On the east side of the English Channel, in the territory of Flanders, an embarrassed knightly order is moving forward at the fastest speed, little Henry, who is riding on a horse, stretches out his tongue and licks his chapped lips, feeling that his throat is about to smoke, but the water in the kettle has long been drunk, and he doesn't even dare to stop to get water, because the Song army in the rear is also desperately chasing, in case he is caught up by the other party, I am afraid that he will also become a prisoner of war of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Hurry up, we must get to the coast by tonight, there are already ships waiting to meet us, and we can get a good rest as soon as we get to England!" Little Henry turned his head and shouted in a hoarse voice at this time, he was indeed as Hu Yanqing guessed, this time he was going to escape from the Holy Roman Empire and rush to the Kingdom of England, which was separated from the Holy Roman Empire by a strait, and the pursuers in the rear would definitely not be able to catch up with him.

Hearing little Henry's encouragement, the already tired knights behind him also cheered up one by one, urging the horses to speed forward. However, after this period of escape, not only did everyone have reached the limit, but even their downward horses were exhausted, so by noon, some of the horses could not support it, and they fell to the ground foaming at the mouth.

Although the body was very tired, but little Henry still forced himself to come to the river to fill the kettle with water, and then sat down next to his war horse and drank it in a small sip, for the current bad situation, he also had a long expectation, in fact, when he was defeated by Hu Yanqing for the first time, he already felt his defeat, so he sent his wife back to England early, and the king of England was his wife's father. She was well cared for, and he corresponded with the King of England and received his promise to help him escape to England, which was his only retreat now.

Just as little Henry had just rested for a while, the knights in the rear who were inquiring about the news suddenly rushed to report that the Song army that was chasing them had appeared dozens of miles away. This made him also startled, and hurriedly stood up and got on his horse again to prepare to escape, but at this time their war horses had not yet recovered, and their speed could not run at all.

Seeing this situation, little Henry suddenly gritted his teeth and ordered all the knights under his command to take off their armor and throw away the weapons in their hands, after all, their armor and weapons were too bulky, and if they were removed now, they would definitely greatly reduce the burden on the horses. But after this order of little Henry was given. However, many knights objected, because for knights, armor and weapons were their honor and life, so they were not willing to discard them anyway.

Little Henry did not embarrass these disobedient knights, because he knew the pride of knights, but he would not stay and wait to die because of these people, so those knights who were unwilling to lay down their weapons and armor were left behind. He himself led the knights who were willing to lighten their burdens and hastened their escape to the sea.

By late evening, little Henry had finally fled to the seashore. At this time, there were less than a thousand knights left around him, and all of these knights had no armor, and only the most basic knight's sword in their hands was in their hands.

Luckily, there is no enemy army on the seashore. The Song army in the rear was still dozens of miles away from them, and there was already an English fleet docked there on the coast, waiting for their arrival. At the sight of these English ships, little Henry and his knights all shouted with joy, and then were answered by the English. They got on the boat as fast as they could, and when the ship slowly left, the Song army behind them finally arrived, but unfortunately they only watched them leave.

Seeing the Song army who rushed to the beach, the little Henry on the boat finally breathed a sigh, and then slowly sat on the deck motionless, this period of escape has consumed most of his physical strength and energy, at this time it is finally safe, and under the relaxation, he can't help but sit down and can't get up again.

The people around found out about little Henry's situation, so they helped him to the cabin to rest, when little Henry just lay down in the cabin, immediately sounded snoring, after all, he was so tired, he had to rely on a breath to support here, and even if he ran for a few more days, I am afraid that he himself would be exhausted to death.

When he woke up, little Henry found himself still at sea, originally the Holy Roman Empire and England were only separated by a narrow strait, but the place where they boarded the ship was not the narrowest part of the strait, but the northeast area of the strait, which was still quite far away from England, and it was at night, so the ship went very slowly, and it had not reached England until now.

After getting enough sleep, little Henry felt much better, and then the captain brought him a hearty breakfast, which was exactly what he could not ask for, and after enjoying his breakfast beautifully, it was already bright outside, and little Henry slowly walked out of the cabin.

At this time, the fleet was sailing in the English Channel, England was now under Norman rule, and just a dozen years ago, William, as the leader of the Normans, conquered England, known as "William the Conqueror", and after William's death, his son Henry I (the Europeans at that time were really fucked, except for Henry is William, many kings are called Henry, don't be confused) inherited his throne, and this Henry I is the father-in-law of Henry Jr.

At this time, the sky was just dawning, and when little Henry came out of the cabin, he saw the narrow English Channel, and the scenery on both sides of the strait was also clearly visible, but when little Henry saw the territory of the Holy Roman Empire on the east side of the channel, his face showed a complicated look, where it should have belonged to him, but now he became a loser, and had to give up there and flee to England to ask for asylum, maybe he will never have a chance to go back in his life.

The current capital of England is not London in later generations, but Winchester west of London, not far from London, after the Normans conquered England, they also built important defenses in London, so Winchester and London are very important cities in England.

The ship continued to sail forward for a while, and Winchester was already in sight, which made little Henry finally relieved, but at this moment, he suddenly heard the people on board cry out in great horror: "Oh my God! What is that? (To be continued.) )
