In the dense forest, Isaac reached out and pushed aside the bushes. He carefully crawled on the ground and saw the situation on the battlefield through the gaps between the bushes.
At this moment, the Viking army and Oda's army were like two inextricably strangled pythons, twisting their bodies.
The Vikings' line showed gray and blue colors. Although they were not numerically superior, they were aggressive, constantly entangled and collided with each other, and almost broke through the Devon soldiers' line several times.
However, the Devon soldiers were like a flexible belt that kept holding on no matter how hard it was beaten.
The reason why the line of the Devon soldiers has not been broken is because Auda, riding a war horse, keeps appearing near any weak defense line.
"For the sake of the Lord and for the sake of honor, kill!"
He waved the sword in his hand and kept waving it above his head, and the rough voice echoed throughout the noisy battlefield.
The Devon soldiers near Oda were immediately boosted in morale, and their strength seemed to be restored again. They clenched the pointed shields in their hands, gripped the smooth spear shafts, and stabbed through the gaps in the shields with all their strength. go out.
The battle was extremely fierce, with ravens circling overhead.
"Raven, Raven, are you the messenger of the Vikings or the protector of St. Vincent?" Isaac looked up at the raven in the sky and murmured to himself.
At this time, the three hundred Devon soldiers who were hiding were anxious. Once the army on the front battlefield was defeated, these three hundred people would not be able to make a splash at all.
"When will we attack?" a knight asked Isaac.
In his opinion, this was the best time to attack. As long as he attacked the flanks of the Vikings, he could defeat them and achieve a decisive victory.
Isaac did not speak. He was concentrating on the changes on the battlefield and would not miss any small movement.
On the chaotic battlefield, many people could not even identify the flags clearly, but Isaac's eyes were clear. He soon discovered that Whoopi had cunningly hidden a spear unit behind the shield wall. If they moved forward recklessly, If they go there, they will definitely be blocked by this spear troop and destroyed.
"Wait patiently." Isaac said to the knight behind him in a deep voice.
The knight frowned, but Oda gave their command to Isaac, and he could only obey Isaac's orders.
At this moment,
On the battlefield, Oda suddenly felt that the pressure on the front line had doubled. The Vikings' offensive became more and more fierce. At one point, they broke through Devon's defense line and almost reached him.
"Steady, steady." Auda was riding a horse. He raised the sword in his hand and felt that he was in a vast ocean. The guards and attendants around him were protecting him with their swords.
The crowd moved him and his mount uncontrollably, and the heraldic flag representing the family was like a flat boat, bumping left and right.
Auda suddenly saw a strong Viking lord from a dozen steps away, carrying an ax and a sword, surrounded by a group of Viking warriors wearing fine chainmail, fighting towards him.
He raised the knife and used the sharp lower end of the ax to hook the shield of the Devon soldier. He pulled hard and overturned the shield. Then, he quickly stabbed the soldier's chest with his sword. He drew out the sword and chopped with the axe. Stab another soldier with a spear in the head.
The whole movement was done in one go, without any sloppiness.
"Whoopi." Auda tightened the reins in his hands, his brows furrowed, and he instinctively felt that the man coming towards him was none other than the leader of the Viking army, Nagla's son Whoopi.
And the other party seemed to have discovered Auda. He stood there with cold eyes full of provocation. He hooked a Devon soldier with an axe, knocked the dagger out of his hand, and then clamped the soldier's neck with his strong arms. And placed the sword on the soldier's neck artery.
A look of fear appeared on the face of the Devon soldier. He faced Aoda and kept opening and closing his mouth, clearly asking for help from Aoda.
But Oda was powerless and could only watch helplessly. Ubi showed a cruel smile and slowly cut the soldier's throat with the sword in his hand. The red blood flowed out from the soldier's throat like an unstoppable waterfall.
"Damn it." Seeing the poor soldier's body slipping feebly from Ubi's body, Auda only felt a sense of humiliation and helplessness welling up in his heart. For a moment, he even wanted to issue an order for the entire army to attack. , fight against this cruel Viking leader.
However, when his teeth touched his lips, the pain and the salty taste of blood made him regain his senses a little.
"Vikings will always try to provoke their opponents, because they know that angry and irrational enemies are the easiest to expose their weaknesses." Isaac's face appeared in front of Auda's eyes. Before the battle, this man The monk warned him as if prophetically.
Auda took a deep breath. The battlefield was filled with the smell of burnt and rust. He tried to stay calm and carefully thought about his next plan.
"Archers." Auda ordered loudly.
The messenger next to him immediately rushed to the archers in the rear, asking them to start shooting deadly arrows at the Vikings.
Most of Auda's archers come from hunters in the territory. They exchange military service with the county chief for the right to hunt in the territory on weekdays, so these people are very skilled in archery.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~."
From the rear of Oda's army, arrows continued to shoot into the Viking attacking troops, and one arrow even hit Ubi. '
"Kang."
A North warrior next to Ubbe immediately raised the thick buckler in his hand, and the arrow hit the edge of the buckler. The warrior turned the buckler in his hand and swung his ax to break the arrow. Only the tip of the arrow cluster was left on the shield.
Whoopi stood there, squinting his eyes. He did not expect that his opponent would be so difficult, and he did not order the entire army to attack out of anger.
"Tsk." Whoopi smacked his lips. He glanced at the Norse warrior holding the flag next to him, wondering whether to use the sacred crow flag.
"For the honor of the Lord." Oda's side shouted again and again. This group of Devonshire people seemed to have endless power and were firmly nailed to their position. When the Northmen pushed them away with their shields, When the time comes, they always stagger and get entangled again.
"Master Whoopi, what should we do?" the North warrior beside him asked Whoopi.
Ubi touched the braided beard on his chin, and seemed to have made up his mind. He would never allow any Unsan to face the Norse army without fear. This was his father's teaching, to use fear to rule Britain.
"Open the flag." Ubi's eyes flashed with determination, and he shook the sword in his hand to shake off the blood drops from the sword.
"Yes." The North warriors beside him suddenly became excited.
