The two thousand Kalmar army versus the four thousand Swedish army is basically the comparison of the forces between the two sides.
Due to the losses in the first battle, about 150 people in the Kalmar army were killed and seriously injured. The Swedish army was stunned by an ambush and lost 70 elites. In this contrast, the Swedish army still occupies an absolute advantage in the strength of the two sides.
The Kalmar people looked at the increasing forces of the northern forces with fear and became afraid to act rashly. However, no one escaped. Some of them had the idea of fleeing. At least for now, fear or insistence on honor made them stand here, watching more and more enemies landing.
The forces of the Swedish coalition had not been assembled, and Olekin was not willing to immediately order an attack. The fighters of the two sides had already turned into a weird confrontation. At this moment, the five ships of the Rus had already risked a great risk of running aground to a distance of only about 30 meters from the coast.
The Aphrora faced the enemy on the port side, and all three torsion slingshots on the starboard side were removed, and the ship's side railings were used as launch pads.
The longbowmen on the ship are ready to shoot, and all the steel-armed crossbowmen also use their weapons at a large elevation angle.
Now, Rurik looked at the battle with a bewildered face: "Dad, I'm very surprised, why doesn't Olekin have so many troops to attack immediately?"
"This? You have to ask him yourself."
"It doesn't matter. Our arrows can already cover the enemy. Those stupid guys are so close to us. It's also strange that Olekin is lined up beside the ship."
Otto shrugged and didn't ask much, and soon the appearance of a small boat attracted the attention of the two.
In a short time, the ship approached the Aphrodite, and the messenger nervously conveyed the king's order: "The king... the king ordered your archers to land and support."
"Is Olegin asking me?" Standing on the highest deck, Otto looked down proudly.
The messenger raised his head vigorously and replied tremblingly: "Yes, he needs your...support at any time."
"Okay, I understand." Otto turned his head and patted Rurik's shoulder: "It seems that we are going to announce the start of the decisive battle."
Rurik understood it, and then ordered: "Aphrora! Everyone! Shoot!"
This roar announced that the Kalmar decisive battle had started in a very special way.
How suddenly the war started!
At this moment, more than 60 people stood on the deck of the offshore Aphrodite, and with the non-combatants staying in the cabin, this ship alone contained half of the Russian army's strength.
The big ship is actually one hundred and fifty meters away from the enemy's roaring array, and this distance is all within the range of the lightweight arrows of the Russian army.
In the cognition of almost everyone, no long-range weapon can have such a range. People like Karl, he also saw the "super long-distance" arrow of the Ross people when the army attacked Old Ostra.
At that time, the Russ only shot a few shots, causing an enemy to be penetrated to death.
The circumstances of the deceased made Carl very vigilant for a while, but now that the war hits, he can recognize that the Russian army does have the advantage of long-range weapons, and the current situation once again refreshes his cognition as a man who has seen the world.
Lightweight javelins fired by all ten torsion slingshots whizzed past at a great elevation angle with a buzzing sound.
Followed by the longbowmen from Elronburg, they fired light long arrows for high-elevation projectiles.
There were more than a dozen people, they raised the steel-armed crossbow high, and forcibly fired light bow arrows.
The various arrows are full of iron clusters and all swirling feathers. The southwest wind has never stopped, but the rotating arrows rely heavily on the gyro effect, stupefied to hold the wind.
The buzzing of fifty arrow feathers resembled a swarm of wasps. They overwhelmed the sound of the wind and caused all the Swedish soldiers who were stepping up their formation to raise their heads proudly.
A large number of black "wood sticks" are flying overhead quickly! Do not! They have begun to fall!
After many people raised their shields subconsciously, they discovered that Zaihe Arrows were all rushing towards the enemy.
The arrow descended from the sky with a strong gravitational acceleration, and landed unbiasedly in the enemy's Kalmar army formation.
Those Kalmar fishermen who came one after another were supposed to build as dense and stable needles as possible. Who would have thought that the invaders would first resort to unprecedented tricks.
When they realized the danger was coming, it was too late.
Some people have arrows in their necks, some have their bodies pierced with javelins, and some have their faces cut.
Most people did raise the wooden shield, but they saw the arrow hitting the wooden board, still showing a cluster of metallic arrows on the other side of the board.
Only this one round of attack, given to the two sides that are about to erupt in a fierce battle, will cause an uproar.
And this is just the beginning of the Russian army shooting.
Rurik held on to the ship's bow railing. At this moment, he wished he had a telescope in his hand. He was fortunate that he did not hit the friendly army, and he also saw the commotion of the enemy's front. This expanded the chance of chaos, so he naturally wanted to continue shooting.
"Keep shooting! Torque the slingshot, hit them with clay bullets!"
The mercenaries operating the winch did their best to complete the energy storage of the slingshot as quickly as possible. The fired cone-shaped and cylindrical clay bullets wrapped in Shanghai Leopard Oil were fired under the order of Rurik.
Before that, the Longbowmen had completed two volleys under the command of Telavis.
The Corvin people of the Grey Squirrel tribe are already proficient in archery, and even the Ross fishermen who have taught a kind of settlement in Elronburg have become good archers. They have figured out the performance of these elastic longbows, and the accuracy of the projectile is trustworthy.
The continuous rain of arrows fell, and the Kalmar wooden shields were mostly able to withstand the arrows, but the riots were fermenting. The situation behind their first row of fighters can firmly hold a line behind is really getting chaotic. They do not have a clear command general, and the status quo of fighting each other makes it obvious that they only need to continue to throw arrows to force their array to collapse.
If both sides of the battle have a meticulous formation, and the will of the fighters is strong enough, such fierce battles will not cause great casualties in many cases.
Most of the losses came from the rout after the front line collapsed. The other side chased and killed the fugitive, and the outcome was destined to be very fatal.
Undoubtedly Olekin sensed that the Russ were creating a major fighter for the Swedish army, and he decided not to move. Of course, he didn't dare to act rashly suddenly, and he would become the prey of arrows if he rushed into it.
The blow from the clay bomb is coming! It is equivalent to the weight of a lightweight javelin, because the micro spiral groove is dug out before firing, so that it rotates in flight.
The thrown clay projectile has a weaker range, but the kinetic energy gained when it falls is really stronger.
It's like half a brick falling from a height of nearly 30 meters, directly smashing a shield made of Kalmar pine boards, and even bringing people to the ground. As for those who were hit, they were seriously injured on the spot and bleeding...
Among the many ammunition, perhaps nothing is cheaper than clay ammunition. Its drawback is that it does not cause much damage to protected units. It is only the best at attacking commoner soldiers.
The composition of these clay bombs is not much different from that of red bricks, and they are dark red in themselves. Rurik has always believed in its power, just like when fighting, moving bricks is an excellent melee weapon.
"Reload again!" After Rurik finished the order, he ordered Telavis: "Your people will launch another six rounds and rest afterwards. We can't waste our arrows too much!"
Rurik's order can only be fully implemented on the Aphrora, and only by roaring loudly can the surrounding ships be ordered to shoot what kind of arrows.
The main combatants and weapons are all on the Aphrora, and this ship alone represents more than half of the Russian firepower!
Soldiers manipulating the torsion slingshot can press the loading speed to 20 seconds, that is, two mercenaries with amazing arms work together to turn the winch crazy, the other one just put the greasy projectile into the launch slot, and the other hand pulls the rope contact card. Tenon constraint.
The ship was firmly nailed to the sea due to anchoring, and the elevation angle of the torsion slingshot was also fixed. The six torsion slingshots that were all carried to one side actually achieved the tactical effectiveness of a rapid-fire gun.
The shield was smashed by clay bullets, the arm holding the shield was broken, the head that was hit was shattered on the spot, the chest was hit, and the broken ribs pierced the heart.
The mercenaries of the Aphrodite took off their linen shirts, revealing their furry chests and backs. They are already sweating. In order to maintain the maximum rate of fire of the torsion slingshot, they are doing things with a 100-meter sprint-like physical output.
There are many kinds of bullets, only clay bullets can be wasted. Rurik doesn't care how tired his subordinates are. He has been urging: "Keep shooting, I think the enemy's line will soon collapse."
Evlo, who was shining all over, smiled bitterly: "In this way, our exhaustion is worth it. It would be great if we can really destroy their front."
