The charge between cavalry and cavalry all depends on the fighting will of both parties and their immediate skills. Of course, equipment is also extremely important when under rapid impact.
Although most of the shield cavalry led by Ange were leather armor and carried round shields, the spears they held were one meter longer than ordinary spears. Such a length could be used during a charge. Have a preemptive effect.
Sure enough, when the shield girls were charging forward, they leveled the spears in their hands and pierced the kingdom's cavalry in an instant. The spears penetrated the horses, and the neighing horses fell down, and the cavalry on the mounts fell. Being thrown down hard.
"Grachi~~."
Although the remaining kingdom cavalry suffered a heavy blow, they still refused to retreat. They dropped their spears and drew their swords to attack. The shield girls also shouted and took off the axes from their waists. The two sides immediately fought together.
"Pfft." Ange turned the ax in his hand, then pointed it at a cavalryman who was close to him and slashed at it. The sharp ax cut off the cavalryman's wrist, and blood spurted out from his fracture. The wings on Anger's horse were dyed red.
At this time, Ulf and others saw Ange in the fierce battle, and immediately disbanded the shield wall and rushed towards the place where the cavalry were fighting fiercely.
"Throwing axe." When Ulf and others approached, he saw the kingdom's cavalry entangled with the shield maidens, and he immediately shouted to Vargas and others behind him.
Vargas immediately raised the ax in his hand and aimed it at the Kingdom cavalry who were riding on their horses and slashing at the shield girls with their swords. Then, he threw it violently, and the ax rotated and flew towards a body. The body of the knight is pierced by iron pendants.
"Ah." The sharp ax pierced the knight's back. The knight did not expect that the opponent would attack so quickly. He raised his head, scratched his back a few times, and fell off the horse.
"Wow~~."
Flying axes fell like raindrops on the heads of the kingdom's cavalry. Although they were equipped with heavy armor such as iron armor, the Vikings' flying axes were like specialized nemesis.
"Retreat, retreat." Seeing this situation, the knights of the kingdom knew how powerful this Viking force was, and they shouted in panic.
In the end, they retreated out of the parish, leaving only dozens of corpses and several prisoners behind.
"Oh God, who can save us."
Seeing this scene, the people of the Diocese of Christchurch watched with disappointment as the knights fled, realizing that no one could save them.
After repelling the attack of the kingdom's knights, Ulf was not reassured. He immediately urged the prisoners to start cutting down trees, build sharp logs to block horses, and placed them at the entrance of the parish to prepare for the next attack by the cavalry. .
"The food and supplies here are enough for us to leave." Vargas and others reported to Ulf after collecting the entire parish.
"Very good, use the prisoners to start cutting down the trees and make a long ship that can leave." Ulf nodded. He was tired of fighting on this island. At this moment, he missed his own territory more and more.
In the remaining days, the captives began to cut down trees and make long ships under the supervision of the Vikings. To their surprise, the Vikings were a group of highly skilled craftsmen who used axes to chop trees into keels.
In the busy and peaceful days, Ulf often frowned and stared at the English territory in the distance behind him. Although he told Ange and others that he would return to East Hamar with the loot this time, the setback in England was still It made him feel angry and unfair.
"Next time, we will set foot on this land again with more troops belonging to me." Ulf decided to return to East Hamar. After recuperating, he reassembled an army that obeyed his orders and met Alfred again. Virtue competes with each other.
After a month has passed
In Alfred's camp, Yinsak was paying close attention to the movements of the Vikings. The spies he sent to grasp the situation, a large number of Viking troops, led by Guzlen, moved into Around Mercia, the news came as a relief to everyone.
"Thank you Lord, these demons finally kept their promise." After hearing the news, the ministers and nobles couldn't help but cross themselves on their chests to express their gratitude to God.
"My lords, we cannot be so relaxed. The Viking army has not been disbanded." However, Yinsak made suggestions to everyone.
"Yinsak, let the adults relax a little, we are too tired." Alfred said to Yinsak.
"But, Your Majesty." Yinsak frowned. He didn't think the Vikings would keep their promises so obediently.
"I know." How could Alfred not know the nature of the Vikings, but he couldn't make the nobles and civilians in his kingdom too nervous, otherwise they would be exhausted before the Vikings came over. .
At this time, a messenger hurried over and handed a small note to Yinsak.
Yinsak frowned and opened it to take a look. He was slightly startled and couldn't help but look at Alfred. At this time, Alfred also looked at him.
"What happened?"
Alfred asked Yinsak.
"Your Majesty, a group of Vikings raided and occupied the Diocese of Christchurch. I have reason to believe that it was Ulf who led this group of Vikings." Yinsak told Alfred said.
“Did the Vikings break their promise?”
"Are they going to restart the affair?"
"Wait a minute, isn't that guy named Ulf one of Guzlen's men?"
When the nobles heard the news, they suddenly became excited. Some of them even suggested breaking the agreement and starting another war with the Vikings.
Alfred frowned. Of course, he was unwilling to use this excuse to immediately start a war with the Vikings. After all, his army and people needed to rest.
"Your Majesty, I think this may be a small emergency. If your Majesty trusts me, I will take people to find out." Yin Sak clutched the note in his hand, and he remembered the piece of paper he went to find Ur. If they provoke the Vikings and make the Vikings tear up the agreement in anger, then all Alfred's efforts will be in vain. After all, they plan to take advantage of the agreement. This allowed Wessex to prepare for war and be fully prepared for the next Viking invasion.
"Understood, then as the King of Wessex, I order you to be the special envoy of the kingdom and go to understand the situation." Alfred also immediately understood what Yinsak meant. After he pondered for a moment, he immediately Appointed Insak as envoy to the Diocese of Christchurch.
