When this sudden rainstorm gradually became smaller and smaller, and finally stopped, and the dark clouds cleared, the sky was already full of stars. It makes people feel like, "Ahhh
The campaign is over. After the commando team led by Robin Hood launched an attack from the enemy's diagonal rear, the already chaotic army of the forest elves became more and more chaotic. Eventually, the poor tree monkeys were divided and surrounded in half by the Norman army. Immediately after that, they continued to be divided, and on the broken mountain road, it was difficult for the armies themselves to take care of each other. Not to mention the bad weather in such a torrential rain. The forest elf troops are completely indistinguishable from the north, south, east, and west. Even many people stepped on the air with a very moving foot and fell down the mountain several hundred meters high, shattering their bones.
Of course, the army of the Norman Empire was no better. Although the Norman armies generally came across as orderly, rigorous, or something like that, in such extreme circumstances, the Normans began to wake up to the Viking bloodlines. The soldiers all became furious and furious. And in this kind of weather, it is extremely difficult for officers to command. So.......
"It's really unpleasant. "Egir has already taken off the white fox fur at this moment, and threw it to a guard knight. Then he took off the clothes of his upper body and his armor together. Exposed his strong chest, let the rain wash his body. It made him feel a little better. It's more comfortable to stick to your body than wet Dada's clothes.
"We would have had the upper hand! if it weren't for this heavy rain. Then we can easily win. I really didn't expect it...... , I don't know how many people will die at once. Egil thought to himself. His eyes looked straight ahead, as if he could see through the rain and fog the situation of the battlefield in front of him.
Of course, you can't actually see anything.
This battle, although in the end, ended in the victory of the Norman Empire. But Egil couldn't be happy anyway. In the midst of the raging storm, the Norman army lost more than 3,000 troops. And armament. In particular, more than half of the valuable artillery pieces were lost in the confusion. Such a huge loss greatly exceeded Egil's expectations.
If it were to compete head-on with any powerful country, there would not be much difference in the strength of each other. In the end, three thousand people were lost, so naturally there is nothing to say. But after fighting with a rabble and gaining a comprehensive advantage, he inexplicably lost 3,000 men, and no commander with a big heart would pretend to be indifferent.
Not to mention, at least half of the troops lost were killed by a misstep in bad weather, trampled to death by their own men in the chaos, or even killed as an enemy.
The night was full of stars. Egir lay in his tent, which had been dried up with great difficulty, and listened to the elated Artoria while he lit the fire.
It was completely different from Egil, who had lost thousands of people and was in a terrible mood. Artoria looked excited. One reason is that she finally defeated the forest elves in the war (despite the fact that the commander was Egil and the troops were Normans), avenging her previous two defeats. Another reason is the previous rainstorm. It's rare for Artoria to go on a killing spree in such a torrential rain. In her opinion, it was a fresh, stinging and very interesting experience. ...,
"At that time, I rushed and rushed and rushed, and I didn't know what was going on, and I rushed into the middle of the enemy. At that time, when I looked left and right, there were hundreds of tree monkeys. And the tree monkeys found me. clamoring to kill me.
But what are they, and what are the people? It's just a monkey, and he even wants to defeat Hongu. The final result is obvious, and Ichinomiya alone killed them all. "Excited faces, ostentatious words, and slightly exaggerated limb movements. Altoria, who is twenty-four years old, still looks like a child.
"Uh-huh. I really can't imagine that the great Majesty Artoria, who has been defeated by the tree monkey twice, is so capable. Egil was upset for a moment. It was even more upsetting to see Artoria so happy. I couldn't help but stab her.
"Fool, if I had used this method earlier, I would have killed those monkeys a long time ago. Where's your turn?!" Artoria argued.
"But you can't think of such a solution with your head, can you?" said Egil, knocking on Artoria's head with a gentle knock.
"......" was very unwilling, but what Egil said was the truth. Artoria wasn't an articulate man like her husband, so she had to pout, turn around, and act angry.
"Alright, alright. When that's done, let's go back to Krakow. I haven't been back for more than a year. "See Artoria no
Delighted, Egil smiled bitterly and hugged Artoria from behind. Said to her.
