Chapter 233: Shocking Plan
The reason why I can still run lifelessly now is purely because it has become inertia, I raised my head and looked at the German army in front of me, and decided to work harder.
But the war horse began to foam at the mouth with his tongue very uncompetitively, and the splatters of saliva were all on my face, and the muscles were tense for a long time, so that it was on the verge of collapse, just like a boiler with a steam index report, which was always in mortal danger of being destroyed and killed.
"Old Earl, you have done me a wretch!"
Watching the warhorse's muscles twitch more and more uncontrollably, I could only secretly complain in my heart, complaining about the Count of Hanover, who gave the horse to me.
Before the thought was settled, the hooves of the war horse stumbled together, and finally staggered to the ground, the neck was pestled into the dirt, and the butt pouted and popped me out like a seesaw, and rolled on the ground a few times before stopping, the dirt was filled all over the mouth, the nose was also stuffed with dust, there was no place on the body that did not hurt, and the cough was almost life-threatening, and it was estimated that a few ribs were broken in ten times.
"Ahem...... It hurts! ”
I gargled and spat out two broken front teeth from my bloodied mouth, and my eyes seemed to have sand in them, and I couldn't open them vaguely, and I could only vaguely see many dark shadows running towards me, and I tried to move my legs to stand up, but found that my left leg was not at all obedient, and was slumped there like a rag bag, and my sackcloth pants were greatly opened by bright red blood.
Several Norman horsemen ran up to me, jumped off their horses and gathered around to carefully examine their injuries.
"Your left leg must be broken, it's not good, sir."
One of the horsemen gently pressed my wounded leg and shrugged helplessly, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
"There is no doctor here who can take the bone, only to immobilize the injured leg for the time being to prevent another fracture."
As he spoke, he began to tear the strip of cloth from himself, and asked his two companions to hold me down to prevent him from moving, and then removed the dagger from his waist as a scaffold, and made a gesture to come forward to bandage it.
"Wait!"
I stretched out my hand to stop his movements, sweating profusely, and now I felt uncomfortably tight in my chest every time I said a word, and my trachea was full of the smell of blood, and my nose was choking.
"I can't let the large army behind find out that I am not His Majesty the Emperor, otherwise it will be a great blow to morale, quickly pick me up, get back on my horse before joining them, and continue to attack the Saracen position."
"But your legs can't ride a horse at all, and you'll be disabled, think twice, my lord!"
The Normandy cavalry was so anxious that tears were about to come out, and they didn't know if they really felt sorry for me: "Besides, the bump on the horse's back is likely to make the wound in your lungs expand again into an internal wound that is difficult to heal." ”
Holy! You're not scaring me, are you?
Hearing this, I'm really a little afraid, if you want to say that your status is low and you don't want to be welcomed, at least you can get by, one person eats the whole family and is not hungry, anyway, there is nothing to care about, but if you are so big in blood now, and you will be a cripple in the future, and you can't say two words and vomit blood, wouldn't it be the eldest young master of the Qi family in the Jiupin Sesame Official, not only does he look ugly, but his wife also cuckolds himself behind his back!
Wait, it looks like I've got a green head now......
That's it! That's it! It's really not worth it to lose the happiness of the rest of my life, thinking of this, I raised my head and was about to let the cavalry continue to bandage me, but I happened to meet the burning gaze they threw at me head-on, and the ingredients in it were very complicated.
Forehead...... To put it simply, there is worship and encouragement!
In short, it's just a matter of watching the excitement, not afraid of big things to instigate me Fan Hu to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, it is estimated that even if they let them suffer a little for themselves at this time, it is absolutely no problem, it seems that the scourge of star-chasing brains is not a Korean patent, it has started from medieval Europe, and it is not shallow!
"Do as I say, come, whoever gives me a horse, and fastens me to the saddle with a rope."
I gritted my teeth and put on a tall image of my brainless fans: "Find me the emperor's handsome banner, everyone will get back on their horses, and step on the Saracen people's position in one fell swoop!" ”
The Norman cavalrymen had tears of reverence for the hero in their eyes, and they helped me onto the horse, and then scrambled to tear off the rags from their dirty clothes and twist them into ropes, and they were not afraid that I would be disgusted, so they firmly fixed me in the saddle, and a cavalryman excitedly carried the handsome flag, as if holding some precious object, and sent it to me as if he were offering a treasure, and did not forget to say to me emotionally: "My lord, you are really a model of chivalry!" ”
"Hehe......"
I snorted with mixed tastes, expressed a flattering answer to him, took the emperor's handsome flag, and rode away in the crowd, leaving the world with a dashing back, and the large army behind me saw the handsome flag fluttering again, and His Majesty the emperor was safe and sound, and burst out into thunderous cheers, and continued to charge behind.
