Rise of Rurik

"The Rise of Rurik ()"

what happened? The ragged Gotland warriors who escaped are gone, how come there is a new group of enemies in neat rows? How come many of them are Raven Shields?

At this moment, the Ross army, which was marching on the enemy's corpse, realized that the opponent had retained the reserve!

Raven-patterned shields are not unusual, they belong to Danish mercenaries!

The captured Danish Grund told a lot of information about Danish mercenaries in order to save his life.

Although everyone came to Gotland to earn money as mercenaries, they were also warriors at heart. In the distance, everyone needs to worship Odin for spiritual comfort, so some people use their own shields to paint the totem coat of arms of their hometown tribes, or directly paint a raven, so-called loyalty to Odin.

They are completely different from the Gotlanders. Although they try not to die in battle and continue to enjoy life, they are really in danger and they would rather die in battle. With a vigorous death, he got the qualification to enter Valhalla.

The Rus soldiers, who thought that the war would become one-sided slaughter by the Rus army, were panicked for a moment. With their intuition, they had a premonition that the enemy had strength that should not be underestimated.

The Danish mercenaries roared. Although they were hired by various merchants, at least the money became a foreign object at this moment. This time they entered the war in the name of Odin, spontaneously formed a whole, and began a brave attack.

Arik gritted his teeth, he hated the pain in his left arm and couldn't use his full force to kill. At this moment, he even felt a sense of fear, because his soldiers were quite tired after fighting for a while, and he didn't expect the enemy to keep such a huge reserve team.

"Brothers! Hold me up! Even if you die, you have to stand still like a pine tree! You can't take a step back!"

Harrodsen also issued an order similar to that of Arik, and the Rus who maintained their marching posture stopped as a whole.

Rurik, who was in the rear and ordered the shooter flag team to continue to project, saw that the army had stopped advancing and was vigilantly aware that something major had happened on the front line.

The Danish mercenaries held up their thick oak shields to resist the arrows, and some fell to the ground with arrows, and the team was still advancing.

Finally, the two armies collided together, and the Danish mercenary army, which had preserved enough physical strength, just collided with the two Ross warrior flag teams to retreat.

Thirty Rus soldiers were killed by the axe that fell from the sky in a sudden collision.

What's even more crazy is that some Danish mercenaries were clearly stabbed by the Slavs' spearmen, so they threw their swords and shields, and vomited blood to keep the opponent's spearhead and win the attack for their brothers.

The energetic Danish mercenaries caused some parts of the Ross army to break the defense, which then led to chaos.

After some soldiers were killed, the Rus army finally had a solid line.

Arik staggered back to the rear of the front line, and shouted at his uncle and the commander Rurik with a bloody sword: "The Gotlanders have kept a reserve team! There are many Danes with raven shields! Brothers may not be able to stand it!"

"Why are you here!" Otto was furious, he picked up his leg and kicked Aric to the ground, then yelled, "Go back to me! Your brother is dying, stand up to the enemy for me !"

Arik knew that he was wrong, and hurriedly stood up and pointed at the berserkers wearing silver-scale breastplates: "Rurik, now, let the berserkers come on!"

"Then go!" Rurik pointed at the mercenary captain Yevluo with his sword again: "Bring all the mercenaries to the front to kill the enemy! Don't form a formation! We don't want to kill them all! I don't want to take prisoners!"

After speaking, Rurik threw the dagger over, and the meaning could not be more clear.

At this moment, Yevro built the master's meaningful short sword, and promised extremely calmly: "If I die in battle, don't grieve for me. This is a glorious battle for the Rus! This is the final battle!"

Yevluo looked at the mercenary guys who were gearing up for their work, and the hundred fierce berserkers.

"Brothers, for Ross! Come with me!"

Yevro prides himself on being the hero of this incomprehensible Armageddon.

He rushed to the battlefield in a posture similar to that of a martyr.

Unexpectedly, an old guy holding a patterned steel sword took the lead.

"Dad! What are you doing?!" Rurik was shocked.

Otto's running pace seemed to tremble, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "This is our war! Russ, follow me to attack!"

Seeing this, Yevlo finally realized his position.

The long-time leader of the Rus, Otto, Duke of Rus, held high the patterned steel sword only owned by the leader of Rus, and launched a de facto final fatal assault.

Now it doesn't matter what the formation is, what the Ross people need is the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers.

The Ross warriors saw the madness of their old leader, and they cheered up again after they had retreated for a while. Especially the old warriors in the team and the young warriors who followed Otto Sorgon, they saw the young Otto in their memory, an Otto who competed for the position of leader more than ten years ago and defeated the invincible tribe of the tribe!

