The army lined up and walked out to the wooden fence of the Silver Fort. Under the sun, there were Russ warriors in blue robes on a white background. Their leather helmets were decorated with velvet caps, and some people’s helmets were specially installed with blue and white tops feathers, such a scene has never been seen by the defenders.

Just the fact that the team is neatly approaching, the strong sense of oppression is like pressing a stone in the chest.

From any point of view, today the Rus people are definitely not here to show off their power, and the defenders are sure that today is the moment of life and death for everyone.

In theory, Fisk could use a piece of charcoal on a piece of white cloth to write a sentence in traditional rune script, even if it was a simple threat like "wash your necks and wait for me to chop".

He has no plans to communicate with the people of Silver Castle, or in his opinion there is no need to talk to these guys at all.

The Rus army is now playing the banner of "revenge for the old Danish king Olegin", which is simply an excuse to mobilize everyone.

Ironically, the man who chopped off Olegin's head was the Dane Ragnar, who has now become an ally of Ross.

Fisk had heard those statements. After all, King Olekin insisted on continuing to fight south to rob the Silver Fort’s money. That man succeeded to a certain extent.

Opportunity falls on him, and now no one will stand up for the Danish merchants of Silver Fort, and the glory of looting silver from the city will belong to this side division.

The warriors with bows and crossbows walked in the front row, and their silence was just imposing.

Suddenly, the trumpeter raised the horn, and with the melodious sound of the trumpet, the whole army stood still.

The Ross army stopped, and the army stood at a very delicate distance.

At the same time, the Silver Fort defenders climbed the wooden wall one after another. Any man or even some women who could afford a weapon was determined to fight with the Ross Army for their own lives.

The defenders held high spears, swords and axes, and stood on the heights to show off their might. They cursed in Norse language, cursing the shamelessness of the Rus people, and encouraging themselves in a desperate situation.

"You'd better gather together and let me shoot you quickly."

Fisk turned his head and glanced sharply, and summoned someone: "Go! Tell Kanuf in front of him, and let his men shoot arrows happily!"

The messenger swiftly rushed to the front, and the order was handed over to Kanuf, a new elite with strong execution.

"What do you mean by happy archery? Oh! I see... you go back, it's our show now."

After all, for this expedition, the Rus Kingdom has been preparing for the fall of a year ago. One of the tactical advantages of the Rus army is the strong bow and crossbow, for which the army must maintain a huge reserve of arrows. Arrows are being produced on a large scale throughout the Winter Kingdom. Many years ago, the "Poultry Project" was mainly implemented to solve the problem of eating meat in every household. It is really a preparation for today's war.

The huge number of arrow feathers are chicken feathers, the arrow shaft and adhesive pine glue are inexhaustible, and the arrow clusters are cheap products cast iron in batches.

In this way, this partial division of Fisk can also carry a large number of arrows very luxuriously.

The dismounted cavalry carried buckskin quivers with thirty arrows stuffed in them.

The quiver is already very heavy, and the soldiers feel that their archery behavior is fire support, and the action of launching a maximum of ten arrows and then colliding with the city wall will come.

Now Commander Fisk ordered again, the brothers shot a bag of arrows.

A hundred dismounted cavalry in the front will fire three thousand arrows? This is still not a small challenge for the cavalry.

Kanuf knew what this meant, and as the commander drew his sword and shouted: "Brothers! It's time to show your strength! Shoot them all and let us break through the city easily!"

Therefore, the soldiers raised their recurve bows at a high angle of elevation, and the light arrows were placed on the left side of the bow shank.

"Get ready! Hsjutra!"

The standing army has a large number of old Ross tribes, and the young ones shoulder the glory of their ancestors. Now they are using the Ross Arrow Formation to project the first round of arrows with the huge Turkic compound bow.

There was a dense swish from the sky, and the guards who once danced on the city walls were astonishingly pale.

The wise man grabbed the thickened shield covered with leather or glued a layer of wood for the first time, and carried it on his back like a tortoise shell, and then curled up into a ball.

The defenders are not all fools, and they strengthen their personal defenses after suffering a big loss with arrows. Unfortunately, for most people in Silver Castle, they don't know how to take reasonable precautions.

Deadly arrows rained down, causing casualties in the first salvo. Nai He has a second, third, fourth time for such a volley...

