At the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was a feudal town, but in Western Europe

Fortunately, his Tang army moved fast enough, or in other words, the Vikings moved slowly enough to find a way out of the dead end.

Soon, more scouts returned from all directions, and after gathering all kinds of information into Feng Sen's mind, after a short thought, Feng Sen raised the curved knife in his hand and shouted loudly:

"You gentlemen!"

"exist!"

The crowd replied in unison.

"All line up, march to the forest in the northeast!"

"promise!"

Although they ran all night, after a two-hour rest, both horses and people recovered a lot of energy. Under the leadership of small schools at all levels, Tang Jun rushed towards the forest in the northeast at high speed.

…………

Glore ran back and forth among the Vikings' squad on horseback: "Odin's brave warriors! I know you are angry, because this time, because of the incompetent Harrison, we did not achieve our goal of attacking Hamburg. Although we robbed the surrounding villages, this still does not make me and my warriors feel at ease.

However, Olaf and Wager have obtained countless wealth from Bremen, but if we just looted some villages and cattle and sheep, would they be willing to share that wealth with us?

So, in order to get the wealth we deserve, and to prove our valor to Odin, kill these Avars who plundered Denmark!I don't care who it is, even a slave, as long as he can take off the head of the Earl of Hamburg, I will give him a piece of sterling silver the size of his head! "

"Oh——" Countless cheers erupted from the advancing Viking warriors.

"So, my warriors! Hurry up! Don't let them escape our grasp!" Glol looked at the Viking army who had obviously accelerated their pace with satisfaction. Suddenly, a sentry stepped forward. Come and whisper in his ear for a while.

"What? Run away?" Glore's eyes were about to pop out. "Can their horses ride on water? How can they still run?"

"My lord, we did stop their boat in the river in time, but they all had two horses, and our speed was not as fast as theirs, so..." the messenger replied, "But it's no different, my lord, they are exhausted, and they can't escape far. They stopped at the mound over there."

Glore's expression was uncertain for a while, he stepped on a horse, and pointed his long sword to the northwest: "Warriors from the Vikings, let's go there for the decisive battle!"

…………

The most important thing in the strategic confrontation between the two armies is that you must never do what the enemy wants you to do. You want to fight decisively by the river to block my maneuvering space, but I will not let you.

Riding on the horse, Feng Sen's brain was spinning rapidly. He is currently surrounded by enemy troops, and the most important thing is to escape from the encirclement.

But in fact, one's own horsepower is limited. Once the horsepower drops after running too far, it is necessary to abandon the advantage of maneuvering and fight the enemy hand-to-hand. This is very unfavorable to Feng Sen, who has a relatively small number of people.

The reason why the Tang army has won consecutive battles here depends on the quality of the army, the advanced equipment, and the superb mobility.

The Han people are not really superhumans. Once they lose mobility and fall into crowd tactics, the 400 people are really not enough. Even if Feng Sen can escape, more than half of these old brothers who have settled down will die. In the end, it is still a loss.

He said he was going to the forest, but he didn't intend to actually go to the forest to fight the enemy, that would be to give up his advantage instead.

When Feng Sen supported hundreds of households some time ago, in addition to the above purpose, he also had another purpose to investigate the topography of the Hamburg area and draw a map. If he remembers correctly, there is a mound at the front of the forest.

This forest is intricate and densely covered with swamps. Backed by the forest, it is difficult for the enemy to sneak attack. In this way, only two sides are used for defense, and the terrain can also be used to restore horsepower.

But Feng Sen's main goal is not to crush so many Viking soldiers by himself, but to wait for rescue. Whether it is the [-] soldiers in Hamburg or the Saxon soldiers scattered in various tribal villages, Feng Sen firmly believes that as long as If he can gather them together, he will definitely win!

Chapter 71 The Elbe, at the Battle of the Bank

"Jieshuai, we're here." Zhang Shicheng called, pointing at the small mound ahead.

Under the morning light, a low mound was revealed, surrounded by green grass, but the air was a little cloudy, probably because it was on the edge of a swamp. Feng Sen jumped off his horse, took a bow and arrow, and carefully observed the terrain near the mound.

The mound was located on the edge of the forest, facing south, the highest point was only six feet above the ground, and there was a flat area on the top of the mound, which could barely stand two hundred riders, and the rest of the soldiers stood on the gentle slope on the other side.

The northeast side of the mound is forest, the south side is the Elbe River, and there is no shelter around it, only some low bushes.

Seeing the terrain clearly, Feng Sen inserted the bow and arrow back into the quiver, and told Zhang Shicheng who was beside him: "Ah Cheng, you guard the top of the slope, don't go down the hill easily, let the soldiers dig some trenches around the surrounding area or Put up some wooden fences."

"Here." Zhang Shicheng, who was always rough, became a lot more serious at this time.

Feng Sen immediately rushed to the other side of the slope with another cavalry, and beside him were a hundred or so Saxon militiamen, who were also brought here by Feng Sen from the river.

"Dick Hundreds!"

"Here!" Dick replied immediately, clasping his hands.

