Up to now, Harrow Zuosen has completely turned a blind eye to the actions of his subordinates, because he and he are searching for treasures and trying their best to kill the enemies they encounter.
His own beard was also wet with the blood of others, and the shriveled leather bag was gradually stuffed with silver coins, copper coins, and even five amber necklaces taken from the enemy's necks.
In a short period of time, more residents than the total number of Ross attackers have been killed, and this number is increasing.
However, the residents of Skokenberg are Vikings after all. Men in families that had not yet been affected began to take action. They ordered the women and children to run north immediately, leaving all the men who could hold an ax behind, and began a spontaneous counterattack.
Finally, Arik, whose face was covered in blood, finally waited for the moment he longed for.
A formidable enemy finally appeared in front of him.
Aric led more than a dozen brothers to rob the gold while being roasted in the sky full of fire. The legendary Jinshan does not seem to be here, but many people have obtained a lot of silver coins.
Their greed is difficult to satisfy. Possessing a large amount of gold and silver is a major goal in life. Fighting dangerous and powerful enemies in life-and-death battles, especially in this night battle, the Russians think this is The greatest glory.
It is best for you to win. Even if you die in battle, the battle at the last moment can be seen by the Valkyrie in the sky.
More than twenty bare-backed men, holding shields in one hand and axes in the other, looked sad and angry in their eyes.
Aric was full of blood. He pointed his bloody steel sword at the opponent and shouted: "Stupid Gotlanders, do you dare to fight with us?"
The scene suddenly froze, and after a moment, someone finally asked: "You pirates, who are you?"
"We? We are the people who have been hurt by you."
" Are you from the west side of the sea?"
"No! Brothers, come with me!" Arik said nothing. He held the shield in his left hand and held the steel tightly in his right hand. The sword rushed over with a roar.
At the same time, the hurried fishermen of Skenberg, who did not even wear leather armor, did exactly the same thing as the Russians, and more than 20 people quickly formed a shield wall.
Unfortunately, the defense line of these Skenberg people was overwhelmed by the Russians who were slightly smaller than them.
A group of young Russians in their twenties, many of whose relatives were killed by the axes of the Gotland Islanders. They at least came with the purpose of revenge, and their attack attitude was extremely determined. , let alone any kindness.
There is a basic consensus among all the young people that all Gotlanders are enemies, except slaves.
However, the slaves obtained by the slightly wealthy families during the melee and used for service were also treated as enemies and wiped out by the Russians.
Nearly a thousand women and children began to flee.Holding torches and fleeing northward, they formed a formidable scene. From a distance, it looked as if the Skenberg people had collectively become shameful cowards. The once peaceful village on the other side was already ablaze!
Aric knocked one person over, then stabbed him very skillfully with his sword, killing the enemy on the spot.
Another enemy slashed away with an ax, and Aric immediately blocked with a shield. The ax blade directly cut a huge groove in the oak shield, and his sword pierced the enemy's abdomen.
To be even more ferocious, he slashed another fallen enemy with a sword in one hand. This man was so frightened that he held a long-handled ax in both hands to block. The ax handle might be able to block an ordinary iron sword. How could it be a match for a steel sword?
Aric himself killed three people in a row, and his brothers also won.
It was in this small battle that two brothers were hacked to death by the Schickenburgers who counterattacked.
At this point, the men of Skokenburg began to fight back. They reluctantly organized an army of 300 people to try to save the remaining village, ensure that the houses would not be destroyed by the arsonist enemies, and fight to the death with the enemy. .
Due to their counterattack, twenty of the Russians who landed had been killed, and more than a hundred people insisted on fighting with injuries.
It was just wounds on their arms and legs by the enemy. The pain was not noticed by them as they fell into madness. They could not even tell whether the blood on their bodies belonged to the enemy or their own.
Twenty young men died in the battle, and the Russians did not care about such losses at all. By comparison, five hundred of the Skokenbergers had died!
Finally, a war involving the survival of Skenberg broke out.
The Russians expanded their attack area to the inland areas. Since they could not obtain satisfactory gold and silver from the homes of ordinary fishermen, all the plunderers aimed at the fortress in the highlands.
A fool also knows that if he can build a very different building, that guy must be very rich, so just rob him.
The Russians moved closer to the "castle" of Oxon Viken. The fishermen who started to fight back were frustrated in their initial counterattack, so they also began to gather together and retreat to the castle in an organized manner.
