"Hussars?"

Seeing that the other party did not use heavy cavalry to charge as he imagined, Joan of Arc frowned, and saw that the three thousand hussars were separated in two columns, and then they turned around and detoured back to the two flanks of the battlefield, aiming at the weak volunteers in the middle and a rain of arrows.

"Cavalry, drive them out."

Seeing that the opponent used the mobility of the lightly armed cavalry to perform such harassing tactics, Joan of Arc had no choice but to transfer half of the heavy cavalry that was originally used for counterattack, hoping to expel the Norman professional hussars.

The knights had long since lost their patience and straddled their horses, but when they approached the hussars, the Norman hussars turned again and galloped farther away.

The knights were undecided, but they were knocked down by a rain of arrows from the hussars, and they lost a few troops.

Seeing that the enemy hussars were shouting and laughing not far away, and at the same time attacking themselves with bows and arrows, the French knights could not bear such insults, and rushed over with shouts, and in this way chased and fled, and soon left the main battlefield.

Front......

The Finnish light cavalry heard the sound of the trumpet of retreat from the main camp and also whistled and retreated, but the French army held its ground under Joan of Arc's strict orders and did not pursue it.

In this way, the first round is considered to be in the past.

However, after the group of French knights chased halfway, they sneered, turned to retreat under the leadership of their own noble lords, and never returned to the battlefield.

Joan of Arc suppressed her deep uneasiness, and looked to the other side, but there were still no hoplites, only a wall of shields made up of a large number of professional Viking warriors, guarding the longbowmen and crossbowmen to range.

The crossbowmen stepped forward to form a three-column formation of crossbowmen, and the longbowmen stretched their bows under the command of Robin Hood, and then the crossbows and arrows of what the French called a downpour flew in.

Seeing the rain of arrows hitting the apocalyptic scene, the French were in an uproar, some with shields to protect their heads, and some with armor to resist with armor, but the vast majority of the French volunteers had no armor and suffered heavy casualties under the suppression of longbows and crossbows.

At this point, Joan of Arc understood that in addition to the number of cavalry under his command, there is another judgment variable that determines whether to attack or defend in a battle, that is, the number of long-range attack forces!

When the opponent's long-range attack ability exceeds the limit of what it can bear, there is no other way than to turn defense into offense, and under such a rain of arrows, if you don't close the distance and engage in hand-to-hand combat, then the morale and soldiers of the army will be gradually weakened.

So......

"Offensive !!"

Little by little, the situation was out of Joan of Arc's control, and the opposing projection forces quickly withdrew after the approach of their own army, while a large number of professional Viking warriors in the rear pushed forward.

The shining armor, the uniform red background black dragon overall, the heavy hoplite array, with the thousand-man team as the basic unit, highly organized like the ancient Roman legions, a thousand people stepped together in a neat pace, like a mountain-like posture, so that the French felt suffocating pressure in an instant.

Randy snorted lightly and wasted no time in unleashing Hades Scream stunts.

An air of despair hung over the battlefield, and the French wailed at this moment, even thinking that they were fighting against Satan, discarding the short contradiction cards and falling to their knees, weeping bitterly and weeping countless people, and fear spread like a virulent contagion among the French army.

After the brutality value rose again, Randy's range of influence also increased significantly, basically covering the entire battlefield, up to seventeen stars of brutality, the strong suppression of the Norman army, and the skill stunts of Hades Scream.

It is not surprising that the French army collapsed before it could be fought.

But it doesn't end there, and if it does, then Randy's show won't be able to continue......

"Liberty and glory of France!"

The Norman army was so strong, Joan of Arc drew his sword and fought it head-on, and the stunt shone with holy light that shrouded the audience, and the morale and defense of the French army increased significantly, and their physical strength was replenished, and they were once again capable of fighting.

As soon as the armies of the two sides came into contact, the guns broke and the flags were broken, and the swords and axes were slashed.

The war is heating up!

Red-black like a wave......

The Normans in waves......

Waves of hoplites......

Joan of Arc finally understands why Randy is invincible, and even if he wants to lose, it will be difficult.

And Randy is the one who wants to lose, but is extremely difficult to lose!

But fortunately, there is also Joan of Arc, who Artoria had heard before that Joan of Arc is a figure whose personal strength is enough to defy the sky, and Randy has quite confidence in her, but at this time Joan of Arc is still hesitant to face the battlefield.

