Chapter 591: Raiding the Population

In addition to the gnolls who were trying to approach the fortress, in other directions, in the more precipitous direction of the castle, countless pale-faced humans, unclothed with rudimentary weapons and sacks full of sand, dirt and stones, charged forward.

While the Scandinavians were dealing with the frontal attack of the gnolls, they had these humans, captives from the Scandinavian Empire, attack from the flanks, not expecting them to achieve any decent results, only that they could consume the enemy's morale, ammunition, and traps that had already been prepared.

The Scandinavians who were fighting back in the city also recognized the situation at this time, and knew that the situation was now urgent to the point of life and death, and whether it was men or old people, children and women, they began to stand on the city walls and fight back with all their efforts.

They kept pushing the rounded stones off the walls, which were abundant in the Norwegian mountains, and rolled down the slope to make a path of blood and bone.

Screams rang out one after another, and from time to time Scandinavians who wanted to escape were shot by the Overseers in the rear, with the clear purpose of dying, even if they were going to die, in the moat, to fill the river that was not completely frozen and still flowing, with their own corpses and the sacks they carried behind their backs.

This is the beginning of a large-scale and tragic war, and in the Northlands, the eyes of all the forces are focused on this, whether the Scandinavians will hold on until the collapse of the Attila Empire, or whether the Attila Empire will win before the collapse, and pursue the second victory with the first victory, some people expect the latter, but most people want the end of the former.

-------------

At this time, under the blowing of the cold wind, the original lush green began to turn yellow, at this rate, in another week, these grasses will be completely dry, and the white ice and snow will completely dominate this place.

At this time when the Scandinavians were fighting fiercely with the Attilas, there was also a war in this land thousands of kilometers away from the battlefield, but one of the protagonists was replaced by the Baltic Empire, the centaur troops of the Baltic Empire.

No way, in the winter of the previous year, because of some stupid ideas, Siegel asked the Snow Mountain Druid, who had been reconciled with great difficulty, to come here to carry out the sabotage of the logistics supply line of the Attila Empire.

Not to mention how much success can be achieved by making the snow mountain druids who are not familiar with the terrain and environment go to war, let's just say that the few legendary druid elders who died here are absolute failures.

The relationship between the two sides, which was finally reconciled a little, once again fell into the freezing point, completely making those snow-capped druids disappointed in the Scandinavian Empire, to be precise, they have already felt hopeless about Siegel and will not give any trust at all.

When the war began again, the snowy druids who no longer trusted Siegel decided to fight the invasion of the Attila Empire in their own way, at least they thought that it was better to operate in the eastern part of Scandinavia than in the Rus' steppe and Novgorod that they were more familiar with, and that they could achieve more and more brilliant results.

In the land of Scandinavia, there are people who are willing to help them to expel the invaders, not only the original people who originally lived here, but also the stupid trolls and ogres, jackals and snow leopards, white dragons and snow monsters, mammoths and white bears, have joined the druids' camp, they do not like the Atila who invade their land, but they also do not like the Scandinavians led by Siegel.

We don't need to pay attention to the war in Scandinavia, most Scandinavians will never compromise on their homeland, and they will not compromise their faith for the sake of their homeland.

We continued to set our eyes on the Rus steppe, galloping on this steppe was the centaur, they were galloping on the steppe in teams of five, and they were galloping to their heart's content, with cold faces and cold eyes.

These centaurs are not strangers to this land, many of them have lived in this land for a long time, this is their home for generations, but now they have come to this land where they once lived, grew and lived as invaders.

The centaurs wear light armor that provides them with the necessary protection without affecting their speed and dexterity, even if they are attacked by the caster.

The centaurs maintained a blistering speed, and in such high-speed movements, they could still maintain their formation, which would never have been seen on Attila's army.

The nature of the Attila Empire determined that they would not, and could not, produce such an orderly army, and the ships that were driven by fear and oppression would never reach the end of the sea.

The Centaurs' enemies were also Centaurs, their kind, who were still under the control of the Attila Empire, dressed in barely obscured leather clothes, armed with spears sharpened by wood and bone, and who were shouting a jumble of slogans and trying to rush forward against the invaders.

The centaurs from the Baltic Empire, facing these people who are all the same except for their clothes, do not have any pity in their eyes, and after education and study in the Baltic Empire, their thinking has reached another level.

They no longer distinguish races by physical structure, but by spirituality, and only those who have the same values, worldview, and outlook on life as them, who have the same interests, the same beliefs, and gather on the same banner are their true race.

All other bloodlines, structures, and clans are all false, untrustworthy, and untrustworthy lies, and the facts of the past have proven these to be lies.

Now these centaurs on the other side just happen to have the same physical structure as them, because of the difference in thinking, they will not show the slightest mercy when attacking.

The centaurs living in the steppes of Ross were very poor, they did not even have decent weapons, even if they were excellent in archery, even if they were extremely talented in throwing javelins, they could not do anything without ammunition.

It is impossible for them to throw the only weapon left in their hands as a throwing weapon, because those who can survive in such a cruel environment as the Rus steppe understand a truth, and those who do not have weapons in their hands have already stepped into the underworld with half a foot.

