As the British troops massed to the north of
the town, the captain of the guards gave shot to the French
troops to stand too and defend the hamlets "house of pleasure".
As the British deployed, the bold captain of the Cuirassiers of
Killver gave an almighty shout ...
"Cry havoc and let rip the mutts of war ...
huzzzahhhhh"
... and charged right into the British lines,
where he and his men where slaughter from rifle fire before they
even got to the French gun crew! (Nice move - NOT!!)
As word of this came to Marshal Mütton,
he sprung up from the warm bosom of Bette Ho, put on his pants,
mounted his horse (no jokes please!!!) and joined his
gallant orcs as they moved on the British tree huggers.
Volley after volley fell too and from both
sides, until General Wellboot had been hit and wounded with a
sharpshooters musket and scarped, quick sharp off the table!
The British moral was in tatters. Odd advances by Sharke
and his boys was a brave attempt to gain some ground, but under
heavy cannon fire, they too fell. The British light
cavalry tried a sneak attack on the guns, but where shot to
pieces, ending up so badly shaken all they could do was ride
about the war table!
With the retreat of the British general,
Marshal Mütton was victorious
... "Now back to the spoils of war, and don't disturb me for the
rest of the day ... I'll be on the job!!!" ... and with
that, left the French soldiers tidy up the mess! |
