Chapter 12 How Difficult State Affairs Become

The war was won.

Although this phrase appears a little more frequently. Almost every battle is over, but

There's no one who doesn't like to hear that.

The war was won.

Although all the more than 400,000 gold coins were snatched back, adhering to the principle of dividing half of the meeting, all the more than 200,000 gold coins were sprinkled into the mouths of the cattle (Artorian language). The Vikings don't seem to have the traditional habit of collecting money and doing good deeds without leaving a name, and I call it the red scarf (Egil). In this way, Egil's wife, who had been saving for a year and a half, shrank by half at once.

Tragic.

In addition to this, the losses of Egil's army were quite large. In total, more than 5,000 Norwegian warriors have this nest, and tens of thousands of people have varying degrees of hands. The patrol cavalry recruited before the start of the war was almost completely wiped out. What especially made Egil unbearable was that the trump card in his hand, the Norman elite knights, actually killed nearly half of them, a total of two hundred and forty-six knights were killed, casting a shadow on the entire National Knights.

Of course, the other side, the Swedes suffered even more casualties. In total, more than 10,000 Swedish soldiers were killed, more than 12,000 Swedish soldiers were captured, and absolutely no more than 4,000 escaped from the ascension.

Including Gustav Adolf.

What Gustav didn't know that night: as he looked intently back at the battlefield, Egil felt the same thing, and looked up at where he was. Unlike Gustav, Egil, with the help of the system (for two hundred bonds) saw the guy's physiognomy, short wavy hair, and a well-trimmed beard. And those eyes that are as deep as the deepest part of the Mariana Trench.

"Gustav Adolf, the Nordic lion, lives up to his name. Egil didn't recover for a long time after reading the casualty report from the system. In the end, he still said what Artoria had said before.

Then came joy.

"Wouldn't I be the one who defeated him better than he was?"

After that, he was despised by both the system elves and his wife.

Next to Egil, Artoria snorted and pulled the covers across the covers and turned away, completely ignoring Egil, who was shivering in the cold wind of the night. And in Egil's heart, the system elf said: "You [***] are stronger than him, the troops are stronger than him, the cavalry is more than him, plus you and your wife, one is brutal and the other is virtuous, and both of them also have special skills, which is equivalent to saying that two fights and one wins." In the end, it was a pyrrhic victory. You don't think it's shameful enough. What is the beauty of you. ”

Egir naturally knew this truth, and naturally understood that he still had a slight gap with Gustav. If the number of cavalry in his own army is about the same as his, and Artoria is not his wife, then he will definitely lose this time.

However, winning is winning, there is no if in history, history only records that on June 8, 1001, Norway and Sweden fought around Oslo. Norway wins.

If Egil is really like the system elf said, "very famous in the future", then there will definitely be a lot of people analyzing today's battle, the causes, the process, the turning point, what kind of consequences and impacts have been caused. The inside story of "real". Something or something. I can't say that it will be arranged as a movie and put on the screen in the future. Of course, if Egil doesn't do anything and ends up quietly spending his life at the level of braised carp. Then this battle will not be remembered by too many people. Because it's so ordinary. Now the whole of Europe can fight a war of this magnitude with great intensity. How much and how much to have.

So, we still have to keep working hard. Those YYs are just YY. After Egil understood this, he poked Artoria, and then took another bit of the quilt. After that, I hugged my wife and went to sleep.

The next day, June 9, 1001. After spending another day chopping wood, cremating the bodies of their fallen soldiers, and then throwing them into the sea in a small boat, and completing Egil's upgraded and improved sea burial, most of the Viking warriors were red in the eyes when they looked at the Swedish prisoners of war.

Question, why is Wu Anjun Baiqi's reputation in history not very good?

Answer, because the Qin Dynasty did not last forever in the end.

Egil pondered: is it his own subordinates who follow him to fight the world, who sells his life, and the brothers who can block arrows for him are important, or is it important to have a group of prisoners of war?

Egil continued to think: Wu Anjun has pit 400,000 people, and he has only slightly pit 10,000 people. It probably doesn't matter.

Egil finally pondered: Isn't the so-called war more capable of tricking people than anyone.

