Haman had received the Clyde signal beforehand.
Therefore, there were no surprises in the "first half" of this battle. He led his men to continue to retreat and took the initiative to hand over the village fort.
But this time, he did not set fire to destroy it and prevent Oran from retreating without entering.
Olan, who entered it, had already split the team into several parts in advance.
Ghazi, Ladd, Nandin, Kunsang, Armand, Delim, Tuman.
Among the Seven Knights of the Hospitallers who were immediately canonized, Ghazi was betrayed by Oran to Haman and died in battle.
Ladd, who was not present, became the chief knight, and also awarded two seats to Laideng and Marcus.
A few days ago, Oran also installed three types of "virtue epaulettes."
A picture of two swords guarding the lord's crown. This is "loyalty". It can be awarded to those who have saved the life of the lord or are loyal protectors. It is the highest level.
Except for Delim, all his direct subordinates will receive this medal. After the war, they will be able to obtain the epaulette pattern made by the craftsman in the collar.
Delim is the second-class "valor" medal, and the shoulder strap is "Double Swords Guarding Shield".
Marcus and Clayton, who had just entered, received the "Two Swords Guarding the Scales", a medal of "Justice" that symbolized fairness.
Clayton led the Earl's tribe, a total of sixty men, followed by Delim's forty men and Armand's sixty men.
Among them, Armand was also assigned to twelve heavy riders and ten light riders.
Oran asked the craftsmen to improve the "barrel helmet" and "iris shield", and Armand got six of them and twenty-six of them.
This kind of helmet and shield were obtained by Oran based on his past life memories and discussions with craftsmen.
Oran did not use it in the previous village and fort conflicts, but this time it appears for the first time.
Nanding and Kunsang controlled the remaining riders to fight against each other. This was the core force of Oran, the Sons Team. Oran was equipped with nineteen barrel helmets and fifty-two iris shields, with a total of eighteen light and heavy riders. .
In addition, Olan also gave Kunsang a forty spearman infantry team to protect these knights.
A third of these men held soft leather armor.
Tuman's crossbowmen team was assigned to the surroundings of the village and fort.
And use things to hide.
They also brought several ballista launchers to attack Mrs. Rowling's long-range weapons.
This village fort is close to the iron-producing mountainous area to the north. Although the number of mines later became smaller and smaller, the iron-making equipment was basically preserved.
There are also several large furnaces in villages and towns.
In the past few times, anything related to God, whether it was a wooden room or a church, would be engulfed in flames.
Oran looked at this intact church that could accommodate fifty people worshiping at the same time, and had an idea in his mind.
Sally followed him, and wherever Olan went, women were held hostage by the soldiers.
"If you win the moment, I will let you and Clayton become husband and wife."
Sally lowered her head so that Oran could see the disgust in her eyes.
"A great and sacred story will happen between you and Clayton." After Oran said these puzzling words, he left the church.
During the last battle, Oran's men could not sleep. On the other side, Haman and several Viking lords were also hiding by a forest five miles away from the village fortress, not even daring to raise a bonfire. too much.
"In a moment, that white eagle will be torn apart by us."
Three Viking leaders gathered around Haman.
The young Glock, the corrupt Abu, and the pony-tailed Gomon.
Gemeng has tail hair like a horse.
He was the re-selected leader from the Golden Teeth Bardo settlement, but now he had to look at the expressions of others.
For this battle, Haman recruited people from within his territory and gathered more than 200 people, including many strong adult women and teenagers.
His numbers are the same as Oran's, or even more, and his morale is about the same. Except for slightly inferior equipment and a different distribution of troops.
"After this battle is over, the entire Yewei County and Durham County will become our hunting grounds. Those English elders will be your servants from now on. Even the newborn children will be assigned a slave."
Everyone did not shout for the god Odin and kept their excitement in their hearts.
"I will fill your finger with rings," a Viking man said to his shieldmaiden wife.
The woman looked at her rough fingers, then embraced and kissed the man, looking at others as if they were nothing.
"I'm going to get a dozen cows and enclose a large piece of land. From now on, our children will no longer have to suffer for food." An old warrior joined the war with his son, grandson, and three generations of his family.
His eyes radiated light. For many years, he was unable to go to the battlefield due to a back injury.
He longs to fight, longs to go to the Hall of Valor, and longs to conquer these Englishmen at will.
"I want to make many English girls pregnant with my seed!" he suddenly shouted.
"Old man, are you okay?" the young man on the side smiled, and then touched his father's sword, "I just want to change it to a sword that is suitable for my hand, and add a complete set of knight's equipment."
"Everyone can get at least twenty acres of land, kill one person, and then add more." When Haman finished speaking, everyone bowed deeply to him.
As long as he wins this battle, his rule will be rock solid.
In addition, he laid an ambush at the water intake outside the lord's hall of the village castle in advance, and hid sixteen people.
This water intake has been abandoned in advance. If the soil above is not dug out, there will be no spacious passage for people to enter.