"You lead people here to cut down trees, make horses, and guard our back road by the way, don't let the Vikings sneak attack."

"Here!"

Feng Sen glanced around and waved to Iopa: "Chief Iopa, you are familiar with the forest here, I will give you some horses, you pick some guides, and take my messenger from here Report from the forest to Hamburg."

After arranging everything, Feng Sen rode back to the top of the mound and waited quietly.

Two quarters of an hour later, the south was suddenly filled with dust. In a chaotic pace, a huge team of Vikings came slowly. They also had a cavalry squad of more than [-] people, patrolling around.

Team of Vikings!

They are coming.

Feng Sen was expressionless, and said to Zhang Shicheng beside him, "Get ready to meet the enemy."

Zhang Shicheng nodded.

A small group of Viking troops who arrived first stood in front of the mound. After spitting on the ground, they quickly formed a shield formation and charged towards the mound.

"Ahhh-"

"Wow--"

With a messy battle roar, the Viking tapped the shield in front of him with the handle of the hatchet and charged towards the mound. The distance from the place where the charge started to the bottom of the mound was not too far.

"Let the arrow!"

Zhang Shicheng waved the whip in his hand vigorously. As the bowstring bounced, hundreds of spiked arrows shot into the sky. It was still a familiar scene. At such a short distance, the kinetic energy loss of the bow and arrow was extremely small.

With the whistling sound of Ming Dy, the feathered arrows pierced through the Vikings' shields and pierced into their arms and hearts, blood splashed, and seven or eight Viking warriors had already fallen in a pool of blood.

But this did not stop the raging anger of the Viking warriors. They shouted the gods of Odin and Thor and continued to rush towards the top of the slope, but they did not notice it at all, because they subconsciously avoided the trenches and forests on both sides. , they have squeezed into a narrow passage in the middle.

Seeing that the Viking army was about to rush to the mound, Feng Sen pulled down his visor and raised the curved knife in his hand: "Kill——"

Amid the sound of horseshoes and shouts of killing, the 50-man cavalry led by Feng Sen rushed out. The high steep slope added more speed and kinetic energy to Feng Sen's cavalry, and countless smoke and dust covered the Viking soldiers their eyes.

When they raised their heads again, a horseshoe that was bigger than their heads suddenly stepped on it!

There was a sound of broken bones and screams. Feng Sen swung his bent knife, and Arvo dutifully erected his round shield to block the Vikings' throwing axes and spears for Feng Sen. Her face It was covered with blood, and the meteor hammer in his hand was covered with traces of white flowers.

In such a narrow passage, Feng Sen's Xuanjia cavalry was like a long knife, splitting the majestic body of the Viking in an instant.

The formation of the Vikings dispersed, Zhang Shicheng naturally would not let go of this good opportunity, he waved his hand again with a smirk: "Shoot the arrow!"

Another wave of arrows fell, and the Vikings, who had lost their companions and shield protection, fell to the ground in rows like cutting wheat amidst the rain of arrows.

Glore's face was a little blue looking at the vanguard army that had fled back, and the hand holding the long sword around his waist was a little ready to move, these damned cowards!

Looking at the low mounds and narrow terrain over there, Glore said to the followers on both sides: "Find some hunters who used to be hunters, and take 200 people from the forest to go around behind them."

"Yes, my lord!"

Glore turned his horse's head and faced the Viking soldiers behind him: "My warriors, it's still the same sentence, the person who took the head of the Earl of Hamburg will give priority to the distribution of the spoils of Bremen, and I will also give a piece of the same head. Equivalent to..."

Before he finished speaking, Gloer suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes behind him and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. He turned around and saw a group of cavalry running down the mound. The leader was wearing a viking A man's flying wing goggles, under the helmet, reveals a beautiful blond hair.

"I am the daughter of Wario, the heir to the Kingdom of Denmark, Arvo! I have come here to bring you a message. Your troops who looted Bremen have failed, and all your wealth has been wiped out! You The leader simply can't pay your salaries for dispatching troops!"

Riding on a tall horse, like a Valkyrie, Arvo shouted loudly: "Go back quickly, the king of Frank is furious, and the army of the whole kingdom is gathering, a total of 3 troops, for your own lives! Go back quickly! Now Bremen is not fortified, at least some property can be regained!"

A throwing ax struck from the Viking formation, Arvo seemed to have a third eye, and easily blocked his throwing ax with his shield.

Glore's chest heaved rapidly as he rode the horse.

While the other soldiers were talking about it, some were puzzled, and some laughed. A little Viking leader shouted: "Dear shield girl, do you have evidence for what you say?"

Arvo cut open the sack on the ground, exposing one of Wag, she whipped Wag on the back with a whip, and Wag took seven or eight steps forward before stopping.

"Vag!" shouted a familiar Viking soldier.

"Aren't you looting in Bremen?" the soldiers shouted in surprise.

Wag stood between Arvo and the Viking battle formation, unable to advance or retreat. Arvo picked up the sack on the ground with his spear and threw it towards the Viking battle formation.

Seven or eight heads rolled in the battle formation of the Vikings.

"Ah Watson!"

"This is my cousin's friend, and he's looting in Bremen!"

