Carl "Crazy Bear" felt that he was being teased as a toy, and he was furious!
"Russian? Swedes?! Rurik? Either you die today! Or I die!"
Furious in his heart, he reappeared carrying the battle axe. Although he lost his bearskin outfit, the tangled Weisingoth people could clearly see the iconic long-handled double-edged battle axe.
Karl raised his battle axe to greet the restless army, and the army was settled.
Those leather armored warriors who were struggling to maintain order welcomed the return of the boss. They were vaguely excited and eager to try.
The Weissingers Island side has given up their illusions. They have seen the boss's appearance, that is, they understand that the negotiation has completely broken down, and all problems can only be solved by today's decisive battle.
In fact, Karl entered the Ross army. He knew that he had little chance of winning, but what was the meaning of his existence if he could not kill hundreds or even a thousand enemies after being humiliated.
When Carl returned, the officers saw their boss gnashing his teeth like a mad bear that was about to swallow a lamb.
Someone came over and tried to inquire about the situation: "Boss, those guys...what do you say."
"There's nothing more to say! As I guessed, they are indeed Swedes, and Russ. You..." Carl's eyes seemed to be spitting fire, looking at the brothers fiercely: "Give up any illusions, they The leader told me to kill you all, and there will be no living creatures on the entire island. What do you think."
Although he had already anticipated this situation, he did not expect his opponent to be very straightforward about killing him. The warriors of Wiesingoth were first surprised and then angry.
"Then fight them! My sword is eager to drink blood!"
"If I die in battle, I must kill ten enemies before I die."
"Boss, please tell me their leader, I have to cut off that man's head for this life."
For a while, the crowd was excited, and the rage detonated the fighting spirit. This ignited anger was exactly what Carl wanted.
Karl hurriedly ordered his subordinates: "Go and tell those fishermen that the Swedes will kill all living creatures. If you want to live, kill them all! Listen to my orders, and let's rush over together."
The soldiers listened to the order, and Carl was humiliated to find out the enemy's real purpose. This horrific information quickly spread throughout the army.
Numerous armed fishermen gathered together in black, brown fur or cloth caps covering their blond hair. They had just heard rumors that the so-called warlord tyrant Karl had been killed. It turned out that these were all rumors.
Many people have already thought of taking the opportunity to escape, even if they are swimming, they have to escape this cursed island, and now everyone can't escape.
Is running away useful? Those Swedish attackers were going to sweep the entire island of Visingosser and kill everyone like they slaughtered the three villages on the northern shore of the lake.
Even men and women fishermen who were reluctant to fight before and were forced into the battlefield by sticks can only follow the tribesmen and wait for the command of the general charge.
Speaking of the warlord tyrant Karl, this is the first time he has commanded a huge army of nearly 5,000 men and women mixed together. He is nothing like the Rus army, relying on flags, horns and drums, and even the communication system constructed by lightly dressed messengers. He has no ability to coordinate such a huge armed crowd. If he wants to gather a crowd to fight, he has one and only one tactics. —— Regardless of the primary and secondary frontal impact, they will enter the fight.
Shield wall? forget it! If your elite warriors can still form a shield wall of hundreds of people to fight against the enemy, as for those fishermen...
After all, these fishermen are not their own people at all, they are more like sheep.
The so-called this is my island, and you happen to live here, just like sheep living in my pasture, if you don't contribute wool, you will get out.
Now is the time when life and death are at stake, and Karl is not surprised to come up with a bad move.
On the other hand, after Rurik released Karl, the Ross Army was also making final preparations.
The Finnish longbowmen hold their bows and stand on stilts. Each soldier's armor-piercing arrow is placed on the bow handle, and five arrows are inserted in front of him.
Some of the young soldiers of the Sixth Banner were lying directly on the wet grass, holding steel-arm crossbows wound by winches, lying in a prone position, waiting for an opportunity to strike a critical strike at close range.
The torsion slingshots were all adjusted to their shooting angles, and the bull catapults were also charged and filled with stones.
The final preparations still take some time, although this will also give the enemy time to prepare, Rurik doesn't care anymore.
King Rurik was still standing in front of the line. He was in the middle of the army, with crossbowmen and heavy weapons in front, and the army of the Swedish Confederation behind him. There was a vote of Swedish nobles beside him. The nobles were stunned by the number of enemies, and they were more awake to observe the formation of the Rus army from a close distance.
