6, enter the French site

Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world.

No matter when this sentence is placed, it is a true saying.

For Scott, no matter what these soldiers think, at least they are very loyal to themselves on the surface. With this, these people are enough to make Scott honest. After all, these people are the biggest support for the Scott family's supreme leadership after returning to England.

It can be said that in the Middle Ages of Western Europe, the strength of the private military and private economic strength directly determined whether a noble had the right to speak and vote, and directly determined the status of a noble in English politics.

You should know that even if you have a noble background, if you do not have the support of the matching military force, others can undermine you in minutes. Scott is very clear about this historical lesson.

So looking back at his army of more than 100 people, Scott was worried that the number of troops under his command was still too small. It seemed that the number of troops must be expanded in the future.

With anxiety and longing, Scott spent the night in a daze, and early the next morning, Scott went to Malfoy to ask for a farewell.

Although Malfoy was determined to stop Scott's military operations, when Scott said that everything was for His Majesty the King, Malfoy could only bow his head and give in.

After replenishing a lot of supplies in the camp, Scott and his men went west.

After walking about five miles away, Scott ordered the soldiers to change into French costumes: "We are about to enter the territory controlled by the French. Now let's change into your clothes quickly. After entering the Chartre area, don't talk anymore, to prevent your English accent from betraying your identity. Do you understand?"

The soldiers agreed and quickly changed their clothes.

Immediately afterwards, the group crossed the border between Caen and Chartre and officially entered the territory of the French.

According to Scott's plan, the destination of this trip is mainly some wealthy small towns or villages, such as the Orleans region, and the Valois region. If possible, enter the suburbs of Paris to harass. After all, the entire French Kingdom region is the richest and richest.

After making plans, Scott was about to turn around and give orders, but when he turned around, he saw the soldiers behind him shrank and timidly. They were holding weapons and looking around carefully, as if they were patrolling soldiers, scouts entering strange areas.

Seeing them like this, Scott was furious and said, "How can you walk with your hands and feet? Can't you walk more generously? You know, we are wearing French clothing at this moment, and we are the French army. Have you ever seen any French soldier walking on the territory of his own country? It's hard for you to be like this even if others don't want to find us."

Adjutant Leo quickly admonished beside him: "We should imagine that we are French at this moment, show the momentum we were walking in England, raise our chests and raise our heads, and strode forward."

With the emphasis of Scott and Leo, the soldiers behind him then relaxed and quickly adjusted their tense state to a relaxed state.

Looking at their chest-raising and striking their heads, Scott nodded with satisfaction: "By the way, that's it, go and keep going."

It has to be said that the Hundred Years of War in Britain and France caused too much damage to Britain and France, and it especially caused great harm to the Kingdom of France. At least at this moment, the group had been walking for a long time, but they still did not see several prosperous villages, nor did they see a few people.

The road is full of abandoned farmland, and weeds are growing everywhere in the farmland. Compared with the prosperous grass and trees in the farmland, the soil on the road is very solid and flat. It is obvious that there are too many people walking, and the soil has been thickened.

"Sir, we did not take the wrong route, right? Why are there no figure at all?" Walking on the quiet road, all the soldiers were puzzled.

Scott shook his head and said, "We did not go wrong on our route. This road is the road leading to the Orleans area. It's just that the disaster caused by the war is so great that it is so sparsely populated here. When we passed by, didn't you see some dilapidated villages?"

Leo nodded beside him: "Yes, who could have thought that this was once a prosperous area?"

The group walked for nearly three days, and it was not until dusk on the fourth day that they saw the people ahead.

"Leo, send scouts to check it out quickly." Looking at the crowds ahead, Scott felt excited: "I think there should be a wealthy village ahead."

Leo nodded and quickly sent three or four scouts to explore in front, while the large army continued to move forward slowly behind.

After about thirty minutes, several scouts ran back excitedly: "Sir, there is a big village ahead, and there are three or four hundred people in the village."

Skoita asked again: "It's indeed big enough. Is there any military force in the village?"

"We looked around and found no trace of the army," a scout said uncertainly: "In addition, we found that this place seemed to be a reserve warehouse for the French, because I vaguely heard the sound of a blacksmith."

"Is that so? Explore it again." Scott waved and ordered.

After the scouts left, Scott said to Leo: "Let everyone prepare for battle."

Leo nodded: "Yes, Sir."

With a command, all the soldiers picked up their weapons, sorted out their armor, and then ran forward quickly.

When he was about a mile away from the village, Scott suppressed the army: "Wait for a moment for the scouts to make a news."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several scouts and several farmers running over at a very fast speed.

Looking at the French peasants, Leo said next to him: "It seems that the situation has changed! It seems that they have not had any conflicts with the French."

Scotty said: "Let all soldiers who can speak French stand behind, and all soldiers who can speak French without English accent come up, and then look at me and act according to the opportunity."

A minute later, the sent scouts and several French farmers had already come over. As soon as they approached, the scouts immediately knelt down and communicated with Scott in French:
