The danger of the war had to be cautious, so in order to launch a large-scale military operation against Kipros, he carefully calculated every step, for fear of a loophole. But who would have thought that the Germanic people would collapse so quickly? The Orientals marched into Festak, captured Suplin Castle, and swept through the empty Saxon Kingdom in dozens of days. What's even more terrifying is that the use of thunder means to forcibly suppress which unruly Germanic nobles. If that were the case, the situation was not irreversible, but the setback of the Lothair attack pushed the Germanic army further into the abyss. In the past, Fayunna admired Lothair very much, although the kingdom and the Holy Empire were in constant conflict, but this old Saxon man was really difficult and skillful, and now, it really makes people look down on him, the elite main forces of the Orientals all went to the Saxon Kingdom, and the rest of the people were mainly based on the original Yanmar and Turov garrisons, and the real elite was less than 30,000.

It doesn't matter if Lothair is really incompetent or not, what matters is the next choice of the Danish Kingdom, in my heart, after the lack of strong reinforcement from Germany, Fayunna doesn't want to continue to provoke the powerful Eastern Empire, but if you don't want to do it, others will force you to do it. Since the Battle of Festak, the Orientals have been approaching the high mountains to the north, not only exterminating the local tribes, but also blocking the road leading to the south with the Baltic Sea. The intention of the Orientals is very clear, that is, to reach out to the Baltic region. The interests of the Kingdom of Denmark in the North Sea have been gradually reduced, and on the island of England there is almost no power, and if the Baltic interests are also controlled by the Orientals, then the kingdom must not fall apart immediately? At present, the Kingdom of Denmark is no longer as powerful as it seems, and there are many internal contradictions, and the little secession of northern Norway and the Swedes has already shown the problem. Without interests, how many of those northern nobles are willing to fight to the east with the easterners? Fayuna thought for a long time about this, and he felt that it was necessary to fight a dozen Kiporos, attract the attention of the Orientals, and limit the battlefield to Kipros, which would have many advantages. Once the war spreads to the kingdom itself, those potential contradictions are expected to be exposed little by little.

"This Lothair, it is really incompetent, if the Germans can resist for two months, we can nail the army of the East to Kiporos, even if we can't win, at least we won't lose too many benefits, and now, we are forced to the point of desperateness" Fayuna grumbled loudly, and Quasimotu happened to walk to the door, followed by a gloomy Grana, and before he entered the door, he heard Fayuna curse loudly. Quasimotu couldn't help but pout, in the kingdom, Prince Fayunna has always been known for his stability and elegance, what can force him to scold? The Germanic affairs are no secret, and if Prince Fayunna wanted to scold, he would have scolded him eight hundred times, so why wait until today? Grana had sensed the anger of His Royal Highness, so he didn't bother to touch Fayunna's brow, so he slowed down and followed Quasimoto. Quasimoto is like a mirror in his heart, but he doesn't bother to bother with a villain like Grana. Entering the castle, you can feel the gloomy aura coming from Fayunna, Quasimotu saluted, and said respectfully, "Your Royal Highness, the Knights of the Birds have been prepared, and Duke Vascro's troops and horses have entered the southwest of Yellinburg, and we can launch an attack on the Rogda Hills at any time." ”

"It's finally here, order Duke Vasquero, tomorrow I will cooperate with the Yerinburg garrison to attack the Rogda Hills, and be sure to take the Rogda Hills for me within two days" Fayunna clenched his fists, the nerves on his face beat, Quasimotu couldn't help but be stunned, should he be so anxious? "Your Royal Highness, isn't it a little wait, the Duke's soldiers and horses have bypassed the Baltic Sea, and because the Mengshan people are fighting, they are in such a hurry to attack Rogda, I'm afraid it will not be good for us."