They are all selected by Haman, the strongest Viking warriors, and they carry poison and water bags.
Their bodies have become resistant to this medicine. Taking a little and adding water will not cause confusion. On the contrary, they can improve their endurance and stay in the harsh cave entrance for a day.
According to the agreement between Sally and Haman, Sally will be responsible for seducing Oran and will definitely rest in the Lord's Hall.
At the same time, around four o'clock in the morning, Clayton's men would begin to rebel and counterattack.
After two o'clock that night, Olan sat quietly in the hall, looking at the next room.
The Vikings will come out of the room when they hear the sound of fighting.
Oran was surrounded by crossbowmen, aiming at the room.
Since his reflexes improved, Oran's heart has become more eager to fight.
The scenes of Haman killing his own people kept reappearing.
This made him feel a little irritable.
Next to him stood "Sales".
The dark hall was not lit.
Previously, Oran asked him to contact Shi Meng and the Royal Court of Ella, and proposed that Shi Meng be baptized. The first stage has been completed.
However, Shi Meng did not take people there rashly. Instead, he asked his subordinates to be baptized on his behalf, and also claimed three manors.
Sals exhausted his words and persuaded King Ella to give up his favor first, and finally made Shi Meng extremely confident. The king and the knights were afraid of him, and as long as he didn't mess around, they would let him take whatever he wanted.
So the time for the second mass baptism was agreed upon.
He will attend with his wife.
After completing these things, Sals returned to Oran immediately.
He couldn't miss this good thing of annihilating the Vikings, and within a few hours, he fully understood Oran and Sally's plan.
"Tell me, how should I repay Haman for his behavior in harming my people? Release these people and kill them with swords?"
After Oran finished speaking, Sals immediately objected, "These barbarians, if we give them a chance to fight with swords, they will think they can go to 'Valhalla', why should we give them a dream?"
"so?"
"Your Excellency, these people should die without knowing how. This is the most beautiful way to die."
Then Sals walked out of the house and after giving a few instructions, several soldiers brought a large cart of soil and dumped it directly on the well at the water intake.
There is a door that stretches inward under the well. There is not much soil on it. When the inner door is opened, the soil will fall inward, but there is still enough space to escape.
In order to allow the Tibetans to breathe easily, Haman even widened the floor once before leaving and asked all sixteen people to hide in the exit (room). He dug several ventilation holes in the floor and used long and pointed wooden bamboo to support it. Send the air down the secret passage.
And turn the position of the bed to cover it.
If it succeeds, it will be like when Marcus hid under the castle lord's bed and suddenly came out to threaten Oran.
Catch people off guard.
Outside the house, Sals finally had five loads of dirt and gravel dumped out, covering the entire water intake outlet. Even if the Vikings opened the door from the inside, it would be difficult to push aside these obstacles and climb out. ground.
At the same time as he ordered, Sals asked someone to fetch kerosene.
After entering the hall, he smiled and said, "Purify it, Your Excellency. This village castle is dilapidated and is no longer needed. Your Sea Town and King's Landing have already moved a large number of people. After this battle, these ancient strongholds can be reset and made A more reasonable mix.”
There is some truth to this. With the population of these villages and castles almost completely gone, there is no need to allocate so many resources to guard them.
Then Sals asked people to pour kerosene on the entire room and put in a lot of incompletely burned wood and charcoal.
There was a lot of movement. People under the house heard the footsteps and became nervous, thinking that it was about to start.
But then there was no sound, and then a lot of smoke came in from these vents. They immediately broke open and climbed to the ground, but the windows in the entire room were sealed, and the door to the outside was sealed and even burned to the point of deformation. .
He couldn't be shaken even by cutting with axes and swords. The whole room was getting hotter and hotter. More than a dozen people yelled wildly, and the sound came from the lord's house.
At this time, Olan had returned to the opposite room and was waiting, with Sally accompanying him.
Hearing a faint cry for help, she got up and walked away, but did not go out. Through the window, she saw, illuminated by the moonlight and flames, that the two-and-a-half-story lord's hall opposite was swallowed up by a fire snake.
Sals didn't give these sixteen Viking warriors a chance to fight.
The soldiers were horrified and wanted to go back along the original passage, but they crawled back to the exit and just pulled the inner door, countless sand poured down and sealed the entire passage.
In a very short period of time, sixteen people showed fear on their faces, and died in the tunnel as their breath was taken away.
Oran sat quietly, waiting for the fire to increase in intensity and the cry for help to cease. Then he called a scout and said, "Notify Clayton, tell him to prepare for action."
Sally's heart was beating wildly. At this moment, she no longer knew who she wanted to win.
When Clayton's men received the scouting order, they sent someone to notify Haman, and then led the people to move in the night.
Haman also led others to follow him, moving forward slowly.
The time it took for both parties to take action was almost as expected.
This is the darkest hour, but the dawn will come.
Haman waited for Clayton to rush in first, waiting for the opportunity to make a move.
