If you can start to understand yourself, not to change but to live according to your essence, then you will begin to transform.

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

"Steve, you take five hundred of your own soldiers to reinforce General Cabitus. After all, it was still difficult for Bai Feng to be completely reassured, and ordered Steve beside him: "Once the Spear Legion is defeated by the enemy, your mission is to protect General Cabitus and return safely. ”

"Unless we are all killed, General Capitus will return safely!" Steve promised without hesitation.

"No, Steve, I don't need you all to die. Regarding Steve's solemnity, Bai Feng shook his head and said: "You are my confidant and favorite general, just like Cadpitus, I want Cadbitus to return safely, and I also need you to return safely." ”

"General......" Steve, who looked excited, wanted to say something, but in the end his voice was firm: "No!"

Looking at the back of Steve leading five hundred soldiers away, Bai Feng felt a lot of emotion in his heart, although Steve was the son of Count Yadonis, and Count Yadunis was the confidant of Prince Pros, Bai Feng still admired Steve.

This energetic and passionate young officer not only has the vision and strength that other ordinary middle-level officers do not have, but also has a loyalty comparable to that of a system general; no matter what kind of orders Bai Feng gives, he will meticulously carry them out, regardless of right or wrong.

To a certain extent, this kind of almost blind foolishness is not conducive to Steve's personal growth, but Bai Feng's favorite is precisely such a person who is foolish and loyal to himself, so what Bai Feng said just now is indeed his heartfelt words.

The reason why Bai Feng sent Steve to lead 500 personal soldiers to protect Cabitus was not because Cabitus had no ability to protect himself, but because Tubus was a general born in Spartan warriors, and it has always been the nature of Spartan warriors to fight to the death.

If the Lance Legion was really defeated by the rushing Red Banner Cavalry, then Gapitus, as the leader of the Spear Legion, would inevitably personally lead his general guards and fight the enemy on the battlefield until the last moment of his life.

Bai Feng, who was already seriously lacking systematic generals under his command, was naturally reluctant to die on the battlefield with Calitus, and sent Steve with his own soldiers to protect Cabitus, not so much to protect Cabitus, but to say that Bai Feng was conveying his meaning to Cabitus.

Knowing that Bai Feng valued Steve and his father, Count Earl Yadunis, it was impossible for him to sit back and watch Steve accompany him to die on the battlefield;

Urgudai, who personally led the Red Banner Army, did not want to directly clash with the Celestial Dragon army that had invaded Langxiang County, but the Celestial Dragon's advance occupation of the D'Orville Gorge forced him to lead his army to attack the strong Celestial Dragon Army.

Urgudai's allies, Solgo and Subahai, were stationed in Belfort east of Longchamps with a white flag and Pomerian Damus west of Longchamps, and the D'Orville Gorge was the only way to them!

If Urgudai was willing to waste five days or so on a detour, he could bypass the heavily armed D'Orville Gorge and make a detour from both sides of the D'Orville Gorge to Belfort or Pomer-Ledams.

However, the route of the march around the Durgil Gorge not only delayed Urgudet's own precious time, but also caused Urgudet to break his promise to the Shulhazy brothers, so Urgudet decided to lead his army to the Heavenly Dragon Army and try to rush through the canyon.

In Urgudai's opinion, he has 19,000 elite cavalry with red flags under his command, even if he can't defeat the 300,000 army of the Tianlong Empire, at least he can use the mobility advantage of his cavalry to easily break through the infantry defense line of the Tianlong army.

Seeing that his army was getting closer and closer to the D'Orville Gorge in front of him, the confident Urgudai ordered the leaders around him: "Ahead is the D'Orville Gorge occupied by the Celestial Dragons, let's defeat them in one go and rush through the canyon!"

"Defeat them and rush through the canyon!" shouted in unison from the thirteen red-flag-clad leaders.

"Defeat them, rush through the canyon!!" Thirteen staff leaders took the lead, and the cavalrymen, who were riding their horses and galloping, naturally shouted.

"Defeat us?" Listening to the shouts that accompanied by thick smoke and dust not far away, Cabitus, who sneered, ordered to the wing commanders behind him: "The spear wing immediately forms a phalanx, and the other wings hold their positions and are ready to support at any time!"

"No!" the ten captains of the Lancer Regiment responded with a bang and went to their own wings.

Compared with the vigor of the charge launched by the red flag, the orderly pikemen were much more silent, and the four pikemen wings, full of 2,000 pikemen, neatly listed the four pikemen lines in the order of the wing number.

Covering the flanks of the first two pikes were four infantry wings of 2,000 hoplites, and when the pikes were first formed, they consisted of only two hoplite wings and two more mobile cavalry wings.

To the frustration of Gattitus, with the arrival of Donald and the formation of the cavalry corps, the cavalry wing of the Lancer Regiment, which was in the process of preparation, had to temporarily transform two cavalry wings into infantry wings because of the loss of war horses and the priority replenishment of cavalry recruits.

In this way, the pikemen corps actually temporarily abolished the establishment of two cavalry wings and added two infantry wings, and the increase of 4,000 hoplites was undoubtedly a good thing for the pikemen, which faced nearly 20,000 cavalry inlaid with red banners in its first battle.

The battle arrayed on the two flanks of the last two spear lines were the wing of archers on the left flank and the wing of crossbowmen on the right flank, and the long-range striking strength of 2,000 longbowmen and 2,000 crossbowmen was definitely far beyond the imagination of any enemy!

"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock...... Knock knock knock ......"

The sound of nearly 20,000 cavalry charging at full speed made the otherwise calm earth tremble, and the soldiers of the pikemen were all recruits with no actual combat experience, and their nervousness and fear could be imagined.

Standing in the center of the first spear defense line, after the red flag cavalry all over the mountains appeared in his field of vision, he raised the super long spear in his hand and roared with all his strength: "Spear, never retreat!!"

"Spear, never back down!!" was the pike-wing where Cabitus was located, and the whole army chanted this slogan.

"Spear, never retreat!!" Immediately afterwards, the 8,000 soldiers of the four spear wings raised their arms and shouted.

"Spear, never retreat!! the hysterical cry of the 20,000 soldiers of the Lance Regiment, is already a deafening declaration of death battle.

"Warriors with red flags, let's use our sabers to slaughter the cowards of the dragon!!!

"Ulla!"

Nineteen thousand cavalry with red banners, under the command of Urgudet, rushed to the pikemen's line like a raging tide, and the pikemen, whose spearmen were slightly crouched in front of their spears, restrained their inner fear, and still maintained their original formation.
