It is not easy to land on the beach in any era. In Rurik's estimation, the landing of the Ross Army will not encounter the enemy's fatal charge when the landing field is just established.

But the fact has already happened. Although there is a high probability that the enemy is best prepared for the decisive battle, Rurik and the nobles never imagined that the decisive battle will be at the seaside.

All elite soldiers, flag commanders, allied nobles, and even all grassroots soldiers are facing enormous pressure.

Behold! The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th flag teams were the first to land as elite troops. Some soldiers from each flag team had just arrived, and the longboats were still pushing out of the beach to provide berths for their successors.

It was when the Ross Army was in a hurry that a large group of enemies appeared.

The elite warriors built a shield wall to meet the impact and slammed into the enemy!

Those dashing Danish Robards knew that as long as they hit the Russ soldiers on the first contact, the next battle would be in their favor.

However, they all felt like they were hitting a wall!

When the collision occurred, the backward warrior stepped on the waistband of his predecessor's trousers, stepped on his shoulders, and rushed forward with a battle axe in a fearless manner. Such a bold warrior hopes to open the situation with his own death, so that the follow-up clansmen can successfully break the Rus's army.

From Ross's perspective, the warriors probably knew that their enemies were mainly the Danish Robard tribe. The huge population of this tribe has its own glory, but the brothers can't imagine that these Danish warriors are so brave,

The sword was jabbing, the battle axe slashing. The soldier held his thick shield against his body, clenched his teeth and stabbed the front with all kinds of strength. No matter whether he was stabbed or not, the stab didn't dare to stop.

"Hold on! Don't retreat!"

"Don't be afraid of death! Resist them!"

"Your Majesty has landed! Your Majesty is overseeing the battle in person! Don't let them approach your Majesty."

"Hum..."

"Ah ah ah ah..."

The roars and howls were intertwined.

On the other side of the battlefield, the Robards, who charged decisively and fell into battle, roared.

"Hurry up and drive these Rus people into the sea to feed the fish!"

"Kill them for glory."

"Avenge Havgen Boss! Kill their Rurik!"

Likewise, the cry of the Robards was drowned out by the roar.

It was a hasty battle, and Rurik knew without even thinking about the unprecedented crisis he faced.

What is the last stand? It is now.

Rurik drew his steel sword and ordered the guards to hold the special temperament inlaid with gold high up. He walked himself to the battle-scorched front, the flag advancing with him.

The drums of war were beating wildly, the horns were blaring, and Rurik showed his presence with great fanfare. This was to challenge the enemy to be here, and it was to cheer the soldiers who insisted on fighting.

The persevering warriors saw their king, and the king's flag with a gold border was walking towards them.

The king will directly join the battle! He is an invincible great victory! Like his father, Otto, as desperate for his life.

Behold! Those warriors with bear heads! And the violent flashes of their reflections in the sun.

The captain of the Guards, Grund, is no longer young. He is no longer a free mercenary, but an "iron man" under the command of King Ross.

"Iron Man! Follow me! Blood sacrifice Odin!"

Grund and his men are redefined berserkers, their chests have been replaced with a whole piece of heavy quenched carbon steel breastplates, and ordinary hand axes can only leave small marks. The shoulders, arms, and legs of the soldiers are protected by iron sheets, and even the weak crotch has an "iron skirt". Such excessive precautions are unique in today's northern, western and eastern Europe, and the other one that can do this is Eastern Rome.

The one hundred "iron men" are all specially selected strong men. They either hold double-edged long axes with spearheads, or short halberds in both hands. There are also many people who hold double swords.

Iron man goes out to fight, specializing in tough battles. Instead of forming a formation, they held a variety of melee weapons on the head of a ferocious bear, and deliberately let the enemy besiege them in order to kill them with one enemy and ten.

They had long since stripped off their Rusian tabards for the shiny metallic sheen of warrior armor.

Because the enemy is Horrick! For Grund, in the battle of Goldfrehagen, dozens of his brothers died in the battle. This battle was to avenge the blood of that year.

It has to be said that these bear-headed warriors are too conspicuous.

Horrick, who was standing in the distance and deliberately did not charge with the elite armored soldiers, his current behavior is very thief, but when he saw those "iron men with chests" breaking away from the precarious front of the Ross Army, he suddenly felt a chill from his toes. to the brain.

He thought of the disgusting battle that year, in order to kill these iron men, he killed too many brothers.

Although the Iron Man is not really invulnerable, if the spear is stabbed at the weak point of his armor, the Iron Man will become a dead man.

However, can these Robard fishermen soldiers and farmer soldiers do it? Killing an iron man would cost twenty lives.

"Boss, those Iron Bears have appeared, what should we do? Will we help?" one of the followers asked nervously.

"Don't act rashly. Let's look at the battle situation again! Also, take away our flags." Horrick ordered this very entangled.

