Rise of Rurik

　　 As long as sufficient discipline is maintained and everyone who constitutes the human wall is well-trained, this wall cannot be easily broken.

　　 Even if the enemy is in a chariot and a spear formation is placed on the wall, it can be completely restrained.

　　 Once the discipline is loosened and the formation is not strong enough, it will be very difficult to organize after being overwhelmed.

　　 Looking at the laughing and joking guys, Rurik's brows jumped up unconsciously.

"Have you all played enough?!" Rurik yelled angrily, "Kanuf, what are you doing?! Your wall was easily broken by them. If this is a fight, many of you already dead."

　　 Kanuf smiled and mumbled: "Fisk is too strong, he overthrew us alone. Look, we are just some children, only Fisk is the strongest."

　　 "He was right." Fisker was extremely proud at the moment, "They are too weak. Obviously I don't need other people. I can break through their walls by myself."

What else could Rurik say, he had to shook his head helplessly: "It's just because we are too weak. If we are all grown-ups, I don't believe that you can break the wall by yourself. Even after some training, you will Can't break through."

　　 After that, Rurik clapped his hands vigorously and ordered all the children who were still sitting on the ground to stand up.

He yelled: "Don't be in a daze! Fisker said that the human wall you formed is too weak, and he can easily break through it by himself. It is as simple as a harpoon piercing a salmon. You all stand up, if you can believe it I will accept my orders completely until the wall is strong enough for him to not break through."

　　 They are all inspired to become outstanding warriors when they grow up, eager to make great achievements in future fights.

　　 Playing around is playing around, and training from childhood is still to be carried out.

　　 itself, this is part of their daily life.

　　 Regarding the fact that the human wall can be easily broken down, the main reason for this is that the children who make up the human wall are too young.

　　 They are generally only six and seven years old. They can hold wooden shields and wooden swords for a long time, and they are doing very well. To become very strong in the future, you need to practice and eat more meat.

　　 Simply enhancing physical fitness can indeed withstand powerful attacks. If you follow certain skills strictly, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

　　 The so-called technique here is that the human wall really forms a whole.

　　Lurik originally thought that the basic skills had been taught to them, and the results of the test were disgusting, and he had to personally guide him.

　　So what are the so-called basic skills?

　　 It is quite simple.

　　Since the human wall is three levels deep, the people in the last row use their shields against the second row, and the people in the second row continue to use their shields against the first person.

　　 For the next whole day, Rurik trained them to do this well.

　　 Is this really effective?

　　 The daylight in Northern Europe in autumn became shorter and shorter. The children on the hills lit a bonfire with flint, and they all sat on the ground around the bonfire.

　　 They all trust Ruriek very much, but after long training, everyone is very tired.

　　 Many people still carry kippers in their purses, and they ate the fish around the flames, let’s talk about the training.

　　 Kanuf handed "the leader" Rurik a dried fish, and asked by the way, "That's it? There are two people behind me, so Fisk can't break through?"

　　 "Hey, you have to ask Fisk about this."

　　 Kanuf shook his head, and he really asked Fisk, and the answer was naturally very simple.

　　 Fisk is the oldest of all children, even if he is only nine years old, it is natural to bully a group of younger brothers, and this is the source of his confidence.

　　 "Liurik." Fisk leaned over and said confidently.

"what's happenin?"

　　 "Maybe your strategy is effective, but you look at them. I think their human wall is still not good, no matter what strategy, I can break it down, only me is enough!"

　　 "Then you try." Rurik shook his pony-tailed head with a grin. "Or, let's make a bet?"

　　 "Bet? What to bet on?"

　　 "Just bet on a salted fish. If you can break through the wall, I will give you a salted fish. If you can't break through, give me one, what do you think."

　　 "Hey, that's it." After saying that, Fisk stood up, deliberately put on a very strong posture to show his strength, and then walked aside.

　　 At this moment, Rurik prides itself that after a day, the group of children has been trained to the same extent, and each of them has remembered the key to collision avoidance and understood their role in the entire team.

　　 After eating the noon dry food until the sun is about to set, most of the time everyone is walking in the queue in the state of a three-story human wall.

　　 At the time of this training, the three groups that served as the "impacter" identity also participated in the human wall training.

　　Liurik didn’t understand. Fisker should be able to understand that after this intensive training, the human wall is no longer what it used to be. Is Fisker still particularly confident in his physical fitness? At least Rurik believes in the power of the team more.

　　 But not all, Kanuf leaned over to Rurik again. After a word, Rurik could clearly feel the child's worry.

　　 "Are you scared by Fisk?" Rurik asked in a low voice?

　　 "No...I...I'm not afraid of him. He is very strong, I am afraid that if you fight, you can't beat him even with a grappling technique. I am still very worried about our human wall."

　　 "So you are still afraid."

　　 "I don't have one. Actually, I still want to ask, when we grow up, we fight with the enemy. For example, if Fisk wants to avenge those guys in Gotland, should we fight against the wall?"

"It doesn't have to be this way." Rurik shrugged. "Look at us, plus I am only forty-six people. In fact, I need more people, such as one hundred or five hundred. So that we can form Multiple walls. So look at this..."

　　 Lurik pondered, this matter can be explained in a few words, or it has been said with great effort. Can Kanuf, who is deliberately clarifying the situation, understand it?

