Chapter 948： Beating James IV (Part 2)

Scotland has rugged terrain and most of its territory is plateau and mountain. Therefore, there is a very famous military group Scottish Highland Infantry in later generations.

Because of the mountainous terrain, strictly speaking, most of the citizens of Scotland belong to the mountain people and are more sturdy. Otherwise, the scale of Scotland ’s 500,000 population will not be able to withstand the attack of the English. The sturdy mountain people and the advantage of natural terrain are Scotland's biggest defense against the invasion of England.

However, in any case, the source of food is mainly plain. The plains in Scotland are mainly distributed in the southern coastal areas. For example, the Southern Plains near Edinburgh.

The Southern Plains is the most developed area of ​​Scottish agriculture and is also a densely populated area. As a king, James IV can easily collect enough Ding Zhuang on the plains to defend his own safety. Therefore, to the southern plains, it is equivalent to the real territory. Unlike the mountain roads that come along this road, except for a few small villages and towns along the way, most ghosts are not seen on the road. If someone is ambushed, it is estimated that no one will come to the rescue by breaking the throat.

And now in the Gobrich Valley, as long as you pass here, you are on the plain. More importantly, Edinburgh is here. Because it's just over 20 kilometers from Edinburgh ...

Just as James IV and his knights were looking forward to the wind banquet after returning home, in the Gobridge Valley, Kahn and his party were also making final preparations.

Kahn said to the side:

"Koster, are your people ready? Pedestrians detained before?"

"It's all killed!" Coster said blankly.

They only began to block the road this morning. At the same time they blocked the road, they also began to dig the horse trap. But the Gobrich Valley is the main transportation route to Edinburgh in the southern region. It is not only the team of James IV, but also the civilians of Scotland.

But today, Kahn and others want to attack King James IV of Scotland here, so naturally no passers-by will be allowed to leave. Therefore, starting from the road block in the morning, all passers-by were caught by the horse thieves under Koest and Maric, and concentrated together.

Originally, Kahn planned to let go of these people after things were over. But Koster believes that the killing of the king is too important, it is better not to keep these witnesses. So, after lunch, dozens of innocent passers-by were taken into the mountains by Koster ...

Kahn was silent for a while, and said nothing. Because, he also knows that Coster's approach is the most stable. After all, if those innocent passers-by who were caught leaked their important characteristics, the trouble would be even greater.

Moreover, after this incident, the 50 Spike Commando members brought by Kahn, and the hundreds of men brought by Koster, in addition to a few very reliable, others will move to the American colony with their families, Avoid accidentally revealing today's secrets.

As he said, one of Koster's men who couldn't wait and see with a telescope suddenly said:

"Head, the message tree is down!"

The message tree is naturally a means for the children's group in the Marinist War to disseminate messages. The children's group does not have a radio station and does not dare to yell at the news to avoid disturbing the devil. Therefore, pushing down a small tree on a hill in the distance is the safest way. If you are not familiar with this set of roads, you will not notice what is happening on the hill. Even if I saw a small tree falling, I didn't understand what it meant.

The ambush teams of Kahn and Koster mainly gathered at the northern end of the Gobrich Valley, while the team of James IV came from the southern end. People at the southern end have no time to notify the northern end, and pushing down the message tree on the top of the mountain is the best way to deliver the message.

Sure enough, James IV and his party were unaware of the fall of a small tree on a hill not far away. Of course, this hillhead is also some distance away from the team of James IV, probably like Huali. The spy who pushed the message tree over the hill also had a telescope in his hand. Beside Koster, there are people who use telescopes to look at the hills one kilometer south. Once the message tree falls, it means that the enemy is coming. And if it is only civilians, the message tree shakes a few times.

In fact, Kahn and Koster are most afraid that in front of the team of James IV, a civilian team will enter the valley first. At that time, the civilians triggered the trap, which easily caused the vigilance of James IV and his party.

