Chapter 205: The Fate of the World (13)
William Wallace took Walker Jr. and Oliby Populan to accept the knighthood of Duke Robert the Bruce.
They fell to their knees on one knee, and Duke Robert the Bruce drew his matching sword and tapped it on their shoulders in turn.
Duke Robert the Bruce announced loudly in the conference room, "I grant William Wallace the status of knight!" From then on, they will be led by the Bruce family on a path of honor! ”
The nobles in the conference room cheered for them.
William Wallace slowly stood up at this time and said:
"I'm here today to find a way to work together...... The English people want to disunite us and make us quarrel with each other...... They are using all means to divide us into isolated parts!
This is just as I have seen in the far east, where the Tatar robbers have divided the people under their control into four classes, laughing at the people of different ranks fighting and fighting...... And forget that it was the Tatar robbers who caused all the catastrophe!
I, William Wallace, declare here that I will fight for all of Scotland for the rest of my life, and not for someone, or for my own personal vendetta! ”
Duke Robert the Bruce asked wryly, "Can you forget that the English killed your wife?" ”
"Forgot ...... Because sin has been duly punished, I will now fight against the root cause of that evil, and fight against the tragedy that does not happen again in the whole of Scotland!
The whole of Scotland was free, and so was I...... Happiness for the whole of Scotland and for me ...... I am reminded of a famous saying in the East, 'The worries of the world are worried, and the joy of the world is happy'......"
These words made the entire conference room quiet, and the nobles and nobles looked at each other...... This is what a peasant can say?!
Duke Robert the Bruce smiled awkwardly and said, "Haha, it seems that the distant East has taught you a lot...... Come on, let's study the battle plan together......"
At night, in Old Bruce's house.
Duke Robert the Bruce said, "Father, I feel a strength in him...... That power makes my blood boil! ”
"The worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world? Hehe, birds with too bright feathers will be the first to be hurt by people, but the king of crows will not ...... Which one are you going to do? ”
“……”
"Let him go and show his valor to the English, we only want the interests of the after-war...... Someone sent us a batch of Eastern weapons, I heard that the power is amazing...... I advise not to use it in battles against the English, and not to let other nobles know about it for the time being.
Let's not attract the hatred of the English...... But to defeat them is really nerve-wracking...... But the brightly feathered bird came and untied the knot in my heart...... Birds with too beautiful calls will also be hurt by people first, so let them fight hard, and you can take our elite to give the English a final blow! ”
“…… I've seen the power of those weapons, it's a weapon that only Thor can have, but how can I not ...... in this battle"
"Alas, my son...... Your worst enemies are the Scots...... The English will be your strength. ”
“……”
"I'm sure the other nobles agree with our battle plan......"
"Yes, they unanimously demanded that William Wallace take the lead with his peasant rebels."
"Look, you've got the support of the majority, and you're going to make that support a habit!
He...... Did he agree? ”
“…… Agreed. ”
Hey, hey, hey...... Old Bruce couldn't help but laugh.
Arms dealer Li Ao's three-masted ship reappears at the London River docks.
He looked at the busy people on the dock and said to himself, "...... King of England, you will come to our ......"
The commercial area leased by the Governor of the Second Minor is under intense and orderly construction, and dozens of four-wheeled carriages are transporting stones.
It is said that the stone was brought from France and Italy.
The counterpart to construction is destruction...... It's war.
The 3rd Infantry Corps of England faced off with the Scottish coalition in a flat steppe...... The two sides are less than 150 meters apart.
The English warriors of the Third Legion were well-organized and lined up, with colorful flags fluttering behind their ranks.
The Scottish coalition army was basically a peasant army, they were basically plain clothes, except for some nobles' personal armies, no two people were dressed the same.
William Wallace had a blue mineral dye on his face, which was copper sulphate...... It's a Scottish tradition to paint it like this, and it means that you're going to fight with all your might!
Many of his warriors were painted like this...... They were not the same as the more well-dressed nobles, who only obeyed the orders of the nobles.
However, in terms of momentum, the peasant army resistance led by William Wallace was clearly higher than the other coalition forces.
Duke Robert the Bruce stood behind the peasant rebels with his personal armies, and he looked curiously at what looked like a wooden bed hidden behind them.
When he looked carefully, his eyes suddenly lit up, those were big crossbows!
He saw the crossbow arm that had been bent on the wooden bed, and he saw that a crossbow arrow the thickness of a child's arm had been placed on the crossbow string!!
Yes! It's still like this!!
Behind them were hundreds of wooden beds...... The front was blocked by a long line of peasant rebels standing in several rows...... The English troops on the opposite side could not be seen at all.
The 3rd Infantry Regiment of England sent a messenger to persuade him to surrender, loudly claiming that the King of England had said that only the first offender should be punished, and that the accomplice would be spared, and that he would be innocent as long as he left the battlefield.
As a result, his persuasion was ridiculed by the crowd, and some people turned around and showed their butts to the messenger!
Scottish men's skirts with no panties underneath......
The messenger had no choice but to retreat.
The general of the 3rd Army waved his hand and said: "Longbowmen are out of line......"
Behind him, a cavalryman with a pennant with a bow and arrow on it ran back and forth in front of the queue.
The longbowmen stepped forward from behind the Kaijia infantry, and they began to hang hard strings on the longbows, and then stuck a few arrows in the ground.
The longbowmen will shoot their formation out of formation, then send the ironclad cavalry to charge, and finally the Kai infantry.
These are all battle formations invented by Edward the long-legged...... The English army has understood this style of play to the core.
Duke Robert the Bruce looked excitedly at the wooden beds, and then at the English longbowmen who were forming a team...... His heart was full of anticipation.
Command, my knight, give orders!
His lips trembled a little......
William Wallace stared closely at the formation of the English longbowmen, shouting: "Wait, wait......"
Then, suddenly, he shouted, "Get out of the way!" ”
The peasant rebels immediately retreated, giving way to the firing area of the bed crossbow!
The expression on the face of the General of the Third Infantry of England immediately froze, and his pupils narrowed...... He saw a long row of things arranged neatly...... He didn't know what it was, but he had an inexplicable concern.
The fighter in charge of aiming quickly adjusted the height of the bed crossbow...... After a certain period of training, they knew that this weapon, like the English longbow, relied on dense attacks on the opponent, as long as the direction was fixed and the height was simply adjusted!
William Wallace shouted at this time: "Waste! ”
This edict is a complete indication that he is a soldier who has been trained by the Exile Army......
The launchers raised their wooden hammers and slammed the trigger down almost simultaneously!
Hundreds of crossbow arrows the thickness of children's arms were thrown at the longbowmen 200 meters away!!
At this time, they had just lined up neatly, and they hadn't had time to catch the arrows......