In critical moments, the people of Skenberg can only hope that their leader can help them in a life-or-death situation.
However, at this critical moment, Oxen Swiken, who was frightened the most in his life, gave the sixty warriors under his command an order to close the door tightly and prepare for battle.
In general, this Oxen is very willing to spend money on major events in life.
If there is a legendary golden mountain in Gotland, there is a small golden mountain in Oxon's "castle". Of course, "Golden Mountain" is a description, and the wealth accumulated by the Oxen-Swiken family for generations is placed in the "castle". He, his two wives, children, and the maids he bought also lived here.
Oxon gave each warrior who was willing to sacrifice his life for him a special salary of ten gold coins, and promised that as long as he defeated the unidentifiedA share of the attackers, and each survivor will be given twenty gold coins.
This time, he really experienced the feeling of powerlessness when life and death were at stake, and mountains of coins could not turn into an army of thousands of people. Coins can indeed hire an army, but how is that possible now? Count on those fishermen? Pooh! If you let them in, these fishermen who live together day and night may also become robbers!
In a sense, the main purpose of building this stone castle is to prevent the fishermen of Sikkenborg from having evil intentions. We are all Vikings. As long as we sail on the sea and encounter a fleet weaker than our own, we will feel itchy and plan to rob it.
Oxon is now as fat as a pig. After his eldest wife died, he easily used money to marry two younger wives, and the younger wives gave him sons and daughters.
He placed the eldest son born to his deceased wife in the Danish territory for the purpose of "expanding the family business" so that he could live happily there. In fact, he did not want the eldest son to disturb his good life. Besides, the family business must be inherited by the eldest son sooner or later. Now, Oxon just hopes to enjoy the rest of his life and be with the beauty all day long.
Looks like the good days are coming to an end!
He was fat and wore a coat made of expensive mink fur. He also climbed up the stone wall with a sword and shield just like he did in his youth. He witnessed a scene as terrifying as a volcanic eruption, and also saw people cursing at him under the stone wall.
"Open the door and let us in."
"You idiot, let us in quickly, otherwise we will all die."
"Oc Sen, are you still standing still at this time? Do your warriors want to sit back and watch us die?"
...
Open the door? Pooh! After seeing the horrific scene, Oxen became more determined and refused to open the door!
He even ordered his subordinates: "You guys, find rocks and sticks to block the door for me. Don't let anyone in. Don't worry, the pirates can't get in."
Then, he let people slip out through the hidden door, and made them run wildly to the north, and reported to some families in the north about the crazy attacks by the Siya people.
Oxon watched in stunned silence as a large group of people walked out of the flames. They were a mass of blackness, with the flames soaring behind them. They were like a large group of monsters born from the flames. They had only one purpose of existence - —brings destruction.
Arik was wearing chain mail, and the armor was covered with the blood of his enemies.
Like his brothers, he was dressed roughly in the heat of the fire. Everyone was very dissatisfied because they did not grab the legendary large amount of gold.
What’s more, these Gotlanders have now organized themselves and are already planning to engage in a life-and-death battle with the Russians!
Although the purpose of the operation is to destroy an enemy settlement and withdraw after grabbing the gold, everyone is excited. Even Harold Johnson is eager to have a fight with these enemies. fight.
After living a long time, lifeThere are only ten or twenty years left, and you will stay in Roseburg until you grow old? Pooh!
Haro Zuosen missed his Kanuf very much, but seeing that Rurik treated his son as a brother, he must have died in the battle, and his family would still be well taken care of.
At this moment, facing a group of enemies on the opposite side who were shirtless or wearing nothing more than animal skins, and who were obviously not ready for battle, Harold Zuosen’s reason had long been thrown aside. I feel like I am suddenly only twenty years old and it is time to fight desperately.
In daily life, wars involving more than a hundred people are rare.
Look at the enemies on the opposite side. There are at least two hundred of them.
What's more, this group of enemies is backed by a castle surrounded by stone walls. Why should the enemies set up their positions here instead of leaving like the large group of people fleeing with torches? They must be for the Guardians or something.
It should be a lot of gold! ?
Not to mention, there is a large amount of gold and silver stored in Oxon's "castle". The Russians misunderstood the reason for a large group of enemies gathering in formation, but they did not misunderstand the fact that there was gold in the "castle".
Oxon slightly revealed his two frightened eyes, he couldn't believe what he saw. He prayed that his city gate would be strong enough and that these fishermen would be able to kill the pirates.
