Did the blue fox really become Odin's warrior? how is this possible……

   The man’s greatest belief is profit, which can be his own wealth or the long-term interests of his family. He stayed in Hezeby deliberately to hold on, dressed as a warrior who saw death as his home, still for the benefit of the family.

  The continuous rain disrupted his plan, and now he can only continue to hold on to wait for the storm to end and the waves subsided.

   The wet Ross flag that has been hanging in the rain is the biggest mockery of the Danes. The muddy and cold world certainly forces the Danish army to be unable to attack. For all considerations, they will continue the confrontation.

   Everyone knows that as long as the storm is over, it will be the end of the war.

   The men who were trembling in the rain just clung to the dream of getting rich, and now this dream is the power to support them to continue fighting.

   However, the disease inevitably began to erode these farmers who were forcibly recruited to fight.

   Danish tribal warriors will endure various disadvantages and persist in fighting out of tribal and personal honors. But I saw these farmer fighters. They were not affiliated with a certain Danish tribe. Some Saxon peasants who had fled to the south were not Danes.

   The cold rain continued to erode their will to fight, and also began to obliterate some of the weak.

  In such a rainy day, even a strong man may die due to untimely continuous loss of temperature. All the best cold protection items were taken by Stadt and his soldiers, and even the horses were taken care of. The second level is the so-called army of various bandits, some of which have obtained rags to resist the cold. Speaking of this group of farmer soldiers, they could not grab anything to keep out the cold, so some people began to find that the cold morning reappeared, and frozen bodies began to appear in the camp.

   Before the new battle started, his camp started to move the corpses, and the number was actually quite large.

   The dead were frozen to death without effective food supplies, and the living farmer soldiers were in a terrible condition.

No one advises Stad to continue to tactically shrink for the sake of the overall situation. The so-called supplementary provisions are listed first, precisely for the sake of the overall situation. The fortress shows its existence.

   Stad and his soldiers have been living in the Frankish territory for a long time, and they have retreated a little bit of gangsterism. Their battles are more elaborate, and they also pay attention to logistics. They have enough dry food to eat for themselves during this battle.

   The gang and their people rely on the skills of the local fish and meat. There is a material warehouse in Hazeby City, and the reserved batch of dried fish brothers can enjoy themselves.

   It's really hard for the farmers. They were never mentally prepared to besiege the enemy. At the beginning, they were promised to quickly finish the battle and have gold and silver to grab, and they brought a small amount of dry food and carried farm tools to the expedition.

   Many people think that they are being forced to fight. They become very voluntary when they want to go. Now everyone just wants to take advantage of the carelessness to run away.

   There are indeed peasant soldiers who took advantage of the chaos to flee, but how many people are there?

   The dry food has been eaten, and a group of "hungry wolves" began to forage in the city. Under the double blow of hunger and cold, they may not dare to attack the Ross people, but dare to attack the mansions of some big merchants.

  Stad is of course promised not to do anything to businessmen who offer suggestions, and a group of hungry farmers plundered to survive, he also lacks the subjective will to contain it.

   The hungry farmer robbed the merchant’s mansion, and the mercenary guarding the mansion immediately gave up resistance and slipped away.

The "great clever" who had once allocated Stade, his mansion was also robbed, but he himself already took the most important possessions, led his wives, children, and a group of mercenaries out of the city in a carriage, taking refuge in the city. The mansion here has no valuables.

The looting behavior slightly eased the morale of the hungry farmers who were about to collapse. They were given some warm linen and damp grains of wheat. Many hungry people even opened their mouths and ate oats like cows and horses.

   These things the farmers did, Stad did not want to manage subjectively, but actually couldn't manage it anymore. His guards are naturally very loyal, and they are all years old brothers who can trust each other. What he wants to unite most is the group of obviously unreliable gangs. After all, the gangs come to corrupt, and they are more reliable than the group of temporary farmers.

   "The **** rain made me so miserable! Ross people, did you make the determination to die? Do you also freeze to death a lot in the rain?"

   The situation of the Ross people is unknown to Ystad, but he learned that as many as fifty people have been killed in his camp. The supplies obtained by the farmers' looting can not completely prevent the embarrassment from continuing unless the rain clears.

   The rainfall process actually lasts for five days, which is really a long rainy day.

   When the long-lost sunlight again sheds on the erosion and damp ground, the mud-like warriors have emerged from their hiding places, and they know that Zhan Duan is not far away from reopening.

