The horses charged fast, the cavalry clasped the belly of the horse with their legs, bent their bows sideways, and shot precisely at the enemy who could not resist.

Now, even if Horrick brought some horses himself, because of a sudden attack, his men lost the opportunity to mount their horses to escape.

These people, who had only recently escaped from the northern battlefield, ushered in a one-sided killing near the Isthmus of Lindholm.

The round shield was filled with arrows, and Horrick had to order his surviving subordinates to form a circular shield wall to defend as much as possible. The priest they once protected has died from the arrow, and the living are forced to support.

"If this goes on, we will all die! We have to find a way!" Someone shouted vigorously.

Horlick gritted his teeth. Of course he wanted to escape, but now he had no chance to escape.

Because, under the stormy fire of the Ross cavalry, his warhorses fell dead as the target of public criticism.

"Bald" Fisk is not a fool, how could he let go of the enemy's horse? After all, the enemy has horses! Means this is the enemy's cavalry unit. When he thought of the Danes' cavalry, Fisk thought about it with his toes, and could tell that this might only be Horrick's elite, and they were also the group of people who successfully escaped from the last war.

New hatred and old hatred were superimposed, and Fisk decided that he had encountered the fattest prey this time. But now, he can't judge the specific identities of these people.

Horrick and his last subordinates could not escape, and the annular shield wall they formed could barely protect themselves. This kind of self-preservation is of course ineffective, soldiers are dying, and the entire army is being wiped out a little bit.

Now Fisk does not need any verbal orders at all. His cavalry forms a larger circle, which completely covers the enemy "circular shield wall".

The cavalry began to circle as a whole, and the arrows flew in without stopping and without dead ends.

The ground was full of dead bodies, as well as the dying wounded. The brown-yellow arrow feathers are inserted in the dark green grass, like wheat fields waiting to be harvested.

Finally, the final blow is now.

"Retract!" Fisk suddenly ordered.

After the melee, the cavalry gradually suspended their "death spin", and the cavalry regrouped again, and so far they also fired 60% of their arrows.

The cavalry's arms were sore, and the horses were panting.

The Assault Rally is a short rest and a final preparation for the fatal blow.

On the other side of the battlefield, Horrick, who was almost collapsed, was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

But then, he knew what was going to happen next. The poor man had no way out, and he had no capital to attack, just like a fat sheep to be slaughtered, he could only silently watch the butcher sharpen his knife.

Horrick had no new orders, and his last hundred or so subordinates could only stick to it. He didn't even want to negotiate with the Rus army, or rather, he had nothing to say to the Rus army that burned his capital.

Fisk took another look at the enemy. They were surrounded by corpses but they were still standing. They were really a group of real men. Unfortunately, they betrayed Odin.

"Brothers! Retract your fingers! Draw your swords!" Following Fisk's order, the Ross cavalry raised their steel swords aloft, gleaming fatally in the morning sun.

Suddenly, the swords advanced, and the Ross cavalry, resting for a while, began the final deadly wall charge.

Like a stone wall pressing over, Horrick watched all this happen in despair, and closed his eyes in despair...

The cavalry that Horrick used to be proud of, now even the remaining strength has disintegrated. He could no longer organize a charge on the wall, but his own archenemy, the Rus, did all this.

Horses' hooves trampled the dead body, and even the man and the horse weighed more than 400 kilograms, smashing Horrick's last army into a mess.

The battle is completely over after one round of collision.

The round-faced and chubby Horrick was knocked into a coma. He was not dead, but when he woke up again, he had been disarmed and his hands were tied, and he really became a sheep to be slaughtered.

There are still more than 30 prisoners like him. As for the others, they have all died in battle, or have been compensated by the Rus to end the pain.

At first, Horrick didn't want to reveal his identity.

But his living subordinates are extremely arrogant. After all, no one wants to be evaluated as "despicable as dung" by the Ross warriors.

Then someone shouted: "When we robbed Durist, you were still a group of baby boys! What kind of nobles do you think you are? The one who fought against you was the great King Horrick of Denmark!"

Fisk was shocked and trembled, and he found Horrick himself in the pile of corpses in an instant. If it wasn't for judging that he still snorts, Fisk really thinks this short and fat guy is dead.

right! squat!

