Rise of Rurik Chapter 572

Text Chapter 572 This is an extremely insulting attack

The morning mist filled the forest, and the sun was like a curtain under the morning sun. The bonfire at night extinguished sparsely, leaving only a large amount of white smoke with embers.

The Ross army slept awkwardly, and they were still encircling the entire old gray squirrel hill fort.

Do you want to siege? Do not. At least not today.

One of the major problems facing the army is the supply. Originally, Lurik hoped to pass the waterway and let the rowing long boat bring fish, wheat and onions to the camp. However, the Oulu River is currently too turbulent. Now, you have to wait for a while if you want to sail the boat smoothly.

The Ross people don't completely need rear supplies. There are too many forest squirrel resources in this area.

Captured two squirrels roasted food can basically be enough for a soldier to spend a day, not to mention stream fishing.

The bonfire was ignited again, and the journey was smoke-filled as a circular barrier. There were already Ross soldiers wandering on the edge of the forest to deliberately perform to the enemy.

In fact, more Russ and Balmerks have brought weapons to hunt and fish.

There are more than fifty strong men carrying axes and double saws to start felling to build simple long ladders.

Today's plan is just a feint. Compared to killing the enemy, humiliating and intimidating, it is better to make the enemy tremble after a day of tossing, and their morale collapses so that they can win without loss.

But the enemy must be killed!

After eating a bowl of wheat with salt, Rurik yelled with his sword.

"Brothers all gather! It's time for us to work!"

Basically, he assembled only the longbowmen in the shooting flag team, as well as all the people who operate trebuchets.

The so-called technological advancement will become a huge advantage on the battlefield. Facts have proved that the Tavastians who set arrows at the mountain fort, with their inferior short wooden bows, cannot shoot arrows to the forest camp of the Russ anyway.

On the other hand, the Russ can comfortably face the enemy's mountain fort in the safe area.

Tavastia's arrow throw was only 150 meters, and Rurik, with more than 200 people, stood in a safe area of ​​about 200 meters.

He raised his right thumb to aim at the mountain fort, "Very well, this is the position. Take your head off."

This so-called head belonged to the deceased, and two hundred gray heads that had started to smell and ooze black blood were piled on the ground.

It is true that these heads are really the heads of Guizhou. Almost all Tavastias have black-brown hair, even their beards.

These characteristics prove that they are immigrants from North Asia.

Jeflo and his guys have been fed up with such unlucky things for a long time, and now they want to launch them, everyone can't wait.

Metzasta was already lined up with Corvin's longbowmen, ten arrows sticking in front of them.

The bull trebuchet is accumulating power. In addition to the Qianshou projectile, there is also a batch of two fists picked up on the spot, mostly pebbles.

There are also a large number of Ruth warriors with shields wandering on the edge of the forest, shouting from time to time.

Look at this battle!

The Tavasti runner-up commander Watyara is sitting on pins and needles. He doesn't want to sit still, but now he has completely lost the opportunity to evacuate. The only relief is that those who are not determined must now fight to the death.

They still don't know the true intentions of the Rus. Vatyara saw that the enemy was about to attack. In addition to ordering his men to prepare for a counterattack, they also ordered the surrendered Bakkan to act as a messenger.

This is almost mortal, right?

Looking at Rurik again, he noticed that someone in the distance was slowly lowering the rope while pulling it.

"Attention! Don't attack yet." He paused his archery and ordered everyone to remain calm.

Evlo held the sword and pointed at the man who came tremblingly, "Is that the messenger?"

"should be."

Rurik nodded and called Mezzasta who was holding the bow, "You know their language very well, so come and ask."

"Okay." Mechasta sighed. "Actually, I think it's a lot more. And these Tavastians, we can't give it back to fantasy."

"Indeed, I didn't want to be merciful."

"Then shoot this man." After that, Mezzasta raised his bow.

Rurik knew that this man was already good at archery, and this time he used the cedar longbow, and his skill was even better. This pulled Mezzasta's hand, "Listen to what this person said. I don't want to kill a messenger."

