Gate of Revelation Chapter 242: [Decisive battle in Japan! ] (Long
(2 in 1 long chapter)
Chapter two hundred and forty-two [decisive battle in Japan! 】
Becoming a centurion has brought a lot of preferential treatment to Chen Xiaolian-of course, only relative to this era.
That head was chosen by Chen Xiaolian to become his own servant—a knight's servant but a position that many people envy.
Looking at the hundred soldiers wearing Norman army equipment standing in front of him, Chen Xiaolian was quite content with himself-but this contentment dissipated a lot after seeing these guys slackening in line.
From the evening of the same day, Chen Xiaolian and the tire spare tire were split into two classes to secretly supervise the movement of King William ’s coach.
To be precise, it is protection in secret.
King William seems to be a very good military commander of this age-the same for later generations.
Chen Xiaolian participated in a military meeting with spare tires the next day.
In this kind of medieval army, the chaotic military meetings completely destroyed Chen Xiaolian's romantic illusions from fantasy novels such as "Knight", "Medieval War", and "Cavalry Regiment".
It's almost like a group of soil crickets clamoring!
Comparedly, the Taylor Buddha knight who can chant a few verses is more like a nobleman.
The real nobles, Chen Xiaolian saw a noble general from the Brittany Legion in France ... This guy has a strong stench, but he doesn't know how much incense is used.
Chen Xiaolian unfortunately stood next to him, almost not smoked to death.
And this guy also likes waving his arms to make some inexplicable speeches.
Basically, the morning ’s military discussion, the theme of everyone ’s chat can be summarized as:
After the victory of the war, how can we seal off the land of England!
This is an eye-opener for Chen Xiaolian!
Although they did win this battle in history ...
But at this moment, before the decisive battle has begun, everyone will begin to flex their muscles, even if you are arguing in the big account, and you will almost have to fight for a piece of land that may not belong to you.
This is King William ’s army who has won the battle of Hastings in history? !!
If this group of guys is stupid.
Chen Xiaolian even doubted that King Harold of London ... What would it be stupid to lose to such a group of people? !!
King William has been sitting there and it doesn't make much sense, but only when several aristocrats were about to pull their punches, they came forward to suppress it with his authority.
It was Merlin who did not speak very much at the meeting.
Mr. Chen Xiaolian noticed that Merlin's position is close to King William's lower position-it is clear from this position that Merlin is the core confidante of King William!
To Chen Xiaolian's surprise, the Taylor Buddha, who has been criticized for being good at making flattery, is also in a forward position.
In addition, King William's confidant also includes his two brothers, Oder, and a guy named Robert.
These two are King William's brothers ... and still have no high status ... but once King William became the king of England, their status would naturally rise, and most of them would become dukes or higher.
Chen Xiaolian's evaluation of these two people is ... sturdy and brave!
These two seem to be typical French knights, and they are quite good at riding guns.
Silent.
Chen Xiaolian inquired after the military discussion. Basically, the backbone of King William's Norman Legion was controlled by his two brothers.
This does not seem to be much different from the world of the Eastern Dynasty.
The royal family seems to be one of the traditions of the European dynasty.
But Chen Xiaolian also noticed a detail.
The two brothers of King William, and Taylor Buddha, are still talking and laughing, but when facing Merlin, there is basically no communication.
Actually ... all the generals in the entire account seem to be aloof from Merlin, and even ... Some people show a hint of rejection or even ... aversion, or fear?
This is weird.
And the big head played a role at this time.
As an old churros who have been in the Norman Army for a long time, and joined the mercenary army when they started in France, it seems that the brain knows many allusions in the army.
"Many of us don't like that Merlin. Because ... he's a weird guy."
Chen Xiaolian is a little curious: "Why?"
"Because ..." The look of his head seemed a little scared, and he looked around, as if he was afraid of being overheard, and then lowered his voice: "Because ... everyone has said that this Merlin is a wizard ! "
Wizard?
In medieval Europe, wasn't that what a magician meant.
Chen Xiaolian is interested.
Merlin ... Magic!
It fits the name's own attributes.
The name Merlin ... seems to be a magician! If he wasn't, that would be strange.
"Wizard?" Chen Xiaolian thought for a while and asked, "Is there any concrete evidence? Has anyone seen him perform magic?"
"Uh ..." His head was uncomfortable.
After all, he is just a little man. Before following Chen Xiaolian, he could only confuse in the mercenary team, and even the station of the Norman Army could not enter.
Even Merlin himself, he only saw it a few times in the distance. It was close to Meilin, thanks to being a knight-assistant to Chen Xiaolian.
But this guy still provided some interesting news.
"Merlin's nickname is ... from a strange man in the forest." The complexion on his head, and the tone of expression at the moment ... reminded Chen Xiaolian of the movie "Harry Potter" he'd seen.
Well, those guys in the movie, when they mentioned Voldemort, they were such awesome faces.
