A small team of sleds raced across the ice, not to worry about their mere 140 men, high-spirited and well-equipped.

How much can the Karelian conquest get? Maybe there can be a lot of deer.

Telavis brought his more than 30 soldiers, and another 100 capable First Banner soldiers to help out. Although the troops were small, they were strong. Thanks to the previous combat experience, the soldiers sat on the sled talking and laughing, and they reached a wonderful consensus that they supported the brothers in Xiongji Town to fight the enemy, and everyone could not get anything of value.

At some point, the Rus' view of war became war for war's sake.

It is only natural to rescue the brother who was attacked, and it is natural to kill the attacker, and the desperate killing is to show Odin the power of a real man.

Shooting arrows, setting traps to hunt squirrels? Bear hunting is not a very great honor these days.

It's only "fun" to go on a killing spree on the battlefield.

On the other hand, the Karelian army that besieged the town of Bear Sacrifice turned into a full-scale siege after three failed charges in a row. Relying on the superiority of the number and the slow increase in the strength of the army, the big leader Cascove had no better way, and could only think of the fourth round of attack after the strength of the army increased.

The young and great chief who founded the emirate did not bring quick victories to the warriors who followed him, the sea of ​​bragging fell to nothing, and the war became a war of attrition that no one liked.

At least the Karelians can afford the land.

Reindeer are a kind of "moving farmland" from which the Karelians get their blood, meat, milk, leather and bones. The former is food and water, the latter is the source of clothing and weapons.

As many as 30,000 reindeer were driven to the area close to the town of Bear Festival, which is, after all, a traditional pasture for the Karelians. With the material support of these livestock, Kaskuwei has the capital to besiege the city.

Faced with a fortress with a ditch piled up with rammed earth and wood, the big leader was basically helpless and could only resort to the stupid method of sieging the city. As for when the siege would last, only God knew.

In order to prevent people in the fort from coming out to find something to eat, they built tents around the fort. Often a dozen people took turns to stand guard and watch for a booth, and a large number of Karelian soldiers were ambushed in the woods behind.

There's another big reason behind this group's fight - the bear altar.

Most of the soldiers have a serious lack of awareness of the regular army of the Principality of Ross. They only saw that the sacred sacrifice center was stolen by the enemy, and a fortress was built shamelessly.

More than 200 people were killed in the battle, and dozens more died after their injuries deteriorated.

Karelian warriors are mostly from clans, and now they are called to fight as fathers, sons and brothers. They saw the death of relatives and friends, and saw the sacred land being taken away, and the fire of vengeance burning in their hearts drove them to stay.

The Ka army was unable to seize the city, and the Nairo army in the fortress had no intention of going out of the city to fight.

When the eighth day of the battle began, the two sides reached a strange tacit understanding. The stand became quiet, no one took the initiative to attack, and even the Russians who had superior weapons did not bother to hit a light javelin with a torsion slingshot. Big eyes staring at small eyes, they are clearly waiting for a strategy.

On the tenth day of the battle, on the ice lake from the south, a flag with blue stripes on a white background was flying!

The Karelians with good eyesight were taken aback. Those standing guard felt that they were reinforcements from the Rus. They were extremely vigilant and immediately passed on the news.

The unrestricted waiting has been wearing down the authority of the big chief, and Cascuway got up from his hiding place with a slap of the thigh when he heard the news.

"Call on brothers, the invaders' reinforcements have arrived. We couldn't conquer their fortress, so we killed their reinforcements and sacrificed blood to the mountain god and the lake god!"

Almost all of the soldiers who were about to go crazy were dispatched, and the strange movements of the Karelian people also shocked the Rus army stationed at the fortress to the top of the city one after another.

The guards saw clearly the flags hung by the sleigh team. Everyone was very happy that the prince sent reinforcements, but it was a pity that there were only so many people?

On the other hand, the Karelians dressed as bears ran like they were going to a wedding.

The horn horn was blown, the cowhide drum was beaten violently, and the people at the head of the city shouted desperately, hoping that the sound would reach the small-scale reinforcements to help them raise their vigilance. Although the Rus people are contempt for the Karelian army, they are not arrogant enough to fight ten.

Not far ahead was the snow-capped lake, and a fortress appeared impressively. Telavis saw clearly the flags of Ross flying in the fortress, and also heard vague noises from afar. What did the sound mean, the information had been distorted by the cold wind plundering the ice.

There is one thing that makes the DNA of all warriors tremble!

Let’s talk about the first flag team. The brothers are about the same age. In the summer, everyone ploughs and grows wheat in Mstisk, and now they work together to hunt pine trees and hunt white bears in the north.

There are soldiers from the First Banner in the fortress of Bear Ritual, and even more in the reinforcements of Telavis.

