"Your Majesty, please make a decision early!"

Seeing that the Norwegian cavalry, covered in blood and covered in minced meat, like a terrible ghost crawling out of hell, pierced directly into his left flank and rushed in the direction of his headquarters, the old Danish general quickly proposed to Margrethe I that His Majesty should stay away from the edge for the time being, so as not to be captured.

Margrethe I is still hesitating, as a queen, if she is captured by the other party, it will inevitably deal a great blow to the morale of the Danish army, so that the tide of the battle between the two sides will be turned around in an instant, and tens of thousands of Danish troops will all have to be explained here.

But if it's a retreat, it's no different.

Because if you say it's good, it's retreat, and if it's not good, it's actually no different from running away, as the boss, you've run away, how can the soldiers under your command continue to work with you?

Unwilling, really unwilling!

"There are 500 elite Danish warriors in my guard, and they are ......condescending," said Margrethe I, convincing the old general or comforting herself.

Are you kidding?

The old general almost fainted when he heard this, and such a small hill bag can be regarded as condescending?

What is the difference between a 60 horsepower war horse and a 70 horsepower war horse? A single charge can definitely paralyze one's defenses, and those who fail will definitely fail.

Moreover, those tomahawk cavalrymen were wrapped in steel armor all over their bodies, and even the war horses were wearing heavy iron armor, and the old general had no confidence in victory at all.

Speaking of which, the old general traveled from south to north, counting Margaret I, who had served three kings, and was really well-informed and highly respected, but he had never seen such cavalry, even when he was a Varangian mercenary in Byzantium, the Byzantine ironclad paladier he saw was probably not as good as these heavily armored knights. This group of guys has been charging for such a long time, although many people are wounded and their armor is slightly damaged, but not a single one is killed, which is enough to show the combat power of this group of cavalry.

It's impossible to win in a head-to-head battle! Unless you give yourself more troops, and are equipped with armor-piercing hammers, chain mail, heavy axes, and favorable terrain, it is possible to defeat this cavalry team.

It only took a few moments for the old general to come up with these thoughts, and it was still the same sentence:

"Your Majesty, please make a decision early!"

Looking at this group of Norwegian cavalry with hideous and terrifying faces from afar, Margrethe I said that she was not afraid of it, it was absolutely false, but as the king of a country, she must not say the word retreat on the battlefield, even if it was a last resort, she needed to find a step down, or find a scapegoat.

And this old general, who has been urging again and again, just gave her a step.

"Then it's up to you!"

The queen made a rare low gesture at this point, and then turned and rode her horse backwards.

The old general was stunned at first when he saw this, and soon understood the queen's intentions, but what was the use of saying this now?

"Hold on! Protect Her Majesty! ”

The old general turned again, drew his sword and shouted, but this time, he did not look back at the queen again, compared to the thought of dying in battle to prove his heart.

Seeing the queen fleeing alone, and by the way, using herself as a shield, the hundreds of Danish soldiers who stayed behind were strange, and it was strange not to curse in their hearts.

Randy's 200 hoplites were divided into four teams, charging with the momentum of destroying everything, and their own people suddenly turned on their backs, especially the guy in the front row wielding a single knife, and the momentum exuded by the whole person was like a demon in hell, which was extremely terrifying.

After only one charge, the opposing guards were scattered, and the Danish elite fell instantly.

"Shout! Shout at me! Queen Margrethe I of Denmark has fled! ”

Randy kept urging his men as he turned his horse around and prepared to roll back, but the horse under his crotch wailed until he foamed at the ground.

"Dead?"

Seeing that he had been riding a war horse for several months was so tired that Randy was a little sad, looking at the war horses of the other guard knights and tomahawk cavalrymen, they were all tired and salivating, and it was difficult to walk, let alone charge.

"Damn it, all dismount!"

Randy ordered, still not giving up, with two hundred men who had changed from heavy cavalry to heavy infantry, and rushed towards the rear of the enemy army, fortunately these cavalry were in good health, otherwise I am afraid that they would not have the strength to fight.

At the same time, the Danes also sensed that something was wrong, their queen was gone, and when they heard the news that the queen had fled from the battlefield, the Danish army panicked on the spot and had no intention of fighting again.

Danish ...............

Collapse of the will to fight!!

If it weren't for Randy's quick turn, he temporarily changed his strategy and took a squad of less than two hundred people to the enemy's flank, I'm afraid that Randy and the others would have been trampled to death by the fleeing Danish army.

