Rise of Rurik Chapter 924

A huge fleet rushed forward in the vast ocean facing the south wind.

The time is already midsummer, and the Slavic army who has been stationed on Tombstone Island for a long time has become a fisherman.

Because of the delay in getting the king's order, Medved can only live on Tombstone Island and the surrounding islands with his thousand troops. They are self-sufficient by fishing. It is this behavior that allows a large number of men who are not good at boating to adapt quickly. Seasickness is no longer a disaster.

They were even forced to learn to swim.

The summer solstice is approaching, and ordinary warriors are worried that once they set off, they will miss agricultural work due to the war. Many people even hope that the time can be delayed as long as possible.

After all, the king brought a strong army, even if the Slav army did not participate, the king could still win.

As long as the time is delayed until the end of July, the brothers can probably go home.

Without him, because around the end of August is the wheat harvest season in the Novgorod region, it is a bit far-fetched to expect the women and children of the hometown to complete the wheat harvest work. Of course, people who stay behind can also do it. Without the participation of middle-aged men, the efficiency will naturally be greatly reduced.

Finally, Arik's fleet arrived suddenly.

Some prisoners of war and some seized materials were thrown directly to Tombstone Island.

A large number of leather goods and iron weapons were unloaded, and the accumulation of these objects was another eye-opener.

Because a fleet returned from the direction of Lake Mälaren not long ago, they were the first fleet to withdraw from the battle, and you can return by taking the inland waterway. The news they brought excited the spirits of the Slav army stationed on the island.

Medved got the news of the king, in fact, let him prepare the personnel ship to sail south. This is a challenge for the Slavic army, and for ordinary soldiers, the previous idea of ​​delaying time and having to go home has come to nothing.

The company's main chain is the largest and the most powerful chain in the world.

Just as they were scrambling to load weapons and supplies, Arik's fleet arrived.

Arik brought unprecedented and exciting good news. It was originally for people who sailed on a large scale, but the team was led by the battle-hardened "Double Swords" Arik, who suddenly had the backbone.

There are six standard armed cargo ships newly launched, and they went into war as soon as they were launched.

Brand new ships were moored at Tombstone Island and stood by, and so, along with other large ships, a large fleet of up to twenty armed freighters, two sail destroyers, and one sail cruiser, carrying a total of one thousand two hundred warriors and Auxiliary personnel, carrying large quantities of provisions and reserve weapons, sailed towards the South Baltic Sea.

As for Arik, he knew very well that the king's brother was very interested in time. Even if the reinforcements he brought did not join the war, the main force of the Rus army would cross the Kattegat Strait and land strongly on Jutland.

This is the first time to land on the mainland of Denmark, not to be missed!

Not wanting to miss the glory, Arik, who arrived at Tombstone Island, urged people to board the ship quickly, and also encouraged the Slavs to fight.

"We will attack the Danish mainland! That is another powerful Varyag force. We will win and you will all be rich. Don't worry that you will miss the farm time, you will rob the enemy's wheat after the war, and when you return , everyone gets new wheat, iron tools and leather."

Originally, it was a far-fetched reason for the Slav army in the far-flung Eastern European hinterland to go to Denmark to fight. These farmers did not have the characteristic warrior glory of the Vikings. If they wanted them to go to war, they could only promise a lot of spoils.

A new force is rushing across the seas, and unbeknownst to Arik, a whole new kingdom of Denmark has been established.

The fleet arrived at the Øresund Strait, the strategic throat, and was in full uniform with the Ross army entrenched here.

"Look! It's our people." Medved standing on the flagship stretched out his hand: "My brother-in-law (referring to Rurik) has placed the army here?"

Arik scratched his chin: "Impossible. What's going on? My brother can still do tricks?! The army's main force shouldn't be here."

Although Rurik, who was still in Gothenburg at the mouth of the Gota River, could not control the overall situation, his orders were indeed executed silently by his subordinates.

As soon as Ross and New Denmark completed an informal alliance, Ragnar hurriedly rowed back to Zeeland to prepare for his offensive mission.

