Rise of Rurik

War broke out!

The development of the situation did not allow Mechasta, the leader of the Grey Squirrel Tribe, to hesitate. Although he felt that the appearance of the enemy was very strange, the guys who charged first had a strong sense of deja vu.

But they launched a strong attack, and their own people had to push them back.

"All hunters are ready! All go up to the wooden wall, draw bows and shoot arrows!" Mechasta greeted vigorously. With nervous hearts, his clansmen held bows in one hand and an arrow in the other, and climbed behind the wall one after another. of scaffolding.

Mechasta looked left and right, and immediately ordered the arrow to be released freely.

At the same time, he also signaled to his younger son, Telavis, who was hiding in the humble tower, and asked the child to show his strength.

On the other hand, Kaihas, who led his group to kill the old enemy's village, was shocked that the enemy had fortified the wall. Looking at the sloped snow slope, he was a little worried that his attack would be frustrated. With a large number of Ross warriors behind him, he knew he couldn't back down.

Kaihas didn't say anything inspiring, he roared with a big mouth, and he mixed with the team of the tribe to attack.

Finally, the expected blow came!

The Grey Squirrel Tribe had organized more than 100 archers, as many as 70 people were standing on the wall, and there were also 30 people under the wall.

The arrows began to be thrown in large numbers, gaining the energy bonus of gravitational potential energy, and the falling bone arrows also had a good lethality.

The tribal warriors of the Salmon Lord who started the attack were wearing the thick leather jackets they were wearing. Because the wounds were shallow, the wounded still held up their short spears and screamed.

A few other poor men turned out to be utterly unlucky, and by chance the arrow hit them on the neck.

The moment of heavy damage directly led to the three warriors to the end. They vomited blood in pain, and the difficult moans were drowned in the clansmen's charging and killing.

I saw that many people were injured, and I saw that many arrows were flying towards me.

After blocking a few arrows with a wooden shield, Kaihas shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't be afraid! Let's rush quickly, climb the city wall and destroy all the abominable squirrels!"

This roar was heard by Mechasta on the wall.

"What's the matter? Are they..." Seeing the strangely dressed people standing not far behind the wailing guys,

Mechasta believed that it was not only the Varyags who attacked him, but also his theoretical kin who had become servants of the Salmon Lord.

The more he thought about it, the more certain Mechasta became.

"Brothers! It's the Salmons who attacked us. They've become the hounds of the Varangians, they're a pack of mad dogs, and we must shoot them!"

Whenever the Salmon Lord tribe is mentioned, the anger of the people of the Grey Squirrel tribe is ignited.

Everyone was very nervous at first, after all, everyone has never seen the huge formation today.

Even if it is as simple as an army of more than 300 people attacking a small village.

For them, it is tantamount to a huge war.

More and more Salmon Lord tribe warriors were hit by arrows, and some of the wounded began to sit down and grit their teeth to pull out the barbed arrows.

Others actually tried to retreat and escaped beyond the range of the opponent's bow and arrow.

In the chaos, Kaihas kept moving forward with difficulty. He saw that his clansmen became a little weak under the more and more powerful shooting of the enemy. He covered his vital torso with a wooden shield, and held high the iron sword inherited from his ancestors, in order to lead all brave men to continue to charge.

However, at least twenty people fell down with arrows. They didn't die, they just curled up in the snow and wailed.

Beside them, there are a lot of arrows terrifyingly inserted.

Finally, looking at the half-covered archer of the "Squirrel Man" not far away, and even the arrows shot from the tower, the morale of more people collapsed like this!

Some people began to choose to flee, even the man who was supposed to watch the ladder rushing to the front line, some people simply let go and ran back.

It was understandable that they avoided the bow and arrow, but Otto was infuriated by this action.

A large hand remained on Rurik's shoulders.

Now Rurik is witnessing the real battle, his feet in his boots are sweating unconsciously, and his eyes are even wider. A real ancient siege battle.

Is it wonderful? Do not! War doesn't matter, it's full of adrenaline.

Seeing that the guy who was sent to attack the city actually retreated, Rurik clearly felt that his shoulder blades were about to be crushed by his angry father.

"Dad... they are... on the run?" Rurik asked weakly.

"Damn Kaihas, that guy betrayed our trust. Rurik!" Otto ordered.

"exist!"

"Now, it's your time to prove yourself."

"Ah?! Did you let me lead someone to attack?!" Rurik was taken aback.

Otto let go of his hand, and then shoved his son suddenly, and then gave a serious order: "Take your mercenaries and shoot the fleeing people with a crossbow! Remember, traitors don't deserve to live."

Although it felt a little cruel, Rurik knew that there was nothing more important than military spirit in these moments.

