A battle ended with Rose's complete victory, and Rose won it logically, so that the soldiers shouted that they did not get the glory of the battle.

After all, the presence of the brothers belongs to the reinforcements, and there are also brothers who belong to the First Banner in the fortress. The sled team entered the city leisurely and immediately received warm hospitality from the guards.

After the centurion entered the fortress, he joked to another centurion of the guards: "I really didn't expect you to have issued a war alert because of a siege by a group of weak people. You can completely destroy them on your own."

The guards are also very speechless, because without real hand-to-hand combat, everyone can't come to the surprising conclusion that the enemy is weak.

The Guardian Centurion did not make any insights, and immediately asked: "Where is the Prince's reinforcements? You will never be the only reinforcements."

"Naturally not. We don't know the prince's intentions. We are from Kaiji Salmi. When we were hunting, we learned the news from the fugitives you sent out. We came as soon as possible."

As a result, everyone had nothing to say. The guards welcomed the new brothers. After a while, the weapons collected on the battlefield, especially the various arrows, were bundled into the fortress.

Until entering the fortress, Telavis didn't know what resources these soldiers with a lot of strength actually had to guard the fortress and didn't go out to fight. They really had plenty of food and water to wait and work for a month!

What should I do next? It is a fact that the Karelians have assembled a large army. They are obviously unwilling to withdraw after being frustrated. They just hid in the woods further north, and may adopt more insidious tactics after receiving their lessons.

The strength of the guards increased, and everyone reached a consensus: If we rush into the forest to pay, our army is likely to fall into a disadvantage, and we should wait until the prince’s real reinforcements arrive, and then take advantage of the strength to pay.

They had a tacit understanding in the dark. When the small-scale battle broke out, Rurik had completed the assembly of the army, and the very large sled team was advancing, and there were only five days left to reach the fortress of Bear Festival Town.

However, Rurik didn't even know that Xiong Jizhen had been relieved because of the support of a handful of reinforcements.

The next thing seems to be the work of clearing.

Unless, the Karelians decide to bet on the fate of the entire nation and have a decisive battle with the Duchy of Ross.

Coincidentally, either rebellious or simply passionate, when someone persuaded Cascuwe to retreat, he was sternly reprimanded by him, and branded his sword and threatened that those who dared to say the retreat would be put to death.

The principle set by Cascuwe is to fight to the end. He is unswervingly gathering forces to pull all the men in the new camp over and fight the Ross people desperately.

He couldn't think of any reasonable tactics at all, he only thought of waiting for more people to gather before launching a group charge. Even though the Ross people have many advantages, once the battle becomes a real melee, the result will always be in their favor.

He led people to actively take certain measures in the forest, so the forest began to shake, and a large number of small pine trees were cut down.

The Karelians cannot be said to be a complete muscle. They have learned the lesson of failure in hand-to-hand combat. They are making spears on a large scale.

The cut down small pine tree leaves the top part of the tree, cut off the bark and then sharpen the top, and even tie a bony spear.

Such a spear can be made very long, but because it is made by assault, the toughness and rigidity of the wooden pole are not excellent.

If you really fight at zero distance, the card army will naturally suffer a big loss. If you stretch a certain distance and use thousands of spearheads to poke, the Ross people will have a big loss!

Such a tactic is promising in terms of thinking. It's just that Kascuwe can understand this in a normal way, but the Ross people don't understand it?

The Karelians still haven't encountered the main force of the Rus army.

A very large sled team came in mighty and mighty sleds. Considering the possibility of encountering the enemy, Commander Rülik has ordered the 20 sleds of the vanguard to wind up and load the sled loaded with torsion slingshots.

The real reinforcements from the Principality of Ross arrived, and the 1,500 soldiers selected by Rülik were very unexpected and inevitable to join forces with the 800 reinforcements from Fort Shilla. Where is the army of two thousand three hundred reinforcements in Bear Festival Town, it is true that the heroes of all walks of life regard this reinforcement as a kind of hunting carnival. Just by looking at the reinforcement structure organized by the older brother, Rurik knew that they were a large group of hunters. Among them, there were an astonishing number of black-haired Suomis. On the surface, they described that they wanted to fight against Karelia for the revenge of their ancestors. To plunder the enemy's reindeer.

The Suomi people have indeed maintained a hostile relationship with the Karelians for a long time, and both revenge and plunder are not wrong. It was Rurik that they didn't believe that they would meet with the enemy's short soldiers. These people were not only equipped with self-defense hand axes, snow marching tents tied with daggers, but also short wooden bows and heavy steel arrows in leather quivers. They are very good archers, but the bows they use are still too common, no different from the enemy's bows, but they have a huge advantage in arrows.

The attitude of the Russ, Viking immigrants and Slavs of all walks of life is no longer revenge, and the war has become a pure plunder.

The rescue battle that Rurik expected did not happen, and there were a large number of corpses and frozen blood lying on the ice. It was obvious that a fierce battle had taken place here.

