Rise of Rurik Chapter 129

Arik himself is the armorer. In his previous battle, the chain mail covering the entire torso was stained red by the enemy's blood, and the iron ring of the chain mail was broken in many places. There was a slight bruise on his arm, and he didn't feel the pain for a while, and he threw it to continue fighting.

"Brothers! Keep pushing forward and destroy them all!"

Arik's roar was drowned in people's shouts.

When he killed the first enemy, he was still very nervous. By now, Arik has fallen into a complete madness.

He felt that he should have taken off his chain mail early, and even took off his leather jacket, showing that he was a real berserker with his back bare.

Because the enemy also has a large number of people with their backs exposed, they are a group of disguised berserkers, a group of idiots, they are retreating!

The fishermen who rebelled at Sikkenberg, their fronts are being frantically attacked by the Ross people. Frontal combat is what everyone hopes for. Soon after the frontal collision, more than fifty people of Sikeenberg died. There is no wounded here, and the injured fell to the ground either by being trampled to death by his own person, or trampled by the enemy and then a spearhead.

The casualties of the Sikkenbergers continued to increase, and finally, their resistance reached the critical point of collapse!

The battle line maintained by the shield wrestling collapsed, and more than twenty Sikeenberg people were knocked down by the Ross people. This time is good, the brave Ross people have always entered from this gap!

The Ruths slashed the fallen madly with their axes, steel swords, blacksmiths, and even Ruths who could throw short spears, and continued to assassinate without mercy.

Seeing that the front line was opened, the castle side still did not intend to help.

Many people behind the front line grief and indignantly sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight for a long time. The most powerful in the village, Oxon, continued to curse, and then bite the bullet and willingly be a shameful coward, with a broken shield and a bent Jian, abandoning his brother who was fighting in front of him, Sa Yazi ran away to the north frantically.

As for what will happen to the castle in the end, since Oxen feels that he can survive the catastrophe with the protection of the stone wall, let him and his men stick to it.

The only thing that can comfort the people of Sikkemberg is that many women and children flee in the dark, so that some people will run wildly and move soldiers to the families in the north.

Maybe when the rescuers go south, this group of unidentified, arson and looting, suspected Mind Sub-Alliance troops will be killed by the Gotlanders who counterattack.

When the rout happened, the people in the back ran away, and the people struggling in front noticed the emptiness of the back, and the momentary negligence in the moment of grief and anger was killed by the Ross people.

Finally, the last counter-attack force of the thinking Kemburg fishermen, which once had an organization of three hundred people, fell apart.

Chasing the fleeing people?

Pooh! There is nothing to chase after a group of naked cowards, the most valuable thing about them is the metal weapons in their hands.

What is value? It was this group of people who had desperately defended, and now they have left at least a hundred corpses to guard the castle.

The stone walls of the castle have always been someone who has been poking their heads out to observe the battle.

Arik held the steel sword high in front of the formation: "Brothers, shoot me! The mountain of gold is in the castle."

In an instant, the violent Ruths once again made the castle their first target of attack.

The dead companion lay in the enemy's corpse, and the wounded wailed horribly.

But these wailings were dissipated by the roars of the Roths longing for gold.

Many people put their shields directly on their backs, and rushed towards the stone wall happily with just a sword or an axe in their hands.

It is also said that the most powerful Oxon Swikken, he is only the leader of Swikenburg in name. Actually? This Gotland settlement does not have a very clear organization, but a large group of fishermen settled in this natural bay spontaneously. On weekdays, Oxen, the richest living in the castle, would hire fishermen to do things for him. And Oxon's men would also take money and ran to the village to find women for entertainment, and some of the children who ran around were called guard fathers.

Oxon built his home here and kept a private guard to protect his wealth.

He builds on high ground, uses boats to transport large quantities of stones from afar, and then hires fishermen to pile them up into walls.

In fact, the so-called castle is a dwelling mainly built of stones. It consists of a group of stone houses and wooden houses for people to live in, and a circle of stone walls barely three meters in height.

The castle is almost a big circle with a diameter of one hundred meters, and the stone wall is three meters high, but there is only one gate!

There are no moats, and no trenches. The stone wall is made up of a large number of stone blocks to form a relatively vertical surface as much as possible. After a long time, a lot of grass has grown on the so-called city wall.

Despite such a low wall, there is still a passage for people to walk around behind it.

