London.

At this time, it was just a small town.

At this time, England was still in the chaotic era of the Seven Kingdoms, Wessex, Essex, Sussex, Kent, Northumbria, East Anglia, and Muria were divided, and the area around London belonged to the Kingdom of Kent, but the capital of the Kingdom of Kent was in Canterbury, and Catholicism first began to spread from Kent to England, so the Archbishop of Canterbury became the leader of the church in England.

"This place is so dirty!"

On the docks in London, Her Royal Highness the Princess covered her nose with a small handkerchief and said.

In front of her was a small town enclosed by crumbling walls, and in the mist of England, there were earthen huts on the docks, low, dilapidated, with sewage flowing everywhere, and everywhere a rotten black, and it was rare to see a few houses of stone and brick, but even such houses looked equally decayed because they were covered with moss and the like. The ragged paupers were madly competing to sell their wares to the Don soldiers in this damp decay, a crowd of piglets ran merrily through the crowd, splashing foul-smelling mud, all the Don soldiers almost without exception covered their mouths and noses in disgust, and a few dirty children and their dogs in sacks followed behind the piglets.

This was London in the 8th century.

A city that will dominate the fate of the world for a century in the future.

"We're going to Canterbury!"

Yang Feng said in the old English in his memory to the official-looking person who came forward.

The latter replied blankly.

"Mah, I don't understand the language!"

Yang Feng said speechlessly.

They do not understand the language, Yang Feng speaks of modern English, which is the evolution of Middle English during the Renaissance, but Middle English was formed after the Norman Conquest, and before that it was Old English, but Old English is the product of the fusion of English and Saxon during the Danish Conquest, that is to say, the English spoken by Yang Feng and what these people said are separated by three generations! If we can get through with each other, it will be hellish for hell.

Fortunately, this problem was quickly resolved.

Because immediately after the arrival of a nobleman and a bishop, when Her Royal Highness the Byzantine Princess explained her identity in Latin, the two big men were directly stunned, and then hurriedly expressed their courtesy, and after some conversation, Her Royal Highness the Princess told Yang Feng an unfortunate news.

"No?"

Yang Feng was stunned.

"No, they don't have the kind of horses you say!"

Her Royal Highness said.

In fact, Yang Feng also knows that the Sharma appeared in the eleventh century, but since it can appear, it must be the result of selection and breeding, and one of the breeds of the Shire horse must also be the same giant horse, no matter how the Mongolian horse and the Yunnan horse are cultivated, it is estimated that the Shire horse will not be produced, so he came with hope, but he did not expect that the hope would be dashed like this.

"And what do their soldiers ride?"

Yang Feng asked unrelentingly.

At this moment, a servant came over with a black war horse that was extremely miraculous.

Yang Feng immediately knew what they were riding.

The Dutch Frisian horse, the symbol of medieval European knights, but this horse is at best an Andalusian horse, and it is still a little short of the Big Mac he demands, unless it ......

"Yang Zhong!"

He shouted back.

"The king, the subordinates are here!"

Yang Zhong immediately stepped forward and saluted.

"Command, take the city!"

Yang Feng waved his hand and said.

The Byzantine princess looked at him in amazement.

At the next moment, the bell on the battleship on the dock suddenly rang, and the Tang soldiers who were trading with those civilians threw down their things as quickly as possible, and then took off their rifles and rushed to the officers who had already begun to blow the whistle, at the same time all the gun doors on those battleships were opened, and the other transport ships waiting to dock quickly lowered their boats, and a boatload of marines began to land.

The sudden change also stunned the bishop and the nobleman, who were ready to personally escort Her Highness to Canterbury! Why did you use force in the blink of an eye?

He hurriedly drew his sword.

"You ......"

Before he finished speaking, Yang Feng's hand suddenly appeared on his neck, like picking up a toy, and threw it directly into the Thames, and then he didn't even look at it, and turned his head directly to the princess and said: "Tell him, let him go and inform the king of Kent, and send four war horses with a shoulder height of no less than nineteen palms here within a month, and then let the king of Kent inform the kings of the other six countries that they must also send four war horses that are not less than nineteen palms high, limited to one month, and have not been sent after a month, I started from Canterbury, city by city, and whatever method they used, I had to send it to me, and it had to be two stallions and two mares. ”

"Uh, that's too hard for a strong man, isn't it?"