"Too bad, Bremen didn't win at all."

"Count Glore is lying to us!"

As the heads moved among the troops, the noisy cries became louder and louder, almost turning into a huge wave of sound, wrapping Glore in it and drifting with the tide.

The Vikings were angry, scared, and disappointed. Some of them turned their heads and wanted to board the boat and leave, while others quickly surrounded Glore, wanting to ask for an explanation. May, take back our property!"

The entire Viking army was in chaos, and Glol was surrounded by his own soldiers in a panic, shouting in the chaos of the army: "Fake news, this is fake news!"

You must know that the Vikings also used villages as units to go out to plunder, and the relationship between them was very weak. Each Viking war group had different leaders, and each Viking war group had its own ideas and interests.

As Arvo retreated quietly, Glol tried his best to send envoys to appease the remaining leaders of the warband, and asked to talk with them. The chaos of the entire Viking army lasted for almost an hour before it basically settled down.

But even so, there are still many warband leaders who insist on not attacking again. They will never launch an attack until they are sure that the Bremen looting army is safe and sound. to his side, but they were equally restless.

While Glore was struggling to explain to the leaders of the various battle groups, suddenly, a big Viking man shouted: "Look! Look! Our ship!"

On the Elbe River, seven or eight Vikings are slowly approaching.

"Did you see it!" Glol was overjoyed, "I'll tell you that it must be fake, the boat in the front belongs to my good brother Olaf, I know him even after death! It must be Wag who is attacking Bulai Meishi will only deceive us when he is captured, Olaf is not dead at all, he is here to support us!"

"Wait, Lord Earl, wait a minute, look! Look at the flag on that ship!"

Gloor fixed his eyes, only to feel that his brain was hit hard with a warhammer. On the Viking longship, a yellow flag was fluttering and fluttering, and on the flag was a Chinese character that the Vikings couldn't understand - Feng!

In the dizziness, Gloer suddenly heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes again. He thought it was the cavalry on the mound descending again, but after careful identification, he realized that the sound of horseshoes was coming from behind Come.

On the horizon in the distance, Xuanjia heavy cavalry lined up are rushing towards them like a wave!

Feng Sen's reinforcements have arrived!

Chapter 72 The Elbe, after the Battle of the Bank

"Ugh-"

Han Shizhong and the [-] Jingnan cavalry and the [-] Saxon and Frankish mixed infantry battalion had already appeared on the edge of the wide world, and the sound of the horn sounded in everyone's ears.

Lying on the horse's back, Han Shizhong undulated along with the horse under him, and on both sides of him were Xuanjia cavalry in a wild goose formation.

Han Shizhong was originally a general of the infantry, but in the current situation, the cavalry is invincible, and he can only play a guest role once.

"Fire arrows!"

Han Shizhong drew the riding bow in his hand. The riding bow is heavy on the rate of fire, so most of them are seven-double bows. Han Shizhong, who is used to pulling strong bows and crossbows, is not used to it.

Countless long arrows flew out and hit the scattered Vikings. In this situation, the Vikings had only one end, which was to fall to the ground twitching with blood all over their bodies.

"Shield formation!"

Countless shouts sounded in the Viking army, but what is ok is that the Vikings who have always been united in the village battle group, like the Saxons before, cannot form a large shield formation, only a few Familiar villages stood together to form an army formation.

For Viking troops who are used to skirmishers and small-scale combat, it is too difficult to form a large-scale shield formation in a short period of time.

As the sound of horseshoes approached, in the panic formation that the Vikings were trying to form, Han Shizhong took the lead and rushed into the rear of the Vikings' formation.

Ma Leng stabbed out mercilessly, blood splashed, and the wails mixed with the battle roars played an incoherent bloody melody.

The horn of counterattack has already sounded. Standing on the top of the mound, Feng Sen picked up the bent knife and pointed in the direction of Viking from a distance: "Masters, destroy this Chaoshi!"

After finishing speaking, he pulled off his ferocious visor, lightly slapped the saddle with the blade, and then, behind him, three sounds sounded together with the same neat slaps:

"kill!"

"kill!!"

"kill!!!"

With the sky full of smoke and dust, Feng Sen and 100 Xuanjia cavalry, followed by more than [-] infantry, rushed towards the Viking army formation. Zhang Shicheng took the lead and rushed to the front, with a long horse lance dancing vigorously.

"Shield wall! Shield wall!" Glol's shout seemed so helpless amidst the overwhelming roars and screams.

It is true that many Viking warriors formed a small shield wall of seven to 80 people under the leadership of the leader of the battle group, or a large shield wall of hundreds of people, but what is the use of that?

The plunder of the Vikings not only contributed to the age of castles, but also the age of knights, because the heavy cavalry was their nemesis, and the medieval Western Europeans were not stupid. For their lives, they would definitely do it through trial and error. make the most correct choice.

This choice is cavalry, heavy armored shock cavalry!

The formation of the cavalry led by Zhang Shicheng was like a scalpel, precisely passing through the fragile main artery of the Viking army formation, directly cutting off the connection between the various Viking shield walls.
