In order to prevent the Lithuanians from escaping, the hussars under Randy's command received an order to wander around the Lithuanian camp in groups of three or five, and when they encountered a lone Lithuanian, they pounced on it and cut it down, and when they met a large group of Lithuanian troops, they fled and never fought with them.

Although it did not reach the two full-fledged hussar regiments of 10,000 men listed in the Military Reform Order, there were quite a few hussars under Randy's command, a small number of whom he used as scout cavalry, and the other 6,000 elites harassed Lithuania.

This taste is not pleasant, the Lithuanians will not even have the intention of escaping, a flight will most likely encounter hussars, if there are few people, they can't fight, if there are too many people, they can't run, they can't live or die, there is no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground, many Lithuanians cry bitterly when they think of these times, and some of them are depressed and directly wipe their necks, so that the entire Lithuanian army is overshadowed, and the number of surrenderers has increased again.

However, Lithuanians are also human beings, and after using their brains, they came up with such a solution......

On this day, more than a dozen Lithuanians who had been sent out to collect supplies had made up their minds to surrender to the Normans, and now a single and small number of Lithuanians did not dare to go half a step out of the barracks, and such activities were carried out in small units.

There is no big role in this world, for several hussars, such a number of enemies, but also infantry, is still a very easy prey, the low morale of the Lithuanians also further increases the probability of success of the hussars, basically as long as they see the hussars rushing over, the squad of Lithuanians will immediately collapse, even if there are a few brave, can raise the courage to resist, they will be killed at the first time.

Therefore, going out of the camp to collect supplies became a chore in the eyes of Lithuanian soldiers, and few people were willing to do it, and in the end it even developed to the point of drawing lots to decide life and death.

"I can't imagine that the harassment of light cavalry has dealt such a serious blow to morale, and it seems that it should be promoted more in the future." Randy was surprised for a few seconds when he got the news, and began encouraging the hussars to double down on harassing the Lithuanians.

The hussars who were encouraged and won successive battles were also more courageous, not only would search for a lone enemy, but even a small army of more than ten or twenty enemy troops dared to take the initiative to attack, and some more daring hussars would even wander around the Lithuanian barracks, sometimes found by Lithuanian sentinels, not only would not run away, but would make a charge, watching the Lithuanians panic as if facing a great enemy, laughing, so the morale of the Lithuanians fell to the point that it could no longer be lowered.

In such a situation, one day, a small group of Lithuanian soldiers came out to fetch water, unlike the previous situation, this group of Lithuanian soldiers did not fail in the lottery, let alone seek death by themselves, they came to surrender.

These people are all from a tribe that has surrendered to the Norman Empire, and their tribal elders have also sent a message hoping that they will be able to break away from the Lithuanian army and return to the tribe, these people are a little hesitant at first, but as the war progresses, the horrors of the Norman army scare these guys half to death, and after some discussion, they decide to surrender.

If you run over casually, most of them will be cut off by the Norman hussars, so this group of people searched for white cloth behind their backs, made a rudimentary white flag, and then felt that it was not safe, and drew lots to select one person to surrender, and if he did not die, the others would continue to surrender.

But they also don't know what the attitude of the Normans was towards those who surrendered. Will it be accepted? Or just kill it? So the lot was drawn, and the person who caught it went to tell the Normans first, and if it was good, he would bring the Normans over, and if it was not good, it would be ...... Basically, there is no then.

"Don't be me! Don't be me! Don't be me......" Everyone said to themselves in their hearts, praying repeatedly that it would not be their turn, but there was always one person chosen, and that person was called the unlucky ghost, and the others breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep, leaving only the unlucky ghost and the one who came up with a solution.

"Listen well, I learned a little Norman language before this, this sentence means don't kill me, I'm here to surrender, you must remember it, maybe it can save your life!"

After saying that, the leader also went to sleep, leaving the unlucky ghost alone to practice that sentence desperately, and even when he saw the officer the next day, he almost said it, but fortunately the noble officer did not know Norman, otherwise it would be a big trouble.

After a few more days, the group took the opportunity to fetch water and walked out of the camp, leaving the unfortunate ones to take the white flags and go to a place where the Norman hussars were said to be infested, while the others hid in another place.

