Chapter 3: The Norwegian Succession War

With the help of Liu Fei's-stirring stick, the Norwegian Succession War began vigorously, and the war between the heirs was very interesting. Olaf IV and Otto III were both sons of the former Grand Duke Olaf III, but the succession of these two sons was different, so the two sides had to fight. Not to mention that according to the documents provided by Olaf IV, Otto III no longer has the right to inherit, because Olaf III had already given Otto III some benefits before he set out on the expedition......

But this has nothing to do with Liu Fei, what Liu Fei needs now is to achieve his goal.

……

Olaf IV, as the legitimate heir, had a slightly larger number of supporters, and assembled a levy force of 27,000 men, which, together with his own standing army of several hundred, barely reached 28,000.

Otto III's side was not an orthodox heir, but he had a very strong personal strength, so he gathered a total of 24,000 levy troops. But with the addition of Liu Fei's troops and his own standing army, this number could rise to about 28,000 men.

On paper, neither side seems to be stronger than the other, but Liu Fei knows that his 3,000 army is not a joke, they are really a standing army, and it is no problem to have one enemy and three enemies.

Liu Fei was arranged on the right flank, and there were still some barbarian cavalry here, but Liu Fei was very optimistic about this patchwork team, and the contradictions in this team could not be greater.

The poor-born serfs were very disgusted with the knights of noble origin, and the knights looked down on the poor-born serfs.

The two sides did not pinch before the war began, in Liu Fei's opinion, this is simply a gift from God, but Liu Fei feels that even if he doesn't pinch it now, when he arrives on the battlefield later, he will definitely lose the war partially because of the discord between the two sides.

As a result, after going to the battlefield, Liu Fei was even more dumbfounded, because the people on the opposite side were even more powerful than his side, and he almost fought in front of the battle. The texture above is victorious over the opposite.

Liu Fei didn't dare to despise his enemies, because his enemies were 51,000 people, and even if some of them were consumed in the war, they would be at least 30,000 or 40,000 people, so many people would be able to wipe out their own team even if they were a sea of people.

Liu Fei can't afford to take this risk, the current Liu Fei is almost the same as the warlord of the old Jiang era, completely relying on the big soldiers in his hands, without the army, Liu Fei is not much different from a mayor, and the mayor just has a small guard.

The small guards are nothing at all in Liu Fei's eyes, just a hundred or so people, and they are still flowing. Gangsters ruffians.. The small team of weavers could not even catch up with the patrol infantry.

At that time, Liu Fei's family can be regarded as extinct.

※※※

The war between the two sides is very fast, because both sides know that both sides do have the right to inherit the inheritance, and if the other side finds a legal basis, then the legal principle on their own side is not dominant.

Although the Middle Ages were not very important for the "country... The concept of "family" is not very important, but "bloodline" and "inheritance" are very important, and sometimes many things can be solved with the latter.

Take the Bourbon family as an example, the good French king actually went to Poland to integrate the throne of a king, which is also very puzzling. However, for such a profound and esoteric succession to the throne, Liu Fei didn't want to do any research, Liu Fei was sure that he should be a single lineage in the future, at most two or three children, so as to ensure that there would be no rebellion due to inheritance reasons. It's messed up.

To know the rebellion at the time of inheritance. Chaos is the most terrible, otherwise the Green Sect's strong inheritance method would not be so criticized.

From people.. Dao Master.. From the point of view of righteousness, these people lose countless lives in every war, which is very inhumane. of the Tao; From the country where the war took place: At home level and people.. This is also very incorrect from the point of view of the general righteousness of the clan, which weakens the country. The national strength of the family, let the country.. If the family cannot develop rapidly, it is impossible to have any good results. But the leaders of these wars need to fight for power and need to protect it

It is also the power in their hands that they protect.

Without power, they are nothing, so they have a lot of fun fighting.

They are for their own lives, and others choose to support them for their own lives and for the sake of their own interests, and help them fight the war bigger and bigger......

※※※

The two sides formed a formation not far outside the city of Avalon, on the one hand, both guys felt that this piece of terrain was not bad, at least they could spread their armies.

On the other hand, these two old foxes felt that Liu Fei's personal strength was a bit strong, so these people needed to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger.

Of course, they weren't going to damage too much of the city of Avalon during the war, because it was a very important tax area!

In such a big city, even the poll tax can scavenge a lot of gold coins!

And the people in this city should be more completely evolved, and there are no Viking human bodies at all... Mao Laohou's characteristics, these people are groups of handsome men and beauties.

With blond hair and sky-blue eyes, this is the origin of the legendary Vikings!

……

Although it is said that this era does not pay attention to any politics... In the administration of science, we do not pay attention to any biological genetic theory. But these people are still very particular about blood, as long as Liu Fei, the earl of the "purebred Viking origin" region, can join his command, then the propaganda effect on his identity as a Viking lord will be very great.

Maybe many of the Viking brothers who were mercenaries abroad would come back and join him in fighting for themselves!

If your fist is big, where can you expand?

If the fist is bigger, it will be easier to collect money on the sea!

※※※

The war began, and to be precise, both sides began to charge.

