Rise of Rurik - Chapter 654

[Chapter 655 Ivan the Terrible Is My Descendant]

Under the scorching sun, the spearheads were extremely glaring. Eight hundred warriors of Medved’s Slavic Banner Team were now fighting in the name of the Principality of Ross.

They share the same hatred, not only being accepted by the Principality of Ross, but the most important thing is that the thousands of enemies who rushed up are their own enemies.

“It’s time to avenge our ancestors! Kill the villains of Pine Needle Manor and take back our farmland!”

Medved yelled a few inspiring calls, and his guys kept calm, arranged in a dense formation, and built a wall of spears about three meters in front of the team.

They were not recruits at all, they were warriors who had personally killed hundreds of other Varyags in the bloody Battle of Gotland.

Not only did they not have psychological revenge, but they also had a self-confidence and arrogance that was rarely seen in the Ilmen Slavic community.

This is also the reason, until the army of Pine Needle Manor was about to rush to the front, the erected spears were leveled one after another, and a group of guys who were not afraid of death were charged in the form of a wall.

The sharp cone-shaped spearhead is intentionally designed to be more piercing than the flat spearhead wall. It is made of forged chromium iron, and the overall shape is triangular. It is not so much a spearhead as a military thorn mounted on a long wooden pole. .

It was born for killing, and the sharp spearhead piercing the enemy’s body is a terrifying blood-sucking hole.

The blood of the enemy was splattered on Medved’s face, and he was dressed as a Rus and behaved as a Rus.

Where the flowers of blood bloomed, the Slavic warriors dominated by White Tree Manor became violent.

They fought wildly like the Rus, clenched their wooden poles with both hands, screaming and stabbing at the enemy ahead.

The frontal battle had just begun, and the peasants of the Pine Needle Manor who attacked the Ross Army’s army suffered a major blow.

The spear formation has the meaning of the Swiss phalanx, and the bound axes or daggers are lowered from the spearhead, making all the spears look like war halberds.

The soldiers in the first row were all wearing chain mail sewn with metal plates, like fish scales. They were very defensive and naturally located in the dangerous first row.

These soldiers in the front row poked ruthlessly, even if the enemy had already vomited blood on his knees, the sharp spearheads still spared no effort to poke on them, as if they wanted to make meat sauce.

The soldiers in the second row are assisting the first row. They rarely wear armor but are also protected by the brothers in front.

Then to the third row and the fourth row, because of the combat distance, these fighters have found it difficult to completely rely on spearheads to kill the enemy.

There are always some lucky enemies who escaped the initial spearheads. They bravely approached the center of the Ross army and began to face blows from the sky.

The ax fell from the sky, and chopped down with great force, smashing the enemy’s brains.

What a crazy scene this is. The Slavic warriors in the Ross army, the Ross people, the Balmerks and other traditional Viking ethnic groups subconsciously don’t think they are a strong army.

It is just such a group of people who, relying on “simple” spears, have made a ruthless “lawnmower”.

The assailants of Pine Needle Manor were pierced by chaotic spears one after another, but the minds of the people behind were blank. Men and women charged with their own simple weapons. Relying on the absolute numerical advantage to defeat the Ross Army.

Some people with brains think that this is the only magic weapon to win the pine needle farm, but most people forget everything, including forgetting what is fear and what is pain.

It was as if a machine born purely for fighting had become a group of people who were not afraid of death.

It’s a pity that bravery and recklessness are just a thought away.

The spear warrior who has no psychological worries does not care whether the enemy in front of him is a man or a woman. This is a battlefield, and if he does not kill the enemy, he will die. Besides, they are enemies for a century, and today is the time to settle the score.

Medved and his men kept advancing slowly, carrying bloody spears, and soon they had stepped on the corpses of their enemies.

Many enemies were mortally wounded and groaning in pain as they were dying.

Just behind the Slavic flag team, the command center of the Russian army is here.

