Although I don’t know how the Gottarans had Danish slaves in their hands, the strong raid on the cavalry was a great success, and the Danish slaves who led the way made great contributions.
The cavalry rushed into the battlefield carrying the slave whose hands were tied. When the cavalry broke through the forest, the slave was directly thrown away.
He could run on the spot, but was stunned by the killing scene in front of him, standing on the spot like a dementia. The Swedes and Rus of the North, who tamed their horses and fought like the fabled Franks? He couldn't understand.
The cavalry settled the village like wind and clouds. Seeing that the pursuit of the fleeing fishermen's boats was ineffective, they cleared the battlefield on the shore. The cavalry roamed the battlefield where there were many corpses, did they stab the dead with their lances?
Many cavalrymen dismounted. They carried the round shields they were carrying on their left arms, drew their swords that glowed with cold light, and entered the longhouses in the most traditional warriors to search.
Soon, a group of women were pulled out by their hair. During the period, they were also counterattacked by those who hid. When a companion was ambushed and injured, the counterattack was brutal killing.
So far, Arik is still satisfied with the situation, but unfortunately some people still ran away.
He dismounted, and faced Fisk with his sword drawn towards the lake: "Look! Some guys still escaped. I asked you to chase, what about your actions?"
"What's there to say about me? Brother, do you still expect our cavalry to run on the lake? That's a bunch of cowards. Their determination to flee is far stronger than to fight. In my opinion, let them go to hell! Let's see our results. ."
Arik said angrily: "It's okay. It looks like we won our first victory."
More than 50 women were caught out. They just knew that their village was horribly attacked, but they couldn't understand the reason. They didn't even know the identity of the attacker.
They all saw that the people riding the monsters spoke the Norse language they could understand, but they killed their relatives and friends by violent means.
The woman dragged her infant and swaddle, including the children, and captured as many as 80 people.
Almost all of the prisoners were women, because those who looked like revenge were all killed, even seven or eight-year-old boys, if they had the heart of revenge, they would really take revenge. The young Ross cavalry knew this very well. Many cavalry warriors were only seventeen or eighteen years old, and most of them were **** and reckless. The sad and angry eyes caused the cavalry to be furious, and then they implemented the king's strategy of beheading and killing them.
To sacrifice Odin with a tragic slaughter and blood, to make the Gotaland people suffer, and to show the ruthlessness of the Rus army to the Swedish allies.
Now the butcher's knife can be stopped, and the remaining prisoners have completely lost their resistance.
Arik summoned the cavalry to see these cubs who had re-mounted their horses. After the first battle, they had accepted the "sacrificial sacrifice" of the enemy's blood and had become real warriors. Although they have complex expressions, some people look injured, and there are enemy bloodstains on their clothes, they have indeed grown and reliable.
"You won the first battle!" He shouted loudly, holding his steel sword high, then pointed the blade at the captive sitting on the ground: "Now! You can enjoy these spoils! Pick the women you like, they are yours! "
Arik is not talking nonsense. The cavalry looted and took the prisoners to be slaves. This was instigated by King Rurik before the war. However, the cavalry soldiers were cautious.
Fisk rode his horse over and asked, "We just won the first victory. Who can guarantee that the enemy will not suddenly counterattack. Now...is it really good?"
"Are you cowardly?!" Arik's rhetorical question was extremely loud, and Xu Yu shouted with a playful tone: "Fisk! Your three wives and concubines are all prisoners taken away by the battlefield, and they are not honestly giving birth to you children now. , listen to you honestly? What are you worried about now?"
Fisk smiled face to face, these words are not offensive, or even praise from Big Brother. He didn't think much about it, and then looked at this lake and swamp except for the empty village. Are there any enemies nearby?
"Then arrange for the brothers to plunder the spoils! Let's stay here for a day."
Then, in the woman's scream, Fisk ordered the cavalry to follow the decision of the elder brother Aric, and the cavalry can **** the prisoners. But a set of principles must be implemented, that is, after a man has captured a female prisoner, he will be his own slave. If the female prisoner is still carrying a swaddled child, then even the baby will be a slave.
"Slave" has a subtext. According to the unwritten rules of the Rus army, the soldiers must ensure the safety of the slaves when they capture them, and give them food and clothing to keep them warm. After the war, they will bring the slaves back to their hometown, and then based on the reason that Rus lacked population in the past. , gave birth to a child, and gave the slave the title of wife and concubine, and was eventually incorporated into the Ross camp.
It is precisely this principle that the young female prisoners are robbed, and the older ones are ignored.
The victors' desire to conquer was greatly satisfied, especially the sons of the Slavic farm Boyar nobles among the cavalry. In the past, they were forced to be sent to the king as cavalry under pressure, but now they suddenly experience the beauty of being a cavalry.
A Slav who lived on the shore of Lake Ilmen, although a native nobleman, originally spent his whole life dealing with planting wheat, and finally married a native daughter-in-law and lived an ordinary life.
Now the situation has completely changed. I am a Slav, and I actually kidnap a blond Varyag woman as a slave.
This kind of thing really gives the family a big face!
In addition, the cavalry evacuated and plundered the materials stored in the village, and the small amount of wheat found did not look good, so they were simply fed to the war horses.
They found a lot of dried fish, and they took a closer look at the prickly perch. Fortunately, the fishermen carefully shaved off the backbone of the fish.
If there is any exciting loot, it is some silver and copper coins found, but unfortunately there are not many.
The entire fishing village revealed poverty, and if they had not captured some young women, the cavalry would have felt no joy in their victory.
Some people became slaves, and some slaves were restored to freedom.
The Danish slave whose hands were tied was cut off. He even became a guest and was dragged to the bonfire booth where the generals of Ross were.
The seized pottery urn boils oatmeal, sprinkles a handful of salt, and puts in a piece of cheese. The final product is extremely delicious battlefield food.
Arik, who was loyal, had to thank this Danish guy for leading the way, and simply handed over a wooden bowl of boiled oatmeal.