Executing a few deserters and ordering the rest to continue rushing is the right way.

Rurik held his breath and pointed at the mercenaries standing in the team with his little finger.

Under the leadership of Yevlo, the mercenaries left the town of the Rus army.

Two hundred pairs of terrifying eyes looked at the twenty people, including Rurik, who had left the team. Everyone was paying attention to all the actions of the future leader, Rurik. Even waiting for the command of the big leader, although it is a servant who is slashing and fleeing.

Rurik invited Yevro to whisper a few words, and then he simply picked up a crossbow with an arrow on his own, and for the time being, as a captain, lined up the team, as if organizing a firing squad.

Only Yevlo was the first to shout in Old Finnish: Do not retreat! Hurry back to fight! Otherwise you will be wiped out! "

Perhaps this roar was drowned in the wailing of fleeing, and the excited cries of the enemy not far away, and the chill in the shaman's drumming.

Rurik's face froze, he didn't hesitate any longer.

"Crossbowmen!"

"Raise the bow! Launch!"

With an order, twenty arrows were fired, including Rurik, and six of the routers were immediately hit. The so-called hit here is no different from shooting.

Those who were hit by arrows at close range fell to the ground one after another, twitching frantically for a few times and then completely motionless, and the snow under them quickly became Yin Hong.

Instead of being killed by the enemy, he was easily killed by the Rus people who were supervising the battle.

At this moment, all the Salmon Lord Tribes who fled were stunned on the spot, and they remembered the scene when they were defeated. In fact, they didn't have much humiliation of defeat, and some were shocked by the sudden and inexplicable death.

Taking advantage of the gap between the crossbowmen's winding, Yevro shouted loudly; "Go on attack! Those who retreat will be killed!"

The attitude of the Rus people was serious, and the fleeing people turned their heads in panic and continued to rush towards the enemy's wall.

At this moment, Kaihas noticed the scene of his own people being punished, and he shouted vigorously: "No retreat!"

It's not that Kaihas's appeal is useful at all, but everyone knows that the Rus people do what they say. Their minds went blank, and they started to charge mechanically, and even the arrows that hit the enemy's body no longer felt any pain. In their opinion, there is nothing more terrifying than being hit by a crossbow of a Russ.

On the other hand, Mechasta, the leader of the Grey Squirrel Tribe, felt that his archer had made a contribution, and the enemy was repelled by the bow and arrow? He had to think about the clansmen's previous imaginations. The so-called enemy's labor expedition, they may be powerful, and now they are at the end of the shot.

However, the enemy made a comeback, and lo and behold, the momentum was even stronger.

"Damn! Here they are again. Men with spears, all on the wall!"

Mechasta saw the enemy come carrying the ladder and knew that they wanted to use it to climb the ice wall. The ice wall was deliberately built to prevent the enemy from climbing.

The archers remained conscientious, condescending, and as the enemy got closer, their ability to shoot squirrels with precision finally came in handy.

More Salmon Lord tribe warriors were hit by arrows, and they paid another batch of casualties, and finally touched the enemy's ice wall.

Kaihas held up the shield given by the Rus to protect his torso and head. He roared hoarsely and ordered the people to stand up the ladder.

More fighters decided to climb the sloping slope directly, only to realize that it was slippery ice just after they started trying it!

Some people tried to climb with stone manuscripts, and such people were shot in the eyes and neck by the sudden shooting of the bow, and they were killed on the spot. There were a lot of people who already had a lot of small wounds on their bodies, and the arrows were mounted on their leather jackets. The crazy thing was that there were more than ten arrows hanging on their bodies.

Even the shield of Kaihas, he felt the scene was shocking. Because near the handle behind the shield, three clusters of iron arrows that penetrated halfway appeared.

In the rush, he had no time to panic, and he stood under the sloping ice wall and ordered the soldiers to climb the ladder.

Some of the brave started to climb, others with their short bows, cast fire on the enemy on the wall.

From the very beginning, the Salmon Lord tribesmen unleashed their bows and arrows as they charged, and due to the small number of arrows fired and the lack of a clear target, the Grey Squirrel tribe suffered few casualties.

As the archers on both sides began to shoot at close range, both sides could see their eyes and faces clearly, and the battle really entered the heat of the battle.

The number of soldiers of the Grey Squirrel tribe began to be shot and fell from the scaffolding behind the wall, and there were more and more such people.

Mechasta looked worried, and he ordered the reserve soldiers to climb up to make up for the lack.

The only thing that makes Mechasta happy now is that his measures are effective. Today, the gates of the village walls are blocked by all kinds of heavy debris. The enemy has no means to enter through the main gate, and they have no ability to climb the ice wall directly. They can only rely on four very long ladders.

