From the beginning of the early morning to now, after nearly nine hours of fighting, the two armies still have not decided the winner.

Although Randy's army is superior on all fronts, even a little adjustment can lead to a rout of the enemy.

But before that......

A tie is a tie......

The sky was getting darker, and in another hour or two, the sun was about to set.

It was quite difficult to carry out a battle of this magnitude at night, and the only way was to go back to their respective homes, recuperate, and wait for another duel the next day.

But Randy didn't want to!

The Cossack cavalry used a very different tactic from the professional hussars.

Ride and shoot in a circle!

As the name suggests, it is hundreds of cavalry next to each other, in a large circle, while running while shooting, the advantage is that the firepower is continuous, the part of the light cavalry facing the enemy shoots, and then runs over the bow to wind, and then runs over to shoot, forming continuous firepower, and at the same time the circular cavalry shooting formation is hollow, which can effectively resist the scattering of the walking archers, and exchange fire with the foot archery to the greatest extent.

But the Mounted Archer has one of the biggest weaknesses, which is the lack of mobility, at least that's what Randy thinks, and the light cavalry is not as good as the heavy cavalry, which is also a well-known problem.

Therefore, the Norman hoplites, seeing that the enemy was in such a formation, felt that the opponent was very naïve, and won by themselves.

But soon the Cossack cavalry taught the Norman cavalry a profound and unforgettable lesson!

When the Norman heavy cavalry and the Cossack cavalry were about to make contact, the Cossack cavalry actually changed formation in an instant, with fifteen horses at a distance, the Cossack cavalry in front continued to run forward, and the Cossack cavalry in the back turned the horse's head slightly, and the circular angle changed, like a snake coiled into a circle, and in an instant its head was deflected into the circle.

The Norman cavalry pounced, and seeing the other party's actions, the Norman cavalry suddenly felt a little confused and at a loss.

The Cossack cavalry turned again, and the entire circle instantly formed an encirclement, charging towards the Norman cavalry, who were still dazed and confused.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the other Cossack cavalry behaving like this, Randy had no choice but to scold angrily, and now he had no cavalry troops at his disposal.

All right! In fact, there is another one, which is his own knight guard.

But it is completely impossible to get Randy to give such an order, and the Guards knights also have a task on their side, which is to blow the horn and convey Randy's orders, so the tactical significance of this army is completely lacking.

But then again, Randy doesn't think his cavalry unit will fail.

After all, it was an elite heavy cavalry built by him and piled up at a great cost, and it was inferior to this group of Cossack vagrants in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness.

As the battle continues, Randy throws another 3,000 men to the front in a fit of rage.

Since the cavalry is useless for the time being, it is better to defeat the opponent with infantry in a dignified manner.

So, the 3,000 men rounded up to the right flank and attacked from the flank.

A charge after a round of flying axes increased the pressure on the opponent's array, and under the advantage of such a flank attack, Novgorod, which suffered the most serious casualties, could not support it in the first place, and Rurik saw that his army had lost nearly half of his army, and the hard-formed Tomahawk cavalry unit suffered heavy casualties, and his heart was dripping blood.

No matter what the battlefield situation is, he knows that in this battle, even if the final winner is himself, he will be swallowed by the other two families because of the damage to his strength, in this case, it is better to carry everyone together.

"The whole army retreats! Go to Gustav in TM! ”

After giving the order, Rurik first turned around and retreated with his own personal cavalry, and as soon as the commander-in-chief ran, he also announced the complete collapse of the Novgorod army.

After a full day of high-intensity combat, the Norman warriors were all about to lie down tired, but under Randy's strict orders, these soldiers produced by Enides continued to fight desperately.

At this time, the sun was about to set, and the light was already very scarce, and the knights of the guard under Randy's command, seeing that their monarch did not give any orders for a short time, brought dozens of torches from the baggage soldiers in the camp, at least to make this tower quite bright, hoping that it would not become a target for the other party.

