A man fleeing desperately in the dark, he rushed under the wooden wall and shouted.

The guards on the wall noticed the existence of this person. They were quite surprised that Rasmussen, who was going to negotiate, came back so soon?

The rope was put down, Rasmussen made a noose to keep one foot on, and then grabbed the rope with both hands, with the folded paper letter in his mouth, and was dragged up by the defender.

As soon as he returned, he was hurriedly questioned by nervous soldiers: "What's the situation? What do the Ross people really want?"

What else can Rasmussen say? Can't you tell my brothers that Rose is confident about the plan of siege? Besides, the average soldier still shouldn't know a lot of inside information.

He encouraged in every possible way: "You insist on standing guard to observe the situation and open a way for me. I want to tell the king the request of Chief Ross!"

Although the brave messenger didn't explain the situation, looking at the attitude of his speech, it is more difficult to negotiate. Because the two entourages did not return, Rasmussen's breathless appearance was obviously fleeing.

The inner city is full of people sitting on the ground and sleeping. Thanks to the warmest season in the Nordic region, they are curled up like an armadillo in leather armor, so you don't have to worry about catching cold when sleeping with a sword or axe. They didn't dare to remove the leather armor or hard skin, for fear that the Rus suddenly launched a surprise attack and they could not immediately launch a counterattack.

Danish King Horlick was in his palace, sitting in a huge long house with a spire, he had no intention of lingering with any of his wives and concubines. He has trouble sleeping and sleeping at night, and being surrounded by an unknown number of Ross troops is unique. Instinctively, he feels that this battle is even more dangerous than before against the Franks.

Horrick's worries are not unreasonable. The single-round "siege" is not unusual in the East, and even often becomes a norm, but it is extremely rare in the current European world.

The traditional army in Europe prefers that each lord leads his own followers and peasant soldiers to the battlefield, and leads the army under the banner of the lords. Multiple lords lead their respective armies into an array that is not subordinate to each other.

The two sides of the battle mostly followed this array pattern, followed by the sound of drums and horns, the two armies impacted and collided with swords and axes.

They don't even use bows and arrows very much, and the victor always favors the side with more infantry and more cavalry.

A battle in the wilderness often resolves most of the grudges and grievances of the nobles. Siege and siege are difficult to factually, and it often means that their efforts are not thankful.

But the Russian army is clearly a cross-age army under Rurik! Any exaggerated words are superfluous, and whether the army is prestigious or not must be proved by actual combat.

Just when the fugitive Rasmussen was about to deliver the letter to Horrick, Rurik wasn't the whole army asleep.

In the middle of the night, there were only the snoring of soldiers, the crackling of firewood, the sound of the warm south wind, and some low rumblings.

All parts from the cabin of the flagship ship have arrived at the beach, and a siege weapon is being assembled!

The Danish wall is made of wood. How strong can it be?

The engineering scooters are being assembled, and two two-wheeled vehicles are pieced together to form a base. A pine tree that has long been felled is unloaded from the ship and floated in the sea and pulled ashore. Now the tree trunk is connected with a cone-shaped bronze horn. This tree trunk is the core unit of the rush cart. A large number of straight wooden beams from the demolished houses are thrown directly on the rush cart to increase the weight and obtain greater potential energy during impact.

The prefabricated parts are further assembled into an arrow-proof and stone-proof frame on the top of the cart. The prefabricated wooden boards are placed directly on the top, and the soldiers smash the nails down with a small hammer to create a hard top cover.

Heavy siege weapons must be manufactured on the battlefield. In order to assemble them efficiently, the Russian Army brought all the parts. The many tricks made with weapons are definitely not made deliberately by Rurik, everything is a lesson from blood!

Is this Godfreyhagen more disgusting than the Borgholm fortress of Saxon immigrants on the island of Öland?

As long as there is such a siege rush vehicle, Rurik doesn't have to worry about whether the defender is pouring hot water or smashing stones. Smashing the wall with the double-edged axe, the enemy could only watch his wooden wall being broken a little bit.

However, such a siege vehicle is not completely unfamiliar to the Danish army. According to the Franks, this weapon is called a "battle pig". It directly smashed the gate of the fortress by brute force. I was able to learn the appearance of the Franks and make a crash into the wall of the Ross shop.

There is only another weapon of the Ross army-powerful arrows. The current Danish king Horlick is no stranger to it. Last year's intelligence was indeed completely true, because he saw the true power of the Russ' hateful arrows this year.

The soldiers of the Russ Army can endure falling asleep in the ups and downs of the ocean, and can ignore the sound of ding ding dong dong in their ears.