"Ok."

Metzstaben dismissed it, and as the man approached, his lowered bow was raised again.

"Master Duke, this guy is actually..." Mezzasta looked like a torch.

"Do you know this person?"

"You should know it too. He is Bakhan, who should have surrendered to you. Unexpectedly, he surrendered to the enemy?"

As soon as this remark came out, Liu Rick suddenly remembered that there were three Kewen leaders who had surrendered back then, but that had been forgotten for too long.

Bakkan came cautiously, seeing the arrow aimed at him tremble with tension in his legs.

Metzasta stepped up and kicked it directly, and then sputum again.

Bakan begged: "Don't hit me, I have something to say."

"Something? You betrayed everyone!" Mezzasta said.

Looking at the current situation, Rurik changed his mind: "Squeeze this person down first. Let's finish the projectile before talking."

"Kill him anyway!" Metzasta continued.

"Shut up!" Rurik shook his head, and ordered his men to tie the rope away, and tied the rope in his mouth.

Forget it, the Russian army's attack is still going on. Rurik would not change his plan just because the traitor had acted as a messenger.

Because a powerful country does not need diplomacy, this is the way of life in Northern Europe.

Rurik drew his dagger and ordered all his men in the array.

"Longbowman! Take an arrow! Catapult! Get ready!"

"Hjutraaah!"

With an order, ten trebuchets fired swiftly. The pus-blooded Qianshou was thrown out, and the full-charged lever slammed heavily on the thick leather cushion of the baffle plate, but the force was so great that the whole trebuchet spontaneously bounced back. Like a bull who kicks his legs.

The arrow accompanied by the flying Prime Minister Qian was the anger of the longbowman Kewen.

A large number of strange things flew over, and the Tavastia people who had suffered a loss subconsciously squatted down, especially those who stayed on the wall, picking up wooden boards to protect their heads and torso.

The defenders who had been dispatched to meet each other showed their magical powers to hide. The attack of the longbowman did not cause any damage, only the sound of a few arrows hitting the wooden board.

More serious impacts followed. They seemed to be flying stones. Although it felt extremely absurd, Vatyara felt that they were stones.

"It's a stone! Protect your head and don't be smashed to death!"

Some people were suddenly stoned to death during the raid and chaos. At that time, the battle was extremely chaotic, and Watyara couldn't care too much. Now he saw what was flying over, for fear that he would be smashed to pieces, he curled up into a ball, just like a pangolin.

But that is not a stone.

A "stone" hit the shield and then seemed to be bounced away, more often in the open space in the mountain fort.

The "stone" clearly did not cause any damage. This round of the Russian offensive did not cause any injuries to the defenders. As the saying is that the damage is not high, the insulting is huge. The Tavastia warriors who staggered and climbed up stared incredibly at the black. The "stones" on the ground, how could they be stones, they are clearly human heads!

Do not! It's one's own head!

Someone accidentally discovered that the head belonged to his friend, so he threw the shield and crawled over, holding up the head and howling.

Seeing this incredible situation, Vatyara's head buzzed, and then barked teeth and furious.

He stood up in rage, holding the captured steel sword, pointed at the array of the Ruths and yelled: "You are all **** born of slaves! Abandoned babies raised by hungry wolves! How dare to humiliate me like this! I want to Cut all of your heads and kick them into the cesspit!"

In fact, Watyara couldn't think of any more vicious words. He cursed here and squatted down because of fear.

After all, I screamed at the people who had gathered in the empty field to pick up the enemy's arrows and collect the heads of the dead: "Hide you! The arrows are coming!"

Indeed, the longbowmen started a salvo again, accompanied by Qianshou who hit the second round.

Fortunately, the Tavastiyas obeyed the boss's words, they hid and witnessed the smashed objects, thanking them for not being shot.

The new heads smashed in, and some even fell to pieces, causing people to retching and dizzy.

Rurik stood standing with a sword, his longbowman's arm strength was limited, and his arm was not good if he was exhausted before he really decided to fight.

