Rise of Rurik - Chapter 793

[Chapter 794 Intense and Unequal Exchange of Opinions]

How to fight?

What is tactics?

The people of Ludi have no concept of these advanced things, and what they think of as fighting is basically fighting with weapons. It is said that they have gathered almost all the men who can fight, but they only gathered more than 300 men.

If they hadn’t learned that wars could rob treasures, they wouldn’t have the great enthusiasm they have now.

The Ludi people really mixed with a small group of Karelian exiles. More than three hundred tribe warriors in buckskins walked out of the village and lifted them into a black mass on the ice.

They were jumping and jumping with great emotion, and likewise, the Ross people in the distance gave up their illusions.

The crossbow and torsion slingshot are charged, and the Ross hunter with a short wooden bow is also ready.

Although they were few in number, they had already put on chain mail under their fur coats.

Everyone’s positions are slightly dispersed, although they are all holding bows and crossbows now, and shields and swords are placed by their side so that they can switch weapons immediately.

This is a bear hunting team with iron armor. They are supposed to deal with powerful bears. Wearing chain mail to hunt, there is a higher probability of saving their lives from the bear’s paw in a critical moment.

Obviously these weapons are perfect for small-scale conflicts.

I don’t know which guy started it, and the Ludi people who were ready to go suddenly acted collectively.

The barbarian’s method of warfare is that there is no method of warfare, and this wolf rushes towards the Ross hunter.

Look at the two hunters with torsion slingshots, they shouted one after another: “Fire now?”

“Wait a minute! Get closer and hit.” The half-kneeling leader said calmly.

“Attention! We only have one chance.”

“That’s also included in the fight!”

The so-called release by the leader means to put this group of tribal people within reach of a short wooden bow.

“Now, bow throw!”

A few swords immediately flew towards the enemy’s formation, hitting the enemy with a beautiful parabola, but the combat effect was too vague.

The bow-wielding Rose hunter continued to output, and it was finally the crossbow’s turn to shoot!

The javelins fired by the two torsion slingshots hit two people one after another, and the soldiers with crossbows also hit them one after another.

The person hit by the arrow fell directly, causing the successors to trample on it, and it also surprised the front row people who had escaped.

The Ludi people watched their relatives being shot and killed by despicable outsiders. Compared with sudden rage, what they were mobilized was fear.

Hesitating out of fear, some tribal warriors retreated lazily.

The Ludi people still kept sprinting, that is, running on the ice. Even though their simple leather boots were non-slip, the overall speed was not fast.

The Ross hunters took advantage of the opportunity, and took advantage of the opportunity to recharge the crossbow. Facing the arrows that the opponent started to shoot, they were not afraid of danger and rewarded another round of precise shooting.

There is no possibility of a third round of shooting!

The hunters threw their crossbows one after another. They saw the appearance of the enemy clearly, and looked down on this group of people from the bottom of their hearts.

A group of people with braided hair and dirty faces dare to fight with simple weapons, let’s just call it brave!

It was the bravery of the Ludi people that made Supervisor Ross Hunter give up his plan to retreat tactically, and instead used shield and sword to fight against them.

“Odin is watching! Organize a shield wall!” The boss gave an order, and the old guys immediately gathered together to form a single row of arc-shaped shields.

Of course, after two rounds of shooting, the soldiers of Ludi have been shaken. Only 30% of the troops who really rush to the front line and can fight hand-to-hand with the Ross people are the most courageous.

Many other people were actually pulling away the wounded, or retreated directly.

The zero-distance combat has already begun. This is a battle of steel swords and steel axes against bone spears. One side has chain mail and shield body protection, and the other side only has buckskin.

The Ross steel sword focuses on assassination. The sharp edge of the sword easily pierces the waist and abdomen of the enemy, and the bloodletting tank immediately causes fatal injuries.

The vast majority of Ludi warriors had never participated in battles before. This was the first time they took up arms to fight another group of humans. Naturally, it was completely different from cooperative hunting.

They thought highly of themselves, and when they realized that many people had died, they dropped their weapons and ran away.

Even the Karelian exiles with the strongest fighting voice, this group of guys all carried iron weapons, but it was a complete joke under the armament of Ross hunters.

Although the shield wall made up of twenty people is weak, it is not easy for a hundred short tribesmen to break through.

There were more than 20 corpses added to the ice, and the rest had given up fighting.

“Hey! Idiots continue to kill us, I saw your backs! A group of cowards! A group of natural slaves!” The head of the Ross hunter yelled in Norse, but the other party couldn’t understand them at all. All they had to do was Just run for your life.

The mass panic brought about the total collapse of Lu Di’s army. They fled to their village. The men returned in shock and called on the women to take their children and run away.

For a moment, the village fell into great chaos, with the cries of women and children everywhere, and the roar of reindeer who were violently pulled out of their pens.

The elderly female leader tried to stabilize the mood of the people, but unfortunately even the leader’s words were not effective in the face of disaster.

