, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!
Every newly launched ship should have matching armaments, and Lurik gave the carpenter of his family a more demanding task, so that each ship can be equipped with a sufficient amount of torsion slingshot to deal with naval battles.
Maybe he can based on the actual situation, not committing too much weaponry to the ships.
The standard armament of the Russ navy ship is equipped with a large amount of torsion slingshot equipment, while the enemies Russ face are still widely equipped with traditional long rowing boats, and even the two sides have different concepts for naval battles.
All of this was Rurik's request, and the failure to install bronze guns on the ship was already his most cost-effective consideration.
Regarding the mill of Asraki, Rurik was really moved. After leaving here, he immediately reviewed the armed production of the woodworkers.
The torsion slingshot that was originally placed in the warehouse was moved out.
In order to ensure the best state of the battle, all new slingshots have no winding. The two carbon steel arms of the slingshot are inserted into the rope group, and they move forward in unison.
Now that Rurik gave the order, the woodworkers worked hard to bend the bow arms and buckle the bowstrings made of hemp rope, tendons and even whale baleen.
Are they all top quality?
No problem, only one experiment is required.
If the weapon is not easy to use in battle, the result is often deadly. Rurik treated the weapon handover very carefully, and the best way to test it was to load a cast iron projectile and shoot it at the target.
Simple wooden boards are pieced together to create a target, and each new torsion slingshot shoots at it one by one.
The sound they fired is soft and soft, and because they are firmly fixed, the shooter naturally cannot detect the recoil of the slingshot, and even the vibration is minimal.
The projectiles hit the target frequently, and for a time there was a clear and loud crashing sound from the target, and all the onlookers saw the sawdust flying horizontally!
The thickness of these oak boards is similar to that of ordinary long ship boards, and they can be shattered by shooting at close range, and they can be used in battle to sink enemy ships.
As many as twenty-nine new torque slingshots were off the production line, so the number basically met Rurik's expectation. Although the number is slightly lower, he has no intention of pursuing it.
The war is imminent, the new ships and new weapons can already be put into battle in this way, and the strength of the Ross army has been strengthened.
In addition to aiming at a flat-fire torsion slingshot, a bull trebuchet with a longer range, poor accuracy, and only probabilistic strikes, this group of woodworkers have built fifteen.
They were tied with ropes and pulled out hard for the carpenter.
The weight of each trebuchet is not large, which causes the end to be lifted by inertia when shooting, like a bull.
It is undeniable that as long as they are hit and used and dozens of fist-sized pebbles are fired at a time, they will be able to cause range damage, which is really a weapon to kill the enemy in the array.
No, the proof of their strength is to open the matrix and shoot at an open fjord sea area.
The old and new trebuchets were arranged together in the afternoon, and thousands of people gathered on the beach.
Lord Rurik tested the weapons before the expedition. Whether the army's heavy weapons work well or not is the most concerned of the soldiers who are desperately waiting for the expedition. As for the large number of onlookers holding children, women are purely watching the excitement and dismissing the boring work of daily handwork.
After all the trebuchets are fully charged, an operator is holding on to the rope inserted in the pin of the ratchet, just waiting for the adult's order.
With an order from Rurik, the twenty-five bulls are the old man!
The stone bullets were thrown out almost at the same time. The black figure of the stone was hidden by the dark green pine forest in the setting sun. Onlookers squinted and couldn't see the result, but soon the rippling sleep caused a splash of water.
It was stone bullets. They smashed towering water splashes at a faraway point, and people heard the roar of water splashes in their ears.
"Very good, the new and old catapults have different landing points. It is a perfect probability attack."
Hit the fist-sized stone bullet to 300 meters away. This is the strength of the bull trebuchet. Rurik had to estimate that if the Karelians were also bravely gathered in a group and charged, their trebuchet matrix might be able to destroy half of their morale?
It is a pity that I have the ability to build a more powerful trebuchet. This really needs to be based on actual needs and make more such light and heavy weapons.
That night, the torsion slingshot began to be installed on the two new ships, "Grey Squirrel" and "Salmon Chief". It was still the old rule. Each ship had six on the bow deck and four on the stern deck.
