Is there any strategic value for the little Slitomo?

It does have a clear value-a natural small port facing the vast sea. The Ross people can use this port to develop it into a stronghold on Gotland Island, or a transit point for trade and army transportation.

After landing, Rurik was more or less aware of its strategic value while sending people to clean up the post-war endgame.

But now, this small fishing village is just an excellent landing place for the Rus people, and its level of excellence is beyond imagination.

Although the bay is not large, at least all the ships of the Russ are docked, so that the army will have a very stable foothold for the next stage of offensive.

So who is the next goal?

One goal couldn't be more obvious.

After a whole night of repairs, the recovered soldiers continued to unload the materials on board.

Ross warriors, the blood stains on the gowns yesterday have been washed away, and their clothes are neat again, and they even want to slash them with their swords.

Those Slavic and Corvin warriors, including the children under Rurik's command.

They witnessed the tragedy after the battle. The dead were not soldiers after all. They were all dead, and the beach was full of Yin Hong. This is war. No matter how "honor" or "revenge" is used to modify it, everyone is now a part of the battlefield, and they are all standing on Ross's standpoint, destined to start a life-and-death battle with the owner of this island.

Will the enemy be merciful? of course not.

They were responsible for removing the corpses, some people vomited on the spot, endured intense discomfort and finished the job.

Especially the little warriors of Rurik! Of course, they also had **** accidents when they were training in their hometown. But how many of them have killed the enemy? Like a boy like Fisk, he and the Gotlanders have a vengeance of killing his father, so naturally his actions are extremely harsh, but...

The young female warriors of the Valkyrie Corps[] are just girls. Although they have been forced out of a lot of animalism during their daily training, now seeing a large number of corpses, many of them stayed up all night.

This is the case for recruits. They just went to the battlefield to witness death and cruelty. They either **** their pants in fright, or were so excited about their lives and deaths. In short, their performance was abnormal.

These conditions only need to go through a few more battles, because they will regard themselves as a stone of no emotion, facing all the instincts of the enemy, it is to kill.

The vast majority of soldiers didn't care about the death of the enemy, and the commander of the team didn't care.

It was clear, the sun was shining, and the warm wind had blown away the blood, replaced by the smell of grilled fish.

A larger private house became a temporary command post for the Rus.

A woman who understands the situation of the island was pushed into the room.

Rurik was about to discuss matters with everyone, but saw the young woman hook her head, only to be pushed forward. She staggered and walked a few steps again, with endless pain between her eyebrows.

"Maybe this woman is only twenty years old? There are not many wrinkles on her face, she is definitely not old." Rurik muttered, he had already estimated what the woman experienced last night.

At this moment, Arik unceremoniously faced everyone in the room and introduced: "Compared to other women, this woman is the most cooperative. She only asks to forgive her daughter."

"Of course, if we are captured, we have to protect it. Brothers will always lack women." Rurik looked at the woman's face again, and couldn't help but move a little compassionately, and then ordered: "Woman, look up at me!" "

The woman continued to hook her head...

Otto burst out loudly: "Hold up your head, otherwise throw your daughter into the sea to feed the sharks now!"

This intimidation instantly scared the woman to kneel and howl: "I beg you, you can let me do anything. As long as my child can live..." She raised her head, with pleading in her eyebrows.

Are the men present who pity and cherish jade at the moment? No, this woman is just a captive, a plaything with special use value.

Rurik asked again: "Tell me, your name."

"Yes! I... I'm Broda (meaning flower dew), I'm just... a fisherman."

"Okay, Broda." Rurik looked down at the kneeling woman slightly: "It looks like your new man loves you very much. That's good. I am the commander of the Ross people, and I'm talking about contracts. All you have to do is If you serve me, we will recognize you as a native of Ross, and both you and your children will be protected by this army."

How could Broda, who was so frightened, completely believe this? Besides, the words came from a boy.

She already knew what the Ross people wanted her to do, and seemed to have to sell the people in the north to survive.

She gritted her teeth, "I will, I will take you to Baisha Port."

"You are very cooperative." Rurik nodded: "We plan to go out tomorrow, and you will be the messenger. We Ross people are kind and will take good care of your children in this camp."

Broda was trembling and her eyes were apathetic. She knew that these Ross people were threatening her children.

Before the woman was pushed into the door, the Rus had already made some war plans.

The next target was not Visby, the largest settlement on the island, but the Baisha Port in the north.

