A horse team from the grassland arrived in Kiev smoothly. Here they watched the autumn priests of the local people at the altar on the Dnieper River. The leader of the horse team had a good conversation with the Slavic nobles in Kiev.
The leader of the horse team is no one else, it is Kagan, the heir of Pechenegg Khan!
The large wooden house was full of men, and a young woman sitting in it was abrupt.
She is Bejashir, one of Kagan's sisters, and she is also the youngest and most beautiful of the sisters.
She is definitely not a weak woman, just like other Pecheneg female nobles, she was forced to learn to ride a horse like her own brother at a very young age. Even if they are women who are bound to become mothers in the future, their other identity is a female warrior.
The vast grassland was bred by countless nomads. It was the Amazon tribe that had bred the Salmatians. Those sturdy female warriors made the Roman army embarrassed.
Bejashir is not a weak person, although he has never participated in battle, he is also adept at arching horses. She is now even more equipped with new weapons, and her personal combat effectiveness should have risen dramatically.
Of course, she did not go on an autumn trip with her brother. This trip was to implement the major event of life—marriage.
The future husband is not a stranger, but the righteous brother of his own brother, Ros Khan Rurik.
Yes, in 839, Kagan did his best to quickly return to the tribal alliance stationed in the Volga Estuary, unloading a large amount of materials imported from Ross, facing an astonishing number of bear skins and terrifying bear fangs. Head, a kind of fear that comes from the depths of the heart spontaneously arises.
The Pecheneg people respect Ross in the far north. They are also proud of themselves, and they equate the Principality of Ross with their own existence.
The Pecheneg people and nobles are willing to call Ross a Khanate, and the leader of Ross is the Khan. Bear skin is a heavy warmth, mixed with imported linen cloth, which improves the warmth problem of grassland people's clothing.
A large amount of ironware and a large amount of premium white salt (referring to Atlantic sea salt) is the most shocking alliance!
That's a lot of iron spearheads! It can be easily built into a large number of spear rides!
A large amount of salt was unloaded, and none of the Pechenegg tribes had so much good salt all at once in the past.
As for the price paid by the tribal alliance is only five hundred good horses! Five hundred horses is of course also a big deal, and the advantage is that everyone can concentrate on raising horses. As long as the horses are successfully transported to Rose, the Pechenegs can obtain very important salt and iron supplies without risking war. What's more, the Rus are the few forces that have established friendly relations with everyone. The Rus ruler has been blood-stained with Kagansh. How can the Pechenegs live up to this important kindness?
Ever since, Bejasher ushered in her mission.
She took her two maids and rode her horses to the horse team going north.
The first stop is here, Kiev on the Dnieper River.
Once upon a time, the Krivic Slavs of Kiev remained vigilant against the Pechenegs, Khazars and Bolgars who were not far away. In recent years, the Pechenegg nobleman Kagan has always entered Kiev in the forest area with a peaceful attitude, and the public's guard mentality has become increasingly weakened.
The Kyivians also have the ability to export linen fabrics and a small amount of leather to the grasslands. Although they are not as large as the Rus Principality, they are a useful supplement to the grasslands.
The Pecheneg people in the Prairie will not simply export horses to the north. On the horsebacks are piles of hard cheeses, butter, and even horse milk wine. Sitting on the grasslands on the lower reaches of the Volga River, which is rich in water and grass, the Pecheneg people are trying their best to make these milk products and are busy raising horses. They work peacefully for the trade with Russia this fall.
The large wooden house is very lively. The Kagan brothers and sisters are distinguished guests from afar, and the most noble Kievan noble in the wooden house is Mack Sakyi.
People who dare to take risks and bring distant treasures and wonderful news to their hometown are always respected.
The Krivic Slavs of Kiev cannot even be regarded as an alliance of tribes, just a group of small Slavic tribes that claim to be of the same origin and live by guarding a public altar. Everyone is not monolithic, but they don't want to betray each other. Anyone can do what everyone does, as long as the man is old enough and strong enough to have extraordinary merits.
Is Sakyi such a person? At least not all.
He has made great achievements, and has not been respected as the most senior speaker by all tribes and villages for the time being.