"Eat! We gave you freedom as agreed, and this bowl of rice is a reward."
Let's see this Dane weeping like soybeans, holding up the bowl and eating it.
It was already evening, and the Ross cavalry had rested for an afternoon. They have indeed relaxed, and the basic defense is naturally there. The warriors kept their armor and clothing together, alertly paying attention to the surrounding situation, and also arranged some scouts to set up sentries outside the camp. If they found that the Gotalans were counterattacking, they would immediately sound the horn, and the cavalry would immediately mount their horses and take advantage of their mobility to avoid the edge.
Until now, there is no enemy, so the soldiers continue to eat oatmeal and grilled fish, and continue to play with their captives.
The Dane eats comfortably. His hands and feet are free. As for the future, he has already made a choice in his heart.
Arik asked again: "You are free now, and you can leave by yourself. But you should have no relatives, so what should you do now? We can give you a chance."
"I understand!" The Dane immediately replied very decisively: "I will join you. If you don't dislike it, I will work for you."
"Being a mercenary?"
"Yes! It's a mercenary."
"It's exactly what I want. We Ross accept any soldier who is willing to serve Ross."
"Then give me a sword and a shield. If you are going to continue to attack the Jotarans, I will definitely join the war."
Arik was very satisfied, and handed him a piece of grilled fish: "You don't seem to have a good life with these poor ghosts when you serve them as slaves, and we Russ people are not. You can't fight at all, it's you The information we know is very beneficial to us. What's your... name?"
"Boli Nadson."
A very common name.
"Okay Boley." Arik said: "Now you are ours! What you don't know is that a 10,000-strong army from the north is about to enter Gotaland, and we are just the vanguard of the king's army. We are the kingdom of Rus , There are also many Danish mercenaries in the Royal Army. You are not alone. I am Arik, the two swords Arik. Now tell me if there are any Jotaland villages nearby, and whether they have a huge stronghold?"
"It's... there is."
So, Boley, a Dane who turned into a mercenary, mentioned the two fishing villages that he knew existed nearby, and what he knew was the great stronghold of the Gotaland people on this lake - Wiesingerser ( visingsoe) fortress.
Boley said a lot. Aric, who was interested in listening to this guy tell his story, and Fisk, who was present, and a group of junior cavalry officers, all raised their faces solemnly.
The Rus and Swedes know nothing about the situation in the southern Götaland region, and the information they have learned in the past is only a few words that are seriously distorted.
However, one thing is not surprising to everyone. The Gotaland people are not weak. They seem to live their own lives in hiding in the southern highlands, and they are by no means completely isolated from the outside world. When the Danish tribes knew about them, they gathered to attack Gothenburg and loot. At the same time, the Gothalans also set out from Gothenburg to attack the Danes in Jutland.
Every now and then, someone was plundered into slavery, and this is how Bolly Nadosson ended up in the hinterland of Gotaland.
The fishermen used him as a livestock, and the Rus who suddenly invaded now regard him as a warrior. Bolly's imprisoned warrior's heart is revived. He can't talk about revenge on the Gotaland people now. Since the northern Rus Kingdom and the Swedes are marching south, and 10,000 troops are killed, the Gotaland people can't stand it. How much you contribute in the battle determines how much you can benefit from joining Ross.
Lake Witten is very huge, and the three villages in the north of the lake can only remain separated from each other due to the steep cliffs on the lake. The three villages are even farther away from the island in the southern lake. The so-called long boat is rowed from the north shore to the southern island of Visingose, which requires a whole day's voyage.
Since there were still two villages to be conquered, the generals sitting looked at each other and reached an absolute unity of attitude.
Arik and Fisk determined that tomorrow morning the cavalry carried the prisoners and rushed to the new target.
At another bonfire, the Pechenegs in the cavalry gathered to eat fish and meat, and the princess Bejahir sat here to discuss today's battle.
The little princess Bejahir is the top noble that the cavalry slaves will always fear. Even though their identities have changed dramatically, the little princess is the princess and the wife of King Ross.
Thanks to Bejahir's generosity, the Pecheneg cavaliers who dined together didn't feel too embarrassed.
They talked a lot in their native language, mostly about their comments on the Ross cavalry and their emotions about this unknown new world.
After a while, a messenger took Commander Arik's message and invited her to talk about the new expedition tomorrow.
Of course, the battle will continue, Bejahir hummed, accompanied by ten cavalry slaves, cavalry instructors, and squad leaders, and came to the big bonfire booth to listen to orders.
Of course, the language barrier is not a problem. There is a native translator who understands the Norse language. Communication is not a problem.
However, what Arik said undoubtedly angered this woman who was inspired to be a female warrior.
"What do you mean I'm redundant? I'm a good archer! It's you who are too reckless in today's battle."
Arik was choked. After all, this is his younger brother and sister. According to Viking tradition, she is equivalent to his own sister.
"Bejasil, do you have any advice for fighting?"
"Of course there is. Just follow the tactics of our Pecheneg people, don't charge blindly, defeat them with arrows, so that our people are not injured or killed. Even I know that a brother is injured, even with armor. It's not right to get hurt."
Arik didn't bother to argue with her. Of course, the Berserker had to scream and rush into the enemy line. Now that he has horses, he has to rush into the enemy line quickly to show the pride of the fighter. The wanton shooting of arrows can't be done by a little Pecheneg girl to educate herself, but it's just that there is no cavalry group to attack at all.
Bejahir's words were translated, and Fisk, the real commander of the cavalry, listened.
Fisk didn't want to listen to Arik's reckless remarks at all, so he gathered the cavalry good archers that night to arrange tactics.
The next day, the army set off again.
The prisoners were bound and placed on horseback, and the team moved quickly again.
Many soldiers have a hunch, whether the fishermen who let go yesterday told other villages the news. Always Arik this guy doesn't care, Fisker and the guys are mentally prepared after summing up.
They figured it out perfectly, but they weren't quite right.