The verbal alliance was accompanied by Rurik's strategy and tactics.

Listening to the Danish lords of Zealand, especially the fleeing lord Lindholm sighed with grief and indignation.

The so-called Frankish army stationed and built the fortress, but the intelligence also pointed out that the Frankish army and the Robard tribe's "overreacher" Horrick did not merge their territories.

This time, the main banner of the Russ and New Denmark coalition forces is to destroy the forces of Horrick. Of course, the Frankish forces have to fight, but the priority of attacking is still Horrick at the northernmost tip of the peninsula.

The narrow Jutland peninsula gave the opportunity to fight a war of annihilation, so Rurik decided on a strategy.

The main fleet of the so-called Rus Army and the Swedish Allied Forces landed on the beach. Ragnar's New Danish Army, the Spuyot Pirate Army, and Fisk's cavalry divisions marched by sea and landed at the Lindholm Isthmus at the narrow waist of the peninsula.

The main force will confront Horrick head-on, and the partial division will attack the waist and ribs, that is, a tactical threat to the Frankish army, and even more to seize the isthmus to block Horrick's retreat.

According to Rurik's vision, he attacked the "overreachers" from both sides, and after annihilating them, he joined forces to deal with the Franks on the peninsula.

Such tactics are simply amazing to most of the lords and nobles who only gather together to fight in groups. In an "extremely extensive" battlefield, the tactics are so refined.

Ragnar, Spuyut and others who had received the mission had to wait for the agreed July 10th day of the Julian calendar to launch their attack. Just before this date, Aric returned smoothly.

Mahaube was just a sandbar village where the New Danish Army was stationed in the open across the narrow strait. This open space is nowhere else but the location of the city of Copenhagen.

This place is suitable for troops to gather and for fleets to park. It was developed as a military camp because of the war, and its superiority immediately attracted the attention of the lords.

Arik and the army he brought here landed and rested. A large number of Slavic warriors carrying detachable and assembled spears stood in the new world. They carefully looked at the Varyag warriors who were watching.

There is a biological difference between the Danes of Zealand and those from the Eastern European hinterland - hair color.

But as the exchange deepened, these Danes suddenly realized how the new army from the far east was highly similar to the Pomeranians.

The words of these Orientals are not unfamiliar. But they were not Pomeranians, and still less Obote Lidites.

It is irrefutable that these eastern warriors all wore uniform Russ uniforms. They assembled the folded spears and formed a "hedgehog formation" after the formation. The Danes in Zealand have never seen this formation. .

Show your muscles to the locals, Medvedt's Slavic army is not to be underestimated.

Therefore, a ship hurriedly drifted to Rurik, who was in desperate need of expedition, to report the good news.

Big brother did not miss the first battle! Rurik simply issued a new order, and the battle-hardened Arik, as the supreme commander of the Eastern Rus Army, cooperated with Ragnar, the new king of Denmark, to win the Isthmus of Lindholm.

So, how many troops does the so-called Eastern Division have? !

In the past, the Danes, who were not united enough to eradicate the Frankish forces that invaded the Danish world alone, now have a leader who can unite everyone and have a powerful allied army. The cavalry they feared the most was no longer scary, because the Allied Rus army also had cavalry.

More than 50,000 Danes from Zealand, men enthusiastically joined the army. The tribes and lost land lords who fled Jutland a few years ago were unwilling to rely on others and become pirates with their clan.

Now comes the opportunity to restore the territory, and men and women fight almost as a clan.

The so-called partial division, the soldiers from all walks of life are stunned to piece together nearly 10,000 soldiers.

The lords of Zeeland have never been more united than they are today. They would not submit to Ragnar completely, but they would drive away trespassers for the benefit of their tribe.

From leading warships to large sailing warships, the partial divisions of Zealand have assembled thousands of ships.

The agreed date is July 10!

Go to war!

In Gothenburg, Rurik's main force of various fighters swelled to seven thousand men, most of them combat troops.

