When the Porovets army advanced, the scene seemed earth-shattering - this was the thought that everyone who saw this scene would have, and some even thought it was a migration.
The dust raised by people and horses almost covered the entire sky, and the figures of people and horses were even more densely packed. There were also many carriages distributed in the queue, filled with goods, and it looked like they were moving.
But everyone knows that they came for war, and everyone will know that they came for plunder when they see those swords.
This is a plundering army, and it is an extremely large-scale plundering army that has been extremely rare in recent years.
Saru has been busy stabilizing his position over the years, and the final result is undoubtedly very successful. Then Saru used peace and stability to appease the various tribes, making them more and more obedient to him, and the grassland also recovered in peace.
Gained vitality.
Then came the harassment of Ross. After all, Salu had never forgotten his hatred with Rostislav. Unfortunately, his harassment was never successful. Although it was only Rostislav's son who faced him at the border, he
Not only failed to defeat these two people, but he kept falling over.
So this time he decided to use all his main force and summoned the power of the entire grassland. The results of Salu's many years of management were immediately reflected. A total of 18,000 grassland cavalry came under his command. This was his father's era.
There are no results.
Salu firmly believed that with such an army, he would be able to plunder all the land from Pereyaslav to Kiev this time! Looking at the advancing nomadic cavalry, pride kept filling his heart. This time he finally
You can make that Rostislav feel defeated! You can finally give that guy a slap!
But unlike Saru's excitement, his confidant Uska was full of worries. Although this army was huge, it was too difficult to control. Saru's control over this army was really worrying.
In matters such as war, the more troops the better, so Uska advised Saru many times, but the man did not listen to his advice at all. Uska was also very helpless about this, and could only hope for immortality.
Let their expedition be successfully completed.
Moreover, Uska had some other ideas. He felt that Saru was too obsessed with his hatred of Ross. It was obvious that living peacefully with Ross and maintaining the operation of the grassland trade routes was the way to prosperity, but Saru wanted to actively destroy all of this.
, this made Uska really uncomfortable.
Uska's power has become more and more consolidated over the years. It can be said that he has the strength to break away from Saru and work alone. Therefore, this original confidant also has some dissatisfaction.
Of course, according to the political rules of the grassland, no one will jump out to cause trouble until the ruler fails. Uska naturally follows this tradition. As long as he does not fail, he will not take action...
"It's really huge. It looks like a sandstorm from a distance. I guess the scene in the desert is not that huge. Well, it's a Scythian army. I don't know what their combat effectiveness is. Can it be compared with those in the records?
.Also, this is the first time I have seen such a huge army. I heard that there are 20,000 people? I guess my father’s Northern Army was more numerous than this.”
On a hillside far away from the army, two Russians were using the cover of shrubs to watch the advancing army kicking up dust in the sky.
But the Russian who spoke earned the surprised gaze of his companions. This guy actually knew the concept of Scythia? Didn't he never read?
"Vasiliko told me that the boy always likes to tell these stories in front of us. I will remember some of them more or less."
Being stared at like this, even Volorida, who was always known for his carefree personality, obviously couldn't stand it. He touched his nose and said with some embarrassment.
There was doubt in the eyes of the other person, but he did not continue the topic, but talked about the business, "Let's continue to look at the Polovets. Although this team is bigger than I thought, it is also more loose than us.
It was expected to be higher.”
"Well, Veneg, my father once told me that the bigger the army, the better. If an army that is too large is hit in the center, it will be destroyed immediately." Volorida analyzed seriously.
"Isn't that why we are here? Now the Porovets team is extremely loose, and there are opportunities everywhere. Volorida, have you thought of a plan? Where to start? Where to risk your life?"
Weinegg said, although he said he was urging, there was obviously more laughter in his tone, but his life-threatening words were not a joke.
"Go back first and continue to follow the Polovets from a distance. They will enter the dense forest area next, and we can find opportunities at any time."
After saying that, Volorida waved his hand and retreated into the forest with Veneg. Soon, the two came to a small hidden camp, while the Polovets army continued to advance, without any development in the distance.
There were two people spying on them in the unobtrusive forest.
The hidden camps in the forest are full of Ross warriors, but judging from their faces, those gathered here are all young people. These people were summoned by Volorida using his personal reputation.
Volorida's attack did not get the consent of his brother Rurik. Rurik's opinion was to stick to Pereyaslav until Rostislav's army arrived, but Volorida did not agree.
During this period of activities at the border, to outsiders, he just led his friends and ran around on the border ignoring orders, but in fact what Volorida was doing was exploring the terrain of the border.
Volorida wanted to make a contribution here, and wanted to show his ability to his father and brother. He was very determined on this point, so after Rurik firmly refused, Volorida quietly led his team
Left Pereyaslav.
Prince Rurik has only one goal, and that is Saru's head. He is playing a very big game, but Volorida has always been known for his boldness, so it is not surprising that he set such a goal.
After this team left Pereyaslav, they marched in the forest according to the terrain map they had mapped out in advance. Although the march was slow, it was at least concealed. Moreover, they had already investigated these forests before, and they already had some of them.
The experience of traveling.
After marching in the forest for a long time, Volorida and the others finally found the Polovets army.
However, the Russians could only wait. They had just discovered the Polovets, but what no one expected was that the opportunity would come so quickly.
Just that evening, the reconnaissance scouts brought news that Salu sent most of the Polovets cavalry to plunder Pereyaslav, and he only had about two to three thousand troops around him, escorting the nomadic army.
Baggage.
It seems that the Khan completely believed that the Russians had hid in the fortress. This was the experience he summed up in the battle with Rurik. The eldest son of the Grand Duke of Kiev had always been cautious. Seeing such a huge army, they chose
Just hide in the castle.
His judgment was correct, but what Salu Khan didn't know was that Pereyaslav had an extra Rurik this time.
Moreover, this Rurik is far crazier than the other, and will do many things that ordinary people would not have the courage to do.
