Chapter 570： The Ross Army is finally here

Chapter 570 The Russ Army Is Finally Here

The Ross army marched on the new green grass by the river, stepped on the gravel and dirt, and gradually lost the old gray squirrel fortress.

Some soldiers in the team set foot on this road for the second time. Compared with that winter war, and the expedition this spring is blooming, the march has become a bit more laborious.

If Lurik did not prepare the army for a certain amount, the army would have to find a way to get food on the spot before moving forward because of the shortage of supplies.

All fighters have a backpack made of linen, stuffed with dried salted fish, prefabricated oatmeal, and even simple oats. These rations generally weigh more than ten pounds.

They actually carried a heavy bag on their backs. Fortunately, the strong physique acquired through hunting, logging, and paddling made them have no complaints about becoming "Mules of the Principality".

This is not the first time that everyone has carried out an expeditionary military operation. To maintain sufficient rations to support long-term battles, young and old fighters have reached a consensus.

Those children, no matter they were boys or girls, they were carrying heavy bags, panting and catching up with the team. Some children put their equipment on the trolleys that transport heavy weapons, which reduces some physical energy consumption, and the effect is ultimately limited.

Rurik didn't give any reassurance to their encounter, but urged them severely, forcing them to stop their procrastination.

But the team's fatigue gradually became apparent, and they wanted to hit the target under the wooden wall and immediately launched an attack. Obviously, this was not a trick.

"Sitting the city is the worst strategy. Maybe when the soldiers are coming down the city, I should think of a good way to win."

Rurik walked almost the entire journey on the march. He felt his ankle gradually sore, and the soldiers who wanted to come to him probably did so.

Some soldiers of the Russian Army wrapped burlap around their calves, and the skill of leggings was not popularized by the whole army. Quite a few soldiers didn't even have time to clean their blood-stained coats. Now the blood stains on the coats have turned black.

The image of the army has become a little sloppy. When the soft light of the setting sun gleams on the earth, immersed in the tiring sunset are the swaying figures marching along the river.

Rurik kept moving, and Jeflo didn't want to make any suggestions. Goodbye Arik and his guys are still moving forward, let alone say.

It was getting late, and Jeflo finally approached his master: "My lord, it seems that we can't get to the enemy's mountain fort today. The night is coming, brothers are very tired, we..."

"Resting? Of course. But I have to walk again."

"Ok."

"Hold on." Rurik suddenly ordered: "Go and inform Arik in front of him. If night falls, he will stop and camp. Run."

"Yes."

The Ross army trooped into a long snake formation for nearly three kilometers.

The current Russ army is really weak. Those children who are dragged to the battlefield are after all the previous marching, **** battles and limited rest. After all, they have severely overdrawn their inadequate physical energy. They have become real crane tails.

On the other hand, the first banner team led by Arik, these unruly and rebellious brawny men, they are still fearless mad bears, and they are rushing tirelessly.

The serpent-like team gradually assembled and formed a camp about 500 meters long on a relatively wide river beach.

A large number of bonfires are lit, and people who have walked the tortuous and rugged roads throughout the day can finally sit down and squeeze their feet.

By the side of a huge bonfire, Rurik was busy eating dried fish, his eyes still watching whether the wheat in the pottery urn was cooked.

Of course, Arik also ate the dried fish that he brought with him, but he had quite a bit of criticism about today's march, and he also had his own thoughts.

"Brother, our actions are too slow. I remember that we rushed to Grey Squirrel Hill in one day."

The parties to the war were sitting by the campfire, and Metzasta was very uncomfortable. Over the years, the defeated and surrendered leader learned Gnossi, and he could basically hear the communication of the Ross people.

Mezzasta smiled bitterly: "That year, you pulled the sled and walked on the ice river. The road was so smooth! In my opinion, the Russ army appeared suddenly, and we had no defense at all."

This drew Arik’s attention: "So what you mean is that the new Tavastias are not prepared for our attack."

"Maybe. Those guys are stronger than us."

"They will be defensive! They must be defensive." Rurik stared at the flames, with an extremely determined attitude.

"Precaution? It's not easy to defeat by me. I have suggestions." As he said, Arik turned his head and stared at his brother.

"You...you look at me like that? I'm afraid that you would tear down the mountain fort if you wanted to lead a team?"

"Why not?"

"You should be cautious and follow my army."

"No! We should show up suddenly and launch a surprise attack." Arik also wanted to make some explanations. After all, he actually expressed his hope for the first effort to defeat the enemy.

Rurik had to think about his cousin's proposal. He was actually very worried that after the enemy had fled back the same way, he would take Xiruan Sa Yazi and ran away. If one's own army drags on a little longer, it won't be good to make a move in the end.

