Rise of Rurik Chapter 463

"The Rise of Rurik (

The shield walls of the two armies were fiercely together, the soldiers roared with their mouths open, their swords and axes slashed violently, and the fight began immediately.

The soldiers of the Ross Warriors flag team in full chain armor faced an opponent in full leather armor.

The Ross warrior in the first row tried to protect his entire torso with a shield, and his right hand held high and flat with a steel sword to jab frantically.

The swords of the Ruths began to turn blood red, and some warriors were killed by the enemy.

At the moment of the battle, only a few Ross fighters died quickly. Behind the death of a Ross fighter, there must be the deaths of multiple Gotland fighters.

Just as Rurik on the high ground predicted, only when the fight really started, the Ross people could truly realize their toughness.

The warriors of Gotland have been trying to open a gap. They subconsciously aimed their main attack direction at the center of the Russian army, but it was like a cheetah rushing into a porcupine.

"The men of Novgorod! The men of White Tree Manor! Show your courage! Assassinate!"

Medvedt retreated to the second line, commanding as many as 800 spearmen from his Slavic flag team.

The army of these farmers and loggers, most of them have experienced two months of training as elite Russian fighters. Carriers in training will be beaten with sticks, and those who do not listen to orders will be beheaded.

They sweat a lot during training on weekdays, and at the same time they can eat fish with their belly open. Now they are completely different from the other people in their hometown. Everyone has become strong. They were originally only torsos in common clothes. Not only did the soldiers in the front two rows wear the blue and white robes of the Ross people, they were also covered with leather. A.

I am afraid that for the Slavic flag team, shields and armor are redundant.

They are all spearmen, and now the monster composed of 800 spears is alive like a porcupine, and it uses a large number of dangerous spikes to deal with the cheetah's fangs.

More than fifty Gotland fighters, who were very brave and tried to attack the Russian Army, successfully pulled out some spears by relying on their shields, but they were waiting for more black spearheads.

The quenched chromium iron is very hard, and the spearhead is polished to give a sharp spike. But these spearheads are not flat, they are essentially a pointed iron pillar, rather than the wide blade of the Gotland short spear.

This is designed to cater to the physical properties of ferrochromium, that is, the military spikes are inserted into the extremely long wooden poles, and the tactical effect is only to stab them, and hundreds of spears are organized to fight but are effective.

The fifty Gotland warriors were jabbed one after another, and the Slavic warriors easily drew their spears and left a large blood-spattering hole in the enemy's body. Just a hole can force the enemy to lose the ability to fight, and now, these fifty warriors have been stabbed to death one after another.

The subsequent Gotland fighters were still attacking, and when they realized that something was wrong, it was too late! They were pushed and shoved by soldiers in the rear, and one after another in despair, someone passively ran into the spear wall of the Ross army.

A female warrior from Gotland screamed and shocked, and was mercilessly stabbed by the Slavic spearmen in the Russian army. Even those soldiers who were extremely relieved, when they suddenly realized the horror of the war, it was too late.

Medveit in the command was taken aback: "Ah! My people are killing female Varanges? They are going to war like us, both men and women?!"

As far as combat is concerned, the Slavs have no psychological discomfort for the female soldiers who killed the dead. On the contrary, the people of Novgorod have always believed that if there is a war, women in tribes and manors must also take up arms and fight with men. In their concept, everyone has the obligation to defend their homeland, even if they hold it. Wooden sticks must also participate in the battle.

The female warriors who killed their opponents were merciless, and the spearhead stabs the feller mercilessly. Even if the opponent is dead, the spearhead attack has not stopped.

The majority of Gotland fighters, they gradually realized that they were losing out in attacking the Russian army, and after paying a small price, they spontaneously moved to the two wings.

The soldiers are crowded and powerful. Wouldn't it break the deadlock by encircling the Russian army from two wings?

The Gotland Army began to move abnormally.

The boys and girls of Rurik climbed onto the earth wall one after another. They began to wind the wooden crossbow by stepping, and then set up arrows to shoot immediately.

The elite mercenaries, that is, the Duke's Guard, their original task was to hold the line to prevent the Slavs from being unable to withstand it. Now it seems that these Slavic fighters are more and more courageous!

Rurik changed his mind, and the elite mercenaries with amazing arm strength stood on the mound with all their strength and fired the fiercest crossbow with a steel-armed crossbow.

The Rus' crossbowmen continued to project. In order to avoid harming the friendly forces, their targets were all changed to the follow-up units of the Gotland Army.

Rurik himself could not help in the fight against the front line of the Ross Army. He could only pray that his people and the Slavs would be more and more courageous without causing many casualties.

For their own melee fighters, the greatest help given to them is to obstruct the enemy's subsequent reinforcements.

Otto watched the whole battle and was thrilled. He had already personally stepped into the battle to help the people under his hands quickly turn the winch of the torsion slingshot.

