Chapter 78

White Emperor salamander flag fell from mid air to the ground, followed by the rose cavalry heavily trampled it into the blood mud, in an instant, it was too dirty to see.

The rebels were dead for a moment, as if they had not yet realized what had happened.

Prince Will's head rolled to the ground on the pile of corpses. A rose rider shook his wrist and raised it high with a spear.

The remnant commander of the rebel army on the battlefield, a poor count, watched the cavalry come straight to him. Prince Will's head on the tip of his spear was dripping blood. The prince of the rebel army, who thought he was noble, had a last-minute panic on his face. Without hesitation, the count turned his horse and ran for his life.

The king put his sword in its sheath and took off his bow from behind with his backhand.

He drew the string with an arrow.

His ice blue eyes were like eagles catching prey, staring at the fleeing count. The next moment, he released his hand, and the iron arrow burst out of the air, whistling like a ghost.

The count heard the sharp whistling of the arrow, and a chill sprang up his spine. He subconsciously backhand to shield his back. When he just lifted the shield, the cold iron arrow went through the gap between his helmet and armor and penetrated the fine lock armor.

The count lowered his head slowly and saw the point of the arrow sticking out of his throat.

He made a strange sound of "Ho Ho" from his throat. He fell from the galloping horse and looked up.

The King hung his long bow back on his back, drew out his sword again, and pointed to the rebels who were in full rout and tried to escape: "kill

"Benevolence" is just a joke on the battlefield forever!

The flag is down, the general is dead, and the remnant of the rebels are in a rout. And waiting for them is like a bloody rebirth of the rose cavalry. The cavalry followed the king, flying like lightning, trampling on all the enemies who could not resist.

From the horizon in the distance came the sound of horse's hooves.

The king turned his horse's head and led his knights into a charge formation side by side.

Grundy heavy cavalry, here we are.

In the billowing smoke and dust, the black torrent poured from the other end of the earth. The shadows of these battlefields come ferociously, the ferocious spines on their armor are covered with broken blood, and the iron spears in their hands are dripping with thick blood. It's not hard to imagine that before that, the heavy cavalry of the gurendy carried out a one-sided massacre against the middle army of Legrand.

The king rode forward and stood in the front of the rose's steed.

He did not retreat, and took over the terrible momentum of the heavy cavalry of the gurendys.

A long hiss of the horse.

The horses in heavy armor stopped at the same time, and the heavy cavalry of gurendy suddenly changed from the flood to the sea.

In front of the heavy cavalry of the gurendys opposite stood their leader.

There was a confrontation between the two sides, and no one spoke.

The battlefield was so quiet at this moment that only the sound of blood dripping was left.

The head of hull narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at the Rangers opposite. The familiar flag of the king of blood was hunting in the cold wind. Holding high the royal flag is a group of knights whose armor is soaked with blood - they are the real rose cavalry. And it was the young king who led the cavalry.

"The rose family..."

Chief hull whispered to himself.

The warrior behind the head of hull felt his father, and his eyes seemed to be sharp again in an instant.

Before that, they led the heavy cavalry of gurendy, and without any effort, they tore up the huge number of middle army of Legrand, chased those fleeing guys and started the massacre. At that time, he also believed that after the death of the Duke of Buckingham, Legrand would never have a decent army.

But now it seems that is not the case.

Although the man who can really be named as a lion has fallen, the rose family has inherited the same blood as him.

The king looked at the still heavy cavalry of gurendy. He reached out and took the spear carrying Prince Will's head from the nearby knight. His wrist shook.

The head made a long arc in mid air and headed for the head of hull precisely.

The heavy cavalry behind the head of hull is rubbing against the armor, and wants to wave his gun forward. The head of hull reached out and restrained them.

The head, whose blood had completely coagulated, fell from the air and rolled on the ground. Finally, it stood firmly on the grass less than one meter in front of the leader of hull.

The leader of hull looked at the head of his employer and then looked up at the king opposite him.

The king had taken off some broken helmets. The silver hair of the rose family logo fell on the armor full of blood. There was no expression on the young face under the helmets. The wind slightly rolled his heavy cloak, and the blood was dripping down from the Cape of the cloak.

The king's pale face was splashed with red blood, and he was enveloped in a kind of fierce anger.

Separated by a swamp battlefield full of blood and mud, the two sides were at a distance.The head of hull narrowed his eyes slightly and burst out laughing like thunder: "Duke of Buckingham! What a Duke of Buckingham

He should have thought of it! If you see the big one in the picture of the lion, how can you be a weak one!

Hull's leader raised his gun to the king and the direction of the rose cavalry, then turned the horse's head: "go!"

At his command, the black Grundy cavalry bypassed the bloody battlefield and withdrew.

Seeing this scene, the knight holding the king's flag behind the king raised the flag high and roared: "for the glory of the rose!"

"For the glory of the rose!"

Everyone roared together, the voice was swept up by the wind, and the blood mixed everywhere spread far and far.

They won!

A faint cheering came from behind.

The samurai rode up to his father in front of him. He whispered to chief hull, "why didn't we fight just now?"

The young king and his knights were really powerful, not timid. But after a cruel battle, no matter the number or the energy, they will never be able to bear the second round of cruel fighting.

"Fight a fart." The leader of hull put his palm on his son's head. "The employers are dead. Who are you fighting for?"

The warrior bared his teeth and found himself asking a stupid question.

