Chapter 563： Assassin in the snow

Chapter 563 The Assassin in the Snowy Field

A new day, the beginning of the hunt!

Arik did not catch any alive. The Rus scouts got a lot of useful information from the killed enemy. For example, the enemy’s weaponry was far inferior to the Russ, and his vigilance was relatively low. Based on these circumstances, he dare to dare. Boldly "advance".

The real danger is approaching Tavastia hunters who are busy catching squirrels.

A group of Ross people in white robes formed a group. They held crossbows in their hands, and saw that the target was always ready for battle at any time.

Sure enough, Arik's desire to kill has begun!

Two Tavastia hunters saw a white thing swaying from a distance, thinking it was some interesting prey, and stroking it with their bows.

But suddenly more than a dozen people appeared from the snow!

The hunter didn't even have time to scream, so he fell to the ground with arrows.

The deadliest arrows naturally come from heavy crossbow arrows, which are the thick shaft of a strong man’s thumb with a cone-shaped armor-piercing arrow cluster. Huge wounds often bring quick death.

"Two prey, what shall we do?" someone asked.

Arik thought for a while: "Take the available weapons and bury the corpse. Let's find a new one."

In fact, everyone was too lazy to deal with the corpse anymore. He buried the corpse with a shovel, and complained to the boss out of breath afterwards that it was unnecessary.

Someone gasped and yelled: "Aric, we can't do this. Are you afraid that brothers will be exposed? Don't look at the 30 of us gathered together, they can't see that this is the footprint of a large group of people unless they are fools. Are you going to kill them? Are you afraid your brothers will be exposed?"

"Oh? You say that, I have to think about it."

The man lowered his face: "We...should spread terror. Let them know how good we are."

"What is your opinion?"

"These people are obviously not Kewen people. They are enemies. They should be hung up like peeled squirrels. Didn't you find that we have seized the new leather now? The squirrel skins here should be tribute to our treasures! "

Arik suddenly opened his head: "Okay! Let's do it!"

This group of Ross people who licked blood had no resistance to the killing, and they were even more happy!

Tavastia hunters wandering in the forest for profit, they don’t even know that Ross’s Avengers have arrived, and they don’t even know that they are not as simple as enemies in the eyes of the Ross people, but they should be skinned for humiliation. prey!

On the first day in the riverside forest, Arik killed as many as eleven enemy hunters, and eight **** bodies were hung from the trees. Even the Ross scouts felt disgusted by the tragedy.

But this is war, and Arik doesn't mind using such vicious methods.

If you dare to touch the interests of the Ross people, you should have this end!

The Ross people made a fire in the woods to keep warm, roasting squirrels plundered from the dead. Fortunately, they weren't crazy enough to become Hannibal, Arik still ate the oatmeal scones he brought from his hometown in Roseburg, and ate them with the snowflakes available everywhere.

The next day, they acted again!

This time, Arik successfully touched the long and narrow lake inland. There are a lot of thatched buildings not far away, which is the village of the Lord of Salmon.

"It became very strange there, like a fire." A Ross soldier lying in the snow mumbled to Arik.

Arik poked his head, thinking about the previous information of Kaihas: "The old man said that his camp was burned by the invaders. There is the cemetery of our people there, and it seems that it was indeed destroyed by them."

Although the deceased was a child of a Ross fisherman, the cause of death was also a sudden illness, but after all, it was the cemetery of the Ross people. Even destroying a child's grave would be an insult to the Ross people! Besides, the enemy destroys the servant’s cemetery, how can the Ruth as the master not counter it?

Another urged: "I saw thirty or forty people wandering. Even if we swagger over, we can kill them all."

As soon as this remark came out, at least ten people thought about it.

Others yelled: "Our Lord Rurik is too cautious! That Kehas exaggerated the enemy, and we have to wear chain armor. Such a heavy thing was meant to fight the Danes, but it turned out to be such an idiot. Weapon fighting. Or, we fight with them in armor, I want to chop off their heads!"

Everyone had a clear attitude after going back and forth. The brothers just wanted to rush to fight, just like the capital conquered this place back then.

If the leader is Rurik, he must be more cautious.

However, Arik became the leader of the scout, and the young man's head became hot, and the God of War suddenly became possessed.

Arik stood up abruptly, not too lazy to pretend: "Then do it! We swagger over and shoot them! If they dare to fight, we will kill with them!"

Originally, Rurik hoped that his cousin could be a real scout and try to figure out the enemy's reality without exposing himself.

However, what he worries the most has happened. Arik is indeed a scout, he has become a meat detective.

Arik didn't realize that this was an act of recklessness. Instead, he tried to trick the enemy's main force out, so that he would fight if he was able to fight, and if he failed, he would release his arrows and then fight and go.

