Chapter 675： Balance after the war

"The Rise of Rurik (!

The Lord will die and the morale collapsed, and the courage of the Karelian army, which was gathered by hatred and rage, collapsed in blood.

This is a total collapse, and they are trying their best to escape the encirclement.

Those who can escape seem to have a chance, and those in the encircled circle will be ruthlessly crushed by the wheels of history.

Ross is bound to conquer Karelia, and Lurik completed this major victory a generation ahead of schedule.

Several spears pierced Esayras' body, and he was stabbed several times and fell into a pool of blood.

"I knew that, so I might as well take the tribe to retreat..."

The Great Tent tribe did not perish, but it was not far from it. The population advantage of this most populous Karelian tribe is past tense.

The men in the encirclement are being crushed into powder, and another group of Ross troops have begun to hunt down.

Once turned into a rout, the pursuers will chop their backs mercilessly, and the most exaggerated results often come from this.

The fleeing people were all dumbfounded. They saw a lot of chasers who were like themselves, they were short black-haired men, completely different from those blond giants.

Because they are Suomi.

Once upon a time, the Suomi, who tried to avoid the Karelians, got on the battleship of the Russian army and seemed to have the courage of the Rus Principality. This pursuit is not only for killing, but also for robbery.

Or the Suomi people have little desire to kill the fleeing enemy. Killing the enemy is easy. The biggest goal is to rush into the enemy’s camp. Before enjoying the enjoyment of killing all the Varyag troops lost in the blood, looting the spoils. .

Because the Duke has already said that the robbery is to **** by their ability, and the Suomi people will seize the opportunity to have the opportunity to snatch, and the trophies won will be recognized by the Duke.

Arik no longer knew how many enemies he had hacked to death. His robe was stained red with blood, and his helmet was so sticky that it exuded a peculiar smell of rust.

He has been commanding and starting to fight, the battle has turned into chaos, and the Russian army has basically turned into a personal chaos.

He finally saw that the people with the cloth strips had rushed far enough, and the reason finally returned to their heads.

"Worse, let those servants take the lead, and they will grab more!"

Arik held two swords in the chaos army, "Brothers, those Suomi people have gone to rob. Let's not love war, follow me to rob!"

He tried his best to get the brothers' attention by shouting, and after a lot of effort, he seemed to have achieved some results.

However, the first Suomi had rushed to the enemy's core camp area, and the looting had begun.

How many treasures are hidden here in the tent group built with wooden strips, linen cloth and animal skins? !

The Suomi people have been broken into pieces, they searched around with sharp weapons, and even allowed hundreds of Karelian fighters to escape.

They really had a lot to gain. Some people spotted the shivering young woman, their eyes curled up in horror, and some even held iron daggers in a state of resistance.

There were also men who hid. When the curtain of the tent was opened by the intruded Suomi fighters, they stabbed them directly with a short spear.

This is a kind of desperate resistance. The stabbed person is pulled away by his companions, and the resisting enemy is mercilessly killed by the invaders.

The women found were all disarmed. They were dragged their hair or their feet out of the tent, and then they were **** with twine.

A Suomi fighter with a bandage on his forehead controls a woman, and this woman is his trophy.

Rurik warned his subordinates not to kill indiscriminately at the bonfire last night. They did not kill indiscriminately when they arrived at Suomi's servants. The resisters would naturally kill them, and everyone else would be captured.

They are more keen to find young women. After all, many Suomi men are difficult to marry. They enthusiastically received orders to participate in this large-scale war, just to capture a woman back.

A lot of people got something, and all the inexplicable women who stayed in the tent were arrested. This arrest amounted to more than 400 people.

Once the woman was caught, and a little bit of living goods were collected from the scene, a Suomi fighter tried to leave the chaotic battlefield quickly. They escorted the prisoners to the lake by various means, which really surprised Arik, and then anger and contempt.

"This group of short women is obviously only liked by this group of dwarves..."