Could it be that the Ross hunter team really rushed into the village and killed them wantonly?

If the hunters can fully realize that this group of tribal people is really unbearable, they will naturally rush in to search and kill.

The battle was so smooth, it was as smooth as a trap ahead.

The Ross hunter is determined to stay outside the village, watching the development of the situation like a fierce beast.

The old female leader finally realized that there was nothing she could do. The Ross messenger who had been controlled was very likely to be the mediator to avoid the war.

The wooden cage that originally held the small animals was opened.

“What? Are you going to kill me? You are looking for your own death!”

The female leader sat down directly and pleaded with Ross’s messenger: “Your hunters are too powerful, we dare not! We dare not fight anymore, please let them calm down.”

“…” The messenger looked puzzled, and he calmed down a little, only to realize that the hunters had fought with the Ludi people, and the few Ross people easily won the victory.

This kind of victory really shocked the messenger. There is no doubt that the Ross people are strong, but this group of Ludi people are too weak.

The messenger had a plan and shouted: “You have to pay the price for killing our people. Those Karelian exiles hope to use the hands of the Rus to destroy you. It is too late to choose to surrender, otherwise the Rus army will arrive You all die.”

The female leader was already frightened, and this nodding was like a joke.

Even now, the messenger has ignored life and death, and simply ordered through the authority of the Ross army: “Now, you can only appease the anger of the Ross people if you capture all the Karelians in exile and execute the warmakers.”

“Ah!? As long as I do it, you will be able to withdraw troops?”

“Yes, but… depends on your sincerity.”

The female leader nodded, she already knew what to do.

She accepted the envoy as the guest of honor, and immediately found a young woman from the tribe to serve him.

She also appealed to the people who were busy fleeing to settle down, find out all the fleeing Karelians, men and women, and make amends to the Rus.

The released messenger finally returned to the ice surface. When he saw a pile of corpses and thick blood stains on the ice surface, he could imagine the terrible killing on the other side.

He returned nervously and was immediately questioned.

The hunters were not surprised by the living conditions of the Ludi people, but…

The hunter leader thought it was an excuse: “Is it all because of the provocation of the remnants of Karelia? I think the Ludi people chose the war themselves.”

The messenger couldn’t bear to kill: “Their female leader doesn’t want to fight anymore, and is willing to apologize.”

“Apology? Compensation for what?”

“Some venison, and . . . women.”

“Women? Brothers really can’t touch women outside, but they are all a group of dwarves. Do you guarantee that this is not a conspiracy?”

“This…” The messenger thought about it, and asked again: “Boss, what do you think?”

“Hey, someone dares to attack us. It turns out that the legendary Ludi people are them. You go again and let their leader come to the ice to negotiate in person. I am not a fool, I will not enter the village.”

The messenger nodded, even if Chief Lu Di showed his sincerity, what if they suddenly turned back?

The messenger ran again and ordered the female leader to take all the captured Karelian exiles to make an apology to the hunter.

An old woman holding a wooden staff is the female leader. She finally saw the legendary Ross people. Those legends are basically true, and they are really tall existences.

Moreover, she saw that everyone in Ross was wearing bear skins. They actually killed a large number of bears. The ferocious bear heads were immediately displayed, and there were layers of bear skins on the sled.

This is a small bear hunting team, wouldn’t it be more…

The clansman who died on the ground is distressing, but Ross Hunter is unscathed.

An old woman declares her surrender, but is surrender a verbal thing?

Facing a group of Karelians, the Bruins immediately moved to kill.

The leader ordered in Norse language: “Leave the young woman, and others will kill. The method must be clean and neat, and show the Ludi people how powerful we are.”

A large number of Ludi people watched from a distance, and then they saw the Ross people in bear skins performing murder!

The horrific scene caused many people to faint, and the female leader who was on the front line really saw why the head was rolling.

Those exiles who fought in the main battle certainly had a reason for revenge, but now they are all dead.

The female leader sitting paralyzed on the ice asked tremblingly: “In this way, you can let us go?”

“Don’t be stupid!” The leader of the bear hunting team said proudly: “You have been conquered by Ross! Give me fifty women! Take out two hundred deer! Especially you, follow us to New Roseburg, you You must submit to our prince face to face!”

“Ah!” The female leader was taken aback, “Didn’t it be agreed that you don’t need to have women?”

The messenger didn’t translate this sentence honestly, so he explained it casually: “This is a one-time event. If you hand over the woman this time, you won’t be exempted from it in the future.”

“However, our whole clan can’t produce so many women.”

The female leader’s explanation made sense, but the hunters took it as one of the proofs of non-cooperation.

The leader of the bear hunters played with his sword, and the female leader could not understand Norse, nor did she know the wrath of the conqueror.

The bear hunting team simply set up camp on the ice, and all the dead bodies were captured by the Ludi people.

That night, the bear hunting team enjoyed the service of the captured Karelian women in the camp. According to the plan of the leader, these women would be placed in the fortress of the town of sacrifice to serve as slaves.

