Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 1014 The third brother wrote it down!
Vsevolod II did not go near the city wall at all, and several other princes, and even their high-ranking nobles, also did not go near the city wall.

The lessons of Bulgar City and the lessons of other princely and lord cities are shocking.

Although the Chinese have no artillery, their stone cannons are still better than the Rus' trebuchets.Even if there is no material added, it is just a simple arson bomb and a solid stone/mud bomb, and the bombardment on the city wall is also a "landslide and ground crack".

They will not seek death.

You don't feel safe until you are about 200 meters away from the "city wall". There is also a city wall that was built urgently before.

Standing on the second city wall, the princes and nobles looked at the top of the city with piercing eyes, watching the defenders on the city screaming as they were hit by shells from outside the city.

Then, in just three days, the collapse happened. Kiev, one of the most fortified cities in the entire Ross territory, collapsed after only three days.

Vsevolod II looked at the second line of defense that had already been built in the city. He didn't know whether he should be glad that he had the foresight to use the time deliberately set aside by the Chinese to build the current city wall, or he should be depressed!

The outer city wall is so strong and doesn't matter, although the second line of defense inside was also time-consuming and laborious to build - he asked people to find the thickest logs, and the two rows of logs were filled with mud and stones. It is full of earth bags - but it is really incomparable with the former.Naturally, it is even more inappropriate.

It was only a matter of time before "The Wall" blossomed, like its predecessors.Therefore, this war will ultimately be decided by swords and guns.

At the moment when Ross's army retreated from the outer city wall and retreated inward, Lu Qi's army would naturally not give up this great opportunity.A total of two thousand elite soldiers, holding large shields, wielding knives and guns, and carrying long ladders, rushed towards the city.

The panicked defenders collapsed in the face of this fierce attack.Fortunately, behind them there was heavy armored infantry prepared by Vsevolod II and others.

The roar of "Great Qi is mighty" appeared at the front of Kiev City, and the shouts of killing from the two armies were loud and loud.

Wearing simple plate armor, Lu Qijun pushed all the way.The Ross people's resistance was not careless, but the gap in armaments really needed too much blood to make up.The heavy infantry prepared by the princes of Ross is also an elite force in their hands, but compared with the intruding Lu Qi army, it is so unsightly.

The entire battle did not exceed two hours, and the heavy infantry that the Ross people had arranged in advance was completely smashed.The armored soldiers of Lu Qi's army followed the defeated soldiers and killed them under the second city wall.Only then did it stop!

The city of Kiev did not fall, but the whole of Kiev was already panicked.

From top to bottom, with the fall of the outer city, everyone felt the chill.

The princes and princes outside the city, Yang Zaixing, Li Yanxian and other generals are not idiots. Even though they have not achieved the position of commander in a war zone, they are enough to look at the current war. Naturally, they know that the battle has been stabilized.

Even though the Russians had gathered so many troops, you could tell how cowardly they were just by looking at them not even daring to go out of the city to fight.Moreover, the sources of soldiers are complex, and the quality of individual soldiers is uneven.There are also defeated soldiers from Pereasladar and North Novgorod, who have long been scared by the Qi army.

Even with the metropolitan shouting at the top of his lungs and the generous rewards promised by the princes and nobles, the overall morale is not high.

Now that the outer city was lost and the elite infantry had been severely injured, the morale was even lower.

And when people's hearts are in turmoil, no matter how many people there are, they should not be used.

Lu Yu, Lu Yun, Li Yanxian, Yang Zaixing, etc., although there is no definite leader in name, but fortunately, everyone is not a stupid idiot, and it is very clear that the current enemy of Kiev is already frightened.

Lu Qi's army traveled all over Tianzhu and Tianfang's illustrious reputation, and invaded Ross with irresistible force, and has successfully spread fear to the hearts of the enemies.

In a word, these Ross people have already positioned themselves as the 'weak' at the beginning of the war, and it is only a ghost that the war can be won.

Emperor Lu likes to fight an upright battle the most, and his sons have also developed similar personalities. No one prefers to take the opposite direction.

But no matter how inclined they are to be upright, they will never forget what war is!Estimating and judging the situation in advance, guessing the most likely situation, and making targeted arrangements are the necessary qualities of a general.

Because the Ross people lack confidence, because the Ross people have low morale, they never thought of annihilating the city.Surrounding three and missing one is inevitable.

Also because of Kiev's special political significance, there is still a controversy among the princes and princes such as Lu Yu and Li Yanxian's generals!
——Do you want to burn the whole of Kiev to nothing?

This will not only quickly resolve the current war, but also cause the Ross people to suffer heavy losses.

Each of them is very clear that they are in the absolute advantage of the situation.Because of the arson bombs and incendiary bombs of the Lu Qi Army, and because of the wooden houses one after another in Kiev.

The reason why the Ross people still fight now is only because they are not "crazy".

But if this trump card is used, the Ross people will have no power to fight back.

Lu Yue is a supporter of this point of view, and was the first to put forward such a suggestion before, but the old Lu Yue firmly disagrees. "The majesty of the empire has already been established in the war, we don't need to use the city of Kiev as a raft."

Others have supported and opposed, and some have remained silent for the time being.

Lu Chuan also disagreed in his heart, "As the elder brother said, the majesty of our court has already been established in the war, and there is no need to use the Ross people to establish our prestige. It will leave hidden dangers for the future. But go like this Raiding slowly is not what the king wants.

Everyone, don't forget about the east.According to news from China, General Shi Wengong and his army are about to leave the Western Regions.After crossing the Western Regions is the middle of the river, and Kangju can be reached in the blink of an eye, but will the Aral Sea be far behind the Caspian Sea?How many days will it take for the Caspian Sea to reach the Black Sea?
Time is running out and there is no time to wait.

The king does not want to spend too long in Kiev.The huge Rus, as well as the Novgorod Republic in the northwest and the Vladimir Principality in the northeast did not intervene in the war at all, and even Smolensk and Polotsk, as well as the Pinsk and Volyn Principalities also maintained good conditions. Strength.

Even if the more than [-] troops here in Kiev are all finished, the Ross people still have at least half of their strength.

Even Vsevolod II, the reigning Grand Duke of Rus, still has good strength in his hometown of Chernihiv. "

Therefore, he immediately proposed:

"In my opinion, if we don't release a few captives back into the city, tell everyone inside through their mouths to leave the city as soon as possible, or we will set fire to the city."

"As far as the leaderless power structure of the Ross people is concerned, as well as the low morale and the countless wooden houses in the city, they are not afraid to mess up themselves!"

Water and fire are ruthless, and Lu Chuan can even imagine what the whole of Kiev will look like after the riots.For them, it will be an incomparably rich meal.This city, which is large in size and population, and has special political symbolic significance in Ross, can be captured without any effort.

Compared with the simple burning of the city, or the honest and honest siege of the city, Lu Chuan's proposal made everyone in the meeting laugh.Regardless of whether these smiles are blunt or not.

……

"Eighth brother, thank you for your kindness, third brother wrote it down!"

The strategy has been set, and everyone dispersed.In private, the two figures walked into a dark corner where others could not see, and a voice came out for a while.