Because there are only four tools to break through, for the defending troops, guarding seems to be easy.

Several warriors who climbed were directly stabbed to death by short spears, which made those who intend to continue to climb terrified. In addition, stones were thrown down from time to time, or rolled down the ice wall, and the stones broke the legs of other people, or their heads were directly smashed, and the scene was a mess.

The deceased had fatal wounds, and some people who were dying quickly piled up under the ice wall.

The battlefield has become terrifying. In today's scene, the soldiers on both sides of the battle are seeing each other for the first time.

In the midst of the chaos, Mechasta finally saw the face of the man with the strangely patterned wooden shield.

"Damn it! It's definitely you! Kaihas, take your life!" After roaring, Mechasta's command was an iron arrow and a bow.

Kaihas vaguely heard someone shouting his name, his eyes flicked, and he saw someone aiming at him.

A conditioned reflex block, he resisted the shot of the iron cluster arrows that were less than ten meters away.

The arrow cluster penetrates the wooden shield as a whole, and if it advances a little, it can shoot blind.

Kaihas was almost paralyzed with fright. He thought of retreating, but when he thought of the people who had just been shot, he hesitated.

He was tormented by his hesitation, and his people were making apparently futile attacks.

Kaihas doesn't understand, does his new master want everyone to die? Also, when did the Grey Squirrel Tribe become so good at fighting? Aren't they a bunch of cowards who only passively defend themselves? Is it right for a coward to become a warrior? !

The reality is that the brave salmon master tribe may have lost their courage long ago, and the rest are cowards.

As more and more clansmen were killed by squirrels, the spirits of the clansmen who were still alive and continued to fight were about to collapse.

"Leader! If we go on like this, we'll be dead!" The tribal warriors with arrows on their leather jackets rushed to Kaihas's side.

Suddenly, Kaihas saw the man stiffen, and then collapsed to the ground.

An arrow pierced the back of the soldier's head. The owner of this iron cluster arrow was none other than the ten-year-old Telavis.

This kid is like a sniper, in fact he is doing sniper work now.

Telavis shot at least three people with precision. With confidence in his own abilities, he specifically shot the enemy's vital points, especially the neck where the large blood vessels were located.

This arrow directly destroyed the back of the man's head, and the whole man died on the spot in a sudden rigidity.

The tribe warrior died in front of him, and Kaihas's spirit finally collapsed.

"Brothers! Let's withdraw! Let everything go to hell!"

Kaihas couldn't care about anything anymore, he turned around urgently and started to take the lead in evacuating. The rest of the Salmon Lord tribe warriors also chose to retreat and abandoned the ladder directly.

Suddenly, an arrow hit Kaihas's back.

He literally fell a somersault, and then covered his ears with a heart-wrenching wailing.

Because he saw, right next to him, an ear hanging from the iron arrow cluster of an arrow, which was undoubtedly his own ear.

In grief and anger, he grabbed the arrow and continued to cover his ears to flee, even forgetting the shield given by the Rus.

Kaihas, what he will never forget is the iron sword that he inherited.

Rurik's eyelids trembled at the complete collapse of the Salmon Lord's tribe.

After all, according to the agreement, those who retreat without authorization will die.

Rurik looked a little embarrassed at his dignified father Otto, then turned his head back.

No matter what Otto thought, in the middle of the war, Rurik decided to ruthlessly fulfill his responsibilities.

Yevro shouted as usual: "No retreat! The traitor must die!"

But in the face of a complete collapse, Yevlo's roar was meaningless.

Rurik also had serious eyes. He took the lead in raising the crossbow with great force, and ordered, "Crossbowman! Raise the bow!"

Seeing this, all the tribal warriors who fled the Salmon Lord were stunned, but Kaihas didn't care about anything.

Otto was taken aback by the appearance of Kaihas's half-faced blood, and then, Otto watched as he continued to retreat with the sharply reduced number of people.

"Prepare!" Rurik had already lengthened his voice again, and when the well-trained crossbowman was about to pull the trigger, Otto roared, as if a bear roar cut through the silence of the forest.

"The mercenaries are withdrawing from the team! Don't shoot them!"

Rurik breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he didn't want to destroy his servant army. The mercenaries took the crossbow. Seeing this, the surviving warriors of the Salmon Lord tribe collapsed in Ross. in front of people. Their embarrassed appearance simply attracted many Ross warriors to spit or abuse them.

It can be said that now, a tough battle ended with the failure of the Russ coalition, of course, the Rus never thought so. It's just the Grey Squirrel tribe who feel like they've won the first battle.