Arik mocked the futile style of the servant army with contemptuous eyes. He led his brothers to continue chasing and killing the maimed enemy, but the last Karelian warrior had escaped far enough. The pursuit did not last long, and finally ended when the last enemies rushed into the dark green forest in the distance.

Isotarva had collapsed, and a layer of corpses lay all over the lake, and a large area of ​​the lake had been dyed dark red by the blood stream.

Crimson warriors stood on the pile of corpses. The Russ and Balmerks, these pure Viking warriors, inspected the corpses everywhere, and found that the dead and pretending to be dead immediately stabbed to death with an arrow.

The occupied tents are full of sword-wielding warriors who wantonly destroy the tents, cut off the wooden supports, and plunder the leather to find anything that can be used.

This place has been explored by Suomi and the Vips, and the following pure Viking warriors are picking up leftovers in a sense. The brothers wanted to get a lot of leather, but all they didn't want to find were rubbish.

Negative emotions are spreading, and the blood-stained Viking warriors criticize the servants for robbing too much. The so-called sit and watch the remnants escape successfully in order to rob them.

Arik’s head was hot, and more than a dozen brothers were already complaining to him that they could not find any useful trophies.

He bumped into the same Jeflo who was collecting the trophies with his buddies in the camp of Isothalva, and the two met quietly.

The old man I saw, Yevlo was kindly greeted, but of course he was criticized.

"What did you Suomi people do? I took away all the good things, so that my brothers couldn't get anything."

Evlo was taken aback, and when it came to looting the loot, the reality of the barrenness made him angry: "Brother, you are blaming us for robbing too much. God is watching us, you can't mess around. Say."

"Why don't you talk nonsense? I saw your people rush the fastest, and you are busy looting before the enemy is wiped out."

"Does it mean that we robbed a group of slaves? Would you like those small women?"

"Of course I don't like it." Arik continued to criticize: "You must have snatched gold and silver. Now my brothers and I can only **** a batch of rags."

"You? You are slandering me!" Jevlo plunged his sword directly into the ground in anger, took off his helmet and opened his arms, "Master Rurik will make a judgment! It was the adults who gave the order, and everyone looted and robbed by their ability. Those who are not there are not allowed to complain. Besides, we did not grab the gold and silver. The Karelians are incredibly poor. I'm standing here and you can search my body."

"You..." Arik was suppressed, mainly because the brother gave the order. As a cousin, he shouldn’t disobey the orders of his cousin as a duke, and Arik, who prides himself on being generous, doesn’t want to leave bad words to others.

He hesitated for a while, and sighed: "However, we did not completely wipe out the enemy. You are responsible."

"I have the responsibility. The pincer tactics let off some enemies because of the mistakes of the troops I was in charge. As for how much responsibility I have and what punishment I should accept, this matter should be judged by the Lord Duke."

Having said that, Arik felt very uncomfortable, so he didn't intend to ask any more questions.

The battle was over, and the sun finally shone on the post-war ground at noon on a cloudy day.

The enemy's wounded will eventually die from excessive blood loss, and it is a cruel mercy that the Ross army will make up the knife.

Even the severely wounded of the Russ Army, those who were obviously only a breather, were given to death by their companions to end their pain.

The war was so cruel, and the lake breeze began to carry a **** atmosphere. In the war of the cold weapon age, when the battle is over, the battlefield is always muddy, and the tragic appearance of flesh and blood is like the mud of a meat grinder.

However, Rurik was completely immune to such a cruel scene, and the fleet had all broken down, and he took all subsequent soldiers to land.

"Is this the enemy's core camp? They are really a polar nomadic tribe..."

The clusters of cone-shaped tents made Rurik first think of the Inuit people. Wait a minute. When it comes to blood and culture, Karelians and Inuit people do have a relationship, so there is not enough commonality in building tents. Surprising.