Simultaneously with the loading of weapons, it is to further carry wheat, dried fish, and even some special things to the cabin.
Young green pine needles and the first Nordic daisies to bloom. Boiled pine needle water for drinking, uses the fragrance and faint bitterness to dissipate the muddy smell of natural water. Every Viking tribe has this habit. It is not tea drinking, but Rurik deliberately allowed this tradition to evolve directly into tea drinking.
Naturally, tea leaves can never be imagined. The daisy, which is a substitute for tea, can be blooming right now! The ground had just thawed, and these flowers appeared almost overnight.
Perhaps eating whole-wheat bread and bread is enough to meet the vitamin needs of soldiers. While keeping cautious, Rurik prefers to allow them to take in more vitamins, especially the very critical vitamin C. Drinking chrysanthemum tea will definitely solve the intake of the Nordic people. The problem of vitamin difficulties. Although boiled tender pine needles is also an option, boiled chrysanthemum tea tastes good after all.
The agreed date is tomorrow, and all preparations are in order!
Conquering Karelia, this battle is not at all an army rushing over to hack and kill the problem. If that were the case, things would be easier.
That night, Rurik gathered his wives and concubines on the third floor of the palace.
He opened the window and let the cool breeze come in. The moonlight and stars almost covered the beating flame of the oil lamp and shone on every girl's face.
The girls are nervous, and it would be a good thing to be able to follow Liurik on the expedition this time.
So, who will get this opportunity?
Rurik guessed each other's thoughts through their faces, and he let out a sigh of relief: "Time is very tight. Tomorrow is the day of expedition. Now I announce who will go with me."
He stretched out his hand and pointed it at Carlotta and Svetlana very simply.
The tight nerves of the girls were instantly discouraged, and Rurik heard a slight hiss of jealousy.
"I know, you all want to follow me to meet the world. This is a war, not a game! Carlotta will participate in the battle as a fighter. Svetlana!" Rurik deliberately increased his tone. His eyes also glanced at her: "You are the wife my father chose for me, and I will not disobey my father's arrangements. You and I still have a Slavic wedding, and we will do it this year."
"Yes." Svetlana tried to suppress her inner ecstasy. Thanks to the strict education of her parents, she was able to suppress her inner emotions.
She is twelve years old and is married according to Slavic tradition. Besides, it's so beautiful to be able to go back to her family's house with Rurik.
Even Norren can't go to the East again, even if Rose's Warriors Fourth Flag team is all her Balmerks.
Rurik had inadvertently said that a small meeting on the third floor ended soon. He distracted the other wives and concubines, but left the two daughters Carlotta and Lanna to arrange some extra matters.
The agreed date! It's today!
Thousands of people gathered on the beach, and the wooden walls of the city were once again full of people. Thanks to the further reinforcement of the walls, they could carry such weight.
A small altar was temporarily erected on the sandy ground. Although she could not go on an expedition with her beloved man, Lumia knew she must abide by the high priest's mission.
In all fairness, she is very supportive of Rose's conquest of Karelian forces. All the deer breeders are not easy to provoke the Karelians, even if everyone raises deer for a living.
The source of this fear actually comes from hundreds of years ago. The Lapu (deer) people were originally a group of people excluded from the Karelian ethnic group. The Lapu are the humblest existence in this area. Rose's servants followed Master Rurik, and everyone finally got a stable life.
The beach was full of heavily armed fighters, including the newly promoted Fourth Flag team, Captain Helafide Bringoldson and his guys all put on standard Ross jerseys.
The white cloth was sewn with blue stripes on the body, a deer belt was tied around the waist, and the belt was also hung with weapons such as daggers and hand axes. They also carried burlap backpacks with straps on their backs, which were full of cooking utensils, a small amount of dry food, and leather water bags filled with water. A piece of linen cloth was rolled into a roll, and the bending ground was fixed on both sides of the backpack. Finally, a huge round shield hung on the bag.
Only a few of them carry spears, and most of them have swords.
One centurion team was widely equipped with wooden crossbows and also received a small number of arrows allotted.
Hellafeld is the captain of such a flag team. He never dreamed that an army could have such an armed force.
Look at himself! In addition to these weapons distributed by the Duke of Ross, what Hellafeld can get is the iron sword and his own leather helmet that his father gave him.
