Chapter 87 One person
Looking at the Burgundy soldier with an excited expression, Joan of Arc was still calm, not as angry as Bai Zhou had expected.
Perhaps, she understood that her hatred should be to vent her grudge against the Burgundian nobles who incited the war, rather than these actually pitiful soldiers.
Perhaps, she knew that now was not the time to be angry, and what she should do was to stabilize the emotions of these soldiers.
Or perhaps, the reason why she attacked Burgundy was not to revenge her family, but to resist the Burgundy like she did to resist the English. Therefore, she did not need to express anger to these ordinary soldiers.
Joan of Arc rode his horse quietly through several rows of straits formed by Burgundian prisoners. At this moment, it seemed that she was a leader and guide, hundreds of Burgundian prisoners seemed to be helpless, followed Joan of Arc, leaving Bo Zhou and others looking at each other.
"Young Master," Mi Chuan swallowed and asked, "I have a question and don't know if I should ask."
"Say." Bai Zhou replied.
The scene in front of him was indeed a bit beyond their expectations. No one expected at first that Joan of Arc would be the key figure in their suppression of these prisoners, and it could be found that this effect was really not ordinary. Joan of Arc just needed to walk among them, and these prisoners "consciously" followed Joan of Arc. They, the Western Qin people, have become supporting roles.
(The most tragic thing about a person is that in his own life, he can only play supporting roles)
"It seems that this woman is really amazing." Mi Chuan said. After all, he didn't know who Joan of Arc was before, but he just heard the young master say her amazingness. Although he knew that the young master didn't need to lie about this matter, he also found it very incredible.
Even when the young master decided to take the risk to rescue Joan of Arc, he himself disagreed, but due to his identity, he had to obey the young master's orders.
But in the current situation, although Joan of Arc's talent in military affairs is still not visible, it can at least prove that the young master said it is true, and Mi Chuan can also see that the name of Joan of Arc is much louder than that of the Western Qin people.
"Ask whatever you want, and you will learn to beat around the bush." Bai Zhou asked with a smile. "This woman is indeed very powerful" is not a problem. At most, it is just an exclamation. If you put it strictly, it is a compliment to Bai Zhou for his unique vision. Rescuing a person who will definitely be useful is suspected of flattering. Obviously, this is not Mi Chuan's style.
After hearing Bai Zhou's words, Mi Chuan couldn't help but feel embarrassed, but she continued to say what she was in her heart: "I want to ask, if we fight against the Burgundians in the future and bring Joan of Arc with us, is it possible that they will directly surrender without fighting?"
After saying that, Mi Chuan felt a little whimsical and looked embarrassed again. After all, if that were true, Joan of Arc would not have been captured by the Burgundians in Compière, nor would he have tried to escape several times.
Bai Zhou smiled and understood that the reason why Mi Chuan didn't ask directly was that he himself felt that this question was a bit "naive". But now looking at the situation in front of him, normal people would have such an idea. Even Bai Zhou had the urge to read all of Joan of Arc's "specialties" and "titles" at that moment (of course, Bai Zhou got nothing except his name), but immediately, Bai Zhou also figured it out. It was a coincidence, not a coincidence.
It is a coincidence that this group of Burgundian soldiers happened to encounter a defeat. Although they were defeated inexplicably, it was precisely because of this inexplicable that they felt more panic in their hearts than ordinary defeated soldiers. In addition, they were blocked by the "troop" of Western Qin. You should know that there are more than a dozen big and small roads in and out of the Belfort Mountains. They chose one of them to meet the "troop" of Western Qin. Even they themselves believed that there was no difference between resisting and not resisting. Although there seemed to be only six people in this "troop", who cares? After all, the first resistance place must be a death. In other words, no one wants to die.
Moreover, there were not many officers among the defeated soldiers, and they were all low-level officers. They belonged to the exploited class, and they were also the ones who needed to be redeemed when they were struggling in life. Therefore, in front of Joan of Arc, they were actually no different from ordinary soldiers. They were all "lost lambs". Even though some officers did not agree with Joan of Arc and regarded Joan of Arc as a witch, it was obvious that the proportion of these officers was too low and they could not make any waves.
But if Claude, the leader of this army, or any officer who has enough status to command this part of the soldiers, you can imagine that if he found that only six or seven people blocked his way to escape west, even if one of them was the Duke of Switzerland and the other was the Saint, in Claude's eyes, in front of the sword, these were just ordinary people. He would not care whether he would go to hell after he died if he killed a Saint.
Under the unified command of such a leader, two or three hundred people would be captured by a few people without special circumstances. After all, this is not in the age of hot weapons. A machine gun swept dozens or hundreds of people without pressure. As long as a position is in the right position, there is no problem for several people to escort hundreds of people. But in the age of cold weapons, except for the long-range killing method of bows and crossbows, which is almost equal to a one-time attack weapon at a close range, the rest of the weapons almost need to be close enough to exert their power. As long as someone on the other side can command properly, it is not difficult for a few empty-handed people to entangle a soldier with weapons.
Therefore, this situation must be caused by various coincidences. On the real battlefield, it is obviously unrealistic to rely solely on Joan of Arc to win, but of course it cannot be denied that with Joan of Arc on the battlefield, it will still have certain effects on the psychology of enemy soldiers.
And it is not a coincidence, the reason is very simple, because Joan of Arc, and only Joan of Arc would have such an effect. Except for her, even if Charles VII, the King of Dharma standing in front of the Burgundians, or the Duke of John, the highest leader of Burgundy, there would be no such situation that people could follow involuntarily.
Joan of Arc is Joan of Arc, the Orleans girl, the saint of God's blessing, and it seems that she really has the ability to worship people in the subconscious mind.
