Rise of Rurik

Chapter 562 Arik and Ross Scout Binghai rushed to beat them

At the end of the Tavastian meeting, the women brought by the three Kewen chiefs, along with their children, were shared by many villages, and the few men were also completely absorbed.

Bakan, Holtai, and Ojedo actually lost their tribes, but they did not really become ordinary people, and they did not encounter any humiliation. The reason for this is that it is not a threat at all.

Displaced people are finally settled among the Tavastians.

The existence of these three people has formed a great symbol, that is, Chief Watkad has enough power, and through this power, he has been able to make dig people take the initiative to attach!

What leader doesn't want to flatter people? What's more, the three people obviously have a huge role in the north.

I heard what these three said that once winter came, the active Rus huddled in their old home west of the sea, and their camp on the river became defenseless.

Insert one sentence, [ \\mi\\mi\\reading\\app \\\\ ] is really good, it is worth installing it, even Android and Apple mobile phones support it!

Winter became a major opportunity for assault, and Watkad, who consciously got the opportunity, organized a real expedition in the first winter after the three leaders surrendered.

He made his brother Vatyara (strong feet) with as many as five hundred carefully selected warriors, so-called shrewd winter hunters, with his full metal armament to form an expeditionary force in Bakan, Hall Under the guidance of Tai and Ohdo, they launched a surprise attack on the Oulu River Basin.

It can be said that the three defeated leaders finally got the opportunity to counterattack. Didn't the Tavastians they saw also have iron spears, iron arrow clusters, and strong physiques?

They naturally believed that their defeat was due to their lack of strength and lack of preparation, and now it seems that the Tavastian warriors should be as fierce as the Rus. The Expeditionary Force has so many troops, and the Tavastians have more warriors. They naturally estimate that this force will sweep away the Rus people's forces and end the grievances with the Salmon Guys.

As for his tribe, it was meant to be destroyed.

The three led the surviving women and children of the tribe to flee, and they lived for revenge. As long as the big revenge was avenged, why not die?

Now, the Tavastiya Expeditionary Force is like a galloping arrow, heading north in the icy forest, targeting the mountain fort of the Salmon Lord Tribe.

They killed as many as 50 people (and more than 60 were injured in varying degrees), and finally won the victory under the fire and smoke tactics. They became the masters of the Oulu River Basin and seized a large amount of iron tools. They just watched the other Kowen people who were madly fleeing for their lives on the boundless sea ice on deer sleds. They just watched them leave.

The vast number of hunters of the expeditionary army have already obtained the spoils of their own iron tools, and immediately began to hunt in winter.

The mountain fort burned by the flames has changed beyond recognition, and many leathers that could have been taken away have also been turned to ashes in the fire.

The mountain fort of the Salmon Lord tribe basically lost its use value, and the Tavastians who had expedition to this point began to use the mountain fort left by the Grey Squirrel tribe.

In order to plunder the loot, they dug around the graves, and although nothing good was found, they were amazed by the astonishing number of highly decomposed corpses.

It was a massive pile of skeletons, and there was always a thick seal on them.

According to the three people who surrendered, these bones are probably the dead of their own tribe.

How many people died in battle? Are the Rus really evil enemies?

The commander Vatyala seized a peculiar elastic iron sword, and his soldiers pulled several strange corpses.

According to the defectors, these people who were stabbed by the spear were Russ.

The Rus people were killed just like that. Maybe they weren't strong at all. As for the huge amount of skeletons created, he didn't understand what kind of fierce battles had happened here, and he didn't want to worry about them.

Tavasthians are based on tradition,

The old mountain fort of the Grey Squirrel Tribe has been transformed into a camp that can be held for a long time. Of course, the old camp of the Salmon Lord has also been reused to a certain extent.

At the same time that Vatyara sent a messenger back with the good news, he also announced that this river area became the new territory of Tavastia.

Hunters hunted squirrels and ferrets, and the footsteps of exploration have reached the frozen coast.

Looking at the boundless sea of ​​ice, these hunters in the forest all opened their mouths and sighed at the wonder of the world.

They found that walking through the ice layer could lead to an island ahead, where there were already many wooden shacks.

Could it be that it was also the camp of the Kewen people?

There are bold arrows on the bows, and they touch them cautiously. After finding that the place was empty, it was only then that it was about to be occupied.

Isn't this a treasure that God has rewarded? The Corvins have fled and their entire camp has been taken by the new conquerors!

The Tavastians also found five strange ships parked on the shores of the frozen island, with upturned ends and a mast in the middle. The boat was fastened by ropes and covered with snow.

It seems that the Kovins fled for their lives, and their ships were thrown here.

Even though there are many lakes in the territory of the Tavastiya Tribal Alliance, the technology of this shipbuilding is really primitive. They can only cut down trees and chisel out canoes with axes, such as Viking longships are too difficult. This shipbuilding technology is really inferior to the southern neighbors of the Suomi. At least the latter can go to the Gulf of Finland to fish and meet the passing Ross fleet.

The days of the Conquistadors of Tavastia stabilized, and Vatyara enjoyed roasted squirrels, mink, and even bear meat.

