Chapter 261： Kewen War II: Pig assaults the Salmon Lord's Mountain Fort

When the Russ attacked the mountain fort without breathing, the few Corvin hunters who had fled had grabbed the rope thrown down by their companions, climbed the two-meter-high stone wall, and attacked their leader Keha. Si reported terrible information.

They also showed the horrible and strange arrows of the Varangans, telling terrible news.

Kaijas was very puzzled, he didn't believe that this thing could kill people. Because he couldn't figure out what kind of bow could fire such a weird stubby arrow.

He was very suspicious of those who had escaped, but Amovaro, a very experienced hunter, died in the battle, making the four hundred men of all ages who guarded the fort amazed.

They clenched their various weapons and felt worried about the future battle.

The uneasy atmosphere continued to ferment, and the women inside the castle cried and screamed for a while.

But with the terrible roar from below the hill, the "Lord of Salmon" tribe has no time to doubt and fear.

Some hunters with good eyesight clearly saw a large group of black shadows, like a wild boar herd of an unprecedented scale, rushing towards the mountain fort.

Kejas stood on the stone wall of the mountain fort, his trembling right hand drew out the iron sword, suppressing the beating of his heart, and shouted at his tribe: "We have nowhere to go. We are the woman and the child behind us. Salmon's Master! Fight for our survival! Destroy all the Varangians!"

All the Corvin soldiers also roared rhythmically, which was regarded as a response to the Rus offensive.

This trick actually stimulated the Ross people even more. The warriors in the team who participated in the battle against the Gotland people took it for granted that they thought of the previous battle. In their hearts, they had already regarded the Corvins as enemies that needed to be taken seriously like the Gotlands.

There is no possibility of avoiding the battle between the two sides, and even the possibility of making a battle.

Otto's idea is very simple and straightforward. It is to fight with pigs and directly overwhelm the enemy to achieve a simple and rude victory.

The Ross people swarmed towards the fort. Their impact seemed chaotic, but in fact they were quite crowded. Everyone knows that one attack will tear a gap, and the rest is a unilateral battle belonging to the Rus.

Jeflo led the mercenaries to try to charge at the forefront of the formation, in order to seize the opportunity after the battle, and then show themselves well in front of the leader of Rose.

Another major reason is that the previous deceased is his own companion, and everyone is really eager for revenge.

However, more Ross warriors just want to rush into the so-called mountain fort early to **** their trophies.

A large group of people is completely vying for treasure, and the huge momentum of the attack of a cluster of three hundred warriors is a strong inspiration to each other.

On the other hand, the Kovin people in the mountain castle are already actively organizing defenses.

Kewen Chief Kehas, the little old man hiding in the wooden scaffolding behind the stone wall, stared at the position of the enemy formation with wide-eyed eyes and half of his head out.

His other hand greeted as many as fifty archers arranged for the assault.

At this moment, all the step archers lined up in a dense formation, with a pair of eyes looking at the leader's right hand, the arrow has been placed on the bow, although they can all be thrown in the right direction.

"Attention!"

"put!"

Kewen's archer was well-trained and released arrows at the same time. There was a swish sound in the air, and after a while, fifty arrows fell collectively.

The Ross people on the march realized something, and then someone yelled.

"It's an arrow! The enemy is in ambush! A little concealment!" Otto shouted immediately, holding the shield's right arm, and trying to cover his body.

Rurik is also in the advancing team, his size is too small, but long-term training, his personal physical fitness can keep up with the team's pace, but nothing more.

The sudden chaos was unexpected by Rurik, who saw arrows falling beside him with his own eyes. Followed by the second and third...

Some warriors were howling and hitting arrows, and there were also madmen who violently pulled out the arrows that were shot through their leather jackets in the arms, ignoring the pain and deliberately continued fighting.

"Damn, if I'm hit by an arrow, wouldn't I lose my life? Unless I'm wearing a tin can." Rurik gritted his teeth, rushed to a big tree, and clenched his dagger. sit down.

The war is no joke!

The well-prepared science and literati are not the weak look they were before.

Rurik felt that he had underestimated the enemy's strength. Looking at the current situation, his people were paying the price for their arrogance and recklessness.

The first wave of "Arrow Rain" stopped the Rus offensive, and it seemed that it was nothing more. It's entirely because the bows and arrows of the Corvins are generally inferior, and all the warriors of the Russ are at least wearing leather armor, as well as the cover of this wooden shield. Five of the Ross people were injured, and the wounded were able to continue fighting.

Everyone hid behind the big tree, or squatted in the snow with a wooden shield to cover their vitals. Avoidance is only temporary, it is a tactic.

