Chapter 22: The Battle (2)
I was a little unwell today, and I went to take a drip, so my hand was not very convenient when I was typing, and the update was slow, but after tomorrow it was the weekend, and I would make it up when the time came.
Anyway, when I went to the front page of this book to look at the data today, I found that the status of my book was changed to A, of course, it doesn't use any eggs now, but it's still a happy thing, after all, I have the motivation to update.
En, in the end, I just asked for recommendations as usual, and I asked for clicks, and the clicks rose really slowly.
Even if the Kingdom of Great Britain, which had been protected by the Roman Empire, had abandoned its armaments, the Roman Empire was forced to recall the Roman troops stationed on the island of Great Britain due to its own imperial crisis, and the Saxons in the north took the opportunity to invade, they had little resistance and could only rely on Hadrian's Wall left over from Roman rule to resist.
But when the safety is threatened, as long as you are not a fool, you should arm yourself, and after so many years of training, the army of the Kingdom of Great Britain is no longer the kind of waste it used to be, not to mention that the knights of Great Britain themselves are famous on the mainland.
When King Yusher raised all the troops of the whole country, it was not that he could not fight the Saxons, but he was completely in his heart.
It's just sad that he is the king of the Kingdom of Great Britain, and he has a large territory and the people under his rule who need to protect him, while the Saxons are nomads, which leads to the fact that even if he has the strength to fight with the other party, he can only suffer from the invasion of the other party silently.
The same situation as Great Britain is China. How many powerful empires are there in Chinese history, but they have always had the trouble of being harassed by the northern nomads, and they have never disappeared, except that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took the courage to break the cauldron and exhaust the vitality of a country for decades, and almost wiped out the Xiongnu, so that they could only go all the way west to attack Europe. However, the Xiongnu were gone, Xianbei, Khitan, Mongolia, and Manchus, and the fertile Central Plains had never completely solved the problem of the northern nomads.
So this is the country with a fixed land compared to those nomads shortcomings, the other party wants to come, want to go, today I am in a bad mood I will take all the belongings with you to fight, good mood to fight the autumn wind. You can't help it, you can only bear it silently, because if you also put out all your belongings to fight with the other party, not to mention whether you can just get it on the front, if you win in case you lose a lot, the other countries next to you who are already eyeing you are not rushing up, you still have to play GG.
And this time, the reason why King Uther had the courage to dare to show all his belongings was entirely because of Charles's plan, Charles's plan made him see the opportunity to trap the Saxons with a very small loss, even if the pit did not die, he could make the other party half dead, so King Uther would not say a word and suppressed the internal opposition with his strong courage, and took the soldiers of the whole country to gamble.
On the battlefield, this is the situation, only a few hundred people fell at one moment, and the next moment the same number fell under the enemy's weapons, and the soldiers who had just stabbed the enemy in front of them to the ground had no time to breathe, and were cut down by the enemy next to them.
Through the arduous training in the past few years, as well as the determination to die because of the fact that they were behind their homeland, the soldiers of Great Britain did not care whether they would become another corpse on the battlefield in the next second, they just followed behind the knights in front, and with the blood in their chests, they collided with the Saxons fiercely and fought together.
The Saxons were full of doubts at this time, they found that the Celts, who were originally weak enough to bully casually, were so strong at this time, obviously they had cut down the soldiers in front of them, but the other Celts behind them still rushed up and entangled with them without fear.
If it weren't for the confidence in the Celts' victory over the years, I don't know if Coles would have been able to restrain their people from collapsing.
When the Celts and Saxons were spilling blood on the battlefield, Charles and Merlin were standing far away on a small hill behind the battlefield at the moment, although Charles and Merlin's strength was not incapable of keeping their lives safe on the battlefield, but according to the rules of this era, they could not go to the battlefield, because if a magic went down, how many people would die, and it was likely that the opposite side would collapse directly.
Therefore, everyone agrees that people like magicians cannot go to the battlefield, they can only protect their masters, and they can only protect outside the battlefield, if their own king dies on the battlefield, then there is no way but to blame their own bad fate. This is just like the immortals in ancient Chinese legends, as outsiders are not allowed to interfere with the mortal world, or it can be compared to modern nuclear weapons, which can only be used as a deterrent weapon, after all, if everyone throws this thing, not to mention whether you can win or not, it is estimated that the people on your side will almost die if you win.
"Charles, the army led by the king has withstood the onslaught of the Saxons, and it seems that the training of the army in the past few years has not been wasted." Merlin was a little relieved when he saw that the British army had really completely resisted the first wave of Saxon charge, after all, even if he was a prophet, he couldn't know whether the kingdom's army, which had been beaten by the Saxons, could really withstand the Saxon charge head-on.
Don't look at the chaotic charge of the Saxons, but they can't stand the good physical fitness of the people, and under the tempering of the environment, they have a strong and strong capital, even if they rely on such a rush to the top and do not pay attention to the battle formation, they have already beaten both sides of the west coast of Europe.
Therefore, only after seeing with his own eyes that his army really completely withstood the Saxon charge, Merlin had a little confidence in his heart, as long as he withstood it now, then the next plan could be carried out without hindrance.
"Yes, Master Merlin, it seems that the army under the king is not useless, and it can still be called an elite soldier." Seeing the joy on Merlin's face, Charles didn't mind a few more words of praise to make the other party even happier.
"Then we can also let the cavalry charge on both flanks cut off the second wave of the Saxon charge, after all, we don't need to completely repel the Saxon invasion here, that would be too much of a loss." Merlin looked at the scorching battlefield below, and turned to look at Charles when he saw that the soldiers behind the Saxons who had not followed Coles had also begun to trot up and prepare to charge.
"Prophet Merlin, you give the order, I just put forward this plan, but it is still up to you to grasp the situation of the battle." Charles knows that he will accept it when he sees it, anyway, his position in King Uther's heart this time is unshakable, and the biggest credit must be his own.
"Charles, you are too modest, but so be it, send a signal to the knights on both flanks, so that they can charge, cut off the Saxon formation, and cover the retreat of the Chinese army." A man like Merlin would not have guessed Charles's thoughts, but wouldn't it be better for him to do this, so he turned his head and ordered the squire behind him to start ending the battle according to the plan.
The first step of their plan to extinguish the blood of the Saxons and blow their confidence has been completed, so why let the precious soldiers die on the battlefield again, it would be good to reduce some losses.
Charles didn't care about Merlin's regulation of the war, his mind was not at all on the exciting battlefield in front of him, he just looked down absentmindedly, and he was staring at the system news that kept coming to his head at this time.
"The host receives the sacrifice of the believer and gains 120 experience points."
"The host receives the sacrifice of the believer and gains 138 experience points."
"The host receives the sacrifice of the believer and gains 112 experience points."
"The host receives the sacrifice of the believer and gains 84 experience points."
“”
Of course, the source of these experiences did not really come from the sacrifice of Sam's group to themselves, after all, they were all fighting on the battlefield at this time, where would they have the time to perform sacrifices to themselves.
All this is because of the big axe that Charles casually threw to Sam last night, and what the devil has in his hand will really be an ordinary item, and Charles, as a new devil, will naturally not give up inheriting the fine tradition of his predecessors.
