William Wallace's barracks was located on a hillside surrounded by mountains and rivers.

Looking around, the endless flow of the River Forth is shaded by the greenery at the foot of the hills to the north, and the rolling hills of Ochir are behind it, like a solid wall that guards the sparsely populated Scottish Highlands behind.

The distant mountain to the west is the towering Mount Loman.

The valley at your foot is the only gateway between these two barriers.

The River Foss forms an alluvial plain at the bottom of the already wide valley, and the river twists and turns, turning gracefully, drawing one after another of rivers and plants with abundant water and grass, which should have been full of snow-white sheep strolling here and there...... But they also seem to know that a great war between humans is coming, so they all disappear.

The River Forth stretches eastward, scattering into numerous harbors in the distant estuary, infiltrating a large wetland before flowing into the North Sea from the Forth of Forth.

The south-west foothills are all covered with endless greenery, the lowland plains of central Scotland...... There, the peasant rebels led by William Wallace will fight a life-and-death battle against the English army, the Irish mercenaries, and the French mercenaries led by Edward the long-legged!

Of course, William Wallace also had the promise of the Scottish aristocracy, and they would also help in the battle, just as they did in battle.

William Wallace patrolling the barracks.

He saw that the morale of the soldiers was high.

Some of the fighters were carefully wiping their weapons...... After several victories, although the weapons were not fully standardized, they also captured a considerable amount of military supplies.

William Wallace watched with satisfaction the training of a thousand-man spear team he had assembled, advancing and retreating together, and at the same time drawing and receiving, very rhythmically...... After a bloody battle, his spear team was fully formed.

Others were fiddling with bed crossbows and stone cannons...... William Wallace already knew that Edward Long-Legged had also formed a crossbow team and a stone cannon team, and he was amazed that Edward Long-legged was as good at learning from his opponents as a Tartar bandit.

Fortunately, he still has some black powder "cannonballs" in his hand, otherwise, this battle will be completely a battle of cold weapons.

William Wallace smiled wryly, if the captain of the year saw such a scene, he would definitely laugh...... Yes, this battle is like a battle between two jungle tribes, natives.

The Liuqiu army does have the capital to defy other armies in the world.

Edward the long-legged was in the tent and his generals were pointing and crossing the map.

Due to the advent of bed crossbows and stone cannons, they are readjusting their ranks, and it will be a great loss to stand in line as they used to.

Edward Longleg said calmly, "Generals, don't forget that they still have something that can be fried......"

One of the generals respectfully replied: "We must not only avoid the range, but also disperse some ......"

"The first thing they used was the bed crossbow and the stone cannon...... Will they set their positions within two hundred paces? ”

"They're not fools, they certainly won't!"

Long-legged Edward nodded, he never took others for fools on the battlefield.

He used negotiations to delay the peasant mobs, thus gaining ample time to prepare.

He forced William Wallace and the others out by bypassing York City and attacking the peasant mob's lair, causing them to voluntarily abandon an important town.

These methods made his generals extremely admired, and they all obeyed him.

Long-legged Edward said calmly: "This is a new battle, and a final battle, and to defeat William Wallace is to defeat the Scots completely...... We will enjoy a thousand years of peace. ”

Forth Bay, Scotland.

An Oriental-style three-masted sea ship was temporarily moored there.

Li Ao was talking to a Scottish merchant who had just made a ship.

He was shocked and said, "What? Your Duke Robert the Bruce didn't attack the English with a pistol, but lent them to Edward the Long-legged along with the gunners you trained?! ”

The Scottish merchant bowed his head and said, "Yes...... I guess they made some private agreement...... I'm so disappointed......"

Oh...... Li Ao's face was full of pain, I don't know how much damage it will bring to William Wallace, perhaps, they will think that we are supporting the English behind our backs!

This is not the case in the real world......

Li Ao immediately asked, "This ...... Can a thousand-ton sea ship pass through the Forth River?! ”

The Scottish merchant thought for a moment and said, "The River Forth is so deep that I have seen it pass a sea-ship with sixty oars......"

Li Ao's fingers flicked quickly on the coffee table, in Europe, a sixty-oared ship was no more than five hundred tons...... If he ventures into the river, although he is not afraid of running aground against the current, he does not know anything about other hydrological conditions, and may be in unimaginable danger.

However, this was the best way to get close to William Wallace, and if they had taken the road and the time it took to transport the supplies, I am afraid it would have been a month to arrive.

If they had taken advantage of the perpetual northwesterly winds in the North Sea, they might have been able to reach it in five days.

Well, it's worth the risk...... And that's what he does.

Li Ao's three-masted ship plunged directly into the mouth of the Forth River!

Fortunately, the sails of the three-masted ships were blown full sails by the northwest wind, and in the reverse current of the River Forth they swooped down on the north-central part of Scotland!!

The Scottish Lowland Plains at the foot of the south-west hills.

A life-and-death battle began.

However, both sides invariably placed their teams at a distance of 500 meters from each other.

Both of their teams found each other that their bed crossbows and stone cannons were useless.

Edward the long-legged rode his horse, and he said to a man in iron armor and an iron helmet beside him, "William Wallace is a clever fellow...... But he won't choose!

Choice is always more important than struggle...... He couldn't figure it out. ”

The man was also riding a war horse, and he nodded silently in agreement, which sounded reasonable.

William Wallace also rode his horse, and he watched the formation of the opposing team equally calmly...... The main forces of the English army, like themselves, avoided the straight range of the enemy's bed crossbows and stone cannons, and instead attacked from the flanks.

This is equivalent to a different battlefield, and no one dares to charge against bed crossbows and stone cannons.

The armies of England glistened in the sun, and countless colored banners swayed behind them...... They outnumbered and outnumbered the Scottish peasant rebels.

William Wallace could feel that some of the soldiers were a little uneasy, and even he saw some of the noble private armies on the sidelines a little commotion.

This is an extremely bad sign......

He rode his war horse back and forth in front of the position, and after making some rounds, he suddenly stopped his war horse.

The white horse neighed and raised its front hooves with all its might.

William Wallace's long hair fluttered in the air.

He shouted:

"Fight, and you may die; Escaping, at least surviving, year after year, until the end of his life. You guys! Are you willing to use so many days to exchange for a chance, the only chance! That is to go back to the battlefield and tell the enemy that they may be able to take our lives, but they will never be able to take away our freedom! ”

The fighters of the peasant revolt were agitated, they raised their weapons and shouted: "For Scotland! For freedom! Fight! Fight! ”

William Wallace nodded calmly, and morale came.