The Ross fishing boats cruising the strait suddenly disappeared, and these standard cargo ships were transformed into troop carriers.

In Gothenburg, all kinds of ships were full of people. Before the battle of Ross, the entire fleet rushed to the northernmost point of Jutland.

On the island of Zealand, it could no longer be called a partial division. The army was assembled, the horses were placed on a standard cargo ship, and all the soldiers boarded the ship and rushed towards the isthmus at the waist of the Jutland peninsula.

The total number of warriors of various colors reached 15,000. This was the first time in the history of the Vikings that an army of this size was assembled.

On the other side of the battlefield, the Horrick forces, the Frankish forces of Ludov, and the lords who converted to God, they were not sitting still.

Especially in the northernmost part of the peninsula, Horrick has given up his fantasy. He has lost a lot of power, and if he loses here again, he will be a complete bereavement.

He was exhausting the war potential of the Robard tribe and mobilizing the ten-year-old boys.

It stands to reason that Horrick is only the grandson of the legendary leader Godfrey in name only, and is blood relatives with the expelled Harald Clark. He moved his old tribal population to the Robard tribe, but his family tree has never been related to the Robard tribe.

Today, the outsider is embraced by the Robards. Because for the tribe, they can't tolerate their Danish hegemony falling by the side, and they can't tolerate being bullied by the Rus.

Then fight! Even until the last fighter.

For war, the Robard tribe, who had given up their illusions, organized as many as 10,000 warriors.

This 10,000 people naturally have moisture, just as the New Danish Army in Ragnar on the island of Zealand, on the other side of the ocean, has moisture.

Many men who were not suitable for combat took up arms. Horrick knew that this was exhausting the water and fishing. He had no choice, and the Robard tribe had no choice.

Nor did he expect much of the Frankish army, and the Saxon warriors.

In the end, two de facto regimes appeared in Jutland, the so-called Christian Denmark and the Christian Saxony under the banner of Frankishness.

Will Ludov's Frankish and Saxon armies fight to the death for their own Christian Denmark?

"Take up arms! Be prepared! Don't venture into the sea, once they land, we will find an opportunity to annihilate them!"

After all, this is also the first time in the history of the Christian Robard tribe that they have gathered together.

They betrayed Odin, and now the saint of the North, Eskil, with his entourage, with a gilded cross and a parchment-framed abstract icon, with fresh cypress branches dipped in holy oil, greeted the elite of Robard Soldiers shed blessings.

The entire Robard tribal army was blessed. The so-called barbaric Norman army was crushing the border. People who believed in God fought for their faith. They died in battle and immediately entered heaven to obtain a perfect and happy eternal life.

This is at best a useful spiritual bonus, supporting the Robard clan's determination to fight to the death, or they must defend their homeland and glory.

Therefore, some Christian lords of Denmark had to take their tribal warriors to the north, and they all felt a little bit in the dark. The so-called if Horrick and Ludov were defeated, could their tribe turn the evil into good if they re-believed in Odin?

These lords did not dare to fight with the Ross Navy, so they took one or two hundred infantry to the north. The clans of the alliance can take out a thousand warriors at most. It is a war of life and death, and Horrick is speechless and helpless.

He sent a letter to Ludov, who was stationed at Haleb Castle, hoping to obtain a promise of absolute military protection.

Although Liudov felt the breath of war, due to his own understanding of war, he did not think that there would be a large-scale war in the future.

So this reply is very interesting: "Can't you defeat those barbarians with your own strength? If you really lose, my invincible cavalry will help you."

Liudov's perfunctory attitude made Horrick scratch his ears and cheeks with anger. He didn't have the heart to reply again, because he had no time.

At Haleb Castle, a large number of Saxons migrated here. It doesn't matter if the fortress hangs the Frankish three-lion flag, because the man he supports is the descendant of Widukind!

With Ludoff there, the southern Jutland where the guest lived was the territory of the Saxons, and this was New Saxony. war? Their war with the Danes and the Rus has nothing to do with me, the Saxons.

