The next day, Oran went on a military inspection. Katana is good at riding and has a natural interest in cavalry.
With the strength of one county, he had previously raised more than 60 riders, which was a heavy burden. But it also allowed the nobles in the territory and his sons to control the horses very smoothly.
Catana makes son
"Shrike", as the commander, began the drill. With a precious ring and a drink, Olan became a positive figure in Shrike's heart.
With a whoosh, the boy got on the horse and maintained his balance with a simple swing of his body. He has been training since he was six years old and is very familiar with various fighting skills.
In addition to martial arts, he also knows reading, writing and etiquette. Then an older knight confronted him, leading a mixed team of riders and infantry, and the two sides formed a formation.
"This young man is really outstanding. At high speed, with a slight pull on the reins and a swing of the spurs, the horse slows down instantly, then turns to accelerate. Oran praised it.
"Listen to my orders!" Shrike roared at the top of his voice, spitting.
"It's a shield wall formation." Oran looked at the changes on both sides. The so-called shield wall formation is a dense formation of soldiers to block the opponent, with the knight leader commanding from the front.
Then the young man pulled the riders out from the shield wall and turned diagonally with the riders. With a high degree of coordination and discipline, he can rush in front of opposing opponents in an instant.
A flaw came out. The victory was decided! Oran clapped his hands. After stabilizing the excited horse, Shrike pulled off his helmet and shook off his sweat.
Riding his horse, he came to Oran and said,
"If the kingdom can hold a jousting contest, I will win first place!" Under Katana's cultivation, Shrike's military qualities are very excellent.
Master most of the cavalry formations of this era. It is even possible for one person to drive two horses, run at high speed, and then switch to another horse.
Oran once thought about using organized cavalry tactics to fight the Vikings, but later found that it was not practical. The Vikings were good at fighting on ships, and when they got out of the sea, they rushed at unimaginable terrifying speeds.
Very knowledgeable about foot combat conflicts. Light axes, bucklers, swords and spears were in their hands like extensions of their hands.
Just because the Vikings can fight doesn't mean they have to fight you to the death. Several sweeps, several sweeps around the Repton area, they avoided the riders, kept harassing them and retreated, and even used fire attacks.
After watching the equestrian performance, there was the land combat and combat performance. Popular among Katana collars is the technique of using a one-handed sword with a shield.
Similar to the Vikings.
"Lord Ladd, I request to fight with you." Shrike was not satisfied yet. He wanted to show the White Eagle his sword skills.
In terms of riding, you can rely on practicing and utilizing the horse's mobility, while in swordsmanship, you focus on strength and personal qualities.
Ladd, the fierce warrior, felt that he would not lose to a young boy, but he also felt that it would be embarrassing to lose, and it was natural to win, so he did not want to do such a thing.
"Let me try." Oran suddenly started, looking at Katana.
"Your Mightiness!"
"It doesn't matter, it's just practice with the wooden sword, as long as you wear protective gear. I have always wanted to compete with the best sheriff in the kingdom." Oran wanted to see Katana's reaction.
Katana put on protective gear at Olan's request. As a warrior, once a sword is in his hand, even if it is just a wooden sword, his aura will be completely different.
Oran stared at Katana, and when he was deciding whether to use the upper or middle section, he saw his opponent approaching with a smile on his face.
Over the past year or so, Olan's body has been stimulated by war to unleash its potential. He has also grown a lot taller, now estimated to be 1.84 meters.
But facing Katana, who is obviously a head taller, is still very stressful. Olan couldn't help it anymore and took action first.
The wooden sword collided, and the force of the shock made Olan's mouth hurt. Concerned about the heavily guarded gun-wielding riders on the sidelines of Oran, Catana did not attack with all his strength.
He perfectly coordinated his body movements, and with his tall body, he could always use his shield to deflect Orlan's attacks.
All the killing swords were empty or fell into the opponent's defensive moves. Uncomfortable! Olan also had a dagger on his waist, and he was going to use long and short stabbing techniques.
This is what Kunsang taught himself. After a series of mid-section slashes, Olan endured the risk and stabbed forward fiercely.
His body has recovered seven or eight points since the Battle of Repton. But all his power was resolved faster by Katana.
Katana swept his shield and hit Oran's arm directly, without even having time to draw out the dagger.
Katana put the wooden sword against Oran's waist. Kunsang watched the whole process and wished he could recover from his injury and replace Olan.
This kind of swordsmanship is really powerful. It is the swordsmanship that I need to fight against the Vikings. Use riders to convey information, chase the enemy, update armor, use light infantry with archers to counterattack and defend, plus layers of fortresses, I think you can withstand the Vikings.
"I lost." Oran gave up his wooden sword and announced Katana's victory with a thud on the ground. Finally, Oran also watched their infantry combat spear technique, which is also a very common infantry training tactical skill.
Oran's men also went up to challenge and learn. Share with each other the spear-holding postures, various slashing angles, and how to dodge.
During his few days in Manchester, Oran also found out about an Irish smuggling route. This route can lead directly to southern Ireland, Cornwall, and even beyond the Frankish Brittania region.
This route does not need to pass through Mercia and Wessex in the south. If it can be opened up, Oran will be able to quickly obtain the materials and specialties of these places in the future, as well as contact the lords.
Even doing business is also about expanding influence. The North Sea Crusaders talked a lot, but even England itself was not unified.
A strong ally is needed to join in to share some of the pressure on the defense line. The princes of the North Sea were afraid of being suppressed by the Vikings, and they were afraid in their hearts.
But if the alliance is strong enough, then confidence will flip. In Oran's heart, the Frankish princes are the best helpers.
After Oran leaves Manchester, Oran heads to
"Aldborough". This was the former king's territory, and later the little fat man extended his father's will as the county chief.
There are many royal families from the Yuanzhi here. The imprint left by the Norn family can be seen everywhere. Although these people live the same life as ordinary people, they are also potential threats.
Oran held a circuit court in this place and used severe methods to execute all the criminals in the prison!
This territory was divided into three parts, with Olan getting the middle and Gliese and Katana taking the left and right. He already has two county chiefs to suppress the dissatisfied people in this territory, and for the rest, Oran doesn't need to keep too many people.
After deploying only thirty hospital soldiers, plus the local garrison, it was transferred back to Yorkshire. Return to King's Landing from Yorkshire.
As a result, Oran visited the newly conquered territory and made a show of authority to quickly stabilize the situation.
On his way back from Yorkshire, there was a woman in his car. Gliese's sister Arion. Oran was not going to give up on this woman who was pretending to be crazy and acting stupid.
She is already his concubine. With her here, I have an extra layer of connection with Yorkshire. Maybe if Gliese had an accident one day, this woman could be used to get it.
"claim". There is no disadvantage in keeping it.
"Where are you taking me?"
"King is coming."
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Um."
"I heard that you have many women. You are such a heartless man."
"I'm very gentle, but I hate women talking too much. I won't let you speak in the future. It's better to hold back. You are goods. Your brother uses you to cooperate with me, increase his authority, and take back the lost land. He wants to flatter me. , how useful are you? If you recover, I might favor you when I get drunk one day. If you are dissatisfied with life, you can jump off the carriage. If you hate seeing people, I will give you a room. The convent, let you be the abbess and accompany the Lord for the rest of his life." Arion, who was angered by Oran, said nothing and then opened the car curtain.
When the wheels quickly scraped long marks on the ground, she also fell to the ground, with bruises all over her body.
"Take her back, lock her in a monastery, purify the demons in her body, and she will become normal. The convoy restarts, and when it returns to King's Landing, there are new problems. Someone wants to rescue King Ella!