Soon Rurik saw the Suomi fighters sitting on the ground. The battle was over, and the men who had grabbed some trophies were chatting happily. There are still a group of women sitting here, who are clearly captives. Their ending can be guessed by Rick, and that kind of ending is what he would like to see.

The work of cleaning the battlefield is in full swing, and an astonishing number of arrows are being meticulously recovered. Regardless of whether it is an enemy or your own arrow, whether it is easy to use or broken, the arrow hunter is patiently searching for it.

The enemy's arrows are of poor quality. The only thing that satisfies the searcher is that the clusters of enemy arrows are mostly deer bone fragments that have been carefully polished. The bone fragments are wide-bladed. This kind of arrow has a good hunting effect. It is also possible to come to kill the enemy, but the quality of the enemy's bow is really pulling the hips.

A large number of short wooden bows were seized. Compared with the bow itself, the bowstring is the most willing to search for.

The Karelian bows are of poor quality, and it is good to be used as a fire stick, but more than two thousand bowstrings were found, and the number surprised everyone.

Reindeer are full of treasures, and the economic life of Karelians almost depends on reindeer breeding. Reindeer can be described as the only large herbivore in North Asia and Northern Europe. The stag tends to be particularly tall and strong. The large tendon on its back is used. The Karelians use it as a special strong rope and also used to make bowstrings.

Deer tendon bowstring may not be as good as beef tendon. Its quality is at least far better than that of oil-soaked hemp rope. He was surprised to find so many ready-made bowstrings!

There were surprises and surprises. What shocked the entire Russian army was that everyone wanted to capture an astonishing number of reindeer here, but only a few dozen were found. What happened? Don't the Karelians here live on reindeer?

What's more peculiar is that Rurik ordered his men to ban the killing of women and children, but apart from Suomi and the Vips servants who caught three to four hundred women with panic eyes, there were really no other prisoners.

Some old people appeared among the fallen enemies, except for the entire group of tents, the enemy cubs and other women were no longer found.

The brothers did not kill indiscriminately, and there is no evidence of indiscriminate killing. Facts have proved that when the Russian army landed, the entire tent group had already disappeared!

As for the women who have been captured in an alarming number, the situation is also extremely abnormal.

Without Lauriek’s personal investigation, Jeflo has brought surprising results of the interrogation, and there is even a major news brought by Terravis on behalf of the Vips.

The battle has completely ended, and thousands of corpses have been inspected.

The dead bodies of the Russian army were pulled out and carried to an empty lake bank in a matrix arrangement.

It is a pity that Rurik hopes that the Viking brothers in the army will have no loss, and there are still ten unlucky people who have been pierced by the enemy's spearhead in the neck. The dead are basically killed by this.

Most of the deaths came from the Suomi people. There were one hundred and fifty short corpses lying here. Their heads were all tied with red bandages. The headgear allowed the corpse pickers to confirm their identity. There are so many wounds on their bodies, and onlookers can be sure that if they wear metal chain mail when fighting, most of the dead will not die.

In the chaos, the fighting power of the Suomi and Karelians was half a catty. Even if the former accepted a part of the change, however, they were faced with opponents that were trapped and still fighting. They are like roosters pecking at each other, and the chaos is extremely vicious.

This was the case for all the losses of the Russian army. The total number of deaths was less than 200, and there were also 200 wounded. Almost all the wounded were Suomi's servants.

As for the enemy's corpse, the exhausted Russ army did not carry the corpse for detailed statistics. People have made estimates that 3,000 people would have to be killed to judge the enemy.

In the evening, filthy arrogant soldiers lit a huge bonfire. They looked down on the enemy’s broken tents, and resented the enemy’s poverty. They couldn’t get much good stuff. They used the tent materials as firewood, some The rotten leather is also used as fuel, causing the campfire to still emit a special smell similar to barbecue.

The largest bonfire place, Liurik, held a post-war military meeting here.