The escaped fishermen naturally had someone tell the news to some fishing villages over there. The fishermen felt that the escaped guy's words were absurd. What is the enemy "riding a black monster" rushed into the village and slashed and slaughtered. Words were taken as bullshit, but the wailing wounded on the ship, and the special barbed arrows plucked from the corpses and pulled from the ship's deck, this exquisite arrows were completely different from those of the Jotalan.
The fishermen watched the fugitives leave, and then returned to their village to tell everyone the anecdote they encountered today.
The new village was aware of the danger, thinking that its location is quite closed, the surrounding lakes are all cliffs, and it is located on the low and flat near the east coast. The environment itself is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as you hold the pass between the cliffs, you can't escape by boat.
More than 400 people in the village immediately mobilized more than 200 men and women soldiers, everyone's life is still the same, it's a big deal to be on guard.
Naturally, some people think that everything is absurd remarks by deranged people, and even the villages in the north make up a pretense to scare everyone because of the contradictions caused by fishing in the past.
They at least started to be on guard, but...
Beneath the cliff is the lake water. The cold Lake Wettern washes the rocks on both sides. The accumulated erosion has created some tiny flat slopes on the cliff. Fishermen have built small piers and longhouses on the gentle slopes.
The new village community was originally the hometown of small Swedish tribes. They fled the war and threatened to move north. Although people went to empty buildings, the houses they left behind were seized by latecomers.
It is not difficult to find the next target. The Ross cavalry walked along the cliff by the lake in a grand manner, and then under the leadership of the guide Boley, it only took half a morning to reach the new target.
The "enemy riding a monster" actually appeared? !
When the cavalry formed a wall formation and stood high, behind them was the sun. The cavalry stood in the east and looked down at the village not far from the west. They saw that the fishermen were already making active deployments!
"Fisk, it looks like these guys know our existence, let's drop the prisoners first, and we'll rush over to kill them all." Arik said with a fierce face.
Fisk nodded, instructing his subordinates to throw all the prisoners away, and to strictly monitor the cavalry who were sent to fight yesterday.
Upon seeing this, Arik was overjoyed. He pulled out his steel sword in great spirits, took the reins and turned in a circle, then he shouted: "Brothers! Follow me!"
He really rushed up, but it was a real fight.
Until Arik realized that no one was rushing with him, he retreated back in anger, "Fisk, what are you doing?! Let you rush, what are you doing? Look at those fishermen who have set up their shield walls!"
Fisk sneered at the corner of his mouth: "I saw it. Brother, you should remember that I am the commander of the cavalry, and the specific operations are up to me. I am responsible to the king himself!"
"Damn!"
Arik stopped talking and simply ignored it.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the villagers listed the classic Viking shield wall. Everyone is a Viking, and they run away without fighting. Even if they survive, how can they hang around in Lake Wettern? Besides, the villagers didn't think they would lose.
What Fisk and Bejasil wanted was for the enemy to gather in close formation, even if they were stacked in a shield wall.
"Brothers! Take out your bows and arrows, we have plenty of arrows! Shoot them at them! Listen to my orders, let's go!"
The cavalry, led by Fisk, were still lined up in a wall and slowly advancing, and Fisk stretched out his thumb to aim at the shield wall of the enemy, and figured out the distance from each other according to the trick that Rurik taught a long time ago.
"It's now! Draw the bow! 45° angle! Projection!"
The young cavalrymen have all learned basic geometric knowledge, and also learned the so-called "arrow ballistics", and understand how to throw arrows to fly the farthest.
The three hundred cavalry began to shoot arrows freely, with a large number of recurve bows throwing whirling feather arrows, while another hundred cavalrymen with mounted spears watched.
The sudden arrows hit the fishermen's armed forces, who had never seen such tactics before. Although his log shield can effectively block the arrows, the arrows usually pass through the shield, causing damage to the left arm of the fisherman holding the shield.
Many people were injured by arrows, and they didn't hold on for too long before they started to lose their formation.
How can you pass up an opportunity to break the formation? Fisk then yelled at Arik: "Brother! Now you can rush."
"Okay! Ross, follow me!"
Arik didn't bother to complain about his little brother. His legs slammed into the horse's stomach, and the horse charged. The cavalry rushed down the gentle **** from a height, and the collision broke down the fishermen's armed forces.
In addition to a few boats escaping, the cavalry who entered the fishing village even shot arrows at the fishermen who were swimming to escape.
They ended a village without any losses, captured dozens of people, and then set their sights on another target.
The same tactics were performed again in the afternoon. This was the third battle. The cavalry defeated the last village without any losses.
Until now, the cavalry vanguard of the land troops led by Arik had essentially eliminated the Gotaland people on the north bank. The third village seems to have a large population, so there are more dead bodies and more people who have successfully escaped.
In the final battle, they gained a lot. Not to mention a group of slaves captured, there are actually a large number of cattle and sheep here, maybe a thousand head in total.
Now, all cavalrymen can hold a young female prisoner, and then engrave the name of the new owner with a knife to make a claim. They slaughtered cattle and sheep on the spot, and had a barbecue carnival in the camp next to the battlefield.
Boli, the leader, has repeatedly proved his role, and according to him, there are no new villages on the north side of the lake.
"Are there only enemies left in the far south? Are there thousands of them? It doesn't matter~www.novelhall.com~ Arik got the news, looked at Fisk's face again, and said angrily: "It's okay, We should rest for a while while guarding the spoils and captives. It is estimated that the king's fleet is about to enter the lake. Oh, and we'll have to wait for the follow-up infantry too. "
Now that Arik wants to continue to charge, the cavalry soldiers have to wait on the spot. Fisk didn't want the limited cavalry to break into the enemy's core. If they had to break through, they would have to wait until more than 1,300 land infantry arrived.
The ruins and corpses left on the road, as well as the horse dung on the road, are very obvious clues.
Finally, on the morning of the third day after the cavalry ended the battle, Longstall, Duke of Yermalen, accompanied by the elite infantry of the 1st and 6th Banners of Ross, completed the reunion with the cavalry.