The soldiers on guard at night were rotated as usual. As time passed, the short night seemed to pass, and the sky turned dark blue. Obviously, the Danish army would not launch a dawn raid.

On the other hand, in the middle of the night, Rasmussen sent Rurik's autograph letter to the king of Denmark.

A strange thing has become a vehicle for writing? It feels like a kind of silk, just torn to pieces.

King Horlick was upset as if a stone pressed his heart, and then the oil lamp saw the content of the letter, and he was even more anxious!

He tore the paper clean three or two times, and said furiously: "Mr. Ross himself is here to beat me?! That villain wants to use my skull as a wine bowl! Fool! It should be your skull as my bowl! "

King Horrick was so angry that his face flushed, and the matter was already very clear. Not only did the Ross people not accept any negotiations, they were afraid they also saw their plan to delay time. Horrick gave up the illusion. Since Prince Rose is provocatively going to attack after dawn, let's fight!

Horrick did not forget to stomped a few more feet against the confetti on the ground, waiting for Rasmussen's face: "The Ross people are going to kill me! And I want to kill them too. Tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle. We have to prepare some rocks and clay pots, and use these to smash the Rus to death."

It sounds like this is asking himself, but Rasmussen, who is still in shock, hurriedly echoed: "Great king, see you."

"The Ross people are really deceiving! Now that you have entered their camp, let me know what you saw. How many troops the Ross people have, and their military equipment."

But has Rasmussen traveled through all of Rose's camps in the dark? How much can he see clearly?

"There are about 3,000 Ross people, and many of them are equipped with bows and arrows. They have a flat bow. I'm afraid this is the key to their shooting accuracy..." he muttered.

"What else?" Horrick urged.

"Prince Ross is very young, I'm afraid he is not even twenty years old. Such men are often brave, and they are usually the least measured."

"I can understand this, so he wants to kill me. I'm surprised, I don't want to provoke any monarchs now, how can I be madly attacked by this guy in the East?"

Rasmussen's mouth trembled, which Horrick noticed.

"You? What did you see again? Say quickly, I forgive you."

Rasmussen took the courage and said bluntly: "I think I already know the truth. This is the revenge of the Roths! It is because our Stad killed many Roths in Hezeby, which attracted Prince Rose. Angry. Moreover, there are traitors in those teams who have turned away from us."

Horrick immediately became alert: "Destroying the shops of the Roths is a failure. I admit that if only a few people are killed, the Roths will have to fully attack this? No, no, it is the power that the Roths covet. As for those. Traitors? Could there be those exiles who attacked us?"

"It's Ragnar."

"Huh? Ragner in wool pants? Is the escaped coward not dead?"

"Not only did he not die, I noticed that the Russ had swarmed a lot of exiles. The Ragnar said that this battle was his revenge."

Upon hearing the news, Horrick's legs could not help but tremble. At this moment he had to think about some very in-depth questions-how many Danish lords really admitted to me?

In a trance, he felt that the messengers sent out would not bring in many King Qin's troops, and the exiles from all over the country were swept over by the Ross people who also spoke the Norse, forming a coalition army to kill themselves.

Horrick had thought of this, but he never dreamed that this decisive battle would come on the first anniversary after he became king, as if the entire Danish and external Viking forces deliberately rushed to start the war on this day.

Three thousand people is not a small number. The Ross people have very large ships, so it is naturally impossible to estimate the enemy's strength based on the number of long oars. He believed Rasmussen's description of the strength of the Ross army for the first time, and then looked at his own military strength. On the contrary, it was a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

It was precisely because of the "three thousand people" that Rasmussen opened his mouth and the resolute attitude of Prince Rose, Horrick did not dare to act rashly. Because the core camp of the Rus people has been fortified, they guarded themselves from launching night attacks, and they have a huge force. The night attacks are harmful to Denmark, and the army needs to be trained tonight to maintain a vigorous salute.

The Danish warriors were asleep, bearing tremendous pressure on their shoulders, and Horrick could only fall asleep until dawn.

When the sky was blue and the sun in the east was about to break through the sea level, the inner city of Godfreyhagen was full of horns.

The Danes were blowing their trumpets, and it felt like they were about to open the door and launch a full counterattack.

This is very possible!

Rurik had awakened a long time ago, and the Ross army had also awakened. The army was busy cooking breakfast, thinking that it would add a lot of energy for today's siege battle. As everyone was busy grilling fish and cooking oatmeal, the dense trumpets of the Danes made Ross's army nervous.