Therefore, he needs more merits.
The wooden house was full of men's chattering, and a group of people were talking in Slavic. Their eyes were not fixed on the short, black-haired Bejasher, but they were embarrassed to point and talk.
Sackyi coughed vigorously, and he needed such a person to open the chattering box for the formal meeting.
"Kagan Khan! My old friend." He directly called Kagan Khan almost once, "I know your purpose very well, to go to Rose for business. How can we Kyiv not participate in this matter."
"Yes! Let's participate!"
"You must participate! We must follow suit to make a fortune."
…
Sakyi was half talking, and his fellow clan yelled and yelled again, and this attitude directly amused Kagan.
"Friend, what are you laughing at?" Sacky muttered.
"Did I laugh? Maybe. Seeing your nobles so enthusiastic, I'm relieved."
Sakyi motioned to the people to be quiet, smiled awkwardly, and his beard fluttered: "I heard that you have multiple younger sisters. Obviously this... is one of your younger sisters."
"Ask it knowingly."
"I also know what you mean. It was a smart choice to marry her to that Rurik, and I also know that Duke Rurik of Ross agreed. You have decided to marry, which is a closer relationship than a blood alliance. "
"Oh? How am I listening, you Kyivians also want to send a daughter of a nobleman to marry the Rus?"
"No need. Our status is not as noble as yours." Sakyi made a self-deprecation and at the same time made it clear: "However, we Kievans are willing to send some women to Ross."
"Did you bring some female tribesmen north?"
"Are you kidding?" Sakyi winked, then laughed.
When Kagan saw this, he stopped pretending: "I understand, let's attack the Smolensk people together."
"Or you can have other choices."
"what for?"
"Do you Pechenegs really think that our competitors are only Smolensks?"
"Who else?" Speaking of the sneak attack and looting, Kagan couldn't help but eager, so he poked his head with a beard and must ask what happened.
Sakyi was also unambiguous on this side. He simply stood up and pointed to the west in full view: "On the other side of the river is our competitor, Delevrian." He pointed to the northeast again: "You can actually come first. Around there, the local La Mickeys are also our competitors."
The cheerful expression was replaced by solemnity, and Kagan understood the other's gesture: "Let us launch a surprise attack?"
"Actually you can, and we can even unite."
"Does this... take a long time?"
Upon hearing this, Maksakyi let out a sigh of relief, and he was convinced that his depressive behavior successfully aroused the keen interest of the steppe warriors.
Although this huge forest area is vast and sparsely populated, in theory, various tribal villages can live their lives in peace. But the greed of human nature is endless. In this era, population is productivity, and the act of plundering the population and materials of other tribes is not considered a sin. The huge forest area of Eastern Europe is like a dark forest. What a tribe wants to be strong is not simply to hide itself, but to try its best to expand its population resources.
The Krivicians in Kiev also want to expand their strength, but they don't want to take big risks.
Now there are as many as two hundred Pecheneg fighters appearing in Kiev as armed merchants, joining forces together, and taking advantage of the end of the autumn harvest to go to the threshing grass near the tribe, isn’t it a wonderful thing?
Sakyi took the opportunity to slap a rainbow fart: "With your strength, it is not a problem to eliminate some small villages. After we unite, we can do more. We attack the Delevrians to the west and pass through the swamp area (Puri Piat), you have to go by boat, which is very detrimental to your cavalry. But attacking the Mickeys is not a problem at all."
"Let the horses be placed on your bad canoes. Indeed, our soldiers can be unafraid, but our horses will be overly frightened. If it is to attack the Mickey you mentioned by land, I would be willing. But..."
"Are you worried? I know your concerns."
Kagan raised his head: "Then give me some reasons to support you immediately."
"We can launch a raid. It won't waste a lot of time. We all send out cavalry for a quick fight. I know their village. As a guide, I will ensure that the coalition forces will not get lost."
"Is that so?" Kagan's face showed a fierce smile, like a wolf staring at the helpless lamb. He slapped his thighs: "I thought you were instigating us to unite and attack the Smolensk people, and you actually took the Smolensk people you mentioned."
"At least this is very safe."
