Chapter 659: The third battle begins

For the remainder of this Black Friday night, the Normans were praying, and the English were fighting for the homeland. In order to restore the morale impact of the failure of the night attack, King Harold of England made the soldiers crazy to drink all night. liqueur.

Harold understands that victory in this battle will increase his prestige, and failure means the destruction of Anglo-Saxon England, and he will certainly die.

At the same time, William, who had been camped in Black Stings for many days, was fully rested and prepared. He took soldiers to pray in the Holy Banner given to him by the Holy See until early morning. "May today, the Lord will grant the most sacred power to guide Norman People defeat evil and bring permanent peace to this land. "

Victory will make him the richest man in Europe and the most powerful leader. Under the witness of the Lord, a duke becomes a king.

In 1066, the last of the three battles in England, and the biggest battle of Hastings, was on the verge of being triggered.

At eight o'clock in the morning on October 14, the Norman Scouts discovered that Harold's army had come out of the woods where they were stationed.

William, Duke of Normandy, thought that after a long wait, he could finally fight Harold—but while in armour, the illegitimate granddad was annoyed to find that the chain mail he had just put on was reversed.

William found that the faces of the surrounding vassals once again showed an expression of concern about this unknown omen. The Duke of Normandy had experienced various unfortunate and embarrassing events in this battle. Before crossing the English Channel, he encountered an unusually long north. The wind, the risk of forcing the sea when it was originally calm and the sea suddenly raised a huge and fatal storm. More than 300 ships were lost. As soon as I landed in England, I stumbled and fell into a dog biting mud, and now his chain mail It was reversed again, the back neck of the chain armor tightened William's throat tightly and made him look funny.

Such unpredictable signs will certainly make people in Normandy uneasy, but William, who has become accustomed to dealing with this kind of thing, ignores the fear of his men and the kind of eyes that seem to look like intellectual disability, and starts pretending to relax around the surroundings. The vassal laughed haha-either it really eased the tension of his men, or William's men only gave him a step under his lord's meaning at this time, in short, the atmosphere was at least The awkward and polite laughter from the Norman army eased.

Upon seeing this, William turned his horse cleanly and began to do the final motivation for his troops: "Great Norman! Great Brittany! Great Burgundian! Every believer in the Lord! Today I will lead you to fight under the banner of the Lord! I will lead you to victory again! "

As soon as they arrived on the battlefield, it was clear that the Normans were still full of confidence in their leaders, and their lineup followed an outcry that roared with William's speech.

Harold, who walked out of the forest with his troops, did not panic when he saw the Norman army in the distance. He already knew the situation from the soldiers who knew the local terrain. He took the troops. Quickly occupying a hill that was stared before the battle, they built a windproof shield wall on the **** as usual.

This was the declaration of the war of King Harold of England against William the Duke of Normandy, and the beginning of the battle was declared by occupying the highlands.

The front of the battle between the two sides, the Norman troops gathered under the mountain, they have three thousand cavalry and far more than the crossbow troops in England. The English people proudly raised their shields and stood on the hillside to occupy the ground, and under the hillside was just a damp swamp. If the Normans want to attack them at close range, they must first cross the swamp and then climb On the slope, the English clearly apparently intended to garrison here and did not mean to leave. They just provoked the shield against the Normans with their own percussion on the hillside.

Down the hill, the archers took the lead to line up neatly, with the Norman infantry holding shields and swords in the middle, and the Norman knights who made the European continent frightened were put at the end.

Duke William frowned and shook his head, pursed his lips, and his face was firm: "The British own the hillside, and Lao Tzu owns the Lord."

Behind this hill called Senlak, there is the reward of the Normans, that is the fertile land of England.

The Normans sang a neat song, which was the epic song of the French heroic Roland. They were astonishing. The English militiamen were a little nervous and calm in this situation.

Odgar, one of the king's guards, took off his helmet and waved in the air. He solemnly swore to the troops he said: "I swore before the line ..."

