The awakening of the nations is a game that focuses on a variety of heroic warrior combinations. According to incomplete statistics, there are about 50 to 60 excellent commanders of different qualities in the Awakening of the Nations. These heroic characters can basically find prototypes in history. Such as Cao Cao, Takeda Shingen, and Joan of Arc are all ace characters in the game.
Speaking of Joan of Arc, players who believe that the awakening of all nations will not be unfamiliar. In terms of quality, Joan of Arc is among the rarest golden generals in the game. Coupled with the fact that the Awakening of Nations belongs to the European and American cartoon style, it highlights the cuteness of the character of Joan of Arc.
However, many players may not know that the historical Joan of Arc was actually executed by the Church of England for "heresy". Why did joan of Arc in history become so famous? Why did the British put her to death for heresy?
In the middle of the Pyramid Square in Paris, France, there is a tall gilded bronze statue. This bronze statue has stood for hundreds of years, and she is Joan of Arc, the national hero of France. Joan of Arc was only 19 years old at the time of his death and was burned at the stake by the British.
Joan of Arc was born on 6 January 1412 AD, from the border of the Ardennes and Lorraine regions of Champagne, France, in a rural area called Donremi, whose original name was Jeanne Dacques.
At that time, a large area of northern France was occupied by the English. The village where Joan of Arc was located was repeatedly attacked by the Burgundians, who were also pawns of the English army. In the eyes of joan of arc, the Englishmen were all evil villains, and one day they would be eliminated all.
Before 1428, Joan of Arc was a fledgling pawn. In 1429, Joan of Arc claimed to have been "inspired by the Lord", and after several twists and turns, she personally led an army to relieve the seven-month siege of Orléans.
Later, the fortress of the Duke of Bedford, the British commander, was broken, and the fortress south of the Loire Bridge was captured, killing thousands of English nobles and forcing the English army to retreat.
In July 1429, Joan of Arc continued to penetrate deeper into the northern French towns occupied by the British. In mid-July 1429, Joan of Arc persuaded Charles VII to be crowned king at Reims Cathedral. Although Joan of Arc did not have any formal position as commander-in-chief, she had the right to refute the military plans formulated by the French nobility and Charles VII, and even had the right to lead the army alone.
That is to say, she could act alone, and many ordinary French soldiers and civilians preferred to obey Joan of Arc's orders.
But even so, Joan of Arc was not complacent. She repeatedly led her army deep into the Tiger's Den, beating the British and fleeing, recovering large areas of territory for King Charles VII. It can be said that in the Hundred Years of anglo-French War, the French were continuously humiliated by the British for more than 90 years. It was not until the advent of Joan of Arc that the French turned the tide of battle.
After saying this for half a day, Joan of Arc is so heroic, what is so remarkable about this young girl? When the two armies were fighting, why did Joan of Arc defeat the invincible English army?
According to historical records, when Joan of Arc led the army into battle, she never held a sword in her hand, but a large banner with the names of Jesus and the Virgin Mary embroidered on it. Before the battle, Joan of Arc held high the banner and gave a speech to encourage morale. No matter how unfavorable the battle situation, Joan of Arc will always hold this big flag and charge forward.
Some people say that this great banner in the hands of Joan of Arc has divine power and can protect her safety. With this big flag, the British people are all shying away.
Of course, this is just superstitious doctrine. It is not difficult to see from the official information that Joan of Arc is an ordinary girl. She did not know much about the whole situation of the Anglo-French war, and she could fight wherever she wanted.
The main reason why Joan of Arc would hold the banner of Jesus and the Virgin mary was mainly to carry the banner of Jesus and make the French believe that they were messengers sent by the Lord to save the people. (Meaning three angels under the mortal)
However, the two armies fought not by personal brute force, but by an understanding of formation and tactical play. Joan of Arc won many victories in the early days of the war for the simple reason.
First, Through religious influence, Joan of Arc awakened the hidden bloodiness of the French grassroots commoners. In addition, when Joan of Arc led the battle, she did not stick to small sections, and often did not wait for the English army to swing the formation, so she let a large number of ordinary Frenchmen charge forward with rudimentary weapons. (Random punches to kill the teacher is this reason)
Believe it or not, in August 1429, Joan of Arc met the main English army led by the Duke of Bedford, and the two sides played a draw. At that time, Joan of Arc had a force of 15,000 men, and the Duke of Bedford had only 3,000 to 5,000 men. Even in the case of three times the number of enemies, Joan of Arc failed to take down his opponents, which is very telling.
Joan of Arc's courage and willpower were unquestionable, but she had no unique insight into the situation on the battlefield as a whole, including the combat formation and tactical play of the corps. Blindly using religious renderings will not allow Joan of Arc to win every battle.
In September 1429, Joan of Arc was anxious to attack Paris, resulting in a leg wound, and Charles VII and other French nobles demanded that Joan of Arc withdraw her troops quickly.
It was not until 1430 that Joan of Arc repeatedly asked Charles VII to attack Paris without success, and she began to act privately.
In May 1430, Joan of Arc and her troops were ambushed by burgundian troops on the outskirts of Binne, and she herself was captured. In September 1430, the Burgundians handed joan of Arc to the English.
The British staged a so-called "formal trial," which ended in the death sentence of Joan of Arc for "religious heresy." On 30 May 1431, Joan of Arc was tied to a stake in the market of the city of Rouen and burned alive.
Joan of Arc's sacrifice prompted the French to join the enemy and expel the British. At the end of 1431, the people of France organized rebels to retake Paris, Rouen, and William I's hometown of Normandy and Aquitaine.
In 1453, the Hundred Years' War between England and France came to an end. Although Joan of Arc has been dead for more than 20 years, she has also made great contributions to winning the war for the French people.
However, later experts have come to different conclusions when discussing why Joan of Arc was punished with "heretical sins". Students think that Joan of Arc played the banner of Jesus and the Virgin Mary, and was even more a messenger of God, leading the French to drive out the enemy. In any case, the English and the French are both the people of Jesus.
Whether Joan of Arc leads an army to attack the English army, or the English army attacks Joan of Arc in turn, it belongs to the family to fight its own family, which is not in line with the concept of "God loves the world" preached by Jesus.
Speaking of which, there are many sects even within Christ. In the face of the interests of the country, any idea of benevolence will be destroyed.
In this way, the historical Joan of Arc, in the eyes of the British, was a complete heretic, and needed to burn it with divine fire to purify it.
But the French do not think so, Joan of Arc in the hearts of the French people is like a huge banner, on the road of national resistance to cut through thorns.
Finally, let's talk to my classmates about what is rare about Joan of Arc in the awakening of all nations?
First of all, Joan of Arc is a civilian hero in the game, and when fighting in teams and melee, it belongs to the mandatory buff mechanic. Joan of Arc can shorten the skill cycle of two rounds for everyone, and when fighting, Joan of Arc attracts fire as a vice general, and is very fleshy, belonging to the hero of the golden oil, belonging to the hero necessary for team battles.
Joan of Arc can also be paired with any hero, whether it is a team battle stream or a farming stream, Joan of Arc's passive and active skills are very practical.
Therefore, Joan of Arc in the Awakening of nations is a brave and warlike female hero, alluding to the image of Joan of Arc who led the French to a new life in history. Because the historical Joan of Arc is also a heroine who is not afraid of power and vows to fight the enemy to the death.
