Chapter 1057: Death Shines

Xiao Zhiyun was also thinking about it, and gradually had some thoughts of her own, "Are we too worried, the Swedes are doing this just to increase their voice in future negotiations and compete for more interests." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Whether it's or not, but this momentum is definitely not a good thing for us, ambitions are inflated little by little, if we let the Swedes taste the sweetness, there will definitely be more trouble in the future" Zhao Yougong knows the disadvantages of it, no one is a natural careerist, they all grow up step by step, once the Swedes' ambitions are inflated, the unlucky ones are not the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not good to control the Baltic Sea at all.

Xiao Zhiyun nodded secretly, she had to find a way to let the Swedes know that she was powerful, "I'm afraid I can't wait for the situation in Lorraine to have a result, and we need to deal with the remnants of the Germanic army active in the Istrian heights as soon as possible." In this way, the day after tomorrow, let Shao Lie and Gao Zhong lead the troops to Festak City, and cooperate with the officials to clear the remnants of Lothair. As long as the remnants of Lothair's army are wiped out, the Danes, even if they have the courage to fight us, may not dare to fight us in Kipros. ”

"Well, I can only do this at the moment, I really calculated it, I didn't calculate that something would happen to the Swedes" Zhao Yougong smiled bitterly, and the truth slapped this group of mercenary Swedes to death.

In the same way, the Danes did not expect that when the kingdom of Kipoula wanted to compete with the Orientals, the Swedes were uneasy and lonely, and quickly rose to the top of Lake Helalen. Fayunna got the military report from Lake Hylaren, his eyelids jumped wildly, to be honest, the kingdom has never taken the Swedes seriously, what else can this group of Swedes do except build ships and resell materials? It is this long-standing contempt psychology that has made the kingdom suffer a loss, no matter how much combat power the Swedes have, but standing up at this critical moment and inserting a lever is a variable after all. It is easy to wave troops to Lake Hylaren and kill the Chris family, the key is the Orientals. What if the Easterners take the opportunity to sneak attack? Fayunna hated the Swedes to death, and he was also very anxious, hoping that Lothair could hold on for a while, if he really wanted to talk about it, he still underestimated the Orientals, who would have thought that the Orientals would advance so fast and directly push Lothair's army into a desperate situation.

Fayunna is not a reckless person, he knows very well in his heart what the consequences will be if he fights with the Orientals, and he has to be cautious in order to launch a large-scale military operation against Kipros, he carefully calculates every step, for fear that there will be 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. (To be continued.) )
