Chapter 159: The King Arrives

The city of Paris has been immersed in a strange atmosphere in recent days, and the nobles who usually roam around seem to have disappeared in an instant, and there are no more knightly hunting regiments in fresh clothes and angry horses on the streets, as if the nobles have been restricted by some force, as if they have all disappeared.

Occasionally, this undisturbed life took place on the streets, but these people began to live no longer alive, the spring was long and full of life, and the inhabitants of the city of Paris slowly adapted to life without nobility, and everything seemed to become happier and more prosperous.

But the people in the city don't seem to have noticed that there has been no news and people from outside Paris for a long time, and the news and people in Paris can't be sent out at all, although the city gate is not closed, people can move around here, but the city is actually sealed, and no one or news can leave Paris to reach the nearest castle.

On this ordinary afternoon, the streets of Paris were still bustling with people, and a team of more than 30 horses came at the gate outside the civilian area, which did not attract the attention of the civilians who had entered and exited, but made all the soldiers who had recently changed their guard solemn.

Maybe the common people of Paris don't know what happened, but these soldiers are not ordinary people, they are the troops brought by the king, they know that this is King Richard's troops, and these knights are actually the first sentinels.

According to the established norms of a normal march, the king's army should have been only thirty kilometers away from the city of Paris at this moment. As soon as the army moves, the sentinels go first, this is the rule, the king is the person who abides by the rules of military affairs, and it will definitely not be wrong to say that the first sentry is thirty kilometers.

One of the guards on duty saw one of the sentries take out a royal flag and rush towards the city with a quick turn. It seems that he went to report the news of the king's arrival to the higher level, and the panicked look is funny to watch.

When the soldier passed the news layer by layer, Wang Jianjian, who was in the death retreat, still did not leave the pass, and the news was only transmitted to the guardian knight at the door of the dungeon in the church, and they were not able to let the news continue to pass inside.

As the knights who guarded Wang Jian's retreat, even if they were close to their masters, they didn't know what Wang Jian was doing? They just instinctively obeyed the order and never disturbed him in any way. This may be the duty of the guards.

Although it was not easy to inform the king of the Dao, this situation had been prepared in advance, and the head of the knight order led some knights to the place where the nobles were imprisoned to take them out, and went ten miles out of the city to meet the king. The vast majority of the knights and archers were left to guard the basement.

In fact, Wang Jianjian and Eddie felt it when the news spread outside the bunker, but at this time, Wang Jianjian was in the stable period after clearing the customs, and his strength seemed to have been bound by the critical value for a long time, and once the quantitative change became a qualitative change, his strength began to grow steadily.

Although this kind of growth is not worth mentioning for the upper limit of attributes that require a peak of 200 points, even if it rises so wildly, the various attributes have only risen to more than seventy. Although it has not stopped. But this growth is actually too slow.

The reason why Wang Jian didn't go out in person was not because he was reluctant to slow growth in this attribute, because he was once again sealed by the soil, the mud made of impurities mixed with sweat from his body, and he couldn't move again.

At this moment, the soil formed by impurities did not really dry up, and Wang Jian did not dare to really reconcile the soil on his body, because he did not know whether it was really suitable to forcibly complete the breakthrough at this moment, because he could only continue to sit here.

Although Eddie had never seen this situation, he would never dare to act rashly, so he had to stand aside and wait for Wang Jian to release himself before talking about anything else. The two men continued to wait in the bunker for the dirt to dry.

However, it was said that the nobles, escorted by these knights, came to the long pavilion ten miles outside the city to meet the king's procession. Such a level of greeting is indeed grand enough. Because neither in England nor France has there ever been such a large-scale welcome.

Such a greeting could not be obtained even when the Pope came to any royal city, and at this time, the members of the Seven Days Regiment forced these nobles to make such a low-profile greeting according to the king's simple request, which can be said to trample them into the dirt.

These great nobles were naturally extremely dissatisfied but did not dare to raise any dissatisfaction on their faces, although these people were dissatisfied, but when they really set up the long pavilion with the help of the auxiliaries and began to sit and wait, the front army of the army began to approach me.

These people saw with their own eyes a contingent of 5,000 armored knights led by a thousand knights and 3,000 horsemen who were more elite than the French army.

Seeing these knights close together from a distance, it was like a dark cloud sliding out of the dense forest. Soon shrouded towards the ten-mile long pavilion, and saw them start to slow down at a distance of five hundred meters from Changping, and stopped in a uniform fifty meters before reaching Changping.

The hearts of these great French nobles were broken, and they probably did not have the opportunity to witness the battles of the Third Crusade. Feel the exotic knights and archers led by Nasaladin, who have only seen hunting regiments of noble children, and there is no comparison with being an army.

Such troops shocked these fretting French rotten nobles who complained from the bottom of their hearts, they had not really seen the fighting division, and the feeling of sitting on a high platform and looking at the ant-like troops was different from sitting on a high platform and watching the enemy army rushing in front of them.

These people don't dare to say anything more anyway, they look very good. Not far in front of them, they tried their best to wipe the cold sweat to show their so-called elegance, maybe this is their last fig leaf.

The five thousand knights who began to take over the defense and were really ready for the defense, they only had to see these knights to understand that Paris was gone, and that the king of France had really changed hands. In any case, there is simply not a single force of five hundred knights that can be assembled near Paris, France.

What's more, it is a team of 5,000 knights like this, this kind of force cannot be resisted, if you don't want to die and want to let the family continue to develop steadily, compromise is inevitable. The great nobles began to think about what they had said under the new king of France, and how far the family would develop.