In this way, Arik felt that he already possessed the ability to go all the way south and pierce through the fortress of the Yottaran Visingoth.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Although I don’t know how the Gottarans had Danish slaves in their hands, the strong raid on the cavalry was a great success, and the Danish slaves who led the way made great contributions.
The cavalry rushed into the battlefield carrying the slave whose hands were tied. When the cavalry broke through the forest, the slave was directly thrown away.
He could run on the spot, but was stunned by the killing scene in front of him, standing on the spot like a dementia. The Swedes and Rus of the North, who tamed their horses and fought like the fabled Franks? He couldn't understand.
The cavalry settled the village like wind and clouds. Seeing that the pursuit of the fleeing fishermen's boats was ineffective, they cleared the battlefield on the shore. The cavalry roamed the battlefield where there were many corpses, did they stab the dead with their lances?
Many cavalrymen dismounted. They carried the round shields they were carrying on their left arms, drew their swords that glowed with cold light, and entered the longhouses in the most traditional warriors to search.
Soon, a group of women were pulled out by their hair. During the period, they were also counterattacked by those who hid. When a companion was ambushed and injured, the counterattack was brutal killing.
So far, Arik is still satisfied with the situation, but unfortunately some people still ran away.
He dismounted, and faced Fisk with his sword drawn towards the lake: "Look! Some guys still escaped. I asked you to chase, what about your actions?"
"What's there to say about me? Brother, do you still expect our cavalry to run on the lake? That's a bunch of cowards. Their determination to flee is far stronger than to fight. In my opinion, let them go to hell! Let's see our results. ."
Arik said angrily: "It's okay. It looks like we won our first victory."
More than 50 women were caught out. They just knew that their village was horribly attacked, but they couldn't understand the reason. They didn't even know the identity of the attacker.
They all saw that the people riding the monsters spoke the Norse language they could understand, but they killed their relatives and friends by violent means.
The woman dragged her infant and swaddle, including the children, and captured as many as 80 people.
Almost all of the prisoners were women, because those who looked like revenge were all killed, even seven or eight-year-old boys, if they had the heart of revenge, they would really take revenge. The young Ross cavalry knew this very well. Many cavalry warriors were only seventeen or eighteen years old, and most of them were **** and reckless. The sad and angry eyes caused the cavalry to be furious, and then they implemented the king's strategy of beheading and killing them.
To sacrifice Odin with a tragic slaughter and blood, to make the Gotaland people suffer, and to show the ruthlessness of the Rus army to the Swedish allies.
Now the butcher's knife can be stopped, and the remaining prisoners have completely lost their resistance.
Arik summoned the cavalry to see these cubs who had re-mounted their horses. After the first battle, they had accepted the "sacrificial sacrifice" of the enemy's blood and had become real warriors. Although they have complex expressions, some people look injured, and there are enemy bloodstains on their clothes, they have indeed grown and reliable.
"You won the first battle!" He shouted loudly, holding his steel sword high, then pointed the blade at the captive sitting on the ground: "Now! You can enjoy these spoils! Pick the women you like, they are yours! "
Arik is not talking nonsense. The cavalry looted and took the prisoners to be slaves. This was instigated by King Rurik before the war. However, the cavalry soldiers were cautious.
Fisk rode his horse over and asked, "We just won the first victory. Who can guarantee that the enemy will not suddenly counterattack. Now...is it really good?"
"Are you cowardly?!" Arik's rhetorical question was extremely loud, and Xu Yu shouted with a playful tone: "Fisk! Your three wives and concubines are all prisoners taken away by the battlefield, and they are not honestly giving birth to you children now. , listen to you honestly? What are you worried about now?"
Fisk smiled face to face, these words are not offensive, or even praise from Big Brother. He didn't think much about it, and then looked at this lake and swamp except for the empty village. Are there any enemies nearby?
"Then arrange for the brothers to plunder the spoils! Let's stay here for a day."
Then, in the woman's scream, Fisk ordered the cavalry to follow the decision of the elder brother Aric, and the cavalry can **** the prisoners. But a set of principles must be implemented, that is, after a man has captured a female prisoner, he will be his own slave. If the female prisoner is still carrying a swaddled child, then even the baby will be a slave.
"Slave" has a subtext. According to the unwritten rules of the Rus army, the soldiers must ensure the safety of the slaves when they capture them, and give them food and clothing to keep them warm. After the war, they will bring the slaves back to their hometown, and then based on the reason that Rus lacked population in the past. , gave birth to a child, and gave the slave the title of wife and concubine, and was eventually incorporated into the Ross camp.
It is precisely this principle that the young female prisoners are robbed, and the older ones are ignored.
The victors' desire to conquer was greatly satisfied, especially the sons of the Slavic farm Boyar nobles among the cavalry. In the past, they were forced to be sent to the king as cavalry under pressure, but now they suddenly experience the beauty of being a cavalry.
A Slav who lived on the shore of Lake Ilmen, although a native nobleman, originally spent his whole life dealing with planting wheat, and finally married a native daughter-in-law and lived an ordinary life.
Now the situation has completely changed. I am a Slav, and I actually kidnap a blond Varyag woman as a slave.
This kind of thing really gives the family a big face!
In addition, the cavalry evacuated and plundered the materials stored in the village, and the small amount of wheat found did not look good, so they were simply fed to the war horses.
They found a lot of dried fish, and they took a closer look at the prickly perch. Fortunately, the fishermen carefully shaved off the backbone of the fish.
If there is any exciting loot, it is some silver and copper coins found, but unfortunately there are not many.
The entire fishing village revealed poverty, and if they had not captured some young women, the cavalry would have felt no joy in their victory.
Some people became slaves, and some slaves were restored to freedom.
The Danish slave whose hands were tied was cut off. He even became a guest and was dragged to the bonfire booth where the generals of Ross were.
