Chapter 9: The End of the King of Sweden

Although at this moment, after a long day of high-intensity fighting, the Norman warriors were all about to lie down tired. However, under Egil's strict orders, the poor fellows produced by these systems, or incorporated into the system after the defection of the natives, were nominally warriors, but in fact were more like contract workers, and continued to fight desperately under Egil's strict orders.

At this moment, the sun is about to set, and the light is already scarce. Seeing that their lord had not given any orders for a short time, the knights of the guards under Egil's command brought dozens of torches from the baggage soldiers in the camp to at least make this tower quite bright.

I hope it won't become a target for the other party.

Well, in this era, there are no manned space vehicles such as griffons and dragons, and there is no tricky magic such as flying and winging. Egil was clearly safe in the rear.

Egil stared at the battlefield with great nervousness. The sun was about to set without noticing the slightest hint of the sun - at this moment the war was at a fever pitch, and with the fierce battle between the Cossack cavalry and the Norman heavy cavalry on the right flank, on the left flank, the remaining Norman heavy cavalry, together with the professional hussars, was in a scuffle with the Muscovite army, which had lost part of its men.

And the frontal battlefield - if Rurik had collapsed an hour or two earlier, the coalition forces should have completely collapsed by now. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Although the front was further compressed. At the same time, deserters have appeared in large numbers - but after Gustav used the Nordic Lion stunt, the Swedes' attack and defense increased dramatically, and morale instantly returned to a level. Let the crumbling front be stable again.

“...... Damn, damn it, damn it, damn it!!!!"

Seeing that the attack of his own army was being thwarted, many Swedes, who were fleeing in confusion, also rejoined the battle. The battle seems to have no end in sight. Enraged, Egil drew his command knife and slashed at the torch beside him. At the same time, the stunt Hades Scream was unleashed - in an instant, a great sense of fear enveloped the battlefield, and the retreat that had been stopped once again came.

"Assault!Order a hundred royal knights on the left and right flanks to assault!Continue to attack the enemy's right flank!!All the remaining reserves are thrown into battle!!" Egil took a few quick steps after giving such an order, and turned on his horse.

"Follow me!" Egil gave the order, and the knights of the guard quickly ran down from the high platform - some of them were quite good at themselves, and jumped directly from the tower more than five meters high.

In the end, the battle with Gustav turned into one that had to be won in person. Thinking of this, Egil sighed a little, Gustav Adolf is indeed a very difficult opponent. But if all goes well, then I won't see that guy again after today. Even if he could escape, Sweden would be captured by Egil, and Gustav would have to be a wretched creature under the fence. It's very difficult to make a comeback.

But Egil will never feel pity, only happiness. He's not the type of person who likes to challenge the high. It's not the kind of neurosis that will be idle and bored, so cultivate opponents by yourself, and finally raise tigers. According to the level of the game,It's the most basic kind.,Like to use cheats.,Find bugs.,And at the lowest difficulty, while drinking orange juice, use the mouse to control the character and kill all kinds of monsters.。 It would be great if everything went smoothly.

That's it. After Egil stepped into battle, the Norman army was inspired by Egil, and at the same time, under the terrifying brutality of Egil's 16 points and the brutal effect of death, Egil was invincible, and the equally exhausted coalition soldiers broke down and fled.

"Damn, bazi - this time it's a loss - go, go, don't fight!!" Then, like dominoes, the defeat was like a mountain. The rout of one person caused fear among dozens of people around him, the rout of five people can affect hundreds of people, and the escape of ten people together can affect the men and horses of a battalion...... And at this critical juncture, the Cossacks were unreliable, although in the face of the Norman hoplites, there was still a battle force, to the present, still has more than 2,000 horses, can be said to be the strongest force in the coalition today, but the Cossack leaders did not hesitate to choose to flee.

Therefore, the Cossack mercenaries belonged to the most unrestrained kind, extremely fickle, extremely unreliable mercenaries - after a whistle, the Cossack cavalry quickly turned around, ignored the Norman cavalry engaged with them, and fled straight away. This behavior was inexplicable to the Normans who were engaged in the war - but they were light cavalry, and they had not been in the war for long, so their physical strength was better than their own. In this way, I will definitely not be able to catch up. In that case, let's switch opponents and continue to fight.