Launching ten rounds in a relatively short period of time, even if the pounds of these longbows are still not high, he thinks it's better to relax. Only trebuchets, the hemp rope, tendons and whale baleen of these heavy weapons are soaked in too much greasy seal oil, and the torque can be squandered. Rülik will not only prepare two hundred heads of Guizhou today. Throw it over, and give away a batch of pebbles to the enemy.

He is extremely confident in the durability of these weapons, but he doesn't know the limit of damage.

For every trebuchet that does torque work, it should be okay to continue firing for 25 rounds.

Qian smashed the first round after round, and they landed on the occupied mountain pack quite accurately. Fear and anger pervaded the entire mountain fort. The Tavastians were still waiting for the news that the released Bakkan would bring back the Rus. Now it is estimated that the Bakan has been cut down. The Russ used this method. Expressed his attitude-rush to kill.

Many of the fallen Qianshou shattered to the ground, and the defenders witnessed it like a nightmare, with sticky and stinky things scattered everywhere. They were all retching, trying to escape from this place.

Everyone actually has no way to escape, and as the real stone falls, the shack where people hide is no longer safe.

Finally, a Tavastiya warrior was hit by a stone that penetrated the roof of the grass shed, causing his head to blossom and his bones torn apart. People held up wooden shields and prayed that they were lucky enough.

The offensive lasted for most of the morning, and the actual combat proved that all the trebuchets continued for 25 rounds of salvos and still had excellent performance.

The longbowman finished his mission after ten rounds of projectiles. Even so, people felt the fatigue of their shoulders.

The Ross people cheered for the morning battle. Everyone didn't know how much the enemy had lost. Anyway, the insulting capital of Guizhou was thrown over. There were also two hundred arrows and fifty pebbles. The nature of this action was intimidation and insult. The majority of Ross and Balmerk fighters should hurry up and polish their weapons.

When did the real siege of the old gray squirrel hill fort, in fact, Rurik did not come up with an exact "battle plan."

It can be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, anyway, starting from tomorrow, the Ross people will have the full ability to attack. Rurik suddenly appeared a little conservative, it was entirely his hope that his army would be an allied army in the last battle, and there would be no more casualties. After all, it is another great honor for one's own army to win a victory without injury.

Continue to toss the enemy in the afternoon? Of course it is.

To torture the beasts in the cage, Rurik is now willing to do this, after all, the brutal nature of his heart was forced out by these beasts.

Before that, he wanted to hear what the detained traitor Bakan wanted to say.

At this moment, Bakkan is simply tied to a big tree, and there are boring Ross soldiers peeing at this hapless egg, deliberately humiliating with malicious words.

When Rurik came back, the guy was already stinking.

After a few pottery urns splashed on the river, this guy's condition was a little better.

Rurik squatted down, with Mezzasta and Kejas standing beside him.

In fact, Bakkan was even more surprised that Mezzasta and Kejas were able to get along with each other peacefully than seeing Rurik, a young adult who looked like an adult.

"Go ahead, what did they send you to do?"

Bakkan was very excited. Seeing the current situation, he could not take too much care of him. He suddenly announced: "I! I was forced to be helpless. I am still your servant. Now all of my people are being beaten by Tavas. The Tia were taken captive, and I lost all my tribes and everything."

"You lied!" Metzasta saw the fallacy at a glance, and Kejas also agreed with this judgment.

"My lord, don't listen to his nonsense." Kehas was angrily. "I saw this guy instructing the barbarians to attack our fortress. Without this person's help, how could the enemy successfully capture me? Mountain Fort?"

Hearing these words, Bakhan's attitude suddenly became ambiguous.

Just by looking at this person's trance, Rurik would judge that what this person said was definitely a lie. Anyway, I don't need this traitor anyway, or that the entire Oulu River Basin has been constructed since Covenstad at the mouth of the river, and there is no need for the commissioned rule of the Corvins anymore. The Russ will directly rule and colonize.

Rurik motioned to the two men to shut up, and then asked Bakhan: "The enemy in the fortress wants to send me a message. Are they trying to surrender?"

