The hardships of life can't crush me. www.biquge.info The joy in my heart is not my own, I put joy into music in order to make the whole world happy.

- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (one of Europe's greatest composers of classical music)

The defensive army composed of reserve troops, the 40th Army Corps, 20,000 city defense troops, and 15,000 Fire Legion soldiers, plus the two reserve armies of Bai Feng's newly taken out personal guards, the total strength in the hands of the Marquis of Rundstead was nearly 70,000.

With 70,000 soldiers and more than 100 fire mages defending the fortress, the orc army outside the city had almost no chance of capturing the fortress, after all, more than half of the 300,000 orc army could really be used to attack the fortress.

The other 150,000 orc army will definitely be attracted by the main army led by Bai Feng himself, and when the fortress army is divided into two, the orc army must also be divided into two forces, and the dispersion of forces will be the same for both the enemy and us.

The three-day rearmament battle made the officers and men of all armies feel the atmosphere of the approaching big war; brand-new swords and armor were continuously carried out from the fortress warehouses and then handed over to the soldiers with damaged weapons and equipment for use.

The mountains of grain piled up in the warehouses were also packed into their own spatial rings by the generals of the various armies, and if they really couldn't fit it, the defending army sent a special small force to take care of it, and once the breakthrough was successful, the grain would be burned immediately.

The generals of the fortress, including Bai Feng, did not know that the orc army that successfully captured the eastern provinces of the empire was not short of food at all, and even if there was no food in the fortress, they could still rely on the plundered food to survive.

The night before the official breakthrough, Bai Feng once again called the generals of all the armies belonging to the battle cluster to his military tent;

"Generals, our hard days of guarding the fortress are finally coming to an end, and tomorrow morning, the breakout plan will be officially implemented!

Facing Bai Feng's eager eyes, the vanguard cavalry commander Aetius and the vanguard cavalry deputy commander Cabaye took the lead in getting up and said impassionedly: "Vanguard cavalry, swear to die and live up to your mission!"

"The Seventh Wing, follow the generals to the death!" Hans's high-spirited slogans were much more clever than those of Aetius and Cabaye, and as for his mistake in calling the Special Operations Wing the Seventh Wing, who would care about the generals present?

Although the 7th Wing was a subordinate wing of the 40th Army Corps, today's 7th Wing is not something that the 40th Army Corps can tolerate, so the 7th Wing, which was renamed to take care of the face of the 40th Army Corps, can indeed call back to its original name at this time.

"Assault wing, swear to follow the general!" With Hans as an example, López and Athos shouted in unison!

"Iron Guards, follow the general to the death!" This was the first time that Ranocchia had publicly offered his loyalty to Bai Feng.

"The Thirty-ninth Legion, swear to the death and live up to its mission!" Captain Totila never forgot his identity.

"The Fortieth Legion, swear to the death and live up to its mission!" Also not integrated into the battle cluster was the commander of the Giskar Legion.

"Reserve troops, swear allegiance to the general!" Borg, who was deployed to the defensive army, directly announced his allegiance to the public.

"First Reserve Army, swear allegiance to the general!" Bonella, who had just been promoted from the captain of the group to the position of the main general of the first army, naturally did not miss this opportunity to show his loyalty.

"Second Reserve, swear allegiance to the general!" Carol, who had the same experience as Bonella, did the same.

The city defense army, which was nominally incorporated into the battle cluster, actually maintained a considerable independence, and even though D'Ambrosio's 30,000 army and Bella's 30,000 army were already part of the main army battle sequence, Bai Feng still did not call them in this internal meeting.

In fact, Bai Feng was not the only one who held an internal meeting of his own army tonight, the Marquis of Rundstead and the Marquis of Bernard both held internal meetings in their military tents, and the three generals D'Ambrosio, Bella, and Giannou were all at the Marquis of Rundstead.

López and Ranocchia, who are known as the Iron Five Tigers along with D'Ambrosio, Bella, and Giannou, are not in the military tent of the Marquis of Rundstead tonight, but in the military tent of White Peak, which in itself says a lot.

Coupled with López and Ranocchia's positive statements in the military tent, from now on, there will inevitably be more commando wings and Iron Guards in the descendants under Bai Feng's command;

In stark contrast to the two generals, López and Ranocchia, were the two corps commanders, Totila and Giscar, whose deliberate change of slogan was, in the eyes of the discerning, a distancing between White Peaks and the Battle Cluster.

Disappointed in his heart, Bai Feng did not show any dissatisfaction with Totila and Giskal, but the other generals who were loyal to Bai Feng were not so well cultivated, and their eyes instantly became hostile to Totila and Giskal.

"Between you and me, it seems that there is a difference between the top and the bottom, but in fact we are all brothers born and died; tomorrow's breakthrough battle, whether it is successful or not, I will live and die with you! If we win, we will live together, and if we lose, we will die together!"

Without waiting for Hans and other system generals to react, Borg, who entered the seventh wing at the same time as Bai Feng, stood up with an excited expression, and said in an unwavering tone: "Live and die together, until death!"

"Live and die together, unswervingly!" the generals who were also excited, when they all stood up and shouted this slogan.

Among all the generals, only Totila and Giskal were the only two, their faces not only did not have the slightest look of excitement, but were filled with indescribable bitterness and complexity, such a scene made Bai Feng's heart have a trace of understanding.

After Wen Yan encouraged the generals again, Bai Feng asked the generals to go back to the camp to rest and recharge for tomorrow's battle; just as the generals bowed down and retired, Totila and Giscard were left behind by Bai Feng's words.

After the generals with different expressions had left the military tent, Bai Feng, who stood up and stretched, asked with a smile: "General Totila, General Giskal, I saw a trace of bitterness on your faces just now, did you encounter any difficulties?"

"This ......" Totila and Giscar, who looked at each other, made eye contact for a long time, and under Totila's slight nod, Giskar smiled bitterly: "General, Totila's family and I are in the imperial capital, and we live under the 'protection' of the prince. ”

"I see. Bai Feng, who instantly understood in his heart, said in a sincere tone: "Don't worry, two generals, you just need to command your respective legions, and once the army is out of the encirclement, I will personally arrange for you to lead the army to retreat to safety." ”

"Thank you for the great kindness of the general, the last general will never forget!" Giskal, who thought that he would be rejected by Bai Feng after he said something, did not expect Bai Feng to give such an answer;

Totila, who was also in an extremely excited mood, was not as familiar with Bai Feng as Giscar, and he barely maintained his demeanor, so he directly promised: "In the future, the general will be driven, and the last general will go to the soup and fire, and he will not give up!"

Giscard and Totila's words were indeed good, but Bai Feng knew that the premise of gaining their loyalty was to help them rescue their families from the two princes, but there was really no need to say such tacit things.
