Roman Empire of Total War

"Bjorn, my good brother, we haven't seen you for a long time!"

"It's been five years, Lars, we haven't raised a drink in five years!"

Bjorn, who was just appointed by Ragnar as the commander of the rebellious army as the king of Cartgart, embraced fiercely Lars, who brought more than one hundred village fighters to take refuge with him. Slapping each other's back.

"Five years ago, you were still a guy who peeked at Natasha's bath with me. This blink of an eye is now the lord of a commanding army. Time flies!" Lars' young face Full of emotion.

"You are only two years older than me, but you deliberately pretend to be a deeper version than me. Are you not afraid that I will beat you up as before?" Bjorn laughed and laughed at Lars: "You know, you are not the son of the chieftain now. If I beat you in front of your village warrior, I am afraid that your image as the new chieftain will be completely destroyed."

"Haha, being beaten is really not a glorious thing, but it also depends on who is being beaten." Lars Yangyang said complacently: "Beating by Bjorn, son of Ragnar, is not a scandal. After all, that is the son of the King of Cartgat!"

"Okay, you will say the most ridiculous! How about it, do it with me from now on."

"I came this time but brought all the soldiers from our village, and I didn't dare to go back without making some achievements."

"How many warriors do you have in total? Are there any mad warriors?"

"There are 117 ordinary fighters, and there are two mad fighters."

"That line, I will add 383 ordinary warriors and three mad warriors to you, and you will be my pioneer!"

"Bjorn, I will be your most loyal follower!"

"No, you will always be my best brother!"

Of course, Bjorn’s development is not limited to Lars, but he can really bring all the fighters in his family’s territory to him. In addition to Lars, he is also Tulson and Olsen; Tulson The people they brought were similar to Lars. Olsen brought more people, but they didn't reach 200 people. After all, they were only chiefs or sons of chiefs in ordinary villages.

The end result was that Lars, Tulson and Olson, who were also very familiar with each other, all of their soldiers were supplemented by Bjorn to a size of 500, and then they were directly under the force of Bjorn. The pioneer will.

After more than ten days of assembly time passed, the eight lords, including his mother Lagosa, who were selected by Bjorn, all led their troops to Cartgart; In particular, the number of fighters alone exceeded the 100,000 mark!

Seven lords including Turner, Avclek, Benedict, Malmberg, Ulenkroek, Gard, Dilson, etc. each brought five thousand warriors and fifty mad warriors, The special status of Lagesha brought five thousand warriors and two thousand female warriors.

In addition to the 42,000 fighters and 350 mad fighters brought by these eight lords, the four troops involved in the battle of the Lodebrock family are also not small; Wittsaker, Sigde, Iraq Under Val's three men, there are five thousand warriors and one hundred mad warriors, and under Luo Luo, there are 12,000 warriors and five hundred mad warriors, which are another 27,000 warriors and eight hundred mad warriors.

The 42,000 warriors and 350 warriors of the eight lords, plus the 27,000 warriors and 800 warriors of the Lord Brock family, the total number of warriors under the command of Bjorn has reached six There are as many as one hundred and fifteen thousand mad warriors!

The rebellious army commander's status brought Bjorn much more than the 70,000 soldiers under his command, but also a great enhancement of his own strength; although he came to Cartergart to take refuge with him. There are three people, but there are not many other tribal chiefs who led Cartergart to surrender to him. Even if there are not many warriors under these tribal chiefs, all of them add up to an amazing number.

Bjorn, who was originally only seven thousand direct soldiers and four hundred direct mad soldiers, now has 10,000 direct fighters and five hundred direct mad soldiers. This is the benefit of status; the commander of the peaceful rebel army, the eldest son of Ragnar The dual identity allowed Bjorn to have a strength that was almost inferior to that of his uncle Rollo in about half a month.

