Chapter 442: Confrontation with the main army of the kingdom of Ui Maine

Einar who had covered himself with the arrows heard the noise of the explosions created by the landmines, so a smile formed on his face.

So he got up and started firing the remaining bullets in his revolver. His soldiers did the same, so they started killing many enemies who had stopped due to the fear they were feeling from the explosions that had happened.

Because of this, the enemies ran towards the safety of their own troops as they did not want to continue facing the large number of casualties that Einar’s army was causing.

Seeing this, Einar made a sign of his hand to indicate to Ansgar to come closer to where he was.

Ansgar, upon seeing the signal walked through the trenches towards where Einar was. Because of the attack with arrows, he stopped in moments and after a few minutes he reached Einar.

“I want you to take 2000 soldiers and advance on the right flank, and I will advance with another 2000 soldiers on the left flank.

Remember to bring troops with shields to be able to stop enemy arrows. “

Einar then looked at Dreide seriously. “Dreide, I want you to stay in this place and how you walk the troops so that they continue to stop the enemy’s advance.

All you have to do is stay in your position. When I sound the war horn, the troops will have to prepare to attack the enemies that will run towards you.

We will make a pincer attack to lure the enemy to his death, I hope you can fulfill this order Dreide.

Remember that the lives of my soldiers are important as the warriors would be for your tribe. “

Dreide nodded and watched as Einar and Ansgar ran to organize the troops, Einar before going to the left flank with his soldiers.

He gave the order to the catapult to launch Norse fire, this as an extra defensive measure to start creating places on the battlefield which were traps for enemy warriors.

After this Einar took the soldiers from him and began to advance towards the left flank slowly but steadily, his path although it was covered by what was left of the blizzard.

He was completely free of enemies, so he was able to advance smoothly to extend his troops enough to surround the enemy.

He did not need to have a large concentration of troops to be able to make the enemy believe that he was superior because from the cover of the blizzard they would think they were surrounded.

With an order, the soldiers advanced, closing the fence against the enemy. When Einar met Ansgar’s troops, they closed the fence completely.

After this, they advanced a few meters and met the first enemy soldiers, who were extremely surprised by what they were killed quickly.

It was at that moment that after advancing another tens of meters they encountered the enemy camp so a battle began.

The warriors in the camp were quickly killed and outnumbered, this because they had not planned to defend the camp as they never thought that someone would attack them from the rear.

Because of the advance that the soldiers were having, the front line of the Ui Maine army attacked the line of trenches.

As the leaders feared that the attack from the rear would end up overtaking them because they did not know how many enemies there were, they made a bet so they began to charge towards the trenches.

Einar who was looking at that took out the horn from him and made a sound, with which the troops in the trenches started the massacre.

For their part, the rearguard troops did everything possible to continue pushing the enemies to the meat grinder that was the trenches.

The soldiers being completely cornered and increasingly pushed towards the line of trenches where they could not even get close because they were killed.

They tried to break the fence, but unfortunately for them it was too late because the mist from the blizzard had already lifted.

So the snipers and Crossbowmen were able to end the lives of the enemies in the fastest possible way.

What was left of the Ui Maine army, outnumbered and surrounded, simply surrendered, as they did not have the strength to fight the Nordic army.

Einar, seeing that they dropped their weapons, ordered them to raise their hands, so they were quickly arrested.

The enemies were then taken to the camp, on the other hand, Einar began with the task of counting their casualties and the number of enemies that had perished.

He knew that it was a lot of enemies because there were some places where even the corpses were buried in the snow.

During the rest of the day, the soldiers quickly cleaned up the large number of enemies that had died because it was dangerous to leave them rotting in the snow.

For they could create some kind of plague when winter will end and their corpses will thaw.

At night, Einar finally learned the numbers of dead and dead enemies in the Nordic army.

“6,729 enemy warriors killed and 39 Norse soldiers killed in combat.

567 enemy wounded and 128 wounded soldiers of varying degrees in the Nordic army.

Finally, 2672 soldiers captured. “

When reading that, Einar could only sigh because the number of dead and wounded was not very high, it showed that his army still had many things to improve.

‘I suppose I have to make wooden shields for the trenches, as arrows have a different parable from bullets.

Also need to upgrade the armor helmet, maybe I should use a Polish hussar helmet skin.

It should have the ability to resist arrows and avoid head damage from soldiers, although it could add extra defense by covering them in tanned leather.

The helmets being made of steel should be strong enough for most arrows. It should also be a good idea to add some steel shoulder pads to guarantee the defense of the upper part of the body.

Well, it seems that most of the dead were soldiers who were unlucky enough to get arrow shot in the head and shoulders. ‘
