Scotland has a rugged terrain and is mostly highland and mountainous. Therefore, in later generations, Britain had a very famous military group - the Scottish Highland Infantry.

Because of its mountainous terrain, most of Scotland's nationals are, strictly speaking, hill people, and are relatively tough. Otherwise, with the size of Scotland's population of 500,000, it would not be able to withstand the attack of the English. The fierce mountain people and the natural terrain advantages were the biggest reliance of Scotland against the invasion of England.

But, in any case, the source of food is mainly the plains. The plains of Scotland, on the other hand, are mainly found in the southern coastal areas. For example, the Southern Plains near Edinburgh.

The Southern Plains is the most agriculturally developed region in Scotland and is also a densely populated region. As king, James IV could easily recruit enough men on the plains to protect his own safety. Therefore, when you reach the southern plains, you are equivalent to your own territory in the true sense. Unlike the mountain roads that come from this road, except for a few small villages and towns along the way, there is not a single ghost on most of the road. If someone is ambushed, it is estimated that no one will come to the rescue if you cut your throat.

And now in the Gobridge Valley, just through here, you go to the plains. What's more, Edinburgh is just around the corner. Because, it's only more than 20 kilometers from Edinburgh......

Just when James IV and his knights were looking forward to the reception banquet after their return, in the Gobridge Valley, Karn and his party were also making final preparations.

Karn on the side of the Koster Road:

"Koster, are your men ready? Pedestrians who were impounded before? ”

"Kill them all!" Koster said with a blank face.

They only started blocking the road this morning, and at the same time as blocking the road, they also started digging the pits. But the Gobridge Valley was the main route from the south to Edinburgh, and it was not just James IV's troops who passed through it, but also Scottish civilians.

But today, Kahn and the others want to attack and kill King James IV of Scotland here, so naturally they can't let any passers-by leave. So, from the beginning of the blockade of the road in the morning, all the passers-by were caught by the horse thieves under the command of Koster and Marić and gathered together.

Originally, Karn had planned to let these people go when the matter was over. But Koster thought that the attack on the king was too important, and it was better not to keep these witnesses. Therefore, after lunch, dozens of innocent passers-by were taken into the mountains by Koster and disposed of......

Karn was silent for a moment, not saying anything. Because, he also knows that Koster's approach is the safest. After all, if the innocent passers-by who were caught leaked their important characteristics, they would be in big trouble.

Moreover, after this was over, the 50 members of the Wolf Tooth Commando brought by Karn, and the hundreds of men brought by Koster, except for a few very reliable, had to move to the American colonies with their families to avoid accidentally revealing today's secrets.

As he was talking, one of Coster's subordinates who couldn't help but watch with a telescope suddenly said:

"Commander, the message tree has fallen!"

The news tree is naturally a means for the children's group in the Malinxue Anti-Japanese War to transmit news, and the children's group does not have a radio station, and they do not dare to shout the news, so as not to alarm the devils. Therefore, it is the safest way to knock down a small tree on a distant hill. And if you are not familiar with this routine, you will not notice what is happening on the mountain. Even if you see a small tree falling, you don't understand what it means.

Kahn and Koster's ambush party was concentrated mainly at the northern end of the Gobridge Valley, while James IV's party came from the southern end. The people at the south end didn't have time to inform the north end, and tearing down the message tree on the hill was the best way to deliver the message.

Sure enough, James IV and his party were unaware of the fall of a small tree on a nearby hill. Of course, this hill is also some distance from James IV's team, about a mile away. The spy who knocked down the message tree on the hill also had a telescope in his hand. On the other hand, there is a person who looks at the mountains to the south a kilometer away with a telescope. Once the message tree falls, it means that the enemy is coming. And if it's just civilians who come, the message tree shakes a few times.

In fact, Karn and Coster were most afraid of being ahead of James IV's team, and that there would be a civilian team that would enter the valley first. When the time came, the civilians triggered the trap, which could easily arouse the vigilance of James IV and his party.