"This..." At first, Bakhan wanted to say yes. He was really in the Russian army. He quietly changed his mind and insisted: "The Tavastias use me as a tool. They said it! They thought. You will not take down the mountain fort in any case, saying that they will stick to the end."

"Do they really have such confidence?" Rurik smiled presumptuously.

People who understood the words also laughed.

When Bakhan saw this, he continued to arch the fire: "Yes, they are very arrogant. Their leader said that it was just a small defeat before, claiming that the Rus dare to attack the city, under the wooden wall, it must be..."

"How must it be?"

"All the corpses of the Ross people."

The laughing Rurik stopped laughing immediately, and drew his sword at Bakkan's throat: "You are laughing at me!"

Bakan's mouth was trembling with wide-open eyes and hesitated: "Yes... the leader said it."

"Kill this traitor," Mezzasta suggested.

"Yes, cut him off!" Kaihas did the same.

Rülik's sword eased, and then he laughed as if he understood: “Indeed, you are a tool. The Tavastias think you are redundant, and I hope I cut you off. You... think of me. Will it kill you?"

Hearing it, Bakkan suddenly shook violently, and he was obviously anxious to express his position: "My lord, I still have use. I also know something very important."

"what's up?"

"It's their reinforcements! Their leader sent many messengers a few days ago and moved all the immigrants from the entire fortress. Their reinforcements are innumerable. There may be two thousand people. No! Three thousand! They will definitely come. Here to rescue."

"Three thousand reinforcements?" This incident was completely beyond Rurik's expectation. He couldn't believe that the Tavastias (which turned out to be an exaggeration), who were blown up by the Corvins, would really fight for the sake of this area. Life.

Bakhan hurriedly continued to explain: "Because their leader said that the Tavastias will not give up any newly conquered territory, even if they fight to the end with the Rus."

"Absurd, I didn't provoke them at all. They came to hurt me. In that case, they sent people to let me kill, how can I ignore it?"

I thought that by demolishing this mountain fort and killing all the defenders, the "frontier problem" in the Oulu River Basin could be solved through "physical destruction". It now appears that all of this is the general trend of the wheels of history rolling forward, and the fateful battle between the Rus and the Tavastia is inevitable.

Such an enemy, Rurik, is quite admired. In the end, he is the ancestor of Finland~www.mtlnovel.com~ The courage is worth admiring, but it is a pity that the strength of the two sides is seriously unequal.

Rurik continued to inquire and learned more details about the enemy's reinforcements. He even knew that the leader of the Tavastia was named Watkad, who occupied the Grey Squirrel Hill Fort, slaughtered and looted the local Corvin and Ross fishermen. The leader of the Tavasti runner-up was named Vatyara, and the two men can be determined from their names as brothers.

This crusade was famous for the Rus army division, and its legitimacy was very reasonable. Lurik had already adopted some extreme methods against the enemy. He did not feel any guilt, but these deeds were regarded as heroes by the soldiers.

After all, Bakkan provided information, and Rurik did not bluntly spare this person's life, but he did not kill him immediately. This person didn't want to die, and he would desperately shed all kinds of information in order to survive. Besides, this person claimed to be fully familiar with the road to the hinterland of Tavastia, leaving behind the life of a leader who begged for life at least did no harm.

The situation has changed drastically. If the enemy really organizes an army of three thousand people to save the field, will the assault on the mountain fort be detrimental to the future battle?

Rurik believed in the brotherhood of the enemy, and his younger brother was besieged. As the elder brother's leader, how could he escape the siege without heavy troops?

Now attacking the mountain fort has become a secondary purpose. To solve the side trouble, the simplest and rude method is to kill the enemy's vitality as much as possible. It is more meaningful to try to annihilate the enemy's huge force! After all, the fort was pulled out immediately.

Rurik decided to rush to hold a frontline military meeting in the evening. It would be nice to give some gifts to the trapped beasts in the mountain fort before that!

Since then, the trebuchet smashed dozens of pebbles in the past, which was regarded as a special "supper" for the enemy's simple dinner...