The unlucky ghost shuddered and took out the white flag on his chest, stretched it out and shook it forward, because this place was infested with legendary hussars, so no one wanted to come here, and the unlucky ghost was not afraid of being seen.

After a while, the Norman hussars appeared, just as the legend suggests.

"It's Lithuania! Kill! One of them was in a hurry, drew his knife and was ready to rush over.

"Wait a minute, that guy seems to be holding a white flag, is he going to surrender?" Another hussar stopped.

"Anyway, go over and have a look, he's only one person anyway." The third hussar said.

So they rode over, and when they saw the legendary fierce hussars rushing towards them, the man shouted, threw down his flag, and prepared to run, but the hussars were stunned, and the impatient hussar drew his cavalry crossbow and wanted to shoot, but was soon stopped again.

"Grab him and ask him about it!" The third cavalry captain who spoke said.

"It's so easy to kill something." The impatient one muttered a whisper and immediately ran up, and the other two companions followed him and quickly caught up with the fellow, drawing their scimitars and striking him the back.

The unlucky man thought he was dead, and fell to the ground with a scream, and then found that nothing had happened to him except for the sharp pain in his back, and he was kicked to the ground just as he tried to get up.

"Say! What do you do? A scimitar was attached to the tip of his nose, and a hussar stepped on his back and asked in Polish, but seeing that the other person did not answer, he gave a look to his companion next to him, who asked again in Slavic, but still received no answer.

"It turned out to be a mute, just kill it." The irascible hussar was getting impatient again.

"Kill me, I'm here to surrender." As soon as he heard that the other party was going to kill him, the unlucky ghost's mouth suddenly became sharp, and he yelled in the Norman language he had learned before.

"Shut up!"

The hussars, who were a little dissatisfied with his pronunciation, stomped on him hard, turned to his companion and asked, "What did he just say about him...... Do you want us to kill him quickly? ”

The hussar shook his head: "No! I think he's here to surrender, let him get up, I'll ask him. ”

The hussar captain tried to speak broken Lithuanian, and the captive was stunned for a moment, then nodded desperately.

"Looks like this guy is really here to surrender!"

"So what? Seeing that this kid is dressed in tatters, I'm afraid he is not a nobleman, and if there is not much ransom, it is better to cut it and change it directly for military merit. ”

"Chop chop, you know chop, usually use your brain more, don't always be frizzy." One of the hussars beside the captain really couldn't stand this guy and couldn't help but complain loudly.

"You coward, do you want to fight? There are more than twice as many people in Lao Tzu's military merit book as you. ”

"Hehe, chopping some unarmed civilians is also considered a military feat?"

Seeing that the two guys were tense, the cavalry captain stepped forward and separated the two guys who were getting closer and closer.

"Alright, you two don't quarrel, hand over this guy."

After some twists and turns, this group of Lithuanians finally surrendered successfully, in recent days, you are not a few, Lithuanians under the will to survive under the urge to use their brains, it is very easy to think of surrender, the so-called nationalism in the Middle Ages, nationalism, are very thin, at least in Randy's view, this era to occupy a territory that does not belong to the nation, and to implement effective rule, is much easier than the era when the concept of national democracy was stereotyped in later generations, as long as it is not brain-dead like ***, Just collect a poll tax on the infidels.

Before this, when Randy occupied the new area, he would implement a half-year tax exemption system, and the peasants naturally liked to take refuge in him, but now Randy is poor and crazy, of course, he will not implement such a policy, which is also the reason why the Lithuanians did not hula all of a sudden, all of them took refuge in Randy, and they would surrender after a period of time with Randy.

On the land of Lithuania, Randy and his cavalry were raging for nearly two months, the siege of Vilnius was not relieved, in the two months of confrontation, although there was no main decisive battle, but Vytautas had completely lost confidence, and even the light cavalry tactics that the Lithuanians were best at were beaten to the ground, not to mention anything else, Vitas did not think that he was the kind of general who could defy the sky and mobilize the national enthusiasm of the Lithuanians, this strategy also proved to be ineffective, he had no choice.

"The Normans are so strong, but we are so weak, a few years ago the Normans were able to easily destroy the mighty United Kingdom, and now they are here again, they will not let us go, that devil, I must escape, I must escape."