Horrick's stature is short and stout, and he was one of the direct participants in the war two years ago. Fisk has a relationship with this guy. Unexpectedly, the king did not kill this guy in the second crusade, and was finally captured by himself.

After all, Horrick was a king, and capturing a king was worth more than killing it.

Immediately, Fisk was in a better mood. He was worried that he had lost some cavalry brothers, and the brothers who had sacrificed before capturing King Horrick of Denmark were not dead in vain.

...

Horrick wakes up, but why does he feel coquettish.

When he woke up, he saw a group of Ross people kicking their pants and laughing wildly.

Such a humiliation and anger made him want to stand up immediately and fight desperately, but just as he tried his best, he realized that his hands were tied.

After a while, Fisk came over with a steel sword. He deliberately showed his bald head, standing in front of him like an executioner.

The blade of the sword pointed directly at Horrick's chin, lying on the grass, bewildered.

"I know you! King Horrick of Denmark. We failed to kill you in Goldfrehagen two years ago, and this time you are in my hands."

"You? Who are you? Have pity on my fame, but I was humiliated by an unknown person."

"Really?" Fisk shrugged. "But you betrayed Odin. Killing you now is for the gods."

"Then let's do it! I still lost the battle, but I'm not reconciled!"

Horlick's gnashing of teeth really puzzled Fisk: "You lost, why are you unwilling? You don't have the strength to fight against our mighty Ross Kingdom. You've never been a king."

"Maybe! You at least tell me why you Russ are here, why do you have cavalry?!"

"Why? Why not."

Fisk didn't want to explain, he had already learned some information from the north from the mouths of other prisoners. The most crucial one was that the main force of King Rurik was looting the entire Robard tribe and the nearby tribes, and the army was also keep going south.

The prisoners who had finished speaking were completely useless, so a new order was issued, and those prisoners were stripped of their upper bodies in front of Horrick.

At this moment, Horlick was pressed to the grass, kneeling to witness the ensuing atrocity.

Most of the captives have been beheaded, and the remaining five were sentenced to the blood eagle in a vented manner because they verbally insulted Ross because of their imminent death.

Fisk stood in front of Horrick with a steel sword in his hand, his face was arrogant at the same time, and his brows were full of anger: "For the most sinful people, the blood eagle should be punished! From the far north to Denmark, to deal with the betrayal Austrian Traitors of Ding, we all do this. You see! This is the price of betraying Odin."

The prisoners were screaming and boiled, their bodies were tightly controlled, their flesh was cut from behind, their ribs were broken with a hand axe, and their lungs were directly pulled out. After this punishment, the prisoner died immediately, and Horrick's mental breakdown was caused by the horrific scene.

He asked back: "You Rus people, will you treat me like this?"

Fisk shook his head: "No. Since King Rurik is chasing you, it is still useful for me to keep you. You are our enemy, but unfortunately you have no soldiers now. I am going to the north and my king will reconcile, how? It is my king's will to deal with you."

...

The battlefield ravaged by cavalry was a mess, but the Rus army still took some time to clear the battlefield.

During the whole battle, no cavalry was lost, but some of the war horses suffered some skin injuries.

Considering that there will be no new operations in the future, the overall strength of the cavalry is damaged, which is not a big problem for Fisk.

The twenty horses of Horrick, who were still able to walk, were captured by him on this battlefield, and they were immediately incorporated into his own team to serve as pack mules.

The cavalry recovered arrows, recovered the enemy's weapons, and those corpses in chain mail, even if the armor was damaged, they had to be stripped off.

Many corpses were scattered on the grass, and their whitish appearance seemed to blink.

A lot of various iron weapons have been collected, and they are all the capital that Fisk can claim credit to the king.

The bigger "capital" is Horlick himself.

In the past, when the army arrived in Jutland, it made a strong landing, attacked the Russ shop in Hazelby with great might, jumped repeatedly between the beliefs of God and Odin throughout Denmark, caused the Danish civil war, and brought the Frank forces into the Viking world historically. Horrick, who has done so many great things, is now disarmed, stuffed with sackcloth to prevent tongue biting, his hands and feet are tied firmly, and he is fixed to the captured warhorse like the carcass of a hunting deer.

