The next day, Randy placed the four letters in front of Wald, and the dwarven king, who was not as good as Randy, suddenly began to have a headache.

"What should we do now?" Randy asked.

"You don't know, how would I know." Wald rolled his eyes.

"Okay, then let's use the elimination method to judge."

"United Kingdom of Ireland, Wales! Yu Gong, this group of Celts is very strong, and they are our fierce rivals for controlling the British Isles. For selfishness, the Celts are our enemies, and the purpose of our landing in the British Isles in the first place was to take revenge on them, so it is impossible to reconcile the contradictions between us and the Celts, and our letters can be ignored. ”

"The Scotsman's side...... I didn't expect William Wallace to be executed like this......" Speaking of this, Wald was a little emotional.

"No one is good for a thousand days, and no flower is red for a hundred days."

Randy also pretended to be insincere and sighed, "But, are we really going to fight Scotland?" Even though William Wallace is dead, the other Scots have fought alongside us, and I can't bear it! ”

Wald nodded approvingly: "That's true, then forget it." ”

"Then there are only these two left."

Randy put two of the letters away and picked up the other two on the table with one hand, "Of these two letters, one of them is Alfred's letter for help, what do you think?" ”

"Anyway, they're all enemies, let them eat dogs!" Wald said.

"But is that really good? London is the capital of England, and if Ireland conquers it and then holds the city, it will be difficult for us to break through London. ”

"No problem, just leave the siege to us dwarves." Wald patted his chest and reassured.

Randy nodded speechlessly and took out the last letter, "So, the last one!" What do you think about what Edward IV means by the fact that he is willing to use all his territories in France, including the entire Duchy of Normandy, the Duchy of Aquitaine, these two lands, in exchange for our support for him to obtain the throne of England? ”

"This ......"

The Dwarven King Walder was a little hesitant, to be honest, he had no interest in understanding the messy inheritance between humans at all, but he couldn't do anything at this time, because Randy always had a lot of reasons to combine two things that seemed completely unrelated.

However, in recent times, the Dwarven King Wald has basically learned how to communicate with Randy, and the most common words are:

You look at it......

You can do it if you think it's okay......

You're the manager, you make your own decisions......

Before you know it, the entire dwarven tribe has inexplicably become a vassal state of Randy, but the dwarves are still unaware.

Randy nodded, he was also used to the way he got along with Wald, and Randy could naturally anticipate how Wald would respond.

"Very good, then get in touch with that guy for the time being, determine the true intentions of the other party, and then make plans."

Wald obviously didn't expect that Randy would approve of Edward IV's proposal at this time, but how could there be such a good thing in this world? Exchanging two dukedoms for an illusory island throne is unreliable at first glance, and that guy didn't plan to repay the debt in the first place, right?

But in the end, Wald didn't express his concerns, and spent months with Randy, he knew that this eagle-eyed guy was not so easy to be fooled, and planned to make further contact with Edward IV, eighty percent of them were using each other's ideas, although Randy did this seriously violated the traditional morality of dwarves, but Randy was a human after all, and Wald didn't bother to care about so many things.

Once the matter was settled, Wald asked, "Why don't you go down when the coalition arrives in Nottingham?" ”

Randy laughed, "When the battle between Ireland and England is over, we'll go,"

Wald nodded and said no more.

Thames Estuary......

General Carter stood at the bow of the ship, holding a telescope in his hand, looking at the city of London in the distance.

"I can't imagine it, it looks like I can send a letter to the chief."

Carter shook his head, there are thousands of defenders in London, plus the supply of materials is sufficient, it will take at least ten days and half a month to fight a tough battle, but what Carter didn't expect was that the Celtic queen actually took only five days to break through London.

And at the Queen's urging, the Celts went mad, and piled sandbags, stones, and corpses on the top of the city as if they were crazy, and spent two days erecting a slope of nearly 60 degrees on the edge of the five-metre-high walls of London.

The Celtic warriors, armed with large, shoddy shields to protect their bodies, rushed to the city, and then smashed the large shields into it, drawing their Irish swords and slaying them at the head of the city.

"The siege took five days, but the actual battle lasted no more than a day, and London fell, and although his subordinates specialized in the navy, they were not familiar with land warfare."