Such a scene is like a lone lion, no matter how strong it is, it can't resist the crazy herd of bison. Randy and the others tried their best to hide in the Black Forest next to the battlefield, and after hacking to death several Danish soldiers who were in a panic, they breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the battlefield that was still fighting from a distance.

Only the New Nijmegen Army was left on the battlefield, and a small number of Ossian Army cheered hoarsely, Randy felt a little trance, followed by a burst of fear, recalling the appearance of the sword on the battlefield without eyes, he really broke out in a cold sweat.

Why did I rush out just now? Randy, do you want to die a second time?

Randy kept giving himself psychological hints that if this happened again, he would definitely run away as soon as possible, no matter what.

However, Randy's despicable nature makes him undoubtedly a scumbag, and swearing or something is like eating cabbage.

But in any case, the war was won, and it was a big victory!

The New Nijmegen army suffered heavy losses, but it still had more than 3,000 men to fight.

On the other hand, the enemy Danish army, after this battle, although there are still nearly 10,000 troops, but the morale is completely lost, and the whole day is huddled in the barracks in fear, diapers between Denmark and Norway across a Öresund waterway, presumably the Danish army has scattered and fled at this time.

Plus, it's the complete fall of Oslo!

However, it was not so much the fall as Felix II, who was killed by most of the Assassins who were believed to have been sent by the Danes, and after Randy made a little appearance and wept bitterly, he naturally added the title of Guardian of Oslo to his name, and rightfully prepared to take over the city of Oslo.

Now in the whole of Norway, no one has the strength to fight with him.

——————————

——————————

At this time, the Danish military camp was shrouded in a gloomy mist.

Margrethe I naturally knew that there was a miasma in the barracks, the morale of the army was discouraged, and there were even many defeated soldiers, looking at themselves from the eyes of enemies, Her Majesty was worried, but helpless.

At this point, is it possible that you still want to negotiate with the Norwegians?

Margaret I, very entangled!

Is face or life important?

Margrethe I had already made a choice on this question.

"Hehe, you Danes are willing to withdraw unconditionally from the Norwegian Peninsula and sign a trade treaty and a non-aggression pact, so that there will be peace between the two countries in the future, is that right?"

In the afternoon of that day, in the military camp of New Nijmegen, a Danish envoy came.

"That's right, that's the Queen's intention, Count Randy!" The messenger said without humility.

"Well, I see, come on, get him out." Randy waved his hand, and then the two knights of the guard next to him dragged the messenger out with a hand.

"Count Randy, why is that?" The messenger shouted as he struggled desperately.

"What do you think...... Am I a fool? ”

Randy suddenly stood up, walked over and rewarded the messengers in the mouth, patted his broken teeth, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Now that I and that woman's identities have been reversed, I am the winner, she is the loser, if the person who loses today is me, your queen, will you show mercy to my men?" Here's the treaty I drew up, and I'll take it back to show the woman. ”

Messenger: "........................"

...... in the afternoon of the same day

The Queen of Denmark looked at the parchment scroll that the messenger had brought back, and she frowned at the number of treaties on it.

I want to refuse, but I am afraid that the Norwegians will continue to attack.

In the end, he relented and felt that his fame was in vain......

With a long sigh, he nodded, and asked the messenger to make another trip, saying that he had agreed to all the terms of the treaty.

Randy's treaty is as follows:

In addition to the peace and trade promised by the Danish side, the cession of the island of Gotland, the payment of war reparations of 55,000 gold coins, the opening of the Öresund waterway, the exemption of Norwegian merchants from paying taxes on the entry and exit of the waterways, and the reduction of various payments for Norwegian merchants in Denmark.

After the two parties confirmed that there was no objection to the contract, the two wanted to make an appointment in Oslo City.

Now Randy can already be called, Randy I.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time Randy and Margaret have met.

Margaret I amazed Randy's young ......

Randy, on the other hand, is surprised by Margaret's age......

I'll never be interested in what you play again!!

Randy looked at the other man's orange-peeled face and swore in his heart.

In the presence of both the Danish chaplain and the Norwegian Field Order......

Under the legendary icon of God, the two sides signed a treaty in duplicate.

The Danish side gritted its teeth!

The Norwegian side is beaming!

In this treaty, even if it is other places, indemnities or something, in fact, many nobles here have been captured, and many people have taken prisoners of others, all kinds of ransoms have been taken, and they have all been given to others, although the amount of 55,000 gold coins is a little large, but it is not unacceptable.

