Chapter 597： The Fall of York

, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!

The Northumbrian warriors guarding the city were trembling. They saw the Viking army rushing towards York, as if the Ouse River was flooding and sleeping, destroying the city.

They even tremble with their bow arms, meaning that the previous opponent shot the arrow into the city, and the defending Earl Grey Woolf was a little relieved.

He had checked the arrows of the Vikings, and had seen the pointed clusters of arrows, and was surprised that they did not seem to be pure iron. The arrow clusters are all of the same style, as well as the "stones" that smashed in. The blacksmiths who took refuge said that these were iron, the strange iron they had seen for the first time.

Can a simple barbarian do this?

If the attacker is the army of the Frankish Kingdom, Grey Woolf can still understand, but their flags are marked with blue stripes, and some of the flags are black bird patterns, not irises at all.

He saw that the attackers were carrying a large number of ladders, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Soldiers! Get the stones ready, the savages are putting up the ladder and smashing them to death!"

Chengtou prepared a batch of stones, but is this enough? Grey Woolf greeted his men to continue to carry the stones, but the Vikings' offensive firepower began.

Rurik deliberately took his main force to keep a distance from the main attacking Balmerk army.

The soldiers of the first banner team lined up, looking at the allies screaming for siege, how can they be envious.

They have their own responsibilities, which is to guard all the crossbowmen behind them.

Rurik stood in the battle with his sword, and many flags fluttered around him.

All the archers were assaulted into a relatively regular five-man column.

Each column stood tightly with a hundred people, with ten arrows stuck in front of each.

After the archer's matrix is ​​a torsion slingshot and a catapult with a shooting angle up to the sky, which is supported by thirty heavy weapons.

Rurik swung his dagger, and support began immediately.

There was a dense swish sound from the air, and the spiral feather arrows formed a rain of arrows, forming a hit zone with a width of more than 100 meters and a probability of nearly 50 meters.

However, this area is the key spot behind the city wall. The reserve troops of the defending army are busy carrying the stones on the city wall, and the arrows are smashed down.

They were unprepared, and when they heard a swoosh, they would avoid it subconsciously.

The arrow slammed down fiercely by gravity, causing the peasant soldier who had no armor and only common clothes to suffer huge losses on the spot.

Many arrows passed by Grey Woolf, but he could no longer care about his comfort.

He turned and yelled at the people scurrying under the city wall: "Don't run away! Keep supplying stones."

However, at the moment when his life is unsafe, the farmer is instinctively running for his life.

An arrow smashed through the thatched roof of the house, hitting the women and children who had taken refuge in the house.

When some people read the picture and ran outside, they were simply killed by a javelin.

It was a torsion slingshot that fired a javelin, and its power was basically neutral.

There are more local stones, and even large pebbles transported from the northern coast. They were all thrown by bull trebuchets, and those who were hit were also broken to pieces.

Only a few farmers continued to support with wooden boards against their heads, but there was still chaos in the city.

For hundreds of years, York has experienced several wars, but such a siege is the first time that even the oldest old man in the city has encountered it.

The arrows of the Russian army smashed into the city on a large scale, and they flew over the head of the siege army.

"My son is mighty, haha! I hope my people won't get hurt after breaking through the city." Magnut under the city was extremely excited.

Magnuth was already an old man, so he wouldn't risk climbing the ladder. Naturally, he swaggered into the city after waiting for the debris at the gate to be cleared.

The city-head warriors of Northumbria, they took great risks to defend the battlements.

Ladder after ladder was placed on the city wall, followed by the climb of the warrior in iron armor.

Shooting them at close range with arrows, except for broken arrows and scratches in clusters of arrows, what use is there?

The Danish Grund took his brothers to the top of the city without any loss. They stood in front of the shocked Northumbria warrior in orange, and decisively pulled out the dagger and hand axe from their waist, even simply. It's an iron rod.

The archers of the Northumbrian Army had long been shot in large numbers by the steel-armed crossbows that were precisely attacked, and the warriors who threw stones were also killed.

They were suppressed, and the heavy armored fighters of Rurik made a full climb. They wielded their weapons and started killing indiscriminately.

