It turns out that Noah's Ark is kind of aimed at his feelings.

Qianyu, who was hiding on the edge of the battlefield, thought so when he was found by British soldiers for the fourth time.

I'm on the edge of the battlefield, so why are so many people coming to me?

Chiba slapped the blade of his sword on the soft underbelly of the British soldier, causing him to arch himself, and then stabbed the British soldier in the abdomen with his sword.

Harold II's army consisted of a small number of Guardsmen and a large number of militias, all of which were well-equipped units, but the militia was poorly equipped.

For example, a person with armor will never be affected by Chiba's method of slapping with small arms, but a militia without armor can only resist this blow, and then grin in pain.

As for why Chiba used a sword to shoot instead of chopping... It's all because the Traceless Umbrella is close to a baton in close combat to melee combat, so he just used it easily - in the normal world, the only thing that can resist this move is fluffy enough clothing or professional body armor.

But there are too many people ... Chiba parryed the spear with his sword, took a step forward, and then stabbed the enemy's ribs with the hilt, taking advantage of the opponent's loss of combat effectiveness to complete the harvest.

In the face of a rookie of this level, Qian Yu can safely complete the torture.

However, the absolute crushing of one point will not save the rout of the surface.

The other Vikings were not subjected to multiple enemy wheel battles, but they were besieged by two or three soldiers, and even though they were militiamen, they had the same offensive capabilities as the elite soldiers (and of course, much worse defenses)

The Viking soldiers who had been near Chiba had fallen one by one.

It's not good, let's retreat first... Otherwise, you will die!

At that moment, movement behind him caught Chiba's attention - a steely shield wall was already standing on a high ground behind him, and a blue-edged and white-background banner embroidered with a blue bird was fluttering behind the shield wall. (This is the Viking's "Destroyer of the Earth" battle flag)

The military prowess of the Vikings and the experience of Harald III allowed them to successfully regroup after the initial blow, ready to take on the Harold army from afar. (Of course, that's mostly due to the time the three-legged Viking warrior won more than 40 consecutive solo challenges.) ）

Qian Yu hurriedly retreated in the direction of the shield wall, and circled to the back of the shield wall from the side - his shield was slapped into the water with a stick by the opponent due to a mistake in a previous block, so it was impossible to participate in the shield array.

If Chiba were to judge, he would think that Harold's army would be relatively advantageous in the short term due to the Vikings' lack of armor. But after fighting for a while, Harold's army, which had arrived by a rapid march, would be in a state of physical exhaustion.

Now, however, the Anglo-Saxon guards were so well armed that Chiba's scalp was tingling.

Whether it's a well-crafted sword, a sturdy shield, or a chain mail with a wide coverage, the guards are not inferior to the equipment on Chiba... Although these guards seem to represent only a small part of the entire British army, they are still the most important core of the British army.

As the British army, which had also formed a tight formation, gradually advanced to a position more than a hundred meters away from the Viking army, more than 20 British cavalrymen wearing chain mail left the group and rode towards the Viking battle formation.

A majestic roar came from the center of the battle array, and spears protruded from between the shield walls, standing upright upwards—the best countermeasure against the cavalry charge.

One cavalryman left the formation of more than twenty other horsemen and came to the front of the Viking soldiers.

"Whew!" A loud Viking battle cry came from the Viking soldier directly in front of the cavalry - more soldiers joined the second battle cry, more soldiers joined the third battle cry.

The cavalry reined in the horses under his crotch and tilted his head in disdain for the Viking warcry.

"Tostig, your brother King Harold greets you. If you can agree to his terms and make peace with him, you will be able to get a third of the kingdom! ”

Tostig? Chiba frowned - Tostig was Harold's brother who had been banished by Harold because of a quarrel and had several failed uprisings.

Is this going to persuade Tostig to surrender?

"And what will my brother, the King of Norway, get?" Under the flag, a man dressed as an Anglo-Saxon pro-guard shouted.

"Ah, Harald?" The cavalry said with a slight mockery. "Since he's taller than the average person, I can generously give him a seven-foot square piece of land—I don't mind if it's any bigger!"

With that, he returned to the British formation, surrounded by other cavalry.

A few minutes later, the onslaught of British soldiers began, and a group of British soldiers began to storm the shield wall - all militiamen without chain mail.

Qianyu felt that the threat of this wave of charges was not great - although the British army did have sufficient physical strength in a short period of time, it did not mean that they would be able to fight against the shield wall in the case of attacking from the back, not to mention...

A large number of arrows were projected from behind the shield wall into the charging British soldiers, and when the British soldiers rushed in front of the shield wall, they were no longer able to resist the shield wall in terms of morale, physical strength, numbers, and armament.

These militiamen had allowed individual sub-platoons of the Viking Shield Wall to come to the first platoon, and then disappeared into the command sequence of the British army by breaking out or dying in battle.

Although in this era, conscription is indeed quite a high-end practice, Qian Yu still frowned.

There is a story in the Far East with anti-war thoughts: "Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like people in a spring boudoir dream." "It was not only Harold's people who died in front of the shield wall, but also the husbands of their wives, fathers of their children, and children of the elderly.

The British soon launched a second assault, and it was a completely defenseless militia.

Qianyu's brow furrowed - was this an attempt to use human life to carry out a futile impact? Harold would be naïve to think that such an attack would break through the shield wall...

At the same time as the militia stormed, large British forces also began to advance. However, the militia's impact was very ineffective, and although they still had a considerable amount of strength when they approached the shield wall, they were defeated earlier than the previous one.

Harold II is in trouble... The schadenfreude in Qianyu's eyes was even worse.

In some cases, a rout is much more troublesome than a death - after all, a rout may break up the formation of the troops, but there is definitely no risk for privates.

"Rush!" Under the battle flag, a majestic voice was heard, and a man dressed in equipment not inferior to that of the previous sturdy officer swung his sword and rushed out of the shield wall that made way for him, and roared angrily. "Whole army, charge with me!"

It seems that it should be Harald III, and here he alone has the right to order the troops to abandon the favorable position of the high ground and charge the other side.

However, after Chiba charged with the Viking soldiers who had disarmed the shield, her form changed dramatically.

The main force of the British army was divided into three parts, making way for the rout to retreat, and then rushed to the Viking soldiers who had abandoned the shield array in a full-army assault posture. And the routers, after passing through the two passages, immediately joined the end of the main British army and participated in the charge.

The black-pressed British soldiers immediately accelerated and crashed into the Viking Legion.

The wave of "routs far from being there" just now was actually far from collapsing, but only a feigned rout, in order to lure the belligerent Harald III to give up his defense and take the initiative!