Now, this leather helmet has been ordered by an adult, that is, a helmet collar made of a large number of wild ducks and wild geese feathers must be installed. The feathers of the helmet collar are all dyed with Isatis indigo, and a large amount of turpentine is glued to further fix it.
"Now, the enemy and my people can clearly see that I am an extraordinary character."
Hellafeld highly praised the arrangement of Rülik. The entire flag team was subdivided into more combat teams. The ranks of officers depended on the number of helmet leader feathers and the installation method. Think about it carefully. This is really the smartest choice. After all, everyone was roaring during the melee. The commander was afraid that it would be difficult to exchange information with other guys even if he broke his throat. Now you can know where the friendly is by looking at the feathers on the top of the friendly.
Not only that, but there is a flag-holder next to Hellafield. This person is holding a wooden pole with ferocious beasts. There is a flag on the pole, and the blue cloth stitched on it is said to be in Roman letters. Text message: The Fourth Flag of the Ross Army Warriors.
The brothers have just changed their outfits this time, and they only look like regular and fierce Ross troops. The team really has the strength of the Rus army, when it needs some training.
Hellafeld is very fortunate, because the captain of each group, that is, the ten-man team, is Rurik’s old mercenary. These people have allowed the brothers to stand up neatly, just like those of the First Banner. The guys are the same.
But, why are there still a group of teenagers standing on this beach?
It was Fisk and Kanuf, and even Telavis unearthed from Elronburg.
Rurik selected a hundred young fighters from his subordinates. They are in their puberty, and their minds are full of ideas for fighting and meritorious service. Their physical fitness is also the same as that of adult men. Compared with their older peers, they have been constantly Received the Roman alphabet, Latin and mathematics education, but the level of education surpassed others.
These young soldiers mixed everything with their other elite mercenaries and Corvins who helped fight, plus those old sailors who manipulated the torsion slingshot, directly pieced together into the shooting flag team.
In this expedition, a team of nearly two thousand people will rush to Fort Shilla on the Neva River!
And this is still part of the army. After the Slavs are in place, Rurik estimates that he can organize an army of more than 3,000 people.
Is it just that? Do not! There is also a large group of Finns who can help.
Those Suomi people who are part of Finland choose to obey very wisely. Just like Rome, Rurik boasted of building a northern Rome, and he had to learn from Rome when he did things, such as conscripting Suomi servants to join the battle, and giving them the spoils after the victory.
Besides, to eliminate the Karelian forces, the long-term threat of the Suomi people is gone?
Lumia wore a antler helmet and sang a hymn to Thor by the flames of the altar.
She and Rumi, and even the other ten little priests, are essentially Rurik's wives and concubines. All the Ross people and the guests know this and are willing to talk about it faithfully.
Thor is not only the **** of craftsmen, but also the **** of war. Today, he first praises and sacrifices for them.
After that, it was another hymn to Odin, and the sacrifices came to the most critical moment.
Rose, who has a herd of deer, no longer has to worry about sacrificial sacrifices. Rurik stared at the raging fire, thinking about whether he could recruit an army of four thousand people, or chat with the leader of Suomi to form a two-pronged coalition. A full-scale attack on the Karelian forces.
Now that it has reached the critical stage of sacrifice, he showed his dagger towards the deer of sacrifice...
The deer's liver was cut out, and Lumia cut the liver and declared to the cheers that the battle would be won.
The victory must belong to Ross, and the soldiers who are ready now begin to line up to board the fleet that has been parked at the trestle and is ready to go!
The Aphrora, the Duke of Ostara, the Grey Squirrel, and the Salmon Chief, the four ships alone packed five hundred people in one go!
There were also the first four of the smaller planetary sail destroyers, which were packed with another four hundred people.
With the success of the last ultra-long-distance sailing expedition, Rurik has indeed learned a lesson from it. He stuffed too many people into the boat in one breath, so that the crew was too crowded, and it was really uncomfortable.
Even the crew of a large ship like the Aphrodite has been reduced a lot, although it is because of the factor that it can't pull too many people, it is also because a lot of military rations and reserve weapons are stuffed in her cabin.
