Section 226 Naval Battle
Danish king Banuk stood on the wall of Muzhai. His soldiers cut down trees and brought stones to fill in the gap in the old Muzhai. The Norwegians sent a small group of troops to attack several times, but under the heroic counterattack of the Danes, they were repelled.
"How much food do we have?" Banuk turned his head and said to one of his vassals.
"We can't hold on for five days if all the food is added up."
"Concentrate all the food and allocate the minimum amount per person every day." Danish king Banuk ordered to the vassal.
"Yes, your majesty." The vassal replied to Banuk. When he turned around and was about to execute the order, he was stopped by Banuk.
"There are also to drive out the women, children and wounded who cannot fight, which will add some trouble to the Norwegians and not consume our own food." Banuk frowned and issued a cold order. In addition to soldiers, those who follow the army also serve the soldiers.
"But what if the Norwegians don't accept them?" said the vassal.
"That is God's will." Danish King Banuk raised his head, looked at the sky and said.
Soon, curses from women, children and wounded soldiers sounded in the Mu Village. They either cursed Banuk who abandoned them or begged in every way, but this had no effect at all. In the end, more than 100 women, children and wounded soldiers who could not fight were driven out of the Mu Village. As soon as they left the Mu Village, the wooden door behind them closed with a ping-bang.
"Dans drove out their women and wounded soldiers?" The Norwegian war lords gathered together, and they were also a little surprised to listen to their subordinates' reports.
"It's not surprising. If we were besieged in the Muzhai, we would definitely drive away those who could not fight in order to reduce food consumption." A war lord wiped the corner of his mouth with his hair that had hung to his ears and said to others.
"What should I do now? Kill those people?" Another war lord inserted his knife to the ground and said to the others.
"No, if we kill those people, the people in Muzhai will definitely fight with us."
"Will you treat them as slaves?"
"That's not OK. Now there is no slave ship coming. We still have to support them. We don't have enough food for ourselves."
"Let them go?" Some lords took the initiative to feel compassion and suggested to others, but they were quickly rejected because it was a war and no one could afford the price of being merciless.
In the dense forest, the wails of the helpless people echoed. They wandered between the two camps, falling down in the cold wind and hunger of the night, whether they shouted the old gods or the new gods before their death. The Vikings in both camps were indifferent to this, and their hearts were as cold and ruthless as iron stone.
The magnificent sea and endless waves, the Norwegian pirates would not always wander on the sea. They would usually wait for prey in a hidden island harbor. This time they did not rob, but the Norwegian war lords gave them several tasks. They demanded to cut off the assistance to the Danes from the Southern Kingdom.
"Wow wow wow wow." Pirates are usually taciturn when working. They sit on the rocks and listen to the sound of waves beating under their feet. Some people take out dried fish from their arms in boredom. This delicious food, which is naturally dried by the sea breeze, temporarily drives away their loneliness and boredom.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooo." Suddenly, a pirate took out his horn and blew it desperately. As the horn sounded, the pirate camp suddenly became busy.
"It's time to work, haha." The pirates shouted excitedly. They were not afraid of dying on the sea. What they were afraid of wasting their chance to die bravely and die on land in vain. If that were the case, Odin would refuse them to enter the Temple of Valhalla.
"It's a merchant ship of the southerners." The pirates boarded the Viking warships moored on the coast. They sat down and picked up the wooden pulp and rowed hard. The Viking warships rowed across the sea like arrows. They saw ships appearing from the south not far away.
"Southerns, it's great, it must be a merchant ship." The pirates were ecstatic. They needed a robbery to relieve their tense nerves. The cargo on the rich southern ships was enough to repay their patience.
"Stop, rush up." The Norwegian pirates laughed, and the speed of paddling was getting faster and faster. The battle axes and swords in the middle of their warships, and heavy round shields hung on the side of the ship. The countless battles made them very clear about their position. They rushed towards the clumsy southern ship like wolves, putting the springboard on them, and the pirates jumped onto each other's ships, enjoying the fun of fighting and the rewards of the spoils.
"It's Norwegians, they took the hook and raised the pole." Ron picked up the single-hole telescope, looked at the thirteen Viking warships that were approaching the merchant ships, and immediately ordered the sailors.
"Yes." The sailors immediately raised the six poles placed under the side of the ship. This weapon used to fight against the Slavs was re-modeled and equipped.
The Viking warships scattered and rushed towards the merchant ship like two clamps of crabs. They desperately wanted to get close to the merchant ship. The ships undulate in the waves. The poles on both sides of the merchant ship were erected. As long as the Vikings wanted to get closer, they would put them down. The mace at the top of the pole hit the Viking warship, causing the Viking warship to shake violently from left to right.
"Damn Southerners, do you think this will prevent us from getting close?" But the Norwegian pirates didn't care about this trick. Their warriors stood on the shaking boat, raised heavy round shields, and formed a shield wall.
"Shoot the arrow." Ron drew his sword and ordered.
"Swoosh swosh swosh swosh." The crossbowmen on the merchant ship immediately picked up the crossbow and shot it at the Viking warship, but the Norwegians equipped with round shields were not afraid at all, and most of the crossbow arrows hit the round shields.
"Haha, stupid southerners." The Norwegian pirates were proud, holding their battle axes and round shields, and roaring sounds from their mouths. The shaking hull and the splashing sea water could not stop them.
"Our crossbows don't work, they're coming." The sailors on the merchant ship looked at the Norwegians who were leaning over in shock. The hideous pirates were so terrifying.
"They are here." At this moment, the lookout hand at the top of the mast shouted at Ron below.
"That's great." Ron's face showed a happy smile. It was impossible for Arod to fight an unprepared war, and a fleet of Danes followed them.
"Not good, they are following a Danish fleet." When the Danish Viking ship appeared, the Norwegians also discovered it and reported to their respective leaders.
"What are you afraid of? There are only five ships. Can't we still beat them?" When the Norwegian pirate leader saw the Danes appearing, he couldn't help but sneer. The other party had only five ships and wanted to save the southerners. He was simply overestimating his ability.
"That's right, killing them just in time and asking for a bounty from the war lords." said the other pirates.
"Yes, rush up and kill the Danes first." The Norwegian pirates dropped the clumsy merchant ships, and they turned around and rushed towards the Danish ships that saw the dragon heads from afar. The viking blood of the Vikings made them howl with squealing exhaustion.
"Hurry, hurry up." The pirate leader was wearing an iron helmet and wearing a short chain mail. He grabbed the cable with his left hand, held a sharp battle axe with his right foot, and stepped on the dragon's head with his right foot, riding the wind and waves as majestic as a god of war.
"Hi, hey." The Norwegian pirates were plucking hard, their arms raised high, and Viking warships split the waves and rushed towards the Danish ships.
"Let's go over and we jump on their ship and split the guy who betrayed the gods on it in half." The Norwegian pirate leader stared at the Danish ships that were getting closer and closer. He paddled the battle axe in his hand, as if he had already felt the heat sprayed by the enemy's blood.
"Odin is on, what is this?" But when the Norwegian pirates rushed forward, they gradually found that they were facing five things they had never seen before. The five strange ships also rushed towards them, not afraid of the Norwegians' number advantage.
"Crazy, crazy." Danish warships also rushed straight into the middle of the Norwegian warship group in the wind and waves.