"Are the Mickeys pulling weak?"
"The population is small, and the whole is not strong. In principle, they are related to us, but they are not willing to join us. To deal with such people, our Kiev method is naturally to beat. Besides, we also need a group of women, presumably you The same is needed."
"Indeed, we need foreign women to give birth to our children." Kagan replied.
The words between the men were rather savage, completely ignoring the existence of the woman Bejasir. Bejasher didn't think so, she couldn't have any empathy with the so-called La Mickey woman.
Sakyi also had other concerns. He confessed to Kagan: "I am still wary of the Smolensk people. Last year we succeeded. This year I am worried that they will take guard."
"Do you think it is difficult for our warriors on the grassland to win?"
"Be careful! Smolensk has a large population, if..."
"Forget it. You are just a man who sells horses, and you still don't understand the way we fight in the steppes."
Kagan is indeed a nobleman, and Sakyi is not a generational nobleman of the Kievan Slavs. He could see that this Sakyi actually wanted to gain more political capital from his community through military exploits in order to advance to their "Khan" position.
Sakyi’s work as a “khan” of the Kievans is obviously beneficial to the Pecheneg tribal alliance. Although he looks down on these Kievans, he is also aware that Pecheneg is facing the current international situation. If you have the ability to develop some powerful allies, you should try to build close relationships.
Combining battles with potential allies is a shortcut to establishing a good relationship.
No, Kagan made a bold statement: "The Mickeys of La will attack! The Smolensk people will attack even more! I will leave a small part of the troops to look after my commercial horse herd, and I will personally lead two hundred elite cavalrymen to launch. Offense. What shall you do?"
"A hundred cavalry!" Sakyi gritted his teeth.
"A hundred cavalry? Do you really have so many?"
"Of course there is."
"Okay. You!" Kagan pointed at Sakyi's face, "You are a horse seller, and you will not lie when talking about horses. Listen, we don't have a lot of time. If we can't make a quick decision, You and your Kiev nobles are all guilty for delaying my journey to Ross! Also! If I can't get satisfactory benefits from this raid, you are all guilty."
Sakyi is unwilling to show weakness and face the threat: "We will cooperate very happily. I guarantee with honor that our coalition will be honored."
This is Sackyi's gambling with everything he owns. He should be a person recognized by everyone, and it is a shortcut to take out his military exploits.
The Pecheneg horse team has nearly 250 cavalry, and another 200 commercial horses. The scale of this armed business group was smaller than last year. The purpose of Kagan's trip was also very clear. After buying horses, he tried his best to buy the iron and salt of the Rus. In the final analysis, what the prairie people need most is salt and iron.
Horses are commodities. If some women can be captured and sold to the Ross people, the total amount of commodities will increase greatly.
After all, last year, the noble Rurik slapped his chest, demanding to send as many people as possible to his Rose. In principle, it is okay to export all kinds of people except the elderly. Ross is not picky, and young women are the best.
Kagan was tempted by this. No, he immediately began to prepare for war.
The Pechenegge cavalry began to assemble, even Kagan's sister Bejashir put on a leather helmet and put down a silver-plated mask with her face, dressed as a male warrior and joined the cavalry.
"Actually, you don't need to participate in the offense." Kagan discouraged his sister.
"Why? If I were a man, you would not reject me. Even if I were a woman... Besides, as you said, Rurik’s wives and concubines are all female warriors. It’s exactly the same."
Her words made sense, and Kagan had to obey.
The Pecheneg cavalry came from strong tribal alliances, although they are not strong compared to the Khazars, Magyars (Hungarians) and Bulgars. They rely on "non-contact" tactics on the grasslands. Can toss so that the opponent has no temper.
After all, Kagan lived in Ross for a long time. He trained the Russian cavalry while also witnessing the tactics of the Ross. He discovered what his Pechenegg had in common with Rose-the army liked to use bows.
So this Pechenegg Warrior is equipped with two long-range weapons-crossbow and recurve bow.
The arm of the crossbow is a recurve bow. The collar at the front end can be put on the saddle. Soldiers can pull the bowstring with both hands to complete the winding. It is even the ultimate large draw distance that is not easy to do normally. In this way, soldiers can shoot with a crossbow, or even dismount and shoot prone.
