Rise of Rurik

Genius remembers this site address in one second: []https://fastest update! No ads!

The people of Godfrehagen do not know the imminent threat!

Of course they also know that every year there is a great Ross ship rushing across the wide Danish Strait. The bitter experience tells them not to provoke these madmen in the sea. If the Ross people have no other intentions, fishing boats and merchant ships should avoid their edge when they find them.

The two sides have maintained a rather delicate relationship for several years.

Since the end of the expedition against Britain and the rise of the Kingdom of Viking York in half of the territory of the Kingdom of Northumbria, the Viking immigrants from Norway have stabilized a territory, and there has been a steady stream of immigrants. This was a colonial operation, a spontaneous movement by the Norwegians. The Norwegians of all walks of life were forced to rely on fishing for sanitation. They also wanted to open up a new business of growing wheat to expand their experience and perseverance. Therefore, the king of the Viking Kingdom of York and the **** brother of Rurik Biyuni Magnut Song desperately to absorb these newcomers, the kingdom lives by Viking customary law, and his strength has been increasing.

The East is an ally, and every year the grain harvesting team of the Rossman Spuyut can get grain from the weakened Northumbria and Mercia.

Due to the strong fighting power of the Vikings, Northumbria and Mercia lost their resistance. This loss is not only manifested in the difficulty of the nobility in recruiting more troops, but also in the fact that the original population of the two kingdoms was small, and the population was even smaller after being attacked by the Norwegian-Russian coalition forces.

Cease fire to each other, and the two small kingdoms pay tribute to the Vikings. They are not simply fat sheep who contribute wool every year. They paid the tribute and received the promise of military aid from the Vikings. With the deterrence of the Viking army, the powerful Wessex Kingdom was also afraid to go north to crusade the invaders.

Even the situation in Wessex is quite complicated.

In just eight months in the past 838 years, the kingdom’s coastal villages have been looted many times. The attackers can only be Danes who crossed the sea. Although they are only stragglers, the kingdom's army just wants to counterattack each time. When they arrive at the attack site, they can only see the corpses and the remains of the farm that burned to the left.

but now! A large-scale Danish army has rushed to the southeastern peninsula of Britain and landed on the territory of the Celtic Kingdom of Cornwall.

This is the leader of the army. It is the Danish Sorkis. He and his brothers robbed a corner of Ireland a few years ago and built a fort named Dublin. Therefore, the Danish people who are unwilling to support the new Danish king Horlick and are unwilling to fight with it can choose to be Norwegians, they can immigrate to the Kingdom of Viking York, or they can go to Sorkis in Dublin.

When the strength of the Viking Kingdom of York expanded, Solkis's strength was also growing rapidly!

Sorkis saw the opportunity. More than forty long ships carrying 1,000 people set off from Dublin and arrived in the Celtic Kingdom of Cornwall.

The Cornishes are the Romanized Celtic people. They tried their best to resist the Wessex who crossed the sea. Faced with new invaders into the sea, it was impossible for them to fight on two fronts. In line with the principle of joining if you can't beat, the King of Cornwall actually reached an alliance with Solkis. Both sides have their own demands. The Danes want wealth, and the Cornishes want to regain their land. The two sides organized a coalition of up to 3,000 people to Chen Bing, the border village of Huntton. King Egbert, who was good at soaking in the Wessex King, who learned that something bad happened, hurriedly commanded the nation's elite and rushed to the southeast border.

A battle between the Wessex and the Danish-Celtic forces is inevitable!

But all this did not have immediate meaning for the Ruths, and even the Ruths lacked understanding of the Wessex Kingdom itself.

Ross's Sorgon ship can enter and leave the uninhabited land, cross the Danish Strait and go straight into the Hunter Bay in central Britain, enter the Ouse River to contact with the kingdom of Britain, and take the tribute and fly away.

In the past years and months, everything went well for Sorgon, and Spuyut will also bring news about King Biyuni and his brother Frocky.

There is also the situation of the Crown Prince Ella of Northumbria and the situation of the Mercia nobles.

Because the situation in 838 AD is very special, the Ross people will officially announce one thing to the Mercian nobility-the orthodox queen Mary gave birth to a boy and gave the pope a Christian name. The boy named Reglav is Mercia's sole heir to the throne.

This news was originally planned to be announced by the royal pirate and great explorer Spuyut himself. Spuyute doesn't have to actually meet the Mercia noble, just tell the "Broken Arm" of Northumbria about this news, if this guy is still alive...

These are all things to do.

There is only one goal for the Ross Alliance-Godfrey Hagen.

