The Norse warriors immediately stopped advancing under Ulf's order. Although the Norse people usually lived in scattered tribes, they knew very well on the battlefield that they must obey the orders of their commanders.

Ulf raised his head and glanced at the opposite side, only to see the Unsa people waiting sternly. The pointed shields in their hands were connected together like a wall, and the spears in their hands were like a forest.

Behind the pointed shield, Auda's archers were already bending down to hold their bows. They took out arrows from the quivers they carried on their backs, ran their fingers through the tail feathers of the arrows, and were ready to put them on the bows at any time.

As long as the Vikings take a step forward, the archers will shoot a hail of arrows, weakening the Vikings' combat effectiveness.

Auda's brows wrinkled imperceptibly. He didn't expect that the Vikings stopped slowly outside the archer's shooting range. This was not a good sign.

Sure enough, the next moment they heard the unique war cry of the Vikings.

A war hammer was raised high, and a Viking war cry came from Ulf's mouth.

Under his leadership, the Norse warriors behind him made noises one after another at the same time, and the sound spread to the Ansa people's formation emperor, making them involuntarily commotion.

"Steady, steady." Auda had no choice but to shout loudly, finally making the frightened crowd gradually stop.

The fear of the Vikings has almost been deeply ingrained in the souls of the Ansa people.

"Shield wall." Ulf saw the opportunity and shouted.

"Wow."

The North soldiers roared and took off the bucklers they were carrying. The people in the front row connected the bucklers together to form a shield wall fortress.

But this shield wall fortress is movable. They slowly pushed towards the position of Auda's army, and the airtight pressure was suffocating.

Auda's soldiers were nervous as they looked at the approaching Viking shield wall. At the occasional gaps in the Viking shield wall, the northerners with blue and black paint on their faces looked like they were coming from hell. A beastly horror crawling up from the depths.

Especially some soldiers who had just been recruited, the spears they held tightly in their hands could not help shaking, and the collision between the spear tips made a slight sound. However, in this depressing environment, this slight sound was particularly harsh.

"Hold your weapon tight, damn stupid pig." The veteran who was touched by the spear couldn't help but cursed in a low voice. In this depressing environment, scolding other people is sometimes a good way to vent. Method.

But the recruit became even more nervous after being scolded, and the shield in his hand suddenly fell off, which made Ao Da's brows frown even tighter.

Ulf hid behind the shield wall. He bent his body and moved with the shield wall, and from time to time passed through the gaps between the shields to watch the reaction of Oda's army. The panic displayed by the soldiers of the Oda army when facing the North warriors showed that there were many new recruits in the opposing army.

At the beginning, Ulf and others saw that this Ansa army had a large number of people and occupied a certain geographical advantage. They felt that it would be difficult for anyone to defeat them.

Guzlen couldn't help but look solemn among the North warriors. He didn't know whether the gods would favor him this time.

But now Ulf is very sure that they have a chance to win.

"brush."

At this moment, Ulf heard a sound like rain coming from above his head.

"Shield wall." Ulf shouted without thinking.

"Wow." The North warriors stopped in a hurry. They built the round shields in their hands into an airtight fortress. The arrows were like hail, constantly hitting the thick round shields.

Ulf raised his head and took a look. The round shield above his head made a constant sound, just like when he was a child, he was hiding from the rain under the awning of a roadside stall.

At this time, he saw Vargas holding a round shield. He held the shield high in one hand and touched his beard with the other hand. He did not look at the Ansa people opposite him at all.

"Ha." When Vargas noticed Ulf's gaze, he grinned, as if he was laughing at himself, but also as if he was saying hello.

Ulf ignored him and focused his gaze on the gap in the shield again. When the arrows above his head were sparse, he immediately yelled and ordered the shield wall to continue to move forward.

The Ansa people on the opposite side may have realized at this time that bows and arrows had no effect on the Vikings, and a loud command came from the Ansa people's position.

A row of Angsa warriors swooped down from the hillside, trying to use their terrain advantage to break through the Viking shield wall. As long as the Viking shield wall is broken up, the archers above can use their arrows to inflict maximum damage to the Vikings.

"Hold on." Ulf saw through the opponent's intention at once. He leaned forward to hold the back of the person in front with all his strength, while the North warriors in the first row held the buckler in their hands tightly.

"Ahhhhh." With waves of shouts, Ansa soldiers rushed over with spears and shields in hand.

They tried their best to rush their bodies towards the Viking shield wall, trying to use this impact to open a passage.

Seeing the wall of round shields in front of them, these soldiers spread their legs and accelerated their speed. They may die, but as the master's warriors, their heroic souls will remain immortal.

With this belief, they have put life and death at risk.

"Open." However, looking at the group of Ansa soldiers rushing over like dead warriors, Ulf was very calm, and he suddenly shouted.

The North soldiers in the first row quickly understood what he meant and immediately removed the round shields in several parts of the middle part of the shield wall, leaving several passages.

The Ansa soldiers, who were determined to die and tried to break through the Viking shield wall, suddenly saw several gaps in the shield wall. This time, they could not stop themselves and ran into it.

"Wow ah ah~~."

"Ping, ping, ping."

Under the inertia, the Ansa soldiers who rushed into the Viking shield wall saw axes coming from the left and right before they could react.

Axes and axes struck their bodies, causing bones to break and flesh to rot, and they screamed in agony.

The soil underfoot was mixed with flesh and blood, and it was horrible to look at.

When this group of Angsa people was introduced into the shield wall and eliminated, the subsequent Angsa people saw that the gap in the shield wall was quickly closed, and they would face a thick fortress again.

"Send more people, from the side." Auda had already expected this. It is impossible that the Angsa nobles had not studied the tactics of the Vikings during the Vikings' raging for so many years. He knew the frontal shield. The wall is basically impossible to break through, but it is just to attract the opponent's attention. In fact, the real killer move is on the other side.