"This guy, no one knows where he comes from. He only knows that he came out of the forest before following King William, maybe a savage.
But the legend is that he can be transformed into a beast, and then talk to the animals, using the language of the animals! He can also talk to the big tree, let the trees and animals help him to pass on the message.
The scariest thing is that he will curse! Legend has it that anyone who offends him will be cursed by him and not die!
And ... he knows prophecy! !! He can predict the death of others ...
Anyone who knows is a prophecy or a curse! "
Chen Xiaolian smiled: "Is there any evidence?"
"Uh ..." My head thought for a moment: "When we were in Normandy, we were waiting to cross the sea. The pirates from Sicily had already prepared the ship, but Merlin convinced King William to stop crossing the sea.
And two days later, a storm hit us!
That storm lasted a month! !! "
Chen Xiaolian smiled: "Isn't this a good thing? If he didn't stop you ... you would have been buried under the sea."
"What the **** ... weren't you in the army at the time?" his head wondered.
Chen Xiaolian coughed twice and stared, "Don't talk nonsense! Then?"
"Uh ... then ... then, he predicted exactly when the storm will end." His head shook his head and said, "There are rumors in the army that the storm was not what Merlin had predicted ... but he used witches. Made by surgery! "
Stuck, and his head said, "Anyway, the old saying is good, wizards always bring bad luck!"
Chen Xiaolian is speechless.
This doesn't seem to indicate that Merlin is a magician ...
It can accurately predict the coming of the storm ... This kind of thing is not magic.
Just familiar with climate knowledge.
...
Regarding whether Meilin is a magician ... Whether it is magic or not, Chen Xiaolian also discussed with the spare tire.
The three have different speculations.
In fact, the three have been fighting alongside Merlin.
In that ambush, Merlin also fought and killed himself ... he acted more like a general than a magician or wizard.
If he is a magician, how can he face the heavy rain road and be helpless?
While the guide is in the wrong direction, why don't you get a magic teleporter to teleport people directly?
Uh ... well. Chen Xiaolian feels that he is mostly a professional ill as a writer.
However, the generals in the army are unwilling to deal with Merlin, but it is true.
Furthermore, I heard that Merlin herself has no attendants!
He says he doesn't need attendants, and generally doesn't like people entering his tent.
Maybe ... because he has some secrets of his own, so it is inconvenient to be known?
Chen Xiaolian remembered that he saw Mei Lin for the first time and entered his tent. This man was clearly in front of him, but seemed to ignore his eyes because of some strange power.
This is weird.
"I hope he is a magician." The attitude of the tire is clear: "He is our side. The stronger his comrades are, the easier this battle will be."
Chen Xiaolian and spare tire agree.
Another problem is ...
In the enemy camp ... are there any other game participants!
At least, it hasn't appeared so far.
Not encountered during the ambush.
The opponent did not use a similar decapitation tactic to assassinate King William.
This surprised Chen Xiaolian.
In the late afternoon, Chen Xiaolian suddenly heard a screaming bugle from outside the tent!
He immediately rushed out with the spare tire.
I saw a lot of soldiers running fast in Muzhai, and a team of archers rushed out and moved closer to the Muzhai wall!
"What happened?" Chen Xiaolian saw Taylor Buddha running over, this guy ran and inserted his sword into the scabbard.
"London! The Londoner's army has arrived !!!" Taylor Buddha glanced at Chen Xiaolian and ran forward.
Chen Xiaolian and spare tires followed immediately ...
...
London is here.
In fact, when they arrived around Hastings, they were discovered by the French Rangers of the Norman Legion.
After a small battle between the outpost and the Rangers, the Norman Army took advantage and then retreated decisively to send the letter.
The wooden cottage of the King William's army was built on a hillside on the small plain of Hastings.
The army brought by Harold chose a hill nearby as the camp.
The terrain of that hill is pretty good and easy to defend. King William also considered where to build the camp.
But because of the large number of cavalry in King William ’s army, he abandoned the hill and chose a more open plain.
...
Chen Xiaolian and the crowd crowded in front of the Muzhai, across the high wooden fence, watching the hills in the distance, a team of London troops appeared on top ... They arrived from the back.
After occupying Gao Gang, the formation quickly opened.
The black queue is very dense, and a huge shield is erected on one side, the iconic cross badge shield.
And one of them, Wang Qi, was picked out!
On the high post, the Londoners began to cheer.
"That's King Harold ... Ah, I'm talking about a pseudo-king." It was his head that followed Chen Xiaolian. This guy got to Chen Xiaolian's side, and squeezed out a gap, and went out curiously. Wait and see: "That is the banner of the false king! He has arrived on the battlefield in person!"
Looking at the cheering of the London army on Gao Gang, the voice came from far away.
There are also some guys who are seen as the peasant army. They lined up to the forefront of the front, turned around collectively, and then some people took off their pants, exposing Bai Huahua's ass, facing the direction of Muzhai.
This shameful move immediately caused the anger of the Norman Army soldiers after Muzhai.
