Those Karelians seem to be young?

Do not. They just fled to the north. After the winter pasture was settled down, the rest of their lives learned from the pain, and plans for revenge were also being planned.

The old chief died in desperation while fleeing, and his son Kascuwe was elected as the new chief by the refugees.

The strength of the "Great Account" tribe is not there, but its influence still exists.

The old chief made some plans for his son before his death, but Kascuwei followed the wishes of the people and made a decision that went against his father.

revenge! Revenge must be made! Revenge is even more early!

The priest who spread defeatist remarks was killed by his own hands. There was no failure and decadence among the refugees. After the first winter after fleeing, they began to fight back.

The first step to fight back is marriage.

Chief Kascuwe brought his cronies to the "small tent" tribe to propose marriages, and the proposal went smoother than he thought. Since the two parties are traditional allies, the "small account" has long been afraid of the "big account". A young man who succeeded the chief also specially came to propose marriage. The marriage must be done.

Kascuwe married the daughter of "Small Tent", and only after the raw rice was cooked did he tell the head of the "Small Tent" a terrible truth.

The "big tent" tribe suffered huge losses in the powerful Southern Russ war. The sacred bear altar was seized and the large camp Isotarva was slaughtered. The tribe’s middle-aged people have suffered huge losses, and the reindeer that they depend on for their livelihoods have also suffered huge losses. The tribe that once had a large population now has only one-fifth of its original size...

His description is very real, and when you think about it, no chief really wants his strength to be greatly weakened.

For a moment, the leader of the "small account" felt that he had been cheated.

Because each other's alliance is based on the powerful "big account", it is now impossible for the other party to deter the two allies of "small account" and "dong account" from the perspective of strength, but their daughter has been married.

The news spread like wildfire, and some elites of the "small account" tribe were ready to move. They don't know what the Ross people are, maybe they are just a group of strong people, but the "big account" is the strong one right in front of them!

In the past, the tribes always wanted to send tribute to each other. The "Great Account" tribe is a group of blood-suckers. While they are strong, they are also weak in sustainability.

Some elites expressed deep emotions: "Why should we respect that Kascuwe as the great chief? My sister is married and we have to provide a batch of reindeer. It is unreasonable. Now we are stronger!"

Therefore, the speaker is the eldest son of the current leader of the "small account" tribe. With his power and prestige, he is basically the default next leader.

He decided to act first, bypassing his ambiguous father, and organizing an assassination of Kascuweilai by his capable cronies.

But he never expected that Cascuway would go against his father's decision this time, and he consciously used brutal means to get what he wanted.

On the contrary, Kascuwe was the first to attack the battalion commander of the elites of the "little account" tribe, and carried out a dark night attack on the family of the leader.

The **** night has passed, and the "small account" tribe has changed.

Kascuwe's newlywed wife screamed and cried, and hammered her husband shamelessly in front of the corpses all over the floor.

On the other hand, Cascuway, his face was calm as a stone. He deliberately spared the old leader's life, and in the face of his questioning, he deliberately explained: "This is a necessary sin! From then on, there is only the Great Tent tribe, and your tribe no longer exists. I will treat your tribe well, and I will rule all the tribes. Reorganize the army to fight against the Ruth invaders, the hateful Tavastias, and the hateful Suomis."

The Karelian society has undergone a major political reshuffle, which is entirely due to the huge disaster brought about by the barbaric attack of the Rus Duchy. The Karelians who are still in the tribal alliance stage completed the upgrade of the emirate within one year. .

Kascuwe called all the frightened herders in the small account tribe. He declared that he was the "chief of all deer breeders", claiming that this was the power that God bestowed on him, and God also gave him a great mission.

"The alien Russ are in the south of the Great Lake. They want to take away our deer and pastures, kill all the men and children, and use women as slaves. They are already doing this and hoarding an army by the lake. I want to unite all the deer breeders and organize a huge army to wipe out all the Ross people."

In the spring of 835, he announced the establishment of the "Emirate of Karelia", Kascuwe was the country's first warchief, and the position of the chieftain would begin hereditary.

What choice can the masses of herders have? To graze in this bitter cold land, the herders are willing to pay tribute to the strong, as long as the strong promises to protect everyone's safety.

