, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!
Rurik wants to cultivate the entire Novgorod region, and he will not hunt here like a hunter like a hunter in the past half a century.
Sorgon sailing will give way to regular taxes, and outsiders who collect "protection fees" will become the real kings here.
Rigus's White Tree Manor is already relatively strong, and Usky from the Calf Manor and Tory from the angler are far inferior. The three of them all interpreted the great future opportunities from Rurik's declaration of honor, and the loyalty they pledged came from the heart.
This group of local Slavs has no clear noble pursuits and beliefs. Worshiping the great **** Peron or worshiping the invincible Odin is not all of their lives. They are pure farmers. Fishing, hunting and logging are all added to agriculture. Only by allowing them to obtain vast farmland by various means can they exchange their loyalty.
How to get farmland?
Land reclamation is a means, but it takes some years to bring a steady stream of land wealth.
Launching a war against neighboring countries and plundering the farmland of the locals to grow their own wheat involves huge risks, and the gains made induce people to go desperately. Similarly, farmland owners will desperately fall to the ground with invaders in order to defend their farmland. Such people will not fight for the "warrior belief" at all. They fight for everything they own.
It was such an enemy, even if they looked weak, Rurik had to face it cautiously.
This is an era of the weak and the strong. The White Tree Manor was a military force that was no match for the Pine Needle Manor, so he was forced to choose peace. It almost voluntarily withdrew from the fertile Lake Ilmen, surrendering the farmland he cultivated in the past, and had In the dense forest, the trees were cut to expand the fields, and after a period of life on the roads and blue strands, new acres were opened up on the Volkhov River.
The heart of revenge passed on from generation to generation, and the farmers of White Tree Manor took up arms to regain the farmland of their ancestors. Morally, they had no scruples, and even killed their opponents without mercy.
As the real duke, Rurik began to lay out his battle resolutions.
"We will take the initiative to launch a comprehensive and powerful offensive. Even if they have ten thousand people, the current situation of our army should have a lot of troops!" Rurik motioned to Rigus with his eyes.
"Yes, Lord Duke. My Medvedt leads the flag team, and its strength is still eight hundred. Just like in previous battles, their spear wall can stab all approaching enemies."
Rigus’ reply was very confident. He added: “My farm’s population is not what it used to be. There are still many young and old people who can take up weapons, even if they take sharp wooden poles, male and female fighters. Taken together, I... can still bring out another 2,000 fighters."
The new two thousand fighters?
Rurik was a little surprised: "I did see a big farm. Tell me, what is your current population?"
"This...probably more than five thousand people."
"So many?! Do you still dare to call yourself a small farm?!" How can Rurik not be surprised? A farm with five thousand people, placed on the banks of Lake Mälaren in Sweden, is a powerful force. This Rigus can call himself a prince, and his manor can call himself a city-state.
Obviously, Rigus still didn't know how strong he was. Perhaps their fear of Pine Needle Manor still couldn't be gradually improved because of the increase in size.
Otto took the opportunity to signal: "Rurik, this is your first time in Novgorod. Unlike me, I have been here every year for 20 years. The population growth of the White Tree Manor is just a few of these. Year's matter."
"Right, right, right." Rigus immediately complimented: "These are the gifts of the great Ross people. Our life has changed for the better. Many people from other farms have boldly moved to my place, and even your territory."
"Not only that." Otto smiled: "Those people, use your farm as a springboard to move to Fort Shilla."
If Rurik declared that it was smart to directly inform Novgorod to rule Novgorod, Otto's strategy of pulling one faction against one faction is nothing more than a clever plan.
The Slavs in this area of the lake are actually divided into three waves. There are those who support Ross and who fall on the fence.
Neither Rurik nor Otto had any thoughts of these people.
There is only one thing Rurik wants to know precisely-what is the population of Pine Needle Manor, the main enemy?
Specifically, there are really 10,000 men and women who can afford weapons?
When it comes to the most critical issue, Rigus, Toli, and Uski are all ambiguous.
They frowned slightly, and Rurik was very annoyed: "I want to ask you something. Their total population must be 20,000? Give me an accurate count."
"Definitely not twenty thousand." Tory said.
Uski hurriedly denied: "There may be only 10,000 people."
"They persecuted us and forbid the people of White Tree Manor to inquire about their population." Rigus said regretfully: "At least I can't face them."
