The Count of Bremen assembled his main cavalry to face the Normans. They lined up and rode forward on the wall.
In the beginning, the horses were jogging. According to the plan, they naturally started to accelerate at the last minute.
Theoretically, the leading cavalry would skim the enemy's line with a spear, and choose the opportunity to insert the spear into the enemy. After completing a surprise attack, they are often withdrawn so that the cavalry behind can continue to kill the enemy. This is exactly like a wave-like offensive. Waves of cavalry jabs will eventually consume the morale of the enemy. When the formation has a groove, this is the moment when the wall-mounted charge strikes a fatal blow.
However, the Russ and the Franks have completely different military styles!
The torsion slingshot was launched at full force, and just as the Frank Cavalry trot to accelerate and accumulate power, the spinning cast iron projectile smashed over.
Compared with beating people, the battlehorse leading people is obviously a bigger goal!
Even though the horse's head and chest were covered with a layer of chain mail, the half-pound cone-shaped cast-iron bullet smashed at high speed, and the sharp head directly pierced the gap in the chain mail, and directly pierced the muscle and hit the heart.
Even the horse's head was smashed into its skull and its eyes were smashed.
The Russ army had experience in combat with the British cavalry, and understood the benefits of intensive use of torsion slingshots.
In this throw of the world, all the torsion slingshots completed a critical strike. As the most elite combat power, the Earl's heavy cavalry instantly lost half of it!
A large number of horses fell to the ground injured, and the accident delayed the advance of the light cavalry in the rear.
Earl Hunter’s face was splattered with the blood of others, a comrade-in-arms was beaten to half of his face, and the man had fallen down with his horse and man.
The sudden sight shocked him because he didn't have time to think, because it was followed by random arrows.
"Raise! Heavy arrows! Throwing!" Evlo ordered from the deck of the ship.
The Finnish bow he has been on standby for shooting heavy arrows with a longbow. The arrow cluster is made of carbon steel with barbeds. The more the arrow weighs a quarter of a pound, it is suitable for the current battlefield environment.
But before the heavy arrow that fell from the sky, the Russian crossbow fired first.
The few warriors with steel-armed crossbows no longer have to complain that they are overpowered by carrying such a heavy object.
The same is a half-pound crossbow arrow with a powerful potential energy that hits the remaining horses that are still charging, although they can't penetrate directly into the internal organs, but also make the horse's chest muscles stiff.
More horses fell directly, and even Earl Hunt could not be spared this blow.
"what!"
With a scream, the horse throws him out. Its mount rolled forward, fell heavily and broke its leg.
Poor Hunter, the back of the horse pressed his legs. For this battle, he specially wore iron-plated cowhide armor and another lock armor. The defensive ability was not weak. It was this heavy armor that made it difficult for him to get out of his own power.
"Ah! My head... my hands!"
"Ah! It hurts!"
He saw an arrow pierced into his basically defenseless leg, only then realized that the swish in his ear was the arrow falling.
Because the legs of heavy cavalry are mainly protected by two small shields, when necessary, the dismounted cavalry can abandon the heavy cavalry shield and protect the body with a small shield.
Hunter immediately grabbed his fallen oak shield and placed it on his torso. He heard a loud noise, and his arms trembled.
Then, looking at the inexplicable sharp object in front of him, the whole person smiled stupidly.
A heavy arrow directly pierced this oak shield by the potential energy of gravity. Thanks to this shield, Hunter did not die on the spot.
The slingshot, crossbow, and longbow were three-pronged, and the first round of salvo prevented the entire cavalry from advancing. Most of the elite heavy cavalry were killed or injured, but a large number of light cavalry knew exactly what had happened, and they were still pushing forward.
In addition to the Ross Alliance, the fighting became like this in Arik’s estimation, but in Ragnar’s view, it seemed that Odin had bestowed the sacred power on the brothers, but it was just shooting arrows. The fierce Frankish cavalry was actually big. Mass casualties?
Ragnar couldn't help but beat the shield with his sword hilt, and subconsciously yelled at himself: "Brothers get ready, we go up and chop them."
This was really heard by Arik.
"Brother Ragnar, wait a minute! When our arrows completely smash their fighting spirit, you rush forward and chop them into mash!"
