Rise of Rurik

Chapter 579 The Suomi Army is in Action

The place where the Ross army is stationed is really the country of ten thousand lakes. This is a continuous lake area, and the fish in the lake seem to be uncontrollable.

A large number of long boats were turned into fishing boats, and the large nets made of hemp rope they used to carry were immediately used.

The Russ, Balmerks and others immediately restored the essence of fishermen. They fished and cast nets, and the fishing seemed quite easy, especially when the boat was parked on the breezy lake at night, and the oil lamp was lit and the net was sprinkled. It is easy to catch large amounts of bass and pike.

The amount of catch was enough to shock the captives who were under control.

Especially the female prisoners, they were forced to serve their new men and deal with the fish they caught, so they also got food rations. When the man is full and full, he will inevitably lie down and serve.

No matter what pride the Tavastias once possessed, these duckweeds in troubled times can only survive in this way.

Because they are women, the Ross army is not stupid enough to take advantage of the new women they have. If you have meat to eat, women should also eat meat.

However, the Ross people are still conquerors. It has been many days since they occupied Tavastalu, the sacrificial center. The reason why Rurik did not take the trophies to go is mainly waiting for the new leader of all the local villages to meet him, and to him the Duke of Ross Kneel down and surrender.

A "great tribal alliance" of 20,000 people killed five thousand men in battle, and the strength of the entire alliance was almost gone. Will the surviving people still have the ability to continue to resist the Russian army? According to general reason, since Ross released the olive branch, they should surrender, and join if they can't beat it.

But things are changing!

A large number of Karelian tribes live in the northwestern part of Lake Ladoga.

Karelians, they are nomads by the lake, and their clan name is also "herders." They raise and graze reindeer, in order to find a larger grazing space, naturally there is a conflict between the Tavastian relatives of the same origin. Because they belong only to the Karelians in the West Branch. In the far north and east of Lake Ladoga, there are other Karelians who speak the same language.

Even Perm in the east actually means "grand bazaar".

Whether it is Pan Karelian, Tavastian, Kovin, Rapp (deer breeder), Suomi (Fin), Estonian, or even Perm. They speak very similar languages, and they are also in constant disputes.

Times have changed. The powerful Varangal strength and the large number of Slavs who invaded from the south are constantly compressing their living space.

Now, even the soft belly of the mighty Tavastia has been cut open by the blade of the Rus...

Nuori, who was staying in the Lake District in the eastern part of the territory with hundreds of men, cruised on the lake in more than a hundred canoes, to guard against the sudden invasion of the Karelians on the other side of the lake.

Suddenly, a canoe that reported the news came quickly from the waterway in the west. The messenger found their eastern stronghold camp and informed Nuori, who had been promoted to the new chief of the alliance, with a heavy news.

The messenger was panting because of the non-stop paddling, and there were three people who came together in a boat.

They knelt down in Nuori’s battalion commander, showing their hands with missing fingers, and then with a serious cry, they told of their misfortune and the failure of the alliance.

All this is like a thunderbolt in the sky!

"You mean, Watkad was defeated? Only three hundred of our five thousand brothers survived?"

Nuoli was unbelievable at first, but the messenger continued to cry: "The attackers crossed the sea and they are very powerful. The sacrificial center has been occupied. They tore down the statues and burned the houses. All the women were controlled by them, and they suffered all day long. Humiliated, those who did not follow were killed..."

The more the messenger speaks, the more it goes over the fire, although the words are basically facts, the rhetoric is indeed a serious exaggeration.

They said a lot only to explain the term "Ros", pointing out that this is the name of a powerful enemy. In the long history of Tavastia, the hostile Kovins and Karelians, to put it bluntly, were their close relatives and their encounters with the Rus, a branch of the Varyag (Viking) people, this is the first time.

The hometown is occupied by the enemy with strong and powerful enemy! He and hundreds of brothers are already the last force in the alliance.

Someone was furious: "Watkad is dead, Nuori, you must kill with your brothers and take back our home."

Someone immediately refuted this unwise proposal: "Can this work? Five thousand brothers have been defeated, so they count on five hundred of us. Don’t be killed by the enemy just after arriving, and then kill the Karelians. Come here, everything is over."

People fell into a panic and learned that their wives and daughters were occupied by the invaders, most of the brothers died in battle, and other bad news. The last Tavastias cried heartbreakingly in the dark night forest.