Of course, if you change to Rolo’s younger brother Luo Luo to serve as the commander of the counterinsurgent army, the effect may be better than that of Bjorn, because Rolo himself is a stronger warrior than Bjorn, and he is in the entire Cartgat 'S fame is second only to Ragnar.

If you switch to Uber, the son of Ragnar, as the commander of the rebel army, then it will not work. In the current kingdom of Cartgart, the son of Ragnar is indeed a gold sign; it can be used to worship most of the strong. For the Cartgat people, it is only on the battlefield that they prove that their son of Ragnar is worthy of their follow-up, and others who have not yet proved that his son of Ragnar itself has no appeal.

The rebellious army of 79,000 ordinary soldiers and 1,650 mad fighters embarked on the journey of the Western Expedition Haral and Eric; in this way, the Cartgart garrison Only 25,000 warriors directly under Ragnar remained.

"Bjorn, your marching way is wrong, the speed is too slow, we must speed up!" Methodical, or slightly slow marching speed, makes Rollo, accustomed to quick battles, very uncomfortable, He took the initiative to find Bjorn.

"Uncle, I don't want to march at such a slow rate, but our soldiers need time to adapt to their new equipment." Bjorn has always had a good relationship with Rollo, at least far more than his few brothers and Luo Luo's relationship came closer.

"Can't be so slow, Harald and Eric are not easy to deal with the enemy, we can not give them too much time to accumulate strength, otherwise it will cause us a lot of trouble." , Luo Luo couldn't help complaining: "We Cartergate warriors can kill enemies with only tomahawks and long swords. Why do we have to change these complicated weapons and equipment?"

"I don't quite understand it." Bjorn echoed with a bitter smile, and then began to explain to Ragnar: "These weapons and equipment are extremely forged high-quality goods, which is very helpful to enhance the combat effectiveness of our soldiers. "

"Bullshit! Our Cartergat fighters are different from the army of other countries. Every one of our fighters is a warrior who has been trained since his childhood. He has mastered various combat skills and can use the most agile skills. Kill the enemy as fast as possible; on the contrary, after replacing these seemingly sophisticated and heavy weapons, our soldiers have lost even the most basic agility."

"This is indeed a problem." Bjorn frowned slightly.

"Bjorn, I remember when you first changed, you also put on a brand new set of weapons and equipment. Why are you now replacing your original leather armor and battle axe?"

"Because that weaponry is too heavy, the speed at which I swing my sword has dropped a lot. This will cause many of my combat skills to be as smooth as before, so I have to switch back to the weaponry I used to use. "

"You see, this is the reality. Our soldiers are not suitable for using these weapons and equipment." Rollo emphasized again: "Bjorn, you can imagine that once our soldiers are not even proficient in their most proficient combat skills. Use, how much will their combat power decline? This will be a terrible thing."

"Uncle, then you say, what should we do, give up using these weapons and equipment?"

"It is not to give up the use of these weapons and equipment, but to temporarily not use them."

"Is there any difference between the two?"

"Sophisticated weapons and equipment can indeed improve the battlefield survival rate of the soldiers, but we must give them enough time to adapt to these weapons and equipment, let them combine the use of weaponry and combat skills." Rollo said himself 'S suggestion: "It's not the right time at this moment. When the father and son of Harald and Eric are wiped out, we have time to do this."

"Uncle, the change of weapons is an order from my father, I..." Bjorn hesitated.

"Bjorn, we are not not executing Ragnar's order, we are just adjusting the way we execute the order according to the actual situation we face."

"This..." Bjorn was still a little hesitant. After all, what he was going to do now was contrary to the orders Ragnar himself gave; no matter how many words Luo Luo said, and no matter what was actually done. , He could not make an immediate decision.

I looked at Rollo who grew up in Bjorn from an early age, and did not urge Bjorn to hesitate, but let him continue to struggle until he made a decision to replace the whole army with the original weapons and equipment; , He knew that Bjorn would definitely make this decision.

