Chapter 17 The Battle of Bergen Part 2
The cavalry on the right wing was of course dragged out of the wheel in the forest by the superior forces sent by Egil. The primary flying prop Flying Axe bought for 300 gold coins is quite effective in this complex jungle terrain - while the cavalry was a little tragic. It was obviously an extremely powerful existence in the plain terrain. However, because they wanted to sneak, they sneaked into the forest and lost the kinetic impact force, and it was very tragic.
In this way, after reorganization and reorganization, a team of Viking soldiers with a total of 300 soldiers (one battalion?) and Viking soldiers who were also a team of 300 soldiers, used new weapons, flying axes, flying axes, which were slightly smaller than hand axes, each equipped with three handles. Although the range was much worse than javelins, it was even more incomparable to crossbows. But it was very powerful and had armor-breaking attributes. Is there any?
In this way, a total of 1,200 flying axes flew out in circles with a sound that made the scalp explode.
"Huh? What is that?"
To train a knight, you need to start from the age of fourteen. As a knight attendant, you are an apprentice, and you have no salary to serve your teacher every day with three grandsons. You also have to train swordsmanship, gunsmanship, riding, etc.... It is not until you are twenty-one that you can be named a knight. If you want to make a name for yourself, you have to continue fighting. After a few years of fighting, you will survive and at least get at least one knight medal. This is what you can do.
It takes ten years to create a qualified knight. Then, killing a knight requires...
Five seconds?
A knight with a very good motor nerve and a very quick reaction heard the sound of breaking through the air. Then he turned his head suddenly and saw an axe slashing towards his head in circles. Then before the pit could be heard, the left side of the middle of his head was easily cut. At that time, the cheek bones, eyeballs and skulls all cracked, which directly exploded the brain.
There was chaos among the knights. I really didn't know how the enemy went around behind me - behind me, my own line should be my cowards, who were the cowards from Biyad?!Will Mao be attacked?
So the fool knights who couldn't figure it out, and in the end they didn't know how they died.
This round of flying axes directly killed more than 200 cavalrymen. After that, the crossbow-carrying militia also fired a volley. The crossbow arrows had a slightly worse armor-breaking ability, but they still killed nearly 100 cavalrymen. Later, when the number of enemies was greatly weakened and the combat power was reduced, thousands of Viking warriors rushed out and fought bravely.
In the woods, the advantages of the cavalry are completely unable to be exerted - they are often hung by branches and other things because of their height. The combat effectiveness is greatly limited. Coupled with the previous two rounds of flying props, the enemy has become frightened birds. After a while, the Viking warriors cut down this large group of cavalry one by one without much effort. Only a small number of cavalry saw that the situation was wrong in front of them, decisively abandoned the war horses, rolled and crawled, and ran towards the depths of the woods in panic.
Time went back three days ago, Bergen, where Olaf III was located. After learning that Lord Biard was finally forced to surrender by Earl Felix, Olaf III cursed and felt extremely bad. However, after seeing the secret letter Egil wrote to him, his mood suddenly became very confused again.
The letter is as follows: The minister Egil Skadragrimson worships the Lord Olaf III from afar. The ministers adhere to the teachings of Catholicity and also know the way of loyalty and righteousness. As the eldest son of the ancestor of the Grand Duke, the Lord should inherit the position of Grand Duke. This is the right principle of heaven and earth and cannot be questioned.
The ministers wanted to surrender to the king's heart, like the clouds and rainbows of drought, and like the child's admiration. However, the slutty Earl Felix suppressed the ministers with force. The army of 30,000 soldiers were at the city, and the ministers had no choice but to give him a false promise.
However, fighting with the Lord is a traitor. The ministers have decided to turn against each other at the time of the decisive battle. They agreed with the Lords to wave the gray flag three times as a signal. At that time, the ministers will inevitably turn against each other and will never stop with Felix...
"...Is it true or false?" Olaf III half-believed and half-doubted. He naturally knew that if this force turned against him at a critical moment in the battle, his chances of winning would greatly increase. Anyway, there was no harm...
