Rebirth of the Viking King

When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent.

The first wave of people to leave the battlefield were naturally the Visigothic pirates who were paid to do things.

"Whoever has breasts is a mother" is the survival principle of this group of bulk pirates. Now, of course, the pirates didn't know that Ecbert simply fell into a coma when the Slavic man lifted his "corpse".

My mother is gone.

Naturally, the "milk" will be cut off.

"Let's go! Damn it, this trip is in vain!"

"Isn't that right? If you have this time, it's better to go to the New World to catch another batch of living sacrifices. Boss, you don't know how much I miss those shiny black-skinned women."

"Don't fucking call her a black-skinned woman. Even if I become a monk now, I don't want to fight with these giants who smell like wolves."

"What the hell are you thinking about! Let's go now!"

Visigothic languages ​​with different city-state dialects came one after another, spreading like wildfire. The Visigothic pirates, who were extremely outstanding in "turning to the wind", neatly put down their weapons, removed all excess burdens, and evacuated the battlefield in an orderly manner.

This is a "survival skill" they have developed over many years.

The bulk pirates who set out to maraud in small groups knew how to escape.

"Never be the first to charge, and never be the last to retreat."

This is the survival principle for all survivors. And in thousands of escapes, it is not difficult to find that only orderliness can bring speed.

No one is more professional than them when it comes to evacuation.

**

The second wave of evacuees were the Wessex militiamen captured by the strong men.

Wessex was a country that developed farming and trade. In this country, as long as they work honestly, although they may not necessarily be rich, most people will be able to start a family and start a business, and have enough food and clothing.

Although the militiamen who came under Ecbert's sign had the word "soldier" in their name, the vast majority of them had only played with spears for a few days during village and town gatherings. Compared with killing people, they are more concerned about their wives and children in their hometown and the young crops that have just been sown in the fields.

Seeing that the king was dead, a group of "allies" were withdrawing from the battlefield. The militiamen who had little desire to fight were the second wave of people to withdraw from the battlefield.

But they don't have the in-depth running experience of the pirates.

The militiamen fled like a pile of scattered sand.

However, a full 50,000 of the 100,000-strong army were composed of militiamen.

The combined armies of Loki and Buchanbusch amounted to no more than 6,000 men, while the Wessex coalition had a strength of 100,000. In the Dark Middle Ages, when everyone fought hand-to-hand with steel swords, having more people on the battlefield was a huge advantage.

Even if the militiamen do nothing, they can cause huge trouble to the Viking-Slavic coalition by holding up their spears and acting as stakes.

They would in turn become a disaster for Wessex as the militia began to drop their weapons and flee.

Militiamen armed with lances were in the center of the defensive line. As they began to flee, the first wave of crossbowmen at the rear of the line suffered.

Although the Vikings led by Loki and the beast warriors under Bakanbusi formed a pincer attack in tandem, their forces were too sparse after all. The Viking-Slavic coalition, which totaled only 6,000, was immediately wrapped up in an army of 100,000. Even if everyone was a god, killing the Wessex coalition would consume a lot of their energy.

During this period, the 10,000 crossbowmen located outside the battle line became the main force of output.

However, Bakanbusi easily caught Ecbert. When the militiamen began to flee, the crossbow array was trampled like a tide!

The 50,000 militiamen scrambled to escape from the battlefield. They had no organization and no goals.

In the tidal flow of people, everyone has only one goal - don't fall behind!

Follow the buddy in front of you and run!

The crossbowmen wearing light leather armor had no way to deal with the impact of the flow of people. The commander roared and asked the militiamen to return to the battlefield, but what greeted him was a huge foot over a foot long.

After falling to the ground, the commander was trampled by hundreds of big feet at the same time. In just a few minutes, he was turned into a skin.

Then it immediately turned into a pile of meat paste

And this tragedy will immediately spread to all the crossbowmen behind the array.

It has been proven in real time that crossbowmen without melee attacks are as vulnerable as babies when faced with close combat. The militiamen did not need to hold weapons. They only needed to kick them down and stamp on them, and they were able to disperse and flatten the 10,000-strong army within ten minutes.

Seeing that the retreat could no longer be stopped, several captains stationed at the rear had no choice but to join the running team.

At this point, the original 20:1 troop strength was quickly reduced to 8:1.

It would be very difficult to deal with a war with 6,000 fighting 100,000. 6,000 fighting 40,000 is not difficult for the powerful Viking warriors.

But I have to say that Ecbert still has skills.

The 40,000 professional soldiers in Wessex are the real backbone of Wessex.

**

The dragon knight flies into the sky and escapes from the earth and is extremely powerful, but this thing is only a deterrent after all. Wessex has not been able to raise 300 dragons to form the Knights of the Dragon like the French Principality next door.

The dragon knight is like the jewel on the crown. The jewel will be set in the most dazzling position, but no king will only wear one jewel on his head.

A crown to support the gems and embellishments are essential.

These 40,000 well-trained troops were the "crown" above Ecbert's head.

Although the individual combat power is limited, this unit still shows tenacious resilience in desperate situations. Seeing their king being kidnapped by enemy generals, this army did not flee or panic.

Utilizing heavily armed spearmen, heavily armored knights, and a small number of high-sequence chosen ones wandering in the front, they fought tenaciously with Loki and Buchan Bush until the last moment.

Leading the army to resist fiercely was the 62-year-old Vincent "Iron Wolf" Gobber, Captain of Wessex. He knew that His Majesty was probably dead, but he still wanted to lead the remnant to attack the Vikings.

The veteran knew in his heart that the country behind him could no longer squeeze out any troops.

If they lose this battle, the surviving Vikings can roam across Wessex, enter any city, and kill anyone.

Even if he knows that the outcome of the war may not be in line with his wishes, the old general must weaken their effective strength as much as possible.

If one more pirate dies on the battlefield, maybe a few more families of Wessex residents will be able to survive this catastrophe.

The last 40,000 Wessex soldiers refused to surrender and fought tenaciously to the last man.

When the bright moon rose again, when Loki pulled the hatchet out of Vincent's head, the entire battlefield was already scarlet. The green fields seemed to turn into a terrifying red furnace.

It was full of bloody corpses, mutilated limbs and severed arms.

He wiped the blood from his face fiercely and began to count the number of people on the battlefield.

After winning this difficult war, only less than 2,000 of the 6,000 Vikings who followed him to sea remained.

The number of 5,000 beastly warriors brought by Bakanbusi from Slavia was even rarer.

There are only 3,000 people left in the Slavic-Viking coalition.

However, their next stop, the capital of Wessex, "Southampton", had another 100,000 residents!
