Rise of Rurik Chapter 271

At the critical moment, Mezzasta didn't care so much. He saw that his son was still on the tower trying to shoot the enemy who hit the gate.

He shouted at the tower: "Taravis, you go shoot the enemy's archers, pay attention to the strange people, and destroy them!"

Telavis heard his father's call, raised his head from the tower, and soon really saw a group of strange people standing upright. Because he saw with his own eyes the strange guy firing strange arrows, and the clansmen on his wall suffered new casualties.

Rurik's mercenaries have fired seven consecutive rounds, and the Grey Squirrel Tribe has suffered a very heavy loss.

Rurik was very curious, could it be that the damage given by the crossbow bolt was too weak, and there was always someone defending the enemy city, making it impossible for his own people to climb the wall.

In fact, there are as many as forty corpses under the city wall, and every deceased has a weird and terrifying crossbow bolt.

Telavis on the tower picked up an iron cluster arrow, but there weren't many arrows in his hand, especially only five iron cluster arrows remained.

He noticed that the little figure, like a child, seemed to be the commander of a group of weird people.

"Maybe kill him, my people can feel better."

The tower where Telavis is located has never attracted Rurik's attention, and now he has to pay for it.

An arrow flew towards Rurik without warning, and then slammed it at a large elevation angle less than half a meter away from Rurik's feet.

Rurik, who was already holding the crossbow, instantly burst into a cold sweat, and the injured crossbow also fell.

"Damn, someone is attacking me! Who the **** is it?!"

As Rurik roared, looking for cover to rely on, he thought of the shield.

Immediately afterwards, another arrow landed in his crossbowman formation. Obviously, it landed in the position where Rurik had just been.

"Danger!" Jeflo threw the crossbow, and rushed towards Rurik while holding a shield. He protected his master while lying down, and the entire cluster of iron arrows appeared behind the shield.

Upon seeing this, Rurik, who was well protected by Jeflo, was sweating cold all over.

"Master, I said, it's dangerous here." Yevlo said calmly.

Rurik was trembling all over, conscious that death was so close to him: "The enemy, want to kill me?"

"I'm afraid it is. But the problem is not serious now."

Rurik rolled his eyes and was pleased to see that his mercenaries took up shields to form a shield wall.

"Did you see the enemy archer?" Rurik asked nervously.

"Probably in that **** tower."

"Damn it, why I haven't paid attention to it."

Evlo smiled optimistically: "Maybe you just shoot the turtledoves and ignore the bigger prey."

"Then knock that owl down, hurry up!" Rurik said fiercely.

"Yes!"

Telavis had only the last iron cluster arrow left. He noticed the enemy's abnormal reaction and thought he had succeeded.

After a while, a counterattack came.

More than a dozen crossbow arrows were shot at the tower, and the relatively thin wooden planks were pierced. The sudden attack scared Telavis into a ball. He was crying and crying. The simple curling up also allowed him to save his life.

Evlo led the team to launch two rounds, and to be honest, everyone's arms were already sore. Even though the steel arm of this crossbow is deliberately made very long, it is a steel arm after all, and the archer still needs all the strength to wind it.

Jeflo withdrew and told Rurik: "Brothers are very tired. Next... we need to rest our arms."

"No!" Rurik carried the three arrows that almost killed him, and said loudly: "We are carrying the pulley rope and use it to wind the string."

"However, the speed will be very slow."

"Go ahead! Before we break through the enemy's wall, we must cover the brothers." After all, Rurik gave Yevlo a push.

The master's request made Yevlo very touched. The master is worthy of being a brave man. When he grows up, he will definitely be the king that everyone can trust.

Yevlo shouted: "Have you heard the master's order? The battle is still going on, we still have a lot of arrows! Go and get the rope, let's continue fighting!"

With this opportunity, Telavis, who had been scared to diapers, climbed down from the crumbling tower, and then obeyed his father's orders and took his sister to evacuate. There were a large number of corpses who died of arrows within the city wall. They fled to the wooden house in panic and fled to the shamans of the tribe.

Now, the asylum seekers can only pray for a little psychological comfort from the wizard, praying that a miracle will happen.

Otto, who led the attack on the city, was busy hitting the gate, and he couldn't understand how much damage the archer had done to the enemy.

