Rise of Rurik Chapter 530

, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!

The cavalry warriors in Northumbria didn't think this was very honorable, and they were only carrying out the king's orders.

They can see that the kingdom's army has encountered a major crisis, and the fighting has continued for a while. It should have been an army that has the advantage of its strength. It seems to be on the verge of collapse at the moment?

The cavalry was regrouped, and they gathered around the king.

Ainred drew out the iron sword swiftly, and his sharp eyes scanned the bravery of his subordinates.

"Knights of the kingdom! When you were young, even your father used to fight with me. We defeated many powerful enemies and many rebels! Now the barbarians have destroyed our holy monastery and attacked our city. Now, I Will take the lead in the charge! No casualties! We rushed over and overwhelmed the enemy from the flank. Draw the sword!"

Every cavalry wants to take measures to change the anxious battle situation, and now the king decides to take the risk?

No, in their eyes, Lord King has become a warrior once again.

They drew their swords one after another, and many people held up their spears.

They shouted spontaneously, and their shouts were drowned in the sound of infantry fighting.

"The bishop!" The king rode his horse, facing the bishop Edmund who was trembling after witnessing the **** battle: "Pray for us, pour holy water for us."

"Yes!"

The bishop of Bamburgh and the priests who followed them hurriedly carried the gold and silver instruments and carried the cross to pray and pray.

Even if the battle is anxious, there are casualties of kingdom soldiers every minute.

Prayer before the war is indispensable. This is not the king's superstition. This is his belief. If you do not get the blessing of the priest, then your attack will not be blessed by God.

After a brief celebration, every cavalry was sprinkled with holy water mixed with rose essential oil. The floral holy water means a certain kind of sacredness, and the cavalry are all implying that they have been pardoned of their original sins.

The king crossed the sword for the last time and flew: "Clash with me now! Walk around in the forest."

The army of the Kingdom of Northumbria finally ended its purely barbaric style of play. Obviously, the number of infantry is dominant, which is the so-called tactics can be called a stray dog ​​style. There is almost no coordination between infantry, and the battle is basically a single fight of the soldiers, a large-scale group fight.

Only the cavalry, the king finally got the hang of it at the time of crisis.

More than one hundred and thirty riding through the seaside woodland, silently detouring the right flank of the Viking army front.

As soon as the battle began, Aston, the captain of the cavalry, decided that this was a flaw in the barbarian. The king regretted it but would not show it, and now he himself implemented this crazy tactic. As for the consequences of the serious loss of the cavalry, he can think of the heavy damage to the kingdom's military strategy, and now he can only put it on Aside.

The huge Kingdom of Northumbria just looks very big, and Ernred's capital is extremely limited. All his strength is just to recruit 10,000 fighters and 20,000 farmers. The army will be dispersed and stationed in the various strongholds of the kingdom, and the entire Bamburgh area, he can recruit only two thousand people in this area.

If the battle itself is defeated, it is tantamount to saying that the Bamburgh area and the entire northeast of the kingdom have essentially entered a military vacuum. Then the Picts will surely take advantage of the vacancy to come in, and things will be troublesome in the future.

A man wearing a gilded iron helmet rode his horse out of the woods, followed by a famous cavalry with a lance. An orange streamer was tied under the spearhead, and the cavalry helmets were all covered with beautiful feathers.

The well-dressed King Ernred appeared.

The cavalry team suddenly realized that they had begun to jog forward on the right wing front of the Vikings.

Did the enemy keep a surprise soldier? !

Some Vikings in the fierce battle noticed this with out-of-sight, and inexplicable fear arose in their hearts.

Yevlo, Bijuni, and even Froki and Esbjörn, the two teenagers, stood on the one-meter-high "tactical soil plateau" and used a winch to wind the steel-armed crossbow. The mercenaries who were violently handed the strings, their arms were quite exhausted, they were wound with a winch, the crossbow's rate of fire was reduced to the lowest, and the number of arrows, which was worse, was not many.

At that time, Jeflo rushed to Rurik fiercely.

Rurik was still commanding the torsion slingshot beside him to shoot the infantry in the fierce fighting, and he was hugged directly by Jeflo.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

"My lord, look at the West (right wing of the front)."

"Ah! Cavalry?! You put me down quickly."

Rurik was taken aback. Although he was prepared for cavalry attacks on the flanks, the fighting continued until now he felt more and more that the enemy did not intend to engage in cavalry assaults. Obviously he was wrong.

Is the finale at the end?

"Damn! Bijuni, you go tell Brother Geiger and let his spearman block the cavalry!" Rürik screamed and ordered in a hurry.

At this time, Esbjörn threw down the half-winding crossbow and rushed to Rurik: "Brother, I will tell my elder brother."

"You? Go! The enemy's cavalry rushes in, and things are in trouble."

Esbjörn, the young man was ordered to be in danger, and rushed to the front of Geiger in Vathhobi like a hare.

Geiger is taking his hundred spearmen with him to help others stab the enemy infantry. Many people have noticed the emergence of cavalry. When Esbjörn arrived, Geiger had already taken some anti-cavalry measures.