Before he finished speaking, Quasimotu felt the cold wind swishing in his back, and Fayuna looked at him like a substance, his eyes full of mockery, "Hey, Your Excellency Quasimotu, do you think that this king has commanded the army for many years and has been crisscrossing the North Sea, do you still need to teach this truth?" In case you didn't know, the Swedes had joined forces with the Norges, and under the leadership of the Swedish royal family, they had formed a corps of more than 30,000 men, which would soon be ready to attack the kingdom's lands near the city of Kalmar. The Easterners have also solved the Kingdom of Saxony, and have sent an army of more than 20,000 people to approach the high mountains, how can this king not be in a hurry? If we don't fight again, we can drag the Easterners and Swedes to death. Now the Germanic people of Lothair are somewhat capable of cooperating with us to fight a dozen Kiporos, and in another half a month, hehe, after the Orientals have wiped out the Germans, with our troops, how can we fight the strong Orientals? ”

Quasimoto frowned, but he didn't know that the situation had collapsed to such an extent, not only the Orientals were approaching the Baltic Sea, but even the Swedes were tossing and turning, this was really a leak in the rain overnight. If you really want to talk about it, the Swedes can be regarded as smart, and if you don't move sooner or later, you have to do it at this time. With the strength of the Swedes, it is okay to toss on the surface of the Baltic Sea, but if you want to be strong on land, it is tantamount to looking for death. But the timing was very opportune, and now it was not only the Kingdom of Denmark that was interested in the Baltic Sea, but also the more powerful Empire of the East, an outsider. The Swedes can get more benefits by relying on this strength in their hands, and they are really worthy of doing business, and they can calculate so clearly at any time. At this time, he finally understood why Fayuna was so furious, and dared to be overshadowed by the Swedes, "Huh, if that's the case, then we must fight quickly, if we can't take enough strategic points before the Easterners can solve the Germans, we can only retreat quickly." The army is far away in Kipros and is not safe after all. The Swedes now occupy the Baltic Sea, which can be described as a strange commodity to live in, waiting for a price to sell, if they let them toss around the city of Kalmar again, our back road will be a problem. ”

Fayuna finally soothed, and Quasimoto was not too stupid. If the situation allows, who is willing to rush to launch the battle of Rogda, the hills of Rogda are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Orientals suffered a loss when they attacked here. Fawerna soon summoned the nobles of the army to discuss the details of the attack on the Rogda hills, and the tone had already been set, and no one would be stupid enough to play against Fayunna. On the eleventh day of the first month of the sixth year of Taikang, the Royal Danish Army, led by the Knights of the Birds, took the lead in launching a surprise attack on the Kipros garrison stationed on the outskirts of the Rogda hills. During this time, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the Danes were inactive for a long time, so the soldiers guarding the outlying garrisons were inevitably a little slack, and in the evening, most of them hid in adobe houses to make fires. The timing of the attack of the Bird Knights was very accurate, and while the garrison was cooking on the fire, it suddenly came out of the woods, and the defenders rushed to the battle, where could they stop the wolf-like Bird Cavalry? In just half an hour, the Knights of the Birds conquered the garrison, and the Battle of the Rogda Hills began.

The military situation flew into Cao Yuan's hands like a snowflake, and the attack of the Flying Bird Knights was quite sharp, and the outer garrison was broken through in an instant. To the northwest, a large number of Danish main forces also pounced on the Rogda hills. More than a dozen staff officers continued to make estimates, and finally had a general understanding of the enemy's strength, so they hurriedly came to the commander's tent, "General Cao, the Danes have deployed nearly 20,000 troops in the northwest direction, and this is the focus of our defense." Looking at the posture of the Danes, they are going to swallow the Rogda Hills in a short time. Although our army now has the advantage of the terrain of Rogda, its forces are too small, and it is necessary to ask for reinforcements from Vladimir City. ”