One of the duties of Rurik’s heavy armored mercenary guards is to supervise the battle team, press the formation to urge the Slavic flag team to maintain a slow-moving attack posture, and now they are carrying steel swords, one by one, giving mercy to the dying enemy at their feet.

It was only a part of the Pine Needle Manor Army that attacked the central army. This was the main direction of attack. As the attack was obviously blocked, it became a natural option for the two wings of the attack to detour and destroy the Ross Army formation.

The fighting on the left and right flanks of the Russian army was slightly later than that of the central army.

Both Arik and Hailafeld led their subordinates to build a shield wall. The first row of soldiers used shields to protect their entire torsos, and the second row raised their shields obliquely to cover their heads and the foreheads of their brothers in front.

As for the brothers in the third row, they should hold against the front row to ensure that the shield wall is solid enough.

A convex arc array with a length of about 300 meters appeared. This is a solid offensive formation, and the convex arc also well disperses the enemy’s impact.

There was an astonishing collision between the two wings, and the attackers who were engulfed in ecstasy by their companions, especially those in the front row, knew that the Ross had already built a shield wall, and they could no longer stop.

To stop is to be trampled to death by the follow-up companions, and charging is probably more or less ominous.

There were ferocious bumps here and there, and parts of the shield wall loosened slightly.

Aric gritted his teeth and stayed in the front line. He held the sword in his right hand. He had just experienced the shock of the collision. The steel sword was stabbed out along the gap of the shield. In an instant, bright red blood flowed into the shield wall along the bloodletting groove of the steel sword. within.

“Kill! Kill everything! Go drink the blood of your enemies like the strongest wine!”

Maybe Arik doesn’t know what he’s talking about, or maybe it doesn’t make sense anymore.

As the captain of the flag, he was virtually unable to command the entire flag team during this bloody battle.

The moment the two wings collided, a large number of charging Pine Needle Manor fighters were stabbed to death with swords.

Of course, the casualties of the Ross army also occurred because of the lack of protection of many people’s necks, and the broad-bladed spearheads of the Pine Needle Manor Army began to scratch the necks of the Ross people.

Blood gushes everywhere, and the battlefield is filled with the strong smell of rust and sweat.

The sound of shouting and killing was endless, and there was an involuntary swishing sound in the sky.

When the Pine Needle Manor warriors ignited their furious courage, even though the leader Vadim was injured and retreated to the rear, the warriors still launched an unstoppable charge, even knowing that it might be death.

Hundreds of men were killed by the Rus’ army in a very short time, and the death would not stop as long as they charged.

Unarmored people were easily poked to death and hacked to death. A lucky few were finally able to fight the Ross people at close range, and eventually died outnumbered.

The Pine Needle Manor army continued to detour to the two wings, while the Ross army was also deliberately shrinking its formation.

Could it be that Rurik can observe the entire battlefield situation from the perspective of God, and can see that the enemy is trying to attack and break the formation?

Do not!

The simple reason is that the number of enemies who died under the wall of Slavic flag spears in Medved was at least four hundred.

This is the fact, because both Rurik and Otto are already walking on the battlefield full of dead bodies, and the main body of the Ross army is being embedded into the enemy’s formation!

In less than ten minutes of hand-to-hand combat, as many as a thousand people have died in the Pine Needle Manor, and the number of Ross Army’s dead is currently only a handful.

The balance of forces between the two sides has undergone a major change. The Ross army who landed is still 2,400 people. Pine Needle Manor and a total of six allied troops arrived on the scene. There are only less than 4,000 people left from the 6,000-strong armed forces. .

Both sides were fighting fiercely on the battlefield outside the village where corpses were piled up. Rurik originally thought that his army formation would form a solid ring, and thus rely on the flowering of the center to win the decisive victory.

However, the morale of the enemy finally collapsed!

Yes, Pine Needle Manor was no longer able to charge. Facing the aggressive Ross army, they were retreating, and the arrow strikes from above kept causing casualties.

