Rise of Rurik

Chapter 569 Wattara would rather die in battle

Tavastia collapsed! Everything is simply history repeating itself!

Rurik recalled the "Battle of the Glacier" in the past. The enemy at that time became a soldier of his own army. The new enemy looked stronger, and now he is being chased and beaten like a lost dog.

The blood of the Rus people was aroused, and Aric charged forward with a shield and two swords roaring forward.

The originally meticulous formation has become extremely loose, and each warrior is as enthusiastic as attending a wedding, and regards hacking and slashing as a holiday celebration.

Take prisoners?

The duke said that the enemy who invaded the territory and slaughtered his servants should be killed as much as possible. Only by letting the enemy feel the most sincere terror can we prevent future troubles.

The injured enemy, Arik, was not spared. He chopped off the injured head, drenched the bloody thing, and roared like a polar bear.

It was here that Rurik experienced the real war many years ago.

The innocent soul was gone, and he gave up all his fantasies in that battle, and his whole heart became wild.

In this wild world, wildness is the key to survival.

Yevro and his brothers are responsible for the safety of the Duke.

Watching his soldiers counterattack and kill in a mess, how could this bloodthirsty feast be without his most elite men.

"Yevlo!" Rurik shouted from the center of the army.

"grown ups?!"

"Bring a hundred brothers to hunt for me. Cut off the heads of the enemy's corpses."

"Ah? What does this mean?"

"Come on!" Rurik pinched his waist, "bring back a head and reward you with a silver coin."

For the average mercenary, a silver coin is still a huge sum of money today. They followed Rurik, not only covering food, clothing, and housing, but the extra income was at least ten silver coins per month.

The loyalty of these people comes from income, as well as the social status conferred by the Duke of Ross.

In order to prove that they are the Duke's "mighty sword", they followed Yevro and began to chop down the heads of their enemies everywhere.

A terrible scene is taking place in the Rus camp!

Those hideous heads are being arranged into a matrix, one is to show the illustrious military exploits of the crusade, and the other is to facilitate the statistics of the results.

The boys and girls who went out with the army also included John Invall, who was forced to follow everyone to shoot arrows at the sky.

They have experienced battle formations, and this terrifying scene of goodbye is indispensable for their hearts beating wildly.

Fisk, Kanuf and the others remained extremely calm, but Tyravis, a young man from Cowen, rarely kicked his head at will, and cursed.

The kid was cursing the Tavastian, and Rurik was too lazy to stop him.

He glanced sideways as Carlotta and her girls all shunned.

"Alas, unless absolutely necessary, women should not appear on the battlefield."

After all, there is a limit to the pursuit. Although the counterattack army does not have the concept of chasing after the poor, it seems that there are fewer and fewer brothers chasing, so everyone slows down and returns to the same path.

Can I get any loot from the crusade against the Tavastians?

It is impossible to seize grain and cured meat, perhaps hitting an occupied fortress can seize a large amount of leather.

The enemy left behind a large number of iron and bronze weapons, which are also very valuable.

The Russ and Balmers came back with the weapons they picked up one after another. The useful axes and spearheads were theirs, and the ones that were not used were thrown in front of Rurik. They all knew that these things could be returned.

A large number of arrows were recovered, and the Rus also seized many enemy arrows.

There was a morning of tossing around before and after the war, and it was only in the afternoon that people came back one after another.

Most of the people didn't have a rest last night. Once people sat down after the overdrafted battle, they quickly felt very tired.

Many people simply lay down and slept contentedly, regardless of the headless corpses everywhere and the very few war dead on their own side.

Even if the Rus' defenses are doing well,

The morning fog still weakened the advantage of the bow and arrow of the Rus people.

Having said that, Tavastia forest hunters, indeed, only throwing javelins and arrows at close range can cause substantial damage to the Rus.

Eleven Ruth warriors were killed, unsurprisingly, by enemy javelins.

More than 50 people suffered internal injuries, almost all of which were swollen and bruised on their arms and shoulders. The combination of leather and chainmail gave the Rus a great defense, not enough for these internally injured people, and the next battle should not be fought on the front line.

In addition to the dead in Balmerk, the crusade army only killed more than 30 people and injured nearly 100 people.

Most of the injured were not seriously injured, and they all threatened to seize the opportunity to kill a few more enemies.

Looking at the enemy's losses, everything is incomparably concrete.

The enemy's heads are arranged in a matrix, every hundred are arranged in a square, there are actually five such squares, and there are twenty more.

Captured five hundred and twenty enemy heads?

