Rise of Rurik

Up to now, Harrodsen has completely turned a blind eye to the behavior of his subordinates, because he and himself are searching for treasures and trying to kill the enemies they encounter.

His own beard was drenched with other people's blood, and his shriveled purse was gradually stuffed with silver coins, copper coins, and even five amber necklaces taken from the necks of enemies.

In a short period of time, more residents than the total number of Ross' attackers have died, and the number is increasing.

However, the inhabitants of Thinkenburg were Vikings after all. Those families that have not yet been affected, the men in them are starting to act. They ordered the women and children to run to the north immediately, and all the men who could hold an axe were left behind, and they started a spontaneous counterattack.

Finally, Arik, whose face was covered in blood, finally waited for the moment he longed for.

In front of him, a formidable enemy finally appeared.

Arik led more than a dozen brothers, and robbed gold while being roasted in the sky. The legendary Golden Mountain does not seem to be here, but many people have already obtained a lot of silver coins.

Their greed is difficult to be satisfied. Having a lot of gold and silver is a major goal in life. They fight to the death and fight against dangerous and powerful enemies, especially in this night battle. The Rus people think this is the greatest glory.

It's best for you to win, even if you die in battle, the battle at the last moment can also be seen by the Valkyrie in the sky.

More than 20 men with bare backs, holding a shield in one hand and an axe in the other, with sad and angry expressions in their eyes.

Arik was full of vigor, his bloody steel sword pointed at the opponent, and scolded: "Stupid Gotlanders, do you dare to fight us?"

The scene suddenly froze, and after a while, someone from the other party finally asked: "You pirates, who are you?"

"We? The ones you hurt."

"You are from the west side of the sea? Siamians?"

"No! We are from Rus! Brothers, rush with me!" Arik no longer talked nonsense. He held a shield in his left hand and a steel sword in his right hand, and rushed over screaming.

At the same time, the Thinkenburg fishermen who were in a hurry and did not even wear leather armor, they did exactly the same routine as the Rus, and more than 20 people quickly formed a shield wall.

It is a pity that the defense line of these Thinkenburgers was overwhelmed by the Russ who were slightly fewer than them.

A group of young Russ in their twenties, many of their relatives died under the axe of Gotland Islanders, at least they came with the purpose of revenge, and the attack was extremely determined, not to mention anything kindness.

All the young people reached a basic consensus that all Gotlanders were enemies, except slaves.

However, the slaves acquired by the slightly wealthier families for service in the melee were also treated as enemies and wiped out by the Rus.

Nearly a thousand women and children began to flee, holding torches and fleeing north, creating a formidable sight that looked from afar as if the people of Thinkenburg had collectively formed shameful cowards. The once peaceful village on the other side is already in flames!

Arik knocked over one person, and then stabbed the enemy very skillfully with his sword, stabbing the enemy on the spot.

Another enemy slashed away with an axe, and Arik immediately blocked with a shield. The axe blade directly cut a huge groove into the oak shield, and his sword pierced the enemy's abdomen.

Even more ferocious, he slashed another fallen enemy with a sword in one hand. This person was so frightened that he was holding a long-handled axe to block, and the axe handle could block an ordinary iron sword. How could it be the opponent of a steel sword?

Arik killed three of them himself, and his brothers also won.

It was this little battle that saw two brothers slashed and killed by the counter-attacking Thinkenburgers.

At this point, the men of Thinkenburg began to fight back. They reluctantly organized an army of three hundred people to try to keep the remaining villages, ensure that the houses would not be destroyed by the arsonist enemy, and fight the enemy to the death.

Because of their counterattack, 20 of the Rus who landed died in battle, and more than 100 persisted in fighting with wounds.

But the arm and leg were wounded by the enemy,

The pain was not noticed by them who fell into madness, and they couldn't even tell whether the blood on their bodies was the enemy's or their own.

Twenty young men died in battle, and the Russ did not care at all about such losses. By comparison, 500 people in the Thinkenburg have died!

Finally, a battle for the survival of Thinkenburg broke out.

The Rus people expanded their attack surface to the inland areas. As expected, they did not get satisfactory gold and silver in the homes of ordinary fishermen. All the looters aimed at the fortress in the highlands.

The fool also knows that if he can build a very different building, that guy must be very rich, and it is right to rob him.