All right! In this era, there are no manned space vehicles such as griffons and dragons, and there is no trickery magic such as flying and winging, and Randy is obviously safe in the rear.

Randy stared at the battlefield with great nervousness, completely oblivious to the setting sun, the war had entered a white-hot phase, with the tragic battle between the Cossack cavalry on the right flank and the Norman heavy cavalry, the remaining Norman heavy cavalry on the left flank, along with the professional hussars, and the Muscovite army in a scuffle.

Frontal Battlefield ......

If Rurik had collapsed an hour or two earlier, then the absolute defeat of the enemy coalition was assured.

But it is a pity that this kind of thing did not happen, although the front was further compressed, and at the same time, deserters had appeared in large numbers, but after Gustav used the Nordic Lion skill, the attack and defense of the Swedes increased significantly, and the morale instantly returned to a level, so that the shaky front was stable again.

"Damn! Damn it! Damn it! ”

Seeing that his army's attack had been thwarted again, and that many Swedes who were fleeing in confusion had also rejoined the battle, and the battle seemed to have no chance of ending, Randy was furious, drew his command knife and slashed horizontally, cutting off the torch beside him, and unleashing the stunt Hades Scream.

In an instant, fear enveloped the entire battlefield, and the trend that had stopped collapsing came again!

"Assault! Order the royal knights on the left and right flanks to assault and attack the enemy's right flank, leaving the rest of the reserve into battle. Randy gave a quick order and flipped on his horse.

"Follow me," Randy ordered, and the knights of the Guard quickly ran down from the platform, and some of them jumped directly from the tower more than five meters high, relying on their good skills.

The result is ...... in the end

The battle with Gustav turned into a decisive battle that had to be won in person.

Gustav Adolf is indeed a very difficult opponent, if everything goes well, he will not see that guy again after today, even if he can escape, Sweden will be captured by Randy, and Gustav can only be a poor worm under the fence, and it is impossible to make a comeback.

But Randy doesn't feel pity, only rejoices.

Randy is not the kind of person who likes to challenge high difficulties, and he is not the kind of neurotic who will be idle and bored, like to train his opponents, and finally raise tigers.

It would be great if everything went smoothly.

Randy joins the battlefield, and Randy's legion is inspired by the boss's personal expedition, and under the terrifying brutality of up to 16 points and the effect of death brutality, Randy is invincible, and the enemy soldiers who are already extremely exhausted have collapsed and fled.

"What a loss this time! Let's withdraw! ”

Next, like dominoes, the defeat is like a mountain, the rout of one person causes the fear of dozens of people around, the rout of five people can affect the flight of hundreds of people, at this critical juncture the Cossacks are unreliable, although in the face of the Norman heavy cavalry still have the strength of a battle, there are still more than 2,000 men and horses in the fight, it can be said that it is the strongest combat effectiveness in the coalition army, but the leader of the Cossacks did not hesitate to choose to flee!

It can be seen from this that the Cossack mercenaries are the most undisciplined, extremely fickle and extremely unreliable mercenaries.

After a whistle, the Cossack cavalry quickly turned around, ignored the Norman cavalry engaged with them, and fled directly, which made the Normans feel inexplicable, but after all, they were light cavalry, although they had not participated in the war for a long time, but their physical strength was better than their own, so they would never be able to catch up, so it was better to change their opponents.

The large-scale heavy cavalry that Randy had been looking forward to for a long time to storm the opponent's flank occurred, because Rurik, who was actually serving as the garrison of the right flank, had fled with the remnants of Novgorod's defeated army, so this time, the Swedes suffered the impact of thousands of cavalry.

It has been said before that the vast majority of the Swedes who participated in the war this time were temporarily conscripted farmers, and even some people were not even equipped with weapons, and they were able to fight with Randy's elite legion with their blood and courage before, thanks to Gustav's extremely high virtue and the skill blessing of the Nordic lion, but after this, Randy also stepped on the battlefield, so that the extremely high brutality value plus the skill bonus of Hades Scream directly offset Gustav's ability, and the Swedes were once again violently attacked by the flank cavalry, they could no longer hold on and collapsed instantly.

