A breeze.

The withered grass shook gently.

The weather for the decisive battle was a bit drowsy.

Lothar rode a tall horse covered with ornate horse armor and an iron ramming horn at the bow, and beside Joan of Arc holding the banner of a white-bottomed irise.

Unlike the first simulation, when he only had an "army" of 3,000 outside the castle of Beauval, this time, he had more than 10,000 troops!

And the opponent has also become stronger, and the coalition forces are not only waiting for work, but their number is nearly twice that of his.

The Duke of Burgundy, who owned a large area of northern France and extended his tentacles to the rich lowlands (referring to the Benelux region), was far more financially powerful than Charles VII, who had already been crowned by this time.

The number of troops he sent was extremely staggering, accounting for more than half of the coalition army, including not only a large number of free mercenaries, but also an elite heavy cavalry flag team of nearly 1,000 people.

"Jeanne, what do you think we should do?"

Lothar looked at the side of the knight's face, her long blond hair clinging to her somewhat reddened cheeks from wearing a helmet.

Jeanne and Joan of Arc are both translated names, but the latter has been rendered by Lothar as a statement that shows the nobility of Joan of Arc's character, which is equivalent to a re-translation.

Because of this, the word Jeanne has become a very affectionate title.

Jeanne pondered for a moment, then said: "You can't charge blindly, the British defense is very solid, they must want to replicate the victory in the battle of Agincourt." ”

The knights of France are not heroic, and it is reckless to be too brave!

They even once charged at the enemy's positions against the horses.

When they rushed to the front of the rejection of the horse, they dismounted and moved the barricades and the rejection of the horse, and then charged—just imagining this picture is a little funny.

Rifle charge, a tactic that seems to work well at all times and will never go out of style, makes them rigid and rigid.

The opponent, the English, precisely because they could not afford to arm so many knights, made many tactical innovations, and with less than one-third of the opponent's financial resources and population, they repeatedly defeated the strong France with the weak.

"So what are we going to do?"

Lothar asked again.

Jeanne smiled and said, "My king, you have already figured out a strategy against the enemy, why do you have to ask me? ”

Lothar smiled on her face, "Perhaps, Heavenly Father's will can make you and me figure it out, and even the strategies against the enemy happen to collide together?" ”

The two talked and laughed, and they didn't seem to pay attention to the enemy on the other side at all, which also gave confidence to many generals and knights.

Since the start of the Hundred Years' War, France has lost too many times.

At this moment a group of knights came running from the opposite side, and stopped not far away, and the Duke of Burgundy himself rode his horse to the front of the battle, and shouted to the army of Lothar: "Let the king of Niger come out to me!" ”

Niger refers to the contempt of Charles VII's title after he was deprived of the right to inherit the throne and expelled to the fiefdom of Niger.

Without hesitation, Lothar rode up to meet him.

"My cousin, it is an honor to meet you, but it is also unfortunate to meet you on such an occasion."

Lothar took off her helmet and saluted with a smile: "But cousin, I still expect you to abide by the etiquette of a monarch and call me His Majesty." ”

Philip said contemptuously: "Charlie, you will never be the king of France until you are crowned by Reims, and now, I want you to repent here for my father." ”

Lothar drew a cross on her chest: "I am glad to do so, may the Father bless Uncle John—I am sad, cousin, really, because you have not taken what I have said to you to heart, it is clearly a complete conspiracy." ”

Philip pulled out the knight's sword in his hand and sneered: "What you said, in my opinion, is the poisonous juice spewing from the mouth of the poisonous snake, I don't even believe a word." ”

Lothar smiled enthusiastically: "So cousin, are you here to meet with me to have a duel between knights?" Let Heavenly Father bear witness to whether or not I am lying! ”

Philip hesitated, remembering the skills shown by the other party in the previous battles, and snorted coldly: "No, I will personally capture you on the battlefield, get ready to fight, my dear cousin!" ”

Lothar looked at Philip's back and shouted, "Dear cousin, don't you even have the courage to duel me?" Or do you think of me as the contemptible English who is good at treachery, who is not at all chivalrous, and who is good at strangling your fellow citizens with a bowstring? ”

Philip suppressed his anger and returned to his camp in despair amid the boos of the knights and nobles.

As if annoyed, the army of the Burgundians on the opposite side was the first to move.

The cavalry was at the forefront, forming a formation and advancing in order.

The mercenaries divided their teams according to their weapons, formed various phalanxes, and marched in unison.

In Philip's opinion, they were outnumbered, and the mercenaries who specialized in killing were far superior to those under Lothar's command, many peasant soldiers who had just been called up from the villages and towns.

In this battle, the advantage is mine!

...

Lothar returned to the formation and smiled at Jeanne: "Oh, look at my impatient cousin, the English must have promised him a lot." ”

Jeanne also smiled and replied, "As we envisioned, Philippe himself led the troops, and he considered himself to be equal to the King of England, and he certainly did not want to obey the command of the Duke of Befort." On the contrary, the Duke of Befort had to cooperate with Philip to break out of the position they had set up like a turtle shell. ”

"Are you ready?"

Lothar asked.

Jeanne nodded heavily, she raised her battle flag and followed Lothar to the front.

"The Burgundian traitor, Philip, is leading his army towards us like an English hound. Let this contemptible man, who has lost the glory of France, see what a true French man is! ”

Lothar shouted.