The seized pottery urn boils oatmeal, sprinkles a handful of salt, and puts in a piece of cheese. The final product is extremely delicious battlefield food.
Arik, who was loyal, had to thank this Danish guy for leading the way, and simply handed over a wooden bowl of boiled oatmeal.
"Eat! We gave you freedom as agreed, and this bowl of rice is a reward."
Let's see this Dane weeping like soybeans, holding up the bowl and eating it.
It was already evening, and the Ross cavalry had rested for an afternoon. They have indeed relaxed, and the basic defense is naturally there. The warriors kept their armor and clothing together, alertly paying attention to the surrounding situation, and also arranged some scouts to set up sentries outside the camp. If they found that the Gotalans were counterattacking, they would immediately sound the horn, and the cavalry would immediately mount their horses and take advantage of their mobility to avoid the edge.
Until now, there is no enemy, so the soldiers continue to eat oatmeal and grilled fish, and continue to play with their captives.
The Dane eats comfortably. His hands and feet are free. As for the future, he has already made a choice in his heart.
Arik asked again: "You are free now, and you can leave by yourself. But you should have no relatives, so what should you do now? We can give you a chance."
"I understand!" The Dane immediately replied very decisively: "I will join you. If you don't dislike it, I will work for you."
"Being a mercenary?"
"Yes! It's a mercenary."
"It's exactly what I want. We Ross accept any soldier who is willing to serve Ross."
"Then give me a sword and a shield. If you are going to continue to attack the Jotarans, I will definitely join the war."
Arik was very satisfied, and handed him a piece of grilled fish: "You don't seem to have a good life with these poor ghosts when you serve them as slaves, and we Russ people are not. You can't fight at all, it's you The information we know is very beneficial to us. What's your... name?"
"Boli Nadson."
A very common name.
"Okay Boley." Arik said: "Now you are ours! What you don't know is that a 10,000-strong army from the north is about to enter Gotaland, and we are just the vanguard of the king's army. We are the kingdom of Rus , There are also many Danish mercenaries in the Royal Army. You are not alone. I am Arik, the two swords Arik. Now tell me if there are any Jotaland villages nearby, and whether they have a huge stronghold?"
"It's... there is."
So, Boley, a Dane who turned into a mercenary, mentioned the two fishing villages that he knew existed nearby, and what he knew was the great stronghold of the Gotaland people on this lake - Wiesingerser ( visingsoe) fortress.
Boley said a lot. Aric, who was interested in listening to this guy tell his story, and Fisk, who was present, and a group of junior cavalry officers, all raised their faces solemnly.
The Rus and Swedes know nothing about the situation in the southern Götaland region, and the information they have learned in the past is only a few words that are seriously distorted.
However, one thing is not surprising to everyone. The Gotaland people are not weak. They seem to live their own lives in hiding in the southern highlands, and they are by no means completely isolated from the outside world. When the Danish tribes knew about them, they gathered to attack Gothenburg and loot. At the same time, the Gothalans also set out from Gothenburg to attack the Danes in Jutland.
Every now and then, someone was plundered into slavery, and this is how Bolly Nadosson ended up in the hinterland of Gotaland.
The fishermen used him as a livestock, and the Rus who suddenly invaded now regard him as a warrior. Bolly's imprisoned warrior's heart is revived. He can't talk about revenge on the Gotaland people now. Since the northern Rus Kingdom and the Swedes are marching south, and 10,000 troops are killed, the Gotaland people can't stand it. How much you contribute in the battle determines how much you can benefit from joining Ross.
Lake Witten is very huge, and the three villages in the north of the lake can only remain separated from each other due to the steep cliffs on the lake. The three villages are even farther away from the island in the southern lake. The so-called long boat is rowed from the north shore to the southern island of Visingose, which requires a whole day's voyage.
Since there were still two villages to be conquered, the generals sitting looked at each other and reached an absolute unity of attitude.
Arik and Fisk determined that tomorrow morning the cavalry carried the prisoners and rushed to the new target.
At another bonfire, the Pechenegs in the cavalry gathered to eat fish and meat, and the princess Bejahir sat here to discuss today's battle.
The little princess Bejahir is the top noble that the cavalry slaves will always fear. Even though their identities have changed dramatically, the little princess is the princess and the wife of King Ross.
Thanks to Bejahir's generosity, the Pecheneg cavaliers who dined together didn't feel too embarrassed.
They talked a lot in their native language, mostly about their comments on the Ross cavalry and their emotions about this unknown new world.
After a while, a messenger took Commander Arik's message and invited her to talk about the new expedition tomorrow.
Of course, the battle will continue, Bejahir hummed, accompanied by ten cavalry slaves, cavalry instructors, and squad leaders, and came to the big bonfire booth to listen to orders.
Of course, the language barrier is not a problem. There is a native translator who understands the Norse language. Communication is not a problem.
However, what Arik said undoubtedly angered this woman who was inspired to be a female warrior.
"What do you mean I'm redundant? I'm a good archer! It's you who are too reckless in today's battle."
Arik was choked. After all, this is his younger brother and sister. According to Viking tradition, she is equivalent to his own sister.
"Bejasil, do you have any advice for fighting?"
"Of course there is. Just follow the tactics of our Pecheneg people, don't charge blindly, defeat them with arrows, so that our people are not injured or killed. Even I know that a brother is injured, even with armor. It's not right to get hurt."
Arik didn't bother to argue with her. Of course, the Berserker had to scream and rush into the enemy line. Now that he has horses, he has to rush into the enemy line quickly to show the pride of the fighter. The wanton shooting of arrows can't be done by a little Pecheneg girl to educate herself, but it's just that there is no cavalry group to attack at all.
Bejahir's words were translated, and Fisk, the real commander of the cavalry, listened.
Fisk didn't want to listen to Arik's reckless remarks at all, so he gathered the cavalry good archers that night to arrange tactics.
The next day, the army set off again.
The prisoners were bound and placed on horseback, and the team moved quickly again.