The other is naturally a traditional recurve bow with bone clusters and iron cluster arrows.
Matched with short spear, imported Ross steel sword and hand axe.
All the cavalry have metal masks, and brown variegated feathers are inserted on the helmets. The assembly of the Pecheneg cavalry made the so-called Kiev cavalry daunting.
Without him, in order to meet Kagan's request, Sakyi was also upset that he had to take out a hundred cavalry for his performance. He really had enough of this hundred cavalry. The quality was a joke.
A leather blanket was placed on the horse's back, hemp rope made pedals, and the farmer holding a short wooden bow and a short spear sat on it. The horses are not excellent, and most of them don't even have iron horseshoes.
Although there are also well-equipped fighters among them, the only ones are the brothers who followed Sakoy to Ross last year. He was able to take out fifty cavalry, and this time he had to take out a hundred cavalry, which was just a mocking joke for Pechenegg.
Even so, these guys are all allies in the end.
There was only two days between the meeting and the launch of the attack on the village of La Mickey.
When the cavalry went out, they immediately showed their mobility far beyond that of infantry, even if they had all entered the forest area.
The settlement in Kiev, where they started, coincides geographically with Kiev after a thousand years. The target area of their attack was the forest area east of Chernigov after a millennium, where the Mickey people from UU reading www.uukanshu.com lived.
In terms of the situation, although the population of La Mitch is far smaller than that of Kiev’s Krivić, they are directly bordered by the Kiev civilian-controlled area. This has resulted in a direct conflict of interest, the so-called conflict of hunting rights.
If he could look down on the earth from the perspective of God, Kagan would decisively choose to take all the horse teams and sprint away directly, and after gaining income, he would go north directly.
He listened to Sakyi's description, and after finishing the raid, he digested a batch of spoils in the Kiev area, and then took the army to the north for the second time.
This will naturally consume some time. Thinking of the gains from the plunder of the expedition, he resolutely carried out this military adventure.
It can be seen that the Pecheneg people have such a firm attitude. As the actual initiator of the war, the upstart Maksakyi of Kiev, let alone the slightest negligence.
Three hundred rides towards the goal, the Mickey who pulled all this didn't know it.

A horse team from the grassland arrived in Kiev smoothly. Here they watched the autumn priests of the local people at the altar on the Dnieper River. The leader of the horse team had a good conversation with the Slavic nobles in Kiev.The leader of the horse team is no one else, it is Kagan, the heir of Pechenegg Khan!The large wooden house was full of men, and a young woman sitting in it was abrupt.She is Bejashir, one of Kagan's sisters, and she is also the youngest and most beautiful of the sisters.She is definitely not a weak woman, just like other Pecheneg female nobles, she was forced to learn to ride a horse like her own brother at a very young age. Even if they are women who are bound to become mothers in the future, their other identity is a female warrior.The vast grassland was bred by countless nomads. It was the Amazon tribe that had bred the Salmatians. Those sturdy female warriors made the Roman army embarrassed.Bejashir is not a weak person, although he has never participated in battle, he is also adept at arching horses. She is now even more equipped with new weapons, and her personal combat effectiveness should have risen dramatically.Of course, she did not go on an autumn trip with her brother. This trip was to implement the major event of lifemarriage.The future husband is not a stranger, but the righteous brother of his own brother, Ros Khan Rurik.Yes, in 839, Kagan did his best to quickly return to the tribal alliance stationed in the Volga Estuary, unloading a large amount of materials imported from Ross, facing an astonishing number of bear skins and terrifying bear fangs. Head, a kind of fear that comes from the depths of the heart spontaneously arises.The Pecheneg people respect Ross in the far north. They are also proud of themselves, and they equate the Principality of Ross with their own existence.The Pecheneg people and nobles are willing to call Ross a Khanate, and the leader of Ross is the Khan. Bear skin is a heavy warmth, mixed with imported linen cloth, which improves the warmth problem of grassland people's clothing.A large amount of ironware and a large amount of premium white salt referring to Atlantic sea salt is the most shocking alliance!That's a lot of iron spearheads! It can be easily built into a large number of spear rides!A large amount of salt was unloaded, and none of the Pechenegg tribes had so much good salt all at once in the past.As for the price paid by the tribal alliance is only five hundred good horses! Five hundred horses is of course also a big deal, and the advantage is that everyone can concentrate on raising horses. As long as the horses are successfully transported to Rose, the Pechenegs can obtain very important salt and iron supplies without risking war. What's more, the Rus are the few forces that have established friendly relations with everyone. The Rus ruler has been blood-stained with Kagansh. How can the Pechenegs live up to this important kindness?Ever since, Bejasher ushered in her mission.She took her two maids and rode her horses to the horse team going north.The first stop is here, Kiev on the Dnieper River.Once upon a time, the Krivic Slavs of Kiev remained vigilant against the Pechenegs, Khazars and Bolgars who were not far away. In recent years, the Pechenegg nobleman Kagan has always entered Kiev in the forest area with a peaceful attitude, and the public's guard mentality has become increasingly weakened.The Kyivians also have the ability to export linen fabrics and a small amount of leather to the grasslands. Although they are not as large as the Rus Principality, they are a useful supplement to the grasslands.The Pecheneg people in the Prairie will not simply export horses to the north. On the horsebacks are piles of hard cheeses, butter, and even horse milk wine. Sitting on the grasslands on the lower reaches of the Volga River, which is rich in water and grass, the Pecheneg people are trying their best to make these milk products and are busy raising horses. They work peacefully for the trade with Russia this fall.The large wooden house is very lively. The Kagan brothers and sisters are distinguished guests from afar, and the most noble Kievan noble in the wooden house is Mack Sakyi.People who dare to take risks and bring distant treasures and wonderful news to their hometown are always respected.The Krivic Slavs of Kiev cannot even be regarded as an alliance of tribes, just a group of small Slavic tribes that claim to be of the same origin and live by guarding a public altar. Everyone is not monolithic, but they don't want to betray each other. Anyone can do what everyone does, as long as the man is old enough and strong enough to have extraordinary merits.Is Sakyi such a person? At least not all.He has made great achievements, and has not been respected as the most senior speaker by all tribes and villages for the time being.Therefore, he needs more merits.The wooden house was full of men's chattering, and a group of people were talking in Slavic. Their eyes were not fixed on the short, black-haired Bejasher, but they were embarrassed to point and talk.Sackyi coughed vigorously, and he needed such a person to open the chattering box for the formal meeting."Kagan Khan! My old friend." He directly called Kagan Khan almost once, "I know your purpose very well, to go to Rose for business. How can we Kyiv not participate in this matter.""Yes! Let's participate!""You must participate! We must follow suit to make a fortune."Sakyi was half talking, and his fellow clan yelled and yelled again, and this attitude directly amused Kagan."Friend, what are you laughing at?" Sacky muttered."Did I laugh? Maybe. Seeing your nobles so enthusiastic, I'm relieved."Sakyi motioned to the people to be quiet, smiled awkwardly, and his beard fluttered: "I heard that you have multiple younger sisters. Obviously this... is one of your younger sisters.""Ask it knowingly.""I also know what you mean. It was a smart choice to marry her to that Rurik, and I also know that Duke Rurik of Ross agreed. You have decided to marry, which is a closer relationship than a blood alliance. ""Oh? How am I listening, you Kyivians also want to send a daughter of a nobleman to marry the Rus?""No need. Our status is not as noble as yours." Sakyi made a self-deprecation and at the same time made it clear: "However, we Kievans are willing to send some women to Ross.""Did you bring some female tribesmen north?""Are you kidding?" Sakyi winked, then laughed.When Kagan saw this, he stopped pretending: "I understand, let's attack the Smolensk people together.""Or you can have other choices.""what for?""Do you Pechenegs really think that our competitors are only Smolensks?""Who else?" Speaking of the sneak attack and looting, Kagan couldn't help but eager, so he poked his head with a beard and must ask what happened.Sakyi was also unambiguous on this side. He simply stood up and pointed to the west in full view: "On the other side of the river is our competitor, Delevrian." He pointed to the northeast again: "You can actually come first. Around there, the local La Mickeys are also our competitors."The