The York Bridge is burning. It is the only way for York to connect to the right bank of the River Ouse. If you lose it, pedestrians will either take a long detour or take a boat to cross the river.
York is surrounded by groups, and the city, along with the more than 6,000 soldiers and civilians who fled, has become a fish on the chopping block.
The Viking army was burning their war dead. The fifty brothers who died in World War I really moved Magnutt a lot, and it also aroused his anger.
There are bonfires everywhere, as dense as a galaxy.
It was supposed to be a pitch-black earth, because the dense bonfire was lit up, and the anomaly here could be seen even at a long distance.
The Broken Arm of Northumbria just wanted to return to York quickly.
They walked north along the dirt road on the Don (Don) River and arrived at the confluence of the Us River and it.
They arrived along the right bank of the Ouse River, but they encountered the scouts of the Count Roydis (Leeds) who were loyal to him.
His Majesty the King personally led the main force to come and surprised and moved the scouts.
All the scouts reported to their knowledge that the so-called Lord Earl was organizing troops to reinforce York, and a great battle seemed inevitable.
However, this report can only cause Ainred to continue to be nervous.
Because those Vikings have been upstream along the river, they have surrounded York, whether the siege has happened.
in case……
Ainred's inherent extravagance has mostly disappeared. He is worried that his son will be killed and the ministers will be cut off, leading to the extinction of his family.
The subordinates asked: "Your Majesty, what should our army do? If this exhausted army returns to York, once a decisive battle, our army will be disadvantageous..."
"Then go to Roydis! Try to mobilize men to join the army and save our York. God will save us!" His right arm pulled the reins suddenly and turned the horse's head.
Many people can't see that the king has lost his left forearm, and their fighting spirit is not high at first, but blindly follow the king.
It is true that the frictions and skirmishes with Mesiah on the southern border for several months have continued to consume the morale of the soldiers, and now they are going to fight the Vikings who besieged York?
It is also good for the army to detour to Roydis first, as the army's strength at least increases its momentum.
Until now, Ernred knew almost nothing about the Vikings who invaded the capital. Are they Ross? Or something else? All in all are Vikings.
This 2,000-man army did not arrive at Roydis until night. The horrified defender once thought that the Vikings had come, and a warrior came up to the battlement with a closed gate.
It wasn't until the king's cavalry yelled in Saxon that Garfred, Earl of Roydis, realized that the situation was abnormal and opened the city gate himself.
A group of earl guards holding torches went out first, and the earl himself, holding the hilt of the sword, approached His Majesty the King's mount under the night.
Einred's old face was sullen. He even screamed when he got out of the horse, "I learned that something happened in York! The Vikings are besieging the capital, and I want to recruit troops here! Organize all twelve-year-olds as quickly as possible A fifty-year-old man! Whether it is a servant or a serf, or even a prisoner, hand it over to me immediately."
Count Garfred was taken aback, and there was no smile on his face. Some were just horrified, "Your Majesty, I have organized 500 farmers. I can organize 700 people. Isn't this... enough?"
"Of course not enough! They are Vikings! Organize two thousand people for me at any cost and let all your sons participate in the war. Listen, if we fail, the whole kingdom will be destroyed, and everything about you will be brought from the sea. The villain takes it away!"
"Okay... OK. Your Majesty, Advanced City."
"Alright. Prepare food and water for my army immediately."
The king came with a large army, and the people who fled into the city were not relieved.
The chaotic streets are full of soldiers sitting and resting. They want to go to the toilet, making the already messy streets even more stinking.
Einred is not sleepy, or he has forgotten what to sleep because of extreme nervousness~www.novelhall.com~Get cash] Follow vx public. Public number [Book Friends Base Camp~www.novelhall.com~ can still be Get cash!
At the order of your majesty, all the prisoners in the prison were pulled out.
Those who committed crimes thought they were going to be chopped off or hanged, but they did not expect to be received by the king.
Rogues, murderers to be executed, prisoners in debt, and those who did not pay enough taxes, more than fifty men were detained in the muddy square of the city.
There were people holding torches everywhere, and the man with a gold-rimmed iron helmet was the king himself.
