The greatest weakness of the Spanish front in this era was the soldiers.

The enemy in the front is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that the enemy attacks from the side, and the soldiers, if they are not trained rigorously, will not be able to make a smooth turn and make a queue change.

As a result, the enemy who attacked from the flanks would take out the musketeers one by one, and the pikemen who did not react in time could only be routed.

And for the British army, the queue change carried out by the flank attack was not difficult at all.

Since the establishment of the Royal Army, which has been trained in the Spanish phalanx method, special attention has been paid to discipline and military regulations.

In later generations, the so-called army was distinguished by strict military regulations, and the Yue family army and the Qi family army were all made strong by strict military regulations.

Therefore, after receiving a training code compiled by His Majesty the King with university military training and the military methods heard, the strength of the army of the whole kingdom was greatly improved.

Therefore, when the cavalry assaulted on both sides, under the incredulous gaze of the cavalry, the queue began to switch, and the cavalry faced it fiercely.

Therefore, from a distance, the cavalry on both sides and the infantry in front have been deeply trapped in the phalanx of the British, unable to extricate themselves.

"Quick, fire the artillery, and shoot hard at those English barbarians!"

Seeing such a situation, Duke Guise could not have imagined that his army had been dragged down, and then what was waiting for them was only a little bit eaten.

So, when he saw this, he shouted loudly, wanting the artillery to save his army.

"Yes! My lord! The artillery commander on the side immediately agreed, but he said with some embarrassment:

"However, there is not much gunpowder left, at most it supports two rounds of fire!"

Hearing this, Duke Guise glared at him fiercely, then turned his head to look at the soldiers on the battlefield, and commanded loudly:

"You cover them with artillery fire!"

"It is your duty to make the soldiers retreat, including those on the city walls, the heralds!"

"Yes, sir!" Immediately, two crisp sounds sounded.

"Boom-" "Boom-" Then, artillery fire rang out from the French positions, and then a dozen boulders rushed towards the British troops.

"Boom-" The boulder fell irregularly into the phalanx of the British army, stunned the soldiers who were entangled with the French army.

"Oh! My God! "Help!" ……

When the soldiers encountered such a situation for the first time, they couldn't help but look panicked, and the formation had a tendency to collapse for a while.

"Stand firm, what are you afraid of, continue to kill the enemy!" "Stop for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu didn't run, what are you running?" ……

The soldiers were in chaos, but the officers played a very good role at this time, they used various tricks to quickly stabilize the morale of the army, and the phalanx returned to its original state for a while.

Unfortunately, the French army took advantage of their chaotic moment to play the music of retreat, and most of the French army had already broken free from the entanglement of the British army and began to retreat.

"Damn it!" An officer in his twenties, with long gray-brown hair, couldn't help but curse as he looked at the scene in front of him where the French had evacuated.

He didn't know about the others, but he was very reluctant to let these French slip out of his hands, which symbolized merit and future.

As a child who came out of the orphanage camp, he left the orphanage camp at the age of sixteen and chose the army without hesitation.

Therefore, in just ten years, he has gone from a small soldier to a second lieutenant company commander in charge of more than 250 people, a middle-level official.

Thanks to the good salaries of officers and the army subsidies of the royal family, he has reached twenty pounds a month, and he has also found a merchant's daughter, and has successfully settled in London.

However, although there was no shortage of money, he still wanted to climb up and gain merit, so as to become a knight and a knight, and raise the family in one fell swoop.

And the retreat of the French army in front of him made his face full of unwillingness.

Heads! These are all military medals.

Not only him, but also other officers, at their level, money is no longer a pursuit, knighthood is their goal.

And as the Supreme Commander, so did the Alexander Knight.

Although he has always been in charge of the army, he has not received merit from the battlefield, and even if His Majesty trusts him, his title is still a knight, a knight who is not ranked.

Therefore, the withdrawal of the French army was the most unbearable for him.

"Chase me, keep in formation, and pursue the whole army!"

Riding on his horse, watching the back of the French army gradually leaving, the Alexander knight shouted loudly.

Immediately, the herald passed the order, and the whole army began to slowly pursue.

The withdrawal of the French troops, some of which maintained a clear order, but most of them turned into a rout, throwing away their guns and unarmour, and being embarrassed.

Weapons were scattered all over the place, swords, shields, spears, banners, and so on.

After all, most of them are just enthusiastic farmers, how much discipline can they have.

And the cavalry, although only about half of them were withdrawn, with only a thousand remaining, returned in an orderly manner and were not attacked again.

At this time, looking at the British army slowly pressing, and then at the city of Rouen behind him, the Duke of Guise found that if he didn't run, he would be in danger.

After the cavalry returned, plus the soldiers who came down from the city wall and the soldiers who had evacuated from the front, there were more than 4,000 people in total.

"Let's go! Get out of here! Quickly changing into a layer of armor with the help of his attendants, the Duke of Guise took a deep look at the British troops who were pressing closely, and the defenders of Rouen who were gradually retracting the city walls, and said crisply.

"English, I will remember you!" The Duke of Guise roared madly in his heart, and he could not forget the humiliation inflicted on him by the English.

Immediately, everyone no longer had any objections, and around the Duke of Guise, they began to evacuate as quickly as possible.

However, how can ordinary people catch up with the speed of cavalry?

While most of the cavalry escorted Duke Guise to quickly retreat from the battlefield, most of the infantry could not catch up.

What awaits them is to be surrounded and suppressed, and surrender becomes their only option.

"My lord, do you want me to catch up and take down those Frenchmen!"

Seeing that Duke Guise and the others were preparing to flee, the cavalry on the side were eager to try and hurriedly asked for battle.

After thinking for a while, Knight Alexander said: "Yes, but you must remember to consume them little by little, and do not fight directly!" ”

"And, after twenty miles of pursuit, come back at once!"

"Yes, sir!" Several cavalry generals, though they could not understand what Alexander meant, still agreed in a loud voice.

When they were gone, looking at the devastated battlefield, Knight Alexander exclaimed:

"The English have achieved their goal?"
