Chapter 21: Norway is in my hands!
The Battle of Hardangerfjord is over.
Vondolph looking at the post-war summary.
The army was divided into forces, and then it was eaten away by the mobile Dafa, and the Oslo army was only a little more than 4,000 people left.
More than 800 casualties, more than 2,000 prisoners, and more than 2,000 escaped.
In addition to personnel, a large amount of materiel was seized.
There was not much food, mainly weapons, armor, clothing, tents, and so on.
Bergen was rich, Oslo was not bad, and the armament standard was high, enough to meet the high requirements of the Southern Expeditionary Army.
Fill in and fill, and you can arm a regular brigade of 5,000 people!
Great harvest!
If we refer to the slight casualties of the Southern Expeditionary Army, which were only more than 200 casualties, it was enough to call it a hearty victory.
According to the habit of the Nordic house, recruit more poets to publicize and publicize, and it can become an epic battle in a few years.
Surprise attack on Oslo to make a fortune.
Raid the grain and grass camp to make a fortune once.
Now it's a fortune again.
It doesn't feel like it's coming to war, it's more like it's coming to buy goods
Good stocking!
The soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army who cleaned up the battlefield all grinned at the corners of their mouths.
The eyes that looked at Feng Dolph were even more fanatical and adoring.
Who can refuse to follow such a leader, with low casualties, great gains, respect for people, and no soldiers' blood!
Vondolph was also pleased.
But when he heard the news from Willy, he calmed down.
Blonde King Shenhai.
The blonde king, the king of Oslo, jumped into the sea at the last moment, wearing heavy chain mail and sword and shield in hand.
Someone tried to catch the Blonde before he sank, but the Blonde raised his shield to his head and pulled it down hard, and then disappeared into the deep sea of ice.
This is the end of a generation of ice legends.
Willie was a little embarrassed: "I didn't expect him to end up in such a way."
Vondolph felt the same way.
It doesn't have the feeling of fighting the boss when it came to dealing with the Blood Axe King.
But this is also normal, it is no longer two or three big cats and kittens, it is a strategic game between the army and the army.
The old Blonde King is not the Blood Axe King either, it is the Brawl Middle Ages, not the Magical Middle Ages.
To change it to fantasy, this battle is fought to the end, and the high and low have become the Dark Souls painting style.
He can imagine what the import interface looks like.
Blood, iron, and stormy Northern Europe.
The priest listens to the whispers of the gods in the midst of the fire.
The Northern Lights paraded by the Valkyries were the first to go out.
The Viking clan wandered in lightless darkness.
The Blonde King decided to continue the age of fire with water.
And you are the witness!

You have selected: Samurai.
Now you don't have a fiefdom anymore, and all your ancestors have left you is an armor and a Viking sword.
You seem to have forgotten a lot.
Because you are so close to the Great Day of the Polar Day, your blood has been roasted.
Can a tree that has lost its water still be called a tree?
In short, give yourself a new name.
Before you forget the name, keep hitting the road.
The battlefield was filled with thick fog.
There was a faint flickering fire in the depths.
Countless shadows suddenly appeared, and it was the warship of the Norwegians who had gone out to sea to trade.
At its peak, countless masts rose in the sea of ice, like pitch-black pillars supporting heaven and earth, making people feel like they were in the palace of giants.
However, there was a day when trade stopped, and war began, and ships were reduced to firewood.
The charred hull of the ship stood silently in the sea breeze, like a continuous tombstone.
These tombstones line up and lead you to a giant golden ship.
When you board the giant ship, the sails of the giant ship are suddenly raised, and the roaring golden lion on the sails is lit up.
"Blood for blood!"
The old voice echoed, and a large, bony hand clinged to the edge of the hull.
"The storm will bring new life!"
The blond head was raised, the sea water slid down his cheeks, and his figure was as tall as a god.
An unburned sail floated in.
Your mind is poured with a name.