cheerful expression was replaced by solemnity, and Kagan understood the other's gesture: "Let us launch a surprise attack?""Actually you can, and we can even unite.""Does this... take a long time?"Upon hearing this, Maksakyi let out a sigh of relief, and he was convinced that his depressive behavior successfully aroused the keen interest of the steppe warriors.Although this huge forest area is vast and sparsely populated, in theory, various tribal villages can live their lives in peace. But the greed of human nature is endless. In this era, population is productivity, and the act of plundering the population and materials of other tribes is not considered a sin. The huge forest area of Eastern Europe is like a dark forest. What a tribe wants to be strong is not simply to hide itself, but to try its best to expand its population resources.The Krivicians in Kiev also want to expand their strength, but they don't want to take big risks.Now there are as many as two hundred Pecheneg fighters appearing in Kiev as armed merchants, joining forces together, and taking advantage of the end of the autumn harvest to go to the threshing grass near the tribe, isn't it a wonderful thing?Sakyi took the opportunity to slap a rainbow fart: "With your strength, it is not a problem to eliminate some small villages. After we unite, we can do more. We attack the Delevrians to the west and pass through the swamp area Puri Piat, you have to go by boat, which is very detrimental to your cavalry. But attacking the Mickeys is not a problem at all.""Let the horses be placed on your bad canoes. Indeed, our soldiers can be unafraid, but our horses will be overly frightened. If it is to attack the Mickey you mentioned by land, I would be willing. But...""Are you worried? I know your concerns."Kagan raised his head: "Then give me some reasons to support you immediately.""We can launch a raid. It won't waste a lot of time. We all send out cavalry for a quick fight. I know their village. As a guide, I will ensure that the coalition forces will not get lost.""Is that so?" Kagan's face showed a fierce smile, like a wolf staring at the helpless lamb. He slapped his thighs: "I thought you were instigating us to unite and attack the Smolensk people, and you actually took the Smolensk people you mentioned.""At least this is very safe.""Are the Mickeys pulling weak?""The population is small, and the whole is not strong. In principle, they are related to us, but they are not willing to join us. To deal with such people, our Kiev method is naturally to beat. Besides, we also need a group of women, presumably you The same is needed.""Indeed, we need foreign women to give birth to our children." Kagan replied.The words between the men were rather savage, completely ignoring the existence of the woman Bejasir. Bejasher didn't think so, she couldn't have any empathy with the so-called La Mickey woman.Sakyi also had other concerns. He confessed to Kagan: "I am still wary of the Smolensk people. Last year we succeeded. This year I am worried that they will take guard.""Do you think it is difficult for our warriors on the grassland to win?""Be careful! Smolensk has a large population, if...""Forget it. You are just a man who sells horses, and you still don't understand the way we fight in the steppes."Kagan is indeed a nobleman, and Sakyi is not a generational nobleman of the Kievan Slavs. He could see that this Sakyi actually wanted to gain more political capital from his community through military exploits in order to advance to their "Khan" position.Sakyi's work as a khan of the Kievans is obviously beneficial to the Pecheneg tribal alliance. Although he looks down on these Kievans, he is also aware that Pecheneg is facing the current international situation. If you have the ability to develop some powerful allies, you should try to build close relationships.Combining battles with potential allies is a shortcut to establishing a good relationship.No, Kagan made a bold statement: "The Mickeys of La will attack! The Smolensk people will attack even more! I will leave a small part of the troops to look after my commercial horse herd, and I will personally lead two hundred elite cavalrymen to launch. Offense. What shall you do?""A hundred cavalry!" Sakyi gritted his teeth."A hundred cavalry? Do you really have so many?""Of course there is.""Okay. You!" Kagan pointed at Sakyi's face, "You are a horse seller, and you will not lie when talking about horses. Listen, we don't have a lot of time. If we can't make a quick decision, You and your Kiev nobles are all guilty for delaying my journey to Ross! Also! If I can't get satisfactory benefits from this raid, you are all guilty."Sakyi is unwilling to show weakness and face the threat: "We will cooperate very happily. I guarantee with honor that our coalition will be honored."This is Sackyi's