　　 As a child, you can understand more straightforwardly than listening to it.

　　Lurik grabbed a few wooden sticks and gave Kanuf a demonstration on the ground under the light of the campfire and the setting sun.

　　 The so-called one wooden stick represents thirty people. He used four wooden sticks to form a square. With a square, he placed four more in succession.

　　 By adjusting the position of the stick again, the graphics also changed dramatically.

Rurik moved the stick while explaining. Kanuf, who was staring wide-eyed, was not mentally retarded. He knew that a wooden stick represented the wall of thirty people. It was in the hands of Rurik. Many of the walls were in charge. The location changes. But no matter how it changes, there are two other human walls on both sides of each human wall, even if it is behind the human wall, there is another human wall guarding it.

　　 Therefore, when hundreds of people gather together, there is no flaw at all.

Although Kanuf didn’t know how the adults participated in the fight, the current Rurik played with him. He believed very much that if the future fights were like Rurik’s plan, it would be like the tragedy of Fisk’s father. It won't happen.

　　 Why?

　　 There is no flaw in the entire formation, as long as the shields of the human wall work together to block the enemy, and then a unilateral sharp sword stab.

　　 "Now, I understand completely." Kanuf's eyes widened admiringly.

"My dear brother, everything starts with the forty-six of us. After you learn it, you will teach the other children in the tribe. When I become the leader in the future, we will fight like this. Respond as I show, The enemy comes with a thousand people. They cannot break through our human wall. They can only be solved by being stabbed to death by us, and we will not die alone."

　　 Kanuf can't help feeling: "Ah! If this is the case, Valkyrie on the cruise will see all this, we won't die alone to destroy a thousand enemies. When we are old, will we be picked up by her because of these achievements?"

　　 These words made Rurik a little bewildered, he settled, and deliberately agreed with Kanuf's guess. "Yes, the Valkyries are fair. They need real warriors, not braves. As for me, I just want to live this life with glory."

　　 "You will." Kanuf slapped Rurik's shoulder subconsciously, "You are the person I can trust. You will be the best leader, and I will always follow you."

　　 When the bonfire is about to burn out, night is about to fall. It is very dangerous to continue to stay outdoors. The Ross tribe is not afraid of wolves. They worry about the wolves that move at night and attack their children.

　　Lurik can feel that in the vast northern Europe and even Eastern Europe of this era, the number of large wild animals must be several times that of humans.

　　 The bonfire burned out, everyone went back together, and they were all mentally prepared to form another human wall tomorrow. Even if it was to keep a salted fish in Rick, Fisk would not let Fisk break the human wall away.

　　 For this night, what Kanuf thought about the most was the stick demonstration made by Lurik.

　　 After returning to his wooden house and eating the dried meat his mother had brought, he personally found some wooden sticks and fiddled with it.

　　 "Kanuf, are you playing games?" His mother had never seen her son play these strange things.

　　 "Leurik taught me."

　　 Speaking of Rurik, his mother thought of her son's "defeat" and the strange training of a group of children yelling on the hills during this period.

　　 The woman leaned over and asked earnestly: "Did you learn something from Rurik? For example, the methods he used to subdue you?"

Kanuf continued to squint his head, and said perfunctorily: "I learned a little bit. He teaches me nothing else now. He said that the men of the tribe fight in their own way. He is very opposed to this, so he organizes us. stand up."

　　 At this point, Kanuf became excited. He took a bunch of wooden sticks in front of his present face and reproduced Rurik’s demonstrations from memory.

　　 Viking women are not weak, and when necessary, women will also pick up swords. After all, men and women of the same tribe must be related to each other. It is usually men who use sharp swords to solve external conflicts. If the situation is urgent, it is a clan action.

　　 Kanuf’s mother knew how to fight, and watching her son’s demonstration with a wooden stick, an unprecedented sense of astonishment came to her mind.

　　In the long fighting time, the men of the Ross tribe have figured out the basic formation routines, forming a wall of people and launching an impact is also a good thing for men.

　　 But no one has ever thought of organizing hundreds of people into multiple walls to fight in a complex formation.

　　 She opened her eyes wide, and began to think of a strange scene in her mind.

　　 My husband followed the leader Otto. Hundreds of men formed a circle with a human wall. They had a battle axe or sharp sword hanging from their waists, a wooden shield tied to their left arm, and a short spear in both hands. The spearheads of hundreds of short spears pierced the enemies from all directions.

　　 After all, the men of the tribe are also good at using short spears. In fact, they are the harpoons for fishing and one of the weapons in battle.

　　 Now, the leader’s son Rurik organizes children to play with wooden shields and wooden swords. He will definitely organize children to use wooden sticks as short spears.

　　 At this moment, Kanuf’s mother deeply felt the wonderful things contained in Rurik, and she even felt that this matter was not as simple as a child’s game at all.

　　 She settled down, motioned to her son to continue playing, and then said: "I want to go out immediately."

　　 "Mom, what are you going to do? It's late now."

　　 "Don't worry, I'm going to the priest to explain something. I will be back soon."

　　 Soon, the woman put on a thick buckskin coat and went out, trotting all the way to the residence of the priests, and went straight to the home of the most respected grandmother Veria, to report the matter.
