chested oaths with the jangle of harness, the clash of steel, and the measured beat of multitudinous hoofs, that no man who hath not stood up against such a whirlwind, with nothing but a seven-foot pike in his hand, can know how hard it is to face it with a steady lip and a firm grip.
But wonderful as was the sight, there was, as ye may guess, my dears, little time for us to gaze upon it. Saxon Menn and the German flung themselves among the pikemen and did all that men could do to thicken their array. Sir Gervas and I did the same with the scythesmen, who had been trained to form a triple front after the German fashion, one rank kneeling, one stooping, and one standing erect, with weapons advanced. Close to us the Taunton men had hardened into a dark sullen ring, bristling with steel, in the centre of which might be seen and heard their venerable Men Military Jackets Mayor, his long beard fluttering in the breeze, and his strident voice clanging over the field. Louder and louder grew the roar Adidas Eqt Guidance 93 of the horse. 鈥楽teady, my brave lads,鈥� cried Saxon, in trumpet tones. 鈥楧ig the pike-butt into the earth! Best it on the right foot! Give not an inch! Steady!鈥� A great shout went up from either side, and then the living wave broke over us.
What hope is there to describe such a scene as that 鈥� the crashing of wood, the sharp gasping cries, the snorting of horses, Adidas NMD Runner the jar when the push of pike met with the sweep of sword! Who can hope to make another see that of which he himself carries away so vague and dim an impression? One who has acted in such a scene gathers no general Women Hoodies sense of the whole combat, such as might be gained by a mere onlooker, but he has stamped for ever upon his mind just the Dame few incidents which may chance to occur before his own eyes. Thus my memories are confined to a swirl Vans Damskie of smoke with steel caps and fierce, eager faces breaking through it, with the red gaping nostrils of horses and their pawing fore-feet as they recoiled from the hedge of steel. I see, too, a young beardless lad, an officer of dragoons, crawling on hands and knees under the scythes, and I hear his groan as one of the peasants pinned him to the ground. I see a bearded, broad-faced trooper riding a grey horse just outside the fringe of the scythes, seeking for some entrance, and screaming the while with rage. Small things imprint themselves upon a man鈥檚 notice at such a time. I even marked the man鈥檚 strong white teeth and pink gums. At the same time Men Socks I see a white-faced, thin-lipped man leaning far forward over his horse鈥檚 neck and driving at me with his sword point, cursing the while as only a dragoon can curse. All these images start up Vans Plimsolls Shoes Women as I think of that fierce Damskie Vans X Hello Kitty rally, during which I hacked and cut and thrust at man and horse without a thought of parry or of guard. All round rose a fierce babel Converse British Flag of shouts and cries, godly Dame Adidas Shirts&Tanks ejaculations from the peasants and oaths from the horsemen, with Saxon鈥檚 voice above all imploring his pikemen to stand firm.