The Ross Fleet in a diamond-shaped array has one and only one big ship. Even those standard armed cargo ships have much higher decks than traditional long ships. They are obviously smaller ships. It depends on who is compared. Compared with traditional long ships, even armed cargo ships are bigger guys.

Rowing boats with ropes suspended on the sides of capital ships, such as sail cruisers such as the Aphrora, have eight small boats unloaded and can transport 80 people at a time to land on the beach.

Yes, Rurik expects that he is going to make a beach landing!

Because Ragnar’s intelligence shows that he has a good understanding of Godfreyhagen’s geographic profile.

"After all, he is a ruthless man who has been with Frank for many years, and he is particular about building fortifications."

Goldfrehagen is a political city, the core of which is the so-called "palace" of the King of Denmark. King Horrick was carrying the original sin on his back, and the surrendered leader also understood that this man became king with the support of the Franks. He was afraid that the lords would form a coalition rebellion, so he still engaged in the "Priest of Odin", and continued to use the blood of slaves to stain the king of blood, so as to continue to swear that he was still Odin's warrior, thus stabilizing his waywardness.

He is also building walled "palaces" and walled cities.

It was a stronghold on a rocky hill along the coast, and the core area was a large military camp. The brothers who had been fighting with him for many years completely took possession of the Lobad tribe's territory, and the men married on the spot and began to breed children. A large number of Robards depended on this group of outsiders, a thriving city was developing, and other institutions attached to the city were born. For example, a shipbuilding workshop standing in a city port.

Godfrehagen, who lives in a wide field of vision, is really the only place that the Spuyut Sorgon ships must pass. The information he provided is completely matched with that of Ragnar. Therefore, Rülik must be from the beginning. Think of siege.

Could the wooden fence be able to block the Ross people?

The torsion slingshot that can be quickly disassembled on the ship is currently an excellent siege weapon.

Even a siege weapon was disassembled into parts and placed in the cabin of the Aphrora.

The Ross Fleet rushed aggressively to the Øresund Strait, which belongs to the Danish Strait, and this sea area Rülic is also quite familiar.

The flagship raised the skull flag with black stripes on a white background, which is a signal to prepare for battle.

The soldiers standing on the bow of the flagship ship then notified each wing ship with a semaphore, and the final order was transmitted to all ships.

"Brothers are all ready, polish your swords, prepare your shields, and bring them to the bow. We are going to land!" All ships were passing the news, and the soldiers staying in the cabin sang and rushed to the deck with a smile. .

Everyone saw a not-so-small city. On a low stone mound stood a group of buildings wrapped by a wooden wall, and under the stone mound were a large number of low thatched houses.

The tall wooden houses are quite Frankish style, and the large number of thatched houses outside the wooden walls are quite traditional long houses.

But the traces of the Ross people had already appeared, and black smoke was burning abnormally on the coast.

"What's that?!" Rurik asked Ragnar beside him.

"It's not like accidentally catching fire, I'm afraid our enemy is prepared."

"Is it Fengsui? Create thick smoke as an alarm?"

Ragnar didn't know what was going on in this regard, so he nodded. He was a little nervous, and said, "Brother, if they make preparations, we are very likely to meet their cavalry."

"Cavalry? Frankish cavalry? Are you afraid of them?"

"Me?" Ragnar laughed rudely to cover up his embarrassment. He was embarrassed to say that he was really afraid of cavalry, and said: "At least you Russ are absolutely not afraid. I have seen you kill Frank cavalry with these heavy weapons, as easy as an axe to cut a small tree."

Arik is not on the flagship. If he is on the court, he will not hesitate to relive last year’s War of Bremen. The so-called Ross Bow Arrow Array destroyed the Frank Cavalry.

Arik Haushen described the incident. The "War of Bremen" was also used as a major news, printed on paper as a public publication, and posted on the bulletin board in the square for the public to watch.

Rurik did not fear the Danes' cavalry, and the landing site he chose did not seem to be a place where the cavalry could stretch well.

He drew his sword and pointed it directly at the port of Goldfrehagen: "No matter how much, we will rush to the port. Now we are ready to release the boat and the soldiers are also ready to drop anchor. We cannot delay too much time and fight for it. Hit the enemy by surprise."

The soldiers on the deck took orders one after another, and Ragnar also took orders, just a little worried: "Do we still have a chance for a surprise attack?"

"I hope." Rurik was also a little nervous, he still felt that he had too few soldiers on hand. He simply and sincerely said: "I am not ready for a decisive battle with Horrick, but I really don't want to let this opportunity pass. He'd better lead his troops to fight with our army personally, Ragnar, I hope you will cut it off by then. The head of the wicked man."

