The fire in Bremen will only intensify, especially when St. Peter's Church is completely caught in flames. The corpses of the people who died in it, as well as those who fell on the winding road, will be turned into ashes in the fire, and a cremation will end.

They are like being sacrificed for the entire city, and their deaths are like countless slaps, slapped in the face of the local lord.

Earl Hunter desperately led his troops back to Bremen. There was clearly still some distance from the city, and the pungent burnt smell was already permeated so that he could clearly smell it.

The cavalry soldiers covered their mouths and noses one after another, looking at the heavy smoke ahead, the whole army was shocked and slowed down.

People can try their best to stay calm, warhorses have seen such a scene before. War horses are more fearful than humans, and some horses dare not move in a panic.

A large number of family members of the cavalry were in the city. Doesn't it seem that all the family members were killed?

Just like this flame, thinking of the possibility of these disasters, the anger in the soldiers' hearts burst and burn.

They could already feel the heat of the flames gradually. As they entered the farmland near the city, the cavalry stood on the bare harvested wheat field, looking bloodshot at the burning city and never dared to move.

The temperature has been cooler, and the cavalry dismounted one after another. Just standing here, everyone can feel the unprecedented heat, which is more intense than the summer heat, just like the purgatory scene that the priest said.

Priest? Look at the spire standing in the flames! That turned out to be St. Peter's Church!

It was a coincidence that the masonry tower finally collapsed due to the load-bearing wooden pillars, and the tower collapsed as a whole. The shock and roar caused by the collapse were directly felt by the feet of the cavalry. Along with the collapse, there was a thicker gray smoke rising up, and a momentary crimson flame sprayed into the sky, like a crack in the earth, and the monsters of **** were about to rush out.

Many soldiers were so scared that they sat on the ground and retreated one after another, and many people knelt on their knees, threw their spears, and kept drawing crosses on their chests.

In such a horrible scene, Earl Hunt could not speak of fear, or even anger. He looked blank, none of this seemed to be true, but a hateful nightmare. He gritted his teeth hard and realized that all of this is reality.

They watched here until night fell, and until night, the sky was bright red by the unquenchable fire of Bremen.

The house of the Earl of Bremen was rested on the spot, and the city fire provided sufficient lighting, but the supplies needed by everyone were either looted by the Normans or burned to ashes in the flames.

The horses ate the scattered wheat stalks, and then ate the reeds farther away. The soldiers had no choice but to sit down. They ran in a hurry without even having cooking utensils. When they returned to Bremen, the supplies were in vain. They could only take out a small amount of raw rye from their cloth pockets and chew them like horses to satisfy their hunger. Even if you do this, it is easy to make your stomach.

During this night, many soldiers slumbered on the hot ground. Many people can't sleep at all and barely wake up until dawn.

On a new day, the fire in Bremen is still going on. It looks more like a fire-breathing dragon from the area. Indeed, some soldiers looked at the fire whirlwind that suddenly rose and screamed "", then stunned and lay down again.

The earl is expecting a rain to end this **** flame, but today's weather is clear.

"Can't do this for cowards anymore! I must have revenge!"

He learned from the pain, endured the pain of stretching his legs before, stood up with the iron sword, and called all the soldiers to stand.

He gave a generous speech in front of the tired and indignant soldiers, and insulted the Norman in vulgar language.

A very important strategic judgement was mentioned: "The Normans have set fire recently. I dare say they haven't left for too long. They must have looted a lot of property, and it may take a lot of time to move it away by boat. Now we get We have a good opportunity to catch up with them and make a brave assault, and we must not let these barbarians escape."

Must be assault! Must fight! As for the arrangements after the war, no one cares.

Or is it that the mourning soldier will win? The morale of the cavalry, agitated by anger, was high.

Although the earl was dominated by revenge, he still clearly understood that he didn't have much capital on hand. The cavalry has a strong combat power but requires a lot of supplies to maintain. In particular, to maintain the combat effectiveness of the horses, a large amount of oats and rye must be fed. Simply relying on grazing on the spot cannot maintain the efficient combat of the horses. In the use of cavalry, the Frankish nobles had a set of methods, so the earl was still unwilling to squeeze horsepower frantically.

Earl Hunter knew he was powerless to fight the attackers, so he decided to bypass the burning city and advance downstream along the river. In this way, the horses can eat rushes and reeds all the way, and barely maintain combat effectiveness. As for the soldiers, naturally they must rely on willpower to endure.

In the end, he provided the cavalry with an alternative direction. The so-called once rushed, the whole team went directly to the territory of the Earl of Flanders, reported the bad news to him, and also rented a batch of food for emergency. He really can't spend money to buy at the moment, but he can cut off part of his territory as a price.

On the other hand, the flames of Bremen glowed the night sky red, and the Ross coalition soldiers who were resting on the shore made jokes about it.