Now that Gotland has built some defensive measures in the north of the island, the legend will prevent the landing of warships? Upon hearing the news, Rurik thought of the "Atlantic Barrier" immediately. A series of fortifications of the Atlantic Wall defended the Allied landing from Calais, and the Allied forces chose Normandy as a result.

As in this war, the Rus also landed from the east coast of the Gotland. Smash down Baisha Port and destroy the enemy's various fortifications from behind (the premise does exist), so that when the army comes to threshing grass in the future, it will be able to walk directly.

There are many considerations for lay down White Sand Castle, that is, to weaken Visby's strength, and beware that when the army attacks Visby, the Gotlanders will have reinforcements to backstab the Rus.

When Visby was finally isolated, the Ross people had no worries during the decisive battle.

With a seemingly reliable guide, there will be one less trouble in the future.

Rurik discussed with everyone. The landing of the army was on the morning of August 4th. Today is the fifth day of the month. The task given to the soldiers today is to take a good rest and organize a team of soldiers tomorrow to attack by land. Baisha Port.

This battle was adjusted according to the sudden situation on the battlefield. Taking into account that the enemy's strength would not be very strong, the Russian army would not be able to move out.

The Ross people made a plan for this battle. The only troops on the expedition were the Warriors Second Banner Team, the Merlaren Banner Team, and some mercenaries and Corvin Crossbowmen from Rurik.

Rurik split the army into two, and the force to conquer Baisha Port was 1,500.

Even so, an army of this size is terribly large on Gotland. Its advantage is not only the number of people, this battle will be personally led by Liurik, he does not need the help of the old man's town at all. He knew that he would never fight a protracted battle. The battle must be won quickly. To win the day tomorrow, it must be delayed until the seventh day of the month at the latest.

After all, Baisha Port is also a settlement with a large population. What is the enemy's strength? Then let this large group of mercenaries of the Merlaren Banner team try the water! If this group of people find it difficult to fight, Rose's main force will press on again. In order to avoid the worst situation, this battle Lurik decided to bring a prepared ten-seater torsion slingshot, elite mercenaries and some sailors, just to manipulate these powerful weapons, because they are installed on the trolley, it has been It has become a heavy weapon that can be quickly deployed and combated.

The day of departure has arrived!

The soldiers did not dare, and a large number of soldiers who would not participate in this battle complained. Arik wanted to take the brothers to kill again, but this time the good show was to be snatched away by the old guy Harrodsson.

As usual, Rurik took his two close mates, Kanuf and Fisk.

The soldiers who were in desperate need of departure were already in the formation, and they gradually formed a matrix-like dense formation with a full set of weapons.

Rurik took a long breath and turned his head slightly: "The last time I fought, some people said that Haroldoson's son was a little timid. I don't think so, but the rumors do exist."

Kanuf felt aggrieved for a while, his little hand squeezed the hilt tightly: "I will be brave this time."

"What if the enemy rushes toward you?"

"Then bravely crossbow and shoot it."

"Oh, I hope you don't cry." Fisk gritted his teeth and said mockingly, but it was actually an encouragement.

Fisk really reassures Rurik that the twelve-year-old boy is really a brave player, and he must do more, but this time both boys will use steel-armed crossbows to start shooting.

The rectification of the army was basically completed. Soon, Broda, a woman sitting on a makeshift stretcher with broken fishing nets and wooden sticks, was carried over by two elite mercenaries.

Now she is possessed by a very strong Ross warrior. Rurik knows that the man is strong enough to be worthy of the sturdy silver scale breastplate. Rurik also counts on this person as an armored berserker in the most difficult time. Go hack and kill.

However, this man is obviously too strong, and how brute force he treats his own woman.

Broda's current situation is indeed screaming pain when walking, her condition has not improved, only that she was forced to serve again yesterday. However, she should be a very reliable guide. She was not properly protected, and Rrik blamed herself for a mistake. She had to complete the task of a good guide, so she enjoyed the service of "siding in a sedan chair".

Does she feel moved by being kindly treated?

Rurik didn't bother to care at all, he just wanted to end the battle sooner.

According to the information disclosed by Broda, it took only half a day on foot from Slitomo to Baisha Port.

Half-day journey? It's really not far. Lulik is only lacking in intelligence, and the distance from Slitomo to Baisha Port is only about nine kilometers.

"It might be feasible to solve the battle in one day. After walking for a long time to fight, everyone should not be very tired. Haha, fortunately, I brought some reindeer this time, they just can carry something to pull."

We said goodbye to my father and brother and the remaining soldiers, and the team led by Rurik began the "expedition."

