Chapter 213: Trap
"Hudson, what do you say? Have you discovered a city of great size? Konelsson, the leader of the Varyags, stood up in surprise when he heard the report of his men, "Where is the city you are talking about, who founded it, and how well did they defend it?" ”
"Sir, the city I'm talking about is from us, and it takes more than ten days to get to the ...... by boat," Hudson had already shed his merchant clothes, put on a horned helmet, and had a long sword pinned to his waist, and he opened a package he was carrying, "You see, this is a good thing I exchanged with them for honey and bearskin..... they call this silky cloth....... and this is their silver coin......"
Cornelsson grabbed the silk Hudson had exchanged, and held it in his hand as if he was holding the smooth and delicate skin of those girls, and the feeling was a good wow, and the white silver coins made the leader's eyes shine with a light called "greed", "Hudson, have you asked who they are?" Are they well defended? ”
"Boss, I inquired, they all claim to be honest people, they are from their own country called Eagle Country...... "Hudson knows what is called Han and what is British, he can only make up a name based on transliteration, "There are about 10,000 to 30,000 people in the city, and the defense is not very tight......"
"God Odin blesses, there is finally a fat sheep to slaughter....." Cornelson's blue eyes flashed with a terrifying glint, "Ming'er, you and I will go to the city you said again, I want to confirm ......"
Accompanied by Hudson, Cornelsson got on a boat and went down the river to the city Hudson said, "My god Odin, this city is so big...... "After entering the city, Cornelson's eyes flashed with the kind of light called "greed" became more and more prosperous, the prosperity of the city far exceeded his imagination, he and Hudson sold their goods, Cornelsson took a closer look at the city called Jiazhou, "Hudson, you fool, the population of this city should be about 50,000, We can't eat ourselves, no, we'll have to contact Gustav and them......"
Cornelsson also thinks that he is negligent in this Jiazhou City, such a big city, the army is not more than 1,000 people, this Jiazhou City he is going to decide, "Chief, they just order the army, we will have a surprise attack, and capture all the people in the city as slaves...... How good is it for us to do this business ourselves, why call Gustav them? ”
"You idiot, you didn't notice that these people are armed, you think they won't resist?" Cornelson knocked Hudson hard, "There are less than 5,000 men, women and children in our whole clan, how can such a big city eat?" Even if you call Gustav, they are also headed by us, and the big head is still our ....."
The Varyags, to whom Cornelsson and Hudson belonged, were usually merchants, farmers, hunters, and even fishermen, but when they found a target to rob, they immediately turned into robbers, and they had a name that would later make the whole of Europa tremble, the Vikings!!
The Varyags, the Konelsson's own, were the first Vikings to enter the Eastern European Plain, and their ancestors crossed the Baltic Sea into the Great Eastern European Plain, driving dragon boats up and down the vast plains with a network of rivers, and as long as they targeted their targets, they would inevitably become a pile of rubble.
Now the Jiazhou City set up by Li Lu in the middle reaches of the Fujiang River has become a big fat piece in their eyes, but Cornelsson and Hudson may not have expected that the army they think is actually a local officer, to put it bluntly, it is a policeman, the real army is stationed, it is a military restricted area, barbarians like them are not even qualified to look at it, I have to say that they are likely to encounter a big iron plate this time.
After leaving Jiazhou City, Kornersson visited a number of Varyag tribes one after another, because in the Varyag tribe, Kornersson is the most powerful, so he is also the most appealing, after the tribal leaders gathered, Knelsson told these leaders about his intentions, they expressed great interest in being able to loot such a prosperous and rich city, and after a lot of quarrels, the principle of spoils distribution was determined, that is, whoever has the biggest fist, and who grabs more is who's.
The Varyags, like their close relatives in the west, the Normans, were feared bandits, convinced that the city of Jiazhou was also in their possession, and before they gathered to prepare for the expedition, Konelsson said to the minions who had gone on the expedition, "If you want to live a better life than others, if you want to bring the horned helmet and the Viking sword, you must fight with your own hands, and get the ...... There are a lot of silver coins in Jiazhou City, and there are beautiful girls waiting for you to get and conquer ......"
As soon as he finished speaking, the more than 10,000 Viking warriors standing on the ship raised their weapons high and let out an earth-shattering roar. For this expedition, the Varyags mobilized nearly 10,000 men from thirteen tribes, and there were hundreds of ships that transported them alone.