In fact, Horrick noticed that these Robards did not immediately rush the Rus army into the ocean, and once the battle entered a state of anxiety, it was already detrimental to him.

He put away the flag to hide his existence and avoid being attacked by the Rus people.

But such a move was seen by other allied tribal armies of the "Christian Denmark" who were standing still. These tribal lords retreated when they saw the huge fleet of Ross. Now the war situation is unfavorable, and Horrick has also lowered the flag. Is this guy? To escape! ?

The Danish army is already a kind of crusade, but the Robard tribe has not changed their minds immediately, and they are not willing to raise the cross flag with great fanfare.

What Horrick asked to put down was a cross flag, and other allied troops watching the battle also had such flags.

When the cross flag is erected, each division can distinguish the enemy from me. When the flag disappears, it is basically equivalent to the disappearance of an army. Whether it is to die in battle or to flee, the absence of the flag is the same as defeat. Horrick hadn't thought of this layer for a while.

A lord persuaded his heart and ordered: "Horrick is a coward, he is going to run! Even if the Robards are brave, they will die. Brothers, let's go!"

A 200-strong "Christian Denmark" Allied Force voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield, which immediately caused a chain reaction, and the rest of the tribal army evacuated one after another.

This scene was also seen by Horrick.

The short, round-headed man stomped his feet violently to vent his anger, and yelled: "How can there be an ally like you! How can you flee without a fight?"

Horrick is also not qualified to speak of those so-called cowards, his own elite troops are heartbroken.

Many people suggested: "The Robards may not last long, and we should also think about a retreat."

Rationally, Horrick didn't want to die here. Of course, before the war, he gave his brothers a boost of momentum. The so-called battle in front of him would be a glorious death if he did not win.

But the threat of death does appear, and running away is a strategy.

"It's a big deal. I took my brother and fled to the Frankish territory. Ludwig is just hiring someone, so he can't let me go. Maybe this will give me a legal title."

Yes, what Horlick has done these years is that he hopes to become a great noble, not the king of Denmark, but also to be a vassal of Frank.

Now Robard is not going to collapse, maybe they can still win, even if the victory is a crushing victory.

So the battlefield became very strange. Horrick was selling his teammates by this move. He was watching the battle with 500 last cronies. It was like sitting on a mountain and watching tigers fight.

The Rus army suffered casualties on all fronts, and more troops landed on the shore. It was the Allied Forces of the Dukes of Sweden, the Allied Forces of Gothenburg, and the Allied Forces of Finland, which focused on fire aid.

The location of the battlefield is beyond the reach of the ship-borne torsion slingshot, and the heavy weapons that the Ross Army is proud of are temporarily unavailable.

Combat turns into an authentic Viking mode, until the Iron Man fights back from the frenzied attack of the Robards through his own lines.

The battle axe is slashing, the halberd is stabbing, the steel sword is slashing.

And the arrows whizzing past Iron Man's head!

Yevro rushed to the king's flag and told King Rurik of his concerns: "My longbowmen will continue to support even if their arms are exhausted, but the arrows will now focus on Grund and them."

Rurik faced coldly: "I don't care about their casualties, I care about whether the enemy was shot by you! I want to win!"

"Ah...you are so cold?"

"This is war! Listen, immediately switch to broad-blade hunting arrows, not armor-piercing arrows with pointed cones. Shoot as far away as possible, and shoot with all your might."

Yevlo heard some clues, and he no longer hesitated for a moment. He immediately returned to the sea and ordered the 600 Finnish longbowmen who were in the water to fight according to the king's order.

Now the battle situation is tense, and all kinds of crossbows are of limited use. These bows are used for fire support in the air, and at this moment, the longbow is still showing great power.

The Ross Army just bullied the enemy's lack of armor, and the conical armor-piercing arrows against strong enemies were out of date. The broad-blade hunting arrows were exclusively used for all kinds of unarmored soldiers, but these arrows were meaningless for heavily armored soldiers.

Grund's face was covered by a mask, leaving only the observation window and breathing port. The physical strength of him and his brothers was limited. Behind them were a large number of corpses and howling people. In front of them, the Robards felt fear.

The iron armor was bleeding, the battle axe was bleeding, and the heavy armor concealed the berserker's panting.

Several iron men were stabbed to death, and the rest had no time to take care of their dead brothers.

Iron men lined up and continued to move forward.

Look at the Robards again, their arrays are chiseled like wedges by iron men, and their formations are being divided by the Rus army.

The arrows continued to inflict damage to the Robard tribal soldiers, and they began to retreat, completely withdrawing from the theoretical maximum firing range of the shipboard Torsion Slingshot.

Looking at the Ross Army, although preparations were rushed, all kinds of heavy weapons were temporarily useless, and the battle situation had turned to the Ross Army.

