The cavalry officer turned his head away from the stone. Immediately after that, he took off the shield next to the horse's body to protect his head...... Or maybe his defensive actions gave the villagers the illusion that these guys were nothing more than that, or that a few stones could drive the invaders away. As a result, more people joined the ranks. Angry, or fanatical, or excited, they picked up stones like celebrations and threw them at the Norman hussars. It's as if you can show your bravery and have a defensive effect.

"What a bunch of idiots. The officer who spoke at the beginning snorted coldly, put down his shield, raised his knife and shouted: "Kill all these stupid people, and leave no one behind!"

So, having received a definite order, the hussars immediately drew their swords and rushed towards the crowd. Ruthlessly, he slashed at the heads of unsuspecting villagers.

"God!"

A citizen who stood at the front, feeling unlucky, was suddenly rushed by the war horse, only to hear a "click", and then the whole lower body was unconscious, and the war horse raised its front hooves again, and the hooves equipped with horseshoes stepped directly towards his head. The weight of hundreds of catties directly acted on it, directly stepping on his head. The hussar sitting on the mount ignored the frightened eyes of the surrounding villagers, grinned, and slashed the head of an old man next to him with a scimitar - in an instant, dozens of villagers in the front row were slaughtered!

"Ahh!!!h

Only then did the villagers realize that no matter how hard their mouths were, they couldn't win the knives in their hands. The best way to deal with a group of irascible hussars is to keep your mouth shut and obey ...... "But obviously, it's too late. The officers on the other side had already given the order to kill, and they would not give up until they were killed.

The once peaceful village was immediately turned into a living purgatory. A large number of villagers were slaughtered. The soldiers laughed and chased after the villagers...... Riding horses smashed through the fences, plundered their grain and valuables, and burned the rest.

"Hahaha...... That's just like the words.

What do you want to persuade us to surrender?! How good it would be to kill them all! The whole world belongs to us Normans, long live Egilska de Rimson!"

The hussar officer laughed wildly and drank the stolen liquor, and then threw the undrunk into the burning house next to it.

"Egilskagra Grímsson ......" watched the atrocities of the Norman army...... The little child hiding in the bushes not far away was lying motionless in his mother's arms, and tears flowed uncontrollably, silently repeating the name...... And vowed to make this tyrant pay when he grew up. However, the child's dream soon came to an end, and that was the end of it—the cavalry officer quickly noticed something unusual in the grass. After that, he came over and slashed down with a knife, cutting the boy's mother's head in half like a watermelon.

"Mom!!"

Seeing the tragic death of his loved one in front of his eyes, the boy cried and fainted. However, the officer did not let him go at all...... Ren Ran cut off his head mercilessly. Chop the grass and threaten the roots.

The whole village was slaughtered. Everyone, men, women, adults and children, were all cut off their heads and coded into a Jingguan. The bodies were burned in the fire. Immediately after that, the cavalry ran towards another village......

Well, in fact, there are not many such brain-dead villages and inhabitants. Of course, not less. And the so-called cutting of weeds and eradication is not really able to clean up. There will always be some lucky remnants who survive. And this blood debt is naturally recorded on Egil's head. Although he was completely unaware of these things. But because this is his empire...... It's his army. So it's the same as what he did.

Of course Egil didn't care, he didn't care at all, and he didn't care. There are more people in this world who want him to die. There are many people who have enmity with him. He had killed the Duke of Swabia only a few months earlier, and his entire family, the Duke of Humly's three sons and two daughters, had all died in the public execution. Plus his siblings, and his father...... I'm afraid that guy has eaten Egil's heart raw. But so what? Egil is still alive and well. It's very moisturizing. Drink lemon juice every day...... Holding his fourteen-year-old daughter in his arms, he commanded an army of 100,000 to continue to create hatred. Of course, when he dies, he will go to heaven or hell. I can't say for sure. ,

Or maybe hell needs someone like him.

In short, the Norman army burned and shot all the way, and advanced towards Vilnius as if no one was around. Along the way, the city was conquered...... It's like being in a no-man's land. The few noble castles to which Lithuania had pledged allegiance were bombarded with counterweight catapults, and then washed by Norman longbowmen with a rain of arrows...... The assault infantry who rushed in at the end could not even get a decent person to cut down.

