Chapter 90

"Let's take a gamble!"

"Just bet...... Hastings aren't really going to fight us to the death!"

Adric and Fat Ruhr have made a decision!

※※※

In the middle of the night, the lightly trimmed soldiers were ready for battle!

The horsemen tied their saddles tightly, polished their spears, removed the bags tied to their horses, and then gently patted their beloved horses and turned over and mounted.

In the darkness of the night, the cavalrymen lined up, and under the majestic urging of the officers, they held their heads high and slowly lined up the ranks as they advanced.

A wedge-shaped charge formation has been formed in the wilderness, and at the forefront is the heavy cavalry of the commander of Sosia, whose task is to break through the siege of the Odin from the front, and must be completely "chiseled"! And in the middle is the sixth corps of Ruhr, the infantry has lost most of their equipment, only the people around the queue are armed with weapons and armor and carry shields, and the people in the middle are only left with a uniform, they do not need to fight, the only thing to do is to run! After the forward heavy cavalry broke through the Odin ranks, they had to risk their lives and run through the entire line of the Odin.

The flag officer of the Fourth Banner Regiment, Feng Nata, is a thirty-seven-year-old typical Byzantine emperor, born in a middle-class aristocratic family, and has been in the army since he became an adult. Thirty-seven-year-old Fonnata was given an important task: to break the queen!

Not only did he have to guard against the Odin army behind him who had been blowing the horn and tailing with a farewell attitude, but he was also responsible for the task of covering the smooth escape of the headquarters in a desperate battle in the event of danger after the large army attacked Hasting's headquarters!

When Adric gave the order to Fonnatta, he whispered with a straight face: "You can die." ”

Hearing this, the thirty-seven-year-old Fonnata had a calm face, the resolute lines on his face did not change at all, he did not say a word, but straightened his body, looked at his general, and then made a chest-beating military salute with Li, turned around and strode away.

※※※

The assault is launched before dawn, and it is usually the time of the day when people are most tired and weak.

The assault troops slowly advanced along the wilderness in the direction of their target: the besieged garrison.

When the forward was only about three miles away from Hasting's besieging army, at last, the loud trumpet of the charge sounded!!

The trumpet tore through the silence of the night! In the midst of the fierce trumpet, the cavalry roared hard, kicked the horse's belly fiercely, urged the war horse, and galloped forward frantically!

Dawn is the darkest time before dawn, and at this moment it seems that the heavens are on the side of Byzantium, and the sky is full of dark clouds and no stars!

In the midst of the horn, the black-pressed horse team galloped up in the wilderness, pouring out like a dark cloud!!

※※※

Hasting's besieging army blocked the front of the garrison with a half-moon array, and the breakthrough of the assault cavalry was chosen in the center!

As soon as the Byzantines' loud trumpets sounded, there was an immediate uproar in the camp of Hasting, with people shouting and neighing, and torches scattered in many places.

Sothia's heavy cavalry rushed at the forefront, the horses were hung with horse armor, the people were heavily armoured, the cavalry held spears, swept wildly in the wilderness, in the dark night, you can also see the surge of that large dark cloud, the forward rushed to the camp of the besieging Odin, forced to break in from the middle!

Originally, there were not many fortifications to defend the horses, and the simple camp wall was frantically broken by the heavy cavalry, and the heavy cavalry broke into the camp of the Odin, only to see the chaos all around, the Odin warriors ran and exclaimed, the horses' hooves galloped down, and the scattered resistance could not effectively form a blockade at all, and the small resistance was instantly shattered under the trampling of the iron hooves! The horses' hooves trampled on one tent after another, and the discarded torches ignited a group of flames, and the sound of shouts and horses' hooves shook the sky, as if the whole earth was trembling in the night!

Sosia's heavy cavalry almost did not encounter decent resistance, and rushed directly into the depths of the inner belly of the besieging army, the gallop of the heavy cavalry, the strong impact, no Odin people can use ** to contend with, after going deeper, the resistance of the Odin people gradually showed its strength, some Odin warriors gathered, forming a large-scale resistance, small groups of reindeer cavalry entangled, the speed of the heavy cavalry charge was delayed little by little.

At this time, the infantry of the Sixth Corps who followed behind also rushed into the camp of the Odin, Ruhr, the fat man, walked with his own corps, this fat rabbit wore a heavy cavalry full body heavy armor, fortunately, the war horse under his crotch was also a first-class high-grade sè, otherwise, with his weight plus heavy armor, I am afraid that I can't eat it.

The fat man rode on his horse, carrying a long-handled battle axe in one hand, and was surrounded by his own soldiers, while shouting quickly and giving orders one after another. The 6th Corps specially listed more than a dozen squads, and after following the heavy cavalry to break into the camp of the Odin, they scattered on both sides and ran all the way, and at the same time began to set fires, tents, grain and grass, and wooden fences along the way...... Anything that could be set on fire was thrown at a few torches, and it was obviously not the first time that these special fire-setting squads had done this kind of thing, and while setting fires, they shouted hoarsely in Odin from their mouths.

General Adric led his guards and the rest of the troops in the third wave, and rushed into the camp of the Odinites in front of the shouts of killing, and the heavy cavalry in the vanguard were fighting hard, struggling to sweep out a passage, and the fat man's men were busy setting fires.

As far as the eye can see, in the camp of the surrounding Odin, there are people on their backs, fires everywhere, and figures running and shouting everywhere.

Adrick was in his heart, and he shouted to the troops to speed up!

The Fourth Banner Regiment in charge of the rear of the palace was all light armored cavalry of Qing Yisè, and Kevin and a team of personal guards were also formed into the queue of the rear of the palace.

After the large army broke through, the troops behind the palace cautiously followed! The god of Fonnata was solemn, and Kevin rode side by side, they had already heard the distance behind them, the Odin people who had been "following" behind them all these days began to move, the sound of the Odin's bull horn, mixed with the sound of chaotic hooves, obviously these guys will not let go of this good opportunity to bite themselves!

In the darkness of the night, Hasting's camp had fallen into complete chaos, and the heavy cavalry in the vanguard had almost completed an unimaginable task before: to cut through Hasting's camp!

And at this time, whether it was Sosia who led the charge at the front, as well as Ruhl or Adric in the Chinese army, they all had a heavy question in their hearts at the same time!

It was as if it was a hand in the dark, gathering all these nodes of time together! Just when this question surfaced in the minds of several high-ranking Byzantine generals at the same time, Hasting's action finally came!

A fierce and short bull horn sounded!

On both sides of the assault troops, there was a sudden sound of shouting and killing from the camp! The crazy roar of the Odin, the neighing of the war horses, the roar of the black bear, and the howl of the reindeer......

On both sides of the assault route, two torrents of black sè, like fierce beasts hidden in dark corners, finally found the enemy's weakness and frantically pounced!!

Like a pair of pincers, it slammed into the assault troops from both sides!

Hasting, finally make a move! The timing he chose was very clear, and his intentions were clear!

Target: Your Highness's troops!!

He really didn't want to fight to the death......! If you want to get through his Hastings' defenses, the Byzantines, but still have to pay some price!

This is Hasting's answer.

The vanguard and the Chinese army had successfully rushed through the camp, the heavy armored cavalry in the vanguard had been bloody and sweaty, and the fat man's infantry, even if they could run again, were so tired that they only had to breathe.

Although Hastings gave up the frontal interception, and even evacuated the strength of the large battalion, the real killer move was aimed at the tail of the assault force.

Adric heard the voices of the Odin people on both sides shouting to kill, but the voice did not come towards him, but swept away in the direction behind him! At this moment, Adric was faced with a huge problem!

Turn around and kill back!

Still is...... Keep moving!

As the commander of the 13th Corps, Adric finally gritted his teeth and shouted: "Forward!! Keep going!!"

Two torrents of black sè slammed into the route of the assault force from the left and right, and then suddenly converged, and at the forefront was the powerful class of Odin: the Berserker!

