The war broke out!

The development of the situation simply cannot tolerate Mechasta, the leader of the Grey Squirrel tribe, to hesitate. Although he thinks the enemy's appearance is very strange, the guys who charge first have a strong sense of deja vu.

But they launched a storm, and their own people must beat them back.

"All hunters are ready! All go up to the wooden wall, draw bows and shoot arrows!" Mezzasta greeted with all his might, his people with a nervous heart, holding a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, stepped onto the wall one after another. Scaffolding.

Mezzasta looked around, and immediately ordered the free release of arrows.

At the same time, he also signaled to his youngest son Telavis, who was hiding in the rudimentary tower, and asked him to show his strength.

On the other hand, Kehas, who led his troops to the old enemy village, was shocked that his opponent had reinforced the wall. Looking at the sloping snow slope, he was a little worried that his attack would be frustrated. With a large number of Ross fighters behind him, he knew he couldn't hold back.

Kaihas didn't say anything inspiring, he roared with a big mouth, and he mixed with the team of the tribe with his left shield and right sword.

Finally, the expected blow came!

The gray squirrel tribe had organized more than one hundred archers. There were as many as seventy people standing on the wall and thirty people under the wall.

The arrows began to throw a lot, and the energy bonus of the gravitational potential energy was obtained, and the falling bone arrows also had a good lethality.

The tribal warrior of the Salmon Lord who had started the attack was beaten through the thick leather jackets they wore. Because the wound was very shallow, the wounded still held the short spear and screamed at the impact.

Several other poor men became utterly unlucky, and it so happened that the falling arrows hit their necks.

A momentary major injury directly caused the three soldiers to the end. They were vomiting blood in pain, and their difficult moans were drowned in the charge of the tribe.

I saw that many members of the tribe were injured, and I saw many arrows flying towards me.

After blocking a few arrows with a wooden shield, Kaijas shouted: "Brothers, don't be afraid! Let's rush, climb up the city wall and wipe out all the hateful squirrels!"

This roar was heard by Mezzasta on the wall.

"What's the matter? Are they..." Seeing the strangely dressed people standing not far behind this group of yelling guys, Mezzasta believed that it was not just the Varangans who attacked him, but also Those theoretical kinsmen of the Salmon Lord who are the servants.

The more he thought about it, the more sure Mezzasta was.

"Brothers! It was the Salmon who attacked us. They became the hounds of the Varangans. They are a bunch of mad dogs. We must shoot them!"

Whenever the tribe of Salmon Lords is mentioned, the anger of the tribe of Grey Squirrels is ignited.

Everyone was still very nervous, after all, everyone had never seen the huge battle of today in their entire lives.

Even if it is as simple as an army of more than 300 people attacking a small village.

For them, it is tantamount to a huge war.

More and more warriors of the Salmon Lord tribe were hitting arrows, and some of the wounded began to sit down, gritting their teeth and trying to pull out the barbed arrows.

Others have actually tried to retreat and fled beyond the opponent's bow and arrow range.

In the chaos, Kaihas kept advancing with difficulty. He saw that his tribe had become a little weak in the impact of the enemy's more and more powerful shooting. He covered his vital torso with a wooden shield, holding high the iron sword inherited from his ancestors, in order to lead all the brave to continue to charge.

However, at least twenty people fell from the arrow. They did not die, they just huddled in the snow and wailed.

Beside them, a large number of arrows were inserted terribly.

Finally, looking at the "Squirrel Guy" half-hidden archer, and even the arrow shot from the tower, the morale of more people collapsed like this!

At first, some people chose to flee, even the man who was supposed to watch the ladder rush to the front line, some people simply let go and ran back.

There is nothing wrong with them avoiding bows and arrows, but Otto's anger was angered by this action.

A big hand is always on Rurik's shoulder.

The current Rurik witnessed the real battle. The feet in his boots ooze cold sweat unconsciously, and his eyes opened wide. For a while, he was not thinking about the strategy of attacking the city, but was really appreciating the game. The real ancient siege.

Is it wonderful? Do not! The war is not so exciting, but it is adrenaline-filled.

Seeing that the guy who was sent out to attack the city actually retreated, Rurik clearly felt that his shoulder blades were about to be crushed by his furious father.

"Dad...they, are... at large?" Ruriek asked weakly.

"Damn Kejas, that guy has failed our trust. Rurik!" Otto ordered.

"in!"

"Now, it's your time to prove yourself."

"Ah?! Did you let me lead someone to attack?!" Rurik was taken aback.

Otto released his hand, then directly pushed his son abruptly, and then solemnly ordered: "Take your mercenaries and use a crossbow to shoot the escaped! Remember, the traitor is not worthy to live."

Although it felt cruel, Rurik knew that nothing was more important than military spirit at this moment.

