Rise of Rurik - Chapter 1213

[Chapter 1213 Enraged]

That night, the Franks in the city were busy cutting wood.

The horses tied the cables and dragged the houses directly, and the soldiers unloaded the girders by accident, and chopped them into sharp shapes with axes.

These are the execution tools, and they will be put on the old battlefield in the north of the city to execute all the Norman prisoners.

All the warriors in the army who are good at hunter skinning were organized, and Tristan lectured them overnight.

After all, it is necessary to execute some villains by extreme means. Even if the prisoners are extremely vicious, it does not mean that their own soldiers must die of illness.

Unless the anger of the fighters is mobilized to suppress the inner moral defense.

A proud general swung his sword straight away, pointing straight to the east and north.

It was here that General Tristan denounced the atrocities of the Normans.

“Norman robbers! They killed the Archbishop of Maastricht! They killed the Archbishop of Liege! They killed anyone they saw and robbed them of property. The most devout believers were captured and sold as slaves in the far north Tortured in the frozen ice caves of the city. Now! God has given us the opportunity for vengeance! This is the fate of all of us! I order you to punish those Normans in the most cruel way, and you must not simply hang them! They are You are the best wolf hunters and skinners, the wolves that run into the flock. Tomorrow I order you to slash the Normans like beasts, and we shall see how dark their hearts are. Don’t be embarrassed! Whatever you do is just, God will not punish you for your barbarism, but for your bravery. You will anger the Normans on the other side of the river, and finally I will lead the cavalry to trample the enemy to death Many of the recruited fighters did not have too much psychological burden, and some people’s attitude actually felt that they were not brave enough to kill a prisoner.

Some people feel embarrassed, and when the anger is mobilized, the embarrassment disappears.

Right on the wall of the inner city, soldiers who hurried down to report woke up the general from his sleep.

Tristan was obsessed, and so were the other junior officers.

He was a light sleeper and was not angry when woken up.

“What’s the matter?” “My lord! On the other side of the river! On the other side…” The nervous soldier pointed to the east with his big hand, nervously incoherent.

Tristan’s head buzzed and his hair trembled all over, “What’s going on? Don’t tell me that the Normans played a trick of night attack.” “No. But the other side is full of flames, and we… seem to be surrounded by endless enemies “It’s ridiculous. I have observed the size of their army during the day, and even though there are so many people, it is not enough for your description. Idiot, step back. I will go to the city wall to find out.” Tristan is temporarily unwilling Entering the inner city, the cathedral is still a huge mound, and the corpses of priests and people are staked, and the stench is still pervasive.

Covering his mouth and nose, he entered the inner city and boarded the city wall,

When the southeast wind blows, I took a deep breath, but what I saw with my eyes forced me to tremble violently.

“That soldier was right. What’s going on?! Could it be that the Normans increased their troops at night?!” Tristan knew nothing about bonfire tricks. .

Morale is very important to the current army. If one side frightens the other side by some means before the war, the next day’s battle will be that one side is energetic and vigorous and the other side is sluggish.

The job of the Frankish soldiers placed on the city wall was to keep an eye on them. The first panic they had was, but fortunately, this negative emotion did not infect the main force of the army.

Tristan didn’t want to believe that the enemy had really increased their troops, so he told the soldiers present to keep calm and never pass the news on to others.

It is currently impossible to make any adjustments to the tactics. As long as you look up at the positions of the moon and Sirius now, you will know that dawn is not far away.

At this moment, some soldiers really couldn’t sleep. They squinted their eyes and lay on the open ground in cloth masks, resting quietly with their horses.

Only veterans who have experienced many battles can still sleep peacefully now, and the younger soldiers are mostly excited and angry. Small and medium groups chat about their actions after dawn, and they simply don’t sleep.

On the other side of the Maas River, the truly exhausted Ross Army fell asleep in pieces.

The dense bonfires did not appear suddenly, but the psychological warfare tactics that the blue fox learned from the war in the war.

fall.

fall.

The dense bonfires did not appear suddenly, but the psychological warfare tactics that the blue fox learned from the war in the war.

The originator of such a tactic was Rurik himself. The blue fox who improved the tactic ordered the spirited soldiers to gradually increase the number of bonfires, adhering to the continued igniting of the bonfires as long as the sun was dark, just to create an illusion that the Russian army continued to increase its troops .

Cloth strips are tied with wooden sticks and then soaked in wooden barrels filled with pine resin mixed with seal oil. The high temperature in midsummer makes the infiltration effect of the oil excellent, and the torches are being made quickly.

The two sides, who knew little about each other, waited for the dawn, and now it was clear that the Franks had taken the lead.

