Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

A new sky appeared.

With heavy cello bass accompaniment.

In the picture, under the overcast sky, the charred land extends to the horizon.

There were bodies lying unburied in the fields.

In the distance, the flag of England fluttered in the cold wind.

A scene devastated by war.

But suddenly, the ethereal female voice of a hymn appeared.

At the end of the road, a thin figure wearing a coarse cloak was walking against the flow of refugees.

She walked barefoot through the snowy wilderness, having difficulty walking.

But firm.

When she looked up, the camera froze on her eyes - as hot as a raging fire!

The scene changes.

The farm girl just now was now riding a white horse, wearing shining white armor and holding a fluttering military flag.

Let out a powerful roar!
The battle is about to begin!
The sky curtain, after playing a wonderful film and television clip.

This is when the official story begins:

……

【In 1412, France was in an unprecedented desperate situation. 】

[This once glorious European power is being trampled to pieces by the iron hoof of the Hundred Years' War.]

【The story begins in 1337. 】

【When King Edward III of England declared himself the legitimate heir to the French throne. 】

[This marked the beginning of a protracted war between England and France for territory, the throne and commercial interests, known in history as the "Hundred Years' War between England and France"]

[By 1415, English longbowmen massacred tens of thousands of French knights at the Battle of Agincourt.]

[The elite French army was almost annihilated.]

[The whole of northern France fell into the hands of the English like a ripe fruit.]

[The internal struggle between the Duke of Burgundy and the Orleans faction is tearing the body of this ancient kingdom apart.]

【France at this moment is like a lamb being torn apart by a pack of wolves.】

[The northern territory was occupied by the British, the Duke of Burgundy in the east defected to the enemy, and the Crown Prince Charles VII in the south retreated to the Château de Chinon.]

[Heavy in debt, he is theoretically the King of France, but even the shoemaker dares to give him the cold shoulder.]

[Charles VII was so frustrated that he didn't even dare to hold his coronation ceremony, which lacked legitimacy.]

[The most fatal blow came with the Treaty of Troyes in 1420.]

[This humiliating agreement not only declared Charles VII to be an illegitimate child, but also stipulated that King Henry V of England would become the heir to the French throne.]

[This means that France will disappear completely from the map. ]

【Not only that, the French economy has also suffered a severe blow. 】

【The war caused farmland to be abandoned, food to be in short supply, and prices to soar.】

[The people are living in dire straits, struggling on the brink of life and death.]

【Many cities and villages were destroyed by war and were in ruins. 】

[The streets were filled with refugees from burned villages, and the fields were littered with rotting corpses.]

【What’s even more terrifying is that everyone has accepted a fact:】

【France is about to perish. 】

Outside the sky.

Shang Dynasty.

When Emperor Xin saw this, he couldn't help but frown and said:

"Is France going to perish again?"

"Why is it that on the sky screen, France is either perishing or on the way to perishing?"

Bigan on the side reminded:
"Your Majesty, when we talked about Napoleon before, France was quite powerful at that time."

When Emperor Xin was reminded of this, he also remembered it.

"Oh, yes, Napoleon was invincible."

"But even France at that time was facing interference from multiple powerful countries. I'm afraid that if it wasn't careful, it would also be destroyed, right?"

"What happened to the Hundred Years' War between England and France? Did France get destroyed by England and then recover?"

"Although it's a story about overseas barbarians, it's really quite attractive."

Emperor Xin continued to look at the sky attentively.

……

[In such a desperate situation, the French people longed for a hero to emerge to lead them out of the predicament and save the country from danger.]

[No one expected that the one who would save this country would be an illiterate farm girl.]

【Today, let us uncover the truest legend of Joan of Arc. 】

[Her story is more passionate and tragic than any novel.]

[In 1412, Joan of Arc was born in a small village in the Champagne region of France. ]

【The village is located at the foot of the Vosges Mountains, surrounded by rolling hills and dense forests, with pleasant scenery. 】

[However, the shadow of war had already shrouded this peaceful land. The villagers were often frightened by the invasion of the British army and their lives were miserable.]

[Joan of Arc's parents were both simple and hardworking farmers.]

[Although his father, Jacques Dacques, was illiterate, he was upright, brave, and had a strong sense of responsibility towards his family.]

[Mother Isabella was kind and gentle. She not only took care of the household affairs, but also often told Joan of Arc stories about saints.]

【Under the guidance and example of her parents, Joan of Arc developed a tenacious, kind and brave character since she was young. 】

[As she grew older, Joan of Arc gradually realized the great suffering that war brought to people.]

[She saw villagers grief-stricken over the loss of their loved ones, and saw farmland devastated by the war.]

[These experiences made her more determined to save France and let the people live a happy life. ]

【At the age of 13, the gears of fate began to turn quietly. 】

[According to Joan of Arc, she suddenly heard the voice of God while she was grazing. This voice told her that she would shoulder the mission of saving France.]

[She claimed to hear the call of Saint Michael to reclaim France for her "gentle dauphin."]

【Everyone thinks Joan of Arc is talking nonsense. 】

[But Joan of Arc's madness and action are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.] [In 1428, the British army besieged the French city of Orleans, which is a strategic location in central France. Once it is lost, France will face the danger of total collapse.]

【After hearing the news, Joan of Arc decided to step forward. 】

[Despite her family's opposition, she resolutely embarked on the journey to Vaucouleurs, hoping to gain the support of the local commander Robert de Baudicourt.]