"Then don't talk nonsense!" Rurik ordered with a stern face.
This sense of seriousness is most to Evlo's temper. After all, this is on the battlefield, and everyone should be alert at all times.
Deadly bullets are constantly falling from the sky, visible to the naked eye!
Arrows and projectiles have caused as many as 200 Kalmar people to be killed or injured. In order to avoid these projectiles, the Kalmar had to evade spontaneously. They had placed their hopes on their shields, but now they can only rely on predicting the impact of the projectiles and avoid them as soon as possible.
When everyone thinks this way, the Kalmarians don’t think about maintaining another front.
Even if one of the Danish fighters decided to bet on his own honor and stand here, but the bullets and arrows are not long-sighted! They were hit with helmets on their heads. They were also rammed into a concussion and lost consciousness, looking like they were smashed to death. The sudden "death" madness challenges the Danes' perception.
As for the average Kalmar fishermen, their front has finally collapsed!
The collapse actually came from the evacuation of a dozen or so people. They dragged their arrow-wounded companions to a safe area, but were considered to be fleeing by others who were on the verge of mental collapse.
honor? How can escape important?
Fifty people fled, followed by a hundred people, another two hundred people, more people...
Panic spread to the entire Kalmar army. They were enthusiastic about fighting the invaders and pushing them down to the sea to drown them. On the contrary, they would be killed by the strange weapons of the invaders again.
The total collapse of the enemy on the shore caused a huge rumbling. It was the enemy who fleeed and panicked and screamed!
"Stop it all!" The beating heart of Rülik ordered the torsion slingshot to relax, and ordered it. All the mercenaries were so tired that they lay directly on the deck and gasped wildly.
Tired and lying down, Evlo felt hot all over his body, and he asked intermittently: "My lord...we...we succeeded?"
"Yes! The enemy's front has collapsed, and Olekin has led his men to launch a full-scale attack."
"Oh, the battle should be over. We... just won?"
"Yes, we won."
It is true that the Kalmar Army, which had been prepared for a long time, had not really fought close combat with the Swedish Army, and was defeated by an unprecedented arrow of confidence, so that it always collapsed.
During the entire process of the enemy's collapse, Otto on the ship saw him innocently. His aging body was trembling unconsciously. He had lived for more than 50 years. It was unexpected that his little boy taught himself what war is today.
Is this way of fighting glorious? No, it's not honorable at all.
However, it is extremely effective.
The arrows and projectiles fired by the ships floating on the sea destroyed the enemies on the land. Otto had to say a long-lived thing about such an unthinkable thing.
Olekin and Karl, and even the other dukes would not recognize the "brave" of the Rus. What they call bravery is a **** battle between warriors. It is a shame that a brave warrior died with an arrow. For archery, I am afraid it is not something that can be arrogantly propagated.
The huge fighter plane is in front of you, let those hypocritical things go to hell!
Olekin and Carl didn't bother to care about the so-called glory, they gave the order of a full-scale attack, and the battle has ended, right?
The charge of the Swedish army, they killed the fleeing enemy, it feels easier than hunting rabbits.
Those servants, Volskas and Saxons, they were all victims of the "Crazy Arrow" of the Ross people. They suddenly forgot the fear of being dominated by arrows and became part of the plundering army.
In peaceful times, the residents of Voskars and the Saxons of Borgholm never considered the residents of Kalmar to be their own people. They don’t have the concept of the country yet~www.novelhall.com~ and now they have a chance to rob and make a fortune, why not go for a vote?
It is also because the Saxons knew very well that Danish merchants in Kalmar would hide their wealth there. People like Stein became the best hunting dog of King Olekin of Sweden!
With Stein and his Saxons leading the way, the Mellaren army is no longer so keen on chasing down and killing enemies, because Olekin knows that if he can't get a lot of wealth to reward the army, his dominance. Will be shaken.
However, the teams of other dukes are very concerned about their immediate interests. No, the hunt quickly turned into a captive. Like Wenderson, Duke of Jälmällen, he and his people have been staying in the inland lake area, and there is not much to do with the Gotlanders. They set out only to act on orders.
Wenderson ordered his men to catch slaves as much as possible, and in the future he would take them back to his hometown and order these captured men to be serfs for farming.