Therefore, during the war, Egil's attack on his side was pitiful. Olaf III still had a thought in his mind, thinking that he was the true emperor and that all the people would return to his heart.
Virtue.
Egil shook his neck and then asked the guard knight beside him: "How many times have the gray flag on the opposite side been shaken?"
The guard knights who had been cared for before the war replied: "Four times. The first time the war started, the cavalry charged once, and the flanks were attacked once. In addition, the time that is now shaking, a total of four times."
"Oh... Felix's cavalry on the flank, did it?"
"Well, the news just came out was almost done. In the end, a few escaped, but it seemed that they were running towards the forest, so there should be no problem."
"That's fine."
After a while, the situation of the battle changed again. After Olaf III charged on the wing of Earl Felix, the left wing instantly showed a tendency to flee. However, this guy was really a naughty boy. Without saying a word, he directly took more than thirty Viking Bellies to push up - this is a real Viking Bellies. Although it is not as strong as the red-haired belliger whom Egil planned to die before, even if it is worse, it will not be much worse. This is also another ace in Olaf III's hand. His deceased father left him.
Under the leadership of Olaf III, more than thirty berserkers rushed directly into the left wing army. At this moment, the knights had lost their impact and their cavalry were broken into two pieces. Even if they were not broken, they had a role in such a chaos. The knights all threw away their broken guns and drew out their long swords from their waists and slashed them down. The peasant soldiers were recruited to have a short gun and a skinned shield. The guns were broken and the shields were broken. There were no props on their bodies to defend themselves. One was cut accurately. Therefore, although the knights (and their entourages + light cavalrymen were not pulled) had lost their speed advantage, they could still crush tens of thousands of people in a crushing posture...
However, after the arrival of the Viking Bereaves, this situation was completely different.
First, the berserkers must have enough attack power, and they will cut it down with an axe. If you don’t die, I will take your surname. Secondly, although the berserkers seem to be thick and barbaric, their speed and agility are much better than those of the knights who ride on horseback without feet. In addition, there are a group of peasant soldiers around them, so the berserkers quickly cut down dozens of cavalry, and then summoned the peasant soldiers to rush forward and pulled off the horse who was originally high (in various senses). Several people pressed their arms and legs, stripped off the knight's helmet and chain shirts, and then they kept greeting him...
A little bit cunning about this.
In this way, the front line was temporarily stabilized. However, Olaf III's side faced another problem again. They had no commander-in-chief.
...Okay, such a commander-in-chief basically looks like nothing like that.
The main infantry fronts of both sides have begun to fight. Viking warriors equipped with chain armor, holding axe shields and long-handled battle axes, whistling and chopping them down on their necks. At this moment, nearly half of the Viking warriors in the entire Scandinavia gathered here. They may have gathered under a banner, plundered everywhere as Vikings, and fought side by side - but now, they are enemies, enemies, and enemies.
In addition, wearing leather armor and holding short spear cards - but they have been in the army for a longer time and have more shield spearmen than Viking warriors. They form the backbone of professional military branches. The spears in their hands are not as shocking as the axe of Viking warriors, but stabbing the heart will die, stabbing the lungs will die, and stabbing the stomach will die (starved to death, thin skin and bones when they die, which is terrible). The spleen will die, the kidneys will die, and the neck will die...
Well, if you stab the intestines, you will definitely not die. As expected, it occupies the entire stomach, and the organs that specialize in the discharge are very powerful, and they have a strong survivability.
But this is enough. With so many vital parts on humans, a short gun can cause so much damage!
Of course, this is also the reason why the soldiers were sent out to cover up more than 70% of their bodies.
The battle was very fierce. After the collapse of the left wing was suppressed, the two sides entered a tragic war of attrition again. Bunches of cannon fodder, cannon fodder, and high-level cannon fodder were killed, and the bodies were cut into pieces. Later, they were trampled by the enemy and their own people, and even his mother could not recognize him...
"Damn it, if the two wings charged at the same time just now, I should have won at this time - what happened over there - no - that bastard named Egil!!!"
