The Sozh River flows quietly in autumn. It is one of many rivers that merge into the Dnieper.
More streams flow into the Sori River like leaf veins, and next to these streams, another group of people in the forest are bred.
The La Mickeys are also a group from the eve of the Vistula River in the far west to Eastern Europe. Their population is very small and they are reluctant to have too much contact with outsiders. They live their own days of farming, fishing and hunting in the forest. They seem to be so peaceful. Life can last forever.
They have a limited understanding of the outside world, knowing that there is a larger forest outside the forest, where people who speak the same language as themselves live.
The communication with each other is too limited, so that those people have already moved to kill, and they don't know it.
It is hard to open up farmland in the forest. After logging, the roots of the trees are thrown away and the land is leveled. The fertility of such fields is very low, so the Lamich people use the mud and rotten reeds from the stream as fertilizer to improve the soil quality.
They do everything they can to produce food to meet their own needs, but the extremely low yield makes the oats grown alone not enough to ensure that everyone does not starve to death.
Hunting, fishing, and even hunting for honey to collect mushrooms, it is precisely the current autumn. The villages of the La Micchi are vigilantly sweeping the Agaricus bisporus in the forest with the posture of the whole village.
They must be careful, because the Krivic in another forest may compete with them for living space, and it is not impossible for an embarrassing encounter to have a fierce battle.
They must be more careful with wandering brown bears, because in this forest, bears that are ready to hibernate and hunt wildly will attack any living creatures and will give priority to people as food.
But this time, the village of La Mickey ushered in a crazy attack that surpassed his own understanding.
In the beginning, the mushroom pickers were attacked.
The horse team of the Pecheneg-Kiev coalition went deep into the forest, with Sakyi, a dedicated guide, and the team's raid went smoothly.
The cavalry was walking in the forest, and their horses hoof rustled against the fallen leaves.
Although the mushroom pickers heard a strange noise, they thought it was a bear, but they were hit by arrows.
The husband was shot and fell dead in front of his wife and children.
Then some dark shadows rushed out of the cover of the forest, and the Pecheneg warriors with iron masks surrounded the mushroom pickers.
Those who tried to resist were killed again, and only the young women and children were left alive.
The ropes of the horses are wrapped around the people, and the mushroom pickers are captured.
Five people were captured in an assault, and Sakyi couldn't empathize with these people, and just a few tricks made all the captives submit.
The captives explained the location of the village, and finally what will happen in the future, they have no daring to imagine.
"A village of maybe two hundred people can be regarded as a piece of roasted meat dripping with fat." Kagan was excited, so he made his subordinates camp in secret, and ate some cheese at night and never made a fire.
The same order also applies to the Kievans, because Sakyi is a coordinator, and the main force in a normal raid is the steppe.
There was no bonfire in the dark night forest. The soldiers huddled together to sleep. After the horses ate a batch of oats given by the Kievans, they also gathered together and knelt on the soft fallen leaves to sleep.
Just as the forest was misty, the golden sunlight shone on the ground like a curtain through the cracks of the dead leaves, and the dormant army came alive!
"Get on all horses! Show them how good we are! Remember, try to catch alive, we also hope that more women will be captured to make a fortune!" The horseback Kagan called on his men in the Turkic dialect.
Sackyi basically didn't understand what this guy was talking about, but he noticed the current situation and today is the moment to make merit.
Pechenegg soldiers pulled down their iron masks, holding crossbows or recurve bows, and lined up in a wide line to fumble forward in the forest.
Kagan couldn't believe his allies in Kiev, so they all followed him, sharing a piece of the pie when the chaos began.
Naturally, the "first predatory power" of this raid must be firmly controlled by the leader of Pechenegg's army, after all, the brothers still expect to make a fortune.
The cavalry marched slowly forward in clusters, and the Pecheneg army in the past on the prairie was not willing to advance with this rather risky tactic. Considering that his opponent is a group of "forest prey", the next battle is not a risk.
Many La Mitch villages are scattered in this forest. In the future, this woodland will give birth to Slavic cities such as Chernigov and Sumy. The La Mitch people will also be integrated into a larger scale. Of the national organization, but not now.