When it was about to dawn, the soldiers who were ordered to execute the prisoners took the lead.

They didn’t move their horses, but they were worried that the neighing of the horses would spread to the other side to alert them.

The prisoners who had been hungry for a day stumbled and were dragged away, and the wooden stakes used as criminal detention were also dragged and moved.

Just to the north of the city, there used to be a thousand city defenders who fought against the Mellaren army who attacked first. The dead bodies all over the place were unattended, and the highly decomposed corpses made the Frankish soldiers miserable. Vomit it all up.

This place is already very close to the river, and the dim sparkling of the Maas River can be seen clearly under the moonlight and starlight.

They moved completely in the dark, thanks to the twilight tonight, the eyes were not darkened, and in the darkness before dawn, they began to dig a wet pit, buried the wooden stakes, and tied the prisoners tightly to the wood. on the pile.

Everything went very smoothly, so at dawn, the soldiers who gradually woke up ran to the river to get some clear water, looked left and right to enjoy the coolness of the morning, and noticed some dark shadows that suddenly appeared in the north of the city out of the corner of their eyes.

what is that?

Are some active people?

The great discovery was widely spread, and soon the entire Ross army camp became tense, and the soldiers stood up one after another. Most of them thought that the Franks dared to launch a raid across the river after eating a leopard. Let’s not talk about whether this is possible. As the weapons gather, let’s follow suit.

Blue Fox was awakened by the war siren, and he didn’t care whether it was absurd or not. The noise outside the tent became more and more noisy, as if the Frankish cavalry had launched a camp robbery.

“Is it an enemy attack? Let’s fight! Let’s fight! Put on your armor!” The Ross army is obviously too nervous, which is a good thing. When the soldiers gradually realized what happened, most of them had already put on their armor. After putting on the helmet, what’s more, he hurriedly ate some hard wheat cakes and dried fish to replenish his strength.

The soldiers gradually moved towards the north of the two camps spontaneously, just to see clearly what those figures were doing.

In the open field on the other side of the river, a cross flag became the most prominent feature.

The soldiers of the Ross Army who didn’t know where they were, looked at each other across the river, and gradually saw what was going on.

At the beginning, they really wanted to watch a show. After they found someone tied to a wooden stake, everyone was still talking about what the Franks were doing. People with a discerning eye suddenly realized—the tied blond man

There are tattoos all over the body.

Oops!

is our man!

Probably the captured Mälaren.

The individual soldiers of the Ross army Mellaren who had just returned from Aachen were not familiar with them. Bjorn, who had heard the news, had to arrive at the riverside with his men who had successfully evacuated to find out. It seems that the people who are used as sacrifices are his subordinates.

“Damn it, are you using my soldiers as sacrifices? You Franks also understand human sacrifices?” In all fairness, although the Viking tribes of all walks of life did not expressly oppose human sacrifices, this kind of extreme sacrificial activity is first and foremost to choose slaves as human sacrifices, using human sacrifices. Sacrifice must also be a means of cooperating with major events.

Bjorn looked left and right, he agreed last night to prepare the torches and launch an arson operation today, and now he is more willing to agree with the idea of that young man in Askad—to organize a large army to take the initiative to attack.

“Come on! People from Mellaren! Organize ships to follow me to counterattack!” After a loud roar, he called all the Ross people present: “Brothers Ross! Seeing that we have a common ancestor, for the sake of the gods help me One hand! We can’t let our friends get into trouble.” Even though almost all the captured Mälaren owed debts, and even were essentially debt slaves, after all, they were from the Mälaren tribe, and it was the creditor’s responsibility to punish them.

Franks are not eligible!

Of course, from the standpoint of the Frankish army, it makes sense even if the captured captives were broken into pieces.

The executioners who were ordered to execute the captives all put away the small meat-cutting knives, which were originally their own tableware, and now they are really good at hunting the “hungry wolves” in front of them.

They had to put on a good play, and seeing more and more armed Normans gathering on the opposite bank of the river, they lit up their knives and broadswords.

[Currently used, the app with the most complete and best audio for listening to books, integrated with 4 speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and an artifact that supports offline reading, huanyuanapp source app] “Norman! Look good! Come on! We kill your people like slaughtering sheep!” Similar words kept shouting, just to attract further attention.

“What are they barking at? I’m so mad!” Bjorn frowned, looking left and right, “Everything is ready, let’s cross the river and rescue them.” After a while, Blue Fox himself brought his armored relatives Soldiers arrived at the scene in person.

The average width of the Maas River here is more than 100 meters, and people with excellent eyesight can clearly see what the people on the other side are doing.