The Blonde Mad King, Harald!
That's kind of how it feels.
It's a pity that this is just a normal medieval brawl, although there are some fierce people, but not to the extent of being fierce against the sky.
Vondolph thought to himself as he looked at Brunhilde as he walked over.
"Many of the chieftains of war have also fled, and will they not pursue?"
Looking at the calm and beautiful fjord, the silver-haired girl moved her sore arms.
Feng Daofu shook his head: "I can't chase it." ”
"That"
"Brunhild, do you know why we won?"
Vondolph looked at Ava and the other officers, "Talk about it too." ”
It is said that the sage is strategic, wise and brave.
It is said that Io blesses.
Excluding those who have no nutrition, these officers who have received more than half a year of military training can analyze the reasons.
"Our army is well equipped, morale is high, and the battlefield is our choice, and we have the advantage of terrain."
Ava summed it up: "Surrounded by water on three sides, you only need to hold on to one side, and the defensive advantage is huge. ”
"In addition, there is no way out, behind him are comrades-in-arms and their own trophies, with the quality of our army, it is enough to inspire courage and play at a super level."
"That's a good point."
Vondolf nodded, pointing in the direction of the retreat of the Oslo deserters.
"We have no way out, but the Oslo army has a way out."
"They can row and run no matter if they win or lose."
"With this way out, they won't be too desperate."
"This increase and decrease allowed us to defeat the Oslo army with a small casualty of less than two hundred, creating such a huge result."
"But the price is that there is no way to take the initiative to pursue, and there is no way to annihilate if you can defeat it."
Feng Daofu preset the battlefield and arranged the formation, referring to Liu Yu's Moon Formation.
In the face of the elite cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Liu Yu used chariots and shields to build arc-shaped fortifications by the river, and the infantry hid behind the chariots, and the three arms of infantry, cavalry, and chariots fought together.
There are a large number of Liu Yu's warships on the river, and once it is unfavorable to quickly get on the boat and transfer, it can also use the navy to do rapid maneuvers.
This formation lies in the back of the river and the cover of the navy, which can reduce the length of the line and better protect the crossbowmen, and the navy can not only improve the mobility of the army to harass the enemy, but also reduce the logistics loss, and finally break the more than 30,000 cavalry of the Wei army with nearly 2,700 infantry.
The reason why it was short-lived was because this tactic had great requirements for the terrain.
If the terrain is not right, it is very easy to be outflanked by the enemy from behind, and it is necessary to ensure that the opponent does not have the ability to effectively attack our warships, and at the same time, this formation is only defensive, if there is a lack of cavalry, it cannot effectively destroy the fleeing enemy, and cannot effectively hit the opponent's military force.
Therefore, the moon array only appeared in a few cases, and it did not become the mainstream tactic.
He is also using the simplified monkey version now.
The purpose of it all
"I think a head-on battle will annihilate them."
Someone asked suspiciously.
"The life of every soldier is very important to me. ”
"Rather than pursuing unscrupulous means, I pay more attention to how to create the desired strategic goals with the lowest casualties."
As soon as these words came out, the people around them were shocked.
Feng Daofu didn't seem to notice, picked up the iron horn, and shouted to the soldiers cleaning the battlefield: "On the first day you entered the barracks, I promised that I would never give up a comrade-in-arms!" ”
"So, I want to do everything I can to reduce casualties as much as possible!"
"We are far away from our families, far away from home, and we go out to fight, not only in the battle to unite together, we should treat our companions as relatives, and the military camp as our home!"
"When we face the enemy's spears, the shields of our comrades defend us against the attack!"
"When we were wounded, the hands of our comrades helped us bandage!"
"We help each other! We live and die together! ”
Under Vondolph's loud preaching, the fighters arranged the wounded in an orderly manner.
Since the beginning of the Norse tribe, Vondolph has been training a team of doctors and improving medical concepts.
