After another two days, the Dwarven King Wald still failed to convince their elders - of course, such an outcome had already been expected by Egil. The reason for this is because he also wants this guy to further realize the tragedy of Mingzhuo - that is, the efficiency of that tragedy to the extreme, and the sorrow of the politics of public foolishness. Eventually, Egil stepped forward, talking, and finally reluctantly getting a group of dwarven elders to accept his strategic plan.

After this, the army set sail from Auckland and headed straight for Inverness, a city in northern Scotland. After a day and a night of sailing, Egir left the group of dwarves who were vomiting up and down there, and agreed that the dwarves would cooperate with the Scots to attack the Northumberland region of England from the Scottish lowlands. It was agreed that the two sides would meet in Newcastle, an important city in the north of England, and after that, they did not even leave them basic rations, but only asked the Scottish allies to take care of them. Immediately after that, the Norwegian pirate army set sail, not knowing where to go.

After this, the dwarves ate Scottish-style smoked fish, cured meats, and rye cakes, and their impression of Egil rose a sad notch. After all, it's great to be able to walk on the ground without having to take a boat.

It's just that there's a slight problem here. The dwarves only felt as if they had been cheated on after asking their new Scottish allies - England had spent a lot of money on a defensive system called Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland because of years of war with Scotland. Further north of Hadrian's walls are vast expanses of forest. In short, if the dwarves want to reach Newcastle, they must first cross the vast jungle, and then they will have to hit their heads in front of the walls of Hadrian. After crashing down Hadrian's walls, he could barely touch the edge of Newcastle City.

I was fooled by the tears?! At this moment, even the purest-hearted dwarves had this thought in their hearts -- the Scots were quite happy. Their navy is basically less than or equal to scrap wood. Naturally, you can't play the frog-jumping tactics of the Norwegians. The attack from land was blocked by the English on the front line of Hadrian's walls for many years. There are countless losses that have been suffered in this regard. This time, Da Kaizi said that he wanted to accompany them to hit the wall. Naturally, the Scots were happy.

In this way, almost 20,000 dwarven troops, and the last bit of Scottish patchwork, a total of 7,000 troops, is still known as 30,000 troops, starting from Inverness to reinforce the front line......

And at this moment, Egil sat in the captain's room of his flagship, nibbling on white bread, while looking at the legendary map published by the system, and thought to himself: these fools×...... The army went straight to York, an important city in England......

At this moment, the whole of England was in flames, and the British army, which had been well fought and could stabilize the Scottish side, was defeated by the army of highlanders led by the new commander of the Scottish army, William Wallace, who was a civilian, and the main force was almost completely annihilated. The last resort was to retreat to Hadrian's walls. With the fortified city garrison.

And on the Western Front, the offensive of the English did not go well. Relying on the complex terrain of the mountainous hills and forests, the Welsh and their elven allies were broken into pieces, ambushing and surprise the English army throughout the forest. Slowed down the advance of the English to the extreme. Especially in Caernarfon, the number one town in Wales. Nearly 10,000 Irish-Welsh troops were brought together here. The garrison is extremely strong. England failed several attacks.

At this moment, the fighting has dragged on for two months. England was not as pre-war as it had imagined. Directly destroy the withering and decaying, like a bamboo, and instantly unify the British Isles. Instead, they were frustrated step by step, and the battle situation showed an anxious state of affairs. This situation surprised King Alfred, but there was nothing he could do. Although there were still fifteen thousand mobile troops in England. However, such a number can only make up for one of the battlefields at most. This was a dilemma for the king.

If this army were to be thrown into the Western Front and to attack Wales, it would be like a bottomless pit, and it would seem that there would not be enough troops to invest. The Celtic natives had a tenacious surname that was beyond Alfred's imagination. If they were going to surrender, they would have surrendered a long time ago. If they don't want to surrender, then it doesn't seem to be of much use to pull these fifteen thousand people along.

So, what about reinforcing Hadrian's walls to the north?

