Chapter 574: The Day of the Decisive Battle

The forest is filled with killing intent, and the coolness of the morning makes people shiver even more.

Vatyara and his brothers who stood by the mountain fort had been trapped by hunger for many days. They became weak and seemed to lose the strength to pull the bowstring.

On the contrary, the Ross people in these days besieged the city have always been delicious.

Watyara even saw ships appearing on the river in the distance. It was a bigger ship than he knew. Is this the big ship that his men reported earlier?

He didn't know how long he would remain trapped, but he had a very strong hunch that reinforcements would arrive in the next two or three days.

This is indeed the case!

Because, on this day, just to the south of the old gray squirrel hill fort, the long-distance Tavastia reinforcements have already encountered the Ross hunters who infiltrated this place to hunt!

A gray shadow swayed in the forest, and then a silent arrow flew.

The unprepared and slightly fatigued Tavastias were suddenly hit.

Three fighters were hit by arrows, and the flaky arrow cluster of the rough diamond-shaped spear was pulled out. What surprised them was that the style of the arrow cluster was clearly their own.

Is this a misunderstanding? Is it the brother who guards the territory that the army from afar is the enemy?

The misunderstanding was quickly approached because of encounters in at least five locations.

The loose hunting Ross people are not reckless fools. They hold bows or crossbows and throw arrows to meet them, and then run away.

Although some Tavastias fired arrows to counterattack, after all, there was not much interaction between the two sides.

The exhausted expeditionary fighter suddenly woke up, and the Supreme Military Commander Watkad asked all the village leaders to bring their brothers closer to him.

The various small groups of Tavastia that had been turned into a scattered movement, they are now gathered in the forest into a dense formation.

Realizing that something bad happened, the Hunter Ross ran out of the woods like crazy, yelling for new enemies to appear while running.

Soon, all the hunters who were active in the south returned to the team, and Rurik also learned the good news he had dreamed of.

"Finally it's about to fight."

A young giant stood up, and many heroes gathered around him.

All the centurions of the Russian army were called to participate in the military meeting urgently, and the Balmerks were eager to try.

"They're finally here, I thought I needed to wait a few more days." Arik was excited, his eyes full of desire to kill.

"I don't know how many people have come." Biyunni asked cautiously.

Heliger was also infected by this atmosphere: "Even if five thousand people come, we will all have their heads chopped off."

Rurik looked around and coughed resolutely: "There is no need to say anything to boost morale. Now gather all the soldiers to me, and our army is ready to fight."

"Ah, this." Arik was taken aback: "My brother, our siege army has withdrawn. Wouldn't the enemies in the fort have a chance to escape."

"Those people? They are no longer important. The purpose of their existence is to attract the enemy's main force. Besides, I don't think they really have the strength to escape through the wall."

Rurik really didn't want to care about the guys in the mountain fort anymore. He originally wanted an empty place as a battlefield. It just so happened that this land that was pioneered by the invaders was really empty, and this place was the best battlefield.

Once fighting, the battle will eventually spread to the mountain fort. Why worry about the escape of the besieged enemy? They are just small characters who are trapped close to the war, they are really hard to escape.

All the hunters who withdrew were describing that they saw an enemy in different directions. According to comprehensive intelligence, the array that Rurik judged the enemy seemed to be like a big net, and it came here as a small group.

Their direction of travel is so accurate that Rurik, the leader who doesn't know the road, doesn't believe it.

Since the enemy came prepared, he should not be confident in the strength of the Rus army and despise the enemy.

But these Tavastia invaders are really hard not to be looked down upon.

Let's pay the utmost respect to these "Thousand Miles Rescue" enemies!

"I want to kill them all. I want you to do your best to kill their males, so that this enemy loses the ability to attack us!" He gave this "extreme" order to the brothers, causing everyone to roar. He started Deploy the army.

How to defend against the enemy? Is there a better method than "clamp tactics"?

As shown in the battle of Gotland, the British island's guns against Northumbria King, Rurik decided to implement this tactic, even if it is the Balmerk allies in the army, they are already Know the basic operation of this tactic in the battle in Britain.

To be honest, Rurik didn't think the Balmerks had too high combat effectiveness, but once they were combined with their own shooting flag team, their combat effectiveness would naturally increase substantially.

In a sense, the Balmerk warriors of Bijuni were auxiliary forces to the shooting flag team.

Who is the strongest in Rurik's heart? It's your own shooting force.