The "little tent" tribe disappeared overnight, the herdsmen became Kascuwe's subjects, and the men swore allegiance to the strong one. As for those hapless killed, they saw the Cascuwis bury them.

After Kascuwe succeeded, the remnants of the "big tent" tribe drove the reindeer herd from the winter pasture to the traditional territory of the "small tent" tribe that had been delisted, and the population of Kaskwe was finally restored to the size of 10,000. Can summon up to three thousand combat power. What is a warrior? As long as the boy has the ability to draw a bow and shoot arrows, he is a warrior. Therefore, the so-called three thousand army has a huge amount of water, and in the face of the powerful Ross invaders, Kascuwe has no good countermeasures.

The inferiority of the soldier's personal abilities and weapons should be made up for with the superiority of the troops, right?

In the summer of 835, in the remote north, which is now the territory of the Republic of Karelia, the indigenous Karelians were spontaneously carrying out a large-scale integration of power.

The old leader of the "Small Tent" tribe died unexplainably one night, and Kascuwe's wife knew that the murderer was actually her husband. However, this woman is not a fool, Kascuwe will die, and his son is very likely to become the king of all Karelians!

This man made a great decision, and an army of two thousand rushed to the "East Account" tribe. He abdicated the tribal leader and announced that the "East Account" tribe disappeared and became part of the emirate.

As for the time when the leader of the "East Account" tribe died without understanding, no one cared anymore.

Cascuway's integration movement continues, and this time he continues to incorporate more eastern people from the east.

They reached the shore of Lake Onega and swept all the small tribes along the shore. These residents do not have a unified self-proclaimed name at all. Although they have formed a large number of small communities with only a few dozen or more than a hundred people, they do not have their own names at all.

Cascuway’s idea is simple. The environment here is a bit like Lake Ladoga, and the residents of Lake Onega are simply called the Vips. The reason for this is only because the real Vips once surrendered to him. He needs the surrender of the Vips.

Cascuwe spent the entire warm summer recruiting troops to buy horses, and encouraged herders to immediately immigrate to the shores of Lake Ladoga, where the aquatic plants are better.

The results of his "armed operations" even exceeded the prediction, and greatly increased the knowledge of the Karelians accompanying him.

The world is so vast, people walking eastward in the frigid forests and encounter another group of people-Perm people.

This term directly refers to the concept of "exchange" in Old Finnish, but there are not many Permians, and they do not have a dominant tribe, but a dense family of herders and clans. The "Perm" market exchanges daily necessities. There are almost no outsiders in their world, so they all call themselves "Perm".

Kascuwe’s army came, although there were only five hundred soldiers left when they rushed to the Perm area for various reasons. Cascuway personally led the team and rushed to the Perm bazaar. The emirate's warchief came to a scattered clan society. This concept is like the Rus Principality army beating the emirate.

The warchief has lived as his most hated enemy, but it is very effective. He won't be able to put up with as many as two thousand people and hundreds of thousands of reindeer!

The Karelians are worthy of the little overlords of the northern icefields. Among them, the organizational mobilization power of the founders is indeed stronger. This is also the reason why they have been able to beat the Finnish tribes such as Tavastia and Suomi in the past.

The expansion of the emirate of Karelia is not at all for Kascuwe to demonstrate his power. He hopes that his subjects will gather more and more, and only with more troops can he recover the land and dignity lost from the Rus.

The troops marching east returned to the pasture at the junction of Lake Ladoga and Lake Onega in late autumn. At this time, even the local Ludi tribe declared their allegiance to the Chief of the Emirate.

The assembly order was issued after the first snowfall in winter. According to Kascuwe's order, all the men in the emirate who can draw the bowstrings are fighters and must be assembled in the new camp.

He began to count his troops, facing an army of as many as 6,000 men, and finally recovered his lost confidence.

It's just that these 6,000 people are full of water, and there are only 4,000 men who are truly capable of fighting.

How can Karelians living in the north and south of the Arctic Circle rely on their frigid animal husbandry to support a large number of people? Their ancestors were indeed residents of North Asia. In ancient times, they followed the footsteps of reindeer from the woodlands of Central and Siberia to the present area and entered the period of the Great Separatism in Europe. The Karelians are only a part of them, but they are also very much occupied. Bad location. It's not like their blood relatives and dear Sanyas are growing wheat, and it's not like their relatives, the Magyars, who have become a populous cavalry nation.