Finally, in the extreme anxiety, Nuoli made a seemingly surprising but reasonable decision.

At this juncture, what kind of eastern border is still being guarded? Tavastia has collapsed! The only thing the men can do in the end is to find friendly forces, move in to rescue the soldiers to defeat the invaders, and do their best to recover.

They did not hesitate to regard their business partner Suomi (Fen) as the only trustworthy object.

An army of canoes was suddenly dispatched, and they formed a fleet cruising on the lake. The move was shocked by the Karelian sentinels who were ambushing on the other side of the lake. They were shocked to think that Tavastia was about to launch a surprise attack.

The attack did not happen, the Tavastia fleet suddenly changed its direction all the way south, and finally disappeared in the lush forest of early summer...

Nuoli and the others drifted in the stretch of the lake for five days with a heavy heart, and then safely arrived at the northeastern edge of the Suomi controlled area.

The Suomi people are also guarding against the encroachment of the Karelians, and they also face another heavy pressure-the invasion from the Varangans.

What are Varangas? To put it bluntly, they are the Old Gotland Islanders, Bornholm Islanders, Saarema Islanders, Merlaren and Ross people, these people who speak Norse.

Nuoli and the group immediately declared their identity to the locals. In order to meet the leaders of Suomi's village, they were willing to hand over their weapons.

Why did the Tavastia from the north suddenly become so weird?

Based on the mutual trust in trade established over decades, the Suomi people who fished led these people who were actually disarmed to Suomi’s trading center on the island of the lake.

Kupaboka, the name is simple and straightforward, it means "bazaar". This is just like Birka (Mälaren Bazaar) in Sweden, Hezeby, Denmark, and Bergen, Norway. They are all trade bazaars.

As a result of trade gathering people, most Suomi people also live around their big bazaar.

Naturally, Kupaboka also became the political and cultural center of the Suomi people.

For ethnic groups that have arisen from trade, it may be naturally difficult for them to have a monarch with the highest power. Suomi’s village and large family, like the northern neighbor of Tavastia, elected a chief. The chief’s main job was actually to arm his brothers to resist when he was invaded by a military.

The chief's name was Ukonilma, and his mother gave birth to him in a thunderstorm, and his person was named after the thunderstorm.

People often call it "Wuke", of course, in general, the names used to address each other have lost their original meaning and become a mere code name.

A large group of Tavastia men came in canoeing. They were not here to do business, but to report the news of a war?

Many village leaders rushed to the market in Kupaboka, gathered at the meeting place, and listened to the cry of the northern neighbors.

Nuoli's faces were embarrassing as if they were constipated for half a month. This time the chief Uko felt that the neighbor was frustrated by the Karelian attack. This is to move the soldiers.

"I just learned that you were attacked. Let me fight for you? If our brothers are all supporting it, of course you can. But you have to pay some price."

Nuoli hasn't spoken yet. Can't you think that the Suomi people are so generous?

Wait a minute! These guys are also coveting some treasures.

Up to now, after the event was completed, some things were surrendered to allow Tavastia to survive, and Nuori accepted it for reasons.

Nuoli then said with tears and nose: "We were attacked by the enemies who crossed the sea. They were very powerful. We were defeated and most of the men were killed! The territory was occupied, and the deer and cattle we raised were all killed. They were captured, and all the women became slaves to the enemy, living a lifeless life every day..."

The words are getting more and more outrageous, and its core meaning is only one, that is, the Tavastia people who "punched Karelian and kicked Kewen" in the impression of Suomi people have died.

Chief Uko and his friends were extremely embarrassed, and their smiles became extremely stiff.

"So, you want us to assemble an army to help you defeat the enemy and restore the country?"

"Exactly."

"This...really...necessary?"

Obviously, since the enemy can beat tough people so embarrassed, how does Uko feel that his people can be defeated and expelled? Looking at the eyes of the leaders of other villages, they did not seem to be dripping in this muddy water.

Seeing the other party's retreat, Nuori was impatient in his eagerness, and he shouted in grief, "Don't you know that this water area is connected? From the river owned by the northern Kewen people to you Suomi people can go straight. The river in the southern sea has many waterways! Since the attackers can attack us, the next step is to attack you."