Can a mere three-meter-high wall block the attack of the Rus?

It doesn't even have a back door for escape, or a desperate tunnel. Could it be that Fort Lord Oxon is a fool?

of course not.

For decades, no other force has organized an army to invade Gotland. Even now the relationship between Gotland and the people across the sea is very tense.

The Gotland people have always relied on the backing of powerful Danes, so this castle in Oxon was not designed to resist foreign invasion from the beginning.

Then, as long as the wall is repaired so that the local fishermen can hardly climb it up with bare hands.

Oxon stood on the wall, exposing both eyes cautiously, watching the fishermen flee dumbfounded, and then, the islands rushing out of the fire began to go straight to his castle.

At this moment, how eager Oxen is, holding all his treasures, pulling his wives, concubines and children, and fleeing in a special and absolutely safe way.

"Damn it, I knew I should build a tunnel." He whispered to himself for his stupidity.

By now, he can't even want to escape in a decent way. He is very sure that the pirates are just asking for money.

The facts are very clear, the pirates are eyeing the gold and silver of the castle.

Oxen's captain of the guard, Okenstein, was also standing at the head of the city. This bald-headed Danish with a big beard, looking at the scene of the fire, still facing his gold master with a calm and calm face.

"My lord, are you afraid?"

Okenstein touched Oxon lightly, shocking the fat man who was still wearing a mink coat and trembling with horror.

"Ah! You... don't touch me!"

"My lord, we can only fight to the death until now. Don't have any illusions. My brothers and I will guarantee your safety."

Hearing this, the horrified Oxen only felt that the man in front of him was like a **** descending from the earth, which made people feel at ease.

"You... can you fight off these enemies? You see, the fishermen have all escaped."

"Let those cowards get out. A man who can't even protect his wife and children will become slaves to others when they fled to other places. But we, we would rather die in battle than be cowards."

Oxon completely witnessed the battle just now that the pirates in the raid were indeed very cruel.

There is still a circle of stone walls as a barrier in the castle, and there are still 60 guards under his command who only take orders from him. Oxon feels a touch of comfort in front of him.

However, Okenstein also put forward his own conditions.

"My lord, brothers are willing to fight for you, you still have to pay some price."

"The price? Just say it, just keep...just keep my life!"

"We want gold." Okenstein said concisely.

"Gold? But..." At the critical moment, Oxen, who loves money, hesitated. He looked into the eyes of the captain of the guard, and he was worried about gains and losses.

Okenstein seemed to have known the owner's hesitation from the beginning. He still had a solemn face, and his rough fingers pointed at the swarming enemies: "You like gold, and we like them, and they, these pirates are even more Like it. They will kill you when they come in and take all of you. We only need a part, and then we will still be a subordinate. At this time, if you count on not giving a silver coin, let us sixty enemies work hard for you ?"

In an instant, Oxon got the hang of it.

"Okay! I'll give it! I'll give each of you ten gold coins!"

"Only ten? Give us thirty each, otherwise, I can't guarantee everyone will fight to the end!"

"Okay." Seeing that the enemy was about to climb the wall, Oxon gritted his teeth. "I will give you forty gold coins. As long as you can kill these enemies, everything is easy to say."

In this sea area, mercenaries and pirates often exist exactly the same.

Unlike pirates, working as a mercenary for wealthy money owners and holding regular wages seems more stable than being a pirate. But once you find a large, unprepared family, the mercenaries suddenly become pirates and rob them. Why not do it?

Therefore, the bald-headed Okenstein did not cut people when he was young, but this year he has grown older and it is too risky to continue to be a pirate. In order to maximize the benefits, with "rich hacking experience" as the personal biggest selling point, as the mercenary captain of the rich businessman, holding stable wealth and fighting with a large group of women, life is so happy.

That is, as long as this line of business, there will always be a battle to death.

Okenstein does not seek death, and spends a comfortable day, and finally died in a vigorous battle with a large fortune, which is a beautiful home.

Okenstein ordered the four warriors: "You guys **** the adults to the stone room for protection. Other brothers, let us kill this group of pirates! Don't let them go up the city wall!"

If you change the camp, Okenstein is a good military commander.

Maybe this is everyone's own ambitions.

