Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

"It's really evil, why is it so similar to the evil god ritual recorded in the "Seven Saints Canon"..." Baron Chandler, who has read basic religious books and is considered a man of culture, shuddered in his heart after witnessing everything.

The victory in the first battle did not bring joy, but made the Baron even more worried.After dinner, he came to the third floor of the castle, which originally belonged to the castellan's living room.

The Portuguese translator is drinking red wine while tasting the Meaux specialty Brie cheese.

"Rogorio, something is very wrong. Are you sure those black orcs only believe in primitive gods? Why do I feel that the so-called true god Mwari they worship is like one of the four evil gods with a disguise?" one?"

That kind of bloodthirsty, cruelty, worship of killing and death is clearly similar to the believers of the evil god "Battle of War".

Rogorio laughed, took out a holy emblem full of holy power from his clothes, and said, "Don't worry, Baron Chandler. Prince Henry was prepared for this kind of thing. He personally fought with these orcs from Africa Having dealt with it, I know that it is a land of chaotic beliefs, ignorance and backwardness, daily life is always accompanied by killing and suffering, and it is very easy for evil gods to take advantage of it. I have been paying attention to this holy emblem. As long as it does not turn dark red , it means that there is no power of chaos in this city."

After listening to the other party's explanation, Baron Chandler was slightly relieved.However, he still said: "In this case, can your Excellency persuade those female warriors to make less blood sacrifices. This will damage the reputation of my king and the Lord Regent of Bedford."

The Portuguese laughed again: "If you Englishmen really care about fame, then why would Henry V, whom you regard as the greatest king, go to plunder on horseback in order to defeat France?"

After Rogorio satirized for a while, seeing Baron Chandler's complexion was not good-looking, he immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Baron, I was presumptuous, and I apologize for my gaffe."

Baron Chandler snorted dissatisfiedly, reluctantly accepted the other party's apology, but cursed in his heart: "Damn Portuguese peddler! You get carried away with your aid to us..."

But the overall situation is the most important thing. After all, he endured it and turned the topic to the war: "Although the French suffered a big loss today, it was only because of Lahair's impatience and underestimation of the enemy. When the French recovered their senses, this Battles are not easy to fight. Even though all the black orcs have the strength of quasi-professionals, there are always some things that are difficult to defeat with manpower. Be careful of French artillery!"

At this time, the Dahomey priest also entered the room, just in time to hear Baron Chandler's words.

He said with a look of disdain: "I have also seen the so-called cannon in Paris. You Europeans think that these clever things that rely on external force can compare with the mighty power bestowed by the true god? Ridiculous!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

According to Dahomey's tribal customs, priests can only be held by men.So this group of female mercenaries sent to Europe also had the only male.

Wearing a weird mask, the head is decorated with dozens of teeth of carnivorous beasts, and the naked upper body is painted with primitive and wild patterns in red and white.

It seems a bit out of harmony for a black orc dressed like this to appear in a castle in the late Middle Ages.

But Baron Chandler and Rogorio are obviously used to the existence of this shaman.

Compared with other beautiful Daho warriors who advocated bravery, this male priest was considered a man of culture. After a few months in Europe, he was already able to communicate in English and French.

He said in a blunt tone: "You light-skinned, you are not devout enough to the seven gods in your mouth. Otherwise, you will definitely be able to gain the extraordinary power to defeat all enemies. Abandoning the gods and looking for solutions in the real world is the best way. Stupid! Look at the French armor, which is said to cost a lot of gold, to block the weapons of our Dahomey soldiers? Even if the French use the so-called artillery, it is useless!"

Baron Chandler heard Rogorio brag before, saying that the African slaves bought by the Portuguese would always tremble with fright when they heard the roar of artillery for the first time, thinking it was the roar of the gods.

But now, these Dahomeies are clearly not the same.

However, this did not prevent Baron Chandler from calling these black orcs stupid in his heart.

Because of the military reform promoted by the Duke of Gloucester and the Earl of Hogil, in the past few months, many craftsmen from all over Europe have gathered in Paris to study artillery.

On the outskirts of Paris, there are often new artillery tests, attracting crowds of onlookers and killing people.

I don't know which test firing the orc shaman watched, so he arbitrarily believed that the artillery was no more powerful than that.

After unremitting efforts in research and a large amount of capital investment, a month ago, the English finally produced a long-barreled cannon made of copper and cast as a whole, named "Petrified Lizard" - a kind of cannon that can A deadly monitor lizard that fires magical rays from a distance to petrify enemies.

