The oak keel was plowed into the muddy land of the river beach, and Ross soldiers bravely disembarked on both sides.

Arrows planted in the soft ground, their fletchings are like harvested ears of wheat. Seeing the enemy appearing, the wounded who didn't want to die struggled to escape even if they squirmed, while the dying just wanted to end the pain as soon as possible.

The sword and the ax made the last merciful make-up, but there were also two Frankish soldiers who seemed not seriously injured, and were carried away after being hit with a sap.

At best, the boss wanted one or two "tongues" to provide information, so the Ross army had no reason to revive all the wounded.

"Enough of the captives, cut off the heads of the others! They say you can't go to heaven if you're decapitated. Let them be angry in hell."

The chief yelled so loudly that everyone recovered the arrows and began the final "destruction". The scene was once very bloody.

At the same time, the fleeing Franks had gone a long way. Banner Captain Quentin suffered another small setback. He can say that his loss of troops this time is still very small, but the morale of the army has suffered a lot. The soldiers were frightened by the inexplicable loss of javelins and arrows. It's everywhere, and it will take some time to complete the team.

This matter could not be reversed by him alone or by greeting a few more people by shouting loudly. Even if he shouted his throat, the people running around were still running around.

When he was in a state of desperation, he actually saw those Normans rowing ashore.

Quentin gritted his teeth on horseback, rejoicing that he and a group of heavy cavalry followed.

"Follow me! When they land, crush them!"

No one wondered whether this was a conspiracy by the Normans. Quentin, who had suffered twice, didn't care too much. He wanted to make up for the lost face.

Fifty or so riders smashed at the landing Ross like hammers, and the ground trembled slightly. The soldiers who were busy drawing arrows and collecting the trophies heard the shouts of their companions on the ship not far away, and the sound of horns representing "battle" one after another. As soon as they looked up, they saw the gold and iron horses running wildly towards them.

At this moment, the Ross people on board were already covering for the brothers on the shore.

The javelin was fired again, and such a deterrent shot could not stop the cavalry from continuing to advance.

"Don't be too busy! Let's retreat quickly."

At this moment, the half-stranded longship has piled up a lot of spoils. There are also some captured short wooden bows and iron helmets scattered on the ground, and many boots of the dead bodies have not been taken off. According to the old tradition, the Ross army would take some useful things from the enemy, even rags could be taken away and sold for money. Now that everyone has ignored it, a group of people rushed to put it on in embarrassment and even hilariously, and retreated to the waters in fear before taking a long breath.

The cavalry could not wade into the water, and the fleet could not land.

After the six torsion slingshots shot down a group of horses at the last moment, the Frankish cavalry retreated again.

One side is on the land and the other side is on the water, so the two parties can spend it like this.

Those cavalry are still within the range of the torsion slingshot, but the distance is already far away and the enemy's positions are scattered, so the killing significance of shooting is not great.

Vardy, who was ordered to act, did not hope to destroy the opponent's thousands of people with the three hundred people at hand. Sometimes insulting the enemy's personality is more destructive than killing. Of course, Vardy can preach like this, calling on the brothers to lift up their clothes again, and continue to make indecent gestures at the enemy, accompanied by endless Frankish swear words. The brothers are still heroes who are willing to fight each other. Fortunately, they are not stupid, so they have to obey Wadi's request.

For a while, the long boats lined up in a single column, wearing white and wriggling things, and they formed a long "white wall" that stretched for a long time. Quentin and his cavalry had already retreated far away. They all saw clearly what the disgusting thing was, and what they heard was even more disgusting.

"Damn, they're yelling at us. I'm so **** off! I'm so **** off!"

What could Quentin do in a bout of impotent rage? He thought of a trick, which took a while to gather the loud soldiers in the team. He had only one order: "Like them! Swear at them! Don't worry about swearing against morals. How to deal with the Normans?" Anything works!"

The two sides fell into a scolding war.

The Russian army on board never thought that geothermal could still

Tit-for-tat has always been the only way for brothers to fight together with the Viking battle cry, how can the enemy do the same.

Vardy was furious, and his brothers even more so.

"It's all like this, why don't you log in and hack them to death?" Some soldiers couldn't stand the humiliation.

"I know you're angry, but we have to bear it!"

"I can't bear it anymore!"

"Continue to endure!" Vardy is insisting on patience, his own face is flushed with rage.

Fortunately, this veteran was more sensible and did not rashly launch a beach landing. One of the reasons why they continue to stand still is to buy time for the rear army to assemble. Vardy knows that the scolding and harassment are all for the purpose of exhausting the enemy, and at night, the brothers will continue to organize manpower to make noise to make the enemy uneasy, and even try to sneak in at night.

Of course, you can go downstream to ask for reinforcements, but it is incumbent on the brothers to rely on the local military force to annihilate the invading Zhongwang army and take back Koblenz, which is related to the honor of the brothers.

No matter how it is explained, the Ross army stationed in Nassau did give up Koblenz with almost no resistance. It can be said to be a trick and has a bad reputation.

The scolding battle here is huge, both sides are tired of cursing, and suddenly a loud voice comes out and swears, and there is another large-scale scolding battle in a short while.