In a short time, the Chinese army surrounded by knights and infantry archers slowly appeared here, and people could see a man with the king's golden helmet holding a rod in the distance and walking at the forefront of the Chinese army.

And this person is undoubtedly His Majesty King Richard, England, and this army is the Chinese army brigade led by him, but this force does not seem to be particularly numerous. In general, it is not much different from the former army.

From this point of view, it is clear that King Richard left his troops in the rear, and she apparently took the advice of the old king's simple letter, and led 10,000 men first, and left the rest of the troops to the Earl of Nottington to lead the conquest of France.

Such a design was also affirmed by Richard the Lionheart. Wang Jian not only let him divide his troops into two ways to march quickly, but also thought of something else, that is, to imitate the original Romance of the Three Kingdoms Dong Zhuo's means of occupying the imperial capital, and after really occupying Paris, he used soldiers to repeatedly enter the city to exert psychological pressure to create a false appearance.

Now it seems that this excellent military commander deserves to be regarded as one of the greatest military strategists of medieval Europe, and his ability and heart are indeed worthy of the command master who can compete with the greatest military strategists in Europe. He really knows how to make good use of people and uses people without suspicion.

Richard's troops approached, and all the knights dismounted to pay their respects to her, and the great nobles of France were too afraid to sit down any longer and salute him, and they were indeed frightened, and they understood who was king.

Perhaps for them, the former king of France, Philip II, showed a great talent for political struggle in the party struggle to overthrow Champagne, and a certain talent for military command in the year before King Richard arrived at the beginning of the Third Crusade, but he was not as intimidating as the famous Lionheart.

also didn't care that the identity shown by the other party was the Grand Duke of Normandy of France, who had the competitiveness of the French throne, rather than the king of England, who did not have the right to inherit the throne of the French king, and knelt down to salute in the face of the king's etiquette.

Their prostrations pleased King Richard, and it was a sign that they were not only acknowledging his status as King of England, but also his rightful position as King of France. This is the psychological pressure that the power of the army brings to these people.

This is also the reason why King Richard trusted and relied on his army the most, and his many years of military service taught him an intuitive and realistic problem, that is, the reliability of the army and the strength of the army to deter the enemy.

"Get up! Flatten, my friends! You are all decent nobles, you don't have to fall to your knees like commoners to meet me, get up! ”

Richard the Lionheart rode his own warhorse and looked down at these people of his own rank in France, and remembered the exclusion of them ten years after he had not yet succeeded to the English throne.

At this moment, looking at the dukes and counts who were kneeling on the ground, their hearts were particularly happy, and before they could really get up, they rode past them with the reins, and stepped on the red velvet carpet that spread ten miles and marched towards Paris.

Just this free and easy is heartbreaking, and the arrogance of this joy of glimpsing success on the outside is also convincing. This is the momentum and ability that a king should have, which is intimidating and does not dare to be bored, and half of mercy is the mercy of the saints.

The King's Guard had all gone away, and these had been remembered after the King had ordered the flattening. But the great nobles who were so frightened by the king that they knelt on the ground that they stood up and looked at each other, but there seemed to be nothing else but embarrassment in their eyes, and they did not dare to have anything else.

The ten-mile pavilion was covered with blood-red velvet carpet, which was originally used by Philip II to decorate the capital of Paris with all the strength of the whole country, and all of them were simply deducted by the king to distinguish them from the Knights Templar's white ground and red cross, and the new smocks of all the guardian knights were specially made on the ground, and the floor was left after three sets of smocks for one person.

The king rode forward as he watched the red knights on the red carpet and the red carpet on the ground. The corners of his mouth could not help but feel heartfelt warmth and heartfelt joy for Wang's simple contempt for the church and respect for himself, which was similar to his own army.

The king's horse team surrounded by the king's guards finally threw away those embarrassing stiff French nobles who stood on the spot came to the gate on the outer wall of Paris, looking at the knights standing around, but did not find Wang Jian's figure.

Although Wang Jian's non-appearance had long been in his prediction, this was also planned by the two of them before, Wang Jian's identity was an envoy of the British king, and the overall situation had been decided when the British king entered Paris, and Wang Jian's identity was only a cardinal archbishop who wanted to be crowned the new French king.

At this time, the troops on the city wall had already been occupied by the king's former army, and the king's simple troops silently exchanged guards with the king's former army and knights, and then went to the ten-mile pavilion to meet King Richard, and the group of cardinal knights and archers disappeared at the head of the city as if they had never appeared.

The king was still a little disappointed that the king had not appeared, but even this could not dilute his excitement about the easy arrival of the French throne, and King Richard excitedly waved the royal flag in his hand, waving like the bustling Parisians on both sides of the road.

The citizens of Paris looked at his crown and flag for unknown reasons and cheered at him, even if it was the flag of the King of England. Perhaps this is why the king simply advised him not to take the flag of the Duke of Normandy, there is no shortage of dukes in France, but the king is a status symbol.

The king rode his horse into the inner city of Paris under the watchful eye of the citizens of Paris, and then ordered his men to re-imprison the French nobles, wait for the canonization ceremony, which was originally planned to take place five days later, and arrange for his men to receive the envoys from all over the world.

The king's guard busied, and the king began to visit the inner castle, which he had only entered nearly twenty years earlier when he had sworn allegiance to Philip II's father, Louis VII, but this time as a master.

However, the king did not find any of the daughters of his enemy Philip II, who had been driven to a palace by the king.