Although this kind of artillery is expensive, and its performance is still not as good as that of Ma Youfu's artillery, it has made great progress compared to before-at least it is much stronger than those stone-shooting artillery made by "bucket hoop".

The Duke of Bedford desperately produced this kind of artillery, and even took the copper bells of Paris churches and churches to melt them down.

The power of these basilisk cannons, even a hard-core professional, can't stop a head-on shot, let alone the French's more powerful, longer-range, and more accurate artillery.

If the Dahomey fighters rely on their bravery and the blessing of the "true god Mwari" to despise this new weapon, they will suffer a big loss sooner or later.

It doesn't matter if a few barbarians from Africa are killed, but if it affects the plan to defend Paris, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Baron Chandler exhausted his tongue and spent a long time explaining the power of the artillery to the orc shaman.It's a pity that the other party didn't take in the oil and salt, and looked arrogant and arrogant, and didn't listen to persuasion at all.

So Baron Chandler had no choice but to drop the British curse "bloody_hell" and walk away.

……

"Those blasphemous heretics!"

After treating the injuries, Lahaier specially asked the military chaplain to perform a healing technique to speed up his recovery. At night, he patrolled the camp wearing only a silk jacket.

When he saw the beheaded and hung "German stick" on the wall of Mo City in the distance, he couldn't help being angry and cursed.

Although the death of these greedy German mercenaries is not a pity, but after all, everyone is a superficial brother of the same belief. It is really unreasonable to die so tragically at the hands of the barbarian orcs of the primitive belief.

Those "virtuous sticks" on the city walls will have a serious impact on morale if they exist for a day.

La Haier also regretted the rash attack launched today.

In order to take down Meaux as soon as possible and open up the passage to Paris, La Haier only ordered his subordinates to make some simple long ladders, and then launched an attack.

He took the lead, and was the first to climb to the top of the city, and was defended by a group of beautiful Daho warriors.

The number one warrior in France, a giant warrior who is infinitely close to the heroic rank, can clearly feel that these female orcs are not professionals.

But when the other party wielded a uniquely shaped Dahomey machete and slashed towards him, Lahaier was surprised to find that the arms and weapons of these female warriors seemed to be connected as one, bursting with blood-red light!

The first French warrior was careless and didn't dodge.The Dahomey machete easily broke through the protection of the plate armor and cut him.

At this time, a black orc wearing a leopard pattern and looking like a leader appeared on the city wall.The spear in her hand was like a deadly lightning, and it struck Rachel's neck.

The warrior's instinct made Lahaier subconsciously move sideways, avoiding this fatal attack.

But his shoulder armor was shattered by the spear, and one hand was almost useless.

If the attendants hadn't tried their best to rescue him, Lahaier would have died accidentally because of underestimating the enemy this time.

After suffering a big loss, Lahaier had no choice but to suppress his impatience and proceeded to attack the city step by step.

The next day, the inconveniently maneuverable heavy baggage, including a large amount of timber and ten stone-shooting guns, was transported along the Marne River to the French camp.

La Haile immediately ordered to find a suitable location, set up artillery positions, and began to build heavy siege equipment.

On the afternoon of the second day when the French army besieged Meaux, the rumbling artillery finally sounded.

This is a bit like late medieval siege warfare.

It's just that although La Haier knew the important role of artillery, the inertia of thinking developed by the military education he received since childhood made him focus on the army building on the heavy cavalry.

Just ten primitive stone-shooting cannons can't pose too much threat to Meau City.

But Rachel is not in a hurry.

Yesterday's rash attack was not all fruitless.At least he already knew that the army defending Meau City had only one wickedly strong black orc mercenary, and there were not many of them.

Such an army can't cover every section of the city's walls.Therefore, as long as Lahaier is patient, takes advantage of the number of people, and launches multiple points and multiple waves of continuous attacks on Mocheng, sooner or later, those fierce heretics will be exhausted and Mocheng will be taken down.

But casualties, I'm afraid it's not so good.

However, Lahaier only hesitated for a moment in his heart, and then resolutely decided to continue the attack.

Anyway, most of the army are mercenaries recruited for money.With the support of the funder Ma Youfu, such leeks can grow as much as they cut, and they don't feel distressed at all.

As long as the knights and attendants who swore allegiance to him don't lose too much, that's enough.

