"Chapter Seventy-Six: The Battle of the Breakout, Thirteen"

The most important thing in creativity is not to discover what has not been seen before, but to think about what no one has thought of in the phenomena that everyone has seen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Shadow Killer and the Flame Juggernaut hidden in the Seventh Wing, the attack on the orc army generals did not fundamentally change the balance of power between the enemy and us;

However, the successive deaths of middle and high-ranking generals and the death of a large number of low-ranking officers did disrupt the rhythm of the orc army's counterattack; more than 150,000 orc troops, divided into more than a dozen independent units, attacked the breakthrough army without interfering with each other.

After the elite of 30,000 city defense troops under the command of D'Ambrosio successfully took over the left diagonal shield wall defense of the Seventh Wing, more than 2,500 soldiers of the Seventh Wing reorganized a little, and then went straight to the passage to reinforce the main force of the Seventh Wing, which was becoming more and more difficult to defend.

After the soldiers of the slash shield wall defense line of the assault wing, who suffered heavier casualties than the seventh wing, completely handed over the right oblique shield wall defense line to the elite of the 30,000 city defense troops under the command of Bella, they immediately reorganized the formation in the brigade as a unit to reinforce the main force of the assault wing in the forward passage.

The timely arrival of the Iron Guards relieved the advance pressure of the 7th Wing and the Assault Wing, and Hans and López used the freed up advance troops to strengthen the shield walls on both sides of the passage, which were already precarious, and instantly stabilized the battle situation in the passage.

The nine brigades of the Seventh Wing and the three corps and twelve brigades of the assault wing, without the pressure of advancement, not only quickly stabilized the shield wall defense on both sides of the passage, but also strengthened the shield wall defense line on both sides from one to two!

However, there were less than 50,000 orc armies attacking the shield wall defense line on both sides, and less than 3,000 of the more than 20,000 orc armies could be distributed on a battle line of more than 2,000 meters.

With an army of less than 25,000 orcs, it is simply impossible to break through the shield wall defense line built by the nine brigades of the Seventh Wing, not to mention that there are shadow killers interspersed in the orc army, constantly attacking and killing the strongest among the orcs.

The officers and men of the Assault Wing were not as elite as the officers of the Seventh Wing, and their weapons and equipment were slightly inferior, but they were three more brigades than the Seventh Wing, and the additional strength of the three brigades was enough to make the Assault Wing's defense more comfortable than the Seventh Wing.

When Vermaelen, Siqueira, and Piarridge returned to Hans with three brigades with nearly one-sixth casualties, Hans, covered in orc blood, gasped and asked the three who were also covered in blood, "Can we still fight?"

"Yes!" the three of them, who were already trembling slightly with their right hands holding the short sword, replied in unison without hesitation.

"Okay!" Hans, who was a little out of breath, didn't care about the slightly trembling right hands of the three people, and after receiving an affirmative answer from the three people, he directly ordered: "You immediately lead the army to continue to advance, and our seventh wing must strengthen the passage to three thousand meters!"

"Three thousand meters?!" Vermaelen, who exclaimed in surprise, said in a worried tone: "Commander, didn't the general just send an order from the Overseer to let us stabilize the existing defensive line?

"No, as long as we make sure that our existing defense line is not in trouble, it is not a violation of military orders, and the reason why I let you continue to attack is because I don't want the prestige of our Seventh Wing to be lost in our own hands!"

Looking up at Hans in front of him, he pointed to the soldiers who were fighting with the orcs five meters away from his side and said: "Our 12,000 soldiers of the Seventh Wing have only opened a passage of less than 2,500 meters, and I can't hand over such a record to the general." ”

"Commander, I see. Hearing Hans say this, Vermaelen's eyes froze slightly, and he said no more.

Although the establishment of the Seventh Wing is slightly different from the standard establishment of the Empire, the general direction is still similar: for example, Vermaelen, Siquela, and Piarich are all captains, and when the three of them fight together, Vermaelen, who has the highest number, is the supreme commander.

If the commander had made other arrangements, the commander appointed by the commander would have been the supreme commander, and there was no doubt that Hans would not change this unspoken rule in the army at will, and Vermaelen did perform better than Siqueira and Piarić on a daily basis.

Hans, who had to personally take command of the other nine brigades, did not say anything more to Vermaelen and the other three, Vermaelen turned to the soldiers under his command and ordered: "Eighth brigade, the orc army in front of the target passage, go!"

"No!" The four detachment commanders and twelve squadron leaders of the Eighth Brigade immediately ordered each of them to go down to reorganize the army.

Siqueira's Ninth Brigade and Piarich's Tenth Brigade, following closely behind the Eighth Brigade, advanced along the passage.

The assault wing, which was fighting separately from the 7th Wing across the passage, naturally had a full view of the actions of the 7th Wing, and after López found out that Vermaelen was advancing again, he shouted an order to Athos not far ahead:

"General Atos, the Seventh Wing is about to attack again, and our assault wing can't be idle, Nishizawa's Third Brigade has just withdrawn, you take them forward and cooperate with the Seventh Wing to continue the attack!"

"No!" Athos, who had been fighting bloodily at the forefront of the battle, plunged the short sword in his hand into the chest of an orc warrior, and then broke the neck of an orc warrior who rushed forward, before turning back and shouting in the direction where López was.

Nishizawa, who had just come to López's side for less than three minutes, led his third team to follow behind Athos to fight ahead, and the seventh wing and the assault wing attacked again, naturally not hiding from Bai Feng's eyes, and he was full of satisfaction about this.

As Hans said, as long as the Seventh Wing and the Assault Wing can hold their passes, their active attack is not considered to be disobeying military orders, and moreover, Bai Feng's favorite is a decisive general on the battlefield, who is more trustworthy than a conformist.

Ranocchia, who led the Predator Guard to the front of the passage first, was not as lucky as the Seventh Wing and the Assault Wing, and the passage opened by the vanguard cavalry had already been filled with the orc warriors who frantically rushed forward, and the Predator Guard had to open a new passage.

Ranocchia is the most courageous of the Five Iron Guards, and his lead has boosted the morale of the Iron Guards, and all the orc warriors who stood in front of the Iron Guards were swept away by the powerful Iron Guards.

Behind the Predator Guards were neither the three brigades of the Seventh Wing led by Vermaelen, nor the four brigades of the Assault Wing led by Athos, but the 20,000 soldiers of the Fire Legion led by the Marquis of Bernard himself.

The indomitable Predator Guards did not divide their forces to care about the reopened passage behind them, and Ranocchia only looked at the orc warriors in front of them, and the Fire Legion, which followed closely, continued to divide one brigade after another of soldiers to strengthen the newly opened passage.

The 7,000 soldiers of the 1st Division of the Agni Legion, under the leadership of their division commander Rodriguez, have been closely following behind the Predator Guard, purging out the orc warriors who want to come up again, and the 2nd and 3rd Divisions of the Agni Legion have been separated.