The Rus people moved closer to the "castle" of Oxon Siken, and the fishermen who started to fight back were frustrated by the initial counterattack, and they also began to gather together, and retreated to the castle in an organized manner.

In times of crisis, the Thinkenburgers can only hope that their leader will help them in their life and death.

However, at this critical moment, Oxen Thinking, who was most frightened in his life, gave the sixty warriors under his command an order to close the door tightly and prepare for battle.

Overall, this Oxon is more than happy to spend money on the big events of life.

If there is a legendary golden hill in Gotland, Oxon's "castle" has a small golden hill. Of course, the golden mountain is a description, and the wealth of the Oxon Sikken family accumulated for generations was placed in the "castle". He lived here with his two wives, concubines, children, and the maids he had bought.

Oxon gave each samurai who was willing to work for him a special salary of ten gold coins, and promised that as long as the unidentified attackers were repelled, each who survived would be given another twenty gold coins.

This time, he really experienced the feeling of powerlessness that a mountain of coins could not turn into an army of thousands at the time of life and death. Coins can indeed hire an army, but how is that possible now? Count on those fishermen? Pooh! Let them in, maybe these fishermen who get along with each other day and night will also become robbers!

In a sense, the main purpose of building this stone castle is to prevent the fishermen of Thinkenburg from being malicious. Everyone is a Viking. As long as they sail on the sea and encounter a fleet weaker than themselves, they are itching to grab it.

Oxon is now as fat as a pig. After his eldest wife died, he easily used money to successfully marry two little wives, and the little wives gave him sons and daughters.

He placed the eldest son born by his deceased wife on the Danes' land, and for the purpose of "expanding the family industry", he made him stay with the Danes for a long time. In fact, he did not want the eldest son to disturb his good life. Besides, the family's business will be inherited by the eldest son sooner or later, and now, Oxon only hopes to enjoy the rest of his life and be accompanied by beautiful women all day long.

The good days seem to be over!

He was plump and wore a coat made of precious mink fur, and he climbed the stone wall with a sword and shield as he did when he was young. He witnessed a scene as terrifying as a volcanic eruption, and he also saw people cursing at him under the stone wall.

"Open the door and let us in."

"You fool, let us in, or we'll all die."

"Oxon, are you still holding on at this time? Are your warriors going to sit and watch us die?"

...

open the door? Pooh! Just seeing the terrible scene, Oxon became more determined, but he didn't open the door!

He even ordered his subordinates: "You guys, find a stone and a wooden stick to block the door for me, and never let anyone in. Don't worry, pirates won't be able to get in."

Then, he made people sneak out through the hidden door, and made them run wildly northward, reporting to some families in the north that they had been attacked by the Siamians.

Oxon stared stunned as a large group of people walked out of the flames. They were a piece of darkness, and behind them was the fire. It was like a large group of monsters born from the flames. The purpose of existence is only one - to bring destruction.

Arik wore chain mail, which was covered in the blood of his enemies.

Like his brethren, he wore rough clothes under the scorching fire. Everyone was very dissatisfied because they didn't grab the huge amount of gold in the legend.

What's more, now these Gotlanders have been organized, and they have already intentionally fought a life-and-death battle with the Rus!

Although the purpose of the action was to destroy one of the enemy's settlements and to withdraw after robbing the gold, all the people were passionate about it, even Harrodsen, he was eager to fight this group of enemies.

Could it be that after living for a while, there are only ten or twenty years in life, and in the future, he will stay in Roseburg for the rest of his life? Pooh!

Harrozosen misses his Kanuf, but seeing that Rurik treats his son as a brother, he must have died in battle, and his family can also be well taken care of.

At this moment, in the face of a large group of enemies who were shirtless or covered in animal skins and were obviously not sufficiently prepared for battle, Haruo Zuo Sen's reason had long since been thrown aside, and he felt that he was suddenly only twenty years old. , it's time to fight hard.

In daily life, it is rare for a war with more than 100 people to occur.

Look at the enemy on the opposite side, there are at least 200 of them.

What's more, this group of enemies is backed by a castle surrounded by stone walls. Why should the enemies take up positions here instead of leaving like the large group of people who fled with torches? They must be guardians of something.

It must be a lot of gold! ?

Not to mention, Oxon's "castle" is hoarding a lot of gold and silver. The Rus misunderstood the reason for the formation of a large group of enemies, but did not miss the fact that there was gold in the "castle".

