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

The Seventh Wing was the only army under Bai Feng's command that was fully equipped with Roman heavy infantry weapons and equipment, and had learned various Roman army combat tactics.

Therefore, each squadron of the Seventh Wing is a unit that can fight independently, and each detachment is a unit that can use a three-column battle array; although today's breakthrough battle is not suitable for the use of a three-column battle array, other Roman legionary battle formations can still be used.

It was not easy for the 12,000-strong Seventh Wing to enter the battle at once, and more importantly, the key to the breakout battle was to quickly open the breakthrough route, which meant that all participating troops had to fight in a long rectangular formation.

While Leonardo's 1st Brigade was making its way through the tunnel, Bjarni's 12th Brigade was still assembled at the gates of the fortress, one after the other, and must be fought in a fixed order to ensure that the final breakout plan would be carried out.

"One hundred and fifty meters ahead, the first detachment will hold the passage!" Leonardo, who led the army into the passage, did not draw his short sword to participate in the battle like ordinary soldiers, but calmly gave orders to the captain of the first detachment not far from him.

"No!" The commander of the first sub-unit, who responded loudly, immediately commanded the officers and men of the three squadrons under his command to form a standard shield wall battle formation with the shields in their hands; the soldiers who cooperated with each other completed the deployment of the shield wall battle formation in just an instant.

"First squadron, hold the entrance fifty meters of the passage!"

"Second squadron, hold the middle fifty-meter passage!"

"Third squadron, hold the passage fifty meters ahead!"

The first detachment captain standing behind the shield wall, while giving orders to the three squadron leaders under his command, personally led the ten elite warriors around him to begin to clear out the orc warriors who were distributed in the passage one by one.

After the entrance to the passage was blocked by the soldiers of the first detachment with a shield wall one hundred and fifty meters, Leonardo led the soldiers of the other three detachments to continue to advance, and after advancing another hundred meters, Leonardo gave the same order to the commander of the second detachment.

The 1st Brigade, which had only 1,000 men in full strength, blocked the 600-meter-long left passage within five minutes, and the 1st Brigade of the Assault Wing, which used the standard weapons and equipment of the Roman Youth Army, blocked the 600-meter-long right passage at the same time.

After using the shield wall to stabilize the 600-meter-long passage, the 7th Wing and the 2nd Brigade of the Assault Wing, which had caught up, directly crossed the 600-meter-long passage and began to continue to advance along the stable passage, reinforcing the passage ahead.

After four successive brigades were thrown into the passage, the solid passage was already 2,400 meters long, and at this time, the charge of the vanguard cavalry at the front was getting weaker and weaker, and the distance between them and the two wings in the rear had increased to nearly three thousand meters!

At this time, if the generals of the orc army could not find out the intention of the breakout army, then they would be too idiots, and half an hour after the start of the battle, the army of more than 50,000 orcs began to advance in the direction of the fortress, wanting to cut off the connection between the breakout army and the fortress in one fell swoop.

Hans, who was about to lead the next eight brigades into the passage, faced the army of orcs rushing from the flank, and he immediately sent Vermaelen's Eighth Brigade and Siquela's Ninth Brigade to intercept them.

Twelve detachments and thirty-six squadrons of three brigades formed thirty-six shield walls, which continued diagonally from the three hundred meters to the left of the fortress entrance to the entrance of the passage, and the two shield walls of more than 1,000 meters long blocked the orc army from the passage.

At the same time that Hans sent Assassis to lead 3,000 soldiers to build two defensive shield walls, López also sent 4,000 soldiers led by Cizewa to lead the 3rd Brigade to build two denser defensive shield walls on the right side of the fortress.

Originally, López wanted to send Athos to command the 4,000 soldiers, but the soldiers in front of the assault wing to strengthen the passage needed a brave and skilled general to command them, and in this regard, Hans, who was born as a Germanic berserker, was much stronger than López, who lacked bravery.

In the huge assault wing, the four captains of Remy, Antonelli, Nishizawa, and Morris are all middle-level officers who were promoted by Bai Feng in a short period of time;

So far in the battle, the first detachment that had entered the passage to strengthen the passage had suffered nearly one-fifth of the soldiers, and the orc army had become more and more ferocious in counterattack, causing the soldiers inside the shield wall to suffer more and more casualties, and the shields were smashed every minute.

The death of more than 40 soldiers was not enough to change the unwavering will of the soldiers of the first detachment to fight to the death, but it could make the originally stable shield wall vulnerable, and the length of the shield wall was reduced by one point for each additional soldier killed.

After such a long period of high-intensity fighting, the first detachment's initial 150-meter shield wall defense line has been reduced to the current 120 meters; the other three detachments are slightly better than the first detachment, but how much better can they be?

The 600-meter shield wall defense line of the four detachments under the 1st Brigade was shortened by a full 100 meters, and only 500 meters of the shield wall defense line remained; by the time Wan Yama's 5th Brigade joined the battle, the 7th Wing's shield wall defense line was less than 2,400 meters.

Judging from the current situation, the Seventh Wing and the Assault Wing alone could not break through the defense line of the orc army at all, and neither Bai Feng nor the Marquis of Rundstead expected that the orc army did not take the opportunity to attack the fortress, but gathered heavy troops to intercept and kill the breakout army.

"General, I'm afraid that the Seventh Wing and the Assault Wing will not be able to hold out for another two hours at most, and we must prepare early. ”

"After two hours of death, the Seventh Wing and the Assault Wing will also be disabled, which will be a fatal blow to our breakthrough plan;

"No!" Ranocchia, who had just taken the initiative to speak, immediately responded to the order.

Although the 10,000 soldiers of the Iron Guards are not as elite as the soldiers of the Seventh Wing, they are much more elite than the soldiers of the Assault Wing; with the Iron Guards to reinforce the Seventh Wing and the Assault Wing, they will soon be able to stabilize the battle situation and even maintain the offensive of the breakthrough army.

However, just stabilizing the battle situation is not what Bai Feng wants, what Bai Feng needs is a more fierce attack; after Ranocchia led the army to start acting, Bai Feng, who already had a new plan in mind, began to give orders to the other generals:

"Marquis Bernard, you immediately lead the 20,000 soldiers of the Fire Legion out of the city, and after the Iron Guards help the Seventh Wing and the Assault Wing stabilize the battle, your task is to advance the passage to a depth of four thousand meters. ”

"I see. "The arrogant Marquis Bernard will not accept Bai Feng's orders as a subordinate, but he is not a little white who doesn't understand anything, and in the face of the current battle situation, of course he knows that Bai Feng's new order is appropriate and reasonable.

"D'Ambrosio and Bella, the two of you will lead your respective armies to take over the outer flanks of the fortress after the Fire Legion leaves the city, and in the next battle, our most important rear route will be handed over to your 60,000 city defense troops. ”

"No!" D'Ambrosio and Bella replied in unison, determined.