The enemy as a whole is doing a movement that is not conducive to the Rus!

Rurik roared and hurriedly ran on the dirt wall, acting as a berserker who was shocked and heavily armored, the chance to set out on his own! The berserkers stood up one after another, and then sat down helplessly.

The flag team was given a brand new order, the flag team was divided into two, and the target to be hit became a two-winged enemy.

The biggest disadvantage of the Russian army is the lack of strength on the surface. If the enemy is really surrounded by two wings, the subsequent battle will be in big trouble.

"Damn! Obviously I should surround and annihilate you, why do you want to surround me? Give me death according to the script!"

In Rurik's plan, the Gotland army had to be the target of unilateral slaughter, even if it was strong.

They are not fools after all, and spontaneously realize the benefits of creating encirclement.

The children started to shoot with a wooden crossbow, and the Corvin archer adjusted the shooting direction to throw light arrows with very high efficiency. The light arrows they fired are actually the same style of light arrows. The power of these iron cluster arrows is not great. However, the enemy is a group of warriors in common clothes and backless, and the light arrows have become the existence of great lethality.

Under the two wings of Arik and Haro Zuosen, as many as twenty dead brothers have been dragged to the rear in their flag team. The vacant position was filled, and the soldiers continued to fight.

Of course, the entire Russ army, which was originally leaning on the earth wall, has advanced for a full thirty steps. Behind them and where they stepped on, the enemy's corpses were already lying! The grass that was withered and yellow became extremely muddy! The soldiers' boots were stained with red mud, and the air was filled with a terrifying smell of rust.

During the melee, no one was afraid. Most of the Russ and Gotlanders were red-eyed, their minds were blank, and the only thought was to kill the opponent in front of them.

Because the Russ are well prepared and the front line fighters have strong armor, their loss of force is much smaller than that of the Gotland army. Trying to break through the Russian army's array is difficult, but the act of outflanking is equally perilous.

The Gotlanders who tried to outflank the Russian army were hit by arrows on a large scale, and once they fell to the ground, they could hardly stand up. Their shields were filled with Ruth arrows, and the hands holding the shield were pierced by clusters of arrows.

More terrifying damage is coming!

It is a heavy javelin with a torsion slingshot, with a range of only a hundred meters, and it will kill the enemy if it hits it. This heavy weapon was quickly exhausted, and the torsion slingshot began to fire more fierce "Ship-Destroying Cast Iron Projectiles"!

The cone-shaped cast iron chapter is slightly spiral-shaped concave, which rotates rapidly during flight, and hits the enemy extremely steadily. Any shield is meaningless. The wooden shield is smashed, and the cast-iron bullets break the enemy's bones. Any strong fighter will kill the enemy. Only a finger-thick plate can block its collision, which is a collision. The great power of shook the soldier coughing up blood on the spot.

Some people with exaggerated tattoos on their upper bodies have no interest in the face of technological weapons even with tattoos of the earthly pythons.

They were punched directly through their chests by the cone-shaped cast iron bullets, and a piece of iron appeared in the position of their hearts!

Crossbow arrows are another kind of horror. Heavy-headed crossbow arrows are not suitable for throwing. However, at special moments, steel-armed crossbows use heavy-headed crossbows to cast a blow from the sky.

The Russ launched a de facto barrage attack on the two wings of the Gotland army. After killing and wounding more than 500 people, they directly stopped the Gotland's outflank momentum.

However, the arm of the Corvin archers has been very sore because of their long time shooting.

A child like Telavis, who claimed to shoot as many as fifty arrows, was already exhausted by continuing to draw the bow.

But Kanuf and Fisk, who manipulated the wooden crossbow, saw that the girls in Rurik were struggling to wind the crossbow, so they couldn't slacken their efforts.

Thirty minutes have passed since the main force of the two armies collided and killed each other!

Based on his own experience, Rurik knew that the ancient decisive battles often found the winner in half a day. There is a reason for this, because human strength cannot support the fight for too long.

In ancient wars, once a war of swords and swords entered, the fat body was as strong as an ox, and those with superior strength would be able to win victory with long-term brute force output. It is said that whoever exhausts the energy first will be killed by the sword with the sword of the enemy with the last energy.

Does the Russian army still have enough physical strength?

Rurik didn't look very real from the rear. He saw that his crossbowmen were already panting, and the fighters who wanted to fight on the front line were even more exhausted. .

Arik and Harozossen, both of their steel swords have been dyed red. They saw that the enemy was hit by a large number of casualties by the arrows of the friendly army. Knowing that the signs of the danger were suddenly lifted, they began to implement it when they admired the meeting of Ryrik Planned pincers offensive.

"Brothers! Overtake the people of Novgorod, let's go ahead! Follow me!" Arik's roar was actually drowned in the voice of the voice, and the soldiers followed the raised banner. Macroscopically, there were two warriors. The two wings of the front line that the flag team is responsible for are slowly shrinking.

