If a person is not in the limelight, he must make others pay attention to him, even if he deliberately exposes his incompetence.

– Alfred Adler (Austrian psychologist)

"Bai Feng, these four Eastern Legions are all new legions formed with refugees, isn't it too risky for you to let them face the orc army? ”

In the Fourth Route Army built by Bai Feng himself, the only one who dared to question Bai Feng's orders in person was Sophia, who had a special relationship with Bai Feng, and Sophia, who knew a lot about marching and fighting, made a reasonable suggestion.

If the 32,000 officers and soldiers of the Eastern Legion were really defeated by the orc army that was not afraid of death, then the defeated soldiers who retreated would definitely impact the formation of the 3rd Division and the pro-guard army, and even cause a complete rout of the army.

On a battlefield full of variables, numerical superiority requires the necessary prerequisites to be brought into play, and the blind use of military superiority is likely to lead to the defeat of the war; for example, in China, where Bai Feng was located in his previous life, there was a very classic battle of Weishui in which the weak defeated the strong.

Why did the million lions of the former Qin Fujian lose to Xie Xuan's 80,000 Beifu soldiers? If the decisive battlefield between the two sides was placed on the vast plain, the 270,000 cavalry under Fu Jian's command alone would be able to completely annihilate Xie Xuan's 80,000 Beifu soldiers, and this would be the difference in strength between the two sides.

However, the swaying 1.12 million former Qin army was killed by Xie Xuan's 80,000 Beifu soldiers on the banks of the Weishui River, and even the eloquent former Qin Emperor Fu Jian could not escape the fate of being beheaded on the battlefield.

In the final analysis, blindly investing too many troops was the key reason for Fu Jian's defeat; what kind of concept is the presence of millions of troops on the battlefield, that means that this army can stretch for hundreds of miles, and it seems to be invincible, but in fact its command is extremely unchanged.

After Xie Xuan defeated Fu Jian's vanguard with elite Beifu soldiers, the defeated Former Qin vanguard troops, and Empress Cang retreated at the same time, disrupting the friendly formations behind them, and the Former Qin army, which was formed by the union of multiple ethnic groups, could not be unified in language.

The vanguard of Xianbei warriors had just been defeated, and the front army of hundreds of thousands of Di warriors behind them did not even know what was going on in front of them, so they were swept up by the swarm of rout;

The chaotic Former Qin army had ten times the strength of the Beifu soldiers, but it could not form an effective resistance; the armies of all nationalities that had been defeated by the friendly forces that had rushed into disarray were quickly routed without even having a chance to react under the onslaught of the Beifu soldiers.

In fact, at least two-thirds of the Former Qin army did not participate in the battle at all, and the chaos ahead made them mistakenly think that the army had been defeated, so they fled backwards without thinking.

Although there are no classic examples such as the Battle of Weishui in this world, there are still similar examples and common truths, and now Sophie Adam is facing this suggestion, and Bai Feng, who has been prepared, has made his own plan and debut with his plan:

"Sophia, this three-thousand-sized orc army, half of which are wounded, if nothing else, they should be the defenders of Brojansson County who have just been defeated by López and Bartroli, and their combat effectiveness is not as strong as you think. ”

"I think that the wounded orc warriors are more like wounded beasts, and the dying blows of the trapped beasts are bound to be extremely ferocious;

"Didn't I give the order just now? Before the Eastern Legion engages the orc army, General Lister will lead the Death Battalion to fight the orc army first, and according to my assessment of the strength of the Death Battalion, they can fight at least one-third of the orc army. ”

Hearing Bai Feng mention the death camp that he hated the most, Sophia rarely showed a disgusted expression on her face, but said frankly: "Do you really believe that those death row prisoners and robbers in the death camp will willingly fight orc warriors to the death on the battlefield?"

"Of course, they won't willingly fight orc warriors to the death. In front of Sophia, Bai Feng did not hide his distrust of the death camp, but said bluntly: "So behind the death camp is the Yulin United, I think who dares to take a step back!"

"Are you planning to let the Feather Forest Wing oversee the battle of the Death Battalion, and force the Death Battalion and the Orc Army to fight to the death?"

"No, as long as the Death Battalion can fight out a third of the orc army, Lister can lead the army back, otherwise, the Feather Forest Wing will execute them on the spot, they are people who shouldn't live in this world in the first place, aren't they?"

Bai Feng's resolute attitude made Sophia, who had previously opposed him forming a death camp, hesitate, and she pondered for a long time before she spoke: "Since they have already been allowed to survive, wouldn't it be too cruel to force them to fight to the death with the orcs so hard?"

Sophia's kindness as a woman really made Bai Feng cry and laugh, you know, when Bai Feng ordered the formation of a death camp half a month ago, it was Sophia who was resolutely opposed, and at that time she was still thinking about executing these scumbags, but now she can't bear it.

After explaining to Sophia the intention of his deployment, Bai Feng followed behind the Eastern Legion with the cavalry of the personal guard and the cavalry of the Overseer; no matter how he explained, Bai Feng himself had no confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Eastern Legion.

Even if the Death Battalion could really destroy one-third of the orc army, it was still unknown whether the four Eastern legions would be able to annihilate the remaining two thousand orc warriors;

When 4,500 soldiers defending the death camp slowly appeared in front of the orc army, the tiger man who commanded the orc army directly gave the order to attack after smiling contemptuously;

Compared to the orc warriors who charged with the slogan 'Ula', the officers of the death battalion selected from the death row prisoners and robbers shouted much more 'exciting', but they didn't sound so good.

"Little cubs, there is freedom and military exploits ahead, rush with me!"

"Little ones, it's time for those orc ** cubs to show those orc ** cubs the power of our empire's legendary bandits, kill them all! rob them all!" This is a typical bandit-turned-officer, and he is still full of pride in his bandit status.

"Haha, Lao Tzu's big knife has long been hungry and thirsty, when you meet Lao Tzu, count you orcs and beasts unlucky!" This is an officer who has good strength, only cares about charging by himself, and doesn't care about the soldiers behind him.

"Long live the Empire! Long live General Bai Feng! Long live General Lister!" This is one of the few soldiers in the death camp, and the officers who can not forget to pat their ass when they charge and play with their lives, they are all the best that ordinary people can hardly reach!

......

Looking at the death battalion, which had no formation to speak of like the orc army, and listening to the chaotic slogans they shouted when they charged, I don't know why, Bai Feng's heart didn't have the slightest disgust for the rabble, but had a faint appreciation.

Perhaps, the open-mindedness and truthfulness of these people who once did all kinds of evil, after putting life and death aside, won Bai Feng's recognition of them, but what their future is depends on their performance on the battlefield, which is crucial.