"You are all criminals!" Standing on a high ground, Einred pointed to these prisoners. "Many of you should have been executed. But now there is a chance to exonerate all guilt. Our country is under siege by barbarians, and now Everyone took up arms to fight the barbarians. When we win, your credit will offset your sin!"
Is this a good thing? Pooh!
Only the murderer was a little relieved, at least he had a theoretical chance of survival. But the debt prisoner realized that the so-called pardon was a joke! Everyone must fight the barbarians desperately, for fear of being killed in an instant.
Einred reckoned their thoughts and started yelling again, "I want to conscript a large army! All age-qualified people must join the army, otherwise they are traitors! They will be executed!"
After that, he even drew out his sword, which surprised the people who watched overnight. After that, a wave of the Kingdom’s regular army surrounded the square and surrounded the men in the circle, except for the meaningless boys, they must all join the army!
This night, how many families gathered together to cry.
One after another, self-farming families, they flee here with Xiruan as a refuge! Many of them saw the terrifying large ship, as well as the surprising number of barbarians on board. Wouldn't it be death to fight this group of villains?
But without fighting, the king is really going to kill.
Even the old man Erinred, who was walking and swaying, didn't let it go. He recruited all kinds of people overnight, and he also grabbed the vitality of Count Roydice all at once.
Earl Garfred dared not say anything, not only because it was the king, but also because the king was at least stronger than himself.
Overnight, the army skyrocketed to more than four thousand men. There are farmers in rags everywhere. Many of them are still barefoot, with a hemp rope as a trouser belt outside their rags.
Farmer fighters are unarmored, and most have only a short spear on hand.
The regular stock of weapons has been distributed. Those without weapons use sharpened wooden poles to make spears, and even nail iron nails to short wooden sticks to make maces.
This is also considered an army? So morale can burst?
Einred had no choice, at least to gather such a large number of people. He was relieved in his heart. He also hoped to force the Vikings to evacuate by relying on the simple number of people. Although this is basically an extravagant hope, the opportunity to negotiate is also excellent. of.
On a day of peace, it would take some time for Ernred to recruit an army of thousands from the country.
Now that a large number of civilians are pouring into Roydis City, he finally pulled out this messy army and began to move towards York the next day.
It was also on this day that Rurik was making the final preparations for the siege.
York was still besieged, and the people in the city couldn't escape with their wings.
Do you want to persuade them to surrender? Even if there is the food officer Paul in the camp, Rurik still doesn't want to take risks.
Until now, Rurik didn't know if Northumbria was in the city. If he was there, their fierce resistance yesterday would be meaningless even if they negotiated.
A monarch who is willing to die at Sheji? It is worthy of admiration.
Then ask for benevolence and benevolence!
The stone city of York gave Rurik the feeling that it was much taller and larger than that of Borgholm. The city was obviously a church building, and it also had a towering tower.
If there were artillery, the city would soon be blasted through the walls. No matter how much the weight of the stone thrower is, the big rocks keep hitting, and the wall collapses.
At least there is a huge weakness in York's wall that Rurik perceives. When they built the city, they didn't know anything about cement. They piled up the walls with stones. In order to avoid the collapse, the natural cross-section was a trapezoid, which provided opportunities for unarmed climbing.
The wooden walls of the Outer Guocheng were destroyed, and the materials that were not transported in time became the coalition forces' pockets, and the traded agricultural products were immediately supplied to the army.
Those big wooden poles and long wooden poles immediately became the materials for assembling the long ladder.
The Roths and Balmerks were tied with ropes, and within a day they were stupefied to build 30 ladders, one for an average of 100 people.
Rurik also unloaded twenty prepared trolleys from the big ship. They were originally used to transport trophies, but now they are the only vehicles for the torsion slingshot unloaded from the ship.
The fleet anchored on the Us River can still hit York with projectiles. After all, this is a waste of ammunition. Hearing Jeflo’s concerns, Rurik thinks again, worrying that these support will accidentally injure the friendly forces during the melee, and he does not intend to. Again.