As for the women handed over by the Ludi people, they were all sold directly to Prince Rurik as slaves. According to his thinking, a woman should be able to sell for a pound of silver coins, provided that she remains pure, which is better than selling bear skins. Make money and be safe.

The bear hunting team gave the Ludi people only one night to prepare. Once the deadline was exceeded, the bear hunting team would withdraw, but the next time it would be the Ross army.

The clans had no choice but to reluctantly hand over the young girls.

A tribe of more than a thousand people took out almost half of the girls in the tribe to appease the Ross people.

The female leader had no other choice. She decided to personally apologize to the leader of the Ross people, hoping that her obedience would save the entire tribe.

The next morning, when the sun rose, the matriarch went herself, and fifty more weeping maidens made their way to the ice camp of the Ross.

The girls were frightened when they came, because those Ross people were giants at all.

There are also a few naked Karelian women wrapped in leather, gnawing on dried meat with dull eyes, like “meat-eating corpses”.

All the Ludi people gathered by the frozen lake outside the village. They watched as part of their deer was given to the Ross people for free, as well as those tribal women whose future was unknown.

They buried the war dead overnight, and the Ludi people who were hit hard one after another had their spines broken by a mere twenty Ross hunters.

The clan leader is already dead as the female leader, and they are electing a new leader. As for the future, is it really to accept the control of the Ross people?

Everything is unknown.

But it is not advisable to continue to flee!

The east and south are the western control area of the Perm people and the remnants of Karelia. They are all wary of the Ludi people to grab living space.

To the west is the Great Lake, and on the other side of the lake is the area controlled by the Ross people.

or north?

That’s even more undesirable, the bear hunter rushed down from the northern stronghold!

There is no escape for the Ludi people!

The clan leaders are praying, hoping that the departure of the female leader can be exchanged for the kindness of the leader of Ross, just as the messenger described.

There was no longer any need for bear hunting, so the bear hunting team asked the Ludi people to take out a batch of sleds and connect them with Ross’s sledges with cables.

Now there is no need to tie up the dwarf-like Ludi girl, and even the old lady who “pleads guilty” is completely free.

They were authorized to wrap directly in reverse the peeled bear skin and keep warm with animal fur, which was too frightening.

The reindeer sleigh and the free reindeer herd headed north all the way, and the whole team lived on roasting and eating frozen bear meat.

They arrived at the bear festival town without any problems, and the local female leader knew it-the lakeside ritual center of the Karelian people.

“Where did the Karelians go?” she asked.

The bear hunter replied that they were all killed.

Bear Festival revived in another way, living here with a group of Rus, immigrants from other Viking tribes, and a group of Suomi.

The Suomi people, who had a feud with Karelia, stood here, and they also began to breed reindeer. Bear Festival Town has become a hunting, grazing, and fishing base for more than 300 people.

For the first time, the uncontested Ludi people saw the Viking longship being pushed ashore and saw a large number of frozen fish placed on the ice.

At the same time, the female leader realized that the bear hunting team that attacked the village was really common in Ross society. There are forts here, there are men and women, and they are almost all hunters.

She knows the basic situation of the Suomi people, the legend is true, she saw the short Suomi people talking and laughing happily with the blond Rus people!

The discovery of the Ludi village by the bear hunting team immediately caused a sensation. The returning people were afraid that other brothers would form a group to destroy the village, so they hurriedly held a Nordic meeting and announced in the indoor meeting place that the Ludi people had declared their surrender to the prince, and now they are attacking without authorization. It is disobedience to the monarch.

As a result of this warning, the eager Ross people gave up.

When the female leader Lu Di learned of this situation, she didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

She was at least thankful for her surrender at the critical moment, otherwise Lauros’ main force would have crossed the frozen lake to hack people, and the guys close to this fortress would be enough to destroy Lu Di.

They took a short break in Bear Festival Town, then walked a large circle counterclockwise along the lake shoreline, arrived at Vipsarawa, and took a rest in the village of Vips.

The female leader had met the old Vipus female leader, and the two old sisters explained the situation to each other, which completely confirmed the attitude of Chief Lu Di to surrender.

She saw that the Vips raised the Rus flag, tantamount to saying that they had become Rus people.

Joining Rus is not a slave, and one who is loyal to the prince of Rus is a Rus. In the future, sending people to participate in wars is just a formality.

She also knew that the huge population of Suomi people surrendered to their families, all Suomi people could move freely in the huge Principality of Ross, and there were also a large number of Suomi people in the Ross army.

Look at the men of the Vipus tribe, they are fully armed with iron weapons, and they have better bows and arrows.

Obviously, the Vips have the smallest population, but their combat power has become stronger.

More than that?

The female leader noticed that there were a large number of babies in this small tribe, which was very abnormal. Didn’t their children die in large numbers?

Is this what the messenger said that surrendering to Ross will lead to prosperity?

The Ludi people want to enjoy this prosperity too!