"Damn king, they may counterattack our army. You take the army to keep on guard, all torsion slingshots are charged..." Rurik issued the order, and the generals immediately followed suit.

Suddenly, the Russ army maintained a high-strength alert. The shielded infantry had formed a shield wall, and behind the sword and shield hand was a group of spears formed by the Slavs.

A group of extremely burly warriors put on heavy iron armor, and wore bear-headed helmets with only observation windows. This is the "Iron Man" that Rurik is quite proud of. It is a real heavy armored regiment. The soldiers are also composed of his guard mercenaries, whose leader is Grund.

More than one hundred torsion slingshots, and as many as six hundred warriors with crossbows, their weapons are aligned in the direction of Godfreyhagen's inner city.

But the Danish's horn kept blowing, and gradually the vigilance of the Russian army gave way to numbness.

The alert Arik wanted a quick slash, and Grund, who was armed with an axe in both hands, hoped that he would take off the heavy armor after slashing the enemy early.

It seems that everyone is fighting wits and courage in the air?

Lurik gradually felt that this was the tactics of the Danish army. The enemy didn't look like they were going to attack from the city. He ordered the crossbowmen to stay on standby.

The Ross people have been on guard, knowing that the whole army had a full meal. The fish is mixed with boiled wheat in the stomach, and the soldier's body is full of strength.

"Your enemy is blowing the trumpet and the drum, what are we going to do? We also want to blow the trumpet!" Ragnar urged Rurik fiercely, in return for complete support.

Rurik's resolute eyes looked at all the soldiers who were ready to go. He drew his sword and pointed it in the direction of the wooden wall: "Warriors of Odin! The blessing of the **** king will shine on you, and it is time to win glory and revenge. Now follow me, attack! Trumpeter! Trumpet!"

The organized horn holders blew the horns together, and the holders beat them desperately.

The whole army yelled out the Viking roar in a rhythmic manner. This positive signal conveyed to the defending Danish army the next meaning-the Russian army began to attack.

The army marched along the winding alleys, with a group of warriors holding crossbows in front and swords and shields behind. There are more than five hundred people in the vanguard. They are the veterans of the First Banner of the Ross Army led by Arik, and the allied forces of the exiled Danes led by Ragnar.

The slave soldiers of Bornholm Island were also among them, but their clothes were too casual, not as uniform as those of Arik and Ragnar.

The laneway inevitably disperses the width of the Russian army's front. If the Danish army can launch a cavalry attack at this time, there is a chance that part of the Russian army will be destroyed.

But King Horlick chose a conservative approach. He ordered the trumpeters in the city to blow his trumpet desperately, and he also summoned the confused soldiers to wake up and actively prepare for battle.

Danish warriors holding bows stood on the city wall, and a batch of stones and crockery also arrived at the city wall.

Below the city, the bewildered fighters slapped themselves in the face. They lined up in a dense formation and stood in an empty field in the city.

The cavalry team regained their spirits, holding short spears like a wall, waiting for King Horrick's order, opening the city gate at any time and rushing out to fight with the Ross army.

Horrick rode his famous horse. He felt that this must be a fierce battle, and he must fight for his own glory. Therefore, although there is clearly a back door that can escape, even if it is necessary to withdraw in the end, it must only be withdrawn when the defense is invincible.

He even mobilized the women in the city, the Danish women put their braids on their heads or tied them together. A large number of infantrymen have no armor, and these women only have leather and common clothing. They have a buckler in one hand and a sword in the other, and their faces are painted with light blue or black lines to show their bravery.

If it is a simple fight between sword and shield~www.mtlnovel.com~ Horrick actually has a huge advantage!

But Rurik didn't want to give his enemies time to show those **** advantages.

A group of Ross soldiers escorted a "small house" in motion. It was pushed by as many as thirty people and moved quickly on the **** approaching the inner city.

The morning sun shines on the warriors who approve the armor suits. Grund and his guys constitute fifty "broken iron men". They usually carry double-edged prisoners of war. The task of fighting against flaws is the task, and they directly cut the wood under the wooden wall. Pile is also a task. They are combat engineers!

Horrick was not at all disadvantaged by the Russ army during the march. Rülik on the other side of the battlefield was also betting. He was prepared to lose some of his troops, but his only concern was that he had reached the gate of the inner city. , The enemy still didn't mean to go out of the city for a decisive battle.

"Well, the most troublesome thing is that the time has passed, and now is the time for me to perform. King Denmark, I will accept your skull." Rurik laughed out with satisfaction, because his army has succeeded in the enemy's To complete the formation under the city, it depends on your own wishes to attack the city.
