A small sled team ran wildly on the ice field. People were not worried about their mere appearance of 140 people. They were high-spirited and well-equipped.
How many seizures can be made by conquering the Karelia people? Maybe there could be plenty of deer.
Telavis brought his more than 30 warriors, and was assisted by a hundred capable soldiers of the First Standard Corps. Although the number of troops was small, the combat power was strong. Due to the experience of the last battle, the soldiers sat on the sled and talked and laughed. They reached a wonderful consensus that they would support the brothers in Xiongji Town to attack the enemy. They could not gain anything valuable.
At some point, the Russian people's view of war became fighting for the sake of fighting.
It is only natural to rescue the brother who was attacked, and it is also natural to kill the attacker. The desperate killing is to show Odin the power of a real man.
What is shooting arrows and setting traps to hunt squirrels? Bear hunting is not considered a very great honor these days.
Only crazy killing on the battlefield is considered "interesting."
On the other hand, the Karelian army that besieged Bear Festival Town after three failed charges in a row It was fully transformed into a siege war. Relying on the numerical advantage and the slowly increasing troop strength, the big leader Kaskuwe had no better way. He could only think of launching the fourth round of attack after the troop strength increased.
The young and great leader who founded the emirate did not allow the warriors who followed him to achieve a quick victory. His boasts came to nothing, and the war turned into a war of attrition that no one liked.
At least the Karelia people can afford it if they have the right location.
Reindeer are a kind of "walkable farmland", and the Karelian people obtain blood, meat, milk, leather and bones from the deer herd. The former is food and water, and the latter is the source of clothing and weapons.
As many as 30,000 reindeer were driven to the area near Bear Festival Town. After all, this area is the traditional pasture of the Karelian people. With the material support of these livestock, Caskuwei had the capital to siege the city.
Facing a fortress with a trench made of rammed earth and wood, the leader was basically helpless and could only resort to the stupid method of siege. As for when the siege would end, only God knew.
In order to prevent the people inside the fortress from coming out to look for food, they built tent strongholds around the fortress. There were often more than a dozen people standing guard and watching in turns, and a large number of Karelia were ambushed in the woods behind. warrior.
There is another important reason to support this group of people in fighting - the Bear Altar.
Most of the soldiers have a serious lack of knowledge about the regular army of the Principality of Rus. They only saw the sacred sacrificial center stolen by the enemy, and even built a fortress shamelessly.
More than 200 people were killed in the battle, and dozens more died after their injuries worsened.
Most of the Karelian warriors were originally from clans, but now that they were recruited to fight, it was really fathers, sons, and brothers who joined the battle. They saw the deaths of their relatives and friends, and saw the Holy Land being taken away, and their hearts were filled with passion.Driven by the fire of revenge, they just refused to leave.
The Qatari army was unable to capture the city, and the Romanian army inside the fortress had no intention of leaving the city to fight.
When the eighth day of the battle began, the two sides actually reached a strange tacit understanding. The station became quiet. No one took the initiative to launch an attack. Even the Russians, who had the advantage in weapons, did not bother to use a torsion slingshot. As soon as the light javelin was fired, both sides stared at each other, obviously waiting strategically.
On the tenth day of the war, on the glacial lake from the south, a white flag with blue stripes was flying!
The Karelian people with good eyesight were taken aback. The people on guard thought that they were reinforcements from the Russians. They were extremely vigilant and immediately passed on the news.
Unrestricted waiting has been eroding the authority of the big leader. When Kaskuwe heard the news, he slapped his thigh and stood up from his hiding place.
"Calling brothers, the invaders' reinforcements have arrived. We couldn't conquer their fortress, so we killed their reinforcements and made blood sacrifices to the mountain and lake gods!"
I almost went crazy. Almost all the soldiers were dispatched, and the strange movements of the Karelia people also shocked the Russian troops stationed in the fortress to board the city.
The garrison saw clearly the flags hung by the sled team. Everyone was very happy that the prince sent reinforcements, but it was a pity that there were only so many people?
On the other hand, the Karelians, who were dressed like bears, ran as fast as if they were going to a wedding.
The horns were blown, the cowhide drums were beaten fiercely, and the people at the top of the city shouted desperately, hoping that the sound would reach the small reinforcements to help them be vigilant. Although the Russians despised the Karelian army, they were not arrogant enough to fight ten of them one by one.
Not far ahead is the snow-capped lakeside, and a fortress suddenly appears. Terravis saw clearly the flags of Ross flying in the fortress, and also heard the vague noise coming from the distance. The sound meant something, and the information had been distorted by the cold wind that plundered the ice.
There is one thing that makes the DNA of all warriors tremble!
As for the First Flag Team, the brothers are about the same age. In the summer, they all dug fields to grow wheat in Mstisk, and now they work together to capture pine trees and hunt white bears in the north.
There are soldiers from the First Standard Corps in the fortress of Bear Festival Town, and there are even more reinforcements in Terravis.
