Chapter 203: The Fate of the World (11)

William Wallace counted his army at that time, and there were only about 400 people in all...... He had to accept everyone's support and became the leader of this rebel army.

All of them knelt down on one knee and swore allegiance to him.

In the time that followed, under his leadership, they breached one after another the fortresses of the minor nobles of England, turning several seemingly impregnable fortresses into flaming moments...... The whole land of Scotland was suddenly in ruins.

William Wallace embraced more resistance fighters who came to him, and was embraced by more people...... His fame spread everywhere, and people privately called him a hero.

It seems that people all over Scotland are singing the praises of his deeds...... But William Wallace had no pride in his heart, but a heavy feeling.

The people who followed him were all a rabble with blood, and he picked out the small nobles to fight, and it was impossible to attack the big nobles, but sooner or later they would have to meet with the regular army of England, how would they be treated at that time?!

We have embarked on a path of no return, either we will be truly free or we will die a brave death!

But...... If the Liuqiu army came here, a small detachment could completely defeat their most elite ironclad cavalry squadron!

In successive battles, they only harvested more than 200 regular military weapons, dozens of Kai armor, and dozens of war horses...... Luckily, they have plenty of food.

He had to arrange them according to the area where they lived, and divide the whole team into several combat squads according to the combination of long and short weapons.

When the two armies face each other, if they scream like savages and rush to kill collectively...... That's naΓ―ve!

Old Walker didn't care about this, and said, "For hundreds of years, we have been charging together, where do we care about long and short weapons...... In the middle of a fight, who can remember which squad they are in and who they have to work with?! ”

Well, William Wallace took a step back, don't rush it yet, start with the young people.

The entire team lacks archers...... Bows and arrows are easy to make, but a qualified archer needs to be trained for at least six years before they can go into battle!

What method to defend against the English longbowmen?

Obi Poblin didn't care about this, he said, "We can make countless wooden shields and let them shoot arrows at will!" ”

William Wallace shook his head, passive beating was not something he had learned in the Wandering Army.

It's a pity that he couldn't make arquebuses and artillery, rockets...... But he can make a bed crossbow!

He can also build stone cannons that will be farther away than the English longbowmen!!

As long as their longbowmen are unable to fire volleys, as long as their phalanx is disrupted, the English army will only be as scattered as we are...... They will never be our opponents, we are fighting for freedom and life, they are only for military service and military pay!

God, if you give me a squad that I fought in the past, even if it's just a squad, I can turn the tide of the battle!

Gunpowder, by the way, I can make gunpowder!!

While William Wallace is designing the future for the entire rebel army, the big man Walker Jr. is so interested in William Wallace's personal belongings that he constantly interrupts his train of thought.

Holding up his revolver, he asked, "What is this?" Is it that it can kill the English archers?! ”

William Wallace, who had already taken the bullet down, said: "Revolver...... Anyone can be killed within fifty meters...... A hundred meters away to see your luck. ”

He took the grenade and asked, "What is this?" Why does it make a thunderous sound? ”

William Wallace did not teach him to twist the back cover of a grenade at all, so there was nothing dangerous, he said: "Grenades...... Flat ground can kill and injure people within 100 square meters...... These are all ordinary weapons in the Liuqiu army. ”

"I like your dagger ......"

"That's not a dagger, it's a jungle tactical knife, you won't use it...... You're still good for long axes. ”

"Those two guys are the flintlock pistols you were talking about?"

"Yes, I'll let you pick two clever team members......"

"Oh, I forgot...... I'll look for it again. ”

The weapon that Li Ao gave him came in handy at this time, and William Wallace was about to train two musketeers.

The Scottish blacksmiths may not have been able to shoot arquebuses, but they were skilled carpenters, and soon built the bed crossbows and stone cannons described by William Wallace.

They lacked horses, but they were not short of large livestock, and donkeys were of great use at this time, helping them to pull the strings of their bed crossbows, and also to help them pull up the counterweight stone cannons.

His warriors were about to lift William Wallace to the skies, and the weapons he designed himself were the ones that only the gods could wield!

They drove the donkey out of the bed crossbow, and then struck the trigger with the wooden clay, and the child's arm-thick crossbow arrows sped like lightning with the sound of the wind, far farther than the longbows of England, and were full of power!

The crossbow bolt could easily reach a dirt slope more than 300 meters away...... This is already the farthest distance between the two armies in this era!

Another characteristic of warfare in this era is that for hundreds of years, basically both sides have reserved the battlefield at the same time, and one game is decided to win or lose...... However, William Wallace did not learn this style of play from the Liuqiu Army.

So, he came up with a weapon that shocked his teammates.

In fact, there were large crossbow arrows as early as the Roman era, but they were basically used to defend castles, and they were not launched to fight, and they did not use such "advanced" weapons when they captured the islands of England in remote areas, so whether it was the English or the Scots, they had never seen it anyway.

As long as everyone presets the battlefield, it's easy to do...... The stone cannon of the counterweight "invented" by William Wallace was even more impressive, and it was easy to smash dozens of kilograms of stone balls to a distance of two or three hundred meters...... If dozens of them are placed together, even if the other party discharges a formation of 10,000 ironclad infantry, they will be smashed into a pile of dead ants!

Old soldiers like Old Walker have been completely full of admiration since they saw the bed crossbow and stone cannon rehearsed, times have really changed, and now it is the world of young people!

The war has been completely changed by William Wallace.

Old fighters like Old Walker are indeed conservative, but that doesn't mean they're fools...... They could have imagined in their own minds the power of these two weapons!

The more people who have been on the battlefield, the more real the picture he imagines!

While they were busy training, the Crown Prince of England sent a large army to pacify Scotland, including archers, infantry and ironclad cavalry, a total of 15,000 men, and they quickly passed through York City and pounced directly on the Scottish region.

In a room at Bruce Castle, the elder Bruce patiently listened to his son, Robert the Blue, talk about the current situation in Scotland.

After listening, he said slowly, "Edward Longleg is not in the City of London now...... His gay son sent the elite 3rd Infantry Corps, and no matter what, this war, we must win...... Only after winning will Edward Long-legged us beg for ...... We can offer all kinds of conditions so that you can become the king of Scotland......"

Robert Bruce said excitedly, "Let's take the man named the hero William Wallace, I heard that he has quite a few soldiers under his command...... I really want to meet him! ”

Old Bruce said coldly, "He's just a farmer...... Of course he's going to charge into battle for a nobleman like you...... Don't mention the word bullshit hero, a guy who doesn't care about his own safety for his own woman can only be called a reckless man, and a hero only fights for power...... However, I can borrow him to use it......"

"I'm going to give him knighthood!"

"Yes...... Let others work for you, what do you have to pay......"