In today's era, there are only villages that are surrounded by their own sprouts, and a village has been spotted by outsiders on horseback.
A small flat land next to a stream appears in the dense forest, and a large number of harvested farmland wraps a small-walled village tightly.
The cowherd people vaguely saw a large number of squirming black shadows appearing in the mist. The shepherd subconsciously felt that it was a bear running out. After stopping and paying attention for a while, he realized that something was wrong.
From the perspective of the cavalry, the situation is another matter.
The proud Kagan is not a fool, he can't help but get nervous when he sees the large fence in the farmland.
"Sakyi." He asked: "The so-called Ramicians you mentioned are very weak. Why do they still have walls?"
"Ah? My friend, don't you...you are afraid of the wall?" Sakyi had to ask timidly.
"No. It's just that you never said this."
"But we in Kiev likewise set up walls in settlements to prevent bears from coming in to eat our livestock and poultry. This is not a concern."
Looking into Sakyi's eyes, Kagan shook his head: "I don't believe it, at least not at all."
"What do you want?"
Kagan looked ahead through the mist, sighed softly, and asked, "You Kyivians really want to be our ally? You should know that if you are an ally with our Pechenegs, and then formally form an alliance with the Russ, it will be very difficult. Good! I! The next Pechenegg Khan will help you with good words. It will facilitate the formation of our tripartite alliance."
He didn't need to say any more, Sakoy understood the meaning completely.
"I understand! Let me take someone to find out what they are."
"Exactly, take your people to charge once. If you win, your people will rob first. Prove your attitude and charge me."
Sakyi deeply sighed for Kagan's cunning, he was severely attacked by the generals. He subjectively did not want to attack blindly, and now there is no room for compromise. This calls the army, and uses the plunder as a promise or arouses the morale of the soldiers.
However, to the surprise of the Pecheneg people, they saw that most of their Kiev allies got off their horses, and they took the guys at hand into the offensive as infantry.
Kagan quickly clarified the answer, the so-called Kyiv horses are too expensive.
Under the leadership of Sakyi, the Kievans rushed in with a large number of bows. Sakyi thought of a plan and approached the village wall, threw a rope around the corner of the wooden wall, everyone worked together to pull it down, and the army swarmed.
The fighting broke out suddenly, and all the Kievans burst into the mist and screamed forward. No one wants to do any verbal negotiation with the Mickeys of La Mickey, it is to fight a face to face immediately.
The sudden attack was shocking. Even if the village people closed the gates and the men and women in the village were all in battle, there were still too few people who could fight. They relied on their own walls as a cover to climb high and shoot arrows at the attackers. A better way.
Iron clusters are much easier to use than bone clusters. Although the wooden bows of the Kievans are of poor quality, shooting the iron cluster arrows of imported Ross still brings great tactical advantages.
Some people hold shields and throw ropes, while others shoot arrows to cover. A hundred people attacked a little bit with all their strength. Soon after the battle began, a wooden wall was abruptly pulled down.
"Brothers, it's time to get rich! Follow me!"
Two of the old folks of Sakyi had been to Ross, and they had a shotgun for themselves based on the proceeds from selling horses.
Without iron armor, the thick bear skin is simple leather armor. They carried Ross steel swords and steel axes, and leaned in front of them with their shields, and rushed towards the large number of Mickey villagers who were holding short spears.
Because a small number of fighters from Kiev participated in the battle against the Karelians in the extreme north by Ross a few years ago, although only a small group of people were forcibly recruited by the Duke of Ross as mercenaries, which was also a symbolic participation in the war. . The Kievans didn't get any treasure. If it was good, they had seen the tactics of the Rus or the Varyag large army.
They clumsy imitating the Ross people to fight, especially the imitating huge round shields stacked on each other into a wall, and slammed into the "short spear wall" facing the Mickey villagers.
Someone was stabbed to death by a short spear, even if the spear was actually made of horns, it would be easy to stab the Kiev invaders.
Seeing the death of their companions, the Kievans launched an even more frenzied offensive in their fury.
The Mickeys in the village couldn't close the gap at all, their front collapsed, and they were killed indiscriminately.
The battle finally evolved into a "classical Slavic" appearance, that is, men and women armed men mingled in chaos.
