Chapter 292: The Death of William in a Will

"Boom boom boom!"

A dense sound of gunfire sounded, and a large area of ​​soldiers from the front fell down. The Normandy deserters learned their lesson and all fled to the sides.

The commander of the Frank army did not know what was going on here, but when he saw the opponent's central army appear, he immediately issued an order to the whole team and pressed over in a square formation, hoping to take the central army in Normandy directly.

This dense military formation was exactly what Zhang Wei wanted. More than 5,000 people on his side formed a six-row square formation, with staggered positions, ensuring that two rows in front could hit the enemy every time, and the rest was to watch the other party quietly come.

Zhang Wei was extremely angry at this time, worried about William's injury and could not leave here, otherwise Normandy would be out of protection. He looked at the soldiers holding spears and swords and shields on the other side with a cold face, and wanted to vent all his anger.

The knights in front of the opponent were only a dozen steps away, and they could even clearly see the patterns on the weapons. Zhang Weicai roared: "Everyone opened fire!"

The messengers beside him waved the flag, and the sound of "booming" was heard in an instant. The nobles of Normandy widened their eyes, hoping that the miracle just now would appear again.

Sure enough, they did not disappoint their expectations. The Frank army fell in large numbers and was stunned for a moment. Even the commander opposite had forgotten his duties and watched the soldiers in front fall, while the soldiers behind fled in scattered and fled.

"What's going on?" Henry was very confused. He sat on the horse and stood on a high place, but he didn't see clearly, but where did this army that came out later emerge.

From a distance, you can see that this is definitely not a Normandy soldier, and the other party seems to have some magic, like a god of death. He just switched back and forth and took the lives of his soldiers.

Even crossbows should not have such an effect. The soldiers in front of Frank are also armor-piercing knights, unless the opponent is all sharpshooters and shoots in the head again and again, but this is impossible!

"Retreat first!" Henry yelled to the side, and the commander came to his senses and hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of troops.

At this time, the Frank army did not need his orders, and ran back as if they were running away, muttering:

"Devils! They are devils!"

"God! Is this the devil coming?"

"Run! They can spell it!"

"The Knights' heavy armor was penetrated, they are not humans!"

While Frank was busy reorganizing his army, the defeated soldiers in Normandy had just been gathered up, and both sides were suddenly in chaos. Only Zhang Wei's guards cleaned the gun chambers, reinstalled gunpowder, and stood on standby.

In the huge battlefield, only this team is not at all confused, standing horizontally and vertically. Just when Zhang Wei's order is issued, they will rush over and tear the opponent apart.

The nobles of Normandy also witnessed this magical scene and wanted Zhang Wei's people to continue chasing, but when they remembered the scene just now, they were a little scared and were stunned for a moment. Only one of them came to talk to Zhang Wei, but he ignored it.

William's life and death were uncertain. Although he saw Frank's army fleeing, Zhang Wei was unwilling to pursue him. Instead, he watched the other party retreat, and he hurriedly took his men to retreat to Normandy.

"How is William?" When Zhang Wei brought people back to the Duke's Mansion, many powerful people from Adelaide and Normandy were guarding the bed.

"Wuwuwu! The bishop has seen it for him!" Adelaide rushed into his arms and said, "The bishop said that you cannot pull out the arrow, otherwise William will die soon, but if he does not pull out the arrow, he will not be able to survive tonight!"

"Cough!" William coughed at this time, slowly opened his eyes, pierced it twice before he regained consciousness. He looked at the people around him and said weakly: "Fight...how?"

"The army of Frank has been repelled!" Oder took the lead, took William's hand, and said, "It was your friend from the East who took action, used magic, and defeated them!"

William's eyes were full of doubt, but when he heard the news of Frank being repelled, he felt much more at ease and said, "I... I'm afraid... I'm going to see God!"

Adelaide also came to the bed with Zhang Wei's support. Her eyes were covered in tears and she couldn't help falling down, saying, "My dear brother! You will definitely be fine!"

Mortan, who was standing beside him, also said sadly: "You have just been crowned. Don't say anything discouraged. The better we are, we will fight Scotland and Ireland?"

The British Isles are divided into two parts, among which William occupied the southern part of Britain, Scotland in the north, and Ireland across the sea. It is nominally part of the Norman Kingdom, but in fact it is still under the control of the Vikings and Western Saxons.

"I...I'm afraid I can't wait!" William began to breathe a little hard. He looked at the nobles around him, then looked at Adelaide and Zhang Wei, remembering what Oder said just now, the Frank army was repelled by Zhang Wei, and said, "You...really...you."

He wanted to ask how Zhang Wei defeated Frank and whether he could replicate it, but now he felt that his life was passing by rapidly, and he probably didn't have much time left.

He gasped for a few times, took a while, swallowed back all he wanted to ask, and announced directly: "After I die, the throne...my sister Adelaide, inherit...my throne!"

"No!" Adelaide broke free from Zhang Wei's arms and said, "Brother, don't say that, you will never be in trouble! I won't let you say that! Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

"Can Adelaide protect the glory of Normandy?" Unexpectedly, the first one to stand up to oppose his younger brother Ode. If William dies, he will have the right to inherit, just like William inherits after Edward's death. If William has his will, it would be natural.

But now William said he wanted to pass the throne to Adelaide!

Mortan also had a flash of expression at this time, and he echoed with guilt: "What Normandy needs is the real king, my brother!"

Many nobles looked at the two of them in surprise and looked at Adelaide again. However, when they saw Zhang Wei holding Adelaide, they frowned and pondered. Finally, they chose to shut up, and no one said anything more.

William ignored the two half-brothers. He looked at Zhang Wei and said with difficulty: "Zhang...please...help me...help me...take good care of them..."

Zhang Wei was silent for a moment and said solemnly: "Don't worry!"

William smiled relievedly, feeling that he was about to fail. He turned his head slightly and said in a lower voice: "I'm sorry...my dear...Matilda!"

Looking at his wife who had been crying silently, William's eyes were filled with gentleness. He stretched out his hand to touch Matilda's face, but his voice became quieter and smaller: "I can't spend my whole life with you... I'm sorry... I'm sorry."

"Dear William, don't say sorry, it's my greatest luck to marry you!" Matilda took his hand and rubbed his face full of tears.

William seemed to want to say something, but he could no longer speak. He smiled and tried hard to open his eyes and finally look at his lover, but the brilliance in his eyes was scattered bit by bit.

Then, a cry came from the room.