There were also a large number of iron men. The scene of their fighting was seen by the soldiers in the city, and the Viking army immediately became vigorous!

Magnuth trembled with excitement, and sighed with emotion, "Rose's Rurik is really a hero. According to his method, we broke the city easily. My daughter married the right person."

He also saw that his eldest son and second son began to climb the ladder with the most capable Balmerk fighters, and now the army has no obstruction.

The Russ army quickly fired ten rounds of arrows. It was seen that the enemy's city wall had missed, and the Balmerk's raven flag floated on the top of the city. Obviously, continued support would accidentally injure the friendly army.

Rurik ordered to stop, and shouted at his cousin Arik, "Brother! Let's march too!"

"Okay! Follow them up the wall."

"No! Just under the city, wait for the gate to open!"

Grund and his guys made horrific killings in the city. Seeing that they were lost, Gray Wood hurriedly retreated with a group of people.

Their trusted city wall defense line has collapsed, and Grund, who is covered in blood, sneered at all the escaped enemies, "You are all a pile of dung! Come on! Don't run, continue fighting with me."

But now Glend, his silver-plated iron armor was completely dyed red by the enemy's blood.

The priests said that the demons of **** were blood-red like this, and the terrified Northumbrian warriors screamed and screamed Satan's apostles and rushed in.

The city was also in a mess, the arrow feathers on the ground were like wheat ears waiting to be received, and a large number of dead bodies and even a group of struggling people were lying on the ground.

Graywood didn't know where to go, I am afraid that only the stone building of the palace could give the remaining soldiers a little hope.

He rushed into the palace with more than a hundred of his men, and soon found the queen and even the prince.

Queen Anna is an unclean after all, and has no respect for this woman, Gray Woolf.

He especially asked the crying little prince Ella, "His Royal Highness, I will arrange for someone to send you out of the city secretly."

But Ella howled when she was completely frightened by Grey Woolf's fierce face.

Queen Anna hurriedly comforted the child and asked, "Where is the king? How do we escape. Could it be that the savages have..."

Grey Woolf kicked the queen rudely, cursing, "You are an unclean woman, you should die. But the prince must live, York is over, we will fight for the prince's evacuation to the last minute."

After all, he threw a short blade to the queen, "Fight. Or force the opponent to kill you."

Anna slowly picked up the dagger, her faith dictated suicide is absolutely impossible, is it possible to fight?

Can't commit suicide, can't kill, a woman is bound by faith, how to be a female warrior?

The queen was in a dilemma. When she stood by the window and saw the swarming army of barbarians, she simply fainted...

"She was scared to death?" the soldier asked again.

"Leave her alone. Brothers, take the prince with us."

Ella cried for her mother, but Gray Woolf didn't bother to linger, picked up the child and withdrew.

She Ji is really dead? He is not so stupid, even such an army of barbarians will not be able to defeat even if the king returns with his troops.

At least Ella is still alive, and she takes her brothers to protect him. If anything goes wrong, Ella will be elected king by the brothers, so that everyone can be honored in the future.

Gray Woolf is indeed an egoist, but his actions are actually loyal to the king.

He took his brothers around the little prince and walked through the muddy drains of the city, regardless of the tragedy in the city or the success of reaching outside the city.

However, the Vikings guarded against all this.

The soldiers who were ordered to burn the bridge, they now carried a batch of crossbows, and lay in ambush to prevent the enemy from escaping in chaos.

The Northumbrians blocked all the city gates, but their escape from the sewers also surprised the soldiers.

The people who stood by and waited for the rabbits were all Roses, and the archery master Frazer took them. Everyone also knew of Rurik's order to catch as much as possible.

But those kingdom fighters appeared, it seemed impossible to catch them alive.

Frazer took the precision shots of his men and was shocked by Grey Woolf who wanted to escape, but how could his overly obvious target escape?

A crossbow arrow directly smashed its skull, and the whole person was regarded as dead.

His nobility was limited to Northumbria, and his death was also abrupt.

The Rus' ambush stunned the kingdom warriors, followed by melee melee.

The warriors of the kingdom who were not killed fled back along the sewer, and the rest were killed in battle.