Not far away, Kagan and the prairie cavalry just squinted and watched, and the cavalry waited for their boss' orders.
Kagan has been waiting for a safe time, seeing that his allies have already invaded the village, and the time has finally arrived.
He held a crossbow high: "Brothers follow me! Make a detour behind the village wall and intercept and kill the escapers!"
Kagan predicted the actions of the La Micchi, and the Pecheneg cavalry suddenly appeared and successfully completed the interception.
Arrows shot the fugitive mercilessly, and the rest were stunned.
The battle is now completely over, and what is left is that two groups of invaders will drive away cattle and sheep and take the captives away.
Only a truly decisive person can become a khan on the grassland, and treat some enemies fiercely even if they surrender. In principle, a large number of slaves should be left alive and sold as slaves to earn money, but the strong resistance attitude of the villagers of Ra’s Mickey made him wary.
Any man taller than the wheel of a trolley was deliberately killed by the Pecheneg, which is the tradition of the steppe according to Kagan. As for the women who were still alive, they were left behind, **** with ropes and placed on horses.
All this, Bejashir saw it all. The wailing of those women couldn't make her, a Turkic woman, emotional, and she was as indifferent as she was facing a dead body in the same place.
She is also not a hard-hearted person, but as a prairie woman, today's female warrior, even if her body and mind are deeply shocked, she can't show it on the bright side.
As if the village was washed down by the flooding river, the Pecheneg people were more ferocious than the flood.
More than forty women of various ages were captured, the oldest was only 30 years old, and the youngest was entirely a child. All the women who could have children were taken away by the Pechenegs, and the rest were thrown at the Kiev allies.
The Kievans in Sakyi did not lose, and did not get a few valuable prisoners in this battle, but the granary in this village was taken by the brothers!
Several people died in Kiev. These losses are too small compared to the results of the plunder. It can be said that this battle is a rare initiative by the Slavic community in Kiev. Brothers have tasted the sweetness of victory! The brothers who died in the war were wrapped in linen, tied with a rope and placed on horseback. The deceased would be transported to the cemetery next to the Kievan’s large altar, and they would also be buried in a heroic manner.
The cavalry drove away with captives, a large amount of food and a small amount of cattle and sheep, leaving behind the corpses of jackals and brown bears to eat.
The former prosperous village fell into dead silence, and soon other La Mickeys would be the main cause of this disaster.
They can make some decisions, but the wheels of history have been crushed, and the peaceful life in the forests of the past will definitely disappear.
It's just because, as a whole, all La Mickeys exist near the Dnieper River Commercial Road, and their pastoral era is over!
In the same way, the pastoral era of the Smolensk people has actually ended. As for the outsiders did not launch a fierce attack, it is just that the king of the north, Rurik, has not yet started.
The returning cavalry unloaded a large amount of food, and several brothers died, but the Kievans still won.
Regardless of how much the steppe cavalry contributed in this short "expedition", it is a fact that the Kievans sent troops and won a big victory.
The self-confidence of the people was overwhelming. They really buried their dead brothers with the courtesy of heroes and gave a large amount of spoils to the families of the dead.
Now, Sakyi can lick his face and ask the heads of the villages: "I have a military exploit, now you can recommend me to be the chief, right?"
In this matter, many leading figures still remain silent, or that everyone still has concerns about a horse dealer, Sakyi. They made hints. On the surface, they asked Sakyi to show more merits. In fact, each leader needs more money and slaves. As long as the bribes are in place, Sakyi’s position as chief is the real order. People are convinced.
In this way, it is even more necessary to take the Smolensk village in the north.
Pecheneg and Kiev formed an armed caravan. Horses carried local products and as many as thirty female prisoners, and once again traveled north along the Dnieper River.
Sometimes Kagan feels that the trip during this period is really unnecessary. It is understandable that the spoils of the Mickey villages in Raid attacked, that is, the army must first run to the northeast and then return to Kiev.
The huge Pripet Marsh is the natural dividing line between Belarusian-speaking Ukraine, and today it is also a great barrier between the Slavs of Delevrian and the Krivic Slavs of the Kiev region.
It is not a problem to make contact when the ship is drifting, but it is a period of torment to go by land.