Rurik clenched the faint golden beard of his chin: "Then consider that they do have ten thousand armed men. What is our total strength now? Rigus, those two thousand men you call are not counted. Pick out ten for me. Men from five to fifty years old. How many people can there be?"
"Probably four hundred more people can be added."
"Then your people are a total of 1,200 people." Rurik concluded.
"It's still only four hundred. Because the Slavic flag team is your fighter."
"You... are right." Rurik turned to ask Toli and Usky, "You two also handed over an army at this age."
Tory blurted out: "Reluctantly two hundred people."
In order not to lose to him, Usky gritted his teeth: "I am also two hundred."
"So you can send up to 800 troops? Not too much, but not too many. The soldiers you call are farmers, and in my eyes they are not real fighters. I am their commander, and I will not let them lead the battle. . You can rest assured that your people who act according to my plan will not suffer losses in battle, or even be injured. Unless, you violate my arrangements."
The three looked at each other and said nothing.
As for the real strength of the Russian army, it is very clear.
The Warriors 1st and 3rd Banners were fully reorganized after reorganization, with a total of 1,000 Varyag warriors in classic costumes. They wore uniform uniforms, and the two interlaced blue stripes stitched on the chest of the gown were a symbol of Rose. The warriors all have round wooden shields that can protect the entire torso. The shields may be covered with leather or reinforced with thin bronze skin. The surface is also painted. Most of them are coated with pine glue and sprinkled with chalk powder. Then apply Isatis Blue dye.
Otto brought some old guys from the Second Banner team this time. He lost some veterans. There are still more than one hundred people. They are thirsty for revenge and swore to have no information on the villains of the attacker Pine Needle Manor. But the little Conusson brought more than a hundred people, and these people were simply incorporated into the second flag team, making the flag team more than 300 troops.
The Slavic flag team has eight hundred warriors, and their weaponry is almost a spear. Fortunately, they have received training, and most of them have experienced the decisive battle in Gotland. Those who have experienced large-scale war scenes are not afraid of new wars. Moreover, most of them came from White Tree Manor, and a large number of people came from other manors other than Pine Needle Manor. They are all New Rosses now and are directly responsible to the Duke of Ross himself. So Rigus’s remarks are completely correct. This "Lance Spear Team" is only loyal to Rurik.
As for the flag team, this team is a mixed bag. Young and old, there are elite mercenaries, armed sailors, Finnish sciences, and surrender Danes.
There are also allied forces of Ostara led by Carlotta. For the time being, these people have also been assigned to the flag team.
The flag team is like a big basket with all kinds of people stuffing it. But no one can deny that they can show their strong combat effectiveness in a special way.
As a result, the real strength of the Rus army is as many as 2,700.
Ross's main force is indeed the case, and it is by no means exhausted. Even so, such an army in the erosion and gloomy Europe at the moment can kill all the way from Bremen to Rome on the border of the Frankish kingdom.
After Rurik pinched his fingers and counted the forces he could accurately control, Rigus, an old fellow, couldn't hide his worries.
"My lord, are we going to fight Vadim's 10,000 people with more than 3,000 people?"
"Why? Are you actually scared?" Ruriek asked harshly.
"No." Rigus sighed and hurriedly denied: "I didn't say that the Ross army was low. It's just..."
"It's just that there are so many enemies that make you scared. Rigus, you still have peace of mind to be a rich man. You don't know about wars, so don't mix things up."
"Yes."
"However, the three manor owners you are present still have to bring their own fighters to participate in the battle. Now is my specific tactical arrangement."
The White Tree, the Calf, and the Angler Manor, they can summon at least 800 so-called peasant forces. Rurik did not believe in the combat effectiveness of these untrained people. They lacked organization, and their individual physique was worse than that of the Ross fighters. They could only fight downwind, so they would serve as auxiliary troops in the new battle, even unworthy. Completely unable to advance with the Russian army. This is a bunch of cumbersomes, and it is cumbersome that has certain uses.
Rurik believed that they had really arranged a task for them. These three guys could squeeze out all the fighting power of their manor, one to vent their hatred, and the other to flatter the ruler of the Rus.
What he worries most is the meaningless death of this group of farmers, because the large amount of vacant farmland that appeared after the war still needs these people to cultivate.
