When the news of the Kingdom of France's declaration of war on the Kingdom of England reached King William's ears, he was not afraid at all—without him, he would not worry about many debts. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"General Robert has sent news that the King of Scotland with an army of 10,000 has arrived at Hadrian! The ministers will swear to the death to protect the safety of the Great Wall, but the soldiers are outnumbered, and they can only barely support, and the enemy's offensive is becoming more and more fierce, and the arrows and other materials in the army are consumed very much. ”

"King Louis VII of France gathered an army of 15,000 troops, and immediately prepared to attack Mann! And the Duke of Champagne, the Duke of Toulouse, the Counts of Hainaut, the Counts of Artois, and the Counts of Boulogne have announced their entry into the war! ”

"The Irish coalition has landed in Guiness! The enemy is numerous, and it is guarded by light cavalry armed with crossbow arrows, and our spies cannot get close, and it is estimated that there are at least 5,000 people from a distance! Now the Irish coalition is heading to Dukara Castle in the starry night, probably trying to join the remnants of the previous army! ”

Bad news, bad news, bad news, all the bad news that comes in, is this England damned?! The three kingdoms of France, Scotland, and Ireland, plus the three principalities of Dehebas, Champagne, and Toulouse, plus a few minor counties, have a total of 30,000 troops, attacking England from three different directions at the same time!

At stake!

I think this England is going to end!

"Don't panic! Panic what! ”

Seeing that the generals and nobles under his command were scurrying around like headless flies, and the fire on their anxious feet was smoking, such an unbearable performance, King William was angry in his heart at that time, and said:

"What's the hurry?! Panic what?! People haven't called yet, look at what you've become! I'm not dead, you're not dead, our soldiers aren't dead, we still have a fight, what are you all panicking about! ”

Earl Robert and Earl Erburg glanced at each other and looked at the Archbishop of Canterbury, but the bishop only shook his head, signaling that he had nothing to do.

The bitter taste immediately appeared in the hearts of the two generals.

Your Royal Highness, you are very simple, it is an army of 30,000, an army of 30,000 professions, all of whom have undergone simple training!

In this era when 3,000 professional soldiers can start a country and become kings, and 10,000 professional soldiers can destroy cities and destroy countries, 30,000 professional soldiers, even if it is Eastern Rome, which can be called the shield of God, is a large expense.

"You think of them horrible."

King William shook his head, an army of 30,000 was terrible, and in fact, he had trembled with fear when he first heard the news.

This is not something to be ashamed of, as if he met the irresistible force of heaven and earth sweeping towards him, flying sand and stones, no matter who it is, even if it is a fool without fear, he knows to run behind!

And these 30,000 troops are already more terrifying than some small natural disasters! After all, tornadoes, floods, and these natural disasters can't destroy everything, but man-made disasters, thieves are like combing soldiers, and cutting grass and eradicating grass without leaving an inch of grass, these are not lies!

But King William had to be brave, he had to be brave, and he knew from before, from the time he was only an illegitimate child, from the time when all three of his guardians had died by assassination, from the time he faced the blade that was close at hand. When a fatal disaster comes, panic can't bring you anything, only courage and calmness can find a way to survive.

"On the surface, the 30,000 army is indeed an invincible force, even if we mobilize the whole country, we may not be able to make up 30,000 troops, but they are not of one mind."

King William emphatically said this, and at the end, it was not enough, so he repeated it again.

"They don't have one mind."

"Yes, Your Majesty, we all know that they are not of one heart, but even if they are not of one heart, it is an army of 30,000! Even if we try our best, we can't beat them! ”

The Earl of Castle said this, and the Earl of Robert nodded vigorously, and then the two of them looked at their king with great anticipation, expecting William to have any high opinions.

"We need to figure out what they want and what price they are willing to pay."

King William clasped his hands together and held the image of a piece of wisdom beads in his hands.