In fact, there are indeed such a group of civilians. They were walking in front of James IV's group, but they were walking. After seeing the "powerful" team of James IV and 50 knights behind, they were all scared to stand on the edge of Taniguchi, daring not to move, and let James IV's team go first. You know, in ancient times, the road to grab the nobility may be beaten up. Moreover, there is nowhere to reason ...

In this way, James IV and his 50 knight guards swaggered into the Gobrich Valley ...

Later, the dozen civilians also entered the valley on foot ...

After a while, James IV ’s team had reached the northern end of the Gobrich Valley. Seeing that it was about to cross this road and enter the southern plains of Scotland, the leading ones were actually excited and inexplicable.

However, they did not notice the flat at the northern end of the Gobrich Valley, which seemed different ...

Of course it is different. Now the ground at the northern end of the Gobrich Valley is covered with horse pits. Moreover, the bottom of the horse pit is full of wooden pointed piles facing up ...

The few Scottish knights rushing ahead were not aware of it for a while, and one after another led the horse and fell into the trap. Then, in the horse pit, the screams of war horses and knights came out ...

"There are assassins! There are assassins! Protect your majesty!" The knight behind suddenly panicked. They strangled the horse, then turned their heads and surrounded the carriages of James IV in the middle in case of possible enemy crossbows.

The crossbows they were expecting appeared soon, but those crossbows were not shooting the carriage of James IV, but the war horses under the crotch of the knights. Of course, it also includes the horse that pulled James IV ...

Despite wearing horse armor, the cover of the horse armor is not complete. As long as you master the angle, you can still hurt the war horse. Then, more than a dozen knights lost their horses under the arrow rain ...

At this time, the old knight Jensen, who was in charge of the 50 knights, shouted decisively when he saw that the situation was not good:

"U-turn, we turn around, retreat!"

However, this is too late. Coster pushed down the message tree here, and the thieves at the southern end of the Gobrich Valley who received the message struggled to push the pile of stones that had been laid on the hillside. For a while, a large number of stones rolled down the hillside and quickly blocked the southern exit. Coincidentally, more than a dozen Scottish civilians who walked into the valley before were hit by a rock that fell down ...

At this time, Jensen saw that the retreat was blocked. As long as he sent several knights to dismount, under the arrow rain, he approached the trap. As a result, they collapsed on the road at the northern end of the valley, covered with horse-pits with wooden spikes. As long as you dare to head north, you will definitely not be able to avoid those trapped in horse pits ...

At this time, Kahn jumped out in time, loudly speaking in Edinburgh accented Scottish Gaelic:

"Oh! I opened this mountain, this tree was planted by me. If I want to go from now on, stay and buy money! If you don't give money, you don't have to kill it!"

Although Kahn wore full body plate armor, he wore a black coat outside, and he wore a hood on the helmet. Therefore, at this time, James IV and the knights under his command did not realize that Kahn was a knight in full plate armor. In their view, a robber with a bloated dress, a black hat and an iron rod in front of him jumped out ...

"Robbery?" James IV and his knights looked at each other so boldly that they jumped out and stopped dozens of knights ...

"No, there are archers on the hillside ..." James IV reacted.

However, even if there is an archer on the hillside, and the strong man in front of him, it is not enough to rob a team of forty or fifty plate armor knights. Although, several people from this team were planted in the horse trap.

But the next second, they understood the cave that jumped out of Kahn, and jumped out 50 black men with weapons such as hammers and tomahawks also covered the plate armor with black cloth ...

"It seems that the number is about the same as ours ..." Jason Knight said doubtfully.

However, the opponent is all infantry. And they are all cavalry ... this does not seem to be a level of confrontation ...

Even if the knights can't charge in the valley, but they have two-handed swords, they are not resisted by the 50 infantry in front ...

At this time, James IV opened the carriage window and asked nervously:

"How? Is it English?"

