A battle ended with Ross's total victory, and Ross won so logically that the warriors shouted that they didn't get the honor of the battle.

After all, the existence of the brothers belongs to the reinforcements, and there are also brothers who belong to the first flag team in the fortress. The sleigh team entered the city leisurely, and was immediately warmly received by the guards.

When the centurion entered the fort, he joked to another centurion of the guardians: "I can't believe that you issued a war alert because of a siege by a group of weak people. You can completely destroy them by your own strength."

The guards were also speechless, because there was no real hand-to-hand combat, and everyone could not conclude that the enemy was surprisingly weak.

The guardian centurion did not make any comments, and immediately asked: "Where is the prince's reinforcements? You will never be the only reinforcements."

"Of course not. We don't know the prince's intentions. We are from Kiki Salmi. We learned the news from the fugitives you sent out when we were hunting. We came first when we were closest to you."

In this way, everyone has nothing to say. The guardians welcome the new brothers. After a while, the weapons collected on the battlefield, especially the various arrows, are bundled and transported into the fortress.

It was not until he entered the fort that Telavis knew what the capital of this group of warriors with a large number of troops actually had to guard the fort or not to go out to fight. They really had enough food and drinking water, and they could spend a month just to relax!

What's next? It is a fact that the Karelians have assembled a large army. They are obviously unwilling to withdraw after successive setbacks. They just hid in the woods further north, and may adopt more insidious tactics after learning their lessons.

The strength of the guards has increased, and everyone has reached a consensus: rushing into the forest to clear up, our army is likely to fall into a disadvantage, and we should wait until the real reinforcements of the prince arrive, and then clear and pay with the strength of the force.

Somehow, they had a tacit understanding. When the small-scale battle broke out, Rurik had completed the assembly of the army, and a very large sleigh team was advancing, and there were only five days left to reach the fortress of Xiongji Town.

However, Rurik had no idea that Xiongji Town had been rescued because of a small group of reinforcements.

It seems that the only thing left to do is clearing.

Unless, the Karelians decide to bet the fate of the entire nation and have a final battle with the Principality of Rus.

Coincidentally, either rebellious or just pure blood, when someone persuaded Cascuwei to retreat, he was severely reprimanded, and brandished his sword and threatened that those who dared to retreat would be executed.

The principle set by Cascowei is that we must fight to the end. He is unswervingly gathering his forces to pull all the men in the new camp over to fight with the Rus.

He couldn't think of any reasonable tactics at all. He only thought of waiting for more people to gather before launching a group charge. Even though the Russ have many advantages, once the battle turns into a real melee, the result will always be in their favor.

He led the people to actively take certain measures in the forest, so the forest began to shake, and a large number of small pine trees were cut down.

The Karelians can't be said to be completely one-sided, learning from the failure of hand-to-hand combat, they are making spears.

The felled pine tree leaves the top part of the tree, and the bark is cut off and the top is sharpened, and even a bone spear is tied.

Such a spear can be made very long, but because it is made for an assault, the toughness and rigidity of the wooden shaft are not excellent.

If it is really zero-distance fighting, the Kajun will naturally suffer a big loss. If thousands of spearheads are used to poke at a certain distance, the Rus people must suffer a big loss!

Such a tactic is promising in terms of thinking, but the Russ people don't understand this that Cascuwei has come to understand normally?

The Karelians have yet to encounter the main force of the Rus' army.

A very large team of sleds came in a mighty manner. Considering the possibility of encountering the enemy, Commander Rurik had ordered twenty sleds of the vanguard, loaded with torsion slingshots and ready to go.

The real reinforcements from the Principality of Rus arrived, and the 1,500 soldiers selected by Rurik were very surprised and inevitable to join forces with the 800 reinforcements from the New Rose Fort. Where is the army of 2,300 people reinforcing Xiongji Town? It is true that heroes from all walks of life regard this reinforcement as a kind of hunting spree. Rurik only had to look at the structure of the reinforcements organized by his brother to know that they were a large group of hunters, among which there were an astonishing number of black-haired Suomis, who ostensibly described that they wanted to avenge their ancestors against Karelia, but in fact they were To plunder the enemy's reindeer.

The Suomis, they have indeed maintained a hostile relationship with the Karelians for a long time, both revenge and plunder. It was Rurik who did not believe that they would meet the enemy's short-handed soldiers, except for the hand-axes, the snow-covered tents strapped with daggers, the short wooden bows, and the heavy clusters of steel arrows in leather quivers. They are very good archers, but the bows used are still too ordinary, no different from the enemy's bows, but they have a huge advantage in arrows.

Rus people, various Viking immigrants and Slavs, everyone's attitude is no longer revenge, and war has become pure plunder.

The siege that Rurik expected did not happen, and there were a lot of corpses and frozen blood lying on the ice. Obviously, there was a fierce battle here.