This is not the case, because some enemies in the chaotic battle have their heads cut off by an axe, and the terrifying scene makes Yevlo vomit unconsciously, so why not pick up such a thing.

The enemy who really died in front of the battle was far less than the one who was chased and killed.

History has indeed repeated itself again, and the pursuit of the fleeing enemy has once again achieved great results.

The raven appeared out of nowhere, and Arik, covered in blood, walked into the tent and approached his brother with a smile.

"Rurik, the raven is circling. Odin sees our great battle, and God is very pleased."

But there was no obvious joy on Rurik's face. He was very surprised when he saw the head of the film.

"Today's battle is over."

"Yes. It seems that you are a little unhappy? Sigh." Arik sat down again, "It's just that the enemy has not been wiped out, and the battle will continue." It was like a complaint, but Arik's smile did not disappear.

"The facts are very different from the information we have. They didn't send out too many troops. Maybe we attacked the enemy's fortress and met some serious resistance."

"So what?" Arik patted his chest. "I'm the best at attacking forts."

"Now that you know, you should know what to do."

Rurik seems to be telling a riddle? actually not. Arik nodded in satisfaction, already guessing what my brother wanted to say.

Because of the inevitable old Grey Squirrel Hill Fort, this is the second time the Rus army has launched an attack on it. It has learned from the experience and lessons of previous battles. Many people in the team who have experienced the war know too well how to prepare.

The two brothers negotiated first, and then Rurik convened a new meeting of many elites.

Although tired, people's faces were filled with joy of victory. It was this blue-striped white robe that was stained with the blood of the enemy, which complicated their image.

In a trance, Rurik suddenly felt: "It seems that red, white and blue are indeed the colors that the Rus people should have."

The battle is just over, although the majority of the soldiers do not care too much about lying down and sleeping, the battlefield still needs to be cleaned.

Until the next day, the Rus army really began to clean the battlefield.

The Oulu River was still turbulent, and a large number of headless and gray corpses were thrown into the river.

Floods caused by melting ice and snow will wash hundreds of corpses into the sea and eventually disappear without a trace. Of course, before abandoning, all the useful things he carried have been cleaned up.

A large number of iron tools were piled up together, and the enemy's heads were also piled up into hills.

Rurik really built a Beijing temple for the enemy, and let all the brothers who participated in the war crowded and watched the great achievements they created with their own hands.

They temporarily forgot about the brothers who died in battle, and they judged the head of the enemy and praised each other as berserkers.

A large number of warriors praised their master Rurik as a real warrior, more courageous than his father, and his methods were quite fierce.

No one criticized the so-called ferocity at all. When they learned that these heads had very strange uses, they all held up their swords and axes and shouted excitedly.

The heads of a group of enemies were buried on the spot to form a large mound, and more than 200 of them were still hung on the waist by the soldiers of the Rus army.

Didn't the Qin soldiers also have one or two enemy heads hanging on their belts and still screaming for a charge? The Qin army is the division of tigers and wolves, and Rurik seems to have surpassed his subordinates.

The Tavastians were devastated, and this group of invaders eventually destroyed the burial grounds of the Rus and the original inhabitants of the Kovins.

Due to the urgency of the war, there was no time to burn the bodies of the dead brothers on the spot, and there was also a lack of vehicles to transport them back to the estuary. As for the final sea burial in water, everyone was not happy psychologically.

Ross and Balmerk soldiers who died in battle were buried, each of the dead had a cemetery, and a sword was inserted into each tomb, and everyone agreed not to draw swords.

The army rested for a whole day. Although the battle was urgent, Rurik did not have the luxury of appearing under the wooden walls of the old Grey Squirrel Hill Fort in an instant.

The enemy who survived will spread the terror, just take a moment to wait for the situation to ferment, when the Roth people are vigorous, the enemy is afraid that it will collapse and fail completely.

The development of events was basically in line with Rurik's expectations.

The commander of the Tawastian Army, Vate Yala, was originally determined to win. He clutched the burning wound on his face and ran away. In his rush, he could no longer control the lives of his brothers.

How many people escaped back to the mountain fort?

At least this old fellow who suffered a big loss, Vatyara, returned to the old Grey Squirrel Hill Fort in the next morning coughing up blood.

After a short while, warriors who were exhausted and frightened began to return one after another.

Many people lost their weapons and shoes on the way to escape, and fell down suddenly when they came back.

By noon, more than 200 soldiers were already sitting in the mountain fort, some were shivering, and some simply fell asleep.