At the same time, a fleet of ships circumnavigated the bend of the river, broke away from the cover of the riverside forest, and appeared impressively on the river.

"That's Koblenz. Boss, it's on fire."

"Keep rowing, and be vigilant." The sullen blue fox didn't want to say much. He rowed with other brothers, and he had to go to Nassau as soon as possible to add strength.

After a while, people with sharp eyes saw the ships frozen on the river.

Isn't that our ship? !

"Boss, turn your head and look. It's our longship!"

Hearing a roar from his subordinates, the blue fox who turned around saw this grotesque scene.

The small fleet was sailing against the current. On their starboard side was the Koblenz residential area where the fire was still open, and on the left side was the barren flat land and dense forest by the river. All the longships in the fleet flew the Ross flag high on their masts, which happened to be the same flags that were fixed on the river.

From the point of view of the Frankish army, it was clear that the Normans had summoned reinforcements.

New nine boats? Didn't there come at least four hundred enemies?

Quentin's heart tightened, "Damn it, are you delaying deliberately while waiting for reinforcements? Are you ready to land for a decisive battle now?"

He ordered to evade for the time being, and began to publicize the imminent decisive battle to his subordinates. The soldiers who had been tossed a lot heard that a battle was about to take place, and the soldiers in armor quickly returned to the team. Everyone deliberately hid in a distant place and lined up to wait for the landing battle.

However, the decisive battle did not.

At least not today.

When the fleet turned round, Vardy recognized the old master who stood up at a glance.

"Boss! Why... you came here suddenly."

"It's you?! Wadi, what are you doing? And those people? Enemies?" Although the blue fox had already guessed almost everything, he still needed to ask.

"It's the Franks! As you can see, Koblenz was destroyed by them."

"I've seen it all. Are you all okay? Such a tragedy, didn't many people die? Where's my brother?"

"Everything is fine." Vardy's gratified smile proved that the Ross Army is fine.

They negotiated on the river, and the blue fox finally got some detailed information.

According to the available information, no matter how you think about it, Blue Fox thinks that King Lothair's counterattack this year is to take the lost Koblenz. Sure enough, the war cannot be carried out according to the ideas of the Ross Kingdom. Now that something like this has happened, the plans of the Ross Expeditionary Force must be adjusted.

"Fortunately, I made a correct judgment." Blue Fox sighed in relief.

He had just arrived, and his appearance made the brothers feel that it was clearly a divine soldier, and there were only more than a hundred reinforcements in sight.

In fact, it is not the case. When Vardy learned that there will be a thousand-strong Russian army in as soon as a week.

Putting into the battlefield, what else can Vardy say? He just held his chest and sighed to his former boss: "You are as clever as Rurik."

Since Vardy and his team are performing the tactics of exhausting the enemy, let's continue to scold them. The blue fox said a little more: "At night, on the other side of the river, light the bonfire with all you can, beat the drums and horns more, and scare them crazy."

The small fleet carried some production and living materials and continued to carry out the original task. Blue Fox was very happy that the small Lanstein fishing village at the mouth of the Lan River had become a temporary large settlement.

According to tribal thinking, population is more important than land. Most of the inhabitants of Koblenz were moved across the Rhine and settled in Lanstein. If Nassau, controlled by the younger brother Black Fox, wants to rise, it needs to control as many people as possible to a large extent. Koblenz, which was only occupied last year, is still a little far away from Nassau Village, and the main channel of the Rhine River, which is about 300 meters wide, is separated by a natural barrier.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the war, all the peaceful residents moved to the other side of the river. After the war, many people will definitely not go there, because they want to continue their lives.

The small fleet suddenly entered Lanstein, and the stationed black fox thought it was Wadi who had been sent out and came back early.

After all, almost as many ships arrived as were sent out, and at first glance they did. However, Heihu took a closer look and saw his second brother's thinned face, he was as happy as if he had picked up a piece of gold.

He was more than happy. Hearing that the blue fox was coming, Robert and his wife hurried to the small pier. The family needed cash, and their bodies shook involuntarily with excitement at the thought of getting the money right away.

Just as the Roberts hoped, they watched many heavy suitcases being moved down.

There is a saying that the implementation of the contract must be done grandly. Blue Fox deliberately opened all the suitcases in front of the Robert family in public.

Now, present are Earl Robert and his wife, five vassal knights, the blue fox and black fox brothers, and even the priest Conrad and the identity Bachbert as witnesses.

Good people with huge sums of money are also prone to evil intentions. Blue Fox needs a lot of witnesses to prove that the money has been transferred to Robert.

Just as the blue fox thought, Robert's legs softened when he saw the money, and he stood up steadily thanks to the support of the two knights.

"Five hundred pounds of silver coins, divided into five boxes. Yours!" Blue Fox said very simply.

"Ah?! So much? I remember that what you promised last year... was the last payment of 300 pounds for this year."

"What? Too much?"

"No no...hehe, the more money the better."

