Section 165 Danish cavalry

"Hurry forward, hurry~~." On the road to the Duchy of Bavaria, a crack army was advancing, and anyone who saw it would flee in terror, the lords huddled in castles and closed their gates, and the barons hid in the manor and did not dare to relax.

"Boom~~~." Because it was a purely cavalry army, the Danes on tall horses were fierce and fierce, and although Banur converted to Christianity and became part of the Catholic nation, many unimportant territories and counties were unaware of this due to the limitations of communication. When the Danes appeared in their territory, all the southerners feared that the Vikings were about to start a new round of looting.

"Pile up the money, the Vikings are coming, God! Help us! "When a frightened lord heard the news, he immediately commanded his servants to pile up all the money in the vault outside the fortress, and when he heard the roar of the Viking horses, he was so frightened that he hurriedly hid in the fortress.

"Here they are." When the soldiers on the city wall saw the distant formation of Danish cavalry in a queue between the trees, he hurriedly sounded the alarm bell, and everyone watched with bated breath.

"I hope these Vikings will be satisfied with the money." The lord made a cross on his chest, then crossed his hands and prayed to survive the catastrophe, but his prayers seemed to be answered, and the Danish horsemen ignored the fortress and the money outside, and headed straight south.

"They're gone?" Everyone was puzzled, this did not seem to be in line with the Vikings, but in fact it happened like this, could it really be the apparition of Christ.

"The speed of the cavalry is really fast." If anyone had the guts to approach this team, they would be amazed. The leader was not a Viking chieftain, but a knight dressed as a Germanic nobleman, a tall and burly knight, but missing a hand.

"Count Yves, it's a good idea to bring more horses with you." A Danish leader said complimentally. He came to support the Mecklenburgers on the orders of Banuk.

Although the Danes were reluctant to abandon the old gods in favor of the new ones, the support from Christendom was abundant, greatly improving their economic life, military innovation, and culture, and dealing with their backward Norwegians, so Banuk received more and more Danish support.

Banuk reciprocated by strengthening his alliance with Mecklenburg, agreeing to support the Danish warriors in the war between Arold and the Duchy of Bavaria to follow Yves south, which of course also had a huge effect on the pillow wind.

"Your horses are very good. I see that after the end of the war, Mecklenburg was willing to buy some. Yves looked at the Danish warriors on horseback, who, like all Vikings, were fond of using battle axes and round shields, and in the old days the Danes wore a rudimentary leather armor for protection, armed with the fierce will to fight that had been developed in the snow and ice. But now they were equipped with round iron helmets and light chain mail, which was the result of Mecklenburg's support.

"It was my brother's idea. He said to bring more horses so that he could exchange horses on long runs. So that the war horse is not too tired. Yves said to the Danish chief.

"Where do we go now? Direct support for the Duke of Mecklenburg? The Danish chief asked.

"No, let's go to the other side and let the Bavarians themselves rule their dukes!" Yves grinned and said to the Danish chieftain.

"That's right, your brother's idea?" The Danish chief also asked with a smile.

"That's right, let's go. Go the other way. Regardless of his brother's merits, Yves turned his horse in the other direction, followed by three hundred Danish horsemen and twice as many horses.

The Duke of Bavaria sat in his tent, and he was puzzled by Arold's unsuccessful peace talks with Arold, who was baffled by his intransigence. In particular, the Danish entry made him a little worried, he was not afraid of the Danish raid, what really scared him was Arold's diplomatic ability, if Arold was in alliance with the Danes, it would mean that he could influence the actions of the Viking tribes, if the Mecklenburgers instigated the Vikings to continue to move south, then the pressure on the Duchy of Bavaria was extremely great.

"Lord Duke, don't worry, the Vikings are not so easy to control." Brother Robert stood beside the Duke, and he knew the Duke's concern in Bavaria, so he spoke to him.

"What if we're wrong? I asked my spy chief, this Duke of Mecklenburg rose so fast that he was like a darling of God, what if he incited the Vikings to go south? The Duke of Bavaria said worriedly.

"He's not God's favorite, he's just an upstart, and an alliance with the Danes is probably bragging." Brother Robert hurriedly dispelled the Duke's worries, and finally surrounded Arold in the fortress, how could he just give up?

"No, I must stop the vassals' army." The Duke of Bavaria stood up, he could not take the risk of gathering his vassals now, and once the vassals gathered their armies in one place, their territory would be empty, and if the Danes took advantage of it, the consequences would be dire.

"Lord Duke, this is a good opportunity to eliminate Arrod, he is like a cunning fox, once we miss this opportunity, I am afraid that he will slip out of our palms." Brother Robert said anxiously.

"Lord Duke, there are spies returning." At this moment, there was a report from outside the tent.

"Let them in." The Duke of Bavaria is actually hesitant, if it is Arrod's scam from beginning to end, then it will not damage his reputation as the Duke of Bavaria if he is known to be tricked.

"Oh no, Lord Duke, our spies have discovered that a Danish cavalry unit has entered the border." The panting spies broke in, dressed as a yeoman farmer, and as soon as he entered the tent he fell down on one knee and reported to the duke.

"How many people? How is the equipment? The Duke of Bavaria's heart chuckled, but he didn't expect the Danes to appear, and the water became more and more muddy.

"A hundred people, all cavalry." The spy swallowed, and he said to the Duke of Bavaria with difficulty.

"What?" The Duke of Bavaria was surprised, the cavalry dispatch means that this is the elite unit of the Danes, and there must be a large number of infantry in the follow-up, what kind of formation is this~~ (To be continued......)
