Chapter 193 - Lure the enemy
It turns out that Noah's Ark was a bit aimed at him.
Qianyu, who was hiding on the edge of the battlefield, thought so when he was found by British soldiers for the fourth time.
I'm obviously at the edge of the battlefield, why are so many people looking for me?
Qianyu slapped the British soldier's weak ribs with his sword, causing him to arch up, and then pierced the British soldier's abdomen with his sword.
Harold II's army consisted of a small number of guards and a large number of militia. Among them, the guards were well-equipped troops, but the equipment of the militia was very crude.
For example, people with armor would not be affected at all by Qian Yu's method of slapping with light weapons, but militiamen without armor could only resist the attack and grimace in pain.
As for why Qianyu used his sword to strike instead of slashing... it was entirely because the Wuhen Umbrella was in the form of a short stick during close combat, so he just used it smoothly - in the normal world, only those who could resist this move
Sufficiently fluffy clothing or professional body armor.
However, there were too many people... Qianyu 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 enemy's loss of combat effectiveness to complete the harvest.
Facing a rookie of this level, Qianyu can safely complete the killing.
However, the absolute crushing of one point cannot save the overall defeat.
Although the other Viking soldiers were not attacked by multiple enemies, they were besieged by two or three soldiers. Even though they were militiamen, they still had attack capabilities that were not inferior to those of elite soldiers (of course, the defensive capabilities were higher).
much different)
The Viking soldiers who were originally near Qianyu had fallen down one by one.
Oops, retreat first...or you will die!
At this moment, the movement behind him attracted Qianyu's attention - a steel-like shield wall had stood on a high ground behind him, and a flag with a blue border and a white background, embroidered with a blue bird, was standing on the shield wall.
Flying behind the wall. (This is the Viking "Earth Destroyer" battle flag)
The Vikings' military literacy and Harald III's experience allowed them to successfully regroup after suffering the initial blow and prepare to face Harold's army from afar. (Of course, this is mainly due to the brave champion.
The Viking warriors of the three armies have won 40 single challenges in a row.)
Qianyu quickly retreated towards the shield wall and circled behind the shield wall from the side - his shield was knocked into the water by the opponent's stick due to a mistake in a previous block, so it was impossible to participate in the shield formation.
If Qianyu were to judge, he believed that Harold's army would be relatively advantageous in a short period of time due to the Vikings' lack of armor. But after fighting for a period of time, Harold's army came here through a rapid march.
You will fall into a dilemma of insufficient physical strength.
However, now, the Anglo-Saxon Guards are so well-armed that Qianyu's scalp is numb.
Whether it is sophisticated long swords, strong shields or extensive chain mail, the armed forces of the Guards are no less than those of Qian Yu... Although these Guards seem to only account for a small part of the entire British army,
But it is 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 cavalry wearing chain mail left the team and rode towards the Viking battle formation.
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 cavalry charges.
A cavalryman left the formation of more than twenty other cavalrymen and came to the front of the Viking soldiers' formation.
"Hoo!" A loud Viking war cry came from the Viking soldiers directly in front of the cavalry - more soldiers joined in the second war cry, and more soldiers joined in the third war cry.
The cavalryman controlled the horse under his crotch with all his strength, and tilted his head to show his disdain for the Viking war 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 one-third of the kingdom!"
Tostig? Qianyu frowned - Tostig was Harold's brother. He was exiled by Harold because of a quarrel and carried out several failed uprisings.
Is this a plan to persuade Tostig to surrender before the battle?
"Then my brother, what does the King of Norway get?" shouted a man dressed as an Anglo-Saxon guard under the flag.
"Ah, Harald?" the cavalryman said with a hint of mockery. "Since he is taller than the average person, I can generously give him a piece of land seven feet square - I don't mind if it's a little bigger!"
After saying that, he returned to the British formation surrounded by other cavalry.
A few minutes later, the attack of British soldiers began, and a group of British soldiers began to attack the shield wall - all militiamen without chainmail.
Qianyu felt that the threat of this charge was not great - although the British army did still have sufficient physical strength in a short period of time, it did not mean that they could fight against the shield wall while attacking from above, not to mention...
A large number of arrows were projected from behind the shield wall into the charging British soldiers. When the British soldiers rushed to the shield wall, they were not equipped to resist the shield in terms of morale, physical strength, numbers or armament.
The ability of the wall.
After these militiamen allowed individual sub-platoon soldiers of the Viking shield wall to reach the first row, they disappeared from the British command sequence by retreating or being killed.
Although recruiting soldiers was indeed a very high-end practice in this era, Qianyu still frowned.
There is a story in the Far East with anti-war sentiments: "The poor bones by the Wuding River are like those in a spring girl's dream." Those who died in front of the shield wall were not only Harold's people, but also his wife's husband.
The father of the child, the child of the old man.
The British army quickly launched a second attack, and the militiamen were completely defenseless.
Qianyu's brows furrowed - is he planning to use his life to carry out a futile attack? If Harold thought that such an attack could break through the shield wall, he would be too naive...
At the same time as the militiamen attacked, the British army also began to advance forward. However, the impact of the militiamen was very poor. Although they still maintained considerable strength when they approached the shield wall, they were more powerful than the first attack before.
It was already defeated.
Harold II is in trouble... The gloating in Qianyu's eyes is even worse.
In some cases, rout is more troublesome than death - after all, rout may break up the formation of the troops, but private individuals will never take this risk.
"Charge!" A majestic voice came out from under the battle flag. A man wearing equipment no less powerful than the previous strong officer swung his sword and rushed out of the shield wall to make way for him, roaring. "All the troops, charge with me!
"
It seems that that should be Harald III. He is the only one here who has the authority to order the troops to abandon the favorable situation on the high ground and charge towards the opponent.
However, after Qianyu charged with the Viking soldiers who had lifted the shield formation, the situation suddenly changed.
The main force of the British army was divided into three parts, allowing two retreat roads for the defeated troops, and then rushed towards the Viking soldiers who had abandoned their shield formation with a full-scale assault. After the defeated troops passed through the two passages, they immediately
At the end of the main force of the British army, he participated in the charge.
The dark British soldiers immediately rushed forward and crashed into the Viking legion.