Today, Hadrian's walls are still defended by nearly 10,000 troops. The Scottish army, on the other hand, is reported to have almost 20,000 troops. Send another 15,000 troops over, and it looks like it can fight back. Alfred, however, still had one thing to worry about: Scottish commander Wallace was a good player. Counting the generals of England, no one is his opponent. Alfred paid for himself, that is, he faced Wallace, and the victory or defeat was also fifty-five. Therefore, if you want to defeat the other party, you have to personally command this fifteen-thousand-strong army and join the army on the front line to fight to the death. That's what works...... However, in that case, it will be a battle for the country. Victory, all is well. But in case it fails. Then his own death is small, and England's destruction in war is big......

Because of this, Alfred had a hard time deciding. I want to "look again" and wait for the northern line to be unsupportable. Or maybe after the progress on the Western Front. Then decide the direction of this army.

Of course, in the end, I probably couldn't go to either place.

After sending a bunch of dwarves away, the Viking fleet was noticeably faster. After Egil showed Carter the map, the admiral nodded in agreement. After that, a huge fleet loaded with 8,800 Viking Army, 3,400 Viking Navy, a total of 12,100 men, 50 light ballista warships, 50 dragon head warships, and 200 medium transport ships, set sail. The destination is York, the most important hub city in the middle of England.

Light warships also have the benefits of light warships. It's as if the legendary ship of a certain dynasty could not cross the Strait of Hormus. It does sound imposing and domineering - but you also have to think about the people of the time. What a tragedy that was. It's clear that the destination is close at hand, but no matter what, you can't get there. People at that time must have thought: it would have been nice if the ships had been made smaller and had less displacement at that time.

It's like it is now. The warships under Egil's command are basically dual-purpose models on the sea and rivers. I can go up to the sea and drill into the ditch, so I ......

"So, this ...... This one seems to be a lot worse than Hadrian's walls. "I went up the river and sank all the small fishing boats I saw. After that, the city of York is just around the corner.

"It's like a refugee camp. Egil took the telescope and looked at it, and then sighed.

"On the top floor. The system elf said, "What do you want to do with this city? Even if it is defeated, the other party will react quickly and send a large number of reinforcements later. ”

"It's better to give up after the fight. Egil said indifferently. Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of flag-singing with the flag-bearer at the bow of the ship. Fifty light ballistae turned their bows and fired an indiscriminate round of fire from the city of York. Immediately afterwards, I saw the flames in the city of York, and the women and children screamed and screamed.

"Boring. "Because it is inland, the defense of York City is extremely weak, and the defense awareness of the residents is not high. The Vikings met little resistance and easily conquered the city of York. This was followed by a burning, killing, and looting......

August 4 of the millennium. The Viking army marched up the River Derwent and attacked York.

Then, as Egil said, the Vikings burned and looted, and then returned with a large amount of booty - this war, except for the tragic grounding of two light ballista battleships, which had to be burned, a few of the lower IQs who fell during the robbery, and some English women who wanted to "beep" and scratched their faces, the Norwegian army did not suffer any other losses.

The spoils of war were discounted for a total of eight thousand gold coins, and with the addition of nearly five thousand prisoners of war, Egil made another profit. Sure enough, war is the most lucrative industry in the world -- if you win.

Next, the Vikings sent away dozens of transport ships laden with prisoners of war and booty. Evacuated from the River Derwent. Continue south.

Worth Bay. A good port with a fair sea - at least in this day and age of the world. Just visually, this area is not well utilized. After using light ships like the Dragonhead to reconnoiter the terrain, Carter carefully led the fleet to find an area of tidal flats where the water was deep enough and would not cause the ship to run aground because of the tides.

Immediately afterward, the patrol cavalry, the improved Viking tomahawk cavalry, and the National Knights scattered, and ten teams of thousands of cavalry, with the bonus of Egil's "excellent cavalry general", swept through the surrounding villages with great efficiency, and robbed everything they could, including the captives. If you can't grab it, you will burn it with a fire. During this period, there was a slight resistance from the locals. There was even a church where the clergy trembled with Bible crosses and questioned the Northlanders, who seemed to be fellow Christians.

"Aren't you afraid of hell?" asked the priests in trembling, angry voices.

After that, the Nordic Field Order (equipped with war horses) who came with the army opened the scoop one by one......

"It is God who has given us the authority to rise above the weak as the strong!" said the Battlefield Order's priests.

August 15 of the millennium. The Vikings anchored in Worth Bay, and tens of thousands of troops scattered in all directions, slaughtering all the villages for hundreds of miles around.

Immediately afterward, the Viking army continued south......