Many soldiers have a hunch, whether the fishermen who let go yesterday told other villages the news. Always Arik this guy doesn't care, Fisker and the guys are mentally prepared after summing up.
They figured it out perfectly, but they weren't quite right.
The escaped fishermen naturally had someone tell the news to some fishing villages over there. The fishermen felt that the escaped guy's words were absurd. What is the enemy "riding a black monster" rushed into the village and slashed and slaughtered. Words were taken as bullshit, but the wailing wounded on the ship, and the special barbed arrows plucked from the corpses and pulled from the ship's deck, this exquisite arrows were completely different from those of the Jotalan.
The fishermen watched the fugitives leave, and then returned to their village to tell everyone the anecdote they encountered today.
The new village was aware of the danger, thinking that its location is quite closed, the surrounding lakes are all cliffs, and it is located on the low and flat near the east coast. The environment itself is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as you hold the pass between the cliffs, you can't escape by boat.
More than 400 people in the village immediately mobilized more than 200 men and women soldiers, everyone's life is still the same, it's a big deal to be on guard.
Naturally, some people think that everything is absurd remarks by deranged people, and even the villages in the north make up a pretense to scare everyone because of the contradictions caused by fishing in the past.
They at least started to be on guard, but...
Beneath the cliff is the lake water. The cold Lake Wettern washes the rocks on both sides. The accumulated erosion has created some tiny flat slopes on the cliff. Fishermen have built small piers and longhouses on the gentle slopes.
The new village community was originally the hometown of small Swedish tribes. They fled the war and threatened to move north. Although people went to empty buildings, the houses they left behind were seized by latecomers.
It is not difficult to find the next target. The Ross cavalry walked along the cliff by the lake in a grand manner, and then under the leadership of the guide Boley, it only took half a morning to reach the new target.
The "enemy riding a monster" actually appeared? !
When the cavalry formed a wall formation and stood high, behind them was the sun. The cavalry stood in the east and looked down at the village not far from the west. They saw that the fishermen were already making active deployments!
"Fisk, it looks like these guys know our existence, let's drop the prisoners first, and we'll rush over to kill them all." Arik said with a fierce face.
Fisk nodded, instructing his subordinates to throw all the prisoners away, and to strictly monitor the cavalry who were sent to fight yesterday.
Upon seeing this, Arik was overjoyed. He pulled out his steel sword in great spirits, took the reins and turned in a circle, then he shouted: "Brothers! Follow me!"
He really rushed up, but it was a real fight.
Until Arik realized that no one was rushing with him, he retreated back in anger, "Fisk, what are you doing?! Let you rush, what are you doing? Look at those fishermen who have set up their shield walls!"
Fisk sneered at the corner of his mouth: "I saw it. Brother, you should remember that I am the commander of the cavalry, and the specific operations are up to me. I am responsible to the king himself!"
"Damn!"
Arik stopped talking and simply ignored it.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the villagers listed the classic Viking shield wall. Everyone is a Viking, and they run away without fighting. Even if they survive, how can they hang around in Lake Wettern? Besides, the villagers didn't think they would lose.
What Fisk and Bejasil wanted was for the enemy to gather in close formation, even if they were stacked in a shield wall.
"Brothers! Take out your bows and arrows, we have plenty of arrows! Shoot them at them! Listen to my orders, let's go!"
The cavalry, led by Fisk, were still lined up in a wall and slowly advancing, and Fisk stretched out his thumb to aim at the shield wall of the enemy, and figured out the distance from each other according to the trick that Rurik taught a long time ago.
"It's now! Draw the bow! 45° angle! Projection!"
The young cavalrymen have all learned basic geometric knowledge, and also learned the so-called "arrow ballistics", and understand how to throw arrows to fly the farthest.
The three hundred cavalry began to shoot arrows freely, with a large number of recurve bows throwing whirling feather arrows, while another hundred cavalrymen with mounted spears watched.
The sudden arrows hit the fishermen's armed forces, who had never seen such tactics before. Although his log shield can effectively block the arrows, the arrows usually pass through the shield, causing damage to the left arm of the fisherman holding the shield.
Many people were injured by arrows, and they didn't hold on for too long before they started to lose their formation.
How can you pass up an opportunity to break the formation? Fisk then yelled at Arik: "Brother! Now you can rush."
"Okay! Ross, follow me!"
Arik didn't bother to complain about his little brother. His legs slammed into the horse's stomach, and the horse charged. The cavalry rushed down the gentle **** from a height, and the collision broke down the fishermen's armed forces.
In addition to a few boats escaping, the cavalry who entered the fishing village even shot arrows at the fishermen who were swimming to escape.
They ended a village without any losses, captured dozens of people, and then set their sights on another target.
The same tactics were performed again in the afternoon. This was the third battle. The cavalry defeated the last village without any losses.
Until now, the cavalry vanguard of the land troops led by Arik had essentially eliminated the Gotaland people on the north bank. The third village seems to have a large population, so there are more dead bodies and more people who have successfully escaped.
In the final battle, they gained a lot. Not to mention a group of slaves captured, there are actually a large number of cattle and sheep here, maybe a thousand head in total.
Now, all cavalrymen can hold a young female prisoner, and then engrave the name of the new owner with a knife to make a claim. They slaughtered cattle and sheep on the spot, and had a barbecue carnival in the camp next to the battlefield.
Boli, the leader, has repeatedly proved his role, and according to him, there are no new villages on the north side of the lake.
"Are there only enemies left in the far south? Are there thousands of them? It doesn't matter~www.novelhall.com~ Arik got the news, looked at Fisk's face again, and said angrily: "It's okay, We should rest for a while while guarding the spoils and captives. It is estimated that the king's fleet is about to enter the lake. Oh, and we'll have to wait for the follow-up infantry too. "
Now that Arik wants to continue to charge, the cavalry soldiers have to wait on the spot. Fisk didn't want the limited cavalry to break into the enemy's core. If they had to break through, they would have to wait until more than 1,300 land infantry arrived.