The smart nobles all wanted to figure out why the Rus army was able to fight well, but Rurik wouldn't tell them personally, so they had to take this opportunity to observe carefully, and their arrangement of the archers lit up.
However, the military formation of the islanders of Visingo is undergoing significant changes.
"Their armored warriors are retreating, and in front of them are some ragged... spearmen?" Bjorn pointed to Rurik and asked.
"I understand."
"Understand what?!"
"Hey! What a coward. That Karl is a coward." Rurik shook his head, expressing Bjorn and the other nobles: "The enemy let a group of fishermen attack us, and their elites were arranged behind. In my opinion, this is cowardly behavior."
As soon as the words fell, the nobles burst into laughter, especially Bjorn, who deliberately ridiculed Longstall, Duke of Yermallen: "This is the Jotalan invader that worries you? They are right in front, it's almost A bunch of beggars."
Longstall's face flushed with anger: "Are you mocking me for not being able to beat beggars? Ridiculous! Those guys will fall to their heads in a while."
Rurik shook his head and scolded: "Don't be arguing. Maybe the enemy is not a coward, but a conspiracy! That Karl may have been an elite organization that has been preparing for a conspiracy, so be careful with me."
But the nobles still think that they think too much about their past, even if Rurik thinks that Karl is indeed a simple coward.
It is undeniable that the fishermen of Gotaland on the island of Visingose will attack first, and let a group of unarmored weak people charge, wouldn't it be a war of attrition? they can afford
Now Rurik is deliberately standing still, waiting for the enemy to act first.
There was no movement on the side of the Ross Army, only the strong fans covered the chatter of the soldiers. Drummers and trumpeters are always on standby, and the infantry soldiers need to attack according to the sound of drums and horns.
The bowmen in front of the formation were all paying attention to the soldiers with the small flags in front of the formation, waiting for the firing order to be issued.
Finally, Rurik has waited!
From the south of the island came the dull sound of trumpets, and Carl and his men began to drive the fishermen to attack.
The constant pushing and shoving finally forced the fishermen on the front line to move forward. When they started to shout, the people who followed were all roaring loudly.
Rurik was waiting for this opportunity.
The king suddenly drew out his sword, and the blade pointed straight to the south. Seeing this, the soldiers holding small flags in front of the formation dropped their flags one after another, and the long-range attack of the Ross Army started immediately!
In an instant, the long-charged torsion slingshot and trebuchet fired javelins and stone bullets heavily.
The Finnish flag team temporarily recruited some people. There are currently as many as 700 archers, most of them holding longbows.
Arrows, javelins and stone bullets fell like raindrops, they were more than clearly visible in the sun, and the sound of piercing the air was beyond abundance! Although the wind resistance of the south wind shortened the arrow's range, it was this wind resistance that brought unexpected results.
The arrow was blown by the wind and fell almost at a right angle. The needle-shaped armor-piercing arrow ignored the leather and shield, and smashed directly into the body of the fishermen in Visingose.
It is not a broad-blade barbed hunting arrow. The arrow cluster is a sharpened and quenched cone. It cuts a hole in the human body. Although the arrow is easy to pull out, this hole-shaped wound is another kind of bad existence.
The arrows even pierced through the leather hats and skulls of some people, who were killed on the spot.
The javelin fell from the sky, easily smashed through the human body, and nailed the person to the grass.
The pebbles and the "pottery clay balls" were fired, and the bones were broken and he vomited blood and died violently.
This was the first round of shooting, even though it caused more than 300 casualties to the fishermen of Weisingose, and this was just the beginning.
Yevlo didn't panic at all. After the first round of ejection, the enemy's offensive momentum had been delayed due to horrific casualties.
"Free archery! Shoot as flat as possible! Choose your target!" He ordered.
The distance between the two armies was about 200 meters, and the enemy was all within the shooting range of the longbow. The soldiers of the Finnish flag team lowered their shooting angles and began to focus on the enemies of the vanguard.
The fishermen of Weissingeser, who were photographed in front, had their shields in front of them and continued to move forward. In fact, they all wanted to hide behind, but the clansmen in the back kept pushing and shoving. The width of the island battlefield was extremely narrow, so they had nowhere to go. To escape, you can only insist on advancing with the dense arrows of the enemy.
