Chapter 42 This is a crisis
Amid the explosion not too far, the chasing cavalry brigade was blown up by a person. Wu Jiu's book friend uploaded the first person to be attacked, and he didn't know that he would not send people near every fire. At least, Duke Henry Raspi of Thuringia said that his subordinates were attacked at night and would not go straight to the fire. According to the chasing soldiers, that was to seek death!
The legs of war horses will break because of the small earth pits that cause impotence. Those earth pits that are not moral are only a little larger than horse's hooves. If the horse kicks it, it will easily break the legs without having time to pull out the legs. As for the tripping rope that throws people to death, it is not a magical thing. It is a bomb on the wooden stake, if it explodes in the crowd, it will blow up a large area.
Of course, the scale of such a beating is absolutely different from that of Zhao Fubo in the Battle of Milan. The scale and effect of the attacks using the "Flying Swallow III" and "Trigger Rockets" were absolutely different, but the results were similar. Because he saved the people who were fired in the middle of the night, he would definitely not be able to concentrate on fighting tomorrow.
"Oh, what a fool, it's really a problem to deal with these guys!"
When thinking about this, Henry Raspie, Duke of Thuringia, could not help but wonder if it was the right thing to come here to stay away from Germany to deal with the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II. There was another person who was similar to his idea, but this person received much more help than he did because he had a smart and good son.
Rumble... The explosion in the night sky would be heard far away. King John Henry III listened to it, and felt that there was no danger. Then he looked at the guy in front of him who was under the banner of messenger sent by his son.
“You are…”
King Henry III of John frowned and looked at the guy in front of him. He didn't remember much that he had such a county magistrate under his command. Although the Philip Mark family, the governor of Nottingham County, still had some reputation. Their family was famous for fighting against the Robin Hood family and suffered repeated losses.
Facing Prince Edward's father, Philip Mark, the mayor of Nottingham County, expressed his respect. He entered here without much effort with the sign of the English messenger. Facing the scrutiny of King Henry III of John, he respectfully explained his origin.
"Your Majesty, I am Philip Mark, the governor of Nottingham. At the order of Prince Edward, I brought you a letter from him and Emperor Louis IX, the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. In addition, King Fernande III of the Kingdom of Castile, also gave you a letter!"
Listening to the name that popped up from Nottingham County Magistrate Philip and Mark's mouth, King John Henry III could not help but stretch out his hand to stroke his beard. Of course, his son's letter was nothing, but Louis IX of France was not right with him, and he fought a war a few years ago. The king of the Kingdom of Castile, the young man, knew that he was also a wise king in the war against the Moors. As for the Chinese Empire, he had never heard of it. So far, he only knew that the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II married his daughter Princess Alisha to a pagan emperor from the East. Is the emperor of the Chinese Empire that the guy?
With questions, he unfolded a letter, and Prince Edward briefly explained his reasons and experiences of leaving home. When he saw Prince Edward shooting the guy in front of him with an arrow, he couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Edward shot you with an arrow?"
Nottingham County Mayor Philip Mark's performance was very interesting. He shrugged, with a completely honorable expression.
"Uh...yes, my Majesty, when I was performing official duties, my methods were a little more intense and excessive. Prince Edward gave a small warning on Bei Yi's butt. Bei Yi has corrected all the mistakes, so he has regained the trust of His Highness!"
Looking at his appearance, King John Henry III had nothing to say, just nodded and said.
"Oh, it's really hard for you!"
Such a reply made the nearby knights twitch and wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to speak in front of King John Henry III. Next, look at the letter from Emperor Louis IX, which made King John Henry III even more frown.
"He actually married his two daughters to that pagan? This... is incredible!"
Nottingham County Mayor Philip Mark saluted and then interrupted.
"Your Majesty, please tell me your humble position. Although the emperor of the Chinese Empire did not believe in God, he had already conquered the Kingdom of Granada of the Moors. As far as I heard, it took only a few days to capture the capital of the Kingdom of Granada!"
This surprised King Henry III of John. He always thought that the emperor of the Chinese Empire came here to collude with the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II to conquer the entire Europe. At least from Pope Innocent IV, this was the case. Earl of Artowa and Henry VII described him as the demon of the world. This was also something that King Henry III of John had to consider. At that time, he thought that the pagan emperor from the East was to conquer the entire Europe. The same thoughts were also the other kings or dukes in the Pope's army.
Now when hearing the words of Philip Mark, the mayor of Nottingham County, this made King Henry III of John really hard to believe. Because if a man willing to attack the founding of the Moors, it would at least mean that he was definitely not a Muslim. Speaking of which, in this era, Christians had the deepest conflicts and the most grudges were probably Muslims.
He put down the letter from Emperor Louis IX and opened the letter from King Fernande III of Castile. After reading the complete letter, he showed a feeling of despair. Because King Fernande III praised the Emperor Zhao Fubo of the Chinese Empire, and then stated that he would personally lead an army of 50,000 to go to war with the emperor of the Chinese Empire, and his goal was to besiege the Pope Army in Turin. The reason is very simple, that is, the Pope Army is invading the rights of a secular monarch.
Although Louis IX's letter did not say that France would send troops, this matter had been considered in the mind of Henry III, King John. Whether he would send troops or not, it can be seen from the meaning of his letter that his relationship with the Chinese emperor. If this is the case, he would have a good chance of sending troops when he returned to France. At that time, the Pope's army would not have France's support, and only his own group would be left to fight such a powerful army, as well as the army of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II surrounded by the city of Turin. Is it necessary to fight such a war?
It is undoubtedly a crisis for him and for England!
