271. The Eagle Army asked me to bring you a message
Now Gusrum is in complete doubt.
His proud army could not break through the opponent's defenses.
At first, he used the army of God to help him eliminate the Vikings who were at odds with him.
According to his estimates, even if the camp of God succeeds, it will lose a lot.
But the number of people in Ansar is increasing, so many that they can compete with the lice on the dirty man's clothing.
If this continues, don't say that if you become the lord of Denmark, you won't be able to keep the territory you previously controlled!
In mid-April, Björn sent another force to take over the territory northeast of Guthrum
There are not many people and they can't take command yet, but after a while, he will definitely be kicked out of the core of the summer army.
Worry and fear made him lose his judgment and try to negotiate with Alfred again.
On this day, when he anxiously waited for the messenger to return,
But the messenger of the wind and dust took off his robe, and said to him with a sad face,
"The crown prince didn't even let us in, he drove us directly at the city wall, and the heavy knights of Rome came, and the town of God dozens of miles away was now full of cheers, saying that the Romans had brought powerful weapons,
It can emit a fire that engulfs hundreds of people in an instant, what is it called a Greek fire ......?"
"You can't even do this kind of trivial thing, get out."
This is the second interview request, and the crown prince still does not give any consultation.
One of Guthrum's close friends, a warrior in chain mail suggested, "My lord, we can bypass that Flying Serpent Crown Prince and find someone else."
His name is Yin Sipu, he is one of the commanders under Guthrum, and he is also a think tank, and the two are a little related.
His robes were decorated with metal, and his armbands were made of gold.
He loved any shining jewel.
The eyes are small, not sharp, the nose is flat, and compared to other Vikings, the facial features cannot make people feel that they are rough and tough warriors, and the most Viking-like is probably the long hair.
Even longer than a woman's.
Tuffing his loose and unkempt hair, Yin Sipu said.
"Someone is more suitable."
"Who?"
"Eagle Lord."
"Looking for him? He's killed so many Vikings, and I've heard that he's going to 'Blood Eagle' our warriors. ”
"He is a wicked man, the church draws a sword, blasphemes God, kills relatives, and the wicked can always buy it, as long as the profit is enough."
"I don't have anything right now."
"Yes, the land of Wessex, you occupy a large area, and it is connected to the passage into Cornwall, and he has a vendetta against Theodor, and it was his men who killed Hestein."
"It's going to be Bjorn's soon, fuck, Ragna's boar and his piglets, whatever!
He had been a mere child of a lowly peasant. ”
There were no outsiders, Guthrum cursed angrily.
Strictly speaking, he had a blood feud with the Ragnar clan, and Havedan robbed him of the Danish throne and killed all his close relatives.
The Vikings revered the strong, and he survived by surrendering.
Maybe he was grateful at the time, but now that he is strong, he wants revenge.
"Anger only drives people crazy, and if we want to get Denmark back, we have to do it quickly while we still have the strength.
It was rumored that Hafdan would reconcile with the Crusaders and return to Denmark.
If Orlan really let him go, there would never be such a good opportunity again. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Replace the object of the Eagle Lord's trade with us, and let him support us,
Among the former Danish princes of your clan, the warriors who have the right to claim are the first priority of you,
You are the leader of the many warriors who can call the call against the Ragnar clan,
Their tribe went around to conquer and forcibly seize the territory, and the Saxon tribes east of Denmark, a large number of discontented people,
We won't let Hafdan go back, leaving only one Sigurd and dragging him to death in England,
In this way, Denmark is ours, the surrounding tribes, and we will do it slowly.
Don't be afraid of an old man, England will be his graveyard!"
"Eagle Lord ......"
Remembering the news that Orlan had smashed Uba's hand, Guthrum still thought that he was at risk of being bitten hard by doing business with the viper.
Yin Sipu continued, "Why didn't the crown prince talk about it? You see, in just one year, he has turned the ordinary towns of the kingdom into military towns, and the villages that were supposed to be looted by us have been armed.
The stone ruins left behind in the Roman era, the old city, were all demolished, and the ruins were put into use in the war.
Have you seen the map left by the Romans,
It is marked with all the 'choke points' and 'strategic points' of the British South......
The moats were widened, and the city was full of wooden fences, towers.
In the past, relying on maneuverable dragon boats, we grabbed two towns, and it only took three days to go back and forth.
It's going to be at least ten days now!
The town has become a military town, the middle road is connected, and on the eastern border, seven military towns have been born.
Even the waterways in the territory were used by him as a tool of war,
I heard that if he could defend the entrance of the bridge, he would control the upstream, and if he couldn't defend it, he would directly cut off the destruction.
It is very difficult to carry out inland river raids.
Not only him, but Mercia and Northumbria all used this method,
Except for the surprise attack at the beginning, the more we fight, the more difficult it becomes, that's why.
