Chapter Ninety-Nine: Calm Down
The soldiers scattered and completely lost their courage scattered and fled, crying and struggling desperately in the shadow of death, but King William was unwilling to let them go! The Norman soldiers laughed and waved their swords and axes, spotted the head of an unlucky man, and smashed it down!
"Wow-"
The brains splashed, another life was harvested, and the surrounding routs didn't even dare to turn back, and when they heard this voice, they only hated that their parents had lost two legs and ran faster. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
“…… Let's go, the war is over. ”
Seeing this situation, King William said in a flat tone, victory, he has experienced too much, this victory is neither the most significant, nor is it very difficult, from the beginning, he has been pressing the other party to fight, from the beginning, he knew that he would win!
"Yes, king."
Reflexively, Count Robert immediately agreed, but after a while, he hesitated and asked, "But, king, what will happen to the remnants of the army on the hill over there?"
The remnants of the army that Count Robert was referring to were naturally the 1,500 soldiers led by Count Connell, who had already made up their minds to die, put life and death aside, and only thought of 'killing one to make one, killing two to earn one', and now they had seized a high ground slightly above the terrain in the chaotic battle, and stationed there to defend it.
There is no doubt that any army that dares to storm this mortal will, no matter how elite the soldier is, whether it is a Norman warrior or a Norman iron horseman, will be greatly harmed.
But even this, King William was prepared.
"Let the Norman warriors surround them, and then they will be hungry, panicked, and exhausted, and they will rout themselves without us doing it ourselves, and then we will go up and collect the corpses."
"Yes, you are absolutely right, King."
Count Robert came to his senses, saluted his king tamely, and obeyed his orders wholeheartedly.
"Then, Count Robert, I'll leave it to you, don't let me down, I'll go back and take care of the business first, perhaps...... We can heed the idiots and attack Ireland on the way! ”
Seeing that he defeated the Northern Irish coalition so easily and effortlessly, and defeated all the available troops of the Duchy of Dehebas in one go, King William inevitably had some thoughts of underestimating the enemy, and many untimely thoughts popped up in his head, after all, he still can't forget the richness of Earl Don and Desmond!
"If I can grab it once - if I can grab it once, I'll be developed!"
At that time, King William was salivating at the thought of this. There is no way, as long as there is enough profit, it is a sheep, and it can become like an old wolf, not to mention that King William was originally a greedy and fierce lion!
So, what is the little Earl Don who made King William's saliva flow down three thousand feet now?
Let's move back a few days, to four days later, when the Earl of Don Jr. received the news of the defeat of the Northern Irish coalition.
"What do you say! The Northern Irish coalition and the Duchy of De Hebas did not support even a day, and they were immediately defeated? ”
"Not one of the surviving soldiers remains, and now they are all concentrated in Cafeli Castle, waiting day and night for us to come to the rescue?"
"The Northern Earl's coalition army was wiped out, and not a single one of them ran?"
"Duke Ed injured an arm, and Count Connell simply didn't know where he was?"
"The Great Prince of Dehebas...... Who is this? ”
That's it, with the extremely ominous news brought by the veteran old spy Insider Lis, every time the insider Liss said a word, the faces of the Earl of Kildel and the Earl of Osoruni turned white, and when the insider Liss finished speaking, the faces of these two guys could be compared to the whitest white paper, and even the capillaries could be seen clearly!
"It's not true...... This is not true...... It's not really ......"
Vaguely, the Earl of Don Jr. even saw that the Earl of Kildel was showing signs of madness, only to see him holding his head, muttering to himself, and suddenly jumping up and shouting: "I don't believe it! I don't believe it!! You must be lying to me! Come on, drag this guy who lied about the military situation out and behead him! ”
A huge conference room (originally Douglas's House of Elders), naturally it could not be that only the three of Earl Don and the three of them, the knights, and some elite soldiers were here, used to protect the safety of the nobles, and when they heard the Earl of Kildel say this, their reaction was naturally -
"Zheng-"
The sword was unsheathed, but instead of dragging the insider away as the Earl of Kildel thought, they aimed their sharp swords at him!
Under the threat of life and death, the Earl of Kildel remembered that his soldiers had joined the carnival called 'Massacre' early when the city was broken, and they were still burning and looting outside, and now it was the Earl of Donchester's soldiers who were protecting their safety!
"Hah...... Haha......"
The Earl of Kildel was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, his lips twitched, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only pretend to be stupid.
"Have you calmed down? The Earl of Kildel? ”
"Calm down, calm down, definitely calm down, everyone is a nobleman, there is something that can't be negotiated and settled, why do you have to dance with a knife and a gun, are you right, Earl of Kildel?"
Count Osoruni on the side saw that the form was wrong, and hurriedly stood up to ease the atmosphere. Anyway, he is also an earl, although he is a little timid, but he still has to give face, Count Xiao Tang nodded, and the soldiers around him opened their eyes vigilantly, and then slowly put their swords into the sheath.
To be honest, this time Count Don has gone a little too far. He really didn't know what kind of concept the Duke of Ed and the Northern Earls Alliance in Northern Ireland were for the nobles of Southern Ireland, that is, the nightmare that haunted them for half their lives!
And now, these two nightmares have united! And they are also assisted by the soldiers of this Duchy of Dehebas! But they still lost!
And there's no way to fight back!
How can such an opponent not make people fearful! How not to panic and shock! Even, these two counts thought that they would just go home!
Anyway, it's not them who lose, it's not them who are unlucky, it's not them who lose their troops, they make a fortune from hitting Meng Island, as for the future...... As long as King William doesn't come to the island of Ireland, they won't want to join in again!
"Unfortunately, the intelligence shows that this King William is gathering his fleet to cross the St. George Strait to attack Ireland!"
Count Tang sneered, and then told the news that was enough to make the two counts desperate and dispel all their delusions, and then he enjoyed the complicated expressions of the two counts as if the sky had fallen, mixed with heartbreak, hopelessness, and so on.
Okay, that's the end of the bad taste, but it's not just a bad taste, it's a way to manipulate people's psychology - to break all the people's psychological defenses with continuous bad news, and then stretch out a life-saving straw to him, congratulations, a loyal dog who is grateful to you is done.
This is actually similar to Stockholm syndrome, which makes the victim develop a psychological dependence on the perpetrator, and this dependence will turn into goodwill, gratitude, and finally even worship over time.
People can be domesticated - Stockholm syndrome.
"As long as you listen to me, then I promise you that we will be able to defeat King William. Besides, even if you want to back down, will King William let you go? Do not forget how he treated the nobility of England that he conquered! ”
So, the little Count Tang was kind and seductive, and his words, combined with his strong military strength, and his record of defeating two dukes, still had some credibility.
So, after the two counts looked at each other, they finally gritted their teeth and stomped their feet, and finally recognized Count Tang's status as the leader of the alliance and handed over all his soldiers to him, and Count Tang Xiao Tang could be regarded as having completed the initial collection of military power.
"But what do you have to do to defeat such a formidable opponent?"
When handing over the military power, his own family ring, Count Osoruni hesitated, and finally asked the question, and then he immediately hurriedly explained: "Of course, I don't have any distrust of you or other thoughts, I just want to know in advance, peace of mind."
"It's okay, of course you should know, and I need your support too."
Earl Don shook his head, and then said a very philosophical sentence: "I will let King William know that war is nothing but a continuation of politics!"