"Alright alright……"
Ragnar couldn't help but reclaim it, and just behind him, the ten big ships became ten floating arrow towers.
The Finnish longbowmen no longer need to aim, the enemy cavalry is a big target, and Jevlo's command is extremely simple, that is, the heavy arrows are stored to almost the same strength and fired.
When I realized that the enemy was already an unarmored cavalry, and it took some time to recharge the torsion slingshot, I replaced it with a javelin this time.
These longbowmen are all short and short, and they are all elites carefully selected by Yevlo. Almost everyone's arms are thick with thighs. They were professional hunters in their hometown, and now they are the most suitable soldiers for manipulating longbows.
The Finnish archers shot freely and took the heavy arrows to the left. Now that the remaining cavalry of the enemy had bitten their heads and got closer, they started shooting with precision. After the heavy arrows were shot quickly, they switched to light arrows.
The number of crossbowmen surpassed that of the cavalry who are still advancing. The Frankish cavalry has now lost its assault ability, and the formation has become chaotic. Their morale has not collapsed and they are worthy of their profession.
Arik was very satisfied with the current situation. At first, he was really in awe of the cavalry. Now it seems that it is more like the Frankish nobles feel that the looting of the Ross Alliance is too exhausted and eager to send horse meat.
"Still still?" Ragnar urged.
"continue waiting!"
"Why? I can't wait."
"Keep on!" Ragnar thought for a while, and simply yelled: "If you counterattack, it's okay. My arrows don't have long eyes."
"whispering sound……"
Ragnar understood that the Ross army was not fighting. They were killing the Franks indiscriminately and showing off their strength. He also had to admire that if such an army lands in Denmark, the Danish coalition forces will be assembled, even if it is a big defeat. At this time, he believed that the guys in Gotland were indeed annihilated by the Duke of Ross.
Under the absolute arrow strike, the offensive of the three hundred Frankish cavalry was completely disintegrated.
If he knows that there will be such a result, Earl Hunter may stay away from attacking at all, or think about nothing, organize all the cavalry to charge without brain, that is, lead the cavalry directly into it, at least it will be able to achieve the result.
Now it's alright, Frank's super-long cavalry spear hasn't achieved any smashing results, and the entire cavalry team has been brought down!
The last fifty cavalry soldiers in despair hovered among the corpses and the creeping wounded soldiers, but the precise killing continued.
The people holding the torsion slingshot on the big boat are urging the other guys to hurry up, for fear that the prey in front of him will run away.
The javelin is installed in the launch slot filled with whale oil, and the javelin is accurately concentrated.
Continuing to rely on here to attack weakly, I am afraid that Lord Earl will also die. Brothers say they are also the little lords of the place. Last time they are also the people with a lot of land. They are the people with the face in the village. How can they just die on the riverside like this?
Morale collapsed, and troops were absolutely scarce.
They chose to retreat, after all, it was only more than 30 riders who successfully escaped from the battlefield.
Seeing someone running away, Ragnar really couldn't stand still anymore.
Regardless of whether Arik had other requests, he banged his shield violently, causing the trumpeter to sound the horn.
All the elite soldiers of the Stonewall tribe held high swords and battle axes, and rushed to the battlefield where the cavalry was lying down not far away.
This scene is just like Agincourt, except that the overall defense of the cavalry is weak. The Ross military uses weapons that destroy the ship's deck to deal with them, actually using a strong spear to poke a paper shield.
The horses suppressed the cavalry and made them immobile, which was very similar to Agincourt.
As for the follow-up infantry slashing and killing the unable to move cavalry, it is exactly the same.
Ragnar killed the three indiscriminately. He didn't want to keep any alive, and personally stabbed the three of them.
This group of Danes was once surrounded and suppressed by this group of cavalry like prey. Such a grievance was avenged by the desire to turn the battlefield into a meat joint factory.
Earl Hunter was still alive when he was found, but three big beard Danes with strange braids smashed his head directly with prisoners of war. The reason for this is because they saw that this person's lock armor is very thick, and this good thing must be quickly picked off and taken for themselves, so a head delayed the brothers from picking up clothes.
