"Hurry up and nail it," the groom said to the blacksmith. "The king wants to take the lead on it."
"You have to wait," replied the blacksmith. "I nailed all the horses in Wang Jun the other day, and now I have to find some iron pieces."
I can't wait. The groom shouted impatiently.
The blacksmith buried himself in his work, took four horseshoes from an iron bar, flattened them, fixed them on the horseshoes, and then began to nail. After nailing three palms, he found that there were no nails to nail the fourth palm.
The blacksmith was going to hammer the horseshoe, but at the urging of the groom, he had to hang the horseshoe under his hoof.
The two armies met, and King Richard was in the army. He took the lead in directing the soldiers to face the enemy.
Far away, he saw his soldiers retreating on the other side of the battlefield. If others saw them like this, they would retreat, so Richard quickly rushed to the gap and called the soldiers to turn and fight.
Before he was halfway there, the hanging horseshoe fell, the horse fell to the ground and Richard was thrown to the ground.
The frightened beast jumped up and ran away before the king grabbed the reins. Richard looked around, his soldiers turned and retreated, and Henry's army surrounded him.
He waved his sword in the air. "Horse!" He shouted: "A horse, my country was subverted because of this horse."
After that, there was a folk song in Europe:
A nail is missing, and a horseshoe is missing;
Lost a horseshoe and disabled a war horse;
Lame a war horse and lose a battle;
Lost a battle and lost a country.