Executing a few deserters and ordering the rest to continue rushing is the right way.

Rurik held his breath and pointed his little finger at the mercenaries standing in the line.

The mercenaries were all led by Jeflo and separated from the town of the Russian army.

Two hundred pairs of terrifying eyes looked at the twenty people who left the team, including Rurik, and everyone was paying attention to all the actions of the future leader Rurik. Even waiting for the command of the big leader, although it is to slash the fleeing servants.

Rurik invited Yevlo to whisper a few words, and then he simply picked up a crossbow with an arrow on himself, and for the time being as a captain, he lined up the team, just like organizing a firing squad.

Only Jeflo took the lead in roaring in Old Finnish: Don’t retreat! Hurry back and fight! Otherwise you will be wiped out! "

Perhaps this roar was submerged in the lament of fleeing, and the excitement of the enemy not far away, and the killing in the drum with the shaman.

Liu Rick's face is stubborn, he has no hesitation anymore.

"Crossbowman!"

"Raise the bow! Launch!"

At an order, twenty arrows were fired, including Rurik, and six routers were hit immediately. The so-called hit here is no different from shooting.

The kind of people who had been hit by crossbow arrows at close range fell to the ground one after another, violently twitching several times and then completely motionless, and the snow under them quickly became Yin Hong.

Did not die by the opponent, but was easily killed by the Ruth who supervised the war.

At this moment, all the fleeing Salmon Lord tribesmen were stunned on the spot. They remembered the scene when they were defeated. In fact, they didn't have much sense of humiliation of defeat, and some were shocked by the sudden and inexplicable death.

Taking advantage of the gap in the hand of the crossbow, Jeflo shouted loudly; "Keep on attacking! The retreat will be killed!"

The attitude of the Ross people was serious, and the fleeing people turned around in panic and continued to rush towards the enemy's wall.

At this moment, Kaihas noticed the scene of his tribe being sanctioned, and he fought hard to call out: "Don't retreat!"

It's not that Kejas's appeal is useful, but everyone knows that the Ross people do what they say. Their minds went blank, and they started a mechanical charge, and even the arrows that hit the enemy's body no longer felt pain. In their opinion, there is nothing more terrible than a crossbow arrow hit by the Ross people.

On the other hand, Mechasta, the leader of the Grey Squirrel tribe, already felt that his archer had done a good job, and the enemy was repelled by the bow and arrow? He had to think about the previous imagination of the tribesmen, the so-called group of enemy laborers expedition, they may be powerful, by now it is the end of the force.

However, the enemy made a comeback, and look at this momentum even more triumphant.

"Damn! They're here again. Men with spears, all go to the wall!"

Metzasta saw the enemy carrying a ladder and knew that they wanted to use it to climb the ice wall. The ice wall was built deliberately to prevent the enemy from climbing, and the sudden appearance of the child made Mezzasta anxiously talking about his mistakes.

The archers are still serious, they are condescending, and as the enemy gets closer, their ability to accurately shoot squirrels can finally come in handy.

More Salmon Lord tribal warriors were hit by arrows, and they paid another batch of casualties, and finally touched the enemy's ice wall.

Kaihas held the shield rewarded by the Ross people to protect his torso and head. He roared hoarsely and ordered the people to erect the ladder.

More fighters decided to climb the sloping snow **** directly, but they just started to try, only to realize that this is actually slippery ice!

Someone tried to climb with a stone manuscript. Such a person was shot in the eye and neck by the sudden shot of the bow, and the person was killed on the spot. There are many other people who already have a large number of small wounds on their bodies, and their arrows are hung on their leather jackets. What is crazy is that some people have more than a dozen arrows on their bodies.

Even Kejas's shield, he felt shocking. Because near the handle behind the shield, there were three clusters of iron arrows that had penetrated halfway.

In a panic, he had no time to panic. He stood under the sloping ice wall and ordered the soldiers to climb the erected ladder.

Some brave men began to climb, while others held their short bows and used firepower to suppress the enemies on the wall.

From the very beginning, the tribesmen of the Salmon Lord released their bows and arrows when they charged. Due to the small number of arrows launched and no clear targets, the tribe of gray squirrels had almost no casualties.

As the archers of both sides began to shoot at close range, both sides could see their eyes and faces clearly, and the battle really became fierce.

At the beginning, gray squirrel tribe warriors hit arrows and stumbled down from the scaffolding behind the wall. There are more and more people like this.

Mezzasta looked worried, and he hurriedly ordered the reserve fighters to climb up to make up for the lack.

Now that Mezzasta can be happy, nothing is more effective than his own measures. Today, the gates of the village walls are blocked by various heavy debris. The enemy has no means to enter through the front gate, and they are also unable to directly climb the ice wall. They can only rely on four very long ladders.