This is not the first time that the horse team has come. They are advancing along the east bank of the Dnieper River, which is the eastern edge of the Pripet Marsh. The harder underwood road gives the cavalry suitable access.
They traveled on a special road. Legend has it that there are monsters inhabiting the swamps to the west, as well as the evil gods in the legends of Slavs. Those who enter rashly will be swallowed by the swamp. The forest area to the east of the horse brigade is no longer mysterious. There are still villages of La Mickey, like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Whether armed merchants from the grassland launch an attack depends on the wishes of the commander.
It was the Smolensk people in the north who really received a little attention from Kagan. Originally, he was very disdainful. Sakyi asked to be vigilant one after another, which made people’s ears callous, forcing Kagan’s super self-confidence to weaken. .
Thirty female prisoners were sold to the Rurik brothers, which would have hurt the strength of the Pechenegg Khanate too much.
A Smolensk village must be wiped out, the coalition forces have acted!
Although they had walked along the Dnieper River for a while and met a larger village, seeing that this village had more defenses, Kagan took his steppe army and launched a sneak attack.
Just like on the prairie, the current Pecheneg people are always unwilling to fight the cavalry on the prairie of the Khazanah, because they really can’t afford to lose, so use sneak attacks and looting without military ethics as an important battle. The way, Pecheneg people feel at ease.
The steppe cavalry took advantage of their lazy morning hours to severely beat the targeted Smolensk village by surprise.
Obviously the village built a wall, but the quality of the wall was not good enough, and it was still pulled down by the invaders, followed by brutal killings...
Kagan had taken more than sixty living people into captivity this time, all of whom were young women who had been screened out by him. As for the rest, those who fled into the forest didn't have to chase them, and the others were killed directly.
From the perspective of Sakyi, the Kievans and the Smolensk people share the same ancestor, and it is really lingering to let him die. But Kagan, a prairie hero, seemed to have a deep hatred with the Smolensk people, and acted like killing for the sake of killing.
The coalition forces abducted nearly a hundred women before and after they left the Smolensk territory wildly. They entered the Valdai marsh area. As long as they continued to the north, they could find the channel of the Lovati River. The rest Just marching along the river.
The coalition horse team still kept fast through the Valday Marsh. It was at this time that the Smolensk reinforcements finally arrived at the attacked scene.
The militiamen abused in rage, and some were nervous. They were terrified and didn't know who the murderer was.
One of the nobles in the reinforcements has a very special status. He is Vadim, who fled from the pine needle manor in the Novgorod region.
After so many years, Vadim is twenty-one years old. He is a son-in-law, and he has the same father and son with the chief of Smolensk, at least on the face of it.
"What else to worry about? All this is done by the Rus people in the north! The attacked village is on the north bank of the Dnieper River (this section of the river shows an east-west direction), which means that the attacker must have come from the north. I know the Rus people well. , They are cruel. We are right to guard against them, but some people are still slacking..." Vadim told his nobles in Smolensk.
The nobles also have ears. In the final analysis, the nobles in many villages in Smolensk did not have much enthusiasm. Most of the nobles have met the Varangians, but don’t know much about the Russ among the Varangans. Since they are so fierce, they have to weigh their own strength if they really go north to conquer their brothers~www.novelhall.com~ already The price to be paid.
Even after Vadim promised to expel the Ross people, Smolensk's rulership of Lake Ilmen was the ruler of Smolensk. As a down-and-out noble, he only wanted revenge, and nothing else.
Facing the **** slaughter, everyone was still persuaded.
The chieftain pressed his son-in-law, and the nobles were determined to still adopt a conservative strategy.
But Vadim's analysis was all wrong. The attack site was indeed on the north bank of the big river, and it seemed that the attackers came from the north. The upper reaches of the Dnieper River is still wide, and it is not easy to cross the river smoothly. So the horse teams from the south passed the Dnieper River at the ferry shoal further south. This special geographical structure is unknown to the Smolensk people.
The Smolensk people are accumulating anger, and the greed for Lake Ilmen in the north has gradually turned into anger against the Ross people. This is what Vadim is eager to see. He even secretly poked hope that there will be more attacks. Only then can the indecisive local nobles be united by the anger in their hearts, and can organize the army to launch the so-called just northern expedition.