The cavalry no longer had to search for villages to plunder, and Fisk ordered the flags to be lit up and marched north in double column.

They didn't go long before they met the main force of the Rus army that was advancing by sea and land.

The cavalry had reached the village in the southern part of the Robard tribal territory and met the absolute main force of the Rus army here.

As for the large number of allies of the Rus army, especially the Swedish allies, these guys became robbers immediately after winning the landing battle.

Bjorn's Melalen Army, as well as the army of a large number of small nobles, their actions are really unworldly in the eyes of the real Ross Army, and even pots and pans and other objects need guns.

On the other hand, these absolute main forces from the Principality of Ross are the backbone of the Ross Army. After selectively looting some gold and silver and collecting available weapons and equipment, they are led by Rurik, regardless of the group of guys in the rear. Soldiers go south.

Because Horrick is alive and dead, there are all kinds of signs that this guy escaped for the second time.

Even calling him a coward is just an output to the air.

Rurik felt that since this person had lost the basics of the Robard tribe, he had the royal pirate Spuut, Medvedt's Slav army, and even a group of subordinates recruited by the new Danish king Ragnar. The long and narrow Jutland peninsula came to a "waist rib landing".

Jutland opened up two fronts, Horrick's power has collapsed, his political life has ended, and his personal life and death are not very important.

Of course Rurik could comfort himself with this, but it was a great pity that Horrick's body was not captured or found.

The top priority of the main Rus army is to join forces with the southern army, then swept the entire Jutland peninsula, and finally burn the war into the Frankish territory this autumn harvest.

For this strategy, the Ross Army did not have much time to waste.

So a miracle happened.

Was it not a miracle that the cavalry appeared? Their presence is equivalent to a miracle.

Starting in the spring, the fighting has continued into late July, with the warm period coming to an end. Rurik himself has never seen his cavalry, including his wife Pechenegger, Bejahir, since the cavalry was ordered to carry out the task alone after the Battle of Visingose ​​Island in Lake Wettern.

Goodbye now, his cavalry is still sturdy.

And their appearance was miraculous in the past, and the Ross Army's prestige suddenly shook!

Immediately afterwards, Rurik's regret instantly turned into the joy of revenge as a prisoner who was **** and unable to move was thrown down.

When the cavalry saw the king, they dismounted and saluted.

Rurik was so overjoyed that he didn't have time to consider any etiquette, so he hurried up to meet him and gave Fisk a fierce hug.

"Haha! It's a miracle that I actually saw you here, and my cavalry! Fisk, how do you know that this idiot Horrick is on the run!? You captured this villain, you are the great hero of the kingdom."

Hearing such a good reputation, Fisk also burst into laughter.

He added: "This must be the arrangement of the gods. I still have a lot to report to you. As for this Horrick, it is our gift."

"Okay! This guy is finally in our hands."

The main force of the Ross fleet moved south along the coastline, with a large number of infantry on foot.

The movement of the army was delayed by the shipment of trophies, and until now Rurik's northern army has also been divided into two parts.

The elite flags he brought from his hometown, as well as Yevlo's allied army of the Finnish Counties, were all fully dispatchable and powerful troops.

The Swedish army, as well as the newly conquered Gotaland army of the Gota River, moved too slowly.

There is an exception, that is, the Ankras army led by the blue fox has already been part of the Gotaland warriors.

As a person who has a deep hatred for Horrick, the blue fox is eager to eat its flesh.

At night, the camp in the wilderness.

There were a lot of Ross ships floating in the sea, and bonfires were everywhere on the shore.

Rurik could completely ignore the dawdling allies in the rear. Even if he lost a lot of elite soldiers in the landing battle, the loss was really distressing, and the weakening of the overall strength of the army was very limited. He doesn't have to worry about the stamina of the kingdom, because this year is 840, and according to Viking tradition, the first generation of the baby boomer era started by the Rus in 828 has reached the age of twelve, and a twelve-year-old man is obliged to serve as a warrior . And the number of subsequent fighters will only be more than a year.

It's just that the elites who invested in this year's battlefield lost as many as 300 people!

Being injured means losing the ability to fight. There are more than 100 wounded soldiers who can't continue to fight. A small fleet has escorted the wounded back for the first time.

