Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 271: Captive of the Virgin of France
On the battlefield where the French knights were ambushed, corpses were scattered everywhere. At least a thousand French soldiers were killed in the ambush, and two thousand French soldiers were captured.
Among the 2,000 French soldiers captured, there were more than a dozen knights in full armor like iron cans, and the rest were hundreds of knights.
Le Yi ordered low-level infantrymen to clean up the battlefield, collect gold, silver and other property from the fallen French knights as much as possible, and even strip off their armor. Some armors are worth hundreds of taels of silver.
A full-body plate armor was presented to Chutian as a trophy. This full body armor can cover the whole person, and the joints are also extremely complicated with steel sleeves and bolts, and the joints are fastened with screws.
"Plate armor is good armor, but unfortunately it is tailor-made and must be used by soldiers of similar stature."
Chutian is somewhat familiar with Western full-body plate armor. The real rise of this kind of plate armor, which takes the defense to the extreme, was in the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance. When plate armor became popular, firearms advanced, and heavy arquebuses to restrain it appeared, so plate armor was quickly abandoned.
In "Lord", plate armor can be said to be one of the most peak armors in the cold weapon era.
You can't rely on defensive power to think that full-body plate armor is necessarily better than tie, chain, and cloth armor.
Armor also considers cost and purpose.
The manufacturing cost of tie armor and cloth armor is much lower than that of plate armor, which can be equipped with a large number of troops. However, the whole body plate armor needs to ensure the flexibility and defense of the joints, so the production cost is very high. Only noble knights can use it. Affordable. Not to mention 10,000 plate armors, or even 1,000 plate armors, Chutian would feel distressed.
The nobles under the lords of France and Germany, together, have a hundred full-body armor.
The second is purpose. Under the premise of being rich, knights and walking knights will choose to purchase plate armor. If the light infantry still wears plate armor, it means that he is not comfortable with himself. At the same time, the plate armor will affect the longbowman's archery, because the longbowman's chest will be bound by the plate armor when shooting arrows.
"Perhaps a servant knight order will be formed in the future to create a squad of plate knights, but not now."
Chutian took these armors as trophies and brought them back to the Eastern Han Dynasty to collect them, or to equip their servants.
More collectible is the French battle flag.
A young girl from Orleans was brought over, only about 17 years old, with blood on her face, she became the second big figure of Chutian's prisoners of war in the country.
She had a stubborn look on her face, resenting being held captive by the eastern lord.
The vile lord of the East used the ambush to capture her.
Chutian is quite sure that she is the legendary hero of France, Joan of Arc, the girl who led the French army against the invasion of the English army in the Hundred Years' War, and once won a victory.
Although she was eventually captured and executed, she helped shape the French nation and prevented England from annexing France in the Hundred Years' War.
Therefore, her popularity in France is higher than that of most generals, and her ability is similar to that of Li Xiuning, which motivates the morale of the entire army.
"The national hero of France was captured by me and returned to the main world. Those French lords will definitely go crazy..."
Chu Tian found himself playing a big game.
In the future, the various French lords will definitely hold grudges against him.
But Chutian couldn't let Joan of Arc go. A legendary hero of France, whose popularity in Europe can be ranked first, how can he be let go easily.
Even if she is unwilling to surrender, she cannot be put back to strengthen the French lord.
As for the revenge of the French lords?
Flange is surrounded by civilizations such as England, Germany, Spain, Rome, and Macedonia.
Furthermore, before the beginning of the Great Voyage Age, apart from the national war, the French lords had no chance to contact Chutian.
"This is the Saint of France?! She was captured by you!"
Ekaterina is startled to realize that Chutian has captured a remarkable figure.
This time, the French kingdom suffered heavy losses, even more heavy than the losses of the Mughal Empire.
The first lord of the Mughal Empire was killed, and the second and third lords replaced him to unite the Mughal Empire.
The top heroes of civilization were captured alive, but no one could replace Joan of Arc in France.
"French players will kill you." Ekaterina said to Chutian, and looked up and down the French legend, "What a poor little guy, I didn't expect the saint to fall into the devil. In the claws."
Ekaterina still has a chance to go back, because her legion is preparing to save her.