Watch her carefully trained hook axe soldiers defeat at the hands of the Norman warriors,

In all aspects, whether it is in terms of quantity, equipment, or combat ability, it is not comparable to others, if this can win, there will be ghosts, and the French rebels, these high-level rabble, are unlikely to be the opponents of the Norman professional troops.

The longbowmen retreated to the second line and continued to shoot, although slightly less powerful, but still extremely lethal to the unarmored volunteers, while the Norman heavy cavalry on both sides of the battlefield began to assemble one after another, seemingly to charge the French army on both flanks.

In such an extremely unfavorable situation, there was only one way Joan of Arc could come up with to turn the tide of the battle.

"Knights, charge! Stop those Norman knights! ”

Joan of Arc sent some of the remaining knights to block the Norman heavy cavalry that attacked his flanks, but Joan of Arc knew very well that all the heavy cavalry under his command plus the servants and mercenaries were only more than 1,800, and it took half of the hussars to drive out the hussars before, and now only half was left in his own hands, and the other side seemed to have three to four thousand heavy cavalry, such a number was not something that the French knights could resist anyway.

By now, Joan of Arc has regretted holding this battle.

And the goal of this battle has also dropped from winning to not losing.

The war continued, and Joan of Arc didn't know how the nine hundred French knights, who were uneven in combat effectiveness, could resist them, and how long would it take for the Norman knights to be four times as large as them?

About ten minutes? Or thirty minutes?

There is only one way to turn the tide of the battle, and that is to ......

"Charge the whole army!"

Joan of Arc gave the order for the whole army to charge, and the heavily armed French guards, armed with two-handed war hammers, rushed forward, while Joan of Arc herself mounted his horses and rushed to the front.

On both sides of the battlefield, after a short meeting between the French noble cavalry and the Norman cavalry, they could not support the rout, although they still had extremely strong combat capabilities, and Joan of Arc also rushed to the front line first!

Randy stared at Joan of Arc as he began to order the frontline troops to retreat little by little.

On both flanks, several charges of the Norman hoplites, although very powerful, were actually only point-to-point, and did not cause much casualties, but despite this, the French nobles, who were commanders, commanded their troops to retreat, fleeing with their retainers and peasants......

Joan of Arc was surprised to find that the Norman Legion was not as tough as she had imagined!

He only killed a few enemies, and he retreated in an orderly manner, or fled......

"God willing! Sure enough, all reactionaries are paper tigers! ”

Ultimately, Joan of Arc blames the state of affairs on the back-to-back and religious aspects.

Charge......

Slaughter......

Charge......

An extremely strange scene was played out on the battlefield......

The French army and the Norman army retreated at the same time, and Randy saw this scene, and the king who led the scene turned up the corners of his mouth and showed a very mischievous smile, and then focused all his attention on Joan of Arc.

It was a very strange feeling, completely different from Artoria's, or rather the opposite, Joan of Arc's appearance on the battlefield was another charming and graceful gesture, unlike Artoria's penchant for slashing, slashing the ground with blood flowing down the ground, so that the best way to engage in violent warfare, Joan of Arc's moves were extremely precise, extremely slight, and extremely deadly.

Stabbing at the throat of the enemy, quickly retracting the sword and never making any superfluous movements.

This kind of killing even gives people an artistic enjoyment, while Joan of Arc kills the other party, the kind of repentance mixed with anger, repentance mixed with pain, pain mixed with some joyful expressions, looks very cute, Randy even thinks that if he is killed by such a girl, maybe it will be a pleasure.

The warriors under his command who were killed by the other party didn't seem to be so painful, and his expression was unusually calm, maybe he could be killed by her and even enter heaven!

Randy couldn't help but have such delusions......

"Bishop, how is this woman?" Randy turned his head and asked Peter, the Norman archbishop and chief priest of the Field Order.

"Rival!" Peter nodded, acknowledging Joan of Arc, frowning and opening his mouth without saying anything.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"If this woman is born a man, she can wear a triple crown!"

"Really? Hehehe......"

"Baron, what is your point of view?"

Death Knight Captain Alpha was silent for a few seconds, and responded: "One ride is a thousand, and there is no difference between it and Her Majesty the Queen." ”

"You mean, you're no match for him?"