Most of the five hundred people who went on the battle at Yilmallen had already lost more than half. He felt that he had to use this method to ensure that his strength would not drop significantly after the war.
They were all busy catching slaves, kneeling down and begging for mercy and were all spared, and those who resolutely rebel immediately killed them.

Torque the slingshot, hit them with clay bullets!"The mercenaries operating the winch did their best to complete the energy storage of the slingshot as quickly as possible. The fired cone-shaped and cylindrical clay bullets wrapped in Shanghai Leopard Oil were fired under the order of Rurik.Before that, the Longbowmen had completed two volleys under the command of Telavis.The Corvin people of the Grey Squirrel tribe are already proficient in archery, and even the Ross fishermen who have taught a kind of settlement in Elronburg have become good archers. They have figured out the performance of these elastic longbows, and the accuracy of the projectile is trustworthy.The continuous rain of arrows fell, and the Kalmar wooden shields were mostly able to withstand the arrows, but the riots were fermenting. The situation behind their first row of fighters can firmly hold a line behind is really getting chaotic. They do not have a clear command general, and the status quo of fighting each other makes it obvious that they only need to continue to throw arrows to force their array to collapse.If both sides of the battle have a meticulous formation, and the will of the fighters is strong enough, such fierce battles will not cause great casualties in many cases.Most of the losses came from the rout after the front line collapsed. The other side chased and killed the fugitive, and the outcome was destined to be very fatal.Undoubtedly Olekin sensed that the Russ were creating a major fighter for the Swedish army, and he decided not to move. Of course, he didn't dare to act rashly suddenly, and he would become the prey of arrows if he rushed into it.The blow from the clay bomb is coming! It is equivalent to the weight of a lightweight javelin, because the micro spiral groove is dug out before firing, so that it rotates in flight.The thrown clay projectile has a weaker range, but the kinetic energy gained when it falls is really stronger.It's like half a brick falling from a height of nearly 30 meters, directly smashing a shield made of Kalmar pine boards, and even bringing people to the ground. As for those who were hit, they were seriously injured on the spot and bleeding...Among the many ammunition, perhaps nothing is cheaper than clay ammunition. Its drawback is that it does not cause much damage to protected units. It is only the best at attacking commoner soldiers.The composition of these clay bombs is not much different from that of red bricks, and they are dark red in themselves. Rurik has always believed in its power, just like when fighting, moving bricks is an excellent melee weapon."Reload again!" After Rurik finished the order, he ordered Telavis: "Your people will launch another six rounds and rest afterwards. We can't waste our arrows too much!"Rurik's order can only be fully implemented on the Aphrora, and only by roaring loudly can the surrounding ships be ordered to shoot what kind of arrows.The main combatants and weapons are all on the Aphrora, and this ship alone represents more than half of the Russian firepower!Soldiers manipulating the torsion slingshot can press the loading speed to 20 seconds, that is, two mercenaries with amazing arms work together to turn the winch crazy, the other one just put the greasy projectile into the launch slot, and the other hand pulls the rope contact card. Tenon constraint.The ship was firmly nailed to the sea due to anchoring, and the elevation angle of the torsion slingshot was also fixed. The six torsion slingshots that were all carried to one side actually achieved the tactical effectiveness of a rapid-fire gun.The shield was smashed by clay bullets, the arm holding the shield was broken, the head that was hit was shattered on the spot, the chest was hit, and the broken ribs pierced the heart.The mercenaries of the Aphrodite took off their linen shirts, revealing their furry chests and backs. They are already sweating. In order to maintain the maximum rate of fire of the torsion slingshot, they are doing things with a 100-meter sprint-like physical output.There are many kinds of bullets, only clay bullets can be wasted. Rurik doesn't care how tired his subordinates are. He has been urging: "Keep shooting, I think the enemy's line will soon collapse."Evlo, who was shining all over, smiled bitterly: "In this way, our exhaustion is worth it. It would be great if we can really destroy their front.""Then don't talk nonsense!" Rurik ordered with a stern face.This sense of seriousness is most to Evlo's temper. After all, this is on the battlefield, and everyone should be alert at all times.Deadly bullets are constantly falling from the sky, visible