The Ross people are actually very close to the battlefield. No, he can hear the enemy's clamor very clearly.

"We are Danes! Don't act rashly, you Gotlandians, you can't break the peace."

Hearing it, Carl burst out laughing: "Hahaha! You scumbags. Me! Invincible Carl, the doomed King of Sweden, I want to kill you!"

In fact, the Voskas and the Danes should do the same, even if the formation is messy, they should fight desperately, so that they have a chance to drive the invaders into the sea.

However, after a period of time, the unsteady Mellaren army settled down and was fully prepared for battle, and the ships of the allied army in the rear were clearly visible.

"Brothers! Attack!"

When Carl gave the order, the Mellaren Army spontaneously shouted chants and pushed the shield wall more neatly, and the battle officially broke out!

The next battle is a fierce battle with a sense of order in chaos.

The long-handled axe of the Mellaren Army fell from the sky and suddenly smashed the enemy's head, and the spearheads of the soldiers in the back row had been madly poking forward.

The well-equipped soldiers in black, Olekin was pleased to see that the private soldiers he supported had really exploded into a powerful combat force. Although some private soldiers died, the entire front was still stable.

The performance of the recruited peasant soldiers also surprised him. This group of poorly equipped guys who used a large number of short spears together became a powerful force.

The Mellaren army has been advancing slowly and spontaneously spread to the wings.

There were a large number of Voskars fighters defending their homeland, but they had never encountered such a battle. The enemy's strength is too much, and many people have been stabbed to death by their spears. If they continue to fight, they may be wiped out.

When I think of my wife and children, and see the murdered relatives and friends, their morale collapses without persisting for a long time.

A group of people began to flee with their weapons, and it was precisely at this moment that the rest of the coalition forces finally arrived!

Originally, Danish mercenaries could still struggle to maintain a battle line relying on heavy armor, and a group of unruly Voskars fighters also insisted. Unexpectedly, more enemies will be killed suddenly, they have already landed in unguarded places!

Realizing that the battle in the port persisted, and the grandmaster wearing thick armor would inevitably end in annihilation of the entire army, the Danish mercenaries had to put down their fallen companions and began to fight while retreating.

A huge fighter plane was placed in front of him, realizing that the friendly army had landed, and the next step was to win the battle with his own. Karl gritted his teeth and ordered his tired subordinates to fight again.

He roared in the chaos army: "Take their fort and tear down their walls! The wheat, meat, and women are all yours!"

This is what Mellaren’s fighters need. They are now playing a group of landing pirates. Don’t talk about their ideals. These guys are not only tired but also hungry. Even if it’s for food, they have to win quickly. .

The Mellaren Army took the lead in the active pursuit, and behind it, another two thousand friendly soldiers attacked separately.

Carl and Olekin felt it was a waste of time to looting the houses of ordinary residents. "A lowly person is a lowly person. He puts the enemy's gold and silver mountains without grabbing them, and actually focuses on the common people's copper coins." Although Olekin himself is behind his own camp, he feels that his arrogant son Karl is now a "sunset". God of War".

At least in terms of fighting, Carl showed all the qualities of a brave general, and the current combat Melaren Army needs such a strong commander.

It can be said that the old Olekin made a good decision.

Look! The brothers are already climbing the **** and attacking their fortress.

Fort Voskars, located on a mound, is a typical early medieval castle. The original purpose of building it by the locals was to enclose a safe area with a wooden wall. It must have the ability to resist wind and snow and also block the enemy's attack.

In fact, their most direct motive for building the castle was that in the summer two years ago, the coalition organized by the Danish leader went north along the Kalmar Strait to fight against the enemy in the north. Although the huge army did not stop at Voskars for supplies, the strong lineup Everyone in the entire settlement is in danger.

They carefully expanded the inherent wooden wall to suppress everyone's inner worries, but the war came.

The morale of the Voskars warriors who fleeed first collapsed. They entered from the front entrance of the fort with a strong panic, and told the women, children and wealthy merchants of the enemy's terrible things.

Until now, they don't even know the specific identity of the attacker, but a small merchant from Gotland who was trapped into the fort to buy wool guessed part of the fact-it may be that the guys in the north have got revenge.

A large number of their own armed men withdrew in, but Danish merchants who knew they could not evacuate had to bite the bullet and defend their fortress.

Obese businessmen stood on the scaffolding of the wooden wall, calling with a strong voice: "Don’t be afraid, everyone! At least we still have a solid wall, they can’t destroy the wall! We hold on! We have a lot of food, and we will give it to You guys! Fight for your women and children!"

