The tough siege battle made the Russ full of grievances. When they were worried that they could not vent, the enemy's reinforcements actually arrived.

The remodeled horn of the horns blew a terrifying trumpet, and a large number of reinforcements were inspired by the trumpet.

Now, on the ice not far away, a large group of weird people gathered there.

Although it is a gloomy world, the shape of the chain armor and metal helmet on the Ross people is really special. And they use a large number of round shields, the reinforcements of the Kewen people take it for granted that the guys in the distance are the enemy.

The reinforcements got off the sledge one after another, and they stepped on special leather boots to make themselves advance more steadily on the ice.

Most of them are holding short spears, and the spearheads can be described as various materials.

A small group of people have iron and bronze spearheads, and most of them are obsidian, flint and bones.

They also carried a lot of bows and a number of arrows.

In addition, only a few personnel were equipped with iron swords purchased from the southern Finns or self-made.

There are so many people, and their weapons and equipment are so crude. It is their huge number that supports their strong self-confidence.

Because the tribes on the upper reaches of the river have organized such a large army for the first time in history.

Of course, the number of enemy troops is a challenge for the Ross and Otto.

Taking the responsibility of the leader, Otto, who stood in the front row of the battle, calmly warned his young men: "Brothers, we may have a thousand enemies. Don't be afraid, they are very weak."

"They will rush over like crazy! Remember our combat essentials, let them rush and assassinate their necks and stomachs! No mercy."

The young warriors listened carefully to the words of the big boss. They were mostly in their early twenties. Because they saw blood in the war last year, they were already arrogant. What an honor.

Otto recalled his life of more than 50 years, and saw it for the first time.

The Ross people are ready here, and their big round shields fit into each other and become a wall. But he lacks mobility! Otto himself did not make any innovations to the traditional battle formation of the tribe. The soldiers in the formation lacked further education in formation transformation, so the current formation of the Ruths lacked mobility.

It seemed that they had formed a fortress on the glacier, and Otto wished that the enemy would come to fight in person, so that the Ruths would just wait for work and give play to their advantages.

The situation is of course changing. Otto has not reformed the traditional formation, and Rurik has taught his young guys many new tricks.

The most important thing in the so-called new pattern is the complex formation change.

By shouting different words, or waving a few small flags, those children can make formations such as square formations, line formations, and hollow formations.

They are children after all. Otto saw that those children can make complex formation changes. First of all, he was gratified by his son's ability. Before meeting a real opponent, Otto couldn't understand those strange formations. superior.

Otto finished the order, the soldiers suffocated, shields covering half of the faces of the first row of soldiers, and their sharp eyes stared at the dark crowd on the ice in the distance.

Otto then ordered Jeflo and other mercenaries in front of the battle.

"Jeflo, you just launch once, and then get into our formation."

"Boss, we can launch at least twice." Yevlo suggested.

"No! You only have one chance. You are not archers. Remember, in the wilderness, only swords and axes can solve the problem."

Otto's words are actually for Rurik. He felt that his son was a bit too much to invite crossbows and bows, although these two long-range weapons did achieve a good performance in siege wars.

He kept making Rurik stay behind him, wanting to mix with those archers.

The Ross army formed an arc-shaped formation. Otto knew that the two wings of his formation were weak, so during combat, the two wings could shrink inward, and finally the formation became a solid ring.

Otto felt that the most difficult time for the team was the moment when the enemy was attacked. As long as the team was not overwhelmed, the rest would be counterattacks.

But now the situation has become very delicate.

In the glacial river under the haze, the cold wind keeps blowing the snow on the ice. The temperature is very low, and the air-conditioning cuts the bearded face of the soldier like a knife.

The Ross people are fully prepared here, and as the Kewen reinforcements see their opponents clearly, they clearly feel an inexplicable sense of fear.

The leaders of the team felt the danger. After discussing them, they did not rush to attack, but sent five people who had been to Narvik to explore the way first.

The Kewen reinforcements arrived for the first time, and the leader tried to negotiate with the enemy. If the negotiation fails, it will not be too late to start the war.

The huge number of people constituted their self-confidence, and the five envoys shouldered the mission arranged by their respective bosses.

In the final analysis, the boss's request is: put down your weapons and leave our land, or kill them all.

