"The Rise of Rurik (!

The bullet grooves are covered with grease, and the torsion ropes are also quite greasy. The heavy weapon manipulators have been staring at the signal black flag, they saw the attack order, and the fleets launched an attack almost at the same time.

The spin feather javelin smashed into the enemy's formation in a low and flat parabola, accompanied by a large number of cone-shaped cast iron bullets.

The Russian army launched this battle with quite abundance of special projectiles, and there is no reservation in military strength.

These javelins and projectiles have a very fast initial velocity and become the first weapons to strike at the enemy.

I saw some dark shadows smashing towards him without warning, and the Karelian warriors on the shore were unprepared for what happened next.

The javelin hit the first person heavily, often hitting the next person, or even hitting three with one arrow.

The cast iron projectiles were also flying in a spiral, their trajectory was too smooth, the spiral grooves of the projectiles even rubbed the air to produce a low buzzing sound. The projectiles that were originally prepared for breaking the chain armor penetrated the enemy's head and chest, and their huge power smashed people's bones and bones, and the whole person was knocked down in a twisted manner.

The bull trebuchets also came to help. The pebbles fell from the sky, and they smashed down at a very high parabola at an almost vertical angle.

Some people have already begun to defend. Shields covered with deerskins or arrows that can resist Tavastia also have an effect against falling rocks.

But the kinetic energy of the stone was very strong, the shield was smashed and sawdust flew around, many people were hit in the head, shoulder...

The Karelian army suddenly flew in flesh and blood, but this was only the beginning.

The Suomi fighters standing on the deck were shooting arrows. They had a lot of strength. However, their clumsy bows made the arrows only reach the shore, and some arrows were even blown into the water by the north wind.

When the support was not effective, Suomi and Vips servants stopped.

Kewen's longbowmen and steel-armed crossbowmen are showing their power, and even if there is interference from the headwind, their arrows still fall from the sky.

Rurik gave the order to shoot freely. On the port side of the flagship, there are twenty torsion slingshots and five bull catapults. Now the porthole of the captain's room in the bow is also opened, and the launching rail of the slingshot stretches out.

Due to the distance, the Russian army did not show the strongest long-range firepower.

Evlo was not satisfied with the battle. His compatriot Suomi practiced the "Arrow Rain Tactics" under his training, and now it simply cannot be effective.

"My lord. The distance is too far," he said.

"It's okay, let the projectile fly for a while."

"Do you want to defeat them with heavy weapons? I'm afraid it can only be defeated. If you really want to solve the problem, you still have to try to kill their fighters."

Trying to kill the enemy is powerful, Rurik is satisfied with Evlo's clever statement.

Lurik looked at the ongoing war situation and said with emotion: "With our current heavy weapons, it is natural that these people gathering on the sea cannot be wiped out. It will be possible in the future."

"A more powerful weapon?"

"It is the weapon of fire, the power of God, and with the wisdom of God, mortals can also create..."

This is too cryptic, and Jeflo can't understand it. In essence, Rurik was suggesting that the artillery, even if it was a solid shot, its super penetrating power would surely be able to smash a path of blood in the dense array of enemy formations.

Although there is no such big killer, the existing heavy equipment of the Russian army has caused a large number of casualties of the Karelian army.

The deaths and injuries came so suddenly, and deaths are not divided into young and old. The Karelian fighters standing here, especially those in the front row, suffered the most ferocious blow.

Nearly a hundred torsion slingshots were assembled, and the first round of shooting alone caused more than one hundred casualties.

While free shooting is underway, projectiles, javelins, and arrows are harvesting lives.

In a short period of time, the Karelian army has suffered as many as 300 casualties, and the situation is still deteriorating.

Esayras never expected that the war would be like this. Thousands of armies mostly vowed to fend off the enemy on the shore of the lake before the war. Now they are dumbfounded and people are beginning to retreat spontaneously.

"Let's avoid it for the time being and force them to go ashore and fight us!"

Eszailas tried his best to shout, but how did his roar convey the news to all panicked people?

The Karelians are retreating, and seem to have a tendency to evolve into a debacle.

Evlo was taken aback: "It's done. My lord, if they run away one after another, we won't be able to annihilate them."

The enemy's behavior in this way is normal and somewhat abnormal. Rurik nodded: "Let the large troops land. Jeflo, your Suomi flag team follow ashore."

The new signal began to pass, and Arik, who was extremely itchy after the war began, was overjoyed.

A handsome mature man was standing at the bow of the ship. Arik had his left arm around the bow of the ship, and his right arm swung a steel sword.

"Brothers, it's time for the decisive battle, rush with me! Kill them!"

The people on standby roared, and they used large oars to drive the long boat out of the gap of the big boat.

The first flag team was extremely brave and experienced many battles, and the Balmerks of the third flag team immediately followed up.

The big ship put down all the side boats, that is, a small boat can seat up to ten people. The Suomi servants are passing through these small boats to cooperate with the rushing Ross and Balmerk to participate in the battle.

