Chapter 26 The Battle of Philland [2]
The landing battle was unusually easy and simple. After encountering several sporadic weak resistances, Gareth's leading troops have completely controlled the southern coastline of the Kingdom of Fieldland. This is the first time that the Vikings have come here as conquerors again after centuries.
The once brilliant Kingdom of Philland was simply vulnerable. No one expected this situation, even Gareth and Muhe themselves. The two generals finally decided at the tactical discussion meeting, according to Tiger. His Majesty King House made changes in several prejudgments. Obviously, the Philland people have no capital to resist in terms of strength. At this time, the whole kingdom of Philland is still in a kind of rotten faintness. They don't know at all that the Normans are like a huge python, coiled around them. Above the body.
The army was divided into three arrows, because there were no horses, and the navy was not good at riding. The heavy infantry, mainly Viking warriors, began a raging sweep, forming a great lethality in the coastal province of the Kingdom of Fairland on the whole coastline. The surrender of Philland's army was as high as 50,000.
These 50,000 people, most of whom are ragged, holding wooden sticks or tattered weapons, are not like an army at all. In the face of the wolf-like Normans, these people did not have the courage to resist at all and surrendered one after another. At this time, Gareth and Muher knew that in the battle with the Kingdom of Rildean, the whole Kingdom of Philland had been completely exhausted. Even the 15-year-old teenager began to go to the battlefield. Even Abbas, the king of the Kingdom of Philland, was still trying to call on the teenager under the age of fifteen.
This is an inhumane tragedy war, where the superiors quietly enjoy the last glory, but want his people to die for him.
"The speed of the advance is so fast. Half a day after landing, 24 towns were taken in a row. Damn, what did these Fairland people do? How can it be such a waste?" Gareth's tone was full of disappointment. Although a general wanted his opponent to be weak and be beaten by himself, psychologically, he could have a decent opponent to soothe his sense of honor, but he did not expect that the Philland people seemed to be extremely afraid of war for a long time, even if No matter how strong the enemy is, it can easily defeat them.
At the most exaggerated time, a nearby town with a population of about 4,000 people was directly taken down by an exploration team of 100 people. From the mayor to the viscount of the fief, they all came out and surrendered. The refreshing thing made people have an illusion.
This painless war makes Gareth have a breath of depression in his chest. He longs for a symbolic resistance from the Phillanders, so he can beat him hard. This pleasure is only my own, just the pleasure of being a former person of the Northern Kingdom.
The number of people landing in the entire Baltic Fleet is about five legions, that is, 25,000 people. One reserve legion carries out the protection and delivery of supplies, and the remaining four legions are left-behind warships as a way to retreat. This kind of caution is indeed necessary, and no one can guarantee whether the Phillanders are playing any tricks.
"It seems that the Fairlanders and Riel Deans have suffered a lot in the war between the two sides. To this extent, the Riel Dian people may be worse than them.
Mu He's eyes were shrewd and said confidently.
Gareth nodded and said with the same agreement, "The Rieldians originally bought food to maintain the food supply of the country. I'm afraid that the people who died this time will be several times more than the Felllanders, but this is a completely good thing for us. As long as the two areas can be managed properly before the autumn, it can generate several times the profit. This is His Majesty's wise judgment. What we have to do is to eliminate these rebels more completely.
With the resentment of the past, it can be said that the new hatred and the old hatred are calculated together. This makes people have a sense of collapse. It is not enough, but it is commendable that the whole Baltic Navy does have enviable combat effectiveness.
Sporadic combat effectiveness began to officially break out after noon after landing. Those armed personnel of the civil groups and church organizations in the Kingdom of Philland began to attack the Norman team, but they were often ranged by bows and arrows before they approached. By the afternoon, the number of people had died under the bow and arrow. The total is more than 10,000.
This is only an afternoon, and sporadic battles make people have to admit that the Norman combat effectiveness is close to horror. Even many aristocratic magicians have formed a small team of harassment, but it is a pity that the tough Vikings have become more and more easy in dealing with magicians. Archers and archers have thrown spearmen. This crazy combination makes the magicians grieve, and there is no place to die more and more. More.