"On the battlefield, the situation is changing!"

Randy chuckled lightly, turned around and said, "Let's discuss this kind of thing next time we meet, if we are caught by a girl, it will be very embarrassing." ”

"If you escape, you will also lose face." Nearby, Archbishop Peter was a little dissatisfied.

"Hahahaha, it's not a big deal, anyway, the final victory belongs to us after all."

After saying this, Randy retreated with his core and backbone, and the Norman legions that were fighting immediately began to shrink their positions a little bit, the hoplites stopped attacking the French flanks, and the reserves of the second and third arrays also began to turn away, and the entire Norman army began to collapse.

"What's the situation?"

Joan of Arc would be very surprised that the enemy army collapsed inexplicably, but the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and she didn't have much time to think about it, and the overall combat effectiveness of the Norman army was far superior to that of the French army, so there was no need to make such an inexplicable move, so the probability of defeat was very low.

"This must be God's blessing!"

Joan of Arc, as a devout believer, used this justification and used it to motivate the soldiers.

"Under God's blessing, the Normans have been defeated, and the soldiers have charged with me."

Encouraged by Joan of Arc's generosity, the soldiers around him cheered and rushed towards the fleeing Norman army all over the hills.

However, because she was in the middle of the army, Joan of Arc did not see the French army under her command at all, and rushed forward to kill the enemy, but fled in a similar confusion as the Normans.

Written by the Norman King Randy von Hoffmann and the French King Philip II Augustus, and performed by the entire army of Noman and the entire nobility of France, this greatest deception of the entire Middle Ages was thus successful.

Randy's spy network throughout the continent was eager to spread the truth about the defeat of the Norman kingdom in large quantities, and at the same time, the Vatican Holy See, the Norman kingdom sent envoys stationed in the Papal States, and priests pleaded with the Holy See to mediate the war priest Gregor burst into tears, claiming that the battle was a tragedy between the brothers of Christ, a human tragedy that Christ could not bear to see, and that it was the duty of our clergy to stop the continuation of the war.

The diplomat Setis was constantly lobbying, offering generous gifts to the heads of various departments of the Holy See, imploring them to speak to Pope Innocent III.

Rumors that the Norman kingdom was defeated by the French Messiah and that King Randy had fled in embarrassment spread as quickly as possible.

After a long day of chasing, Joan of Arc finally realized that something was wrong.

The French soldiers gathered around her numbered only a few hundred, and they were exhausted and extremely tenacious, but that was all she could wield.

What's going on here?

Joan of Arc doesn't give up, or she still has illusions!

There is not one in the 30,000 French army, is this battle really the winner?

What should I do next? Retreat? But Paris is just around the corner!

Unwilling! Really unwilling! Victory is clearly only one step away!

The huge contrast between the ideal and the reality made Joan of Arc feel a little in a trance, angry, unwilling, and then mad and destroyed.

"Let's move on! Target Paris, soldiers follow me, we can continue to fight. Joan of Arc finally made such a decision.

This surprised Randy!

In fact, Randy never wanted to fulfill his agreement with Philip II, and a character like Joan of Arc is indeed a headache for all feudal lords, so wouldn't it be nice to leave this headache to his enemies?

So when Joan of Arc herself arrives and appears outside Paris with hundreds of exhausted soldiers, Randy's surprise can be imagined.

"Is she crazy?"

How can such a move be said if it can be described without such words as crazy?

Assertive? Reverent? Tragic as martyrs?

Wouldn't he become a complete villain?

Maybe Joan of Arc has understood something, or maybe she's come to her senses!

For example, he used his own death to inspire the French people and arouse that little bit of blood in their hearts.

France does not lack generals who can fight well, nor does it lack soldiers and food, what France lacks is morale, and it is a noble idol who can dedicate his life to it.

If that were the case, then a grand trial, like the one in which the Jews interrogated the Son Jesus, is a very good subject.

Then came the mourning of the whole country, the canonization of the Holy See, and the anger of the French people, who were united in their efforts to expel the foreign invaders.

If you think about it this way, the dead Joan of Arc is definitely more useful than the living Joan of Arc.

"What are you kidding? Isn't this driving people to their deaths? If you want to be a hero and take it easy, you want me to be an executioner? ”