So Egil finally ordered that all the Swedish prisoners of war be buried alive.

This time, it took another five or six days. During this time, the Swedish prisoners of war wailed, and Egil naturally did not care about him. He had two other pieces of information to take care of: first, Gustav had gone to the Black Forest. He had sent a detachment of troops, led by Robin Hood, who was the best at jungle warfare, to make sure that the lion was caught, dead or alive. Second, Egil himself led a detachment of troops northward, preparing to recover the cities of Bergen and Biard. This kind of symbolic and not too difficult work is something that Egil is happy to do.

The matter of the pit man was handed over to his wife Artoria to carry out. This female tyrant is very handy with this kind of thing. According to her, she had never seen such an interesting way of killing people when she was with the Celts, you see: burying the lower half of a person's body in the earth, revealing a head, and not dying for a while......

Thus, by mid-June, Egil White had picked up the cities of Biard and Bergen, which had no defenders, and spent a great deal of money repairing damaged buildings and replenishing the lost soldiers. Another thousand patrol cavalry were recruited to do miscellaneous work. The 200,000 dollars were spent like water. And on the other side, Artoria is also done with the pit people. It's just that Robin Hood didn't bring good news in the end, and Gustav was Gustav after all. Although on several occasions, he relied on the excellent tracking ability of Sherwood Marksman to catch up with them. But in the end, they were stopped by the Swedish dead soldiers who sacrificed their lives. Eventually, less than fifty kilometers from Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, the tracking force finally couldn't catch up. I had to come back to be trained.

"I see. Egir nodded, but he didn't care about Robin Hood, and just as the captain of the longbowmen patted his chest and thought he had escaped, Egir said again: "This month's pay is gone." ”

Indeed, it seems that a powerful person like Gustav basically cannot die until the mountain is exhausted. Egir knew this, of course, but he was not at ease not to let Robin Hood take someone to give it a try.

After waiting for the longbow captain to walk out depressedly, the spy leader walked in namelessly, didn't say much, just shook his head vigorously. That naturally means that the assassination failed, and it was completely impossible. So Egil didn't say much: "You too." ”

It doesn't look like it's going to work at all. Or defeat the Swedish army again in a regular war, defeat the Swedish army again. Destroy all of Sweden - and swallow up all of Gustav's territory. and cut off all ties with the countries he might flee to, so that Gustav would be no different from dead, if not dead. And Egil's doing this is basically equivalent to unifying the Baltic Sea.

However, it was not easy. In the previous battle on the outskirts of Oslo, the Swedish army of 27,000 lost about 23,000, but there were still 3,000 or 4,000 men who followed Gustav to break through. Along the way, Robin Hood led people to follow, and as a result, half of the three or four thousand people died. Less than 2,000 people returned to Stockholm, but—

But the other countries along the Baltic Sea are still cowardly. None of them dared to make a move. The dark tide is still a dark tide, but it has not evolved into a strong typhoon. The name of the Nordic lion is still strong, and the name of the king of Sweden can still attract tens of thousands of troops. Although the level of training and experience points are not comparable to those of veterans. But if you want to defend the city, it will still be difficult.

At the same time, Egil himself did not slow down. It will take some time to recruit new soldiers and resume trade and trade by land and sea. And the spy chief also brought the news that when he and the Swedes were struggling, his own territory was also a little unstable, whether it was in the British Isles, or in Normandy, or in the newly received Danish territory, or even in Norway proper, there were a group of people who secretly opposed Egir's rule waiting for an opportunity. Normandy, in particular, seems to have enjoyed the support of the French king, and its tendency to read has developed to the point of semi-openness. The local nobles were armed in tandem, and the alliance was nearing its end.

That is, an uprising is about to come -- I mean an uprising.

It's not easy to do.

How difficult the state is.

Normandy has been in Egil's hands for less than a year. There is no such person as Artoria who can be married. No matter how thick-skinned Egil is, he cannot say such shameless words that Normandy has been a sacred and inalienable part of our territory since ancient times. And speaking of which, the French did not have a good impression of the Vikings either. Burgundy, Brittany, and the family of the King of France would never be happy that a Norse barbarian suddenly appeared around them. Therefore, it is still the same sentence: how difficult is national affairs......