With a purely bullying attitude, backed by the vast military production capacity of the entire empire, Egil was engaged in a brutal and inhumane war in Eastern Europe.

As he had said before, all those who resisted were killed. Anyway, the army itself is not something to do good. Especially such a fighting race as the Normans. Even if it's okay, if you're idle and bored, you might have to fight, let alone this time, after getting Egil's order to be a legitimate thousand. In the end, the Lithuanians also learned to behave. All of them are like rabbits, tame to death.

The Grand Duke of Lithuania, Vytautas, was extremely depressed to find that the morale of his soldiers was getting lower and lower. There were even a lot of deserters, especially the tribesmen of the various tribes that Egil passed along the way, and many of them were taken care of by the elders of the clan and directly looked for opportunities to escape. And it's dozens or hundreds, running in groups. On the other hand, of course, there were some tribes that were slaughtered by the Normans, and the rest joined Vytautas's army in revenge.

Vytautas also took advantage of the situation to promote the atrocities of the Normans in the army.

"How can you have illusions about wolves and wild beasts? Do you want to join the Normans, who devour your land like locusts and tear your relatives like hungry wolves? Come to your senses, soldiers! The more times like this, the more we must unite! Unite all the Lithuanians, all the Estonians, all the Latvians, all the peoples oppressed by the Norman Empire! Resist the tyrant, rebel against his tyranny! Poland ...... Long live the United Kingdom of Lithuania!!"

Vytautas roared hoarsely, boosting the morale of his Hayabusa team a little. As a result, the number of deserters has decreased slightly. But war is not just about morale. The Norman army totaled 60,000, well-armoured and well-organized, and Egil was an old general on the battlefield. And if you look at the Lithuanian army, there are 30,000 in total, and the vast majority of them are temporary conscripts. There is no need to think about armor or anything, the organization is basically based on origin, villages and tribes. The commanders were also unprofessional nobles. And Vytautas, although he also fought several victories in Eastern Europe, but compared to Egil, who fought thousands of miles and made great achievements, it obviously fell behind......

Isn't it obvious who wins and loses?

At this moment, Vytautas is in a dilemma, he has seen through the strength of the Norman Empire in the past few years, and he really doesn't want to fight against the Norman Empire. But if you don't fight the Norman Empire, you have to sit back and watch the Norman Empire conquer the whole of Eastern Europe. Including the United Kingdom swallowed. At that time, how will Li Taobin deal with himself? Damn it or have to die, the difference between dying early and dying late. Of course, Vytautas could also choose to bow his head and surrender and serve Egil as his lord. But this is worse for an ambitious man than killing him.

If it is the Holy Roman Empire, or a country with a low monarchy like France, it will be forgotten, and there will be a comeback one day. But the Norman Empire was different, and the surrender of the Norman Empire meant that its road to hegemony ended here. From now on, the Juqi Juqi will be restricted by the Norman Empire. There is only less and less power.

So, in that case, let's give it a go...... In any case, Eastern Europe is not the only one who wants to rebel against Egil. The vast prairie has thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, countless races and tribes, and countless heroes, but they will not all be accustomed to that emperor.

Vytautas cheered himself up, and then sent a large number of rangers into small teams in the hope of harassing the Normans with guerrilla tactics.

However, Lithuania had light cavalry, and the Normans also had it, and they were even more ruthless than them. People and power are not in Vytautas. In terms of geography, Norman spies walked around, drawing maps to describe the terrain, and Egil had more fierce maps and three-dimensional sand tables, and when it came to familiar terrain, the Norman hussars were not necessarily stranger than the Lithuanians. Neither did the geographical advantage of Vytautas.

As for the time of day......

Is there anyone in this plane who is more destined than Egil?

The time and place are favorable, and Vytautas does not occupy the same. The Lithuanian cavalry could no longer eat in the battle against the Norman hussars and archers. The modern hussars and lightly armed archers abused the primitive archers, and they were simply captured. The various ten-to-one battles made Vytautas depressed and want to hit the wall. And in the description of the few Lithuanian cavalry who escaped with their lives, the Norman cavalry was as terrible as the devil of hell.

"There were so many of them — and they were so neat that they charged like a wall. The archers followed them, and arrows were shot from behind them...... Their bows and arrows are better than ours. So even though it's a little farther away, you can still have an advantage when shooting at each other......." ）
