Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 451 True Destruction

Kingdom of France, Poitiers.

This is already the frontal battlefield between the Kingdom of France and the Kingdom of England, and further north is the Loire River.

Originally, the English were all blocked in the area north of the Loire River. Although Paris, the capital of the Kingdom of France, had fallen, fortunately they still controlled the area south of the Loire River.

However, later, as Charles VII took refuge in Zhu Zhanhe but was killed, Joan of Arc also left the frontal battlefield because she fell into Zhu Zhanhe's hands, and Wang Jinghong's fleet did not enter the English Channel as expected to block the English Yolanda, who went south and Aragon, did not send reinforcements in time and other factors.

In the end, the Loire fell, and the English invaded south as far as Poitiers.

Joan looked to the north, Poitiers couldn't see the Loire River, but it made her yearn for it infinitely.

She knew that no matter what she had experienced, now she had returned to the frontal battlefield of the Kingdom of France and the English, and she had also led her troops to win the first battle after her return.

If she can continue to lead the Kingdom of France to continuous victories, she will become the person who has benefited the most from this war and is also the most admired person.

But now, in Joan's view, this goal is within reach.

It is obviously not enough to rely on the Kingdom of France alone, but the [-] reinforcements sent by Yolanda of Aragon are expected to arrive in three days.

With these 10 people, Joan of Arc has confidence.

As for whether these 10 people will listen to her... She is not worried.

This experience of being a prisoner made her grow a lot, and she also understood a lot of truths that she didn't understand before.

She escaped from Zaragoza alone, crossed the Pyrenees alone, and finally arrived at Poitiers, the frontal battlefield.

And what about the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Aragon?

They are 10 people, and the marching speed of the army is slow. This is understandable, because it has been like this since ancient times.

but……

These reinforcements set off earlier than Joan of Arc, and the conditions in terms of supplies and other aspects were far better than Joan of Arc's.

In this case, Joan has returned to Poitiers, regained the position of coach, and led the team to a victory, and it will take three days for these reinforcements to arrive.

Obviously, this is deliberately delaying time.

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.

Although Joan of Arc didn't know this sentence, she also knew this truth.

At the most critical moment, the divine soldiers descended to save the Kingdom of France from fire and water. This would allow Yolanda of Aragon to sweep a large area of ​​prestige in the Kingdom of France and gain the support of many people.

It was precisely because of this that Joan was not afraid that those reinforcements would not listen to her.

Joan of Arc knew very well that the enemies of the Kingdom of Aragon were never English, because if Yolanda was willing to help earlier, the Kingdom of Aragon would not need to pay too much to pull the Kingdom of France back from the brink.

At the very least, it will not let the Kingdom of France go to the end where the king was killed and the prince's son fell into the hands of the Ming army.

Therefore, Joan of Arc knew that Yolanda would not spend too much effort on the land of the Kingdom of France. The [-] reinforcements were her limit, and she would not let Zhu Zhanhe take advantage of it.

Unless the Deming fleet is dragged in the English Channel and has no time to escape, Yolanda will go all out to help the Kingdom of France win the battle at home.

Not many French people will see that blocking the Englishmen going south in the English Channel, but the soldiers of the Kingdom of Aragon are fighting on the land of the Kingdom of France. This is something that countless French people will see.

To put it bluntly, Yolanda still wants to monopolize the cake of the Kingdom of France.

This also gave Joan a great opportunity, because on the frontal battlefield, she can still play a certain role, and it will not be small.

However, both Joan of Arc and Yolanda were wrong about one thing.

They all miscalculated Zhu Zhanhe's determination.

……

Zagreb.

"His Royal Highness."

Hearing Zhu Ling's voice, Zhu Zhanhe looked back, then sat on the chair carried by Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping, and quietly looked at the city wall of Zagreb.

There, a group of people wearing the armor of the Holy See Crusaders looked down nervously, as if they were very worried about the upcoming siege of the Ming army.

To be honest, Zhu Zhanhe was quite surprised.

When he left Venice, he received news from the merchant fleet that had been trading with the Kingdom of Aragon and the Kingdom of Castile, saying that the Holy See had elected a new Pope Eugene IV in Aachen. .

Because of the differences in skin color and language, the Ming army was unable to obtain information through infiltration and other methods as before, so he did not know that Eugene IV was elected by several cardinals.

However, according to Zhu Zhanhe's estimation, there should not be many people, maybe not more than 20 people, because...

The fall of the Holy See dealt a heavy blow to Catholicism in Europe.

but!

Anyway, the new pope has been elected, regardless of whether the Roman people support it or not, this means that the emperor Sigismund of the Holy Roman Empire has regained control of the Holy See and can control the personnel of the Holy See.

But under such circumstances, the Crusaders in Zagreb did not make any movement, as if they had been forgotten, which made Zhu Zhanhe very surprised.

He doesn't think that Sigismund will give up this power, because although this power is not enough to reverse the situation on the battlefield, it is also a rare power for him now.

unless……

He can't control this power anymore...

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe beckoned, and after Zhu Ling behind Zhu Zhanhe saw it, he immediately took the blue command flag from the hand of the prince's guard next to him, and waved it in the air.

Soon, a road was opened in front of the Ming army's strict defense, and a group of ragged people were driven out by the Ming army, and they hugged into a group right in front of the Ming army, trembling.

Soon, the crusaders on the top of the city became agitated, because they recognized the identities of these ragged people.

These were all specially left behind by Zhu Zhanhe when Rome fell, because these people were either related to the cardinal or members of the Crusaders.

Otherwise, Zhu Zhanhe would not have wasted food to support them until now.

Seeing the turmoil in the city of Zagreb, but it subsided quickly, Zhu Zhanhe sighed slightly.

As he lightly raised his right hand, Zhu Ling took a red command flag from Shizi's guard and waved it in the air.

Accompanied by screams, before the war started, the south gate of Zagreb was soaked in blood.

Seeing the city of Zagreb commotion again, Zhu Zhanhe stood up and turned to leave.

Religion is still too dangerous. It's not that Zhu Zhanhe doesn't allow the existence of religion, but the level of Catholicism must not exist.

Unless...he didn't conquer Europe.