And Ekaterina is pretty sure she can go back.
But she knew that Joan of Arc was captured alive by Chutian, and with Chutian's character of making the best use of everything, Chutian would probably not let Joan of Arc go.
According to Chutian's favorite exchange principle, how much would a French lord pay in exchange for a legendary hero?
A Joan of Arc may be worth tens of thousands or 100,000 troops.
Would the lords of France be willing to pay that price in exchange?
"Release me now!"
The girl from Orleans stared at Chutian, her eyes as clear as lake water, but with a hint of anger. She is now guarded by Li Xiuning's Detachment of Women.
"Be loyal to me, or die."
"Better die!"
Sure enough, Chutian's attempt to recruit Joan of Arc failed, and there was no room for manoeuvre.
Joan of Arc is probably as loyal as Yue Fei and Zhao Yun. She is loyal to France. If she wants to make her work for the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is strange that she agrees.
"Give it up. Even if you burn her to death at the stake, she will not surrender to you. You have only two options. First, exchange her with the lord of France, and he may give you 10,000 taels of gold. Exchange. Ten thousand taels of gold, you can build a small team of heavy cavalry. Second, kill her and make a complete revenge with France. France will also forever lack the powerful hero of Joan of Arc, and she will not become your enemy in the future."
Ekaterina scoffed at Chutian's attempt to surrender Joan of Arc, and she did not forget to sneer.
Chu Tian looked at Ekaterina.
Ekaterina found that Chu Tian's eyes were suddenly very aggressive, which made her panic: "I'm just telling the truth, you have no other choice..."
"You are just my captive, and you are not qualified to point fingers at me."
Chu Tian choked on Ekaterina.
How to recruit these stubborn heroes is a big test for the lord.
Chu Tian put his hope on the military advisor Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling is indecisive.
Fang Xuanling listened patiently and said slowly: "According to the lord's statement, this General Joan of Arc, her allegiance is to a kingdom called France. If this kingdom is destroyed, wouldn't she be able to do it? For the master?"
"The country is ruined? Does it have to be so cruel?"
Chutian really never imagined that in order to gain the loyalty of the opponent's hero, he would destroy the opponent's country.
How do I feel like the villain in the novel...
"If the surrounding area of France is really as the lord said, there are many powerful enemies, especially the Roman civilization is the most powerful, then it is not impossible for it to be destroyed by the Roman civilization."
Fang Xuanling's words reminded Chutian.
Chutian did not need to destroy France himself. There are dozens or hundreds of civilizations in Europe, fighting against each other. The Kingdom of France may not be able to survive, and may be destroyed in a few years.
"France will perish, I don't know when."
Chutian can't wait to swear allegiance to Joan of Arc, check her attributes. A legendary hero became a prisoner, but could not use it immediately, Chu Tian always felt a little unhappy.
Fang Xuanling fell into a short period of thinking, and had another way: "The lord can separate his relationship with the lord of France, take him back to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and make a three-chapter agreement with him. If he has served as the lord for five years, he will be released and he can return to France. In five years, although the sea cannot be vicissitudes, it is enough to change many things.”
"Hire?"
Chu Tian did not think that there is such a way to use Joan of Arc to work for himself.
Five years in "Lord" can change the pattern of civilization. Who knows if the Kingdom of France will still exist in five years?
In addition, after five years, Chutian can still think of a way to keep Joan of Arc. Five years and five years, five years and five years... After she has become familiar with the Eastern Han Dynasty, she may be happy here and not thinking about France.
"It's still a brilliant military advisor."
Chutian's servant army is short of generals, and a Joan of Arc is captured alive to serve as a general of the servant army.
Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling secretly figured out how to calculate a seventeen-year-old girl.
After knowing it, Chu Tian faced the stubborn Joan of Arc and said earnestly: "The two countries are at war for no reason. Your French army besieged our lord of the Eastern Han first, and I am settling behind. According to reason, you France is at fault. You helped Zhou and I captured you. This is God's will, that is, God's will. God thinks you are at fault, so let me capture you alive as punishment for you."
Joan of Arc's eyes widened, she became a prisoner, how is it God's arrangement? How did France become the unjust party?