Twenty torsion slingshots and ten bull catapults will provide fire support when the main attack is launched.
Rurik was stunned and asked to assemble all the men in the Balmerk army with bows, so that the shooting flag team suddenly expanded to five hundred!
Even if many people hold short wooden bows that are not high in pounds, if they are used intensively, the arrow rain created should have a significant effect.
Everything is under Rurik's control. Tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle and siege of the city. In the evening, he has to hold the last pre-war meeting.
Including the distinguished Chief Magnuth, everyone listened to Rurik's final arrangement, and the special requirements in it to reduce the killing, even if there are continuous doubts.
A family leader yelled: "Why bother? For your kindness?"
Arik also suggested: "They are fighters. If they dare to resist us, our army should kill them. This is the fate of the fighters."
What Arik said was an explanation. Those who believed in Odin all supported the killing.
Rurik hurriedly said: "At least you have to save the lives of women! Listen, brothers, if you want to settle here, at least you have to have enough women. You have the lives of men, and they will be your slaves. You farm."
This was mainly for Magnuth, and Rurik stared at his father-in-law again, "It may be impossible to blackmail the king of Northumbria now. They are too weak, and the kingship must be controlled by us. This is destiny. , Father, you should rule here. All the local farmers are your servants."
These words directly lifted Magnuth a lot, and other family leaders heard that they were really uncomfortable, but they were helpless.
Magnut stroked his beard and laughed, "Okay, Biyuni! My son."
"in."
"Go and tell our people to bring more rope. After the city is broken, the resisters are killed, and those who lay down their weapons are tied up, regardless of whether they are men or women. From now on I will be the king here, and we can keep these people as slaves to farming. Oh, and the wives of my brothers."
In Balmerk's army, Magnuth led the most and the strongest, and this person was also the most powerful.
Rurik also pounded his cousin Arik: "Don't be too cruel."
"Of course I am." Arik pouted, feeling uncomfortable thinking about not being able to fight in the blood.
When he left for the expedition, Rurik said he had no intention of asking for too much in Britain, and his biggest hope was to get a lot of wheat to take back to his hometown. He concluded that since York is a royal city, there must be a lot of wheat in the city.
Most of the wheat goes to Ross, and most of the other treasures go to Balmerk. This is an agreement between the two groups.
On a new day, the sky is full of haze.
The awakened Rurik looked at the gray sky and said with emotion: "There will never be another rain."
There was no rainfall for the time being, but the north wind was slightly fierce, and the sudden drop in temperature made the defenders' mood further down. The Viking army outside the city was just the opposite. After a day of repair, they had completed their final preparations.
All the Balmerks with horns blew their horns, and there was a noise outside the city, and soon a large number of soldiers gathered with weapons.
The Balmerks raised the multi-faceted white-bottomed raven flag appointed by their leader, while the Russians carried more white-bottomed blue-patterned paddle flags.
In order to conquer the city, Rurik also spent his blood. The "silver scale breastplate" he carried in this battle, this batch of heavy silver-plated iron plate armor, can finally come in handy.
Since ancient times, ladder-climbing fighters have always taken huge risks in their assaults. Bloody battles with flesh-and-blood people climbing ladders in the city seem to be looking for death. They must be equipped with heavy armor!
Rurik picked out fifty brave men from his mercenaries, and beat the Danish Grund and more than a dozen of his brothers, and said, "Now I give you a chance to do great things. Put on the heaviest armor, you guys. I can’t get in, let me climb up the wall to fight, let the enemy’s blood wash the dirt on the armor, and destroy their will. After the thing is done, there will be a reward."
It doesn't matter how many things are rewarded, such as Glend. They are surrenders, but they need to be loyal for a lifetime, not to mention that they are treated very well on weekdays.
Seeing these fifty "iron bulls", Arik was very envious. He also wanted to put on heavy armor and climb the wall to fight. After all, he was the flag captain of the first flag team, and it was inappropriate to leave the command.
The Viking army began to shout, beating the shield with sword and axe, accompanied by the sound of horns, bringing a terrifying momentum.
