Rise of Rurik

The Rus blew the horn, and the dull sound had a horror from the sea.

Dressed in white shirts, they looked like a large group of gods of death. Under the scorching summer sun, the cold light of the sword and spear was extremely shining.

There was a large group of people lying by the lake, arrows stuck in their bodies, and the rain of arrows was like wheat ears waiting to be harvested, but the grass by the lake was soaked with blood.

The stone bullets and cast iron bullets smashed people's bones to pieces, and those who were hit did not die quickly. The Rus people who rushed to kill did not hesitate to make up a sword to give death, neatly and without dawdling.

The mission of the 1,000 people who landed here is very clear - to kill.

Since it is killing, they should pursue maximum efficiency. They are all incarnations of berserkers, and they just want to kill all the cowards who are escaping like logging.

The beachhead of the landing was easily occupied by the Russ army. During this period, there were arrows thrown by hunters from the Pine Needle Manor. Unfortunately, the bone cluster arrows fired by the low-pound wooden bow were only lightly stuck on the Russ skinned wooden shield. dialed.

The opponent's resistance inspired the strong fighting spirit of the Rus army. Two flag teams of a thousand soldiers were in full pursuit, and their leather boots stepped on the green crops of the oat field.

This is the reorganized flag team, which gathers the strongest fighters of the Rus army. They were very organized, and one centurion each carried an additional wooden-arm crossbow, a lightweight standard shooting weapon, just the right weapon for killing unarmored enemies.

The archer took the crossbow and stood up to shoot, and then he immediately stepped on the string and put the light arrow in his mouth into the arrow slot to shoot again.

They didn't have many shooting opportunities, just because the brothers with excellent physical fitness had already rushed to the end of the fleeing enemy with their steel swords high.

After all, rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry!

The zero-distance fight officially started. When the Russ whose minds were occupied by the killing heart faced the Pine Needle Manor army whose heads were occupied by the rebellious instinct, the battle was obviously terrifying and bloody.

The battle is out of order, and the Rus army has no time to build a shield wall at this special moment. Every soldier is fighting freely, but anyone who does not wear blue stripes and white robes will be killed!

Even if the opponent was in the end, the steel sword and the axe still slashed towards him with his hands covering his face.

The white robes of the Ross warriors were stained with thick blood, the helmets were also dyed red, and the blades were dripping blood.

They also started to suffer some insignificant damage,

The armored warriors also have large shields to protect themselves, and the opponents who escape to help the beasts and fights can hardly cause fatal injuries to the Ross warriors, but it is still possible to make some elbow scratches.

Some fighters are painted, but they don't know what pain is when they are full of adrenaline. Bleed out.

It was as if they existed to fight, to let the flower of life bloom on the battlefield to sacrifice themselves to Odin.

Outside Pine Needle Manor, a scuffle is raging.

Pity this group of Slavic warriors who lost the chance to escape and passively resisted. They were fighting with the Ros fanatics, but they were betrayed by their companions.

The main force of Vadim's assembled army is fleeing into the village at the fastest speed.

As the "Prince of Novgorod", the commander-in-chief of a huge army, he was personally trapped by his cronies and fled to the village first.

At this moment, Vadim saw that thousands of his female compatriots were actually standing on the winding streets of the farmhouse, especially the women of the manor who had learned that the Ross army had entered the bandit and that his side was fleeing. In the alley, he was holding a variety of weapons, even a wooden stick.

Vadim, who was once frightened by the terrifying arrows of the Rus people, saw that the women of his tribe wanted to participate in the defense battle, and his head was instantly awake.

"You all let me go! I can't be a coward!"

Sure enough, the companions let go.

Seeing the trembling and nervous expressions of the women who had gathered spontaneously, Vadim couldn't say anything. He didn't even have time to run back to the mansion and order his women to escape.

There is absolutely no escape! Although he didn't want the battle to look like this, today was indeed the time of life and death for Pine Needle Manor.

Although the Rus people have used force for decades, no elder has seen such a situation. The Rus people clearly want to level the manor and kill everything!

Aware of this, Vadim suddenly became bold, even though his boldness and cowardice were cheap.

He held the captured steel sword with wide eyes and roared at the fleeing people: "Don't run away! Stop for me, and aim at the enemy!"

He also ordered his cronies to do everything they could to hold the fugitives, and let the women quickly gather to the east of the manor.

I saw these pure Slavic women, who had long braids on their heads, and many people simply ripped their skirts in half, just to keep their clothes out of the way in the follow-up fight. Many women are holding wooden forks that fork grass balls, and even wooden sticks that are barely sharpened.

A lot of "spearheads" agreed to the outside world. It is quite ironic that the women of Pine Needle Manor became the last city wall to defend the manor, and actually became the supervising team.