In fact, there is indeed such a group of civilians. They were supposed to walk in front of James IV's party, but they were on foot. And after seeing the "strong" team of James IV and 50 knights behind, they were all so frightened that they stood on the edge of the valley, did not dare to move, and courteously let James IV's team go first. You must know that in ancient times, robbing the road of the nobles may have been severely beaten. Moreover, there is nowhere to reason......

In this way, James IV and his 50 knightly guards swaggered into the Gobridge Valley......

Subsequently, the dozen or so civilians also entered the valley on foot......

After a while, James IV's party had reached the northern end of the Gobridge Valley. Seeing that they were about to pass through this section of the road and enter the southern plains of Scotland, the leading few were actually inexplicably excited, and their feet clamped the horse's belly and began to accelerate slightly.

However, they didn't notice - the flatlands at the northern end of the Gobridge Valley seemed to be different......

Of course, it is different, and now the ground at the northern end of the Gobridge Valley is densely covered with horse traps. Moreover, the bottom of the trap is full of wooden stakes facing upwards......

Several Scottish knights who rushed in front did not notice for a while, and they all led their horses and fell into the horse trap. Then, in the pit of the horses, the screams of the horses and the knights were heard......

"There are assassins! There are assassins! Protect Your Majesty! The knight behind panicked. They reined in their horses, then turned their heads and surrounded James IV's carriage in the middle of it in case of a possible enemy bow.

The crossbows they had been expecting soon appeared, but they were not shot at James IV's carriage, but at the horses of the knights' crotches. And, of course, the horses that pulled the cart for James IV......

Although he is wearing horse armor, the covering surface of the horse armor is not complete, as long as he grasps the angle, he can still hurt the war horse. Then, a dozen knights lost their horses under the rain of arrows......

At this time, Jensen, the veteran knight who was in charge of commanding the 50 knights, saw that the situation was not good, and decisively shouted:

"U-turn, let's turn around and retreat!"

However, it was too late. Koster's men toppled the message tree, and the thieves at the southern end of the Gobridge Valley, who received the news, pushed hard against the pile of stones that had been stacked on the hillside. For a moment, a large number of stones rolled down the hillside, quickly blocking the exit to the south. Coincidentally, more than a dozen Scottish civilians who had walked into the valley before were smashed by the rolling stones......

At this time, Jensen saw that the retreat was blocked, so he only had to send a few knights to dismount, withstand the rain of arrows, and go forward to probe the trap. As a result, what broke them down was that the road at the northern end of the valley was littered with traps with wooden stakes. As long as you dare to rush north, you will definitely not be able to avoid those traps......

At this point, Karn jumped out just in time and said aloud in Scottish Gaelic with an Edinburgh accent:

"Phew! I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, leave the money to buy the road! If you don't give money, you don't care if you kill it! ”

Karn wore full plate armor, but he was dressed in black, and his helmet was covered with a hood. Therefore, at this time, James IV and his knights did not realize that Karn was a knight wearing a full suit of plate armor. In their opinion, what jumped out in front of them was a robber in bloated clothes, wearing a black hat and holding an iron bar......

"Robbery?" James IV and his knights looked at each other - the other party was so bold that he jumped out to stop dozens of knights by himself......

"No, there are archers on the hillside......" James IV reacted.

However, even if there were archers on the hillside, plus the strong man in front of him, it would not be enough to rob a team of forty or fifty plate knights. Although, several members of this team were planted in the trap.

But in the next second, they understood—out of the hollow where Karn had jumped, 50 more men in black armed with weapons such as hammers and tomahawks (also covered with black cloths......

"Looks like we're about the same number of people......" Knight Jensen said, confused.

However, the other side is all infantry. And they were all cavalry...... This doesn't seem to be a level of confrontation......

Even if the knights can't charge in the valley, they can't resist the 50 infantry in front of them with their two-handed swords......

At this time, James IV opened the carriage window and asked nervously:

"How? Is it English? ”

Jensen shook his head and said:

"It seems not, Your Majesty. The man spoke Scottish with an authentic Edinburgh accent, and the other party's weapons seemed to be very mixed. Anyway, it shouldn't be a knight'......"