Everyone's eyes were staring at the flag team's flag. It meant that the flag captain Arik was there, and it was moving forward, which meant that Arik had ordered an attack.

"Haha! Arik is in action!" Rurik jumped happily. He felt the tacit understanding between his cousin and himself, and the pincer offensive had begun.

After cheering for a while, Rurik immediately yelled at everyone in the Archer Flag team: "Don't be afraid of getting tired! Now take the bow and push me!"

At this moment, Otto hurriedly threw away what was at hand and asked loudly: "Are you going to fight on the front line? Are you crazy?"

"No! I want the Archer Banner team to advance with the large forces, throwing arrows to continue to support the brothers! The torsion slingshot is here, soldiers, let me go!"

Rurik held up his short sword and ordered the mercenary guarding the Duke's flag to follow him with the flag.

At this very critical moment, he finally gave orders to the berserker who had been on standby for a long time, almost mad with his heart tickling.

The berserkers in heavy armor mixed with the flags of the marksmen. Under the leadership of Rurik and Otto, the fighters who fought in the line immediately followed the barrage.

It can be said that at the moment, there are only a pile of reindeer gnawing at the forage in the Ross camp, and a pile of unattended items.

Although the Gotland army has superior strength, the fighting is as good as it is now, their self-proclaimed superiority has lost its meaning. Facing a highly organized, well-equipped, but actually high opponent, more troops is no longer an advantage.

Harken panicked, he wanted to restrain his soldiers not to panic, but how many people could hear his roar?

The battlefield shouted and killed, and it became impossible to expect a commander to command the army by shouting.

Lurik realized this a long time ago and divided the army into flag teams. After arranging tasks for the flag captain, he assured them that they would lead the army to fight. As for the grassroots fighters, just watch the movement of the flag and the blue and white cloth strips on the Centurion's helmet.

Harken hurriedly retreated to the rear, carrying a pale sword to order the merchant's army who had been standing still until now: "My friends! We should act according to our plan!"

However, the situation of the war became like this, and the hearts of many businessmen were shaken.

"I'll let you out, hurry up! I'm the king, listen to my orders!"

"But let us go now. Is this reasonable? Farmers and fishermen are retreating!" A businessman was obviously frightened. This sentiment made his Danish mercenaries not dared to attack rashly, even though the mercenaries were willing to fight of.

Three more businessmen fought and retreated!

In a critical moment, Harald, who was very knowledgeable, did nothing, and suddenly assassinated a businessman friend with a sword.

The horrible scene shocked other businessmen.

"When is it all?! Can you still hesitate? We join the battle and threaten to run away and kill him."

Unexpectedly, this skeptic was so decisive during the decisive battle that he actually stabilized the military's mind.

"Okay! My brother!" Harken consciously saw the hope of counterattack. To be honest, he knew that the Gotland army in his hand still had a large number of fighters fighting. They were suppressed by the enemy's momentum and terrible weapons and retreated. , But nearly 900 armored Danish mercenaries in the rear intervened in the battlefield. Will the crisis of the Gotland Army be reversed?

The mercenaries of the merchants are all out, and the Danes have built a shield wall~www.mtlnovel.com~ with swords and axes attached to the eaves of the shields, shouting chants and walking forward in neat steps.

On the other hand, the Russ here, they are actually like an attacking glacier that can crush all the rocks and forests ahead.

The shot arrows continued to hurt, and the enemies they shot quietly became female fighters and young young fighters. These mobs were holding their shields and were being held back by everyone. From time to time, some people fell down with arrows, and then they were trampled on by their own people.

A considerable number of young and middle-aged people in Gotland have died in the fight, and of course, the Ross army has killed as many as 100 people here.

In fact, most of the dead of the Russian Army were poorly equipped Merlaren Banner soldiers and Slavic fighters. The Slavic spear array is indeed powerful, but individual fighters are extremely weak in defense, and they are unavoidably killed when they are stabbed by suicidal salted fish by individual mad opponents.

More than forty soldiers of the Rothborn tribe were killed in battle. They were all elite men. Arik was grieved for their sacrifice. He wanted to help his fellow clan who was vomiting blood, but he knew his own responsibility and moved on with grief and anger.

Finally at a certain moment, the Gotland native warrior finally had a terrible collapse! Most of their most combative male soldiers died. Seeing the female soldiers and young soldiers, they retreated with the retreated male soldiers.

They collided with the Danish army and gathered behind the group of warriors in chain mail.

The defeat of the Gotland Army left Harken speechless. He tried to reverse people's cowardice and began to scream.

Fortunately, the Gotlanders, whose emotions have gradually stabilized, have begun to fight back. It is not that they heard the exciting persuasion of the king, but that they saw an astonishing number of Danish mercenaries advancing.

The power of the role model is immense. The well-equipped Danish mercenaries attacked the Russian army, and the morale of the soldiers in Gotland was greatly boosted.
