rule. As the Polovts retreated, he immediately sent envoys to the cities under Kiev's jurisdiction to establish his rule.
Vseslav's envoy was welcomed in most places. After all, he was promoted by Kiev Vicher. The authority of Vicher still held great weight in people's hearts, even higher than that of the prince in some areas.
And even if you are not welcome, you still have to show your attitude towards guests. The future political development trend is still full of fog, so the best choice is not to offend anyone.
There are very few towns that directly kill the envoys of the Witch Prince. Their characteristic is that they are all close to the border, especially the section near Poland and Hungary, because the original Grand Duke of Kiev, Izyaslav, was there.
These border towns will not forget the marriage relationship between the King of Poland and the King of Hungary and the former Grand Duke. There will always be a family from the Polish or Hungarian army who will come to help their in-laws, so they should firmly support Ijaslav first. As for the future, that will happen later.
Say it again.
As for Izyaslav, the Grand Duke who was driven out of Kiev was very decisive. He directly chose to go to Krakow and ask for help from Boleslaw II of Poland.
But on the other hand, it was also because of his long journey that the original territory of Kiev quickly turned to the wizarding prince or became neutral.
But we can't blame them too much, because the Kiev militiamen have rebelled against him, the Grand Duke, and it is normal for him to have no confidence in other regions, so he quickly went ahead and directly invited foreign troops.
It is a pity that the King of Poland is busy with his own war and will not be able to take action for a while. However, he has promised Izyaslav that after he solves the matter at hand, he will immediately assist Izyaslav in returning to Russia.
As a result, the situation in Kiev temporarily stabilized, and people suddenly discovered that Vseslav, who was originally a prisoner, has now become one of the most powerful princes in the entire Rus.
Regarding this point, Vseslav also thought it was ridiculous, but that was the fact.
As for the last Russian prince, Vsevolod of Pereyaslav, he seized the opportunity of the defeat and disintegration of the Polovts army and decisively launched a continuous offensive against the defeated Polovts tribes.
The result is also very wonderful. The Polovts are completely busy escaping, and they don’t even have much intention to resist when faced with the attack of the Pereyaslavs. It is often the Pereyaslavs who intercept the Polovts’ team, and then these
The nomads simply abandoned their heavy plunder and ran away.
The situation on the grassland border has also returned to stability. After all, the nomadic tribes have been fed, so they will not come out to rob again for a while. Moreover, Salu, the only one who can lead them, is injured again and obviously cannot command the overall situation.
However, everyone had a tacit understanding not to overthrow Saru's position. In the previous battle, everyone felt sorry for Saru, a good man who made everyone rich together. If it weren't for their crotch pulling, how could Khan be so good?
A miserable situation.
Although the rout was a rout, only a few people from each tribe were killed, and some heavy trophies were lost.
Moreover, there is also a need for grassland stability. Everyone still hopes to live a stable life for a while, so they all acknowledge the current situation.
As for Saru, he vowed to continue harassing Ross, but not now, when he had to rest.
As a result, Ross's situation stabilized in a completely new form, but everyone knew that this calm was only temporary.
