At the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was a feudal town, but in Western Europe

Then when the enemy's formation is out of joint or beyond the support range of the rear troops, they will send out heavy cavalry in a neat formation to carry out split strikes.

In front of the heavily armed cavalry, the scattered infantry were like sugar cane waiting to be cut in the sugar cane field.

The reason why Feng Sen wanted to simplify Mangu's tactics was because he expected that the big Saxon brothers would be undisciplined, pull their hips before the battle, and turn the feint into a real defeat.

The victory of this battle is not so much the victory of the Mangu evil tactics, but the victory of the big coin tactic. For an army with poor organization and discipline, the big coin can be said to be the strongest first sight kill tactics.

The black flood was rushing back and forth on the ground, and the small groups of Viking warriors wanted to get closer countless times, but Feng Sen keenly noticed them, and then rushed them away on galloping horses.

Hongyang gradually sank into the sea, and Feng Sen's horseshoe stepped on the clanging gold coins, and chopped off the head of the last Viking warrior who was struggling.

When he looked back, there were escaped Viking warriors all over the mountains and fields, and corpses were strewn all over the land.

Looking at the soldiers of the Jingnan Army who kept charging and chasing after him, he knew that the battle was over.

Riding on the horse, Feng Sen stared at the data on the Clausewitz engine, lost in thought.

[Battle of Kiel] It was still within his expectations. In the previous battle of Santer Mountain, due to the huge gap in the quality of individual soldiers and weapons and equipment between the two sides, even if they won more with less, the Clausewitz engine only believed that the overall strength was far superior to the opponent.

In this battle, Feng Sen was still at a disadvantage in terms of the material conditions of both sides.

However, in this battle, he still relied on better tactics and overall planning to successfully defeat an enemy that was three times as large as himself. It would be nice to have +1 prestige for success.

The second is the achievement [Invasion of the Vikings]. Originally, Feng Sen didn't plan to complete this achievement at first, but because his income was far beyond his imagination, Feng Sen had robbed a little more, so he simply completed this achievement.

Feng Sen opened the achievement panel. This is called an achievement, but it is actually a bit like the mission tree in Europa Universalis or the national policy tree in Hearts of Iron.

On the panel, densely packed nodes are connected by long golden lines, and countless light spots pass between the golden lines.

These achievements seem to be many, but some achievements are actually mutually exclusive, such as [Emperor's favorite minister] and [Queen's face head], one asked to become one of the twelve warriors of Charlemagne, and the other asked to become the Queen Mother of Byzantium. Lina's face.

There is a red exclamation mark between the two. If one is completed, the other cannot be completed, so the achievements that can be completed are not as many as imagined.

In addition to some individual Easter egg achievements (such as the previous [Invasion of the Vikings], and [Pope's Conversion] [Reverse Triangle Trade] and the like), there are some general achievement trees.

For example, there are progressive lines such as [Count Ambition] and [Duke Conquest] in the title line, and there are also business lines such as [Dominant Local Trade] and [Dominant National Trade]. The rewards they give are sometimes very good, and sometimes they are not as good as the previous achievement. There is a kind of feeling that it is not what you want, but what I feel.

However, the rewards of these missions are traceable, and [Invasion of the Vikings] makes Feng Sen a little confused, a treasure?What the hell is this?

To be honest, although Feng Sen himself can use the Clausewitz engine to create a lot of "miracles", in fact, this is still a world with no magic or low magic (?), a treasure How effective can it be?

And what about treasures?It's been four days since the war ended, where's the treasure?Why haven't the goods arrived yet!

Shaking his head, Feng Sen turned his attention to the most important prompt box. For the first time in more than ten years, he saw the option to increase spiritual power. You must know that the resolutions that can unlock spiritual power, such as introducing noble women and inviting famous generals/famous ministers, all require hundreds of spiritual powers.

Feng Sen spent all his accumulated power points to learn this language. He didn't expect that [Princess of Denmark] would give away power points, which would be +2!

Does that mean that capturing a princess as a slave is equal to +1 psychic power? That's not true. I captured Ador before, why doesn't she have +1 psychic power?And as a kingdom as big as Frank (Charlie has not yet been crowned), the gold content is not much higher than that of Denmark?

Wait, Feng Sen thought of a terrifying possibility, a possibility that Geersu Yinda was daring - Charlemagne, won't it be green?

No, no, this guess is too outrageous, it should be because of the mythical bloodline.

Sigurd, in fact, is the prototype of Siegfried, that is, Siegfried in the Nibelungen, the hero who killed the evil dragon Favna, and the Norse hero who rescued the Valkyrie Brunhilde.