Therefore, at this time, they want to attack these, they have forgotten the glory that Attila brought them before, choose to betray, choose to escape, and throw themselves into the betrayers of the Baltic Empire, to give these betrayers the most cruel and cruel time, they can only choose the most primitive tactics, trying to drive them together and encircle and annihilate.

Although this tactic will increase their casualties, and they need to deal with the enemy's counterattack before they die, but the past experience, the experience of hunting wolves, has made them understand that this approach is the most effective.

"Shoot"

There is no need to even count down, with just one look, the centaurs have completed a perfect cooperation, and one arrow after another accurately hit the enemy, even if they can't hit the vital point because of the accuracy, but in such a high-speed run, the loss of balance caused by the severe pain makes them turn the bones and flesh of their bodies into a ball at the moment they fall.

"Dodge, dodge, dodge, don't give them a chance to hit. ”

Of course, the centaurs know about the centaurs, and the archery of the centaurs is extremely famous throughout the Northland, but it is only the archery skills that are famous, not the accuracy of the archery, just like those centaurs who are hit, as long as they can endure the pain and do not panic, they still have the ability to continue fighting.

Is it possible? Hit by an arrow, which has a blood groove on the top of the arrow that can be bled on, can these untrained centaurs endure such pain in high-speed running, and can overcome the conditioned reflexes of their bodies?

Probably, there is such an existence among the centaurs, but such a existence is too rare, one round of arrow rain, two rounds of arrow rain, three rounds of arrow rain, hundreds of pursuits, trying to drive the enemy into the encirclement of the centaurs, only less than thirty people can act.

And among the thirty, there was really no one unscathed, their bodies were full of arrows, arms, arms, abdomen, chest, calves, blood kept flowing through the blood grooves on the arrows, staining their clothes red.

They were not far from death, and even if they pulled the arrows out of their wounds, with their current medical conditions, they would not be able to save their lives.

If they could, they would certainly be willing to engage these enemies at a distance, believing that the skills they had cultivated since they had been hunting would not be inferior to those of these betrayers who had abandoned their faith in order to survive.

No, in this familiar grassland, they have absolute confidence, even the same centaurs as them, can never be their opponents, in fact they are almost successful, not far away another group of centaurs have completed the encirclement, as long as the enemy is in the pocket, can be victorious.

"Left, third formation, second plan. ”

Through the magic device that is constantly on the edge of the helmet, the voice of the centaur commander clearly reaches the ears of every centaur, so that all centaurs can communicate freely within a range of three kilometers, accept orders from their superiors, and report the situation, as long as they do not encounter something that will cause strong interference, there is no big problem.

Because in the middle of a battle, lengthy orders will not be able to deal with unexpected situations and will make the bad situation worse, so the Baltic Empire has set up more than a dozen plans on this issue, each with different variations, for commanders to use to deal with flexible situations.

The centaurs, having received orders from their commanders, began to change formation, and some of the densers became scattered, and they put away their longbows and removed the javelins that were behind them.

The centaurs didn't know why the Centaur had given the order to abandon the longbow to destroy the remaining enemies and instead use a powerful weapon like the javelin, which had a low accuracy rate.

However, I don't understand that this matter has nothing to do with their obedience to orders, and the training has made them engrave the principles of obeying orders and obeying orders in their bones.

There was a commotion in front of the centaurs, and they did not expect that they had just taken up their positions and were ready to encircle and fight a battle of annihilation, and they would need to face the situation of their comrades being wiped out and facing an unscathed enemy themselves.

Is such an enemy really something they can defeat?

If you continue to fight, you will only get death and defeat in the end.

The low morale of the country at this time became the most terrible plague that spread immediately among the demihumans of these Rus' steppes, and fear dispelled their anger and war, leaving even their tribes and their relatives not far away.

"Run!"

When the enemy they considered to be about three hundred meters away from them from the Baltic Empire, the centaurs were demoralized, and they turned around quickly to escape the place and save their lives.

Sharp cracks of the air followed, javelins piercing their bodies, pinning them deep into the soft grassland, and after two rounds of javelins, there were less than double digits left of the centaurs who could move.

In the sky, the voice of the vultures echoed, and they couldn't wait to come and enjoy a delicious meal.

In the surrounding grass, there are faint jackals, which is a delicacy before the blizzard, and they will not give up this delicacy, because this food can make them more sure to survive the cold winter of the Northland.

"We surrender, we surrender, please don't want our tribe, we are willing to submit to the great Baltic Empire, we are willing to be the slaves of the great ***. ”

At that moment, an old centaur rushed out of the tribal camp with his hands raised high, shouting loudly, naked, with no weapons or equipment on his body, with a panicked expression on his face.

……

The centaurs from the Baltic Empire looked at each other and nodded, in fact, this was what they wanted, and the change from bows and arrows to javelins was also to break the morale of the other party.

They came to the Rus' steppe to fight the enemy, not just to fight the enemy, but also to earn profits for the Baltic Empire, of which the population was the most important part.
