Capítulo 87: Chapter 254: Asymmetrical battle on the hill
Now that he temporarily had military power from his father, Rurik naturally had to command the battle of the three hundred men on hand according to his own will.
As a new military commander, shouldn't you play some new tricks?
For example, use some new tactics that the Ross tribe has never seen before, and through these tactics, shock all those involved in the action.
Regardless of whether Rurik admits it or not, the prophecy is fulfilled, and all the warriors present believe that this is a major test of whether Rurik can serve as the new leader.
This battle is really a battle for the new leader of the future! It can be said that even a small-scale victory is more supportive of the tribe than the invention of multiple devices.
Rurik knew this well. My own Ross brothers want victory in battle.
He did not hesitate to publicly question the tactics of the Russ in traditional combat, which used a brain to charge, using momentum and sheer strength to overwhelm the enemy.
What he can think of that can bring changes to the military operations of the Rus tribe is the "pincer offensive" that has been tried and tested by later military strategists, and Rurik thinks better. This time, he wanted to experiment with a tactic of encircling three and one problem, the ultimate goal of which is to complete the annihilation of the enemy.
Sitting on the snowy ground, Rurik used some branches he picked up to outline the positions of his own people and enemies, and made a "sand table deduction".
Otto and his daring fighters sat on the ground, and everyone understood Rurik's tactical arrangements.
Facing the complex tactics his son decided to implement, Otto frowned. "Rurik, can this work?"
"Definitely. As long as everyone cooperates properly."
"You... But you actually asked your mercenaries to fight the fleeing enemy? Besides, they will really flee in the direction you designed. Can you see the future in this respect?"
Rurik felt that the old man's question was a bit funny. Then he thought about it. I'm afraid it's just because of all the previous tactics of the Ross tribe, there is no "pincer offensive", and there is no more complicated and vicious than the "pincer offense". The "Encircle Three Que One" tactics.
"Dad, you take your main force and touch it quietly according to my requirements. If you can defeat these... these Tavastias are the best. If they escape, my mercenary will shoot them."
Otto Ben felt that his son's strategy was very subtle, and only his son could think of such a strategy. He also felt that Rurik seemed to put himself in a more dangerous position.
After all, Otto is the leader, and he can withdraw his military power at any time.
Otto basically agreed with Rurik's decision. After claiming that the main force who would lead the outflank attack would complete the battle as quickly as possible and kill all the enemies, he also gave Rurik 50 warriors, and there were 20 of them. Hunter holding a short wooden bow.
In this way, Rurik can deploy as many as seventy ambushes on the road to intercept and flee.
After the battle plan was laid out, more than 300 warriors of the Ross people formed three battle groups. The two groups headed by Otto are responsible for the "Encirclement Three", and the seventy people from Rurik are responsible for the "Que One."
The warriors watched across the glacier, which is actually 700 meters wide, and took time to rest in the woods on the other side of the river, until the short daylight approached dawn.
Rurik was wrapped in a piece of leather and rested for a while, almost like the warriors of the tribe.
Only the soldiers who are in charge of guarding the sentry watch the changes in the stars with wide-eyed eyes.
The stars have reached the correct position, and the sky has begun to turn blue.
The sentry began to wake up the sleeping clansmen one by one. After a while, a soldier lifted the leather and stood up.
Otto wiped his face with snow, then took out the bronze helmet from his sleigh and fastened it on his head. He also put on a thin layer of chain armor, and then put on a warm fur coat outside. A belt was tied around his waist, and then the shield was carried on his back.
He held up his steel sword, supervised the movements of his tribe, and yelled to urge them to prepare for battle immediately.
Rurik held a leather helmet in his little hand, and he looked at it thoughtfully.
"Master, put it on quickly! We're going to fight soon." Yevlo, who was already in leather armor, urged.
"Oh, my spirit is a little trance."
"Are you scared?" Yevlo smiled slightly: "Don't worry, anyone will be nervous in the first battle. When you experience more, you will be relieved."
At this moment, Rurik felt that his Evlo was a battle-tested veteran. Yes, this person's ten years is probably the days when he was wrapped in a knife and licked blood.
Rurik was very concerned about Jeflo's thoughts, and he asked: "If... the enemy is the Tavastian, what would you do?"
"Of course it is to wipe them all out."
