Rise of Rurik Chapter 894

What is a real berserker like? Take off your shirt to reveal an exaggerated tattoo? Drink weird mushroom soup and become violent?

Grund took his men into battle as a tactical reserve. Most of them wore chain mail reinforced with iron sheets, and what was more, the iron sheets were already the thickness of iron plates.

All of them wear reinforced iron helmets, and there is a ring of mail protection around their necks.

The most eye-catching is the helmet of these people, which has a more advanced decoration - a bear skull.

The maxillary fangs of brown bears or common people have become the brim of the hat, and the skull of the bear has become a special bone helmet.

Every warrior dressed like this means that a mad bear has been killed. Such warriors are as large as three hundred! And this is the elite standing soldiers trained by Rurik. They are the backbone of the old mercenaries, and the leaders selected from the citizens and good families in the city are the new forces. The veterans bestow the spirit of the army and restrain the young soldiers from being rash. The young soldiers are just young and eager to fight bravely, and they are eager to make great achievements.

On weekdays, pampering is for the sake of terrifying and fierce battles. The soldiers will change their usual fighting style and bravely rush into the enemy's line!

Most of them don't hold shields at all, and they definitely don't need any shields because of the advantage of heavy armor. Armed with swords in one hand and battle axes in the other, they charged at the enemy screaming.

Just behind them, the soldiers of the entire Fourth Banner rushed to the Third Banner, who were struggling to stop the enemy. These soldiers from the port of Narvik proved their loyalty in battle.

"Stand still! Line up and go! Let those iron men rush first, we and the guys from the third flag team will meet!"

"Don't leave the queue! The shield in the front row is good, and the back row stands up to the brother in front."

The captain of the flag, Hellafide, commanded in a loud voice. The flag-handling officer beside him held the flag upright like a pine tree. The entire flag team must follow this flag to advance and retreat together.

It was as if history had returned to five hundred years ago, and a brigade of Roman legions were advancing.

The fact is that the flag team of the Rus army is exactly the same as the Roman legion. The entire brigade of five hundred people lined up in an infantry formation to advance and retreat together with the brigade flag.

Ross's side is similar, and makes some adjustments according to his own situation.

For example, against a barbarian who is rushing, you can use the same brutal style.

The third flag team is struggling to support, and the military training on weekdays shows a good defensive advantage at this moment.

On the other side of the battlefield, even if Karl, the "Crazy Bear" who launched a decisive counterattack, brought his armored brothers, relying on the advantage of having more local troops, he could not prevent those fishermen's armed forces from collapsing.

Carl was convinced that this was his last battle, and if so, he should die on the battlefield.

"Odin! I salute you with my blood!" He raised his axe and shouted to cheer him up.

However, the strong impact was abruptly withstood by the Ross Army's Third Banner Team, or if he had more people, he could really cut out some of his subordinates and tore a hole in the Ross Army formation, causing an "ulcer". .

But can ulcers cause death?

The group of "Iron Men" and the Fourth Banner Team of the Standing Army were not the only ones who came to the aid of the Third Banner Team.

The Rus Army, the Russ, the Swedish Allies and the Finns have all seen that the ragged fishermen were killed by their brothers and lost their armor and armor. The enemy ran barefoot, ignoring the cry of his fallen comrades for help. Both men and women were running for their lives, so that the shield wall on the Ross side became increasingly meaningless. After all, how to chase after the shield wall?

At this time, if a cavalry unit is sent, it will definitely be able to rush up and cut the leeks indiscriminately.

The cavalry was not on this small island of Visingose, but Rurik and the other nobles were not at all panic.

Because of the strangeness of the fortress due south, as long as you look carefully at the wooden wall that is not too high, you can see some strange blue. What blue means, there is no need for any speculation.

The war situation became like this, which led to the embarrassing situation of "Crazy Bear" Carl, who was abandoned by the fishermen! Or the fishermen have never been loyal to him.

The fishermen couldn't escape subconsciously on the soft and wet island grass, and now only Karl's fighters can continue to make the swords and axes of the Rus army drink blood.

There is no honor in chasing those fishermen and hacking these cowards in their backs. It is better to turn around and kill the armored men of those enemies.

The king of abdication, Bjorn, was forced to abdicate by the strong strength of the Rus. He admitted that he was weak, and at least on this battlefield, he wanted to win some glory for himself.

The battle has become a tailwind, and Bjorn will never give up this opportunity.

Rurik did not give him any new orders, the old guy in his forties hurriedly ordered his subordinates: "Children of Melalen, follow me to charge the enemy! Kill their warriors! Take their Chainmail and sword!"

Hundreds of Swedish Mälaren Allies moved to the attacked left, causing immediate chaos in the central army.

Everyone smelled the opportunity to brush up the record, and the allies, large and small, followed the footsteps of the Melalen people and joined the siege.

However, the warrior who wanted to pick peaches was a step too late.