Look at the fortress of Bear Festival Town, where the Ross flag is flying.

Arik, wearing sunglasses, gushing blood, looking at the frozen corpse and asking the prince's brother: "Rurik, it seems that the defenders can defeat the enemy without our reinforcements. Their alarms are too cautious."

Rurik thinks so now, too dangerous to be wise enough, and deliberately warns: "Don't take it lightly, for fear that the Karelians will have traps."

"Trap? You are looking at them again. If there is a trap, it will come. I brought hundreds of men of all kinds to come here to eat the snow and blow the cold wind. If there is a big battle, hurry up. I will stand in the snow and let them attack. This saves me from picking them out myself."

Arik’s words are full of domineering, but Rurik actually has similar thoughts.

The whole world seems to be very quiet, and the enemy doesn't feel like hiding in the forest. Could they run away with their tails in between?

The army successfully arrived at the city of Elronburg, the thick wooden door was opened, the suspension bridge was lowered, and hundreds of defenders walked out of the fort enthusiastically to meet the prince.

Looking at the faces of these people, who can think of them having experienced a hard fight?

Hundreds of shaggy men lined up to greet the prince with weapons. Most of them are brothers of the First Banner, but they lack formal uniforms to show their identity. They still show themselves as hunters, especially those wearing white bear fur. Almost ordinary people lying in the snow nest glanced at it and really couldn't find it.

Behind Rurik were an army of eyeing eyes and more than a thousand reindeer panting.

He arrogantly asked: "I heard the people who had retreated say that the fortress was under siege by thousands of people, and you have to stay and coexist with the fortress. It sounds so tragic, I am afraid that you will all die in the fastest way Du rushed to reinforce, what is going on? What about the enemy?"

The situation became very embarrassing, and the two centurions present were both explaining. The so-called enemies did launch attacks again and again, and they were all defeated, and finally retreated to the woods in the north and hid.

According to the establishment of the First Banner Team, there are two hundred-man teams. Half of the troops have become the defenders of Bear Festival Town. They are simply here to hunt and get involved in the war?

As the seemingly unexpected appearance of Telavis drilled out of the crowd to report to Rurik, the truth gradually became clear.

The small fortress could not carry the army, which was close to three thousand troops. The army camped outside the city and immediately buried the stove to cook wheat and eat hot rice. As for the settlement of the sled reindeer, first feed a batch of oats and then graze on the spot.

Xiongji Town was originally the gathering place for the army in the second round of the Crusade by the Rurik imperial critics. The relatively open area is suitable for gathering, and naturally it is also suitable as a battlefield.

In an instant, the town of Xiongji became very lively, and hundreds of banners blew in the gale.

Rurik regarded this battle as a national war. Most of the Russian fighters wore uniform uniforms. The white robes became an excellent camouflage in the snow, and the blue lines on it were also quite eye-catching.

The army that has just settled down must remain vigilant. That night, in order to avoid possible sneak attacks by the enemy, the Russian army not only deployed sleepless sentries, but also set up suspicious troops in the area centered on the fortress. A large number of bonfire stalls were densely laid out. There can be as many as five hundred stalls.

The starlight in the sky is devastating, and the night visibility of the whole world is still possible, but the bonfire shines this glimpse transparently.

The Karelians have also assembled three thousand people. Their spies saw the situation in Bear Ji Town from a distance and hurriedly informed their chief leader.

"The bonfire is as dense as the stars in the sky? It's not true!" Cascuway couldn't believe the sentinel's statement.

With no sleepiness, he sneaked in the forest with a group of cronies, and he couldn't help taking a breath when he saw the dense fire from a distance.

Fear, anger, astonishment, complicated emotions flooded my mind.

His subordinates are all asking how to deal with the new enemy. Hesitating defeatist speech has become taboo, and his cronies are advocating that they must fight mercilessly to the end.

Even so, Cascuway's personal belief in a fight is gradually strengthened under the influence of his cronies, and it is a problem to start a war properly. Besides, his current strength is not an absolute advantage.

Of course, he can wait a little longer. It was at this time that someone gave an initiation: "They must have walked a long way to arrive. They must be very tired and need to rest for two or three days to regain their energy. If we can launch a raid , The advantage lies with me."

What a wonderful trick!

Kascuwe picked out the young man who made this rhetoric, and when he saw that he was a brother of the same tribe, he happily named him a chieftain. He thought about it again, since he was going to launch a fierce assault on Rose, it was bound to require all soldiers to work hard, and a large-scale canonization before the war was necessary to shock morale.

He returned to the Karelian camp and called the men who couldn't sleep at all.

Those in the team who are well-populated, burly tall enough, or come from a big clan are all named chieftains by him. The concept is equivalent to "the leader of a small tribe." Since they all have this noble status, and the status is also bestowed by the greatest chief of the emirate, how can there be reasons for laziness?

