In the Polovets camp that besieged Pereyaslav, a ragged man stood in front of Chief Uska, trying desperately to prove his identity.
Uska still looked at the person in front of him with suspicious eyes. Is this person his Khan? Is it really Saru? If true, this was the first time he saw Saru in such a mess, which made him really confused.
It’s hard to believe who the man in front of me claims to be.
He knew that Saru had a substitute, and now he was wondering if it was a guy who looked very similar to Saru who was here to cheat him with food and drink - he had met such an idiot before, but this idiot did what he did later.
A substitute for Saru.
It wasn't until Saru told some stories between them that Uska believed in this person's identity. They had known each other very early, so some of the stories were only known between the two of them.
"Well, my Khan, why have you made yourself so miserable?"
Seeing Saru's embarrassment, Uska couldn't help but sigh, and then handed Saru Khan a glass of red wine. Anyway, let's drink a glass of wine slowly.
"The Russians destroyed our camp, and I finally ran out. Those guys first sent a group of people in to serve as cannon fodder, and then the main force attacked with force and completely defeated the defenders of the camp. Alas, that's it, victory or defeat.
Everything is normal, but I met some guys from the eastern tribes on the road. They don’t usually come to the west. They didn’t recognize me, but I suspect these guys were pretending not to recognize me. There were only two people around me at the time.
So I was robbed by these guys, both guards died, and I became like this, and then I came to find you."
Khan drank the red wine. The high-quality wine made his mood slightly better, but his face was still bitter. "I was asked for a bribe when I entered the camp. Damn it, I will definitely deal with this guy in the future."
"This is so..." Uska sighed, his old friend's experience is really rich, "Well, I will notify the others immediately and ask them to find you some clothes. But Khan
, The situation is terrible now. Although there were rumors like this before, I didn’t expect it to be true. Now our logistics has been completely eliminated, then..."
"We can only retreat. Bringing this army back to the grassland is a success."
Salu took up Uska's words and said feebly, "This is really too powerless in front of me. After a hard-fought expedition, it will be like this, and his prestige will definitely be dealt a fatal blow."
And just when Uska was about to give the order, suddenly, there was a sound of horns outside the felt tent, and the ruined Khan and the chief immediately went out to see what was going on.
The next thing they saw was groups of Pereyaslav soldiers walking out of their city walls, and more Russian military formations appeared in the distance, among which the flag of St. George Slaying the Dragon could also be seen.
"It seems that we have to prepare to run away immediately. Rostislav's main force should have arrived. In the current state, we cannot start a war with the Russians."
Saru murmured subconsciously. There was really no other way. They had to leave now. The surrounding Polovets also looked embarrassed. News about what happened in the rear had spread in the camp. The news brought
With the impact and the presence of the Russians in front of them, morale plummeted wildly.
However, the situation is still under control now, as long as the manpower is organized to retreat in time... But then, an action of the Russians suddenly changed the situation.
They picked up a head with a spear. Next to the head was the helmet of Khan Polovets, and the people shouted: "Saru is dead! Saru is dead!"
This news undoubtedly caused a commotion in the camp. Everyone knew about the defeat in the rear, so everyone accepted the news without hesitation. In an instant, the entire camp was in commotion, with some people shouting to run away.
Others planned to fight to the death, and the camp fell into complete chaos. Some people even ran away, which undoubtedly made the entire situation more and more uncontrollable.
The Polovets army was originally an army that Saru had assembled half with profit and half with coercion. But now that the news of his death has spread, everyone naturally has to go their separate ways.
"Uska, go tell everyone that I am here, ask my people to come over, and bring me my armor. If this continues, the army will collapse immediately."
Saru couldn't help but yell in a panic. If he continued to let it go, it would be really bad! He needed his tribe to come to his side, but at this moment, he suddenly discovered that Uska was looking at him with evil intentions.
And his hand was unconsciously placed on the handle of the knife.
Over the years, as a grassland chief, Uska also had his own ambitions, but he had never really expressed that ambition. But now, an opportunity fell in front of him, and he was moved, or
Very heartwarming.
Saru also understood what that look meant. He only had one thought in his heart, "It's very bad. I'm a substitute!"
"Uska, what are you going to do!" He couldn't help but yell, but what greeted him next was a knife.
When the Polovets who heard the news about Salu arrived, they saw Uska holding a blood-stained scimitar, and Salu was lying on the ground, and the blood was about to collect into a stream.
, this person is already dead, too dead to die anymore.
"How is this going?"
The Polovets subconsciously raised their swords, but more of them were still confused, completely confused as to what was happening and how Lord Uska could attack Lord Salu.
"This substitute tried to replace the Khan, but I killed him. If the Rus hadn't done that, I would have been deceived." Uska said without hesitation, "Give me the order, we are ready to retreat. There is no waiting in this camp."
It is necessary to protect our strength, what is important now is to protect our strength.”
"Well...yes."
Salu's close relatives hesitantly agreed. Some were deceived, while others were just following the trend and pretending to be stupid.
After all, Khan is dead anyway, and no one can prove that the dead man on the ground is Khan - maybe his wife and children can, but these people all know that since something like that happened, then Khan's wife
My son would soon "die in an accident".
With the escape of Salu Khan's trusted tribe, the collapse of the Polovtsian army has become a reality. In this way, the Russians won a great victory, an extremely easy victory, and captured it without doing anything.
Countless trophies.
The news spread like lightning, and Kiev and even the whole of Southern Russia fell into a carnival. Nothing made everyone happier than the defeat of the nomads, and Rostislav in the Vladimir Palace also got the victory of this battle.
briefing.
"What makes the bullets fly..."
This was Rostislav's first words after seeing the report about the battle.
The report was written by Rurik, the prince who recorded all the information he could gather, including Uska's execution of the "fake".
"Grand Duke?"
Domhnall looked at his master in confusion, he had no idea what this meant.
"Forget it, it's nothing." Rostislav waved it off, saying that he didn't need to worry about it. "Send my order to detain Volorida for a period of time. In any case, anyone who violates the order must be severely punished."
Regarding the matter of Volorida and Rurik, well, Rostislav does feel a headache, and now Zoe has to make trouble with him again, asking why his precious son did such a dangerous thing, alas, when the time comes
I had to be scolded to death again.
However, Rostislav was still very satisfied with these two children. He was very satisfied with the courage, wisdom and affection they showed, but they still needed some experience.
But education still had to be done, and Rostislav planned to transfer the two of them back from Pereyaslav after Volorida's imprisonment was over, and have a good talk with them.
The grassland will be in chaos for a while without that guy Saru, which means there is no need to be so concerned about grassland defense.