Of course it is impossible to take the initiative to evacuate, but he must evacuate, and then send someone to report to the rear with information, because according to the plan made by the brother, the Ross crusade army will be killed by boat after the ice melts.

Thirty snowmen appeared on the ice, and they lined up in skirmish lines to approach the old Salmon Lord village that lacked defense.

The Tavastia hunters stationed here to rest one after another found the approaching monsters, and they began to gather, instinctively assessing the threat of the approaching.

Some people say that it is the "snowman" in the legend, and some people say that it is actually the "snow elves".

As Arik and his men approached more and more, the Tavastia hunters felt the most real threat.

Some people clamored that it was the attacker. Although it is still uncertain, many hunters believe that it is the enemy based on instinct.

Tavastiya hunters with bows still gathered one after another. They were dressed in a mess of gray-brown furs stitched together in a mess of leather, and they gathered in a mess.

"Are you the only ones? It's not enough for me to shoot slowly." Arik was a little regretful. If the enemy would stand up for forty or fifty people, he would have a big win. In fact, the enemy has less than a hundred people, and Arik is convinced that he will win.

However, he didn't order the guys to move on, instead they knelt on the spot, raising their crossbows and preparing to shoot arrows.

At this moment, a person stood out from the gray-brown crowd gathered on the opposite side. This person boldly walked forward and opened his arms to signal that he was not afraid of threats.

This person was yelling with words that he didn't understand, and Arik had no intention of talking with him, let alone keeping the so-called peace.

He raised his steel-armed crossbow and shot at the approaching person.

The heavy arrow made for piercing the armor directly hit the eye socket of the approaching person, and the person fell dead on the ice on the spot.

Upon seeing this, the Tavastia hunters who were on the string were all shocked.

"It's the enemy! The enemy has emerged from the snow!"

The Tavastia hunter hurriedly threw arrows, but Arik and others squatted in place.

Only Arik stood fearlessly, relying on his "unicorn arm" and leather gloves to wind his steel-armed crossbow with brute force, ignoring the threat of the enemy's arrows.

Those arrows hit the ice in a mess, and some of the arrow shafts simply broke by themselves! The arrow is no less than twenty steps away from the Ross, this is in Arik's calculation.

"Are you done? It's our turn!"

He muttered to himself, and then shouted: "Rosman! Wooden crossbow! Projectile!"

Even if it is a crossbow modified from a short wooden bow, it is more powerful than a normal short bow!

The European climate is indeed not suitable for compound bows, which does not mean that they cannot be used. The Roth’s wooden crossbow has also been improved with pine resin and deer tendons in terms of elasticity, and the range of the projectile has indeed been improved visible to the naked eye.

The Ross people simply used the captured arrows to return to their gods in a human way. Seven Tavastia hunters hit the arrows, and the rest of them scattered like birds and beasts.

The distance between the two sides is actually less than one hundred and five meters. At this close range, the steel crossbow can still show great power.

Three more people were hit by the projectile steel crossbow arrows, and instantly lost their fighting ability.

What is the battle like this? !

The brothers who are good at archery have been killed by the arrows of the weird snowmen that have drilled out of the snow before they fight.

The hunters ran away frantically to the upper reaches of the glacier, and one person hurriedly pulled out a strange arrow from a brother, and turned a blind eye to the brother's vomiting blood and wailing.

The Ross people also launched a chase, and three people fell to the ground with arrows during the chase.

Should one or two injured be left to ask for information? Arik thought for a while to give it up completely. His backhand was to order his men not to stay alive, and the enemy's corpses were all beheaded, nothing more, like a hunter dealing with squirrels, treating these dead as squirrels, and finally hanging upside down on the tree for the enemy to see.

Arriving here again, things are nothing but people. The Ross scouts who are cleaning the battlefield are busy seizing weapons and food. The enemy's corpses are just as Arik asked, like strips of stripped leather seals hanging on the treetops, blood dripping scarlet. Dripping to the ground and then being frozen.

As night fell, after this victory, Arik's attitude towards the invaders was nothing but contempt.

The Ross people left the cottage village and had no intention of inspecting the mountain fort that was caught in the fire.

They withdrew to the woods and gathered in the snow to discuss the next move.

Someone complained casually: "It seems that Lord Duke does overestimate the enemy. If our brothers are not fifty, but five hundred, those invaders will be wiped out."

"He's right." Someone immediately agreed, "The enemy is far weaker than we thought. In my opinion, everyone follows the footsteps left by the enemy to reach their camp. We can kill their commander, so that all enemies must Will fall into chaos."

His proposal gave Arik a very bold idea.

"Then kill their leader!" Arik barked his teeth like a wolf in the snow.

Everyone exchanged attitudes. Originally, one or two brothers were supposed to go back and report the letter. Now a chance to make a big contribution is in front of them, and no one of the brothers wants to be excluded.

They rested all night in the snowy field, one by one, they shrank into a group and hid in the snow nest.