Thus, the large-scale heavy cavalry assault on the opponent's flank, which Egil had been waiting for for a long time, occurred. And Rurik, who actually served as the garrison of the right flank, had already fled in disarray with the remnants of Novgorod's army. Therefore, this time, it was the Swedes who were forced to suffer by the impact of 1,000 or hundreds of cavalry.

As mentioned before, the vast majority of the Swedes who participated in the war this time were improvised farmers, and some of them were not even fully armed, and they were able to fight against Egil's elite army with their blood and bravery, but it was thanks to Gustav's extremely high virtue and the skill bonus of the Nordic Lion - but after that, Egil also stepped on the battlefield, so that the brutality value was extremely high, and the skill bonus of Hades Scream. Directly neutralizes Gustav's abilities. Once again, the Swedes were hit hard by the cavalry on the flanks, but they could no longer hold out and retreated at once.

"Damn...... It can't be fought any longer. Retreat!" After this, Semenovsky also made such a judgment, when the Cossacks retreated before, he felt that something was wrong, and he had long been ready to flee, and at this moment he didn't even have to react too much, he directly turned his horse's head and fled with his own guards cavalry. At this point, the Grand Duke of Moscow [***] team collapsed on all fronts. The freed professional hussars, as well as the Norman hoplites on the left flank, also began to attack the Swedes in disarray.

The entire form of the battlefield has become irreversible. The commanders of the three countries have fled to the Triple Alliance. Gustav was the only one left, helpless to see his own army rushing to the ground.

The other two did escape. They still have territory, they still have soldiers, the land has not fallen, as long as they escape, they can regroup and start again. But Gustav can't, his kingdom is Sweden, he is the king of Sweden, born in Sweden, raised in Sweden, then, destined to return to Sweden.

Therefore, Gustav ignored the anxious admonition of the guards next to him: "Hurry up and retreat, Your Majesty!

Although he knew that these servants were for his own good, Gustav still smiled sarcastically. Run away? Again? He couldn't stand such grievances. And, even if it's an escape...... Where can you flee to? Stockholm? I've already fought a siege before. It also proves that the place can't be held at all. So, flee to Novgorod and survive under the wing of your former rivals? ha...... Gustav asked himself, he hadn't been so cheap as to that extent.

Well, let's die a glorious battle. Die here in battle, torn apart by the enemy's longbows and arrows, tomahawk cavalry and spears. After that, the head hung high above the barrel of the gun, as evidence. As the Vikings often do...... That kind of ending is the most suitable for you.

"All! Attack !!"

At this thought, Gustav did not hesitate, drew his long sword and pointed it straight at the sky, and then took the lead and rushed to the chaotic battlefield. After being inspired by their own king, Gustav's guards and knights were also enthusiastic and followed Gustav to the battlefield.

In this way, an extremely discordant scene appeared: while the Triple Alliance army was fleeing in disarray, a knightly force of less than 100 men was charging. It's like a fish swimming upstream, not knowing whether it is alive or dead. It makes people feel inexplicable and at the same time, there is a slight touch.

It's a bunch, very brave fools.

May history record them like this: On June 17, 1002, the 70,000 men of the Triple Alliance of Sweden, Novgorod, and the Grand Duchy of Moscow collapsed, except for the Swedish king Gustav, less than 100 men rushed up against the tide and fought bravely. No one retreated until death.

The next day. As most of his soldiers returned to the camp to fall asleep, an anxious Egil finally waited for the news he wanted: Gustav Adolph's body had been found.

The Norman king, who was slightly relieved, could no longer bear it, and hurried out of the barracks while laughing. The corpse of Gustav, who had been resisted by several knights of the Guards, on an improvised stretcher, was seen.

Just as Gustav had imagined, he was hit by a dozen arrows in his torso, and his lower leg and right hand were cut off by an axe. After that, a large hole was left in the abdomen, which appeared to be an injury caused by a riding spear. Such complex injuries make it difficult to know for a moment what kind of weapon he died from.

"Are you sure, this guy is Gustav, could it be a costume double?" asked Egil.

"That's right, my lord, I've looked for quite a few Swedish captives before, commoners, soldiers, and nobles, and they all say this is Gustav. Also, his crown and the shield with the family coat of arms were found around. A knight of the guards replied.

"That's good. After getting the right answer, Egil finally put his mind at ease. At the same time, what he did was not unexpected: "cut off his head and stick it in the barrel of the gun." Egil ordered......