If there is another possibility, he paddled a flat boat all the way north, hiding his identity to be a Ross man. With its excellent hacking experience, the Yuros tribe still has a good foothold. Because every Viking tribe worships warriors!

Okenstein had never thought of this. The group of tribal alliances in Svealan that his young people cut the most, and the islands that were killed are the mad dogs of the seto-shore alliance.

More than fifty guards rushed to the wall attacked by the Rus with their own weapons. They are also equipped with wooden shields, axes and iron swords, some of which also carry short spears.

There are also five archers in the guards, holding single oak bows, their performance is very average.

The Ross people are slightly different, they carry some steel swords, and there are as many as twenty archers.

Compared with the people who started trying to climb the wall, the Russian engineers took the lead!

"Brothers! Take an arrow! Remember our plan, don't hurt the wall-climbing brothers!" A hunter organized his nineteen colleagues, and now they spontaneously organize a support force behind the crowd.

Count on the archers to give the enemy a heavy blow? Don't really expect it.

The concept of the Ross people and even the allies in the South did not immediately change with the evolution of the times. Everyone does not naturally despise the role of archers, it is because the efficiency of the current bow and arrow used to kill the enemy on the battlefield is really terrible.

The bow is generally cut from oak, and the bow string is twine, so there is no other material to enhance the performance of the bow. Hunters can shoot rabbits and deer with it. In the face of the ferocious black bear with thick-skinned flesh, he still organizes his hands to fight with his spear, or flees when he sees it from a distance.

Never expect to shoot a black bear with an arrow, and never believe the bragging of a hunter!

Bow and arrow is such a status quo.

The distance is farther, the arrow is not easy to penetrate the enemy's leather armor, and even a few layers of linen clothes can block the arrow. What's more, the bravest people are wearing chain mail, and can resist to a large extent when shooting arrows at close range.

Whether it is bronze or iron, all metals are precious. The hunters did not ask for arrows to kill the enemies whose heads were exposed before the dawn of this day. Because those people were definitely guys wearing helmets, and the helmets reflected light in the skyrocketing fire. Such people are probably samurai in the castle, maybe many people wear chain mail.

The purpose of the hunters' support is arson.

They used cheap bone arrow arrows, tied a little linen cloth, and glued a sticky pine resin. The arrows became extremely flammable, and they were all ignited.

"Let the arrow!"

In an instant, twenty flaming arrows soared into the air, throwing them at the back of the stone wall.

At the same time, the guards of Okenstein and other gold masters who defended the city were ready to assassinate the enemies who climbed the wall.

Seeing the flame sword descend from the sky, I couldn't help but feel fear.

Although these arrows on fire can't bring any definite damage to himself, Okenstein's most fear is that the buildings in the castle will be ignited. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Why? Because including all the guards' residences, although it is a stone room built with stones, the roof is made of wooden beams, planks and thatch! The roofs of all houses have this structure, and today the climate is still dry and they are extremely flammable!

What kind of results did the Flame Arrow achieve?

The supporting Ross archers have no way of knowing.

The bows in their hands are very low in weight, and ordinary light arrows can barely project as far as 100 meters. Now, these rockets tied to the burning linen ball have become heavier, and the force of the projectile has become worse.

"Take an arrow! Keep firing!"

The archers are shooting arrows at the rear. They don't directly participate in the siege. The warriors of Ross's attack on the stone wall will not feel that the archers are a mess.

The situation is very chaotic. The Ross people who tried to climb the city wall thought what the mere city wall was? When they got to the root of the wall, they realized that climbing the wall with bare hands was not a good idea.

It's not okay not to climb the wall until now.

Some warriors had sharp iron swords in their mouths and climbed with hideous faces.

Suddenly, a person jumped out of the empty position above, and an iron spear slammed down viciously.

"what!"

Along the way, many houses were burned, and the Ross brave who killed many enemies was stabbed with a spear while climbing the stone wall. After a cry, he fell heavily on the root of the wall and soon died.

Okenstein and his brother are now not only fighting for the gold master, but also for themselves.

The current situation is obviously that the strength of the castle camp he is in is absolutely inferior, so his only possibility of victory is to defend the stone wall.

They jabbed the five people down, and the other climbers stepped back when they saw it.

Okenstein's archers are also doing meritorious service. These five have been shooting arrows. Although the swords shot out can be easily blocked by wooden shields, it is indeed effective to disrupt the progress of the enemy's siege.