The warriors wearing bear heads and heavy armor went first and joined the third banner team, which was struggling to stop the enemy. Heliger, who insisted, saw this group of iron men as if he saw his family.

"Is it Grund? You're here! Help me resist them!"

But Grund had no intention of answering, and ran to him and ordered: "Let your people open some gaps and let my people rush in."

"Ah You……"

"Idiot! It's like the fortress of Goldfrehagen that attacked the Danes! I'm going to fight them!"

"Actually... ok. I know... brother. Take care!"

Heliger was very aware of what happened the year before. The battle that burned the new king's fortress in Denmark was hailed as a glorious victory, but the price of glory was a bit high.

He personally ordered his troops to take the initiative to open an opening and invited Grund and his "Iron Men" to rush out.

"Brothers! Let's go!"

Grund, holding his sword and axe high, rushed out of the gap unstoppable, toward death...

At least Heliger felt that this guy was going to die generously. The round shield he carried on his back looked like a tortoise shell with abstract crows painted on it. All the veterans in the standing army who wear this attire, they go through hundreds of battles without dying, as if they were born to death.

Standing in the position of "Crazy Bear" Karl, the battlefield became extremely anxious. He suddenly saw a hole in the enemy's army formation, and subconsciously felt that it was a hole cut out by his own people.

He took the opportunity to roar: "Brothers! Hit the gap."

The warriors who persisted in the fight at the end of Weissingser Island were under pressure from all sides. They began to squeeze into the gap. It was absolutely unexpected that a group of "iron men" swarmed out.

It is useless to chop with an axe, but to bend the blade with a sword.

Does such a warrior actually exist? Are they invincible?

Grund rushed to the front, and after he got up, there were as many as a hundred middle-level infantry soldiers. All the vital points of the soldiers were heavy armor pieces, and the armor was equivalent to 50 kilograms.

Only the elites selected from this hundred standing army can wear such armor and go into random killings. They are tall and strong as cattle. Only with such a physique can they wear this outfit to fight against the enemy.

From the standpoint of "Crazy Bear" Karl, a group of tall iron giants was killed from the Swedish army. Most of them held swords and axes, and some people simply smashed and stabbed with special long-handled tomahawks.

The battle axe is double-edged, the wooden handle is reinforced with iron sheets, the top is the spearhead, and the two sides are hot-welded spikes.

The point is not the superiority of weapons, but the fact that Ross invested in the elite reserve team that surpassed Karl the "Crazy Bear".

For Carl's army, there has always been only one "mad bear" in their hearts, who is their boss.

Now it seems that there are hundreds of "mad bears" wantonly killing their brothers, looking around there are ferocious bear heads and fangs, as well as the soldiers' heads protected by iron sheets and mail.

These "iron men" reflected terrifying light in the sun, and many people's iron armor was covered with fresh blood, and a large number of corpses lay on the same ground.

Just Grund has turned the tide of the battle, and the rest are just Berserkers showing off their heroic qualities...

The battle turned into a siege, with the 3rd and 4th flag corps and the standing army engaged in the final fight. With the help of the Swedish allies, the enemy in the encirclement has no escape.

Rurik kept his eyes fixed not far away, watching the massive beating of the underdogs on the battlefield.

He estimated that Carl, who was deliberately let go by him not long ago, is now about to be minced into minced meat in the chaos of the army.

It's just that this chaos has nothing to do with the second flag team and the Finnish flag team...

Yevlo approached his king: "Just let those messy armed men run to the fortress? We won't chase?"

"There's nothing left to hunt down. I don't want to drive them all out."

"You are kind."

"No! This is a war, and this king has a choice. Yevro, there is another siege ahead, and that Karl may die here. I only want you to join, but you can't."

"Is it someone who is worried that the bow and arrow will hurt us?" Yevro said regretfully.

"That's right. Take someone to clean up the battlefield now! Take away the wounded and the dead. As for the enemy, whether they are pretending to be dead or just injured, kill them together."

"Follow your orders!"

Suddenly, Rurik thought of one thing: "If you find a female warrior who is not dead, you will be merciful, and if you save it, I will give it to you."

"This... ok."

Rurik seems to have deliberately let thousands of armed fishermen escape. Where can they go? A smear of blue on the fort not far to the south was nothing but a Ross flag fluttering in the wind.

The fishermen armed with their heads and squirrels pinned their hopes on the protection of the fortress, and some people moved towards the scorched port. Even if they found a log to hold it, they could float away from this cursed island in the center of the lake.

They were completely dumbfounded, because what greeted them was not the open door, but the Rus army.

The Ross ship, which was holding the port, shot at the dense crowd, and the first flag soldiers standing at the head of the city shot arrows at the fleeing people.

Arik occupied the fortress of Wiesingerser without a single shot. His army was so cautious that he wanted to fight the enemy who suddenly came out of the house. As a result, he searched and found a lot of dull-eyed children.

Also, what's with the stench in this place? There was a lot of vomit on the ground.

"You are all merciful, and the children are caught alive and given to the king for a reward."

