King’s Kingdom

Chapter 60: The power of the Varangian Guard

Sir Ledwin's voice fell, and there was only a commotion on the city wall. No one could hear what the group of defenders fell to the ground and were talking in a low voice, like a swarm of noisy locusts.

At this time, Baron Ganlin was already full of despair. Not only did he fail to wait for the promise and surrender he imagined, but the king he was loyal to seemed to not care about this rebellion, and his only goal was to eradicate all the rebels.

His heart was full of remorse and pain. The fief that he had finally won was about to be lost like this. At this time, he no longer had much hope for his own survival, but he still hoped that his family could continue. Emerging families can continue to thrive.

"Don't mess! Don't mess!" Baron Gan Lin decided to make a last-ditch effort. He thought that maybe he could hold on long enough to let the other rebels mess up the situation even worse.

In this way, he still has some chances, and then the king will have to negotiate with himself and turn to surround and suppress other rebels.

Baron Gan Lin's method is very good. To be precise, this is the last way he can think of. If he wants to survive, he can only bet this time.

However, will things really develop as he imagined?

Although there was a commotion on the city wall, no one dared to stand up and choose to surrender directly. After all, the city wall was still under the control of Baron Ganlin. Before determining the attitude of others, no one dared to stand up against Baron Ganlin rashly. .

Opposing authority requires a leader. A single spark can start a prairie fire, but first, a fiery spark is needed. Obviously, among the more than 200 people on the city wall, there is no such spark.

"Siege!" Theodosius didn't say much, only a few words, but announced the beginning of a killing.

The middle-level officers conveyed Theodosius' orders and issued further offensive plans. The officers shouted loudly to the soldiers, pushed the battering rams and carried the ladders and slowly advanced towards the city wall.

This time, the Varangian Guards are the main attack. In the melee of the siege, their lethality is stronger than that of ordinary soldiers. This group of strong men with sharp weapons and sturdy armor is the battlefield. harvester.

"Release the arrows! Shoot!" Baron Gan Lin shouted loudly at the defenders wielding his long sword, but before his voice fell, a dense rain of arrows shot towards the city wall like locusts.

The defenders who had just stood up sparsely and were ready to shoot immediately fell several people, and the remaining soldiers were shocked by the killing, and they hurriedly retreated one by one, daring not to stand up again.

Baron Gan Lin, who was thrown down by his confidant and guard, had a look of horror on his face. He did not expect that the enemy's arrows would shoot so accurately, and the more than 400 arrows could control the landing point within a range of more than ten meters.

The morale of the defenders, who were not high, was even more depressed by this wave of arrows. They tried their best to curl up and hide behind the battlements, for fear that they would suffer this unwarranted disaster.

Looking at the city wall where no one dared to stand up, Theodosius nodded with satisfaction. The quality of these 400 elven bows is really excellent. Shooting at a distance of 400 meters can produce such an effect, which has surpassed all human beings. All bow weapons made.

"We have to find a way to dig out some more!" Theodosius no longer took today's battle to heart. He had already seen that the defenders on the city wall had no intention of fighting at this time, and let the Varangian guards go up. It is estimated that the victory will be established in ten minutes.

The development of things did not exceed Theodosius' expectations. When the ladder was firmly erected on the battlements, and before the battering ram was in place, the Varangian Guards had successfully occupied a piece of the city wall.

Many defenders did not dare to surrender when Baron Ganlin retained control, but when the first Varangian Guards climbed the city wall, a large number of defenders dropped their weapons neatly and knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands. .

And the Varangian Guards did not kill too much, because Theodosius had issued an order yesterday that after climbing the city wall, under the premise of ensuring safety, it was forbidden to kill the soldiers who surrendered.

As the commander of the Varangian Guard, Ivar was the first person to climb the city wall. Wearing heavy armor and holding a two-handed sword, he let out a terrifying roar like a behemoth of war.

Ignoring the surrenderer who was kneeling on the ground, he directly aimed at Baron Ganlin, who was being protected by the knights of the personal guard, who was retreating step by step.

"Where are you going!" Ivar roared, the heavy armor on his body seemed to have no weight, and he started running wildly on the narrow city wall.

The members of the Varangian Guards followed quickly, holding two-handed swords in their hands, and rushing towards Baron Ganlin along with Ivar.

"My lord! I'll block them!" A knight in heavy chain armor and a burqa turned back with a sword.

"Whoever stands in my way will die!" Ivar's dull roar was still shocking through the helmet, and he saw that he was facing the thrust of the opponent's long sword and suddenly swung the heavy sword in his hand.

His armor was not penetrated, and his two-handed sword was drawn on the shield of the knight's left hand. The huge force made him retreat several steps. Quickly twisting his body, he used the power of the rotation to swing the long sword again.

This time, the knight's luck was not so good. He only heard a muffled sound, and his helmet slumped instantly, and his entire neck was like a straw in a gust of wind, drooping softly on his back.

This knight's role is really limited. The city walls are in chaos, making Baron Ganlin's retreat full of obstacles, while the Varangian guards headed by Ivar have passed by mysteriously.

Therefore, in just a few minutes, Ivar followed up with more than two dozen Varangian guards. Baron Ganlin had more than a dozen personal guards and the remaining seven knights, but this could not protect his Safety.

Although the knights are strong in combat, facing these Varangian Guards, whose physical fitness is strong enough to close the gap in martial arts, it can be said that a dog can't bite a hedgehog, and their final shortcomings are also made up by their excellent armor.

Therefore, the last thirty or so combat power that Baron Ganlin could master was brutally chopped up by the Varangian Guards, dripping with blood.

The battle lasted for seventeen minutes. When Ivar walked out of the city gate by the collar of Baron Ganlin as if he was grabbing his prey, the siege was over.

"The battle is over, let's relax now!" Theodosius said to the aristocratic messengers from the Central Empire and the Northern Empire beside him, as well as some nobles from other places who were willing to fight with the Rhine Kingdom.

"This... This is the end?" The messenger of the Central Empire was a little stunned. The duke named Job couldn't understand why the battle was so quick.

In the absence of sufficient siege equipment, the castle that 200 people are defending is easy to hold for a month or two. It is really puzzling to capture the city within 17 minutes of the battle and capture the leader of the rebel army.