Now, the deep Otto has become the former Berserker again.

right! It's the Berserker!

The hundred iron men in heavy armor were dispatched! They were like giant wild boars running wild, and like giant polar bears that were indescribable, they directly knocked over the anxious front.

They were really invulnerable, covered in thick silver-plated iron, which would blind the eyes of Danish mercenaries under the scorching sun. What's even crazier is that the Danes found themselves slashing at their opponents with their swords, with the blades cracked or bent to the point of being unusable. Or chop with an axe, and the blade of the axe also curls, making the axe a hammer.

Wouldn't it be easier to turn it into a hammer weapon? On the contrary, it is meaningless to smash with a hammer, these iron men must be really covered in iron!

The heavy armor worn by this group of berserkers dispatched by Rurik was stronger and thicker than the armor of the Eastern Roman armored cavalry. As a human, this kind of iron man must choose a strong man with excellent endurance, even so, their "sustainability" is limited.

In the Iron-blooded Song Dynasty, although the Song army highly relied on the powerful bow and crossbow, some special heavy infantry, that is, soldiers covered in iron and heavy armor, specialized in hacking and killing in the chaotic army. This kind of warrior has almost no dead ends, and they are almost impossible to attack and destroy from the front.

The group of berserkers owned by Rurik had the same tactical purpose as those of the Song army who fought for special purposes.

The Danish mercenaries were shocked! They were shocked that there was no weapon to break their armor, but the opponent's weapon was extremely fierce.

Steel axes and steel swords kill Danish mercenaries mercilessly. Presumably carbon steel is flexible and hard, and the wrought iron chain mail that Danish mercenaries cherish very much is too soft.

"Ross Iron Man" is like a tank rushing into the enemy's line, and the terrifying crushing power they burst out was unexpected.

Some Ross warriors even complained that if these fierce people were released earlier, some brothers would not have died. Of course, everyone understands that there is a reason for Lord Rurik to eat and drink these people. They are too ferocious.

Check them out! He was invulnerable to bullets, and his sword and axe kept dripping with the blood of the enemy.

They stood like iron towers. The Danish mercenaries found that the weapons in their hands were so weak. The iron swords would bend when stabbed, and the blades would be broken when they slashed. The results of their attempts to attack ended in scrapping their weapons.

The rust gas of blood caused the Berserkers to be extremely excited, and inside the armor were pairs of blood-red eyes. They were already panting from the heavy armor and the hard work they fought.

They continued to advance, forming a wall like a meat grinder, slashing all enemies who were only themselves.

Of course, there are also "Iron Man" who fall into the opponent's plot, such as a knee injury and a fall, and the neck is pierced by a short spear. Their losses were only a few people, and the number of people who were cut down to the ground by them has reached the scale of a hundred people!

The Danish mercenaries, who boasted that they were generally well-equipped, should have been the trump cards of Gotland's army to turn the tide. They only knew how strong they were when they faced the secret troops of the Rus army.

Perhaps the greatest sorrow of a soldier is to use up his weapons and not be able to harm the enemy's half a hair.

Otto Ben thought about rushing to the front line of the battle in one breath, just like his young self, becoming a big star on the battlefield.

"If you die in battle, die in battle. The best leader of the Rus people has been born, and I will sacrifice this victory for Rus with my death..." Otto was immersed in the fierceness of the war, he was almost a martyr The attitude of trying to rush to the front line.

It is a pity that the battle situation cannot allow Duke Ross to become an unparalleled warrior.

Because the most brave iron men built a "killing wall", these guys are frantically grabbing the glory of killing the enemy, which is something that the elite mercenaries of the duke and even the duke himself cannot grab.

Yevro desperately wants to kill ten enemies and repay his kindness by drenching the sword temporarily rented by the master.

"Lord Duke! What shall we do? The berserkers are going to wipe out the enemy!" Yevro yelled at Otto, who was gnashing his teeth, as he stepped on the wriggling corpse.

"Then kill the injured enemy! You also pay attention, once the iron man dies, you will make up for me immediately!"

Under the special battle situation, Otto could only snatch the patterned steel sword made of his ancestral Damascus steel with both hands, looking for the dying enemy to assassinate him.

Whether it's a strong Gotland male soldier, a seemingly weak female soldier, or some obviously immature faces. They were all part of Gotland's army at this time, and all were badly wounded.

Otto didn't make fun of the enemy at all. He gave the knife indiscriminately. Yevlo took his brothers, and the Slavic spearmen followed closely. Everyone was doing this.

After relatively heavy losses to the Rus' flanks, the front finally stabilized. Arik and Harrozosen were struggling, their swords, spears and axes were swaying in confusion, and the shields turned into shields that no one could go any further.