How to place more soldiers? Naturally, those armed cargo ships after transformation.
Four sail cruisers, four sail destroyers and twenty sail armed cargo ships. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
The cheers of the people resounded throughout the fjord. They excitedly watched the invincible fleet slowly leave the trestle bridge, watched the ships assemble into a fleet in the fjord waters, moving against the wind and slowly sailing out of the fjord.
The people have been paying attention, and the decks of the ships are also full of people.
As the captain of the mercenary, Jeflo is qualified to stay on the flagship, and this time he was ordered to bring his wife and even his baby son.
After all, Hermi gave birth to the baby very safely, although the baby was very delicate, and it was very adventurous to take him on sailing. Both Hermi and Yevlo knew the significance of this voyage, only because Yevlo received an important task, which was to go to the Suomi territory to pull out a servant army to assist the Rus in destroying Karelia in the first battle. Ah.
Therefore, as the Earl of Finland, he was anxious to support Ross with the army.
As for the Earl of Finland, this is the baby boy!
Jeflo has given his son a name, and he is called Satuly, which means warrior.

Although the number is slightly lower, he has no intention of pursuing it.The war is imminent, the new ships and new weapons can already be put into battle in this way, and the strength of the Ross army has been strengthened.In addition to aiming at a flat-fire torsion slingshot, a bull trebuchet with a longer range, poor accuracy, and only probabilistic strikes, this group of woodworkers have built fifteen.They were tied with ropes and pulled out hard for the carpenter.The weight of each trebuchet is not large, which causes the end to be lifted by inertia when shooting, like a bull.It is undeniable that as long as they are hit and used and dozens of fist-sized pebbles are fired at a time, they will be able to cause range damage, which is really a weapon to kill the enemy in the array.No, the proof of their strength is to open the matrix and shoot at an open fjord sea area.The old and new trebuchets were arranged together in the afternoon, and thousands of people gathered on the beach.Lord Rurik tested the weapons before the expedition. Whether the army's heavy weapons work well or not is the most concerned of the soldiers who are desperately waiting for the expedition. As for the large number of onlookers holding children, women are purely watching the excitement and dismissing the boring work of daily handwork.After all the trebuchets are fully charged, an operator is holding on to the rope inserted in the pin of the ratchet, just waiting for the adult's order.With an order from Rurik, the twenty-five bulls are the old man!The stone bullets were thrown out almost at the same time. The black figure of the stone was hidden by the dark green pine forest in the setting sun. Onlookers squinted and couldn't see the result, but soon the rippling sleep caused a splash of water.It was stone bullets. They smashed towering water splashes at a faraway point, and people heard the roar of water splashes in their ears."Very good, the new and old catapults have different landing points. It is a perfect probability attack."Hit the fist-sized stone bullet to 300 meters away. This is the strength of the bull trebuchet. Rurik had to estimate that if the Karelians were also bravely gathered in a group and charged, their trebuchet matrix might be able to destroy half of their morale?It is a pity that I have the ability to build a more powerful trebuchet. This really needs to be based on actual needs and make more such light and heavy weapons.That night, the torsion slingshot began to be installed on the two new ships, "Grey Squirrel" and "Salmon Chief". It was still the old rule. Each ship had six on the bow deck and four on the stern deck.Simultaneously with the loading of weapons, it is to further carry wheat, dried fish, and even some special things to the cabin.Young green pine needles and the first Nordic daisies to bloom. Boiled pine needle water for drinking, uses the fragrance and faint bitterness to dissipate the muddy smell of natural water. Every Viking tribe has this habit. It is not tea drinking, but Rurik deliberately allowed this tradition to evolve directly into tea drinking.Naturally, tea leaves can never be imagined. The daisy, which is a substitute for tea, can be blooming right now! The ground had just thawed, and these flowers appeared almost overnight.Perhaps eating whole-wheat bread and bread is enough to meet the vitamin needs of soldiers. While keeping cautious, Rurik prefers to allow them to take in more vitamins, especially the very critical vitamin C. Drinking chrysanthemum tea will definitely solve the intake of the Nordic people. The problem of vitamin difficulties. Although boiled tender pine needles is also an option, boiled chrysanthemum tea tastes good after