Esbjörn delivered the order, and Geiger's group also began to execute it.

At the same time, Rurik immediately made tactical adjustments. For example, the Shetland fishermen who were about to finish shooting their arrows ordered them to draw their swords and shields immediately, all shields facing west.

All the torsion slingshots suspend the attack on the frontal fighting enemy, and adjust the firing angle to target the Western cavalry. The bull trebuchet is also changing its shooting direction.

It's just that these moves by the Vikings are too late for the final charge cavalry.

King Ernred of Northumbria, kissing his hilt, raised the iron sword and roared, "Cavalry! Shock!"

The horses of the entire team began to rush and immediately reached their maximum speed.

The cavalry smashed the Viking's flank like a chisel.

The behemoth rushed towards him. Although Geiger had ordered the spears to move forward, when the collision came, many people simply threw the spears out of fear and retreated instinctively.

Even Geiger himself, who consciously couldn't resist the torrent, simply took his brother Esbjörn and hurriedly found a place to avoid it.

Only less than half of the spearmen are still holding on. When the collision occurs, some horses are pricked by the spearhead, but how can the powerful impact energy disappear?

With a spear stuck in his body, the horse and the cavalry slammed their heads up, knocking over several Vikings before falling heavily to the ground.

More cavalry directly overwhelmed Geiger's virtual spear array, and the sudden change shocked Rurik without time to complain.

With a swift impact, the line of the Viking Spearmen who had not received the training of anti-cavalry was rushed away.

King Ainred was overjoyed. He saw the blue-patterned flag with a white background flying on the soil platform, and subconsciously believed that it was the barbarian command center.

"Warriors, follow my sword! Attack that banner."

The iron hooves of the kingdom's cavalry killed many enemies, and many of them were knocked aside by the horse's strong chest. The cavalry's offensive momentum has weakened a lot because of the collision, but they are still pushing forward.

Geiger straightened his leather helmet and pushed his younger brother to one side. He obeyed his instinct, and carried his axe to attack the cavalry.

Those who were slammed into Venus, or even fractured, all forgot their pain for a while, and tried to get up and fight with the cavalry.

Rurik was seeing a man with a golden crown commanding the cavalry to charge towards him.

Could that man be the king?

The king himself rushed into the battle? Is it reckless? Still brave?

"Reckless idiot, don't think that you will win by breaking my line."

Because those horses were not excellent Turkic savages or Arabian horses, the horses stranded by the Romans were not suitable for the battle. It is also for this reason that the Frankish cavalrymen were unwilling to form a cavalry formation in the current period before acquiring the best horse breeds in the East. It's not impossible, it's a bad price/performance ratio.

The crisis situation forced the king to take risks. Ainred's cavalry won a phased victory, but the battle turned sharply.

With the adjustment of the torsion slingshot completed, the torsion bowstring has the largest storage capacity. The cone-shaped cast iron projectiles fired at close range have strong power and potential energy to give the cavalry a major blow to such large targets!

Some horses' heads were directly smashed to pieces, and some knights were pierced through their chests. There was even a projectile that pierced the horse's neck, forming a ricochet that broke the neck of another knight.

A round of torsion slingshot volley is accompanied by the precise shooting of the crossbow.

Jeflo controlled the crossbow, but for the first time in his life he saw the cavalry attack on the wall. His hands trembled unnaturally due to the horror. As a result, the deadly arrow flew by the side of Ainred.

As the twenty horses in front of the charge fell to the ground for various reasons, they became the most serious obstacles on the charge, and the cavalry force quickly disappeared.

Even though the Vikings paid a considerable price for this purpose, the only possible attempt by the opponent to defeat the front has been suppressed by the brothers.

Shetland's swords and shields rushed forward, and the stagnant cavalry was an excellent target. They raised their shields above their heads, and their swords and axes slashed the horse's legs indiscriminately. Even the cavalry was pulled down and assassinated with swords.

More cavalry fell from horses, and bloodthirsty Vikings swarmed up with axes, like a group of jackals attacking injured bison. The axe and sword slashed wantonly, and the golden retriever of the Viking was dyed a stench red by the blood of the enemy, just like the devil from hell.

Cavalry captain Aston knew that the assault was hopeless, and the facts proved that the overall assault of the cavalry that he had envisioned could not achieve good results.

Now the brothers are dying hopelessly here, and the tactical advantages of the cavalry are gone. The result of staying here is that the king is buried for the kingdom. This is absolutely impossible!

Aston drove close to the king in the rebellion, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, we must retreat! We have already lost this battle."

"Failed! Bah! We can continue to fight."

Ernred's sword touched Aston's neck, shocked him with a dazed look: "Your Majesty, please leave quickly, if necessary, I will fight to the last minute. Please take a look at the current situation, Those farmers are already running away."

Einred stared openly, because they had lost the pressure of the cavalry, the plain-clothed farmers who had been forcibly called up to fight, they carried the guy in their hands and returned along the road on a large scale.

