章節 261: Chen Xiaolian’s Army Part 1

The soldiers were sweeping across the battlefield.

The result of the battle was undoubtedly glorious.

According to the information gained from the interrogation of the prisoners, this vanguard army from London was composed of 900 men in total. Most of them were ordinary freemen who responded to the King’s call to arms – that was the most common method of recruiting soldiers in the medieval period.

Another portion of the army consisted of the royal army loyal to King Harold. They were the professional soldiers of this era.

The corpses found on the battlefield amounted up to nearly 400. As for prisoners, there were a total of 136 prisoners.

All in all, this battle succeeded in wiping out over half the number of the enemy soldiers.

This was undoubtedly a huge victory.

The losses sustained by the Norman army were relatively much lower.

The one to face the biggest loss was Chen Xiaolian’s mercenary team.