The ruins and corpses left on the road, as well as the horse dung on the road, are very obvious clues.
Finally, on the morning of the third day after the cavalry ended the battle, Longstall, Duke of Yermalen, accompanied by the elite infantry of the 1st and 6th Banners of Ross, completed the reunion with the cavalry.
In this way, Arik felt that he already possessed the ability to go all the way south and pierce through the fortress of the Yottaran Visingoth.
Although I don't know how the Gottarans had Danish slaves in their hands, the strong raid on the cavalry was a great success, and the Danish slaves who led the way made great contributions.The cavalry rushed into the battlefield carrying the slave whose hands were tied. When the cavalry broke through the forest, the slave was directly thrown away.He could run on the spot, but was stunned by the killing scene in front of him, standing on the spot like a dementia. The Swedes and Rus of the North, who tamed their horses and fought like the fabled Franks? He couldn't understand.The cavalry settled the village like wind and clouds. Seeing that the pursuit of the fleeing fishermen's boats was ineffective, they cleared the battlefield on the shore. The cavalry roamed the battlefield where there were many corpses, did they stab the dead with their lances?Many cavalrymen dismounted. They carried the round shields they were carrying on their left arms, drew their swords that glowed with cold light, and entered the longhouses in the most traditional warriors to search.Soon, a group of women were pulled out by their hair. During the period, they were also counterattacked by those who hid. When a companion was ambushed and injured, the counterattack was brutal killing.So far, Arik is still satisfied with the situation, but unfortunately some people still ran away.He dismounted, and faced Fisk with his sword drawn towards the lake: "Look! Some guys still escaped. I asked you to chase, what about your actions?""What's there to say about me? Brother, do you still expect our cavalry to run on the lake? That's a bunch of cowards. Their determination to flee is far stronger than to fight. In my opinion, let them go to hell! Let's see our results. ."Arik said angrily: "It's okay. It looks like we won our first victory."More than 50 women were caught out. They just knew that their village was horribly attacked, but they couldn't understand the reason. They didn't even know the identity of the attacker.They all saw that the people riding the monsters spoke the Norse language they could understand, but they killed their relatives and friends by violent means.The woman dragged her infant and swaddle, including the children, and captured as many as 80 people.Almost all of the prisoners were women, because those who looked like revenge were all killed, even seven or eight-year-old boys, if they had the heart of revenge, they would really take revenge. The young Ross cavalry knew this very well. Many cavalry warriors were only seventeen or eighteen years old, and most of them were **** and reckless. The sad and angry eyes caused the cavalry to be furious, and then they implemented the king's strategy of beheading and killing them.To sacrifice Odin with a tragic slaughter and blood, to make the Gotaland people suffer, and to show the ruthlessness of the Rus army to the Swedish allies.Now the butcher's knife can be stopped, and the remaining prisoners have completely lost their resistance.Arik summoned the cavalry to see these cubs who had re-mounted their horses. After the first battle, they had accepted the "sacrificial sacrifice" of the enemy's blood and had become real warriors. Although they have complex expressions, some people look injured, and there are enemy bloodstains on their clothes, they have indeed grown and reliable."You won the first battle!" He shouted loudly, holding his steel sword high, then pointed the blade at the captive sitting on the ground: "Now! You can enjoy these spoils! Pick the women you like, they are yours! "Arik is not talking nonsense. The cavalry looted and took the prisoners to be slaves. This was instigated by King Rurik before the war. However, the cavalry soldiers were cautious.Fisk rode his horse over and asked, "We just won the first victory. Who can guarantee that the enemy will not suddenly counterattack. Now...is it really good?""Are you cowardly?!" Arik's rhetorical question was extremely loud, and Xu Yu shouted with a playful tone: "Fisk! Your three wives and concubines are all prisoners taken away by the battlefield, and they are not honestly giving birth to you children now. , listen to you honestly? What are you worried about now?"Fisk smiled face to face, these words are not offensive, or even praise from Big Brother. He didn't think much about it, and then looked at this lake and swamp except for the empty village. Are there any enemies nearby?"Then arrange for the brothers to plunder the spoils! Let's stay here for a day."Then, in the woman's scream, Fisk ordered the cavalry to follow the decision of the elder brother Aric, and the cavalry can **** the prisoners. But a set of principles must be implemented, that is, after a man has captured a female prisoner, he will be his own slave. If the female prisoner is still carrying a swaddled child, then even the baby will be a slave."Slave" has a subtext. According to the unwritten rules of the Rus army, the soldiers must ensure the safety of the slaves when they capture them, and give them food and clothing to keep them warm. After the war, they will bring the slaves back to their hometown, and then based on the reason that Rus lacked population in the past. , gave birth to a child, and gave the slave the title of wife and concubine, and was eventually incorporated into the Ross camp.It is precisely this principle that the young female prisoners are robbed, and the older ones are ignored.The victors' desire to conquer was greatly satisfied, especially the sons of the Slavic farm Boyar nobles among the cavalry. In the past, they were forced to be sent to the king as cavalry under pressure, but now they suddenly experience the beauty of being a cavalry.A Slav who lived on the shore of Lake Ilmen, although a native nobleman, originally spent his whole life dealing with planting wheat, and finally married a native daughter-in-law and lived an ordinary life.Now the situation has completely changed. I am a Slav, and I actually kidnap a blond Varyag woman as a slave.This kind of thing really gives the family a big face!In addition, the cavalry evacuated and plundered the materials stored in the village, and the small amount of wheat found did not look good, so they were simply fed to the war horses.They found a lot of dried fish, and they took a closer look at the prickly perch. Fortunately, the fishermen carefully shaved off the backbone of the fish.If there is any exciting loot, it is some silver and copper coins found, but unfortunately there are not many.The entire fishing village revealed poverty, and if they had not captured some young women, the cavalry would have felt no joy in their victory.Some people became slaves, and some slaves were restored to freedom.The