That was 800 warriors, and the strength of the tribes was gathered, but the Tavastia people were shocked. Even if the legendary Varangians are strong, everyone has never seen them before, and their own forces are obviously very large, and the scale of victory is obviously inclined to the Kwenmen.

In response to this state of mind, the five envoys leaned on short spears (walking rods) and swaggered towards the formation of the Ross people. Suddenly, all the Ross people became nervous.

Especially Jeflo, his order was to shoot all enemies close to the formation.

Yevlo hurriedly turned his head: "Big boss, they are here. Do you attack?!"

"Attack!" Otto said without hesitation.

Ross didn't want to have any form of negotiation with the other party. Otto felt that this was not only unnecessary and absurd. These scientific scholars have no right to negotiate conditions with the Ross people.

As for the war between the two armies, the Viking world does not have a tradition here.

The five men were already close to the effective range of the crossbow, and Jeflo picked up the crossbow personally and ordered the rest of the mercenaries to be ready.

"Aim at each target!"

"Remember, the quasi letter on the reed is aimed at the enemy's body!"

"emission!"

Those messengers were actually 80 meters away from the crossbow position, and Jevlo was nervous and ordered the launch in advance. Even so, these crossbows fully demonstrated its tactical advantages.

The powerful and large-stretched steel arm drove the half-pound heavy arrow to fly out, and the powerful recoil also made the archer retreat suddenly.

Deliberately tilting the bonded feathers, causing the flying crossbow arrows to spin desperately.

Even though the cold wind was blowing on the entire river surface, the rotating heavy crossbow bolts, with their strong wind resistance and strong potential energy, hit the swaying five people in just over a second after launching.

At this distance, the steel-armed crossbow developed by Rurik still has a powerful force. The five messengers didn't know what was happening, they saw themselves being filled with strange things, and then collapsed to the ground in great pain. , After a lot of extraction, he died.

In this scene, both sides of the war could see clearly.

Rurik, he had never thought that his weapon could still complete an accurate shot at such a long distance. The reality is so simple that after the enemy fell, he didn't get up and the enemy died.

Soon, Rurik was drowned in the cheers of the people, the warriors beat their shields with their swords, and everyone shouted.

The strength of the Ross people, in addition to boosting their fighting spirit, also angered those Corvin reinforcements.

The messenger who knew a lot of the local language of Narvik Port, and the messenger who had high hopes and contacted the strange Varangians, died in front of the Varangans somehow.

The Kewen reinforcements were stunned at first, and then all the bosses raised their iron swords and issued offensive orders with hideous faces!

Upon seeing this, the calm Otto shouted: "They are here! Jeflo, withdraw!"

"No! Big boss, we can continue!"

After all, Jeflo ordered his men: "Everyone is kneeling, holding a crossbow and listening to my orders!"

However, it was the Kewenmen's bows and arrows that took the lead.

At first, arrows fell to the ice not far in front of the Jeflo formation. Although it was safe, he was about to enter the enemy's range.

Facing the enemy rushing over, Yevlo nervously ordered: "Raise! Launch!"

Therefore, people who can use bows try to shoot arrows at a 45 angle, and the arrows have the largest range. For both sides at war, everyone knows this experience.

Twenty crossbow arrows smashed into the dense formation of Kewen reinforcements in a low and flat parabola. Their fall quickly caused serious injuries to as many as fifteen enemies. The wounded still didn't know what happened. The extreme pain forced them to stop charging and curl up to the ground. As a result, many of the wounded were trampled to death by their own people.

"Come back!" Otto shouted.

Yevlo wanted to make the string again with his bare hands. The soreness of his arm forced him to pause. The key was that the enemy's arrows had begun to fall into the Rus formation.

Jeflo withdrew his own person back to the formation, the next step was to hold the shield aloft, and while defending the master, Rurik, he was also self-defending.

The arrows of the Corvins began to crackle and hit Rose's buckler, and the archers of the servant troops began to suffer casualties.

The archers of the Lord of Salmon were ordered by Otto to counterattack. They shot arrows in the air at a large elevation angle, in order to use an exaggerated parabola, so that they could shoot and kill the enemies in front of the formation.