Those cooks have cooked a large amount of seized rye, but they were just cooked, and people who were forced to dig from the urn into a bowl, sprinkle a handful of salt and chew it.

The cook ladies are also a mixed bag. What is the price of being able to eat salt in the barbarian camp?

No, the warriors on Saaremaa Island have already rushed forward, took the group of cook girls away, and pressed them to the ground just to be happy.

Arik and the other warriors with the formation of Ross disdain to have a relationship with this group of women that needs to be held accountable afterwards, and the biggest reason is in fact faith. Perhaps the people of Saaremaa will not care at all.

The coalition forces continued to camp on the river beach where they had stayed. They can of course continue to withdraw, but the coalition forces need a longer period of time to rest.

A great victory, a large Frankish city was given the "fire torture", and it was the first time that even Ross made such a loud noise. Seven hundred warriors defeated a city ten times their own population, and it made sense for the brothers to suddenly have an attitude of contempt for the Franks.

In a short period of time, large-scale transport of trophies, all fighters need a longer period of rest.

Maybe this beach is not safe, but there is no wider area than this beach. More than 700 people camped on the river beach. A few days ago, the two teams met here and almost misunderstood a fight. Now, the two sides are already comrades in the fight.

Arik, who was lying on his side by the bonfire, looked lazy. He ridiculed as he pleased: "Don’t be Danes in the future! You will be completely cut off from the Danish king. You come to Ross and we will be brothers. Your tribe will be my tribe, in the future. Let's go to war together and eat meat together. Wouldn't we be happy."

Ragner also talked on his side: "As long as your brother agrees, of course I will support it."

"Of course he supports it. He doesn't want to fight the Danes long ago. If there is a chance to do business in peace, who wants to fight. He can even enshrine you as a war chief, and your people form a flag team. If there is a big future In a large-scale battle, your team will participate in the battle together, and you will always get a lot of trophies after the battle..."

At this moment Arik really doesn't treat Ragnar as an outsider, and Ragnar is just as happy about it. Both of them are the most traditional Viking men, and they are the most loyal by nature.

After two men of the same age talked about the war, they couldn't help talking about women and even children.

Two boys were carried by Ragnar to the campfire. One had just been able to walk, but the other was severely disabled.

Look at the boy's legs. They are weak and not as thin as his arms.

Arik was taken aback, because in the traditional life, disabled children have no right to survive. A boy with atrophied legs will be killed when he discovers the situation.

"What's going on? He..." Arik simply shut up, considering that he would say something offensive next.

"Are you surprised?" Ragnar smiled: "It doesn't matter, you let him speak for yourself. Ivar, you speak for yourself."

Ival is almost six years old, so he can speak no problem.

The boy said with a little bit of milk: "Odin chose me to keep me alive. I don't know what Odin has to do with me. I can't walk, my arms and brain are normal. I am. It’s just that I can’t walk."

The more Ivar emphasized something, the more he felt inferior to him. Indeed, a fighter with a broken arm can still fight with one arm. How to fight with weak legs?

These words are more than deja vu? ! Arik sat up straight in surprise, and smiled again: "Is it really a destiny? My brother, Prince Rurik of Rose, is also the man chosen by Odin. We are rich and strong because of his achievements."

"It's so?!" Ragnar also sat upright, holding the young Ivar in his arms.

"You must reach Rose, Ivar is destined to be extraordinary if he has the help of God."

"It's a good thing. When do you decide to leave?"

"Stay here for two more days. Brothers should also have a rest." Arik said casually, and Ragnar acquiesced if he didn't think it was wrong.

The two chatted a lot, and then Blue Fox and Spuyute joined in. Gathering with each other, as soon as the information we know was collected and exchanged, a lot of unknown information was also exploded.

The Ross learned that the Danes are essentially a mess. The only leader that all Danes admire is Godfrey, who has passed away 30 years. Other successors are not convinced, especially the current Danish king Horik is even more disheartened. The lord left Denmark spontaneously, so that the Bergen Fjord and Oslo Fjord in Norway, and the Danish immigrants in the Götaland region in southern Scandinavia rapidly expanded.

Ragnar also learned that the main leader of Rose's royal pirates was Spuyute sitting here, and the order to "annihilate the ship encountered" was issued by Prince Rose, and everything was venting anger. But the prince was very clever. Since learning about the Franks behind the scenes, his strategy was instantly adjusted to attack Frank.

All of you sitting here are all Viking madmen, who have had extraordinary achievements, and now everyone has joined forces to burn the city of Bremen.

Their rest and recuperation continued. On this beach, everyone quickly entered a peaceful and stable life, holding a huge amount of wheat in their hands, and said that they had no sense of security.

But Arik was not so arrogant that he didn't even arrange the sentry.

Rurik did not design a "Military Code" for the Principality, but the army is actively summing up its past successes and failures. The Russian army will always be aware of the enemy's sneak attack, so it is extremely important to set up a sentry.

