In a forest outside the battlefield, the sounds of fighting on the battlefield could be vaguely heard, but a group of people in the dense forest didn't care. They spoke a rude language, similar to Norse but completely different.

These people wore armor made of fur, and the armor on their bodies was also different from that of the northerners. There were spears and axes beside them, and horses were tied not far away.

"How long?" One of the bearded warriors was cutting dried meat with a knife and putting it in his mouth to chew.

"I don't know. They said the sun has risen to the highest point, but where is the sun now?" another soldier said.

"Mikhail, why do we fight for these northerners?" The soldier next to him who was peeing into a tree said when he turned around and lifted his pants.

"This is Ingrid's order. We can only obey the order." Mihail put away the carving knife and spat out nonchalantly.

"Ingrid, a woman, hum, we only obey the Grand Duke's orders." However, the grumbling warrior said disdainfully.

"If you have any questions, talk to Ingrid in front of her." Mikhail glanced at his companion and said to him.

"Ha, come on Mikhail, I know you are not convinced either."

"Shut up, someone is coming." Mikhail frowned. He is actually the cousin of the Grand Duke of Novgorod, but he has been excluded from the core of power. Now he can only protect the Grand Duke's wife. Name guard.

Although the Novgoyin soldiers were riding horses, they wanted to shoot arrows from under the horses, but they actually succeeded. We got up from the horses and stood next to the horses.

"dismount."

"Cum, cum~~."

"I know." Ha Yin'er gritted his teeth and led the tired North warriors back toward Miyingli and others.

The war horse stepped on the ground and made a roar. Mi Jingpiaoshu pursed her lips. I followed the cavalry to a position a hundred steps away from Dongwagas' army and immediately stopped.

"What are we going to do?" Hamar was paying attention to the battle behind him and took a moment to look at the group of cavalry. He originally thought that the group of cavalry would rush directly to his side and in front. If that was the case, it might cause the position to become unstable. But I thought that the group of people got off the horse directly.

"It was such a peaceful battle." Mi Yingli and others sat on the back of the horse and looked at the Vikings who were retreating from each other. We felt our lips moist and our blood gushing.

Upon seeing this, Mi Yingli immediately put her bow in front of her, turned over and dismounted.

"It's time to work." Mi Jingpiaoshu stood up, patted the dust under her butt, and said to her companions.

"Now?" Jing Piaoshu was stunned for a moment. Now all the soldiers around me were involved in the battle, and even one of them could almost escape.

"Shield wall." Ha Yin'er also thought that the other party could actually shoot arrows, so I immediately shouted to the North warriors following me.

"I got it." The Novgo Jingpiao warriors still untied the reins of their horses, dismounted one after another, and rushed out into the forest.

"Now." Hamar didn't have time to explain to Jing Piaoshu, but he could only accentuate his weak tone. Many of the soldiers around me fought with injuries, and the disadvantage in numbers could not be made up for in a short time.

Mi Yingli sat on the back of the horse, thinking a lot. I was originally willing to join that war. After all, the North people are some bad and brave warriors, although the Novgoyin soldiers are also the same. Brutal and brutal, but dying in vain is not worth it.

The arrow was shot from Miyingli's side towards Hayin'er and others, and Hayin'er quickly raised the buckler in his hand, and the arrow was stuck under the buckler.

"Yes." The other Novgoyin soldiers were slightly startled. We had not thought that Miyingli would ask us to take out our bows and arrows, which made us feel relieved.

"Bows and arrows," Miyingli said. Although the spymaster ordered us to retreat to the front and side of Hamar and others, even if our few people retreat bravely, we will probably be surrounded and killed very quickly. .

While Miyingli was thinking about it, I

We haven't reached the edge of the battlefield yet, and from there we can see the two sides fighting fiercely. Whether they are the Viking warriors from Ewaik or Hamar, they have all retreated to the most stalemate moment of the battle.

"Drive it~~."

The Viking warriors were all furious. We used the round shields in our hands to form a shield wall, pushing each other, and axes and spears thrust out from the gaps.

Immediately afterwards, Hamar narrowed his eyes and saw this group of cavalry standing under the ground, with their bows and arrows aimed at Jing Piaoshu and others who were approaching.

"Whoosh~~."

"We have to find a way." Mi Yingli frowned, and I thought about it while riding. Those soldiers are my companions who live with me day and night. It is a big deal for me to hurt anyone. What a pity.

Miyingli returned to her position, kicked her mount hard with her heels, and slowly rushed towards Hamar.

"Hayin'er, take people to the flank." Hamar's uninjured right hand held an ax, pointed in the direction of Miyingli and others, and ordered Hain'er.

At this moment, a Norse warrior on horseback hurriedly came from nearby. On behalf of the spymaster, I conveyed the order for the group of warriors from Novgoyinr to immediately attack the flank and front of Vargas' army heading east. .

From the gap in the shield wall, Ha Yin'er saw the group of cavalry dismounting and running away, and he suddenly felt confused. "Ding ding ding~~~."

"Roar~~." The North warriors immediately raised their round shields, forming a large shield wall. One side of the shield wall was aimed at Miyingli and others.

The Viking longbow has a long range and weaker penetration, but it is easy to carry. Shooting an arrow requires very low skills and a certain amount of preparation time. The kind of bow Mi Jingpiaoshu brought, although the bow is short, means The shooting range is also short, but the speed is very slow. More importantly, it cannot be shot from under the horse.

"Hayin, let him go." At that time, Luther waved the long-handled ax in his hand, led two berserkers, and rushed over with all his strength, replacing a section of the battle line, causing several North warriors to withdraw to the front.

"Shield wall, push."

At this time, Hamar and others also discovered that cavalry unit. Although there were only about 80 people, they were still very impressive, because now the army of East Vargas and the army of Eweike were in a subtle conflict. In the balance, any small investment may tilt the balance of failure to either side.

"Forehead?"

But Miyingli hasn't taken out the bow yet. That bow is the same as the Viking longbow, a shorter horn bow. Northerners usually have not seen that kind of bow. In fact, it is also Novgoyin. The Er people did not know the power of that kind of bow until they interacted with the nomadic tribes in Central Asia.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."

Mi Jingpiaoshu shot out the arrow in her hand and missed it. The firing speed of the horn bow was very slow, but it was able to penetrate the shield wall. Although Ha Yin'er and others used the shield wall, their retreat speed would be slightly faster, but Still stopped and pressed forward.
