"Chapter Twenty-Six: The Orc Trap"

Parents say, 'If you don't fight, you can't get a weapon'? Rigid, tyrannical education is futile, it only alienates children from educators.

– Alfred Adler (Austrian psychologist)

After completely annihilating this 3,000-strong orc army, Bai Feng left the 1st and 2nd Infantry Wings of the Guards to clean up the battlefield, while the other armies continued to advance.

By the time Bai Feng led his army to the county town of Bromjançon, López's 2nd Division had already cleared the battlefield, and Bartloli's 4th Division had taken control of various commanding heights and important buildings in the city, such as the governor's palace in Brodjançon Province.

The former governor of the province of Brojansson, when the orcs army came to the province of Brojansson, fled from the province with the city defense troops of the province in a hurry, but unfortunately, they were caught up by the wolf cavalry halfway, and the whole army was wiped out on the way to escape.

The Imperial nobles who remained in the city of Brojansson County did not escape the butcher's knives raised high by the orc army, and after several rounds of bloodbath by the orc army, there was not even a single quasi-nobleman with the status of lord and knight in the huge city of Broyangsson.

Such a situation is undoubtedly very beneficial to Bai Feng, who has obtained the right to recover the military administration of the province; without the constraints and restrictions of the original aristocratic class, the province of Broyangsong, which is like a blank sheet of paper, can let Bai Feng print his own mark on it.

On the day of entering the city of Brojansson, the four Eastern Legions and the three divisions of the Featherwood Legion, as well as the Iron Guards and the Death Battalion, were all ordered by Bai Feng to leave the city and set up camp;

The appearance of nearly 90,000 Imperial troops has finally made the people in the city of Brojansson finally see the situation clearly, the brutal and bloodthirsty orc invaders have really been repulsed, and the Imperial army has returned to Brojansson Province, and everyone no longer has to suffer from the persecution of orcs!

The excitement and emotion in the hearts of the people of Browjansson, who had cursed the aristocratic rule countless times in their hearts, when they returned to the embrace of the empire after a brief reign by orc invaders, their hearts were filled with excitement and emotion that could not be described in words.

The cheers of the people all over the city made the soldiers of the Guards stationed in the city straighten their chests with great pride, and even the soldiers of the Eastern Legion outside the city felt a deep sense of pride in their status as imperial soldiers in this warm atmosphere.

"Bai Feng, you hurry up and take a look outside, the people in the whole city are boiling!" Sophia, who pushed the door in directly, said in an excited tone: "It's the first time I've found out when I'm so old that the identity of the original imperial soldier is so proud!"

Bai Feng, who was checking the casualty reports of various armies and the basic situation of Bronjansong County, put down the things in his hand with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "The identity of the imperial soldier will make you proud in the past two days, and after two days, you will feel that it is a burden." ”

"Burden? Even if the orc army fights back, I believe that the soldiers of each army would rather fight to the death with the enemy until the last moment than retreat a single step back, and the identity of the imperial soldier will never become a burden to us!"

Listening to Sophia's righteous and awe-inspiring words, Bai Feng just shook his head, and then explained softly: "The commander of the orc army has long expected that we will counterattack and capture the provinces, and he even has no intention of occupying these provinces for a long time. ”

"How is that possible?!, isn't the orc army so desperate to capture Sunset Fortress in order not to invade our land?"

"It's not that the orcs don't want to occupy our land permanently, it's that they don't have the strength to fight a protracted war with us for the time being, so they do everything they can to plunder the fallen provinces, and only have a small army stationed, ready to evacuate the fallen provinces at any time. ”

"I don't understand, why the orc army would easily abandon these provinces they occupy, isn't the fertile land of the empire the place they have always dreamed of surviving?"

With Sophia's knowledge and experience, it was indeed not easy to understand the intentions of the commander of the orc army, so Bai Feng had to patiently answer her questions and ask:

"No matter how many provinces they give up, as long as Sunset Fortress is in their hands, the strategic initiative is in their hands, and even if we retake all the fallen provinces, they will still be under the wing of the orc army, and they will never be at peace. ”

"Then can't we take the Sunset Fortress back from the orcs?" After subconsciously saying this, Sophia lowered her head with a blushing face, this time, there was no need for Bai Feng to explain to her, she herself knew how low the feasibility of this matter was.

When Sunset Fortress was in the hands of the Imperial Army, the Orc Empire had not been able to capture Sunset Fortress in the long years of more than 200 years, and it is no exaggeration to say that the Sunset Fortress was built with the white bones of the Orcs.

Feng Shui takes turns, and now Sunset Fortress has become a bridgehead for orcs to attack the Empire, even if it gathers the full strength of the Empire, it is difficult to capture Sunset Fortress in a short time, not to mention, the empire that fights on two fronts, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in the north fighting against hundreds of thousands of steppe cavalry.

Looking at Sophia with a look of understanding, Bai Feng continued to nod her and said, "Of course, what really worries me is not these future things, but our current crisis; ”

Sophia, whose pupils opened suddenly, couldn't suppress the shock in her heart, and directly exclaimed: "You mean, so many people in Brojansson County are about to run out of food?"

"Not only the county town of Brojansson, but the whole of Brojansson, and even the provinces of Brojansson and Toulon, at least more than eight million people, will be in a food crisis, and this is our real challenge, a challenge that we can only succeed and not fail. ”

Sophia, whose eyes were distracted, said at a loss: "There are only two days, where did we get enough food for eight million people?!"

"If we fail to solve the problem of food for these eight million people, sooner or later, the hungry people will storm our army and rob us of our rations, oppressed by death, and then the elite army that we have worked so hard to build up will probably be destroyed. ”

"Is this an orc trap, why do we still fall headlong into the orc trap?Is it too late for us to withdraw to the province of Nice at once?"

Bai Feng, who had expected all this for a long time, was not nervous, he gently took Sophia into his arms, and comforted him gently: "This is indeed a trap left by the orcs, but we are soldiers of the empire, soldiers who defend the people of the empire and their homeland, aren't we?"

In fact, in the conversation with Sophia, Bai Feng did not tell the whole truth; the consequence of not being able to solve the food crisis was that the Fourth Route Army was destroyed by the hungry eight million people.

Under the premise that the empire has no way to come up with more relief food, whoever can come up with the food that saves the eight million people in these two provinces can become the savior in the hearts of these eight million people; this alone is enough for Bai Feng to do his best.

The reserve of grain in the city of Rome can indeed save the eight million people who are short of food, but the food that comes out of thin air has no reasonable reason for existence, so Bai Feng must take a series of measures to rationalize the food in the city of Rome.