"No" Cao Yuan immediately rejected the staff officer's proposal, compared to the Rogda hills, Vladimir City is more important, "Although the Germans have retreated to the line of the Suzdal River, the remnants of the army can pounce on Vladimir City again at any time, the defenders there need to guard against a large number of Germanic remnants, how can there be extra soldiers and horses to gallop to help us?" If the city of Vladimir is lost, you and I will be to blame even if we die. Yelena's ministry is now fifty miles away from us, telling them to abandon Yerinburg and go all out to the aid of the Rogda Hills. ”

Yelena's soldiers and horses are not elite, and their numbers are not as good as the Vladimir defenders in Hai Dongzhu's hands, but Cao Yuan can only think of Yelena's soldiers and horses now. Although the combat effectiveness of the miscellaneous army of nearly 10,000 people may not be strong, as long as it is used well, it may not be able to play a great role. On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Fayunna personally came to the front line, and for a time the morale of the Danish soldiers was greatly boosted, and they began to launch a second overwhelming attack on the Rogda hills. The Danes relied on their sufficient strength and tried to get a result in the shortest possible time, so they recklessly formed a tight formation and advanced little by little, even if the Dingguo army continued to rain arrows, they still couldn't stop the Danes' attack. Once in the hinterland of Rogda, the Knights of the Birds looked a little embarrassed, because the cavalry could not play much role in this kind of terrain. Fawerna ordered the Knights of the Birds to bypass the Rogda Hills from the flanks and begin clearing the outlying garrisons.

"Report, General Cao, the left wing of Wei Dutong's headquarters has suffered heavy losses, and he asked to retreat" A herald ran in breathlessly, Cao Yuan's forehead was bruised, what was the combat effectiveness of this army under his command, he was clear, it took less than two days, he suffered heavy losses, and asked to retreat, you can imagine how tragic the battle was in front. Looking at the Rogda battlefield sand table in front of him, he kept looking for the location of Wei Ting's department, which is located in the northwest corner of the Rogda hills, holding the highest place in the northwest, once Wei Ting's soldiers and horses are withdrawn, the soldiers and horses on the slopes of the adjacent valleys and valleys around him will suffer a great disaster, "Order Wei Ting, even if he hits the last person, he must withstand it for half an hour, and order the soldiers and horses in the northwest region to withdraw to the second line of defense to resist within half an hour." ”

The herald didn't have time to drink a sip and hurried away. In the northwest defense area, the two sides have already started hand-to-hand combat, and Wei Ting's unit has suffered heavy casualties, and now it is not even possible to gather 400 people. The Danes still rushed up in a steady stream, Wei Ting didn't know if he could hold on for half an hour, watching the familiar brothers around him fall one by one, his heart was like a knife. Military orders are like mountains, even if there is no more unpleasantness, you must swallow it. Wei Ting didn't understand why General Cao would give such an explicit order, all he could do was to go on unswervingly, maybe he could guess some, his defensive position was the high ground in the northwest area, which directly affected the surrounding defense areas. If he retreats first, the surrounding soldiers will suffer directly, and I am afraid that it will buy time for the surrounding brothers to retreat. The soldiers around him all drooped their heads, even if they were lucky, they would inevitably suffer some minor injuries, in the eyes of the soldiers, Wei Ting saw loneliness and unwillingness, "Raise your heads, you look like this, the next attack of the Danish will gnaw you to the point that there are no bones left." ”

"Wei Dutong, I can't wait for it, why don't you withdraw, if you continue to fight, the brothers will fight out, and then the banner of our Tiger Battalion will be gone. Brothers are not afraid of death, but they have to keep a little incense, people are dead, the flag is gone, what do we have left? "For ordinary soldiers, they don't understand those big truths, but they know one thing, the flag of the Tiger Battalion is spelled out little by little for more than ten years, and there is an unwritten rule in the army, when a unit is completely annihilated and the flag is lost, then this army will not exist. The fighters did not want the Tiger Battalion to disappear like this, this flag carried the efforts of too many people. Wei Ting secretly clenched his fists and frowned tightly, "Brothers, I assure you that even if we stand to the last soldier, the Tiger Battalion will continue to exist. Of course, there is no problem at all with our withdrawal, but have you ever thought about it, there are still more than 4,000 brothers in the entire defense area, and we have withdrawn, what will they do? What we are doing now is to let more brothers live and retreat from battle, which has never been the style of the Tiger Battalion. That flag is not for people to see, but to be engraved in our hearts, we are brave, we fight for more people, and the brothers behind us will definitely remember us. ”

