Chapter 1387: Deni Dies in Battle

The power of example is very strong.

When the commander of an army is a person of noble character and respected by his soldiers, the spirit of this commander will infect his soldiers.

Such an army is a very terrible army.

I would rather fight an enemy army that is three times larger than my army than fight such an army.

——In the casual conversation between Yu Sucheng and Raymond in the 297th year of the imperial calendar

It is not quite accurate to say that Raymond was surrounded by the singing of the soldiers of the Rollin Army.

It should be said that all the soldiers of the Knights of Michael were surrounded by the singing of the soldiers of the Rollin Army.

Not to mention the soldiers of the Britannia Army, even Raymond had never seen such a scene and was frightened by it.

The soldiers of the Rollin Army sang this song that they could not understand while launching wave after wave of fearless and fierce attacks on them.

The soldiers of the Britannia Army were all frightened.

Frightened by the bravery and ferocity of the soldiers of the Rolin Army.

Morale dropped at a visible speed.

On the battlefield, morale is such an important thing - no need to elaborate.

When morale is low, even the most elite troops will become a weak army like a bear.

The Britannia Army's front line, which had been advancing forward, began to retreat for the first time.

And it began to retreat at a fairly fast speed.

Reinforcements from the city center and other city walls also arrived at this moment.

With this momentum, the soldiers of the Rolin Army pushed the front line of the north wall back to the wall in one breath, and drove all the generals and soldiers of the Britannia Army out of the city...

The flag of the Knights of Michael was just planted on the north wall of Orleans for a short time before it was pulled down and thrown outside the city like a rag...

After the Knights of Michael briefly ruled the north wall of Orleans, their new territory was taken back...

...

...

Orleans - still not fallen!

Today is undoubtedly the most critical day since the Battle of Orleans began.

The north wall was once in the hands of the enemy.

The Britannian army once entered the city of Orleans.

But the defenders of Orleans seemed to be assisted by God, and drove back all the Britannian army, recaptured the north wall, and defended Orleans.

However... the defenders of Orleans also paid a great price.

The defenders of the north wall suffered heavy casualties.

Nearly 70% of the soldiers died in the battle.

Among them was Suchet, a young militiaman with great skills who was well-known among regular soldiers and militiamen.

When night fell, the defenders of Orleans found Suchet's body in the ruins that were knocked down by the boulder while cleaning the battlefield.

Suchet fell face down.

From the appearance of his body, it is not difficult to see that he fell while advancing.

He never stood up again after falling.

There were dozens of wounds of various sizes on his body.

It was unclear whether he died of excessive bleeding or exhaustion.

All we knew was that even though he was dead, he was still holding a stone with a lot of blood on it in his right hand.

The personnel responsible for cleaning up the battlefield had to use a lot of strength to pry open Suchet's fingers and take the stone off.

Suchet was lucky because his body was well preserved and he could still be recognized.

Suchet's mother took Suchet's body away while wailing.

The reason why Suchet was lucky was mainly because too many bodies were damaged to the point where they could not be recognized.

For example, when cleaning up the ruins smashed by the boulders, a large amount of meat paste was dug out from the ruins.

It was a veritable meat paste.

Although a considerable number of people were buried by the rubble, they still had the strength and physical strength to crawl out of the ruins.

But there were also a considerable number of people who were hit by huge stones and wood and turned into a pool of meat paste.

You simply cannot recognize who is who in this pile of flesh.

For this pile of flesh that no one can recognize who is who, they can only gather them together for cremation, and then bury the ashes together...

In addition to the large number of soldiers who died and injured today, there was also a very important person who died for the defenders of Orleans.

This person was their commander-in-chief, Denis de Dupont.

After driving the Britannia Army down the north wall, a large number of soldiers came forward to check on the situation of General Denis.

When the soldiers came forward to check on Denis, Denis had already stopped breathing.

No one knows when he died.

No one knows whether Denis said any last words when he died.

From Denis's posture when he died, it can be seen that Denis had fought with death before he died.

Denis was not lying on the ground, but kneeling on the ground.

His hands tightly grasped the flagpole, and his forehead was against the flagpole-he did not let go of the military flag in his hand until he died.

He wanted to lean on the flagpole to stabilize his body.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stand up again with his body slowly losing strength.

So, he knelt on the ground with his hands tightly holding the flagpole, his forehead against the flagpole.

After learning that Denis had died, everyone in Orleans, from senior generals to ordinary soldiers, was in great sorrow and pain.

The noble character of Denis was known to all the generals and soldiers in the city.

Denis was therefore highly respected by the generals and soldiers in the city.

The respected commander was killed.

The generals and soldiers felt sad and painful, but also quite angry.

Morale and fighting spirit soared at a terrifying rate.

Many generals and soldiers had only one thought in their hearts - to defend Orleans to the death, to defeat the Britannia army, and to avenge the commander-in-chief Denis.

The next day, the generals and soldiers of the Rolin army, with their morale and fighting spirit soaring, burst out with extremely strong fighting power.

Whether it was the Knights of Michael or the Knights of Raziel.

No matter which regiment, the generals and soldiers could not do anything about any of the walls of Orleans.

The Britannia army fell into an unprecedented bitter battle.

After such a bitter battle lasted for many days, the Britannia knights, who felt helpless, held a large military meeting to discuss the next battle plan.

The knights of the Knights of Michael and the Knights of Raziel were to attend.

The meeting was held in the main camp of the Knights of Raziel.

In order to hold such a large meeting, Harry specially built a huge military tent at the main camp.

In the center of the military tent, there was a long table.

The knights of the Knights of Michael sat on the left side of the long table.

The knights of the Knights of Raziel sat on the right side of the long table.

Harry and Willy sat side by side at the main seat of the long table.

Because the long table was very wide, even if Harry and Willy sat side by side at the main seat, they did not feel crowded.

As soon as the meeting began, the tent was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