A well-dressed teenager with tears on his face looked at the blood-stained blue-patterned soldier in white robe holding a round shield in horror.

"Boss, this **** doesn't look like a mortal, I'm afraid he is a nobleman."

"If it's really a nobleman, if we catch the Lord Duke, we brothers can all be rewarded."

Fletzer gasped heavily, "Yes, it should be a nobleman. First tie up this cub, and we continue to ambush. Listen to me, all who escaped are shot."

However, York has broken the city!

The debris in the front door was sparsely cleaned, and the door opened a small gap, which was enough.

The people who ate the two-handed axe quickly smashed the gate, and the army waiting to climb the wall stepped over the debris accumulated at the gate and ran straight into the city.

The Balmerks immediately turned into beasts and began to plunder in all directions.

As agreed before the war, they wantonly arrested people, killed when they encountered resistance, and all beggers were spared.

A large number of women and children were **** and pulled out of the refuge, so that many barbaric Balmerk fighters immediately picked up their robes...

Rurik had already entered the city with his mighty army, and he shook his head when he saw the chaos in the city.

"Haha, our allies are very energetic, and there are women screaming everywhere." Arik was very excited, as if he wanted to try it.

Rurik glanced at his old brother through the iron helmet, "Are you tempted?"

"Forget it. Are you belittling me? I don't care about women here, I only care about honor. Can you?"

"I? Leave them alone, and Magnut. Our army controls the granary. All the wheat belongs to Ross. I want to use the wheat here to feed the women and children in our hometown."

Arik nodded, and restrained his soldiers to remain calm.

At least in terms of military discipline, the elite divisions of the Ross First Banner are obedient to the words of Lord Rurik. Most of the people in the shooting flag team are now ordered to stand by outside the city, so as not to make trouble after entering the city in a daze.

At this time, the blood-stained Grund and others came out with a deep breath, took off the iron helmet and said, "We have completed the task, brothers have no loss."

Rurik was taken aback, unconsciously stepped back to the blood-stained man, and asked: "Good job. Have you found the granary?"

"Just ahead." Grund pointed out with a blood axe.

"Let's go." Rurik smiled reluctantly, "I will reward you each with a pound of silver."

The people hiding in the dwellings were picked out, and many soldiers laughed and took away all the softness that the locals could use.

Otherwise, Magnuth led a group of people into the church as kings.

"The barbarians are coming!" the praying man yelled, and then everyone screamed.

Magnuth just waved his hand and casually ordered: "Go arrest someone."

Knowing that there must be wealth here, the Balmerks flocked to them. They did not kill first, but tied the asylum seekers out.

Only those priests who refused to surrender were killed as martyrs.

The sacred place was desecrated, and the Balmerks found gold and silver objects, and even coins and jewels in the cellar.

The wealth of the church was taken away, but they didn't seem to be much, and Magnut was a little disappointed about this.

Looking at Biyuni again, he lacks interest in capturing prisoners. It is the greatest honor to break the king's residence!

He took more than a hundred people to kill the last guard, and even a few courtiers who had no power to restrain the chicken, broke the gate and broke into the king's inner fort.

The servants hiding inside were all captured by Bijuni, who forced him to ask in a very lame Saxon simple language: "Where is your king?"

The captured servants were wailing, and they couldn't understand nonsense.

"Damn it, brothers, you all don't understand their language?" Biyuni asked angrily. Of course his guys didn't understand.

He saw the erratic eyes of several servants again, and he knew it.

"Is it on the upper level? Let's go, brothers, let's capture the king. Ernred, wait for me!"

Of course Bijuni knew Ernred, and he had some contact with their family.

All this is because of what happened last year, and now the original intention of the coalition forces is to seek important points from Northumbria.

But now, Bijuni wants to replace it.

He quickly found the king's palace, it was really easy to find. But seeing a shivering woman curled up here, with a dagger beside her, aroused great doubts again.

The opened stone window brought light, but the cold wind also poured into it.

Seeing the barbarian army invaded, the woman took out a dagger out of hesitation, stood up trembling, and the wind blew her hair away, revealing a poor tear-stained face. She took the dagger and pointed at all the approaching people, and she kept retreating to the window, and looked at the tragedy outside, and she was stalemate in trembling.