Woo woo, a bull horn sounded, the Danish attack came again, Wei Ting pulled out the blood-stained steel knife and stood under the banner, "Brothers, stand up, Xiongxiong Guanzhong, repair my armor, so far the land, coexist with me, under the scorching sun, fight to the death and never retreat!" ”

"Kill.... Kill..."A rejuvenated battalion of tigers was forever daunting, and more than 400 soldiers pounced on the crazy Danes. One, two, people kept lying in pools of blood, the icy cold wind swept by, and the blood clotted and turned into ice crystals. When evening fell again, there was only a heavy wheezing sound on the high ground, and in the wind, a flag embroidered with a tiger kept fluttering.

A Danish centurion placed one hand on his chest and respectfully performed a chivalric salute to the flag. A warrior is always worthy of respect, even if the other party is an enemy. In the command post, Cao Yuan sat on a stool expressionlessly, holding his hair with both hands, and his body trembled slightly. He was afraid, but he couldn't tell others, because he was the commander of the Rogda hills and the backbone of more than 10,000 soldiers. With a bang, the door was opened, and the deputy general Cui Lin broke in in a lost soul, "General Cao... Camp Tigers... The Tiger Battalion is over...."

Although I was mentally prepared, I still couldn't help but feel a sharp pain when I really heard the news. The Tiger Battalion has always been an old elite, and its qualifications are older than the Ruifeng Battalion, and it was a cronie of General Niu Gao at the beginning, and participated in the Battle of Wuzhou City and the Battle of Yinzhou, and made great contributions in the battle to exterminate Western Xia. In the Battle of Yongding River that year, the elite cavalry under the command of Yan Zongwang was severely damaged with a large infantry array, which shocked the Quartet. This is an iron-blooded soldier, the elite of the elite, and the prestige of the Tiger Battalion has been killed by generations of soldiers. However, this tiger battalion, which only had countless glory, was buried in the hands of his Cao Yuan. Cao Yuan closed his eyes in pain, he could imagine what kind of expression His Highness would have when he heard the news. If someone said that the Ruifeng battalion was completely annihilated, what would be the reaction? The destruction of the Tiger Battalion dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Rogda garrison, and after nightfall, although the Danes stopped attacking, faint sobs could be heard everywhere in the army.

The people who withdrew from the northwest defense area understood why the Tiger Battalion was completely annihilated, because they were elite, soldiers and horses guarding the high ground, and they had to be the last to retreat. The others withdrew, and the Tiger Battalion behind the palace had no way to live. The bodies of many soldiers could not be recovered, so they had to dig a pit to bury some clothing. Under the desolate night sky, the war is ruthless, and people are affectionate.

Time is like a knife urging people to grow old, but who can know the destruction of time on people's hearts? It's not terrible for people to be old, but it's terrible to be broken-hearted. The fall of the Tiger Battalion, like a plague, swept through the Rogda hills. No one cared how badly the Danes had lost, they cared that the Tiger Battalion no longer existed. On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, the Danes did not give Cao Yuan's troops any respite at all, and before the fog dissipated, a new round of onslaught was launched. On the front line of the Suzdal River, after learning that the Danes had stormed the Rogda hills, the remnants of Lothair's troops also regained their glory and began to approach Vladimir City, trying to contain Vladimir's army and help the Danes break through the Rogda hills as soon as possible.

