Rise of Rurik Chapter 562

Chapter 562 Arik and Ross Scouts Ice Sea rushed to beat them

At the end of the Tavastian meeting, the women and the children brought by the three chiefs of Corvin were shared cleanly by many villages, and the few males were completely absorbed.

Bakkan, Holté, and Ojedo have indeed lost their tribes. They have not really become ordinary people, nor have they encountered any humiliation. The reason for this is that they are not a threat at all.

The displaced people finally found peace with the Tavastians.

The existence of these three people formed a great symbol, that is, Chief Watkad has enough power, and can already use this power to let the digger actively rely on it!

Which chief doesn't want a flatterer? What's more, the three people obviously play a huge role in the north.

I heard what the three said that once winter came, the active Rus would huddle in their hometown west of the sea, and the camp they stayed in the river became defensive.

Insert a sentence, [mimireadapp] It's really good, it's worth installing, even Android and Apple phones support it!

Winter became a great opportunity for assault. Watkad, who felt he had the opportunity, organized a real expedition in the first winter after the three leaders surrendered.

He ordered his brother Vatyara (strong feet) to take as many as five hundred carefully selected warriors, the so-called shrewd winter hunters, with his all-metal weapons to form an expeditionary army. Under the guidance of Tai and Ohedo, a surprise attack on the Oulu River Basin was launched.

It can be said that the three defeated leaders finally got the opportunity to counterattack. Didn't the Tavastias they saw also have iron spears, iron arrows clusters, and strong physiques?

They naturally think that their defeat lies in the lack of armed forces. Now it seems that the Tavastia fighters should be as fierce as the Ruths. The Expeditionary Army has so much strength, and the Tavastias have more fighters. They naturally estimate that this force will clean up the power of the Rus and end the grievances with the Salmon.

As for his own tribe, the original intention was destroyed.

The three of them took the surviving women and children of the tribe and left, and they lived for revenge. As long as the vengeance is paid, what's the matter with death?

Now, the Tavastia expeditionary army is like a speeding arrow, heading north in the icy forest, aiming directly at the hill fort of the Salmon Lord tribe.

They killed as many as fifty people (and more than sixty people were injured to varying degrees), and finally won under the fire attack and smoke tactics. They became the masters of the Oulu River Basin and seized a large amount of iron, but they watched the other Corvins who were madly fleeing in a deer sleigh on the vast sea ice, just watching them leave.

The broad hunters of the expeditionary army have already obtained the trophies of their iron tools one after another, and immediately began to catch them in winter.

The mountain fort that had been burned by the flames was beyond recognition, and a lot of leather that could have been taken away was also turned into ashes in the fire.

The mountain fort of the Salmon Lord tribe has basically lost its use value, and the Tavastia people who have expedition to this point began to use the mountain fort left by the Grey Squirrel tribe.

In order to plunder the spoils, they dug tombs everywhere. Although they did not find any good things, they were shocked by the astonishing number of highly decomposed corpses.

It is a large number of stacked bones, and there is always a thick seal on it.

According to the three surrendered people, these bones are probably the dead of their own tribe.

How many people died in battle? Is it true that the Ross people are really enemies?

Commander Vathyara seized a peculiar and flexible iron sword, and his soldiers pulled out several strange corpses.

According to the surrenders, these people who have been stabbed with spears are the Ross people.

The Ross people were killed in this way. Maybe they weren't strong. As for the huge amount of bones, he didn't understand what kind of fierce battles had happened here, and he didn't want to make trouble for some of them.

Based on tradition, the Tavastia people began to transform the old mountain fort of the Grey Squirrel tribe into a camp that can be held for a long time. Of course, the old camp of the Lord of Salmon has also been reused to a certain extent.

Watyara sent a messenger back with good news, and at the same time announced that this area of ​​the river had become the new territory of Tavastia.

Hunters catch squirrels and ferrets, and explore all the way to the frozen coast.

Looking at the boundless sea of ​​ice, these hunters in the mountains and forests all opened their mouths, feeling the wonder of the world.

They found that walking on a thoroughfare made of ice can reach an island ahead, where there are already many wooden sheds.

Is that also the camp of the Kewen people?

Some bold arrows placed arrows on the bow and touched them vigilantly. After discovering that the place was empty, it was happily about to occupy it.

Isn't this a treasure rewarded by God? The Corvins fled, and all their camps were taken by the new conquerors!

The Tavastias also found five strange boats parked on the shore of the frozen island. They were upturned at both ends and there was a mast in the middle. The boat was firmly anchored by ropes and covered with snow.

It seems that the Corvins have escaped for their lives, and their boats have also been thrown here.

Even though there are many lakes in the territory of the Tavastiya Tribal Alliance, the shipbuilding technology is really primitive. They can only cut down trees and chisel out canoes with an axe. For example, it is too difficult to make Viking longboats. This shipbuilding technology is really inferior to the southern neighbor Suomi, at least the latter can flee to the Gulf of Finland to fish and meet the passing Ross fleet.

The days of the Conqueror of Tavastia became stable, and Vatyara enjoyed grilled squirrels, mink meat, and even bear meat.