to the naked eye!Arrows and projectiles have caused as many as 200 Kalmar people to be killed or injured. In order to avoid these projectiles, the Kalmar had to evade spontaneously. They had placed their hopes on their shields, but now they can only rely on predicting the impact of the projectiles and avoid them as soon as possible.When everyone thinks this way, the Kalmarians don't think about maintaining another front.Even if one of the Danish fighters decided to bet on his own honor and stand here, but the bullets and arrows are not long-sighted! They were hit with helmets on their heads. They were also rammed into a concussion and lost consciousness, looking like they were smashed to death. The sudden "death" madness challenges the Danes' perception.As for the average Kalmar fishermen, their front has finally collapsed!The collapse actually came from the evacuation of a dozen or so people. They dragged their arrow-wounded companions to a safe area, but were considered to be fleeing by others who were on the verge of mental collapse.honor? How can escape important?Fifty people fled, followed by a hundred people, another two hundred people, more people...Panic spread to the entire Kalmar army. They were enthusiastic about fighting the invaders and pushing them down to the sea to drown them. On the contrary, they would be killed by the strange weapons of the invaders again.The total collapse of the enemy on the shore caused a huge rumbling. It was the enemy who fleeed and panicked and screamed!"Stop it all!" The beating heart of Rlik ordered the torsion slingshot to relax, and ordered it. All the mercenaries were so tired that they lay directly on the deck and gasped wildly.Tired and lying down, Evlo felt hot all over his body, and he asked intermittently: "My lord...we...we succeeded?""Yes! The enemy's front has collapsed, and Olekin has led his men to launch a full-scale attack.""Oh, the battle should be over. We... just won?""Yes, we won."It is true that the Kalmar Army, which had been prepared for a long time, had not really fought close combat with the Swedish Army, and was defeated by an unprecedented arrow of confidence, so that it always collapsed.During the entire process of the enemy's collapse, Otto on the ship saw him innocently. His aging body was trembling unconsciously. He had lived for more than 50 years. It was unexpected that his little boy taught himself what war is today.Is this way of fighting glorious? No, it's not honorable at all.However, it is extremely effective.The arrows and projectiles fired by the ships floating on the sea destroyed the enemies on the land. Otto had to say a long-lived thing about such an unthinkable thing.Olekin and Karl, and even the other dukes would not recognize the "brave" of the Rus. What they call bravery is a **** battle between warriors. It is a shame that a brave warrior died with an arrow. For archery, I am afraid it is not something that can be arrogantly propagated.The huge fighter plane is in front of you, let those hypocritical things go to hell!Olekin and Carl didn't bother to care about the so-called glory, they gave the order of a full-scale attack, and the battle has ended, right?The charge of the Swedish army, they killed the fleeing enemy, it feels easier than hunting rabbits.Those servants, Volskas and Saxons, they were all victims of the "Crazy Arrow" of the Ross people. They suddenly forgot the fear of being dominated by arrows and became part of the plundering army.In peaceful times, the residents of Voskars and the Saxons of Borgholm never considered the residents of Kalmar to be their own people. They don't have the concept of the country yet~www.novelhall.com~ and now they have a chance to rob and make a fortune, why not go for a vote?It is also because the Saxons knew very well that Danish merchants in Kalmar would hide their wealth there. People like Stein became the best hunting dog of King Olekin of Sweden!With Stein and his Saxons leading the way, the Mellaren army is no longer so keen on chasing down and killing enemies, because Olekin knows that if he can't get a lot of wealth to reward the army, his dominance. Will be shaken.However, the teams of other dukes are very concerned about their immediate interests. No, the hunt quickly turned into a captive. Like Wenderson, Duke of Jlmllen, he and his people have been staying in the inland lake area, and there is not much to do with the Gotlanders. They set out only to act on orders.Wenderson ordered his men to catch slaves as much as possible, and in the future he would take them back to his hometown and order these captured men to be serfs for farming.Most of the five hundred people who went on the battle at Yilmallen had already lost more than half. He felt that he had to use this method to ensure that his strength would not drop significantly after the war.They were all busy catching slaves, kneeling down and begging for mercy and were all spared, and those who resolutely rebel immediately killed them.
