Chapter 43: The Battle of Gaul

An interesting observation of the history of the Gallic rooster, i.e., France, is that almost all the famous battles in French history were won by French men.

As a result, it is often ridiculed online that France can only win wars if it is led by women and foreigners.

If you think about it, there is some truth to this.

In fact, there are many times in the history of the French army when the data is superior, but there are really not many classic war examples, but they often become negative teaching materials in classic war examples, just to name a few examples.

Hundred Years' War between England and France: The French army has the upper hand in the initial stage, but is defeated in Paris and lost. The key battle of the French army of 20,000 and the British army of 6,000 longbowmen, and now there is still the prestige of the British longbowmen, which is the army of an island country, just like the navy of landlocked countries, such as the famous "Seven Martial Seas of the King" of Mongolia.

Sino-French War: At that time, the Qing government had already made a nest, and as a result, France became the only great power that did not win against the Qing government, leaving behind a "great victory at Zhennanguan" to encourage the national self-improvement movement at the end of the Qing Dynasty at that time.

After talking about these classic failures, let's take a look at some of the most famous commanders in French history: the First Emperor of France, Napoleon, a Corsican (Italian); Joan of Arc, woman.

Even modern French football needs a huge share of football immigrants to win the World Cup and the European team championship - 1998 World Cup, 13/22, captain Zidane was born in Algeria; In the 2018 World Cup, 18/22 people, the popular Mbappe is of mixed Cameroon and Algerian descent.

And now, the most famous female commander in Gaul, Joan of Arc, is on her side, and her ability to command troops on this land can be described as breaking through the sky.

It seems that he is reckless, and when he sees the enemy, he rushes over with a team of vanguards to capture the flag, but in fact, he has won successive battles, and each time he can beat the enemy to collapse in the shortest possible time, but his own losses are very small.

In this way, the more you fight, the more courageous your side becomes, and the more frightened the enemy becomes, so that when you see Emperor Nero's Rose Banner, you will be three points weaker.

That's right, the Rose Emperor Banner is not the Angel Iris Banner.

From the time she set out, Joan of Arc had been in command of the army as Nero's stand-in. In Nero's words, we look so alike anyway that the soldiers can't see it at all.

So, Joan of Arc simply changed the flag and charged directly with Nero's imperial flag.

Of course, the extremely revealing Emperor's new clothes Joan of Arc refused. There are no outsiders in the palace to wear it, even if there are no outsiders to wear it, the pure saint who leads people to the battle will not do it anyway, she would rather change into a strict armor, this is the correct way for the general to go to the battlefield - not a servant or an ancient demigod, all superhuman, wear so little to go to the battlefield, looking for death?

In the days that followed, the Roman Empire witnessed a different kind of emperor, His Majesty, who led an army that was invincible and invincible.

Because Joan of Arc's performance was so brave, his peers Lixiang, Matthew, Marda, and even the real emperor Nero became foils. At first, he was able to contact some enemy troops, but later he couldn't even see the shadow of the enemy army, and hid in the carriage to watch Joan of Arc's performance the whole time.

In this way, Joan of Arc first relieved the siege of Mediolan, the gateway to the imperial capital, and then joined up with Massilia's expeditionary force, all the way to Gaul, the base camp of the enemy expeditionary force.

There, the United Imperial Army of the Five Times and his own side had long been in battle, but Joan of Arc had no intention of backing down and continued to implement her battle policy - "Reckless"!

With the most elite Emperor army, charge directly at the enemy's main formation, and no matter what obstacles you encounter, they will all collapse!

In just ten minutes, Joan of Arc had already led the team to cut through three lines of defense, and the attack speed was getting faster and faster, and it was about to drink the contact of the enemy's own team.

Seeing such a scene, the commander of the United Empire, who was sitting under the city of Gaul, a man who was about the same height and waist circumference, and said that he was more like a meat ball, opened his mouth and scolded.

"Idiots, a bunch of idiots, actually say this is the Roman Emperor? This could never have been a Roman emperor. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, you said so." The herald beside him echoed, "That's just a self-proclaimed puppet emperor, you are the real emperor." ”

"Idiot, I'm not talking about this, I'm saying she's not the emperor himself at all!"

"Not Nero? How so? There are many people in the army who have seen the puppet emperor, and it is impossible for that face to admit that mistake. ”

"Ah, the face should be right, but the face can be disguised, and even if it is not disguised, it can look like it. The world is so big that anything can happen. ”

"Then she's ——?"

"I don't know, I just know that she is a servant like me. In that case, there's no fuss about you not being able to defeat her. ”

"Your Majesty, what shall we do?"

"I order you, don't provoke that woman, just deal with it casually and retreat,"

However, the heralds were reluctant to carry out this order.

"But, however, we are the real soldiers of the United Roman Empire. If domination of Gaul is the intention of the gods, we must not retreat. ”

"Call you an idiot, you're an idiot." The commander of the meat ball looked helpless, "Are you in a hurry to find death?" Ordinary people like you can't defeat the servants, they will only die in vain, and I don't want to see the people of Rome die in vain, understand? This is my order, and disobedience is not allowed. ”

"Understood, Your Majesty." The herald can only bow his head and receive orders, and convey orders layer by layer.

It didn't take long for the commander to be left with no one left.

Looking at the empty position of his own side, and Joan of Arc and his party, the commander shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Really, one or two...... How capricious the gods are? Although there is nothing wrong with being defeated like this, I really want to see whether the emperors of this generation of Rome have the bearing to rule Rome, so let me resist a little. Caligula, Eric. ”

In the end, the fat man gathered from behind the man, and two majestic figures appeared.

The person on the left, with gold armor and a red cloak, walks a luxurious route similar to Nero's, and is none other than Nero's Roman emperor, the tyrant Caligula.

There is a person on the right, a shield in his left hand, a giant axe in his right hand, naked, and his breath is extremely fierce.

He is Eric, the Viking King who wielded the Blood Axe, who ruled Norway in the 9th century and was known as the "Blood Axe King".

The moment they appeared, the two of them raised their heads and roared at the same time, and their voices were so loud that they couldn't even suppress the shouts and kills on the battlefield.

The fat commander had a headache again: "Ahhhhh If you show Cleopatra, you'll be scared to death, oops, it's terrible. Forget it, you two, go make a big fuss and force the real Nero out. ”

PS: There is still a difference between Gauls and modern Frenchmen, but the Gallic rooster has become generally synonymous with France, so it is used this way first.