She wailed in Saxon and asked the barbarians not to come.

Seeing this woman's face was more startled than Yongni, this woman was still quite young, and the haggard face made him feel a touch of affection.

It turned out that it was her!

Biyuni smiled and opened his hands to signal his men not to move forward.

He thrust the sword fiercely on the wooden floor, and then slowly took off the iron helmet.

"Queen Anna, I know you. You! You have seen me too."

That was the beginning of all suffering in Bamburgh.

Queen Anna is less than thirty years old, and she cannot be selected from ordinary noble girls without her beauty.

She is just a girl who goes with the crowd, Bamburgh is only trying to protect her children, but now.

She recognized the faces of several terrible barbarians, such as the man in front of her. This man is indeed familiar with the more he looks, but this man is also a villain.

Thinking of Grey Woolf's instructions, she angered the enemy in exchange for killing him if she couldn't commit suicide, and then rushed over with a dagger and screaming.

Is this a fight? Pooh! This is deliberately seeking death!

This is indeed death, she hopes that Bijuni will kill herself and end her miserable life.

But Biyuni didn't. Instead, he interrupted his dagger and pressed him to the wooden floor, pinching his neck with one hand and pressing his waist with one knee, just as easy as a lamb. .

"I know you. Wang! Where?" Biyuni asked, lowering his head.

Although Bijuni learned a little Saxon in order to invade Northumbria, Anna fully understood his crappy words.

"The king... is outside. He will come back."

Biyuni knew at least that Ainred was not in the city, and he also knew that the queen in black robe of nun was really unclean.

But this woman's pitiful expression aroused Qi Biyunni's interest instead.

"Unclean woman? No! I want to possess you. You are noble than the women outside. Now serve me and keep you alive."

This is the Norse language, and Bijuni changed another language to piece together his own meaning with simple vocabulary.

Looking at the unclean queen again, she relaxed and stopped struggling, lying on the ground just crying.

She acquiesced if she didn't resist, and Biyun was really hooked on conquering a noble woman in this way.

He hurriedly called the other brothers out, and also asked his brother Frocky to avoid it.

The wooden door of the king's palace was closed, and the soldiers who stayed outside the door busy searching for the king's treasure soon heard the abnormal noise in the palace.

It was the woman's howls and screams, and even Bijuni's roar.

Then a soldier patted Froggy's head, who was busy holding the silver plate, with unkind intentions: "Boy, your brother found you a strange but noble sister-in-law. Are you happy?"

"Bah! I understand. That woman is not noble, I don't like it. She is only worthy to be a slave to raise cattle." After that, Frocky took a sputum.

This move caused many soldiers to laugh frantically.

Others yelled, "Unfortunately their king can't produce a little princess. Frocky, this kingdom may not be worthy of your woman."

When Biyunni walked out of the closed door with her thick chest hair exposed, people quietly saw that the queen was curled up in a sheet, her eyes absent, and she seemed to have confessed her fate again.

Someone was extremely puzzled and asked, "Boss, you killed here for this woman? In my opinion, it's about to be killed. You can humiliate the king who doesn't know where ~ www.novelhall.com~ is just her? Just kill her. So she agreed." Biyuni shook his head and shook his head, then looked at his close friends, "No matter how bad she is, she is also a queen. I have her and I am a king of course. Brothers, my father is old. When he went to the Hall of Valor, I mean you are the leader. We moved all the people from our hometown here, and this is our new home. York is our national capital."

Froggy raised his head with a sullen face and asked, "Do you really want this woman to be a queen? Our hometown..."

"Don't worry, your sister (also sister-in-law) is my dearest love. As for this woman, it's just a tool."

"Oh, all right."

The capable fighters looked at each other, everyone supported Biyunni as the king, and patted Biyunni on the shoulder to show further support.

Biyuni was overjoyed and walked back to the king's bedroom.

After a while, Anna changed into a dress. She no longer needed a rope to tie her up. She followed Bjorn in a trance, like a walking dead, or her soul died completely after her son was taken away by Gray Woolf... …
