Chapter 83: Shi Miao hand and son-in-law shot, plotted the veteran's deep heart

The war between Yanhan and Rostov has become very complicated. It was simple to fight against the Principality of Mogilio; now it is really difficult to fight against a country affects a lot of forces.

For good, Yan Han had a scheme to contain the Grand Duchy of Kiev, the biggest potential enemy, so that it could not send troops to intervene in the war. The Duchy of Moscow is resting and has no conflict with Yanhan for the time being; the Principality of Kon-Ordisco has no intention to temporate troops after successive failures in the battle between Yanhan and Moscow. Only five small East Slavic countries helped Rostov fight Yanhan. Yan Han hates this kind of little accomplice who doesn't know the current affairs and will never tolerate it. As a result, shortly after the war, three small countries, including the Marquis of Mogilio, were destroyed, and the two small countries were frightened and retreated. In fact, it became a situation for Rostov alone to face the attack between Yan Han and Chechnya.

However, Rostov's advanced diplomatic efforts finally achieved some results. The Kingdom of Georgia, a vassal of the Illi Khanate, sent troops to attack the old nest of the Chechens.

More than 6,000 strong people in Chechnya have been taken to fight Rostov by the great chief Nahchekin, and only thousands of soldiers left, unable to resist the attack of more than 20,000 Georgian troops, and hurriedly protected the tribes to retreat to Yanhan.

At this time, the Illi Khanate sent more troops to the border with Azerbaijan to deter Azerbaijan from supporting Chechnya.

When Yan Han learned of these situations, he urgently sent military division general Li Qingxi and Xiaoqi general Li Baozhao, leading 8,000 horses to help. In addition, more than 1,000 Qiang soldiers from Tie Emige were transferred to Zezhou Town to ride with him. Uda, the governor of Zhennan, settled in Azerbaijan to help guard against the Illi army. Because Yan Han did not know the strategy of Yierli not to fight directly with Yan Han, he was very nervous for a while.

Zhao Jinzheng was facing the general of the Ross army, Ijonmsky. When he learned that Erli was also going to intervene, he sighed, "The situation is even more urgent!" You can't help but do your best and make a quick decision!" So Zhao Jin asked Yijonmsky to fight a decisive battle.

Generally, East Slavic warriors will definitely go to war after receiving the letter of war. However, Ijonmsky was quite calm and observed that the Han army was strong and strong. He estimated that he had no chance of winning the decisive battle and held on. Xu Yu's troops disturbed its north and tried to make his troops run around, revealing flaws for the main force to take the opportunity to attack it. However, Ijonmsky warned the general to guard against it in place and not to move lightly. The Han army could not catch the flaw of the Ross army and approached it with a crossbow. Although Ross's crossbow was not as many as the Han army, relying on the camp to shoot against the Han army, the Han army fell into the wind and had to retreat.

In the vast war zone, all kinds of soldiers and horses are galloping. When Zhao Jin's main force was led by Ijonmsky, Xiao's department ushered in Zapolov. Zapolov took four or five thousand people and headed south, ready to attack inside and outside the defenders in the city of Limonsko and defeat the South Han Army.

One windy morning, Xiao Yu and Lin Mi got on horse and led the sergeants to fight. The morning sun reflects the face, and the colorful light spreads through the field. Xiao Li was very proud and said to Lin Mi, "This time I will have a gambling game with you to see who shoots the enemy chief. If you win, my jade belt will be yours.

Lin Mi raised his bow and said, "Who can match the son-in-law? This is not a gambling game. It is clear that you want to win my lottery. Anyway, my robe is a new gift from the Lord. If you shoot the enemy chief, you will win!"

So the two armies fought against each other, and Xiao and Lin Mi both jumped forward to find the enemy generals. Zapolov over there was a brave general. Although he heard that the Han army had a "divine arrow white robe", he still came out with a spear without fear.

Rostov is a rich country with developed farming and commerce, and the army is well equipped. Zapolov is the main general, more well equipped, a set of steel armor, silver shining, from beginning to end... Feiye, tightly covered from head to toe. The spear is more than four feet long, and the spear method is exquisite. In the previous military career, I don't know how many people were stabbed and fell from the horse. The Han cavalry also held a horse, which was about the same length as the spear of the Ross Army, but the weight and sprint strength were far inferior. If they used horses to fight steel spears, they would definitely suffer losses.