This is much easier and more important than steelmaking.
Some people clean up the blood, some drive away floaters, some are responsible for carrying and supporting the wounded, and some skillfully help doctors pull arrows, debride and bandage.
There were also people who cut down branches, made stretchers and fixed planks.
The thigh fracture used to have a nickname of the last fracture in life, the muscle is very thick, it is difficult to reduce and treat, and it is easy to endanger the large blood vessels in the leg.
But now such seriously injured people have a chance to be cured, and most of the minor injuries can be returned to the company.
The entire treatment operation was carried out in an orderly manner and with great efficiency.
It didn't take long for the wounded to be treated.
"They will become veterans and become the source of combat effectiveness of the 1st Brigade."
Vondolf never forgot to lecture: "These pre- and post-war work are the most important places in the military. ”
"It's like this battle."
"When we completed the Ice Gorge Blitz, we had the victory in our hands."
When Feng Daofu said this, he thought of the battle of Pengcheng during the battle between Chu and Han.
The 30,000 elite soldiers led by Xiang Yu faced the hundreds of thousands of princes led by Liu Bang.
With such a disparity in strength, Xiang Yu was still able to defeat the strong with the weak, the reason was that before the battle, the coalition army was copied by Xiang Yu.
In ancient times, communications were backward, and commanders could not necessarily know the overall situation.
Xiang Yu first scolded Fan Xu, and then began to maneuver to fight, which led to Liu Bangjun only knowing that someone had been defeated, but not how many people had been defeated.
As soon as the news of the defeat was too much, it gave people the illusion that the whole army was being surrounded and beaten, and it dealt a powerful blow to the coalition forces in terms of morale.
Xiang Yu then adopted the tactic of directly attacking Liu Bang's command center, insisting that the enemy commander would chase and fight fiercely, paralyzing Liu Bang's command system, and he was unable to organize the army to resist from beginning to end, and was finally completely defeated.
can do it here, on the one hand, Xiang Yu is strong enough, and on the other hand, Liu Bangjun has given him a chance.
Liu Banghan set out from the capital Liyang in March of the second year, occupied Pengcheng in April, and the Battle of Pengcheng occurred in the same month.
From the dispatch of Liu Bang's troops to the end of the battle of Pengcheng, it was no more than two months and no more than sixty days.
Liyang is more than 760 kilometers away from Pengcheng (Xuzhou) in a straight line, that is, more than 1,500 miles, considering the tortuous route of Liu Bang's march and the conversion between the Han Dynasty and the present, Liu Bang's march distance is actually more than 2,000 Han miles, a veritable thousand-mile crusade.
After deducting the marching time, Liu Bang took no more than ten days to assemble his army.
Assuming that the Han army marched from Liyang to Pengcheng in fifty days, the average daily march was more than forty Han li.
On the way, he also stayed in Luoyang for three full days, mourning for Emperor Yi and actually attacking Hanoi.
Such a rapid march comes at a price.
That is, 'fighting for profit' must be 'two-thirds to'.
The Han army marched at a speed of more than forty miles, how many people could reach Pengcheng?
The long and fragile supply lines of the coalition forces are also where their death lies in the hole.
The Han army was scattered, so the Chu army encountered only sporadic resistance along the way from Xiao to Pengcheng.
But Xiang Yu can march so accurately, in addition to having a keen sense of smell on the battlefield, he must also clearly know Liu Bang's deployment and collect a large amount of intelligence before the war.
- If you can march accurately without intelligence, then it is not called smell, but divination.
Feng Dolph's battle is somewhat similar to the battle of Pengcheng.
He admits that he doesn't have Xiang Yu's natural battlefield sense, but he does a better job of intelligence work.
After traversing five hundred kilometers of mountainous terrain and completing the Ice Gorge Blitzkrieg, the persecuting Oslo army must turn back against him, at which point they will disperse and encroach.