What's left is not fighting, but the carnival of the Vikings in corpse picking.
Arik didn’t want them to **** good things away, so he slowly ordered: "Brothers, go and get the arrow back as far as possible. Chop off the horse's legs against the axe!"
The blue fox, Spuyut, Tralang...A mixed list of Russian soldiers rushed forward happily. Everyone didn't think that they could get anything good from the enemy, but the dead horses were all good meat.
So, when the Ross people get into battle, the battlefield has indeed become a meat joint factory.
Everyone is not a cannibal monster. Most of the dead soldiers were pulled out. Out of venting their anger, the corpses were thrown directly into the Weser River and let it flow down into the sea.
A magnificent corpse was found, his head missing, and the armor on his body was gone, but the lining clothes were very elegant and he was not general at all.
who is he?
The corpse was dragged to the river, waiting to be thrown into the water.
This person is completely different from those ordinary people. Both Arik and Ragnar think this is the "war chief" of the cavalry team.
Maybe the blue fox can know the truth.
No, the Blue Fox was invited over, but his identity could not be known based on the current evidence.
"Someone took this man's equipment. Ragnar, go to your people and ask, have you robbed a gorgeous dead man. At least let me see what good things they have robbed."
"For example, this sword?!" Ragnar immediately took out the iron sword he had just obtained. It was intact, and even the scabbard was intact.
With this thing alone, the cautious blue fox completely soothed his expression.
He looked at Ragnar and then at Arik, and smiled: "Now I can say that we killed the Count of Bremen."
"Is it the local nobleman?"
"Yes, we lost his city, killed his family, and now kill him himself."
"Then, I will get revenge! Many Danes' hatreds have been avenged by our help." Ragnar said with a sense of relief, he immediately asked: "In this way, there will be no other local fighters to stop us. NS?"
"It should be so." Arik nodded.
"In this way, we should not rush away. We continue to looting and search for more property."
"Enough is enough. My big boat is full of wheat and wool, and I can no longer squeeze new belongings into it."
Ragnar shook his head disdainfully: "You are so in love with wheat? Of course wheat is very important, but there is more important than the search for gold and silver? I now take the tribe all the way to robbery, can live a good life. We should Continue to work together to make further money."
Hearing this description, Arik also understood the pattern of this person.
Arik does not say that he is a person with a large structure. Facing the development of Ross, he is also deeply aware of the importance of wheat to the entire Principality-more important than gold and silver.
A large number of people need a lot of storage-resistant wheat. If there is an expedition mission, bringing a large amount of wheat on the expedition can not only maintain an army of thousands of people, but also maintain morale and confidence for several months.
Arik insists on leaving, and Spuyute and his team will return to Saaremaa with the captured woman. Even Spuyute still has another task to do. Although the time is a bit tight to go back to the island and then to Britain, it is better to leave the Weser Estuary now and head directly to Britain and Northumbria. Ask for wheat tribute.
What else can Ragnar do? He still has some emotions.
The blue fox patted the giant on the shoulder: "Brother, if you want to unite, you must unite with our prince. Your tribe has been wandering for more than half a year, and there should be a warm and safe place to live through the winter. The sooner you arrive in Ross, The more the people of the tribe can settle down sooner, even if there is a new raid, it is better to put it next year."
Ragnar's heart softened by being so coaxed. He also has two sons. The young son cannot be assured of safety. The tribe is wandering outside. This winter is afraid that many people will freeze to death.
"Then stop here! My people have robbed enough money. I hope you people of Ross can keep your promise. My people can indeed buy ten pounds of oats at your market with silver coins."
Arik slapped his chest: "I can assure you. Just be careful. In Rose, you have to follow Rose's rules. If some people commit a crime, they will be punished accordingly. For example, be punished for logging."
Regardless of whether the corpse is Earl Hunter, the corpse is likely to be.
The poor earl was stripped like a retired pig and thrown directly into the Weser River. Almost all the corpses found were thrown into the river, while the Ross Allied forces hugged horse legs on the blood-stained river beach and ate them.
