Chapter 196: The Battle of Bergen: The Knot

"Surrender?"

Grand Duke Xiao Tang looked at the messenger who was more than ten meters away from him in surprise, and there were more than ten soldiers blocking the route in the middle, and asked suspiciously. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes, we don't know each other, and there is no reason why we should clash in the first place. The Grand Duke of Haugesund is willing to surrender to you for the sake of the friendship between the two families, and you can bring all your soldiers into the city, and your expenses and the food and grass of your soldiers will be provided by His Excellency the Grand Duke—"

The conditions are really good.,It's a complete loser form.。

The little Tang Grand Duke was thoughtful, with such a generous condition provided by Haiyugesong, it stands to reason that he should be tempted, but for some reason, he suddenly had a feeling of wanting to laugh.

The attitude of a lord can be seen from the performance of his subordinates, although this messenger has words of humility in his mouth, the anger and unwilling gaze in his eyes cannot be concealed. As a messenger who conveys the meaning of the lord, he is like this, so what is Haiyugesong's mind, the little Tang Grand Duke doesn't even have to guess.

"Really, taking everyone else for a fool."

The little Tang Grand Duke muttered in his mouth, and then raised a hand, and the messenger on the opposite side suddenly had a happy face, thinking that the little Tang Grand Duke was going to let the soldiers withdraw. Unfortunately, then, he clearly heard the four words that were not loud, but clear: "The whole army is attacking." ”

It turned out that during the period when the little Tang Grand Duke was idle and the messenger was rippling, the crash had already penetrated the wooden gate of Bergen with an unstoppable momentum, and Bergen, who had lost the last line of defense, was like a dancer who had taken off her clothes, just waiting for the rough soldiers to ravage her.

"Light cavalry speed first, take the city gates! Sword and shield soldiers march! ”

After receiving the order, Knight Wade no longer cared about the messenger in front of him, and immediately assumed the duties of his battlefield commander, giving orders loudly, and the originally silent military camp was like a behemoth that suddenly came to life, making a terrifying sound that made everyone tremble.

It was the sound of steel clashing against steel, the sound of footsteps and horses' hooves trampling the earth, in short, the sound of war.

"You, you ......"

The messenger was dumbfounded, and his fingers trembled like a sieve, but the little Tang Duke smiled mysteriously at him, and the messenger had just had a bad premonition in his heart, when he heard the little Tang Dagong ask:

"Knight Wade, what is the crime of a commoner pointing his finger at a noble Grand Duke and speaking a disrespectful word?"

"Civilians slandering the Grand Duke is a capital offense, and if it is ruled by other lords, it can even lead to a war."

Although he didn't know what the little Tang Duke meant, Wade Knight still replied seriously, and then he heard the little Tang Tang's relaxed and even slightly playful tone:

"yes, isn't it a war now?"

There is no doubt that the Duke of Xiao Tang wanted to justify this war, after all, he attacked without any reason, and it was a sneak attack, even if the target was a barbarian...... Well, it's no problem if it's a barbarian, after all, a barbarian can't be regarded as a human being.

As I said earlier, firstly, he was really idle, and secondly, the slight nervous breakdown caused by snow blindness forced him to desperately find a few toys to vent his anger.

It's just that this toy is not a puppet, and it can be played with casually by the little Tang Grand Duke.

"Fuck you, bastard!"

The messenger who was teased and carried away by anger no longer cared for any task, no matter what mission, now there was only one thought in his mind, kill! Kill this hated man in front of you!

Then he was stabbed into a sieve by the super-long pikemen who guarded the side of the little Tang Grand Duke.

The Vikings gave him the fury of a berserker and the courage to defy everything, but it could not give him the indestructible body of Vajra, and when he was carried away by the rage, it was time for him to die.

"It's too brittle, it's too brittle, it's not worth playing with at all."

Finally killed a person, the irritable mood of the little Tang Grand Duke was somewhat relieved, and gradually calmed down, and then shifted his attention to the battlefield, Bergen, who had lost the last barrier, and the fall was just around the corner.

"Retreat into the city! Gather the rest of the soldiers and retreat to the castle, where we will hold out! ”

Seeing that sending messengers had no effect, on the contrary, the enemy's offensive was becoming more and more fierce, most of the city walls had fallen to Viking mercenaries, and the city gates were blocked by the rushing light cavalry, and there was no way to advance or retreat, Haugesund gritted his teeth and made such a decision.

Retreating to the castle, this is not a good idea, the castle is indeed a lord's last fortress is good, but on the other hand, when a lord retreats to the castle to hold on, it also means that most of the territory under his rule has fallen, and he can only hide in the castle for a while.

However, Haugesund seems to have a different opinion.

"Retreat to the castle, there is a secret passage in the castle, in case I really can't hold it, I will go out through the secret passage to regain my strength, in order to plan for the future."

Things have come to this point, most of Bergen has fallen, and Haugesund is still dreaming of a counteroffensive. It's also understandable, though.

Even if you are ruthless and fearless, you will have some reluctant thoughts in your heart when you see your ten years of business and ten years of hard work ruined. What's more, Bergen is still the largest city in Norway, and if you lose this city, Haugesund will lose half of its combat power, and you don't know when you want to make up for it.

"Don't panic! It's just a momentary failure, it's nothing! On the way to retreat, gather all the Vikings along the way! It's an invasion! It is the aggression of those cowards of Britain against us! Every Viking should unite and rise up against it! ”

On the way to retreat, Haugesund was still cheering for his soldiers to prevent them from collapsing all at once, and in addition, looking at the closed doors next to the street, Haugesund had an idea and said the above paragraph.

By the way, the reason why Haugesund knew that the Britons were because the light cavalry of the Little Tang Grand Duke almost rushed directly in front of him, and if it weren't for the desperate protection of the guards around Hai Yugesong, he would have become a prisoner of the Little Tang Grand Duke by now.

But even so, on the battlefield, Haugesund still didn't understand who had attacked him. At this time, it is time to invite the back-handed man King William to appear in friendship, after all, as I said earlier, the Vikings are quite fond of King William, who is of the same clan as themselves and is a strong man.

And Haugesund is most worried about King William alone, after all, he is a king and he is just an archduke, even this archduke is also self-appointed by King William's position as king, and it is more than a step worse in terms of force, Haugesund asked himself, if he had the strength of King William, he would have come to fight himself a long time ago.

…… If the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang withdraws his army now, leaving Haugesund with a way to live, maybe he will have to fight with King William in the blink of an eye.

However, as the saying goes, the world is impermanent, and many things seem clear to us now, but at that time, how many people could tell the difference?

"Lord Duke, the city of Bergen has been broken, please enter the city......"
