Chapter 911: The Great War Begins(2/2)
The defeated soldiers who escaped were placed in front of the thousand soldiers by Charles I. To a certain extent, Charles I had given up all the soldiers who had escaped, and Charles I had staked all his treasures on these thousand soldiers.
On the soldiers.
The sun gradually rises to the sky, the temperature gradually rises, and the hottest time of the day arrives.
Charles I also put on armor and stood on the wall of Windsor Castle, holding a telescope intently and looking around Windsor Castle not far away.
At this time, the parliamentary army was already approaching Windsor Castle and reached the front of the defeated army's defense line.
Now, the defeated army's defense line has started fighting with the parliamentary army.
However, these defeated armies were the courage of the defeated army after all. Although they have regrouped, they are no match for the parliamentary army.
Soon, the defeated army's defense line was defeated again by the parliamentary army.
"Driving the defeated army to attack the defense line, I have never seen the mysterious power in the hands of His Highness the King since the beginning of the war. I am afraid that things are really like what was said before. The number of soldiers in the hands of His Highness the King is not large.
But it is also very possible that His Royal Highness the King has placed these soldiers on the last line of defense of Windsor Castle. For the sake of safety, we can only drive the defeated army to attack the last line of defense!"
The Earl of Essex stood on a relatively high ground behind the parliamentary army, looking seriously at the last line of defense ahead.
The messengers standing beside the Earl of Essex quickly conveyed the Earl of Essex's order.
"What a damn traitor, what a traitor, damn traitor."
Standing on the top of the city holding a telescope, Charles I saw the Earl of Essex. He looked at the Earl of Essex in the telescope and kept cursing loudly.
After the Earl of Essex's order was conveyed, the parliamentary soldiers began to drive these broken troops towards the last line of defense.
Standing on the top of the city, Charles I quickly discovered the intentions of the parliamentary army through his telescope.
Cold sweat broke out from Charles I's body instantly, and Charles I began to struggle.
If the parliamentary army is allowed to drive away the defeated troops and attack the last line of defense, then the last line of defense will not be able to withstand the offensive of the parliamentary army, and a defeat will be inevitable.
But if the soldiers on the last line of defense were to shoot directly, his former subordinates would be killed.
Regardless of whether these men attack the defense line intentionally or unintentionally, once the shooting order is given, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the soldiers on the last line of defense.
In a short period of time, Charles I thought of a lot.
Seeing the defeated troops getting closer and closer to the last line of defense, Charles I's face became more and more ferocious.
"Damn, damn it!"
Charles I slapped his thigh and gave the order to fire.
Compared with these defeated troops, the most important thing was the life of Charles I. Charles I knew that once the last line of defense collapsed, he would not live long.
Prince Rupert spread the order of Charles I throughout the entire defense line, and finally Prince Rupert came to the front of the castle, in the center of the defense line.
He held a loaded Dresser rifle in his hand, aiming at a broken soldier running at the front.
"Shoot!"
Prince Rupert shouted and pulled the trigger in his hand.
With the sound of gunfire, the bullet flew out of the barrel and hit the chest of the defeated soldier.
The soldier fell to the ground, struggled twice, and then lost his life.
After Prince Rupert's gunfire, intensive gunfire rang out.
The retreating soldiers seemed to have encountered an invisible wall. The soldiers rushing to the front suddenly stopped and then threw themselves on the ground.
Screams came one after another, and blood began to flow on the ground.
The defeated soldiers who were escaping at the back saw the tragic scene in front of them and were frightened to death.
At this moment, they would rather face the butcher knife of the parliamentary army than face this horrific scene again.
Soon, the defeated army and the parliamentary army clashed together. Because the parliamentary army was at the rear of the defeated army, they didn't know what was happening for a while.
Coupled with the defeated troops and the hysterical deserters, the two sides were mixed together, unable to advance or retreat, just crowded in place.