In the past, when the Mongolian army fought against Europe, they paid great attention to avoiding close combat, but gave full play to the advantage of bows and arrows to fight from a long distance, and dealt a heavy blow to the European army and made it collapse before catching up to kill. As the saying goes, "one move, eat all over the sky", the Mongolian army repeatedly used this tactic, and each battle is often unscathed, while the European army is often hit hard, with only 20,000 horses to hit the Rhine River.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten, which is the iron truth. If you don't want to be beaten all the time, you must change. East Slavs were the first among Europeans to suffer from the Mongolian army, forcing them to change and take the lead in the transition to riding and shooting.

Zapolov ordered his cavalry to open their wings and envelop the Han army, so that the Han army would not have room to fight; he led the elite iron horse and rushed forward to the center of the Han army's battle array! With Zapolov's intention, only by dragging the Han army into a close-range melee can he win!

This arrangement is quite commandable, and it is especially valuable to be able to charge first. No wonder Zapolov was listed as one of the three generals of Rostov, Umosky and Ijonsky.

Xiao Jian saw that the enemy was so fierce, but he was not afraid. He immediately recognized Zapolov and aimed with an arrow. Although Lin Mi admired Xiao Yu's unparalleled arrow, he was not willing to admit defeat casually and shot him first! Xiao's arrow flew out of the string. The strength of the second general is better than that of ordinary people, and the good bow is used in his hand. The effective killing range is not comparable to that of ordinary archers. Two arrows hit Zapolov accurately one after the other!

Lin Mi's arrow shot at Zapolov's helmet. The helmet was thick and failed to penetrate and bounced to the ground. Xiao Lu's arrow, both accurate and powerful, suddenly penetrated Zapolov's chest armor!

...Zapov was obviously hit by an arrow, but he didn't fall off the horse. It turned out that he only felt a shock in his chest, but no pain. Now continue to charge bravely.

Several lieutenants of the Han army saw that the main general and deputy generals were shooting at the enemy general. First, they cheered and couldn't help but lose their color when they saw that the enemy general was fine. Xiao Wei and Lin Mi responded calmly and continued to shoot arrows. Lin Mi shot an arrow and was dodged by Zapolov; Xiao's arrow hit Zapolov's right arm!

At this time, the distance was very close, the feather arrow penetrated deeply, and Zhapolov's arm was sore that he almost couldn't hold the spear. Lin Mi hurriedly inserted the big bow into the bow bag behind the horse and rushed forward to fight against Zapolov. Xiao Lu also came forward to attack. Zapolov was very brave and fought with injuries. He rushed through Lin Mi and Xiao Qian, and rushed around the Han army, stabbing many people. Just because the arm with the arrow was stirred by the arrow, he was afraid that his right arm would be useless if he fought again, and Zaporov plucked his horse back. Xiao Qian was angry and caught up with him. A knight gave way to Zapolov to fight against Xiao Lu. Xiao Lu stabbed the knight and fell off the horse. Zapolov has gone far.

The two armies are fighting fiercely. Suddenly, there was a shout behind the Ross army, and an army rushed over! It turned out that the defeated general Du Longhan arrived. Du Longhan waved his army to attack the Ross army, led a hundred horses to rush through the battlefield and joined Xiao Yu.

When the uncle sees the son-in-law, this is called a family meeting. Xiao Yu was overjoyed and fought with Du Longhan to kill again. Zapolov's deputy general Iskra resisted desperately and was killed by Dulonghan in a fierce battle. The general of the Ross army was injured and the deputy general was killed. The situation was very unfavorable, and the reinforcements had not arrived for a long time, so they had to retreat.

The defenders in the city of Limonsko were previously shot and killed by many officers in a row by the "God Arrow White Robe", which scared them and did not dare to fight. As a result, Zapolov's troops did not have reinforcements in this battle and were finally defeated. Zapolov retreated to Limonsko, was furious, held accountable, deposed the lord of the city, dismissed several generals, and replaced him with his own trusted to defend the city.

As for the arrow in Zapolov's chest, it turned out that it was nailed to the cross statue he was wearing after penetrating his chest armor. Zapolov was religious and saved his life. Xiao's arrow is a special armor-piercing arrow with a four-inch conical arrow. It still has enough deadly power after armor piercing. If it hadn't been for this cross statue, Zaporov would definitely die. Understanding this, Zapolov was grateful and shouted "God bless!", prayed all night in the small church in the city, and vowed to build a new church after defeating the Han army. The soldiers and civilians in the city called Zapolov "Saint Zapolov".

So, can "Saint Zapolov" defend the city of Limonsko?