One hundred warriors belong to the same centurion, and their centurion is here. The Centurion is also subordinate to the "fleet" of four platoon-level combat units, with the commander An Zai. In fact, when they arrived at the Kekisalmi stronghold of the Vips, they were also led by a centurion. They themselves constituted a fierce winter hunting army. They threw a batch of hunting results at the settlement and then sent reinforcements.
The centurion could intuitively determine that the large numbers of shaking figures were dangerous enemies.
"Attention, brothers! All you see are enemies, be ready to fight!"
After receiving the order, the brothers on the sled roared in unison,
The shields they carryThe cards were removed one after another. This time, they did not wear chainmail because of hunting. They lost a certain amount of defense and also gave everyone a lighter combat power.
Looking at the seventeen-year-old Tyravis, this boy is naturally not the first to participate in a battle. He is actually scared when facing an enemy several times his own.
He had to resort to the centurion's fighting strategy. In this way, the centurion naturally commanded the entire team.
A wonderful tactical plan was quickly formulated and put into effect. All fifteen sleds suddenly stopped on the ice field, and the soldiers began to intensively deploy personnel.
They have five bear-hunting torsion slings mounted on sleds, as many as thirty people holding wooden-arm crossbows, and almost all the remaining personnel hold short wooden bows. Their identities are hunters. Even if the short wooden bow is not a very good combat weapon, at least they are excellent hunters. The special conditions contributed to the astonishing amount of long-range weapons and equipment of this small-scale reinforcement force, and the frozen Ladoga Lake and reindeer sleds provided everyone with amazing mobility.
The sleds became launching platforms for arrows. After the personnel configuration was adjusted, the sleds began to rush towards the enemies gathered by the lake in a double column.
The sleigh was rushing, and the commander Centurion calmly gave the order: "Put up your bow! Shoot freely! Use wheel tactics and don't get entangled with them!"
Before the arrows were shot, Reinforcements have full battlefield initiative. When they approached the enemy's assembled array, they fired arrows first and then quickly retreated.
This is a special Parthian tactic. The archers never linger and do not give the enemy archers a chance to aim and shoot.
The arrows came crashing towards them. They were not dense and many arrows fell on the ice due to the wind direction. However, some of the stronger ones began to cause killings.
The torque slingshot fires a light javelin used for hunting bears. This object is a large arrow. It is longer and heavier. The kinetic energy of the slingshot is strong. The light javelin hit the confused Kareli soldiers. Some were shot through the arms, and some were shot directly through the chest.
Death came suddenly, and such a death in battle was completely beyond the imagination of the Karelia people.
At this moment, the big leader Caskuwe once again thought of the hateful arrows of the invaders during the war the year before last.
The first round of attacks ended in a circle, and the reindeer were panting. Looking at the Kajun army, their people still remained gathered, but they were clearly watching.
The two sides were shooting arrows at each other, but most of the arrows fell on the ice.
Immediately afterwards, the Ross people made some adjustments, and a new round of sprint began again.
The crossbow and the torsion slingshot became the absolute protagonists. They were launched one after another at a very suitable combat speed position, and relied on the advantage of range to give the cardinals a heavy blow.
More than 20 Qatari soldiers were either dead or injured. The soldiers who were shooting arrows in vain had no choice but to spontaneously pull away their injured brothers and retreat temporarily.
Everyone follows the instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, but the big leader Caskuwei cannot bear such humiliation.. He thought about that sad retreat again, and even thought that if he had fought with the enemy early, even if the weapons were at a disadvantage, thousands of people would not have died and still ended up fleeing.
He took his cronies to persuade the fleeing people, and finally carried an iron sword as if to kill the deserters.
He gave the order: "Charge up! Shoot arrows at the same time and fight with them in hand-to-hand combat!"
Either retreat to the woods and use insidious tactics, or actively pursue them on the ice.
The Karelia people no longer want to be cowards, they chose the former.
However, this group of Russians have lost their former recklessness.
Wearing special non-slip leather boots, as many as 600 members of the Qatari army were ordered to chase and kill on the ice. They were shooting arrows as they advanced, and a large number of bone arrows were thrown at them.
The Russians finally ate some helmets, and they could block them with shields. However, the reindeer were hit by arrows and went berserk. Two sleighs actually lost control. The reindeer were hit by arrows and ran around in pain. Everyone was thrown away. Come down.
The centurion had an idea and led the rest of the sleds to collect the fallen people. No matter whether they were injured or not, they pulled the sleds and retreated temporarily.
"Can a two-legged hunter outrun a sled? What a joke! I'll kill you after I tire you out."
The Centurion is betting on being tired. The people of Leah will pursue him because of their love for war.
The Russian army deliberately retreated southward, always staying at the edge of the enemy's wooden bow range, whetting their appetite to lure the enemy deeper.
Finally, this kite-flying tactic caught more than 200 people, and the killing harvest is now.