The setting sun does not exist. It should be dusk, and the western sky is dark yellow. Experienced people feel that there will be a rain in the future. The weather in August is like this, a rain is a cold. Anyone who knows a little bit about the eastern region far away from Roseburg’s hometown knows that September in the Julian calendar is the eastern rainy season. There will be a high probability of rain in the first half of the month, and the world will become muddy. When a war is launched at this time, the soldiers really have to fight in the cold, damp, and mud. Maybe the soldiers will lose their lives because of the cold and sudden and inexplicable diseases if they are not killed in the battle.

The flame dissipated the cold of the night.

Rurik saw that everyone was not happy after victory, and he knew very well what the captains and centurions were thinking.

Of course, he knew more about the enemy, which was a series of news that Jeflo had easily heard from a group of female prisoners. The contents of those messages are basically the same, and it can be concluded that these messages are true.

Many people suffocated their stomachs, and when Rurik asked the brothers to speak freely, everyone yelled and made noise at the campfire.

"Take it slowly, you say one by one!" Rurik ordered.

They were asked to talk about their views on the battle in order, especially the reasons for their unhappiness.

Those who have the right to meet here, perhaps most of them have reservations, that is, seeing Arik and Hellafeld grumbling unreservedly, the brothers followed up without any scruples.

Many fishermen are pointing at Suomi's servants, accusing them of not being busy killing the enemy and looting, resulting in incomplete hunting and letting some people escape.

As for dismissing the enemy as being too poor, it is quite another matter.

This is a bad signal!

Rurik gritted his teeth and asked himself, how did the proud Vikings look down on a group of Finnish servants? After all, the enemy in the battle is indistinguishable from the servant army in terms of face to face. The accusations made by the Viking fighters are not unreasonable. Since the servants dare to be out of step with the main force, is it worth it? !

"I have to coordinate this matter. If the interests of some people must be sacrificed, then the Suomi people..."

He thought about it, shook the restless people calmly, and then preached: "Suomi, Vips, they have captured some captives. After my investigation, I found that these women are slaves to the Karelians! They are not slaves themselves, but women caught from other places, even women who were given to the Karelians as tributes. Some of them were originally Vips or Suomi. Our servants The fighters found their separated people, and that's why they didn't block the encirclement."

This is a fact, but only a very small part of the fact. The children of slaves are still slaves, and this is how the Karelians handle it here. The slaves did come from the Vips and Suomi, and a large part of them were actually from the Tavastians who had completely collapsed.

Slaves, these female slaves dared not go to war, and they hardly had their own thoughts, like a meek lamb being led away by a new conqueror. They were cowardly at first, and then showed obedience, until they learned that the conquerors would regard themselves as wives who could have children, and the situation changed completely.

Rurik was very satisfied with the actions of the servant army. Yu Sen. He felt that this was the last warmth on the violent battlefield. With reason, the Suomi community could get a group of young women with fertility.

This is a war, let's calculate the economic account carefully!

Let the servant army get the spoils, which is a useful means for the monarch to maintain the loyalty of the opponent, and in most cases it is more effective than military deterrence. The expansion of Rome is this set of tricks. The Roman army naturally eats meat all the time, and the excellent servants also eat meat dregs all the time. Even the worst servants also have broth to drink.

However, if your basic army, especially the brothers who came out of Old Roseburg, feel that the Duke has treated the brothers badly, then the monarch is shaking his ruling foundation.

It is undeniable that this sign seems to have sprouted.

Rurik continued his words: "The servant warriors can enjoy the women they have captured, the Ross, the Balmerks, the Mellaren, all the warriors of Odin, I know what kind of woman you like! You guys! You must be tall and young, good-looking and good at working. You like girls of the same race, and you like Slav girls of the same race. You don’t even look down on these short women, so let the servants get it! Other than that! , They will be deprived of all their seizures! This is the punishment for their wrong actions!"