The ground was littered with the corpses of Robard soldiers, and the most wounded were assassinated by the Rus.

The dead of the Ross army was pulled out, and even with one breath left, they were pulled to the rear. Fierce battles are raging on the front line, and rescue efforts from the rear are also unfolding non-stop.

The most urgent task is to stop the bleeding of the wounded soldiers, so prefabricated hemp ropes and cloth strips bind the injured limbs, and those with fatal injuries to the chest and neck can only be left to die.

The Ross Army tried its best to rescue wounded soldiers that hardly existed in this era, and a team of auxiliary personnel actually played the role of military doctors.

Rurik and the soldiers had no time to pay attention to the casualties, their elites withstood the attack, and the elite Iron Man had opened a gap!

The arrow slammed into Grund's Iron Man, making a single scratch and the arrow shattered. There are even warriors whose chests are decorated with horrific longbows and arrows, as if the soldiers had been shot in the head.

This is inconceivable to the Robards who are constantly retreating, and those tribal nobles who are determined to fight the battle are puzzled.

"This is a monster! They are not killed by arrows in their heads?!"

The Iron Man continued to move forward, because the brothers were exhausted and did not dare to run wildly, which was precisely the reason why their pressing step by step was even more terrifying.

The various troops of the Ross Army landed as soon as possible. They were densely packed and probably neatly dressed. Their lines were still unbreakable, shields piled up against walls, and behind them were warriors with iron helmets and feathers, and a forest of flags.

Behind them the arrows seemed to be infinite, causing casualties to the Robards behind them.

The scorching battlefield changed greatly. Although the Robards did not flee, the two armies had spontaneously maintained a distance of about twenty meters.

At this time, I finally gave the crossbow hand a chance! The crossbowmen in the second row sent the winch-wound steel-arm crossbow to the front line, and the brothers immediately fired from the gap in the front line shield wall after receiving it, and then sent the finished crossbow to the rear.

This is also the manifestation of the Ross Arrow Formation. Like an assembly line, the loaded crossbow is sent to the front line. In the eyes of the Robards, the deadly arrows of the Ross are everywhere!

His wooden shield could not block heavy arrows, even light arrows were as terrifying.

Flat shooting, projectiles, the battlefield became three-dimensional, the Russ army stabilized the front after paying a certain amount of losses, the whole is like a huge road roller being crushed.

And the tried-and-true pincer offensive of the Ross Army has also begun the encirclement action!

Perhaps, this is another re-enactment of the Battle of Wessingase Island! The veterans thought so.

The Robards, a powerful force in the Danish world, are dying under the attack of the Rus army. The Gothalan Allies in Gothenburg were fortunate to have joined the battle as a member of the Allied Forces. Now, the Gothenburg Army and the Swedish Ankras Army are joining forces, and are being led by the blue fox to join the encirclement from the left flank...

collapse! Just in an instant.

As a local nobleman of the Robard tribe died of an arrow pierced through his head, his people hurried away, pulling the corpse.

In the eyes of the people who suffered huge casualties, even their nobles have now abandoned everyone.

Can't go on any longer, run for the possibility of survival!

Where did you escape to? People don't know or have time to think, the escape instinct controls the two legs.

The subsequent collapse was clearly seen by Horrick, who continued to watch the battle, and his subordinates were furious.

"Boss, this group of Robards actually failed."

"They're charging backwards, but they're not the ones who surrendered the Rus to fight us."

Indeed, because of the defeat in 838, Horrick's prestige in the Robard tribe plummeted. If everyone was not "working together to fight against Luo", a civil war would have broken out long ago.

"Maybe it's a reverse charge. Let's go." Horrick ordered.

But where to go? Naturally, he ran towards the Lindholm Isthmus controlled by the Frankish vassal and Sax nobleman Ludov.

Although Horrick did not think that the castle he built was indestructible, at least it could delay the pursuit of the Russ army, enough time for him to escape to the Frankish territory.

Horrick completely ignored the life and death of the Robards~www.novelhall.com~ He placed some horses and some vehicles in Robard's village. The brothers fled back, took some available things, especially silver coins and jewelry, and hurried back south on horses or carriages.

Special attention should also be paid to taking away the priest who was placed in the village of Robard. After all, the priest died in the war, and it is difficult to explain to the ascetic "Northern Saint" Eskil.

He no longer cares about the life and death of others, because the war has become such an ulcer-like situation, his self-proclaimed "Christian King of Denmark" is a joke, and his real title of "Denmark Count" must exist in name only.

After all, he is currently some of the minor vassals of the Franks in legal terms. If the Russ hit him in the face, wouldn’t he just hit the face of the Frankish nobles?

He made up his mind, and took his cronies back to the Aleb Fortress in the Isthmus of Lindholm as quickly as possible. Anything will be discussed later. Now it's really a bit of a grind, the brothers all have to die.