The fisherman's temporary wooden shield could not withstand the attack of the armor-piercing arrows, and the arrows pierced through his arms and people cried out in pain. And when they lost this only defense, they could only face the longbow of the Rus army with their flesh and blood.
The fishermen's armed soldiers fell one after another, and the scene was really one after another. Rurik, who was standing on the other side in shock, also opened his eyes wide and his body trembled uncomfortably.
They kept advancing but did not dare to run fast, because anyone who walked fast would be attacked.
"It's like Plants vs. Zombies! It's like a tower defense game." Rurik said to himself, and the other nobles were too busy watching to listen to the king's babble.
The battle situation is so strange, the Gotaland people of Visingose Island seem to be extremely heroic, but they are going forward and backward without regard for their own safety?
Longstall, Duke of Yermalen, rebuked Bjorn's violent remarks without hesitation: "Duke Melalen, do you still think they are a group of weak people? They are as brave as a group of wild boars."
Björn was also speechless now. He didn't answer Longstall and sighed to himself.
Whether those guys were wild boars or mad bears, they were all slaughtered by Ross's shooters on a short offensive road.
What Bjorn saw was the performance of the Rurik army, how easy it is for the army to shoot arrows to kill people! The two armies have not yet had short-handed contact, and one side has left a large scarlet body.
……
The mad bear Karl took his elite men to hide behind the fishermen. They noticed that they were being slaughtered by arrows. The battle was like this. It was the first time in his life that Karl had seen him.
He was deeply shocked, thinking back to what the Swedish king Rurik said just now, "I can kill you all easily", isn't that arrogant bullshit?
He knew that he had no other choice, and what was very bad was that some fishermen had already retreated spontaneously because of the predicament of needless killing. How could this make sense? !
Karl was furious: "No retreat! Those who retreat die!"
His personal cry was drowned out by the roars of the fugitives, and he had no choice but to order his capable men to supervise the battle.
A special shield wall appeared on the side of Visingose Island. Instead of fighting the enemy, the soldiers blocked their own retreat, and their swords stabbed the armed fishermen mercilessly. Retreat turned out to be death? The retreating fishermen were shocked.
The poor armed fishermen were caught in the middle, arrows, javelins, and stones kept falling from the sky.
Many arrows hit, they are still too early to die painfully. They curled up and rolled on the ground, covering their wounds, but they were trampled by their advancing compatriots. The arrows did not kill them immediately, but were trampled to death by their compatriots.
Finally, after paying heavy casualties, the armed fishermen finally approached the invading Swedes.
However, the boys of the Sixth Banner struck again.
The half-pound stubby crossbow arrow flew, and the powerful potential energy directly knocked over the targeted person at close range.
The fighters in the Finnish flag team with wooden arms and crossbows also joined the flat shooting array. They did not have an advantage in projectile attacks, but they could accurately penetrate the enemy's neck at present.
This was the last attack of the long-range troops. After that, the horns and drums were loudly blaring, and the infantrymen of the Rus army knew very well. Finally, it was time for the frontal fight that everyone loved.
Even if the opportunity for the brothers to fight **** battles is obviously not many.
What does it mean to be well-trained? ! Right in front of you.
The shooters retreated into the infantry array one after another, and the torsion slingshot on the cart was directly pulled away.
An extremely large shield wall replaced the archers, facing the final onslaught of the islanders of Wisingerser, who had become a dead end.
A true Viking battle broke out! It was only at the moment of engagement that the painful disasters belonging to the islanders also occurred.
The Rus army consisted of all the Swedish Allies, the most numerous of which were the Mélaren Army of the Sun King Bjorn, followed by the Yermalen Army of Langstor and the Ankras Army of the Blue Fox. The armies of the rest of the minor nobles are all made up, and together they form a huge number.
These allied fighters are of course weak to the Rurik directly-administered troops, and they are a real strong army to the greatly weakened and exhausted fishermen's armed forces on the island of Visingose.
At least the Swedish aristocracy sent the most elite warriors, especially those with chain mail and heavy shields at the forefront.
The Swedish Allies of the Central Army launched a massacre, stabbed the enemy with iron swords, and the brothers behind them stabbed with spears, or rammed from top to bottom with super-long battle axes. This kind of battle does not require any sword skills and spear skills, as long as everyone stabs and rams at high frequency in the front, it is like a harvester cutting through the wheat field slowly.
At the same time, Rurik's shooter unit was thrown at the output.
