Chapter 837: Military Council (2)

"Now that the sage has made it clear, we need not be too afraid," said Count Dinoir, propping up the table, and in just a few minutes he confessed the identity of the Wind.

There is no way, for the current situation, it is necessary to have the guidance of a sage, it is enough for the lower echelons to have a holy woman, and the upper echelons of the army can also rely on the sage to inspire.

The Earl of Dinoy also did not want to inform the Church, and it was useless not to mention it, and now England was still concerned about the Church and did not send that army much, what about after the announcement?

They will face an all-out army of England, and there will inevitably be an army of the dead, and who knows when the Church will come.

"When you go back, you must convey to the bottom that England has a stubborn army, and its vitality is extremely tenacious, and it can only be killed as quickly as possible by cutting off its head, and never mention the dead," Count Dinoy said calmly, glancing at everyone present.

The morale of the lower classes is more dangerous than imagined, knowing that fighting with the dead, I am afraid that the battle will decline by three points before the battle begins, and after the real fight, it is another problem.

After a large number of the deceased are killed, there will be much less relative fear.

Under the solemn and heavy gaze of "obey", the nobles nodded one after another to understand the seriousness of it.

"And then the question of how to lift the siege of Orleans," nodded with satisfaction, and the Count of Denoy pointed to Orleans on the map.

"It has been nearly half a month since the siege of the English army, if what the sage said before was right, that army will not be easily dispatched, with the city defense of Orleans can hold out for at least a month"

"The longer it drags on, the more accidents may occur, and we must strive to lift the siege of Orleans in the shortest possible time" as the commander of Orleans. No one present knew the situation in Orleans better than the Count of Dinnoir.

"What do you think?"

“…… First join the defenders of the city. Let's think about the counterattack," as the Count of Dinoy fell. The nobles under the four are also suggesting.

It's not a trick, but it's also the safest way to ensure that Orleans doesn't fall, and to strengthen the forces of the army and boost morale.

The vast majority of the nobles in the tent also have the same opinion, as a high-ranking nobleman, there is still the necessary military common sense.

"Holy Maiden, what do you think as a commander" with an inconspicuous smile. The Count of Dinoy looked at Joan of Arc, and he wanted to see what answer the holy woman could give.

Many nobles also smiled, the saint was not so respectful in the upper echelons, and most of the village girls in an inconspicuous village knew about their previous status.

What kind of advice can a village girl who doesn't understand the military give, there are already people waiting to see how she looks ugly.

"As the Count of Dineoy said, the longer it drags on, the more likely it is that there will be an accident, and we need a quick victory to boost our morale," Joan of Arc said calmly, pointing to the three places around Orleans on the map.

In the past ten years. France had almost no victory to call a great victory, and one defeat after another was reported. A large number of areas have fallen, which is also one of the reasons for the low morale of the army, and if the war starts with a big victory, it will inevitably raise the morale to the top.

"The fortress west of the city, the fortress of Sanlu, and the fortress of Tuling, the combined forces of England and Burgundy are based on these three fortresses to carry out the siege of Orleans"

"As long as any one is breached, the siege of Orleans will be lifted"

In each of the three directions of Orleans, there is a core fortress, and with them as the core, a large number of walled fortresses have been built around them.

The significance of these three walled fortresses is not only the command core, but also has important strategic significance, and if you want to lift the siege of Orleans, it will inevitably revolve around these three walled cities.

"With three fortresses as the core, although it can perfectly encircle Orleans, it is also destined to be inconvenient to communicate with each other, and it is difficult to achieve long-distance rapid support"

"Take advantage of their siege and take the fortress of Sanlu"

There was the sound of paper crumbling in the tent, and the atmosphere was slightly silent, and everyone looked at the Sanlu Fortress, one of the three fortified fortresses at the core, which Joan of Arc pointed.

Conquering the core fortress as soon as the war began, not to mention the increase in morale, just forming horns with Orleans can greatly reduce the pressure on Orleans.

"Have you ever thought about what it would be like if you didn't succeed in taking it," a nobleman said with a sneer in his voice, already with a hint of mockery in his voice.

"One of the three fortresses in the core, the defense must be tight, even if we want to take it, it will not be able to achieve it in a while and a half, once we fail to take it, we will face two attacks, and we will bring about our own destruction."

The fortress is a key defensive fortress with a limited distance from Orleans, and it is easy to support the front to return when attacked, and it is not a feasible strategy to know at a glance that it is destined to be attacked by the enemy.

"Sanlu Fortress...... It's the side dominated by the Burgundian coalition," Gilles said thoughtfully, as if he had caught a hint of the key, but it was a little vague.

"That's right, the only of the three core fortresses is the Sanlu Fortress, which is dominated by the Burgundian coalition army, and it is also the one with the weakest combat readiness," said Joan of Arc calmly, bowing slightly.

The other nobles were a little angry and embarrassed, and the Duke of Burgundy was a nobleman of the former France, which was tantamount to mocking all the ...... present

“…… Even if the combat effectiveness is the weakest, it is not easy to capture" Thinking for a moment, Gilles still shook his head, the gap between the soldiers in defending the city will be narrowed to a certain extent, not that the weakest can be captured.

"Orleans has only been besieged for half a month, and the morale in the city is not too low, and the normal combat power is still possessed when there is enough food and grass" Looking at Orleans on the map, Joan of Arc's voice seemed to have a magical power that shocked Gilles.

"You mean...... "It's too risky, Gilles can already think of Joan of Arc's plan but it's really too risky."

"That's right, the defenders of Orleans are much more than the English invaders besieging the city, all they lack is a fierce general and morale, I hope that the Count of Denoy can take advantage of the reinforcements to attack the fortress of Sanlu and lead a team to break through into Orleans."

"Stop the troops returning to Sanlu Fortress before they arrive"

“!” The plan of the famous words finally made everyone present understand, and even the Count of Dinoit couldn't help but look at Joan of Arc with a different eye.

"Are you sure you want to do this? The slightest mistake could be a real death."

The battle-hardened Count of Denoy could see at a glance the feasibility of the plan, but he was equally aware of the dangers.

The nobles in Orleans were in control, and only he could bring out reinforcements when he went, while the other party could only be in charge of Joan of Arc, as long as they supported a little later, it could cause serious losses to the expeditionary force, and even the death of the commander.

"My God told me I could succeed" (To be continued.) )