Some people raised their swords and axes and roared loudly, all kinds of curses mixed with French one after another.
Chen Xiaolian was not disturbed by these voices. He carefully observed Harold's army!
...
Harold's army looks very large.
Like most army in this era, there are not many regular professional soldiers.
Most of them are recruited peasant army, a group of black people, the weapons in their hands are very complicated, simple to wear, and most people wear robes without armor.
The regular army is at the forefront of the array.
That's rows of shield walls. Obviously the formation is relatively dense and rigorous.
"These should be Harold's king." Chen Xiaolian whispered.
"Yes!"
A voice came from behind Chen Xiaolian.
Chen Xiaolian turned back and saw Mei Lin's cold face.
No one beside Mei Lin walked to Chen Xiaolian's side, looked at him, and stood next to him-his head was so familiar that he stepped aside immediately.
"Harold's King Guard ... He has two legions, the 'Dragon Banner Corps', and the 'Brawler Legion'. This is Harold's most elite force. In addition, his army is composed, There are also private forces with local nobility, and some civilians composed of free people. "Mei Lin quickly said:" Those people are not worried. We only need to defeat Harold's king and put his 'Dragon' "Banner Legion" and the "Fighter Legion" will be killed, and we will win this battle.
Harold's rule is not stable! If he loses his cleverness, other nobles may not continue to submit to his rule ... and our opportunity is here! "
Chen Xiaolian suddenly froze.
He found an interesting detail!
Listening to Merlin, it seems ... he doesn't think that the war here can completely solve Harold.
He seems to hear what he means ... as long as Harold's slain army can be destroyed or destroyed in the next war.
Then ... the purpose of this battle was achieved.
Harold lost his relationship and was unable to continue to rule other nobles.
At that time ... King William seemed to be slowly eating away at each other's kingdom.
As if ... this is a long-term plan!
But ... history is not like that! !!
...
Chen Xiaolian's mind quickly turned around and realized that the problem was.
In history, this battle was the largest and final battle of King William's invasion of England!
After this battle, King William entered London with almost no resistance!
Because of history ...
In the battle of Hastings ... King Harold was killed on the battlefield!
This is a very rare event with a small probability!
In fact, in the wars in European history, wars between nations, very few kings died on the battlefield!
At this moment, even the ambitious King William himself has never thought of killing Harold directly on the battlefield!
Because at the moment, the comparison of the strength of the two sides is actually not much different.
Harold's army is about eight thousand.
And the strength of King William ... is almost the same as the opponent!
And King William is still a guest!
The troops are equal, and the opponent is home.
King William would never even think that he could kill Harold directly on the battlefield.
His most optimistic expectation was: To defeat Harold's army, it is best to damage Harold's line, and then shake the opponent's dominance.
Then, he slowly swallowed each other's land slowly.
This is King William's normal plan!
...
"The battle of Hastings ... Harold died and King William entered London with almost no resistance ... this was actually ... an accident!"
Chen Xiaolian suddenly realized this key point! !!
So ...
Throne battle ...
If you want to contribute to the battle of Hastings, you will achieve the same brilliant victory as in history.
Then ... the point is ...
Kill Harold on the battlefield! !!
Otherwise ... I'm afraid the situation will develop in an unknown direction! !!
Harold is home after all!
He is the current King of England.
If he doesn't die, let him return to London ... with London's sturdy defenses ... the King William's French cavalry may not be able to attack it!
The cavalry is not good at siege, which is known all over the world.
Also, Harold has a natural advantage, he is now King!
He lost his army. If he calms down, he can calmly continue to recruit and mobilize more troops!
William is different. He is a guest!
One less army dies! Can't get added!
Chen Xiaolian immediately told the tyres and spare tyres using the team channel.
The eyes of the two are also stunned!
Accurately kill the opponent ’s highest commander and opponent ’s king on the battlefield of close to 20,000 melees! !!
This ...
This task does not seem difficult! !!
Also, there is a great possibility that King Harold's side, there are game participants to protect him!
Just at this time ...
A knight galloping from the hill opposite!
He has a spear in his hand, and a flag on his tip!
Soon, the gate of Muzhai opened, and a knight of the Norman army rushed out.
Chen Xiaolian recognizes that this is King William, the younger brother of Robert.
Robble wore the knight ’s full body armor and rushed out to meet the knight on the opposite side.
Then he brought back a war book.
"Go back and prepare." Merlin's face showed a beam of joy: "It seems that tomorrow is the time for the decisive battle! This Harold is really as impatient as the legend! He just arrived Sent someone to come to the final battle! Huh! He was so anxious!
If he stays here for a few days, take a break, maybe the odds will be higher!
Unfortunately ... he's so anxious!
It seems that the decisive battle is tomorrow. "
After Merlin spoke, he drifted away, he was alone, and soon disappeared into the crowd.
Chen Xiaolian glanced at Lun Tian spare tire: "Let's go back."