She wanted to refute Chu Tian, but found that she couldn't.
This time it was indeed the French lord who joined the other two European lords to take the initiative to attack the Eastern Han lord. According to Chutian's logic, if people do not commit me, I will not offend others. If others offend me, I will offend others. France is an injustice party.
Joan of Arc overlooked one point. Based on the rules of national warfare, there is no difference between justice and injustice in national warfare. It is only for the sake of their respective civilizational living space, and there is nothing wrong with taking the initiative to attack.
Seeing that the other party was misled by him, Chu Tian continued: "But I am not a ruthless person. I will send someone to negotiate with your lord. If he is willing to compensate one thousand taels of gold, I will give you back to him. He pays three thousand taels of gold, and I will release you and all the French captives. We are as good as ever."
I heard that Chutian was willing to release her and all the French prisoners, and the price was only 3,000 taels of gold, so I couldn't help but be surprised: "I take back what I said before. Although you are an enemy, you are... a good person..."
"You take good care of this girl and don't make her feel wronged."
Chutian is serious.
Li Xiuning had no choice but to cooperate with Chu Tian: "Until her lord answers, her subordinates will not make her suffer any grievances."
"I paid 3,000 taels of gold to buy Joan of Arc and more than 2,000 French prisoners."
Ekaterina heard that Chutian planned to sell Joan of Arc and more than 2,000 French captives at a low price, and made a private offer to Chutian.
3,000 taels of gold to buy a legendary hero and more than 2,000 experienced warriors, this deal is not a loss.
Unexpectedly, Yekaterina's assets are not thin, she took out 3,000 taels of gold without even frowning.
However, Chu Tian rolled his eyes: "You don't think I'll really sell her, do you?"
"You..."
As a high lord, Ekaterina quickly understood what Chutian meant.
Chu Tian didn't want to let Joan of Arc go, and he didn't even seriously negotiate with the French lord. He was just cheating on the feelings of an ignorant seventeen-year-old girl.
"You are too insidious!"
Ekaterina couldn't help but sigh.
"each other."
Chutian is also troubled by the clever woman Catherine, and Catherine has the ability of a tsar, and in the future, she may be in power and rule the vast Eastern European Plain.
Chu Tian had a cheeky plan in his heart to kidnap Ekaterina to Xuzhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty and stifle the birth of a great emperor.
Chutian didn't tell her about the matter of not letting go of Ekaterina.
Ekaterina had a plan in her heart, but she didn't tell Chutian.
Two future emperor-like figures clash invisibly.
Chutian captured Joan of Arc, played himself as a victim, gained the initial goodwill of Joan of Arc, and the influence of the characteristics of "Khan of Heaven", at least Joan of Arc did not dislike Chutian that much .
The next step is to use some tricks to create a rift in the relationship between Joan of Arc and her lord.
Zhang Dao was rescued by Chu Tian, and he chased and killed the European Legion~IndoMTL.com~ The crisis was resolved.
"I can give you all four cities."
After Zhang Dao learned that it was Chu Zimou's arrival, he generously ceded the four cities occupied by European lords to Chutian. Without Chutian, he might be defeated and killed. And Chutian went south, the purpose is obviously to annex the southern city.
Chu Tian accepted it rudely, captured four cities occupied by European lords one by one, and expanded his territory to eleven cities.
With only the points produced by the city, he can almost sit firmly in the first position.
Chutian sent an envoy to ask the French lord to redeem Joan of Arc with 300,000 taels of gold.
The French lord believed that Chutian was deliberately making things difficult for him, and he would drive out Zongjie.
With 300,000 taels of gold, you can form a knighthood with tens of thousands of knights!
Chutian was indeed deliberately embarrassing him. He asked the envoy to describe the process to the captured Joan of Arc, and the amount of the ransom was changed from 300,000 taels to 3,000 taels.
Chu Tian concluded: "It's a pity that your lord is not willing to exchange even a thousand taels of gold. It seems that I can only take you to the Eastern Han Dynasty as punishment for him... There is another option, If you hire me and do a good job, in five years I can send you back to France."
"Really?"
"I, Chu Zimou, never break my promise."