In the bluestone castle of Vladimir City, Hai Dongzhu was pacing in annoyance, it had been two days, and there was no news in the direction of Rogda, which was not a good phenomenon, "Commander Wan, how many troops and horses can we send to aid Rogda now?" ”

Wan Tao thought about it, and said with a wry smile helplessly, "Hai Guiren, we can only draw out more than 5,000 people now, and this bit of soldiers and horses is a drop in the bucket for the current Rogda hills." ”

"Five thousand is five thousand, at the moment we are mainly defending Vladimir City, and the loss of five thousand people will not affect the overall situation, but for the Rogda hills, it is likely to be a life-saving existence. In this way, you tell Sukeza to gather the war horses, add the original cavalry, and gather 5,000 cavalry, and gallop all to the Roghda hills tomorrow. At this moment, we can't care so much, if we don't think of a way, we won't be able to get too much elite combat power by relying on Yelena alone. ”

What kind of soldiers and horses Yelena commanded, Haidongzhu is clear, half of them are Slavic recruits, and the other are Mongolian and Siberian soldiers, there are very few veterans of the real Dingguo Army, such a miscellaneous soldier, if you want to play a big role, it is really difficult for a strong man. Wan Tao nodded with a heavy face, I hope His Highness will do it quickly, if the main army stationed in the Kingdom of Saxony does not do it, Kipros will have to let the Germans and Danes mess up. 5,000 cavalry, this is the largest force that Vladimir City can come up with, and any more troops will likely change the situation in Vladimir City. In the final analysis, this is not the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, if it is the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, it will definitely not be difficult because of the troops. The Rogda hills have not yet decided the winner, but Lothair sees a little hope, during this time, Lothair is like a half-crippled person who has lost his soul, welcoming the end of the world, but the Dane's actions undoubtedly let him see a little hope, at this time, Lothair, what he lacks is hope, as long as there is a little hope, he will create a miracle. Under Lothair's orders, the remnants of the Germanic forces near Suzdal began to approach Vladimir again, and on the fifteenth day of the first month, a fierce confrontation broke out with the defenders stationed outside the city.

Lothair was bent on creating miracles, but Suggs, Baisel, and others were not too interested, especially Jorkoren, who had a sad face all day. How could he not know that there had been such a big change on the Hohenzollern side, and the church had been weakened by the Germanic nobility? The deprivation of the Church's right to speak and its legitimate military power also meant that the Church's status in the Holy Roman Empire had plummeted, and how should he, the most loyal nobleman under the Pope, deal with himself? Suggs and Bysel naturally don't have anything to worry about, the power of the church is weak, and it is not these Germanic nobles who benefit, but he has to find a way, with the hat of the pope's cronies on his head, once he returns to the empire, he will inevitably be killed by the joint efforts of the imperial nobles, and when the time comes, even if he has three heads and six arms, he will inevitably be defeated. During these days, Jorkoren has always seemed very anxious, the second siege of Vladimir City is about to start, but he has no interest at all, his net worth and life are almost unsaved, who has the heart to bird Lothair? After thinking about it, he finally thought of a way that was not a way, gritted his teeth and secretly cheered in his heart, in order to keep his family status, he had to ask for someone.

In a military camp on the banks of the Suzdal River, Sugus and Bysel were leisurely roasting the fire, without any worries about the coming of the big war, "Bysel, I guess you also received a letter from Lord Schwein, right?" I wonder what you think of His Majesty Lothair's affairs? ”

"So far, what else do you want to see? Lord Schwein's letter has already arrived a few days ago, and I'm afraid that Lord Dorle's letter has already arrived, right? Lothair was gambling with his life, and he would gamble even the slightest hope, because he had nothing to lose. But we are different, there are still many things waiting for us to do within the empire, and the Eastern Romans have begun to gather troops and horses, and they have the opportunity to bite us, so why should we gamble with Lothair? Bysel smiled coldly, and there was a lot less respect for Lothair, "Lord Schwein's letter made it very clear that once the Saxon army of the Orientals arrived in the Istrian heights, he would order the children of the Danube nobles to surrender. Lord Schwein has reached a tacit agreement with the Orientals that as long as we lay down our arms, we can return to the Empire unharmed, and what happened before will be the same. ”