More than a hundred immigrants from their hometowns dragged their homes, and they arrived in reindeer sleighs along the road explored by the expeditioners. The speed of their immigration shocked the three surrenders.

The Oulu River has become the living space of the Tavastias, and its momentum of expansion to the north seems to have been unstopped.

The immigrants came with all kinds of production tools and immediately began life when they arrived here.

Vatyara lay comfortably on the newly peeled bear skin, his mouth full of gourmet grease, and his rough big hands pointed at the three surrendered Kewen leaders at random.

"My eldest brother is the leader of the alliance, and I am now the leader of this flood (Oulu) river. This is also your home, and I am your master. The hometown of Corvin is now the northern frontier of our Tavastians. ."

awkward? Helpless? Embarrassed?

Bakkan, Holté, and Ojedo, these three have become lonely people, and have become sad commanders of bare rods. They are poor creatures who have no real power or even their names, but they at least survived.

The three of them flattered and agreed, congratulating Watyara on the successful conquest of this old thing.

They are willing to be loyal servants, and Wat Yala haha, who is complimented and comforted.

"The three of you are very smart. As my loyal subordinates, I naturally want to give you rewards. I can find three women from the tribe. We are all men. Men will not embarrass men."

All three of them knelt down, dancing and praising the wiseness of the leader of the expedition.

But, is this really a wise one?

Does this "hero" of the expedition really feel that after the Corvin escaped, the master Russ behind him gave up here?

He certainly knows that the Ross people have a high probability of revenge, but immersed in the first real victory of his life, Vatyara even feels that his merits may be higher than that of his eldest brother Watkad.

The eldest brother is the eldest brother after all, and he is older than himself. If Big Brother suddenly died of illness, he would have enough strength to fight for the position of the leader.

Then let the Ross people rush over! The brothers waited at ease, seized Rose's iron tools, made a battle, and found new chips for future positions.

However, something unusual happened!

The small island at the mouth of the Oulu River that can only be reached through the icy sea is Hailuoto Island.

The island has a natural bay facing the mouth of the river, and it is simply a unique place for boats to berth. Just in this tiny bay, Ross fishermen naturally built a summer camp. It is entirely because the winter weather here is so bad that no fishermen have settled for a long time. A small number of boats were thrown here. When the weather became cold and the fishermen caught enough migratory salmon on the spot, they happily returned to Roseburg on the other side of the sea for the winter.

Since the Rus conquered the Oulu River Basin, the fishermen began to carve up the fishery resources here, but no one thought that the Tavastia people who only heard of the name would become a strong competitor.

Maybe, those guys are really powerful, right?

Do not!

In Arik's view, the strongest enemy was the Danes. But the feat of his younger brother Rurik fully demonstrated that now the Duchy of Ross can defeat Denmark like trampling an ant to death.

Arik has always been dispatched to do some dangerous work over the years. Being a scout is not the first time, he really enjoys it.

He is naturally adventurous and likes to fight against unknown enemies. After performing these tasks many times, his mind has become more agile than a ferret sneaking in the snow.

Correct! Ferrets! Since the world is white, fifty warriors should be dressed like ferrets.

They took some time to prepare, put on a white cloth cloak, and rode six reindeer sleighs across the ice sea.

Why do you get lost in the vast ice sea? Because many of these selected people are fishermen, they like to fish in the waters near the Oulu River in the summer, and then repair the boat screens in the summer camp. They are not simply armed reconnaissance, but also the task of restoring the summer camp.

These fifty people all wore crossbows. Among them were the extremely powerful but rather heavy steel-armed crossbows, and the very light and small-powered short wooden bows were converted into wooden-armed crossbows.

They also carried shields, short spears, steel swords, and a few also carried slings.

After a day of rushing on the ice, they climbed over the ice pack raised on the ridge of the bay and spent the night on the ice again.

People are eating pre-made wheat cakes, and even the reindeers are chewing oats.

In terms of logistics, Arik's reconnaissance team need not worry at all.

The flames were beating, and he shouted to his brothers: "I guess those villains have already occupied the river. We set up camp when we arrived at the summer camp, leaving some brothers to guard the camp, and others infiltrated the forest near the glacier."

Someone yelled casually: "Should we encounter the enemy, shall we watch the change or chase after it?"

"Of course it's killing!" Arik didn't even want to decide on this strategy.

It was also mentioned: "But the Duke asked us to report the enemy's intelligence. If there is a fight, the number of brothers is too small."

"What is there to worry about? Is the crossbow in your hands firewood? Some of you have followed me through the entire Gotland Island. We have all experienced the most dangerous things, and who else is worried about a group of rivals? Where is the literati?"

What Arik said, many young fighters who really killed all sides on Gotland deeply agree.

He also said: "Just follow my plan! We are all dressed in white cloth and can hide in the snowdrift. We approached the exposed enemy quietly and shot with a crossbow, just like shooting a wild deer or a bear."

The plan has been set, and the first task is to arrive at the summer camp smoothly.

