Chapter 164 4.24 Feast of Killing (4)

Like a group of locusts, Bakambusi's Slavic army has grown from the initial 100 people to nearly 20,000 people!

Although most of these 20,000 people are composed of Slavic slaves, the Slavs who were also born in the bitter cold can fight with weapons. Along the way, they plundered food, horses, and killed all the Vikings and Byzantine slave owners along the way. When approaching the Dragon's Breath Cave, Bakambusi already had 5,000 cavalry, 8,000 well-equipped heavy soldiers, and nearly 7,000 reserve militias.

Everyone was eager to fight.

As long as they could kill the slave owners, no Slavic slave would complain about the hard march.

After just 4 days, Bakambusi's army had surrounded the main city of the Dragon's Breath Cave on the Dragon's Breath Plateau. At this time, he and Oleg were standing on a low hill in the grassland and overlooking the city that was ready for battle. Under the two men's feet, thousands of troops were ready to attack the city at any time.

They could already hear the cries of women and children in the city. For these vicious slaves, breaking the city was just a matter of days. Oleg and Bakambusi on the hill also understood this clearly. Facing the map, they did not discuss how to break the city.

But the next step to break the city.

"The Conqueror's Fortress is on the other side of the Tianduan Mountains." Oleg unfolded the topographic map of the Scandinavian Peninsula that he had drawn for several years, pointed to the towering mountain in the middle, and explained the current war situation to the Slav king beside him.

"When the autumn raids occurred, the only city in the seven provinces with troops stationed was the Conqueror's Fortress. The wealthy O'Sullivan family had 10,000 private troops stationed in the Conqueror's Fortress, and he would send up to 3,000 people out to sea to plunder every year. This was not because he was afraid of losses, but because Ivar O'Sullivan was an extremely outstanding businessman!

The fundamental purpose of sending these 3,000 people was not to plunder, but to show the monarchs and lords of the Western Continent the power of the 'Sabertooth Mercenaries'! Compared with the spoils that these people can get from plundering at sea, renting them out as mercenaries can allow him to get more gold and silver!"

"If all these 7,000 people join forces with the armies of other Viking lords, our army of 20,000 slaves will really not be enough." Bakambush said in a deep voice while stroking the head of the giant bear beside him.

"You don't have to worry about that! The Viking lords are a loose group. They hate each other and wage wars against each other as often as the Slavs. Almost every winter, an ancient family will perish and a new family will rise."

"The lords' troops are not worth fearing. The only thing we need to be wary of is when O'Sullivan will send his troops to join the war!" Oleg stretched out his dry finger and pointed to the towering snow-capped mountains visible to the naked eye on the horizon. "Although crossing the Tianduan Mountains is the shortest distance, it is an impassable Jedi! There is only one most convenient route to transport troops from the West Peninsula to the East Peninsula!"

That is to bypass the Tianduan Mountains from the sea and take a long ship to the river valley!

"According to the combat agreement we reached with that British charlatan, the ground clearing work is left to us, and they are responsible for the work of fighting against the Viking reinforcements on the sea. I think this is quite reliable. You and I have seen the dragon riders of the Kingdom of Wessex. That kind of creature is indeed very powerful."

"On the other hand, O'Sullivan, the Viking longship has a shallow draft and a fast speed, but in essence, it is a canoe designed purely for transporting troops. This kind of ship will break into pieces when it hits the sea, and has no naval combat capability at all. If the group of yellow-haired people were driving a ramming wooden ship inherited from the Athenian design, combined with the dragon spewing flames in the sky, the Vikings would have no chance of winning at sea."

"After the British destroyed the reinforcements on the sea, the most likely place to land is here."

As he said, Oleg pointed to the northernmost end of the map, a very inconspicuous black dot. If it is not specially noticed, this black dot can even be easily overlooked and thought to be some kind of ink.

"After boarding the ship from the Conqueror's Fortress and sailing around the peninsula and bypassing the Tianduan Mountains, the first port we encountered was the Hanshui Village we had entered before!"

Bakambusi looked up at the sky. The fiery red sun had risen from the Tianduan Mountains. Looking at the skylight, he snapped his fingers at Montuo who was waiting for battle beside him. Montuo and Makarov, two iron-toothed guards, took out a bull horn and blew the battle slogan.

The familiar sound of thunder sounded again, and the army under the feet of the two people rushed towards the Longxi Cave like a tide made of steel.

"This war is so fucking boring!" The Slavic king said rather bleakly.

"My king, although war is the art of violence, violence cannot solve all problems. In many cases, conspiracy is equally important. It can help us reduce losses while maximizing the bargaining chips on the negotiating table!"

I think that this Loki lord and his father-in-law "Duke Bernard" are objects that can be won over.

Our tactics went surprisingly well during this expedition to Scandinavia. In my opinion, we must prepare in advance to fight the English. Their dragons are too scary. Once the dragons take off, we will lose a lot of troops in the process of fighting them. "

Bakan Bush instantly understood what Oleg meant. This master was able to bear the humiliation and lurk in Viking society as a slave laborer for so many years. He was a man of far-reaching wisdom.

As the war progressed, he also discovered that the remaining Vikings seemed unusually vulnerable. At this time, Oleg had already taken one step and looked at the other, and now he had begun to calculate his allies.

"After destroying the reinforcements on the Viking sea, the British will inevitably land in Hanshui Village. I think we can use the help of Bernard, the Duke of the River Valley, to destroy those English." Oleg's eyes The light of ambition shines in it.

"That's true, but when the war ends, our family will be the only one, and we can support the puppet government as much as we want. We don't have to worry about those yellow beetles who smell blood coming and taking a share of the pie."

"Master Oleg, I don't understand these things, you can do whatever you want!"

"We might as well send a messenger to Storm's End to convey the intention of alliance to Duke Bernard. As long as Duke Bernard and Loki can snipe the English navy at the seaside, we can send out the news. Wait until we completely occupy Scandinavia In the Dinavia Peninsula, he can continue to serve as the Duke of the River Valley!

"Not in the Valley Land, Dragon's Breath Plateau or even Shuanghanling. All the land east of the Tianduan Mountains can even become his! I once said that the ultimate purpose of this battle is to create something on the land of the Vikings. Create a Slavic 'buffer barrier', split the 7 major Viking provinces, and plunge themselves into civil war and self-consumption.

In this way, the land of the Slavs will be safe forever! "