"Hey, it seems that Lord Schwein has already discussed it with Lord Dolle, and Lord Dolle also means the same, and there is no benefit to be gained from the war in the Istrian Heights to this extent. Even if the Vladimir and Rogda Hills are really defeated, it is the Danes who will really eat the benefits" Suggs shook his head with a wry smile, of course he understood that it was impossible for the imperial nobles to sign any written agreements with the Orientals, everything was just tacit. The Orientals did not kill the killers in the Misty Forest, and they were already releasing this signal, and the imperial nobles could only acquiesce for the sake of Germanic interests, should they fight the Orientals to the end? Wouldn't that be a fool?

Lothair is thinking about how to deal with Vladimir City, and in the rear, the two most influential forces have already tacitly agreed in the city, whether Lothair knows it or not, in fact, there is nothing to be done. At the moment, the children of the nobles who are no longer able to control the Danube and the east, especially those soldiers of the Kingdom of Lorraine, are the most slack, and it is the children of Saxony who can really come in handy. The cold wind was raging outside, and the two of them didn't have the heart to go out, anyway, it didn't matter how far the war went, and they didn't bother to let their children blow the cold wind. There was a sound of footsteps, and they both looked at the door in amazement, for it was none other than Jorkoren who had walked in.

Seeing Yorkoren, the two looked at each other and smiled, knowing in their hearts, but no one broke it, "Yorkoren, why did you come here if you didn't follow His Majesty Lothair to attack Vladimir?" ”

Jorkoren smiled wryly, how could he not hear the mockery in Suggs's words, if he had been in the same temper as before, he would have pointed at the noses of the two and scolded them. However, the power of the church has been devastated, and his position in Jorkoren has plummeted, and he is no longer qualified to shout in front of Suggs and the others. Touching his chest and saluting, Yorkoren sat next to him with an anxious face, "Two, we don't talk darkly, everyone must know what is happening inside the empire." When Dolle and Schwein joined forces in Hohenzollern to do such a great thing, the heavens of the empire would change in the future. I don't want to talk about it, I don't have too many extravagant wants, as long as I can save my family's life. I also hope that the two of them can say a few kind words in front of Dorle and Lord Schwein, as long as they can spare the family, I am willing to give all the family wealth, and from then on I can draw a line with the church. ”

Jorkoren's heart was dripping blood, and the feeling of falling from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley was something that not everyone could bear. If you want to blame the Orientals, the Orientals not only swallowed Kipros, but most importantly, taught the Imperial nobles how to deal with the power of the Church. Smear, control, weaken, as long as you do it, you don't give the church a chance to turn over. The nobles of the empire slowly stood up, but he Yorkoren fell into blood mold. Sugus laughed secretly in his heart, thinking about how arrogant Jorkoren was in the past, how long has it been since he became so low-voiced, it is really a creation and a trick. In fact, what the Germanic nobles really want to deal with is the church, and they don't want to exterminate the Jorkron family, but they can get benefits, so why refuse? Bysel comprehended, picked the charcoal fire in the pot, and said slowly, "Yorkoren, remember what you said today, if you can't fulfill your promise, you know the end." ”

"Of course" Jorkoren's heart was full of bitterness, but the family can be safe and sound, which is the greatest gift, maybe the status of the family will be far less than in the past, but as long as the family is still there, it can slowly stand up again. If your life is gone, you really have nothing. As for Lothair's life or death, no one cares anymore, and what the Kipros war will end up like is a matter for Lothair and Fayunna.

