Chapter 262: Soldiers are coming to the city
Although the weather was a threat to Joan of Arc's artillery, the ankle-deep water was also a great problem for the anti-Chastity army, and the soldiers who were barefoot or in bad shoes could not walk, let alone the knights in heavy armor who accidentally stepped into the pit.
They didn't know that it was a large-scale rain cloud summoned by Li Ji with immortal arts, which was just a good cover for their retreat.
By the time the anti-chastity alliance realized that all Joan of Arc's troops had left, leaving behind a dilapidated city of Paris, it would be too late to catch up, and even, compared with the enemy, most of the visionless petty nobles and ordinary soldiers valued the "rich" Paris that could be plundered, and felt that it was an opportunity for them to make a fortune, and had no interest in asking for hardships and pursuing the difficult Joan of Arc.
In addition to airships, cannons, and machine guns, the superfluous weapons of the Age were destroyed in Paris along with the factory, so there is no need to worry about anyone getting the wreckage to decipher anything.
So the army of five thousand was not hindered too much, and after two days and two nights of marching, they crossed more than a hundred kilometers and approached the vicinity of Orleans.
At this time, a new round of fierce fighting was breaking out outside the city of Orleans, and the two sides of the battle were the remaining less than 4,000 troops in the city of Orleans, and the 50,000 troops of the anti-chastity alliance.
In the history of this era, it is already an out-and-out war.
Sword of the Victory Oath!
A few kilometers away, they saw a pillar of energy slashing into the sky, representing the knight king's Noble Phantasm attack.
"Is that your reinforcement?" Joan of Arc seemed to recognize something, and said to Li Ji meaningfully: "Is the stupid king fighting for us this time?" Then I'll allow such a fool to exist. ”
After she finished speaking, she faced the army behind her and motioned to Napoleon.
Lori climbed onto Joan of Arc's war horse, only by standing on the war horse, the soldiers behind could see Lori's petite figure, otherwise it would definitely be ignored by everyone.
"Listen, my soldiers, we have abandoned Paris, and that is not a defeat, but a new beginning, because I have led you to a more glorious victory, see? There was an alliance of the Duke of Burgundy, thinking that they could destroy our will, and unfortunately all of them were on our side. ”
"Behind you, there is a saint who saves the country, a future French emperor, a sage who knows fate, a saint, a knight king, do you know how lucky you are?"
After Napoleon's speech, the voice was transmitted to the hearts of all the soldiers, depriving them of their rationality and turning into a huge absolute military force.
One cannon after another was towed by the dragon Tarask, and was deployed behind the position.
In front, soldiers with machine guns were lined up, flanked by cavalry guards numbering three hundred.
The artillery tactics that Napoleon was proud of and that introduced war into a new era have finally reappeared.
"Woo, it's not easy, if Edison and Tesla cooperated with me at the beginning." Napoleon thought with satisfaction, although the army under his command still had a lot of discordant things, such as the Zeppelin overhead, such as the machine gun that consumed bullets too quickly, no matter how you look at it, it could not cooperate with his artillery tactics, but at least there was a way to work well.
The anti-chastity alliance army in the distance noticed that the new enemy had rushed into the battlefield and had urgently transmitted information from the direction of Paris, knowing that it belonged to the army led by the suddenly resurrected Joan of Arc, and if the other side was defeated, it would mean that the war that would affect the whole of France would be completely suppressed.
They did not hesitate to choose to surround them.
Then, Edison launched his Noble Phantasm, W? F? D!
Napoleon waited, giving the order: "For France!" ”
The cannon roared behind him, and the rumbling sound echoed on the battlefield one after another, like a salute to celebrate the emperor's return to the mainland.
The soldiers of the Anti-Chastity Alliance, who saw the power of the cannon for the first time, were horrified, and could not have imagined that the primitive cannon behind them would turn into battlefield killers in the future, changing the way of warfare.
Every time a cannonball lands, it will blow up a hole nearly ten meters deep in the ground, and the limbs of the soldiers, horses, and even knights will fall in all directions, which looks extremely bloody.
In the final analysis, the army of the Anti-Chastity Alliance is an army that has been gathered in interests, and it is not a particularly strong will to fight, and besides, the other side does not have the leadership, military strategy, and the existence of the heroic spirit of the saints, and there is a way to maintain the military momentum.
Seeing that the companions charging in front of him were completely in and out, not even close to the close, the army that came to surround it quickly collapsed one by one.
Napoleon gave the order to advance, and the soldiers with machine guns took the opportunity to harvest the lives of those who were still stupid and overwhelmed, and cut off the rear route with cavalry to prevent them from escaping.
In the first round of confrontation, an army of 3,000 men was easily wiped out by Joan of Arc's side.
Li Ji, Joan of Arc rode on horses, and the situation did not require them to fight in person for the time being, so they chose to watch from the sidelines.
"Yes! That's how it should be, sabotage! Slaughter! Trample! Hehehehehe! The girl let out a creepy laugh and muttered in a low voice, "I shouldn't have agreed, victory came so easily." ”
"Ahem!" Li Ji heard it at the tip of his ear, and had to point out the fault with Joan of Arc's words, "Joan of Arc, if it weren't for my servant and the reinforcements I provided, you wouldn't have been able to do so well." ”
However, before they could catch their breath and clear the battlefield, in the blink of an eye two thousand new soldiers were on the flanks—pikemen hired from Switzerland, who were not very afraid of cavalry, and planned to attack their own waist to cover the other armies approaching.
There was a commotion on the flanks, and Napoleon shouted orders for his junior officers to control their men, intending to turn around and meet the attack.
Marda and Tesla fight each other.
The Iron Fist of the Holy Maiden never shows mercy to the enemy, especially on the battlefield.
Tesla is like a relaxing game, activating the artificial sky thunder of its own creation.
Neither of the Heroic Spirits activated the Noble Phantasm, and inflicting the Noble Phantasm on ordinary people was an insult to them, unless it was more strategic, or Artoria's kind of situation where she was too full of energy to vent.
The enemy soon found that their attempt had failed, and at first it seemed a little confused, and the flanks were stabilized again, but they went deep behind the enemy and had to face a strong enemy.
The army reoriented, turning the muzzles of the cannons at the enemy who was desperate to attack them, followed by a repetition of Napoleon's tactics.
The rain of shells fell on their heads and faces, and the pikemen encountered such terrible coordinated tactics that they could not raise their heads when they were suppressed, and they could be engulfed by a dense barrage of bullets after only a few seconds of hesitation, and even the intact corpses could not be kept.
The attacking Swiss pikemen were also routed.
They continued to repeat their old ways, engulfing small legions as they drew closer and closer to the city of Orleans.
The soldiers of the Anti-Chastity Alliance would not have imagined that in such a big situation, they would lose their troops one after another.
Perhaps the number of enemies was too large, and the speed at which they destroyed them was always less than the speed at which they surrounded them, and by the time they reached the foot of Orleans, they were already blocked in all four directions.