Armed as hard as stone, the standing soldiers had multiple fingers made of deer shank bones and threw deadly arrows in an oriental fashion.

They projectile hit a target about 200 meters away, probably creating a fall range of nearly 40 meters deep in the city.

Although the south wind had weakened the range of the arrows, the front of the Ross Army's attack was still hit hard.

The soldiers were surrounded by horrific corpses, some of them swollen and disfigured. A large number of corpses were stacked under the city wall. These were all the corpses of the previous refugees. The existence of a large number of dead people could not interfere with the attack of the Ross Army.

Constantly projecting, some fighters reduced the frequency due to the gradual soreness of their arms. No matter how difficult it was to fire a salvo, everyone who turned into free fire instead produced a continuous and coherent firepower output.

From the standpoint of the defenders, this is not hail, but being hit by an arrow is a deep penetration into the flesh. Although the sword of the Rus is like a needle, it is difficult to create a wide-blade wound, but it is this needle that can pierce a deep blood hole and it is difficult to heal.

The "tortoise shells" of many defending soldiers were densely covered with arrow feathers. He was not a tortoise, but a living hedgehog.

The shooting was indiscriminate, and the continuous shooting caused as many as 200 casualties in the city to varying degrees, and also forced the non-combatants in the city to flee to the safe area near the cliff in the south of the city.

Finally, the Ross Army ended the blow of the three thousand arrows. The soldier with sore arms was panting, with a weird smile on his mouth, waiting for a new order.

Seeing that the crisis was finally lifted, the defenders of the city wall slowly stuck their heads out.

They don't know what else the Rus people will do, and there is a high probability of another arrow rain attack.

However, the general offensive began.

Fisk will no longer let the dismounted archers waste their energy, and now the rest of the soldiers are on full attack!

The archers with sore arms moved in the opposite direction. They went to the trolleys at the rear to get new arrows. Those who had the ability mixed in with the main attacking team and approached the city wall, suppressing and firing at the possible defenders.

More soldiers surrounded the battering ram that was reasonably carried by thirty people, and under the cover of many soldiers holding large shields against arrows, they quickly advanced under the city wall.

In such a scene, the mere 150 defending soldiers who were holding on to the city wall with extremely strong willpower are now beginning to break down.

The defenders threw sand-filled earthen jars and simple stones downward, and these heavy objects hit the "arrow shield" made of wooden planks and branches.

They were also condescending and sniping with short wooden bows, which is what Ross's crossbowmen were waiting for.

Soldiers who have not participated in large-scale projectile operations waited for the rabbit, the light wooden crossbow was slammed into the string, the firing frequency was not slow, and the accuracy was extremely amazing.

As the dismounted cavalry with their sore arms gritted their teeth and entered under the city wall with supplementary new arrows, the suppression of the shooting had reached an outrageous level.

Who dares to show up? !

Some who exposed the battlements were immediately attacked in a concentrated manner. The rare steel-armed crossbow shot at close range completely ignored the chainmail. The exposed guard soldiers fell to their death with terrifying short arrows inserted in their chests.

The defenders were forced to hide behind the battlements, holding heavy objects in both hands and throwing them behind them, hoping to kill an enemy.

This is really a hopeless defense, and the defenders have no way to stop the strong attack of the Rus army.

The only thing the defenders expect now is that the largest city gate can withstand the impact of the huge log, but the entire city wall feels crumbling.

Some trolleys that had been unloaded were stacked with heavy objects at the door, and more than 50 guard soldiers had to wait behind the door.

They are all mercenaries, and they have to be worthy of their share of money and what they believe in until now.

More mercenaries are really helpless. They have no confidence in the Rus people, and they are convinced that surrender is impossible. Now there is only one way to die.

The sun is above, those are the eyes of Odin, let the gods see the end of their heroic struggle!

It is said that the walls of the Silver Fort are indeed built solidly, but the gate is a huge disadvantage. The heavy wooden door was fastened with a latch, and there was no special reinforcement such as a winch dropping an iron fence.

The young and strong men of the standing army were desperately operating the battering ram. Seeing that they could not break the door after a collision, a group of soldiers immediately joined them.

More than fifty people rationally manipulated the battering ram, creating cracks in the gate little by little.

Finally, with a loud noise, not only the gate, but also the platform on the wooden gate collapsed at the same time!