On the seventeenth day of the first month, Lothair, who was patient with the old days, finally ordered an attack on Vladimir City, this time Lothair personally supervised the battle, whether he could take Vladimir City was secondary, but he must nail the eastern garrison here. The Saxons, under the mobilization of Lothair, finally surged with blood, but there are some things that heroism may not change the overall situation. Half an hour after the siege began, there was bad news. The Germanic soldiers in charge of attacking the western city defected and surrendered directly to the Easterners. As soon as this news came, the morale that the Germans had managed to accumulate was discharged, and if there were still some Saxon veterans to cover them, Lothair would have to wonder if he would be trampled to death by the rebels.

A siege ended in a nonsensical way, and upon returning to the Suzdal River garrison, a large number of Germanic soldiers lay staggered in their tents, their eyelids drooping, and they lost even their shame. Lothair scolded angrily, in such a short period of time, he seemed to be dozens of years old, and suddenly changed from strong to drooping and decrepit, "Can anyone tell me, what's going on, what the hell is going on?" ”

"Your Majesty is angry, it is the people of the Lorraine and the blacksmith family, halfway through the siege, they suddenly turned against us, and killed our people, which directly led to the chaos of the siege and defense of the West City" A Saxon commander recounted the matter with a dark face, and Sugus and Bysel stood on both sides with their eyes closed and did not express their opinions. The incident of the defection seems to be unexpected, but it is actually very understandable. In a cold and freezing environment, and there is no hope in sight, who wants to continue to fight such a meaningless war? Especially the Lorraine people, now that the Lorraine nobles and the Orientals are about to wear a pair of pants, it is understandable that they will fight back. It was a little surprising that the blacksmiths also reversed, and it seems that this group of stinky blacksmiths can also see the situation clearly.

"It's the Lorraines again, I'm going to slaughter them" Lothair had lost his mind a little, in fact, he was already in a state of semi-madness after the news of Suplin's bad news. None of the commanders and nobles in the tent answered this question, and now that those rebels have entered the city of Vladimir, how can they retaliate? He tried to persuade Lothair to leave Vladimir and join the Danes, but he didn't know how to say such words.

In the city of Vladimir, Hai Dongzhu frowned, she never dreamed that there would be such a big surprise, Lothair desperately wanted revenge, but as soon as she made a move, there was infighting among the Germans. Of course, Hai Dongzhu did not dare to trust these surrendered Germans, and directly threw these Germanic soldiers to the temporary camp to be guarded. There is food, drink and warmth, and these Germanic people are still very honest. Wan Tao has been in charge of investigating the defection, and he didn't figure it out until the end, "Hai Guiren, it has been investigated, and the leaders are the Northern Lorraine nobleman Jingtuke and Philip of the Baier family. ”

"No wonder, it seems that His Highness's divisive strategy still worked, hehe, after this farce, I don't know if that old thing from Lothair will be angry to death, if he dies, it will save a lot of trouble" Hai Dongzhu is quite a little gloating, this is war, kindness and compassion will only make you cowardly. Sure enough, after the defection of the children of Lorraine and the blacksmith family, the Germanic people could no longer raise their morale, even if Lothair was whipped with a whip, they still did not have the slightest fighting spirit. Sugus and Bysel remained silent, and a furious Lothair was eager to cut down the two culprits.

At the same time, the direction of the Rogda hills also changed, and the cavalry of Yelena's and Vladimir City arrived one after the other, greatly enriching the forces of Cao Yuan's troops. In particular, the addition of 5,000 cavalry added more means of attack. The Danes fell into a bitter battle in the hills of Rogda, and Yelena personally led the troops to rush and kill, as the women of Her Royal Highness, they all took the lead in this way, and how dare others lag behind. In this way, relying on Yelena's prestige, tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers turned into a group of vicious wolves. The Rogda hills have turned into a veritable meat grinder, and the two sides have fought over it repeatedly, and it is no longer known how many people have been killed or wounded. The war was so fierce that even a figure like Fayunna trembled, and the Kingdom of Denmark had never experienced such a vicious war for decades, and even when the Vikings attacked England, they did not pay such a heavy price. At this time, Fayunna is also difficult to ride a tiger, and when he fights to this extent, can he say that he is retreating, who can be willing? Whether Fayuna admits it or not, at this point, it is no longer the battlefield of Rogda that will decide the battle in Rogda, but the Istrian Heights.