They also deliberately roasted a batch of horse meat, grilling the meat again and then baking it to become jerky. The coalition forces need to make dry food when returning to the voyage. Due to the lack of conditions for making wheat cakes, the Viking tradition of making jerky Skills are popular, but it takes a little longer.
The most elite forces in the entire Bremen region have been annihilated. Is there any other army that can threaten the coalition?
Also due to traffic difficulties and information obstruction, Prince Ludwig’s main army is now stationed in Hamburg, but the local materials are not enough to maintain the temporary stationing of the huge army, and it can still be maintained purely because of the Danish King Horlick’s exchange. A batch of oats came out to buy peace. The prince had already planned to bring the army to Bremen for a tour to see the results of Earl Hunter’s suppression of bandits. After that, he went to Flanders for a tour, and took the army to the Sino-Francian border to Golo Tyre shows off his muscles.
It was a mixed army of foot and horse, and they needed a batch of supplies in Bremen. The structure of this army is also destined to have a slow marching speed~www.novelhall.com~ The prince did not know that Bremen had a disaster no less than the collapse of the sky, and his army was already slowing down. Go south.
The Ross Allied forces have completed the final reorganization, especially the big ship Salmon Chief, whose flagship position has been given to the Gray Squirrel, and most of the materials in the cabin have been transferred, except for those prisoners who were required to burn and cook.
Sailing cruisers, sailing destroyers, armed cargo ships, long rowing boats, a mixed fleet of more than 800 people, they split at the mouth of the Weser River.
The Duchy of Ross will go to Northumbria to collect tribute every year, by the way, visit the Viking Kingdom of York, which has rarely been contacted recently, and bring home with 50 tons of British wheat. This fate is also destined to be the feat of the Saarema islanders who were on board leaving the European continent to meet the world.
The main coalition fleet continued to move along the coast, passing the Elbe estuary, if the cabin is empty, Arik and Ragnar are willing to grab another one.
The return journey was peaceful. Whether it was near the Danish Strait or Bornholm Island, the local fishermen had a **** lesson and knew that they had to stay away from this terrible fleet.
No force dared to stop the Ross Fleet. They brought huge amounts of spoils and new allies to triumph...

They lined up and rode forward on the wall.In the beginning, the horses were jogging. According to the plan, they naturally started to accelerate at the last minute.Theoretically, the leading cavalry would skim the enemy's line with a spear, and choose the opportunity to insert the spear into the enemy. After completing a surprise attack, they are often withdrawn so that the cavalry behind can continue to kill the enemy. This is exactly like a wave-like offensive. Waves of cavalry jabs will eventually consume the morale of the enemy. When the formation has a groove, this is the moment when the wall-mounted charge strikes a fatal blow.However, the Russ and the Franks have completely different military styles!The torsion slingshot was launched at full force, and just as the Frank Cavalry trot to accelerate and accumulate power, the spinning cast iron projectile smashed over.Compared with beating people, the battlehorse leading people is obviously a bigger goal!Even though the horse's head and chest were covered with a layer of chain mail, the half-pound cone-shaped cast-iron bullet smashed at high speed, and the sharp head directly pierced the gap in the chain mail, and directly pierced the muscle and hit the heart.Even the horse's head was smashed into its skull and its eyes were smashed.The Russ army had experience in combat with the British cavalry, and understood the benefits of intensive use of torsion slingshots.In this throw of the world, all the torsion slingshots completed a critical strike. As the most elite combat power, the Earl's heavy cavalry instantly lost half of it!A large number of horses fell to the ground injured, and the accident delayed the advance of the light cavalry in the rear.Earl Hunter's face was splattered with the blood of others, a comrade-in-arms was beaten to half of his face, and the man had fallen down with his horse and man.The sudden sight shocked him because he didn't have time to think, because it was followed by random arrows."Raise! Heavy arrows! Throwing!" Evlo ordered from the deck of the ship.The Finnish bow he has been on standby for shooting heavy arrows with a longbow. The arrow cluster is made of carbon steel with barbeds. The more the arrow weighs a quarter of a pound, it is suitable for the current battlefield environment.But before the heavy arrow that fell from the sky, the Russian crossbow fired first.The few warriors with steel-armed crossbows