In the Middle Ages, people drew cards to be promoted to nobility.

The two discussed for a long time, but ended up with Lothar giving in.

Jeanna always believed that if we wanted to defend Qingshui County, we would need to deploy garrison troops on every section of the city wall. The combat effectiveness of those Song people was very questionable, and they would be surrounded by wind from all sides.

The enemy can easily tear open a hole in a weakly defended area and rush in.

It is better to go out of the city and fight.

If you win, you will be a young model in the club, if you lose, you will start all over again.

She is full of Jeanne's usual leadership style, keen on taking risks, and is like a player who is used to showing off her skills. It is really difficult for her to play heroes like Garen and Stoneman.

All right.

If we continue to argue, there will be no result. It is better to make a decision earlier or set the charter in advance.

Jeanne said confidently: Since you agreed, I must inform you, Marquis Lothar, that you have been dismissed from the military. Next, please do not express any opinions on military affairs.

Lothar could only be speechless for a while.

Gil, who had a rough beard, walked out of the mansion with Lothar.

He is one of the twelve guardian knights of Jeanne - Gilles de Rais, a marshal during the Hundred Years War and the captain of Lothar's guard when he was Charles VII.

In the worldview of Yesterday's Giant Ship, after Jeanne came back from the dead, he continued to follow Jeanne and became a paladin who fought against dark wizards and evil dark creatures.

But in Lothar's previous life, there was naturally no resurrection from the dead.

Joan of Arc was pronounced a witch and burned to death.

His faith collapsed and he was disheartened. He soon resigned from the military and returned to his territory. Later, he was seduced by a wandering wizard and devoted himself to the study of black magic and alchemy.

Eventually, the remains of countless children and teenagers were found in the castle in his territory. It is said that he tried to study the black magic of resurrection from the dead, and wanted to make a deal with the devil in exchange for the rebirth of Joan of Arc.

As a result, he was quickly tried, convicted, and executed.

His image also evolved over time, gradually becoming a terrifying cloud hovering over the European continent, like Bloody Mary and Count Dracula.

Lothar patted Jill on the shoulder: You don't need to call me Your Majesty. I'm not the real King Charlie, but I have to say that I still feel very happy to see you again.

Jill's blue eyes were full of reverence: Your Majesty, no matter what, it is my honor to fight alongside you again. Also, can you tell Jeanne to let us come out for air often?

Lothar rubbed her brows and said with some distress: Jeanna also means well. You have been sleeping in the epic river for a long time. It's not that she doesn't want to let you breathe, but she doesn't want to wake you up easily.

For Jeanne, the strength of the guardian knights is average, and maintaining their existence requires a lot of mental energy. Unless it is to fish, Jeanne is more willing to go into battle in person.

Jill couldn't help laughing: Your Majesty, you still like to excuse Jeanne so much. What kind of person is she? Can we old friends still not know clearly?

Lothar said with some embarrassment: Okay, I understand. I will remind Jeanne from time to time. Next, go and perform your duties, my most trusted marshal.

Gil smiled and bowed, turned and left.

Next, he has to coordinate all the military affairs in the camp. Those are trivial matters, but they must not be ignored.

Lothar rode his mount on the rammed earth road in Qingshui County.

He carefully looked at the shirtless blacksmith in the blacksmith shop for a while, swinging his hammer and hitting the red-hot iron bars over and over again. The blacksmith's apprentice also looked at him with surprise on his face.

Outside the blacksmith shop, several archers from Qingshui County were sitting cross-legged, sewing iron armor leaves on their armor.

It is said that there are mountains of armored leaves like this in the arsenal in Tokyo, and new ones are put into the warehouse every year.

Nowadays, those golden people are cheap.

The so-called strong branches and weak branches, the Song Dynasty absorbed the lessons of the previous dynasty. Once Tokyo fell, those branches and leaves were really pitifully weak.

Lothar stopped for a moment and saw that his outfit and barbarian appearance were too eye-catching. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, gently tucked the horse's belly and left.

Along the way.

Lothar felt both familiarity and strangeness in her heart.

He had also seen such quaint towns in movies and TV series.

But the people here's examination of him all told him that he did not belong here.

He is Lothar of the Habsburg family, Marquis of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, General of the Eastern Empire's military region, and a barbarian in the eyes of the Orientals. Even if the iron hoofs of the Tatars move south and ravage everything in the future, Lothar will not be able to save him.

This Song Dynasty is not that Song Dynasty.

Lothar warned himself in his heart that this was only a historical projection intercepted from the combat records. He could not change anything, even if he defeated Jin Wushu.

At this time.

There are fast horses rushing into the city.

They were the scouts among the newly formed light cavalry under Lothar. The cavalry behind the fast horse had been hit by several arrows. Seeing Lothar, he only had time to shout: The enemy is coming, and then he vomited blood. Slip off the horse.

Lothar looked slightly cold and strode towards the city wall.

As he walked, he notified the soldiers he met on the road and ordered them to pass the news to Jeanne immediately.

