On August 23, the Great Wall of Hadrian, which had protected the English for hundreds of years, announced the change of hands. When the news came, he had received letters for help and mobilized national troops. He led a 50,000 army to reinforce the front line and almost fainted. The entire English army was also wailing. Countless English soldiers cried bitterly. Later, this day was designated as the day of the National Weapon. Emperor Alfred seized the opportunity to promote the significance of this matter. In order to inspire the morale to fight bravely.

Therefore, in the eyes of truly excellent orator-makers, both victory and failure can be used as a topic to inspire the morale of the army. Although the method is slightly different.

Immediately afterwards, the English army divided into two groups, with the main army led by Emperor Alfred to head straight to Yorkshire and arranged a second line of defense. On the other side, there were light cavalry composed of nearly a thousand Hobbilla Rangers, horsemen and horsemen militias, and at least two thousand English longbowmen. They advanced along the western front and the dense forests.

Raids, enemy rears, and crazy killing and plunder. An army with a small number but absolutely outstanding combat effectiveness entered the heart of Scotland after bypassing the vast jungle of Cumbria. Immediately afterwards, the mainland of Scotland was alarmed repeatedly. The capital Edinburgh was shocked three times a day. Many noble ministers took the opportunity to advise Kenneth I and reconstructed the covenant with the English. Just stop when they were ready.

Kenneth I was in a dilemma and didn't know how to make a decision. And such a situation in China indirectly affected the Scottish army on the front line. The Scottish army, which had a total of more than 20,000 people, made Egil and Wald look up to it with their brave attitude and violent fighting spirit of not fearing death.

"What a great cannon fodder. It would be a pity if I didn't use it."

Therefore, Egil and the two foreigners tried their best to persuade Scottish commander William Wallace, and wrote a letter to Kenneth I. Of course, because both sides did not understand the language, they had to translate it for Kenneth I. It was a little troublesome. They said that England was Scotland's biggest evil neighbor. Although Scotland temporarily won some victories, the power of England was still there. If it was not completely eradicated, Scotland would never have peace when its strength recovered.

In Scotland, the tendency to hate England is also obvious. The pro-war faction is no less than the pro-political faction. He is very righteous. He speaks of nationalism and keeps his patriotism. He dresses himself up like a kind-hearted person, but is quite deceptive. At the same time, the spies under the nameless brother also clearly understood the situation of the enemy troops secretly sneaking into Scotland.

"This beast is named Edward, Earl of Chester, Duke of Normandy, Duke of Cornwall, Duke of Aquitaine, Prince of Wales. Edward IV. He is thirty-six years old. He is said to be the strongest longbow commander in England." After hearing the spy leader's words, Edge basically understood. This guy is the strongest and cruelest British general in the legendary Hundred Years of War in Britain and France. He led the longbow soldiers to shoot French troops into scum.

However, in this world, Edward IV had little to do with England - although his mother was an Englishman, according to relatives, he also called Alfred uncle. However, his fiefdom, the Duke of Normandy, and the Duke of Aquitaine, were both within the Kingdom of France.

"What agreement does he have with Alfred have? Why did he help the English?" Egil asked.

"It is said that Alfred promised that after defeating us, he admitted Edward IV's inheritance of the throne of England and granted him the entire Wales. At the same time, he also granted him a large area of ​​land in Cornwall. With these three conditions, he borrowed five thousand professional troops with strong combat power from Normandy, as well as Edward, an ally." Wuming continued to report.

"Oh-this is a huge sum of money." Egil sighed.

"Actually, it's understandable. After all, Alfred himself has no offspring. Edward is the strongest among his juniors. And his relatives are very close." Wuming said.

"I understand, thank you for your hard work. Send someone to hand over this information to the Scotland side." Egil ordered. After that, Wuming nodded, turned around and disappeared quickly. Egil felt helpless about this subordinate who always liked to go high. However, for the sake of this guy's really useful face, Egil decided to turn a blind eye to his behavior.

Two days later, Kenneth I's decision was finally issued: order Wallace to select more than 5,000 troops to return to the country to defend and defeat, and at least drive away the bandit army led by a certain prince - of course, it should be called the current bandit army led by a certain duke. Wallace himself and the main Scottish troops did not need to come back and could continue to form a coalition with his allies and continue to attack England.

Kenneth I's decision made Egil breathe a little relieved. In this way, some candidates for cannon fodder were also settled.