The spoils obtained from defeating Mo City can be used by him to recruit mercenaries and replenish his troops.It will not affect the subsequent Battle of Paris.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

boom!boom!boom!

On a small hill overlooking the French artillery position of the Marne River, the roar of gunpowder is constantly coming.

Lahaier rubbed her ears that were slightly itchy from the sound of the cannon, sat under the pergola and continued to drink and eat meat.

Although he showed the soldiers a calm and composed state, his trembling calves still showed his inner irritability.

It will take another three days for the siege tower to be built.Before that, he would never use a simple long ladder to climb the city wall of Meau.Although those black orcs didn't use bows and crossbows, their spears were just as deadly.Even if the commander saw that the soldiers who climbed the ladder were thrown a string of spears and such tragedies happened many times, he would no longer launch an attack recklessly.

It is one thing to be compassionate and not command soldiers, but it is another thing to waste one's troops needlessly.

The artillery, which had high hopes, did not perform very well.

After two consecutive days of shelling, more than a dozen stone-shooting cannons have been scrapped by one-third.But there was only a small crack in the city wall of Mocheng, and it was unknown how long it would be before it collapsed.

It stands to reason that the medieval city walls are very unbearable in the face of siege weapons such as artillery.These city walls can defend against catapults with a kinetic energy of 20 joules, but they are as fragile as tofu in front of artillery with a kinetic energy of more than [-] joules.

But why did England have some good generals who participated in the battle of Chalons?

Like Fastoff.

Because of defeat, he was imprisoned last winter and then released.Although he is dismissed from his post and is idle at home, he is still playing his spare time, providing military advice to the Duke of Bedford, and emphasizing the French artillery threat.

The Duke of Bedford himself is an excellent ruler who can accept advice, so after realizing that Ma Youfu's artillery is powerful, he invited architects to carry out targeted repairs on Paris and the surrounding fortresses in key areas. strengthen.

The original tall, straight, and narrow medieval city walls were reduced in height and thickened, and the angle between the wall and the ground also changed from the original vertical ninety degrees to one hundred degrees.

If soldiers have the talent of goats, I am afraid that they can climb up the wall bricks without any tools.

This is also an important reason why Lahaier took a look at the city defense of Mo City and decided to attack immediately.

Although the modified city walls are easier to climb, the destructiveness of artillery on them has also been greatly reduced.

I'm afraid that if you destroy all the stone-shooting cannons at hand, you can't do anything to the city walls of Mocheng.wall

"Do you want me to pull Haile to ask for reinforcements? No, never!" The proud first French warrior immediately vetoed this idea.

But even though he didn't want to, the reinforcements arrived when Lahaier finished eating the third roasted hare.

Coming for reinforcements was Jean Podon de Santreille.

He is the master of the royal stables, another loyal follower of Joan of Arc (why say another?), a close comrade-in-arms of Rachel, and a hybrid of human and elf.

This powerful warrior is good at fighting with two swords, he can come and go like the wind on the battlefield, and he is also a spellcaster who has mastered the second-level spells.

Some people believe that Santleyer can even be on par with La Haile if he fights alone, so he is called "the second French warrior".

After Ma Youfu heard about his deeds, he played a trick and named the two people "North La Haile, South Santreille"-although they were actually born in the southwestern region of France.

However, since the place where the two were active before was indeed one south and one north, people naturally began to use this title to refer to the two.

Santleyer was seriously injured in the Battle of Orleans, and he didn't recover until the beginning of this year. He accepted Joan's invitation and came to Ma Youfu's command.

Seeing his friend, Lahaier's hedgehog didn't have a good temper. He just said in a low voice, "You're here early. In a few days, I'll be able to capture Mocheng!"

"My friend, we all know what that means when you say 'a few days'. When you stop shouting 'kill the enemy before the sun goes down' and use this vague quantifier to excuse yourself , which means that the battle situation is not so optimistic.”

Santleyer unceremoniously sat in the pergola, while complaining about the increasingly hot weather, he picked up the wine bottle and took a sip.

"This is the best Burgundy red wine, a gift from the Marquis..." Lahaire's cheeks twitched from the pain.

After chatting for a while, the two got down to business.

"Etienne (La Haile is just a nickname, this is the name), the city of Meaux is the only place we must pass through when we go west to Paris, and it guards the Marne River route. The Marquis has ordered that this city must be captured within two days. The city. That's why I was sent."

"Without your reinforcements, I can do it alone!" La Haier was still unwilling, and wanted to win the feat of breaking Meau City alone.