But where can you escape? Most of the territory of the whole of Lithuania has been pocketed by Randy, and the remaining small part also has a large number of countries with ties to the Normans, Lithuania can no longer stay, where should it go? Belarus? Ukraine? Zaporozhye Khanate?

But what's the use of that? Sooner or later, the Normans will pass through those places.

No amount of land, how many slaves, or how many gold coins can satisfy this greedy fellow, unless you kill him, kill Randy, the bastard.

Thinking of this, Vytautas's eyes lit up all of a sudden, killing Randy von Hoffmann, as long as he can kill this Norman emperor, everything can be over, the Normans have no crown prince, and losing the emperor, the Normans are equivalent to losing everything, so as long as the best assassin can solve this matter.

Speaking of the best Assassins, Vytautas happened to know one.

At this time, Randy naturally didn't know the naïve thoughts of the Grand Duke of Lithuania, and even if he knew, he wouldn't be worried, if he asked which emperor had the most killers around him and which emperor had the most killers around him, then it must be Randy von Hoffmann, a super killer like Nemulis, there were at least three around Randy, hundreds of elite killers at the battlefield assassin level, and thousands of ordinary killer part-time spies all over the continent, Vytautas actually fantasized about using killers to assassinate Randy, It's almost the same as a meat bun beating a dog.

But at this time, Vytautas was also forced by Randy, the Norman army was mighty, but the army around him was decreasing day by day, the iron battalion was flowing soldiers, this word is used to describe Vytautas's army, the original 30,000 troops suffered heavy losses in the war with the Norman hussars, thousands of elite Lithuanian cavalry were killed, which greatly damaged Vytautas's strength, after which the hussars were piecemeal, and the Lithuanians fled in groups, Today, Vytautas's forces are only half of what they were in their heyday, but their actual combat strength is not even half of what it was at the beginning.

At this time, ignoring the strength of the other party in the dark world, even bigger than the sea on the surface, it is basically impossible to assassinate him, this approximate truth, that is, it is not an unacceptable thing, as long as there is hope, even if it is one in ten thousand, for a drowning person like Vytautas, it can be regarded as a lifesaver, even if he tries all his strength, he must grasp it.

Having made up his mind, Vytautas quickly brought papyrus, laid it out, began to write with a pen, and finally stamped his family's coat of arms, and Vytautas called one of his cronies to give him the letter and told him a secret place name.

"Come to this place, there is an old blind man in the village here, give him this letter and this bag of gold coins, and you can leave without saying anything." Vytautas commanded.

Although the cronies were very curious and felt that there must be something wrong with such a headless order, but the questions that should be asked and the questions that should not be asked should never be asked, this is the wise saying of being a subordinate, otherwise he would not have become a close confidant of Vytautas.

"Understood, Great King!" His cronies bent down and stroked his chest and said that although Vytautas's official title was Grand Duke of Lithuania, his cronies knew that he preferred to be called king, king of the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania.

When Vytautas was very imaginative and wanted to assassinate Randy, Randy was writing letters, and it was a love letter, which was even more difficult than when he went to the Eastern Roman Empire before, because the distance between Warsaw and Vilnius was much closer than that between Budapest and Moscow, so the correspondence with Artoria rose from once every twenty days to once every three days, which greatly increased Randy's burden.

Although this kind of behavior of occupying state resources to complete personal problems feels a little bad, Randy doesn't feel anything about it, he just has a headache about how to change tricks, saying I love you and writing it ten thousand times, and interspersing military messages without any sense of disobedience, asking Artoria about the progress over there, and introducing Artoria to the situation on his side.

Unlike Randy, who goes to great lengths to kill people, win people's hearts, and do all sorts of things, Artoria's side is going very smoothly, in fact, all she needs to shout at the entrance of a certain village: "Queen Artoria is here." ”

The whole village will surrender without any resistance!

can produce such a great deterrent, because before this, Artoria had swept through Eastern Europe with an army, and most of the places she passed through were slaughtered, even if she didn't pass through, the legend of the bloody queen of Northwest Britain also spread in the past, and the more outrageous it became, eating human flesh, eating children's hearts and livers, and bathing in human blood, this is the most basic, in addition to some Randy listened, and they had to praise their imagination.