"Damn! I also hope they can make some contributions, all cowards!"

"Your Majesty, we can't expect farmers who can only farm the land. We can't win. If you stay here, the whole army will be wiped out, and then Bamburgh will have no defense. If the enemy continues to attack Bamburgh, the prince and beyond... "

This word awakened Erinred, and he was completely awake when he was in love for a while.

"These barbarians are even more difficult to deal with by Mercia's warriors! Let's retreat... quickly retreat!"

Ernred did not issue an order for a full retreat. He wanted himself and the remaining forces of the cavalry to evacuate first.

As everyone knows, such a brightly-dressed key target has been locked on by Rurik, only because of the reload time of the torsion slingshot, the attack has been delayed.

"Hurry up! Hurry up. Haven't you?"

One person suddenly shouted: "My lord, we are ready."

"Shoot the one wearing the gold crown, that is the king of the enemy! Shoot him a pound of silver!" Rurik ordered with a torn voice.

Under the most monetary stimulus, the operators of the torsion slingshots in all positions were full of energy.

An iron bullet smashed in the past, it did not cut off Ernred's head, but hit his left arm holding the rein.

The projectile directly touched his left elbow. Although his forearm was not torn, his entire left arm was broken and wasted.

He fell off his horse in extreme pain, and it was precisely his fall, because the subsequent two iron bullets directly killed his horse.

Ernred's feet were pressed by the horses, and he held his bleeding left arm to make it hard, but it was extremely difficult to get out of the body when his feet were pressed.

He was pulled out by the dismounted cavalry captain Aston, and took the opportunity to take the opportunity to send the king to the horse, and he lay on the soft saddle.

"Your Majesty, without further ado, we will withdraw quickly. The enemy has terrifying weapons, and you will be killed by them."

Just a glimpse of Erinred was shocked, looking at his shocking left arm, his right hand could only temporarily hold the wound tightly, so that the blood would not run out.

He muttered in great pain: "We are defeated, I want to withdraw. Aston, you saved me, I return to York and I will make you an earl. No! I have to lead the magistrate."

Aston was overjoyed, and quickly took off because of his feat.

"Thank your Majesty, I will take you to evacuate if I have anything to say."

"Withdrawal to Bamburgh, we must defend."

Suddenly Aston sprayed the king with a mouthful of blood, and then he fell down, his feet hung on the leather saddle, and the terrible corpse was dragged by the horse. Ernred saw the extremely miserable face of death clearly.

Aston's cervical spine was smashed by iron bullets fired by a torsion slingshot, and his person died on the spot.

Fortunately, there were still more than 30 horse guards around. A cavalry warrior found that the situation was not good. He cut off the leather saddle with a sword. The dead Aston was no longer a burden to the escaped horse.

The cavalry warrior took the reins, lowered and led the king to escape. "Your Majesty, the captain is dead, I will take you to evacuate."

At this moment, Ernred has completely lost his bravery, and he has nothing to say in panic.

The evacuation of the king is causing the total collapse of the Northumbrian Front, but hundreds of exhausted kingdom fighters are still instinctively fighting. The same melee Vikings have also entered a state of exhaustion. The exhausted divisions of both sides are still fighting with swords and soldiers. The scale of victory has been tilted to the Vikings, and they still maintain their morale when they are exhausted.

A move is needed to bring about the total collapse of the enemy!

Now the Shetlanders and the remaining brothers of Geiger are already attacking the cavalry with a pair of legs.

Rurik personally manipulated a torsion slingshot, and he personally aimed at the man lying on the horse.

That man is the king of Northumbria, it must be so!

The iron bullet has been installed, and since the enemy is running a little far away, Liu Rick adjusts the elevation angle, estimates an advance, and then pulls off the dowel pin.

The projectile flew in the vibration, and the cone-shaped cast iron projectile in the air spontaneously rotated due to the special pattern~www.mtlnovel.com~ It hit the horse's neck with a flat parabola and impartially killed it on the spot.

The horse directly made a forward somersault, and then pressed Erinred under the horse's carcass and couldn't move.

At this moment, Geiger and other hundreds of Vikings who were soaked with blood and reddened their faces were killed aggressively in this direction.

It was seen that the king disappeared, the king flag fell, the cavalry disappeared in the forest, and the living farmers had run clean. The Kingdom of Northumbria has collapsed! The infantry began to flee. They threw their helmets and armors, leaving their backs to the Vikings, and ushered in the tragic fate of the so-called "being hacked and killed by the pursuers in the rout."

In contrast to the Vikings, the Balmerk tribe ushered in their first big victory since they knew it. This was when the wolves faced the sheep, and the tired people were suddenly killed and looted. They were crazy overstretching their physical strength. Pursue all kinds of weapons frantically in order to kill the enemy, **** its weapons and key leather boots, and then chase to the forest to steal the wealth that the enemy has left there.

Those who are alive will make a fortune in this battle!

Also, this victory is a glorious feat that can last a lifetime to the people of my hometown.