Once the command of the army to return to the original weaponry was issued, it was immediately supported by all the soldiers. For the Cartergat soldiers who were used to wearing only light leather armor, the weight of a steel armor was really to let them Uncomfortable.

It’s not that the Cartergat warriors who are famous for their fierce reputation throughout the mainland can’t even wear a pair of dozens of pounds of steel armor, but they are much heavier than light leather armor, which has seriously affected The combat power of Cartergat warriors.

Imagine a person who has been wearing a single coat for more than 20 years and suddenly puts on a tight sweater. It feels uncomfortable to think about it; other than that, the adaptation period at least for a period of time must be Very uncomfortable.

The uncomfortableness at ordinary times will take a while to pass, and everyone has adapted to the habit, and naturally there will be no adverse effects; but if this uncomfortable discomfort is placed on the battlefield, it is quite fatal. A short board.

The counterinsurgent army, which returned to its original weapons and equipment, began to advance at twice the speed of the previous march. At the same time, the military strength of the blonde king Haral and the blood axe king Eric is growing at a very fast rate. .

At the beginning of Ragnar’s ascension to the throne, the number of warriors under the leadership of the blond king Harald and the blood axe king Eric was about 30,000. Later, a group of followers of the old king took the warriors to take refuge with them. This caused the number of their fighters to surge to about 45,000.

In the future, although there are still a large number of small and large tribes collected by the blond king Harald and the blood axe king Eric, the overall size is not very large, and the full number of wars has not allowed the number of warriors under their two to break through. fifty thousand.

On the contrary, during the period when the Holy See transported various materials to the territory of the Cartgart Kingdom, it seems that the blonde king Haral and the blood axe king Eric have also been secretly supported by a mysterious force, not only has they seriously threatened whether they can The food problem that continued to survive was completely resolved, and even the tomahawks and shields used by his soldiers were replaced with steel tomahawks and rigid shields.

If only the steel battle axe and rigid shield were replaced, it wouldn’t make Bjorn and Rollo feel a headache, because their soldiers now use the steel battle axe and rigid shield sent by the Holy See. At most, the gap between the two sides at the weaponry level was bridged. What really made them feel headache was that more troops appeared under the leadership of the blond king Haral and the blood axe king Eric.

The very limited population of the Cartgat Kingdom is basically impossible for a lord to have a sudden increase in the number of warriors. Even if Ragnar, who has become the king of Cartgat, has not suddenly increased his number of warriors. The capacity of 20,000.

It is such a status quo that the blonde king Haral and the blood axe king Eric have sprung up as many as forty or fifty thousand troops out of thin air. This apparently unreasonable phenomenon immediately caused Bjorn and Rollo attaches great importance.

Under the premise that there are more than 80,000 soldiers in his own army, Bjorn and Lolo do not think that they can not destroy their subordinates to nearly 100,000 blonde king Haral and blood axe Eric; the problem The key lies in which force is behind the blond king Harald and the blood axe Eric, knowing that from the perspective of international relations, this is already a malicious interference in the internal affairs of the Cartgart kingdom.

For Bjorn and Rollo, the enemies on the bright side are not terrible no matter how powerful they are. They firmly believe that their enemies will be able to wipe out these enemies; what is really scary is the enemies hidden in the dark, because they don’t Knowing where the enemy is, even if they have the strength to wipe out the enemy, there is no way to find out the enemy, and they must also beware of sneak attacks from the enemy in secret.

As more and more unfavorable news came, Bjorn and Rollo took the initiative to slow down the speed of the counterinsurgency after repeated deliberations, and began to beware of all unexpected accidents, such as the enemy suddenly Launched an attack.

What happened next was also as expected by Bjorn and Rollo. A 3,000-scale enemy army launched an attack on the rebel army at night. The attacked troops were not the other eight. The army of the famous lord, but under the command of Sigd, son of Ragnar, who is in the middle of the army, the outbreak of this attack means that the battle between the rebel army and the rebels officially began.