More than 100 immigrants from their hometowns brought their families along and came along the road explored by the expeditioners on reindeer sleighs. The speed of their immigration also shocked the three defectors.

The Oulu River has become a living space for the Tavastians, and its expansion to the north seems unstoppable.

Immigrants came with all kinds of production tools, and they started life immediately upon arrival.

Vatara lay comfortably on the freshly peeled bear skin, her mouth full of gourmet grease, and her large rough hands pointed at the three Koven leaders who had surrendered.

"My eldest brother is the leader of the alliance, and I am the leader of this flood (Oulu) river. This is your home, and I am your master. The old place of Kowen is now the northern frontier of our Tavastians. ."

Awkward? have no choice? Embarrassed?

Bakan, Holtai, and Ojedo, these three have become loneliness, a tragic bare commander, a pitiful creature who has no real power or even a name, but at least they survived.

The three of them flattered and congratulated the old thing Vat Yarra for its successful conquest.

They are willing to be loyal servants, and the complimented Wattara laughs.

"The three of you are very smart. As my loyal subordinates, I will naturally give you rewards. I can find three women from my subordinates. We are all men, and men will not embarrass men."

Hearing that, the three of them all knelt down and danced to praise the wiseness of the leader of the expedition, Vatyara.

But is this really a wise man?

Could it be that the "hero" of the expedition really felt that after the Kewen people escaped, the Rus people behind him gave up here?

Of course he knew that the Russ had a high probability of retaliation, but immersed in the first real victory in his life, Vatyaara even felt that his achievements might be higher than his elder brother Vatkad.

After all, the eldest brother is the eldest brother, and he is older than himself. In case the eldest brother suddenly died of illness, he would have enough strength to fight for the status of the leader of the alliance.

Then let the Russ rush over! The brothers waited for work, seized Ross' iron weapons, made military exploits, and gained new chips for future positions.

However, something extraordinary happened!

The small island at the mouth of the Oulu River that can only be reached through the sea of ​​ice is Hailuoto Island.

The island has a natural bay that looks like the mouth of a river, which is a unique place for boats to berth. It's in this tiny bay where Ross fishermen naturally build a summer camp. It is entirely because the winter climate here is too harsh that no fishermen have settled for a long time. A small number of boats are thrown here, and when the weather cools and the fishermen catch enough migratory salmon on the spot, they happily return to Roseburg across the sea for the winter.

Since the Rus conquered the Oulu River Basin, fishermen have begun to divide up the fishery resources here, but no one thought that the Tavastians, who were only known by their name, would become strong competitors.

Maybe, those guys are really strong, right?

Do not!

In Arik's view, the strongest enemy was the Danes. But the feat of his younger brother Rurik fully demonstrates that the current Duchy of Rus can beat Denmark like stomping on an ant.

Arik has been sent out to do some dangerous work over the years, and it's not the first time he's been a scout, and he really enjoys it.

He is naturally adventurous, and likes to engage with unknown enemies. He has performed such tasks many times, and his mind has become more and more flexible than a ferret sneaking in the snow.

right! Ferrets! Since the world is white, fifty warriors should dress up like ferrets.

It took them some time to prepare, this time they put on white cloth cloaks, and then rode six reindeer sleighs across the ice sea.

How can I get lost in the vast sea of ​​ice? Just because many of these selected people are fishermen, they like to go fishing in the waters near the Oulu River in summer, and then repair their boat screens in summer camps. They are by no means purely armed reconnaissance, but also the task of restoring the summer camp.

These fifty people all carried crossbows, including the powerful but rather heavy steel-armed crossbow, and the very light and small-power short wooden bow converted into a wooden-armed crossbow.

They also carried shields, short spears, steel swords, and a few carried slings.

After a day of running on the ice, they climbed over the bulge of the mid-bay ridge and spent the night on the ice.

People are eating pre-made oatmeal, and even the reindeer are munching on oatmeal.

In terms of logistics, Arik's reconnaissance team has absolutely nothing to worry about.

The flames were throbbing, and he shouted to his brothers: "I reckon the thugs have taken over the river. We set up camp when we arrived at the summer camp, leaving some brothers to guard the camp, while others infiltrated the mountains near the glacier."

Someone shouted casually: "In case of encounter with the enemy, should we wait and see, or pursue and kill?"

"Kill of course!" Arik didn't even want to decide on this strategy.

Someone else mentioned: "But the Duke asked us to report the enemy's intelligence. If there is a real war, the number of brothers is too small."

"What's there to worry about? Is the crossbow in your hands a firewood? Some of you followed me through Gotland. We've all experienced the most dangerous things, and who else is worried about a group of bickers? How strong is the literati guy?"

Arik said this, and many young warriors who really killed the Quartet on Gotland deeply agreed.

He added: "Just as I planned! We are all covered in white cloth, and we can hide in the snowdrifts. We quietly approach the exposed enemy and shoot with the crossbow, like shooting a wild deer or a bear."

The plan has been made, and the first task is to arrive at the summer camp smoothly.