The armies of Olaf IV and Otto III both began to charge, and Liu Fei led the army to slowly follow Otto III's right flank.

Olaf IV's army soon began to fire arrows, both sides were firing arrows. However, Liu Fei ordered all the soldiers to take out their shields, instead of choosing to fight back.

Huge cavalry kite-shaped shields and huge heavy infantry shields were crossed to protect the unprotected archers......

The cavalry on their horses was still using their one-handed swords to intercept arrows that could be dangerous.

……

The coordination of cavalry and archers and so on was very good, and after a rain of arrows, Liu Fei's troops were shot except for one archer who was very unlucky. Outside the unit, no one was injured.

Liu Fei then ordered his troops to assemble in formation and fired arrows at Olaf IV's troops, Liu Fei's bow and arrows were fired from longbows, and the lethality of arrows was certainly much better than those who used short bows or hunting bows, even if they could not be compared with crossbows.

……

Olaf IV's army immediately began to lose its ranks, but they were running out of ranged weapons.

The main weapon of the Vikings is the battle axe, and the most ranged weapon is not the bow and arrow, but the throwing axe!

※※※

The two sides have been fighting fiercely, and Liu Fei has taken measures to avoid the war, although it looks very cowardly, but it retains a large amount of military strength. Maybe Liu Fei will be criticized now, but after Liu Fei becomes the final victor, Liu Fei will be praised as "avoiding its edge and choosing the opportunity to fight".

Anyway, no matter what era it is, history is written by the victors.

……

The night is approaching, the two sides are ready for the final battle, and then it is time to set up camp and eat.

After eating, the soldiers can have the strength to do some heavy physical work, and fighting a war is very powerful heavy physical work!

r />

Don't look at the war in the Middle Ages, where soldiers on both sides rushed together to fight each other, in fact, this is very physically exhausting, and the average modern person is estimated to be unable to do such a thing - the spear they hold is very heavy, and the armor they wear on their bodies can simply exhaust the cow!

On top of that, you'll have to perform on the battlefield for a long time while eating a bad meal!

※※※

Soon, the next morning, the two sides stood up in an array at one time, and this time I am afraid that it is going to play for real.

Except for Liu Fei's army, which had a very short supply line and a group of well-trained soldiers, the armies of the other two earls were almost exhausted of all their provisions, and they would not be able to return home if they continued to consume!

And then believe that their relatives or subordinates in the rear are very happy to be able to inherit their place - after all, people always have a desire for power. Hopeful! If people really have no desires and no desires, then there is no need for management, and it is directly the Datong Society. Yes.

The horn of the decisive battle has sounded, and now that both sides are at the end of their strong crossbows, there is no possibility of reconciliation - even if they know that Liu Fei still has a very strong strength, they can't stop, because once they stop, they can't avoid being swallowed by their own men.

So Olaf and Otto are fighting for their lives.

Olaf IV did not know where to learn it, and after the two armies were entangled, he suddenly began to shout: "Otto III is dead!" Brothers, rush! ”

Otto III was blindfolded at once, but after reacting suddenly, he hurriedly shouted: "Lao Tzu is not dead yet!" Brethren do it. Dead Olaf old ghost! ”

However, the army has begun to break up, and Otto III is their most important pillar, and now that Otto III is "dead", then what the! Let's talk about it after running! Your life is your own!

Otto III's enmitage tried to stop his decline, but this time he was killed, and a powerful crossbow bolt struck Otto III in the neck. Otto III immediately fell from his horse and soon died.

The direction of Otto III is really finished, and it was originally planned to arrive.. The knights of the guards who resisted also collapsed.

Liu Fei looked at how this could be, he had a lot of weight, so if Otto III was finished, he would have to finish playing!

So Liu Fei asked his subordinates to spread the rumor that Olaf IV was dead, not to mention, it was really useful.

The voice of one man in the midst of a thousand troops could not overcome the voice of a group of people, and Olaf IV soon "died". So Olaf's men also began to break up, and they broke up even more, because the tiger army of Liu Fei and others looked very scary.

Liu Fei suddenly rushed in front of Olaf IV, who was about to scold this damn liar, but Liu Fei flew over with an axe and knocked off Olaf IV's head along with his helmet.

Blood splattered!

The war was also settled at this time, basically the senior generals and nobles on both sides were almost dead, and the only remaining knights could not meet the needs of commanding the war, and soon the armies on both sides were disposed of by Liu Fei, leaving no dregs.

Either they were captured or cut down directly on the battlefield.

Liu Fei never gave an order not to leave a living mouth, but the Vikings had a relatively simple and rough personality. Tyranny, since you were wounded as an enemy on the battlefield, then you should die! Keeping them would also take up valuable medical resources......

The vigorous Norwegian Succession War finally came to an end, and the high-ranking people who survived the chaotic battlefield or the society. The upper echelons of the meeting are basically equal to zero, and there are rumors that Liu Fei did it - Liu Fei killed all the others.

But Liu Fei himself never admitted it, and no one in Liu Fei's army said that Liu Fei had ever issued such an order. Because of the success and defeat of the king, it is said that this matter slowly passed, and no one explored the truth of this matter. Phase.

Because, Liu Fei has become the new Grand Duke of Norway!