Then look at the bear sacrifice town fortress, where the Ross flag is flying.

Arik, who was wearing sunglasses, was bubbling with blood, looking at the frozen corpse and asking the prince's brother: "Rurik, it seems that the defenders can defeat the enemy without our reinforcements. Their alarms are too cautious."

Rurik now also thinks so, and he is dangerous enough to be wise enough, and deliberately warns: "Don't take it lightly, for fear that the Karelians will set up a trap."

"Trap? You're looking up at them again. If there's a trap, it's here. I'm here with hundreds of men of all kinds, but I'm here to eat the snow and blow the cold wind. If there's a battle, come quickly. I'll stand in the snow and let them attack, This saves me from finding them out myself."

Arik's words are full of domineering, and Rurik actually has similar thoughts.

The whole world seems to be very quiet, and the enemies don't seem to be hiding in the forest. Maybe they can escape with their tails tucked?

The army arrived under the castle of Elrond smoothly, the thick wooden door was opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and hundreds of defending soldiers walked out of the fort enthusiastically to meet the prince.

Looking at the faces of these people, who can imagine that they have experienced hard battles?

Hundreds of furry men with weapons lined up to greet the prince. Most of them were brothers of the first flag team, but they lacked formal uniforms to show their identity. They still looked like hunters, especially those in white bear fur coats. Ordinary people who are almost lying in the snow nest can't find it at a glance.

Behind Rurik was an eyeing army and more than a thousand gasping reindeer.

He arrogantly asked: "I heard from the people who retreated that the fort was besieged by thousands of people, and you have to stay and live with the fort. It sounds really tragic, I am afraid that all of you will die in the fastest way. Du came for reinforcements, what's going on? Where's the enemy?"

The situation became very embarrassing, and the two centurions present were explaining. The so-called enemy did attack again and again, and they were all defeated, and finally retreated to the northern woods to hide.

The First Banner Team consists of two centenarians, half of which miraculously became the defenders of Xiongji Town. They just came here to hunt and accidentally got involved in the war?

As the seemingly unexpected appearance of Terravis emerged from the crowd to report to Rurik, the truth gradually came to light.

The small fortress could not carry a large army of nearly 3,000 troops. The large army camped outside the city, and immediately buried the stove to cook wheat and eat hot meals. As for the settlement of the reindeer pulling the sleigh, they first fed a batch of oats and then grazing on the spot.

Xiongji Town was originally the gathering place for the army of the second round of crusades approved by Rurik. The relatively open area was suitable for gathering, and naturally it was also suitable as a battlefield.

In an instant, the town of Xiongji became extremely lively, and hundreds of flags sounded in the strong wind.

Rurik regarded this battle as a national battle. Most of the fighters of the Rus army wore uniforms. The white robes became excellent camouflage in the snow, and the blue lines on them were quite eye-catching.

The army that had just settled down still had to be vigilant. That night, in order to avoid possible sneak attacks by the enemy, the Ross army not only set up sleepless sentries, but also set up a large number of suspicious soldiers in the area centered on the fortress. There are five hundred stalls.

The starlight in the sky is devastated, and the nighttime visibility of the whole world is still acceptable, but the bonfire illuminates the glimpse transparently.

The Karelians have also assembled a crowd of three thousand, and their spies saw the situation in Xiongji Town from a distance, and hurriedly informed their chief of the news.

"The secret of the bonfire is like the stars in the sky? It's not true!" Cascouvi couldn't believe what the sentinel said.

He was completely sleepy, so he sneaked in the forest with a group of cronies, and when he saw the dense firelight from a distance, he couldn't help taking a deep breath.

Fear, anger, astonishment, mixed emotions flooded into my heart.

His subordinates are asking how to deal with the new enemy, hesitant defeatism has become a taboo, and his cronies are advocating the need to fight ruthlessly to the end.

Even so, Cascuway's personal belief that he must fight under the pressure of his cronies is a problem. Besides, his current strength is not an absolute advantage.

Of course he could have waited a little longer, just at that moment someone said, "They must have come a long way, they must be very tired and need a rest for two or three days to recover. If we can launch a raid , the advantage is mine."

What a wonderful trick!

Cascuwei found out the young man who spoke this rhetoric, and seeing that he was a brother of the same tribe, he happily named him a chief. He thought about it again. Since he was going to launch a fierce raid on Ross, he would definitely require all the soldiers to work hard. It was necessary to have a large-scale canonization before the war to boost morale.

He went back to the great Karelian camp, and spent the night summoning men who couldn't sleep at all.

Those in the team who are well-liked, burly enough, or come from big clans are all named chieftains by him, and the concept is equivalent to "the leader of a small tribe". Since they have this noble status, and the status is also bestowed by the greatest chief of the emirate, how can there be a reason for laziness?