If it is really exciting, Ragnar slaps his mouth and pats Rurik's shoulder deeply, a look is better than a thousand words. He also went down to prepare, relying on his throat to give orders to the guys on the nearby wing ship.

This is the revenge of the Danish Stonewall tribe, and it is also the revenge of a large number of Danish exiles.

From their standpoint, Goldfrehagen is not the capital of Denmark at all, it is a sin city, and the flags of the raven flying in the city are simply ridiculous.

The Ross Allied forces are like a rainbow, with steel swords shining coldly, and crossbows and short wooden bows are also ready.

In particular, the Russian army's arrangement of torsion slingshots, according to the order of the semaphore, all the slingshots installed on the starboard side of all warships were removed. These unloaded slingshots do not participate in fire support, but are directly transferred to the boat with a small trolley, and then directly transported to the shore as a land warfare weapon.

Look!

The frantic escape of Danish fishing boats has disappeared from sight, and the entire port of Godfrehagen is in chaos. After the fishing boats fled into the harbor on a large scale, they chose to wash the beaches. The frightened fishermen took care of the catch, and ran away with their soft legs. Let the battle hell!

Everyone opened their eyes. Every year, they could see the provocative passing of the Ross ship, and they hated the blue and white striped spinnaker. Today is extraordinary. There are a large number of large ships in the port of Chen Bing, and the criminal spinnaker is like a mockery of monsters. There are a large number of clearly visible armed men. They are the Russian army! They clearly intend to carry out an armed assault on Godfreyhagen!

Chaos descended on the harbour, and ordinary people of the Lobad tribe were fleeing. Because Horrick was not the leader they chose, the Robards and the group of people who had returned from the Frankish territory were in an alliance, but they respected Horrick as the leader.

Only the men of the Robard tribe who had taken Horik’s gift decisively took up weapons to fight for their monarch.

As early as the first beacon ignited black smoke, the black smoke was like dominoes, spreading the information all the way to Godfreyhagen.

Horrick was in the city. He had thought that today would be an ordinary windy and sunny day. There would be no major events all day long, but the black smoke was clearly visible.

"Perhaps it was a misunderstanding?" It was the black smoke warning system he set up. Thinking that at this point in time, the hateful version of the Russ that swept across the strait would not come. Maybe it was a guard who accidentally ignited it. The pyre full of cow dung created thick smoke to attract oolong.

But he still ordered the elite soldiers inside the city wall to stay on guard. Although there is no definite information about the attack for the time being, it is necessary to stay vigilant, so the people outside the city wall are also partly mobilized.

Goldfrehagen is not a big city. The city is the home of Horik’s elite army and their families. Even though there are many Lobad people living here, these people are still a minority. Including women and children, there are more than 4,000 people in the entire city, spread out in a large area in the form of flatbreads.

The port area is densely populated, and the roadways here are also quite complicated.

The current port area is even more chaotic, because the people who fled have stopped the boats. No one will doubt it anymore, no matter whether Horrick accepts it or not, a typical Ross army rushes over!

Standing on the wooden wall, Horlick looked at the approaching fleet and felt that none of this was revealed. His legs trembled unwillingly, and he managed to control it with willpower.

"Brothers, it's an enemy attack! Let's go to fight! Rustende! Stad! Get your cavalry ready! I think the Russ are going to land, you rush over and drive them to the sea!"

Although the two generals had doubts, since it was the king's order, they should do so.

Besides, their family members are also here, and the money they have looted in the past is also here.

Especially Stard~www.readwn.com~ is that he was ordered to take over Hezeby, and the war broke out. He cleaned up Hezeby's Ruth forces and killed a large number of Ruth fighters (mercenaries are equivalent to the Ruth army). But in the conflict that broke out with the Frankish kingdom, the kid was injured and almost died.

Stad still had some physical sequelae after healed from his injury, but it would not be revealed after riding a horse. He wants to make a new contribution, and he also feels that such an incredible invasion of the Ruths is directly related to the killing of about a hundred soldiers of them before.

On the way back to the stables, the general Rustand pessimistically heard Stade: "Have you killed the Roths, do you know their strength? We are not prepared for this massive invasion, I am worried..."

"Don't be afraid." Stadt, who was limping as he walked, roused his spirits: "I have killed a hundred of them, and this time I will kill them a thousand. This is the world of our cavalry. Remember! No army can defeat Qibin in a land field battle. Only another cavalry can defeat the cavalry."

From these words, Rustende's worries were relieved.
