Rise of Rurik

Those long-distance travel sledges are no longer simply a hard contact structure between two hard oak and ice and snow. A batch of carbon steel skins are forged by the blacksmith with small holes reserved, and the rivets are nailed to the bottom of the oak sledge.

In this way, Ross's sled can be made big and durable, and even add some strange equipment.

If you just install a tent made of leather and linen on a big sled, it would be too sloppy. The big sled used by ordinary people can do this, but Rurik, the prince, is too unreasonable to do this.

The prince needed a sledge suitable for his noble status, so he had to build a wooden house directly on the sledge. It is of course not huge, it is just suitable for multiple people to squeeze in. The wooden wall is also equipped with small windows and inlaid glass windows. This is because of technical reasons, large flat glass can not be made naturally. The so-called window glass is made by blown glass tubes and forced open in the middle. It is not Large, it is enough for light transmission.

Due to the relative ample time, the assembly of the Ross army will take a while. During this time gap, the mill of Asraki, who is responsible for the production of rations, will naturally work hard.

In the same way, the carpenters and blacksmiths of Shilla Fort had a job.

They undertook the work of sled transformation, and their task was to build a house on the big sled and nail the iron sheet to the bottom of the sled. Such mass-produced manned sledges also need to be hung with deerskin on the outside to keep warm, and the reserved windows are still inlaid with windows, such windows can be removed even with wooden frames.

Without him, if an extreme situation is encountered, the soldiers in the sled hold the crossbow and shoot directly through the observation window.

Fighting is fighting for money, and the principle of gold bucks when the cannon is fired can really be felt by Leurik.

The Russian army’s fighting method, which is unique to other European countries and tribes, is based on a large number of long-range weapons. Now the principality is not as weak as it used to be. The bones, flint and glass arrow clusters that used to make up the number do not need to be mass-produced. The principality directly produces Produce carbon steel arrow clusters, and then glue the wood rods with loose glue. The cost of such high-quality arrows is now low enough to be squandered.

Arrow rods are mostly made of birch and pine. The bark of the wood is peeled off to make paper, and the rest is enough to make arrow shafts.

Arrow feathers are the easiest to get, and the fact that this thing is readily available makes the guest Pecheneg surprised and reasonable.

Because the people of Shilla Fort and Novgorod encourage chickens, they mainly raise chickens to eat eggs. In order to prevent the domestic chickens from flying away, the chickens are squashed immediately after they grow up, and even their wings are squashed. There will be fluff left.

Dafeiyu was sold to the prince. As for Xiaoyu, it seemed useless. When the feather duster was born under the guidance of Rurik, Xiaoyu was also useful.

You don't need to stick to the geese. The feathers of chickens, ducks and geese are all good sword feathers, especially from the current position of the duchy. These arrows are defaulted by Rurik as a weapon for one use. A non-mainstream vocabulary called "ammo" was "invented" by Rurik to refer to this kind of arrow.

The hunters felt that the prince’s attitude towards arrows was too strange, which caused a benefit, that is, when the Russ marched out, they would always prepare a large number of arrows, which could shoot the enemy unscrupulously.

The Rus army was preparing to make a lot of excitement before the war, which made the female leader Lu Di continue to be surprised. She also saw that the tribal girls she brought with her were forced to work every day, making pine glue, chopping wood, carrying supplies, washing clothes and so on for the Ross people.

The work is hard as a whole, and it is no better than the work in my hometown. The selected tribal girls are indeed girls, but in that extremely poor living condition, the children will have to work when they reach the age of five, and they can actually do a lot of work.

The key lies in what they get from their labor. The female leader noticed that they are eating cereals and porridge every day, and they can also eat fish every day. The skinny girl has obviously changed in figure, and her eyes and looks can be described as energetic.

If it was just a few days of hospitality, the female chief would think that this was a righteous act of the prince. Obviously this was not the case at all, or the life of the Rus was like this, and the prince did not entertain them.

The group of servants must send manpower to join the army, and it is necessary to send out the last few soldiers to make up the number.

The female leader of Ludi also got the order. The so-called female leader should mobilize a hundred men to join the Rus army after the army arrived in the village of Ludi. Then the men of Ludi will be armed by the Principality.

It is impossible for Rurik to provide those "forest savages" with high-tech, but simply rewards simple iron spears, poor quality axes made from cast iron, and eliminated bones and arrows from glass arrow clusters. The quantity of all these materials is also extremely limited. .

In Ross's opinion, these weapons are all rubbish, and Rudi can immediately improve the efficiency of production and life.

"They must be good to me? No. At least they can't shame me, at least they look like a servant army and not a beggar." Rurik has such a mentality.

One-third of the 100 sledges were remodeled, and the rest were arranged for manned use. At least wooden pillars were erected and deerskin linen was nailed to keep warm.

In this way, the horses don't have to be ridden all the way, they are unsaddled, covered with wool felt, and the reins are connected to the sled, and they travel with the entire sled team.