no longer have to complain that they are overpowered by carrying such a heavy object.The same is a half-pound crossbow arrow with a powerful potential energy that hits the remaining horses that are still charging, although they can't penetrate directly into the internal organs, but also make the horse's chest muscles stiff.More horses fell directly, and even Earl Hunt could not be spared this blow."what!"With a scream, the horse throws him out. Its mount rolled forward, fell heavily and broke its leg.Poor Hunter, the back of the horse pressed his legs. For this battle, he specially wore iron-plated cowhide armor and another lock armor. The defensive ability was not weak. It was this heavy armor that made it difficult for him to get out of his own power."Ah! My head... my hands!""Ah! It hurts!"He saw an arrow pierced into his basically defenseless leg, only then realized that the swish in his ear was the arrow falling.Because the legs of heavy cavalry are mainly protected by two small shields, when necessary, the dismounted cavalry can abandon the heavy cavalry shield and protect the body with a small shield.Hunter immediately grabbed his fallen oak shield and placed it on his torso. He heard a loud noise, and his arms trembled.Then, looking at the inexplicable sharp object in front of him, the whole person smiled stupidly.A heavy arrow directly pierced this oak shield by the potential energy of gravity. Thanks to this shield, Hunter did not die on the spot.The slingshot, crossbow, and longbow were three-pronged, and the first round of salvo prevented the entire cavalry from advancing. Most of the elite heavy cavalry were killed or injured, but a large number of light cavalry knew exactly what had happened, and they were still pushing forward.In addition to the Ross Alliance, the fighting became like this in Arik's estimation, but in Ragnar's view, it seemed that Odin had bestowed the sacred power on the brothers, but it was just shooting arrows. The fierce Frankish cavalry was actually big. Mass casualties?Ragnar couldn't help but beat the shield with his sword hilt, and subconsciously yelled at himself: "Brothers get ready, we go up and chop them."This was really heard by Arik."Brother Ragnar, wait a minute! When our arrows completely smash their fighting spirit, you rush forward and chop them into mash!""Alright alright"Ragnar couldn't help but reclaim it, and just behind him, the ten big ships became ten floating arrow towers.The Finnish longbowmen no longer need to aim, the enemy cavalry is a big target, and Jevlo's command is extremely simple, that is, the heavy arrows are stored to almost the same strength and fired.When I realized that the enemy was already an unarmored cavalry, and it took some time to recharge the torsion slingshot, I replaced it with a javelin this time.These longbowmen are all short and short, and they are all elites carefully selected by Yevlo. Almost everyone's arms are thick with thighs. They were professional hunters in their hometown, and now they are the most suitable soldiers for manipulating longbows.The Finnish archers shot freely and took the heavy arrows to the left. Now that the remaining cavalry of the enemy had bitten their heads and got closer, they started shooting with precision. After the heavy arrows were shot quickly, they switched to light arrows.The number of crossbowmen surpassed that of the cavalry who are still advancing. The Frankish cavalry has now lost its assault ability, and the formation has become chaotic. Their morale has not collapsed and they are worthy of their profession.Arik was very satisfied with the current situation. At first, he was really in awe of the cavalry. Now it seems that it is more like the Frankish nobles feel that the looting of the Ross Alliance is too exhausted and eager to send horse meat."Still still?" Ragnar urged."continue waiting!""Why? I can't wait.""Keep on!" Ragnar thought for a while, and simply yelled: "If you counterattack, it's okay. My arrows don't have long eyes.""whispering sound"Ragnar understood that the Ross army was not fighting. They were killing the Franks indiscriminately and showing off their strength. He also had to admire that if such an army lands in Denmark, the Danish coalition forces will be assembled, even if it is a big defeat. At this time, he believed that the guys in Gotland were indeed annihilated by the Duke of Ross.Under the absolute arrow strike, the offensive of the three hundred Frankish cavalry was completely disintegrated.If he knows that there will be such a result, Earl Hunter may stay away from attacking at all, or think about nothing, organize all the cavalry to charge without brain, that is, lead the cavalry directly into it, at least it will be able to achieve the result.Now it's alright, Frank's super-long cavalry spear hasn't achieved any smashing results, and the entire cavalry team has been brought down!The last fifty cavalry soldiers in despair hovered among the corpses and the creeping wounded soldiers, but the precise