Her Royal Highness the Princess was stunned.

"How do you talk, I want to play pi shares again!"

Yang Feng's face sank and he shouted.

"You fight!"

Her Royal Highness the princess said with a writhing smile.

Of course, she hastened to tell the bishop the unfortunate news, and at this moment the gunfire had already sounded on the dock, and dozens of nobleman's men fell almost instantly under the bullets of the Don soldiers, and the people scattered in panic screaming in terror, and the few soldiers on the walls of London closed the gates in a panic, and then fired a salvo of guns from the nearest battleship, and the gates were blown away in a blink of an eye. When a 24-pounder mortar was erected on the shore and fired a bomb into the city, less than 100 soldiers defending the city were scattered in an instant, and the Don army marched into the city of London in a procession, and requisitioned the churches and noble mansions in the city......

It's a pity that this aristocratic mansion is not as good as the house of an ordinary small landlord in Broken Leaves.

In short, the Don army occupied London in this way.

Five days later, the Kent army, which had probably counterattacked with less than 3,000 troops, arrived in total, with a large group of leather-clad and unarmoured archers, who first sent an emissary to negotiate with righteous words, and after the negotiation was fruitless, the chainmailed cavalry began to advance with spears, followed by the infantry and archers behind them. But before they could enter the distance of the projectile, the artillery on the side of the Tang army fired first, and then the explosion of the bullet startled the war horses of the Kent army without any suspense, and those frightened war horses carrying the knight lord on their backs immediately crashed into the middle of the soldiers and archers, and the whole formation was in such a chaos, and in this confusion, the line infantry of the Tang army began to step forward, and soon entered the range of the rifle and fired at the back row of guns.

And so the battle ended.

The Don army crushed the Kent army unscathed and captured more than a hundred fine Frisian horses.

A cavalry detachment was quickly formed.

And it was also a heavy cavalry team, those Frisian horses with horse armor and full plate armor of the heavy cavalry, suddenly raised to the level of battlefield monsters, in view of the irrational behavior of the Kent, King Yang decided to punish them, leaving half of the marines stationed in London, he personally led two infantry battalions and artillery battalions, plus heavy cavalry posts, to attack a nearby castle, where the lord still wanted to resist stubbornly, but after a volley of eighteen twelve-pounder field guns, he chose to surrender without hesitation.

Then he further confirmed to Yang Feng that the horse with a height of two meters at the shoulder did not have it at all.

In fact, the most popular war horses in Europe at this time were mainly Friesian horses, as well as Iberian horses represented by Andalusian horses.

The latter is the main war horse of the cavalry in the Roman Empire, and the former comes from the lowland forest, because the big cannibals control Iberia, so the lowland horse is becoming the source of war horses for European knights, but this system is not only the Frisian horse, in fact, there is no breed at this time, those war horses in the later period of Europe are gradually bred, and they are bred by those monasteries, and the name is also given by these monasteries. But the origin is nothing more than the Iberian horse system and the lowland forest swamp horse system in Western Europe, the two systems are about the same size, these guys are all one meter five shoulder height start, but breaking through two meters is almost unheard of, but more than one meter eight can still be found, but that has to be raised by the big nobles themselves to carefully serve the pretending force, and some horse monasteries may also be found, if you really want to hit the luck, maybe you can really find one or two horses to meet Yang Feng's requirements, that is, nineteen palms, or more than one meter nine shoulder high.

This is the confession of the little nobleman as a qualified leader.

"You're rewarded!"

Yang Feng pointed to a set of Mingguang armor beside him and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The little nobleman said excitedly.