all.The agreed date is tomorrow, and all preparations are in order!Conquering Karelia, this battle is not at all an army rushing over to hack and kill the problem. If that were the case, things would be easier.That night, Rurik gathered his wives and concubines on the third floor of the palace.He opened the window and let the cool breeze come in. The moonlight and stars almost covered the beating flame of the oil lamp and shone on every girl's face.The girls are nervous, and it would be a good thing to be able to follow Liurik on the expedition this time.So, who will get this opportunity?Rurik guessed each other's thoughts through their faces, and he let out a sigh of relief: "Time is very tight. Tomorrow is the day of expedition. Now I announce who will go with me."He stretched out his hand and pointed it at Carlotta and Svetlana very simply.The tight nerves of the girls were instantly discouraged, and Rurik heard a slight hiss of jealousy."I know, you all want to follow me to meet the world. This is a war, not a game! Carlotta will participate in the battle as a fighter. Svetlana!" Rurik deliberately increased his tone. His eyes also glanced at her: "You are the wife my father chose for me, and I will not disobey my father's arrangements. You and I still have a Slavic wedding, and we will do it this year.""Yes." Svetlana tried to suppress her inner ecstasy. Thanks to the strict education of her parents, she was able to suppress her inner emotions.She is twelve years old and is married according to Slavic tradition. Besides, it's so beautiful to be able to go back to her family's house with Rurik.Even Norren can't go to the East again, even if Rose's Warriors Fourth Flag team is all her Balmerks.Rurik had inadvertently said that a small meeting on the third floor ended soon. He distracted the other wives and concubines, but left the two daughters Carlotta and Lanna to arrange some extra matters.The agreed date! It's today!Thousands of people gathered on the beach, and the wooden walls of the city were once again full of people. Thanks to the further reinforcement of the walls, they could carry such weight.A small altar was temporarily erected on the sandy ground. Although she could not go on an expedition with her beloved man, Lumia knew she must abide by the high priest's mission.In all fairness, she is very supportive of Rose's conquest of Karelian forces. All the deer breeders are not easy to provoke the Karelians, even if everyone raises deer for a living.The source of this fear actually comes from hundreds of years ago. The Lapu deer people were originally a group of people excluded from the Karelian ethnic group. The Lapu are the humblest existence in this area. Rose's servants followed Master Rurik, and everyone finally got a stable life.The beach was full of heavily armed fighters, including the newly promoted Fourth Flag team, Captain Helafide Bringoldson and his guys all put on standard Ross jerseys.The white cloth was sewn with blue stripes on the body, a deer belt was tied around the waist, and the belt was also hung with weapons such as daggers and hand axes. They also carried burlap backpacks with straps on their backs, which were full of cooking utensils, a small amount of dry food, and leather water bags filled with water. A piece of linen cloth was rolled into a roll, and the bending ground was fixed on both sides of the backpack. Finally, a huge round shield hung on the bag.Only a few of them carry spears, and most of them have swords.One centurion team was widely equipped with wooden crossbows and also received a small number of arrows allotted.Hellafeld is the captain of such a flag team. He never dreamed that an army could have such an armed force.Look at himself! In addition to these weapons distributed by the Duke of Ross, what Hellafeld can get is the iron sword and his own leather helmet that his father gave him.Now, this leather helmet has been ordered by an adult, that is, a helmet collar made of a large number of wild ducks and wild geese feathers must be installed. The feathers of the helmet collar are all dyed with Isatis indigo, and a large amount of turpentine is glued to further fix it."Now, the enemy and my people can clearly see that I am an extraordinary character."Hellafeld highly praised the arrangement of Rlik. The entire flag team was subdivided into more combat teams. The ranks of officers depended on the number of helmet leader feathers and the installation method. Think about it carefully. This is really the smartest choice. After all, everyone was roaring during the melee. The commander was afraid that it would be difficult to exchange information with other guys even if he broke his throat. Now you can know where the friendly is by looking at the feathers on the top of the friendly.Not only that, but there is a flag-holder next to Hellafield. This person is holding a wooden pole with ferocious beasts. There is a flag on the pole, and the blue cloth stitched on it is said to be in Roman letters. Text