[At first, Baudicul did not believe this farm girl who claimed to be guided by God, and even laughed at her idea.]

[But Joan of Arc did not give up. With her firm belief and extraordinary courage, she persuaded Baudicourt again and again.]

[Finally, Baudicourt was moved by Joan's persistence and decided to provide her with equipment and guards.]

[Let her go to the Château de Chinon to meet with Charles VII, the Dauphin of France.]

[Joan of Arc disguised herself as a man and crossed a 200-kilometer war zone to break into Charles VII's castle.]

[In 1429, Joan of Arc finally met Charles VII. ]

[In order to test Joan of Arc, Charles VII deliberately let a nobleman pretend to be him, while he mixed in the crowd. ]

【However, Joan of Arc recognized Charles VII at first sight. 】

[Joan of Arc then told Charles VII about her mission.]

See this little anecdote.

The barrage was filled with complaints.

"Xiongnu Envoy: I'm familiar with this. I saw a man who was writing with a domineering air, and then he was chopped off by Cao Cao."

"What a great Cao Mengde."

"In fact, people were arranged on the scene to check Joan of Arc's identity and innocence to ensure that she was not a witch."

"Charlie, can you believe this? If I were Charlie, I wouldn't believe this illiterate teenage girl from the countryside."

……

The sky continues.

[After receiving initial recognition, Joan of Arc made a shocking statement in front of all the civil and military officials in the court: "Give me the army to rescue Orleans within ten days!"]

【The nobles present burst into laughter.】

[A village girl who doesn't even know the alphabet wants to lead troops to war? ]

【But Charles VII stared at the girl with fiery eyes and was moved by her sincerity and wisdom. 】

[He decided to take a gamble and gave her pure white armor, a flag embroidered with irises, and an army of 3000 people.]

[Joan of Arc, wearing white armor and holding a military flag, led the French army towards Orleans.]

【This army is not elite. 】

[Most of them were defeated soldiers who had fought and lost many battles.]

[Another third were wandering knights, bankrupt merchants, or even fugitives who came to seek refuge with their own weapons after hearing the story of Joan of Arc.]

[Late at night on April 1429, 4, a strange fire lit up outside the city of Orleans. ]

[The British defenders saw a girl holding a torch and riding a horse at full speed on the other side of the river, followed by a fleet of ships loaded with food.]

[Just as they were aiming their bows, a sudden strong wind blew up, and the sails used the wind to instantly break through the blockade - this was Joan of Arc's first plan, she calculated that there would be an east wind on the night of the waning moon.]

[When food was delivered to the hungry city of Orleans, the morale of the defenders soared.]

[And the British began to spread rumors that "the witch would summon storms." ]

[The French army was given a shot of adrenaline. When the soldiers saw Joan of Arc, they seemed to see hope, and their morale was greatly boosted.]

[Under Joan of Arc's command, the French army launched a fierce attack on the British army. ]

[In the Battle of Orleans, Joan of Arc led the charge, regardless of enemy fire.]

[Her white horse was the first to leap over the trench, and the arrows flew past her helmet.]

[When she was shot in the thigh by a crossbow arrow in the melee, she gritted her teeth and pulled out the arrow, holding up the military flag and shouting religious slogans.]

[At this moment, the ragged soldiers seemed to be injected with mysterious power. They climbed over the city wall by stepping on the bodies of their companions and smashed the British army's armor with farm tools.]

[The next morning, the British marshal jumped into the river and committed suicide in despair.]

【The French army successfully repelled the British army and lifted the Siege of Orleans. 】

[The victory of this battle not only broke the myth of the British army's invincibility, but also greatly boosted the morale of the French people. ]

【From then on, Joan of Arc's name spread throughout France and she became a hero in people's minds. 】

[Her exclusive title of "The Girl of Orleans" begins to resound! ]

The video reaches an exciting point here.

Barrages of comments also appeared one after another.

"Huh? Joan of Arc won the battle as soon as she arrived. How did that happen?"

"The famous French generals were all there at the time, and they could command a large army."

"Why did these generals always lose battles before?"

"The French army actually had the ability to defeat the British army at that time, but they kept failing, which made them afraid of the British. Joan of Arc brought courage."

《Joan of Arc: Morale +8.》

"It is said that Joan of Arc highly advocated the use of artillery and pushed the French army to develop many tactics centered around artillery."

"If he even slept with a teenage girl, how could other French gentlemen not rush in?"

Outside the sky.

Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin saw Joan of Arc of France, who was a peasant girl but stood up when her country was destroyed.

The miraculous lifting of the Siege of Orleans also moved me a little.

"What a heroine!"

"This Joan of Arc, who was born in a humble family but had a great heart, turned the tide in a desperate situation. She is truly admirable."

Li Chengqian was specially arranged to watch the sky curtain together. He also stroked his beard and pondered:
"This girl was born in the countryside, yet she was able to lead the three armies. She is truly an extraordinary person."

"Is it possible that she is a saint as she said? Then God has endowed her with military talent?"

Li Shimin was not sure either, but he saw the video images on the skylight and the battle line map.

He speculated slightly: "Look at how she deploys her troops - her timing is precise and her morale is high. This is the talent of a great general!"

"Besides, leading the charge can greatly inspire the soldiers' fighting spirit."

"The French army is a bunch of defeated soldiers. They have lost their courage long ago."

"We need a general like this who leads by example and has a bit of divinity."

"I don't believe in any revelation from God or any angel coming."

"But we have to admit that Joan of Arc's move is very useful and necessary." (End of this chapter)