The soldiers and civilians in the city were trembling with fright, and when Gray Woolf climbed up the stone wall to see the assembled army, it was estimated that today would be the last day of his life.
Poor, it's a cloudy day today.
He bared his teeth and led the soldiers down the city first, and more than a thousand men in different clothes knelt together.
The remaining priests are in a mixed mood. They hold the "holy water golden urn" filled with rose essential oil, and use fresh cypress branches dipped in holy water to bless all the soldiers.
"..., God is with us, A... door."
The priests knew that they were hard to protect themselves, and even the words of prayer were stumbling, and now they can only rely on these fighters.
The only men in York who can really fight, most of them are just temporarily armed farmers.
There are more than four hundred kingdom soldiers who seem to have fighting capacity, and look at those Vikings, they are demons.
Although Gray Woolf was afraid, he had no choice now. The thousands of people in the city still depend on the protection of the soldiers, especially the queen and the prince.
Kingdom soldiers holding bows stood at the head of the city one after another, all the king flags in the city were erected, and nearly fifty large and small orange flags fluttered fiercely in the north wind.
"Do they know that today is a decisive battle? There are banners everywhere." Arik asked his brother.
"fair enough."
"Okay? But you won't let me take my brothers into the city and kill them."
"Are you resenting me?" Rurik shrugged.
"How is it possible!" Arik casually patted his brother's iron helmet, "I still like fighting."
"But ~www.novelhall.com~ this is the battle of the Balmerks. We are helping. Brother, I hope that we will not die in this expedition. Our men are very noble."
"Hey, except for those mercenaries."
"Not so. Except that Grund and his guys. You know, I don't like this kind of mercenary who betrayed my own gold master."
Arik was taken aback first, then nodded and praised what the old man had said.
But how does Glenn know? Their heavy armored warriors are simply iron men. They were chosen because they were consumables.
The mercenaries who were really favored by Rurik are now being crossbowmen and even manipulating heavy weapons.
Who will announce the start of the offense?
Rurik ordered a Ross soldier to walk to the front of the line carrying Ross's blue flag with a white background, a flamboyant wave to attract everyone's attention, and suddenly he waved forward.
Upon seeing this, Magnuth ordered his men to launch an offensive, which caused the whole army to launch a surprise attack!

, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!The York Bridge is burning. It is the only way for York to connect to the right bank of the River Ouse. If you lose it, pedestrians will either take a long detour or take a boat to cross the river.York is surrounded by groups, and the city, along with the more than 6,000 soldiers and civilians who fled, has become a fish on the chopping block.The Viking army was burning their war dead. The fifty brothers who died in World War I really moved Magnutt a lot, and it also aroused his anger.There are bonfires everywhere, as dense as a galaxy.It was supposed to be a pitch-black earth, because the dense bonfire was lit up, and the anomaly here could be seen even at a long distance.The Broken Arm of Northumbria just wanted to return to York quickly.They walked north along the dirt road on the Don Don River and arrived at the confluence of the Us River and it.They arrived along the right bank of the Ouse River, but they encountered the scouts of the Count Roydis Leeds who were loyal to him.His Majesty the King personally led the main force to come and surprised and moved the scouts.All the scouts reported to their knowledge that the so-called Lord Earl was organizing troops to reinforce York, and a great battle seemed inevitable.However, this report can only cause Ainred to continue to be nervous.Because those Vikings have been upstream along the river, they have surrounded York, whether the siege has happened.in caseAinred's inherent extravagance has mostly disappeared. He is worried that his son will be killed and the ministers will be cut off, leading to the extinction of his family.The subordinates asked: "Your Majesty, what should our army do? If this exhausted army returns to York, once a decisive battle, our army will be disadvantageous...""Then go to Roydis! Try to mobilize men to join the army and save our York. God will save us!" His right arm pulled the reins suddenly and turned the horse's head.Many people can't see that the king has lost his left forearm, and their fighting spirit is not high at first, but blindly follow the king.It is true that the frictions and skirmishes with Mesiah on the southern border for several months have continued to consume the morale of the soldiers, and now they are going to fight the Vikings who