Chapter 644: Stamford Bridge
The murderous news of the Battle of Fulford spread all over England and is now beside the Huntington Forest on the Ellman Trail. King Harold, who is more "abundant" than time, marched 200 miles in four days to catch up with Krokh of the Kings. The soldiers in the village of Stirling know what they will face, and are getting closer to the invaders that ravaged the north.
Harold was also famous in the battlefield. When he was Earl three years ago, he killed those Muggles in Welsh, Hufflepuff's hometown. But now, as a king, he faced a major test for the first time, and his life and death fell on the shoulders of this southern army who was walking through the jungles of central England.
As he hurried for several days, the tall and thin Leofrick complained: "My leg is really about to break."
"You choose the same, either shut your mouth and save effort, or ... fall down and die." Oddgar, the recruiter who continued to patrol the team on the way, heard the complaint and walked to Leofrick. After glancing at his leg, he found no problem and said.
Leofrick glared at him angrily. After he finished speaking, he surpassed the recruiter who inspected the former team: "Audgar, you always love bullying.",
Ordgar, who walked in front, shouted loudly, "That's because you always love to complain! It's strange, how can we have the same ancestor ..."
"Ah ... Ah!" Tofe, who had been walking beside Leofric before, suddenly screamed, and then sat down on a root of the ground.
Odgar, who was interrupted by the call, lifted the shield behind him, then turned back and looked at Tofi: "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm so sorry ... ah!" Tofei took off his boots, and Odgar dragged his feet over to take a closer look, and found that the blisters had been completely broken, and now the flesh was blurred.
"I'm not the material of the march, take me here ..." Tofe was full of pain. Although it was actually just some skin trauma, he really couldn't keep going any longer.
"I have to bring everyone, including children who can fight." Ordega deliberately loudly made everyone around him hear it, and then approached Tofei close, "Can I stand up?"
"Reluctantly ... ah! Ah!" Tofe replied and tried to get himself up with the help of the other party.
"Don't worry, you'll be well soon." Odgar sighed, leaned over and took Tofei directly on his shoulders, and looked at his buddies' interest with anxiety. Ofric said, "Come on, you help the non-resistant weapon shield."
"Ordega, you always love to bully people ..." Although Leofrick was still complaining, he had already taken the equipment of the buddies.
September 25, 1066, on the side of Stamford Bridge.
In the Viking camp, the dead bones of various cattle and sheep were hung on the wood, scraped cleanly, the hides were put on the clothesline, and they were exposed to the sun. Pieces of salted fish were worn on the rope, waiting to be eaten.
The cage cars were pushed by the local Englishmen to the Viking camp. The black and white rabbits in the cage opened their eyes cautiously and their small noses kept twitching. The Vikings were waiting for the tribute to arrive. In order to fill the desires of the Vikings, the unfortunate people near Yorkshire brought their harvest, their livestock and even their children.
A mad warrior had just finished enjoying his loot and came out of the tent naked, and saw the leader outside. Thinking of the strange behavior of the high-level officials these days, he could n’t help but ask the boss who thought he had a good relationship. Lynch, why did Hadrada want us to separate our troops? "
Lin Qi also frowned slightly when he heard the words, but then the ruby red light flashed on his forehead, making him forget the doubts prompted by his men. He smiled at the mad soldier, "We stay here to take hostages Is n’t it better? Or do you want to be the one-third of the bad luck to guard the fleet? "
The Berserker shrugged. "I just think we should be careful. At least don't leave the armor in the fleet. If we want to get it, we have to walk fifteen miles ..."
"The Vikings have won! The North is ours!" Berserker leader Lynch did not respond, but jumped on a stone and shouted to the surroundings, "The wealth of England will make us prosperous!"
The Vikings around, including the mad warriors who just questioned, also yelled at Lynch.
But the residents of Yorkshire led a dwarf horse, followed by cattle and sheep, all lowered their heads, and brought them to the hands of the Vikings. The mothers sadly hugged their children in the cage and could not bear to send them away, let alone imagine their fate, but were pulled away by the Vikings.
At this moment, the noise from the distance across the Derwent River made the Vikings immediately realize that something was wrong.
It only took seven or eight days for Harold to reconvene soldiers from London to two hundred miles away. There is no doubt that Harold's troops are moving quickly, and attacking them is their most powerful weapon.
The ordinary Viking soldiers thought they were waiting for unarmed civilians, but they were surprised.
Unexpectedly, Harold could march northward so fast. The middle and high levels of the Viking made the army unguarded under the effect of slavery gems. Fortunately, the river blocked the way of the English. Only one can only pass two or three people at the same time. The dilapidated wooden bridge of width can be used to cross the river.
Tosti, who is familiar with English warfare, suggested using the Vikings to take the battle lightly and be good at long-distance raids. ~ Www.wuxiaspot.com ~ You should take the lead and withdraw to a ship 15 miles away, and join the remaining soldiers to use the ship The guards of the ship guards put on armor and then fight decisively.
Although Haral refused under the influence of magic power, the ruthless person who is good at fighting is obviously not a fool as long as he is not controlled. He sent the strongest mad soldier guards to guard the bridge and fight for the assembly of other troops. The time it takes for the formation, these big men dressed in bearskin do not need to wear armor, they can all be guarded.
Although Lynch, the leader of the Berserker, did not realize that his good state was because of the wizard, he also felt that he should be held responsible for this behavior. He stopped the men who wanted to get on the bridge and shook his head, "I don't need you on a day like this, I have Odin's refuge!" He pointed to the red gem on his forehead, and then suddenly put the bear on his body. The leather and coat were ripped off and thrown to the ground, revealing the muscles of the python ribs naked on the upper body. Only wearing a Viking-style butterfly helmet, he held a hand in each hand. Normal Viking warriors need two The giant axe, which can be controlled by hand, walked to the middle of the bridge.
Lynch, whose first half of his face was blocked by the helmet, watched coldly as the English encouraged morale. He sticks his tongue out and licks his lips, just like a beast is waiting for the prey to come to the door. At this time, he can't see the cunning and gentleness before him. Now he just stands as a Viking warrior. On this small wooden bridge, tens of thousands of troops facing the Anglo-Saxons alone.
