Rise of Rurik

Hundreds of thousands of people returned to the camp on the top of the stone mound. Of course, they could hide in the woods on the island. However, fear acts on the body, and it is not a good idea to escape with a name. The current situation seems to be the only option to keep warm.

Some who tried to escape on rafts withdrew, not without success.

Someone took some precious fresh water from the spring. As for looking for something to eat, there was really no edible wild vegetables.

Can a little fresh water guarantee the survival of thousands of people?

There are trees and stones at the top of the stone mound, and a small amount of food storage is the property of those big families. Now some big families have left strongly and were mercilessly sunk by the Ross fleet. They took away most of the stored materials and fed the fish together. Those remaining small amount of materials are also firmly occupied by other big families who are watching.

The first day's attempt to leave ended in a fiasco for the islanders. After nightfall, the surviving people did not feel that they were smart enough to wait and see to avoid death. What they faced was not only quenching hunger and thirst, but also being overcome by fear itself. Fear of domination. The latest chapter of Daomen Takeaway

The forced escape of the islanders surprised Rurik, he expected this, and he did not expect that his opponent could flee on a large scale.

He even thought about it, maybe he shouldn't have given the order to kill the fugitives.

"Most of you shouldn't die, as long as you surrender obediently to me? I still want to include you..."

Rurik put his fantasies aside for the time being, and even so, it seemed too hasty to surrender them.

Swinder, who was talking about it, was in a hurry. When Rurik quietly watched the grilled fresh fish, the guy staggered over and begged bitterly.

"My lord, you just let them go. You planned to ask me to persuade them to surrender, and I will go now. No more! They will be slowly tortured to death by you."

Swinder's actions were too impulsive, and he was dragged away and controlled by the guards before he finished speaking. The world enters the era of the Great Flood

"Let him go," Rurik motioned.

"Sir, think about it! I went to persuade all night."

"No. They dare to run away once, and they dare to run for the second time. I want to kill their aura, and I also have the courage to know who the hell is. They dare not fight with me and have the guts to run away? It's ridiculous."

"It must be those big families, that is... people like me." Swinder hurriedly explained.

"you?"

"My lord, my family must follow the others and flee to the hills. My home is in this big fishing village, and there is not a single corpse there. My wife and children have all been evacuated. I'm just worried..."

"Worrying about their safety? I understand you, but..." Rurik shook his head, "This is a war. If your family is smart enough, just come down and surrender, and I can make them guests instead of slaves. "Miss' Qimen Feng Shui Master

"Then let me convince them. I'll just hold the torch and talk!"

Swinder, who was trying to leave, was still under the control of the soldiers, and Rurik made up his mind, and he definitely wouldn't let this guy make his own decisions.

"You and I continue to wait! Soon I will send someone to clean up the forest, and my fleet will still patrol the sea. Three days! We will wait for three days, and then we will go to see the situation."

"Three days?! Even if they don't starve to death, they will die of thirst!"

Rurik listened tirelessly, ordered his subordinates to pull him away, and nibbled at the fish again on his own.

No one in the Ross army was willing to speak well for Swinder, and even Ragnar of the Alliance was too lazy to deal with this unfortunate bastard.

Even if Ragnar opposes the Danish king Horrick, it does not mean that he must unite the islanders of Bornholm. The islanders here are all strong grasses, their origins are varied, and now he is extremely despised by the appearance of running away in the face of disasters. Although their Stonewall tribe had also escaped, they had to pay extremely huge sacrifices to successfully break through, and they were always thinking of revenge. What's the matter with the islanders? There is no pop-up window for the Crossover Countermeasures Alliance

The Rus army still lit bonfires everywhere to create suspicious formations.

At first it was scheming, but now it has become very pragmatic.

The Ross fleet, which uses trawling technology to fish for fish, encounters the South Baltic Sea, which is rich in resources. The Ross people trawled fish during the day and lit the lights to fish at night. A large number of catches were pulled ashore, and there was only a spontaneously formed "fish and meat processing workshop" on the beach. The big fish are cut into pieces, the small fish are spread out, and after being smeared with salt, they are gradually turned into dry and hard salted fish by the bonfire, and then they are transported to the boat.

The smell of grilled fish permeates this small island, especially when it floats along the south wind to the top of the rocky mound, drifting into the noses of anxious people. This made the people who were already restless and fearful even more annoyed, and objectively this became the psychological offensive of the Rus army.

Not all the islanders escaped to the top of the hill. The entire island was surrounded by the Ross navy. The jibs of the ships were like the dorsal fins of sharks, and all the ships were watching, and any rafts that tried to leave would be destroyed. Global Voyage: My Probability 100%

As the sun rises, a new day, the situation is the fermentation of disaster for the islanders.

What the prince ordered was only to prohibit the destruction of the big fishing village. For other island micro-villages, it does not matter if they are about to be burned down.

