After arranging all this, William seemed to be a lot more relaxed, and took a hundred companion cavalry to ride his horse and turn slowly, deliberately letting the companion cavalry step on neat horse steps and put on a majestic posture, intending to deter this rebellious army.

Stomp ... Stomp ...

William and his fellow cavalrymen rode slowly, observing the situation in the camp as they wandered.

"This camp is simply a pile of tents, except for a wooden gate in front of the façade, the rest of the place is a loose wooden fence, and the effort to set up camp is too rough." William rode his horse on the edge of the camp and sighed as he pointed to a fence at random.

"Yes, His Royal Highness William, this kind of camp has no defense at all, if there is a cavalry sneak attack at night, as long as these fences are pulled, it is estimated that the horses can step on the joint camp." A companion cavalryman behind William followed William's words and said.

With a slightly surprised expression on his face, William turned his horse's head, pointed to the fellow cavalryman who spoke, and said, "You are right, it is great to be able to say this, let me introduce myself to everyone." ”

"Yes, His Highness William." A stout but clear-eyed cavalryman in the group stepped out of the crowd and said, "My name is Andrew. Brontë, born in Rouen, is the son of Dalton. The son of a knight of Brontë, he is currently the captain of the cavalry ten. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be the Kirin of the Brontë family, your father, the Knight Dalton, is the commander of the cavalry of my father, Duke Robert, and it is indeed a tiger father without a dog. Work hard and I'm looking forward to your performance, Andrew. William patted Andrew Dalton on the shoulder and encouraged.

"Yes, His Highness William." With a snap, Andrew gave William a textbook-like chest thumping salute with an excited expression, and the sound of the collision of the armor and the cuirass carried a very solemn atmosphere.

"No need to be polite" William waved his hand, took out a sword decorated with fine silver ornaments from his waist, handed it to Andrew, and said: "Andrew, this knight's sword is given to you, work hard, I hope you grow into a real knight." ”

"Your Highness William, I, Andrew, will not disappoint your expectations of me." Andrew turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and raised his hands to take the knight's sword in William's hand, and said with tears in his eyes.

William patted Andrew on the shoulder, but without saying a word, turned his horse's head and led his fellow cavalrymen onward.

Andrew who returned to the queue was unsurprisingly met with the envious and envious gazes of the cavalry.

Along the way, this camp was a mess, either unclean and prone to plague, or the entry and exit precautions were not strict, and clowns and female branch girls walked through without taboo.

William took his companion cavalry around and returned to the same place, where Uncle Adolf, Steward Osborne, Knight Rodrigo, Faller, and Commander Daniel had already gathered more than a thousand soldiers and waited.

Seeing William coming with his troops on horseback, Steward Osborne rode to William's side, took out a piece of parchment from his bosom, unfolded it, and said: "Young Master William, more than 1,200 soldiers directly under the Count of Evreux have been assembled here, plus the rest of the soldiers of Young Master William, this army has more than 1,500 people, including 100 companion cavalry, 100 heavy cavalry, 198 light cavalry, 300 Norman archers, 120 Swiss mercenaries, 300 heavy infantry, and 400 light infantry. ”

"Well, Steward Osborne, very well done." William nodded with satisfaction, looked around at Knight Rodrigo, Faller, and Captain Daniel and said, "Knight Rodrigo, Faller, and Captain Daniel, you are all familiar with the soldiers you lead, and you can raise any difficulties." ”

"Yes, His Highness William, there is nothing difficult for us to lead the soldiers." Knight Rodrigo and Faller said in unison.

But Daniel on the side . Commander Buhler frowned slightly, took a step and said: "Your Highness William, my ability is limited, and I can't command both melee infantry and archers, please ask Your Highness to appoint someone to command those three hundred archers." ”

Perhaps out of some considerations, Captain Daniel handed over the command of the three hundred archers to William, which gave William a big problem, because William did not have the right talent in his entrainment, and Osborne's butler was competent, but William was reluctant to leave him.

At this moment, a cavalryman rode out of the ranks of his companion cavalry behind William, who was none other than Andrew, who had just been given a sword.

"Your Highness William, please give me a chance to command the archers to fight for you." Andrew rode his horse in front of William, gave a chest-beating salute, and said.

Xu is optimistic about Andrew's ability, perhaps trying to win over Andrew's father, Knight Dalton, William pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and said: "Okay, Andrew, since you have the confidence to lead the bow battalion, I will appoint you as the commander of the bow battalion, don't let me down." ”

"His Royal Highness William Xie will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations." Andrew turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and solemnly saluted his chest, and said solemnly.

"Get up, Andrew, and go to the bow camp and take your soldiers." William smiled and nodded.

"His Royal Highness William Xie." As he spoke, Andrew mounted his horse and headed for the bow camp.

Thundered... Thundered...

"One-two-one, one-two-one, one-two... ”

The iconic slogan of Captain Jeffrey's Company could be heard from afar, and William looked out to see Captain Jeffrey's Company leading the Norman infantry and levies towards the area.

Except for the neatly lined Norman infantry, the rest of the conscripted peasant soldiers were a mess, listless, and ill-armed, and a burden.

"It seems that I wanted to use the Norman infantry to lead the conscription of peasant soldiers as a standing army, and it was a terrible decision." William held his right hand on his forehead, with an expression that could not bear to look directly, and muttered to himself.

"Your Highness William, all 1,700 conscripted peasant soldiers have been brought here, please instruct." Captain Jeffrey straightened up and thumped his chest.

"Alright, Captain Jeffrey, you take one hundred and fifty Norman infantry back and go to Daniel. Buller's lieutenant to the commander of the regiment, who was responsible for leading three hundred heavy infantry and one hundred and fifty Norman infantry. As for the 1,700 conscripted peasants, I'll leave it to Osborne's butler, and I think he'll have the means to train it. William forced a smile and said to Captain Jeffrey.

"As you command, His Highness William." Captain Jeffrey shouted slogans and led the Norman infantry into his direct legion.

William's arrangement is not only for the sake of rational allocation of combat power, but also to balance Daniel. Commander Buller did not want to dominate the infantry, after all, he was not William's vassal, but a mercenary who was only loyal to money.

"Steward Osborne, thank you for your hard work, and these conscripted infantry will be handed over to you. On top of that, you'll have to take them to cut down trees to make prefabricated rafts for camping, and you'll take care of the rest of the logistics. William looked at Osborne's butler and said.

"Leave it to me, Master William." Steward Osborne bowed and said.