Maybe many people didn't hear what he was saying, but just looking at Lothar and the flag of the white-bottomed irises beside him was enough to inspire.

Knights, soldiers, noble generals, let out a tsunami-like cry.

"Frenchman, charge with me!"

Lothar grabbed the horse's belly, raised his riding spear, and rushed to the front first.

Twelve cavalry bannermen, consisting of heavy knights, light cavalry, and archers, followed Lothar and rushed towards the army of Burgundy.

In my ears, the sound of artillery roared.

The French artillery poured shells on the positions of the opposing coalition forces, and although the accuracy was limited, as long as it hit, the heavy shells would plow out a bloody mud.

Losara lowered her mask and raised her rifle.

The wind poured through the gaps in the armor.

The only thing left in my ears was the roar of artillery fire.

At the moment of contact with the enemy, the cavalry spear in Lothar's hand slammed off the horse of a knight with a white cross painted on the opposite side.

People turn on their backs.

Iron collided with blood, splashing boiling blood.

opponents, completely at a disadvantage.

But the knights under Duke Philip are not a rabble.

Among them, there are many legendary knights with a long reputation, and even in the rating of the gacha system, they can mix up to the level of three stars and four stars.

[In other words, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books at present, change the source app, .huanyuanapp to install the latest version. 】

In the process of fighting them, Lothar gradually felt the limitations of his combat power.

But Jeanne and the cavalry of Lothar and Lahair, who were more combative, were firmly guarded around Lothar, so that he constantly cut through the enemy's formation.

More and more enemy troops are falling to the ground.

More and more of their own fighters fell to the ground.

Gradually, there were fewer and fewer knights on Lothar's side, after breaking through the lines of the enemy's infantry.

Lothar led his army around the enemy formation, regrouping on a high slope in the distance.

At this time, he realized that only half of the original 1,500 cavalry behind him were left.

Half of the people lost, some were captured, some were scattered and fled, and they didn't have time to return to the array, but more were still killed by the enemy who lifted their helmets and killed them directly.

The war has reached this point, and the enmity between the two sides is as deep as the sea, and it has long been gone decades ago, and the battlefield etiquette that knights and lords still pay attention to not killing nobles.

The opponent was even more miserable, and the Duke of Burgundy withdrew to the rear with only one of the remaining guards.

In the position of the British army, the Duke of Befort slapped a letter on the table with excitement, and the content on it was impressively written - the Duke of York rebelled, immediately negotiated peace with the King of Niger, and led the army back to England.

Lothar took a brand-new mounted spear from his squire's hand and held it high so that the banner tied to the tip of the spear was in the most conspicuous condition.

"Behold, these are traitors, who have lost their knightly glory, and they no longer have God's patronage."

"Frenchman, charge again with me!"

"Crush them!"

The knights shouted: "For the king, for Joan of Arc, for France!" ”

"Crush these English!"

The knights, who had just experienced a bloody battle, swept down the mountain again, and rushed into the battlefield that had fallen into a frontal battle of the infantry.

The knights and nobles of this era still maintained their blood and bravery, and they were never afraid of death.

I don't know how long it took.

Lothar and Jeanne had lost their mounts, and the knights around them had to dismount and fight.

Lothar felt that her arms were so heavy that she couldn't lift them.

His chest, the nail plate was deeply sunken.

If it weren't for the talent that Prajna shared with him, he would have been directly hammered to death by one of the opponent's knights.

There are no enemies in sight around.

Lothar gasped violently, sword clung to regain strength.

The sound of horses' hooves, gradually approaching.

Lothar looked up with some wariness and grasped the long sword in his hand.

The smoke of gunfire on the battlefield cleared.

only to find that there were only three people who came.

The person at the front was the Duke of Befort, the British regent in France, and the attendants behind him were impressively waving a white flag symbolizing the "truce".

Lothar and Jeanne looked at each other and smiled.

He patted Jeanne lightly on the shoulder and whispered, "Look, we have won, that fool of Befort, is coming to surrender to us." ”

Jeanne's lips moved slightly.

"Your Majesty, is this a dream?"

Lothar looked at her with a somewhat familiar expression on her face for a moment, fading away from the green, fading the part that was not mature enough, and it was exactly the same as Jeanne in later generations.

He seemed to understand something, smiled and said, "Just assume it's true, isn't it?" ”

Jeanne's lips twitched slightly, as if she had said something, but she didn't.

In my ears, the system beep sounds.

The scene in front of Lothar's eyes gradually became a lake.

Lines of small words appeared in front of his eyes:

Ending: You negotiate with the Duke of Befort and the Duke of Philip under the city of Reims, and the Duke of Beyford wanted to cover up the Duke of York's rebellion, but you directly pointed out that the situation of the negotiation fell directly to you.

Inside, a rich purple glow shimmered.

Lothar opened her eyes, and she happened to be staring at Pranya.

At some point, she had come to Lothar's bedside and sat down beside him.

"Your Excellency, you?"

Fringira looked at Lothar with some surprise, wondering why Lothar seemed to have been reborn just by waking up.

Jeanne hurried open the door and entered.

She hesitated and shouted tentatively, "Little flag? ”

"It's me, dear Jeanne."

Lothar said softly.