This is not the first time that the horse team has come. They are advancing along the east bank of the Dnieper River, which is the eastern edge of the Pripet Marsh. The harder underwood road gives the cavalry suitable access.
They traveled on a special road. Legend has it that there are monsters inhabiting the swamps to the west, as well as the evil gods in the legends of Slavs. Those who enter rashly will be swallowed by the swamp. The forest area to the east of the horse brigade is no longer mysterious. There are still villages of La Mickey, like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Whether armed merchants from the grassland launch an attack depends on the wishes of the commander.
It was the Smolensk people in the north who really received a little attention from Kagan. Originally, he was very disdainful. Sakyi asked to be vigilant one after another, which made people’s ears callous, forcing Kagan’s super self-confidence to weaken. .
Thirty female prisoners were sold to the Rurik brothers, which would have hurt the strength of the Pechenegg Khanate too much.
A Smolensk village must be wiped out, the coalition forces have acted!
Although they had walked along the Dnieper River for a while and met a larger village, seeing that this village had more defenses, Kagan took his steppe army and launched a sneak attack.
Just like on the prairie, the current Pecheneg people are always unwilling to fight the cavalry on the prairie of the Khazanah, because they really can’t afford to lose, so use sneak attacks and looting without military ethics as an important battle. The way, Pecheneg people feel at ease.
The steppe cavalry took advantage of their lazy morning hours to severely beat the targeted Smolensk village by surprise.
Obviously the village built a wall, but the quality of the wall was not good enough, and it was still pulled down by the invaders, followed by brutal killings...
Kagan had taken more than sixty living people into captivity this time, all of whom were young women who had been screened out by him. As for the rest, those who fled into the forest didn't have to chase them, and the others were killed directly.
From the perspective of Sakyi, the Kievans and the Smolensk people share the same ancestor, and it is really lingering to let him die. But Kagan, a prairie hero, seemed to have a deep hatred with the Smolensk people, and acted like killing for the sake of killing.
The coalition forces abducted nearly a hundred women before and after they left the Smolensk territory wildly. They entered the Valdai marsh area. As long as they continued to the north, they could find the channel of the Lovati River. The rest Just marching along the river.
The coalition horse team still kept fast through the Valday Marsh. It was at this time that the Smolensk reinforcements finally arrived at the attacked scene.
The militiamen abused in rage, and some were nervous. They were terrified and didn't know who the murderer was.
One of the nobles in the reinforcements has a very special status. He is Vadim, who fled from the pine needle manor in the Novgorod region.
After so many years, Vadim is twenty-one years old. He is a son-in-law, and he has the same father and son with the chief of Smolensk, at least on the face of it.
"What else to worry about? All this is done by the Rus people in the north! The attacked village is on the north bank of the Dnieper River (this section of the river shows an east-west direction), which means that the attacker must have come from the north. I know the Rus people well. , They are cruel. We are right to guard against them, but some people are still slacking..." Vadim told his nobles in Smolensk.
The nobles also have ears. In the final analysis, the nobles in many villages in Smolensk did not have much enthusiasm. Most of the nobles have met the Varangians, but don’t know much about the Russ among the Varangans. Since they are so fierce, they have to weigh their own strength if they really go north to conquer their brothers~www.novelhall.com~ already The price to be paid.
Even after Vadim promised to expel the Ross people, Smolensk's rulership of Lake Ilmen was the ruler of Smolensk. As a down-and-out noble, he only wanted revenge, and nothing else.
Facing the **** slaughter, everyone was still persuaded.
The chieftain pressed his son-in-law, and the nobles were determined to still adopt a conservative strategy.
But Vadim's analysis was all wrong. The attack site was indeed on the north bank of the big river, and it seemed that the attackers came from the north. The upper reaches of the Dnieper River is still wide, and it is not easy to cross the river smoothly. So the horse teams from the south passed the Dnieper River at the ferry shoal further south. This special geographical structure is unknown to the Smolensk people.