"Damn! Can't fight any more, retreat! ”

After that, Semenovsky also made such a judgment, when the Cossacks retreated before, he felt that something was wrong, and he was ready to flee for a long time, this time he didn't even have to react too much, and directly turned his horse's head and fled with his own guards cavalry.

At this point, the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow collapsed on all fronts, and the freed professional hussars and the Norman hoplites on the left flank also began to attack the Swedes in disarray.

The situation on the entire battlefield has become irreversible, and the commanders of the three coalition forces have fled one after another, and now only Gustav is left, seeing the coalition army fleeing in confusion, but there is nothing to do.

The other two commanders of the coalition army can indeed escape, they still have territory, there are still soldiers, the land has not yet fallen, as long as they can escape, they can regroup and come again, but Gustav can't, his kingdom is Sweden, he is the king of Sweden, born in Sweden, raised in Sweden, destined to return to Sweden.

Gustav ignored the anxious admonitions of his guards......

"Hurry up and retreat, Your Majesty! It's too late to be late! ”

Although he knew that these servants were for his own good, Gustav still smiled sarcastically.

Run away? Running away again?

Where can you escape? Stockholm?

There had been a siege before, and it turned out that the place could not be defended at all.

Besides, what did you flee to there? Surviving under the wings of an old enemy?

Gustav asked himself if he hadn't been so lowly yet.

Then let's die a glorious battle! Die here, torn apart by the enemy's longbows and arrows, tomahawk spears, and hang your head high on the barrel of the gun as proof, just as the Vikings often did, and that ending is suitable for you.

"All attack!"

Thinking of this, Gustav did not hesitate, drew his long sword and pointed straight at the sky, and rushed to the chaotic battlefield first.

A very discordant scene emerged......

While the Triple Alliance Army was fleeing in disarray, there was a cavalry force of less than 100 people charging, as if it was swimming against the current in the turbulent water, which made people feel inexplicable and moved at the same time.

It's a bunch of brave fools!

May history remember them!

On June 17, 1102, Sweden, Novgorod, the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and the 70,000 troops of the Triple Alliance all collapsed, but the Swedish king Gustav went up against the current with less than 100 soldiers, and fought bravely until death.

The next day, as most of his soldiers returned to the camp to fall asleep, an anxious Randy finally waited for the news he wanted.

Gustav Adolf's body was found......

Hearing this, the Norman king could no longer bear it, laughed and walked out of the barracks quickly, and saw the corpse of Gustav who was carried on an improvised stretcher by several knights of the guards.

Just as Gustav had thought before, he had been hit by dozens of arrows in his torso, his lower leg and right hand had been cut off by an axe, and a large hole had been made in his abdomen, which seemed to be an injury caused by a mounted spear.

"Are you sure this person is Gustav? Could it be a stand-in? ”

"Yes, the monarch, I have seen many Swedish captives before, commoners, soldiers, nobles, all of them, they all say that this is Gustav, and his crown and shield indicating the family coat of arms are also found around."

"That's good!"

After learning the accurate news, Randy finally put his mind at ease.

"Cut off his head and stick it on the barrel of the gun."

————————

Some people may wonder why a crown is forged from steel and decorated without adding any gemstones.

Although steel is indeed a precious metal in this era, and the Norman iron crown worn by Randy is also produced by Enides, which is forged from modern smelting alloys, which can be called the best steel.

But no matter what, the iron crown can't compare to a golden crown with a golden light, right?

"Only fools and exploders would like crowns made of gold,"

Randy replied, "Steel is very good, all weapons are forged from steel, and the only mission of steel in this era is to kill, and in addition to killing, it is also killing, and wearing such a heavy crown stained with endless blood on the top of your head, you will have the consciousness of killing at any time, or being killed!" ”

Randy von Hoffmann, conquer Sweden!
