Chapter 845: Bloodstained Battle Banner

The "Holy Maiden" returned to the fortress of Sanru, and Dinoy said respectfully in front of Joan of Arc, his eyes long gone without the contempt and rudeness of the first meeting.

In such a short period of time, there is nothing to say about the capture of Sanlu Fortress, even with the help of the strength of another one, after all, it is a sage who was found before the battle began, and if you really want to say it, it can only show that the other party has foresight, and if you replace him, the time to capture it will be doubled at the earliest.

"Count Dinoy has worked hard from Orleans, but there is another matter for you at the moment"

"When the troops have finished recuperating, I also ask the Count of Dinoir to return to the city of Orleans with this group of reinforcements, and inform the whole city of the disappearance of the liberated fortress of Sanlu, so as to boost morale, and only the first batch of the fortress will be enough."

"The fortress gate has been broken, and there are still a large number of small strongholds around, wouldn't it be too risky to rely only on the subordinates brought by the Holy Maiden," Dinoy asked puzzled, frowning.

If it was the advice of other nobles, Dinoir would definitely not hesitate to scold, it was too small to lose a big one.

Bringing the news back to Orleans would certainly boost morale, but it would be enough to send a single squad back to put the Sanlu fortress in danger.

Successfully capture the fortress of Sanlu, if it is a regular battle, the siege of Orleans is equivalent to half of the lifting, and the rest as long as it is fought steadily, the probability of defeat is not large.

But this is no ordinary battle, England still has special troops, not to mention that there are still a lot of strongholds around the fortress of Sanlu, and it will take some manpower and time to clean it up.

The gates of the Sanlu Fortress have been damaged again, and even if they are temporarily repaired, they are not as powerful as before, and Jeanne d'Arc's current subordinate Dinois is not optimistic.

"After the Count left. The army inside the fortress will also be sent to clear the surrounding strongholds. There will be no army left behind" looked at Dinoir. Joan of Arc said calmly.

“…… "Dinoy was not stupid, on the contrary, as the commander of an army, he was very experienced in this area, and if the fortress was empty, the English invaders were likely to come back and counterattack.

"Holy Maiden, don't forget the army of England, even if it succeeds in luring the enemy, it is difficult to pose much of a threat with the current troops alone, and it may be really defeated"

"It's about waiting for that force to come, rather than worrying about when the other side will show up on the battlefield. It's better to create opportunities for them to appear," Turning around, Chadage said firmly.

At night, the sparsely staffed Sanlu Fortress is waiting for the other party's attack.

The Dead Apostles would not show up on the battlefield openly, exposing themselves to the Church, and taking advantage of the night to find it more likely that they would do something.

"Please let me stay and fight together" The flame burned in his eyes, and Dinoir didn't know how many times he had waited for revenge.

Although I don't know why Joan of Arc is sure that it must be the team that will attack Sanlu Fortress, and it seems to be absolutely confident, but what happened before, there is also the firmness in Joan of Arc's words. Let Dinoy subconsciously choose to believe.

"No one will be left in the fortress except me and Xiao You. It was also necessary to lure them, and to ask the Count to return to Orleans with reinforcements"

The city was empty, and Joan of Arc was alone on the walls, as long as the English were not stupid, they knew that there was a problem, and the possibility of sending that team at night was not low.

Her instincts told her that the other party would definitely come.

“…… It's "with an expression of unwillingness, the team that made him fail miserably, really wants to fight again and avenge his former subordinates."

After several hours of renovation, the mixed light and heavy cavalry led by Dinoy set out on the road back to Orleans again, the sound of horses' hooves faintly disappearing, leaving a cloud of smoke and dust in the air.

Soon after, Bertrand, Gilles, and Demes also led the remaining soldiers out to begin a raid on the small strongholds in the surrounding area, and were ordered to bring enough dry food for three days, forbidden to return during this time, and a small number of seriously wounded soldiers were also escorted back to the rear.

There were only two people left in the fortress of Nuoda, Yufeng and Joan of Arc, sitting leisurely on the walls of the fortress.

"Xiao You, do you think the army of the dead will come" Sitting beside Youfeng, Joan of Arc said slightly tiredly, the first time he went to the battlefield, it was normal for him to be uncomfortable with another day's busyness.

"Joan of Arc feels that it will come, and it will come~" His legs shook casually, and the wind said easily.

In his memory, Joan of Arc's abilities had a strange ability to reveal, the ability to choose the most correct path for the achievement of goals, and it was difficult to show it concretely.

Anyway, she probably said she would come, and she would definitely come, right?

"They'll come, but ......," Joan of Arc frowned, as if something strange was going to happen, something strange......

"It's good that it's coming, by the way, they found something good in Sanlu Fortress today" As long as it's not an ancestor-level guy, it should be fine normally.

Thinking of what he had seen during the day, the wind drifted down and soon took a slender box and placed it in front of Joan of Arc.

"This is" Through the box, the iron and blood was already coming out, Joan of Arc asked in surprise.

Open the slender box, the white battle flag is wrapped inside, and there is a little blood in the simplicity, although it has not yet been unfolded, but you can find it directly that the red color of blood can be faintly seen on the edge of the battle flag is also the source of the smell of blood.

Breaking away from the black box, the blood-stained white battle flag fluttered in the wind, and even the peaceful Joan of Arc couldn't help but ignite a sense of war.

"Fleur-de-lis flags? It's a little different."

The slender flagpole of nearly three meters in pitch black, the white blood-stained battle flag, and the fleur-de-lis flag embroidered in the center, but it seemed to be a little different from the flags Joan of Arc had seen before.

"It seems to be the royal battle flag of the era of King Philip II of France two hundred years ago, and then it was defeated and became the trophy of Richard the Lionheart, and it was given to the Duke of Burgundy as a gesture of friendship, but it was robbed by us before it could be used"

Looking at the battle flag, Youfeng was also admiring, this is already promoted to the level of the Heroic Spirit Treasure, right?

Philip II is also one of the most prominent kings in the history of France, born in the same era as Richard the Lionheart of England, Frederick of the Holy Roman Empire, and Saladin the Muslims.

All three were emperors who were famous and legendary in history, but Philip II was even better and could be said to have reigned supreme in an era.

At the time of his birth, the royal family was in decline, and the territory under effective control was less than one-fifteenth of the whole of France, which can be said to be even worse than the current state.

It was his birth that prevented dynastic decline and allowed France to take its first steps towards centralization.

By the way, the other three are dead, and he is still alive calmly, and he is alive quite well, and when the next Richard the Lionheart and Frederick die, he is still not dead......

During the reign of Philip II, France fought many battles, and the flag became a symbol.

Only in the last battle with Lionheart, he lost and was attacked by multiple enemies at the same time, and the battle flag became Lionheart's trophy.

After that, Lionheart and Philip II signed a five-year armistice, and then ...... And he died. (To be continued.) )