The blank mind regained its sanity slightly, and the living male and female soldiers were all retreating.

To be fair, the morale of the Pine Needle Manor army has not completely collapsed. When the militants saw that there were only a handful of people visible to the naked eye left in a mighty army, they were desperate.

After 20 minutes of hand-to-hand combat, the Ross army no longer needed to build a circular defense line to make the center bloom, because the offensive and defensive momentum was different.

The two sides fell into a strange confrontation again. Both Arik and Hailafeld completed the adjustment of the shield wall. The injured man retreated to the end, and the brother who died in battle was pulled to the rear first. The shield wall first became in line with the spear formation of the Chinese army. Even, and then the two big pincers like a crab, started the so-called pincer attack.

The effective resistance of the Pine Needle Manor has dropped to 2,000 people because they were too brave, or reckless. Since the attack on the lake began to the present, more than 4,000 corpses have fallen on the ground.

“Rurik, you can order a full-scale attack.” Otomu’s face was deep and his eyes seemed to have insight into everything, and his request was fully accepted by Rurik.

Why was the attack order issued?

!

All the leather drums in the army began to beat crazily, although some bull horns blew wildly regardless of the tone.

Grund and a small group of his guys have been “hidden in the snow”. This group of Danish mercenaries are all wearing the heaviest armor of the Russian army at this moment. Most of them hold double axes and squeeze into the spear wall in front. Out of a gap suddenly burst out.

look!

A group of berserkers wearing silver scale armor appeared again!

Their appearance is simply the so-called final blow of the re-enactment of the decisive battle of Gotland.

Grund, he felt that he was the star that everyone was looking at. In the brand new bloody battle, he should personally announce the beginning of the Ross army’s full-scale attack.

“Brothers! For honor! Come with me!”

The words were very domineering, and his old buddies charged with all their strength. In fact, his words were addressed to the entire Ross army, but the high-pitched declaration was drowned out by the shouts of killing.

The appearance of the heavy-armored warriors completely shocked the last Pine Needle Manor army. Those who persisted until the end and were hesitating whether to push into the farm, there was no need to hesitate any longer.

Grund and his team are all strong men, and they can’t fight for a long time wearing this heavy equipment. Fortunately, they rush into the enemy’s line, regardless of the gender of the enemy. , how difficult it is to be killed by a single tiger overnight.

This is the signal for an all-out attack!

Arik was so excited that he held up the bleeding sword and commanded: “Brothers! Fight freely! Go to their manor and take everything you want!”

The fierce sword and shield hand dismantled the shield wall in an instant, and the battle that showed personal bravery began.

The last Pine Needle Manor fighters were at a disadvantage in all aspects. They were killed like melons and vegetables, and the violent Ross people would not spare the enemy just because the enemy was a woman.

Because the Duke ordered that the rebels and their families be killed!

The Pine Needle Manor has come to an end, because the Ross army has rushed into the manor, and the old, weak, women and children who have completely lost their resistance are facing a catastrophe.

Poor Vadim, he and a dozen of his last cronies withdrew to the manor first, the army had already launched an attack, and the brothers all advised this “Prince of Novgorod” for the sake of the overall situation, that he should not Going to be a pawn in battle and dying in vain.

This group of people were all waiting, they were full of expectations that the assembled land forces could defeat the enemy by force, but they collapsed in a very short time.

The Ross people are about to storm the manor!

Heartbroken, Vadim pulled out the arrow on his arm, covered the bleeding wound and ran to the mansion first, pulled his pregnant wife away, and also ordered the five new concubines to escape for their lives.

The dozen or so people had already fled to the northern edge of the manor, and after passing through a lush oat field, there was a dense fir forest. It would be safe to hide in the forest.

But at this moment, Vadim’s wife had a tendency to have a miscarriage due to strenuous exercise?

The young woman fell, clutching her stomach and screaming.