As for the trade treaty or something......

What does this mean exactly? The knight with his head full of rye flakes expressed his incomprehension.

And the island of Gotland ......

That's Gotland!

The most important and largest island in the entire Baltic Sea.

The islands, which Denmark and Sweden had acquired after years of fighting each other, were ceded out??!!

If you want to conquer Northern Europe, you must control the Baltic Sea.

If you want to conquer the Baltic Sea, you must control Gotland.

Although the Danish knights have not seen Tanaka's sonata, they still understand the basic truth.

The Baltic Sea has such a 3,000-square-kilometer island in the south, but it is the largest island in the entire Baltic Sea, and it is also the transportation hub of various trade along the Baltic Sea coast.

With Gotland as a strategic base, the navy can radiate to all the countries along the Baltic Sea and attack whoever it wants.

Not only that, but Gotland, with its special geographical location, is also one of the trading hubs of the Baltic Sea region, and the annual commercial tax paid alone can make Danes wake up with a smile in their dreams.

Outcome...... The island of Gotland was ceded in this way......

"Damn, sooner or later, it will ......"

At the treaty scene, I don't know how many Danes secretly swore in their hearts.

But what they think in their hearts is not within Randy's consideration.

After the treaty was signed, Randy ordered Carter to stop his mission to block the Öresund waterways and return with a shipload full of loot.

The Viking Navy works part-time as a Viking pirate, and I think everyone will have no opinion.

The external problem was slightly resolved, and in the middle of the negotiations, Diplomat No. 1 also returned with a positive answer from Sweden, and Gustav was still thinking about whether to go to Norway to take advantage of it, and at first he also delayed not wanting to sign a treaty. However, after a few days of waiting, he heard that the Norwegian navy had blocked the Öresund waterway and that the army had defeated the Danes, and he took back what little he had thought.

Anyway, his strategic center is on Novgorod, and there is nothing wrong with showing a little favor to this neighbor, who has already shown some ability.

However, when Gustav made such a decision, he had definitely not heard that Gotland was in Randy's hands, otherwise it would be a different story.

In any case, internal and external troubles.

This external trouble is temporarily removed, and the remaining internal worries ......

The various nobles who decisively betrayed Randy in the previous war and almost caused Randy to hang up, do they want to forgive them generously under the banner of not being accountable to the law?

Hehe, unless Randy's head show is funny.

After receiving 55,000 gold coins, Randy decisively reorganized all his troops and issued a declaration of crusade against rebellion.

Although the opposing noble alliance attacked Bergen in a desperate situation, in a vain attempt to hold the city again, it had already been seen through by Randy's attempt, recruited a thousand regular garrisons, and directly crushed the noble coalition army that had already been greatly injured in the defensive battle, and then as soon as Randy's main army arrived, the siege of Bergen was lifted.

For the vanquished, Randy showed no mercy at all, and all the noble lords were hanged, his wife and children were sold into slavery, and all the property of the territory was confiscated.

And after doing well in the battle, at least not betraying his Oslo nobles, Randy felt that he should not let his reputation go down again, so he didn't do anything to these nobles, but instead increased their fiefdom.

It's just that I don't know why, these fiefs are scattered in northern Norway, although they are generally a little larger than the current territory of the nobles, and the degree of development is a little higher, but the territory is too scattered, and one by one it is separated from the territory controlled by Randy.

However, despite this, there are still many nobles who choose to relocate to new territories after field trips.

Look at the painted white fences, the stone-paved paths, the well-grown rye, the grassy meadows, and the Gothic villas with fireplaces, ornate wooden furniture, and velvet beds, such manors are many times better than their own, and there are fewer disputes in the interior, and they live their own lives behind closed doors, and they can mobilize troops again if they have anything to do.

After spending 30,000 gold coins to get Enides to construct dozens of estates of different sizes, Randy finally solved the problem of dividing the domestic aristocracy.

Then the next step is to go to Rome and receive the Pope's blessing and be crowned king!

However, it is impossible for Randy to travel thousands of miles to the legendary Rome alone, but if he brings more people, the countries along the way may have to destroy themselves as invaders.

What the? By sea? Is this going around most of Europe?

Just crossing the North Sea, Randy is still terrified!

After all, the sea is the sea, and it is ruthless to turn your face, and you will be gone when a wave hits.

In the future, I can only compete with sharks in the sea, if I don't die.
