Siege of London


There stood the general on the top of the hill vigilant of the massacre that was about to occur. A hoard of english heavy cavalry threatened a french line of infantry. The general had ordered their retreat, but those incompetent soldiers stood their place thinking their number would win against the force of a cavalry charge. A reckless decision on their part, nevertheless the cavalry swooped the soldiers into the air making the line violate formation and scatter with no success. The english rounded the remaining french soldiers who were at the end forced to capitulate. The general, with his army cut in half, retreated into the city. The siege lasted three more days, and at the end the city of London was under english control.