The five sentry groups lie in ambush in the forest. Of course, they are not hiding in dead branches and fallen leaves, but relying on the big trees to rest and sense the vibrations around them.

The earth's low vibrations suddenly appeared. A sentinel pressed his ear to the tree trunk and gradually felt that the source of the vibration was approaching.

With a keen sense of the battlefield, the sentry team ran out of the woods one after another. They looked at each other and instantly concluded that it was an imminent danger.

They screamed and ran, toward the river beach camp.

The people who were waiting for the meal noticed the rushing sentry. At first, everyone was in a trance, but as a dark shadow emerged from the forest, those who were in a trance became vigilant.

"Damn it! It's a cavalry! Damn chaser, how did they find us?!" Ragnar scolded himself, then looked at Arik's reaction.

There were more and more cavalry. From the standpoint of the cavalry, Earl Hunter was also very surprised: "Normans, you hide here, the hateful demon, it made me look for hardship. You... so many people?! Those... are actually big ships?!" I looked at the flag hung on the mast of the big ship and immediately understood that this was the Ross army.

Hunter finally saw the Ross people's fleet. Although very unbelievable, what the envoy named Joseph Blue Fox said was true.

Is this enough to make the proud Frankish cavalry fear?

Hunter called for the cavalry to assemble in Frankish language, and the cavalry rushed out of the woods to line up. In the forest, the five-meter-long spear can't be stretched out. In order to avoid accidental injury, each rider kept a distance, and the rider held the front part of the spear, and most of the spear's wooden rod was dragged behind.

The Frankish cavalry are regaining their inherent heroic posture, and the woods of spears are really terrifying.

Ragnar's army was afraid of these **** cavalry, and he didn't dare to show timidity in front of Ross' allies, so he greeted the women and children to withdraw to the boat, and the men immediately formed a shield wall, standing on the river with the honour of men and opposing the enemy.

But he watched the Ross people only build a thin shield wall. More people are actually climbing the rope ladder to get on the boat? !

At this scene, Arik yelled: "Arik, are you Russ going to retreat? If you retreat, we will follow too?!"

Arik immediately explained: "Who said we retreat?! Don't get me wrong! Keep the line up, we have to adjust the heavy weapons, and kill all the **** cavalry! Do you understand? Kill these cavalry!"

Indeed, when the Frankish cavalry were busy arranging the forcibly loosened ranks in the forest into a wall, the Ross Alliance also had a valuable window of combat readiness.

If you fight this group of cavalry with infantry, if you do so, the Ross Allied forces will even be annihilated. Because the Frankish cavalry generally restrained the cavalry from advancing on the wall due to the relative lack of horses, but when the cavalry approached the array, they used super-strong spears to stab the enemy in the array. In a sense, this style of play is a phalanx of spears versus a phalanx of swords and shields, but the cavalry comes fast and runs fast, and the flexible stab is actually a classic Frank tactic.

So in Hunter's opinion, the Normans finally stopped fleeing and dared to stand upright in line to fight against themselves. They are so stupid...

Let’s look at the fleet in a long snake formation. All the side-side torsion slingshots are moved to the starboard side of the enemy. As a result, the fleet has assembled as many as 80 torsion slingshots. It is necessary to control such multiple weapons. Naturally, a lot of manpower is required.

To deal with cavalry, heavy weapons are mostly a one-shot deal. The key lies in the first battle!

Torsion slingshots have been installed with cast iron bullets to deal with enemies at medium and close ranges. They are indeed deadly weapons that can break armor.

The crossbows are also accumulating power, and arrows are inserted one after another, waiting to be used in line.

As for the fifty Finnish archers, all stood on the ship under the leadership of Jevlo and seized the commanding heights The Russ reacted quite quickly. Hunter, who was the other party, noticed this situation. He had a foreboding of a crisis, but didn't know what it meant, so he could only order his men to line up as quickly as possible, and then destroy the Norman infantry shield wall and achieve the chaos that the cavalry wanted.

But the Ruths prepared the enemy first, so it was not wasting the heavy weapons on standby.

Hunter had no intention to wait any longer. He raised his iron sword and suddenly ordered: "Cavalry! Spear forward! Kill the Norman! àl\'attaque!"

The cavalry charged! A super-long riding spear, the sharp and shining spearheads move forward in unison. The horses and men have heavy cavalry with leather armor and mail in front, and light cavalry without any armor in the back. Three hundred cavalry spears aimed at the Ross Allied forces, staged a scene where the cavalry corps attacked the Navy and the Marine Corps.

When a wall rushed, Ragnar was not afraid of being fake. In order to honor him, he had to stand by the river. Moreover, he and his people had no way to go back, because behind the wall was a fleet like a wall.

Suddenly, there was a loud roar: "Hjutraaaaah!"

It's Arik, he ordered!

All the torsion slingshots fired at the same time, this is a volley of fire!