One hundred soldiers belong to the same centurion, and its centurion is here. The centurion also subordinates four "fleet" of platoon-level combat units, and the commander is there. In fact, the group of them went to the Kaiki Salmi stronghold of the Vips and was led by the centurion, and they themselves constituted a fierce winter hunting army. They dropped a batch of the hunt at the settlement and then sent in reinforcements.

The centurion knew intuitively that those swaying figures were dangerous enemies.

"Attention brothers! All you see are enemies, prepare for battle!"

After receiving the order, the brothers on the sleigh roared in unison,

The shields they were carrying were removed one after another. This time, they did not wear chain mail because of hunting. They lost a certain defense power and also allowed everyone to gain a lighter combat power.

Looking at the seventeen-year-old Tyravis, this kid is naturally not the first time to participate in the battle, and he is afraid of facing an enemy that is several times his own.

He had to resort to the centurion's strategy of fighting, so that the centurion logically led the entire army.

A wonderful tactical plan was quickly drawn up and put into effect, all fifteen sleds suddenly stopped on the ice, and the soldiers began a tense manning.

They had five sled-mounted torsion slingshots for bear hunting, and as many as thirty people held wooden crossbows, and almost all of the rest had short wooden bows. Their identity is the hunter, even if the short wooden bow is not a very good combat weapon, at least the hunter is excellent. The special conditions contributed to the amazing amount of long-range weapons and equipment of this small-scale reinforcement, and the frozen Ladoga Lake and the reindeer sleigh provided everyone with amazing mobility.

The sleds became the launch platforms for the arrows. After the staffing was adjusted, the sleds began to rush towards the enemies gathered by the lake with the force of two columns.

The sleigh was rushing, and the commander, the centurion, calmly ordered: "Take a bow! Free throw! Use wheel tactics, don't get entangled with them!"

Before the arrows are fired, the reinforcements have full battlefield initiative. They fired arrows as they approached the formation where the enemy gathered, and then quickly retreated.

This is a special Parthian tactic, in which the archers never linger and do not give the enemy archers the opportunity to aim and shoot.

The arrows smashed, they were not dense and many arrows fell on the ice due to the wind direction, but some of the strong ones started to cause killing.

Torsion slingshot fires a light javelin for bear hunting. This object is a large arrow, it is longer and heavier, and the kinetic energy of the slingshot is strong. The light javelin hit the bewildered Karelian fighters, some were shot through the arms, and some were shot directly in the chest.

The sudden death was completely beyond the imagination of the Karelians.

At this moment, the big leader Cascove once again thought of the hateful arrows of the invaders during the war the previous year.

The first round of the attack came to an end, and the reindeer were out of breath. Looking at the Kajun, their men were still gathered, but they were clearly watching.

The two sides were shooting arrows at each other, and most of the arrows fell on the ice.

Immediately afterwards, the Ross people made some adjustments, and a new round of sprints began.

The crossbow and the torsion slingshot became the absolute protagonists. They were fired one after another at a very suitable combat speed position, and they gave the Cajun a heavy blow with the advantage of the range.

There were more than 20 soldiers of the Kazakh army either dead or wounded. In grief and anger, the soldiers who shot arrows in vain had to spontaneously pull their injured brothers away and retreat for the time being.

Everyone followed the instinct of seeking advantage and avoiding disadvantage, but the big leader Cascove couldn't bear such a shame. He thought of that sad rout again, and even thought that if he had fought with the enemy early, even if his weapons were at a disadvantage, he wouldn't end up with thousands of people dying and ripping away.

He took his cronies to persuade the fleeing people, and finally took the iron sword to make a beheading of the deserters.

He gave the order: "Rush up! Rush while shooting arrows, and fight them hand-to-hand!"

Either retreat into the woods to play insidious tactics, or actively pursue on the ice.

The Karelians did not want to be cowards anymore, they chose the former.

However, the Russ have lost their recklessness.

Stepping on specially made anti-skid leather boots, as many as 600 people of the Cajun army were ordered to hunt and kill on the ice. As they advanced, they shot arrows, and a large number of bone cluster arrows smashed over the sky.

The Russ finally ate some helmets, and people could use shields to block them. However, the reindeer was hit by the arrow and went berserk. Two sleds were out of control, and the reindeer was hurt by the arrow.

The centurion had an idea and led the rest of the sleds to gather up the people who fell, and temporarily retreated regardless of whether they were injured or not.

"A two-legged hunter can still run a sleigh? Joke! I'll kill you after I'm exhausted."

The centurion was betting that the Karelians would be chasing after him.

The Rus army retreated south on purpose, always staying at the edge of the enemy's wooden bow's range, dangling their appetite to lure the enemy deeper.

Finally, this kite flying tactic caught more than 200 people, killing and harvesting is now.