Based on these realistic factors, Lurik arranged a land advance tactic for the three of them. It is the peasant army of the three manors who brought their own various weapons to form a whole. When the Ross Fleet launched a strong attack on the enemy's Pine Needle Manor, they went overland to the Pine Needle Manor.
These farmer fighters must tie a cloth or hemp rope on both their left and right arms, and wrap a cloth strip around their foreheads to show their identity and avoid misunderstandings in a state of scuffle.
The "Nine Changes" of "The Art of War" once described it as "generals may be used by the enemy because they are too benevolent; they may be too cherish the power of the people and restrict the use of tactics."
Rurik does have such a problem. What he cherishes is not the people of the hostile forces, but the farms of these three **** servants. He intended that he did not want these guys to join the battle, but they were indispensable in this battle.
The three farmer soldiers of Rigus will march on the river and arrive at the periphery of Pine Needle Manor. Whether to march or not depends on the situation. Once the Ross army enters the farm and the battle is in the most chaotic situation, their group will take the opportunity to kill. In a sense, this group of them is a tactical reserve team, a reserve team with poor combat effectiveness, and the value of its existence is to exacerbate chaos. They also made a more cruel task-to kill anyone who saw Pine Needle Manor.
Rurik, who gave this order, was like a slaughter. He used to resent such a tyrant, but when his power was to take Ross to face many life and death tests, the brave man also became a dragon.
He had no burden in his heart, and the order given to the Ross army was exactly the same.
The Ross army will take a ship to enter Lake Ilmen by water, and Pine Needle Manor will see the style of the strongest Nordic navy in this era.
Lake wars will be nonexistent, and the Slavs’ canoes are meaningless in front of the sheer size of the Aphrora-class sail cruisers.
The Russian army will have a landing battle, but the landing battle is not as violent as a beach landing.
Since we have very good long-range weapons, we should try our best to develop their strong combat power.
Now, Aphrora, Spellosville, Duke of Ostara, Grey Squirrel, and Chief Salmon. Only these five sail cruisers are equipped with fifty torsion slingshots.
Mercury, Venus, Mona, Mas, Ubit, Saturn, and Uranos, these seven sail destroyers also have a total of 42 torsion slingshots.
In addition, as many as twenty torsion slingshots will be mobilized to dispose of them, and Rurik has also prepared a trolley for these weapons, which were originally used as heavy land weapons.
There are also twenty-five bull trebuchets, with no accuracy. The advantage is that it can throw all kinds of stones, and fist-sized pebbles can be thrown 300 meters away.
Basically, the sailors and the flag team are controlling these heavy weapons. It is reasonable that these terrifying ship-borne and land weapons will first give the enemy a heavy blow.
Rurik always believes that fighting at close range is a very stupid tactic, especially the sword and shield fighting is too dangerous.
Gunpowder weapons can be created based on Ross's current strength. For the time being, Rick has no idea of conquering this aspect of technology. The biggest reason is that the existing weaponry situation is already overbearing in Northern and Eastern Europe.
The 2,700 Ross fighters will be divided into sail cruisers, sail destroyers, armed cargo ships, and as many as thirty traditional long ships.
It is the most traditional long ship, and the landing battle on the lake has the most tactical value. Because they themselves are the most suitable landing craft!
Thirty long ships were slightly squeezed. The elite soldiers of the first and third flag teams struggled to paddle. A thousand warriors will be the first landing army. They are engaged in similar work to Ma Run.
Arik and Helafide will open up the situation at the landing beach, but I am afraid that the first thing they will face is a dead body on the beach.
Rurik decided to deliberately set aside the fleet, flank each ship against the enemy, and deliberately stood still for some time to allow the enemy to gather forces, and lure them into a long-range attack after arraying (at least in a group) by the lake.
What kind of tactic is this? It is indeed the most classic co-operative tactics for land and sea beach landings since ancient times. It's just that the iron armored ship is now a wooden hull ship, the steel heavy artillery is now a torsion slingshot, and the landing craft are all Viking long ships.
"I hope they really gather 10,000 people by the lake, so that our hundreds of torsion slingshots can kill 10,000 of them at once. I hope they are as tough as pine trees, so that our people will spend some time, You can kill them all with arrows, javelins, and stone bullets."
Rurik's summary drew everyone to applaud.
