The Rise of the European Emperor

"Could it be that...England sent troops just to scare us, and their real purpose is to blackmail Scotland?" John Stewart said suspiciously after receiving the urgent report from the front.

His new queen Margaret rolled her eyes and said:

"Scotland is so poor now, is there anything England should remember?"

In order to redeem the king and soldiers, the Scottish treasury has long been emptied. How can there be oil and water in Scotland now? Then, the only thing of value that England seeks is probably territory. However, the English army has put up a posture at the border, but if they don't attack, what's the deal?

As for doubts about whether England sent troops to attack Edinburgh, Scotland from behind, the Scots were not worried. Because, according to intelligence, this time the English army has pulled all the three main domestic armies to the border. Even if you want to attack from another convenient way, you don't have any troops...

Even if the half-way couple thought about it, they would never have imagined that half of the 30,000 troops were fake. Moreover, Scottish spies can't see the problem with the upstart entertainers.

why? Scottish spies don't have binoculars. If they want to scout for intelligence, they can only watch from a distance, or buy insiders to inquire about the news.

In this way, it is difficult to see the situation clearly without a telescope. And Marin replaced the Beihai militiamen of the 5,000 elite veterans of the Fifth Army, of course, their combat effectiveness could not be put on the table. But before encountering the enemy army, if they just look at the march and walk, there is really little difference between them and the veterans. Although experienced scouts can tell whether they are veterans from the expression on their faces and eyes. But the Scots didn't have binoculars, and they didn't dare to approach for reconnaissance, so naturally they couldn't see it.

Even the Newcastle mine guard team pretending to be the Fourth Army, the usual training is not bad, and the queue is a standard. Only the 8,000 temporary recruits did not walk very well during the march. But the person in charge of the fake Fourth Army let the two thousand members of the mine guard team walk on the outermost edge, so that they could fully avoid being spotted by the Scottish scouts.

In the end, the English army brought in more than twenty cannons and blasted the fort on the southern border of Scotland. Then the main force of the English army stormed the fort, annihilating and capturing the 800-strong frontier guard.

Then, under the leadership of Siwager, the "Great Army" of England moved slowly northward, being very cautious along the way. Of course, the marching speed is also very slow.

On the mountain road leading to Edinburgh, the Scots set up numerous checkpoints, which were intended to prevent the English army from going north. Relying on the steep terrain, the Scots are also a little bit bottom-of-mind. After all, many checkpoints are the kind of "one man guards the gate, ten thousand men can't open it". It is really not easy for the English to break through.

But Sivager knew very well in his heart that he was just putting on a show to attract the Scottish defenders. The real killer move was Newcastle's real Fourth Army attacking Edinburgh from the sea. As long as Edinburgh is taken, the resistance army in southern Scotland will lose its leadership and become nothing. At that time, surrender will be their best choice...

Therefore, Sivager's attack was very powerful, but the progress was slow, which frightened Scotland a lot. To this end, Scotland sent most of its troops to the southern front. In Edinburgh, there are only more than a thousand guards left...

...

When the frontline war was in full swing, in London, the capital of England, at midnight, the leaders of several underground organizations quietly gathered together...

"Everyone, according to the intelligence from the front, the main force of the English army has already entered Scotland, and it seems that they cannot easily return to London. At this time, in London, there are only 5,000 defenders who are purely recruits." army, and the 500 palace guards guarding the Tower of London..." a man in black said excitedly.

Another man in black at the front retorted:

"Boss Jones, even so, the 5,000 recruits and 500 guards in London are not something we can confront head-on! You know,

That was recruits made up of 5,000 strong men, not 5,000 pigs. If it is a head-on confrontation, our troops may not be able to fight together! "

The other men in black also nodded. The 5,000 recruits were of course a motley crew, but the subordinates of these men in black were not elite. If there is a head-on collision, there may not be a chance of winning...

The leader of the man in black named "Jones" smiled and said:

"What if, I said, some of the 5,000 recruits were bought by me?"

"What do you mean?" The other men in black immediately cheered up.

The man in black named "Jones" smiled confidently and said:

"You should know that the garrison composed of 5,000 recruits was divided into five thousand-man phalanxes. The leaders of two of the phalanxes have been bought by us. Once we start an attack, 2,000 of the 5,000 enemy troops will stand still and wait and see. .Even, may join us..."

"Really?" Immediately, many people in black became excited. According to this situation, they seem to have a good chance of winning.

"Of course it's the real peripatetic!" Jones said proudly. Then, he thought for a while and said:

"By the way, how many people are available to each of you? Count them up. In addition, everyone will lend me some gold and silver treasures. The two phalanx commanders just clearly promised that they will stand still at that time, and may not send troops to help us. If we spend more Some money, and promise more, they may have a greater possibility of choosing to send troops to help us. You know, if those two thousand people fight with us, the possibility of victory will be even greater!"

"This is no problem!" Many leaders of the men in black expressed their opinions one after another.

After statistics, these men in black found that they could use as many as 4,200 people. Although mostly a mob, the 5,000 recruits who guarded London were also a mob. What's more, if the two thousand-man phalanx joined them, they would have a great advantage in terms of strength. At that time, 6,200 people will face 3,000 defenders and 500 guards guarding the Tower of London, and the chances of winning are relatively high.

Although the 500 guards in the Tower of London are relatively elite, they generally do not leave the Tower of London easily. After all, they need to protect the Edward family. Even if some elites are sent to support the defenders, at most two or three hundred people will be sent out.

However, these remnants of the Tudor dynasty are not without elites. If all families gather together, hundreds of dead soldiers with high martial arts skills can still be gathered. Facing those hundreds of guards, it might not be that bad.

In addition, during this secret meeting, various factions gathered gold and silver treasures worth 50,000 gold coins, which could be used to win over the leaders of the two thousand-man phalanxes. Once the two phalanxes of thousands of people can be persuaded to join the rebellion team, then the strength of the rebel army will be enough to win.

...

After this secret meeting, the leader of the man in black named "Jones" continued to corrupt the leaders of the two thousand-man phalanxes. And various forces also began to quietly gather people from all over England to the city of London. When the time is right, they will launch an incident in the city of London, and then break into the Tower of London Palace in one fell swoop, killing Edward, the "tyrant" who has a deep hatred for each family. Then, they will adopt the only surviving daughter of Henry VII, Queen Margaret of Scots, as Queen of England, and restore the Tudor dynasty... .
