Chapter 1013 A Bunch of Poor Idiots
From September last year to now, four full months are naturally enough for the local princes of the Ross people to organize their own defense lines, and there is no rush in the time.But in the world of ice and snow, one cannot strengthen the city, and the other cannot build castles. The only thing that can be done is to raise troops and build armor and weapons.

Or dig one or several deep trenches on the ground that is harder than pig iron in winter against the wind and snow.

Although there is a long buffer time, it may not really make the Ross people fully prepared.

When they faced the prestigious Qi army, they had a huge and unparalleled pressure on their hearts.

Tianzhu people, Kepchak people, and the terrible Seljuk people, one after another famous names have fallen at the feet of Lu Qi's army.Can the Rus, who cannot unite themselves, really repel the Chinese attack?
You know, there are still a lot of wooden castles in the Ross region at this time.

After the Russians accepted the Orthodox Church at the end of the 10th century, stone buildings began to appear in the Rus duchies influenced by Byzantium, but the frigid forests in this place made up for it, and wooden structures were still developing rapidly.The walls of many cities are made of wood, but the innermost fortress is made of stone. The houses in the city are like children's Lego blocks: all the houses seem to be made of wood.There are rammed soil and stones inside the wooden city wall, which can naturally play a good defensive effect against an attacker with completely cold weapons, but it is not enough to face the Lu Qi army with firearms.

Therefore, all the grand dukes and dukes of Ross are very concerned about one point-whether the Chinese have cannons.

It would be much easier if it was like the army that crushed the Bulgars before.Although their trebuchets are also very powerful, they are far behind the legendary artillery that can knock down a city wall with a few shots.

Then the war started, and the Lu Qi army had no pressure to beat the Ross people, but the whole Ross prince was relieved that although the Chinese carried some powdered weapons, it was obvious that they did not carry artillery on a large scale.

But the Lu Qi army is still no match for the Ross people without artillery.The gap visible to the naked eye between the two armies cannot be made up by a single city defense!
In this regard, the Ross is like a little girl being bullied, no matter how resentful and fearful she is, she is helpless.The upper and lower levels of the principalities patronized by Lu Qijun were full of fear and trepidation.

"The Chinese are a group of invincible demons!" Gleb Sviatoslavich slapped the table and shouted, "We must be rescued by reinforcements. Otherwise, relying on our own strength alone will never be enough." may defeat those demons."

Gleb Sviatoslavich was the prince of Pereyasradal, a man who did not get along very well with Vsevolod II Oligovich.Before that, Vsevolod II sent people to send letters to him more than once, hoping to form an alliance with each other.Gleb rejected his proposal.

Now, however, Gleb Sviatoslavich had to flee to the Grand Duke of Kiev to settle down, because his Pereasradar was completely under the evil of the Chinese.

"Gleb lost at least 5000 people in the war in Pereasladar. Counting the local militia, Pereasladal lost more than 6000 people." Ander, Duke of North Novgorod Lie Vladimirovich said very bitterly: "In my territory, North Novgorod's losses will only be greater, but I don't know if the results of such a great sacrifice have killed or not. Kill and injure 500 opponents."

"The Chinese are too powerful!"

"Now I finally believe what Tel Ail said. Before the Chinese arrived, his chief Turhan was terrified all day long, and finally made the decision to flee westward with all his troops. As a result, he was killed by Chinese Qingqi I was caught up halfway and easily lost my head."

"There is no doubt that Turkhan is very powerful. They are the masters of the land northeast of the Sea of ​​Azov." Andrei Vladimirovich said, "I have sent warriors to their land several times to spread the word. The glory of the Lord, although the Kipchaks took the initiative to surrender to God, they were not pious. However, the army of North Novgorod encountered Turkhan’s steppe cavalry. I didn’t take advantage of it, and I also encountered A bitter fiasco."

To assess how strong a certain force is, the most reliable thing is to have the experience of fighting that force, so that a more accurate estimate can be made.Otherwise, it is really not so reliable to evaluate the faction just by looking at how many territories, how many people it has, how much wealth it has and other information.

Byzantium and Farmati in Egypt are two more realistic examples.The previous Zhao Song is also an example of Hongguoguo.The difference is that Zhao Song has already died, and Byzantium has already struggled half of its body out of the mud, but Farmati is still in the mud.

The fault wasn't that the Seljuks hadn't settled down yet, Lu Qian had already asked someone to send a troop straight into the depths of the Red Sea.

Anyway, this is an indispensable place for Lu Qi in the future.

The Famadi dynasty has been rotten to the family, and even the mere Kingdom of Jerusalem can't do it. If you don't take the opportunity to make a fortune, it will be a blood loss.

Vsevolod II Oligovich didn't say a word. He wanted reinforcements, and his face was really big.He has already learned how good the appetite of the Poles is, and as for the Hungarians, their former king Bela II is the enemy of Vsevolod II Oligovich.

As early as the last years of Yaropolk II Vladimirovich, Vsevolod II Oligovich challenged him, and the former summoned his ally Bela II, Thirty thousand Hungarian troops made Vsevolod return without success.It was not until the death of Yaropolk II that Vsevolod really occupied the Grand Duchy of Kiev.

From the very beginning, Vsevolod II did not regard the Hungarians as Austrian aid that could be borrowed.Poles are his main target, but "curly-haired" Boleslaw in northeastern Poland is an overly greedy person.

He actually wanted to devour the Principality of Warren.

What else could Vsevolod II do?

If this word can spread, Grand Duke Ijaslav Mstislavich of Volyn will immediately raise his flag and surrender to the Chinese.

In the city of Kiev, the princes and princes of Rus sat around a long table. Vsevolod II couldn’t gather them together, but now, they were beaten by Lu Qi’s army in a terrible way, with hair all over their heads. Bao Qi was covered in blood and had to sit together.

Except for the northernmost Republic of Novgorod and the Principality of Vladimir, all the princes of Rus are now gathered together.

The cruel reality forced them to do so.

Pereyasradar, Beinovgorod, Kursk, Chernikok, and Ryazan, the duchies were ruthlessly ravaged by the Lu Qi army, and their defeated soldiers all fled in flocks. When he arrived, the Grand Duke of Kiev led him.Except for the unlucky Grand Duke Ryazan who was brutally beheaded, the other four grand dukes escaped smoothly, relying on the desperate fighting of their knights and guard cavalry to break through a bloody path.

This point is the defect of the cavalry siege, which is not as reliable as the infantry siege.

"What a bunch of poor idiots. They don't understand why the Chinese stop at the edge of the Grand Dukedom of Kiev, and watch the remnants of the defeated soldiers gather here, and watch the reinforcements from Pinsk, Polotsk and Smolensk arrive in Kiev What are the Chinese going to do? Is it to give Ross as much time as possible for us to prepare for the war?"

"No. They just defeated us more conveniently, massacred our soldiers, and severely damaged Russia's military power." Vsevolod II said with a sneer.

"Your Highness, it is said that the number of Chinese troops in the three routes is around 5. And Kiev has gathered [-] people now..."

"Isn't it fifty thousand mobs?" Does he still not know the quality of the army in Kiev? "The Seljuks have more troops, and the Sultan has far more soldiers than the Chinese. But what happened?"

"Pray to the Lord quietly. I hope that God can show His Holiness and save our lives, as well as Rose." Vsevolod II said to a confidant beside him.
