Joan of Arc Wins Victory Over the English at Orleans.
Joan and her army had amazing success against the English. One after another Joan and her seemingly invincible army took over more and more English forts. When only the strongest fort remained and Joan was leading the attacking force, she received an arrow to the chest and was carried out of battle. Her soldiers began to retreat. Joan demanded her soldiers to wait until she recovered, and she promised that when she had her white banner in her hand again, they will be victorious. In a few minutes she mounted her horse again and started to ride rapidly up to the fort. All her soldiers followed her lead and began a siege on the English. The very next day the enemy's troops were forced to withdraw from the city and the English siege was at end. The French soldiers were grateful at the victory and called Joan the "Maid of Orleans."