"Then fight." Ruriek bent his mind. He felt that his situation was too magical. After all, reality is reality, and the first battle of life is here.
He tore off the hemp rope that tied his hair, loosened his beautiful ponytail, and then buckled the seemingly weak leather helmet on his head.
Rurik didn't wear high-grade armor such as chain mail, he didn't even wear leather armor. It was not that Rurik felt that defense was not important, but that the armor was too heavy for his small body.
Besides, the troops under their control have unique combat methods. In theory, everyone should try their best to avoid short-term contact with the enemy, just shoot the enemy with the long-range weapon at hand before zero-range contact.
In this way, the mobility of light equipment is higher than that of heavy armor.
Conversely, most of Otto's leadership had to wear more leather armor, even a deerskin.
Because Jeflo's intelligence clearly pointed out that the unknown enemy faced by the Rus people was likely to fire a large number of arrows. Those arrows are destined to be bone arrows, maybe two layers of leather can offset the arrow's attack. As long as they get past the arrows of the enemy, the Ruth fighters have an absolute advantage.
In this way, when the dawn turned blue, the Ruths unloaded their sleighs and only brought on combat equipment. There are only twenty people who seem to be relatively weak, shoulder the important task of "housekeeping".
But Rurik's men are different.
The obviously weak Commander Ruriek was sitting on the sled, with a crossbow beside him, and more than twenty arrows behind him.
In this battle, the seventy people under Liu Lik, who was responsible for the interception of "Qu Yi", took all the arrows they had reserved. All kinds of arrows add up to 1,500!
Based on the number of bonfires alone, Rurik couldn't judge the enemy's strength very well, so he was prepared to shoot out the arrows.
The Ross men and soldiers split into three groups to start the action.
On the macro level, surrounding the unnamed and abrupt hills, the Russ army took the lead in the real pincer offensive with the aim of a large number of bonfires on the hills.
The total direction of the three forces of the Ross people is eastward. Otto led more than 70 people to the north side of the hill, and another cronies led 90 people to the south side of the hill.
They did not gather in a dense formation, but formed a loose formation to form a fishing net.
Otto developed his imagination and thought of this trick using the tribal trawler operation mode as a template. This trick is to imagine the enemy as a fish.
It is best if the enemy is willing to be positive, so that his son can't help but Otto believes in his own strength.
If the enemy flees, it will become his son's prestige.
Probably, that's it.
Otto's heart was somewhat worried, but the arrow of Lixian couldn't go back, and his detour troops from the north had already connected with the detour brothers in the south.
One by one, dark shadows were advancing in all the woods near the hill. At this moment, the sky was gradually brightening.
At a higher position, the whistling north wind is even more desolate.
Otto saw that the position was almost the same. He estimated that not only was the entire big net completed, it was now a good time to close the net.
Is it going to be a surprise attack? Pooh! I'm afraid the enemy has discovered that something is wrong.
Stepping on the snow-covered slope, Otto drew his sword. Accompanied by the hum of the sword sound, he roared: "Rose! Attack!"
With this order, those who were still slowly advancing speeded up their running speed, and at the same time they used their swords or axes to beat their wooden shields to gain momentum.
"Huh?! Is it already fighting?!"
After a pause, Rurik, who had already established a "blocking position" on the hillside, could not help panicking when he heard the shouts from his clan.
Jeflo can comfort him: "Master, don't worry about anything. I will protect you."
"Protect me? Am I still a girl?"
Jeflo deliberately teased, "Oh, my master. If you continue to throw loose hair and put on one-piece sackcloth, it is indeed a bit feminine."
"Dressing up as a woman? It's fun, if it makes my brothers happy. But I'm a man, and I have to prove myself in this battle." Rurik immediately drew his dagger and pointed it straight at the top of the hill. Bonfire. "Brothers, string the crossbow and wait for my firing order."
Rurik has already begun preparations.
His twenty crossbowmen were divided into two rows, and each row was relatively open. They formed a linear array about 20 meters in length. The first row was half kneeling and the second row stood.
The thirty hunters holding bows in the team formed a tighter group. After all, the current short wooden bow of the Ross people really don't expect it to give the arrow range. Besides the long arrows in the hunter's hand, many arrow clusters are sharpened small animal leg bones, set on long branches. Such a bad arrow shoots and kills small animals, and it is weak to face the enemy in leather armor.