It wasn't until evening that the comatose Vat Yarra woke up and began to count his warriors again.

It doesn't matter if you count them. Including those left behind, there are only about 500 men who can hold weapons in the entire army. As for whether they can fight well, seeing their twinkling eyes is like re-declaring that they are frightened by the battle.

Vatyara had never seen such a battle before, and she clearly had the upper hand. How could the enemy's human wall be like a rock that couldn't break through at all, and was finally killed by the enemy.

There must be an explanation for defeat! Soldiers with fear, grief, anger, boredom, and a variety of emotions and people from their hometowns who have just immigrated here, everyone needs someone to stand up and explain this defeat!

Fighting a losing battle and committing suicide to make it clear?

Vateara didn't want to commit suicide to apologize, and besides the huge shame of defeat and such a terrible loss, if you really want to die, it will also be killed by the enemy's sword. He didn't dare to say that he was afraid, let alone any words of retreat.

Someone must be in charge, and who is in charge?

The five people who had their ears cut off were pulled out and tied up again with twine around their mouths.

With an axe in his own hands, Watyala stood on a rammed earth tower and shouted to the assembled nearly 500 soldiers: "It's these five guys who lied about the military situation! The number of enemies is large, and we made the wrong choice. They Five people, must die!"

It was too late to speak, but Vatara took the axe with her own hands and chopped off the necks of all five of them.

The bloody corpse money, he held the bloody axe and roared again: "I will not leave! I would rather die here! It is the people we love in Tawast who occupied this lake and swamp territory, we are The master here! Those Rus came across the sea to take our treasure, I decided to fight to the death! You must also fight for Tavastia!"

With that being said, people who thought that the Rus people were weak with bows and arrows in melee combat have understood the naivety of their thinking. Isn't bloody battle with that kind of enemy a vain death?

But looking at no one who was executed, no one dared to face any doubts mentioned by Vatyaara at this moment.

Anticipating that someone would back down, Vateara continued to shout: "Whoever dares to run away is a betrayal of Tavastia. If he is caught, he will be flayed, and his wife and children will be burned to death as a punishment."

He played "the tyrant of the North," but he wasn't stupid enough to let a group of immigrant women and children be ravaged by war.

The migrants who had just arrived were ordered to leave most of their supplies and go home immediately. There were also two fighters who had good legs and were admitted to be loyal to the tribal alliance. They wanted to run back to the southern alliance-controlled area as soon as possible, telling them Terrible war in the north of all.

Vatyala, he felt that the severity of the war had gone far beyond the war with the Karelians. Those Karelians are not as vicious as the Rus, and the Rus just want to exterminate their opponents! If the Rus finally occupied this area, who can guarantee that they will not attack the whole of Tavastia in the next step?

Who can guarantee that the Rus are hungry wolves that can be fed? It's amazing that they can be fed!

Such analysis was also handed over to the messenger, and he believed that his eldest brother, the leader of the alliance, would continue to send reinforcements. Before the arrival of the reinforcements, Vat Yala decided to stick to the mountain fort, but the fish and animal meat in the existing reserves could not meet the consumption of the five hundred warriors for ten days. So, all the reindeer pulling the sleigh were left behind and killed immediately, and the Tavastians decided to feed their hunger.

Relying on limited food and fresh water, is it possible to continue fighting against the Rus who threatened to attack the mountain fort? Wouldn't the mountain fort become a terrible coffin?

Even a coffin is favored by the world outside the wooden wall. This Tavastian army has been defeated by the Ross army after this battle, and can only rely on the wall of the mountain fortress for defense.

The situation can be described as extremely passive, and the most rational choice is to give up this mountain fort, and all the Tavastians retreat to their hometown. But they want to spit out what they have eaten, even though they are afraid, they don't want to do it.

They are all silt wrapped by the torrent of the times, and they all have their own pursuits and persistence.

Even if the defensive conditions were not good, Wattara did not dare to retreat.

Now, the only thing that can comfort the nearly 500 Tavastian warriors who are still holding on is this circular and reinforced wooden wall.

Surrounded by walls, they feel a little reassured by their constant self-persuasion.

But how useful is this?

Arik and his brothers attacked and used thin branches to match the inherent shield to make a large anti-arrow shield that needed to be carried by two people. Someone else polished the axe and prepared to chop down a large tree as a battering ram when the soldiers approached the city.

The Russ replenished the stone bullets on the spot, and also seized a lot of arrows from the enemy.

The crusade army started again, and the sword was invincible.
