"Chapter Eighty-Four: Deus Ex"
Each of us has different levels of inferiority complex because we all want to make ourselves better and make ourselves better lives.
– Alfred Adler (Austrian psychologist)
"Your Highness, the Celestial Dragon army in front of us, which wants to break through, has already lost nearly one-sixth of our soldiers who surrounded them, and if we don't send reinforcements, then they may really rush out surrounded by our 300,000 troops. ”
"Thacker, what do you think of the combat effectiveness of this Celestial Dragon Army?" Answering the question, Sainsbury did not answer Thacker who made the suggestion directly, but shifted the topic to the assessment of the combat effectiveness of the Celestial Dragon Army.
"In my opinion, the combat power of this Draco army should be the strongest among all the Draco armies in Sunset Fortress, but compared to our warriors, their combat effectiveness is far inferior to ours, but their special combat methods make our warriors overwhelmed. ”
Hearing the wolf king Sakel say this, the bear king Sturaro and the bear king Thiago on the side both had some resentment on their faces, but only the bull-headed king Merome had an expression of approval, obviously he also thought that the combat methods of the Celestial Dragon army were very good.
"Yes, the combat methods of this Celestial Dragon army are indeed very special, and their weapons and equipment are obviously better than those of other Celestial Dragon armies, so our 300,000 warriors have been unable to defeat them for a long time, but have suffered heavy casualties in the battle. ”
"Your Highness, since the combat effectiveness of this Celestial Dragon Army is stronger than other Celestial Dragon Armies, then we can't let the tiger return to the mountain! As long as Your Highness gives an order, I, Sturalo, am willing to lead 100,000 warriors of our Bear Race to destroy this Celestial Dragon Army for the Empire!"
100,000 warriors may not be anything to the pig-people, dog-people, and ape-people with huge populations, but to the sparsely populated bear-people tribes, they are almost all of their warriors;
In the Orc Empire, it is not only the bear people who have few sparsely populated warriors, but also the tiger people, leopard people, lion people, elephant people and other powerful races, and their warriors are not many, and they generally act as low-level officers in the orc army.
"Sturaro, the 100,000 warriors of your bear tribe are the elite division of our empire, and it is too much to use them against this Celestial Dragon army in front of you; ”
Sainsbury's refusal to Sturaro to take the initiative to ask for war was completely expected by others, after all, the total number of bear-people warriors was only hundreds of thousands, and if 100,000 bear-people warriors were sent out to fight, once something happened, the bear-people would be finished.
But Sainsbury's order to Thiago made the four orc empire kings present feel unbelievable, and even Thiago, who was ordered, said incredulously: "Your Highness, do you mean to let this Celestial Dragon army withdraw?"
"I'm just saying that the fighters in front of me should give up the pursuit, but I don't say that I want any of them to withdraw. Sainsbury, who smiled slightly, patiently explained: "We still have 50,000 wolf cavalry cruising around the perimeter of the encirclement, and it's time for them to show their edge." ”
Tiago and the others, who instantly understood in their hearts, immediately stopped saying anything, and the wolf king Thacker said with excitement on his face: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the warriors of our werewolf clan will definitely annihilate this immeasurable Heavenly Dragon Army and give it to Your Highness as a gift!"
"Haha, good!" Prince Sainsbury, who was in a good mood, laughed and agreed, "Then I'll wait here!"
With the order of Prince Sainsbury, the elephant king Tiago personally led a small elite army of the elephant people to the orc army, which had been desperately attacking, and soon withdrew like a tide.
Before the army that had broken through to this point in a bloody battle could react from its shock, it found that in addition to the corpses of the dead soldiers of the enemy and our armies, only its own army remained in the same place, and more than 200,000 enemy soldiers all retreated.
In response to this unexpected situation, Bai Feng, who was worried and rejoicing, did not interrupt the cheers of the ordinary soldiers with a word, but gave an order to the overseer cavalry beside him:
"Go and inform the commanders of the armies at once, that they may reorganize their respective armies within ten minutes, and after ten minutes the army will be divided into two parts, the front under the command of the Marquis de Rundstead, and the rear under my own command. ”
"No!"
As for the specific division between the front army and the rear army, Bai Feng still had ten minutes to think about it before the army commanders had put their armies in order.
Of all the troops participating in the battle of the Pro-Guard, only the long-range iron gunners and Cretan archers suffered no casualties, and the Spartan hoplites and royal pikemen inevitably suffered some casualties when they used the pikes to resist the onslaught of the orc army.
The 1st Reserve Corps, which reinforced the 7th Wing, and the 2nd Reserve Corps, which reinforced the Assault Wing, suffered the lightest casualties of all the armies participating in the battle, with less than 300 men killed and less than 500 wounded.
Because he was busy with the division of the front and rear armies, the reorganization of the soldiers of the pro-guard was handed over to Cabitus by Bai Feng; at this time, Cabitus was no longer the centurion of the Spartan heavy infantry, but another Spartan general who was newly promoted to the general of the system.
I don't know why, the centurions of the system arms in the war always grow into system generals easily, which is undoubtedly a very timely supplement for Bai Feng, who lacks qualified generals under his command.
The 7th Wing, the Assault Wing, the 1st Reserve, the 2nd Reserve, and the Pro-Guard Corps were assigned to Bai Feng's rear army, the Iron Guard, the Fire Legion, and all the city defense troops were assigned to the front army of the Marquis of Rundstead, and the reserve troops and the 39th Army Corps and the 40th Army Corps were responsible for connecting the front and rear armies.
The vanguard cavalry, which had the largest loss ratio of soldiers, directly turned around and returned to Bai Feng's side after the orc army withdrew from the battlefield, and looking at the bloodied and exhausted vanguard cavalry, Bai Feng temporarily merged them with the war overseer cavalry into one force.
The chief and deputy commanders of the vanguard cavalry, Aetius and Cabaye, were appointed by Bai Feng as the chief and deputy commanders of the overseer cavalry, and together with the Parthian archers, who had not been engaged in battle, the new overseer cavalry took on the heavy task of supervising their own army and reconnoitring the enemy's military situation.
After the ten-minute rest period had passed, the front army under the command of the Marquis of Rundstead was the vanguard of 20,000 city defense troops, and the Iron Guard, the Fire Legion and the remaining city defense army were the main force of the front army, responsible for consolidating the front army position in the rear of the vanguard force.
The rear army, which Bai Feng personally sat in, used the 7th Wing and the Assault Wing, which had suffered heavy casualties, as the vanguard and followed the rear of the reserve army; the 1st Reserve Army and the 2nd Reserve Army were the main forces of the rear army, and the Pro-Guard Corps led by Cabitus was the rear of the rear army.
According to conventional thinking, the most elite pro-soldier guards of the rear army should be deployed at the front of the rear army as the vanguard of the rear army, but Bai Feng always felt that the sudden retreat of the orc army was full of conspiracy, and leaving the pro-guard to carry out the rear was just his arrangement just in case.
In any case, the breakout army successfully fought out of the heavy encirclement of the orc army, and there were only two ways in front of the breakout army: first, retreat directly backwards, away from the orc army, and second, advance north to save the other trapped emperor ** team.
After several hours of high-intensity fighting with the orc army, only 150,000 or 600,000 soldiers of the more than 200,000 breakout army remained, and the other three main fortresses all had an encirclement composed of 300,000 orc troops.