Seeing that the women were so brave, and seeing that they had entered the village, the Slavic warriors of Pine Needle Manor calmed down in panic. They stopped and turned around. The swords, spears, and axes pointed to the east again, which was the direction of the landing of the Ross fleet.

Thousands of armed men and women are gathering, and even some young boys and girls are joining in.

They are pure Slavs. At this moment, they have completely achieved the battle of brothers and fathers and sons.

As the commander-in-chief, Vadim has no reason to retreat to the rear of the array.

People bowed their bodies spontaneously, and looked alertly at the brothers who were fighting with the Rus not far ahead.

It is a pity that those who fled slowly will all die, but they are great and paid the price of blood for the reorganization of the army of Pine Needle Manor to restore the morale.

Vadim stood in front of the battle and shouted loudly: "We have no way out! Behind us is the manor we live on! Either live or die! Fight with them to the last person!"

People began to shout, and the army was terrified. The ferocity of the Koros people was seen neatly by everyone. They were howling desperately, but no one took the lead in counterattacking.

Even if Vadim shouted loud and bold words, he recovered his mind and knew that he took the lead in charging like this, and he would have easily died in the chaos of the army and was hacked and killed by the Rus.

The Pine Needle Manor Army and their allies, men and women, gathered together, and they gathered 6,000 people in the eastern part of the manor! Even though they have killed nearly a thousand people.

Finally, the first 1,000 strong men of the Ross Army landed firmly to obliterate the initial resistance of the Pine Needle Manor Army at the cost of no death.

The death of Vadim's side has passed one thousand people. The armed men of Pine Needle Manor are horrified by the cruel loss. The elders and brothers died in front of them. Tears poured out of their eyes. , the desire for revenge has completely overwhelmed the fear. Where's their battle cry, it's clearly a cry of grief and indignation.

Arik and Hellafield dealt with a group of resistance, and they brought many subordinates to stand among the corpses and pant.

Even if both of them are able-bodied, paddling, running and attacking, and even fighting hard, this ancient battle required extremely high physical endurance of the warriors. Many Ross soldiers were panting, still carrying blood-drenched prisoners of war, put their shields on their chests, and spontaneously marched towards the enemy that had already formed an array.

But the captains of the two flags are no fools.

Arik roared hoarsely: "All stop and form! Wait for the follow-up troops!"

Hellafield made the same decision, but it was not easy to bring the chaos to a halt in a state of complete chaos.

The blood-stained blue feathers on the flag captain's helmet are an excellent symbol. The two gathered some of their subordinates to stand in the corpse pile and forcibly confronted the enemy arrayed not far away.

Those who rushed too forward gradually realized that the other brothers were all behind, and only then did they realize what decision the flag captain had made.

It was as if the rushing heavy truck driver slammed on the brakes hard, and the truck stopped despite the smoke and even the flames flying everywhere. The offensive momentum of the leading troops of the Ross Army was also forcibly braked in the same way, and the soldiers did not have some rationality until they really stopped.

The enemies rely on the manor to form a large defensive array. Even if they do not carry effective shields, their weapons and equipment are also simple.

Considering the strength of his own troops, he was so madly rushing with his brothers that many of them would be beaten to death by the enemy.

The bad experience of armed reconnaissance in Gotland made Arik fear, and in order to show his power first, he also ordered his subordinates to form a thin and long array.

He also didn't forget to go to Hellafield in person: "Brother, find my decision-making office and let your people form a wide formation."

"Okay! Brother Arik, your people have nothing to lose, right?"

"No loss!"

Hellafield gasped and laughed: "My situation is just as good. In my opinion, it's better for our brothers to continue to attack and kill them, and you and I can take the lead in finding the spoils."

"No. Brother, I have more combat experience than you. I see that the Slavs have united, and they will kill people if they charge recklessly. We will wait for the follow-up troops!"

Since Arik does not continue to attack, he should not recklessly die with a group of fighters from his hometown, and Hellafield also completely chose to confront him.

Just as the melee broke out on the shore, the vanguard of the Ross army chose to calmly confront and the Slavic army of Vadim regained its strength.

The boats dropped their broadsides, and men with heavy weapons began to arrive in the boats and row to the shore.

A batch of ship-borne torsion slingshots were unloaded, and all bull catapults were loaded first.

The firing flag and the Slavic flag were also waiting for the new ships to land, just as those paddling longboats that had landed on the beach were re-drawn to the big boats by the very limited number of sailors on board.

Rurik was standing on the side of the Avlora, and there was a melee on the shore. He hoped that his long-range firepower would be able to give further support, but if the slingshot continued to fire, he would definitely hurt his own people.

People eager to land gathered on the side of the boat, and as soon as a small boat was moored, there was a group of people clamoring to get on board.

The chaotic scene was unavoidable, and Rurik stomped his feet anxiously when he saw it, but it was a pity that even if he cursed and urged him, it would be meaningless.

