This was the first time Chris set foot on the Imbilia Peninsula. He picked up a handful of sand on the ground and smelled it closely to remember the smell of this land.
Many other Vikings did the same thing.
But Chris lived up to his nickname of madman. He actually took the sand in his mouth and chewed it.
Then rinse your mouth with water and spit out the grit.
"I have memorized the smell of this land. These sheep can't escape!" he said.
The landing site was also perfect, avoiding outposts and watchtowers. Hundreds of people successfully landed without any resistance, followed by Yin Var and other leaders' troops.
On this day, September 23, 865 AD, Yinvar led nearly 4,000 Vikings through the Strait of Asturias and landed in A Coruna in the early morning.
A town closest to the place where the Vikings landed, half an hour after the Vikings landed, sounded a fierce early warning bell for the past ten years!
"The Viking Devil is coming!"
"Run!"
"Don't be afraid, kill them."
"God protect me, and the evil will be dispersed."
The townspeople had various reactions, but Yin Val was out for revenge this time. He only had one sentence, "Let everyone know that the Vikings must repay their debts!"
Chris watched his men crazily enter the houses. He did not choose such an easy bone to chew, and took a few people to the town's police station.
There are usually soldiers resisting here, but the number is unknown.
But Chris doesn't want to kill the "woman" today because today is the anniversary of his mother's death.
Today, he is a "merciful" "madman".
He took the thirty or so people assigned to him by Yin Val, and within a short time he drove all the soldiers from the security station out of the station.
Then like a wolf chasing its prey, it hunts them down happily.
"Run, run!"
"hurry up."
While he was killing his enemies, he was letting them go.
During the process, a woman appeared, covered in blood. Her husband had just been killed, and her face was mixed with blood and tears.
That's a look of despair!
But Chris glanced at it and walked around. The woman was not dead. Then he saw the flames soaring into the sky and screams everywhere. The woman looked for a weapon angrily, thinking that there was a short bow left by her husband, a hunter, in the house.
She immediately went inside, found it, walked out the door and came as hard as she could.
The arrow flew to Chris, who was killing a local boy, but the arrow fell softly and stopped mid-air.
Chris excitedly beheaded the boy.
"What a shame, it would have been perfect if it were bigger."
Chris ran his fingers over the blade of the sword and licked the blood.
So delicious.
He also wanted to drink too much.
The woman came over and took the spear that was broken into half from somewhere.
Chris doesn't take the initiative to kill, but... he has no choice but to take action when faced with danger.
The woman holding a broken gun did not arouse his interest in killing.
Just a dull sword fell towards the woman's body. After confirming that she was completely dead, she turned around and picked up the half of the gun, then took a few steps and fired.
A broken gun was inserted into the neck of a Catholic soldier, and he died horribly!
Among the soldiers assigned to Chris by Yin Val, a young leader said, "Didn't you say it was the anniversary of your mother's death before you came ashore?"
Chris just sneered.
This little leader is not pitiful.
This land is far more prosperous than the land in England or the North Sea region.
These sheep naturally occupy such good land.
In the Viking area, how many women and children did heavier work than men? Women only had children and adults. Once menarche came, they were faced with getting married.
They eat unpalatable food and have to fight against homeless people, criminals, or other neighbors with evil intentions.
In order for these women to live a good life, the Vikings believed that the only way out was to rob them.
If poverty still cannot be changed, then not enough has been taken.
The little leader wearing horn armor walked over. The woman who expired on the ground was not very old, twenty, twenty-two?
If you can live, you still have a long time.
As a moderate among the Vikings, he occasionally wrote poems in runes, but he did not like to see women die.
Chris took a closer look at the leader. He was still childish. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, but he had a unique shape and wore armor that looked like a bull's head.
Vikings did not wear horned helmets, it was just a personal interest.
But rumors were widespread in this era. Enemies spread rumors that they turned the skulls into horn helmets, and the protruding horns could be removed. When not fighting, they used them as horn cups to hold wine, so the rumors became more and more intense.
"Little Dre, follow me." Chris said to the young leader and continued to play with the soldiers.
Women's cries spread, and Viking warriors began to commit terrible crimes, but Chris was only interested in men.