"The Welsh longbowmen and elven longbowmen of the Celts numbered more than five thousand, and when attacking the city, the arrows were like flying locusts, and the English, who had only a few hundred longbowmen, could not raise their heads, and this kind of combat power was especially worthy of attention. At the same time, the Celts still retain the characteristics of the ancient barbarian period, and the number of barbarian berserkers under their command is scarce, but the combat power is extremely strong, and the berserk combat is almost unstoppable, and its skills may not be as good as the Viking berserkers, but the destructive power is still excessive. ”

"Thirdly, the Irish heavy swordsmen are the ones who are attacking the city of London, armed with Irish swords, wearing heavy chain mail, and their impact and destructive power are on par with the Viking warriors of the dead, and it is also necessary to pay attention to it, as for the enemy's cavalry, the subordinates have not seen it in the siege battle, and the lord forgives me."

Carter quickly finished writing the letter with a quill pen and handed it to the spy who had been waiting for him for a long time, and then the spy folded it into a slip of paper, tied it to the pigeon's leg and let it go.

On the night of the fall of London, Randy receives a letter from his subordinate Carter.

Randy consulted urgently with Wald, and the army headed south early the next morning.

A total of 33,000 troops, falsely claiming to be 50,000, the combat effectiveness in the British Isles is definitely one of the few.

Despite this, Randy was still a little uneasy, and recruited another 2,000 mercenaries in England, and then continued to move forward.

And this delay was another day, and the United Kingdom of Ireland and Wales had received the news by this time.

"It's coming fast!"

When King Arthur heard the news, he couldn't help but sigh. Originally, according to her time calculation, she used a fast horse to deliver the news, and it took at least five days to go back and forth, and when the other party waved south, her army had already rested, and the two sides would definitely not be at a disadvantage in battle, but what she didn't expect was that the speed of the Vikings was much faster than she imagined.

King Arthur pondered to himself, "What method did the Vikings use to deliver messages?" Our army has just experienced several hard battles, and the soldiers are tired, should we continue to fight, or temporarily avoid the edge? ”

At this thought, King Arthur immediately put this idea behind him.

"No, you must not retreat, if you don't fight a battle, it will have a great impact on morale, it seems that you can only face it."

Thinking of this, Her Majesty snorted lightly, and laughed at herself: "Hmph! What exactly am I afraid of? It's just a Norwegian king, and although his recent series of achievements are quite exciting, they will eventually shine like a meteor and disappear in a flash. Let me see, Randy von Hoffmann, what is so good about it?! ”

——————————

In the southern plains of England, on the border between Nottingham and London, fifty miles from the River Thames, the armies of both sides staggered to each other......

The combined forces of Norway are in the north!

The United Kingdom of Ireland and Wales is in the south!

The two sides handed over the war letter and agreed on life and death.

Randy really didn't expect that after several big battles, the Queen of Ireland would choose to attack head-on.

However, the other party does this exactly what he wants, if the other party chooses to escape and hide in the vast mountains and forests of Wales, he really has no good way to take her, but if this is the case......

Randy looked at the elaborate battle map produced by Enides, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Don't say I'm bullying you, Your Majesty!

On that day, the clouds were thick, and there was a storm in sight.

However, both sides are not children, even if the heavy rain will not delay the battle, in turn, Randy has to thank this heavy rain, after the rain, the bowstring will become weak and weak due to moisture, which can limit the attack of the opponent's longbowmen to a certain extent, which is a very bad thing for the long-range and powerful United Kingdom, for this reason, the mercenary leader, the longbow commander Cadis also specially approached Her Majesty, hoping to delay the battle time a little.

"According to the intelligence, the other side's knights are very good in terms of number and combat effectiveness, and when the rain passes and the sky clears and the roads are muddy, the situation will be favorable to our side." The mercenary leader suggested.

And his advice was completely ignored by Her Majesty the Queen......

"I said when I fight, when I fight, as for the inconvenience caused by the weather, it is just an inconvenience, in the wind and rain, the opposing cavalry will not be also restricted?"

So the battle went on as usual......

Seeing the dark clouds overhead, Randy prayed to himself.

Rain, rain, rain,

The rain finally fell, but in a way, it was a little different from what Randy had imagined.

A total of 5,000 archers lined up in a skirmisher line, occupying the entire surrounding kilometers of frontage, and the longbowmen tried their best, as if to exhaust all their strength before the rain.

However, it was not the first time that Randy had fought an English longbowman, so he naturally knew how to deal with it.

In front of the army, the elite dwarven warriors lined up in tortoiseshell formations to guard against arrows. At the same time, the other soldiers in the back row also covered their bodies with the shields that had recently been rushed to work and were nearly two meters in diameter, so as to minimize the damage caused by the rain of arrows.

"Is it just huddled in a turtle box? Where did the Vikings go? ”

King Arthur, who was standing on a hillside and looking into the distance, said dissatisfiedly, and then with a wave of his hand, he ordered the longbowmen to retreat backwards, and the Celtic army under his command was divided into three columns and outflanked each other.