The Finnish longbowmen who retreated to the rear immediately changed to heavy arrows, and they were ordered to shoot into the air from a wide angle to support the brothers who were fighting in the Chinese army.
Naturally, the two wings of the Ross Army were not idle either.
Ross's civic soldiers were all heavy infantry. They were ordered to start encircling the two flanks. Five hundred heavy infantrymen on the left and right began to storm the two flanks of the fishermen's armed forces.
They saw that a large number of female warriors appeared in these fishermen's armed forces! This is extremely abnormal in previous operations, but it is not unusual. When the Russ were short of soldiers, they brought hundreds of young girls into the battle, although they all came to help with bows.
The female fighters among the fishermen went into the battlefield to fight, and they must have full consciousness. For these female fighters, the Rus army will never show mercy to these female fighters.
A situation of siege is taking shape. The offensive momentum of the fishermen's armed forces has completely collapsed.
Crazy Bear Karl has realized that he is powerless, even if he kills more retreating soldiers, he is unable to organize the collapse. He noticed his opponent's ruthless intentions, like casting a net to catch herring, and he was so ruthless that he annihilated the fishermen's armed forces.
Go on, your own failure is only a matter of time. Rather than...
Carl raised his arms to his cronies: "Brothers! We can't sit still! Now follow me to their flank, and we'll take the opportunity to rush in and kill their leader!"
Having said that, Carl started the operation, and his subordinates joined the sudden death attack.
So no one can stop the armed fishermen from fleeing, although I don't know what the future will be~www.novelhall.com~ The fishermen are now placing their hopes on the protection of the wooden wall of the fortress.
A large number of armed men appeared on the right flank of the Rus army. They were all armored and their appearance was extremely obvious.
It is the third flag team that is fighting here. They are all composed of Melalen people who immigrated to Ross in the early days. The flag captain Heliger was surprised when he saw this. He didn't expect the enemy to have a reserve team!
Heliger immediately adjusted the army formation, and after all, he collided with the army of the mad bear Karl's decisive charge.
This was a collision between shields and shields. Thanks to the overall crampedness of the battlefield, Heliger had fewer soldiers than Karl, so he forcibly withstood Karl's southward movement, and he also paid for it.
The sword was stabbing, and some soldiers of the third flag team had their arms cut, and even pierced their necks, and blood spurted out.
"Hold up! Hold up! Assassinate them!" Heriger shouted, and immediately sent a messenger to run in front of Rurik.
The messenger, the king, immediately reported without regard for etiquette: "Your Majesty, my fourth banner team has been attacked! The enemy has a thousand people in armor."
The battlefield suddenly changed dramatically, although Rurik could see it, he couldn't help being surprised when he heard the report that "there are a thousand enemies".
"Damn! They really have a reserve team! Fortunately, I have precautions."
It's time to get into Rose's reserves.
Rurik immediately summoned Grund and Herigel: "Bring the berserkers! Bring the fourth flag team! Help the third flag team to push the enemy back! Grund! Especially with the berserkers, wearing heavy armor Kill me!"
The two generals were overjoyed when they heard Ling's ecstasy, and they immediately summoned their hoplites, and Rurik was bound to watch them go into the lore...
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Carl "Crazy Bear" felt that he was being teased as a toy, and he was furious!
"Russian? Swedes?! Rurik? Either you die today! Or I die!"
Furious in his heart, he reappeared carrying the battle axe. Although he lost his bearskin outfit, the tangled Weisingoth people could clearly see the iconic long-handled double-edged battle axe.
Karl raised his battle axe to greet the restless army, and the army was settled.
Those leather armored warriors who were struggling to maintain order welcomed the return of the boss. They were vaguely excited and eager to try.
The Weissingers Island side has given up their illusions. They have seen the boss's appearance, that is, they understand that the negotiation has completely broken down, and all problems can only be solved by today's decisive battle.
In fact, Karl entered the Ross army. He knew that he had little chance of winning, but what was the meaning of his existence if he could not kill hundreds or even a thousand enemies after being humiliated.

An extremely large shield wall replaced the archers, facing the final onslaught of the islanders of Wisingerser, who had become a dead end.
A true Viking battle broke out! It was only at the moment of engagement that the painful disasters belonging to the islanders also occurred.
