"Chapter 51: The Hard War, VIII"
The "evil" of this world exists not only inside man, but also outside man, and the misfortune of the psychoanalytic healer of the patient is nothing more than the universal misfortune that introduces it into life. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Four days of calm and calm gave all the armies of Sunset Fortress, which had suffered heavy casualties, a precious respite and recuperation, and Hua Mu, the busiest field doctor, not only treated the wounded soldiers in the battle cluster, but also helped other armies treat more than 20,000 wounded soldiers.
Bai Feng won the gratitude of the generals of the various armies and the gratitude of countless wounded soldiers, and a large number of wounded soldiers were absorbed by Bai Feng's battle cluster, which was also the practice of Bai Feng to help the armies heal the wounded soldiers, and they would leave a certain amount of wounded soldiers as compensation.
For example, the commander of the 28th Legion, Count Torres, transferred all his more than 2,500 wounded soldiers to the formation of the battle group, and after a few hours, he came to take with him only 2,000 wounded veterans, and the other 500 or so soldiers were paid.
The 28th Legion, which is only 10,000 soldiers at its fullest, can bring Bai Feng the harvest of more than 500 veterans, and the rewards given to Bai Feng by the commanders of the other legions will naturally not be too small;
Bai Feng, who had received a large number of wounded soldiers, first replenished the Special Operations Wing and the Assault Wing to full strength, and then began to replenish the 39th Army Corps and the 40th Army Corps, which were temporarily under his command, but the establishment of these two corps was reorganized to 10,000 soldiers.
Captain Totila and Captain Giscar, who had a hard enough background, were not severely punished by Duke Gna in the end, on the one hand, because of the two princes behind them, and on the other hand, there were nearly ten generals at the level of Legion Commander who lost the fortress because of defeat!
Duke Ganna still understands the reason why the law does not blame the public, especially the current situation in the Sunset Fortress is extremely unstable, and the heavy responsibility of nearly ten generals at the level of army commander is definitely a heavy and fatal blow to the already declining military morale.
Of course, the main reason is that Duke Gna believes that the defeat of Totila, Giskal and other legion commanders is not without reason, after all, not every legion has the best weapons and equipment of the soldiers in the battle group, and the timely reinforcement of the magicians.
If only the Eleventh Fortress, defended by the 39th and 40th Legions, falls, then Duke Gna, as the supreme commander of the Sunset Fortress garrison, will not hesitate to kill Totila and Giscard to shock the army.
However, the fall of four fortresses in a row is not just a problem of the two army commanders, Totila and Giscar, but fundamentally speaking, it is the gap between the combat effectiveness of the defenders and the combat effectiveness of the orc army, which cannot be changed by desperate combat at all.
In the final analysis, the responsibility rests with the Imperial Military Department, and if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't equip the soldiers of the various legions with good weapons and equipment, and couldn't provide enough magicians to cooperate with the battle, how could the four fortresses fall?
Based on this judgment, all nine defeated legion commanders, including the two generals Totila and Giscar, were dismissed from their positions as legions by Duke Gna on the spot, and then acted as the captains of their respective legions with their guilty bodies.
In the ensuing battle, the nine generals acting as the legion commander will either lead their army to defeat the orc army, or they will die on the battlefield themselves, otherwise, if they dare to take a step back, they will all be killed on the spot!
Captain Totila and Captain Giscar, who had returned to their legion with a heavy ideological baggage, had to temporarily obey Bai Feng's command, and at the same time, the size of their legion was reduced to 10,000 soldiers by Duke Gna himself.
Although it is embarrassing for a former subordinate to become a commander today, it is no longer so unacceptable to obey the orders of his former subordinates compared to being defeated and beheaded.
You must know that in the hearts of the defenders of Sunset Fortress, Bai Feng's status has long surpassed that of ordinary legion commander-level generals, and even the four royal legion captains with extraordinary status cannot be compared with Bai Feng in terms of prestige.
A general who can lead the soldiers to victory will be fully supported by the soldiers under his command, and the worship of Bai Feng by the soldiers of the battle cluster is needless to say, and the existence of Hua Mu allows Bai Feng's influence to radiate smoothly to other legions.
Among the eight standing legions, eight new legions, five royal legions, and hundreds of thousands of city defense troops stationed in Sunset Fortress, which army has not had veterans who have not been healed by Hua Mu? Even if there are soldiers who have not been injured before, can they guarantee that they will not be injured in the future?
Bai Feng's special value determines that he is far more than an ordinary legion commander in the hearts of the soldiers of Sunset Fortress; only from the perspective of influence, Bai Feng, who is growing in prestige, can definitely rank among the top five of Sunset Fortress!
In the face of such a white peak, Totila became a subordinate without any pressure, and Giskal, who was slightly embarrassed, also thought that this might be his best choice, but they didn't know that their legion was no longer the two demoralized half-crippled legions of a few days ago.
The 39th Army Corps and the 40th Army Corps, which had been supplemented by a large number of veterans, were still their original officers at the level of wing commander and group leader, and Bai Feng did not make any changes;
As for those ordinary soldiers, most of them were defeated soldiers who were patiently pacified and calmed down by Bai Feng in panic, and the other part were wounded soldiers of other legions who were healed by Hua Mu, and in the hearts of these soldiers, Bai Feng's status had surpassed that of their former legion commanders.
The army has always been a place where the strong survive, and a commander who can lead the soldiers to win victory and glory can win the most selfless support of the soldiers.
Totila and Giscar, who had been in the army for half their lives, felt the disregard of the ordinary soldiers as soon as they returned to their respective regiments, but fortunately, the key wing commanders and group leaders were still their old faces, and they would not feel overwhelmed.
The 39th Army Corps and the 40th Army Corps, which had been restored to 10,000 people, were temporarily arranged by Bai Feng to rest in the barracks and serve as reinforcements for the battle cluster, and there were also 5,000 veterans who had not been added to the various units, and they were directly placed under Bai Feng's personal guards.
In this way, the personal guard under the command of Aetius had four Roman youth corps, three Cretan archers, eight Spartan heavy infantry, four Macedonian royal pikemen, one Parthian archers, four ironclad cavalry, four royal cavalry, twelve iron artillery spearmen, a cavalry brigade of five hundred cavalry, and an infantry wing of five thousand veterans, totaling more than 11,000 soldiers.
Among them, the four teams of Roman youth army with certain casualties were also brought back to Rome by Bai Feng for reorganization, and the five teams of ballista guns that had been newly recruited were also brought to the twelfth fortress by Bai Feng, but they were not assigned to the personal guards, but were handed over to the command of Upadama.
Upadama, who co-commanded the reserve force of 12,000 soldiers with Borg, was responsible for leading 6,000 soldiers to garrison the left flank of the fortress, and because this was once the main direction of attack of the orc army, five teams of ballista guns were reinforced by Bai Feng to Upadama.