Of course, Arik is no longer a complete reckless man now. There are terrible scars on his arm, which is the result of underestimating the enemy in Gotland.

Fearing that he stabbed a hornet's nest with his limited force, he kept his brothers on guard, tacitly arriving at the summer camp and fighting the enemy.

They ran wildly on the ice for more than two days. It was a sunny afternoon. The Ross scout on the sleigh saw the distant frozen coast and even the island.

The island is unnamed and people call it the "summer camp to the east".

They had seen the straw shed left by their own people on the island, and they were also very alert to snoop out the curling smoke.

"Not good! There are enemies!" Someone on the sleigh was shocked.

Arik raised his head, his entire face turned into cracked ground.

He gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that the enemy has already occupied our camp. Brothers, prepare to fight, we kill them all!"

People are going crazy after a long journey, and suddenly there is a chance to kill the enemy and do meritorious service. Who wants to be left behind by the guys?

Besides, look at this sunny weather. The great sun of Odin's incarnation is in the sky, and the eyes of God are watching the fighting heroes.

Which warrior does not want to show bravery before God?

At this moment, there are more than twenty Tavastias who are staying on Hailuoto Island. At first they discovered the strange camp and wonderful ships here, and now the camp is used as a post.

Vatyara was so arrogant that he could ignore the possibility of an attack by the Ruths, so he left such an eyeliner.

But for this group of people who saw the vast ice sea for the first time, their awe from the beginning has turned into boredom.

This den of twenty people stayed in the summer camp left by the Ross people. They like to stay warm in the shed, or burn firewood to bake squirrel meat, or even bear meat and wolf meat.

Compared with the Corvins, this group of Tavastias has a stronger hunting ability. In addition to being good at archery, they also dare to gather to hunt black bears.

Now the Ross people are here!

Arik and his guys landed, and the reindeer sleigh stopped on the frozen shore.

"Brothers come with me."

"The arrows are all wound, everyone scattered, we surrounded the camp."

"Remember, the wooden crossbowman, wind up the arrow immediately after shooting, and then shoot again. The steel crossbowman, throw it after shooting the arrow, draw the sword and rush to me!"

Hailuoto is not a small island. Arik landed from the north of the island, which is only three kilometers away from the summer camp.

This distance seems to be far away, but it is not the case.

The Ross man climbed the snow hill with a crossbow, and he saw someone moving.

They all got down and hid them in white cloth cloaks.

Soon after squinting at Arik, it was confirmed that there were not many people shaking, which simply caused a swift assault.

He stood up and called on the brothers: "Get up all. Clash with me! Kill them all."

The Ross people were impressed by the surprise attack, and no one shouted any slogans, but naturally formed a wider skirmish line and rushed towards the camp.

When the Tavastia garrison spotted the white assailant, they thought it was a monster popping out of the snow.

Do not! Suddenly, Xue actually spoke.

When the two sides were close enough, the Rus began a spontaneous Viking roar, accompanied by angry arrows.

The Tavastias were caught off guard. They tried to fight back by drawing their bows and shooting arrows, but it was useless after all.

Arrows whizzed past Arik's ears, and he didn't even pay attention to it after all the battles.

Relying on advanced weapons and superior military strength, the Russ, who had more advantages in military strength, quickly rushed to the summer camp.

The warrior who threw the crossbow began to slash with the sword. The Tavastia who had been beaten suddenly realized that he had lost even the opportunity to fight back.

Only one person hurriedly sat on a reindeer sleigh, trying to rush back to the river area, to inform the boss ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ very helplessly, this unlucky person became the target of public criticism.

Along with the reindeer pulling the sled, he fell dead after being hit by many arrows, and the man was hit by three heavy crossbow arrows in his back.

There were no casualties among the Ross people.

The brothers panted with a smile, and someone began to examine the dead body's wooden bow and scattered arrows.

Someone carried the captured arrow to Arik with a contemptuous attitude: "Boss, this is their arrow? Look at this cluster of arrows that are all rusty and so small, like a small iron nail."

Another person came with an arrow: "Look, there are clusters of bones and arrows here. I checked the corpse. No one was armored. The dead corpse was much shorter than us. It seems that these enemies are not armored. We have many brothers. People are still wearing thin iron-reinforced chain mail, which is really over-prepared."

Arik looked at the arrow brought by his men and broke it with contempt, and looked at the glacier again: "This battle is too easy for us to win. In my opinion, Kejas is exaggerating. We are actually dealing with the Danish warriors. To deal with these guys with a good attitude."

"Boss, what shall we do? Charge into the glacier now?"

Arik shook his head: "Let's stay overnight, we'll eat and we'll act tomorrow. Listen!" He called everyone around and ordered: "Leave 20 brothers in the camp, and the other 30 will follow me into the woods. We are. Go hunting!"

Hunting? What is hunting? Bear hunting?

Arik gave a simple explanation, and the brothers were all amused. He indeed regarded attacking the Tavastia invaders as hunting wild beasts, and naturally formed a hunter group, which was to stare at the single enemy to fight more and less, and explore all the way to kill all the way.
