Please recommend it, click rewards, comments, and updates, etc.... In short, it’s all OK!
Margaret I drove away Egil's messenger in extreme and unceremoniously. This is because the communication industry in this era was not developed. Margaret I had never heard of the name Egil at all. Her judgment on the situation in Norway was still at the level of "Olaf III and Earl Felix's battle for hegemony."
Then, since these two tough stubborns have died, the whole Norway should be like a ripe fig, waiting for her to taste it. And the successive victory in Oslo also seemed to prove this. Looking at the crumbling walls of Oslo, Margaret I could already imagine that after he captured Oslo, the entire southern Norway would fall.
Immediately afterwards, the local troops were integrated and then attacking Norway. By then, all the troops organized by his Denmark should have landed. The total number of troops should exceed 50,000. Under the absolute number of differences, the other side might have fallen. At that time, integrating the power of Norway and Denmark, it should be easy to suppress Sweden... Then, the entire Nordic can be integrated.
In Margaret I's plan, there was no sign of Egil at all. In other words, Egil, who felt good about himself, was completely ignored.
This is very sad bastard.
After driving away Egil's messenger, Margaret I did not take this matter seriously at all. In her eyes, Egil was just a self-respecting fool nobility, with no tiger or monkey in the mountains as kings or something. He even wanted to try to get involved in Norway's authority. Such a guy should teach him a lesson and hang him to death.
In this way, when the 24,000 army organized by Egil went south and reached an alliance with the nobles outside Oslo. A total of 30,000 troops of the two sides set up camp twenty miles away from the Danish army, Margaret I had not yet reacted.
"Egil Scadragrimsun? Who is that? I haven't heard of it at all."
Lover didn't remember Egil at all.
Finally, after reminding a few guys with a good memory - or a low IQ (who dared to have a better memory than his own lord, and he was tired of living?), Margaret I remembered that nearly a week ago, a guy who claimed to be the messenger of Count Biard had indeed come to her and asked her to withdraw his troops. But she completely ignored it.
Her Majesty the Queen then remembered what she said a week ago: If he wanted, let him lead his troops to rob him! In this way, he wanted to slap himself in the face. Did the messenger who I sent to leave last time and said, "Don't say it's not to be aware of it, bastard?"
So, the queen told Egil to come, and Egil came. As agreed, she brought an army of nearly 30,000 people.
Originally, the Queen did have such a plan: to siege Oslo and attract enemies, and then defeat them with superior forces, and to surround the site and attack the aid of the support.
But Egil's "support" was a little bit bigger. If he didn't do his best, he would probably die miserably.
So, Margaret I made a quick decision and left a thousand and eight hundred troops to watch over the castle of Oslo, and continued to bombard the enemy with no sign of reality and reality. But don't really knock it down. Otherwise, the enemy would see that the city wall collapsed and no one would attack, so the momentum would be bluffed...
Later, Margaret I organized the main Danish army - of course, she was a female, and she was fine with conspiracy, diplomatic trade-offs and weighing. But if she really went to the battlefield, she had to rely on the noble generals who really fought the country. She was just a symbol, plus a mascot-like existence. That's all.
The total number of Danish troops was nearly 30,000. Margaret I calculated it, but she was a little worried - although the opposite army was divided into two and was not subordinate to each other. The Danish troops were united... But the opposite Egil could rise rapidly in such a short time, and a man could not escape. The two armies were equal in number, but she was a little worried.
"Wait a minute. Wait a minute, and wait until all the Danish troops are transported here, and then there will be a few more battle-making troops. Then the decisive battle will be held." So Margaret I made up his mind and would not go to war for the time being.
Similarly, Egil did not intend to send troops to fight quickly - he was waiting, and Felix II died first, he just annexed southern Norway with justification. Second, he was waiting for the navy led by General Carter to make contributions - there was no need to wipe out the enemy navy, or even severely damaged it. As long as he could attack the enemy fleet that transported troops and supplies several times, the news reached the Danish army, causing the morale of the Danish army to decline. That would be done.
Both armies were waiting - but they were waiting for things floating on the sea, that is, fleets.