The Varyags did not know that their large-scale assembly attracted the attention of the Jiazhou garrison, and when the news of the large-scale assembly of the Varyags reached Jiazhou, the new establishment of the Jiazhou garrison area immediately alerted Shi Simeng, "These barbarians are all begging for a living on the boat, which means that they will go down the Fujiang River......" Shi Simeng thought for a while, and then issued an order to raise the vigilance, "Order the whole city to enter the first level of combat readiness......"
After Shi Simon gave the order, his heart began to sum up, "It seems that after this battle is over, it is necessary to build warships and form a water detachment, and you can't always rely on four legs......."
On the other side, the Varyag warriors had already begun to board the ships, and they all clenched their weapons and fought well with the British in the south, and for their warriors, Konelsson and the other tribal leaders who had come with them said that they had full confidence in their warriors, because like their relatives the Normans, the Varyags had loved all kinds of competitive games since childhood, and they tried their hand at equestrianism, weightlifting, rowing, sailing, and swimming. The annual tribal congress is also their own Olympiad. Their most enthusiastic sport is wrestling, and at the tribal convention, an open field is carved out with a pointed boundary stone in the center, and both sides of the contest push each other onto the stone with force. In addition, they also tried archery, skiing, and ice skating. All these competitions are aimed at training stronger fighters. Even if you hide in the house in winter, the board games that came from Rome are always full of offensive and defensive skills. The Varyags, who grew up in such an environment, are born warriors.
Hundreds of dragon head ships along the Fujiang River downstream, mighty and mighty to kill under the city of Jiazhou, a battle between civilization and barbarism is about to begin, when Cornelsson they arrived in Jiazhou City, they saw that Jiazhou City is still the same as in the past, it seems that there is no defense at all, even the city gate is still open, Cornelsson They were immediately overjoyed, and quickly commanded their men to get off the boat, kill into the city, grab food, grab money, and rob women.....
The first to jump off the ship were also the fiercest warriors of these tribes, they were dressed in armor made of animal skins, and they let out a rough roar, these people were the famous berserkers of the Vikings, and the Varyags, who were a branch of the Vikings, were no worse than those who begged for a living at sea, and before they disembarked, they all took a mushroom that made their blood boil, and they only knew the battle and did not know the pain, at this time, they were not just people in animal skins, but became beasts in human skins.
Why did Sthmund open the city gates? In fact, when he was reading Li Lu's plagiarized "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he was inspired by Zhuge Liang's empty city plan and designed a Shi Simeng version of the "empty city plan", Shi Simeng carefully analyzed it when he got the news that the Varyag people were about to invade by boat, because he did not have a naval army that could fight on the water, and wanted to eat these Varyags in one go, then the only way to lure the enemy deep and fight their ambush, thinking about it, Shi Simeng decided to use Jiazhou City as a bait to lure them into the city, as long as they entered the city, Just close the door and fight the dogs, and the British army is invincible on land, and none of them can escape.
In order to implement this plan, Shi Simeng evacuated the residents of the entire Jiazhou City to the dense forest on the outskirts of the city overnight, after the people left, only the British army led by Shi Simeng was left in the city, under his leadership, the entire Jiazhou City became a super trap specifically for these barbarians, in order to perform more realistically, when the Varyags entered the city, the defending British soldiers also pretended to be embarrassed to retreat, discarding a lot of jewelry, cloth, and even spices.
These valuable good things were immediately grabbed by the Varyags who entered the city, and they even killed each other, and the berserkers who ate mushrooms took the advantage, and the British officers who were hiding in the shadows couldn't help but complain after seeing these Varyags being fooled, "Barbarians are barbarians, and there is no ...... at all organizational discipline"
Since this group of Varyags was a rabble, after they entered the city, they found that the defenders of the city were very weak to resist, and they were not happy, and without confirming whether they had defeated the enemy, in order to fight for the spoils of war, they themselves did it first, "Gustav, what do you mean?? "Cornelsson, I want to ask you, what do you mean?" As the two most powerful tribal leaders of the Varyags, Cornelsson and Gustav quarreled over a shop full of silk after entering the city.
What they don't know is that in the dark of the city, several British officers are cheering for them, "Just do it, don't ink ......"
It's still two shifts today, and it may be a little later at night, so I can't help it