The nobles began to give up resistance, and more and more people surrendered. At first, they just secretly promised some intentions, but when they found the ruthlessness of the Normans, many nobles began to surrender directly and sacrifice their property, even if they were just imprisoned and had a mouthful of food. Some nobles feel that today's life is really worse than death.
In the past year, the grain reserves of the nobles have also been plundered by King Abbas. No one expects that everything in this country is a stinky shit. They can't wait to bring their own lives and the future of this country to hell.
Go to hell, this is the last singing of the nobles.
So the messengers of hell came. The Norman butcher's knife did not scare the nobles of the Kingdom of Fieldland. On the contrary, when they saw these fierce guys, they were full of excitement. They knew that this time, they could at least die decently or eat a mouthful of food.
What a simple request, so simple that Gareth thought that these guys were born with lowly bones. In fact, they were indeed such people. Gareth then thought to himself, how long will such a situation exist?
The capital of the Kingdom of Fairland, far further north, the southern province of the southern coastal area, was completely occupied after a day and a half of Gareth's assault troops. It only takes one day to occupy a province. I have never heard of this kind of thing. There are a total of nine provinces in the whole Kingdom of Fairland. Except for the central province, which is the royal province of the Kingdom of Fairland, the other eight provinces have reached the point of erosion.
The northwest is even more disabled with the Kingdom of Rieldian. No governor of the Northwest Province has been in office for a long time. Anyway, he is dead. It's better not to take office. Even if he is impeached and eats rotten potatoes at home, it is better than dying in the Northwest Province. King Abbas couldn't wait to kill all the timid ministers. In fact, he himself was so careful, and he was even a little worried about whether the Riel Dean would continue the war.
But soon he waited for the lucky moment. Just two days before the Norman landing, the mission of the Rieldians arrived at the Kingdom of Fairland. Obviously, this was a negotiation. Abbas wanted to humiliate the people of the Kingdom of Riel Dien with the gesture of the winner, but his victor mentality had just been maintained. In two days, the news came that the Normans had landed on the southern coastline.
There is only one reason to attack them, that is, the people who carried out the two precision assassinations of the city of Tamsalu, a large number of Philland people. As for whether there is substantial evidence, the supreme ruler of Tamsalu, His Majesty the King of the Norman Kingdom. House said: Evidence? Maybe there is, right?
......
"What? Norman!"
Abbas's thin body held the parchment. Soon, the parchment was pinched into a roll in his hand, and then torn into pieces crazily, roared angrily, "Those damn despicable barbarians, how can they do this! If they do this, won't they be afraid that all people will destroy them?
It's just that such a roar is useless. The governor of Nanfang Province swayed his fat body and stood there lazily, which was very indifferent, because the slightly shrewd governor actually knew that this country was completely hopeless. Not to mention that the Fairlanders have no elite army at all, even if they do, will they be the opponents of the Normans according to this situation? Regardless of whether the Norman has excuses and evidence, even if he directly says it is aggression, what can you do? This is the reality. And the governor of the southern province, who just saw through this, was no longer interested and numb.
He doesn't know what else to do next. If he is allowed to resist the so-called aggressor Normans, he will definitely surrender without hesitation. The reason why he did not surrender now is that he just did his best to show the tenderness of the nobles and came back to report the situation to His Majesty the fantasy King Abbas. Because so far, he is the only one who has come to the royal capital to tell His Majesty King Abbas what the damn Norman is doing.
Although Abbas is extremely angry, that is not the point at all. It has happened. What should we do? The great nobles actually have their own solutions. What they are waiting for is to see what kind of path the nominal national leader, His Majesty King Abbas, will choose.
Even if the people of the Kingdom of Riel Dean give in to you now, so what? This is just the cooperation of two beggars. In the face of a strong millionaire, everyone can only choose silence, and it is endless silence.
This time, any nobleman of the Kingdom of Fairland felt that it seemed that the road of this country was coming to an end.