"Report, Your Royal Highness, news came from the direction of Vladimir City, a few days ago, the Germanic army stormed Vladimir City, but soon a large number of Germans fought back, severely damaged the Saxon soldiers and horses, and now Lothair has been forced to retreat to the line of the Suzdal River" After the herald finished speaking, he quietly looked at Guan Yunna's face. Sure enough, the old and dignified His Royal Highness's expression was as black as the bottom of a pot, and after a long time, he sighed, "Hey, these Germanic people, they really can't count on it." Lothair, Lothair, you have been in the Holy Roman Empire for so many years, how could you have thought that you would fall into such a field, and you would cheat the Danish sons and daughters. ”

Quasimotu's face was very ugly, the progress of the battle in Rogda was weak, and the losses were heavy, and the Orientals were like chickens, abandoning during the day and counterattacking at night, sometimes fighting over a hill more than a dozen times. The left wing army alone has lost more than 6,000 people, and the right wing is estimated to be even more serious, and the most fatal thing is that there is also an eastern cavalry that sneaks up on the Chinese army camp from time to time, which makes the Danish sons very distressed. Originally, I was counting on the Germans to give some strength, but I didn't expect the Germans to give face so much and directly engage in infighting, it was really muddy and couldn't support the wall, and there was no hope, "Your Royal Highness, the Germans are completely out of hope, we have to find a way to do it, if we continue to fight like this, the soldiers will lose too much." ”

"Don't you understand this? But is there a better way? Even if you turn around and attack Turov or Yanmar, it's too late. Resign yourself to fate, many things are not up to us" Fayunna's tone was full of helplessness, everything that should have been done has been done, what else can be done? Other Orientals can fight, but sigh in vain? One can only hope that the Eastern army in Saxony will come later.

Unfortunately, Fayunna's idea was doomed to fail, and soon after, a large army of soldiers and horses appeared on the Istrian heights, which was dominated by cavalry, led by Yang Zaixing and Gao Chong. The appearance of this army became the last straw that crushed the camel, not only that, but Yang Zaixing's department also brought many Saxon people, the appearance of these Saxon people directly led to the collapse of the Germanic army, and even if Lothair had prestige, he would not be able to return to heaven at this time. Suggs and Bysel were even more unbearable, as soon as the cavalry of the ancient town came, they directly laid down their arms and surrendered, Yang Zaixing and Gao Chong had already been instructed, and it was not difficult for these Germanic prisoners. After four days, Yang Zaixing's army recaptured the cities of Psk and Kiev along the way, and finally reached the line of the Suzdal River.

Here, there are still Lothair's loyal cronies, and this battle is destined to be a tragedy, even Lothair, who is already in a half-insane state, knows that defeat is decided. Inside the tent, the curtain was lifted, and the cold wind swished in, and Lothair was unconscious, his hair was messy like a bird's nest, his face was wrinkled, his eyes were full of cloudiness, and his gray hair looked so desolate. The two Saxon nobles knelt on one knee and kept persuading, "Your Majesty, let's go, go to the Danish territory, with Your Majesty's prestige, even if you go to the Danes, you can still control some of the right to speak." ”

"Let's go? Why go? I have nothing, my family is gone, Saxony is gone, my family is gone. Dane? Do you think the Danes will treat us as human beings, and don't forget that in their eyes we are a group of evil infidels, who are the people of the god Odin, who will only enslave us. ”

Looking outside the tent, the snowflakes had fallen at some point, and Lothair smiled, laughing and laughing tears that had already drowned his cheeks. His name was Lothair II, and he was the king of the Holy Roman Empire, and he was once so glorious that he was admired by all.

Yang Zaixing's army finally came to the banks of the Suzdal River, and looking at this familiar place, he also felt a lot of emotion.