In fact, the soldiers of the first flag team wanted to take the opportunity to capture a wave of slaves. They were quite disappointed, but it was a good business to capture a group of children and get a reward from the king.

What everyone is quite surprised is where the parents of the children are.

Soon, they understood everything.

On the land battlefield, the Russ army made a loud noise, and the armed islanders were defeated like a mountain. Arik would never let this group of enemies enter the fortress, and the army occupying the fortress would shoot and kill with arrows.

Due to the north is the Swedish army in the slaughter, due to the west is the Swedish fleet controlling the port, and due to the south is the Swedish army occupying the fortress.

The panic-stricken armed fishermen have no time to analyze that Sweden and Ross are actually a concept now. They are even more powerless to think about the safety of their children who stay in the fortress. Thinking about it, they have all been killed by this group of ferocious attackers.

The armed fishermen were killed and lost their weapons. They walked to the shore of the island due east, and they all jumped into the cool lake with light clothes to try to swim ashore.

However, how many of them are exhausted and able to swim across several kilometers of icy lake?

Jumping into the lake is suicide! But Arik saw it clearly, and a large number of enemies were already fleeing by jumping into the lake.

"No, this group of people is going to run away! The first, second, and third hundred people, follow me, the others are stationed."

Arik ordered urgently, and immediately led the people to the shore due east of the island.

Seeing this, the disarmed islanders simply ran away. They became a large group of lambs to be slaughtered and surrendered to the Rus army.

However, the principled Arik was not at all reluctant to swing a butcher's knife at this group of rotten guys.

After all, over the past 12 years, the expedition to capture prisoners, especially female prisoners, has been Ross's means to expand the population. He was shocked to see a large group of women lying down indifferently here. They were so tired that they were out of breath, and they were also greatly stimulated mentally. Those rotten men are exactly the same, they just go to the grass and don't care about anything.

There are at least two thousand people who gave up resistance here.

"You group of Jotalans, lie down for me even if you surrender! As long as you stop resisting, we Russ will guarantee your safety. Those who dare to stand up will be killed immediately!"

Arik was so intimidating that he was so frightened that the armed fishermen lay down obediently.

Intimidation returned to intimidation, and the smart Arik shouted again: "None of the children you left in the fort died. If you want to see them again, just lie down for me."

Arik completed the "tough battle" very simply. He felt that it was too boring to win and missed the fierce battle in the north.

hear! The shouting came and went.

He ordered the messengers to run wildly north, informing the king that he had taken the fort.

At the same time, the battle for as many as 3,000 people to besiege Karl "Mad Bear" has come to an end.

Although the beasts were still fighting, they were besieged by the Swedish army ten times their own size, but Karl's men were defeated after holding on for a while.

A large number of corpses lay on the ground, and the last fifty or so people formed a very dense circle.

Is there any point in continuing to fight? The last warriors were panting, their will to fight nearly collapsed.

Carl was exhausted himself, and in front of him was a group of iron men dripping with blood, and more Swedish sword and shield players. He didn't kill a single enemy, for no other reason. His axe was stupefied, and those "iron men" were still alive and well.

"You have already lost! I heard that you are Carl, surrender! Or stand up and fight me one-on-one. What's the point of hiding behind the shield wall." An "Iron Man" shouted arrogantly.

"You!" Karl felt extremely insulted. "What about you? Wasn't it the one who killed me behind the armor! Damn Swedes, even a duel is unfair!"

"I'm not Swede!" Grund took off his helmet and showed his true face. "I'm a real Dane."

"The Danes?! Damn it! Can't believe that you Danes and the Swedes attacked me together?! I..."

"So ~www.mtlnovel.com~ you don't want to duel?"

"Then let's duel! Let's make a deal. If I win, let me and my brother go."

Grund naturally has no right to make this transaction. He neither affirmed nor objected, but urged: "I will take off my heavy armor, and I will deal with you with a sword and shield. Come out!"

The battle has now turned into a duel, and the besieging Rus army soldiers gathered in a large circle to appreciate the last battle of a bear.

Karl wore chainmail and walked out holding a double-edged axe in grief and anger. Grund did what he said, but he was extremely arrogant in only a single shirt. Seeing this, Carl also took off his chainmail in public.

"You can continue wearing armor." Grund's words were provocative.

"That's unfair to you." Carl shot back.

"let us start!"

Then, amid the roar of the crowd, the two Viking warriors broke out into a duel. They were similar in age, but their strengths were disparate. Grund had no intention of killing this guy. He avoided the big axe crit by moving nimbly, and finally captured him alive.

Karl was pinned down, the blade stuck to his neck: "You can kill me. The Danes..."

"I'm Grund, who serves King Ruth. My king doesn't want to kill you, at least not today. You're gone, your army is gone, and it's too late to surrender. Maybe you should have kissed my king before the war. Boots, it's not a bad thing to be his vassal."

"Alright alright……"

Mad Bear Karl has completely given up, and his last dozens of soldiers have laid down their weapons...