Of course, Arik is no longer a full-blown brat. He also had horrific scars on his arms, the result of underestimating the enemy in Gotland.

Afraid that he would stab the hornet's nest with his limited strength, he kept his brothers on alert, tacitly arriving at the summer camp and fighting the enemy.

They ran wild on the ice for more than two days. It was a sunny afternoon, and the Ross scout on the sleigh saw the frozen coast in the distance, and even the island.

The island is unnamed, and people call it "Summer Camp on the East Side."

They have already seen the grass hut left by their own people on the island, and they are also very alert to spy on the curling green smoke.

"Not good! There are enemies!" Someone on the sled was startled.

Arik raised his head, his entire face instantly twisted into cracked earth.

He bared his teeth and said fiercely: "It seems that the enemy has occupied our camp. Brothers, prepare to fight, we will kill them all!"

People are going crazy after a long journey. Suddenly there is an opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. Who wants to be left behind by the guys?

Besides, look at this sunny weather, the great sun of Odin's incarnation is in the sky, and the eyes of God are watching the heroes who are fighting.

What warrior doesn't want to show bravery in the presence of God?

There are more than 20 Tavastians on Hailuoto Island at the moment. They first discovered the strange camp and wonderful ships here, and now the camp is used as an outpost.

Vatyara was arrogant enough to ignore the possibility of a Russ attack, so he left such an eyeliner.

But for this group of people who saw the vast sea of ​​ice for the first time, their awe from the beginning has now turned into boredom.

These twenty people live in summer camps left by the Rus. They like to stay warm in the shed, or burn firewood to roast squirrel meat, and even bear meat and wolf meat.

Compared with the Kewen people, this group of Tavastians has stronger hunting ability. In addition to being good at archery, they also dare to gather to hunt black bears.

Now the Russ are here!

Arik and his pals landed, and the reindeer sleigh was parked on the frozen coast.

"Brothers come with me."

"The arrows are all wound, everyone spreads out, and we surround the camp."

"Remember, the wooden crossbowman, after shooting the arrow, immediately wind it up and then shoot. The steel crossbowman, after shooting the arrow, throw it away, draw the sword and kill me!"

Hailuoto Island is not a small island. Arik and his group landed on the north side of the island, which is only three kilometers away from the summer camp.

This distance may seem far, but it is not.

The Russ climbed the snow hill with a crossbow, and sure enough, they saw someone moving.

They all fell down and hid themselves with white cloth cloaks.

Not long after, Arik squinted to observe, and determined that there were not many figures shaking, so he simply made a rapid surprise attack.

He stood up and called on his brothers: "Get up. Rush with me! Kill them all."

The Rus people were moved by the raid, no one shouted any slogans, but naturally formed a relatively wide skirmish line and rushed towards the camp.

When the Tavastia garrison found the attacker covered in white, they thought it was a monster popping out of the snow.

Do not! Suddenly, Snow actually spoke.

When the two sides got close enough, the Rus began to spontaneously viking battle cries, accompanied by furious arrows.

The Tavastians were caught off guard, and they tried to fight back with bows and arrows, but it was no use.

Arrows whizzed past Arik's ears, but he didn't even pay attention to the battle experience.

Relying on advanced weapons and superior troops, the Rus, who had superior troops, quickly rushed to the summer camp.

The warrior who threw the crossbow began to slash with his sword, and the Tavastian who had been beaten suddenly found that he had lost even the chance to fight back.

Only one person hurriedly sat in a reindeer sleigh, trying to run back to the river area to tip off the boss.

Very helpless, this unfortunate became the target of public criticism.

Together with the reindeer pulling the sleigh, he was also shot dead by several arrows, and the man was hit by three heavy crossbow arrows in his back.

The Rus did not have a single casualty.

The brothers, panting with laughter, began to examine the corpse's wooden bows and scattered arrows.

Someone took the captured arrow and showed it to Arik with a contemptuous attitude: "Boss, this is their arrow? Look at this cluster of arrows that are all rusted and so small, like a small iron nail."

Another person came with an arrow: "Look, there are also clusters of bone arrows here. I checked the corpse, no one was wearing armor, and the corpse was much shorter than us. It seems that these enemies are all armorless. We have many brothers. People are still wearing chain mail reinforced with thin iron sheets, and they are really over-prepared."

Arik looked at the arrow brought by his subordinates, and broke it with contempt, and looked at the glacier: "We won this battle too easily. From my point of view, that Kaihas is exaggerating, we actually used to deal with the Danish warriors. attitude towards these guys."

"Boss, what should we do? Rush into the glacier now?"

Arik shook his head: "Let's spend the night first, we'll eat and move on tomorrow. Listen!" He called everyone around and ordered: "Leave twenty brothers to guard the camp, and the other thirty followed me into the woods. We Go hunting!"

Hunting? Why hunt? Are you hunting bears?

Arik gave a simple explanation, and the brothers were all happy. He, indeed, regarded attacking the Tavastiya invaders as hunting beasts. Naturally, he had to form a hunter group, that is, he had to stare at the lone enemy to fight more and less, and explore and kill all the way.