The Rus army consisted of all the Swedish Allies, the most numerous of which were the Mélaren Army of the Sun King Bjorn, followed by the Yermalen Army of Langstor and the Ankras Army of the Blue Fox. The armies of the rest of the minor nobles are all made up, and together they form a huge number.
These allied fighters are of course weak to the Rurik directly-administered troops, and they are a real strong army to the greatly weakened and exhausted fishermen's armed forces on the island of Visingose.
At least the Swedish aristocracy sent the most elite warriors, especially those with chain mail and heavy shields at the forefront.
The Swedish Allies of the Central Army launched a massacre, stabbed the enemy with iron swords, and the brothers behind them stabbed with spears, or rammed from top to bottom with super-long battle axes. This kind of battle does not require any sword skills and spear skills, as long as everyone stabs and rams at high frequency in the front, it is like a harvester cutting through the wheat field slowly.
At the same time, Rurik's shooter unit was thrown at the output.
The Finnish longbowmen who retreated to the rear immediately changed to heavy arrows, and they were ordered to shoot into the air from a wide angle to support the brothers who were fighting in the Chinese army.
Naturally, the two wings of the Ross Army were not idle either.
Ross's civic soldiers were all heavy infantry. They were ordered to start encircling the two flanks. Five hundred heavy infantrymen on the left and right began to storm the two flanks of the fishermen's armed forces.
They saw that a large number of female warriors appeared in these fishermen's armed forces! This is extremely abnormal in previous operations, but it is not unusual. When the Russ were short of soldiers, they brought hundreds of young girls into the battle, although they all came to help with bows.

A situation of siege is taking shape. The offensive momentum of the fishermen's armed forces has completely collapsed.
Crazy Bear Karl has realized that he is powerless, even if he kills more retreating soldiers, he is unable to organize the collapse. He noticed his opponent's ruthless intentions, like casting a net to catch herring, and he was so ruthless that he annihilated the fishermen's armed forces.
Go on, your own failure is only a matter of time. Rather than...
Carl raised his arms to his cronies: "Brothers! We can't sit still! Now follow me to their flank, and we'll take the opportunity to rush in and kill their leader!"
Having said that, Carl started the operation, and his subordinates joined the sudden death attack.
So no one can stop the armed fishermen from fleeing, although I don't know what the future will be~www.novelhall.com~ The fishermen are now placing their hopes on the protection of the wooden wall of the fortress.
A large number of armed men appeared on the right flank of the Rus army. They were all armored and their appearance was extremely obvious.
It is the third flag team that is fighting here. They are all composed of Melalen people who immigrated to Ross in the early days. The flag captain Heliger was surprised when he saw this. He didn't expect the enemy to have a reserve team!
Heliger immediately adjusted the army formation, and after all, he collided with the army of the mad bear Karl's decisive charge.
This was a collision between shields and shields. Thanks to the overall crampedness of the battlefield, Heliger had fewer soldiers than Karl, so he forcibly withstood Karl's southward movement, and he also paid for it.
The sword was stabbing, and some soldiers of the third flag team had their arms cut, and even pierced their necks, and blood spurted out.
"Hold up! Hold up! Assassinate them!" Heriger shouted, and immediately sent a messenger to run in front of Rurik.
The messenger, the king, immediately reported without regard for etiquette: "Your Majesty, my fourth banner team has been attacked! The enemy has a thousand people in armor."
The battlefield suddenly changed dramatically, although Rurik could see it, he couldn't help being surprised when he heard the report that "there are a thousand enemies".
"Damn! They really have a reserve team! Fortunately, I have precautions."
It's time to get into Rose's reserves.
Rurik immediately summoned Grund and Herigel: "Bring the berserkers! Bring the fourth flag team! Help the third flag team to push the enemy back! Grund! Especially with the berserkers, wearing heavy armor Kill me!"
The two generals were overjoyed when they heard Ling's ecstasy, and they immediately summoned their hoplites, and Rurik was bound to watch them go into the lore...