The Norwegian Navy, which was floating on the sea, finally moved to the entrance of the Ore Waterway after five days of voyage. This waterway connects to the Baltic Sea in the North Sea, and to the south is the northernmost end of the Jutland Peninsula in Denmark. The north is the southernmost end of the Scandinavia Peninsula in Norway. The location is almost at a critical moment. Because of the closest distance, Denmark's supply fleet and escort fleet generally choose a straight line across the Ore Waterway.
So, basically, as long as we cut off this place, we can basically cut off Denmark's support. Unfortunately, Egil still wants to defeat the Danish army and sign a contract with him. He doesn't want to beat him too hard. Otherwise...
It is useless to say this now. Hundreds of warships in the Norwegian fleet lined up into a prism. God also gave face to the northwest wind. In just a short while, Carter discovered his prey with the legendary monocular (one of five hundred points).
There were more than twenty sailboats in a row, and the hull was dripping deep. It seemed that it was loading a lot of cargo. At this moment, the northwest wind was blowing heavily, and the other party had already put away the sails and rowed the oars with their crew and slaves alone. Therefore, the speed of progress was very slow.
"Don't let it sink, leave two ships. Block them to the north." Remembering the instructions of his boss in his heart, Carter ordered this, preparing to deliberately put a few ships over, and promote the national prestige and scare people.
So, a naval battle with completely unequal power began. The long and narrow body and extremely fast dragon-headed warship quickly rushed to the rear of the enemy and fled back to Denmark. At the same time, light crossbows lined up with rows of light crossbows. The scorpion crossbow equipped with the bow was quickly wounded - this mechanical bracket was as high as two meters, and the crossbow machine placed on it was connected by a bearing. If you wanted to load it, you would pull it down. When you wanted to fire, you would push it up and shoot from a high point.
The front section of the crossbow it fired was wrapped with a ragged cloth head coated with tinder oil to ensure that it could further burn the enemy warship while destroying the hull.
Like the crossbow, this lighter scorpion crossbow is also equipped with a crosshair for aiming and a ruler for measuring distance. The hull of the crossbow warship is also much higher than that of the sailboat. If you hit the right place directly, you can shoot the enemy's sailboat out of a hole.
"Damn... why is the enemy's ship so high?!" The enemy's warship rushed into its fleet with a high momentum, and then he was condescending, and then a crossbow arrow as thick as a "beep" was shot down directly. The galleys were all flat boats, and there was no such thing as a cabin. The high technology of watertight compartment had never even heard of it. After shooting through it, the salty sea water was poured into it... Even if the ship was not sunk, the black bread contained there was stained with water and was subjected to the tide. In a few days, it would grow hair and not be eaten...
Moreover, the opponent's warship was too high, which completely failed their attempt to fight on the sidelines. In a blink of an eye, nearly half of the warships in the Danish Transport Fleet were smashed into holes by scorpion crossbows. Their speed and morale were all decreasing little by little.
"Damn it." No matter how many, tactics or morale are, it is unlikely to jump into the gang to seize the ship. The opponent's commander thought for a while, then gave up resistance and led the fleet to rush towards the south Denmark. At the same time, the sails were set, and the slave sailors rowed at full speed to prepare for retreat.
"Tsk, the direction is not right." Seeing that the enemy was as vulnerable as a lamb to be slaughtered, Carter curled his lips and said this.
At the same time, the Viking Dragon-Headed warship, which had blocked the southern enemy's escape route before the war started, began to exchange fire with the enemy, and the shouts of killing were suddenly heard on the sea. The two sides exchanged fire with crossbows and rockets. After getting closer, they rushed to attack the enemy ship and swung their axes according to the heads of the enemy...
During this period, some of the enemy's sailboats finally couldn't bear it anymore. There was too much water leaking in, and then some of them had a "click" sound, and the arrows in the middle of the hull broke into two pieces from the middle, and sank down. The arrows from the front or behind sank down from the front or behind. The hull was raised and sank down - then they couldn't bear it and broke into two pieces from the air. The vortex generated after the sank down also swallowed a lot of lives.
Even if this is not the case, those Viking warriors wearing heavy chain armor are not very likely to survive. And those slaves who are not wearing anything are not likely to survive - no, it should be said that they are not at all. They have heavy iron pieces tied to their ankles. There is no possibility of flapping, and they are directly pulled into the sea.
