"Chapter 19: The Demarcation of Defense Zones"

The more frivolous and debauched a woman is, the more she drives men mad in love. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Falling in love with such a woman often makes them lose their soul and cannot extricate themselves. But once they fall in love, they are asked to be true to themselves.

Sunset Fortress is said to be a fortress, but in fact it is a group of fortresses connected by continuous city walls, and there are four large fortresses and twelve small fortresses in the vicinity of the Sunset Mountains from north to south, with a distance of about 160 miles before and after.

The walls connecting the various fortresses were made of solid rocks using earth magic, and when Bai Feng saw these huge walls that were more than 60 meters high and about 10 meters wide, he also had a very deep understanding of the role of magic in his heart.

At this time, the four large fortresses of Sunset Fortress were already garrisoned by the four royal legions, and Duke Kleist himself personally sat in the second fortress where the Stormwind Legion was located, commanding the defenders of Fortress No. 2 and its three smaller fortresses to resist the attack of the orc army.

As the commander of the army, Duke Gnath did not lead the army into the second fortress where the Duke of Kleist was, but went straight to the third fortress, which was relatively weakly defended, and the Janissary Corps of the Duke of Reinhardt was responsible for garrisoning this fortress.

Fortress No. 3 was garrisoned by the Praetorian Legion, which suffered heavy casualties, and the three small fortresses attached to it were garrisoned by the 23rd Legion, the 26th Legion, and 20,000 city defenders.

Because the 160,000-strong army that had been reinforced was too large to accommodate Fortress No. 3, Duke Gna entered the fortress with only eight legion commanders, while the soldiers of the other legions were left outside the fortress to wait for orders.

Listening to the fierce shouts and killing not far away, looking at the blood-stained city wall in front of them, and the dense corpses and wounded who were screaming in pain near the fortress, the faces of the recruits and soldiers of the eight newly built legions all turned extremely pale.

Needless to say, Bai Feng's Seventh Wing and the most elite Fifth Brigade were all elite divisions that fought with the barbarians in the wilderness, and even the soldiers of the other brigades had at least three or more actual combat experiences.

Whether it is the four veteran brigades that have gained experience through the suppression of bandits, the five newly built brigades that often clash with the city defense forces of various provinces of the empire, or the two reserve brigades and the logistics brigade that are fierce by nature, they all have valuable combat experience that the new recruits do not have.

Even so, Bai Feng's heart was still worried about the future of the Seventh Wing, after all, the Seventh Wing had to face the brave and fearless orc warriors on the battlefield, and Bai Feng knew better than anyone how strong the combat effectiveness of the orc warriors was.

In the Bai Family Manor outside the imperial capital, the Beast Warrior Clan, led by the Beast Sword Saint Douglas and Thales, has a full thousand orc warriors, and the combat effectiveness of these orc warriors is no worse than the elite Roman youth army under Hans!

Of course, the combat power here is only a simple comparison of combat power, and does not involve the factors of battle formations and weapons and equipment; the barrenness of the orc empire is well known, and the extremely fierce orc warriors on the battlefield often rely on their own brute force to fight.

In Bai Feng's opinion, a hundred orc warriors can definitely easily defeat a hundred Roman youth army, a thousand orc warriors can almost have a tie with a thousand Roman youth army, and ten thousand orc warriors can only be defeated in the cooperation of ten thousand Roman youth army.

The crux of the matter was that the Seventh Legion had only four teams of 640 Roman young soldiers, and the Fortieth Legion and even the entire Sunset Fortress had only one Seventh Wing, and the recruits and soldiers of the other legions were no match for the orc warriors.

This meant that the officers and men of the 7th Wing could not safely hand over their backs to nearby friendly units during the battle, and even the officers and men of the 7th Wing itself, as well as the officers and men of the other brigades, could collapse in the battle, thus dragging down Hans's 5th Brigade.

Just as Bai Feng was thinking about the future of the soldiers under his command, the military meeting jointly held by Duke Gna and Duke Reinhardt also came to an end, and not only the eight legion commanders brought by Duke Griff participated in this military meeting, but also the other three legion commanders.

The commander of the 23rd Legion, Earl Glenn, the commander of the 26th Legion, Count Johnson, and General D'Ambrosio, who commanded the 20,000 city defense under the command of the Marquis of Rundstead, were also called by the Duke of Gna to a military meeting.

With Duke Reinhardt's personal report, Duke Gna had a new understanding of the situation in Sunset Fortress, and Duke Kleist personally commanded the area of Fortress No. 2, where four legions, including the Storm Legion, the 22nd, 31st, and 32nd Legions, were stationed.

Fortress No. 1, with Duke Albert as the supreme commander, was garrisoned by four legions, including the Thunder Legion, the 28th, 29th, and 30th Legions, and the southernmost fortified area No. 4 was defended by 80,000 city defenders led by the Marquis of Rundstead.

One of the four royal legions, the Legion of Fire, under the leadership of its commander Bernard, acts as a reserve force for the four fortified areas, and if any of the fortified areas become unsustainable, Bernard's Legion of Fire is their most direct reinforcement.

The current situation of these Sunset Fortresses did not satisfy Duke Gna, and he redivided the defense zones of the various legions, and the eight newly built legions that followed Duke Gerner to the Sunset Fortress were also divided into various defense zones.

After the redivision of the No. 1 fortress area, the main fortress is still garrisoned by the Thunder Legion, the three subsidiary fortresses are garrisoned by the 28th, 29th, and 30th legions respectively, and the 33rd and 34th legions are newly added, and the supreme commander is Duke Albert.

In the area of Fort 2, the main fortress is still garrisoned by the Stormwind Legion, and the three secondary forts are garrisoned by the 22nd, 31st, and 32nd Legions, and the 35th and 36th Legions are newly added, and the supreme commander is Duke Kleist.

In the area of Fort No. 3, the main fortress is still garrisoned by the Praetorian Legion, and the three subordinate forts are garrisoned by the 23rd and 26th Legions and the newly arrived 37th and 38th Legions, respectively, and the supreme commander is the Duke of Reinhardt.

In the area of Fortress No. 4, the main fortress was garrisoned by the Fire Legion, which originally served as a reinforcement, and the three subsidiary fortresses were garrisoned by the 39th and 40th Legions, as well as 40,000 city defense troops, and the supreme commander was the Marquis of Rundstead.

The other 60,000 city defenders and 40,000 reserve troops, under the personal command of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, the Duke of Gna, were responsible for supporting the fortified areas and auxiliary fort defenders at all times for defense, and the more than 100,000 wounded who remained in the forts were also sent to the nearest province by order of the Duke of Gna.

The Imperial generals, under the orders of the Duke of Gna, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, moved quickly, and as soon as the Commander of the Giscard Regiment returned to the Fortieth Legion, he led the whole army to the area of Fortress No. 4, forty miles away, accompanied by the Thirty-ninth Legion.

Although Giscard and Totila were the confidants of the Eighth and Fourth Princes, respectively, their first identity was that of soldiers of the Empire, and the struggle between the Four Princes and the Eighth Princes did not affect the mutual support between the two legions.

From the material reserves of Fort 3, the Duke of Gna allocated enough weapons and equipment to each new regiment to arm one wing, but even so, the other new regiments lacked weapons and equipment, and at least one wing of soldiers in each regiment was unarmed.

After obtaining this batch of weapons and equipment, Giscard handed over all the inferior weapons and equipment that his soldiers had replaced to Totila's 39th Legion, so that every soldier of the 39th Legion had his own weapons and equipment.