The businessman is very smart. He emphasized the solidity of the "wall" and promised to distribute food to everyone. As for defending one's wealth and family, it is a man's share.

The panicked people calmed down, and warriors with spears and bows stepped onto the scaffolding.

In fact, there are two small gates in Fort Worth, where women and children can evacuate quietly. However, women are unwilling to take their children to retreat. This is not because they are loyal, or the means to see the enemy is to kill indiscriminately, and the enemy's strength is beyond imagination. Leaving the fort is not only not fleeing, but being caught and killed by them.

Instead of dying like that, it is better to defend the city with her husband.

However, the Vorskas fighters who had recovered their morale were ready to defend the city resolutely. Standing on the wooden wall, they saw Danish fighters fleeing under the setting sun, as well as large-scale enemies!

Voskas was in tears because they saw their long house on fire. Those invaders are like monsters emerging from the sea. They don't know what they have done wrong, and they have suffered such a catastrophe today.

At the same time, the attacking tribal warriors such as Anklas and Yilmalun were sweeping the enemy's house. Sure enough, they found many dried fish that they didn't take away, and filling their stomachs became the top priority instead of continuing to fight.

There were also soldiers who didn't find food and useful things, so they set fire to vent their anger!

The burning longhouse became a special light source, and they moved towards the wooden fort as a whole, so they walked all the way and burned all the way. The landing soldiers swarmed on the "burning road", and there was no time to take care of the dead bodies of the enemies, the dying enemies, and even the wounded on their own side.

Was seriously injured in the battle? Oh! That is fate, and no one can refuse the death given by God.

The attacking troops lying on the ground were all the Mellaren Army, and there were still as many as 50 casualties in the **** battle just now.

As the opponents of the Danish Army and Voskars Army retreated, the so-called falling behind means being killed. They have already killed more than 200 people.

There were barely five hundred people who fled back to the wooden fort. Even the brave Danish mercenaries who claimed to be fighting in their lives had never joined the battle of today until they entered the wooden fort and saw that the heavy wooden door was closed. I just let go of my heart a little bit.

It was not the time to rest. Two hundred mercenaries escaped, barely a hundred people, and the rest were killed.

The Danish businessman was shocked by the fact that the thugs he had armed to the teeth could not help fighting so much, and when he was angry, he had to continue to order them to defend.

This actually does not mean that the Danish mercenaries are the weak, and their coalition has only 700 people. The Mellaren Army alone has twice the strength of their troops, better weapons and equipment, and a set of rules for combat. That is, Karl unconsciously launched a pincer attack along the battlefield, frightening the enemy's morale to collapse.

Those who fled into the fort had only a moment of breathing, and the attackers were already on the ground.

Siege? How to siege the city? !

Carl the red-eyed killer carried its enemy's blood-stained sword and pointed it directly at the wooden door of the enemy's fortress: "Brothers! Break it open for me! Other braves, climb the wall for me!"

The core of the so-called Fort Worscar is more than thirty thick tree stumps that are deeply inserted into the ground. Then a large number of thin tree stumps are interlaced and tied with twine to form a four-sided wooden wall with thick wooden stakes as the base point.

It can be said that its weakest place is the wooden door, and Karl and the majority of Mellaren fighters can see this weakness.

No, there are forest loggers conscripted in, holding their huge two-handed axes, and rushing toward the wooden door aggressively.

A group of "black warriors" hurriedly followed up. They held up their bucklers and yelled while resisting the stones, clay pots, and even wood thrown down by the enemy on the wooden wall.

The average height of the wooden wall barely reaches four meters. What is such a height?

There are brave warriors who are good at climbing, carrying wooden shields and swords in their mouths, climbing up like monkeys clasping the gaps in the wooden wall. The brave's companions raised their swords and spears to cheer, and a small number of archers approached, shooting arrows at the enemy on the wall, but the effect was negligible.

None of the brave who climbed the wall succeeded. The warriors under the city hoped that the brave would be able to chop off the enemy at the head of the city, jump into the wooden wall, and smashed the huge wooden stake against the latch of the wooden door. It's a pity that the warriors who were stabbed to death by the short spears fell, and the enemies on the wall also made mockery.

"Damn it! Call us stupid?!" Seeing the messy army just couldn't take down the fortress right away, Carl was almost fainted in a hurry.

To make matters worse, a bony arrow hit the iron piece on Carl's helmet, and he subconsciously felt that the enemy had a magical archer, so he quickly shielded most of his body with a round shield and retreated subconsciously.