The main entrance of the Silver Fort actually collapsed as a whole! The collapsed door formed a slope, and behind the **** was the stunned faces of the few defending soldiers.

The defenders were frightened, and some even sat on the ground in fright.

A huge opportunity is in front of him, how can Fisk, the commander, let it go?

"Get out of the way!" he yelled, "Let the cavalry charge!"

Fisk took the lead with his steel sword high, followed by the cavalry behind him.

The infantrymen gave way one after another for fear of being trampled to death by their own cavalry.

Who is the first person to enter the city? It was General "Bald" Fisk.

Hundreds of horses filed in through the **** formed by the collapsed gate, and the defending soldiers who had no time to step on their iron hooves immediately collapsed.

The steel sword stabbed and slashed, the prisoner of war rammed hard, or the short spear stabbed hard.

The defense line of Silver Fort collapsed, and the cavalry were killing the Quartet in the city full of arrows! After the cavalry, 300 Rus infantrymen rushed into the city, and 200 Växjö confederates who were destined to only be good at fighting against the wind entered the city at the end.

After the city is broken, the rules have been set, all the men who see it will be killed by the enemy, and only the youngest children and women should stay alive.

The cavalry kept colliding in the tortuous alleys in the city, and the defenders finally formed a shield wall, and they were immediately knocked all over the floor looking for teeth.

The defenders were also difficult to line up because of their inferior strength. They lost further manpower and were beaten by the Rus army. It seemed that the Rus could not be injured at all. In most cases, they were killed without contact with the enemy.

The Silver Fort was not large, and the last defenders were compressed to the southernmost tip of the city.

At the same time, the entire Silver Fort was crowded with nearly three thousand people!

When Fisk ordered the brothers not to search and loot one by one, and continued to attack with enthusiasm, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.

"Ah! What are they doing?!"

After the soldiers and civilians of Yinbao, who had been driven to a dead end, lost their resistance, they resolutely chose to take the risk in the face of the Rus army who had been killed in front of them.

This is the southern wall of the city, under which is a small cliff. The waves crashed against the cliff, and there were puddles under the cliff, so people climbed up the low wall mixed with stone and wood and jumped deep down.

However, this place is too high relative to the water surface, and the puddles under the cliff appear and disappear from time to time.

Men and women jumped in depth, and fell on the rocky platform underwater and died on the spot. Even if they fainted, they were swept into the sea by the huge waves and drowned.

Even so, there were still people who jumped down, and the city wall was crowded with people looking forward and backward. Seeing that the Russ army formed a shield wall and pressed hard at every step, more people jumped off the cliff.

"Ah this! Isn't this Tamworth back then?!"

Eight years ago, the Ross Expeditionary Force fought in Britain, and together with the friendly forces of Balmerk in Norway, they jointly broke through the royal city of Northumbria. After that, a large number of residents jumped off the city wall and forced their lives to escape. Fisk was a witness to that battle. At that time, he was only Rurik's entourage, but now he is leading the expedition with remote divisions.

But the wall in Tamworth is not high, and there is grass and even a dung heap under the wall. After jumping off the wall, many people patted their bodies and ran away.

And in this silver castle, those who jump off the cliff into the water are asking for their own death.

Fisk was a little touched. The only thing he regretted was that some obviously younger women also jumped, which was a pity.

"Keep pressing! Brothers, go ahead!" he ordered.

Only the immediate action of the army can stop this desperate cliff jumping behavior. The Russ army rushed up, and after most of the people on the city wall jumped off, the city wall was completely controlled by the Russ army.

At this point, a large number of people were surrounded by Fisk's troops in extreme fear. Many people were scared to pee and even fainted. Some businessmen in extraordinary clothes knelt on the ground and begged for money to sacrifice their lives.

Do businessmen still have a chance to negotiate? Since their money is all in the city, the city has been occupied by the Rus army, the Rus flag is flying on the city wall, and the merchants have lost all the bargaining chips to buy their lives.

However, Kanuf helped Fisk come up with an idea...

Really want to kill everyone except the youngest son of the woman? After calming down, Fisk listened to the advice of Kanuf and even Bejahir, and decided to open up to many people after screening the personnel.

The battle was completely over. According to statistics, those who died in battle and who jumped off the cliff were not counted. The Ross Army captured as many as 1,600 people.

More than 20 businessmen were not killed. They naively thought that they could really spend money to buy their lives, and were temporarily sitting together with their hands tied together.

