Chapter 260: The Decisive Battle

In the past three days, the Catholic rebels have used various means to rescue two of the ten food convoys, and the food can only make the rebels survive for one more day, which is better than nothing!

In this regard, the rebel leaders Virio and Priest Tony expressed their helplessness, and their hearts became more and more aggrieved.

Taking advantage of their strong combat effectiveness, the government forces entangled the rebels in the barracks, forcing them to maintain a defensive posture all the time, and their morale became more and more low.

In this regard, the two of them decided to make a breakthrough, ready to directly defeat the government army in one go, so that the people of England can be bathed in the glory of the Lord again.

All the soldiers gathered together, stood silently on the school grounds, raised their heads, and looked at Priest Tony on the high platform, with a fanatical expression on their faces, and their eyes were full of adoration and admiration.

Although Tony's face was a little immature, his steps were very firm, and he climbed the high platform step by step, his eyes were solemn, and the whole person seemed to be filled with a divine light, which made everyone in the audience more excited and hot.

There are even people below who shout the word "Santony" to express their admiration for Priest Tony.

And it seems that under the influence of others, the shouts of "Santony" grew louder and louder, and even in the end everyone shouted in unison, hysterical.

But Virio on the side did not choose to stop it, he understood that the more fanatical the soldiers, the more likely it was that this war would be won.

And adding a holy word to the name of a person, this is the exclusive vocabulary of Catholic saints, even the Pope is difficult to obtain, let alone the Tony priest.

"Canonization" is a special term in the Catholic Church, it is an extremely glorious and solemn event, and the status of the saint is even higher than that of the pope.

"Canonization", also known as "canonization", means that after a certain investigation and verification procedure, the Pope of Rome issues an edict announcing that the names of a certain or certain deceased Catholics will be "included in the list of saints", that is, canonizing them as saints, and requiring Catholics to worship and emulate them as models.

Like our model workers, the saint is the model Catholic, and the Pope asks Catholics to look up to him.

And every member of the Church who is included in the register not only enshrines his image in the church, but also kneels in front of his image and prays, begging him to convey his request to God.

In addition, every Protestant receives baptism by his name as his "holy name."

Of course, the most glorious thing is that their names will have a prefix with the word "saint" to show that they are different from ordinary people.

There are two types of "saints", "refined saints" and "martyred saints", but Priest Tony is currently not one, and it is not legal to be called a saint.

At this time, no brainless person dared to say this, but joined the cheers.

He pressed his hand, his voice gradually calmed down, he cleared his throat, looked at the dense human heads, and said without hesitation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here not for ourselves, but for England, for the sake of the omnipotent, all-knowing God, to let the glory of the Lord shine again into England, so that we, the Lambs of the Lord, may bathe in the grace of the Lord!"

"Let us unite and destroy the heresies, the Lambs of the Lord, who defile the glory of the Lord, and let us act!

Our Lord will bless us, long live! Banzai! ”

Priest Tony blushed, raised his right hand, and shouted.

At this time, the people who were nearby also shouted loudly, and the people behind who did not hear anything followed without hesitation.

Soon, 30,000 people shouted in unison, and the sound reached into the sky, and the birds flying in the sky hurriedly fanned their wings to swing the sound waves.

And even more shocking to these are the government troops in the confrontation, the 15,000-strong government army, who were shocked by the kind of unison cry, and their hearts palpitated.

At this, the handsome face of the Alexander knight suddenly froze, and he knew that the time of Armageddon had come.

"Command to go down, let the men prepare enough bread and meat to fill the stomachs of all the soldiers, and wait for the men to return victorious!"

For the order of the Alexander knight, one of the attendants did not dare to slack off, responded to the peace, and hurriedly ran to convey it.

On the side, the militia captain from the other counties stood respectfully aside, his eyebrows lowered, and he did not dare to make any sense of his order.

Some of the elderly people present can still recall in their minds the heroic achievements of this handsome knight on the battlefield in France.

And this time, the Knight of Alexander gathered all the militia in armor, and with the words of the guards, the total number reached five thousand, and also put the tall ones at the front as shields.

The cavalry was asked to roam around to find the rebels' shortcomings and deliver a fatal blow.

The two armies slowly walked out of their respective camps and came to the battlefield of the decisive battle.

As the commander-in-chief, according to the practice at this time, he stayed at the front of the army, rode his horse with a calm expression, and commanded the fight under the protection of a kind of attendant.

But the Knight of Alexander, on the other hand, wore heavy armor and stayed in the army, looking at the rebels who erupted with a calm expression.

And Virio, who rushed to the front, is getting closer and closer to the government army, and the curiosity in his heart is getting stronger and stronger, but how can the horses that rushed out easily return?

Just as the rebels were approaching 300 feet (about 100 meters) of government troops, a sudden puff of smoke rose from the government army, and the air was filled with the smell of sulfur.

And when Verio was surprised, he rushed to the front row but fell a dozen at once, and by the offensive, the rebels continued to rush forward, and after two rounds of fire, the cavalry, which was originally only more than two hundred people, fell more than eighty this time.

That is, by the time the government troops arrived, half of the cavalry ranks were dead.

The rebels were stunned by the sudden casualties and noise, and paused, and seeing this, Virio had to speak out, which allowed the rebels to move on.

The musketeers hurriedly retreated to the rear, and the armored infantry went to the front.

The swarming rebels rushed straight at each other, like two stones colliding with each other, stirring up violent sparks, blood and corpses, which suddenly became the main theme.

The armored infantry struggled to stop the rebels who were trying to charge at the rear, and the longbowmen in the rear and the longbowmen of the opposing rebels fired at each other, canceling each other out.

From time to time, the pikemen stuck their spears out of the gaps, giving the onslaught to the rebels.

And the impact of the rebels is getting bigger and bigger, and the armored infantry in the front row is gradually unable to hold on, and the whole army has a possibility of being scattered.