Nearly two thousand people launched a beach landing with the cooperation of heavy weapons.

A strong team suddenly appeared, and Esayras, who was struggling to form the team, was deeply shocked, but he hoped that his opponent would fight with him on the ground. This illusion seemed to be achieved.

Many Karelian fighters escaped far enough, and in order to prevent more people from fleeing, Esayilas had to order his guards to kill the fugitives to restrain the team.

Either because of honor, helplessness, or following the crowd, most of the people who fled slowly stopped.

The Karelians regrouped outside the range of Rose's heavy weapons after dropping the corpse and the wriggling wounded.

Even so, the Karelian army still has more than 4,000 fighters. They lined up in trembling, many people were scared to urinate, and the hands clenching the handles of the spears were shaking.

Eszailas tried his best to sit back and relax, and he ran to the front to shout inspiring slogans.

"Hunters, take your bow, now it's time for us to fight back!"

Sure enough, hundreds of Karelian warriors shot bows and arrows at high elevation angles. After suffering huge losses, they finally began to fight back.

The north wind assisted their arrows. There were mostly bone arrow clusters, not many iron arrow clusters.

The arrows were quite dense, smashing in groups towards the Russ landing field.

Many Russian soldiers felt a trace of fear. Even if the enemy was pulling his hips, the arrows they fired were as dangerous and deadly.

Bolaarik ordered that the soldier who landed first quickly built a shield wall. Seeing the arrow rain hit, he immediately knelt on the ground and shielded his entire torso with an oak shield covered with bronze or animal skin.

Arik yelled a few times to remind everyone to avoid arrows, and he also shielded himself with a shield, but the crackling noise he was expecting didn't exist.

How is this going?

Many people have realized the reason. Even if the co-author is assisted by the wind, the enemy's inferior bow will not be able to injure themselves by firing inferior arrows.

Unfortunately, a large number of injured Karelian fighters suffered. These people were not killed by Rose’s heavy weapons, and were finally smashed into hedgehogs by the dense rain of arrows they fell.

An ear of wheat appeared on the ground. If you look closely, it is all the tail feathers of the arrow shaft.

Arik stood up angrily and looked at the enemies in the distance. He suddenly showed his whole body and lifted up his robe to show the white flesh to the enemy.

Essayllas was angry that he didn't cost enough to shoot his arrows, and he couldn't think of his opponent...

"You are insulting me!"

Thousands of Karelian warriors saw the white flowers on the opposite side, knowing that it was a rampant provocation by the enemy.

The Ross and Balmerks humiliated the enemy and laughed unscrupulously while making indecent moves.

Rurik is still on board, and he has already made it clear that his heavy weapons have suspended support to prevent accidentally injuring friendly forces.

He saw it so earnestly, he couldn't think that his tribe would come again with this set of provocative tactics. Fortunately, the female family is not in the army, and the only woman Carlotta is a high-ranking noble and a man-like woman, so she doesn't have to think about her embarrassment.

This provocation is of course very indecent. It is undeniable that this is a tactic, which is to induce the enemy to take the initiative to attack.

Ross Elite did so as a whole, and a white figure wriggled in front of the array. The humiliation continued to intensify, and some even ran to the nearest Karelian warrior's body, urinating openly with a large shield.

Is there anything more humiliating than this? The Russ army used Viking culture to save others, and it happened that the Karelians also thought this was the most disgusting humiliation.

The furious emotions really quickly overwhelmed the fear, and the angry Esailas quietly discovered that because of the enemy's humiliation, his frightened army was quickly condensing into a heavy punch.

However, all this is the tactics of the Russian army.

Or, it was Arik's improper radical method.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to humiliate the enemy, as many as 800 Ming Suomi and Vips Archer landed successfully, followed by soldiers on the way to the beach.

Twenty torsion slingshots have been placed on the long ship. They have been fixed on the trolley and have been directly moved by the strong fighters since the long ship washed ashore.

More than 700 Ross fighters in the front row collectively made indecent moves to taunt. Everyone knew that the enemy's arrows could not reach him, and his behavior became extremely bold and unrestrained. This was just to buy time for the brothers behind.

Jeflo didn't comment on Arik's actions. He tried his best to assemble two Suomi flag teams to make the soldiers line up, holding a bow in his left hand, and sticking ten iron arrows in the mud.

And those torsion slingshots have been quietly pushed behind the soldiers waiting for melee combat, and they have been concealed by their presence. The slingshot has already been charged, and if it goes off, it can hit the friendly army in front of it to death.

While provoking, the Russian army was observing the enemy's movements through the corner of his eyes.

Arik had a hunch that the murderous aura emitted by the opposing enemy line became more and more intense, like a gunpowder keg in a high temperature, which would explode at any time.

He stood up suddenly and questioned Evlo's situation: "Are your arrows ready?"

"Basically good!"

"Very good! Remember our tactics before the bonfire, brother, let's annihilate them!"

Jeflo was very pleased to be called a brother. He knows what Arik is. This guy is love and trustworthy. Of course the men he likes are brave fighters.