"Hmm......" Hearing Egil say this, Artoria felt a little better.
Two days later, the Norman army continued its advance. And the forest elves, who have lost most of their troops, can't even send enough troops to harass them at this moment.
If the Norman Emperor was tormented, the forest elves were desperate. The vast majority of the army was killed.
And the Young Rangers and the Elder Faction, who had always looked at each other unpleasantly, all died in the Battle of Brecon Pass. Now among the forest elf tribes, there is not even a single person in charge. After that rainstorm, the temperature dropped below freezing at night, and what had been expected happened. Many of the old and sick who had fled froze to death in the night. And the problem of undernourishment is getting worse......
"What ...... you are looking for",
Even the most optimistic elves are not optimistic when faced with this situation. I couldn't think of any possibility at all, unless suddenly the sky collapsed, and Norman's army of four or fifty thousand was wiped out at once. Otherwise, the forest elf tribe will absolutely become a term of history.
Surrender. As long as you can live, it doesn't matter if you are a slave or something. The forest elves were in complete despair for a moment. As soon as the elves gritted their teeth, they left the tribe with their families in tow, took the initiative to find the Normans, and begged for Egir's mercy.
But ah, the kind of mercy thing that has nothing to do with Egil. What's more, at this moment, Egil is still angry with the forest elves because of his own casualties. As a result, those forest elves who voluntarily surrendered, regardless of men, women, and children, were all beheaded by Egil's order. The first level of code is put into the Beijing view. The headless corpses were thrown into the forest, to be gnawed upon by wild beasts.
After this, the forest elves finally gave up their delusions. Since surrender is death, then it is better to resist. The last men of the organization, whether old or weak, women and children, were all organized into the army. Tear down houses, fortify the outer walls of the tribe, melt down all the iron, and make swords and bows. Under the infection of this tragic atmosphere, the forest elves broke out with extremely terrifying combat effectiveness. Although this fighting power, fueled by the will to die, does not guarantee their victory. But it can make the invaders, the enemies of the forest elves, pay a heavy price. ...,
But Egil did not attack.
Norman's army reached the last stronghold of the forest elves. Located deep in the Brecon Mountains, the last of them, the fortressed forest elf tribe. According to the forest elves' vision, this will be the final battlefield of the forest elves' heroic deaths.
However, Egil did not attack.
On October 7, it was unusually cold in the mountains of the British Isles. Especially after a heavy snowfall last night, the temperature during the day also reached about -10 degrees. The number of forest elves dying of cold and starvation is increasing.
Egil still didn't attack.
After another week, the forest elves' stockpiles were finally finished. Grass roots, tree bark or something, eating seeds and eating dead elf flesh or something, began to happen gradually. And the forest elves finally lost their morale because of their grievances.
Egil just doesn't attack.
October 21. The forest spirits in the tribe, those who can breathe, the old and the young combined, are less than five thousand. The so-called morale, the so-called will to die. The moment has been completely replaced by fear, despair, and hunger. It was at this time that Egil finally attacked. The Normans found that the biggest obstacle they encountered in their attack was the barricades that the forest elves had pre-arranged, shielded and frozen corpses. The expected carnage and frenzied resistance were completely absent. This made the Norman soldiers, who had been silent for more than a month, ready to go on a killing spree, feel bored.
They are not facing warriors with weapons in hand. Not even trembling civilians, just a bunch of living dead people with a breath in their mouths.
In such a situation, even the most ruthless Norman warriors were not interested and continued to kill them. And Egil, who has achieved his strategic goals, also feels that this is enough. There's no need to overdo it. Kill an entire race of forest elves.
"Demote all the forest elves to slavery and send them to Eastern Europe, where they can reclaim the emperor, mine and graze. Eventually, Egil made such a decision. The Norman army then stopped in the tribe and distributed food to the forest elves who were still alive.
Egil intended to give the elves a little rest. And then leave. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will not be able to leave the Welsh forest, and these extremely malnourished, hungry elves will die...... )