   Stad reorganized his army. Although he had bad expectations, he was surprised by the fact that only a thousand armed men stood up.

   Except for a batch of fugitives, hundreds of people died in non-combat in the past week. The farmer soldiers are in the worst condition. They stayed in a very short and terrible environment for a week. All of them lacked blood on their faces and stood up a little shaky. Many people also had a fever. In this situation, let alone fighting, they did not die of illness for a short time. To die is to burn incense.

  The farmer fighters who made up the number are no longer credible, but some of them still maintain a good spirit and are favored by him. quilt

After several battles among the recruited peasant soldiers, a small group of outstanding people can always come to the fore. The rich and high lords of Flanders have the right to recruit peasants to fight in accordance with Frank's decree. They found that those who are physically strong are often straightforward. Promoted as a servant, although the farmer is still a farmer, his social status will be improved, and he may even become a full-timer in one fell swoop and become a professional guard for the lord.

   The Danish world is more cruel than Frank. This is a world where the strong can survive. Therefore, Stoude has no regrets for the starving to death.

   The rain has stopped, and the whole world is still muddy, which is extremely detrimental to his secret weapon.

   The north wind is still sharp after the rain, but people’s bodies are no longer wet and the embarrassment of losing temperature has been greatly eased.

   The troop strength has been severely reduced, and those who can continue fighting lack morale. Now, the legend about Jinshan Yinshan has become extremely important.

Stoad reorganized his army in the ruins, facing a group of frowning people, he proclaimed with a sword: "The sea is rough and the gods will not give the Ross people a chance to flee with their treasures! They decided to defend the gold and silver to the end. , I want you to kill them, all the gold and silver belong to you!"

  The words are so, but he really started to rob Stade and hope to rob even more because of his identity and smoking addiction, but he knew he was going to draw a huge pie for his subordinates in the current embarrassment.

   The sluggish morale has been boosted, and now only the looting of money is the factor that keeps them fighting, and a group of sick people have also joined the shouting, as if their patients have also recovered.

   Their boiling shouts made a great noise. They were venting their momentum to their opponents, and they were also firmly noticed by the Ross people.

  The situation has not become too serious here at the Fortress of Ross Shop.

   The slightly sloppy wooden wall guards gripped the hilt again. Someone jumped deep into the semi-dry ground and rushed into the room to report to the blue fox.

   "My lord, the enemy is roaring, they are demonstrating to us."

   "Yes! I heard it all!" The blue fox stretched his serious face, continued to put on his chain mail, and muttered to himself: "A new battle is about to begin again."

   The sea surging caused by the rain directly broke the Russ' retreat plan. Of course, they could escape through the lanes, but they just escaped. How to maneuver the ship on the raging waves?

   The mercenaries were speechless to each other, they all wore uniform robes, and Rose's flag was sewn on their clothes.

   They returned to their respective posts and began to hold on, waiting for their own destiny.

  Some mercenaries are praying to Odin, some just look into the distance, and others seem to be okay.

   For the future, Blue Fox's mind is blank. He actually didn't want to fight to death, so it would not be appropriate to assault on faith in Odin.

   It would be great if there is that deity who can use his divine power to bless himself in the end. Which deity would do this kind of thing?

   He thought of his previous reply with that Eskil, the old guy kept admonishing, now it is time to think about it...

   But Stade didn't give the Blue Fox more time to think. The wet ground was drying at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the mud was not serious anymore. The siege cart transformed by the trolley and the wooden stakes could already be smoothly pushed by the manpower.

  Stad’s army is shouting, it is clearly the last mobilization for the war. Just as the so-called principle of rushing into action, for fear that the morale that was finally boosted would fall, Stard had no intention of procrastinating any more, and announced the start of the second round of attacks on the spot.

   He rode on his well-maintained tall horse, and brought his handful of cavalry to stand out from the crowd.

   He continued to swing his sword and shouted: "Everyone is attacking! Loot your gold and silver, and you will all get rich! Now follow me!"

   Stad really did what he said. Under the eyes of everyone, he personally led the cavalry out of the ruins of the fire, once again appeared in front of the Ross shop, and appeared in front of the shop guards.

   "My lord, the villain has appeared, and their leader must be a horseman." Someone suggested that the blue fox guarding behind the wooden wall was shooting cold arrows.