This kind of black bear with heavy armor rushed into the queue behind the palace, and dozens of black bear warriors quickly formed a wall, blocking the team behind the palace!

The cavalry of the Third Banner Regiment did not have a trace of fear, the cavalry roared wildly, and rushed forward with spears, and the cavalry running in front was soon swept down by the black bear's running and collision, and the cavalry who followed up waved their spears fiercely and greeted these behemoths in front of them.

The line was quickly pulled apart and then completely disjointed!

More and more Odin people poured up, and in a moment when dozens of black bear berserkers blocked the cavalry, their path was gone! When the cavalry paid a heavy price and finally stabbed down the dozens of behemoths in front of them, the ground was full of human corpses, horse corpses, bear corpses, and in front of them, the reindeer cavalry of the Odin people almost rushed in front of them!

There is no road ahead! Only the bright axe of the Odin!

The reindeer cavalry of the Odin people surrounded it layer by layer, like kraft candy, wrapping the army behind the palace of the Third Banner Regiment layer by layer, layer by layer, densely packed, and the pursuing troops of Ko Curan behind also forced up, they obviously changed their previous attitude of farewell, and the reindeer cavalry roared and chased after happily......

Then, there is, the dogfight!

The troops behind the palace had nothing to say, and they were fiercely interspersed with two wings of Odin during their run, and they were soon cut into three pieces, like three black sès sprinkled on the ground, and then they were wrapped in the dark clouds of more Odin.

The sound of blades slashing on armor, the sound of spears piercing flesh, the screams of warriors wounded and falling from their horses, the last cry before the death of life......

Iron and blood were inextricably blended together at this moment......

The camp gate of the garrison had been opened, and the heavy cavalry in the vanguard had rushed in, and Sosia was already exhausted, although Hastings had consciously released the water, but the heavy cavalry was at the forefront of the heaviest task of clearing the road, and they still lost about twenty percent of their troops, and the armor of each cavalry was no longer black, but a miserable red.

Then the fat man's infantry came running, and as soon as these guys from the Sixth Corps rushed into the gate of the garrison, they frantically threw themselves on the ground and gasped for breath, and half of the squads responsible for setting fire on all sides were trapped in the chaos.

When Adric entered the door with the remnants, there was not a single Odin soldier chasing behind him! In the empty battlefield, in the distance, the shouting and killing sound became thicker and thicker, and countless torches were lit up around!

Hasting's answer is clear: I don't have a big appetite, and it's enough to eat your royal troops!

Adric's heart was bleeding, he knew that one of his banners was trapped, but there was nothing he could do!

All the cavalry had exhausted the last of their strength! the heavy cavalry was no longer able to fight, and the Ruhr men were ...... You can't expect a group of infantry to die on the battlefield with bare hands exhausted after discarding most of their ordnance during three days and three nights of rapid marching!

Damn, I just need a new force! even if it's only a thousand...... No, five hundred! Even if only five hundred people rush out, maybe more brothers can be brought out!!

At this moment, Adric heard a deep roar!

"Get out of the way!!!"

This roar was full of anger, and then there was a powerful sound of horses' hooves running from the station! In Adric's experience, it was immediately clear that these horses' hooves were full of power!

A group of cavalry rushed out, although in Adric's eyes, this group of cavalry was really not sharp in terms of attire...... Only half of the horses are considered qualified war horses, but many more are like dwarf horses or even ...... Mules and horses?!

But the riders on horseback, with their straight waists and the sparkle in their eyes, fully showed their abundant physical strength and exuberant jīng strength!!

The rookie soldier who had just been collected for a short time ran at the front, he carried a battle axe, rushed to the front, the axe in his hand waved in the air, and a loud roar shook the audience!

"Come with me!Go and pick up our brother!!"

The horses' hooves roared, and one by one the cavalry roared loudly, and they followed Char, and the formation swept away from Adric like a violent wind, rushing out of the wide open camp gate!!

At this moment, the charging momentum of only two hundred horsemen is like a thousand horses!