However, Edgeel is not confident about whether the simple Scottish army can defeat or even expel Edward IV. After all, the black prince - I mean the duke - can be regarded as a famous general in history. He brought 1,800 people against France and more than 7,000 people. In the end, he won a great victory and arrested the king. If William Wallace personally took action, his equipment was slightly worse with superior troops and home battles. However, it should be fine to win. But Wallace did not take action himself, but changed to an ordinary Scottish general - Edgeel was not paying attention. Then, Scotland basically had no hope.

"But what does this have to do with me?" Edgeir thought without integrity at all: and all the information about Edward - of course, not including outstanding achievements in another world - of course, if Edgeir wrote this, most people would only regard him as a lunatic - told the Scots completely. The Scots also made their own choices.

So, it was all self-inflicted. Egil had no psychological pressure at all.

Immediately afterwards, on the fifth day of the capture of Hadrian's Great Wall, on August 28, the Three Kingdoms coalition forces rushed towards York, an important city in central England.

At this moment, the coalition forces included more than 8,000 Norwegian Army, including one hundred engineered troops and ten crossbows. They were all well-equipped and well-trained regular professional troops, as well as more than 3,700 navy and hundreds of warships. They included forty-two light crossbow warships equipped with scorpion crossbows (six light crossbow warships returned to their country as escort ships, carrying spoils and slaves).

The dwarf army was 21,000, all equipped with armor. It was impossible to tell whether it was a regular army or a temporary dwarf infantry. However, the investigation of the spies under Guergil's army. Its troops were as follows: elite dwarf warriors - dwarf phalanx infantry, which was the strongest unit of the dwarf, with a total of 1,500 people, all equipped with chain composite armor, heavy spears, flying axes, battle axes and large shields. Its combat power was much stronger than the professional Viking warriors under Egil's command.

Dwarf Tomahawk Commando. Elite Dwarf Assault Warriors holding long-handled tomahawks - their selection of soldiers mainly depends on the legs. Leg length is preferred - because they can run faster. There are a total of one thousand such troops, and they are also equipped with composite armor with a chain and a heavy weight of two-handed tomahawks. According to the description of the spy who saw the first Hadrian siege, such a two-handed tomahawk warrior is much better than the Viking Death Assault Warriors carefully cultivated by Egil.

The dwarf heavy crossbowman. He holds an exquisite crossbow made of all steel, equipped with axe and round shield, as well as heavy chain armor, and can be used for long-range and close combat, with a total of 2,500 people. It is estimated that he is better than Egil's strongest long-range crossbowman at present.

"...What's wrong with your sister's all being stronger than my army? Even if this is the truth, you don't have to repeat it three times at once? Do you want to mess around with your sister?!" After Egil heard the third "stronger than you", he finally couldn't sit still. He jumped up and punched the spy who had no eyesight. Then he asked the two guard knights to "drag it out and fight to the death!"

Afterwards, the spy leader Wuming swallowed, walked carefully to Egil, and then returned.

"Next, the number of enemies is the largest, with a total of more than 5,000 dwarf professional soldiers, and the dwarfs with a total of more than 10,000 people recruited militias. However, their equipment is the same, chain armor, helmets, small round shields and tomahawks. Their combat effectiveness is estimated to be..." Wuming swallowed again: "It should be similar to that of the Viking soldiers."

"Oh." Egil nodded and thought about it. The dwarf army was sufficient, well-equipped, high professionalism, and outstanding siege ability. No wonder the dwarf king Wald slapped his chest and boasted, saying that even if the dwarf sent troops himself, he could destroy the British Isles without the help of Norwegians.

Compared with the elite army of the dwarves, the Scots, who were also over 20,000, were all cannon fodder attributes. Except for a small number of noble soldiers in the Scottish Highlands and a small number of regular troops, the other nearly 20,000 troops were all without armor. Even the weapons were simple. Egil even saw some so-called highland soldiers who were careless and dirty, holding a wooden stick that they broke from some unknown place in their hands, so they dared to go to the battlefield.

However, although such a fool with a simple equipment is such a fool. However, the invisible and intangible but real thing of the "morality" of the Middle Ages of Cold Weapons is the key factor affecting victory or defeat. And these fierce and fierce highland people, which are comparable to some of the Vikings, seem to be much stronger in combat than those who are recruiting peasants and soldiers.