The warships couldn't find their hunting targets, so they simply used the miniature fishing villages they found. Most of those fishermen have already fled, and it is impossible for them to leave any treasures in the village because they are already poor.

The soldiers who came down from the ship were unable to search, and set fire to the house for the purpose of venting their anger, and then removed all the available bottles. Especially fishermen's boats, too small boats were scuttled directly, and large paddle boats were tied directly with ropes and were towed away.

The tossing of the Ross army on the second day caused thick smoke to billow from various small fishing villages, and one after another, some people dragged their families and escaped to the stone hills in the center of the island for refuge.

The new escapes brought more brutal news—the villages were burnt, and any escaped ships were gone. The ending is good

The entire island has become a cage, and although there are dense forests under the stone mound, it has become a hunting ground for the Ross invaders.

Because there was news again that the Rus people with bows and arrows seemed to be sharp shooters.

The people who fled to Shiqiu could only bring bad news one after another. They thought that they had temporarily avoided the edge of the invaders, but unexpectedly, the supplies they carried became the must-have items for other islanders.

What Rurik didn't know was that the islanders trapped on the rocky hill were killing each other.

Those big families and exiled Danes were more organized than others, scavenging for what was left with sharp weapons and pouring precious water into their stomachs.

What else can people who have been deprived of materials do? They were hungry and thirsty, so they had to sit on the stone and pray for a rain. I am a taboo life

Of course, there were some people who took the risk and had to go down the mountain to get water from the spring. More than 100 people went chaotically with expectations, but were ambushed by the Rus army.

The ambush battle was extremely short and did not even cause many casualties. The ambushed Rus army shot some arrows and then stunned the water fetchers. The brothers swarmed and captured them.

The captured islanders thought they would be killed immediately, but they were escorted to the Ross Army camp.

The prisoners were both men and women, and the women holding their children were the most eye-catching.

Seeing such a mother, how could Rurik remain sympathetic?

This was the largest number of captives by the Ross army since the start of the battle. More than 80 people sat on the sand and gravel by the seaside, and they all got enough grilled fish and fresh water. After they had eaten and drank enough, most of their fears disappeared.

When they obtained the security promise, they expressed their willingness to cooperate. I fell in love with my nemesis after rebirth

They began to explain the situation on the stone hill, especially how the powerful people there robbed the supplies of ordinary fishermen, and described the size of the large family in power and the size of the ordinary fishermen.

Swinder hurriedly interrupted the prisoners' accusations, and the prisoners were surprised when they saw such a big acquaintance.

Immediately, someone was furious and stood up and pointed and scolded: "Swinder! Is it you who brought the Rus to attack our island? You are a traitor!"

Listen, Swinder is speechless.

But in the next second, the man who was talking was hit in the chest by the crossbow. He watched the arrow in his chest fall to the ground, and after a few twitches he stopped moving.

The sudden death frightened the prisoners to scream, and Rurik shouted: "This is the end of disobedience! Before you regain your freedom, you must remain submissive." Go, throw it directly into the sea and drift on the waves...

For this reason, Rurik had to reiterate his policy, and then he began to divide this wave of prisoners into three, six, and nine grades.

Swinder got his wish to know the condition of his wife and children. Although they are alive, the servants in the family are killed and injured a lot. Nonetheless, they were trapped on the rocky hills, where food and water were scarce, and the situation kept getting worse. He can't wait to bring the water and mountains now, at least to bring his family back.

Swinder had learned to be clever, but reason dictated that he would not do so.

He has done what the Rus people have done to this day. The army has penetrated into the woods on the island, the small islands are being searched, the small fishing village is ablaze with flames, except for the huge refugee camp on the top of the hill, there are no other places hiding.

It seems that Prince Ross will not take his life back. The prince will deliberately hang the islanders for three whole days, and the real persuasion to surrender will be put on the fourth day. The male god of fast wearing has to chase me

How can Swinder be? I can only hope that my family can survive until that day.

On the third day, in the big fishing village occupied by the Rus army, Rurik chose a large house where he held a battle meeting before the capitulation operation.

However, rather than persuaded to surrender, the coveted army generals are more willing to swarm and annihilate them for glory.

There are many people who can be recruited by Rurik, and the "ship" captains in the army, that is, the platoon commanders, are all involved. The flag team of the Ross Army is a fairly well-organized combat group. Each "ship" is organized with 30 people and can carry out combat missions independently.

Rurik had learned from the captives about the composition of the islanders on the top of the stone mound. There were a large number of women and children there, but the men who fought lost a lot of money because of their failed escapes. Now, even if these men have enough to eat and drink, they are outnumbered. Not at all a rival of the Ross Army. What's more, they didn't get effective supplies for three days, or more specifically, four days. Even if they didn't die of thirst and starvation, they would definitely be dying. No pop-up window for women's self-help alliance

The venue was very noisy at first, but when Rurik decided to preach the policy, there was an instant silence.