Thinking of this, Feng Sen couldn't help but look at Arvo who was babbling and learning Saxon behind him. This Tie Hanhan is actually a descendant of Sigurd? Tsk, where should I find so many descendants of the mythical bloodline?

"careful!"

"Big bug?"

"Damn, it's a big bear, do you have a fishing net?"

While thinking, Feng Sen heard a noise in front of him. He frowned, swung his whip, and ran towards the front army.

After passing through scattered slaves and convoys, Feng Sen came to the front, surrounded by twenty or so soldiers of the Tang Army, who surrounded a huge white bear. , then retreated abruptly.

This white bear was at least two meters long, but it was not a polar bear, but an extremely rare brown bear with albinism. It stood in the middle of the road in a strange posture. Under a tree next to it, a soldier of the Tang Army had his chest and abdomen ruptured and fell to the ground.

The white bear's eyes were red, as if it had been irritated by something. Even though it was stabbed many times by soldiers of the Tang army, and even entangled by fishing nets with barbs, it was unwilling to get down and fight, but stood firmly.

Feng Sen narrowed his eyes.

He got off his horse, walked up to the dying soldier, and gently held his hand. The soldier also held his hand tightly, looking at Feng Sen but speechless.

"Don't worry, I know your name, I will find an orphan to inherit the incense for you."

The soldier's hand loosened, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Instead of dying in the hands of the enemy, he died in the hands of the beast. Feng Sen stretched out his hand and closed the soldier's eyes.

Turning around, Feng Sen took off the stone longbow at his waist, pinched the bowstring with three fingers, and amidst the creaking sound, the bow became a full moon, and the skylight shone on the heavy arrow on the armor-piercing shovel head.

"Den!"

Feathered arrows galloped through the air with full force. It passed through the fallen leaves, through the sleeve of a Tang soldier, and through the wires of the fishing net.

The knife-like sharp edge sliced ​​through Ice Bear's eyes layer by layer, and the thick gray-white slurry exploded from Ice Bear's eye sockets, and the arrows swirled, stirring in Ice Bear's eyes and mind.

"Roar--"

The white bear howled in pain, but before it could finish, two consecutive feathered arrows flew like meteors again, one pierced its other eye, and the other pierced its nose .

With an ear-splitting scream, the white bear frantically waved its paws, forcing the surrounding soldiers of the Tang Army to retreat step by step.

"Get out of the way!" Holding an armed sword, Feng Sen ran in big strides, dust splashed, he stepped on a big rock, glared angrily, and jumped up suddenly.

Feng Sen landed on the back of the big bear. Because one eye was blind and the other was injured, the white bear didn't notice Feng Sen's approach at all.

"die!"

The long sword was inserted deeply along the back of the giant bear's neck, and around the inserted armed sword, countless black blood gushed out like flowers blooming. Feng Sen stepped on the back of the big bear again, pulled out the armed sword and rolled on the spot, avoiding the sweep of the bear's paw.

Stabbed by a spear, entangled by a fishing net, and blinded by an arrow. In the case of massive blood loss and exhaustion, Feng Sen's sword was the last straw for Bai Xiong. It shook for two seconds and fell heavily on the ground. off the ground.

Just when Feng Sen was about to leave, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Then, what is that?" a Saxon auxiliary soldier couldn't help but shouted.

A section of the sword tip broke through the white bear's belly and appeared in front of everyone. Feng Sen walked over slowly and cut open the white bear's belly with a horizontal knife.

In its stomach, there were undigested flesh and rags, but the most important thing was a one-handed sword.

It has platinum-gold guards, a hard hilt covered with a layer of black leather, the sword is about one meter long, three gemstones are inlaid on the body of the sword, and a crystal is inlaid on the back end of the hilt.

It seems that this sword is the reward for [Invasion of the Vikings].

Feng Sen felt that it was not worth it. If he could, if the soldier had to die in exchange for it, he would rather break the sword.

【Clarent】

[Modred's holy sword, the holy sword in disguise, the superior lord's favorability +20, monthly spiritual power +5]

"Good!"

Holding Clarent high, Feng Sen jumped up cheering.

Chapter 35 Triumph!

At the end of November in 782 in the Western calendar, Hamburg was much more lively than before.

Not only the local Franks, but also the Saxons stood by the fence and waited anxiously. Their moods were actually extremely complicated.

Before Feng Sen left, he specifically asked the remaining Franks and Saxons if they were interested in going to seek justice with him, but their answers were basically refusal.

That's the worst of all heretics—the Danes!

But what they didn't expect was that five days after the lord went to take revenge on the Dan people, the first batch of booty was transported back to the hometown of Hamburg by the Oupolites.