Snow is talking! The snow is shaking!

A group of snowmen survived, and they got out of the snow.

Arik looked around: "All right? Didn't freeze to death?"

The Ross people hugged each other at peace, and immediately began a new action.

So, isn't Arik at all worried that the fleeing enemy will issue a war alert and cause a large number of enemies to appear?

He was not without worry, but coveted the great glory of the successful "Beheading Operation", ignoring all the dangers.

Yes, those enemies will scurry around when they are shot with arrows, and this kind of enemy will also bully the weaker Kewen people.

In fact, those who fled fled overnight.

When Arik had begun a new journey, the Tavastias who had fled formally informed Vatyara, who had just woken up, of the attack.

In the early morning, the comfortable spring sun is still unable to melt the snow in the mountains, forests and lakes, and the old gray squirrel hill fort controlled by the Tavastians, people who occupy this place have started new work.

The hunters who plundered the leather resources here, or the one hundred men and women who settled down here, they began to do exactly the same work as their hometown.

It seems that today is also a peaceful day.

Until the exhausted fleeing brothers ran back, yelling the news of "the snow monster good at archery".

The warmest house lives in the noble commander Vatyara. Compared to a snow monster, he can be sure that his men have suffered a terrible attack.

"Snow monster? Absurd! You are all scared stupid."

He pointed to the exhausted fighters, yelling that they were exaggerating.

No, the surrender Bakkan said very vigilantly: "My lord, this must be from the Ross."

"Ross?" He turned his head hurriedly, "The world is stuck in ice and snow, and the Roses dare to rush here? Isn't the home of the Ros in the far west? Is this reasonable?"

"I don't know. But it is their style to be good at archery."

When it was, someone who fled back threw a strange arrow that he found.

"Is this an arrow?" Vatyara fiddled with this short, strange arrow with a tail, wondering how a bow would be fired.

But seeing this arrow, the three alert surrenders all looked nervously.

Bakan screamed tremblingly: "It's the Ross people! The Ross people have this kind of arrow!"

Vatyara glanced at his words, and could see that the person's panic was not acting.

The three surrendered chiefs of Corvin are all describing their own people in the decisive battle because they have suffered a big loss by waiting for the arrow. Of course, they are obsessed with the face, but they only emphasize that they have been defeated by the Ross arrow, and they never mention this. Melee gang fights against the literati also didn't take advantage of it.

This caused Vatyara to make some misjudgments. The so-called Ruths are only powerful arrows, but when it comes to archery, the Tavastia hunters are not for nothing. He concluded that the people who stayed in the burnt mountain fort had suffered a sneak attack. A small failure could not explain much. Besides, most of the people had escaped.

However, those who fled back became more exaggerated.

The Ross people really came to retaliate. Although it is very strange, the Ross people should really come. They seem to have between one hundred and two hundred people. Maybe those guys are also catching squirrels in winter?

The Corvins either surrender or perish. The Tavastias no longer need to pursue the Corvins, and the Russ will inevitably become a new threat.

"More than a hundred Ross fighters. Since they are going to attack us, it would be a coward for my brothers to stay in the camp."

Vatyara made up his mind, he stood up and walked outdoors, and immediately began to worry about his subordinates. UU reading www.uukanshu. Com sent people to recall those who ran away hunting.

Around noon, as many as four hundred Tavastias gathered in the empty field inside this mountain bag.

Vatyara stood on the heights, as a great king gave orders: "I learned that the Ruths who have a lot of iron are coming to seek revenge. They are going to seize our hunting grounds, this is not good! Some brothers were attacked and killed by them, all the warriors. Revenge is necessary! Now they are probably approaching us, and I will take you to destroy them all. Think about the result after victory, you will all have better iron tools and become stronger!"

He refused to mention the possible bow arrow advantage that the Ruths might have, and his idea was simple, that is, taking the initiative to fight against the advancing Ruths, and with absolute advantage of troops, they will be killed.

The small book booth used by book friends before.

He will never run away! In other words, any Tavastiya military leader entrusted with a heavy responsibility will not give up his honor and lead his troops to escape, not to mention the natural resources in this area are sufficient to make the entire Tavastiya rich.

Vatyara began to organize the soldiers, just like attacking and defending against the Karelians. In addition to placing a hundred soldiers for defense, he led more than 200 people to walk in the glacier and the nearby snowy woods, hoping to make peace. The Ross people fight decisively.

He played well with his wishful thinking, and assumed that the Ross people would hit him like a wild boar running wild.

But Arik hasn’t really gotten the strength to lead thirty brothers to one against ten. The Ross people have special weapons. Based on these weapons, Arik has found out in actual combat a rather wretched, so-called inadequate manner. Means of killing the enemy. How about it? Only the victor is qualified to interpret what is full of military virtues.