Because the opponents are not real Vikings, Arik and others have no intention of fighting against such a rebellious farmer. The opponents are not worthy, so **** them has nothing to do with them.
It is not appropriate to formulate complex tactics in the current era. It is precisely because the generals are unable to deliver new orders to the grassroots units in a very short time. Since the delay is too long, they have to formulate a tactical framework.
Rurik concluded: "I don’t have much military rations. My main enemy this year is the Karelians. The crusade against rebellion is an accident that must be dealt with. I will give you a day’s rest tomorrow, and we will start in two days. War! Attention, this time we are not punishing the rebellious Vadim of Pine Needle Manor. Pine Needle Manor will no longer exist after the war. You should understand what I mean!"
The people present looked at each other ~www.novelhall.com~ and laughed, but their smiles were hideous.
But the rebels of Pine Needle Manor were miserable. They brought a variety of weapons to congratulate Vadim "Prince of Novgorod" and follow him to resist the invaders of Rose. It's a pity that they don't even know what kind of terrible enemy they have provoked. What the armed farmer sees is an astonishing number of companions gathered, and everyone's morale is high!
But what they look like now is almost the same as a tortoise with a shrunken head. Vadim did not plan an active attack, at least not yet. He consciously prepared a huge army, determined to hold a grand sacrifice on the summer solstice, summoned the chiefs and priests of the farms, and used the beheaded Rus as a sacrifice, becoming the well-deserved Prince of Novgorod .
Even though they all knew that the Russ ship was anchored in the waters of the Volkhov River in the lake. Their optimism caused them to misjudge the situation seriously, and even the defect of a small manor and a family was ignored. They naively believed that the Ross ship did not go deep into the lake as a sign of timidity, and the people of Pine Needle Manor did not take the initiative to attack. It seems that this is a subtle confrontation?
Pooh! The stupid Vadim could not have imagined that the elite main force and the strongest fleet of Kung Fu Rus who had killed all over Northern Europe in just a few days had gathered in the Volkhov River, as if the arrow had been hitting the bowstring.

Even though they all knew that the Russ ship was anchored in the waters of the Volkhov River in the lake. Their optimism caused them to misjudge the situation seriously, and even the defect of a small manor and a family was ignored. They naively believed that the Ross ship did not go deep into the lake as a sign of timidity, and the people of Pine Needle Manor did not take the initiative to attack. It seems that this is a subtle confrontation?
Pooh! The stupid Vadim could not have imagined that the elite main force and the strongest fleet of Kung Fu Rus who had killed all over Northern Europe in just a few days had gathered in the Volkhov River, as if the arrow had been hitting the bowstring.
, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!Rurik wants to cultivate the entire Novgorod region, and he will not hunt here like a hunter like a hunter in the past half a century.Sorgon sailing will give way to regular taxes, and outsiders who collect "protection fees" will become the real kings here.Rigus's White Tree Manor is already relatively strong, and Usky from the Calf Manor and Tory from the angler are far inferior. The three of them all interpreted the great future opportunities from Rurik's declaration of honor, and the loyalty they pledged came from the heart.This group of local Slavs has no clear noble pursuits and beliefs. Worshiping the great **** Peron or worshiping the invincible Odin is not all of their lives. They are pure farmers. Fishing, hunting and logging are all added to agriculture. Only by allowing them to obtain vast farmland by various means can they exchange their loyalty.How to get farmland?Land reclamation is a means, but it takes some years to bring a steady stream of land wealth.Launching a war against neighboring countries and plundering the farmland of the locals to grow their own wheat involves huge risks, and the gains made induce people to go desperately. Similarly, farmland owners will desperately fall to the ground with invaders in order to defend their farmland. Such people will not fight for the "warrior belief" at all. They fight for everything they own.It was such an enemy, even if they looked weak, Rurik had to face it cautiously.This is an era of the weak and the strong. The White Tree Manor was a military force that was no match for the Pine Needle Manor, so he was forced to choose peace. It almost voluntarily withdrew from the fertile Lake Ilmen, surrendering the farmland he cultivated in the past, and had In the dense forest, the trees were cut to expand the fields, and after a period of life on the roads and blue strands, new acres were opened up on the Volkhov River.The heart of revenge passed on from generation to generation, and the farmers of White Tree