Oxon showed two frightened eyes slightly, he couldn't believe what he saw. He prayed that his gates would be strong enough, and that the fishermen would defeat the pirates.

Suddenly, Arik beat his shield with the back of his sword, and the others couldn't help but beat at the exact same rhythm.

"rua! rua! rua..."

They uttered the same rhythm of battle cries, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was the temperament of a well-trained team.

This gave Oxon, only inexhaustible fear.

The Russ marched in unison while shouting their chants.

Their round shields were lined up, the first row was followed by a second row and a third row. The shields of the descendants pressed against the backs of the predecessors, forming a powerful formation.

However, it was the Rusian archers who attacked first.

Twenty archers are those hunters, and they can also join the battle themselves. Shields and axes are also standard.

They suddenly rushed to the front of the formation and fired arrows at the enemy who did not know how to be good.

Bone arrow arrows, which are fine as hunting arrows, are terrible for use in combat. The quality of such an arrow itself is not good, only because it is very cheap.

The spontaneous action of the archers is to disrupt the enemy's formation and force the enemy to raise their shields for defense.

The harassment achieved a certain effect, and the archers immediately retreated into the formation. Immediately afterwards, Arik shouted and led the warriors in the first row to charge.

The shields collided and the battle began.

The first row of Rus people is almost all equipped with chain mail. These chainmails are resistant to slashes that are not too powerful, and are also effective against thrusts.

The wooden shields of the two sides collided fiercely, and the fight began immediately.

The axe fell from the sky and slashed the enemy's head, and the sharp sword suddenly emerged from the gap in the shield, inflicting penetrating wounds on the enemy.

Arik was only eighteen years old, and he was as mad as a god of war in battle. He used the shield against most of his torso, and the steel sword in his hand was nearly seventy centimeters long. The long-term paddling experience makes Arik have absolute arm strength, and he can use the sword with one hand freely.

He madly stabbed the enemy on the other side of the shield. Because it was blocked by the shield, he didn't care that the enemy he stabbed was He's face.

The fishermen in Thinkenburg suffered a large number of casualties immediately. Those who were seriously injured fell to the ground one after another, and were trampled by their companions or enemies, and quickly lost their lives.

In this tragic collision and crazy fighting, the Rus people are also paying casualties.

The warriors in the first row are equipped with a large number of chain mail, the purpose is to better serve as a front-line fighting force.

However, this chainmail could not resist the powerful thrusts. Although the swords of the Thinkenburg fishermen were made of pure wrought iron, as long as they had a sharp enough angle and sufficient strength, they could also pierce the bodies of the armored Rus.

However, the chances of such success are too few.

The fishermen in Thinkenburg were not ready to fight at all. After all, they were fighting. They were at a disadvantage, and they had to continue to fight in order to survive.

The iron swords were bent one after another in the melee, but all warriors equipped with iron swords would have to face this disgusting problem.

The sword-wielding fishermen had to continue fighting with their bent swords. Can they hurt the Rus? The answer is almost no.

Even the Rus people, they had to step back in the fight they once participated in, use their feet to step on the crooked blade into a reliable and straight line, and then continue to fight with this sword that was already full of gaps.

Only steel swords, no matter what kind of credit methods the Rus people involved in this battle used, they got their own steel swords after all.

It is a steel sword with elasticity and a particularly hard and sharp blade. Any steel sword will cut off the ordinary iron sword when it is tested at the blacksmith shop. It is really cheap to use in this battle.

During the melee, the Russ who killed the red eyes were almost instinctively stabbing and slashing, not realizing how fierce their steel sword was.

Thinking Burgers deeply felt the fear of the enemy, and even their wooden shield could not resist the stab of the enemy's sword!

Painful howls and fiery roars filled the battlefield, and metal crashed everywhere.

Hundreds of fighters on both sides took a shield wall with an increasingly larger arc as a clear front. The Rus on the attacking side tried to break through the enemy's front from the flank, and they tried their best to push and compress the front. Stop and retreat.

Because, the people of Thinkenburg really can't bear it!

There were more and more corpses on the ground, and the mourning Thinkenburgers were wounded, and they were directly assassinated by the Rus people who stepped on them.

All the Rus people who attacked have noticed that as long as everyone continued to attack, the enemy's front line would soon collapse. Next, it was the king's absolute blow to the weak.

kindness? Do not!

At this moment, all Ross young people have become real BERSERKERs!