besieged York?It is also good for the army to detour to Roydis first, as the army's strength at least increases its momentum.Until now, Ernred knew almost nothing about the Vikings who invaded the capital. Are they Ross? Or something else? All in all are Vikings.This 2,000-man army did not arrive at Roydis until night. The horrified defender once thought that the Vikings had come, and a warrior came up to the battlement with a closed gate.It wasn't until the king's cavalry yelled in Saxon that Garfred, Earl of Roydis, realized that the situation was abnormal and opened the city gate himself.A group of earl guards holding torches went out first, and the earl himself, holding the hilt of the sword, approached His Majesty the King's mount under the night.Einred's old face was sullen. He even screamed when he got out of the horse, "I learned that something happened in York! The Vikings are besieging the capital, and I want to recruit troops here! Organize all twelve-year-olds as quickly as possible A fifty-year-old man! Whether it is a servant or a serf, or even a prisoner, hand it over to me immediately."Count Garfred was taken aback, and there was no smile on his face. Some were just horrified, "Your Majesty, I have organized 500 farmers. I can organize 700 people. Isn't this... enough?""Of course not enough! They are Vikings! Organize two thousand people for me at any cost and let all your sons participate in the war. Listen, if we fail, the whole kingdom will be destroyed, and everything about you will be brought from the sea. The villain takes it away!""Okay... OK. Your Majesty, Advanced City.""Alright. Prepare food and water for my army immediately."The king came with a large army, and the people who fled into the city were not relieved.The chaotic streets are full of soldiers sitting and resting. They want to go to the toilet, making the already messy streets even more stinking.Einred is not sleepy, or he has forgotten what to sleep because of extreme nervousness~www.novelhall.com~Get cash Follow vx public. Public number Book Friends Base Camp~www.novelhall.com~ can still be Get cash!At the order of your majesty, all the prisoners in the prison were pulled out.Those who committed crimes thought they were going to be chopped off or hanged, but they did not expect to be received by the king.Rogues, murderers to be executed, prisoners in debt, and those who did not pay enough taxes, more than fifty men were detained in the muddy square of the city.There were people holding torches everywhere, and the man with a gold-rimmed iron helmet was the king himself."You are all criminals!" Standing on a high ground, Einred pointed to these prisoners. "Many of you should have been executed. But now there is a chance to exonerate all guilt. Our country is under siege by barbarians, and now Everyone took up arms to fight the barbarians. When we win, your credit will offset your sin!"Is this a good thing? Pooh!Only the murderer was a little relieved, at least he had a theoretical chance of survival. But the debt prisoner realized that the so-called pardon was a joke! Everyone must fight the barbarians desperately, for fear of being killed in an instant.Einred reckoned their thoughts and started yelling again, "I want to conscript a large army! All age-qualified people must join the army, otherwise they are traitors! They will be executed!"After that, he even drew out his sword, which surprised the people who watched overnight. After that, a wave of the Kingdom's regular army surrounded the square and surrounded the men in the circle, except for the meaningless boys, they must all join the army!This night, how many families gathered together to cry.One after another, self-farming families, they flee here with Xiruan as a refuge! Many of them saw the terrifying large ship, as well as the surprising number of barbarians on board. Wouldn't it be death to fight this group of villains?But without fighting, the king is really going to kill.Even the old man Erinred, who was walking and swaying, didn't let it go. He recruited all kinds of people overnight, and he also grabbed the vitality of Count Roydice all at once.Earl Garfred dared not say anything, not only because it was the king, but also because the king was at least stronger than himself.Overnight, the army skyrocketed to more than four thousand men. There are farmers in rags everywhere. Many of them are still barefoot, with a hemp rope as a trouser belt outside their rags.Farmer fighters are unarmored, and most have only a short spear on hand.The regular stock of weapons has been distributed. Those without weapons use sharpened wooden poles to make spears, and even nail iron nails to short wooden sticks to make maces.This is also considered an army? So morale can burst?Einred had no choice, at least to gather such a large number of people. He was relieved in his heart. He also hoped to force the Vikings to evacuate by relying on the simple number of