The reindeer were beaten wildly. The painful deer endured the exhaustion of running and continued to sprint. This time they rushed towards the crowd.
Many Russian warriors on the sleigh have taken off their bows, holding swords and spears. The sled became a kind of chariot, and the centurion and Terravis made a pact to annihilate the group of big fish caught.
It can be said that the wars Rurik commanded in the past gave junior officers a lot of things to learn, such as the pincer tactics that were transformed into annihilation. More importantly, Rurik provided a war philosophy, which is to fight a war of annihilation as much as possible.
It seems that the fleeing Ross invaders actually changed their direction, and it was too late for those who were a little tired from the pursuit to escape.
The reindeer sleigh rushed over with great force, and the soldiers of the Qatari army instinctively avoided it. However, what awaited them were crossbow sniping and spear and sword thrusts. Qatari soldiers who were close to the sleds were pierced by short spears or cut by swords. The sled team completed the outflank on both sides, opening up the escape route for the Qatari army. Then, a Russian soldier, wearing a huge iron helmet with a nose guard, got off the sled carrying a round shield and a steel sword.
"Shield wall! Now!" The centurion gave an order, and four well-trained "fleets" and one hundred warriors formed four shield wall groups, and finally merged into one.
The shield wall was advancing rapidly, and the Qatari army who was retreating in the stage attacked with all its strength, and the two sides fought together.
The steel sword is stabbing, every timeEvery poke was bloody, the Ross shield wall was like a meat grinder, and all the enemies it encountered were killed one after another.
Telavis and his vips warriors were not just spectators. They held bows and fought in the rear, shooting at the enemy's rear reinforcements and throwing arrows to disrupt the enemy's positions in the encirclement.
Next, it was just the simple killing of men...
The debate ended quickly. Bodies were lying on the ice, some of the squirming ones were still twitching, and they were killed by Ross again. The person adds a sword. The ice was radiating enthusiasm, which actually came from the evaporation of warm blood. A large area of the ice surface was covered with blood. The bloodthirsty warriors with their faces and bodies turned red, and the Karelian army fled in shock.
The centurion was covered in the enemy's blood. He wiped his blood-red face with his arm and looked sharply at the brothers on his left and right: "Tell me, did anyone die in battle? Was anyone injured?"< /p>
They told each other that they were fine, and some people said that a certain brother had suffered internal injuries.
"It is a shame for a warrior to be injured by such a person who is weaker than a bear!" He cursed secretly, then looked at the restless brothers, "Let's go! Let's pursue the victory."
p>
A mere 100 people actually broke down the offensive of 600 people, killing more than 200 people of the enemy without any death.
The Karelian people were frightened, and now Caskuve was no longer able to hold back the fleeing brothers. The Qatari troops who were waiting and watching were all withdrawing, and this withdrawal turned into a great rout.
Kaskuwe had no choice: "Let's retreat to the forest camp, organize the team and find another way!" He issued a retreat order, but the army was fleeing.
Confidence collapsed and the team dispersed, and Cascuwe had to suffer another humiliating defeat. Of course he will not accept his fate. He can still recruit more people, and there is still a chance of winning.
The Russians wanted to pursue them, but the reindeer were tortured terribly. They are animals with amazing endurance, but they ran out of energy after running wildly for a few short distances.
Telavis was very regretful. He stood on the sled and looked at the backs of the escapees and roared: "Just run away! Idiots! You Karelians are so cowardly that you only deserve to be slaves!"
p>At least Terravis could not have imagined that the Karelian people, who were called by the Covins in the past to be more powerful than the Tavastians, could be so inferior.
The reason is very simple. It is entirely because the Principality of Rus is too powerful. In fact, it is a max-level boss in the Baltic Sea who abuses people in the Arctic Circle.
The other party escaped very quickly, and there was no chance for more than a hundred brothers to pursue him.
The defenders of the Bear Festival Town Fortress enjoyed a wonderful battle in a comfortable mood, which made their already good self-confidence even more confident. If everyone is worried about the Kasbah army’s superiority in strength and takes the initiative to go out of the city to challenge, the enemy’s inferiority is clearly demonstrated. The guards now feel that they can all go out of the city to fight the opponent in a decisive battle. They can even arrogantly declare: "You two thousand people were defeated by four hundred of us." "The centurion and his close comrades were not overjoyed by the victory. They collected a batch of inferior arrows and hand-to-hand weapons.It is not surprising that the arrow clusters are bone fragments, and the spearheads are also bone fragments. The number of iron weapons is very small, which greatly challenges the perception of the Russians.
Would God Odin be satisfied with defeating an enemy of this level? They use animal bones and teeth as weapons, and bears and wild boars also use teeth as weapons. In a sense, the enemy is not a human being, but a kind of beast. The most proud first banner of the Russian army is actually conducting a special battle. Hunting.
Looking at the fortress and those defenders, it’s really hard to describe...