Otto felt that he was fighting a wasteful battle at all. How could he be unable to break through the enemy's gate with a siege hammer that should be useful? In fact, the city gate has been seriously deformed. Because there are a lot of heavy debris behind the city gate, such as a large number of ice cubes, the existence of these obstacles makes it really futile to hit the gate.

However, the entire wooden wall has been loosened, many of the hemp ropes that bind the trunks are broken, and some of the trunks that make up the walls have serious cracks.

As long as the collision continues, there will be no problem with the gate, but the collapse of the entire wall.

Otto couldn't predict that he would be able to break a wall, he became more and more impatient, as if this siege was about to fail again.

On the other hand, the gray squirrel tribe is only one step away from psychological breakdown.

Because they are the defenders of the city, the serious casualties have made 80 people lose the ability to fight, and those who are still fighting are about to use their arrows.

Once the arrows ran out, Mezzasta thought of all gymnastics with a short spear to make a final fight with the enemy.

It was at this moment of crisis that a low horn came from a distance.

The sound of the horn is like a dawn piercing the darkness.

Both sides of the battle heard the sound of the horn!

The attacking Ross army was taken aback, and the struggling gray squirrel tribe fighters suddenly came to energy.

The frowning Mechasta suddenly became excited: "Brothers! The mountain gods and river gods have protected us! The reinforcements have finally arrived!"

Otto clearly realized that the enemy was cheering up, and the sound of horns kept coming from his ears.

Almost out of instinct, Otto realized the huge crisis, and he did not hesitate to suddenly order a retreat.

The order to retreat was so sudden that even a soldier was very puzzled.

Kawei was shocked: "Big Chief, we are one step away from success, why retreat?!"

"Idiot! Are you deaf?"

"what?!"

Otto tapped Kawei's helmet with his sword hilt: "It must be an enemy reinforcement! Let's stop attacking this tortoise shell. We will fight their reinforcements."

After that, Otto shouted again: "Brothers! Don't hit the wall anymore, save a bit of strength, their reinforcements are coming, we will destroy them!"

In this way, many incomprehensible warriors realized that everyone began to retreat in a more organized manner. When they evacuated, they were also trying to take away the injured. As for the deceased, leave it alone.

Of course Rurik heard the sound of the horn, and the continuous dull sound caused the whole forest to tremble.

"Jeflo, what happened? Could they have reinforcements?"

"It's very possible! My master, kill them?" Yevlo smiled deliberately.

Although he didn't clarify the situation, he couldn't see the enemy's phantom.

Rurik clearly saw that the people who had attacked the city were all retreating towards the camp, and he had already made plans to come. In line with everyone's dignity as Vikings, Rurik believes that it is possible to flee here only the servants of the Salmon Lord tribe.

Rurik immediately arranged a task for Jeflo: "Take two brothers, restrain the guys who catch the salmon, and tell them that no matter what happens, they must fight for the Ross people."

After a while, Otto returned to the camp with the siege army and all the equipment. When they came back, they didn't forget to try their best to pick up the arrows from the snow. It is said that they will be used later.

"Dad, does the enemy have reinforcements?" Rurik asked knowingly.

Otto is no nonsense: "There can be no mistake, the next step is to hack and slay new enemies."

Otto retired instinctively. He found Kehas, his servant, and learned an important piece of information. At the same time, he understood what the guys on the walls were saying.

"My master, maybe the tribes in the southeast came together, because the horn is only sounded for the decisive battle. It is the horn that represents the joint battle when we Corvins resist the Tavastias."

Otto nodded, and looked at the survivors on the wall with contempt, spitting phlegm and said viciously: "Wait for your reinforcements to be eliminated, continue to pack you."

To be honest, the casualties in the siege of the Ruths were very small, especially the heavy infantry who attacked the fortified infantry without any casualties. Their leather armor and chain mail gave them a huge combat advantage. And this combat advantage will definitely be fully demonstrated in the frontal hack and slash.

Otto took all the warriors, including the servants, out of the woods, and everyone started to attack the frozen river, just because it was an open land.

Otto believed that since he came all the way along the glacier, the so-called enemy's reinforcements must also follow this path. Due to the good performance of Kaihas's people in the battle, Otto became more convinced of this person's words that reinforcements would come on the ice for the admonition of action. Kejas even claimed that reinforcements are likely to drive reindeer sleighs.

On the other hand, a reinforcement of as many as 800 people came in a reindeer sleigh.

Four reindeer are pulling a larger sleigh with more than ten people, or three or four people squeezed on it. In total, as many as one hundred reindeer sleighs rushed in.

