"Master Yang, is 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 war. Look what trash is in front of us? The Polovets and Pereyaslav
People, are they capable of stopping our heavy cavalry? Those light cavalry look pitiful to me, don’t you want to show off in front of your father?"
"But Mr. Yang, I think we should be more cautious. Isn't such an impact too reckless..."
"The fighter plane is fleeting, little Rurik, we can't wait any longer. Your father definitely doesn't want to see you dilly-dallying like this! Blow the trumpet and let us disperse these light cavalry first!"
The melodious horn sounded, conveying the order to attack to the entire army. Yang led the troops to prepare to advance. Seeing this, young Rurik also made up his mind and swallowed what he wanted to say. In this case,
Then hit it.
Yang knew that he was taking the prince of Moscow and the son of his good friend Rostislav on an adventure, but that was not the case with the battle formation. This was how they came here.
The Mayor of Suzdal has always been a person who will resolutely implement the decision after making it. Unless it is a person like Rostislav, no one can change his mind.
In fact, young Rurik did not show any timidity. He just hesitated to attack. However, Rurik always took it as a matter of course to step into the battle formation. As the son of a prince, he should do so.
The two ran to the left of the eager Ross cavalry. These people had heard the horn of attack, and the flag bearer rode alongside them.
Young leaned forward, raised his big hand and waved forward. Under the command of the flag and horn, the Ross cavalry formed three long arcs.
However, the process of formation of the battle line was very messy, which made Jan very unhappy, and his brows knitted together. He was commanded by Rostislav's personal entourage.
It was best to just shake his head. After all, times had changed, and it was no longer possible for him to command the personal entourage of the Prince of Moscow. Yang couldn't help but miss those past years.
But after all, these Ross heavy cavalry were the elites of the Northern Ross, and they still finished the battle line stumblingly, and then followed Xiang Zheng to attack the Confederate light cavalry on the opposite side without haste.
So many cavalry galloping raised huge clouds of dust accompanying Ross's cavalry army, attracting the attention of many people. Polovets and the Pereyaslavs were a little surprised, they did not expect the Northern Army to actually
If the attack was launched so early, it was expected that the wandering would take a long time.
But they still bravely put themselves into battle formation. Even though their armor was not as good as that of their opponents, their momentum could never be reduced.
These are the elites of the grasslands and borders, and they are not afraid of any enemy.
Monomakh advanced with Pereyaslav's cavalry, and Vsevolod handed over the best part of his army to his son.
Monomach slowly and reluctantly glanced at Saru Khan beside him, his eyes full of disgust.
If the battle situation didn't require it, who would want to stand side by side with this damn leader of the nomads? What's even more disgusting is that this guy gave him a smile. This guy must be disgusting him!
However, we can't control that much now. The battle is the most critical, and Monomach can only hope that the Polovets will not overturn.
Soon, arrows continued to rain down on the queues of both sides. From time to time, some unlucky ones fell off their horses and were trampled by the horsemen, but more people kept moving forward.
After reaching the impact distance, the war horses of both sides started galloping. No one fled halfway this time, especially on the Southern Army side. They were all elites who had been tested in bloody battles. They had experienced such things many times.
This is a very rare sight. The cavalry on both sides bravely attacked, which also means that the next scene will be very tragic.
Then the war horses crisscrossed each other. Some people rolled off their horses, some had their limbs cut off, and some were directly stabbed away. Death and blood were so worthless at this moment. The screams also continued one after another, accompanied by the flying dust.
It's everywhere.
Yang raised his arm and slashed hard at the steppe cavalry. The light long sword struck the opponent's heavy scimitar, and the steppe cavalry attacked him again. Mayor Suzdal hit the horse's belly with his knee, and the horse jumped away in time.
The enemy's sword slashed through the air where he was standing just now.
Just when Yang interrupted the person, a javelin suddenly flew from nowhere and blew the guy's head off, causing the body to fall down helplessly.
"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 fighting together, and the crisp sounds of weapons were heard one after another. Some people kept falling off their horses, but there were also people taking over. Some people were stabbed to death, some were trampled to pulp, and the war horses fell from time to time.
There were also horses that lost their riders and ran past.
The Confederate light cavalry was indeed extremely tenacious. Despite their inferior equipment, they fought to a close with the Northern Army's heavy cavalry, and even killed most of the Northern Army's first platoon of cavalry.
But after the initial momentum passed, Ross's heavy cavalry fought back. Although the Confederate cavalry were all brave and fearless, they still inevitably fell to the shining silver swords.
During the fight, our young prince Rurik had just killed a steppe cavalry wearing scale armor but not wearing a helmet. What he did for convenience became the cause of his death.
But a Pereyaslav cavalryman came around on horseback, and the armor on the head of the opponent's horse hit his horse. The pained and frightened horse stood up high and neighed.
Rurik hurriedly turned his horse to avoid the opponent, raised his sword over the horse's head and slashed at the opponent. The knife hit the Persian's armored arm and slipped away.
The man raised a big ax and struck at his head, but Rurik took advantage of his opening and closing and stabbed him directly in the face.
We can no longer stay in this melee circle. Rurik thought this way. Rurik's performance was really strong when he entered the battle for the first time. After such a fierce confrontation, even when all the riders were separated, he still managed to survive.
Survived in this melee.
Rurik finally got out of the melee circle. Along the way, he was intercepted and fought by many teams, but he finally fought his way out.
After leaving the melee circle, a small group of cavalry appeared in front of Rurik. They were his subordinates, which made Rurik extremely happy.
And they were besieging two Pereyaslav cavalry who were wrapped in armor. A javelin suddenly penetrated the body of one of the armored cavalry, piercing his lower abdomen. Blood flowed along the spear tip protruding from the back.
Drop down.
The man screamed, fell to the ground with his javelin, and was trampled by the horse.
Ruriko shouted loudly, and in the blink of an eye, he had already run among the cavalry, and slashed his sword into the neck of another armored cavalry.
This guy actually didn't have a neck protector. If he didn't take a stab at him, he would be really sorry for his kindness.
"Lord Rurik, I'm very sorry that we couldn't follow you."
The riders immediately recognized their master, and after the surprise, they became frightened. Although the master was fine and they didn't have to die, they would have to shed their skin even if he didn't die after reporting the incident.
"Okay, everyone, the most important thing now is the fight."
Of course Rurik knew their worries, so he left such a word of comfort, and the cavalry immediately surrounded him in twos and threes, and then the prince looked towards the battlefield.
The outcome of this cavalry battle has come out. The Confederate light cavalry are being broken up one after another. They have won!
However, this retreat was an organized retreat, not a collapse. They did not fail, but for the Northern Army, their goal had been achieved, and this was the effect they wanted!
"Monomakh and Khan Polovts are quite smart."
Rurik looked at the retreating southern army and commented, but he didn't even notice that there was a hint of joy in his voice, because this way he didn't have to face Monomach.
Yang yelled in the military formation, asking the soldiers to form a team, but many people were immersed in fighting and regarded Yang's orders as speechless. This made the mayor of Suzdal very angry.
But at this moment, a horn sound sounded from their flank. Rurik looked subconsciously and saw a group of Confederate cavalry rushing towards them!