If this is the case, the pure Viking warriors in the team are all satisfied. To be fair, the servant army killed more than a hundred people. They shed blood for the Duchy of Ross, and it is only natural to get some spoils. However, the guilt is also very serious, so that the merits and demerits are equal, the language of those Viking warriors is not good enough, and the short prisoners, let the servant army take it away.

After all, the Vikings such as the Roths and Balmerks are no better than before, and the brothers already have the financial ability to choose and choose. If you must marry a woman, isn't there a good way out there? They found that they could run to Novgorod with a fortune and buy their daughter's marriage from a local Slavic farmer. This is actually a win-win choice. The Viking warriors can get a good-looking woman as their wife, and the wife's maiden family also needs in-law relationship to be sheltered by the Viking conquerors.

Due to their aesthetics, the first choice for the identity of their wives is the Viking family, the second is the Slavic women, and the last is these short women from the East.

As for the fact that the high priest of the Principality is a deer breeder, this is a special case, or a special case appointed by Odin, everyone is convinced.

If people in the society of the Principality of Russ are invisibly divided into three, six or nine grades because of their origins, their ranks will depend on their mothers. It is not surprising that a Viking man from the Duchy of Ross married two women. Both parents are Vikings, this kind of person has the highest status. On the one hand, the identity of the Slavs is the second place, and the other is the Finn in the broad sense of the Orient. The last thing is that both parents are from the east.

Regardless of their ethnicity, the hereditary nobles have another chain of contempt for their noble status defined by the duke.

The Rus Principality is currently unable to achieve the so-called equality of all people. Rülik, who gave up his naive delusion, based on realistic considerations. He knew he must support the high and low of the crowd in the ninth century. He can temporarily not set a very clear hierarchy of monarchs, monarchs, ministers and ministers, and the unspoken rules of society's spontaneous birth can be inappropriately denied.

The interests of the Vikings in the Principality must be maximized, and among them, the people of Ross must enjoy the highest benefits. This is the basic disk of the Principality. Although the basic disk seems to be small at present, it is through men desperately to cultivate the land. Old scalpers, a huge Rus nation can also be created abruptly.

It's a pity that before the war, everyone fantasized about plundering the enemy's 100,000 reindeer in the first battle. This kind of thing finally came to nothing. Hopefully, there will be as much disappointment as it is, and it makes sense for people to participate in the meeting with grievances.

As for why this group of enemies are so poor, Rurik has already passed Jeflo's description of the prisoners and knows that they are inseparable.

He began to solemnly preach about the matter, and finally asked Jeflo himself to stand up and speak...

"It turns out that they ran away overnight. Thousands of women and children have fled with 100,000 deer!" Someone stood up in anger to answer the question.

Others yelled: "You can't let them escape! We want to chase!"

"Since this is not all of the Karelians, and their warchief has not been killed, we must carry the war to the end! We must not retreat without looting a large number of deer!"

...

It is amazing that the people who complained just now, their grievances against the servant army have disappeared. The battle will continue, and the Russian army will continue to fight the enemy. Even if the battle may last for many years in the vast new world, the battle cannot stop until the Karelians are completely destroyed and a large number of reindeer are plundered!

They were so resolute, and Rurik also pushed the boat forward.

The small leader who knew the status of the junior officer of the servant army was presentRuriek announced loudly: "Continue the war! As a Duke, I only need 30% of the spoils! The first, second, and third flag teams, also Brothers from the Shooting Flag Team and the Ostara Army, you have the right to share the remaining 60% of the spoils. Suomi and Vips servants, because of your wrong performance in the decisive battle, you can only fight in the future. Get the last 10% of the trophy."

In response to this order, all the Vikings were very welcome, and the servants felt that the spoils they could enjoy were pitifully small. After all, they were busy looting and freeing a group of rout soldiers. If there is a mistake, they will not do much. Said it.

The situation is not bad. If the Russ army really has a major seizure, such as robbing 100,000 reindeer, according to this Duke’s order, Suomi can also get 10,000 deer? The living brothers can get ten deer. Isn't this a major reward?