Rurik is the commander, and he also has Harrodsson, Heliger, Mezzasta and Kejas under his command. Yes, the two former enemies of the Kewen people now have to fight side by side.

As for Heliger and his Mellaren brothers, they knew that this was their first battle. For money, for honor, and for the future, everyone must fight desperately. Rurik also made a promise: "You fight first, and after you win, you have the priority to plunder. Except for prisoners and gold and silver, you are free to plunder."

The army walked on the grassland between the mounds. The terrain was very comfortable. There was no discomfort when walking, and the reindeer pulling carts could walk smoothly.

To make armored soldiers march for a long time, you can only say that they are commanders and competent.

Among the army, only the "Warriors Second Banner" led by Haro Zossen and more than fifty elite mercenaries from Rurik were equipped with chain mail on a large scale. These armors are currently placed in large numbers on flat-bottomed carts, and Yufu is an experienced deer breeder, and the unarmored warrior guards them.

Rurik's army has achieved a certain degree of "mule-horizonization", and heavy ordnance and heavy weapons are now being dragged by reindeer.

He wanted to get horses, and theoretically they could get them. For example, the farms in the Novgorod region did raise some horses. Those horses are pony stallions native to Eastern Europe, which are shorter than Mongolian horses.

Workhorses should be available, provided that the Russ must expand the scope of trade and expand their tentacles to the south far away from the Baltic Sea, such as finding ways to do business with the Franks.

Without a suitable workhorse, you can only make do with reindeer. In addition to being unable to ride the reindeer, it is indeed very suitable for pulling carts.

The army as a whole walked lightly, and the flat and soothing terrain made the ground no way, but it did not affect the march of the team.

How far is the half-day journey? Anyway, the army began to march in an all-round way, and when they reached Broda, they were placed in a reindeer cart. She is at the top of the team like Rurik. She decides the direction of the team, and even Rurik has to follow it.

Only some mercenaries acted as scouts, and after hearing the general direction of Broda's guidance, they rushed to investigate.

Soon, the mercenary rushing forward came back and told Rurik who was sitting in the reindeer cart: "My lord, I think we have arrived."

"Really? You see a lot of houses?"

"Yes, and there are some low walls?"

wall? When thinking of the wall, Rurik thought of Borgholm's **** wall. "That wall is easy to break, right?"

This intelligence Broda didn't make it clear at first, but now the woman made it clear: "It's just a low wall to prevent the sheep from getting lost."

They still have sheep? Wouldn't it be there waiting for the Ross people to reward the army?

Rurik tried to learn more, but the scout didn't have any spectacles. The scout only claimed that the people walking around could not be seen with the naked eye, and it was suspected that the enemy had already made some preparations.

"Is it war preparations? Okay, just fight them. I'm not afraid of how many people come!"

News of the imminent battle spread quickly, and the soldiers who had a little discomfort in their calves and feet quickly regained their spirits. Where are they going to fight? They all want to make money as robbers, and their eyes are full of greed.

They moved on and soon saw a low house in the distance.

Rurik glanced intently: "Huh? It really is a Viking-style long house. There are indeed some earthen walls, which are so low that they turned over."

He stood up quickly, and the soldiers standing on the car looking around him gave a loud command: "Keep in formation, approach the enemy slowly, force them to show up, and fight them!"

Ross's Warriors Flag team, the soldiers screamed in unison, and the infected Mellaren Flag team yelled.

They have left the gap between the mounds~www.mtlnovel.com~ The place where they stepped on was already the sandy land of sparse meadows, and it was full of white sand.

And their roars have indeed drifted to Baisha Port with the wind, and the three local families are now carrying some refugees who have fled. The news of the Ross army's landing has been known throughout Baisha Port!

Some people immediately evacuated to Visby after learning of the incident from the refugees, but more people decided to stay.

They must protect their property, and of course they can't just listen to the refugees' rhetoric. How can there be so many Ross people? Ten thousand people? It's crazy! Didn't their army go south to attack some hostile force? Probably they all went desperately with the Danes. Everyone knows about this. Gotland is a relatively safe place. How can those guys in the north organize an army of 10,000 people to land on the island?

Obviously, some Ross people have landed on the island, and I'm afraid they are coming to plunder like three years ago. The three families made some preparations in advance. They were no longer afraid of sending people to notify Visby's friends that the Rus had landed. They themselves were also ready to fight the Rus army.

They are very confident that Baisha Port has always been the front line to prevent the enemy from entering the bandits in the north. Although everyone has suffered a blood loss at sea in the past few years, the nearly 1,000 men organized on the ground have strong self-confidence.