After the arrow rain, the archer of the Russ went to pick up the enemy's arrows for the first time. This action undoubtedly stimulated the Kovins who were waiting and watching.

The squinting leader Kewen felt angry, and then the second wave of arrows came again.

The bony arrows smashed into the snow, or stuck into the bark.

The tribe of "Salmon Lords" among the Corvins, under the leadership of the leader Kehas, paid great attention to the training of archers. This makes this small tribe of 900 people a great advantage in tribal battles.

They are relying on concentrated shooting arrows, forcing other tribes to repeatedly suffer losses in the battles that compete for hunting grounds for many years.

The Russ suffered five waves of arrow rain in a row, and the offensive was indeed completely contained. The Russ were clearly at a loss. No one was killed at all, and no one was seriously injured to fight. Only fifteen people were slightly injured and they pulled them out. The arrow cluster can continue to fight.

Otto, who was hiding behind the tree, had no time to take care of his son for a while. When the battlefield was quiet, Otto could not help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw the little figure hidden behind the tree not far away.

Otto poked his head out and looked at the target that was not far away.

Even if it is to throw a bow, the single wooden short bow of the Kewen can throw a light arrow up to a hundred meters away, and the aim is very bad. They have no choice but to organize the archers. Their condescending attack made the bow arrow take advantage of the range.

The advantages of the Corvins are extremely limited. The Ross army led by Otto is indeed panicked. After fifty years of life, Otto is now the first time he has seen the large-scale use of bows and arrows and real tactical advantages.

He remembered the so-called arrow formation of his son Rülik. He did not expect that the "arrow formation" of the Ross people had not yet shown its power. It was as if he had encountered the arrow formation of the Corvins first, and even suffered a great loss.

"Brothers! The enemy's arrows may be gone. We continue to attack and cut off the enemy's right hand to draw the bow!"

When ordered, the hidden Ross soldier suddenly jumped out.

"Brothers! Roar, frighten the enemy!"

Otto gave an order, and more than 300 people roared deafeningly.

It wasn't until this time that the complacent Kewen archer realized that his efforts were of little use.

The angry and anxious leader Hakis looked at a group of tall and extremely strong warriors wearing metal helmets. They rushed towards the stone wall. For a while, she was very worried about whether the wall made of wooden piles and rocks Sturdy.

Kaihas, what worries him most is the gate of the mountain fort.

If it is said that where the mountain fort is the weakest, it is the gate blocked by a large number of tree trunks.

"Brothers, the Varangians are here! All the spearmen and archers are on the stone wall. Everyone else, throw stones out of the wall for me!"

"Protect our women and children and let them hide in the cellar."

"All boys, now you are fighters!"

...

The strong Russian men have clearly seen the stone wall of the Corvin. There are quite a few warriors here who have attacked the "stone wall castle" on Gotland Road. They have already had the experience of attacking similar buildings.

The moment they saw the city wall, many fighters thought of the battle more than half a year ago.

At that time, when everyone attacked and suffered a loss, it was Arik's plan to cut down the big tree as a siege hammer, and everyone succeeded in breaking through the city gate.

It was the low stone wall in front of them. The warriors felt that no complicated operations were needed, and it seemed that as long as they struggled to climb, they could directly cross it.

Because of the stone wall of the mountain fort, the relatively low Corvin thought it was already very tall. Due to the technical limitations of value building, in the current era of science and technology, it is really impossible to build the wall of the mountain fort even higher.

Facing a large group of 190 centimeters tall Ross strong men, the stone wall is relatively short.

The Corvin archers guarding the stone wall were trembling. Seeing that the enemy was approaching, the leader hurriedly ordered: "Give me all iron-headed arrows and destroy them all! I don't allow you to be stingy!"

Every iron arrow cluster is expensive, and at least ten pine bark can be exchanged for a sleeve-type iron arrow.

This is because although the Kewen people know how to smelt iron, their technical level is too bad, and their productivity can be called laboratory level. There are only a few clumsy blacksmiths in the entire "Lord of Salmon" tribe. Worse still, they lack ore and have to spend a lot of squirrel skins to go to the south to exchange rough-processed iron products with the Finns, or simply a small amount of iron ore. The stone is processed by yourself.

The entire Finnish ethnic group is undergoing innovation into the Iron Age. They entered the Iron Age directly from the Stone Age. Due to the lack of internal technological accumulation, the situation of the iron smelting industry in Finland is just starting to be very bad. The limited iron is mainly used for weapons and tools. It is a bit crazy to use it to make clusters of iron arrows.

