On January 25, 1550, the winter cold began to fade away, but the air was full of dampness, especially in the morning and evening, which made people shiver to the bone marrow.

The commander of the 1st Guards Regiment, Knight Alexander, stood side by side with the cavalry company Knight Baldwin, standing on the hillside near the barracks, looking out at the dense Catholic mob not far away.

As the main force of resistance to the Reformation, the entire Catholic rebel mob numbered 30,000, and unlike the anti-enclosure rebel army, the composition of the Catholic rebels was extremely tight.

They were basically made up of Catholics, local militia, loyal farmers, hunters, and even some squires, and were supported by parts of Devon and Cornwall, and their power was greatly expanded.

At present, according to the investigation of Alexander Knight, the real number of rebels facing off with the government army of 15,000 has reached 5,000.

In other words, these 5,000 people all possessed weapons and were not afraid to go to the battlefield, and initially formed combat effectiveness.

However, the government side was not afraid at all, not only had an infantry regiment of 2,700 men, but also a cavalry company of 500 men, and with the tens of thousands of militia gathered nearby, it had no fear of the 30,000 rebels in front of them.

For the victory of his side, the Alexander knight has a strong confidence in victory, but how to achieve victory with the least loss is a matter of deep thought.

For the guards in his hands, Knight Alexander cares a lot, and the baby can't do it.

"Your Excellency, the regimental commander, we have been facing each other for a week, and I don't know when we will act, and the group of young men under me are already hungry and thirsty!"

Putting down the monoculars in his hand, Knight Baldwin, the commander of the cavalry company, touched his beard and asked Knight Alexander, who was quietly observing.

"Mr. Company Commander, how have you looted the food of those mobs in the past week?"

Instead of putting down the monocular in his hand, Knight Alexander looked at the cavalry company commander Baldwin as he watched.

"Your Excellency Regiment Commander, in the past week, I have led my men to loot or burn a total of six grain transportation operations, and the total amount is not more than 10,000 pounds!"

Speaking of this, Baldwin Knight immediately raised his eyebrows, and with a hint of smugness, he recounted.

"Very good, this is their amount of food for more than half a week!" Only then did Knight Alexander put away his long white neck, the corners of his mouth curled, and he looked at the proud Baldwin Knight on the side and said.

"I think the rebels have a bad stomach this week with us!"

"Yes, Your Excellency, I don't think the rebels want to confront us now, and they are probably discussing how to evacuate at the moment!

After all, a two-legged person can never outrun a four-legged one! ”

Baldwin's head tilted slightly, and his gaze quietly shifted a few inches away from Alexander's body as if nothing had happened, and he was hiding something with laughter.

"Go on, my company commander, I don't think they will last long!"

Alexander's blue eyes stared at Baldwin, and he smiled like a blooming rose, which made Baldwin a little frightened, and his face was a little abnormal.

"Also, the cavalry company should be cautious recently, keep an eye on them, and if they have any unusual movements, tell me immediately!"

Alexander didn't pay attention to Baldwin's abnormality, and his handsome face suddenly became serious, as if he thought about it, and his eyes focused on Baldwin again.

"Yes, yes, for such a thing, we will definitely inspect carefully, please rest assured!"

Baldwin sat down on his horse, straightened up, and suddenly, stammered, much to his embarrassment.

"Yes! I think it's time to decide the winner in the next few days! ”

Knight Alexander's eyes were slightly puzzled, but he didn't pay attention to it, and then turned his gaze to the somewhat disorganized camp of the Catholic rebels that were on fire.

At this time, the camp of Catholic believers, even after the efforts of Virio, who once led more than a thousand militias, was still a little chaotic.

But there is no way to do it, most of the 30,000 people are farmers who have never been on the battlefield, and no matter how well they are taught, it is unavoidable.

Of these 30,000 people, less than 3,000 had been trained by the militia and had been on the battlefield, and after selecting some hunters and stronger farmers, he barely got 5,000 men.

It can be said that the current Catholic rebel army was established and created by him, and it is full of his painstaking efforts.

If he is the leader of the army, and Tony. Priest Richard is the spiritual leader of the army, and together the two lead the army.

At this time, the two army leaders frowned, sitting opposite each other, you and I chatted with each other.

"Mr. Virio, our food situation has not leaked out!"

Priest Tony still had some acne on his face, and he was not even eighteen years old, but he looked old.

"Yes, no one knows the exact data yet, but it won't last long, after all, the food will only be used for three days at most.

In three days, if there is no food delivered, we will have no choice but to fail! ”

Verio smiled bitterly and shook his head, as if frustrated, and said.

"No, it's to restore the glory of the Lord, and it can't just fail!

I'm going to keep urging the Devon squires to keep delivering food, and I don't believe they're going to stop them all!" ”

Priest Tony suddenly stood up, looked at Virio with a grim face, and said sharply.

"Well, we will be victorious, and the glory of God will shine again on England, which is our life's pursuit!"

Virio straightened his back and shouted loudly, full of energy.

The two of them had fanatical expressions on their faces, hideous and terrifying, a majestic momentum like a rainbow, this is the power of faith.

The next day, as in the previous days, the government forces sent men to keep an eye on the rebels huddled in the barracks, not daring to distract them in the slightest.

However, the rebel side took advantage of the advantage of numbers and sent tens of thousands of people to cover the grain delivery team, refusing to give the government army a chance.

The knight of Alexandria inquired about this, and if he found that it was mostly composed of peasants, he sent an equal number of militia to stop it.

Faced with the peasants, the militia defeated and captured the peasant army without pressure, and brought back a large amount of food.

Seeing this, the rebels stopped doing this stupid thing and could only stay in the barracks.