As for the livestock pulling the sled, it was luxurious. The docile and unbred female deer was selected, and the eight deer pulled one. A single female deer may have only half a horsepower, but Balu is a powerful source of power.

A capable and large-scale winter expeditionary force assembled at Harvest Square in Fort Shilla, and people from all over the city came to watch the grand occasion.

Look! Under the roar of the north wind, there are flags hunting. A flag is hung on the top of each sleigh, and Ross's blue flag on a white background is flying.

The soldiers have uniform clothes, white robes with blue patterns, and only their own warm hats in various shapes. They also have a unified backpack. The hard linen strap is the rope of the pocket. This simple and hard structure has been widely used by hunters. There is also a felt curled back plate on the backpack.

Rurik equips his subordinates with the attitude of equipping the soldiers of World War I. He does not need to be limited to having muskets. The subordinates are equipped with a large number of lightweight wooden crossbows and steel swords and round shields. The Nordic warriors equipped in this way are enough. Deal with the current state of war. The great strength of logistics also determines the endurance of this expeditionary force.

Of course, things should be done as prepared as possible.

A special sled team does not participate in any war. They have one and only one mission, transporting food and new arrows to the stronghold of Bear Market Town on the north shore of Ladoga Lake.

Lake Ladoga is very large, so it was decided that a guide was needed to find the Rudi village. The army can naturally cross the ice lake directly, but when it reaches the east bank, it is not known whether it will go south or north.

Rurik decided to use the safest method to lead the army counterclockwise, and also to visit the villages of the Vips people and to inspect the town of Xiongji.

He gave a speech in the fierce wind, and the necessary pre-war mobilization speech was not so necessary. He still said something.

It happened that the army was assembled in Fengshou Square, and all the golden statues placed in the Great Temple were moved out, and the statues were allowed to shimmer in the sun.

The high priest and the lower priests were given temporary jobs. A deer was sacrificed, the blood of the deer was sacrificed to the gods, and the ceremonies were made by Rurik. The liver of the deer was cut out and offered to the high priest, after which the high priest declared good luck.

Rurik wiped the deer blood from the dagger, panting, and it was white mist.

"Warriors, let's go!"

Then the army began to act amidst the sound of drums and horns, and Norren’s band immediately played the melody of "Farewell to Slavic Women". The so-called "Farewell to Slavic Women" melody was very suitable because the band lacked trumpets and instruments.

In the farewell and enthusiastic expectation of the people, the expeditionary forces with luxurious equipment and magnificent magnificent lined up in a long snake formation and marched eastward on Nevsky Prospekt. The east gate of the city opened, and the prince brought the queen Svetlana to the court. As for the other wives and concubines, there is no need, after all, Lanna is the real queen, and she alone is enough.

Although the strength of the army has passed five hundred, the advancing army has reached a thousand reindeer, and there are more than one hundred war horses accompanying.

According to Rurik's vision, the army had to expand some more sleds and bring a handful of Vips archers when they arrived in the Vips village. After the army arrives in the town of Bear Festival, there will be as many as 100 male and female hunters bringing their own dry food, weapons, sleighs and reindeer to join this feast of plundering and exploring.

The army is naturally not as large as possible, unless the guys who join later are willing to obey the command and bring their own supplies.

Everything was under Rurik's control. When the sled team entered Lake Ladoga and then proceeded along the shoreline to Bear Sacrifice Town, a large number of hunters learned of the expedition and cancelled their hunting plans and joined them decisively.

There are more than a hundred hunters who insisted on asking to join the army, and their identity is generally Suomi. Isn't this situation a better solution? Because Jevlo himself was in the army, he stayed there after arriving in Novgorod for the "Hajj" in late autumn. The original plan was to return to the Finnish Lakes in the spring.

Evlo easily organized a team of centuries. They mainly held short wooden bows and a small amount of wooden crossbows, and accepted his command. At the same time, this group of guys brought all the equipment and never left behind.

Rurik set up a supply point in Bear Festival Town, and unloaded the food. In this way, if the army feels that there is not enough food, it can return immediately. According to Rurik’s tactical reserves, the rations can be eaten for a month, so the army can advance east for at least 15 days. The best expectation is that after annihilating the remnants of Karelia, they will eat their supplies and the army's supplies will be eased.

Kagan has always felt that Prince Rurik’s desperate calculation of this is very strange, it seems that this is full of wisdom, he is silently observing, and is also planning to learn the Russian warfare based on this Eastern Expedition, and if it is good, he will learn it and bring it to his hometown grassland. .

The army has expanded to nearly 700 men, which is already a powerful army in the north.

Before the Ross messenger was really true, if the Ross were crazy, it would be as simple as squeezing a squirrel to death by this army.

The female chief is at least very thankful that Rudi has become Ross's servant, but she has overlooked one thing-the people of the village don't know all this.