Jason shook his head and said:

"It doesn't seem to be, Your Majesty. The man speaks the authentic Edinburgh accented Scots, and the other party's weapons seem to be very complicated. Anyway, it should not be a knight ..."

The weapons of European knights are divided into horse battles and step battles. Horse battles are mainly lances and one-handed knight swords, while step battles are mainly two-handed swords and two-handed axes. Basically, knights rarely use non-influential two-handed hammers. Only the infantry or mixed army of knights will use the two-handed hammer, a weapon used by migrant workers.

"No!" Cavaliers Jensen suddenly changed his face after thinking about it. He said to James IV:

"Your Majesty, their weapons are too much for our plate armor!" Both the axe and the two-handed hammer are professional plate armour knights. If the other party has this kind of weapon ... the targeting is too strong ...

However, Jensen still doesn't think they will beat the group in front of them. So he confidently pulled out his brand new two-handed sword on his back and ordered:

"Thirty people, dismount, hack them with two-handed swords! The rest, continue to protect your majesty!"

Since the valley can't rush, he hasn't wrestled with the other horse. You should know that the knights are all from the family of knights. They are not only familiar with fighting immediately, fighting step by step, but also very proficient. Every knight is a master of fighting ...

However, as soon as the two sides touched, Jensen's heart became cold ...

That's right, their knights did learn martial arts from an early age, and their fighting ability is powerful. The soldiers on the other side seem to have no rules. However, the opponent's weapons restrained them! Moreover, the other party is wearing plate armor ...

It was not until the knights of the Scottish knights cut their opponents' swords with their hands and swords that the crisp sounds told them that their opponents were wearing plate armor ...

What is more sad is that among them, several knights have big swords with their hands, and after colliding with the opposing weapon, they broke ...

Then, the knights with broken weapons were swarmed up by a group of enemies, smashed with battle axes and hammers, and they were reimbursed in a moment ...

In this way, after a round of collision, 30 Scottish knights quickly disappeared. As for the opponent, only a few people were injured by the opponent's two-handed sword ... Mainly, he was cut in the arm and leg, causing a fracture. After all, the two-handed sword is not too light ...

Even the Jensen knight who took the lead in charge was also beaten by his strong brother Kahn, and his head was discounted with an iron rod.

At this time, Kahn's special practice stick technique hit the head ...

People wearing armor ~ www.novelhall.com ~ have the highest body protection. However, the neck and joints of the limbs are weak points. However, hitting those limbs and joints can fracture the other party at most, but it is not fatal. And hitting the neck and head directly ... that was terrible ...

Taking advantage of the victory, Kahn rushed towards the carriage of King James IV of Scotland with more than 40 wolf commando warriors who could fight, brandishing iron rods, tomahawks and warhammers ...

"I surrender! I surrender! I can give you a lot of money!" James IV yelled out of his head.

He had seen it. The horse opposite was fiercer than his knight. Seeing that he couldn't stop him, he decided to surrender decisively and live first before saying ...

However, Kahn and others did not listen. Kahn understood it. After all, he learned Scottish Gaelic for so long, but he would not betray Malin. The wolf commando fighters under Kahn are completely incomprehensible ...

"I can call you nobles, can the count be?" James IV shouted desperately, seeing his life was lost.

If you are a real Scot, you might be tempted. Cocaine did not waver and continued to rush forward. As for his men, they do n’t understand anyway ...

Then Kahn defeated the dozen Scottish knights guarding the carriage of James IV and dragged James IV out of the carriage ...

"I can really call you Earl ... don't kill me ... the Duke can too!"

However, Kahn threw down hard with an iron rod, and James IV, wearing a plate helmet, was broken in the neck, and he was so dead that he couldn't die anymore ...

After confirming the death of James IV, Kahn yelled in Scottish Gaelic:

"Withdraw, go back to Lord Earl!"

Then, with his men, he hurriedly evacuated the path into the mountains, and even the half-dead Scottish knights on the ground forgot to make up the knife ...
