Chapter 644: The French Lie Down Again

"No—" Knight Nelson cried out in tears as he watched the flames rise in the haystack area.

Originally, he also expected that this group of cavalry of unknown origin was just bandits who came to steal food. In this way, this group of people has a maximum of 1,000 people, and even if they grab food, they can't take much away. Unexpectedly, these bastards came to burn grain and grass......

"Curse you, you bastards! I curse you all to hell! The Nelson knight shouted frantically.

He knew that he was finished—if he failed to protect the food and grass for twenty or thirty thousand people, he would definitely be put to death. Even if the food and grass were not saved, there were reasons for the lack of troops, and Henry VII himself had to bear a lot of responsibility. However, Henry VII is the king, and the king is not wrong, and he can only be the one who bears the blame. So, he was dead......

The Knight Nelson suddenly went crazy, and he swung his knight's sword vigorously, frantically slashing and slashing any people on the road leading to the grain and grass stacking area, and said loudly as he slashed back:

"Kill, kill! Kill all of you untouchables who stand in your way! ”

Knight Nelson was completely insane, and he understood that he would die if the grain and grass were burned. However, if they survived, not only would they be executed, but the family's knightly titles and land would be withdrawn, and they would be reduced to a commoner family.

Today, there is only one way for the Nelson Knights to go - to die in battle......

Only by fighting and dying can we avoid the humiliation of being executed. At the same time, for the sake of his own brave death, the king may spare his family. As long as he dies in battle, there will be no dirty water such as "fearing to move forward" and "running away from the battle". In the end, everyone will understand that it is the lack of troops, not the responsibility of the Nelson Knights...... In this way, the wealth of the Nelson family can still be preserved......

And if they are sentenced to death, then the Nelson family will be disgraced by the whole family, and there is a high possibility that they will be removed from the nobility, and they will be disgraced for generations. Therefore, the Nelson Knights no longer think about victory or defeat at this time, and are bent on death......

I'm not even afraid of death, who else can stop me? Under the frantic slashing of the Nelson knights, those people who were originally like headless flies gradually calmed down. After all, it's already dawn, and as long as you calm down, you'll be able to see your surroundings clearly. It's not like the night, you can't see it at all, you can only continue to mess around.

The people who calmed down were shocked when they saw the Nelson knights who looked like crazy and cut down people at sight. Having come to their senses, they got out of the way.

The Nelson Knights, on the other hand, took the opportunity to rush at the horse bandits who were setting fire to them. And the 500 spearmen under his command also hurriedly followed up and rushed to the grain and grass stacking area together. The adjutant shouted loudly, reminding the Nelson Knight to return to command of his team. But where will the Nelson knight listen to him now that he is bent on seeking to die in battle?

Therefore, the adjutant could only helplessly watch as the Nelson knight alone frantically rushed towards the horse bandits, while he commanded 500 spearmen to follow quickly......

……

The movement of the British army attracted the attention of Koster and Marić, and when he saw 500 British spearmen rushing over, Koster frowned - he did not expect the British to dare to attack......

You must know that the reason why Coster leisurely dared to let everyone light the torches after entering the camp was that he calculated that the enemy was an infantry without archers, and he only dared to form a formation to protect himself, and did not dare to take the initiative to attack.

But now, the other party actually dared to take the initiative to charge...... This script is wrong......

However, he didn't have time to sigh, but instructed his bow captain:

"Liszt, you take the archers to intercept them, don't let them interfere with our burning of grain and grass!"

So, the captain of the archers named Liszt took more than 300 archers to intercept the British spearmen.

As archers, it was clearly not necessary to charge the spearmen head-on. It was not the first time that he had encountered infantry, and Liszt skillfully commanded the archers, divided into two hundred units, flanked them, and fired arrows into the formation of English spearmen on the flank......