people. Although this is basically an extravagant hope, the opportunity to negotiate is also excellent. of.On a day of peace, it would take some time for Ernred to recruit an army of thousands from the country.Now that a large number of civilians are pouring into Roydis City, he finally pulled out this messy army and began to move towards York the next day.It was also on this day that Rurik was making the final preparations for the siege.York was still besieged, and the people in the city couldn't escape with their wings.Do you want to persuade them to surrender? Even if there is the food officer Paul in the camp, Rurik still doesn't want to take risks.Until now, Rurik didn't know if Northumbria was in the city. If he was there, their fierce resistance yesterday would be meaningless even if they negotiated.A monarch who is willing to die at Sheji? It is worthy of admiration.Then ask for benevolence and benevolence!The stone city of York gave Rurik the feeling that it was much taller and larger than that of Borgholm. The city was obviously a church building, and it also had a towering tower.If there were artillery, the city would soon be blasted through the walls. No matter how much the weight of the stone thrower is, the big rocks keep hitting, and the wall collapses.At least there is a huge weakness in York's wall that Rurik perceives. When they built the city, they didn't know anything about cement. They piled up the walls with stones. In order to avoid the collapse, the natural cross-section was a trapezoid, which provided opportunities for unarmed climbing.The wooden walls of the Outer Guocheng were destroyed, and the materials that were not transported in time became the coalition forces' pockets, and the traded agricultural products were immediately supplied to the army.Those big wooden poles and long wooden poles immediately became the materials for assembling the long ladder.The Roths and Balmerks were tied with ropes, and within a day they were stupefied to build 30 ladders, one for an average of 100 people.Rurik also unloaded twenty prepared trolleys from the big ship. They were originally used to transport trophies, but now they are the only vehicles for the torsion slingshot unloaded from the ship.The fleet anchored on the Us River can still hit York with projectiles. After all, this is a waste of ammunition. Hearing Jeflo's concerns, Rurik thinks again, worrying that these support will accidentally injure the friendly forces during the melee, and he does not intend to. Again.Twenty torsion slingshots and ten bull catapults will provide fire support when the main attack is launched.Rurik was stunned and asked to assemble all the men in the Balmerk army with bows, so that the shooting flag team suddenly expanded to five hundred!Even if many people hold short wooden bows that are not high in pounds, if they are used intensively, the arrow rain created should have a significant effect.Everything is under Rurik's control. Tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle and siege of the city. In the evening, he has to hold the last pre-war meeting.Including the distinguished Chief Magnuth, everyone listened to Rurik's final arrangement, and the special requirements in it to reduce the killing, even if there are continuous doubts.A family leader yelled: "Why bother? For your kindness?"Arik also suggested: "They are fighters. If they dare to resist us, our army should kill them. This is the fate of the fighters."What Arik said was an explanation. Those who believed in Odin all supported the killing.Rurik hurriedly said: "At least you have to save the lives of women! Listen, brothers, if you want to settle here, at least you have to have enough women. You have the lives of men, and they will be your slaves. You farm."This was mainly for Magnuth, and Rurik stared at his father-in-law again, "It may be impossible to blackmail the king of Northumbria now. They are too weak, and the kingship must be controlled by us. This is destiny. , Father, you should rule here. All the local farmers are your servants."These words directly lifted Magnuth a lot, and other family leaders heard that they were really uncomfortable, but they were helpless.Magnut stroked his beard and laughed, "Okay, Biyuni! My son.""in.""Go and tell our people to bring more rope. After the city is broken, the resisters are killed, and those who lay down their weapons are tied up, regardless of whether they are men or women. From now on I will be the king here, and we can keep these people as slaves to farming. Oh, and the wives of my brothers."In Balmerk's army, Magnuth led the most and the strongest, and this person was also the most powerful.Rurik also pounded his cousin Arik: "Don't be too cruel.""Of course I am." Arik pouted, feeling uncomfortable thinking about not being able to fight in the blood.When he left for the expedition, Rurik said he had no intention of asking for too much in Britain, and his biggest hope was to