gambling with everything he owns. He should be a person recognized by everyone, and it is a shortcut to take out his military exploits.The Pecheneg horse team has nearly 250 cavalry, and another 200 commercial horses. The scale of this armed business group was smaller than last year. The purpose of Kagan's trip was also very clear. After buying horses, he tried his best to buy the iron and salt of the Rus. In the final analysis, what the prairie people need most is salt and iron.Horses are commodities. If some women can be captured and sold to the Ross people, the total amount of commodities will increase greatly.After all, last year, the noble Rurik slapped his chest, demanding to send as many people as possible to his Rose. In principle, it is okay to export all kinds of people except the elderly. Ross is not picky, and young women are the best.Kagan was tempted by this. No, he immediately began to prepare for war.The Pechenegge cavalry began to assemble, even Kagan's sister Bejashir put on a leather helmet and put down a silver-plated mask with her face, dressed as a male warrior and joined the cavalry."Actually, you don't need to participate in the offense." Kagan discouraged his sister."Why? If I were a man, you would not reject me. Even if I were a woman... Besides, as you said, Rurik's wives and concubines are all female warriors. It's exactly the same."Her words made sense, and Kagan had to obey.The Pecheneg cavalry came from strong tribal alliances, although they are not strong compared to the Khazars, Magyars Hungarians and Bulgars. They rely on "non-contact" tactics on the grasslands. Can toss so that the opponent has no temper.After all, Kagan lived in Ross for a long time. He trained the Russian cavalry while also witnessing the tactics of the Ross. He discovered what his Pechenegg had in common with Rose-the army liked to use bows.So this Pechenegg Warrior is equipped with two long-range weapons-crossbow and recurve bow.The arm of the crossbow is a recurve bow. The collar at the front end can be put on the saddle. Soldiers can pull the bowstring with both hands to complete the winding. It is even the ultimate large draw distance that is not easy to do normally. In this way, soldiers can shoot with a crossbow, or even dismount and shoot prone.The other is naturally a traditional recurve bow with bone clusters and iron cluster arrows.Matched with short spear, imported Ross steel sword and hand axe.All the cavalry have metal masks, and brown variegated feathers are inserted on the helmets. The assembly of the Pecheneg cavalry made the so-called Kiev cavalry daunting.Without him, in order to meet Kagan's request, Sakyi was also upset that he had to take out a hundred cavalry for his performance. He really had enough of this hundred cavalry. The quality was a joke.A leather blanket was placed on the horse's back, hemp rope made pedals, and the farmer holding a short wooden bow and a short spear sat on it. The horses are not excellent, and most of them don't even have iron horseshoes.Although there are also well-equipped fighters among them, the only ones are the brothers who followed Sakoy to Ross last year. He was able to take out fifty cavalry, and this time he had to take out a hundred cavalry, which was just a mocking joke for Pechenegg.Even so, these guys are all allies in the end.There was only two days between the meeting and the launch of the attack on the village of La Mickey.When the cavalry went out, they immediately showed their mobility far beyond that of infantry, even if they had all entered the forest area.The settlement in Kiev, where they started, coincides geographically with Kiev after a thousand years. The target area of their attack was the forest area east of Chernigov after a millennium, where the Mickey people from UU reading www.uukanshu.com lived.In terms of the situation, although the population of La Mitch is far smaller than that of Kiev's Krivi, they are directly bordered by the Kiev civilian-controlled area. This has resulted in a direct conflict of interest, the so-called conflict of hunting rights.If he could look down on the earth from the perspective of God, Kagan would decisively choose to take all the horse teams and sprint away directly, and after gaining income, he would go north directly.He listened to Sakyi's description, and after finishing the raid, he digested a batch of spoils in the Kiev area, and then took the army to the north for the second time.This will naturally consume some time. Thinking of the gains from the plunder of the expedition, he resolutely carried out this military adventure.It can be seen that the Pecheneg people have such a firm attitude. As the actual initiator of the war, the upstart Maksakyi of Kiev, let alone the slightest negligence.Three hundred rides towards the goal, the Mickey who pulled all this didn't know it.