For a while, arrows rained down, and the British troops in the formation heard screams from time to time. You must know that as the lowest-level class, most of the spearmen do not even have leather armor, and only officers have armor. So, more than 300 archers, inflicted huge casualties on 500 English spearmen. The screams of the arrows that appeared from time to time greatly lowered the morale of the British troops.

But there was one man who was unaffected in the slightest – and that was the Nelson Knights. As a knight, Nelson certainly had a suit of plate armor. Originally, the Nelson knight still had a war horse. Unfortunately, the loud explosion just now startled his horse. Therefore, he could only lead the troops to fight on foot. At this moment, he directly wore plate armor and charged at the horse bandits. Moreover, it's not slow. After all, as a professional knight, people have practiced it......

The archers, though raining arrows, were only effective against spearmen who were not in plate armor. Facing Nelson, who was wearing plate armor, it was useless......

The British spearmen were pinned down by the archers, and the charge slowed down. But the Nelson knight was still rushing towards the bandits...... Although he was bent on death, the Nelson knight still planned to pull a few cushions on his back for four thousand......

Seeing that the Nelson knights wearing plate armor were not afraid of bows and arrows, Marić, who was sweeping the formation, frowned. After thinking for a while, Marić fumbled for a moment from the backpack on his horse's back and pulled out a wind-up musket......

The ammunition of the gun has been loaded and compressed, and the clockwork is also good, as long as the trigger is pulled and the strip is loosened, it can be shot at any time......

Under normal circumstances, Marić would never have taken out this gun. Because, this is his last trump card. Moreover, if you use a clockwork musket, it is easy for Henry VII to suspect Marlin. Because, Marin's black-shirted knights were the first army in Europe to be equipped with clockwork musket carbines on a large scale.

As a result, Marić would not normally use this clockwork unless there was an emergency......

But now, Marić can't care so much. Anyway, next month Marin will lead a large army against Henry VII. At this point, even if you let people know that they used a clockwork musket, no one has the time to care......

Seeing that the Nelson knight was about to rush to the front and back of the bandits, Marich did not hesitate to take out the clockwork musket, open the simple safety (in fact, it was a simple clip, jam the clockwork, and not let it loose), and aimed at the Nelson knight within thirty meters......

To be on the safe side, Marić at first only aimed and did not fire. It wasn't until the Nelson Knight got close about 15 meters that Marich felt confident that he pulled the trigger and released the clockwork......

After a brief grinding sound, a gunshot rang out, and the Nelson knight fell to the ground wounded......

The impact of the projectile injured the Nelson Knight, but it was not fatal, after all, it wore plate armor. It's just that the Nelson knight has also lost his combat effectiveness for the time being, and his bones are broken when he moves.

In line with the principle of "taking advantage of your illness to kill you", Marić took a jar of mutton fat from his horse thief that had not yet been thrown out, and when he got closer, he smashed it into the injured Nelson Knight. When the clay pot touches the plate armor, it naturally shatters, and the sheep fat flows out.

Marić beckoned, and soon Liszt had the arrows set on fire, and some rockets were fired at the Nelson Knight, who was lying on the ground......

The English spearmen, who had not had time to follow, watched as their commander, the Nelson Knights, were quickly engulfed in flames...... There is even the smell of barbecue accompanied by the smell of burnt meat......

The commander was killed, the English spearmen suddenly collapsed, and the more than 300 archers were still shooting them hard, so many English spearmen turned around and ran, and the adjutant tried to stop them, but he was shot and fell to the ground...... And when the people of England saw it, they also ran with it...... Soon, all that remained in the camp were the horse bandits who set the fire......

The horse bandits did not bother to chase after them, and were busy setting fires. When the fire was almost over, Koster and Mariki gathered their team and prepared to leave.

However, before leaving, Koster deliberately fell last, and then, at the section of the fence where the camp had been blown up, he deliberately left behind a fine money bag made of silk......

This was no ordinary money bag, for it contained some French silver coins, and a letter in French, which was evidently the same old mistake that Marin had done again...... Moreover, it is still the French who are lying down this time......
