My British Empire

As long as the English are repulsed, the House and I will personally issue a decree for you!

The bravest among them will be personally received by Her Majesty the Queen Mother, and will be made a knight with three villages as fiefdoms!

Earl Allen's words inspired the Scots' desire to resist England, in a word, they inspired their subjective initiative.

Before the Earl could finish speaking, a messenger came to him.

My lord regent, the English have arrived!

Hearing this, Earl Allen immediately called an army of citizens and freemen to the city wall, and started a defensive battle with the soldiers.

Back to the English army in front of the city of Edinburgh. Inside the main camp, there are densely packed tents. Most of the soldiers are standing or squatting, and some are talking and laughing. They look leisurely and have no intention of fighting at all.

And the Scottish prisoners of war who randomly used fences as protection beside the main camp, under the urging of the elite English cavalry, walked out of the simple camp one by one, walking around listlessly.

As captives, the Scots had not only been on the road for several days, but also had only one meal of black bread a day, and sometimes they were driven to walk without a single piece of bread. They had no strength to walk one by one.

You savages, by God's blessing, our Lord Duke Edward will give you a chance to be free!

Gavin knew this fat man, he was the leader of the highland warriors who specially guarded himself and him, a greedy and vicious guy.

Even though Gavin looked down on this fat man, he had to listen carefully to his words, because this fat man could dispose of him as a prisoner at will, even if he killed him, no one would care!

All of you, as long as you fill up that stinking ditch and come back alive, the one hundred people who work the hardest will be free and go home!

Tens of thousands of people suddenly fell silent, and less than ten seconds later, the scene erupted with mind-boggling shouts.

As a result, tens of thousands of Scottish Highlanders were forced to march towards the walls of Edinburgh.

Gavin, like the warriors of his own tribe, struggled to hold a sack of dirt, and followed the big man holding a big rock in front of him slowly towards the moat, his stomach that hadn't eaten all day was growling non-stop along the way.

It was three miles from the camp to the moat, plus dozens of pounds of dirt, Gavin felt that his thigh was not his own, and every step he took felt a piercing pain.

Seeing the moat, Gavin quickly threw the sack in his hand before looking back around.

In a short distance of three miles, Edinburgh shot thousands of arrows, and nearly 300 soldiers fell down due to lack of physical strength.

More than a hundred people fell to the ground, screaming miserably on the battlefield where the intestines were flowing and the blood was everywhere, and the calls for help could be heard endlessly.

However, a landfill of tens of thousands of people, in this black city ditch, not even a shadow can be seen.

In this way, after more than a dozen consecutive landfills, the moat formed a mile-long hard ground, a bridge through which the army could pass.

The tens of thousands of sharp arrows shot by the Scots took the lives of nearly 5,000 people and more than 3,000 seriously injured. The Scottish prisoners suffered heavy casualties!

At this time, the hostility in the hearts of the captives had reached a critical point, but Duke Edward sent a large amount of black bread at this time, directly suppressing the dissatisfaction of the Scots.

In fact, when Gavin ate the bread in front of him, there was only a feeling of happiness in his heart. After being hungry for almost two days, his shriveled stomach finally bulged!

After his stomach was barely half full, Gavin was free to look at the fat man who had just arrived, and the Scottish captives who were just as hungry and thirsty as him.

All highland warriors, everyone knows why I came here!

The fat man looked at the highland warriors with big eyes, even though he knew they would not dare to touch him, but his size, which was larger than the average Englishman, was still a threat.

After the Duke's instructions, Gotha, Wells...

These people are free, but you can't go to Edinburgh! Do you understand?

Yes! Yes! Yes! My lord! The one with the most flexible mind quickly nodded and bowed, echoing loudly.

Seeing more than a hundred people return to his home, Gavin couldn't help feeling longing in his heart.

Don't be discouraged, the Duke said, as long as any of you can climb the city wall, he will be free!

Looking at the remaining 5,000 captives, the fat man said without haste.

Immediately, the cheers of the strong highland soldiers became more enthusiastic.

The next day, the highland warriors carried a long ladder and rushed up the city wall of Edinburgh. Gavin was one of them. He was the second to climb the city wall, with a sturdy buddy leading the way in front of him.

Almost all the falling stones on the city wall were blocked by him with his shield, and Gavin was not injured.

When Gavin climbed onto the city wall without any risk, he saw the sturdy soldier kneeling on the ground, surrendering his weapons to the militiamen holding long guns.

However, the militiamen who did meritorious deeds could not let him go, and stabbed him with a gun while his head was buried. The poor guy went to see God before he could see clearly.

Before Gavin had time to remind him, the soldier was bleeding all over the ground. Gavin hurriedly prepared to climb down the wooden ladder, but the archers on the arrow tower had already aimed at him.

Wh-wh-wh- Three arrows shot straight into Gavin's chest. Before Gavin could react, his body fell uncontrollably under the city wall, his body was bloody.

Lying on the corpse, he felt pain all over his body, his breathing became more and more difficult, and he stopped breathing slowly.

In this way, after a month of attack, only more than 300 Scottish prisoners returned to their homes with injuries, while Edinburgh was still impenetrable.

The English infantry also killed and injured more than 3,000 people, forcing the Duke to stop the siege and switch to a siege.

Edinburgh itself is a port, and for a month, ships aided by the French came and went.

Is what little Edward said true? Duke Edward couldn't help thinking about Edward's letter.

Mohome Monastery, a monastery that has always been quiet, has many uninvited guests at this time.

Grandma! Where is Queen Mary? Harry was very polite to the oldest nun in the convent.

No! Do you know that men are not allowed to enter the monastery?

Grandma, I won't go in! I'm interrupting you this time!

Harry spoke politely to the old nun, but gestured to a dozen strong women behind him.

So, a dozen women entered the monastery one by one, and the old nun could only watch them go in. The dozen old nuns behind her also looked helpless.

After all, they are only women, and they are still old women, so they are powerless against this group of people.

The ferocious woman came to a remote courtyard, opened the door, and saw a beautiful girl of four or five years old playing happily with a maid in her thirties.