It is impossible for an army to have two brains. Now he has completely delegated his authority. He is just a soldier and obeys all orders of Jeanne.

But if it turns out that Jeanna's idea of ​​going out to fight in the city doesn't work, it will be Lothar's turn to be the commander-in-chief next time.

He quickly came to the city wall. At this time, the city gate was tightly closed, and the only two divine arm crossbows on the city wall were properly placed.

This kind of instrument modified by an alien demon has strange patterns engraved on the crossbow. It is said that a real Taoist person once personally engraved it on it. The crossbow arrow is like a spear, which can shoot up to 800 steps, and the hit will pierce both men and horses.

It's a pity that the number is too small. The Song Dynasty was weak, and the weak was never the weapons.

County Lieutenant, the enemy is coming.

General Ha, do you have any countermeasures?

The county captain's face was gloomy. The scout came in through his city gate. Even if he couldn't understand the language, the injuries on the scout's body could not have been caused by him.

Lothar shook his head and said: General Da will be in charge of military affairs.

General Da has a plan?

Lothar shook his head and said: I am just a big-headed soldier now. How can I know General Da's strategy? However, County Lieutenant, we are grasshoppers tied to a rope now. There is no need to worry about our failure to do our best.

The county captain looked sad, but he was not worried at all.

He was just worried that even if Lothar and his gang tried their best, they would not be able to change the overall situation.

Lothar ignored the county captain and rested his hands on the battlements, looking far into the distance. Smoke and dust were billowing in the distance, birds were frightened, and the sound of iron hooves was thunderous. This was a sign of the arrival of large-scale cavalry.

The entire Qingshui County quickly realized that the enemy was coming. The defenders at the top of the city all looked pale, and many of them had trembling legs. They were holding on to the battlements and struggling to stand.

Soon.

He saw a huge black and red military flag on a hillside not far outside the city. In the center, there was a huge golden sun painted on it. This was the military flag used by the Jin people.

Dozens of Iron Buddha cavalry, surrounded by a Jin general, seemed to be looking at Lothar, and seemed to be just looking at the tower.

The dense cavalry was like an ocean, with no edge visible.

Even the kidnappers were wearing half-armor and iron helmets.

A member of the cavalry broke away from the military formation and ran towards the city wall without any scruples.

Citizens of Qingshui County, quickly open the city and surrender, otherwise the army will attack your city and leave no grass behind!

Lothar looked at the county lieutenant. The county lieutenant gritted his teeth, picked up a divine arm crossbow and aimed at the cavalryman.

The cavalryman's face suddenly changed and he shouted: If you dare to hurt me if you don't kill the envoys when the two armies are fighting, our army will crush your Qingshui County!

boom--

The arrow penetrated the body of the cavalryman.

The county lieutenant cursed and said: As a thief, if you don't open the city and surrender, you won't leave any grass behind. If you kill the envoys, you won't leave any grass behind. It's better to kill the thief to relieve his anger.

Lothar was startled and smiled.

He looked carefully at the military formation opposite. The armor rate of the Jinguo Iron Cavalry was extremely high. He didn't know whether it was because the craftsmen plundered from the Khitan Liao Dynasty or the Song Dynasty were of high quality, or because the arsenal in Tokyo City had plenty of armor leaves. These five Thousands of enemy troops were all wearing armor. Even the mount of Guaizima, a light cavalryman, had a pair of half-length armor on the front to withstand the stray arrows fired from the front.

The county captain began to boost the morale of the defenders, stood in a conspicuous place on the city gate tower, and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Everyone has also heard that this golden dog is cruel. As long as he destroys the city, he will not leave anyone behind. If he fights, he will die. If he doesn't fight, he will die. It's better to have someone on his back before he dies.

This golden dog is also a human being, with two arms and two legs. He was killed by General Ha's men and left with heads. If they can do it, so can we!

The faces of the Xiang army were as pale as dirt, and the entire army of the Song Dynasty was now turning golden upon hearing the news. How could a few chicken blood boost morale?

As the county captain talked, he still couldn't help but feel discouraged: Which brother dies first, go down below and take a seat with the King of Hell in advance. In a short while, I will definitely go down to accompany you!

The opponent was an elite who had defeated the elite Western Army, but our own side was mostly a group of Xiang soldiers and archers. From the beginning of this battle, the county captain had no hope of winning.

The soldiers under his command are naturally not stupid.

It is said that people at the bottom are easy to deceive, but these veterans are not so easy to be deceived. At this time, any rewards or titles are all false.

How about being more honest.

At this time.

Liu Bowu, who was assisting in the defense of the city, and a kind of militiamen also boarded the top of the city one after another. Seeing the might of the army on the opposite side, they were fighting in two directions. If the city gates were not closed tightly, they would have turned around and ran away.

Liu Bowu looked surprised: Is this the golden dog's cavalry?

He also boasted that he had read several military books, but when he saw the densely packed Jin Kingdom cavalry and troops approaching the city, he just felt like the sky was falling.