Such strength has been enough to carry Kascuwe's self-confidence, the power is in the hands of the army, and everyone is calling for a war, and launching a counter-war is also the fundamental reason for the people's support for his rule.

Cascuwe subjectively hopes to have a decisive battle with the Ross, but he is very likely to suffer a head-on confrontation.

It would be great if they could pull out their stronghold and win the initial victory.

They were supposed to perform the winter solstice sacrifice at the bear altar, but now they can only do it in the new camp. The sacrificial ceremony became an opportunity for the army to gather. He quietly provoked and selected two thousand people, and after the ceremony ended, he began a counterattack. Goal, bear altar!

Naturally, they first arrived in Isotalva, where the Karelian army, which mixed multiple communities, discovered densely packed human skeletons under the snow.

People are first afraid, then angry.

A chieftain asked sensibly: "Warchief, the Rus are so fierce, how should we deal with it?"

What tricks Cascuwe could have? The bones on the ground shocked him, but he must maintain a strong attitude before his men: "The Ross invaders built a fortress at the bear altar, and we have to take it. According to previous battles, Ross Human arrows are very strong, so this time we have prepared more arrows. We will definitely be able to demolish their fortresses by relying on the advantages of arrows, and kill all enemies mercilessly by then."

He was to rely on his strength to complete his first victory, just as the Zulu army besieged the British army's stronghold.

The Ross hunter hunting squirrel skin encountered a lot of active "black skin". It seemed to be a bear and not like a bear. When he realized that it was a potential enemy, the hunter retreated immediately.

The two sides have actually discovered each other, and Kascuweiben did not even think about hiding the army's actions. Seeing this situation, he gave an order: "Catch me!"

Ross hunters withdrew back to the wooden fort in Bear Festival Town. Someone frantically beat buckskin drums to attract everyone's attention.

The Ross hunters and fishermen turned into warriors. They were warriors, and the winter period was the busiest period in Bear Festival Town. After the winter festival in Shilla Fort, there were more than 50 Ross people and 100 Slavs. People, and even fifty Suomi people, arrived in Bear Festival Town on a sled to plunder the local small animal resources.

The war threatened this emerging city. There are as many as 400 settlers in the entire city. The men together made a major decision and issued a very simple statement: "This is the territory laid by the Principality of Rus, even if the battle is in the end. No one can lose it!"

Women and children were evacuated in an emergency, and some men who were actually older were also forcibly persuaded to leave. More than a hundred people had to leave the town of Bear Festival. They rode sleighs on the frozen Ladoga Lake, just to rush to Shilla Fort.

What is the enemy's strength? There may be a thousand people or more.

At least the enemy's purpose is obviously to destroy the fortress, then they must pay the price of blood!

The Principality of Ross mobilized 250 combatable men in the town of Bear Festival. Since they were almost all hunters, almost everyone held a bow. Not only short wooden bows, but also a batch of wooden-arm crossbow equipment, and even heavy-duty individual equipment such as steel-arm crossbows specially used for bear hunting.

As early as spending on the construction of settlements, Rurik thought of the issue of urban preparedness. The Karelian border has not been eliminated, and the existence of Bear Sacrifice Town itself is an insult to the enemy. It is also a gathering place for the next crusade against the enemy, and it must be a defensive issue.

The hunters only need leather, and as for the meat, they will be kept in reserve. There are also a batch of wheat and frozen fish in Xiongji Town. Although there were more than two hundred people in the fortress, everyone prepared a lot of food for hunting, and even bought some flatbreads in Shilla Fort during the Great Sacrifice.

People are confident and their food reserves are enough to withstand a month-long blizzard, so it is not a problem to withstand the enemy's siege for a month.

Based on their own experience, the prince would take at least fifteen days before and after getting news to gather reinforcements.

Fifteen to twenty days, a critical period for the guardian!