Danish slave whose hands were tied was cut off. He even became a guest and was dragged to the bonfire booth where the generals of Ross were.The seized pottery urn boils oatmeal, sprinkles a handful of salt, and puts in a piece of cheese. The final product is extremely delicious battlefield food.Arik, who was loyal, had to thank this Danish guy for leading the way, and simply handed over a wooden bowl of boiled oatmeal."Eat! We gave you freedom as agreed, and this bowl of rice is a reward."Let's see this Dane weeping like soybeans, holding up the bowl and eating it.It was already evening, and the Ross cavalry had rested for an afternoon. They have indeed relaxed, and the basic defense is naturally there. The warriors kept their armor and clothing together, alertly paying attention to the surrounding situation, and also arranged some scouts to set up sentries outside the camp. If they found that the Gotalans were counterattacking, they would immediately sound the horn, and the cavalry would immediately mount their horses and take advantage of their mobility to avoid the edge.Until now, there is no enemy, so the soldiers continue to eat oatmeal and grilled fish, and continue to play with their captives.The Dane eats comfortably. His hands and feet are free. As for the future, he has already made a choice in his heart.Arik asked again: "You are free now, and you can leave by yourself. But you should have no relatives, so what should you do now? We can give you a chance.""I understand!" The Dane immediately replied very decisively: "I will join you. If you don't dislike it, I will work for you.""Being a mercenary?""Yes! It's a mercenary.""It's exactly what I want. We Ross accept any soldier who is willing to serve Ross.""Then give me a sword and a shield. If you are going to continue to attack the Jotarans, I will definitely join the war."Arik was very satisfied, and handed him a piece of grilled fish: "You don't seem to have a good life with these poor ghosts when you serve them as slaves, and we Russ people are not. You can't fight at all, it's you The information we know is very beneficial to us. What's your... name?""Boli Nadson."A very common name."Okay Boley." Arik said: "Now you are ours! What you don't know is that a 10,000-strong army from the north is about to enter Gotaland, and we are just the vanguard of the king's army. We are the kingdom of Rus , There are also many Danish mercenaries in the Royal Army. You are not alone. I am Arik, the two swords Arik. Now tell me if there are any Jotaland villages nearby, and whether they have a huge stronghold?""It's... there is."So, Boley, a Dane who turned into a mercenary, mentioned the two fishing villages that he knew existed nearby, and what he knew was the great stronghold of the Gotaland people on this lake - Wiesingerser visingsoe fortress.Boley said a lot. Aric, who was interested in listening to this guy tell his story, and Fisk, who was present, and a group of junior cavalry officers, all raised their faces solemnly.The Rus and Swedes know nothing about the situation in the southern Gtaland region, and the information they have learned in the past is only a few words that are seriously distorted.However, one thing is not surprising to everyone. The Gotaland people are not weak. They seem to live their own lives in hiding in the southern highlands, and they are by no means completely isolated from the outside world. When the Danish tribes knew about them, they gathered to attack Gothenburg and loot. At the same time, the Gothalans also set out from Gothenburg to attack the Danes in Jutland.Every now and then, someone was plundered into slavery, and this is how Bolly Nadosson ended up in the hinterland of Gotaland.The fishermen used him as a livestock, and the Rus who suddenly invaded now regard him as a warrior. Bolly's imprisoned warrior's heart is revived. He can't talk about revenge on the Gotaland people now. Since the northern Rus Kingdom and the Swedes are marching south, and 10,000 troops are killed, the Gotaland people can't stand it. How much you contribute in the battle determines how much you can benefit from joining Ross.Lake Witten is very huge, and the three villages in the north of the lake can only remain separated from each other due to the steep cliffs on the lake. The three villages are even farther away from the island in the southern lake. The so-called long boat is rowed from the north shore to the southern island of Visingose, which requires a whole day's voyage.Since there were still two villages to be conquered, the generals sitting looked at each other and reached an absolute unity of attitude.Arik and Fisk determined that tomorrow morning the cavalry carried the prisoners and rushed to the new target.At another bonfire, the Pechenegs in the cavalry gathered to eat fish and meat, and the princess Bejahir sat here to discuss today's battle.The little princess Bejahir is the top noble that the cavalry slaves will always fear. Even though their identities have changed dramatically, the little princess is the princess and the wife of King Ross.Thanks to Bejahir's generosity, the Pecheneg cavaliers who dined together didn't feel too embarrassed.They talked a lot in their native language, mostly about their comments on the Ross cavalry and their emotions about this unknown new world.After a while, a messenger took Commander Arik's message and invited her to talk about the new expedition tomorrow.Of course, the battle will continue, Bejahir hummed, accompanied by ten cavalry slaves, cavalry instructors, and squad leaders, and came to the big bonfire booth to listen to orders.Of course, the language barrier is not a problem. There is a native translator who understands the Norse language. Communication is not a problem.However, what Arik said undoubtedly angered this woman who was inspired to be a female warrior."What do you mean I'm redundant? I'm a good archer! It's you who are too reckless in today's battle."Arik was choked. After all, this is his younger brother and sister. According to Viking tradition, she is equivalent to his own sister."Bejasil, do you have any advice for fighting?""Of course there is. Just follow the tactics of our Pecheneg people, don't charge blindly, defeat them with arrows, so that our people are not injured or killed. Even I know that a brother is injured, even with armor. It's not right to get hurt."Arik didn't bother to argue with her. Of course, the Berserker had to scream and rush into the enemy line. Now that he has horses, he has to rush into the enemy line quickly to show the pride of the fighter. The wanton shooting of arrows can't be done by a little Pecheneg girl to educate herself, but it's just that there is no cavalry group to attack at all.Bejahir's words were translated, and Fisk, the real commander of the cavalry, listened.Fisk didn't want to listen to Arik's reckless remarks at all, so he gathered the cavalry good archers that night to arrange tactics.The next day, the army set off again.The prisoners were bound and placed on horseback, and the team moved quickly again.Many soldiers have a hunch, whether the fishermen who let go yesterday told other villages the news.