Under the leadership of Odgar, the morale of the English soldiers was mobilized, and all the English militia took the oath spontaneously with him. They neatly read the Anglo-Saxon Meade oath-that is, before the war The oath was made in response to the Norman song of Roland: "I will fight for my king, Ma Ge shroud, if my king or master died, I will imitate them and continue to fight, if someone sees me greedy and afraid of death , To escape, he should wake me up with the oath I made in front of the clan ... "

The pot-head knight Modred under the mountain, looking at the solemnly sworn English man on the mountain, smiled cruelly and playfully, the expression was like a beast about to pounce on the prey that was hard to escape, and then he was jealous again A glance at the red-haired knight not far away, he was appreciated by Duke William after this reconnaissance operation, the Duke of Normandy let him lead a unit in this battle, and he can only serve as his deputy- — Modred did not rashly announce the matter to William in this case. He intended to use the enemy ’s private information as a means of threatening him.

After the other Englishman took the oath, the generals of Ivotel Buddha commanded loudly to the troops they led: "Archer ... prepare!"

With their orders, all the archers filled their bows and faced the Englishmen on the hill.

The arrows flew like rain, and the jingle shot towards the English camp, and they inserted on the shields they had lifted, making a fierce metal crash. But there were still a few English militiamen who were too unlucky to hit their arrows and fell to the ground and rolled off the hillside. The Normans under the mountain apparently did not give them a chance to ease their recovery, and Ayutler Fo had ordered the archers to launch a second round of shooting.

The arrows hit the shield like a hailstorm. Although there were militiamen in England who fell their arrows and some of the English long-range troops were not enough to effectively fight back against the Normans, the shield wall was solid. The team's addition appeared unscathed.

The Normans could not drive the English down the hill. Now it ’s the turn to give the Normans the greatest honor, and the ultimate weapon that the Normans ’enemies feared the most. The Normans came to transport them A huge price was paid at sea.

The horses were lined up in a row, and the knights on their bodies were armed with spears. When Ai Utrecht raised his arms again, he ordered: "Cavalry, charge!" These knights raised their spears and launched to the Englishmen on the hill. Shock, and the galloping momentum of such horses obviously made the English militiamen not less agitated.

"They're here!" Tofe couldn't help but took two steps back, his lips pale with fright, obviously there were not many English people like him. The English militias held up their shields and wanted to resist the trampling of this hoof. The Norman spears, who were riding on the ground immediately, pierced their bodies fiercely through the gap between the shields.

The militias in England screamed in horror. The wounded militias were crawling on the ground, trying to escape this **** on earth.

However, with the hard work of the English and the help of the terrain, some Norman cavalry who did not fully mention the speed were immediately stabbed by their spears and fell off the horse.

Beside the battlefield, Allen and Merlin sat on a huge beam, which was found under the old apple tree that Allen purposely found based on the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles. This position allows them to be comprehensive Observed the scene of the battlefield.

Allen cast a Muggle expulsion spell around them ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Even if a soldier accidentally passed their area, he suddenly thought he had deviated from the direction of the attack ordered by the general and immediately moved away from here.

Looking at the battle in front of him, Alan, who was not the first experience, could not help but sigh. Although the lethality of the cold weapon era is not as fast as the modern hot weapons, and the lethality is huge, it is always in the horn. The excitement and fear followed with such **** cruelty.

Nevertheless, his staff was not idle.

Sitting on the side, Merlin watched the war in front of him and tried to find his acquaintances. He kept stuffing Hufflepuff ’s pudding in Allen ’s pockets and swallowed it. He grabbed another piece of spicy roasted venison, biting it up—for a medieval boy whose adoptive father was just a farmer, even this glorious future would not let him Before having the opportunity to taste these foods that he had never heard of, and being buried under the rubble for a long time without eating, he now completely let go of the appetite brought to him by the blood of the bottomless abyss in his blood.

Alan glanced quietly at his slightly shy belly, and suddenly thought of the sentence that everyone often sighed: "Oh, Merlin's fattest briefs!" Alan still can't see it now, but if it is like this The interjection did not seem to be groundless when I ate it.