The Smolensk people are accumulating anger, and the greed for Lake Ilmen in the north has gradually turned into anger against the Ross people. This is what Vadim is eager to see. He even secretly poked hope that there will be more attacks. Only then can the indecisive local nobles be united by the anger in their hearts, and can organize the army to launch the so-called just northern expedition.

The Sozh River flows quietly in autumn. It is one of many rivers that merge into the Dnieper.More streams flow into the Sori River like leaf veins, and next to these streams, another group of people in the forest are bred.The La Mickeys are also a group from the eve of the Vistula River in the far west to Eastern Europe. Their population is very small and they are reluctant to have too much contact with outsiders. They live their own days of farming, fishing and hunting in the forest. They seem to be so peaceful. Life can last forever.They have a limited understanding of the outside world, knowing that there is a larger forest outside the forest, where people who speak the same language as themselves live.The communication with each other is too limited, so that those people have already moved to kill, and they don't know it.It is hard to open up farmland in the forest. After logging, the roots of the trees are thrown away and the land is leveled. The fertility of such fields is very low, so the Lamich people use the mud and rotten reeds from the stream as fertilizer to improve the soil quality.They do everything they can to produce food to meet their own needs, but the extremely low yield makes the oats grown alone not enough to ensure that everyone does not starve to death.Hunting, fishing, and even hunting for honey to collect mushrooms, it is precisely the current autumn. The villages of the La Micchi are vigilantly sweeping the Agaricus bisporus in the forest with the posture of the whole village.They must be careful, because the Krivic in another forest may compete with them for living space, and it is not impossible for an embarrassing encounter to have a fierce battle.They must be more careful with wandering brown bears, because in this forest, bears that are ready to hibernate and hunt wildly will attack any living creatures and will give priority to people as food.But this time, the village of La Mickey ushered in a crazy attack that surpassed his own understanding.In the beginning, the mushroom pickers were attacked.The horse team of the Pecheneg-Kiev coalition went deep into the forest, with Sakyi, a dedicated guide, and the team's raid went smoothly.The cavalry was walking in the forest, and their horses hoof rustled against the fallen leaves.Although the mushroom pickers heard a strange noise, they thought it was a bear, but they were hit by arrows.The husband was shot and fell dead in front of his wife and children.Then some dark shadows rushed out of the cover of the forest, and the Pecheneg warriors with iron masks surrounded the mushroom pickers.Those who tried to resist were killed again, and only the young women and children were left alive.The ropes of the horses are wrapped around the people, and the mushroom pickers are captured.Five people were captured in an assault, and Sakyi couldn't empathize with these people, and just a few tricks made all the captives submit.The captives explained the location of the village, and finally what will happen in the future, they have no daring to imagine."A village of maybe two hundred people can be regarded as a piece of roasted meat dripping with fat." Kagan was excited, so he made his subordinates camp in secret, and ate some cheese at night and never made a fire.The same order also applies to the Kievans, because Sakyi is a coordinator, and the main force in a normal raid is the steppe.There was no bonfire in the dark night forest. The soldiers huddled together to sleep. After the horses ate a batch of oats given by the Kievans, they also gathered together and knelt on the soft fallen leaves to sleep.Just as the forest was misty, the golden sunlight shone on the ground like a curtain through the cracks of the dead leaves, and the dormant army came alive!"Get on all horses! Show them how good we are! Remember, try to catch alive, we also hope that more women will be captured to make a fortune!" The horseback Kagan called on his men in the Turkic dialect.Sackyi basically didn't understand what this guy was talking about, but he noticed the current situation and today is the moment to make merit.Pechenegg soldiers pulled down their iron masks, holding crossbows or recurve bows, and lined up in a wide line to fumble forward in the forest.Kagan couldn't believe his allies in Kiev, so they all followed him, sharing a piece of the pie when the chaos began.Naturally, the "first predatory power" of this raid must be firmly controlled by the leader of Pechenegg's army, after all, the brothers still expect to make a fortune.The cavalry marched slowly forward in clusters, and the Pecheneg army in the past on the prairie was not willing to advance with this rather risky tactic. Considering that his opponent is a group of "forest