The Russ army's looting of the whole city has begun. The wealth accumulated by the merchants has been turned out one after another, and a large number of wooden boxes full of silver coins have been pulled out. The silver coins are to be classified as kingdoms, and each soldier has plundered a lot of useful life. Taste.

The Ross army looted first, and then the Växjö allies came one after another. Like vultures, these guys ate the last bit of meat on the beast's ribs.

A strong man with a bald head came towards him, and the businessmen whose family members were detained began to stand up.

"Bald" Fisk is not born with a bald head. He was deliberately shaved by his mother to such a hairstyle that has now become a distinctive mark of the individual.

Hearing the misunderstanding of the captured businessman, Fisk, who rushed over, simply laughed out loud.

"Stop laughing! Bro." Fisk snapped.

"Fisk, what a big misunderstanding they have."

"Indeed." Fisk shrugged, and immediately announced his identity to the captured merchants: "You Danish merchants! I am Fisk, Bald Fisk. I am the war chief under Rurik the Great of Rus, who was ordered to conquer Wei Keshe, take the time to conquer your silver castle. You were once merchants, but unfortunately you have lost all your capital and all your usefulness. I tell you now, die!"

In an instant, the captured merchants were dumbfounded.

A group of sword-wielding warriors came over in an instant, ignoring the begging of the merchants whose hands were tied, dragged them to the edge of the cliff without any hesitation, and chopped off their heads...

It's a killing! It was Fisk's order.

The supply of the Rus army is now completely supplemented by the fishing of the Växjö confederates, a mixed army of 1,500 non-combatants.

During the attack on Silver Fort, more than 20 Rus soldiers suffered serious flesh wounds. Although they could theoretically save their lives by suturing the wounds with spirits, more than 20 people lost their ability to fight.

In a sense, the Rus Army did not lose any personnel, at least not immediately.

But the army is exhausted, and everyone needs a full meal, but the food seized in the city is disappointing.

The logistics under Fisk could not support the appetite of 3,000 people, including prisoners, and some prisoners had to die.

This is a barbaric slaughter after the war. The most typical Vikings of the Rus people have made a savage side with Viking characteristics.

Only the seemingly young woman, some children, pure slaves, craftsmen and the last farmer spared their lives, and there were more than 500 people left in the entire Silver Fort until the end of the battle.

The cliffs were full of corpses, and the waves dragged the corpses into the ocean one after another, and gradually indulged in the icy waters of the Baltic Sea.

Those who survive will not be idle. They are monitored and forced to clean up the bodies of the Växjö refugees who had been sent to the main battle before, which is to throw the stinky bodies into the ocean.

The flag of Rus fluttered on the city wall of Silver Castle, the army completely plundered the cattle, sheep and livestock of the local people, and the Växjö Allies sent ships to the sea to frantically plunder the extremely rich local Baltic cod and Atlantic herring.

Those young women were divided up by the Rus army, the merchant's daughter became the wives and concubines of the Rus soldiers, and the status of the female slaves raised by the merchants improved. For a small group of people, being controlled by the Rus army is not tragic. The people who were slaves immediately served the new masters, and they served the young Rus soldiers fascinated.

It is said that his status as a slave was immediately cancelled, and he would live as the wife and concubine of the man in front of him, so that their service would be even more diligent. As for the fact that the man's name was tattooed on the back to declare ownership, he was also happy to accept it~www.novelhall.com~ The Ross Army was completely settled, and the partial divisions who had been on the expedition until now were finally able to rest well, so his subordinates began to indulge in women's sex, and Fisk was too lazy to care.

After all, his Astrid was by his side, his fourth wife, and a young, intelligent and obedient woman. Because, Astrid's heart has been completely conquered by this young strong and decisive Rus man.

The Silver Fort Ross flag flutters, and the various ships floating on the sea are also flying the Ross flag. Any outsider who sees it will think that the current Silver Fort is like a city directly under the jurisdiction of the Rus Kingdom. And this also means the occupation of the entire Gotaland region by the Kingdom of Rus.

Fisk is waiting here, looking forward to his ship "Shaking Man" to attract Speuter, so that the friendly troops on Bornholm Island will first witness the illustrious name of his young general, and also Have a good meeting to plan how to find the main force of Rurik the Great and join forces with him to conspire.
