Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Title Orz

Soon, the French infantry was on the bridge and engaged the Saxons at the front.

But obviously, neither side is trying their best, just putting on a show. As the French army advanced, the Saxons pretended to be irresistible and slowly withdrew to the rear.

"Why, Wang, is it that the river is not as much as it used to be?" said an official next to Crotair, puzzled.

"Well, it's fine, but they're still over 10,000 people on the bridge, what are you worried about?" said Clotaire with a nonchalant smile.

"Maybe I'm overthinking. The official said respectfully.

"By the way, have our spies spotted any suspicious behavior in Britain these days?" asked Clotaire suddenly.

"Well, it seems that they cut down a lot of trees the other day. ”

"Do you know their purpose?"

"They did a good job of secrecy, and the ministers were derelict in their duties and did not know their purpose. The official said to Crotaire with a look of shame.

"Forget it, I don't believe they have any ability to stop my army of 150,000. Crotaire looked at his army and said with a confident smile.

Soon, the Saxon captives slowly retreated to where the British army had stayed, and successfully proceeded according to their plan, and the British army began to slowly advance in the rear of the Saxons.

However, this made the Saxons suffer, after all, this bridge, which was only about ten meters wide, blocked the road in front, and the British army did not need to come forward at all, only to squeeze them in the rear, which could put them in a dilemma.

In desperation, the Saxons had no choice but to fight with the French army, and then wait for the French army to slowly retreat.

It's just that things seem to be going in other directions. Because you and I slashed at once, but many people on both sides died. This also leads to the friends and relatives of those who have died with red eyes, and then they are hacked to death by their relatives, and it is like a cycle, ring after ring, and the cycle goes on and on until the last person remains.

"Let's go, we can't let their fleet come, otherwise the 100,000 cavalry over there will come ashore, and we won't be able to stop the existence of 100,000 cavalry." Leah said, looking at Soler.

"Yes. ”

Soon, the fleets of the two sides met in the river, but there was no bloody battle as expected, when the two fleets were still a hundred meters, the British fleet suddenly stopped, just when the other party was puzzled, but found that suddenly from the opponent's fleet, a large number of dense arrows flew out.

Moreover, these arrows still carried flames on their heads, and such a scene was like the fire of extinction, mercilessly falling into the river of the French fleet.

It brought up the neighing of the horses because they were frightened, the shouts of the French soldiers, and the shouts of the generals.

100,000 cavalry, on the plains, is definitely a nightmare for the enemy, but in this kind of river crossing battle, it does not play a decisive role at all.

The rickety hull of the ship made it impossible for the cavalry to fight on horseback, and for those of them who have been fighting on horses since childhood, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Crotaire must have some infantry in these fleets to avoid any accidents.

Immediately after a round of arrows had fallen down, the British army turned around and left the French fleet far away.

Seeing this scene, Crotaire was not only not angry, but relieved. Looking at the situation, he knew that Britain did not have the strength to fight hard with him, otherwise it would not have fought this kind of guerrilla war like this.

And in this way, he doesn't have to worry about the danger of his cavalry, after all, if the other party is very strong, then his cavalry is in a very dangerous situation now, and it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out if he is not careful. After all, now is in the scene where they are least suitable for fighting, and the discount in combat effectiveness is too great.

Moreover, he has always been very concerned about what the official said just now. Although he is arrogant and arrogant, he is not a fool. Now after seeing this situation, he knows that his worries are unnecessary, after all, if the levee bursts, these people will not be able to escape, will they still choose to die together?

Thinking of this, Clotaire instructed his officials: "Pass the order, don't pursue, go to the other side of the river first, let the cavalry frighten the shore, and then I will run?"

"Yes. ”

Seeing that the other party did not pursue them, Soler moved towards the shore, silently calculated the distance, and then said to the people behind: "Add another fire." Bring them here. ”

"Yes. An officer immediately answered.

Then a voice sounded in the British flotilla: "All the troops ready, southwest, throw." ”

As the words fell, arrows that were thicker than the last time were thrown towards the other party, covering a wide range that enveloped most of the French fleet.

Whoosh

The flaming arrows were mercilessly nailed to the plank of the ship, piercing through the soldiers' bodies, and the scene was chaotic in an instant.

"Don't mess around, these fires can't be burned. Seeing such a scene, the leading officer shouted loudly.

Sure enough, although the arrows seemed to be menacing, the impact was not great. The whole body of these ships has been soaked in water, and without the help of oil, they cannot burn at all, and even the slightest flame is immediately extinguished by the people around them.

It didn't take long for the French to calm down, but they were burning with rage, and they looked in the direction of the British fleet with red eyes.

"Leave them alone, His Majesty's order is to land first, don't worry, there will be more opportunities for you to take revenge in the future. Seeing that the army was a little out of control, the officer hurriedly shouted. Otherwise, if His Majesty's order is delayed, not only will his future be in jeopardy, but I am afraid that his life will be over.

Hearing the shouts of the officers, although they were unwilling, they were helpless, after all, soldiers must obey orders, not to mention the current monarchy centralized system.

Seeing France's actions, Soler had no choice but to go and fight hard, but was called back by Leah.

"What should we do, king? They seem to have made up their minds to go ashore first. When Soler heard Leah's call, he had to release another round of arrows, dragging France at his feet, and then went ashore to look at Leah and asked anxiously.

"When the time came, I thought it would take a little effort to build on the Teddington Bridge, but I didn't expect it to go so well. We really want to thank them this time," Leah said, pointing to the Teddington Bridge and chuckling.