prey", the next battle is not a risk.Many La Mitch villages are scattered in this forest. In the future, this woodland will give birth to Slavic cities such as Chernigov and Sumy. The La Mitch people will also be integrated into a larger scale. Of the national organization, but not now.In today's era, there are only villages that are surrounded by their own sprouts, and a village has been spotted by outsiders on horseback.A small flat land next to a stream appears in the dense forest, and a large number of harvested farmland wraps a small-walled village tightly.The cowherd people vaguely saw a large number of squirming black shadows appearing in the mist. The shepherd subconsciously felt that it was a bear running out. After stopping and paying attention for a while, he realized that something was wrong.From the perspective of the cavalry, the situation is another matter.The proud Kagan is not a fool, he can't help but get nervous when he sees the large fence in the farmland."Sakyi." He asked: "The so-called Ramicians you mentioned are very weak. Why do they still have walls?""Ah? My friend, don't you...you are afraid of the wall?" Sakyi had to ask timidly."No. It's just that you never said this.""But we in Kiev likewise set up walls in settlements to prevent bears from coming in to eat our livestock and poultry. This is not a concern."Looking into Sakyi's eyes, Kagan shook his head: "I don't believe it, at least not at all.""What do you want?"Kagan looked ahead through the mist, sighed softly, and asked, "You Kyivians really want to be our ally? You should know that if you are an ally with our Pechenegs, and then formally form an alliance with the Russ, it will be very difficult. Good! I! The next Pechenegg Khan will help you with good words. It will facilitate the formation of our tripartite alliance."He didn't need to say any more, Sakoy understood the meaning completely."I understand! Let me take someone to find out what they are.""Exactly, take your people to charge once. If you win, your people will rob first. Prove your attitude and charge me."Sakyi deeply sighed for Kagan's cunning, he was severely attacked by the generals. He subjectively did not want to attack blindly, and now there is no room for compromise. This calls the army, and uses the plunder as a promise or arouses the morale of the soldiers.However, to the surprise of the Pecheneg people, they saw that most of their Kiev allies got off their horses, and they took the guys at hand into the offensive as infantry.Kagan quickly clarified the answer, the so-called Kyiv horses are too expensive.Under the leadership of Sakyi, the Kievans rushed in with a large number of bows. Sakyi thought of a plan and approached the village wall, threw a rope around the corner of the wooden wall, everyone worked together to pull it down, and the army swarmed.The fighting broke out suddenly, and all the Kievans burst into the mist and screamed forward. No one wants to do any verbal negotiation with the Mickeys of La Mickey, it is to fight a face to face immediately.The sudden attack was shocking. Even if the village people closed the gates and the men and women in the village were all in battle, there were still too few people who could fight. They relied on their own walls as a cover to climb high and shoot arrows at the attackers. A better way.Iron clusters are much easier to use than bone clusters. Although the wooden bows of the Kievans are of poor quality, shooting the iron cluster arrows of imported Ross still brings great tactical advantages.Some people hold shields and throw ropes, while others shoot arrows to cover. A hundred people attacked a little bit with all their strength. Soon after the battle began, a wooden wall was abruptly pulled down."Brothers, it's time to get rich! Follow me!"Two of the old folks of Sakyi had been to Ross, and they had a shotgun for themselves based on the proceeds from selling horses.Without iron armor, the thick bear skin is simple leather armor. They carried Ross steel swords and steel axes, and leaned in front of them with their shields, and rushed towards the large number of Mickey villagers who were holding short spears.Because a small number of fighters from Kiev participated in the battle against the Karelians in the extreme north by Ross a few years ago, although only a small group of people were forcibly recruited by the Duke of Ross as mercenaries, which was also a symbolic participation in the war. . The Kievans didn't get any treasure. If it was good, they had seen the tactics of the Rus or the Varyag large army.They clumsy imitating the Ross people to fight, especially the imitating huge round shields stacked on each other into a wall, and slammed into the "short spear wall" facing the Mickey villagers.Someone was stabbed to death by a short spear, even if the spear was actually made of horns, it would be easy to stab the Kiev invaders.Seeing the death of their companions, the Kievans launched an even more frenzied offensive in their fury.The Mickeys in the village couldn't close the gap at all, their front collapsed, and they were killed indiscriminately.The battle finally