Many people on this marching road found the traces left by the enemy when they flee, and they concluded that the marching road was correct.

"Well, you take the first banner team and kill it." Ruriek sighed slightly, which was regarded as conquering the old man.

"Okay, let's take a break and act immediately."

"Huh? So anxious?"

"I'm afraid the enemy will escape quickly. I will pursue it lightly and take down the fortress as soon as possible."

Rurik frowned slightly again: "Advance lightly? Without heavy weapons, the fort is not easy to fight."

"Yes." Mechasta deliberately yelled: "That is the mountain fort built by us after all. In our battles many years ago, my people at least caused you casualties. If our army rashly attacks, Tavas is stronger than me. The Tiyas will..."

"Shut up!" Arik furiously: "You are a defeated man."

Rurik sullenly said, "But what he said is reasonable."

"It doesn't matter. I just want a sudden attack. Brother, you are optimistic. When your large forces arrive, you will see our flag flying on the wooden wall of the mountain fort."

Rurik couldn't really tell this guy, especially on the issue of war. He knew that even if he was a real duke, he couldn't just order the elite and powerful men of the First Banner to subdue him.

The core of the Rus Principality, the Rus people, are never monolithic inside! Of course, the young people admire Rurik, who brought everyone a prosperous life, and also admire Arik, who led everyone to a **** battle.

Many young people are bloodthirsty, and sometimes Rurik finds them psychopathic.

Simply let these literal guys who are not afraid of death go desperately. They finally fought all the battles. The remaining larger and thriving boys naturally only retain loyalty to the Duke of Rose himself.

Arik didn't know that behind the old brother's seemingly agreeable promise, there was a thick blackness in this respect.

Ross’s river beach camp fell asleep, and Biyunni verbally supported Arik’s raid decision. He himself respected Arik, a fighting madman. He wanted to bring his Balmerk brothers to participate. After all, the reality was a ruthless face slap.

The brawny men who claimed to have strong physique and defeated Balmerk in Northumbria, Britain, finally realized that they were not good at marching long distances in a short period of time with two legs. Although they have extremely strong endurance, long marching, less sleep and a big battle are three-pronged, and endurance also has a limit.

Now the location of the camp is not far from the target. After all, everyone has walked the whole day, and then insisted on the night to reach the old gray squirrel hill fort.

The glory of the vanguard of the first battle was taken by Arik's First Banner. This group of Ross Principality has the most combat experience. Forty percent are veterans who have participated in all the Russian foreign wars within five years. They awakened in the last stage of the night.

They threw down most of the supplies, only a little dried fish and leather water bags for drinking, and set off with light weapons and equipment.

Among the five hundred brothers, there are only more than 30 light crossbowmen who are seconded from the shooting flag team (the 30 are all from the Mercenary Guard of Rurik), and there are more than 20 people with their own short wooden bows. .

Quite strangely, they carried a batch of patchwork planks, which were "giant arrow shields", and Arik needed this to cover the attack.

Arik has a set of never-reversible siege techniques. This battle is considered to be another attack on the Gray Squirrel Fortress, so reapplication of the technique will surely win quickly!

Soon, the attacking Ross Army Warriors First Banner team encountered the Tavastia Forest Prowler who was arranged in the woods near the mountain fort.

After losing the battle, Vatyara was determined to hold on. He became cautious, so that he began to deploy sentries.

In the dim light of the morning, the sentry spotted the team advancing along the river beach, and immediately ran back to the fort, feeling that something was wrong.

At that time, the Grey Squirrel Hill Fort had become dilapidated after being occupied by Tavastia, and it was expanded after it was occupied by Tavastia. This is especially reflected in the more rigorous city defense work.

How to reinforce wooden walls? Dig the soil!

It doesn't matter if the soil is excavated to reinforce the foundation, there is a circle of defensive trenches around the entire mountain fort.

A gate and a small gate were built in the mountain fort. The woods near the mountain fort were cut clean, and even the humus layer on the ground was cleared.

Why? As a result, the guardian's sight is naturally expanded. Secondly, some land has been simply planed, but there are a few onion heads just planted in it!

Although the immigrants were evacuated under the order of Vatyara, they had already started farming operations before they evacuated, even if the climate in this area was too cold.

The sentries ran back, yelling as they ran.

Their shouts completely broke the tranquility of the morning, and completely ruined Vatyara's last dream.

The tranquility of the entire mountain fort was over, and all the Tavastia fighters who were stationed stood up.

The old and the young, they guarded the new territory they had just eaten with a complicated mood. Now a large number of people holding bows walked up the wooden wall, as if a flock of sparrows were covered with branches.