get a lot of wheat to take back to his hometown. He concluded that since York is a royal city, there must be a lot of wheat in the city.Most of the wheat goes to Ross, and most of the other treasures go to Balmerk. This is an agreement between the two groups.On a new day, the sky is full of haze.The awakened Rurik looked at the gray sky and said with emotion: "There will never be another rain."There was no rainfall for the time being, but the north wind was slightly fierce, and the sudden drop in temperature made the defenders' mood further down. The Viking army outside the city was just the opposite. After a day of repair, they had completed their final preparations.All the Balmerks with horns blew their horns, and there was a noise outside the city, and soon a large number of soldiers gathered with weapons.The Balmerks raised the multi-faceted white-bottomed raven flag appointed by their leader, while the Russians carried more white-bottomed blue-patterned paddle flags.In order to conquer the city, Rurik also spent his blood. The "silver scale breastplate" he carried in this battle, this batch of heavy silver-plated iron plate armor, can finally come in handy.Since ancient times, ladder-climbing fighters have always taken huge risks in their assaults. Bloody battles with flesh-and-blood people climbing ladders in the city seem to be looking for death. They must be equipped with heavy armor!Rurik picked out fifty brave men from his mercenaries, and beat the Danish Grund and more than a dozen of his brothers, and said, "Now I give you a chance to do great things. Put on the heaviest armor, you guys. I can't get in, let me climb up the wall to fight, let the enemy's blood wash the dirt on the armor, and destroy their will. After the thing is done, there will be a reward."It doesn't matter how many things are rewarded, such as Glend. They are surrenders, but they need to be loyal for a lifetime, not to mention that they are treated very well on weekdays.Seeing these fifty "iron bulls", Arik was very envious. He also wanted to put on heavy armor and climb the wall to fight. After all, he was the flag captain of the first flag team, and it was inappropriate to leave the command.The Viking army began to shout, beating the shield with sword and axe, accompanied by the sound of horns, bringing a terrifying momentum.The soldiers and civilians in the city were trembling with fright, and when Gray Woolf climbed up the stone wall to see the assembled army, it was estimated that today would be the last day of his life.Poor, it's a cloudy day today.He bared his teeth and led the soldiers down the city first, and more than a thousand men in different clothes knelt together.The remaining priests are in a mixed mood. They hold the "holy water golden urn" filled with rose essential oil, and use fresh cypress branches dipped in holy water to bless all the soldiers."..., God is with us, A... door."The priests knew that they were hard to protect themselves, and even the words of prayer were stumbling, and now they can only rely on these fighters.The only men in York who can really fight, most of them are just temporarily armed farmers.There are more than four hundred kingdom soldiers who seem to have fighting capacity, and look at those Vikings, they are demons.Although Gray Woolf was afraid, he had no choice now. The thousands of people in the city still depend on the protection of the soldiers, especially the queen and the prince.Kingdom soldiers holding bows stood at the head of the city one after another, all the king flags in the city were erected, and nearly fifty large and small orange flags fluttered fiercely in the north wind."Do they know that today is a decisive battle? There are banners everywhere." Arik asked his brother."fair enough.""Okay? But you won't let me take my brothers into the city and kill them.""Are you resenting me?" Rurik shrugged."How is it possible!" Arik casually patted his brother's iron helmet, "I still like fighting.""But ~www.novelhall.com~ this is the battle of the Balmerks. We are helping. Brother, I hope that we will not die in this expedition. Our men are very noble.""Hey, except for those mercenaries.""Not so. Except that Grund and his guys. You know, I don't like this kind of mercenary who betrayed my own gold master."Arik was taken aback first, then nodded and praised what the old man had said.But how does Glenn know? Their heavy armored warriors are simply iron men. They were chosen because they were consumables.The mercenaries who were really favored by Rurik are now being crossbowmen and even manipulating heavy weapons.Who will announce the start of the offense?Rurik ordered a Ross soldier to walk to the front of the line carrying Ross's blue flag with a white background, a flamboyant wave to attract everyone's attention, and suddenly he waved forward.Upon seeing this, Magnuth ordered his men to launch an offensive, which caused the whole army to launch a surprise attack!
