"Chapter 53: The Hard War, Chapter 10"

If a man sees with his eyes and hears with his ears, he is sure that no mortal can keep secrets. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info If his lips are closed, he will talk with his fingertips, and betrayal is pervasive.

- Sigmund Freud (Austrian Jewish psychologist, psychiatrist, founder of the psychoanalytic school)

An army of more than 200,000 orcs is deployed in four small fortresses, with an average of more than 50,000 orc warriors in each small fortress, and the small fortress is designed with strong walls in front to defend against enemies, and easy access to the rear to increase the speed of reinforcements.

No one thought that the once convenient reinforcement passage would now become a shortcut for the orc army to attack the Imperial army, starting with the first orc warrior killing the fortress along the passage, followed by a steady stream of orc warriors killing out of the fortress.

General Nebela, who wanted to block the orc army in the fortress, led tens of thousands of soldiers of the city defense army to meet him at the moment when the orc warriors rushed out of the fortress, and the city defense army, which had an absolute numerical advantage, besieged thousands of orc soldiers near the fortress as soon as the battle began.

The orc warriors who were surrounded by the regiments did not care about the siege of the city defense army at all, and the tens of thousands of soldiers of the city defense army who fought hard tried their best to annihilate this orc force that had been killed, but the orc warriors were not so easy to deal with.

Dogmen and pigmen warriors, armed with long knives and battle axes, roared slogans that humans could not understand, and slashed their weapons at the siege of the city defense soldiers, who were far inferior in combat effectiveness to orc warriors, and were immediately killed and wounded.

If this was a war between the same clan, the soldiers of the city defense army, who were not strong in willpower, might have collapsed long ago, but this was a war between humans and orcs, and the soldiers of the city defense army with heavy casualties still rushed to the forefront of the fight against the orcs.

"General, the combat effectiveness of those city defense troops is still too weak, it is impossible for them alone to block the attack of the orc army, it only takes three hours at most, and the orc army in the eleventh fortress can crush them, should we prepare early?"

"General López, do you think that the 80,000 soldiers of General Bella and General D'Ambrosio will not be able to hold back the orc army for three hours?"

"General, I, Bella, and D'Ambrosio were all personally cultivated by the Marquis, and I trust them as if I believed in myself, but after all, we are just ordinary people, and the soldiers of the city defense army are really too different from the orc army in terms of combat effectiveness!"

"Yes, we are all just ordinary people, and the gap between our army and the orc army is difficult to make up for with other external forces, but our ancestors still defeated the army of the orc empire when there was no Sunset Fortress, didn't we?"

"General, the strength of our Celestial Dragon Empire ...... at that time"

Without waiting for López to continue, Bai Feng, whose face was full of solemnity, interrupted: "No matter how much the current empire is weaker than the empire at that time, I always firmly believe that the invincible will is the greatest reliance of our imperial soldiers to defeat the enemy!"

"General López, you immediately go and assign Nishizawa's 3rd Brigade and Morris's 4th Brigade to General Atos's command. ”

"No!"

"General Athos, fifteen minutes later, you will lead 8,000 soldiers of the 3rd and 4th Corps to the aid of General Bella. ”

"No!"

After seeing López and Athos leave, Bai Feng ordered the three generals who were still beside him: "General Hans, General Assasis, the two of you leading the soldiers of the Special Operations Wing to advance ten miles immediately, and be ready to reinforce the city defense army at any time. ”

"No!"

"General Aetius, you lead all the infantry units in the personal guard to stay where you are, if there is an emergency on the fortress, you can directly lead the army to reinforce, otherwise, you will stick to the place, and you are not allowed to act without my orders!"

"No!"

After finishing speaking, Bai Feng followed behind the special operations wing that was slowly moving with nine teams of systematic cavalry and Cabaye's cavalry brigade, and the eight thousand soldiers led by Athos quickly rushed to the city defense army whose casualties were skyrocketing, and joined the battle against the orc army.

The arrival of 8,000 troops did not fundamentally change the balance of power between the enemy and us, but it was crucial to boost the morale of the soldiers of the city defense army, and at this time, the orc army that had slaughtered the eleventh fortress had exceeded 10,000!

The special operations wing of Hans and Assassis, together with half of López's assault wing, immediately formed a defensive line on the spot, while the field doctor, Huamu, escorted by Parthian archers, approached General D'Ambrosio.

Of the 40,000 city defense soldiers who were fighting fiercely with the orc army, nearly 10,000 were killed, and no less than 8,000 were wounded and incapacitated.

However, General D'Ambrosio had no way of treating the wounded, and it was not until the arrival of Hua Mu that the wounded soldiers, who were wailing in pain, were treated in time, but they had at least a day or two to recuperate before they could regain their combat effectiveness.

General D'Ambrosio, who knew that it was useless to keep the wounded soldiers, directly asked the wounded soldiers who could barely walk after being treated by Hua Mu to seek refuge in the Twelfth Fortress; Bai Feng, who had always valued the healing of wounded soldiers, naturally would not refuse this great gift sent to the door.

In less than an hour of fighting, less than 15,000 of the 40,000 city defense troops on the battlefield remained, and more than 2,000 officers and men of the 8,000 commando wings who rushed to reinforce were also killed, but the battle was still raging.

General D'Ambrosio sent 20,000 city defenders to reinforce General Bella, and Bai Feng also sent Assassis with 6,000 soldiers of the Special Operations Wing to reinforce General Athos, and the total number of defenders besieging the orc army remained above 45,000.

The fierce battle caused heavy casualties to the defenders, and also caused heavy casualties to the attacking orc army, and the death of more than 5,000 orc warriors slowed down the offensive of the orc army.

The scorching battle between 47,000 defenders and 16,000 orc warriors symbolized that the battle had officially entered its fiercest state, and General D'Ambrosio and Bai Feng combined had 34,000 soldiers who had not entered the battle, not including the cavalry.

The orc army occupying the eleventh fortress was as high as 30,000 orc warriors who did not enter the battle, and judging from the comparison of forces between the two sides, the orc army still had an absolute advantage, and victory seemed to be only a matter of time for them.

But Bai Feng is not a person who gives up easily, there is only a glimmer of hope of victory in this battle, he will do his best for this line of hope of victory, and he is even ready to mobilize the 39th Army and the 40th Army to come for reinforcements!

The 39th and 40th Legions, deployed behind the Twelfth Fortress, were the key forces that Bai Feng used to ensure the retreat of his army, and unless it was a last resort, Bai Feng would definitely not easily mobilize these two legions.

The unpredictable situation of the Sunset Fortress has made Bai Feng's precautions constantly fail; this reality makes Bai Feng have to sigh that accidents in war are indeed everywhere! The crux of the question is, is this war accident really over here?