The archers on both sides count on the number of archers for probabilistic attacks, but the long reloading time of the crossbowmen who killed the most makes the Ross people not have the opportunity to shoot for a long time, even if the people who left Rick still have 1,000 on hand Crossbow arrows.

War is like Otto and his, only the sword and the axe can determine who is the winner.

Otto roared calmly: "They are here! Ready for the impact!"

The relatively short Corvin warriors, armed with short spears, rushed fearlessly towards the beautiful bucklers of the Ruths, as were the case with many Corvin warriors.

They jumped bravely, and many people rushed to the camp of the Ross people. As a result, these brave men were stabbed to death by the prepared Ross sword and shield hand.

The Corvin at the forefront smashed into the shield wall of the Rus, and ran afterwards, bumping into the companion in front of him.

The overall formation of the Roths moved backward. They still resisted the strong attack of the Corvins. The next thing did not require Otto to roar and command.

The roar is meaningless, because all the belligerents are roaring.

Rurik, who was in the formation, felt that he could not help much at all, as did the servants of the Salmon Lord.

Realizing that the enemy was deliberately attacking the two wings, the Roths began to shrink their formation spontaneously. When the formation completely turned into a circle, a large number of corpses were already lying under the Roths' feet.

The shield was stained with blood, the chain mail was stained with blood, and the beards of the first row of warriors turned horrible red.

The steel swords of the Ross people are full of lethality. Every sword suddenly attacked from the gap of the shield. The extremely sharp sword can easily pierce the enemy's leather jacket, and a near stab can solve an enemy. And the splattered blood has allowed the heavy infantry in the front line and in chain armor to be bathed in the dripping blood brought about by the brutal killing.

They are covered in the blood of the enemy, it is like some kind of maddening catalyst.

Sixty elites in chain mail had no casualties in their previous battles. Now they have a mouthful of blood, and their faces are covered with blood, just like monsters that eat people.

Otto was very happy that his people had entered a frenzied state.

A large number of Corvins surrounded the ring shield walls of the Rus. According to the Corvin's idea, only to continue the onslaught, the strange Varanga would definitely collapse.

As a result, those who rushed first had all died.

With too many people killed and injured, the follow-up Kewen finally realized what had happened.

They held their short spears, and they froze.

With this opportunity, Evlo urgently ordered: "Crossbowman! Shoot!"

Rurik admired his Jeflo's on-the-spot reaction ability, and saw Jeflo leading the people holding the crossbow in both hands and shooting arrows from the gap in the shield.

The wind brought by the flying crossbow arrows was also felt by the Rus warriors. Because the arrow flew past their ears.

When the Kewen was stunned, twenty people were injured and fell suddenly.

From the eyes of the enemy, Otto could see their fear and incomprehension. It just so happened that a group of his own warriors had gone mad. The warriors needed to vent their anger through crazy killings, and at the same time prove themselves to the gods. Strong.

Because the eyes of the gods are not shielded by the haze.

It can be said that this battle was won from the moment when the Ruths abruptly withstood the enemy's collision.

Otto gave an order: "The gods have seen your bravery! The child blessed by Odin is by your side! Berserker! Destroy all the enemies!"

With this order ~www.mtlnovel.com~ The Ross Warriors, who were still shields and shields, suddenly disbanded their sturdy formation.

The Ross people began a full counterattack, even though their strength was still inferior, facing a large group of demoralized and poorly equipped Kovin reinforcements, what was left was an unprecedented brutal killing that the Kovin people encountered. , For the Ross people, it is just a carnival of conquest.

Who doesn't want to get the honor of "Berserker"? To be called a berserker by the high priest, every young warrior hopes that he can be worthy of this honor, even if everyone does not carry the strange mushroom sauce made by the high priest. Even if it didn't pass the rare and maddening potion, the red-eyed Ruths just wanted to destroy all the enemies in front of them.

The morale of the Kewen was still high just now, what about now?

More than one hundred people have been killed in the contact battle, and the casualties of the Ross people are only the arrow wounds of several servants, the Salmon Lord Archer.

The Ross people, who are superior in armor, weapons, and physique, started a crazy counterattack!

Everyone is willing to believe that the fateful battle of the "North Hunter" predicted by the high priest is actually this battle.
