Chapter 843 Military Council (2)

"Since the sage has explained it, we don't need to be too afraid." Holding the table, Earl Dinoir said in a deep voice, and it took only a few minutes to admit Youfeng's identity.

No way, for the current situation, it is necessary to have the guidance of a sage. It is enough for the lower ranks to have a saint, and the upper ranks of the army can also rely on the sage for encouragement.

The Earl of Dunoy didn't want to notify the church either. It was useless not to mention it. Now England still cares about the church and doesn't send that army much. What happens after the notification?

They will face the English army at full strength, there will be an army of the dead, and who knows when the church will come.

"When you go back, you must convey to the public that England has a tenacious army with extremely tenacious vitality. Only by cutting off the head can it be killed as quickly as possible. Never mention the dead." Earl Dunoy said calmly while scanning the crowd. Said.

The morale of the lower ranks is more dangerous than expected. If you know how to fight the dead, you may lose three points before the battle begins. After the actual fight, it will be another problem.

After the dead are killed in large numbers, the relative fear will be much less.

Under the solemn and heavy eyes of "obedience", all the nobles nodded one after another and understood the seriousness of it.

"Then there is the question of how to lift the siege of Orleans." Nodding in satisfaction, Count Dunoy pointed to Orleans on the map.

"It has been nearly half a month since the siege by the English army. If what the sage said before is correct, that army will not be easily dispatched. Orleans' city defense can last at least a month."

"The longer the delay, the more possible changes may occur. We must try our best to lift the siege of Orleans in the shortest possible time." As the commander of Orleans, no one present knew the situation of Orleans better than Earl Dunoy.

"What do you guys think?"

"...Let's join up with the defenders in the city first, and then consider the issue of counterattack." Following Earl Dunoy's voice, the surrounding nobles also suggested.

It is not a conspiracy, but it is also the safest method. It not only ensures that Orleans will not fall, but also strengthens the strength of the self-armed army and improves morale.

Most of the nobles in the tent also have the same opinion. As a high-ranking noble, they still have the necessary military knowledge.

"Saint, what do you think as a commander?" With an inconspicuous smile, Count Dunoy turned his head to Joan of Arc, and he wanted to see what answer this saint could give.

Many aristocrats were also smiling. Saintesses were not so respected in the upper class, and most of the girls in an inconspicuous village knew about their previous identities.

What kind of advice can a village girl with no military knowledge give? People are already waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

"As Earl Dunoy said, the longer the time goes by, the more accidents are likely to happen, and we also need a swift victory to boost morale." Joan of Arc said calmly, pointing to three places around Orleans on the map.

In the past ten years, France has almost never won a victory called a great victory. The successive reports of defeats and the fall of a large number of areas are also one of the reasons for the low morale of the army. If a war starts, it will be a great victory first. Ascension to the apex.

"City West Fortress, Sanlu Fortress, and Tulen Fortress. The coalition forces of England and Burgundy use these three fortresses as the core to encircle Orleans."

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

In the three directions of Orleans, there is a core fortress respectively, with them as the core, a large number of walled fortresses are built around them.

The significance of these three fortresses is not only the core of command, but also has important strategic significance. If they want to lift the siege of Orleans, they will inevitably revolve around these three fortresses.

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

"While they are besieging the city, take down Sanlu Fortress"

There was a sound of paper crinkling in the camp, and the atmosphere was a little silent. Everyone looked at the Sanlu Fortress that Joan pointed at, one of the three core fortresses.

Taking down the core fortress as soon as the war started, 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 would happen if you didn't succeed in capturing the saint?" A nobleman said with a sneer in his voice.

"One of the three core fortresses must be well-defended. Even if we want to capture it, we won't be able to achieve it in a short time. If we fail to capture it, we will face attacks from two sides and kill ourselves."

The distance between the fortress and Orleans is limited, and it is the core key defensive fortress. It is easy to support and return to the front when it is attacked. It is doomed by the enemy, and it can be seen at a glance that it is not a feasible strategy.

"Sanglu Fortress...is the side dominated by the Burgundian coalition forces?" Frowning, Giles said thoughtfully, as if he had grasped a key point, but it was a little vague.

"That's right, of the three core fortresses, only Sanlu Fortress is dominated by the Burgundian coalition forces, and it is also the weakest fortress in terms of combat readiness," Joan of Arc said calmly, nodding her head slightly.

The other nobles showed a little anger and embarrassment. The Duke of Burgundy was originally a French nobleman. This sentence is equivalent to mocking all the people present...

"...Even the weakest combat power is not easy to capture." After thinking for a moment, Giles still shook his head. The gap between soldiers defending the city will be narrowed to a certain extent, and it does not mean 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. The normal combat power is still there when there is enough food and grass." Looking at Orleans on the map, Joan of Arc's voice seemed to have magic power to make Jill Si was shocked.

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

"That's right. Compared with the English invaders besieging the city, the defenders in the city of Orleans are much more numerous. What is lacking is a strong general and morale. I hope that Earl Dunoy can lead a team to break through when the reinforcements attack the Fortress of Sanlu. Into Orleans”

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

"!" The plan of the famous words finally made every nobleman present understand, and even Earl Dunoy couldn't help looking at Joan of Arc.

"Are you sure you want to do this? If you make a mistake, you may really die"

The battle-hardened Count Dunoit could see the feasibility of the plan at a glance, but he also knew the dangers involved.

The nobles in the city of Orleans are in control, and only he can bring out the reinforcements, and the person in charge of the other party can only be Joan of Arc. As long as they support them later, it may cause serious losses to the expeditionary force, and even the death of the commander.

"My God told me I could succeed"