"You go to inform the countries for me, I am not here to occupy your land, I am here to find a war horse with a shoulder height of more than nineteen palms for him at the behest of the emperor of the Tang Empire, this is what he heard from the big food merchant, this is my task, I will not leave if I can't complete the task, and I will continue to attack non-stop if I can't complete the task, whether it is Kent or other countries, they are within my attack range. But if I get such a war horse, then I will immediately return to Datang, I have to make it clear, if I can't find it in a month, I'll look for a year, if I can't find it in a year, I'll look for two years, or even five years, ten years without stopping, I will transfer more troops from Datang to come, our empire has a population of 10,000 and millions of troops, I think it is estimated that 10,000 soldiers are enough to slaughter a small country like Kent, even if the slaughter of the entire British Isle is estimated to be no more than 100,000 soldiers.

Do you understand? ”

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, I hope you would do well to seriously consider the words of His Royal Highness the Prince, who once slaughtered the capital of the Great Food Empire and tied the Emperor of the Great Food Empire to a pillar and baked it into charcoal, if you do not meet his demands, then it is estimated that the kings of the seven kingdoms will be charred by him in the same way.

You should have heard of the Whip of God.

Then you may not know that the reason why the Huns came to Europe was only because they were driven by the Han people in the east and had nowhere to stay, so they had to flee west to Europe. ”

Her Royal Highness added after translating.

"Your Royal Highness, I will definitely convey your intention to the monarchs of various countries."

The little nobleman said tremblingly.

"Go, I believe in you!"

Yang Feng held a two-handed sword, rolled it in his hand like kneading dough, and then said casually.

The baron wiped a cold sweat and hurried away.

However, his next efforts were not smooth sailing, after all, Yang Feng is indeed a strong man, this is purely like looking for a needle in a haystack, the king of Kent himself has a few war horses that are more than eighteen palms high, and he is willing to give them to Yang Feng for the sake of the country, but the problem is that Yang Feng's standard is nineteen palms! But just when they hesitated, Yang Feng captured a noble castle again, and this time brutally hanged all the men of the noble family, took all their women and became slaves, but rewarded a lot of money in the noble castle to the local poor, making the poor everywhere ready to move.

At this time, the king of Kent could only act quickly, and finally found a horse of nineteen palms in the stable of a great nobleman's house, and two similar horses in a monastery.

The great nobleman did contribute.

But the monastery refused!

Fortunately, King Yang was reasonable, and after the envoy of the king of Kent told him about the situation, he immediately sent a battalion of soldiers with cannons to pull over, and blasted the monastery open with cannonballs, and took away all the horses, including the two horses, and swept away all the money, and the monks made all their merits complete.

But there's still one horse missing.

This can be lenient, take four horses and eighteen palms instead!

Thus the mission of the Kingdom of Kent was accomplished.

Immediately afterwards, King Yang's army crossed the Thames and moved to Essex.

It's still routine.

He personally led a large army to break through the castles, hanged the nobles, took the women to eat, took away the wealth that was eye-catching, and distributed it to the people, and after only two castles, the king and nobles of Essex searched the whole country, and finally found him two horses of nineteen palms, and completed his task with four horses of eighteen palms and twenty horses of seventeen palms as compensation.

Then Yang Feng went straight to the next stop, Wessex.

The king of Wessex quickly sent his own envoys to carry a large number of livestock and grain, to meet his friends in the east on the border between the two countries, and even sent a delicate little beauty, for the sake of him being so sensible, King Yang also temporarily received supernatural powers, and the king of Wessex mobilized the whole country to search in its territory, but unfortunately only found one horse with nineteen palms and two horses with eighteen palms, and the rest had to be supplemented with a large number of seventeen palms, in short, it can be said that the best war horses in the country were all scavenged, wiped the cold sweat on his head and sent this demon away.

Then before Yang Feng came to the door, the people of East Anglia and Sussex sent all the war horses that could be scavenged with more than seventeen palms to London, but even this was not enough.

Fortunately, Yang Feng finally got kind.

If there are not enough horses, let's make up for the beauties!

It's all the same anyway.

In the end, together with Northumbria, the northernmost country, the Seven Kingdoms handed over to Yang Feng a total of six nineteen-palm-high war horses, thirty-two eighteen-palmed horses, more than one hundred seventeen-palmed horses, and more than 100 girls after Yang Feng's personal inspection, most of which were noble-born, even including a princess, after all, Yang Feng's vision was difficult to fool with those rough folk girls.