Chief hull withdrew his hand. He turned his head and looked at the direction of the battlefield: "new lion..."

There's always a chance to fight.

Thought chief hull, drawing back his eyes and driving the horse forward.

………………

The air was thick with a strange smell.

It's human blood, horse blood, burnt meat These odors are mixed together.

The young slave stood stupidly among the dead, holding the sword tightly in his hand. There was a long cut in his shoulder, and there was no more bleeding.

He crawled out of the body.

The heavy cavalry of gurendy killed almost all the reserve soldiers who had just become knights. At this time, there were not many people left on the battlefield.

In less than half a day, the adult men of the whole city of banks were buried in this land.

The scene of the heavy cavalry of gurendy still remained in front of his eyes. Where the armored monsters passed, there were only stumps and broken arms on the ground. By the time they left, there was only silence left on the grassland.

He staggered to his feet, trying to find other slaves he knew among the dead.

The corpse and the corpse were stacked together, and the broken limbs were frozen by the blood. He couldn't find anyone else.

At this moment, the sound of the horse's hooves sounded again.

The young slave seized the sword with his cold hand, and he turned.

The flag of the rose King spread out in the cold wind, and the king who put his sword on his shoulder came back with his cavalry in blood.

The king reined in the reins and looked at the whole battlefield of the Chinese army. The little rose cavalry that he had sent to command the reserve did not survive. The king saw a bloody flag lying askew not far away. Next to the flag, a knight in armor reached out and held the flagpole.

The Knights behind all took off their helmets and bowed their heads in silence.

Some of them closed their eyes and couldn't bear to look again.

The king did not close his eyes.

He looked quietly at the battlefield full of corpses. After a moment, he looked down at the young slave holding the sword. The king recognized him.

The young slave looked at the king motionlessly, neither kneeling nor speaking.

The king looked at him for a moment, reached out and ordered a knight to lead a war horse whose owner had died in the battle.

The horse stopped in front of the young slave, and the king threw a badge symbolizing the rose cavalry to the young slave.

He didn't speak any more. He turned his horse's head and led the team to the battlefield where the deputy general was.

Rose riders followed the king in silence, and no one looked at the motionless slave.

After a long time, the last Knight of the team heard the sound of horse hooves behind him. The knight turned and saw the young slave on his horse, with the rose badge on his chest.

The knight slowed down and waited for the new rose rider to come to his side.

The knight reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

………………

Heaven and earth are blood, heaven and earth are white.

After paying a heavy price, the battle of banks city won miraculously. With the victory comes heavy sorrow.

After the rebels retreated, the men of banks opened the gate and began to clean up the battlefield according to the king's order. All the bodies were gathered and burned. It's not that no one is against burning corpses, but when they get to the battlefield, they find that even if they don't burn corpses, they can't tell who their relatives are.

Before the battle, all the reserve soldiers are registered, and the names of all the victims will be officially entered into the death list of the rose cavalry, enjoying the same treatment as the royal soldiers after their sacrifice.The funeral will be held in seven days, and all the tombstones will stand on a hillside outside the city.

The cavalry rest, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up army, just deal with the arrow wound on the shoulder of the king rushed into the city of banks prison.

When they took over the left wing army, they captured a general of the rebel army.

The king specially left the general's life.

He wanted to know the details of the death of the Duke of Buckingham.

The author has something to say: because of the exam week, the update is not timely these days. We have been waiting for qwq. Note: for non military researchers, the rationality of all the battles in this paper is based on historical battles. The king's campaign mainly refers to the battle of creasy and the battle of wernay in the hundred year war between Britain and France, and also refers to the description of cavalry military operations in the knighthood.

On the basis of the above art processing.

In the last chapter, "Dagang" is pronounced Dao.

In the last chapter, it seems that a reader asked a question about the flag. Here is an explanation by quoting Ni Shiguang's "Research on medieval Chivalry" In the middle ages, many orders were issued by the military flag, which was used to start and stop the attack, as well as to camp. In the battle, knights fight around the flag, which becomes the soul symbol of the army. Therefore, holding and guarding the flag is a special task in the battle. Knights with high martial arts skills are responsible for it. In addition, there are those who use the horn to issue orders. Please refer to the Crusade and the British Army during Edward III. The trumpet mentioned in the article is the charge sign

in the battle, both sides will distinguish by badge and uniform, and the coat outside the armor mentioned in the article is used to distinguish. The long Bowman on the hillside under the command of the deputy general used nailing wooden piles and digging trenches as the military tactics of that era. This part mainly refers to the battle of keresi. The battle under the command of the gurendys and the king himself was mainly based on the battle of wernay. The battle of creasy and the battle of Wiener, which took place in 1346 and 1424 respectively, are two typical battles in the Anglo French war in which Britain won more with less.

By the way, here is a point of view: not later tactics are advanced.

Tactics should be adapted to the technical conditions, social productive forces, political system and cultural system at that time. To fight in an era, we must first adapt to the conditions of this era The later ones are not advanced. Whether they are advanced or not should be relative. No age is a real fool. As I explained earlier in the chapter of gunpowder research, it is not that people at that time did not want to use guns, but because the social production conditions at that time did not allow it.

A simple truth It should be the development concept of high school politics teaching, new things will become old things one day, but on the contrary, old things are also new things. In a particular historical era, it has its own choice.

To paraphrase a sentence: "putting aside social conditions to talk about advanced and backward are playing hooligans."