killing continued.The people holding the torsion slingshot on the big boat are urging the other guys to hurry up, for fear that the prey in front of him will run away.The javelin is installed in the launch slot filled with whale oil, and the javelin is accurately concentrated.Continuing to rely on here to attack weakly, I am afraid that Lord Earl will also die. Brothers say they are also the little lords of the place. Last time they are also the people with a lot of land. They are the people with the face in the village. How can they just die on the riverside like this?Morale collapsed, and troops were absolutely scarce.They chose to retreat, after all, it was only more than 30 riders who successfully escaped from the battlefield.Seeing someone running away, Ragnar really couldn't stand still anymore.Regardless of whether Arik had other requests, he banged his shield violently, causing the trumpeter to sound the horn.All the elite soldiers of the Stonewall tribe held high swords and battle axes, and rushed to the battlefield where the cavalry was lying down not far away.This scene is just like Agincourt, except that the overall defense of the cavalry is weak. The Ross military uses weapons that destroy the ship's deck to deal with them, actually using a strong spear to poke a paper shield.The horses suppressed the cavalry and made them immobile, which was very similar to Agincourt.As for the follow-up infantry slashing and killing the unable to move cavalry, it is exactly the same.Ragnar killed the three indiscriminately. He didn't want to keep any alive, and personally stabbed the three of them.This group of Danes was once surrounded and suppressed by this group of cavalry like prey. Such a grievance was avenged by the desire to turn the battlefield into a meat joint factory.Earl Hunter was still alive when he was found, but three big beard Danes with strange braids smashed his head directly with prisoners of war. The reason for this is because they saw that this person's lock armor is very thick, and this good thing must be quickly picked off and taken for themselves, so a head delayed the brothers from picking up clothes.What's left is not fighting, but the carnival of the Vikings in corpse picking.Arik didn't want them to **** good things away, so he slowly ordered: "Brothers, go and get the arrow back as far as possible. Chop off the horse's legs against the axe!"The blue fox, Spuyut, Tralang...A mixed list of Russian soldiers rushed forward happily. Everyone didn't think that they could get anything good from the enemy, but the dead horses were all good meat.So, when the Ross people get into battle, the battlefield has indeed become a meat joint factory.Everyone is not a cannibal monster. Most of the dead soldiers were pulled out. Out of venting their anger, the corpses were thrown directly into the Weser River and let it flow down into the sea.A magnificent corpse was found, his head missing, and the armor on his body was gone, but the lining clothes were very elegant and he was not general at all.who is he?The corpse was dragged to the river, waiting to be thrown into the water.This person is completely different from those ordinary people. Both Arik and Ragnar think this is the "war chief" of the cavalry team.Maybe the blue fox can know the truth.No, the Blue Fox was invited over, but his identity could not be known based on the current evidence."Someone took this man's equipment. Ragnar, go to your people and ask, have you robbed a gorgeous dead man. At least let me see what good things they have robbed.""For example, this sword?!" Ragnar immediately took out the iron sword he had just obtained. It was intact, and even the scabbard was intact.With this thing alone, the cautious blue fox completely soothed his expression.He looked at Ragnar and then at Arik, and smiled: "Now I can say that we killed the Count of Bremen.""Is it the local nobleman?""Yes, we lost his city, killed his family, and now kill him himself.""Then, I will get revenge! Many Danes' hatreds have been avenged by our help." Ragnar said with a sense of relief, he immediately asked: "In this way, there will be no other local fighters to stop us. NS?""It should be so." Arik nodded."In this way, we should not rush away. We continue to looting and search for more property.""Enough is enough. My big boat is full of wheat and wool, and I can no longer squeeze new belongings into it."Ragnar shook his head disdainfully: "You are so in love with wheat? Of course wheat is very important, but there is more important than the search for gold and silver? I now take the tribe all the way to robbery, can live a good life. We should Continue to work together to make further money."Hearing this description, Arik also understood the pattern of this person.Arik does not say that he is a person with a large structure. Facing the development of Ross, he is also deeply aware of the importance of wheat to the entire Principality-more important than gold and silver.A large number of people need a lot