However, more than 200 soldiers were lightly injured, so they simply cleaned the wounds with spirits, and then returned to the flag team to continue fighting.

The soldiers all believed that the entire army had paid a lot of casualties to defeat the strongest enemy in Jutland, and the road to the south was destined to be very smooth.

Ironically, they think that the casualties are huge, but compared to the total collapse of the Robards, tens of thousands of people were either killed or turned into slaves. This loss is really too little.

In fact, if you count the sudden battle of allied forces and the decisive battle on the seashore, the casualties of the entire Rus army also exceeded 1,000. The so-called septicemia caused by wound infection was raging among the wounded of the Allied troops. Rurik's reserves of medicine could not clean the wounds for those people, and the degree of septicemia developed into Rurik was completely powerless.

At least the elites of Rurik did not have this kind of "fever". The wounded were debridement as soon as possible. Those lightly wounded were still too nervous to find that their wounds were recovering, so the soldiers believed that their king was attacked by Odin. He also received the grace of God himself.

The morale of the main force of the Ross army was high, because they miraculously encountered the cavalry during the day and miraculously got the captured culprit Horrick. Everyone was so excited that it was hard to sleep.

Around the bonfire, Rurik and the generals ate a delightful meal.

Everyone was drinking hard liquor, and Rurik especially wanted to have a good glass of burning vodka with Fisk.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, everyone listened to Fisk's report on the war in the south, and were surprised that Ragnar and the Ross Army's partial divisions had assembled an army of tens of thousands of people.

Arik's attitude was cheerful: "I didn't expect that Ragnar guy was still a character, and he was actually very appealing."

But Rurik was not happy, a king who could summon 10,000 Danish warriors, Ragnar, like Horrick, was a threat. It makes sense when you think about it, after all Ragnar is a character.

As Fisk pointed out that Ragnar could not restrain the army, it was the Rus army who succeeded in destroying the fortress, which made Rurik very gratified.

The war in the south is not as simple and violent as in the north. After a tough battle on Rurik’s side, the rest is to clean up the remaining forces of Horrick.

The battles in the south consisted of cavalry battles and siege battles. When everyone heard Fisk's rhetoric, they were all surprised and their feet were sweating.

"Why don't I believe it? Ragnar's Danish army, the corpses filled the ditch? Our pirate chief Trarang just knocked down the enemy's gate. Also, you annihilated the Frankish cavalry." Arik With that being said, he didn't think that little brother Fisk would lie, and said, "You! You are fiercer than when I was young, and you are indeed our old Ross people."

Fisk smiled honestly.

Rurik did not blame Fisk for causing the cavalry to suffer losses, and the losses had become insignificant compared to the cavalry's gains. He basically learned about the battle in the south. It had been two full days since Fisk set off. Presumably the fort built by the Franks in the Isthmus of Lindholm, which the prisoners called "Fort Aleb", had already been taken over by the South. Army captured.

Then the top priority now is to speed up the south!

The smooth development of the war situation far exceeded Rurik's imagination!

So, what to do with Horrick?

With a sword, he was cheap on the contrary.

Even the corporal punishment of corruption is simply the perverted vent of the victor's anger.

Horrick was like a wild boar waiting to be slaughtered. He was placed by the bonfire with a circle of people standing beside him.

"It's time to skin him," Arik said.

"Be a blood eagle." Fisk said casually.

The blue fox also said: "I have seen this guy look arrogant~www.novelhall.com~ He has also humiliated me. It is better to cut off his hands and feet, stab his eyes, and put him in a pen. as animal husbandry."

Be a man? forget it. I have no bad taste in this regard.

Rurik thought for a while, and of course Horrick had to be executed. This person must die for a meaningful purpose, such as as a sacrifice for a major ceremony. At least one thing is certain, this man cannot be executed hastily, and it may be useful to keep him later.

So Rurik for the first time declared himself to the prey-like former king of Denmark.

He put one foot directly on Horrick's face, stomping it **** the mud, and said calmly rather than coercively: "I am Rurik the King of Ross. Our names are somewhat similar, but I am the Baltic Sea. The only king. The last time I let you run away, this time you fell into my hands. Don't worry, you won't die today. Just today..."
