"Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Bloody Battle of the Fortress, VI"

When you make small decisions, you should rely on your brain to list the pros and cons, analyze and make the right decision, and when you make big decisions, such as looking for a lifelong partner or looking for an ideal, you should rely on your subconscious, because such an important decision must be based on the best needs of your heart.

After seeing the Marquis of Rundsteadt's personal soldiers leave, Kabourg, who couldn't bear the doubts in his heart, asked Giskal: "General, hasn't the Duke of Gna already planned for the army? Where did the Marquis of Rundstead get these 5,000 city defense troops?"

"The No. 4 main fortress personally commanded by the Marquis of Rundstead is only tens of thousands of city defense troops, and the defense of the No. 4 main fortress is not considered to be sufficient, why did he send five thousand city defense troops to reinforce us?"

"Yes, where did the Marquis of Rundstead get so many city defense troops......"

Without waiting for Commander Giscard to explain, all the co-captains present fell into a gossip discussion, but Bai Feng, who did not participate in the discussion, was keenly aware of the prestige of the Marquis of Rundstead in the imperial military from these ordinary discussions.

Although the commander of the newly built 40th Legion is a confidant general carefully selected by the Eighth Prince, all the co-captains in the legion are all experienced officers promoted and appointed by the Imperial Military Department;

Noble-born Imperial officers, as long as they have a little battlefield experience, will be reused by the Imperial Military Department, and at the same age as Caboul, Rodwell, and others, officers with family backgrounds have long been generals at the rank of Imperial Legion Commander.

This is also the current status quo of the Celestial Dragon Empire, the power of the empire is controlled by a small number of noble classes with the marquis and duke families as the main body, and the commanders of the imperial military are also served by generals of the noble class; ordinary officers from civilian backgrounds, no matter how hard they try, it will not help.

There are always exceptions to everything, and the Marquis of Rundstead, who has risen from an ordinary soldier to the position of commander of the army, is such an exception; he is not only the only marquis of civilian origin in the history of the imperial nobility, but also a role model for countless imperial soldiers.

Even the co-captains of the Fortieth Legion, such as Caboul and Rodwell, had no less respect for the Marquis of Rundstead than for their immediate superior, Captain Giscard, and even more so than for their immediate superior!

Therefore, when they learned that the Marquis of Rundstead had sent five thousand reinforcements for his legion, their first reaction was not to compete for valuable reinforcements to replenish their wing, but to worry about whether the Marquis Rundstedt's army would be affected by this.

"After the Duke of Gna planned the various armies of the fortress, several groups of city defense troops rushed to the fortress, because the Marquis of Rundstead was the supreme commander of the city defense army personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, so the new 20,000 city defense troops were handed over by the Duke of Gna to the Marquis for his own distribution.

It just so happened that our No. 4 main fortress area was attacked by the orc army, and the Marquis gave us the reinforcements of 5,000 city defense troops each of the 39th Army Corps, and the remaining 10,000 city defense troops were temporarily assigned by the Marquis as reserve troops. ”

With the explanation of the corps commander, the relieved wing captains began to strive for more reinforcements for their own wings, and the various wing commanders who were spitting were all wanting more reinforcements, and they were quarreling with each other.

In the end, Giscard, whose head was about to be blown up, had to directly order: "Don't fight! 5,000 city defense reinforcements, ten wings, each wing leader will take 500 reinforcements, and no one will take a single person!"

After the reinforcements sent by the Marquis of Rundstead were distributed, the content of the meeting shifted to the division of the wings, which was a matter of life and death for the 40th Legion.

After an hour-long consultation, the first army, with Cabur as the front-line commander, consisted of the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th wings, and the second group, with Pereira as the front-line commander, consisted of the 2nd, 8th, 9th, and 10th wings.

Moya's 3rd Wing was retained by Giscard as a reserve force for the legion, while the 7th Wing had been responsible for the defense of the walls on both flanks of the fortress at Bai Feng's initiative.

On the surface, Bai Feng asked the Seventh Wing, which was equivalent to three wings, to take on more defense and reduce the defensive pressure of friendly forces;

The 10,000 wounded soldiers of the city defense army assigned to Bai Feng by the Marquis of Rundstead are the greatest confidence for Bai Feng to improve the combat effectiveness of the Seventh Wing; as long as Hua Mu is there, the wounded soldiers who have recovered quickly will be able to continuously reinforce the Seventh Wing, so that the Seventh Wing will truly become stronger and stronger!

After the military meeting in the headquarters was over, as soon as he walked out of the gate of the headquarters, Bai Feng called the captains of the wings who were going to return to their respective wings, and the 500 reinforcements assigned to the 7th Wing were replaced by Bai Feng with 3,100 seriously wounded soldiers of each wing.

Returning to Bai Feng on the right flank of the city wall, he found that the various brigades with heavy casualties had been restored to full strength, and the city wall covered with corpses had been cleared, leaving only dried blood, silently telling the fierceness of the previous battle.

The weary battalions were asleep on the walls, the Roman youth of the Fifth Brigade were in charge of the night patrol, and the Cretan archers of the logistics brigade remained on the giant watchtowers, ready to respond to a possible enemy attack.

The first battle group at night, with the command of six captains, there was no need for Bai Feng to interfere more, so Bai Feng went to the second battle group stationed on the left flank wall to inspect the circle, and informed Hans of the order that the second battle group must be stationed on the left flank wall every day.

The Second Battle Group, consisting of five standing brigades and two reserve brigades, was restored to full strength with 3,500 men, more than any two existing wings of the Fortieth Army combined, and sufficient to allow Hans to divide his men into two groups.

The 40th Army's plan of taking turns to fight could be implemented within the 7th Wing, and Bai Feng's order to Hans was that no brigade could continue to fight for more than 24 hours, and that the soldiers killed during the day must be replenished at night!

Judging from the current number of soldiers and the number of reserve troops of the Seventh Wing, the Seventh Wing, which is increasing in combat effectiveness, can fully hold the two wings of the city wall for a month, and ensure that the Seventh Wing will be in a state of full strength after a month!

In addition, the death of a large number of soldiers and the replenishment of a large number of reinforcements also seemed to give Bai Feng another chance; since the heavy casualties caused countless new faces to pour into the Fortieth Legion, did this mean that Bai Feng could bring in more systematic troops?

The individual strength of the soldiers of the Imperial Army was really far from that of the orc warriors, and Bai Feng believed that the combination of the main force of the system army and the auxiliary of ordinary soldiers could definitely improve the combat effectiveness and combat experience of ordinary soldiers at a lower cost of casualties.

Moreover, taking advantage of this opportunity to integrate more systematic troops into the imperial army is also a good result for Bai Feng, but in terms of specific operations, Bai Feng still needs to carefully grasp and not let anyone find out.
