Chapter 453 Against the French Army
ps: Recommend a book, "Romanian Eagle", a good book written by a friend. It is about Romania before World War I. It will be on the shelves on the 1st. Everyone, go and have a look!
More than 6,000 people sat quietly on the wasteland. The sun kept emitting heat, as if making things difficult for these soldiers sitting on the ground, making them sweat profusely on their foreheads.
As the commander-in-chief and the commander of everyone present, Knight Alexander also took off his armor and hid under the shadow of the tree to enjoy the shade.
The adjutant on the side is holding a fan wittily, fanning the hard-working commander-in-chief to reduce the heat.
"Dong dong dong—" There was a sound of horseshoes, which startled a large number of soldiers sitting on the ground. They all raised their heads and looked at the orderly on horseback.
"Tell me! How's the situation?" Knight Alexander's handsome face showed a hint of anxiety.
"My lord, the French have already boarded the city wall of Rouen. I don't think it will be long before the city of Rouen will be taken!"
The cavalry pony quickly, trotted for a while, walked up to Knight Alexander, and said respectfully.
Hearing this, Knight Alexander immediately got up and took out the binoculars to look at it. Although he couldn't see anything, it gave him strong confidence.
Since the city of Rouen called for help, Knight Alexander hastily recruited soldiers for joint training.
After being free-range for so long, I finally trained them well.
Immediately, he asked other cities occupied by Protestants to deliver food, grass and gunpowder, and he was fully prepared to attack L for long distances.
In order to confuse the Duke of Guise, he sent people to spread rumors everywhere, saying that Britain did not want to cause trouble and did not want to go to war with the French, in order to alleviate the doubts of the Duke of Guise.
However, who knew that when they arrived near the city of Rouen yesterday, they discovered that the Catholic Allies were patrolling, and there was even a camp stationed in front of the main camp, like an acropolis.
In this way, Knight Alexander realized that the Duke of Guise has not taken it lightly, but is very wary of them.
Today, the Duke of Guise suddenly withdrew thousands of people and joined the siege team, which made Mr. Knight heave a sigh of relief.
Then there was the scene of thousands of people sitting on the grass, just to wait for Tanqi to figure out the actual situation before he lost his confidence.
In the past few weeks, a lot of the strength of the Catholic League has been consumed, and the strength of the Protestants in the city is believed to be exhausted.
At this moment, it is time for them to decide the outcome!
"Send the order, everyone prepares, the whole army goes straight to Rouen!"
Turning his head, Knight Alexander said to his adjutant, a young nobleman.
He is the nephew of the Marquess of Edinburgh and heir to the future Marquess of Edinburgh, so Knight Alexander valued him very much and wanted to train him.
"Yes! Your Excellency!" The young adjutant agreed quickly with a straight face, and then went to deliver the order as instructed. He was a good candidate.
Soon, the messengers passed the orders to the commanders of the companies, and then the whole army began to prepare, standing up with the company as a unit, and gradually gathered around the commanders according to the sound of the band.
After more than ten minutes, the infantry began to march in a hurry. It took five hours to travel ten miles.
By the time they arrived outside Rouen, it was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
After resting for half an hour, looking at the French soldiers who were constantly climbing the city wall, most of the teams were lined up to climb the city wall.
After a rough estimate, there are still about 5,000 soldiers under the city wall, but they are exhausted and ready to fight.
It can be seen that the French army has taken the initiative, while the defenders of Rouen are like a flat boat in a storm, gradually falling under the wind and rain.
At the moment when he was observing, he was originally sent to support 500 cavalry, but at this time there were still more than 300 people, in tattered clothes, who came to Alexander's knight, and their spirits were low.
"My lord, the cavalry company has returned, please order!"
The cavalry company commander came to Knight Alexander in disgrace, and said loudly.
"Get ready! We will attack the French army together later!"
The knight glanced at the cavalry company commander. Although he was a little displeased with his disheveled appearance, he didn't blame him for the fact that he had been holding part of the French army in Rouen.
Soon, more than 6,000 English soldiers lined up, stepped on drums, and walked step by step towards the Catholic Allied forces ahead.
And the Duke of Guise when the British army arrived. He found the trace, and he was extremely annoyed to see this important moment being interrupted.
"Duke Vendôme, immediately order the soldiers on the wall to come down and fight the English together!"
Gritting his teeth, the Duke of Guise gave instructions to the Duke of Vendome beside him, and then began to sit in command to stabilize the morale of the army.
The Duke of Guise is worthy of being a veteran. By the time the knights of Alexander assembled their cavalry to prepare to attack, he had already stabilized the morale of the army and put on a defensive posture!
Seeing this moment, the Alexander knight rode a horse, located in the rear, and began to direct the soldiers to attack.
Because the British army adopted the Spanish phalanx for training, all the soldiers walked in a strict manner, stepping on the beat, and marching forward bravely.
The phalanx is divided into three. Each phalanx has eight rows of spearmen in the front and two rows of musketeers in the back. The front and back are about 150 meters deep and 100 meters wide.
"Deng-deng-deng-,deng-deng-deng-"
Looking at the pace and formation of the Englishmen in front of them, the Duke of Guise was suddenly taken aback.
"When did the English start to learn from the Spaniards?"
The English army hadn't shown up on the European continent for a long time, but who knew that the army had learned the Spanish method to organize and train the army, which surprised him.
He has often fought against the Spaniards. The Duke of Guise knows that this kind of phalanx is not suitable for fighting in the mountains, but it is the most powerful in the plains, and he encountered it today.
"Let the cavalry charge from both sides, and the infantry charge directly up!"
In desperation, the Duke of Guise arranged a way to keep going.
Soon, the French cavalry began to charge towards both sides of the British army, with an indomitable momentum.
But the square formations on both sides quickly began to deform, and they were ready for the cavalry.
The cavalry bravely charged towards the pikemen, and defeated the first two rows of pikemen in an instant, but the following pikemen were not afraid at all, surrounded them without fear, and began to thrust regularly.
No matter how thick the armor is, it can't withstand the stabbing of the spears. The cavalry surrounded by the spearmen is like entering a quagmire, it is difficult to pull out, and they can only be wiped out one by one.
At this time, the infantry in front also began to charge forward. Although they also smashed the first few rows of pikemen, the subsequent pikes and arquebuses wiped them out without delay.