Even so, the blue fox listened to the clamor of the wind and the lake.

He saw that Bjorn was leading his men to pull the half-stranded longboat, so he hurriedly greeted him and stopped him temporarily: “What are you going to do? Just cross the river and fight?” “Otherwise? My people are like cattle and sheep.” Ordinary encounters with sacrifices! Even if they are really killed, I will take their bodies back. Those magicians

The Ranks I will kill them all.

You don’t hinder me.

“For a while, the blue fox was very pervasive, and now there was a buzzing in the ears, and more and more soldiers gathered by the river. Naturally, a large number of soldiers were really infected by the restless Mälaren people, and they all went to pull their longboats. At this moment, the gathered soldiers booed. Blue Fox raised his head, and squinting, he saw that the Franks’ swords had pierced the stomachs of those who were tied to the stakes. More cruel things were still going on. It happened, like cutting a sheep and slaughtering a cow, the Frankish executioners ignored the heart-piercing wailing of the victim, like opening a wooden door, forcibly tore open the wound of the victim, pulled the heart and liver, and then moved away from the body, and will be tortured The painful image of the victim was openly shown to the Normans on the opposite bank. The executioner was covered in blood, and his hands were bleeding. They continued to cut with knives as if venting their anger, and continued to shout. It was too late! Bjorn still wanted to save it, The captured subordinates died like human sacrifices. No! Their death was even a hundred times worse than human sacrifices. “Damn the Franks!

You have to pay the price in blood!

Bjorn has never been so angry and mad. He almost gritted his teeth and clenched his fists almost broken his knuckles. The minds of the people of Mälaren were completely filled with anger, and the three captains took the lead in crossing the Maas River. They were not alone. , because all the Rus allied forces who witnessed this fell into rage. The most radical were the young fighters, especially the Seventh Banner. Askad gathered his brothers, and they were all dressed in armor, and they were gathering in a large number The riverside cut the rope and was busy pushing the boat.” A group of impulsive brats.

“The blue fox bared his teeth and rushed over with his own soldiers. Just as he pressed Askad’s shoulder, the boy struggled to break free.” Askad?

What are you doing?

“” Uncle!

You are a fool!

Last night was the time to support the all-out battle I hoped for!

Now the Franks are riding shit on us!

The shame and humiliation cannot be tolerated, and we want to avenge those Mälaren people.

“”you!

There may be fraud in this.

“The blue fox felt the danger intuitively, but the radical young people didn’t listen to it at all. Askad didn’t want to take care of the blue fox at all. Such unorganized and undisciplined behavior seemed to be a common phenomenon. If he was killed on the battlefield, he would That’s all. Never! There has never been a precedent for a Viking warrior being slaughtered by the Franks as cattle and sheep. The shame and humiliation angered almost everyone, and it is wishful thinking to make everyone rational. “Uncle!

No one can be a coward!

You go organize an attack!

I act now.

revenge!

let’s go!

“The Maas River is wide and wide. This time, Bjorn took his own people to reach the other side of the river first. He was relieved to see that the elite Ross in blue-striped white robes also started to cross the river. He was very relieved, thinking that the blue Hu had figured it out in an instant, and couldn’t help being overjoyed, and shouted at his last fighters who had only a few hundred people: “Brothers, we are not fighting alone.

The Rus immediately landed too.

Walk!

Follow me to kill those executioners, and find their main force to seek revenge!

“What is the cavalry? Bjorn’s Mälaren army has never faced the enemy’s cavalry army head-on. Besides, didn’t the Ross people defeat the Frankish cavalry? They can, and the Mälaren people can even more. Powerful Confidence accompanied by rage, Bjorn held a round shield in his left arm and a steel sword of Ross in his right. The Mellaren army did not organize a shield wall, and they ran all the way on the grass by the river, not even bothering to manage their own longboat, letting One of the boats was pushed aside by the current. Some time ago, the Mälaren Army took the lead in attacking on behalf of the entire coalition force, and the landing place was almost at this location. Now they are still the first to act. This kind of bravery is very impressive. Appeal. The Seventh Banner of the Ross Army was the first responder, so when they saw Askad launching an attack, his little buddies Kelha and Yinvar each led the Finnish Army and the Danish Army to cross the river. So As a result, more soldiers believed that the supreme command, Blue Fox, had issued an order for a full-scale crossing operation. Except for a small number of people left behind in the camp, the entire army began their own crossing operations.

“That’s all, Askad is too lazy to continue talking nonsense, because he has already pushed the long boat back into the water with more than a dozen brothers, and is wading into the boat with violent splashes. The young man flipped out the long oar skillfully .”Bros!