message: The Fourth Flag of the Ross Army Warriors.The brothers have just changed their outfits this time, and they only look like regular and fierce Ross troops. The team really has the strength of the Rus army, when it needs some training.Hellafeld is very fortunate, because the captain of each group, that is, the ten-man team, is Rurik's old mercenary. These people have allowed the brothers to stand up neatly, just like those of the First Banner. The guys are the same.But, why are there still a group of teenagers standing on this beach?It was Fisk and Kanuf, and even Telavis unearthed from Elronburg.Rurik selected a hundred young fighters from his subordinates. They are in their puberty, and their minds are full of ideas for fighting and meritorious service. Their physical fitness is also the same as that of adult men. Compared with their older peers, they have been constantly Received the Roman alphabet, Latin and mathematics education, but the level of education surpassed others.These young soldiers mixed everything with their other elite mercenaries and Corvins who helped fight, plus those old sailors who manipulated the torsion slingshot, directly pieced together into the shooting flag team.In this expedition, a team of nearly two thousand people will rush to Fort Shilla on the Neva River!And this is still part of the army. After the Slavs are in place, Rurik estimates that he can organize an army of more than 3,000 people.Is it just that? Do not! There is also a large group of Finns who can help.Those Suomi people who are part of Finland choose to obey very wisely. Just like Rome, Rurik boasted of building a northern Rome, and he had to learn from Rome when he did things, such as conscripting Suomi servants to join the battle, and giving them the spoils after the victory.Besides, to eliminate the Karelian forces, the long-term threat of the Suomi people is gone?Lumia wore a antler helmet and sang a hymn to Thor by the flames of the altar.She and Rumi, and even the other ten little priests, are essentially Rurik's wives and concubines. All the Ross people and the guests know this and are willing to talk about it faithfully.Thor is not only the **** of craftsmen, but also the **** of war. Today, he first praises and sacrifices for them.After that, it was another hymn to Odin, and the sacrifices came to the most critical moment.Rose, who has a herd of deer, no longer has to worry about sacrificial sacrifices. Rurik stared at the raging fire, thinking about whether he could recruit an army of four thousand people, or chat with the leader of Suomi to form a two-pronged coalition. A full-scale attack on the Karelian forces.Now that it has reached the critical stage of sacrifice, he showed his dagger towards the deer of sacrifice...The deer's liver was cut out, and Lumia cut the liver and declared to the cheers that the battle would be won.The victory must belong to Ross, and the soldiers who are ready now begin to line up to board the fleet that has been parked at the trestle and is ready to go!The Aphrora, the Duke of Ostara, the Grey Squirrel, and the Salmon Chief, the four ships alone packed five hundred people in one go!There were also the first four of the smaller planetary sail destroyers, which were packed with another four hundred people.With the success of the last ultra-long-distance sailing expedition, Rurik has indeed learned a lesson from it. He stuffed too many people into the boat in one breath, so that the crew was too crowded, and it was really uncomfortable.Even the crew of a large ship like the Aphrodite has been reduced a lot, although it is because of the factor that it can't pull too many people, it is also because a lot of military rations and reserve weapons are stuffed in her cabin.How to place more soldiers? Naturally, those armed cargo ships after transformation.Four sail cruisers, four sail destroyers and twenty sail armed cargo ships. UU Reading www.uukanshu.comThe cheers of the people resounded throughout the fjord. They excitedly watched the invincible fleet slowly leave the trestle bridge, watched the ships assemble into a fleet in the fjord waters, moving against the wind and slowly sailing out of the fjord.The people have been paying attention, and the decks of the ships are also full of people.As the captain of the mercenary, Jeflo is qualified to stay on the flagship, and this time he was ordered to bring his wife and even his baby son.After all, Hermi gave birth to the baby very safely, although the baby was very delicate, and it was very adventurous to take him on sailing. Both Hermi and Yevlo knew the significance of this voyage, only because Yevlo received an important task, which was to go to the Suomi territory to pull out a servant army to assist the Rus in destroying Karelia in the first battle. Ah.Therefore, as the Earl of Finland, he was anxious to support Ross with the army.As for the Earl of Finland, this is the baby boy!Jeflo has given his son a name, and he is called Satuly, which means warrior.