"Dehebas, and Ireland, this is actually the easiest to settle, because they have already lost a while, both in terms of strength and morale, they are the lowest of the 30,000 troops, and their purpose is also the simplest, just to protect Dehebas. Therefore, if you just want to stop fighting with them, I think it is relatively simple. ”

The Earl of Eiburg and the Earl of Robert nodded, and they felt that this was more reasonable without knowing the power of the soldiers of the Count of Don Jr.

"Then there is Scotland, the minimum demand, they will ask for a large war reparation, the highest demand, they will even ask us to cede land. But the premise of all this is that they can capture Hadrian's Wall, and if they don't capture Hadrian's Wall, everything is not to be discussed. ”

King William's words made the Earl of Eiburg and the Earl of Robert nod again, Hadrian's Wall, as a strong barrier to England from ancient Roman times to today, is really a fortified iron wall, impregnable, and easily cannot be captured. But once it was captured, there was a large plain behind it, and there was no place to use it for defense, and at that time, King William really had no choice.

"Give the order to General Robert! I'll give him the most permission! Money, weapons, equipment, manpower, I'll give him another five hundred Norman warriors! As long as he opens his mouth, he can have whatever he wants! I have only one request, that he must defend Hadrian for me, and that the city be with his head! ”

"Your will, Your Highness!"

The Archbishop of Canterbury nodded at once, and then prepared to draft the paperwork, when several people watched His Excellency the Archbishop walk out of the hall, and only then did they hear Earl Robert ask:

"Your Highness, if it does go so smoothly - and I am not disrespectful to you - Ireland and Scotland can be stopped. Then we also need to face the soldiers of the Kingdom of France, Louis VII has 15,000 soldiers, and we only have 10,000, and we have to support General Robert, although it is a local battle, but it is also very difficult! I don't know what your Highness does? ”

"Ireland, Ireland must have a fight...... Otherwise, they would not have been able to retreat easily. ”

King William shook his head, as if he were sighing, but he immediately perked himself up again.

"France, if I were to say that the least thing I worry about is France, would you believe it?"

Nonsense! Of course we don't believe it!

The Earl of Castle and the Earl of Robert roared in their hearts at the same time, that is a demon! Demon of Law! Although France is not too strong now, it can be regarded as a hegemon on the European continent, not to mention how the Duke of Connain led the French army to beat the Spanish phalanx a few hundred years later.

By the way, this Duke of Connam was a Breton native, and he was technically a foreigner......

"I don't believe it either, but let's analyze it carefully, the Count of Hainaut, the Count of Artois, the Count of Boulogne, these three counts are all Louis VII's own family, they must have helped Louis VII wholeheartedly, but the Duke of Champagne and the Duke of Toulouse, they are so loyal to Louis VII?"

King William is telling the truth, in real history, before the reform of Philip II, the position of the king of France has always been a rubber stamp, the decree does not leave the Île-de-France, and the domestic princes are full of rebellions, which is similar to the time of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty...... It's just that there is no Cao Cao who will coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

And King William, who was born in Normandy and was himself a Grand Duke of France, knows this all too well.

"Your Highness, what do you mean......"

"We march in a hurry! Defeat the Irish forces before they make peace with the remnants of Dukara Castle - or at least force them into peace! ”

King William jerked to his feet and gave a loud order, while his two generals bowed their heads deeply, waiting for their king's decision.

"Then, let's go back to Normandy! We can play the Duke of Champagne or the Duke of Toulouse! We're going to crush one of them, we're going to make them jealous, we're going to make them suspicious of each other, so that they'll spend most of their forces defending against each other, not against us!" Then, let's find another opportunity, poison, assassinate, clear the wall, weaken Louis VII little by little, and finally fight him again! ”

Ps: Forgive me, I only have one shift today, and I can't last up sleeping only four hours a day, so I'll make up for it tomorrow on vacation.

Ps2: Thank you for your valuable comments from the colorless wolf and Tangyuan SAMA, but I really don't have energy today, and the school is also off the Internet, so I'll refine the posts of the two tomorrow.
