The sun in the sky is very face-saving, and tries its best to shine light and heat on the earth, but the two sides above and below the city of Orleans do not appreciate it.

The hot weather added a lot of difficulties to this war.

Even if the soldiers of Orleans City have invested a lot of energy, they still can't stop the gradual fall of Orleans City.

In particular, the massive artillery fire, and the unwanted attacks of the Catholic soldiers, almost cost them their lives.

Originally, the city wall was relatively smooth after restoration, but at this time it was pitted, and the sackcloth on the faces of ordinary people was very ugly from a distance.

On top of that, the gates, which had been secured, had suffered huge losses.

After a huge crash that took more than three hours and killed and injured hundreds, it finally came to the city gates.

The gates of Orleans were made of heavy wood, covered with a layer of iron sheets, and the black light glittered, making them look very strong.

It is not as tall and wide as in China, but it is very small and stubby.

Despite its location, Orleans was built not for commerce, but as a fortress.

Although the citizens later won the right to self-government, the city gates and castles remained unchanged, and the merchants still endured the queues and slow pace.

At this time, the narrow city gate played a very good role in the war, and the cumbersome city gate became a difficulty.

But in the face of such difficulties in the collision, the soldiers beside him, and even the Duke of Guise, who was in command in the rear, still did not give up and did whatever it took to break through.

So, after paying the price of casualties in almost every second, after half an hour of impact, the Orleans Gate finally came to an end and completed its mission.

The heavy and narrow gate was constantly pounded by the crash, revealing a gap in the door panel, the width of a man's head.

In this way, the morale of the soldiers pushing and crashing the car was greatly increased, and they used all their strength to eat milk and expand the results of the battle.

At the same time, the city of Orleans kept falling, like hailstones.

Rumble! Boom –

The sound of the human body falling is much more terrifying than hail.

The corpses fell from under the city, and some of them directly cracked, and the blood was sprinkled layer after layer as if it didn't need money, and the original black-brown land was recolored.

Heads, arms, thighs, spears, shields, and arrows were nourished by the oil of fire, and under the city, one by one, burning one by one, and it was difficult to extinguish.

On a hot moon day, the scorching sun was not enough, coupled with the intensification of some fires, the soldiers on both sides were sweating one by one, and their bodies were wet, and they didn't know whether it was sweat or blood.

In the rear position, the Duke of Guise stared intently ahead, not even caring about the messy beard, and the rest of his whole body was on the city of Orleans.

"Hurry up and inform that after the victory of the siege, the one who plunders for three days, and the one who ascends first, if he does not die, will be a knight!"

"Whoever takes down any nobleman or even an officer, he will be rewarded with ten gold coins!"

"No one is allowed to retreat, and those who retreat without permission will be killed by the gendarmerie!"

…………

A series of orders for reward or punishment popped out of Duke Guise's mouth one by one, and the herald was so busy that he couldn't bother to drink his saliva.

"How are the English?" Duke Guise frowned, as if remembering something, and asked.

"My lord, the English are slowly filling the pit, and in less than two days, I'm afraid they will all come out!"

Hearing this, the Duke of Vendôme on the side couldn't help laughing, and the flesh on his face twitched one after another, it seemed that he couldn't help it.

"Thanks to this Mr. Morris from Paris for his advice to us, otherwise we would not have thought of such a good method, and more importantly, he also sent us a large amount of food to solve our food shortage!"

After more than a month of siege, the city of Orleans was still full of food and grass, and the Catholic Allied army of more than 10,000 people ate and chewed horses, and the food bottomed out.

As he spoke, Duke Guise pointed to the side, a restless middle-aged man, dressed as a businessman, cowering in the corner, but at a glance, he was a shrewd and sleek businessman.

"This is what I should do!" The merchant touched the smooth scalp on top of his head and said with a smile and a little nervousness.

"As devout Catholics, it is what we should do to deal with these heresies and do what we can!"

Duke Guise squinted at his sly smile, showed a hint of a smile, and said kindly:

"Mr. Morris, for you to serve the royal family and my lord so much, after the city of Orleans is captured, I recommend you to His Majesty the King, the baron will not be able to escape!"

In this regard, Morris immediately showed a surprised expression, and hurriedly bent his waist at ninety degrees, his forehead was about to touch the ground, and hurriedly thanked.

Then consciously go to the corner without a look.

The Duke of Vendôme on the side watched coldly, and he was not happy for a merchant to become a nobleman, but it was also a forced way to alleviate the food shortage with a court baron.

At this moment, news suddenly came from the front, and the city gate was broken.

In this way, a smile suddenly flowed on Duke Guise's face, and victory was in his hands.

After the city gate was breached, although the door hole had been blocked, it was much more convenient to make sense.

Moreover, this is a real blow to the morale of the city of Orleans.

It can be said that victory is at hand.

Sure enough, not long after the city gate was breached, many Catholic troops climbed up at the top of the city.

Then, like ants, the Catholic army quickly encroached on the city of Orleans, gradually suppressing the Huguenots.

The soldiers in the back also climbed up quickly, and then the number accumulated to a certain number, and before the gate hole was clear, the head of Orleans was occupied by the Catholic army.

In this way, the Duke of Guise and the Duke of Vendôme, who were in the headquarters, immediately walked out, and with the support of the guards, led the remaining more than 2,000 soldiers to give the city of Orleans the final blow.

At this time, when the merchant from Paris watched His Excellency the Duke move forward, he also quietly changed into a cavalry armor and silently followed behind the Duke of Guise.

Half an hour later, the Catholic soldiers at the head of the city went down to the city, and the Huguenot soldiers who were still guarding the doorway cooperated with the Catholic soldiers in front of the doorway, and the doorway was opened.

At this time, the Duke of Guise and the Duke of Vendôme rode ahead and entered the city of Orleans with great pride.

Looking at the Duke of Guise who was about ten meters in front of him, the Parisian merchant Morris took out a cylinder from his pocket and pointed it at the Duke of Guise in front of him.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the city gate, his eyes narrowed, his heart was calm, his mouth puffed up, and he aimed at the neck of the Duke of Guise, and his heart was horizontal, and he blew hard.

"Whoosh-"

The sound of piercing the air was drowned out by the shouting, and a small short arrow the length of a finger hit Duke Guise directly.

His Excellency was chatting happily with Duke Vendôme on the side with his mouth open, when he suddenly felt a cold on his neck.

Then he rolled his eyes, revealing the whites of his eyes, and fell directly off the horse.
