The battle
The battle took place near Pereyaslavl of Ryazan on the site, which was called Skornishchevo. The very name of the Moscow leader was a bad omen for the Ryazans; in respect of military art, Oleg conceded to the witty and talented Volynsky, who probably in his favor drew the excessive arrogance of the enemies and prepared them some surprise. "The Ryazanians waved vainly and with belt loops in vain, the chronicler continues; They fell like sheaves and were killed like pigs. So the Lord helped Grand Duke Dmitri Ivanovich and his soldiers: they defeated Ryazantsev, and their prince Oleg Ivanovich barely escaped with a little brigade. " Belt and rope loops, which are referred to here, probably were nothing more than the arcana, first used by the Ryazans in the battle of Skornivshchyna and transferred to them from the steppe neighbors. These arcanes, of course, deceived the chronicler who attributed such frivolity to the Ryazanians that they did not want to take weapons with them, but were going to knit the Moskvitians directly with ropes. for the first time used by the Ryazans in the battle of Skornivshchyna and transferred to them from the steppe neighbors.