   The blue fox showed its entire head, squinting at it in the sun and grinning: "This distance is a little far away, can you shoot it?"

  The speaker immediately smiled: "If you have a torsion slingshot, you can snipe him."

   "Your words are farting! Damn, I would have left a slingshot if I knew that..."

   The lack of heavy equipment would make the Ross people's proud combat power plummet, but now they have no time to complain.

listen! It's the low and solemn roar of the horn!

   The blue fox also tightened the hilt of the sword, the bow holder’s arrow was placed on the hilt, and the crossbow was wound.

  An old mercenary thought of a trick: "Brothers are temporarily hiding, let the enemy boldly move forward and we will shoot them." The old mercenary called for nothing, and most of the people had instinctively lie in wait.

   On the other side of the battlefield, Stadt, riding a horse, was angry when he saw the Rose banner hoisted by his opponent.

   Behind him are thousands of warriors who are eager to make a fortune. People in different clothes walked out of the tortuous boxes. Various shields began to build a shield wall, and they beat the shields one after another at the request of the gang bosses. In the violent noise, they moved slowly, and gradually walked in front of the rider.

   Behind them, the phantom of the siege cart gradually appeared. The wheels crushed the mud, and dozens of people pushed it and panted. It is indeed a heavy tool, precisely because of its heavy weight, it can still bring a lot of force when hitting a wooden wall at a low speed.

   Among a group of ragged crowds, a man in armor guarding a large object looks very unique.

   The Ross mercenaries have seen the world, and they suddenly realized that the strange thing is the so-called rushing cart.

   Everyone's hearts are tight, but the blue fox can't intuitively understand the specific use of the object, but is very curious to ask his subordinates: "What are the things guarded by the armored men? It will never be some kind of weapon?"

   "It's a weapon!" An old mercenary changed the free and easy way before, and warned in horror: "That thing is extraordinary. They will push it against our wall, and the wooden wall will be crushed."

   "Huh?! Not so much!"

   "My lord, Prince Rurik uses this weapon best. Unexpectedly... the Danes know it."

   The blue fox was speechless, and the wooden wall he felt difficult to break had become a piece of cloth that was easily pierced.

   "Is there any way to deal with it?"

  Blue Fox’s question is everyone’s question, and some old mercenaries thought: "If we have enough oil, we can set fire to it by splashing the oil, but..."

   "Shut up!" The blue fox was emotionally anxious: "We don't have more oil at all."

   Based on this dilemma, most of the old mercenaries have been relieved, and some even suggested that the blue fox: "Once the wooden wall collapses, our brothers will fight with them."

   "Should I join it too? I...will be killed."

Those mercenaries would not blame the owner's fear in the slightest. Some people suggested that the blue fox took advantage of the chaotic tunnel to escape, and others yelled: "You just killed an enemy accidentally. Odin will not recognize you. We are different, we are. It was fighting for Prince Ross~www.novelhall.com~ After the death of the war, the soul entered the Hall of Valor directly and honorably."

   Fleeing alone? Put it lightly. In the past, the blue fox would not hesitate to slip away in the event of a disaster, only now he hesitated. "At least I have to make sure that the fortress can't be defended before I escape."

  The mercenaries will not surrender. They are either from Sweden or Finland, and even new Slavs. The captured Swedes will be killed. Finns and Slavs may not die. They are also slaves for a lifetime. After all, they are not killed in battle. What awaits everyone is a tragic fate. Since the opponent could not give everyone the possibility of surviving, the brothers also united as never before.

   Will Stad really give the Ross people a chance to survive?

   He has given the order of Dag to kill him, swinging the steel sword with his big hand, and the general offensive order regardless of priority has been issued.

   Compared with the gang's roaring charge and killing only relying on brute force and number advantage to win the play tactics, Stad made a little more elaborate on the basis of this major premise.

   The number of step archers in the regular Frankish army is very low. Most of the time, the archers are just recruited forest hunters. The key to victory is brute force fighting. The situation here is even worse in Stade. Out of more than a thousand combat soldiers, only fifty bows were gathered, and fifty people were randomly selected to draw bows.

   Something is better than nothing. These archers first walked out of the shield wall array, and each took ten arrows to throw at the Ross. Many people can only shoot roughly at one target, and there are very few true precision shooters. As for the many battle results that projectile can bring, it is unknown, at least archery can bring morale blessing to one's own troops.