"I know you want to chop off their heads! But remember, it's a bunch of cowards! A bunch of hungry and thirsty cowards, and a lot of women and children! If you cut them down, especially in Shiqiu Hack and kill them from the high ground, Odin looks at you from the high sky, the gods will not consider this act honorable. So the captain you are doing must restrain your own people. You convey my words to yourselves Brothers, don't try to kill indiscriminately, and don't attack without my order. If the situation becomes very urgent, if they don't resist, they will tie it up. If you dare to disobey my order, I will use Stick your ass!"

The punishment for violating the order is tamping your ass? Everyone laughed wildly.

Someone laughed and said, "Don't worry about the prince, we don't want to do anything that will bring shame to our honor."

Rurik knew very well that the Rus army was not a disciplined army, it was a tribal army. The main body of the Principality of Ross is a mixture of various tribes, a new nation is being formed, and a unified Odin belief is being implemented. In order to maintain the morale of the army, Rurik had to allow them to loot freely, and condoning violence was eroding his heart.

Rurik was not without the idea of ​​killing everything. What if he ordered the beheading of the entire island? It will not be punished by others at all, and it will only make others more terrified.

Clearing the customs and killing people to maintain the ruling authority is the real barbarian behavior. The biggest contradiction in the Principality is still the serious shortage of labor. The Bornholm Islanders should try their best to capture it. It is obviously a very good labor force to dig iron ore in the mining area in the north.

Rurik focused on the issue of persuasion to surrender. Now that he had figured out the situation, he had to explain clearly how to persuade him to surrender. The road to the lord starts from incarnation of all things, no pop-up window

According to his plan, the stone hills will be surrounded by the Rus army, and some big trees will be quickly cut down and sawed down, just to create an open space, so that the Rus army can raise the flag and shout to scare the islanders.

The army unloaded some torsion slingshots and catapults and set them up.

Having done enough military preparations, there is no shortage of tactics.

Especially this attack on the heart, Rurik is very proud.

He proudly preached: "We still lit some bonfires after we lined up. We threw the big cod we caught directly into the fire, and let the fire burn it to ashes."

"What does this mean?" Arik asked in surprise, "Are you willing to burn the fat fish?"

"Why don't you give up? I just want the fire to burn the fish into a charred fragrance, and the tempting aroma will float to the stone hills nearby, and people who are about to starve to death will smell the smell and use their last strength. In my opinion, when it comes to that At that time, their consciousness can no longer control the body." Fellow Daoist, please be serious

Ragnar questioned deeply: "Rurik, is this also in your calculations?"

"Yes."

"We didn't do this before, why didn't they come down? Oh, someone did come down to get water."

"They're not hungry enough." Rurik shrugged, "I don't really want to kill them, I have to give them some hope of survival. Those prisoners are of great use, let them stand in a conspicuous place tomorrow. , declare that we did not kill. Grilling fish with fragrance is a trick, and I will also publicly demonstrate that our army has sufficient fresh water."

Ragnar thought for a while, patted his thigh and sighed that Prince Rurik was so vicious at such a young age, and lamented that he was currently allied with him. If they were enemies of each other, he would be completely defeated in military affairs and tactics.

Everyone is absolutely sure that Rurik's strategy is quite subtle, and if they don't surrender, those guys are really indescribable in words. The latest chapter of the bottom net red school flower

So what should they do after they surrender? Rurik has already made three, six, nine, and so on, but he has made three kinds of opinions on the fate of ordinary fishermen's families, exiled Danes, and the real power families on the island.

"Those ordinary fishermen are all attached to the strong, and some sell themselves as slaves. Now that I am strong, they will serve me and become my servants like deer farmers. Only I can punish them, you Do not kill indiscriminately!"

"The exiled Danes are not our enemies, the battle is a misunderstanding! Ragnar, I hope you will convince them. At least I have no intention of fighting them, fighting each other is pointless, but I and them should join forces against the Danish king Horry. K. I hope you can mediate well, but you can't make any more misunderstandings."

"As for the big families who provoked the battle, do they still need to stay? I can spare their lives for the time being, but they must be obedient. The battle can be completely avoided, and the peace talks are clearly successful, but they refuse to admit the peace talks, even if they If you choose to surrender, you still have to pay some...money."

Thus preached, Ragnar and Swinder were given their respective tasks.

Things have been very different from the original plan. It is no longer possible to peacefully incorporate Bornholm Island. At least theoretically, there are still 3,000 people who can be captured by the Principality of Ross. All were Vikings, all spoke Norse, and worshipped gods like Odin, Freya, and Thor. Rurik was most interested in ordinary fishermen and slaves, a large group of uncaring people who were most able to take advantage. As long as they are bound by economic ties, they will have to coexist and co-prosper with Ross in order to make a living. This is "incorporation".

As for those big families? forget it.

Rurik had murderous intentions, and this murderous intention was only temporarily suppressed. It also depends on whether those big families are smart.