Suomi's two flag teams are by no means pure archers. There are also short spears and axes on the ground, and even well-equipped heavy-armored mercenaries. The Suomi people will eventually become a melee fighting force, but when they act like this, the battle should come to an end.

The first and third two flag teams, a total of three hundred crossbowmen did not participate in the provocation, their weapons have been charged. After nearly a thousand people, their arrows were all on the bow handle...

The Ross army is standing on the beach, and they have completed the array just waiting for work.

Finally, the enemy that everyone was looking forward to took the initiative to attack, and finally began!

"For our glory! Go ahead!" Essailas took the lead, and his brave move instantly detonated the powder keg.

Since the archery could not shoot the intruder, the Karelians picked up a spear and launched a group attack.

The crazy charge of four thousand people seemed to the Russ army to repeat history.

But this is not Gotland, and the Karelians are far less powerful than the old Gotland army.

The Ross Army was not in a hurry, and the soldiers carrying their big shields and preparing to hit and killed one after another gave way out of the road in an organized manner. The trolley was pushed out, and the torsion slingshot was launched directly.

The flat-fired projectile directly kills and rushes the fastest, and this can only weaken the enemy's spirit.

The crossbowmen immediately pulled the trigger through the gap in the shield. They had only one chance, but they also directly killed more than a hundred enemies!

The hand-to-hand combat is about to break out, the Karelians shoot arrows while they are running, and their arrows begin to fall into the Russian army. The armored fighters are basically immune to these bone arrow clusters, and the Suomi flag team also launched a counterattack.

If the Russian army can hit the arrow, it basically means that the enemy will hit the arrow again.

However, there was another buzzing in the air, it was Rurik, who resumed heavy weapon support. As long as the Russian army does not take the initiative to attack, it will not be accidentally injured.

Suffering from the impact of projectiles, and even a large number of arrows from the enemy line smashing head and face, Essayllas knew that he was extremely passive.

However, the Karelian army has launched a full-scale offensive. If it cannot push the enemy into the water, it is the result of the enemy's frantic killing.

Many invaders come here clearly and well prepared. They are heavily equipped and will soon be drowned if they fall into the water.

It seems that relying on the superiority of existing forces, pushing the invaders into the lake is the only chance of winning.

But Esayras didn't know that the army reunited due to unbearable humiliation and outburst of anger, they were not far from collapsing again.

Before the enemy was received, there were 1,000 casualties. The Karelian army is still suffering losses, and short-term engagement is about to break out.

They can't stop. The only chance to survive is to crush the enemy and push the intruder into the lake. Even if they hesitate to run slowly, they will be trampled to death by the brothers behind.

The Ross army shield wall has been erected, and everyone assumes a collision-proof posture. The first row of fighters clenched their steel swords, the second row of shields pressed against the front row, and the third row of fighters had already clenched their long-handled halberds.

The collision broke out, and the front line suddenly became bloody.

The Ross army frontline fighter hid behind the big shield, and the steel sword slammed forward through the gap frantically.

The soldiers in the back row held swords to help the battle, and the halberds and long-handled battle axes of the third row fell from the sky, pecking the enemy's heads to blossom.

Any enemy theory that rushes to the front will be attacked by three Russian soldiers. Not only is the big shield in front of the gap dangerous, but the top of the head is also dangerous.

The Karelian army gave it a last shot. After all, they did not break through the array of the Russian army. Now, although this is the home of the Karelian tribe, it has completely turned into the home of the Russian army.

This is still a daze. Rurik is very happy to expect that the enemy is simple and reckless. The Russian army seems to be passively beaten with the least creative tactics, but it turns into a wait for work.

After the chaos fought for a while, the blood of the Karelian army had gathered into a river, and the lake began to be stained red.

The shield wall of the Russ began to push back, accidentally injured or the dead were pulled to the rear, and people in the back replenished their positions.

The tortoise formation of the Centurion of the Roman Legion is naturally more mobile and agile. Rurik’s Rus Army is still adhering to the barbarian style of play, but the pincers, the most efficient tactic of annihilation warfare, have been used thoroughly by the Rus.

The time is ripe, and the enemy has lost all momentum.

Suomi's two flag teams, together with heavy-armored mercenaries such as Grund sent by Rülik, were divided into two groups~www.novelhall.com~, they took the left and right wings of the central army, and suddenly attacked from the guard state.

The crab opened its two large pincers to ensure that the encirclement and annihilation battle was underway, and the Russian army planned to wipe out the Karelian army.

However, Esayilas, who was injured in his arm and pulled to the back by his hand, noticed that the intruder was like a greedy bear. Correct! Some giants with bear heads covered in iron are killing wildly!

Morale has collapsed, and everyone is fleeing spontaneously.

Essaylas blushed. He didn't care about the escape of the tribe. He pushed away the guards and rushed towards the enemy against the fleeing crowd. He slammed into the encirclement that the Russian army began to condense. Glory, fight to death for the ancestor spirit...