Cascuway spoke to them: "We launched an attack at dawn, and everyone pretended to move forward. We took advantage of their unsteady footing and smashed their camp, killed the enemies we encountered and took away their iron weapons. This is a rare gift given to us by the forest gods. Opportunity, the opportunity to avenge all the people who died is here, I will take the lead in the charge, and all of you will follow me..."

The Karelian army actually has a lot of troops. The large number of men who have not yet entered the battlefield is the first time to see such a large number of tribesmen, and even Perm people from the more east, have never seen such a large-scale gathering of fighters. This is the strongest army in the concept of the card army. With its simple cognition, it is naturally invincible in the known world.

Exciting emotions act on the mind, and even if it is sleepy, it disappears without a trace.

The Karelian army has no intention of waiting for reinforcements from follow-up personnel. No one wants to give up the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They began to advance at night, preparing to launch a dawn raid!

A large group of people lay in the snow or hid in the forest to hide their existence. They waited quietly until the dark sky turned dark blue, and the hiding people stood up one after another.

Everything was speechless, and Kascuwei carried his iron sword and started to move forward.

The figure of the warchief was so unique that three thousand people followed his request, carrying as many as three thousand spears of different quality and made assault.

They made no unnecessary noise, and the snow also absorbed the noise to a great extent.

The Karelian army’s raid has begun, and the Rus have not sensed the imminent danger.

But the sky was getting brighter and brighter. The sentry who took turns had already carried the wood for the fire. While preparing for the vegetable stew for breakfast, some sentry finally saw the abnormality in the distance.

The first sentry rubbed his eyes vigorously, making sure that he was not embarrassed and dazzled.

Is a large herd of reindeer moving in the open area of ​​the north? It looks like a large group of bears again.

Do not! That is human, a lot of enemies! Seeing this posture, the enemy clearly has to fight a decisive battle!

"Wake up! It's an enemy attack!" The frightened sentinel was like a cat with blown up fur. He kicked other sentries violently and greeted everyone to issue a combat alert.

Whenever people see the crowd approaching from afar, they realize that something is wrong. People holding horns trumpet their cheeks and blow trumpets, and some find the cowhide drums accompanying the army to beat them frantically.

As soon as the awakened people heard of the enemy's attack, they got up and lost their breath, and hurriedly put on leather and chain mail, put on white robes, carried weapons, and jumped out of the camp.

The Ross people did their best, and a large number of soldiers woke up to prepare for the camp.

There was a big disturbance here, and from the position of the Karelians who were marching, it was clear that his actions had been exposed.

Warchief Cascuway has two choices before the fierce battle: war or withdraw.

The sneak attack strategy had lost its tactical advantage due to exposure, but he had no choice, as if the arrow from the string couldn't fly back.

He raised his sword and shouted, "Brave Karelians, follow me!"

He began to take the lead in shouting, leading the others to roar. They relied on shouting to be majestic, and the roar could not be absorbed by the snow.

The roar made the embarrassed Ross warriors vigilant. Many people wiped it with snow at their fingertips, and began to line up with swords and shields.

Seventy percent of the Slavic flag team participated in this battle. They had the experience of crusade against Karelia, so naturally they would not be ashamed of this group of attacking fanatics. They also led the following teams under Medvedt's, and they all moved forward with halberds.

Thanks to the snow, it gave the charging crowd a certain obstacle and bought time for the Ross army to assemble and build a tactical formation.

However, another traditional skill of the Russ army is already curbing the enemy's offensive momentum.

After all, a large number of torsion slingshots have been removed from the fleet for overhaul. They have been repaired, and a battle is just right to test the results of the repairs. UU Reading www.uukANAnshu.com

Fifty slingshots are arranged on the extension of the camp. They are installed on the sled. The reindeer are saddled to rest, and the sled becomes a fixed point of fire.

The torsion slingshot is already firing freely, and the light javelin with a high range is spun down from the sky.

The Cajun began to suffer losses. Facing the companion who was pierced by a javelin and fell to the ground, the soldiers could only stare at their eyes like copper bells, and continued to charge with spears.

I don't know if it is a slingshot, but the bull trebuchet is also throwing stones. The bones must be broken and killed. They are facing high-speed moving cluster targets. They do not have more attack windows.

Finally, they were within the woodworking range of the card army, and a weak north wind was in their favor. The card army's bow holders threw arrows to the sky, and the Russian army finally began to suffer losses.

The bone cluster arrows could not penetrate the armor of the Russian army, but some Suomi people accidentally hit the arrows while holding their bows.

Wearing a thick leather coat on the ground can weaken the damage of the bone clusters, but some people with bad luck were shot in the eyes and arrows in the neck, and suddenly blood flowed to the ground and struggled. The poor wounded was dragged back by his companions, whether they were alive or dead, but the others still shot arrows to fight.

Until the Karelian army rushed into the range of the crossbow...