Manor took up arms to regain the farmland of their ancestors. Morally, they had no scruples, and even killed their opponents without mercy.As the real duke, Rurik began to lay out his battle resolutions."We will take the initiative to launch a comprehensive and powerful offensive. Even if they have ten thousand people, the current situation of our army should have a lot of troops!" Rurik motioned to Rigus with his eyes."Yes, Lord Duke. My Medvedt leads the flag team, and its strength is still eight hundred. Just like in previous battles, their spear wall can stab all approaching enemies."Rigus' reply was very confident. He added: My farm's population is not what it used to be. There are still many young and old people who can take up weapons, even if they take sharp wooden poles, male and female fighters. Taken together, I... can still bring out another 2,000 fighters."The new two thousand fighters?Rurik was a little surprised: "I did see a big farm. Tell me, what is your current population?""This...probably more than five thousand people.""So many?! Do you still dare to call yourself a small farm?!" How can Rurik not be surprised? A farm with five thousand people, placed on the banks of Lake Mlaren in Sweden, is a powerful force. This Rigus can call himself a prince, and his manor can call himself a city-state.Obviously, Rigus still didn't know how strong he was. Perhaps their fear of Pine Needle Manor still couldn't be gradually improved because of the increase in size.Otto took the opportunity to signal: "Rurik, this is your first time in Novgorod. Unlike me, I have been here every year for 20 years. The population growth of the White Tree Manor is just a few of these. Year's matter.""Right, right, right." Rigus immediately complimented: "These are the gifts of the great Ross people. Our life has changed for the better. Many people from other farms have boldly moved to my place, and even your territory.""Not only that." Otto smiled: "Those people, use your farm as a springboard to move to Fort Shilla."If Rurik declared that it was smart to directly inform Novgorod to rule Novgorod, Otto's strategy of pulling one faction against one faction is nothing more than a clever plan.The Slavs in this area of the lake are actually divided into three waves. There are those who support Ross and who fall on the fence.Neither Rurik nor Otto had any thoughts of these people.There is only one thing Rurik wants to know precisely-what is the population of Pine Needle Manor, the main enemy?Specifically, there are really 10,000 men and women who can afford weapons?When it comes to the most critical issue, Rigus, Toli, and Uski are all ambiguous.They frowned slightly, and Rurik was very annoyed: "I want to ask you something. Their total population must be 20,000? Give me an accurate count.""Definitely not twenty thousand." Tory said.Uski hurriedly denied: "There may be only 10,000 people.""They persecuted us and forbid the people of White Tree Manor to inquire about their population." Rigus said regretfully: "At least I can't face them."Rurik clenched the faint golden beard of his chin: "Then consider that they do have ten thousand armed men. What is our total strength now? Rigus, those two thousand men you call are not counted. Pick out ten for me. Men from five to fifty years old. How many people can there be?""Probably four hundred more people can be added.""Then your people are a total of 1,200 people." Rurik concluded."It's still only four hundred. Because the Slavic flag team is your fighter.""You... are right." Rurik turned to ask Toli and Usky, "You two also handed over an army at this age."Tory blurted out: "Reluctantly two hundred people."In order not to lose to him, Usky gritted his teeth: "I am also two hundred.""So you can send up to 800 troops? Not too much, but not too many. The soldiers you call are farmers, and in my eyes they are not real fighters. I am their commander, and I will not let them lead the battle. . You can rest assured that your people who act according to my plan will not suffer losses in battle, or even be injured. Unless, you violate my arrangements."The three looked at each other and said nothing.As for the real strength of the Russian army, it is very clear.The Warriors 1st and 3rd Banners were fully reorganized after reorganization, with a total of 1,000 Varyag warriors in classic costumes. They wore uniform uniforms, and the two interlaced blue stripes stitched on the chest of the gown were a symbol of Rose. The warriors all have round wooden shields that can protect the entire torso. The shields may be covered with leather or reinforced with thin bronze skin. The surface is also painted. Most of them are coated with pine glue and sprinkled with chalk powder. Then apply Isatis Blue dye.Otto brought some old guys from the Second Banner team this time. He lost some veterans. There are still more than one hundred people. They are thirsty for revenge and swore to have no information on the villains of the attacker Pine Needle Manor. But the little Conusson brought more than a hundred people, and these people were simply incorporated into the second flag team, making