Finally, a knight took over with courage, but the number was too small. Not only could he not protect others, but his own fate fell into the hands of others.
"Tear off this knight for me..." Chris gave the order to take off the knight's clothes.
The knight's sword was knocked off, and then...
"You devil, you are more cruel than Yin Val!" The knight was stunned.
"Haha, more cruel than King Ragnar's son, which is a compliment to me." Chris didn't take it seriously.
Ragnar was known for his brutality, a trait that was inherited by all six of his sons.
Yin Val the Boneless does not mean that he has a physical disability, but that he has a "quirk". He likes to destroy all the "hard bone organs" of the captive's body, making the person squirm on the ground like an octopus, and finally die in pain. .
That's why they are called boneless ones.
Chris raised his sword again and shouted to his vanguard, "For Odin!"
"kill!"
…
…
"Viking Records of Asturias".
In this book, the war is reconstructed based on the oral account of a survivor of a teenage priest.
"That night, the sun went down very late, but there were almost no living bodies as far as the eye could see. We don't know why the Vikings were so cruel. Among the Vikings who attacked, there were many teenagers who were not as tall as a horse, but they The look in his eyes is terrifying and indescribable...
We can only hope in the kindness of the Lord, who will appear to drive away the Vikings and restore peace to the earth...
It is rumored that thousands of Vikings have landed on the island called England in the north. As servants of God, I hope they are safe and sound.
I hope the local lords can defend their homeland with swords and courage..."
At this time, the name of the English lord was rarely recorded, and Olan's name also appeared once. This was the first time he appeared in books in the south. The book said that he was an "old warrior" who resisted the Vikings. Ella's nephew'. "
…
Twenty days later,
The county of A Coruña is legally part of the Duchy of Galicia.
At this moment, in the main hall of the main city of A Coruña County, a thirteen-year-old young girl was listening to the report of her knights with a calm face. A seventeen-year-old boy was sitting in the main seat.
But the young man looked nervous and sometimes covered his chest with his hands, looking like he couldn't breathe.
This made the priests and nobles present feel contempt, thinking that it would be great if His Highness the Duke of Galicia was a girl.
"How many Vikings came?"
"It's not certain yet, but four towns have been attacked. According to the statistics sent back, and the number of ships found on the coast, it is estimated to be no less than three thousand, or even more!"
"How can we resist with so many people? Give them money as long as they can retreat." The young man said.
"Brother Wang, Ragnar led 5,000 people when he besieged Paris, and his footprints were all over the seven Frankish counties. Do you know how many things they took away?
Now that so many people are here, even if you give the entire city to the Vikings, it won't satisfy their stomachs. "
Although the girl is young, her courage prevails.
"Your Highnesses, we should fight hard. The former Duke of Galicia never escaped when facing the Vikings or other enemies." An old knight said.
"I must remind you that I know your loyalty to your former masters, but they were treasonous and in cahoots with the infidels in the south."
"Your Highness, that is a false accusation!"
"What a false accusation. The royal family gave them the opportunity to confess, but they chose to escape. The heir to the Duke named 'Sting' heard that he had fled to Wessex, England. His father once sent someone to summon him, but he refused. When they come back, it can be seen that they are indeed traitors.”
The girl did not want to dwell on this issue anymore. It was precisely because the Sting family were traitors that the kingdom was able to take back such a large piece of territory and make it the direct jurisdiction of her brother.
This old knight is very loyal. Even if he couldn't get over the incident at the beginning, the girl did not make it difficult for him. She turned to the military manager of the castle. When the latter wanted to speak, the girl said directly, "We have two hundred people. The city has enough food and water to hold on." Seven days, but clinging to it would be a foolish idea.
The terrain of A Coruña County is relatively high, and the main city is located on a flat area, so there is no danger to defend it. If we abandon it, the enemy will not know the terrain as well as we do. If we escape along the mountain road, at least half of the people can escape. "
When the housekeeper heard this, he also wanted to speak. The girl stretched out her white palm and said, "Let me tell you that abandoning so many subjects is a very derelict act as a lord. You also want to say that if a lord has no subjects, how can he be considered a lord?" Lord!
If my brother is not a lord, then you are nobles? Have you fulfilled your obligations?
