第五章:英雄的崛起 Chapter Five: The Rise of a Hero 威廉的反抗,很快不再只是一个村庄的故事。 William’s resistance soon became more than a single village’s story. 苏格兰各地的人开始听到他的名字。 People across Scotland began to hear his name. 他们听说,有一个人敢于对抗英格兰的统治。 They heard of a man who dared to stand against English rule. 越来越多的村民,主动来寻找威廉。 More villagers came to find William on their own. 他们带着恐惧,也带着希望。 They came with fear, but also with hope. 威廉并没有自称为领袖。 William did not call himself a leader. 但人们自然地站在了他的身旁。 Yet people naturally stood beside him. 他教他们如何战斗,如何团结。 He taught them how to fight and how to stand together. 农夫、牧民、普通百姓,开始组成队伍。 Farmers, shepherds, and ordinary people formed groups. 他们不再为自己而战。 They were no longer fighting only for themselves. 他们开始为自由而战。 They began to fight for freedom. 英格兰军队轻视了这支队伍。 The English army underestimated this force. 他们认为这些人只是乌合之众。 They believed them to be nothing more than a mob. 但在战斗中,情况完全改变了。 But in battle, everything changed. 威廉的勇气让人们无所畏惧。 William’s courage made people fearless. 他的战术出人意料。 His tactics were unexpected. 英军第一次在正面交锋中失败。 The English army suffered its first defeat in open combat. 胜利迅速传遍苏格兰。 Victory spread quickly across Scotland. 人们开始称威廉为英雄。 People began to call William a hero. 而他自己,只想着继续前行。 And he himself thought only of moving forward. |