Carl "Crazy Bear" felt that he was being teased as a toy, and he was furious!"Russian? Swedes?! Rurik? Either you die today! Or I die!"Furious in his heart, he reappeared carrying the battle axe. Although he lost his bearskin outfit, the tangled Weisingoth people could clearly see the iconic long-handled double-edged battle axe.Karl raised his battle axe to greet the restless army, and the army was settled.Those leather armored warriors who were struggling to maintain order welcomed the return of the boss. They were vaguely excited and eager to try.The Weissingers Island side has given up their illusions. They have seen the boss's appearance, that is, they understand that the negotiation has completely broken down, and all problems can only be solved by today's decisive battle.In fact, Karl entered the Ross army. He knew that he had little chance of winning, but what was the meaning of his existence if he could not kill hundreds or even a thousand enemies after being humiliated.When Carl returned, the officers saw their boss gnashing his teeth like a mad bear that was about to swallow a lamb.Someone came over and tried to inquire about the situation: "Boss, those guys...what do you say.""There's nothing more to say! As I guessed, they are indeed Swedes, and Russ. You..." Carl's eyes seemed to be spitting fire, looking at the brothers fiercely: "Give up any illusions, they The leader told me to kill you all, and there will be no living creatures on the entire island. What do you think."Although he had already anticipated this situation, he did not expect his opponent to be very straightforward about killing him. The warriors of Wiesingoth were first surprised and then angry."Then fight them! My sword is eager to drink blood!""If I die in battle, I must kill ten enemies before I die.""Boss, please tell me their leader, I have to cut off that man's head for this life."For a while, the crowd was excited, and the rage detonated the fighting spirit. This ignited anger was exactly what Carl wanted.Karl hurriedly ordered his subordinates: "Go and tell those fishermen that the Swedes will kill all living creatures. If you want to live, kill them all! Listen to my orders, and let's rush over together."The soldiers listened to the order, and Carl was humiliated to find out the enemy's real purpose. This horrific information quickly spread throughout the army.Numerous armed fishermen gathered together in black, brown fur or cloth caps covering their blond hair. They had just heard rumors that the so-called warlord tyrant Karl had been killed. It turned out that these were all rumors.Many people have already thought of taking the opportunity to escape, even if they are swimming, they have to escape this cursed island, and now everyone can't escape.Is running away useful? Those Swedish attackers were going to sweep the entire island of Visingosser and kill everyone like they slaughtered the three villages on the northern shore of the lake.Even men and women fishermen who were reluctant to fight before and were forced into the battlefield by sticks can only follow the tribesmen and wait for the command of the general charge.Speaking of the warlord tyrant Karl, this is the first time he has commanded a huge army of nearly 5,000 men and women mixed together. He is nothing like the Rus army, relying on flags, horns and drums, and even the communication system constructed by lightly dressed messengers. He has no ability to coordinate such a huge armed crowd. If he wants to gather a crowd to fight, he has one and only one tactics. Regardless of the primary and secondary frontal impact, they will enter the fight.Shield wall? forget it! If your elite warriors can still form a shield wall of hundreds of people to fight against the enemy, as for those fishermen...After all, these fishermen are not their own people at all, they are more like sheep.The so-called this is my island, and you happen to live here, just like sheep living in my pasture, if you don't contribute wool, you will get out.Now is the time when life and death are at stake, and Karl is not surprised to come up with a bad move.On the other hand, after Rurik released Karl, the Ross Army was also making final preparations.The Finnish longbowmen hold their bows and stand on stilts. Each soldier's armor-piercing arrow is placed on the bow handle, and five arrows are inserted in front of him.Some of the young soldiers of the Sixth Banner were lying directly on the wet grass, holding steel-arm crossbows wound by winches, lying in a prone position, waiting for an opportunity to strike a critical strike at close range.The torsion slingshots were all adjusted to their shooting angles, and the bull catapults were also charged and filled with stones.The final preparations still take some time, although this will also give the enemy time to prepare, Rurik doesn't care anymore.King Rurik was still standing in front of the line. He was in the middle of the army, with crossbowmen and heavy weapons in front, and the army of the Swedish Confederation behind him. There was a vote of Swedish nobles beside him. The nobles were stunned by the number of enemies, and they were more awake to observe the formation of the Rus army from a close distance.The smart nobles all wanted to figure out why the Rus army was able to fight well, but Rurik wouldn't tell them personally, so they had to take this opportunity to observe carefully, and their arrangement of the archers lit