Chapter 185 Denmark

In Viking belief, the weapon was Odin's fire.

The huge arrow coming towards them reminded the pirates on the board of the ship to think of the weapon of Odin, the god of war—the Gungunir.

Even if the hull can turn around in a short period of time, it is difficult to completely avoid the opponent's attack. Even if the helmsman hits a few times suddenly, causing the hull to rotate nearly 90 degrees at once, the giant arrow that has been locked in place in advance is still impartial hit the bullseye.

Accompanied by the sound of wood chips cracking, the ship board was dismembered and collapsed into several parts in an instant. The surprise in the last second immediately turned into fear and anxiety. Beckon for help.

Taking advantage of the short gap, the remaining ballistas also prepared to move, pouring out Odin's fire towards the same sea area.

For the first time, the pirates felt the taste of purgatory on earth. For those unlucky pirates who happened to be hit by the giant arrow, the parts hit were directly torn into minced meat, and even the flesh was pierced through. The death was tragic.

The maiden debut of the Coastal Crossbow turned this sea area into a shooting range, and the unlucky pirates acted as targets, fleeing the sea of ​​death in haste.

"How's the result?"

Li Peijun didn't intend to promote the humanitarian spirit either. After the Danish navy fled, Li Peijun immediately sent a transport ship loaded with crossbowmen to the sea to kill the remaining pirates on the sea one by one.

"It seems that two ships ran away, and all the other dozen ships died on the seabed, and none of the pirates on board survived." Oko reported the battle report. After this battle, it is believed that this inconspicuous southern England seaport will definitely be in the Danish Navy. Left a deep impression.

When the living return to the base camp, they will definitely try their best to exaggerate the tragic scene. I believe it can play a lot of deterrent effect and make the opponent turn their attention to other places. Persimmon pinched.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some kings with strange brain circuits intend to gnaw down this tough bone.

The eight-bearded king of Sifan obviously belongs to the former. Since the Zhuge Ballista was equipped to the port of Hastings, the Danish navy has rarely been seen on the sea. Li Peijun has armed the entire coastal defense line of East Sussex With this new type of ballista, it is already as difficult as ever to attack the hinterland from the sea.

In the land battle, Li Pei's army is already very handy. In the eyes of the well-trained Hafleur army, the thirty or fifty pirate robbery regiments are like straw men in daily training. In addition, they have the assistance provided by the system. Whenever the enemy strikes, as long as the BUFF blessing of rapid march + roar of fighting spirit is activated, the enemy will immediately run away with his head in his arms.

In the gap of defense, Li Peijun also got an unexpected news from the chamber of commerce - King Athelred II of England ran to London to take refuge in disaster.

"What this guy caused himself will suffer along with me. If I were stronger, I might go to London and capture this sloppy king alive."

Li Peijun gestured at the map of Britain, and the distance from London to London was only a few hundred kilometers away. There was more than enough time to plan a surprise attack at night.

In fact, Li Peijun also thought about it, but even if he captured the King, it would be of no use. After being ravaged by Denmark, the King of England lost all support in England.Kidnapping the King of England would not increase one's own political bargaining chips, but would attract a group of nobles from all walks of life to attack, and in the end it was still a dowry for others.

He thought he couldn't help but let other nobles take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make the fragile political situation worse, so that he could reap the benefits. Anyway, the jurisdiction is at the southernmost end, and the war among nobles will not affect him.

Afia is undoubtedly the best candidate. He has strength and has a grudge against the King of England. If he can be instigated to send troops to attack London to disrupt the situation, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

But presumably the other party has also heard the news that the King of England fled to London. According to the previous situation that Denmark penetrated from the north to the south into its own territory, Kent, where Afia is located, should have also suffered a lot. In the stage of severely injured vitality, it is difficult to make substantive actions for a while.

The Danish land and sea offensives are gradually weakening, and the frequency of invasions has also decreased from three or four times a day to once a week. With the first snowflakes falling on the palms of winter, Li Peijun also ushered in his first time after crossing. winter.

The biting cold wind hurts the nerves. Li Peijun, a native of the south, has difficulty adapting to the harsh winter in England in the short term. The special fur coat is also thickened with extra fleece, which is modeled on the military cap of the Northeast. Li Peijun also The top was made of sheep cotton to keep out the cold.

After the battle situation gradually became clear, Li Peijun also stayed at home, curled up lazily by the fireplace, reviewing the instructions sent back from ahead.

"Is there any movement in Denmark?" Li Peijun rubbed his hands, and quickly retracted his hands into his sleeves after reading the official documents.

Aoke shook his head and said: "I can't see anyone at all, but Duke Afia ordered you to pay the war tax, saying that it is to reduce losses."

There was a hint of anger on Li Peijun's cheeks, but he still calmly agreed: "Give it to him, I just hope the frequency is not too high, this kind of lion's mouthful of taxation, anyone who donates will frown and scold." .”

"Yes, my lord." Auke didn't dare to ask any more questions, but just bowed with arms crossed.

"Is the King of England still in London?"

Oak thought for a while and replied: "The King of England is negotiating with Denmark to expand Denmark's rights in England. It is estimated that it has come to an end now, but I heard in London that the King's property in Norfolk It was ransacked, and the place is not safe for the time being, I think the King of England will stay in London for a while."

"Stay in London all the time, isn't that very close to Afia's Kent." Li Peijun didn't mean to drink.

"Yes, but I don't think there will be a war between the two sides. Now due to the invasion of Denmark, the contradiction between the two has even shown signs of easing up. This can be seen from the resistance coalition formed by the King of England. Among them Many of them are nobles under Afia." Ao Ke expressed his opinion.

Li Peijun doesn't think so, "Now it's only because they have a common enemy that they will form a united front with the enemy. After the Danish matter is resolved peacefully, the contradiction between the two will rise to the most important position of conflict. How much gunpowder will be lacking by then? , we will add as much gunpowder to him, we must ignite the powder keg between the two of them, and blow him upside down."

"After this winter, we will prepare for the next step."