This statement strikes at the heart of the Suomi people, why can't they understand the truth of the truth?

Uko suddenly asked, "So, what is the relationship between these invaders and the Varangans?"

In fact, Nuoli is not clear, and simply yelled: "Maybe more powerful than the Varanges. In short, if you don’t resist now, you will be attacked by them sooner or later. Now they are busy enjoying the spoils and are busy ravaging ours. The women of our homeland. They must be negligent. If we form a large coalition northward, they will be caught off guard."

Nuori spoke so much again, Uko and his guys began to look weak and weak, although the risk of fighting a strong enemy was extremely alarming, they smelled the scent of profit, and the adventure was worthwhile.

As soon as Uko changed his retreat attitude, he suddenly asked bluntly: "If we send troops, what will you sell?"

Nuoli was overjoyed, but now he has only more than 500 men left, nothing else.

"That is the reindeer we raised, helping us defeat the enemy, and giving you three thousand!"

"Three thousand heads? No. Too few."

"So what?" Nuoli guessed their appetite.

"Five thousand heads."

"can."

"That's not enough." Another village leader suddenly increased his weight. "Didn't you claim to have killed five thousand men? Does it mean that five thousand women have lost their husbands. Give the women to us, at least we said the same thing to each other. Language, I’m afraid the ancestors are also the same, your woman is our woman."

"This..." Although it sounds like this group of Suomi's requirements are not more restrained than the invader Rus, but Nuori has no good choices now.

Whether there are five thousand reindeer, whether the women in the occupied homeland are still there, Nuoli does not know the exact news.

If they do not support what the Suomi people want, they will definitely send troops passively.

"I promised! We are organizing a mixed team, and I can meet all of your requirements."

A fire ignited in Uke's eyes, and the village leaders could share as many as 5,000 women at a single hearing, and the risks involved were all ignored!

There is no hope for the Suomi people to become bigger. Their coastal villages are always facing the attack of the Varangans. In recent years, there have been more Varanga ships cruising in the southern ocean, and the appearance of the ships has become weird and bigger. Big. There are legends that fierce war broke out among the Varangians. Maybe the internal friction of these enemies can bring peace to the Suomi people? But there were also brave sea-crossers paddling a canoe to the opposite side of the Gulf (Gulf of Finland) and found the local Estonian tribe. They learned that the locals had been horribly slaughtered by the Varangians and hundreds of people were killed.

If the resources of the Tavastias can be obtained, Suomi will become sufficient to protect himself in the complex world.

Uko decided to command the army to join the war, and news of the battle began to spread quickly.

Thousands of people think this is a huge opportunity. What is fighting against a strong enemy? As long as you win, you can get a lot of good irons, and you can also ask for a woman. That's the promise of five thousand women!

The Suomi people gathered in their bazaar in a canoe. It took only three days to gather close to 3,000 people~www.readwn.com~ I can see that the men from other villages are all out, how can my village be neglected? ? Everything was astonishing as the Tavastias showed, and this group of Suomi also assembled most of the men.

Compared to the Tavastias, the Suomi boats are better. The Suomi people are good at making large canoes and are good at smelting iron. The ancient Finns have two strong, Tavastia has declined in World War I, and the Suomi people have become all hope.

Seven or eight people sat in a canoe. They gathered more than 400 canoes at once. The paddling warriors piled short spears, axes, daggers, javelins, short wooden bows, and arrows on the boat. People still carry slings. There are so many ships, they are very proud of themselves, and feel that this huge army is invincible.

At least fighting on the lake, Suomi is worthy of anyone. Their brisk canoes can quickly gather and spread quickly, shooting arrows at the enemy ship and circle the enemy, and finally killing the enemy ship's people to win. As for ship collisions and gang jumping operations, the Suomi people are not willing to do these tactics that are not conducive to them.

The strength of the troops gave everyone strong confidence, just like the Tavastians did more than a month ago. In addition, there are five hundred Tavastia fighters as guides. They are actually a coalition of two ethnic groups. As the commander of the army, dominating an army of up to four thousand people, Uko feels that his life has reached the peak. .

It is the first time that he has led so many men (a group of women and young children in the team) on an expedition, and the glory is really endless.

After a sacrifice to the **** of lakes, Suomi's army marched northward and attacked the entrenched Ruths along the waterway leading to Tavasalu!