Olekin's private soldiers were all dressed in black clothes. The peasant soldiers were unreliable, and gradually they became the main offensive force.

A black-clothed soldier approached Karl cautiously, admonishing: "Prince, the enemy's wooden wall is strong. If you hit it like this, my brothers will suffer too many deaths and injuries."

"Damn! Are you afraid of death? Isn't the wooden door smashed open?" The furious Karl's blade was directly attached to the man's neck.

The soldier in black did not change his face: "I am Krafteger (meaning great power), the brave Krafteger, a warrior whom your father valued, I am not afraid of death!"

"Then knock down that **** wooden wall!"

Kraftage, the black warrior, just glanced at the blade of the Ross steel sword, and suddenly thought of something. He continued: "Brothers broke through the gap, but they were stabbed to death by spears. Prince, we can't let our people die anymore, look at the reality! At least fifty brothers are dead! We in Mellaren continue to be killed and injured. , Then we can't fight."

Kraftegger's last words awakened Karl, he looked at the rock-solid wooden wall, and in grief and anger, he gave the order to retreat.

The Mellaren army, whose attack was unsuccessful, retreated. Behind them, the anthology of enemies on the wall began to taunt with foul language.

As if the resistance of the residents of Voskars Harbor was fruitful, the people who lost their souls once saw the hope of victory.

However, the appearance of another group of fighters made their beautiful ideas fall short.

It was the Yilmalon Army, the Unkras Army, the Uppsala Army, and even other small tribe fighters. They all ate some dried fish and bacon during the looting, and began to focus on attacking the wooden castle after their physical strength recovered.

The leader of Yelmalen, Wenderson, prided himself on being calm. He didn't dare to make any sarcasm when he saw King Olekin's resentment, who was clearly frustrated in the offensive.

He knew that the king needed victory, and presumably fighting was not purely for wealth, but victory of will. To lay down an enemy's fortress is of great political significance to the new kingdom of Sweden.

"Relax! King, we will work hard to break through their wooden walls."

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Olekin didn't know where the guy in front of him came from his self-confidence. When he thought that he was really broken by them, wouldn't the blood he paid pave the way for them. Looking at the wooden wall again, Olekin felt that things would not go well.

Olegin actually thought of some tactics. As his resentful son took his brothers to retreat for a while, the scheming man boasted that he saw the enemy's weaknesses clearly, and set out to adjust his tactics.

Fortunately, there are a large group of stunned greens who continue to drag the enemy and continue to consume the enemy's physical strength is also a good thing.

Olekin encouraged: "Then attack! I believe you can."

Although the words were simple, Wen Desen felt that he was full of power, so he secured his helmet and led his people to the battlefield forcibly attacking the city.

So, the castle that the Mellaren army can't defeat~www.novelhall.com~ can others quickly break it?

The residents of Voskars were just fighting a life-and-death struggle again. They had the advantage of the terrain. Even if they were condescending with a spear, they could force the attacker not to approach.

The Yilmalon Army also does not have any siege weapons. Their fighters wear chain armor at a very low rate. Half of the fighters only wear common clothes, all protected by a round shield.

No, what the Yilmaren army saw was a dead body under the city wall. There were friendly soldiers and city defenders who were beaten down.

They approached in a thrilling manner, and soon they were hit by a large number of stones, and then some people were killed by the stones inexplicably.

The roaring army tried to encircle the entire wooden fort in order to find a suitable breakthrough point, but under the dim light they found that the fortress was simply "impeachable."

The focus of the offensive was still on the biggest wooden door, which was indeed smashed out of the hole by the big axe of the offensive troops, but the wooden door did not open.

There were as many as ten burly men's corpses dead under the wooden door. They were assassinated by spearheads protruding from the holes.

Yilmallen bravely smashed the door with an axe, and was soon stabbed to death.

Then the Uppsala Army and the Unkras Army sent people to challenge Wuwei, and even the 50-man army of the Granite also sent people to smash the door. As a result, the strong men from all sides were suddenly stabbed to death by the Danish mercenaries who were waiting behind the door with a sharp spear.

At this moment, the battle has dragged on until the sun goes down!

Take a look at the current battlefield. If there is no light from the burning houses, the battlefield is already dark.

The wooden wall can't be attacked for a long time, and the energy consumption of the offensive and defensive sides is serious. The fact is that if the Swedish army cannot take down the fortress within two days, everyone will have to face the dilemma of running out of food, and if they are hungry collectively, they can only go home.
