Chapter 218 The Sword of Damocles
In order to buy enough time for himself, Li Peijun spent all his remaining energy on the rapid march. The Harfleur army was led by the cavalry, the shield soldiers followed at the end of the team, and the most vulnerable crossbowmen were placed in the middle. in the queue.

The original horned helmet was also replaced with Harfleur's attire. After achieving his own war intentions, there is no need to expose such an obvious live target to the opponent. After all, rows of bright heads with horns on their heads can be easily done from a distance. discovery.

Because of the field of view, Li Peijun occupied the powerful terrain overlooking the high ground, and was the first to spot the King of England's men and horses, but the opponent seemed to be defenseless and marched towards his direction. precautionary measures.

"Cohen, you and I each lead a cavalry to double-team the opponent from both wings. Shield soldiers and battleaxe soldiers face the enemy head-on. Crossbowmen follow slowly. Don't rush to shoot, wait until the enemy is completely within your strike range Intrinsic slanted fire."

Li Peijun briefly deployed the attack plan for a while, and after confirming that there were no other opponents around who could threaten him, he safely transferred the shield soldiers protecting the crossbowmen to the front position to charge.

"Understood." The commanders of each formation took orders, and then began to deploy the formations according to the predetermined plan.

The King of England also noticed some bad signs. The army in the distance first stopped in place for a while, and then suddenly seemed to be ready to leave, and the equipment did not look like a peasant army recruited from a distance, so he became a little suspicious , turned around and asked Noah, the nobleman next to him, and said: "This army doesn't seem to be our army, but it looks a bit similar in number."

The cavalry on the high ground on the other side had quickly begun to circle to both sides. Before Noah could reply, the King of England had already seen through everything and took the lead in drawing his sword to boost morale. "Everyone, the enemy is in front, prepare to meet the enemy."

The hasty formation in a short period of time gave the opponent a lot of opportunities to take advantage of. The cavalry on both sides broke through before the phalanx gathered, and the heavy infantry of Harfleur on the frontal battlefield was about to join the battle.

"Quick, quick, come and hold them back." King Ying put his foot in the stirrups, carefully guarding against sneak attacks from all directions in the melee, and kept giving orders to stabilize his position.

The shield soldiers of the two sides collided with each other, and the shields of each other tried to overwhelm the opponent's attack. As the stalemate continued, the rivet wooden shield equipped by the King of England was obviously no match for the pure iron alloy shield made by Harfleur. Not only were the shields smashed to pieces, many people were directly hit with a shield blow head-on.

The battle situation of the cavalry showed an evenly matched situation. Although the shiny silver armor made the King of England the most conspicuous target in the crowd, it did not affect his outstanding performance at all. He was still able to deal with the encirclement of the three knights freely. After killing one person, he escaped calmly.

Li Peijun also found the brightest star among the horses, and went to wrestle with his horse and sword.

Gu Shoujian King Ying also sensed the threat from the rear, and hastily turned around to receive the attack. Yin Hong's battle robe was caught between the two blades, and was torn apart neatly.

"God is calling you." Li Peijun roared in English, followed by a powerful slash.

The King of England had no time to block, so he was forced to turn around on his horse. The sword of the knight landed on the opponent's shoulder armor, and the thick iron bulged there took the fatal blow for the King of England. The sword was withdrawn like a flowing cloud, and immediately slashed towards the opponent's waist.

"Qiangqiang"

The opponent buckled the hilt of the sword vertically in front of his chest to block his horizontal attack. After changing his posture, he retracted his move and pulled away to a safe distance.

In just a few moves, Li Peijun realized that this was a difficult opponent, but right now he didn't need to pursue the outcome of an individual duel, as long as he could win the entire battle.

From the corner of the eye, he noticed the crossbowman's position. The arrows on the string were ready to go. As long as they were pulled apart on the battlefield again, the merciless rain of arrows would fall on the top of the enemy's head.

"Use skills and act together."

Seeing that he had no energy left, Li Peijun felt a little regretful. If the cavalry of the two armies were allowed to fight each other, the crossbowmen would not dare to easily tilt their firepower for fear of accidental injury.

So far, the only thing left to do is to completely defeat the enemy and use crossbowmen to finish off the battlefield.

The fierce horse roared, Li Peijun regrouped, and rushed into the chaotic formation again, searching for the king of Ying.

"Noah, Noah, are you still there? There seem to be more and more enemies. When will our reinforcements arrive?" In the wind, the silver-white armor was also hacked in all directions, and the cracks all over it told the tragic battle.

Noah's situation is not much better. When he killed the enemy, his cheek was inadvertently hit by a shield, and he is still bruised. The cruel battle made him unable to distract himself from thinking about other things. He replied uncertainly : "I don't know, maybe another hour."

The battle situation became more and more unfavorable to the king's troops. The shield soldiers who broke through the defense line rushed towards the knights in the melee, and without any explanation, they bumped the big shield that covered the sky and the sun indiscriminately. The infantry seemed to show signs of defeat and stalemate Going down will only attract a crowd of enemies.

"Damn it, go back to London for a long-term plan, and retreat quickly." Unable to stop the defeat, the King of England ordered the troops to retreat again and again, and left the only shielded soldiers behind to buy time for himself as much as possible.

Seeing that the time was right, Li Peijun raised his sword and signaled when the enemy was separated from the fierce battle.

"Prepare, all arrows are fired."

Kesar discovered the lord's order, and immediately ordered the crossbowmen to change their angles. Suddenly, a dense rain of arrows poured down on the enemy's fleeing road. The knights who lacked protection immediately fell off their horses, and many of the cavalry who managed to escape were also killed. Dressed as a hedgehog.

After the last shield soldier was dealt with, there was no point in chasing the king of England. Taking advantage of this morale, Li Peijun led the victorious army to the king's peasant army.

The dense sea of ​​people piled up on a plain, and they would arrive at the scheduled location in half an hour without any accidents. Li Peijun vividly regarded this military operation as wool, and this time the crossbowmen directly switched to the state of hand-to-hand combat. Facing unarmed peasants, crossbowmen who have received professional fighting training are more than enough to deal with them.

The peasants only made a symbolic resistance, and the whole team lost its morale. The 7000-man army lacked unified dispatch and command, and was suddenly scattered into several regiments by hundreds of cavalry.

Considering the need for future rule, Li Peijun did not turn the battle into a war of encirclement and annihilation, but only planned to use the method of defeating the opponent to solve the opponent. As for the peasants who fled in a hurry, Li Peijun also let them go, but just took the head of the leading knight into his bag with a smile .

Eradicating the British king's aristocratic influence as much as possible will also be of great benefit to the full takeover of Britain in the future. The more people are killed, the less resistance there will be to rule in the future. The Harfleur nobles are more interested in killing than themselves. After all, the land options They can only be the owners of it, and no one else can share it.

Now, the roadblocks across London have been cleared, and what Harfleur's army is facing is only an isolated city.

　The previous chapters were stupid, I confused Kent in the southeast of Afia with Lincolnshire in the north-central, another army led by Bernard fought Lincoln, the mistake has been corrected, sorry everyone