The iron head arrow is indeed powerful, if it is not a last resort, no hunter will use it.

So many hunters kindly call it "bear hunting arrow".

The hunter who escaped could not forget the terrible death of his companions, and now everyone has no retreat and can only fight hard in grief and anger.

An arrow accurately hit the neck of a tall Warrior Rose, and everything came so suddenly.

Realizing that the warrior had suffered a fatal injury, he felt uncomfortable. He spit out blood and opened his eyes. He held the axe high and walked more than ten steps, like a felled Jinsong.

A warrior was shot and killed, followed by second and third place...

The team suffered unexpected casualties, and Otto was a little panicked at this moment.

He gritted his teeth and issued a new order urgently.

"Brothers, don't be afraid! Build a human ladder and climb over the stone wall!"

"Archer, the archer who shot Kewen!"

"Warriors, make me a turtle to resist the enemy's arrows!"

These warriors with combat experience, more than a dozen of them form a group, spontaneously forming a fighting group.

The Rus have little knowledge of the Romans, and they have no knowledge of the combat routines of the Roman infantry hundreds of years ago. However, the routines of war in the Cold Weapon Age are similar, and the Rus people also play tortoise shell formations, and they use tortoises to name their formations. The buckler of the Roths is deliberately designed to cover its vitals, and the bulge in the center of the shield can also be used as a blunt weapon to block counterattacks. Its covering area is not large, and it can't do the square tortoise formation of the ancient Roman legion.

More than a dozen Ross people gathered to organize the shields, and they steadily moved forward with chants.

A large number of arrows slammed directly on the shield, and the Ruth threw it forward.

Immediately afterwards, the Corvin began to encounter arrows thrown by the Rus.

Those boys who tried to throw stones at the wall were the first to suffer. Soon, the Ross people no longer worried about the harassment of the falling stones, and inside the stone wall there was already a boy vomiting blood with an arrow.

More than a dozen "tortoises" approached the stone wall steadily, but the warrior realized through the gap of the shield and realized that the enemy was already preparing a big stone, and couldn't help feeling nervous.

At the same time, Yevlo and all the mercenaries, who had retreated in the face of the enemy, were called to their side by Lulik urgently.

Yevlo asked astutely: "Master, the war is tight now. What do you tell us to do?"

Rurik looked at all the mercenaries with crossbows, he knew exactly what these guys thought.

He thought for a while and said: "Maybe the battle will be very difficult for a while. Your job is to get close to the stone wall. You must shoot the enemy accurately. Listen, shooting the enemy on the stone wall is the most effective for the Russ. Good support."

Everyone understood, and heavy crossbow arrows were inserted into the arrow slot one after another.

Finally, Rurik, who was hiding behind the tree, did not forget to add another sentence: "You are not from Mellaren, and you are not from another tribe. You are the Ross people, I admit you!"

The gold master has such a rhetoric, and everyone is in a good mood. Therefore, those who are fighting now and those who died suddenly are all of their own clan.

So far the mercenaries have completely achieved the same hatred of the enemy.

Evlo received a conclusive order and began a real fire support.

The "tortoises" of the Ross people steadily penetrated under the stone wall of the Corvin people, and they were immediately beaten by each other.

Some huge stones were thrown down, and there was a stab at it.

Some Ross warriors were injured, and some grabbed the obsidian spearhead of the Corvin, and dragged the spear and others to the outside of the stone wall. The Kewen warrior who had not yet reacted was immediately beheaded by the steel sword.

But there were also Ross warriors who were directly smashed with their heads by a big rock and lost their lives on the spot.

The "tortoise" of the Ross people has already succeeded.

The "tortoise" resists the stone wall The more than ten people who make up the "tortoise" are scattered. Those who know how to cooperate kneel on the ground, using their back as a stepping stone for their companions.

At the beginning, the first Ross warrior stood on the stone wall, and the attackers were very happy to see the feats of their companions, although the first man was pushed down by the enemy's short spear and fell heavily to the ground. He got up, feeling that his badly damaged chain mail had saved his life, endured the pain in his chest, and continued to participate in the battle.

The Ross people who temporarily boarded the stone wall were pushed down by the Kewen, but the defense of the Kewen was already riddled with holes.

The leader Kehas has personally participated in the battle, and his two sons are also commanding in different positions.

The Kewen people are already exhausted, and in order to survive, they have to check it down.

However, how long can their persistence last?

Kaihas felt that he had encountered the most terrifying enemy in his life, and maybe everything would be destroyed! Everything the tribes worked hard for will be destroyed by the Varanga. He led the tribe, resisted in grief and anger, even if he was too tired to vomit blood and died.