By the time the Oslo army came to its senses, it had already been eaten up by half.
There was no grain and grass, no booty, and the legion lost more than half.
This was a heavy blow, and Feng Dolph originally expected that the Oslo army would probably disintegrate on its own.
No matter how well organized and tenacious the Viking warriors were, they were not regular armies, let alone the discipline of those historically strong armies.
They have their own demands for war.
Now there is nothing left, and the possibility of a mutiny is extremely high.
- if not for the Blonde King.
The blonde king was able to stabilize the army's heart, which was something Feng Daofu didn't expect.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Even if we can stabilize the morale of the military, contradictions still exist, and we will inevitably transfer internal contradictions to the outside.
Sure that the Oslo army was going to turn back and hammer him, Vondolph was already choosing a battlefield.
The carefully selected Buttomo Formation successfully held the Oslo Army's most demoralized initial offensive.
Again and again, again and again, and again and again, and again and again, and again and again.
Facing the moon formation that gave up its mobility and stretched its defensive advantage to the fullest.
When the Oslo army was slow to attack, and its morale and physical strength were completely exhausted, it was the Plate Armor Oracles who led hundreds of heavy infantry and completely crushed them
Being able to win a hearty victory can be said to be the result of Feng Dolph's exhaustion.
Although there is no annihilation, sometimes these people are more useful alive than dead
"Obtain the Blonde King's Treasure: Heimdall's Horn!"
When the salvage blonde king accidentally salvaged a high-grade treasure.
Vondolph also got the news he wanted from the spies.
"Olaf III personally led Bergen's army in pursuit, and when he marched 60 kilometers, he encountered the remnants of Oslo who had turned back."
"Due to physical exhaustion and lack of time to arm, the army of Bergen was shocked and collapsed."
"Not only that, but because the ground was muddy, Olaf III was afraid of getting dirty and rode his horse."
"While he was trying to salvage the situation, the horse's hooves 'accidentally' stumbled on the mud, and Olaf III fell from his horse and was seriously injured and fell into a coma."
When Feng Daofu looked at the news, although his face was smiling, he was very sad and angry in his heart.
"For the safety of father-in-law No. 3, for the princess's dowry, Bergen is not attacked by pirates."
"I've decided to send the army to Bergen!"
Xiang Wang Naixi from Xiao, the morning attack on the Han army and east to Pengcheng, in the middle of the day, broke the Han army. killed more than 100,000 Han soldiers. The Han soldiers all went south to the mountains, and Chu pursued to the east of Lingbi on the water. However, the Han army was squeezed by Chu and killed, and more than 100,000 Han soldiers entered Suishui, and Suishui did not flow.
The battle of Pengcheng is a bit mysterious.
Where is Lingbi Dongsui Water? To the south of present-day HB City, near Suishui, HB City is more than 50 kilometers away from Xuzhou (Pengcheng).
The distance between Huaibei and Xuzhou is farther than the distance from Xiao County to Xuzhou, and it is impossible to reach it in a day of marching at an ordinary speed.
The Chu army began to move eastward from Xiao County to attack Pengcheng in the morning, and arrived at Pengcheng at noon to break the Han army, and then the Han army retreated to the south, and the Chu army also continued to pursue.
The Chu army has been fighting for more than ten hours, and can it continue to chase Baili non-stop?
I think Liu Bang knew that Pengcheng had limited troops and was not enough to resist, so he gathered his army and retreated south.
- The Chu army attacked from the west, and the north needed to cross the river, which would be attacked by the Chu army, and the east was still Chu, so it could only retreat to the south.
The Han army fought and retreated, and the Chu army was also pursuing, but both sides were exhausted.
By evening, the Han army had retreated to the Suishui area, and the Chu army had given up pursuing the Han army.
First, the soldiers were tired, and second, they could not fight at night.
The next day, Liu Bang fled.
Naturally, the legendary gale save did not happen and existed only in the story.
