The Devon soldiers, led by Auda, retreated all the way to the rocky beach, but they retreated without chaos.
"Deploy defense, deploy defense." Auda led the remaining troops to the rocky beach and immediately ordered his soldiers to find favorable terrain for defense.
They used the shields and spears in their hands to form a classical formation. At this time, Auda no longer retained it. He ordered the soldiers one by one to put their hands on the soldier in front to form a dense formation.
This formation is derived from the Roman turtle shield formation. Even if the soldiers in front fall, those behind can replace them in turn. Moreover, their soldiers can also change the formations of the tired soldiers in front at any time and withdraw them to take turns to rest.
But the Vikings didn't know that this was all a plan of Aoda and Isaac. Whoopi led the Crow Flag and the North warriors to attack in front of the rocky beach.
Looking at the Devon soldiers scattered in the rocky beach, his eyes were full of disdain.
"Charge!" Whoopi raised his ax and roared at everyone.
They let out bursts of shouts and Viking roars, and the crowd of crow flags stood among them like a monument.
At this time, the North soldiers with high morale rushed towards the line of the Devon soldiers like a stormy wave.
"Steady, steady."
From among the Devon soldiers, there were roars from the officers.
The soldiers held up their shields and steadily resisted the Viking attack. Even though they were exhausted, their companions behind them supported their backs with their arms.
"Ping, ping."
The axes and iron swords of the Russian warriors hit the shields, making bursts of muffled sounds. These sounds were connected together, like the sound of water from a stream hitting pebbles.
Auda also got off his horse at this time. He drew his sword and walked among his soldiers. The appearance of the Sheriff boosted everyone's morale. Although they all suffered fierce attacks from the Viking warriors, they basically defended the rocky beach.
At this time, the Vikings' formation was like an oval pebble, squeezing the entire Devon army's line.
"Whoopi." At this time, a North Lord said to Whoopi, "Their formation is very tight and we can't break through."
Whoopi raised his brows, his beard swaying from side to side on his chin, and he said angrily: "There is no front that we Northmen cannot break through. Lead the elite soldiers to follow me and use the oldest wild boar assault formation in Northern Europe."
"Understood." Lord North nodded quickly and sent his most elite soldiers to Ubi.
Ubbe clenched the ax in his hand, and the other warriors held bucklers and formed a small triangular formation around him.
"Raven flag," Whoopi shouted loudly.
"Yes." His personal guards immediately held the crow flag and accompanied Whoopi.
"Forward," Whoopi yelled.
Their small formations, like an awl, suddenly broke through the defense line of the Devon soldiers. At this time, the exhausted Devon soldiers could no longer stop them. The troops led by Whoopi Nordic wild boar formation composed of warriors.
When they broke into the formation, their axes slashed everywhere like a whirlwind, killing those Devon soldiers who tried to stop them. Suddenly, the battlefield was littered with corpses, and the Vikings' savage roars shook the sky.
A group of brave Devon soldiers tried to block it with their spears, and the ax head collided with the spear shaft, making crisp sounds. But in the wild boar formation, the lightly-armed Vikings took out their bows, arrows and javelins and threw them out, killing the approaching Devon soldiers.
This breakthrough in the front line had an immediate impact. Many surrounding Devon soldiers began to flee in panic.
"Stop," Auda shouted. "For the glory of the Lord, don't run away."
He held his sword and led his knights and some nobles, and smoothly rushed towards the gap. Because of the empty space created by the fleeing soldiers, Auda and Ubi soon met.
Auda saw Ubbe coming towards him, holding a crow flag and forming a Nordic boar formation. He made a sign of the cross on his chest, raised the sword in his hand, kissed the blade, glanced at his companions and said: "Start the war until the end of the world."
After he finished speaking, he roared and charged forward with his sword.
Whoopi looked at Sheriff Devon who rushed over. He licked his dry lips excitedly, weighed the ax in his hand, and ran away.
The two sides collided with each other amidst the thunderous battle roars.
The ax head collided with the sword blade and sparks were emitted.
Oda crossed his hands with his sword and twisted the sword to easily remove the fierce force of the axe.
He knew that he would never be able to defeat Ubbe in a head-to-head encounter, and every blow from this strong Viking would make the tiger's mouth where he held the sword go numb.
Ubbe laughed loudly, put the ax on his shoulder, and reached out to touch his beard. He longed for a real battle so that Odin in the sky would allow him to enter Valhalla. At this time, Whoopi and Oda were fighting fiercely.
Isaac has led his own raiding army and quietly appeared on the right flank of the Vikings.
He sat on his horse, stared at the army caught in the melee, pointed his hand and said: "Attack."
There were no heroic words, because in Isaac's eyes, those were insignificant. All victories had been planned clearly before the war began, and improvisation was just the random roar of a fool.
However, these ambushing raiding troops could no longer hold back. They saw their brothers, friends, and companions being killed by the Vikings, and they felt a surge of anger in their hearts. "Attack." A knight drew his sword. He was wearing leather armor decorated with iron plates and led his attendants and other soldiers to rush over.
The Vikings, who were in the middle of a fierce battle, did not expect that their flanks would be suddenly attacked, and many people suddenly panicked.
In particular, the location chosen by Isaac was on a condescending slope. When these raiding troops rushed down, they used the charge of the gentle slope to break into the Viking line at once.
At this time, their strong troops armed with bucklers and axes were working hard to break through the line of Devon soldiers in the front, while most of the rear were shield maidens and lightly-armed soldiers.
In a sudden attack, he was immediately beheaded.
"A shield wall forms a shield wall." At this time, some North lords were still trying hard to gather the remaining warriors in an attempt to form a shield wall to deal with these Devon soldiers who suddenly attacked.
At this time, the Devon soldiers who were on the front heard the familiar shouts of their friends. They knew that the side attack was finally effective, so they raised their shields, just like the ancient Romans, and used their shields to hit the Vikings hard. People push out.
The commotion in the rear and the sudden increase in pressure from the front caused Ubi's army to suffer a double blow.
Many North lords who had seen something bad began to quietly search for an escape route. They could not injure all their warriors in this place.