Soon, after walking through the last forest, Arik has fully insight into the situation ahead.

"Boss, we are here." A warrior pointed at the exposed mountain fort with a sword.

"Hao Le!" Arik glanced at the sun that was beginning to rise, the morning mist was quickly dissipating, and the hazy figure of the mountain fort was also flashing.

He carried a round shield like a tortoise shell, and slowly pulled out his swords with his back facing the brothers behind him.

The buzzing of drawing swords is simply the most beautiful echo. The brothers of the First Banner Team were overjoyed. Everyone had the honor to fight under the rising sun. Glory is inevitable. After defeating the enemy, the brothers naturally have the right to choose the trophy first.

Holding two swords in his hands, Arik led more than a dozen brothers out of the edge of the forest suddenly and stepped on the open ground outside the Grey Squirrel Hill.

Although the situation had changed a bit, he saw that the overall structure of the mountain fort was still the same.

"Look! Brothers. Look at the bunch of turtledoves standing on those wooden walls."

"Our defeated general actually wants to defend the city." Someone yelled disdainfully.

Someone also cautioned: "They are really prepared. We still have to hit the arrow when we attack rashly. Even if we are all in armor, their arrows can still cause trouble if they reach the wall."

"It doesn't matter, we also came prepared. Now follow me up and scare them!"

Arik was really determined to win. He took more than a dozen people and walked more than a dozen cloths, and then yelled.

Looking at the mountain castle again, Vatyara, who was standing cautiously on the wall, frowned.

"Are the Ross people mocking us? Does anyone know the language of the Varangans?"

How does the poor group of Tavastia warriors who saw the sea for the first time understand the shouts of the heroes at sea?

But the actions of the Ross people they saw next, everyone knew that it must be a humiliation.

It turned out that Arik deliberately took his brothers to open his pants, and in the eyes of the Tavastia, there was a group of white flowers in the distance. It turned out to be...

"You should humiliate us! Come! Shoot them!" Watyara ordered.

Although the distance is far away, does such humiliation mean not to fight back?

Vatyara assembled all the archers on the wooden wall. He had nearly two hundred archers and five thousand arrows.

The short wooden bow weighs around 20 pounds, but fortunately, it shoots a light arrow, and the arrow can fly a long distance.

There was a whistling sound from the sky, and Arik hurriedly lifted his pants. Unexpectedly, some of the hapless brothers were hit in the head. They knelt down while holding their wounds, and were dragged back by the brothers.

Who would have thought that the first wounded of the Russ Army appeared, and the wounded would still be injured?

This person was only slightly wounded, and Arik personally drew out the bones and arrows to greet the soldier to stay aside and rest.

The horrified person looked at Arik and suddenly laughed again, which caused more people to giggle.

"What are you laughing at? Damn, I really underestimated them."

"It's okay." The first laughing warrior yelled, "The tree will be cut down soon. Their arrows are indeed stronger than the Corvin, but their wooden door will be knocked open by us. Then the brothers rushed in. Cut and kill wantonly."

"Very well Arik nodded, just before a big tree collapsed, and the forest land was shaken.

The Ross people seem to jump out just for humiliation? Vatyara felt that his counterattack had severely dampened the spirit of the Ross people, and the poor Tavastia fighters cheered for this round of volleys.

There were more than a hundred arrows on the flat ground. In fact, only two arrows took advantage of the wind, and only one arrow brought painless losses to the Ross people.

Vatyara knew that the enemy would not give up, and only the role of scouts appeared. There must be a large number of enemies hidden in the forest ahead, and the war will inevitably break out today.

"Brothers! Get ready to fight."

He felt the shaking of the earth and sensed the crisis. Soon, the Ross army really left the woods, shocked all the defenders of the fortress to be vigilant, and the string-controlling hands tremble.

Arik was still holding his double swords, and the steel sword in his right hand suddenly swung: "Rose! Go!"

More than two dozen people were wearing chain mail and then assaulted the brawny man wrapped in black bear skin. They were reasonably **** with twine and carried a large pine tree that had just been cut down.

Beside him are a group of people holding shields, and in front of them are more than 30 warriors holding large arrow shields. A large number of ordinary warriors marched forward with their shields, and those with bows and crossbows followed the shield bearers.

Arik's men opened a large formation that seemed loose but guarded the "pine siege hammer", and began to attack the arrows thrown by the enemy.

Although Arik suddenly noticed that this group of enemies had suddenly become brave as soon as the battle started, he felt a little strenuous, and he was content to be able to fight against the enemy with his true strength.

Because of this kind of battle, everyone's victory will become glorious!