He was sure that Sally and Clayton had not deceived him, and the chaotic screams coming from them...
"Olan's been caught!"
The voice emerged from Clyden's ranks, followed by various voices.
"We are victorious!"
"Let go of Mr. Oran!"
The most resonant sentence is, "Put down your weapons, or your lord will be killed."
"The hunt begins."
A few hundred meters away, Haman took a bite of Mogu and took the "last sip of wine" in his life.
He took the lead, and hundreds of people behind him took up swords and axes. Under the moonlight, they wanted to write new legends of military exploits.
But after rushing in, hundreds of people scattered around the village castle hall, but they didn't see what they wanted.
Clayton caught up to the front, but Olan was nowhere to be seen.
Only the lord's mansion, which has not yet been burned, emits endless heat.
"Where are the people?" Haman looked around and held the sword.
Snapped!
The entire bottom pillar of the house was burned out, and the two floors were stacked on top of each other.
Crossbowmen and projectile machine operators had been planted in the surrounding huts, aiming at Haman and launching the first wave of secret attacks.
stop-
The Vikings who were the first to rush in became the target of these long-range weapons. They couldn't even see clearly. Many of them fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.
"ah!"
The old warrior who just thought about the farm, the land, the female slaves, and even the Hall of Valor was stabbed by a cold arrow in the left side of his head, fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and died.
The arrows roared, some passed through the body directly, and some hit the armor, making a metallic impact sound.
The Vikings desperately picked up their round shields and formed a shield formation.
But after doing this, the crossbowmen ignited the rockets slowly and continued to attack.
"Haman, you have harmed us!"
In the shield formation, some Vikings were afraid and left the team directly.
"Send them home!"
At this time, Clayton also turned around, and White Eagle soldiers appeared from every corner.
They shouted, but when the Vikings tried to rush over, some people suddenly collapsed to the ground because the ground was full of iron spikes.
If you step on it accidentally, the whole leg will be scrapped.
Even if they can rush over, the White Eagle soldiers who are waiting for work have many means to stop these chaotic soldiers at the last moment.
Unable to see how many houses there were traps around, Haman asked everyone to calm down and work together to escape from here.
At this time, a torch suddenly illuminated a sentry tower outside the city battle center, revealing a Knights Hospitaller flag and a White Eagle flag.
Oran was on the ten-meter-high sentry tower, watching the ants slaughtering, screaming and causing chaos below.
Beside him stood Sals, Titan, and Sally.
Titan held Sally up with his sword to prevent her from making any moves.
Sally was stunned!
Then Sals shouted, "Only Your Excellency Oran can lead us to glory!"
Orlan raised his hands and shouted, with a smile on his face, "Ben Bo was born to rule. He who lays down his arms will be forgiven."
"fuck your mother!"
Six throwing axes were thrown up from below, with only one in position, slowly grazing a few steps to Oran's left.
But there is no danger to him with improved reflexes.
When the ax flew into the air and fell, Oran shouted again, "Your Viking ancestors killed nine kings of England, and countless knights. Now you bear the death penalty for these sins!"
Haman, the first person to break in, suffered the worst death. Countless people were stabbed into hedgehogs, and their flesh and blood were cut off by infantry soldiers.
Most of the shield girls and young Viking warriors were in the second echelon. In addition to Haman, the other three Viking leaders were also outside.
They can neither advance nor retreat.
Soldiers led by other subordinates of Oran outside the village fortress surrounded him and killed him.
Dawn came earlier than usual on this day, and when it was close to five o'clock, most of the sky was bright.
The cavalry barrel helmet team led by Nanding came in handy and began to exert force on the outside.
"Listen to my order and charge!"
"The white eagle spreads its wings to protect the land and save the country."
The shield formed by the woman and the child was torn apart in an instant.
Nearly a thousand people launched the most brutal fighting inside and outside the village fortress.
The four people on the sentry tower saw all this from the perspective of bystanders.
"Every day, there are two most beautiful times, one is when the morning sun rises, and the other is when the sun sets. If you die at these two times, you will be missed forever." Sals looked at the rush and hummed the sari. Irish songs I heard.
Sally slumped down and didn't want to look anymore. Sals stopped immediately and said, "Madam, be happy, today is your wedding, and the dead soul will be with you."
Sally's face turned horribly pale, and she gritted her teeth and asked, "Is today the anniversary of my death?"
"You guessed it right, you must die."
"You promised Clayton!" Sally yelled at Oran and Sals, but there was nothing she could do. Her hands were tied with iron ropes and locked on the handles. Even if the Titan did not hold a sword against it, she could Difficulty moving.
Olan turned around, leaned over, and raised Shali Xiu's face with his palms, "Don't be afraid, he will die too, and you won't be alone."
Originally, Olan wanted to conquer Clayton, but he could betray himself for a woman and give him Sally in a few years, which was another hidden danger.
"All men are mortal, but I will live forever."
