My British Empire

Chapter 245: incredible

??Chapter 245 Unbelievable

??At this time, under the leadership of Robert, a mob of 20,000 people slowly approached a group of militiamen led by Marquis William.

??Although the soldiers are in rags and rags, their ages are uneven, and their faces are yellow and thin, they are full of energy. They don't have the mentality of compromise and perfection in the face of noble lords in normal times. It can be said that all their faces have a new look.

?? This is an attitude, an attitude of striving for ideals.

??In this era when hot weapons have not yet been fully popularized, fighting depends purely on the troops' ability to withstand casualties. Whoever is not afraid of death will win in the end.

??Of course, at present, the difference between the two teams is that one trains regularly, and the other is composed of poor people, and their combat effectiveness is not directly proportional. That's why thousands of officers and soldiers chased tens of thousands of rebels to run away in history.

?? At this time, the expeditionary force of more than 1,000 people composed of local militia did not pay attention to the 20,000 people who came from the opposite side.

??In fact, they didn't know how many people were on the other side, but the blind confidence of the officers completely infected them, and an extraordinary optimism spread in the militia.

?? They are all militia, which means there is no uniform.

??Some wore broken armor handed down from their ancestors, and some wore a short shirt. All kinds of clothes were strange and varied.

?? What is more uniform is that their weapons are exactly the same, they are all standard weapons stored in the county, long guns and longbows that come with them.

??And Robert led more than 20,000 mobs, with all kinds of weapons, such as lamb forks, wooden shovels, spears and so on.

??For this reason, Marquis William made all the people on his side wear white cloaks, while Robert made the people on his side wear black long scarves around their arms.

??So, from a distance, the white militiamen held long guns, and listened to the command of the Marquis, and walked forward with ease.

?? Regardless of his own age, Robert stood on a high platform that was built casually, looked into the distance, and saw the steady-footed militiamen approaching slowly, his eyebrows frowned involuntarily.

?? "Sir, what should we do?" On the side, a worried adjutant approached, looked at the dignified Robert, and asked.

?? "Wait—" Robert stared into the distance, his lips slightly parted.

?? "When they get closer to us, we will directly take advantage of the number of people and attack directly in one go. Only in this way can we have a little chance of winning!"

?? "Indeed, we don't have strong control over the army, so we can only rush over directly. I hope the king's people will be directly dispersed!"

??The adjutant sighed, only this choice is the most suitable at present, and then he turned his head to look at the army behind him, the worry in his eyes flashed away.

??Although the army has a large number of people, its composition is too complex, and the command system has not been established, so it can only bite the bullet and go to the battlefield.

?? Soon, the white army approached step by step, and the optimism made the army look majestic and indomitable.

?? And the 20,000 troops behind Robert also saw a white formation in one piece, and the neat formation brought great oppression to everyone.

?? Immediately, everyone looked at the family emblem of the Kate family on the banner, and their hearts immediately settled down. Everyone believed that Mr. Robert would definitely lead everyone to victory.

?? Regardless of his old body, Robert rode on a **** horse, staring straight ahead at the approaching army and the family emblem of the Marquess of Northampton fluttering in the long wind, without any sense of fear.

?? "Hello, Sir Kate, our Lord Marquis asked me to tell you that your betrayal of the king is unforgivable, but if you surrender now, there may still be a way out!"

??A cavalryman ran over, sat on the horse and bowed politely, then raised his chin and said proudly.

?? "Please tell His Excellency the Marquess of Northampton that this war is inevitable. As long as the enclosure is still going on, we will not stop!"

??Robert sat on the horse and took off his hat to salute. The English people are always so persistent about etiquette.

??Seeing Robert Kate's sonorous and forceful answer, the courier reined in the horse, looked at the stubborn old man carefully, and then rode away without looking back.

??After receiving this reply, Marquis William showed no surprise on his face. He just ordered the troops to speed up and resolve the battle as soon as possible. This is the best result.

?? Soon, the militiamen who slowed down began to move forward again in a threatening manner. The spearmen's iron spear heads were shining coldly, which made people feel panic.

??The mobs were not to be outdone. Although they lacked all weapons, their silent and oppressive atmosphere directly made the militiamen who were getting closer feel a little hesitant.

??But the Earl's order was unquestionable, and the footsteps did not stop at all.

??At this time, only blood can be used to witness the victory.

??The pikemen in the front row were like a sharp dagger piercing straight into the mob, causing huge casualties to the mob at once.

??The longbowmen in the rear fired cold arrows "swish-swish-", the ragged mobs were basically unable to parry, and a blank space was cleared around the pikemen.

?? In the back, Marquis William held up the binoculars. Seeing such a picture, the worries in his heart dissipated a lot, and he showed a smile.

??Then, the Marquis's smile suddenly froze, his eyes filled with disbelief.

??The picture turned around, and on the emptied white ground, mobs rushed up one after another, showing no fear at all. If you look carefully, you can even see the ferocious and fanatical faces of those people clearly.

??Seeing this, Marquis William was shocked. He didn't understand what happened to these mobs, they were so violent.

?? The spearmen in the front row felt the most deeply about this. They felt that they were like a rock, facing the endless waves, one wave after another, and the pressure was enormous.

??All kinds of weapons pounced on them, and soon overwhelmed the nearly 1,000 pikemen in front of them, and the white figure disappeared after a few flashes.

??So, in less than ten minutes, the pikemen were basically wiped out, surrounded, or dead.

?? "Quick, quick, let the longbowmen evacuate, evacuate quickly!"

??Watching the mob getting closer to the longbowman in the rear, Marquis William knew that he had failed, so he hurriedly ordered the messenger to convey his military order.

?? "Let's go too, hurry up!" Marquis William eagerly ordered the guards beside him, "These mobs are crazy, really crazy!"

??The Marquis pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, turned to talk to the guards following him, then turned his head, and glanced at the submerged spear phalanx with complicated eyes.

?? Soon, the Marquis' only guards followed his footsteps without hesitation and evacuated urgently.

?? "Mr. Jazz, do we want to chase?" the adjutant looked at the evacuated Marquis and others, and asked softly.
