Chapter 644: Stamford Bridge

News of the Battle of Fulford spread throughout England, and King Harold, who was now on the Huntington Forest side of the Ullman Trail, had more time than time, and the warriors of the village of Crohurst, who had marched two hundred miles to catch up with the king's army in four days, knew what they were about to face, and were getting closer and closer to the invaders ravaging the north.

Harold had also made a name for himself on the battlefield, having beaten Muggles to the ground in his Hufflepuff hometown of Wales three years earlier when he was still an earl. But now, for the first time as king, he faced a major test, and his survival rested on the shoulders of the southern army that was struggling north through the dense forests of central England.

Because he was in a hurry for days, the tall and thin Leofrick complained: "My leg is really going to break." ”

"You pick one, either shut up and save energy, or ...... Fall and die. Odega, a recruiter who had been patrolling the ranks on the way, heard the complaints, walked up to Leofrick, glanced at his legs, and said when he saw that there was nothing wrong.

Leofrick glared at him angrily, and after finishing speaking, he overtook the recruiting officer who inspected the front team: "Odega, you always like to bully people. ”,

Odega, who was walking in front......, shouted loudly without looking back: "That's because you always like to complain!

"Ah...... Ahh

Interrupted by a shout, Odegar lifted the shield behind his back, then turned around and looked at Tofi: "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm so sorry...... Ahh

"I'm not marching material, leave me here......" Tofe's face was full of pain, although it was actually only some skin trauma, he really couldn't hold on any longer.

"I have to take everybody, including kids who can fight. Odegar deliberately shouted loudly so that everyone around him could hear him, and then leaned close to Tofi, "Can you stand up?"

"Reluctantly...... Ahh

"Don't worry, you'll be fine soon. Odegar sighed, leaned over and put Tofi on his shoulder, and said to Leofrick, who was looking at his friend worriedly, "Come, you help Tofi resist the weapon shield." ”

"Odega, you always like to bully...... Leofrick still complained, but he had already got the equipment of his dead friend in his hands.

25 September 1066, on the side of Stamford Bridge.

In the Viking camp, the dry bones of various cattle and sheep hung on the wood, scraped clean, and the hides were put on clotheslines and exposed to the sun. Salted fish were threaded on ropes, waiting to be eaten.

One by one, the cages were pushed into the camp of the Vikings by the local English, and the black and white rabbits in the cages opened their eyes wide and their little noses twitched constantly, and the Vikings were waiting for a steady stream of tribute to fill the Vikings' desires, and the unfortunate people near Yorkshire brought their harvests, their livestock, and even their children.

A berserker had just come out of the tent shirtless after enjoying his spoils of war, and when he saw the leader outside, thinking of the strange behavior of the high-level officials in the past few days, he couldn't help but ask his boss who thought he had a good relationship with usually: "Lynch, why does Hadrada have to separate our troops?"

Hearing this, Lynch also frowned slightly and looked a little puzzled, but then the ruby red light on his forehead flashed, making him forget the suspicion of being prompted by his own subordinates, and he smiled at the berserker, "Wouldn't it be better for us to stay here and take hostages?" Or do you want to be one third of the unlucky ones to guard the fleet?"

Berserker shrugged, "I just think we should be careful, at least don't leave our armor with the fleet, we'll have to walk fifteen miles to get it......"

"The Vikings have won! the north is ours!" Lynch, the leader of the berserkers, did not respond, but jumped onto a stone and shouted around, "The wealth of England will make us prosperous!"

The Vikings around him, including the berserker who had just raised the question, also shouted under Lynch's lead.

The inhabitants of Yorkshire, with their horses and cattle and sheep in their heads, bowed their heads, delivered them to the Vikings. The mothers were sadly holding their children in the cages, unable to bear to send them away, let alone imagine their fate afterwards, but they were pulled away by the Vikings.

At that moment, a distant noise on the other side of the River Derwent made the Vikings immediately realize that something was wrong.

It took Harold only seven or eight days to reassemble his men from London and march to York, two hundred miles away, and there was no doubt that Harold's troops were swift and that attacking them was their most powerful weapon.

The ordinary Viking soldiers thought that unarmed civilians were waiting for them, but they were taken aback.

Harold didn't expect to march north so quickly, and the Viking middle and upper echelons were left defenseless by enslaving the gems, but fortunately the river blocked the way of the English, and only a dilapidated wooden bridge with a width of only two or three people could be used to cross the river.

Tosti, who was familiar with the English tactics of warfare, suggested that the Vikings, who were now lightly armed and adept at long distances, should first lead their troops to retreat to the vicinity of the ships fifteen miles away, and join the remaining soldiers and use the ships and garrisons to cover and change into armor before the decisive battle.

Although Harald refused under the influence of magic, the ruthless man who was good at fighting was obviously not a fool as long as he was not controlled, and he sent his strongest berserker guards to guard the bridge to buy time for the rest of the troops to assemble in formation.

As the leader of the Berserkers, Lynch did not realize that his good state was due to the wizard, but he also felt that he should be held responsible for this behavior. He stopped his subordinates who wanted to go to the bridge, shook his head and said, "I don't need you on a day like today, I have Odin's protection!" He pointed to the red gem on his forehead, and then ripped off the bear skin and coat on his body at once, and threw it to the ground, bare and shirtless, showing the knotted muscles of the python tendons, wearing only a Viking-style butterfly helmet, he held a giant axe that ordinary Viking warriors need two hands to control in one hand and walked to the middle of the bridge.

Lynch, whose helmet obscured the upper half of his face, looked coldly at the English people boosting morale. He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips like a beast waiting for its prey to come to the door, and now he was completely unrecognizable to his cunning and gentleness, and now he was just standing on this small wooden bridge as a Viking warrior, alone in front of the army of tens of thousands of Anglo-Saxons.
