"We've won!"

"Hooray, hooray!"

"Long live the Duke!"

......

The river was filled with the cheers of our soldiers, who excitedly collected the surrendered ships and reaped the rich spoils of the ships, while the burned ships were pushed to the shore by the soldiers and poles.

Hundreds of surviving enemy soldiers were pushed out by our soldiers and thrown into the cramped, gloomy bottom cabin with their limbs tied.

However, more than twenty transports of the Wexon knights hurriedly sorted out their formation, and only then did they follow the team under the guidance of the warships sent by William.

"His Royal Highness William, the results of the battle have been counted, please take a look." Sir Hubert handed William a roll of parchment and said, "This time we have destroyed twenty-six enemy ships, captured twenty-eight of them, and escaped eleven of them.

In addition, our army captured more than 600 enemy soldiers and captured countless supplies, grain, grass and arrows. ”

"What are the losses of our army in this battle?" William asked, turning his head as he walked all the way to the bow of the ship.

"The losses of our army are not large, only three dragon-headed ships were slightly injured in the battle of the jumping gang, and they can be put into battle again after simple repairs.

In addition, the crew and soldiers were killed and wounded only in the dozens, most of them minorly. Sir Hubert followed William and said, "Your Highness William, do we still need to land in Elbeeuf?" ”

"No, since we are already engaged with Count Kay's fleet, our landing in Elbeuf City is safe." William looked ahead along the winding channel of the Seine, pointed ahead and said, "We rushed straight out of the Seine, into the English Channel, and landed in the city of Trouville-sur-Mer."

There's a river called the Tuke River that connects Lysyracuse to Trouville-sur-Mer, and our fleet can go straight outside Lysyracuse if we follow the Tuke River upstream. ”

The Tuque River is a French river with a total length of 104 km, a basin area of 1,305 square kilometers, and an average flow of 13.5 cubic meters per second.

Since most of the warships under William's command were Viking dragon ships that were used both by water and sea, it was easy to see them in the coastal waters and rivers.

"By the way, how are our Waxon Knights?" William then asked.

"When encountering an enemy attack, the fleet of the Knights of Wexon was in disarray, several ships capsized, hundreds of people fell into the water and died, and only more than 20 were rescued by our troops in time." Sir Hubert shook his head slightly and sighed.

"Send a few warships to accompany them, don't snub them." As if he didn't care, William casually ordered: "Let's go, rush out of the Seine!" ”

"Yes, His Highness William!" Sir Hubert saluted William and bowed to his retirement.

More than 40 dragon-headed warships, more than 30 transport ships, and 28 captured ships once again formed a mighty fleet, all the way down the Seine.

Standing on the bow of the flagship of the dragon's head ship, William looked at the city of Rouen getting closer and closer, and looked at the outline of the Cathedral of Saint-Malo in the distance, a familiar scene flashed in his mind, and William's eyes couldn't help but moisten.

"Passing through Rouen, but not being able to take it back, do you think I am a failed Duke of Normandy! Sir Hubert. William stared at Rouen without squinting, and whispered to Sir Hubert.

"Your Highness William, please don't blame yourself like this, it's not your fault. Everything you do is to destroy the rebellion and retake Normandy, and no one can blame you! Sir Hubert comforted softly.

Although William knew that this was Sir Hubert's words of comfort, with his understanding and support, William's guilt and self-reproach in his heart were reduced a lot, and he looked at the city of Rouen not far away, and said in high spirits:

"Sir Hubert, I promise you that in a few years I will be able to sweep away the rebellion and regain the Duchy of Normandy."

"I'm sure you'll be able to do it, Your Highness William!" Sir Hubert nodded heavily.

At this moment, there was a commotion from the fleet near the city of Rouen, and William looked in the direction of the commotion, but saw tens of thousands of soldiers under the banner of the Count of Cay on the east side of the Seine on the east side of the Seine, and William's enemy Cay was standing on the high platform of the city wall and looking at William.

William turned to look at Kay, but without any emotion or anger ordering the ships to land and attack the city, William stared at Kay calmly as if he were looking at a dead man.

Kay at the head of the city was stared at by William, took a cowhide from the hand of his entourage, and said loudly to William: "Hybrid William, aren't you very powerful?" Come on, hit me!

Look, this is your relative, and you are as lowly as this cowhide.

Come on, come and meet your relatives, ahahaha or! ”

As he spoke, Count Kay dropped the cowhide in his hand from the city, and Kay and thousands of soldiers burst into a shrill laugh.

William, however, on the bow of the ship, had no intention of making any move, but let Sir Hubert go on, his eyes fixed on me as if he were looking at a dead man.

"Gah! Seeing that the other party did not react, Kay's laughter suddenly froze.

Originally, Kay wanted to provoke William and induce him to attack the city of Rouen in order to eliminate him in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect William to be so tolerant, so Kay couldn't help but look up at William and pay more attention to it.

"Push out all the enemy captives and give them some color!" William ordered with a blank face.

Hundreds of captives were then pushed out of the cabin by William's soldiers, their hands and feet tied with ropes, and their eyes covered with strips of black cloth, and one by one pushed to the edge of the deck.

"Push them down and give them a bath!" William's raised right hand waved down and commanded in a loud voice.

Poof... Poof... Poof...

As if dumplings, hundreds of captives were pushed off the deck and into the water one by one by William's soldiers, splashing two meters high.

The captives who fell into the water writhed their bodies weakly, but their limbs were firmly bound by ropes, and they had to watch feebly as they sank to the dark bottom.

"You!" Kay was speechless by William's actions, and finally burst out with a sentence: "Don't you have any sense of noble honor to speak of?" ”

"Listen to the soldiers at the head of the city!" William completely ignored Kay's inability to speak, looked up at the rebels with a shocked face, and said loudly: "I have a grudge against Kay, and I will not spare any prisoners when I fight Kay in the future!"

Unless you can reform and kill the traitor Kay, I will be able to forgive you for your sins and give you a rich, unexpected reward!

Choose, folks. Whether to die in obscurity or live, to be a nobleman with wealth and status, it depends on your choice! ”

After saying that, William did not care about these rebels, and led the fleet down the river to rush through Rouen and march towards the mouth of the Seine.

The soldiers at the head of the city looked at each other, and some lowered their heads in thought and looked at Kay with malicious eyes.

Glancing at these malicious glances, Kay turned to look at his soldiers with suspicion, and although nothing was found, a seed of doubt had been planted, and it would take root when the time came.