How many people can be assembled with the coins used to make weapons?
What is the use of soldiers on the coastline? Thousands of people came ashore without even realizing it!
The Vikings are coming fast and hard, and within half a day, they will surround this place. Even if they can defend the city, the more than a thousand people outside will be vented by the Vikings who have traveled across the ocean to seek revenge. You hide. On the high tower, you will see Vikings cutting off their heads and making wine cups out of their heads for fun. Is this kindness?
Ring the bell immediately and everyone will disperse, including the citizens. As long as half of the people can escape, it will be considered a success. "
The girl suppressed everyone with her irrefutable momentum.
But she knew that it didn't matter what she said, she still needed the words of Brother Wang next to her.
So she turned to Brother Wang and said, "You give the order."
After hearing what Sixth Sister said, "Alfonso", who was the County Count of A Coruña, the Duke of Galicia, and the First Crown Prince of Asturias, said with difficulty, "Just follow what His Highness 'Aurora' wants. "
The girl Aurora then said to the old knight who was present and who had just spoken to her, "You have spent sixty years here, and the people in the territory respect and trust you. Please command them and let them move in an orderly manner." Leave town.”
"I obey your orders."
The old knight knew what to do at this time and did not dwell on the problem just now. Then he took the royal token and commanded the actions of the imperial guards in the city.
After a while, alarm bells rang, and there was chaos outside, but the old knights sent by Aurora effectively stabilized the order, allowing the residents to walk on mountain roads in batches to avoid the Vikings, and finally returned to the capital Oviedo area.
After giving the order to retreat, Alfonso said goodbye to Aurora. Alfonso wanted his sister to go with him, but the latter said, "It is a wise idea to spread the risk. From the two hundred people of the Knight Commander, I left I have twenty of the most elite men to protect you, Brother Wang. Please don’t be afraid. If you follow them, you will return to your territory safely.”
Aurora chose a more difficult mountain road, but she could see the Vikings from a high position without being discovered.
With this battle going like this, you can't just think about escaping, but you also have to think about a counterattack plan.
A Coruña County is close to the border of Oviedo County, and there is a royal garrison.
The path Aurora chose could lead directly to the garrison, which was one of her counterattack plans.
When the Kingdom of Asturias was in its most difficult period, it was driven out by the "Kingdom of Wuyemai" until only this mountainous area remained.
Later, the nobles relied on guerrilla tactics to gain a firm foothold and slowly fight back, achieving the revival of their territory today.
This place later became the mountain cemetery for royal families of all dynasties.
Today, the soldiers sent by the Kingdom to guard here are all elites of the Kingdom. In one-on-one battles, they are not inferior to the Vikings and can even have the upper hand.
But Alfonso obviously didn't listen, and even cried, "Am I going to die? I don't want to be like 'them'. Two had their eyes gouged out, and one is still a hostage in Wuye Mai. Maybe one day the pagans will be unhappy. , and gouged out his eyes too!"
The people Alfonso was talking about were three brothers with the same mother.
The second brother and the third brother were captured by Wu Yemai soldiers, and when they were ransomed by their father, they were ready to gouge out their eyes.
The fourth brother was caught by rebellious farmers because he was too aggressive in collecting taxes in the south a year ago. He was eventually sold to the infidels, and the territory fell into the hands of the enemy.
After the previous two experiences, this time King Odonique would never redeem him and let God bless his son's life and death.
The more Alfonso cried, the more frightened he became, and he even said, "Wuye Mai is going to beat us, the Vikings are going to bully us, and the two uncles want to drive me out of my position. It will be like one day when my father leaves." , I can’t fight them!”
Seeing that the prince brother lost his temper and was unable to stabilize, Aurora finally tried to persuade him to no avail and couldn't help but slap the prince in the face to bring him back to his senses.
Alfonso relied heavily on this sister and just touched his red and swollen face without making any next move.
The two don't look like brothers and sisters, but like mother and son.
Aurora looked at her brother Alfonso firmly.
"I will stay by your side. Whoever wants to take the throne, I will kill him and erase everything about him!"
"I'm not you, and I'm not your father. I don't have the ability to become a king." The young man was still afraid.
"Skills can be learned, but our surname is the most noble on the peninsula!"