For longbowmen and crossbowmen, the self-protection and melee capabilities of individual soldiers are naturally bad. Once they form a group and are guarded by professional melee units, the situation is completely changed.

Based on this principle, the Balmerks and the shooting flag team with a large number of heavy weapons became the center of the Russian army. Arik's Warriors First Flag team and Heliger's Mellaren Flag team were on the left and right sides.

A large number of Ross fighters gathered in Xiangrulik's camp, and they were moving grandiosely on the edge of the forest. This was really foolish for the tired defenders who were trapped in the lonely city.

"Boss! They... are they at large?" asked a tired soldier.

Vatyara glanced sallowly, and shook his head vigilantly: "They are gathering troops to attack our fortress! Damn it! Brothers, don't sleep, get up and fight!"

However, people who are relieved just want to lie down, even if they climb the wooden ladder up the wooden wall of the mountain fort, how many can continue to draw their bows to fight back? Many people have given up. These once-confident Tavastias have been exhausted by the continuous harassment of the Ross people (the trebuchet stone) these days. Coupled with the torture of hunger, many people think of suicide to escape. .

Some people think that since the Ross people are gathering, the siege will not be lifted?

But when the people who wanted to escape from the chaos finally stood on the wall, the forest in the distance was still smoking, and the thought of fleeing disappeared.

Rurik let the assembled soldiers rest in the forest. They lined up their ranks, and then sat down and waited for work.

In this way, once the enemy suddenly appeared in the forest, the Russ army could walk out of the woods and fight the enemy in a decisive battle.

Maintaining the formation is very important! Rurik also had a great appetite this time. Since someone ridiculed that the enemy might have five thousand people, the Ross people were prepared and resolutely maintained their formation to eat the entire enemy army.

Of course, morale boosting before the war is indispensable!

The longbowmen and the trebuchet were dispatched again, and under the eyes of everyone, they once again used the firepower at the old gray squirrel hill fort that had been beaten for many days.

The Ross army leaped for joy, and the birds all over the forest were taken aback and flew clean. They spontaneously knocked on their shields and issued a Viking roar, and collectively stomped the ground. From the perspective of this defender, the Ross people were really about to attack the city.

Vatyara closed his eyes, he was unwilling to do so. He was a warrior and died like an ant.

A large number of rocks fell from the sky, and lethal arrows were mixed in it. On the other hand, the soldiers dragged their tired bodies to hide one by one, and the weak everyone basically lost the ability to fight back.

But the Ross did not launch a general offensive.

Although the roar of the Ross people was shielded by the pine forest, the vibrations caused by their crazy stomping, and the large number of fleeing birds, all proved one thing to the slowly advancing Tavastia reinforcements gathered in a group-the enemy's main force in front.

There is nothing to say. This is a decisive battle to bet on the fate of the alliance. All village leaders and ordinary soldiers share the same hatred and unswervingly continue their advance.

The Tavastias, with as many as a thousand bow-bearers in front, followed closely behind them with their short spears.

Finally, in the evening, a group of people suddenly emerged from the quiet southern forest.

The unexpected personnel really frightened Yiyi Lauros.

People stood up one after another, their surprised expressions disappeared one after another, replaced by a desire to go to war, even if it was already evening.

Arik rushed to find his brother to explain his brothers' thoughts on playing.

"Someone wants to challenge? No! Let everyone stay calm and wait for all of them."

"However, the enemy has come. No one is afraid of fighting under the night."

"Fight under the night?" Rurik smiled contemptuously. "So they will run away in the chaos. Brother, I want to annihilate them, and I don't want any enemy to run away. Don't worry, they will appear in a decisive battle with our army tomorrow. Follow my schedule."

A large number of bonfires were lit in the Rus' forest army. After night fell, how terrible was this scene?

The Tavastia reinforcements who had first walked out of the forest all retreated, leaving only a few eyeliners to stare at the enemy's camp.

Originally, they were attacked and lost several brothers during the march, which made everyone feel unhappy. After learning that the enemy is indeed powerful, people will inevitably not be afraid.

Didn't they initially feel high-spirited and feel invincible in the world? This is indeed the case, but this arrogance has been disrupted by the continuous march of the past six days.

The Tavastias who sat down were resting, and people quickly learned that the Rus had broken open a huge army formation, and that a large number of looming bonfires in the forest explained too much.

tension? fear? Excited? It doesn't matter anymore.

Military Commander Watkad also summoned all the village leaders under the night to convene their last military meeting before the war.