"I was supposed to give you three hundred pounds. But what?" The blue fox shrugged and pointed his big hand to the east: "King Ross has a lot to do with your current situation. Although we were rivals in the past, there is no reason for us to fight each other." .King Ross will give you some more money, this is to help you make a comeback. Take care of your subordinates, and when you come to Tours in the future, our good relationship should also be maintained.

This is actually a speech of the blue fox.

Regarding this matter, Rurik did not give money at all, but sent his de facto eldest son, the legal King of Mercia, Regraf, and served as Robert's follower in future **** operations. If it is true that money was given, it is not within Robert's control. This is the funds for activities sponsored by his son in the southern Frankish world in the future.

For a son to serve as a servant to a down-and-out earl, such courtesy must be better than a thousand pounds of silver coins, because the political power behind it is infinite.

After all, the down-and-out Robert needs international influence. He can't do this by himself, and the big shots help him.

International influence is invisible and intangible, but it is really useful at critical times.

At this moment, Robert's old-fashioned wife is largely more influential.

In fact, Blue Fox gave two hundred pounds more silver coins, which was not much money. He holds a heavy army and has the capital of "Stud". If the money is gone, he can just grab it, not to mention that this year he plans to sneak attack the wealthy Maas River Basin. This year, he personally put all his cash on it.

No, the blue fox used his speech skills again, and took out genuine northern jewelry-a necklace of colored glass beads mixed with amber.

The necklace is deliberately exaggerated, no matter how you look at it, it is a huge treasure

The stones are strung together, making it heavy, but worn around the neck can definitely show the aristocratic affluence in an exaggerated form.

But its actual value is not expensive.

With a huge amount of cash, the down-and-out nobles can quickly recruit a group of mercenaries to make a comeback. As for the Countess, Adelaide, the second daughter of the old Earl of Tours, she took the necklace with an exaggerated smile on her crow's feet face. This smile lacks beauty, but Blue Fox still said a few good words: "Madam wearing this northern jewelry will make you 30 years younger."

"Well said. Joseph (the Christian name of the blue fox), you are a noble northerner. When I get to Tours, I will tell my brother your kindness."

"That's thanks to Madam's kind words." After saying that, Lan Huzhen bowed slightly like a devout priest.

It doesn't matter whether it's a play on the surface or it's really from the heart. The moment the money is handed over means the contract is reached, so that his sister-in-law Sophia Nassau officially becomes the Earl of Lyingau.

Even so, the Barony of Nassau is still the core of the current huge territory, and it is more appropriate to call it the Earl of Nassau.

Since the founding of the Bo Kingdom, it has been facing the Koblenz crisis. Retaking the territory on the other side of the river can be described as a battle for the founding of the Bo Kingdom.

Now is by no means the time to celebrate the formal establishment of the Earl Kingdom, what is now considered is fighting.

The two young men were present at the moment of "gifting the money". The two were ignored by Robert, who was open-eyed when he saw the money, and they didn't know their identities until he got the money.

One is the real king of Mercia, Rurik's de facto eldest son Regalaf, and the only daughter of the last princess of Mercia. This identity has even been recognized by the Pope of Rome, after all, her godfather is the northern archbishop Eskill. It's just that Reggraf is still too young. Two years ago, Robert had a relationship with him. Unexpectedly, this child was asked by Rurik to be his follower when he went south. Even largely as Ross's special envoy.

The other young man was Bruno, the eldest son of the former Count of Westphalia and today the Duke of Saxony. This child Robert is actually no stranger, after all, the distance between Ingol and Westphalia is not very far. The nobles are very particular about marriage, and Robert has reason to know a little about the children of his noble neighbors.

Today's Bruno is dressed as a Norman, or puts on a beautiful costume, no matter how you look at it, he is a Ross warrior. If the boy didn't declare his family name in fluent Frankish, it would be easy to cause misunderstanding.

Dressed up as a Norman to fight, Bruno was reluctant at first, but after doing the ideological work, he took the initiative to jump on the boat of the Ross.

Can the boy fight? Perhaps it was too much for him to take part in the attack on the Aachen boy. However, if he went to Tours with the Robert family, as the eldest son of the Duke of Saxony, he would undoubtedly add political capital to himself in the future.

But for this kid to wear this suit, it would be unreasonable not to participate in a little battle. Sooner or later, Bruno will become a military nobleman. This is an irreversible obligation.

Isn't there an opportunity right now~www.mtlnovel.com~?

To take back Koblenz, the nobles gathered in the fishing village of Lanstein reached an agreement.

The blue fox is here! The warrior general is here! There are even a thousand elites rushing at full speed in long boats.

The passive situation will be reversed in an instant? Happiness came a little too soon.

Reinforcements are on their way, and the Normans will far outnumber the Middle Kingdom's army. The Norman army will not attack the Koblenz refugees, will abide by the contract, and will only annihilate the Zhongwang army that set fire to the city and slaughtered endlessly.

Two pieces of good news don't matter. As night fell, the refugee camps in the huge Lane estuary area quickly learned of these exciting and good news.

The people feel that they have won the battle, and they only need to wait a while before the war is over and they can go back and rebuild their lives.

However, the fate of the people cannot be decided by themselves, after all, they have all reached the north bank of the Lyin River.