A huge group came from the north. The Ludi people who had suffered a big defeat for the first time suffered from being defeated by twenty Russ. They deeply remembered those nasty white cloth and blue patterns, and they thought of failure when they saw it.

Now the Ross army is here again.

The first thing ordinary Ludi people think of is to run away. An old man was elected as the temporary leader, and he called on the people to run to the east as soon as possible.

When it was, a small sleigh rushed all the way, and the female leader rushed back in time. Everyone was shocked to see her safe, and although they were suspicious of her description, many people still stagnated.

"A village under a forest. Are you going in?" Arik looked at it and asked contemptuously.

Rurik shook his head: "They will start flying when you pass by the bird, because you are too big. Don't frighten them, we will temporarily set here and let the old woman explain the situation."

This female leader is the most prestigious, and a pure Rudi is not a fan of anything. Now that Rose has become the new master and promised to give some iron and salt, then don't run away.

The Rudy people welcomed the arrival of the Ross army, but Rurik was still worried that his army would uproot them, as they said they would kill themselves with a sharp sword.

The Rus army camped in the unowned woodland, and Lurik ordered all the men in Rudy who could take up arms to come and meet him. The so-called selection of servants from the tribes would give them some rewards.

The commanding messenger is the female leader, and it is true that everyone is trembling and eager to try. They have never seen a powerful external force other than the Karelians, and it is said that they are still the giant-like Ross people in the west of the Great Lakes.

To show her sincerity, the female leader gathered 233 men and went to see the master with bare hands.

The aggressive Ross warriors were ordered to show off, they formed a shield wall with a majestic appearance holding a short spear.

This scared the Rudi man shivering.

Rurik suddenly appeared in bear skin. He deliberately hung a large number of crystal clear glass **** on his body, making the whole person too gorgeous, but Rurik consciously dressed himself as a clown.

This jewel-like aura really opened eyes to the Lu Di people, and they subconsciously understood that this was the noblest.

Suddenly, Rurik ordered: "Sit down!"

This was a language they could understand, and the Lu Di man sat down obediently as soon as he heard it.

Then it was Rurik who preached in Old Finnish, most of the words Rudy understood, and knew the promise of the King of Conquerors.

Everyone was quite surprised. They thought they were going to be slaves. Can there be many benefits to being slaves to the Ross people? Just to attack the Karelians, everyone still has lingering fears.

Rurik made them stand again, and the tall, he walked past these short men personally, picking the outstanding ones at will.

The youngest and strongest man with the highest physical fitness was selected, and the next-level men were also pulled out. Some time ago, they took up weapons to attack Ross Hunters, but now they have transformed themselves into Ross fighters.

Their productivity is too low and changing to new clothes is a big happy event. Now Rurik gave them the blue robe with white background of the Rus army, and also gave them the iron spearhead and iron cluster arrows.

A group of people changed their shotguns, and a hundred-man Ludi servant army was born. It was their combat effectiveness. Rülik had no extravagant expectations. They only needed to do a good job of guiding.

A young man who was believed to be prestigious, named Markut, was canonized as a temporary commander by Rülik to restrain Rudi's servants, but the female leader must also accompany the army.

The Ludi people are still the people of the frontiers, and Lurik wants to personally find a pug to be the ruling agent. Is this Markut OK? At least he must have outstanding performance in this operation.

The Ross army temporarily lived near Ludi Village, but the accompanying hunters and many soldiers had already begun trading with the locals.

The Ludi people are extremely scarce of all kinds of living materials, but they still have a lot of squirrel skins and ferret skins. They are too simple and poor and crazy. The Ross people do not need to annihilate them for plundering materials. They can complete the plundering of materials by commercial means by relying on the sudden rise of the forest field.

This includes, but is not limited to, buying large amounts of squirrel skins with salt, and buying local women's overnight bodies with food. It is very curious that the latter not only did not feel that he had suffered a big loss, because the clans did indeed get a batch of iron and salt, and even the clan girls might have been left behind by the Roses.

Don't they have no shame? On the contrary, UU reading www.uukanshu. com's relatively isolated life style, and the strong rejection of close relatives in the depths of their souls, determine that they are willing to have intimate communication with good strangers.

Yu Shiliu Rick didn't want to do this, but considering the actual factors, he simply acquiesced.

The Ross people are so tall and not afraid of the cold! They kept the seeds, and the children born in this way must be tough. The Ludi people want to think very much. The clans hope to have more children and a larger population. As long as the children are still members of the clan, there is no need to worry about issues like appearance.

Although Rurik did not want to see this situation now, this scene has already happened a lot. There are more and more babies mixed with Viking blood in the principality. This is the choice that the people need to get the treatment. He really Can't control it.

But there is a good one. The clans of the Ludi people feel that they have earned it. They believe that the new descendants after the surrender will become strong and cold-resistant, and obviously will not die easily.

Yuros, their decision is very convenient for the rule of the royal family.

Then, to go to the Karelian remnant in partnership is the biggest vote of the Rudi people.