The weapons of European knights, divided into horse combat and foot combat. Horse combat is dominated by mounted spears and one-handed knightly swords, while infantry combat is dominated by two-handed swords and two-handed axes. Basically, knights rarely use unpopular two-handed hammers. Only infantry who specialize in dealing with knights, or motley troops, will use the two-handed hammer, a weapon used by civilian workers.

"That's not right!" After thinking about it, Knight Jensen's face suddenly changed. He said to James IV:

"Your Majesty, their weapons are too aimed at our plate armor!" Both the tomahawk and the two-handed hammer are professional plate knights. If the other side is all this kind of weapon...... It's also a little too targeted......

Still, Jensen didn't think they would be able to beat the group in front of them. So, confidently drawing the brand-new two-handed broadsword he was carrying on his back, he commanded:

"Thirty men, dismount, and slash them with two-handed swords! The rest, continue to protect Your Majesty! ”

Since you can't rush up in the valley, you can't get off your horse and fight with each other. You must know that the knights are all from a knightly family, and they are not only familiar with horse combat and foot combat, but also very proficient. Every knight is a master of martial arts......

However, as soon as the two sides came into contact, Jensen's heart was cold......

That's right, their group of knights did learn martial arts since childhood, and their fighting ability was strong. The warrior on the opposite side didn't seem to have any rules. However, the opponent's weapons are very restrained against them! Moreover, the other party also wore plate armor......

It wasn't until the Scottish knights' two-handed swords slashed at each other's bodies that they heard a crisp sound that told them that their opponents were all wearing plate armor......

What's even more tragic is that among them, several knights' two-handed swords broke after colliding with the opponent's weapons......

Then, the knights, who had lost their weapons, were swarmed by a group of enemies and smashed them with battle axes and hammers, and in a moment they were reimbursed......

In this way, after a round of collision, the 30 Scottish knights were quickly wiped out. And the opponent, only a few people were injured by the opponent's two-handed broadsword...... Mainly, he was cut in the arm and leg, resulting in a fracture. After all, it's not easy to smash down with a two-handed big sword......

Even the knight of Jansen, who led the charge, was beaten on the head with an iron rod by his brother Karn, and he couldn't see that he could survive......

At this time, Karn practiced the stick technique of smashing people's heads......

Those who wear armor have the highest level of body protection. However, the neck and limb joints are weak points. However, smashing those limb joints will break the opponent at most, but it will not be fatal. And directly smashed the neck and head...... It was an instant death......

Taking advantage of the victory, Karn led more than 40 Wolffang Commando warriors who could still fight, wielding iron rods, battle axes and war hammers, and rushed to the carriage of King James IV of Scotland......

"I surrender! I give up! I can give you a lot of money! James IV poked his head out and shouted.

He had already seen that the group of centaurs on the other side was fiercer than his knights. Seeing that he couldn't stop it, he decided to surrender decisively and survive first......

However, Karn and the others didn't listen in the slightest. Karn understood, after all, he had learned Scottish Gaelic for so long, but he would not betray Marin. The Wolf Tooth Commando Warriors under Karn's command were completely incomprehensible......

"I can make you noble, Earl?" James IV cried out in despair when his life was in jeopardy.

If you were really a Scottish, you might be tempted. But Karn was unwavering and kept rushing forward. As for his men, they don't understand it anyway......

Karn then led the men to defeat a dozen Scottish knights guarding James IV's carriage and dragged James IV out of his carriage......

"I can really make you count...... Don't kill me...... The Duke can too! ”

However, Karn slammed down with an iron rod, and James IV, who was wearing a plate armor helmet, had his neck broken, and he was too dead to die......

After confirming the death of James IV, Kahn shouted in Scottish Gaelic:

"Withdraw, go back and get your life back to the Earl!"

Then, with his men, he hurriedly withdrew from the path into the mountains, and even the half-dead Scottish knights on the ground forgot to mend their swords......