Rurik hopes that the archer throws the archery arrow to create chaos, and the crossbowman is the main force of resistance!
His idea was perfect before he touched the enemy, but Jeflo was not relieved. At this moment, Yevlo seemed to be a military adviser, and asked all the soldiers to put their swords and short spears in the snow. The so-called once the enemy broke through the arrow array, they would draw up their weapons and fight. In particular, there are only twenty fighters left. They are all standard sword and shield fighters. They are the first to launch a melee attack due to a short time difference before the crossbowmen are transformed into melee infantry.
Jeflo himself is also mentally prepared, even if he is injured, he must protect Rurik. This is not only to follow one's own professional qualities, but also to be grateful for being reused.
The preparations on Rurik's side were ready, and the battle had begun on the top of the hill he couldn't see.
The people who lit the bonfire were not the legendary Tavastias at all.
But it is also the first time that the Ross people have learned of such a term from Evlo.
Otto can't manage that much. In the current situation, it's not his own person or the enemy. The enemy is the enemy, and it is enough to leave two live mouths to ask their identities. All the Ross warriors can distinguish the enemy from us perfectly, the reason is that they put on the bronze leather helmets between each other.
As for the enemy? They didn't seem to find them in their camp from the very beginning, and they were spotted by powerful enemies.
The enemy's slow reaction speed made Otto sneer.
"We gave you the opportunity to prepare, and you are just waking up like a dream."
At the beginning of the battle, Bolaoto personally fought with a sword, and the young warriors under his command had already fought bravely.
A short alien wearing a cotton hat was stabbed by the bright white steel sword of the Rose.
And those who just heard the terrible roar, this is the alien who got out of the tent temporarily wearing a leather jacket, then they just picked up their stone spear, and even the simple hammer, they saw a large group of tall and strong The people rushed over.
More than a dozen aliens took the lead to start an instinctive counterattack. It was the rapid impact of the Ruths that made it impossible for the aliens to fight back with a short wooden bow and archery.
They crooked and fired some arrows. Just as the Ross people had estimated at the beginning, arrows made of bones, unless they blind the Ross people's eyes, except that bone arrows have only harassment meaning.
Seeing that the usefulness of the arrow is insignificant, the alien warrior tried to attack the armored Ross warrior with a stone spear. The obsidian spear can inflict deep scars on the Ross wooden shield, and the damage is basically the same. The young and strong Ross warrior wielded the steel sword he bought with a lot of money, and cut off a head with just one critical strike.
Another alien attacked with a hammer. However, their bodies were shorter than the Ruth. They fell into the snow when they were hit hard by the Ruth warrior, and were immediately killed by the sword.
The so-called battle is really a one-stroke reduction of ten skills. Besides, when it comes to combat, Otto will pick out the veterans who have killed the Gotland warriors.
What happened on the hill was basically a one-sided battle. In terms of body size, physical stamina, weapons and equipment, and even the number of troops and organization, the two sides were not in the same order of magnitude.
Otto originally thought the enemy was very strong, but the reality was that the Rus were abusing food.
A middle-aged man wearing a hat stitched from a large amount of squirrel skin is the leader of the entire alien who lights the campfire.
From the beginning of the battle, he was sentenced to failure, and the boss felt that he was going to move his head, but Desperate actually survived. Well-equipped attackers, why didn't they fight from the west?
Indeed, from the perspective of the boss, fleeing to the west is the only way out. Because there, invincible guards.
After a few words that the Ross people could not understand, the aliens in leather were left, and they began to carry their weapons, mainly short spears and hammers. A few people picked up the bow temporarily, but the arrows were all shot, and they simply removed the bowstring and used the bow as a stick.
They began to run towards the west and down the mountain.
The leader led more than 30 people on the road to the so-called safe escape.
It seems that as long as you escape fast enough to abandon the baby you had previously caught, the attacker will definitely patronize the baby, won't you be safe? Treasures are important or small lives are important. The boss and his guys, it's important to choose to save their lives.
However, Rurik and his seventy special warriors have already put out a battle formation and waited for them!
The boss never dreamed that his subordinates not only did not come to life in desperate circumstances, but many people would die suddenly if they were unexplained.
The suddenness of his death is really incredible.