On the other hand, Chief Kascuwe’s imperial conquest, however, his 2,000-man army is not monolithic. Many tribes and densely packed clan communities recognized his power, and the composition of the army was also very complicated. Soldiers lacked the usual tacit understanding. As for attacking the Rus, they did not have a clear concept of death, but they all wanted to be after the war Grab some ironware.

The news that the Ruths possessed a large number of iron weapons spread like wildfire, which almost wiped out half of people's fear of the enemy.

A group of troops dressed in buckskins, armed with short spears, throwing spears, skinned wooden shields, and a large number of bows and arrows began to appear on the snow-covered grassland outside Bear Sacrifice Town. The Ross army, waiting to work, relied on wooden walls and sentry towers to prepare for defense. Combat.

The crossbow has been wound, and the torsion slingshots placed at the corners of the tower and fortress have also been charged. Many people do not have armor at all, so they use deerskin and bear skins as temporary defenses for the time being.

They hid behind the wall to keep absolutely quiet, making the entire fortress almost empty.

This situation made Kascuwe difficult, but fortunately this Karelian army was reckless.

Compared with the Rose Guardians, the hostile Karelian fighters have more hunting experience, and lack the concept of fighting.

Someone murmured: "Perhaps the Ross people were scared away. Their main force is not here, so they are worried that they are not strong enough to flee overnight."

Some people say this, and some people want to test it.

Cascuway dispatched a hundred people to approach the wooden fort from all directions, and just as it approached the trench, the hidden Ross guardian suddenly appeared.

The crossbow and the torsion slingshot are the first to shoot accurately, and then the bow arrow strikes in random.

The Karelian scout troops suffered a loss, and they fled. For the sake of glory, Kascuwe ordered the entire army to attack.

Two thousand people besieged the two hundred and five wooden fort? In principle, "ten times the attack" is the correct tactic, but how are the weaponry and fighting will of both sides at one level? One hundred Slavic warriors among the Guardians are not good at archery, but they are also spearmen who have fought fierce battles in the flag team. The good food and drink over the years has differentiated them from other Slavs and become robust.

Most of Ross's people wield crossbows, and the Suomi people are also good archers.

Of course, the Karelians and Suomi are of the same origin, and both are good archers. After surrendering to the Duchy of Ross, Suomi hunters are fully equipped with iron arrow clusters, and they can even buy a lot in the market!

In contrast to the Karelian army, the army assembled by Chief Kascuwe is still using bone clusters extensively.

On the first day of the battle, the Karelians took down more than 50 bodies and pulled more than 100 wounded in various situations to retreat.

On the third day, a new round of offense began. Cascuway made some wooden shields **** with small tree trunks to continue the attack. This time they successfully reached the trench, but suffered a loss in the offensive of climbing the wooden wall.

On the seventh day, this is already the third round of offense! Arrows have become the main weapon to attack each other. The Karelian army has fallen to the method of throwing arrows to create damage. As for what kind of results can be achieved, it is impossible to predict. The offensive has become more of a catharsis, and the Karelians have also learnt about warfare in the war, and now there are no reckless men who brave precise arrows to rush.

At this time, a small snowstorm hit ~www.readwn.com~ The cold finally forced Chief Kascuwe to calm down. So far he has lost two hundred people, some who died in battle, some who were seriously injured, and more than 300 people who were slightly injured by arrows.

Some people thought of retreating, and they were killed on the charge of disturbing the military's morale by the warchief.

A small fortress could not be attacked for a long time. The chieftain came up because of his love for a battle. He decided to move in reinforcements from the rear. Before the army arrived, the existing army was besieging the bear altar, in order to try to launch a general offensive when the enemy was exhausted because of hunger.

However, Rose's blue banner with a white background was flying in the cold wind, and the existence of the banner was the worst mockery.

More than 20 people were injured in the three battles of the fortress guards, and two hapless guys were shot through the neck and died. On the other hand, some corpses fell in the trenches, and the enemy was even unable to collect the corpses.

Let them continue the siege!

Some of the warriors who had been nervous are now fighting spirits, and the Karelians once again showed their ugliness to the fullest.

The Ross guards seem to be able to take the initiative to attack out of the city in person, and the reckless ones will do so. The guards just want to wait for work. Everyone knows that the prince had already made preparations for asking Karelia again, and the uninvited enemy was just an opportunity!