Things get a little tricky, and someone suddenly retreats when the battle is approaching.

"They must be very strong, and their strength does not seem to be less than ours. If we make an all-out assault tomorrow, we are bound to lose a lot."

Watkad immediately refuted this cowardly remark. He held an axe and pointed at the speaker: "Shut up! We didn't come here to be frightened by the enemy and run away. This is a battle of our destiny, and no one can't. escape."

Another perpetual main fighter spoke: "The Ross people have lit a lot of bonfires. Are they barbecued? Since they are eating, why don't we launch an attack?"

"Yes!" Someone echoed.

"No." The sane man yelled: "Brothers need to rest and eat some jerky to fight! We can't expect the weary to win, let alone it is night."

Watkad was not so stupid as to take a tired division to attack at night. Besides, the Tavastias did not have the experience of attacking at night.

Those guys in the main battle are clearly doing a performance, but to prove to everyone that they are not afraid to fight.

Watkad gave everyone a rest, because he neglected to take care of any fire-making behavior.

Soon the flames appeared in the camp of Tavastia, although the flames were dim, they could not escape the eyes of the Ross people.

Everything is clear. The enemy's reinforcements have already appeared. While the Ross people are busy sharpening their swords to eat, the people who are trapped in the fort suddenly burst out with great vitality.

Vatyara suddenly gained strength. He climbed down the wooden wall along the ropes with more than 30 still stamina. Then more than a hundred hungry people climbed out, even if they fell heavily on the mud. They will also drag their hungry bodies towards the forest camp where their compatriots are.

There is a strange team moving towards their side, they are still talking their hometown as they walk?

The surprised "eyeliner" immediately understood-this is the thousand brothers sent out before!

Finally, the hungry Wat Yarabi helped him walk into the camp and saw his elder brother. The old man simply hugged his elder brother Watkad and wept bitterly.

"Brother! You are still alive! God bless you." He comforted his brother, and brought some dried meat and clean water.

Those who successfully withdrew were all saved. However, there were still more than two hundred and a half dead people lying in the mountain fort. They were one step away from becoming hungry.

The appearance of the old brother was undoubtedly a gift to Watkad and all the leaders of the village. The man who had eaten some food to restore some strength began to explain his fierce battle with the Rus.

My brother's words are becoming more and more bizarre. It seems that the Ross people are not flesh and blood. They are all undead monsters that cross the sea. They are vicious skinning hands and cannibals. The cruel methods and sharp weapons completely surpass everyone. Imagination.

Many people were suddenly on pins and needles when they learned the real information. Many people didn't say it, but the flame reflected the expression clearly saying "I want to run away."

Up to now, Watkad suddenly felt that the appearance of his younger brother was no longer a happy event. Once he learned that the enemy was really strong and powerful, it would be strange that the guys had no one to retreat and were still confident.

At the critical moment, Watkad hurriedly stood up, facing all the village leaders and said timidly: "My brother was scared~www.mtlnovel.com~ The enemy is indeed strong, but we are not weak. The stronger the enemy, this decisive battle. The more important it is. For the sake of our wives and children, and our most precious mountains, we cannot retreat. If we are destined to die in battle, we will die for everything we guard."

Watkad also wanted to say something high-spirited. He hoped to inspire everyone's fighting spirit and dispel some of the existing depression. Unfortunately, looking at everyone's expressions, everyone just raised their hands in line with each other. I was afraid in my heart. It is still an indelible worry.

However, everyone has nowhere to go.

Watkad, he rushed to the battlefield as a martyr, and he understood that this battle was about everything.

The vast majority of people are sand trapped by the torrent of the times, and they are small characters.

Regardless of the mood, the strongest force that Tavastia can assemble, after a night of rest, everyone's body has been restored to a large extent. When the morning fog began to recede, they walked out with all kinds of weapons. The forest roared while walking slowly.

The mountains and rivers were shocked, and the birds and beasts disappeared.

The roar of the Tavastia is to declare that they are the masters of this area! However, the Ross people did not allow it.

The Ross people, who had already stood up, began to beat the wooden shields and retaliated with Viking roars, and some people blew the horns in the chaos to build momentum. In this chaos, the Russ walked out of the woods with weapons while grabbing dried fish and wheat cakes and stuffing them into their mouths.

Everything is unspoken. The awakened Rurik got up and put his own helmet on his head. Under the protection of many guards, he rushed to the scene of the decisive battle with his two thousand soldiers...