Suddenly, Arik tapped his shield with the back of his sword, and the others couldn't help but followed suit and started tapping in exactly the same rhythm.
"rua! rua! rua..."
They roared in exactly the same rhythm, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was the temperament that a well-trained team could display.
This gave Oxen nothing but untold fear.
The Russians marched in unison while shouting slogans.
Their bucklers were arranged in a line, with the first row followed by the second and third rows. The shields of the descendants were pressed against the backs of the predecessors, forming a powerful formation.
However, it was the Russian archers who attacked first.
The twenty archers are those hunters. They can also join the battle. Shields and axes are also standard equipment.
They suddenly rushed to the front of the formation and fired arrows at the enemies who didn't know what to do.
Arrows with bone arrowheads can be used as hunting arrows, but they are too bad to be used in combat. The quality of such an arrow itself is not good, it is just that it is cheap.
The spontaneous actions of the archers are to disrupt the enemy's formation and force the enemy to raise their shields for defense.
The harassment had a certain effect, and the archers immediately retreated into the formation. Then, Arik roared and led the first row of warriors to rush over.
The shields clashed against each other and the battle began.
Nearly all the first row of Russians wore chainmail. These chainmails can withstand moderate slashes and are also effective against thrusts.
Both sidesThe wooden shields collided fiercely, and the fighting began immediately.
The ax fell from the sky and chopped the enemy's head, and the sword suddenly emerged from the gap in the shield, inflicting penetrating wounds to the enemy.
Aric is only eighteen years old, and during the battle he is as crazy as if he is possessed by the God of War. He held his shield against most of his torso and held a steel sword nearly seventy centimeters long. Arik's long experience of paddling has given him absolute arm strength and he can handle the sword with ease with one hand.
He stabbed the enemy on the other side of the shield crazily. Because it was blocked by the shield, he didn't care whether the enemy he stabbed was a friendly person, so he just continued to stab him.
The fishermen in Skokenberg immediately suffered a large number of casualties. Those who were stabbed and seriously injured fell to the ground one after another, and were trampled by their companions or enemies, and quickly lost their lives.
In this tragic collision and crazy fight, the Russians also suffered casualties.
The warriors in the first row are equipped with a large number of chain armors in order to better serve as a front-line fighting force.
However, this chainmail could not withstand the powerful and heavy thrusts. Although the swords of the Sckenberg fishermen were made of pure wrought iron, as long as the angle was tricky enough and the power was sufficient, they could penetrate the armor-clad Rus' swords. Body.
However, the chances of succeeding like this are really rare.
The fishermen in Skokenberg were not prepared for the battle at all. Now that a fight has begun, they are at a disadvantage and must continue to fight in order to survive.
The iron swords were bent in the melee, and all warriors equipped with iron swords would face this disgusting problem.
The sword-wielding fishermen had to continue fighting with their bent swords. Can they cause harm to the Russians? The answer is almost no.
Even the Russians, when they once participated in a weapon fight, they always retreated, used their feet to step on the bent sword blade into a reliable straight one, and then continued to hold the already full of gaps. Sword fighting.
Only steel swords. No matter what credit methods the Russians participating in this battle used, they got their own steel swords after all.
The steel sword itself is elastic and has an extremely hard and sharp blade. Any steel sword can cut off ordinary iron swords when tested in the blacksmith shop. It is really an advantage to use it in this battle.
In the melee, the red-eyed Ross was almost instinctively thrusting and slashing, not realizing how ferocious his steel sword was.
The people of Skenberg felt the terror of the enemy so deeply that even their own wooden shields could not withstand the thrust of the enemy's sword!
Painful wails and passionate roars filled the battlefield, and there was the sound of metal collisions everywhere.
Hundreds of warriors on both sides used a shield wall with an increasingly larger arc as a clear front line. The Russians on the attacking side tried to break through the enemy's line from the flanks, so they desperately pushed forward and compressed the line. The Sikenberg people Fighting every step of the way will eventually result in constant retreat.
Because the people of Skenberg really can’t bear it!
There are more and more corpses on the ground, the wailing injured people from Skenberg, and the trampled Luo people.The Sri Lankans directly assassinated him.
Every attacking Russian has noticed that as long as they continue to attack fiercely, the enemy's front will soon collapse. Next, the king will deal an absolute blow to the weak.
Kindness? No!
At this moment, all young people in Ross have become real BERSERKERs!
