Knowledge is necessary, and science has its place, but if the mind is suffocated by knowledge, if the causes of suffering are perfunctory through explanations, then life is wasted and meaningless.

- Krishnamurti (the greatest spiritual teacher of the twentieth century)

Since the day when the 170,000 New Eight Banner Infantry Cavalry Army marched south, the battlefield ghosts hidden in Langxiang County have been secretly monitoring their every move;

Bai Feng, who was far away in the barracks at the southern end of the D'Orville Gorge, did not change his original deployment of the army after learning of the division of troops of the New Eight Banners to the south; because it was difficult to give full play to his superiority in strength because he had lost the main army of the pikes and the battalion defending the death.

The defending army at the southern end of the canyon composed of the Agni Legion and the four standing legions may not be able to resist the charge of the two blue flags head-on; plus the two blue flags and 30,000 cannon fodder infantry, the gap between the front-line combat strength of the enemy and us is not large.

The elite division of the 50,000 Fire Legion was obviously superior to the enemy's cavalry against the 40,000 taels of Blue Banner cavalry, and the 80,000 soldiers of the newly built standing army were more dominant against the 30,000 Eight Banner infantry, and in turn the defensive army under Bai Feng was more dominant.

Generally speaking, the combat strength of the 130,000 Tianlong defenders and the 70,000 Eight Banners Infantry Cavalry Army was almost in a relatively balanced state; the attack of the Eight Banners Army lacked impact power, and the defense of the Tianlong Defenders lacked resilience, and once the war started, it was bound to become a mess.

When the time comes, as long as the pro-soldiers and guards who are ambushed on the cliffs on both sides of the canyon and in the mountains and forests are killed in time, Bai Feng is confident that he will annihilate the 70,000 and eight-banner infantry cavalry in one fell swoop in the D'Orville Gorge, so there is no need for him to change his original deployment of the army.

At this moment, only Hans's Yulin Legion and Leonidas' Spartan Legion remained, as well as Donald's cavalry legion, and now, this main army, with a total strength of only 80,000, was about to face the 100,000 elite cavalry of the New Eight Banners!

Among the new eight banners, the strongest combat effectiveness is undoubtedly Dolgon's positive yellow flag and Shulhaqi's yellow flag, and the second only after the two yellow flags is Murhaqi's positive red flag; the other two white flags, two blue flags, and inlaid red flags are much worse in terms of combat effectiveness.

The pikes and the battalion barely fought for the 10,000 cavalry with the red banner at the cost of 20,000 soldiers killed; if Rodriguez's fire regiment had not entered the battle in time to scare away the red banner army, perhaps the pike regiment and the death battalion would have been wiped out by the whole army with the red flag.

The Red Banner, which is only slightly stronger than the two blue flags in the new Eight Banners, has such a good combat effectiveness, and it is conceivable what kind of powerful combat effectiveness the strongest two yellow flags have; with only 80,000 soldiers under his command, can Bai Feng really be sure to block the enemy's attack?

In fact, Bai Feng's certainty of victory was not pinned on the soldiers under his command at all, and a special force that did not show up in Langxiang Province was the confidence that Bai Feng had the confidence to use the main army of 80,000 to meet the 100,000 elite cavalry of the New Eighth Banner.

In addition to that special force, the 50,000 elite soldiers of the Yulin Legion equipped with the standard weapons and equipment of the Roman Youth Army and the Roman heavy infantry, and the invincible pikemen phalanx of the Spartan Legion in front of it are also the trump cards that Bai Feng is confident of ensuring undefeated in the decisive battle.

As for the 20,000 cavalry of the cavalry corps under Donald, Bai Feng gave them the task not to face the elite of the Eight Banners who were proficient in cavalry warfare, but to be responsible for chasing and killing the eight banners who were defeated by the special forces when the special forces went into battle.

The time of waiting always makes people feel anxious, and on the fifth day after sending a notice to the special forces on which he had high hopes, Bai Feng did not wait for the special troops in his rear, but waited for the two blue flag armies that were menacing.

Unlike the Flame Legion, which was waiting for the battle, the two Blue Banner armies, which were marching extremely slowly, did not immediately attack the Flame Legion stationed at the southern end of the canyon after the soldiers approached the canyon, they just slowly urged the infantry around them to continue to advance.

The total number of 30,000 New Eight Banner infantry at the time of departure was less than 29,000, and more than 1,000 infantry who tried to escape were killed on the spot by the two Blue Banner cavalry cruising on their flanks; the tyranny of the Two Blue Banner Cavalry lowered the morale of these infantry to a very threatening level.

Even so, the two Blue Banner cavalry of Azig and Duoduo were watching, and the demoralized Eight Banner infantry did not dare to flee again, and even when Dudu Nikan ordered them to march into the gorge, they did not dare to stop their fearful steps.

Looking at the lifeless backs of the cannon fodder infantrymen, Nikambel, the banner owner of the blue flag, asked his eldest brother, Dudu Beyler, the banner owner of the blue flag: "Big brother, can it be useful for us to let these cannon fodder attack the defense line of the Celestial Dragons?"

"It's not very useful, but it's better than nothing. Du Du, who was also not interested in cannon fodder infantry, pointed out: "The use of cannon fodder infantry is an order given by Dolgon and Shulhazy; ”

"Big brother, don't worry, I just said it casually, I understand what you said. Nikan, who has always shown a simple face, said with a gleam in his eyes: "I believe that sooner or later, one day, my father's lost sweat position will definitely return to our hands!"

If Dolgon or Shulhazy had heard what Du Du and Nikan were saying now, they would have been shocked, and they would never have thought that the Du Du and Nikan brothers, who had lived a life of grievance since Chu Ying's death, would have such unknown ambitions!

Although in terms of seniority, Azig and Duoduo are the uncles of the two brothers, Dudu and Nikan, but in terms of position, the Dudu brothers are the bannermen of the two blue banners, and Azig and Duoduo are only the capitals of the two blue flags, and the two still have to obey the orders of the Dudu brothers.

What's more, the order given by Dudu Nikan was exactly what Dolgon had given to Azig and Duoduo before, and they naturally had no reason not to carry it out, but in the process of specific implementation, the more resourceful Duoduo made slight changes to the order.

The 29,000 cannon fodder infantry did not all rush into the gorge as ordered, but were divided equally into six forces by the Duoduo, and the first cannon fodder army of 4,000 cannon fodder infantry had just rushed into the canyon, followed by five Azig Zhenglan Banner Niulu.

The 10,000 blue-flag cavalry under the command of Duoduo had to guard the remaining 25,000 cannon fodder infantry who had not yet been put into battle, so the task of supervising the cannon fodder infantry to attack the defense line of the Tianlong army was handed over to the 10,000 blue-flag cavalry under the command of Azig.

Of course, it is impossible for Azig to send all the 10,000 Blue Banner cavalry under his command, the limited space in the canyon and the small scale of the cannon fodder infantry, he only needs to send five Niu Lu 1,500 cavalry to completely control the cannon fodder infantry.

After discovering that the army slowly advancing in front was the infantry with the worst combat strength in the New Eight Banners, Rodriguez, who frowned slightly, turned his head and ordered his own soldiers beside him: "Go to the left flank and give the order, let General Barsaromu lead the 74th Army to meet the enemy." ”

"No!" the soldier in the fiery red Flame Legion uniform turned around and rode towards the 74th Legion on the left flank.