Seeing the opposing longbowmen gradually retreating, followed by a large number of Celtic tribal warriors with red upper bodies, holding battle axes and round shields, and Irish heavy swordsmen wearing heavy chain mail and holding Irish swords, rushed over, Randy gave an order, and the coalition forces quickly turned from defense to attack, and the two wings pressed the formation with crossbowmen and hired longbowmen, and the super long spear formation slowly advanced, and a large number of mercenary spearmen lined up into a shield wall to protect the flanks.

Frontally, the Dwarven two-handed axe warriors and the Viking Death Strike Warriors come out and charge with their battle axes.

As soon as the infantry of the two sides came into contact, they immediately saw that although the Irish heavy swordsmen were not inferior to the long-handled axe warriors, and they were still superior in attack speed, at the same time, the plate chain composite armor still could not completely prevent stabbing and slashing, and the Irish heavy swordsmen did not suffer.

However, in the confrontation of general infantry, the Celtic barbarian warriors were not at all the opponents of the dwarves and Viking professional soldiers, and under the support of the flying axes, regardless of equipment and training, they had to throw out the opponent's professional Viking warriors for several streets, as well as the dwarven infantry and the dwarf militia advanced step by step.

At the same time, because King Arthur was eager for quick success, his own infantry line was too long, which made the United Kingdom array slightly weaker, that is, easier to break through than the normal array.

The coalition forces advanced on the frontal battlefield, and on the flank battlefield, the super-long spear array and shield wall, under the support of the longbow and crossbow, also effortlessly withstood the attack of the Celtic army, and the Celts, as a barbarian race, also inherited the consistent advantages of the barbarians.

The charge is fierce, but there is no patience, as long as you don't break through the opponent's array for a while, you will become tired, and then your morale will gradually decrease, and you may collapse at some point.

Randy decisively ordered four hundred hired Frankish knights to split into two teams and go around the two flanks of the opposing party, but they were unsuccessful, and were entangled by about five hundred Irish knights, and after the first round of charges, the cavalry on both sides dropped their spears, drew their swords, and slashed each other.

Seeing that the Frankish knights were gradually falling into disadvantage due to the lack of numbers, Randy frowned and sent the few remaining patrol cavalry and a hundred improved Tomahawk cavalry to stabilize the line, so as not to let the opposing cavalry successfully strangle and attack his flank.

The sky was already drizzling, and seeing that the front line was not progressing well, King Arthur ordered the longbowmen to send projectiles to aid his own frontline soldiers, although doing so would have caused more or less accidental damage to his own army, but now there was no more to care about.

Several noble generals under the command of King Arthur stepped forward with their knight guards, shouting loudly to boost morale, so that the Celtic infantry array stopped continuing to retreat after receiving assistance, and the battle situation stabilized again, the soldiers on both sides stepped on the corpses and sacrificed their lives to fight, the rain became heavier and heavier, the sky became darker and darker, and even had the illusion of suddenly being like a dark night, only occasionally a thunderbolt bombarded down, under the dazzling white lightning, you could see the madness in the eyes of the soldiers on both sides.

Randy had already taken back the monoculars in his hand, it was impossible to see clearly in such weather, and if it weren't for the system prompt, Randy wouldn't even be able to grasp how far the battle had progressed.

"The power of heaven and earth is so great that the insignificance of mortals can be seen."

Randy sighed softly, on the Enides tactical map, the two armies have been in chaos, there are several places, the Celtic front has been breached, and there are two gaps in the coalition front, in this case, the soldiers on both sides cannot accurately grasp the opportunity, so they cannot use this as an opportunity to extend the victory.

But these are enough, such a heavy rain will do more good than harm to Randy.

Because the water on the Thames was so strong that General Carter carefully commanded the fleet to a harbor where it was not stranded by low tide, and settled down here.

"The cavalry should have arrived at this time, right?"

Before the battle, Randy took his strongest cavalry unit, a total of two hundred Norwegian knights, and half, more than two hundred improved Tomahawk cavalry to the banks of the Thames, and after boarding the ship, ordered the fleet to transport this cavalry directly to the back of the battlefield, and instructed the cavalry captain:

"If the rain is pouring down, don't hesitate to send troops as soon as possible and attack behind enemy lines."

"If it doesn't rain, wait until the afternoon, and also storm the enemy's rear."

Now is the time when Randy said that the heavy rain is pouring, and he hears the sound of people behind the opposing camp turning on their horses, and the enemy front instantly becomes fragile and abnormal, Randy snorts lightly, knowing that he has succeeded in his plan, he has won this battle, and there is no suspense.