up.However, the military formation of the islanders of Visingo is undergoing significant changes."Their armored warriors are retreating, and in front of them are some ragged... spearmen?" Bjorn pointed to Rurik and asked. "I understand.""Understand what?!""Hey! What a coward. That Karl is a coward." Rurik shook his head, expressing Bjorn and the other nobles: "The enemy let a group of fishermen attack us, and their elites were arranged behind. In my opinion, this is cowardly behavior."As soon as the words fell, the nobles burst into laughter, especially Bjorn, who deliberately ridiculed Longstall, Duke of Yermallen: "This is the Jotalan invader that worries you? They are right in front, it's almost A bunch of beggars."Longstall's face flushed with anger: "Are you mocking me for not being able to beat beggars? Ridiculous! Those guys will fall to their heads in a while."Rurik shook his head and scolded: "Don't be arguing. Maybe the enemy is not a coward, but a conspiracy! That Karl may have been an elite organization that has been preparing for a conspiracy, so be careful with me."But the nobles still think that they think too much about their past, even if Rurik thinks that Karl is indeed a simple coward.It is undeniable that the fishermen of Gotaland on the island of Visingose will attack first, and let a group of unarmored weak people charge, wouldn't it be a war of attrition? they can affordNow Rurik is deliberately standing still, waiting for the enemy to act first.There was no movement on the side of the Ross Army, only the strong fans covered the chatter of the soldiers. Drummers and trumpeters are always on standby, and the infantry soldiers need to attack according to the sound of drums and horns.The bowmen in front of the formation were all paying attention to the soldiers with the small flags in front of the formation, waiting for the firing order to be issued.Finally, Rurik has waited!From the south of the island came the dull sound of trumpets, and Carl and his men began to drive the fishermen to attack.The constant pushing and shoving finally forced the fishermen on the front line to move forward. When they started to shout, the people who followed were all roaring loudly.Rurik was waiting for this opportunity.The king suddenly drew out his sword, and the blade pointed straight to the south. Seeing this, the soldiers holding small flags in front of the formation dropped their flags one after another, and the long-range attack of the Ross Army started immediately!In an instant, the long-charged torsion slingshot and trebuchet fired javelins and stone bullets heavily.The Finnish flag team temporarily recruited some people. There are currently as many as 700 archers, most of them holding longbows.Arrows, javelins and stone bullets fell like raindrops, they were more than clearly visible in the sun, and the sound of piercing the air was beyond abundance! Although the wind resistance of the south wind shortened the arrow's range, it was this wind resistance that brought unexpected results.The arrow was blown by the wind and fell almost at a right angle. The needle-shaped armor-piercing arrow ignored the leather and shield, and smashed directly into the body of the fishermen in Visingose.It is not a broad-blade barbed hunting arrow. The arrow cluster is a sharpened and quenched cone. It cuts a hole in the human body. Although the arrow is easy to pull out, this hole-shaped wound is another kind of bad existence.The arrows even pierced through the leather hats and skulls of some people, who were killed on the spot.The javelin fell from the sky, easily smashed through the human body, and nailed the person to the grass.The pebbles and the "pottery clay balls" were fired, and the bones were broken and he vomited blood and died violently.This was the first round of shooting, even though it caused more than 300 casualties to the fishermen of Weisingose, and this was just the beginning.Yevlo didn't panic at all. After the first round of ejection, the enemy's offensive momentum had been delayed due to horrific casualties."Free archery! Shoot as flat as possible! Choose your target!" He ordered.The distance between the two armies was about 200 meters, and the enemy was all within the shooting range of the longbow. The soldiers of the Finnish flag team lowered their shooting angles and began to focus on the enemies of the vanguard.The fishermen of Weissingeser, who were photographed in front, had their shields in front of them and continued to move forward. In fact, they all wanted to hide behind, but the clansmen in the back kept pushing and shoving. The width of the island battlefield was extremely narrow, so they had nowhere to go. To escape, you can only insist on advancing with the dense arrows of the enemy.The fisherman's temporary wooden shield could not withstand the attack of the armor-piercing arrows, and the arrows pierced through his arms and people cried out in pain. And when they lost this only defense, they could only face the longbow of the Rus army with their flesh and blood.The fishermen's armed soldiers fell one after another, and the scene was really one after another. Rurik, who was standing on the other side in shock, also opened his eyes wide and his body trembled uncomfortably.They kept advancing but did not dare to run fast, because anyone who walked fast would be attacked."It's like Plants vs. Zombies! It's like a tower defense game." Rurik said to himself, and the other nobles