“Go! If you don’t leave, we will all die!” Vadim tried to pull his wife away, but…

As if the shark smelled blood, a small group of soldiers from the firing squad of the First Banner Squad, when they were ordered to attack in an all-out manner, ran at full speed with their wound crossbows in their hands.

Someone happened to see Vadim’s brightly dressed image, and this group of people, like a bear hunting team, was determined to capture or kill the guy himself in order to receive the reward.

They had already entered the farm, and they had no intention of doing anything to women and children. They aimed directly at Vadim’s group who had given up everything and fled with all their strength.

Arrows swished, and one of Vadim’s two companions was unluckily shot in the neck, and the other had his entire ear ripped off by the arrows on the spot.

The blows continued.

Suddenly, Vadim saw with his own eyes that his first wife was spitting out blood and looking at him with a look of extreme despair.

“You… run away…”

After the woman finished speaking, she collapsed in the wheat field as if she had completely died of breath.

“Do not!!!”

Vadim yelled and burst into tears on the spot. A person who wanted to persuade the boss to leave quickly was shot through the whole eye by an arrow in front of him…

】

The gust of wind driven by the arrow blew his face, and Vadim watched his good friend die in front of his eyes.

He panicked, and he no longer cared about moral integrity, even ignoring the pain of the arrow wound on his left arm.

He left Fa’s wife, who was shot in the back and might be able to be rescued, and a few brothers who were moaning from the arrow, and fled into the forest with others.

Vadim, when he fled into the woods, cut his homeland, his pine needle farm.

So far began his escape and revenge.

But now, he had to flee with his life, even if he lost some status.

He became a completely bereaved dog, and entered the forest to face the unknown future.

He didn’t know if he was bear food, if he died of starvation or if his wounds were oozing pus.

He didn’t dare to commit suicide, and he didn’t want to be caught by Rose.

Those arrogant words before the battle, and humiliating the opponent with the dead head of the Ross people, turned into just the price of annihilating the entire army?

He knew what his dead father said. For those who committed the most heinous crimes, the Ross people’s method was to hang them up as blood eagles.

What is a blood eagle?

Vadim can think that even if it is death, he doesn’t want to die tragically in the form of a blood eagle!

But he escaped. For the entire Slavic society of Lake Ilmen, the self-proclaimed Duke “Vadim of Novgorod”, his political life has ended with the destruction of the manor and his own escape.

Maybe, so it is.

At least for now, Rurik’s Ross army has completely entered Pine Needle Manor.

Now, everyone is doing evil. Seeing the corpses all over the ground, Rurik’s eyes widened, his conscience hurts a little, and now he finds that the situation is unstoppable.

The Ross, Balmerks, Ostara, and other Vikings, as well as the Slavic Banner Warriors from this lake area, more than two thousand people started the most brutal looting and killing.

At this crazy moment, the follow-up troops of the three manors of Baishu, Calf, and Fisherman who came on foot also joined this barbaric feast. Thanks to the clear marks on these latecomers, they avoided accidentally injuring Oolong.

In troubled times, Liwei can control the situation in a very short time, and then Lide eases the conflict.

Rurik knew exactly what he had ordered, and his conscience ached, but he was already a king.

He didn’t order to stop, acquiescing was to condone the killing of the army.

He simply turned his back and pretended that he could not see or hear.

Because the rebel leader and his family members will be gone, and other manors who see the fierce and ruthless Ross people will fear the horror of the Ross army, and the entire Slavic community in Lake Ilmen will enter a state of peace under the deterrence of the Ross army. More peaceful than ever.

Only when the situation is completely stabilized and the intentional rebels in other manors are found out and killed, the rest is naturally to give some carrots to appease the people.

“Ivan the Terrible is that crazy! Yes, Ivan the Terrible is my descendant…”

Rurik couldn’t laugh. He discovered the brutal side of his soul. Obviously, this cruelty was bound to the Rurik family.

This cruelty will be inherited by descendants and will be born in the name of Lei Di.