"God, what did I do in my last life?"
Pursed my lips bitterly, I don't know if it was a psychological effect or what's going on, and I felt the blood gushing in my throat almost vomit out.
Rushing less than a mile, we ran into the Saracen cavalry that was chasing and killed, the swords and swords on both sides came and went, many people fell off their horses in the fight, and then were trampled into meat by the horses' hooves, but because the speed on both sides was very fast, this was just a blink of an eye, the formation of the Normandy cavalry, like a hair that had been combed one by one, many people did a horse in the confrontation just now, and the enemy's losses were incalculable, because they had not had time to turn around, and they were surrounded by the infantry that came up like a tide from behind, In a moment, it was lost into invisibility.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel deeply excited, endured the pain in my chest and held the handsome flag with one hand, held it high above my head, and the galloping wind immediately unfolded it, in order to let all the soldiers behind it see, and sure enough, after a while, they broke out with the roar of the mountain and the tsunami, regaining the pride that the German soldiers should have, and the strong morale even hid in the clouds with a weak heart, not daring to seize its edge.
After running forward for an unknown distance, the enemy's infantry phalanx finally reappeared, and many Saracen cavalry were retreating from all directions.
On the battlefield under the city of Reggio Calabria, the local sporadic battles were basically over, the Germans stopped the rout and began to turn to a counteroffensive, and the Saracens also urgently reduced their forces and rearranged the defensive line, but there were still many knights and black slave camel cavalry who had just risen and cut too deep into our battle line, and had to give up in pain.
Although we are still at a numerical disadvantage, at least for now on the field, Germany is not inferior to the Saracens, and there is a faint desire to overshadow them.
Since I was not wearing a helmet, a Norman cavalryman ran into my field of vision from the side, pointed in the direction of the city and shouted: "Look, my lord, that is a signal that the Duke has conquered the city walls!" ”
Sure enough, the city wall was shrouded in black smoke, covering the Saracen battle flag fluttering at the head of the city, and the infidels were slightly unstable after discovering that the situation was abnormal, and many soldiers stood in place in horror and did not know what to do, they obviously did not expect that they were abandoned by the omnipotent Allah, turned into a praying mantis that catches cicadas, and the yellow finches, who really pose a threat, finally use their weakest weakness to easily step themselves under their claws.
Thinking of this, I also suddenly understood that the quiet departure of the Normans was not because they were afraid of the enemy in front of them, nor did they want to watch the fire from across the shore to preserve their strength so that they could see the opportunity to go down the mountain to pick peaches, but to let the Saracens relax their vigilance because of the light enemy.
The interlocking questions all made sense, and it was only then that I figured out why the fleet had suddenly sailed to the main island of Sicily a few days ago, and their mission was to divert the Saracen navy, which had been roaming the waters of Reggio Calabria, to quietly launch a landing from the sea for the Normans, and to clear a safe and operational space!
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty...... Is this your big picture? ”
I clenched the Emperor's handsome flag in my hand and muttered to myself:
"It's a pity that you can't personally reap the most glorious Christian victory after the Battle of Tours, and enjoy the people's admiration for the apologetic heroes."

"An uphill battle, isn't it?"
Seeing that I opened my eyes, the Duke of Normandy, who had been sitting beside him, put down the delicately framed thick scroll in his hand, and because the folds piled on his forehead were stretched out layer by layer, he turned around and picked up the flask on the table, poured a full glass and handed it over.
"I thought I was going to bear your boar-like snoring until Judgment Day, and I asked the doctor if you had slept to death, God forbid!"
After taking the wine glass, my lips were chapped and about to explode, and I couldn't wait to start swallowing the cow, desperately pouring it into my throat, and a lot of wine syrup flowed down the corners of my mouth into my neck, staining the clean shirt that the waiter had changed into for me.
I leaned my neck until the bottom of the wine glass, I swallowed a mouthful, raised my arm to wipe my mouth and burped comfortably, but I accidentally shook my chest and almost vomited all the wine I had just drunk.
"After I brought you in for healing, your men kept barking outside, as if they were afraid that I would dissect you alive, and they could not drive you away, and now they have been guarding outside the house for a whole day and a night, and are more loyal than the most obedient hounds in Normandy."
Duke Richard laughed and fiddled with the threads on the cuffs of his robe, as if to tell me what a funny homely trivia.
I tried to move my injured left leg and tried to sit up on my own, but I found that the injured leg was bandaged and fixed there and could not move, so I had to give up the intention of continuing, find a comfortable position again, lie back in the very warm futon covered by layers of fur, and my eyes fell on the scroll that the Duke of Normandy placed on the table, although I felt that the atmosphere of communication between the two people was a little strange, but I still asked:
"When did you start reading? This is not the arrogant black duke I remember. ”