were too busy watching to listen to the king's babble.The battle situation is so strange, the Gotaland people of Visingose Island seem to be extremely heroic, but they are going forward and backward without regard for their own safety?Longstall, Duke of Yermalen, rebuked Bjorn's violent remarks without hesitation: "Duke Melalen, do you still think they are a group of weak people? They are as brave as a group of wild boars."Bjrn was also speechless now. He didn't answer Longstall and sighed to himself.Whether those guys were wild boars or mad bears, they were all slaughtered by Ross's shooters on a short offensive road.What Bjorn saw was the performance of the Rurik army, how easy it is for the army to shoot arrows to kill people! The two armies have not yet had short-handed contact, and one side has left a large scarlet body.The mad bear Karl took his elite men to hide behind the fishermen. They noticed that they were being slaughtered by arrows. The battle was like this. It was the first time in his life that Karl had seen him.He was deeply shocked, thinking back to what the Swedish king Rurik said just now, "I can kill you all easily", isn't that arrogant bullshit?He knew that he had no other choice, and what was very bad was that some fishermen had already retreated spontaneously because of the predicament of needless killing. How could this make sense? !Karl was furious: "No retreat! Those who retreat die!"His personal cry was drowned out by the roars of the fugitives, and he had no choice but to order his capable men to supervise the battle.A special shield wall appeared on the side of Visingose Island. Instead of fighting the enemy, the soldiers blocked their own retreat, and their swords stabbed the armed fishermen mercilessly. Retreat turned out to be death? The retreating fishermen were shocked.The poor armed fishermen were caught in the middle, arrows, javelins, and stones kept falling from the sky.Many arrows hit, they are still too early to die painfully. They curled up and rolled on the ground, covering their wounds, but they were trampled by their advancing compatriots. The arrows did not kill them immediately, but were trampled to death by their compatriots.Finally, after paying heavy casualties, the armed fishermen finally approached the invading Swedes.However, the boys of the Sixth Banner struck again.The half-pound stubby crossbow arrow flew, and the powerful potential energy directly knocked over the targeted person at close range.The fighters in the Finnish flag team with wooden arms and crossbows also joined the flat shooting array. They did not have an advantage in projectile attacks, but they could accurately penetrate the enemy's neck at present.This was the last attack of the long-range troops. After that, the horns and drums were loudly blaring, and the infantrymen of the Rus army knew very well. Finally, it was time for the frontal fight that everyone loved.Even if the opportunity for the brothers to fight **** battles is obviously not many.What does it mean to be well-trained? ! Right in front of you.The shooters retreated into the infantry array one after another, and the torsion slingshot on the cart was directly pulled away.An extremely large shield wall replaced the archers, facing the final onslaught of the islanders of Wisingerser, who had become a dead end.A true Viking battle broke out! It was only at the moment of engagement that the painful disasters belonging to the islanders also occurred.The Rus army consisted of all the Swedish Allies, the most numerous of which were the Mlaren Army of the Sun King Bjorn, followed by the Yermalen Army of Langstor and the Ankras Army of the Blue Fox. The armies of the rest of the minor nobles are all made up, and together they form a huge number.These allied fighters are of course weak to the Rurik directly-administered troops, and they are a real strong army to the greatly weakened and exhausted fishermen's armed forces on the island of Visingose.At least the Swedish aristocracy sent the most elite warriors, especially those with chain mail and heavy shields at the forefront.The Swedish Allies of the Central Army launched a massacre, stabbed the enemy with iron swords, and the brothers behind them stabbed with spears, or rammed from top to bottom with super-long battle axes. This kind of battle does not require any sword skills and spear skills, as long as everyone stabs and rams at high frequency in the front, it is like a harvester cutting through the wheat field slowly.At the same time, Rurik's shooter unit was thrown at the output.The Finnish longbowmen who retreated to the rear immediately changed to heavy arrows, and they were ordered to shoot into the air from a wide angle to support the brothers who were fighting in the Chinese army.Naturally, the two wings of the Ross Army were not idle either.Ross's civic soldiers were all heavy infantry. They were ordered to start encircling the two flanks. Five hundred heavy infantrymen on the left and right began to storm the two flanks of the fishermen's armed forces.They saw that a large number of female warriors appeared in these fishermen's armed forces! This is extremely abnormal in previous operations, but it is not unusual. When the Russ were short of soldiers, they brought hundreds of young girls into the battle, although they all came to help with bows.The female fighters among the fishermen went into the battlefield to fight, and they must have full consciousness.