Because there are only four breakthrough tools, guarding seems to be easier for the defenders.

Many climbing fighters were directly stabbed to death by short spears, which made those who intend to continue climbing fearful. In addition, from time to time, stones were thrown down, or rolled down along the ice wall, and the stones broke the legs of other people, or were directly smashed into heads. The scene was in a mess.

There were fatal wounds on the bodies of the dead, and some people who had fallen into death quickly piled up under the ice wall, and the blood flowing out also vaporized a terrifying mist.

The battlefield became terrible. In today's scene, both fighters of the two sides of the battle have met each other for the first time.

In the chaos, Mezzasta finally saw the face of the man with the strange patterned wooden shield.

"Damn it! It's definitely you! Kaihas, take your life!" After roaring, Mezzasta controlled the bow with iron arrows.

Kaijas vaguely heard someone yelling at his name, his eyes flicked, and he saw someone aiming at him.

A conditioned reflex block, he resisted the shot of the iron cluster arrow that was less than ten meters away.

The cluster of arrows penetrates the wooden shield as a whole, and if it advances a little bit, it can blind its own eyes.

Kaijas was almost paralyzed with fright. He thought of retreating, but he hesitated when he thought of the people who had just been shot.

He was tormented in hesitation, and his people were also doing an obviously futile attack.

Kaihas didn't understand. Does his new master want everyone to die? Also, when did the Grey Squirrel Tribe be able to fight like this? Are they not a group of cowards who can only passively defend? Is it right for a coward to become a warrior? !

The reality is that for the brave Salmon Lord tribe, perhaps everyone’s courage has long been lost, and the rest are cowards.

As more and more tribesmen are killed by the squirrel guys, the tribes who are still alive and continue to fight, their spirits are about to collapse.

"Chief! We'll be dead if this continues!" A tribal warrior with an arrow hung on a leather jacket rushed to Kaihas.

Suddenly, Kejas saw the man stiff, and then he collapsed to the ground.

An arrow pierced the back of the warrior's head. The owner of this iron cluster arrow was no one else, but Telavis, who was only ten years old.

This kid is like a sniper, in fact what he is doing now is the job of sniper.

Telavis shot at least three people accurately. With confidence in his own ability, he specialized in shooting the enemy's vital points, especially the neck where the great blood vessels were located.

The arrow directly destroyed the back of the person's head, and the whole person died instantly in a sudden freeze.

The tribe warrior died in front of him, and Kaihas's spirit finally broke down.

"Brothers! Let's withdraw! Let everything go to hell!"

Kaihas had nothing to care about, he turned around urgently and began to take the lead in evacuation. The rest or the tribal warriors of the Salmon Lord also chose to retreat and abandon the ladder directly.

Suddenly, an arrow struck Kejas's back.

He really slammed a somersault, and then covered his ears with a heart-piercing wailing.

Because he suddenly saw that right beside him, an ear was hung from a cluster of iron arrows, which was undoubtedly his ear.

In grief and anger, he grabbed the arrow and continued to flee with his ears covered, even forgetting the shield rewarded by the Ross people.

Kaihas, what he will never forget is the iron sword he inherited.

Facing the total collapse of the Salmon Lord tribe, Rurik's eyelids trembled.

After all, according to the agreement, the retreat died without authorization.

Rurik glanced at his dignified father Otto with some embarrassment, then turned his head back.

Regardless of Otto's thoughts, in the midst of war, Rurik decided to carry out his responsibilities ruthlessly.

Yevlo shouted as usual: "Don't retreat! The traitor must die!"

But in the face of a complete collapse, Jeflo's roar was meaningless.

Rurik was also serious in his eyes. UU read www.uukanshu.com and he took the lead in lifting the crossbow with great force and commanded: "Crossbowman! Lift the bow!"

Upon seeing this, all the tribal warriors of the fleeing Salmon Lord were stunned, but Kaihas paid no attention to anything.

The appearance of Kejas with blood on his face surprised Otto. Then, Otto watched his fellow continue to retreat with a sharply reduced number of people.

"Prepare!" Rurik had already extended the tone, and when the well-trained crossbowman was about to pull the trigger, Otto roared, as if a bear screamed through the silence of the mountain forest.

"The mercenaries withdrew the team! They are not allowed to shoot them!"

Rurik let out a long sigh of relief. After all, he didn't want to destroy his servants on a large scale. The mercenaries received the crossbow. Upon seeing this, the surviving warriors of the Salmon Lord tribe collapsed in Ross. Human front. Their embarrassed appearance simply caused many Ross fighters to spit or insult.

It can be said that up to now, a fortified battle has ended in the defeat of the Rus coalition forces. Of course, the Rus have never thought so. Only the people of the Grey Squirrel tribe felt that they had won the first battle.
