Half a day later, the weather was cloudy on the northern coast of France. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A group of twelve King's Guards escorted the King of Dao to the assembly point on the north coast to board the ship, in an attempt to quickly cross the coast back to England. The small fishing village along the coast, which resembles a shanty town, is inhabited by a small number of numb Frenchmen.

These men did nothing but pay attention to the king's guards and the king, and did not even dare to make any noise or make any drastic movements to avoid being implicated, and were punished by these knights and even killed and killed.

In particular, one of the knights was found to have a pickled, bare human head hanging from the bell around his neck, which was hung by a rope net and vibrated with the hopping of the horse's hooves, constantly jumping and swaying on the reins of the horse's neck.

Nothing could be more intimidating than such a deterrent, and the fishermen turned a blind eye to the King's Guard, who soon passed through the dilapidated fishing village to the warship stranded on the beach, and the men in the boat hurried down to meet the King, who was wearing the crown and helmet.

"I've seen His Majesty!"

"I've seen His Majesty!"

His Majesty's chief of guard and the military attaché of the court showed their respect and respect to His Majesty, and His Majesty the Second King did not say much to them, and thirteen knights led the horses to the stranded ship, but the King turned back and asked, "How long will it be before the tide can set sail?" ”

The king's attendant military attaché and the captain of the palace guard beside him began to prepare for the voyage, and when they heard the king's inquiry, they immediately turned to him and said, "Your Majesty, the tide is about to rise, and we can set sail back." ”

When the king heard this, he didn't say anything, but his eyes were fixed on the French land behind him, and he looked in one direction in a daze, and the Earl of Nottington stood behind him and clearly saw where the king was looking.

The Earl of Nottington stood behind the King and asked, "Your Majesty, is it a little hasty for you to hand over all your troops to Baron Jean Reno?" Do you believe in his strength and the fame and ability that he has always had? Will he return to China according to the plan you have made? ”

The king looked into the distance in a daze, and after a while replied, "Robert Locksley, do you know where your greatest deficiency is?" You are a good executor and decision-maker for tactics, but you are still a little lacking in strategy and the big picture. ”

The King's answer to the question made the Earl of Nottington know that there was an implication in this. Hurriedly asked respectfully, "I would like to hear about it, my majesty the king." ”

The king enjoyed his obedience, and perhaps it was this characteristic of being super executive but lacking in strategic ability that the king really trusted him. The king smiled faintly and told him what he really thought, which he had never told anyone before.

"You don't know, Robert, that my return to my country is an embarrassment to both my identity and that of King John. On the one hand, he is my little brother regent at home, and on the other hand, I am the real king of the country, but I succeeded to the throne for three years. So he went out on a crusade for ten years before returning. A war for fame and fortune was fought for ten years, and it was a stain on my life. ”

The Earl of Nottington still somewhat understood what this matter had to do with handing over the army to Baron Renault to lead him back home, but she understood that the king was indeed in an awkward position at home, and King John naturally didn't want to give up his throne after ten years of regency.

"To put it mildly, His Majesty King John may not want Your Majesty to return to China, although this bald head didn't say anything, but I suspect that he may not be able to get rid of King John, it seems that His Majesty really needs to go back quickly." The Earl of Nottington said this according to his own understanding.

The king looked at the bald head hanging from the horse that was being led aside, turned back to the Earl of Nottington and smiled: "You think this matter is too simple, little John definitely doesn't want me to go back to me." Because I'm back home, what is he? I need a lone army to hang overseas now, that is my greatest dependence, the army at home will be under my control, but it will take time, and there will be a force outside me that will allow me to survive the interlude when I have just returned home. ”

The Earl of Nordington was lost in thought, and King Richard uttered the following words: "It is my sincere hope that he will not act according to the so-called plan we have drawn up, that his military skills will not be inferior to yours, and that it would be best if he could capture the capital of the Fortune Nation." ”

The water rises, the sky in the distance becomes blurred, and huge waves hit the sea. The tide is slowly rising......

In the dense forests along the northern coastline of France, the Crusader forces, which had always been huge, were marching, opening a forest path that did not yet exist, and the advance of the army was furious. This dense mountain forest is being destroyed, and even this high mountain forest cannot stop their speed.

A woodcutter was playing woodcutter in the mountains and forests, but he was directly in the way of the army to the next destination, Fort Ayr, Wang simply implemented a scorched earth policy for the management of the troops, and in order to increase the concealment of the troops, not only everyone encountered on the path was not allowed to stay, but even his origin had to be razed to the ground.

During the Third Crusade, although France was not large, it was also vast and sparsely populated. While this may seem like an easier way to be exposed, it's actually a quick and easy way to get discovered, and it's the least likely way to be detected.

With the means of communication at that time, I am afraid that it will only be a month or so before the French army will discover their marching route, and this method is the most useful way to secretly hide the good way to march, although this is cruel, but Wang Jian's brainwashing of the army is not comparable to Richard the Lionheart.

Along the way, the English longbowmen were the lead, and they killed and destroyed the village when they saw people, but these soldiers didn't feel that this was wrong at all, and Wang simply brainwashed them before the war like direct sales, so that these soldiers who were already subordinate to him were very obedient.

The march of the army was not slow, and there was no need for a recuperation, and in just two days it crossed the long coastline to the next castle, and on the way it met only three villages, and France was as few as most of Europe at this time.

The army did not encounter any decent resistance during the advance, except that in the second village he met the owner of the manor, a knight, who chose to surrender when he saw the endless army, trying to trade his status as a nobleman and ransom for his own freedom.

Unfortunately, he was not met by an army that adhered to the knightly system of good customs, and Wang Jian's greatest mercy to him was to give him a chance to die with dignity. The enemy had received no news as the army had advanced to the foot of the castle, and the gates of the castle were still open when the troops came out of the dense forest to the bottom of the hill on which the castle was located.