Unless more than 5,000 Viking warriors enter,
Otherwise, it will have to be delayed for a long time before the superior can be distinguished. ”
The current Alfred can use "Repair Town Madness" to illustrate, where he has recovered the country,
The first thing I did was to erect the wooden fort.
There must be a wooden tower, and the watchtower is built, so that he will lie down and sleep,
Otherwise, they will wake up in the middle of the night.
After the king fled west and his whereabouts were unknown, the people of Wessex instead united.
There used to be two suns, and each of the magistrates had their own support.
Now there is no dispute, the crown prince is the only heir, although he has not yet been crowned,
But even the Roman priests came to join him, and there was no dispute.
Once the internal hidden dangers are eliminated, Wessex, as the strongest in the Seven Kingdoms, will also be stimulated for war.
Thousands of Vikings plus the leading party, 10,000 dissatisfied in southern England, to fight against hundreds of thousands of countrymen,
Die one less one.
The new military service system is also the reason for Guthrum's stalemate.
In the past, the Anglo-Saxon nobles entered England and regarded themselves as conquerors of the Seven Kingdoms.
Lack of attention, the Vikings came to fight, and they were temporarily conscripted,
Training is not good, lack of motivation.
The crown prince issued a decree to change the law, allowing those who hold land to send troops according to the size of the land.
And the territory occupied by the Vikings, everyone rewarded them and sealed them verbally.
In layman's terms, as long as you can win,
The land is great,
The woman has a big one,
Anything the can have!
Some people are famous by the sword, some by the tongue,
The latter are often lost in history.
If the struggle for the monarch they supported fails, it will be difficult to leave even a name.
Charlemagne has been dead for many years, and his soul is still alive.
Vikings who are willing to fight hard, such as Hestein, are about to rob the Franks! to avenge the revenge of the year.
Vikings who were willing to learn, such as Yin Sp, learned about Roman culture and thus created a stronger Viking world.
Guthrum was finally impressed.
"Your plan is good, what are we going to do?"
"Swap land."
"Change?"
"One more defeat, let Björn command, consume him to death,
Then he withdrew from the summer army and divided Kent,
And around Kent, part of the land of Wessex,
Let Hafdan die in England again, and you will bring someone back to Denmark and be crowned directly. ”
"Isn't that safe?"
"If we give the land to the Eagle Lord, he will definitely have a conflict with the crown prince and can't distinguish between God, and besides, we just need to convert."
"What did you say!"
Even as Odin believers, Finland and Sweden have different rituals.
If there is a God, then which denomination should we believe?
Rollo believed in God, and is now the Grand Duke of the Franks, living better than any Viking chieftain.
If you want to believe, you will believe in the strongest God, but who is the strongest now?
I can't tell the difference.
So, take a step back and trust in the most beneficial God, the cross. ”
Guthrum was silent.
Yin Sipu tied up his waist-length hair, and then took off his armor.
"It's so hot, several times hotter than all of us in the north, why am I always dressed tightly and covered with my hair behind me?"
Yin Sipu muttered to himself, and then went naked, his back was full of burn marks, and there was not a single intact skin!
"When Snake Eye broke into the residence of the former king, I was a warrior guarding the first king, and your cousin was beheaded by him with a sword,
Before he died, he recited the name of the god Odin.
The daughter of the former king was dragged out...... In the midst of the crying, he died disheveled.
In the end, the 'skull' of the former king was made into a spitting wine cup by a mongrel who had been punished by the former king!
This man is a brother of Havedan's lover bitch.
He died early.
Now, it's time for revenge. ”
......
A few days later, the Guthrum Emissary entered the Eagle Lord's camp.
The conversation was very pleasant.
When he came back, he said, "The Eagle Lord asked me to bring back the wish to talk about it again, and it was successful, my lord!"
Guthrum breathed a sigh of relief.
The second time they met, Oran took Tuman and the others with him.
Meet in a valley where only hunters can be found.
Guthrum was also present.
His cronies behaved rudely, and when they saw the ugly appearance of being imprisoned in his early years, and his body was crippled like a mouse, he mocked Tuman in a dialect, saying that his mother must have been scared to death after giving birth to him.
Guthrum stopped his men, and they replied,
"My lord, it's impossible for this group of Ansa elders to understand."
Gusrum thinks about it, too, an uneducated Anglo-Saxon barbarian.
This dialect was learned when the Kingdom of Denmark changed hands and a group of Danes went to the east of the Saxon tribe to escape the limelight.
Oran is fluent in many Chinese.
The two sides talked a lot in Viking, and also agreed on a "secret language" after the war.
When Yin Spu proposed a string of secret words, Orlan smiled and objected, "Use that sentence just now." ”
"Which one?"
"Your mom is dead."
Orlan finished speaking, and opened his arms.
In the end, the two wicked people laughed and wanted to kill each other, but their bodies hugged each other very honestly.