Horrick and Robard tribes do not know the true strength of the Ross Army, but the strait has been firmly controlled by the other side in the past few months, and a large number of cruising fishing boats have proved its strength.

Until the people who were watching by the sea, saw the overwhelming number of ships covering the strait.

"It's the enemy! They're coming!"

"Enemy ships are everywhere! Let's fight!"

Terrible news spread in the Robard villages, which were chained together, and the villagers, standing on the roofs and overlooking, had seen terrifyingly huge sails and a large number of ships.

Horrick beat his chest and stomped his feet and learned the lesson from the last time. He made iron heavy armor for his last elite, and asked the Robards to make a large number of short wooden bows and arrows. He was reflecting on the previous defeat and trying to learn the equipment of the Ross Army.

Of course, he could not learn the fleet of the Rus army.

He was still not fully prepared, and now he can only bite the bullet and assemble the army to face it.

"Brothers, we must live!" he cheered his elite.

Then led the nervous Robard soldiers to march toward the northern beach. The soldiers organized a shield wall. Tension, fear, and joy were intertwined. They rushed to the coast and lined up like a great wall.

They saw that the Ross army was washing the beach on a large scale. The scale was completely beyond imagination. Their enthusiasm was instantly intimidated, and the impact stopped. After the shield wall was built, no one dared to attack alone.

This is how the two armies met.

Rurik had already landed, and he did not expect Horrick to react so quickly.

The current situation of the Ross army is not absolutely safe. The army is still landing one after another. If the enemy launches a decisive attack while the foothold is not stable at this moment, the Ross army can only face it hastily.

Thanks to the many tough battles fought by the Rus army, the generals and nobles took the time to line up. As long as you continue to delay time, it will be more and more beneficial to Ross.

The ships that were busy unloading supplies were suspended, and the large ships widened to face the enemy.

"Damn, don't even give me time to set up a coastal camp."

Rurik hurriedly summoned his cronies and allied nobles, and asked to line up the team according to the plan before the expedition, wave the flag vigorously, and wait for the command of the general attack.

On the other side of the battlefield, Horrick noticed that the Ross Army's foothold was not stable.

"Go ahead, rush them into the sea and I'll win. If I lose, I'm done. No way! I have to fight!"

It was a big gamble, and after hesitating for a while, Horrick convinced himself to issue the shock order.

"Rush me, brothers! Robards, drive them out of the sea!"

The battle begins.

Horrick decided to strike first. The hesitant warriors, led by the local nobles of Robard, received orders to start tentatively forward. As some people charged hard, they quickly turned into a total charge of thousands of people.

Witnessing such a wolf rush, Rurik firmly believed.

"Damn, don't play cards according to the routine. Let's play. The early decisive battle will solve the problem early."

Rurik no longer issued any orders. The people who landed first immediately set up shield walls. The soldiers with bows and crossbows fired immediately regardless of priority. The large ships took the risk of running aground and pushed to the shore. Directly fired by aiming.

The speed of the Rus' countermeasures Horrick was mentally prepared, but a large number of Robard warriors could not think of it, and neither could the Christian Danish Confederates.

They braced themselves, raised their shields above their heads, and ran at a faster pace under the blows of javelins and longbow arrows. The companions who were ignoring the arrows fell to the ground continued to charge, and shot arrows from short wooden bows to counter.

No one can stop, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com can only rush if he doesn't want to be trampled to death by his own people.

But Horrick stayed in the back, and he was very speechless to see that the army of a large number of allied tribes also deliberately stayed in the back.

Co-authored only by the warriors of the Robard clan into this mortal charge! It seems that this hasty anti-landing operation has become the battle of destiny for the Robard tribe.

Soon, hand-to-hand combat began, a battle between the Vikings, not only for the glory of warriors, but also for the defense of faith and the right to exist.

The Rus army did not want to be thrown into the sea to drown, the Robards did not want to be slaughtered, both sides knew that defeat meant mass death, and this immediate decisive battle that Rurik did not want began in an extremely **** and tragic way...
