Conan: The Mechanic

Chapter 193: - lure the enemy

It turns out that Noah's Ark is a little bit against his feelings.

Chiba, who was hiding on the edge of the battlefield, thought so when the British soldiers found her for the fourth time.

I am obviously at the very edge of the battlefield, why are so many people coming to me?

Qianyu slapped the British soldier's soft underside with the body of his sword, causing him to bow, and then pierced the abdomen of the British soldier with the sword.

Harold II's army consisted of a small number of Guards and a large number of militias. The Guards were all well-equipped troops, but the militia's equipment was very crude.

For example, a person with armor would definitely not be affected by Chiba's method of slapping with a light weapon, but a militiaman without armor could only resist this, and then grimaced in pain.

As for why Chiba used the sword to shoot instead of chop. . . It is entirely because the Umbrella is close to the form of a short stick in melee combat, so he uses it easily - in the normal world, only fluffy clothes or professional body armor can resist this move.

However, there are too many people. . . Chiyu blocked the spear with his sword, took a step forward, and stabbed the enemy in the ribs with the hilt of the sword, taking advantage of the opponent's incompetence to complete the harvest.

In the face of this level of rookie, Qianyu can safely complete the torture.

However, the absolute crushing of one point cannot save the rout of the face.

Although the other Viking soldiers were not attacked by multiple enemies, they were besieged by two or three soldiers. Even if they were all militiamen, they had the offensive ability not inferior to the elite soldiers (of course, the defense ability was more important. much worse)

The Viking soldiers who were originally near Chiba had fallen one by one.

Not good, let's retreat first. . . Otherwise you will die!

At this moment, the movement behind him caught Qianyu's attention-a steel-like shield wall had already stood on a high ground behind him, and a blue border and white background embroidered with a blue bird was on the shield. Fluttering behind the wall. (This is the Viking "Earth Destroyer" battle flag)

The Vikings' military literacy and the experience of Harald III allowed them to regroup after the initial blow, ready to meet Harold's army from afar. (This, of course, was largely due to the time the three-champion Vikings won more than 40 consecutive single-challenge games.)

Qianyu hurriedly retreated in the direction of the shield wall, and circled to the back of the shield wall from the side—his shield was slapped into the water with a stick by the opponent due to a mistake in the previous block, so it was impossible to participate in the shield formation.

If Chiba were to judge, he believed that in a short time Harold's army would be relatively advantageous because of the omissions that the Vikings had no armor. But after a period of fighting, Harold's army, who came here by rushing, would be in a dilemma of lack of physical strength.

However, now, the well-armed Anglo-Saxon Guards make Qianyu's scalp tingling.

Whether it was a fine long sword, a sturdy shield, or a chain mail that covered a large area, the armament of the Guards was no less than that of Chiba. . . Although these Guards seem to be only a small part of the entire British army, they are still the most important core force of the British army.

As the British army, which also formed a strict formation, gradually advanced to a position more than 100 meters away from the Viking army, more than 20 British cavalrymen in chain armor left the team and ran towards the Viking battle formation on horseback.

A majestic roar came from the center of the battle formation, and spears stretched out from between the shield walls and stood upright—this was the best countermeasure against the cavalry charge.

A cavalryman left the formation of more than 20 other cavalrymen and came to the front of the Viking soldiers.

"Huh!" A loud Viking battle cry came from the Viking soldiers in front of the cavalry - more soldiers joined the second battle cry, and more soldiers joined the third battle cry.

The cavalry forcefully controlled the warhorse under his crotch, and tilted his head to show his disdain for the Viking battle cry.

"Tostig, your brother King Harold greets you. If you can agree to his terms and keep peace with him, you will be able to get a third of the kingdom!"

Tostig? Chiba frowned - Tostig was Harold's brother, exiled by Harold for a quarrel and had several failed uprisings.

Is this an attempt to persuade Tostig to surrender?

"Then what can my brother, the king of Norway, get?" shouted a man dressed as an Anglo-Saxon Guard under the banner.

"Ah, Harald?" The cavalry said mockingly. "Since he's taller than the average man, I'd be generous enough to give him a seven-foot-square piece of land--I don't mind if it's bigger!"

After speaking, he returned to the British army surrounded by other cavalry.

A few minutes later, the onslaught of British soldiers began, and a group of British soldiers began to charge the shield wall—all militiamen without chainmail.

Qianyu felt that the threat of this wave of charge was not too big - although the British army did have sufficient physical strength in a short period of time, it did not mean that they could fight against the shield wall in the case of upward attack, let alone. . .

A large number of arrows were projected from the back of the shield wall to the British soldiers who were charging. When the British soldiers rushed to the front of the shield wall, they did not have the confrontation shield in terms of morale, physical strength, number or armament. the ability of the wall.

After these militiamen let individual sub-platoons of the Viking Shield Wall come to the first row, they disappeared from the command sequence of the British army in the form of rout or death.

Although recruiting soldiers was indeed a very high-end practice in this era, Chiba still frowned.

There is a story in the Far East with an anti-war ideology: "The poor bones by the river are like the people in the dream of a spring boudoir." It was not only Harold's people who died in front of the shield wall, but also his wife's husband~ www.readwn.com ~ the father of the child, the child of the old man.

The British army soon launched a second assault, and it was still a completely defenseless militia.

Chiyu's brows furrowed—is this an attempt to use human life to carry out a futile attack? It would be too naive for Harold to think that such an attack could break the shield wall. . .

At the same time as the militia attacked, the British army began to move forward. However, the shock effect of the militiamen was very poor. Although they still maintained a considerable strength when approaching the shield wall, they were defeated earlier than the first shock.

Harold II is in trouble. . . The schadenfreude in Qian Yu's eyes was even worse.

In some cases, a rout is more troublesome than a death - after all, a rout may break the formation of the troops, but there is absolutely no personal risk of this.

"Come on!" A majestic voice came from the banner of the battle, and a man wearing equipment not inferior to the sturdy officers before waved his sword and rushed out of the shield wall that made way for him, roaring furiously. "All army, charge with me!"

It seems that it should be Harald III. Only he has the power to order the troops to abandon the favorable situation of the highlands and charge the opponent.

However, after Chiyu launched a charge along with the Viking soldiers who had disarmed the shield formation, the situation changed abruptly.

The main force of the British army was divided into three parts, giving way to two retreating paths for the defeated troops, and then rushed towards the Viking soldiers who had given up the shield formation in a rushing attitude. After passing through the two passages, the routed soldiers immediately joined the end of the main British army and participated in the charge.

The dark British soldiers immediately accelerated and crashed into the Viking Legion.

The previous wave of "routing troops was far from broken" was actually far from the level of collapse, but just pretended to be defeated, in order to lure the belligerent Harald III to give up his defense and take the initiative to attack!
