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 the low-level infantry to clean up the battlefield, as far as possible to snatch gold coins, silver coins and other property from the fallen French knights, 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 the full-body plate armor of the West. 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 peak armors in the cold weapon era.

You can't rely on defensive power to think that full-body plate armor must be better than tie armor, chain armor, and cloth armor.

Armor also considers cost and purpose.

The manufacturing cost of bar armor and cloth armor is much lower than that of plate armor, and can be equipped with a large number of troops, while full-body plate armor needs to ensure the flexibility and defense of the joints, so the production cost is very high, and only noble knights can afford it. 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 are added together, and there are hundreds of full-body armors.

The second is use. 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.

"Maybe a servant knight order will be established in the future to create a plate armor knight squad, but not now."

Chutian took these armors as trophies and brought them back to the Eastern Han Dynasty for collection, or used to equip the servant army.

More collectible is the French flag.

A young girl from Orleans was brought over. She was only about 17 years old, and her face was still stained with blood. She became the second big figure of Chutian's prisoners of war in China.

She had a stubborn look on her face, and she felt resentful about being a prisoner of the eastern lord.

The despicable lord of the east used an ambush to capture her.

Chutian was quite sure that she was 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 the 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 too big.

In the future, the various French lords will certainly hold grudges against him.

But Chutian could not 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 strength of the French lord.

As for the revenge of the French lords?

There are English, German, Spanish, Roman, Macedonian and other civilizations around France. It is difficult to say whether it can survive in the European continent where there are many powerful enemies in the future.

Furthermore, before the beginning of the Great Voyage Age, apart from the national war, the French lords had no chance to come into contact with Chutian.

"This is the Saintess of France?! She was captured by you!"

Ekaterina was startled to realize that Chutian had captured a remarkable figure.

This time the kingdom of France 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 unify 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, "It's a poor little guy, I didn't expect the saint to fall into the devil's clutches. ."

Catherine still has a chance to go back, because her regiment is preparing to save her.

And Yekaterina is very sure that 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 the principle of equivalent exchange that Chutian likes most, how much would the 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 lord of France be willing to take 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 to 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, she will not surrender to you. You only have two choices. First, exchange her with the lord of France, and he may give you 10,000 taels of gold in exchange. Ten thousand taels of gold can build a small team of heavy cavalry. Second, execute 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 recruit Joan of Arc, and 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 with a word.

How to recruit these stubborn heroes is a big test for the lord.

Chu Tian put his hope on Fang Xuanling, the military advisor.

Fang Xuanling is indecisive.

Fang Xuanling listened patiently, and said slowly: "According to what the lord said, this general Joan of Arc, she is loyal to a kingdom called France. If this kingdom is destroyed, can she be used by the lord? ?"

"The country is ruined? Does it have to be so cruel?"

Chu Tian really could not have 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 Chu Tian.

Chutian did not need to destroy France in person. 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 perishes, I don't know when."

Chutian can't wait to be loyal to Joan of Arc and check her attributes. A legendary hero became a prisoner, but could not use it immediately, Chu Tian always felt a little unhappy.

Fang Xuanling pondered for a while, and had another way: "The lord can separate his relationship with the lord of France, bring him back to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and make three chapters of the law with him. If he serves the lord for five years, he will be released and he can return to France. Five years. , although it can't be vicissitudes of life, 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 wise strategist."

Chutian's servant army is short of generals, capture a Joan of Arc alive, can serve as the general of the servant army.

Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling secretly figured out how to calculate a seventeen-year-old girl.

After knowing what to do, Chu Tian faced the stubborn Joan of Arc and said earnestly: "The two countries are at war for no reason. Your French legion besieged our lord of the Eastern Han first, and I am behind. According to reason, you France are at fault. . You helped the Zhou Dynasty and was captured by me. This is God's will, that is, God's will. God thinks that you are at fault, so let me capture you alive as a 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 could not refute.

This time it was indeed the French lords who joined the other two European lords to take the initiative to attack the Eastern Han lords. 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 ignored one point. Based on the rules of national warfare, there is no difference between justice and injustice in national warfare. It is just 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 return you to him. If he compensates three A thousand taels of gold, and I will release you and all the French captives. We are as good as ever."

Hearing that Chutian is willing to release her and all the French prisoners, and the price is only three thousand taels of gold, I can't help but be surprised: "I take back what I said before, although you are an enemy, but 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, bought Joan of Arc and more than 2,000 French prisoners."

Catherine heard that Chutian planned to sell Joan of Arc and more than 2,000 French prisoners 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 were not thin, and she took out three thousand taels of gold without even frowning.

However, Chu Tian rolled his eyes: "You don't think I will really sell her, do you?"

"you……"

Ekaterina, as the great lord, quickly understood what Chutian meant.

Chu Tian didn't want to let Joan of Arc go at all, and he wouldn'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 sinister!"

Yekaterina couldn't help but whisper.

"Each each other."

Chutian is also troubled by the clever woman Catherine, and Catherine also has the ability of a tsar, and in the future, she may take power and rule the vast Eastern European Plain.

In the bottom of his heart, Chu Tian planned shamelessly to kidnap Ekaterina to Xuzhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty and stifle the birth of a great emperor.

Chutian didn't tell her about not going to let Ekaterina go.

Yekaterina had a plan in mind, but she didn't tell Chutian.

Two future emperor-like figures clashed 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 Army, and the crisis was relieved.

"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.

Chutian accepted it unceremoniously, 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 thought that Chutian was deliberately making things difficult for him, so he would drive out Zongjie.

With 300,000 taels of gold, a knight group with tens of thousands of knights can be formed!

Chutian was indeed deliberately embarrassing it. 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: "Unfortunately, your lord is unwilling 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 I'll hire you, make a contribution, and in five years I can send you back to France."

"really?"

"I, Chu Zimou, never break my promise."