of storage-resistant wheat. If there is an expedition mission, bringing a large amount of wheat on the expedition can not only maintain an army of thousands of people, but also maintain morale and confidence for several months.Arik insists on leaving, and Spuyute and his team will return to Saaremaa with the captured woman. Even Spuyute still has another task to do. Although the time is a bit tight to go back to the island and then to Britain, it is better to leave the Weser Estuary now and head directly to Britain and Northumbria. Ask for wheat tribute.What else can Ragnar do? He still has some emotions.The blue fox patted the giant on the shoulder: "Brother, if you want to unite, you must unite with our prince. Your tribe has been wandering for more than half a year, and there should be a warm and safe place to live through the winter. The sooner you arrive in Ross, The more the people of the tribe can settle down sooner, even if there is a new raid, it is better to put it next year."Ragnar's heart softened by being so coaxed. He also has two sons. The young son cannot be assured of safety. The tribe is wandering outside. This winter is afraid that many people will freeze to death."Then stop here! My people have robbed enough money. I hope you people of Ross can keep your promise. My people can indeed buy ten pounds of oats at your market with silver coins."Arik slapped his chest: "I can assure you. Just be careful. In Rose, you have to follow Rose's rules. If some people commit a crime, they will be punished accordingly. For example, be punished for logging."Regardless of whether the corpse is Earl Hunter, the corpse is likely to be.The poor earl was stripped like a retired pig and thrown directly into the Weser River. Almost all the corpses found were thrown into the river, while the Ross Allied forces hugged horse legs on the blood-stained river beach and ate them.They also deliberately roasted a batch of horse meat, grilling the meat again and then baking it to become jerky. The coalition forces need to make dry food when returning to the voyage. Due to the lack of conditions for making wheat cakes, the Viking tradition of making jerky Skills are popular, but it takes a little longer.The most elite forces in the entire Bremen region have been annihilated. Is there any other army that can threaten the coalition?Also due to traffic difficulties and information obstruction, Prince Ludwig's main army is now stationed in Hamburg, but the local materials are not enough to maintain the temporary stationing of the huge army, and it can still be maintained purely because of the Danish King Horlick's exchange. A batch of oats came out to buy peace. The prince had already planned to bring the army to Bremen for a tour to see the results of Earl Hunter's suppression of bandits. After that, he went to Flanders for a tour, and took the army to the Sino-Francian border to Golo Tyre shows off his muscles.It was a mixed army of foot and horse, and they needed a batch of supplies in Bremen. The structure of this army is also destined to have a slow marching speed~www.novelhall.com~ The prince did not know that Bremen had a disaster no less than the collapse of the sky, and his army was already slowing down. Go south.The Ross Allied forces have completed the final reorganization, especially the big ship Salmon Chief, whose flagship position has been given to the Gray Squirrel, and most of the materials in the cabin have been transferred, except for those prisoners who were required to burn and cook.Sailing cruisers, sailing destroyers, armed cargo ships, long rowing boats, a mixed fleet of more than 800 people, they split at the mouth of the Weser River.The Duchy of Ross will go to Northumbria to collect tribute every year, by the way, visit the Viking Kingdom of York, which has rarely been contacted recently, and bring home with 50 tons of British wheat. This fate is also destined to be the feat of the Saarema islanders who were on board leaving the European continent to meet the world.The main coalition fleet continued to move along the coast, passing the Elbe estuary, if the cabin is empty, Arik and Ragnar are willing to grab another one.The return journey was peaceful. Whether it was near the Danish Strait or Bornholm Island, the local fishermen had a **** lesson and knew that they had to stay away from this terrible fleet.No force dared to stop the Ross Fleet. They brought huge amounts of spoils and new allies to triumph...The address of the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik: https://The full text of the Rise of Rurik read the address: https://Rise of Rurik txt download address: https://The Rise of Rurik Mobile Reading: https://In order to facilitate the next reading, you can click "Favorites" below to record the reading record of this time Chapter 769 Cavalry, and you can see it next time you open the bookshelf!If you like "The Rise of Rurik", please recommend this book to your friends QQ, blog, WeChat, etc., thank you for your support! !
