The Russian army advanced very rapidly, and most of the lands in the Kingdom of Georgia now submitted to the young monarch of Kutaisi.
Under such circumstances, Amvrosi, who controlled Tbilisi, "naturally" surrendered and knelt before the new Georgian monarch, saying that the "real monarch" he was waiting for was Mikhail and Ta.
Mal.
Many people are dismissive of this. Amvrosi has always been known as an elusive spy leader. Many people have no trust in this man. Everyone has not forgotten that it was this man who took Tbilisi away.
Dedicated to Monomach.
Rostislav found this person very interesting. This guy had actually been preparing for the arrival of the Russians so early. This vision was extremely rare in this land.
It was naturally impossible for Rostislav to refuse Tbilisi's offer of surrender, so the Russian army marched into this most prosperous city in the entire Transcaucasus.
The capture of Tbilisi by the Russians had a huge impact on the entire Transcaucasus. In the past thirty years since Monomakh conquered it, in people's hearts, everyone believed that this place was the center of Monomakh's country.
Now that the Russians have captured Tbilisi, people naturally think that they have captured the center of the Monomakh country. The result of this behavior is that more and more lords and warlords have begun to turn to Russia.
people.
Under such a prospect, the two successors of Monomach, Radko and Anton, announced that they would surrender before Mikhail and Tamar.
It is not surprising that these two people made such a choice. Radko faced an almost endless stream of rebellions, while Anton was directly forced into the territory of his father-in-law. Both their rule can be said to be shaky.
In a very short time, Sylvain and the small part of Armenia controlled by Anton fell before Mikhail and Tamar, although various small-scale battles continued in these lands.
, but in the end they are just minor problems.
Rostislav's behavior made both of them very grateful. They were grateful that Rostislav accepted them and did not kill their two Monomakh cronies, which made them swear allegiance to Mikhail and Tamar.
The Greek army of Alexios finally captured Trebizond, and the only thing that made Oleg happy was that at least he and Monomach's wife and children successfully escaped from the city through a secret passage.
When they see an army of more than 50,000 people appear, no matter who they are, the only thought in their minds right now is to surrender, and those who rarely surrender will be crushed to death by the Ross army.
During this period, Oleg had been trapped in Trabizon. Due to the defection of those Greek nobles, his army experienced several large-scale desertions during this period. When he finally reached the city of Trabizon, his army
There are only four thousand people here.
After taking out the emergency escape money that he had prepared a long time ago, Oleg finally took himself and Monomakh's wife and children and fled to the east. He knew that he was only safer there now, and there would be searches in other directions.
He and Monomach's wife and children fled to the pagan side. At least they would think of disgusting Christians and show mercy.
And they all knew Rostislav, which provided a stepping stone for them to surrender - even though this was many, many years ago.
Rostislav didn't care at all and directly invited these former friends to drink together and get to know their experiences.
By this time, there were only two hundred soldiers left in the army around Oleg. Oleg gave them all the gold and silver he had with him, and then dismissed these last warriors, because he understood that all this was impossible.
Already desperate, everything is lost.
But even with these four thousand people, Oleg had a good time dealing with Alexios. Alexios didn't take Oleg seriously. There were only four thousand people. He didn't
What do you think this person can do.
As a result, Oleg took advantage of his contempt, and then the entire army attacked and smashed the siege equipment repaired by Alexios, and then ran back to the mountain before the Greek army could react.
It was difficult for Alexios to make any counterattack against Oleg, because although the local Greeks had returned to the empire, the indigenous people in the Trabzon mountains still supported Oleg. With the help of these people,
Oleg can easily find shelter in the mountains.
If the Greek army rashly enters the mountains, they will get lost in the mountains. If they are unlucky, they will be ambushed by Oleg's army and then be annihilated. After a blindly pursuing Greek army was annihilated, Alexios
Si stopped these actions.
After that, Oleg kept using this kind of tactics to deal with Alexios, which disgusted the Greek emperor. Alexios's logistics were constantly harassed by Oleg, and he always had troubles when building siege camps.
Was raided.
But the Greek emperor had a huge army after all. The Greeks could fail countless times, but Oleg could only fail once. With the blessing of a huge amount of supplies and soldiers, Alexios finally built siege equipment.
Alexios quickly launched a comprehensive offensive. It was an extremely cruel three days. The city walls were covered with blood and the dead were everywhere. Oleg also continued to contain the Greek army, but in the end all efforts were in vain.
.
It can be said that Rostislav's plan has been successful. He captured the Kingdom of Georgia for the child who retained his own blood.
Now that the two successors have defected, the defections of others will naturally become even more crazy, and those who are dissatisfied will also be punished by the Ross army.
Although the defenders of Trabzon were strong and their morale was high as they saw the continuous raids of Oleg's army on the Greek army, they were still too powerless in the face of the Greek army that had a decisive advantage.
It can be said that at this moment, the last traces of the existence of the Monomakh Kingdom have disappeared. There may be some Monomakh loyalists still persisting, but their destruction is only a matter of time.
The Rus, the Eastern Empire, the Roma, the Seljuqs... these forces united and completely carved up the Kingdom of Monomakh. This country that once conquered such a vast land was completely destroyed in just half a year.
Some people are happy, some are sad, and some are excited, but no matter what mentality they hold, a new era has arrived. On the ruins of death in the country of Monomach, new stories will unfold, and the East will also welcome the coming.