Kaskuwei addressed them: "We attacked at dawn, and everyone marched lightly. We took advantage of their unsteady footing to overwhelm their camp, killing the enemy and taking away their iron weapons. This is a once-in-a-lifetime gift from the forest god to us. Opportunity, the opportunity to avenge the shame of all the dead clansmen, I will lead the charge, all of you follow me..."

The Karelian army actually has a lot of troops, and it is the first time that a large number of men who have not yet entered the battlefield have seen such a large number of clansmen, and even the Perm people from the more east have never seen such a large gathering of warriors. This is the strongest army in the concept of the Ka army. With its simple cognition, it is naturally invincible in the known world.

Excited emotions act on the mind, and even if there is sleepiness, it disappears without a trace.

The Karelian Army has no intention of waiting for reinforcements from the follow-up personnel. No one wants to give up the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They also began to advance at night, preparing to launch a dawn raid!

A large group of figures were lying in the snow or hiding in the forest to hide their existence. They waited quietly until the dark sky turned deep blue, and the people who were hiding stood up one after another.

Everything was speechless, and Cascuway started to move forward with his iron sword in hand.

The figure of the Great Chief was so unique that three thousand people followed his request and began to charge forward with as many as three thousand spears of different qualities and made by surprise.

They didn't make any extra noise, and the snow absorbed the noise to a great extent.

The Karelian raid had already begun, and the Rus had so far been unaware of the imminent danger.

But the sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the sentries who took turns standing guard had already carried the firewood first. While preparing the stewed vegetable soup for breakfast, some sentinels finally saw the abnormality in the distance.

The first sentinel rubbed his eyes vigorously to make sure he wasn't embarrassed.

Is the open field in the north a herd of reindeer moving? Again like a pack of bears.

Do not! That's human, a massive enemy! Looking at this posture, the enemy is clearly about to fight!

"Wake up! It's an enemy attack!" The terrified sentinel was like a blown-up cat. He first violently kicked the other sentinels sober, calling everyone to issue a battle alarm.

Anyone who sees the approaching crowd from afar realizes that something is wrong. Those holding bullhorns puff out their cheeks and blow the horns, and some people find the cowhide drums accompanying the army and beat them frantically.

When the awakened people heard the enemy's attack, they woke up with no breath left, and hurriedly put on leather armor and chain armor, put on white robes, and jumped out of the camp with weapons.

The Rus did the best they could, and a large number of soldiers woke up to prepare for the camp.

There was a big movement here, and from the position of the advancing Karelians, it was clear that their actions had been exposed.

Warchief Casquway had two choices before the fierce battle: fight or retreat.

The sneak attack strategy has lost its tactical advantage because of exposure, but he has no choice, just like an arrow that can't fly back.

He raised his sword and shouted, "Follow me, brave Karelian!"

He started shouting, leading the others to roar. They relied on shouting for strength, a roar that even snow could not absorb.

The roar caused even the embarrassed Ross warriors to be vigilant. Many people wiped it with the snow at their fingertips, and began to line up with swords and shields.

Seventy percent of the Slavic flag team participated in this battle. They had the experience of crusades against Karelia, and naturally they were not afraid of this group of attacking fanatics. They are also led by Medvedt, and the spearheads of the halberds will all move forward.

Thanks to the snow, it gave the charging crowd a certain obstacle and bought time for the Rus' army to gather and form a tactical formation.

Yet another traditional skill of the Rus' army was already curbing the momentum of the enemy's offensive.

After all, a large number of Torsion Slingshots have been removed from the fleet for overhaul, they have been repaired, and a battle is just to test the results of repair.

Fifty slingshots are arranged on the extension of the camp, and they are installed on the sleigh. The reindeer is unloaded from the saddle to rest, and the sled becomes a fixed point of fire.

Torsion slingshots were already free-firing, firing light javelins with a high range and swirling down from the sky.

The Cajun army began to suffer losses. Facing the comrade who was pierced by the javelin and fell to the ground, the soldiers could only stare at them like copper bells, and continued to shout and charge with their spears.

I don't know if it's a slingshot, but the bull catapult is also throwing stones, and those who are hit must die from broken bones. Even in the face of high-speed moving cluster targets, they don't have any more attack windows.

Finally, the distance reached the carpentry range of the Ka army. A weak north wind favored them. The Ka army's bowmen threw arrows into the sky, and the Ross army finally began to suffer losses.

The Bone Cluster Arrows could not penetrate the armor of the Rus army, but some Suomis accidentally hit the arrows while holding bows.

Wearing a thick leather coat can weaken the damage of the bone clusters, but some people who are really unlucky are shot in the eyes and arrows in the neck, and they are suddenly bleeding and struggling. The poor wounded were pulled behind by their companions regardless of life or death, and the others still shot arrows to fight.

Until the Karelian army rushed into the range of the crossbow...