The reindeer were beaten frantically, and the aching deer continued to sprint despite the exhaustion of running, this time they rushed towards the crowd.

Many Rus warriors on the sleigh had unloaded their bows, and they carried swords and spears. The sleigh became a kind of chariot, and the centurion and Terravis made an agreement to annihilate this group of big fish that were caught.

It can be said that the war Rurik commanded in the past gave junior officers a large number of two books that they could learn, such as the pincer tactics that turned into annihilation. More importantly, Rurik offered a philosophy of war, which was to fight annihilation as much as possible.

It seems that the fleeing Ross intruder actually turned around, and it was too late for those who were chasing a little tired to escape.

The reindeer sleigh rushed forward with great force, and the Cajun soldiers instinctively avoided, but what awaited them were the sniping of the crossbow, as well as the thrusting of the spear and sword. Cajun soldiers approaching the sleigh were pierced by short spears or cut with swords. The sleigh team completed the outflanking on both sides, and staged the retreat for the Ka army to escape. Next, a Rus soldier wearing a huge iron helmet with a nose guard, carrying a round shield and a steel sword, had already got off the sleigh.

"Shield Wall! Now!" The centurion gave an order. Four well-trained "fleet", a hundred soldiers built four shield wall groups, and finally merged into one.

The shield wall was advancing rapidly, and the Kajun who was retreating in the stage attacked with all his strength, and the two sides fought together.

The steel sword is stabbing, and every stabbing is bloody. The Ross shield wall is like a meat grinder, and the enemies it encounters are killed one after another.

Telavis and his Veps warriors were not watching the show either. They held the main battle with bows, shot the enemy's rear reinforcements, and also shot arrows to disrupt the enemy's position in the encirclement.

Next, it's just the simple killing of men...

The debate was over soon, the corpses on the ice layer were lying on top of each other, and some of the wriggling people were still twitching, and they were supplemented by a sword from the Ross people. The ice layer was exuding enthusiasm, and it was actually the evaporation of warm blood water. The ice surface was covered in a large area, and the bloodthirsty warrior with his face and body red turned his head, and the Karelian army fled wildly.

The centurion was covered in the blood of the enemy. He wiped his blood-red face with his arm, and looked sharply at the brothers on the left and right: "Tell me, was anyone killed? Was anyone injured?"

They told each other that they were safe and sound, and some people shouted that so-and-so brother was injured internally.

"It's a shame for a warrior to be wounded by someone weaker than a bear!" He cursed inwardly, then looked at the restless brothers, "Let's go! Let's chase after the victory."

A mere 100 people actually broke down the offensive of 600 people, killing more than 200 people at the cost of no death.

The Karelians were terrified, and now Cascuvi was no longer able to hold back the fleeing brothers. The Cajun troops who were waiting and watching were all withdrawing, and this withdrawal became a great rout.

Cascuwei had no choice: "Let's retreat to the forest camp and organize a team to find a way!" He issued an order to retreat, but the army was fleeing.

Confidence collapsed and the team disbanded, and Cascove had to lose again in humiliation. Of course, he won't accept his fate, and he can summon more people, so there is still a chance of winning.

The Rus wanted to chase, but the reindeer were tossed so hard, they are animals with amazing endurance, but they lost their strength after a few short bursts.

Teravius ​​was very sorry, and stood on the sleigh and looked at the back of the runaways and roared: "You just run away! Idiots! You Karelians are so cowardly and only worthy of being slaves!"

At least Telavis could not have imagined that the Karelians, who were called by the Kovins in the past to be stronger than the Tavastians, were so inferior.

The reason is very simple, all because the Duchy of Ross is too powerful, and it is actually a full-level boss in the Baltic Sea who abuses vegetables in the Arctic Circle.

The other party fled very quickly, and it was a chance for more than a hundred brothers to pursue him.

The defenders of the Bear Ritual Fortress enjoyed a good battle with a good mood, which made their already good self-confidence even more confident. If everyone is worried that the strength of the Kazakh army is not far away, they will take the initiative to challenge the city, and the enemy's inferiority is vividly displayed. The guards now feel that they are all out of the city to fight the opponent, and they can even arrogantly declare: "You two thousand people were defeated by us four hundred people. People are surrounded."

The centurion and his close comrades were not overjoyed by the victory. They confiscated a batch of inferior arrows and hand-to-hand weapons. It is not surprising that the arrow clusters are bone fragments, but the spearheads are also bone fragments. The number of iron weapons Very few, which is too challenging the perception of the Rus.

Will Odin be satisfied to defeat an enemy of this level? They use animal bones and teeth as weapons, and bears and wild boars also use teeth as weapons. In a sense, the enemy is not a human being, but a beast. The first flag team, the most proud of the Ross Army, is actually performing a special event. hunting.

Look at the fort and the guards, it's hard to say...
