Chapter 140: The March (I)
Fiercely clenching the reins in his hand, the earl took a deep breath and said, "Continue to search for the enemy within fifty kilometers of the perimeter, and if you can't find it, give up first!" ”
"Yes, sir!" The knight responded
"You go and clean up the battlefield first, and when you're done cleaning the battlefield, assemble your soldiers right away! The Count instructed the nobles who followed him.
"Yes, sir!" The nobles responded and went about looking for their troops.
"Welcome back, honorable baron!" Banstesk stood in front of William's horse and bowed.
"Very well, but Banstek, don't you think you should explain to me why my flag is on the battlefield?" William nodded, then asked.
While William asked, several surviving officers also gathered around, ready to answer William's words.
"That's the kind of adult, this is all my idea, I see that our soldiers can't stand it on the frontal battlefield, so I persuaded the officers to join the battle!" Banstesk explained to William 1510.
After hearing this, William's face looked a little better, and he could move troops at will without his orders, which seemed to him to be terrible, that is, if there was a rebellion, William might not be able to fully command this group of soldiers.
"That's true, Lord Baron, Banshtesk told us his judgment, and we were afraid that you would be captured after the defeat, so we listened to his persuasion and joined the battle!" Several team officers also testified.
"However, I don't want this to happen again in the future, no one can move and command the Manders infantry without my orders, including the heavy infantry, and no one is allowed to move without my permission, understand?"
William glanced at the officer a few times, then at Bansteske, and again emphasized in a serious tone, believing that Banstesk would understand what he meant.
Sure enough, Banstersk's face remained unchanged, and he bent down and saluted: "Of course, there is only one person who can command the army, and that is you, honorable baron, we can only command the troops with your permission!" ”
Looking at Banstersk, who knew him so well, William nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Okay, go and let the soldiers clean up the battlefield, they can keep the small objects by themselves, and I will reward some after cleaning!" ”
"Do as you command, my lord!" A few people respectfully agreed, and went to clean up the battlefield with the soldiers, which could be regarded as earning some extra money.
William dismounted, handed over the reins to a soldier, and went to look after the prisoners.
Of course, the ordinary captive could not interest him, and he went to the place where the enemy knights were being held.
The captured knights were not tied up one by one with hemp ropes, like ordinary soldiers, they were simply disarmed and kept in the custody of the knights of Denlenburg.
There were about one hundred and ten knights who were captured, including nobles and ordinary knights, and he came mainly to see the apprentice knight he had let go of before, that is, Husa.
It's not that William is idle, he is this kind of person, in his previous life, he even wanted to know the fate of a piece of paper when he threw it, this time he directly affected a living person, of course he wanted to see if the young midshipman was captured.
"Hello sir!"
The knight in charge of guarding them saw William and nodded respectfully, William's prestige, as well as the bravery on the battlefield, the age guards on the high ground, giving them a place to charge, and the delay on the frontal battlefield, all of which made them feel admired, and even many of them thought that William played a great role in the victory of this war.
Of course, Banstersk did not know what was on its own initiative.
William nodded back to the saluting knights, and then walked among the captured knights.
"Oh, if I'm not mistaken, this is Viscount Lausas!" William did not find Husa, but instead saw the Viscount Lausas with a depressed face.
He was sitting next to the Earl of Consville, who was a noble count, and William did not taunt him, but sneered at Viscount Lausus, who had besieged him before.
Just when Viscount Lausas was about to get angry, William saluted the Earl of Raceville beside him, and said with a look of great respect: "Hello, honorable Earl of Raceville! ”
"Hello, Dear Baron William!"
"We will give you the treatment that matches your status, please rest assured, you will be put back in time, no one dares to insult you!" William made a polite remark and left the place to continue his search.
A few minutes later, William found the young knight-apprentice, Husa, who was sitting beside his father, seemingly chatting about something.
"Hello, Baron Banlaire!" William walked up to them and said hello.
"Ah, hello, Baron William, is there anything wrong with you?" Baron Banlais asked.
"Ah, it's nothing, I have the honor to fight your second son on the battlefield, I'll come and see him!"
"It's okay, Hu Sa, the battlefield is a little heavier, and you're not injured!" William asked.
"I didn't ...... It's okay, my lord, I'm healthy! Hu Sa said a little nervously.
"Haha, don't be nervous, I just want to see you, and I want to ask you something!" William laughed.
"That's the Baron Banler, your second son, Knight Husa, I think his strength is very good, and there is room for improvement in the future, I like him very much, so I want to be able to let him play under my command, what do you think?"
"Ah, you don't have to answer right away, you can think about it first, I'll come back to you after the battle, and I'll let the knights take care of you!" William didn't wait for anything they could say, and left.
To be honest, William does like Husa, of course, not like that, his sexual orientation is quite normal.
He admired Husa more, and he couldn't say where he admired it specifically, and Husa looked sixteen or seventeen years old, very similar to William in the past, maybe this is why William admired him.
"Are you leaving, sir?" The knight in charge of the guard saw William come out and said politely.
"Ah, the matter is settled, I'll go first!"
Two hours later, the battlefield had been largely cleaned, and most of the seriously wounded in Denlenburg had been relieved, while the lightly wounded had been rescued.
As for the light and serious wounded of the enemy, it was, of course, a direct execution, and there was no need at all, and there was no financial resources to treat the enemy's soldiers.
The corpses of his own soldiers have been basically collected, there are more than 2,100 people, nearly half of them have been killed or wounded, and more than 2,000 soldiers have survived.
The corpses were piled up and then buried, and according to the custom of the Holy Church, even soldiers who died on the battlefield could not be burned with fire, in which case the fallen soldiers would lose their souls and fall into hell.