the flag team more than 300 troops.The Slavic flag team has eight hundred warriors, and their weaponry is almost a spear. Fortunately, they have received training, and most of them have experienced the decisive battle in Gotland. Those who have experienced large-scale war scenes are not afraid of new wars. Moreover, most of them came from White Tree Manor, and a large number of people came from other manors other than Pine Needle Manor. They are all New Rosses now and are directly responsible to the Duke of Ross himself. So Rigus's remarks are completely correct. This "Lance Spear Team" is only loyal to Rurik.As for the flag team, this team is a mixed bag. Young and old, there are elite mercenaries, armed sailors, Finnish sciences, and surrender Danes.There are also allied forces of Ostara led by Carlotta. For the time being, these people have also been assigned to the flag team.The flag team is like a big basket with all kinds of people stuffing it. But no one can deny that they can show their strong combat effectiveness in a special way.As a result, the real strength of the Rus army is as many as 2,700.Ross's main force is indeed the case, and it is by no means exhausted. Even so, such an army in the erosion and gloomy Europe at the moment can kill all the way from Bremen to Rome on the border of the Frankish kingdom.After Rurik pinched his fingers and counted the forces he could accurately control, Rigus, an old fellow, couldn't hide his worries."My lord, are we going to fight Vadim's 10,000 people with more than 3,000 people?""Why? Are you actually scared?" Ruriek asked harshly."No." Rigus sighed and hurriedly denied: "I didn't say that the Ross army was low. It's just...""It's just that there are so many enemies that make you scared. Rigus, you still have peace of mind to be a rich man. You don't know about wars, so don't mix things up.""Yes.""However, the three manor owners you are present still have to bring their own fighters to participate in the battle. Now is my specific tactical arrangement."The White Tree, the Calf, and the Angler Manor, they can summon at least 800 so-called peasant forces. Rurik did not believe in the combat effectiveness of these untrained people. They lacked organization, and their individual physique was worse than that of the Ross fighters. They could only fight downwind, so they would serve as auxiliary troops in the new battle, even unworthy. Completely unable to advance with the Russian army. This is a bunch of cumbersomes, and it is cumbersome that has certain uses.Rurik believed that they had really arranged a task for them. These three guys could squeeze out all the fighting power of their manor, one to vent their hatred, and the other to flatter the ruler of the Rus.What he worries most is the meaningless death of this group of farmers, because the large amount of vacant farmland that appeared after the war still needs these people to cultivate.Based on these realistic factors, Lurik arranged a land advance tactic for the three of them. It is the peasant army of the three manors who brought their own various weapons to form a whole. When the Ross Fleet launched a strong attack on the enemy's Pine Needle Manor, they went overland to the Pine Needle Manor.These farmer fighters must tie a cloth or hemp rope on both their left and right arms, and wrap a cloth strip around their foreheads to show their identity and avoid misunderstandings in a state of scuffle.The "Nine Changes" of "The Art of War" once described it as "generals may be used by the enemy because they are too benevolent; they may be too cherish the power of the people and restrict the use of tactics."Rurik does have such a problem. What he cherishes is not the people of the hostile forces, but the farms of these three **** servants. He intended that he did not want these guys to join the battle, but they were indispensable in this battle.The three farmer soldiers of Rigus will march on the river and arrive at the periphery of Pine Needle Manor. Whether to march or not depends on the situation. Once the Ross army enters the farm and the battle is in the most chaotic situation, their group will take the opportunity to kill. In a sense, this group of them is a tactical reserve team, a reserve team with poor combat effectiveness, and the value of its existence is to exacerbate chaos. They also made a more cruel task-to kill anyone who saw Pine Needle Manor.Rurik, who gave this order, was like a slaughter. He used to resent such a tyrant, but when his power was to take Ross to face many life and death tests, the brave man also became a dragon.He had no burden in his heart, and the order given to the Ross army was exactly the same.The Ross army will take a ship to enter Lake Ilmen by water, and Pine Needle Manor will see the style of the strongest Nordic navy in this era.Lake wars will be nonexistent, and the Slavs' canoes are meaningless in front of the sheer size of the Aphrora-class sail cruisers.The Russian army will have a landing battle, but the landing battle is not as violent as a beach landing.Since we have very good long-range weapons, we should try our best to develop their