evolved into a "classical Slavic" appearance, that is, men and women armed men mingled in chaos.Not far away, Kagan and the prairie cavalry just squinted and watched, and the cavalry waited for their boss' orders.Kagan has been waiting for a safe time, seeing that his allies have already invaded the village, and the time has finally arrived.He held a crossbow high: "Brothers follow me! Make a detour behind the village wall and intercept and kill the escapers!"Kagan predicted the actions of the La Micchi, and the Pecheneg cavalry suddenly appeared and successfully completed the interception.Arrows shot the fugitive mercilessly, and the rest were stunned.The battle is now completely over, and what is left is that two groups of invaders will drive away cattle and sheep and take the captives away.Only a truly decisive person can become a khan on the grassland, and treat some enemies fiercely even if they surrender. In principle, a large number of slaves should be left alive and sold as slaves to earn money, but the strong resistance attitude of the villagers of Ra's Mickey made him wary.Any man taller than the wheel of a trolley was deliberately killed by the Pecheneg, which is the tradition of the steppe according to Kagan. As for the women who were still alive, they were left behind, **** with ropes and placed on horses.All this, Bejashir saw it all. The wailing of those women couldn't make her, a Turkic woman, emotional, and she was as indifferent as she was facing a dead body in the same place.She is also not a hard-hearted person, but as a prairie woman, today's female warrior, even if her body and mind are deeply shocked, she can't show it on the bright side.As if the village was washed down by the flooding river, the Pecheneg people were more ferocious than the flood.More than forty women of various ages were captured, the oldest was only 30 years old, and the youngest was entirely a child. All the women who could have children were taken away by the Pechenegs, and the rest were thrown at the Kiev allies.The Kievans in Sakyi did not lose, and did not get a few valuable prisoners in this battle, but the granary in this village was taken by the brothers!Several people died in Kiev. These losses are too small compared to the results of the plunder. It can be said that this battle is a rare initiative by the Slavic community in Kiev. Brothers have tasted the sweetness of victory! The brothers who died in the war were wrapped in linen, tied with a rope and placed on horseback. The deceased would be transported to the cemetery next to the Kievan's large altar, and they would also be buried in a heroic manner.The cavalry drove away with captives, a large amount of food and a small amount of cattle and sheep, leaving behind the corpses of jackals and brown bears to eat.The former prosperous village fell into dead silence, and soon other La Mickeys would be the main cause of this disaster.They can make some decisions, but the wheels of history have been crushed, and the peaceful life in the forests of the past will definitely disappear.It's just because, as a whole, all La Mickeys exist near the Dnieper River Commercial Road, and their pastoral era is over!In the same way, the pastoral era of the Smolensk people has actually ended. As for the outsiders did not launch a fierce attack, it is just that the king of the north, Rurik, has not yet started.The returning cavalry unloaded a large amount of food, and several brothers died, but the Kievans still won.Regardless of how much the steppe cavalry contributed in this short "expedition", it is a fact that the Kievans sent troops and won a big victory.The self-confidence of the people was overwhelming. They really buried their dead brothers with the courtesy of heroes and gave a large amount of spoils to the families of the dead.Now, Sakyi can lick his face and ask the heads of the villages: "I have a military exploit, now you can recommend me to be the chief, right?"In this matter, many leading figures still remain silent, or that everyone still has concerns about a horse dealer, Sakyi. They made hints. On the surface, they asked Sakyi to show more merits. In fact, each leader needs more money and slaves. As long as the bribes are in place, Sakyi's position as chief is the real order. People are convinced.In this way, it is even more necessary to take the Smolensk village in the north.Pecheneg and Kiev formed an armed caravan. Horses carried local products and as many as thirty female prisoners, and once again traveled north along the Dnieper River.Sometimes Kagan feels that the trip during this period is really unnecessary. It is understandable that the spoils of the Mickey villages in Raid attacked, that is, the army must first run to the northeast and then return to Kiev.The huge Pripet Marsh is the natural dividing line between Belarusian-speaking Ukraine, and today it is also a great barrier between the Slavs of Delevrian and the Krivic Slavs of the Kiev region.It is not a problem to make contact when the ship is drifting, but it is a period of torment to go by land.This is not the first time that the horse team has come.