Iron Man's violent slashing and slashing finally tore the front of the Danish mercenaries. Now, a group of silver-helmeted soldiers bathed in blood, with the horror of the underworld, appeared behind the Danish mercenaries. The army of ordinary Gotland islanders before.

The young warrior threw his axe in shock, and the female warrior screamed harshly.

It's a pity that the iron men will not be merciful because of the particularity of the enemy.

They charged up and slaughtered ruthlessly. Even if someone knelt down and begged for surrender, the battle axe would still cut them to death.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is in front of you!

Otto raised his aging and wise head, and what he saw with his deep eyes was not the panicked face of the enemy, but the inexhaustible glory.

"The enemy is about to collapse! Brothers! Rush through the gap! Don't show mercy! The enemy! Kill!"

After all, Otto simply threw his shield. With his sword in both hands, he rushed into the enemy line under the escort of as many as 150 elite mercenaries.

During the chaotic battle, Rurik personally led the archer flag team and still kept shooting arrows. He couldn't help his father to fight, so he had to continue to support the arrows until the soldiers fired the arrows they carried with them. .

Young warriors stood on the muddy battlefield, their boots covered in dark red mud, surrounded by fallen enemies. Boys and girls, everyone subconsciously gathered in a group. After the arrows were shot, they all grabbed the battle axes, for fear that the dead corpses around them would suddenly accumulate.

Rurik knew his little warriors were terrified, but most of them had grown up. On this day, they saw a huge number of 10,000 people, and they will not be timid when they participate in battles in the future.

"Let's stop and rest and let the others continue to fight!" Rurik issued an order to be vigilant in place. It is true that for those who are frantically pulling bows and archery with sore arms, since they can't go to the front to fight, don't block the soldiers in front.

There is no need for Rurik to participate in the current battle. After the archer flag team inserted the last arrow into the arrow slot of the crossbow, they all knelt down to prepare for any kind of sudden attack.

Looking at the main force of the Rus army, the army has begun to push back its strategy.

In the chaos of the army, Otto keenly saw some gorgeously dressed people.

"Yavlo!" Otto yelled.

"exist!"

"Look at those men who actually decorate themselves with leopard skin. That's the leader of the enemy. You rush over with your brother and chop off a few heads for me!"

"As ordered!"

Yevluo was full of laughter, recruiting more than 20 crazy people to charge. They didn't have time to mix with the Iron Man to kill the enemy, but to strike those gorgeous enemies with precision.

Ordinary Gotland warriors in average clothes, with a large number of people still shirtless? Their poverty attire naturally made the big businessmen stand out.

Meanwhile, the stunned businessmen were at a loss when faced with the rapid defeat of the Danish mercenaries.

More than one person yelled what to do with King Haken of Gotland, but unfortunately, the king had no decision at all with his head covered.

Harald kicked Haken's thigh, "Look! Their berserkers are coming, and soon we will be in danger."

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"You don't scream! You are the king! Now the brothers are dying in large numbers, what else can be done?"

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

Indeed, even the Danish mercenaries in the finale can't stop the Ross Army. Does Haken still have a second wave of reserves?

From the corner of Harald's eyes, he saw that some businessmen were quietly evacuating with their private soldiers.

Harald is the main battle, but now the morale of the army has collapsed, and the king himself patronizes meaningless screams, unable to make any decisions.

"Are you going to die here? You and your family are going to die, I'm going to evacuate!"

No, the king was indifferent, and Harald simply fled the battlefield with his own private soldiers. In particular, he ordered his daughter Asraki and the female warriors to evacuate.

Evacuate? Evacuate to where? The Gulf was blocked by the Ross fleet, and it would be difficult to escape at sea. They fled to the nearby woodlands, and in the end everyone died of starvation and thirst. But if they don't evacuate, the Rus people who have been surrounded must gather and annihilate them.

Seeing that some merchants led their troops to retreat, many Gotland warriors were also fleeing in the direction of Visby.

He dragged his daughter's arm and ran wildly, at one point exhausting his sons.

"Dad, what should we do? Go home?" Asraqi exclaimed.

"Yes! Go home. After we go back, we will continue to fight, at least to keep our home safe."

Is Visby turning into a battlefield? Every street and alley has become a place of fighting? Neither Asraqi nor his father could predict the future, and obviously they could no longer expect the Gotland army to win the decisive battle in the wilderness.

Five businessmen withdrew with a small group of private soldiers and family members, naturally including Harald and others.

I saw a group of brightly dressed businessmen run away!

The Gotland warriors, who were already frustrated and fearful, saw this scene, and the last bit of morale also collapsed.