Although these tribes living near Lake Oulu are dissatisfied with the salmon master tribe's monopoly on "salmon tide" and squirrel catching, they actually don't particularly like the gray squirrel tribe.

The tribes are in a competitive relationship, and only because they oppose the attacks of the Tavastians will they maintain a close relationship with each other.

Therefore, everyone knows the truth about the death of the lips and the teeth, so the three tribe leaders spent some time negotiating, and finally decided to send troops.

After all, the messenger would not make such a joke.

It must be true that the Varangans were invaded.

The reinforcements heard the shouts of killing on the glacier approaching the gray squirrel tribe, and the army suddenly became nervous.

After all, these Kovin tribes living in the inland, very few of them have seen the local tribes in Port Narvik. They know that the locals know how to smelt iron. Maybe the Varangians and they are similar? The legendary Varangans are a group of people who use iron extensively.

To fight against such an enemy, a single soldier will inevitably feel frustrated, but once the number of soldiers increases, the situation changes.

The three tribes were almost out of their nests, and most of the young and strong men joined them. Many people hope to pass a counterattack to prove that they are brave men who can defeat the Varangans, and make themselves a position in front of the villagers. honor.

It can be said that the army of 800 people is an unprecedentedly powerful force assembled by the three tribes. If everyone defeats the Varanges, the next step is to actively search for the Tavastias to counterattack and regain their lost land.

The number of people supports their self-confidence.

But for the Ross people, everything is useless.

After all, the Ross army here is extraordinary. Four hundred Ruth fighters dared to attack a settlement of two thousand people that also belonged to the Vikings, and they even won. What about 800 scientific and cultural aids?

Here, I am afraid that only Lurik is more careful.

In a sense, Rurik's plane of caution is a bit redundant. He still has as many as a thousand crossbow arrows, enough to support the terrifying combat effectiveness of his mercenaries.

As the mercenaries panted triumphantly, everyone's strength also recovered.

With the Ruths engulfing the servants, soldiers in their early three hundred gathered on the ice.

Just in the distance, a large crowd of dark and oppressive people appeared.

"It's the enemy! They came to die." Kawei said excitedly holding the steel sword.

Otto frowned and said impatiently: "I saw it! Kid! Get ready to fight!"

Otto immediately ordered the troops to put up a traditional shield wall, and those heavy infantry in chain armor were the backbone of the front.

The two wings of the shield wall are slightly poorly equipped warriors. Of course, the "slightly poor" here is just a huge advantage over other Viking tribes for the Kewen people.

All archers are required to be behind the shield-holding warriors. Otto has understood the tactical advantages of the extensive use of bows and arrows, but the next step is to fight head-on. Archers are probably not very useful.

Everyone's leather boots are non-slip, and everyone's attitude of holding swords and shields is inexhaustible.

Rurik gave his father new advice.

"What? Your mercenary wants to shoot arrows outside of the current formation?"

"Of course! This is the true value of my crossbow." Rurik said confidently.

Otto was relieved of this self-signaling, but he pressed his son's shoulders tightly: "Let Jeflo fight, you stay."

"Dad! You... Are you afraid that something will happen to me?"

"Yes!" Otto said bluntly: "There are many enemies, and the next is our hack and kill, you child must retreat."

Recognizing the reality, Rurik knew he hadn't had his turn to hack and kill himself, but he still had new ideas.

Jeflo had already taken the crossbowmen out of the formation, and not far away, he had stepped down the sleigh, consciously gathering into a group of enemy reinforcements advancing steadily.

Rurik rushed to the side of the servants~www.mtlnovel.com~ and stood beside Kehas, shouting in a language that the locals could understand: "Now, you are all free!"

Suddenly, everyone was puzzled.

Kaihas didn't even know what his master meant.

Rurik put a serious face: "You didn't understand what I said? We fight together! We win, and you will be free! From then on, your Salmon Lord tribe is no longer my slave, but my allies. . Your women and children are also free!"

"Fight for freedom?" Kaijas asked excitedly.

"Yes! Fight for freedom." Ruriek said surely.

The slaves never dreamed that the Rus decided to release them, the premise of course was to complete the battle victory. Although Otto, who learned of this situation, was dissatisfied, since it was Rurik's decision, he had no choice but to agree.

Otto's only relief was that the morale of these servants seemed to burst.

Morale! With morale, the Ross people are invincible!