strong combat power.Now, Aphrora, Spellosville, Duke of Ostara, Grey Squirrel, and Chief Salmon. Only these five sail cruisers are equipped with fifty torsion slingshots.Mercury, Venus, Mona, Mas, Ubit, Saturn, and Uranos, these seven sail destroyers also have a total of 42 torsion slingshots.In addition, as many as twenty torsion slingshots will be mobilized to dispose of them, and Rurik has also prepared a trolley for these weapons, which were originally used as heavy land weapons.There are also twenty-five bull trebuchets, with no accuracy. The advantage is that it can throw all kinds of stones, and fist-sized pebbles can be thrown 300 meters away.Basically, the sailors and the flag team are controlling these heavy weapons. It is reasonable that these terrifying ship-borne and land weapons will first give the enemy a heavy blow.Rurik always believes that fighting at close range is a very stupid tactic, especially the sword and shield fighting is too dangerous.Gunpowder weapons can be created based on Ross's current strength. For the time being, Rick has no idea of conquering this aspect of technology. The biggest reason is that the existing weaponry situation is already overbearing in Northern and Eastern Europe.The 2,700 Ross fighters will be divided into sail cruisers, sail destroyers, armed cargo ships, and as many as thirty traditional long ships.It is the most traditional long ship, and the landing battle on the lake has the most tactical value. Because they themselves are the most suitable landing craft!Thirty long ships were slightly squeezed. The elite soldiers of the first and third flag teams struggled to paddle. A thousand warriors will be the first landing army. They are engaged in similar work to Ma Run.Arik and Helafide will open up the situation at the landing beach, but I am afraid that the first thing they will face is a dead body on the beach.Rurik decided to deliberately set aside the fleet, flank each ship against the enemy, and deliberately stood still for some time to allow the enemy to gather forces, and lure them into a long-range attack after arraying at least in a group by the lake.What kind of tactic is this? It is indeed the most classic co-operative tactics for land and sea beach landings since ancient times. It's just that the iron armored ship is now a wooden hull ship, the steel heavy artillery is now a torsion slingshot, and the landing craft are all Viking long ships."I hope they really gather 10,000 people by the lake, so that our hundreds of torsion slingshots can kill 10,000 of them at once. I hope they are as tough as pine trees, so that our people will spend some time, You can kill them all with arrows, javelins, and stone bullets."Rurik's summary drew everyone to applaud.Because the opponents are not real Vikings, Arik and others have no intention of fighting against such a rebellious farmer. The opponents are not worthy, so **** them has nothing to do with them.It is not appropriate to formulate complex tactics in the current era. It is precisely because the generals are unable to deliver new orders to the grassroots units in a very short time. Since the delay is too long, they have to formulate a tactical framework.Rurik concluded: "I don't have much military rations. My main enemy this year is the Karelians. The crusade against rebellion is an accident that must be dealt with. I will give you a day's rest tomorrow, and we will start in two days. War! Attention, this time we are not punishing the rebellious Vadim of Pine Needle Manor. Pine Needle Manor will no longer exist after the war. You should understand what I mean!"The people present looked at each other ~www.novelhall.com~ and laughed, but their smiles were hideous.But the rebels of Pine Needle Manor were miserable. They brought a variety of weapons to congratulate Vadim "Prince of Novgorod" and follow him to resist the invaders of Rose. It's a pity that they don't even know what kind of terrible enemy they have provoked. What the armed farmer sees is an astonishing number of companions gathered, and everyone's morale is high!But what they look like now is almost the same as a tortoise with a shrunken head. Vadim did not plan an active attack, at least not yet. He consciously prepared a huge army, determined to hold a grand sacrifice on the summer solstice, summoned the chiefs and priests of the farms, and used the beheaded Rus as a sacrifice, becoming the well-deserved Prince of Novgorod .Even though they all knew that the Russ ship was anchored in the waters of the Volkhov River in the lake. Their optimism caused them to misjudge the situation seriously, and even the defect of a small manor and a family was ignored. They naively believed that the Ross ship did not go deep into the lake as a sign of timidity, and the people of Pine Needle Manor did not take the initiative to attack. It seems that this is a subtle confrontation?Pooh! The stupid Vadim could not have imagined that the elite main force and the strongest fleet of Kung Fu Rus who had killed all over Northern Europe in just a few days had gathered in the Volkhov River, as if the arrow had been hitting the bowstring.