Herds of cattle, sheep and horses, carts of dried wheat and fish, armor helmets, fur cloth, pearls and emeralds, even gold and silver treasures loaded in carts, and hundreds of Danish or Saxon slaves.

Such a grand scene would appear every three or four days, and Wang Sima, who stayed behind, had to urgently build animal pens and warehouses to store these trophies.

As for the extra slaves, let's squeeze with the original slaves.

Chiefs Iopa and Aisa led the Saxon chiefs on the left side of the fence, while Olean and Old Hans led the Frankish village chiefs and free folks on the right side of the fence.

They were looking forward to it, waiting for His Excellency the Earl to appear.

"Here we come!" A Saxon hunter riding on a tall pine tree suddenly pointed forward and shouted.

"Da da da" came the rapid sound of horseshoes, and four Xuanjia cavalrymen of the Tang army galloped forward holding the banners embroidered with fire patterns of Tang and Jingnan Jiedufeng. They waved their sticks, drove away passers-by who blocked the army's walking and began to maintain order.

Not long after, amidst shouts, a group of Saxon auxiliary soldiers walked in the front. Although they were poor, they were arrogant.

"Look, Iopa, look!" Isa shouted suddenly, pointing at one of the Saxon auxiliaries.

Iopa looked intently, and was a little sluggish for a moment.

That was his youngest son, Dick, the laziest, poorest and most cowardly member of the family. Before Feng Sen asked him for someone, he kicked out the moths of the family without saying a word, but now that person is really Dick ?

Dick was sitting on a pure black Icelandic horse, waving to his fellow countrymen flamboyantly. At this moment, he was wearing a chain mail with half of the sleeves missing, a wolfskin waistcoat inside, and a hoodie on his head. A Viking goggle helmet with riveted domes on all four sides, and a long ax on its back.

On each side of the horse hung a shield, and on the left behind the horse's buttocks was a small pot filled with ale, and on the right was a sack filled with furs, candlesticks, daggers, pots and pans, and silver coins.

This batch of trophies was so heavy that the Icelandic horse, known for its endurance, couldn't bear it, and snorted in protest.

Shouts and greetings erupted among the onlookers and Saxon auxiliaries.

Behind the Saxon auxiliary soldiers were more than 400 Danish and Saxon slaves. They pushed carts of spoils, and the wheat leaking from the sacks fell to the ground, and no one even picked them up.

"Moo-"

"BAA Baa baa."

A large number of livestock appeared in front of the subjects of Hamburg. After several days of long journey, most of them were starved and thin, and could only cry pitifully.

Horses, cattle and sheep were driven forward by slaves and Saxon auxiliary soldiers. The slaves lowered their heads and occasionally looked at the people of Hamburg on both sides, their eyes full of hatred and sadness.

Next came the Jingnan Army led by Feng Sen. Arvo was on the left and Fenner was on the right. No different, still silent, still strong.

The only difference is that instead of furs and pots and pans, the bags behind their backs contain gold and silver rings, emerald necklaces and blue-green gemstones.

Walking in the forefront, Feng Sen looked at the subjects on both sides, and suddenly laughed. He grabbed a handful of silver coins from his pocket, and threw them at the subjects on both sides amidst the exclamation of everyone: "Cheer! Our jihad has been won!"

At the same time, behind him, seven or eight soldiers of the Tang army each grabbed a handful of silver coins and threw them at the subjects. The shining silver coins fell from the sky like rain. In the middle, Feng Sen laughed out loud.

Under the glory of victory and the brilliance of silver coins, some subjects even worshiped Feng Sen.

The coin-throwing tactic is really useful. This rain of silver coins looks scary, but at most there are only a hundred silver coins mixed with a lot of copper coins. Compared with the gains from this looting, it is really nothing to mention.

Iopa quickly stepped on a round golden ring. He looked around cautiously and found that no one had noticed, then quickly picked up the ring by tidying his clothes.

This ring should have been accidentally dropped from the bag of a soldier of the Tang Army, and it is golden and exquisitely carved.

"Hey, hey, Isa." Iopa kicked Isa, showing him the ring.

Aisa was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes widened: "Where did this come from?"

"I picked it up, don't talk nonsense outside." Iopala lowered her voice, "Don't you know a businessman from Beihai? Help me sell it, and you have a share."

"Okay, okay." Aisa was overjoyed, "Let me see."

"Two!"

The two people who had gathered together to whisper were excited at the same time. They turned around stiffly, only to see that it was a Saxon serf overseer, who was also a Saxon.

"what happened?"

"Are you representatives from the Department of Stormarn?"