The thirty longboats finally drifted back, and Rurik couldn't care less. With his sword, he grabbed the ropes and rowed to the longboats. After the people on this boat were almost off, everyone joined forces to paddle the beach again.

The water surface of more than 100 meters is not too far away. If the bottom of the lake is not deep, Rurik will order the army to directly wade and land.

It's also not far from this distance, and the chaos of the boat landing didn't last long.

Otoriurik and his son set foot on solid ground, and a group of heavy weapons and shooter flag teams landed one after another, and the last was an army of 800 people from the Slavic flag team in Medvedt, White Tree Manor.

There are corpses everywhere, the grass is stained with blood, the grass becomes muddy, and the air is filled with the fragrance of grass and the strange smell of rust.

Svetlana, who was once busy throwing arrows on the ship, is now dressed in crisp and capable attire. For example, she put on trousers and landed with her heavy steel-armed crossbow in the attitude of a young female warrior.

But she's not really a female warrior! When she saw a large number of dead corpses on the ground, the terrifying scene scared her to the ground, so she was worried about kneeling down, and she vomited while holding a crossbow, and finally her willpower controlled the embarrassment.

"Get up, sister." Carlotta grabbed Svetlana's clothes and pulled it up, and said: "Hurry up and charge the crossbow. Remember! You are a warrior, not a weak woman! Now it is you who kills the enemy. The only mission!"

Svetlana, she desperately wanted to prove herself in front of Rurik. She hung the hook of the winch on the bowstring and turned the winch with her eyes closed to charge the crossbow. Silently recite "dead bodies are all wood".

Many shooters were accumulating power, and they did not install arrows immediately after finishing their work, but were worried about accidental shooting.

Rurik completely ignored these dead people. He scanned the side and found that there was no one of his own, and he was very happy.

Standing on the battlefield again, the aging Otto felt that he was thirty years younger all of a sudden. He didn't care about his aging body, and held his patterned steel sword high, like a banner in the army, leading many soldiers to follow him.

Soon the gilt-edged banner of the Duke of Ross was flying beside Otto, and the bearer was none other than Rurik himself.

The flag-bearer naturally has a glorious meaning, Rurik's clothes are also conspicuous enough, and his flag is the most striking and beautiful.

The Russ army that landed was not just this flag. Many flags with blue stripes on a white background fluttered in the wind. The flags and flags were hunting and hunting with great momentum, which was also a threat to the enemy.

Without hesitation, he issued an order, and the entire landing team followed the flag and rushed to the vanguard that had already formed.

Arik and Hellafield did not enter the farm immediately, which was inconsistent with their previous orders, but his cousin Arik had been fighting for years, and he had learned some resourcefulness no matter how bad it was. meaningful.

The follow-up troops of the Ross army came in great numbers, and the soldiers of the vanguard were overjoyed.

look! Those spears are like moving woods, the warriors of the Slavic flag, the Avengers of Whitetree Manor, the Medved who can fight like the Rus.

The strength of the Slavic flag team is close to two standard flag teams of the Rus army. It is not necessary to maintain such a large formation. However, the soldiers saw that they were already very familiar with each other. Rurik did not order the splitting of this huge flag team. It can be used as the backbone of the Rus army in a decisive battle with the enemy's main force, just like the battle of Gotland.

Rurik and Otto quickly rushed to the front of the vanguard with a small group of cronies, and the two of them could clearly see the details of everything with their naked eyes.

"Are they just standing there waiting for us to attack?" Otto couldn't help but wonder.

Rurik wondered: "Did they hide something?"

"Rurik, you are the commander-in-chief. I don't think these guys can set any traps. Listen to me and you will order the attack. Don't worry, I will also oversee the battle."

Rurik looked sideways at his father. He admired the old soldier, and he was afraid that this battle was the last battle Otto could participate in in his life.

A Viking warrior may end his life by dying on the battlefield. It is impossible for Otto to have such a dramatic end. He should enjoy his old age, but today this old guy has lost the physical strength to continue fighting. After all, the brave warriors are aging, and all the old warriors are slowly withering.

The two armies were in a bizarre confrontation. The Ross army seized the opportunity to take advantage of the inexplicable stunnedness of the army of the Pine Needle Manor in Vadim, and quickly gathered the scattered army with a once-in-a-lifetime fighter. The troops also took the time to rest on the spot.

Both Arik and Hellafield came to ask how the battle would go on afterward.

Rurik pretended to be calm and summoned the most crucial officers.

He returned after making some formations, and it seemed that as long as he followed his arrangement, the formation of the army would be quiet and well-organized.

Still worried, he said firmly: "We want to repeat history, we want to repeat the battle on Gotland."

Sure enough, the Ross Army did just that, but this time the army had more troops and better weapons and equipment, and the Ross Army could absolutely achieve a better record.
