1485, Charles III of England prepared a battle. The army led by Henry, Earl of Richmond, is coming, and the battle will decide who will rule Britain.
On the morning of the battle, Charlie sent a groom to prepare his favorite war horse.
"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 king's enemies are advancing. We must face the enemy on the battlefield. Use whatever you have. "
The blacksmith buried himself in his work, took four horseshoes from an iron bar, flattened them, shaped them, fixed them on the horseshoes, and then began to nail. After nailing three palms, he found that no nail could hit the fourth palm.
"I need one or two nails," he said. "It will take some time to play two."
"I tell you, I can't wait," said the groom eagerly. "I heard the sound of the bugle. Can you make do with it? "
"I can nail horseshoes, but I can't be as strong as others."
"Can you hang up?" Asked the groom.
"I think so," replied the blacksmith, "but I'm not sure."
"Well, that's it," cried the groom. "Hurry up, or the king will blame us both."
When the two armies met, King Charles took the lead and urged the soldiers to meet the enemy. "Go, go!" He shouted and led the troops to the enemy's defense. Far away, he saw several of his own soldiers retreating on the other side of the battlefield. If others saw them like this, they would retreat, so Charlie rode his horse to the gap and told the soldiers to turn around and fight.
Before halfway, a horseshoe fell, his horse fell to the ground, and Charlie was also thrown to the ground.
King Xue missed the reins again, and the frightened beast jumped up and ran away. Charlie looked around, his soldiers turned and retreated, and the enemy surrounded him.
He waved his sword in the air. "Horse!" He shouted: "A horse, my country was subverted because of this horse."
He has no horse to ride, his army has fallen apart, and the soldiers have their own problems. In a short time, the enemy captured Charlie and the battle was over.
Since then, people have said:
A nail is missing, a horseshoe is missing,
A horseshoe is missing, a war horse is lost,
Lost a battle without horses,
Lost a battle and lost a country.
All the losses are due to the lack of a horseshoe nail.
This famous legend comes from the historical fact that Charles III of England abdicated. 1485 Defeated in the Battle of Bosworth. Shakespeare's famous sentence "Horse, horse, one horse loses the country!" Let this battle go down in history forever.
