When a person is in the midst of an inability to overcome unavoidable pain, one falls in love with that pain and sees it as happiness. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Early the next morning after the bloody battle, when the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on the city wall, Borg, who had not slept all night, and the officers and men of the Fifth Brigade, who had been patrolling all night, hurriedly ate the breakfast prepared by the gang husband brigade and went directly to the rear barracks to rest.

The three Cretan archers of the logistics brigade were stationed on the giant watchtower all night, but they did not patrol non-stop like the Roman youth, and the giant watchtower, which was safer than the city walls, gave them a good rest.

As the morning bugle sounded, the officers and men of the various brigades who had slept peacefully all night climbed up from the blanket-covered walls, and Bonella's 1st Brigade and Carol's 2nd Brigade took over the task of patrolling the walls from the 5th Brigade first.

Darren's 3rd Brigade and Lennon's 4th Brigade, as well as Ward's Logistics Brigade, had a hot breakfast, and while the soldiers were busy eating breakfast, Bonella and the other five captains were called by Bai Feng to the temporary headquarters of the 7th Wing.

"You have all seen how strong the orc warriors are yesterday, and in order to ensure that our soldiers can withstand the attack of the orc army, we must take turns to fight from today onwards, so that the soldiers can maintain sufficient physical strength. ”

"Take turns to fight?" Bonella, who was standing on the right side of Bai Feng, said with a worried face: "General, yesterday we had six brigades together, and we barely managed to block the attack of the orc army; ”

"yes. Darren, who has never had a close relationship with Bonella, also echoed: "With the current number of soldiers and combat effectiveness of our Seventh Wing, we really don't have the conditions to take turns to fight, after all, the attack of the orc army is still extremely ferocious. ”

"Well, your opinion is not unreasonable. While nodding in approval, Bai Feng turned his inquiring gaze to the other three captains on the side: "Carol, Lennon, Ward, what do you think?"

"We obey the general's orders!" Carol and Lennon, who were not good at thinking, replied to Bai Feng in their usual way.

Facing Bai Feng's encouraging eyes, Hua De, who had his own opinion in his heart, expressed his opinion directly: "In my opinion, the orc army's attack on us yesterday was only a special situation and not a normal situation;

"How do you know that this is a special situation? What if ......" Bonella, who was already a little dissatisfied with a military cadet like Hua De, directly questioned Hua De's opinion without waiting for Bai Feng to speak; unfortunately, he was interrupted by Bai Feng before he could finish his question.

"Bonella, you are the most experienced captain in our wing, and Walter is the junior who needs your experience, whether he is right or wrong, let's listen to his ideas first, and then you can teach him how to do it. ”

As the captain of the wing, Bai Feng said this, Bonella naturally didn't dare to have any more opinions, and in the face of Bai Feng's liberation, Huade, who was very grateful in his heart, did not show any strange expression on his face, but continued to analyze:

"Although the Orc Empire attacking Sunset Fortress is 1.5 million strong, it is impossible for them to commit all their troops in any one battle, and even if they commit half of their troops to attack each time, the average number of troops to the fortress is 40,000 at most.

The defense area of our six brigades was only the right flank wall of the fortress, and it was not at all the main object of attack by the orc army, so that the orc army attacking us was at best a partial army, and the total strength could not exceed five thousand.

We are a well-recharged defender, and with tall and strong walls to rely on, we only need about 2,000 soldiers to withstand the attack of 5,000 orc warriors, and this number can continue to decline as the combat effectiveness of our soldiers increases. ”

I didn't expect Hua De, who had been mediocre before, to see the battle situation so thoroughly; if he hadn't been sure that Hua De hadn't attended last night's military meeting at the legion headquarters, Bai Feng even thought that Hua De might have been in the military meeting last night.

"General, I think Captain Walde's idea is still too idealistic. After patiently listening to Walder's analysis, Bonella, who was unwilling, immediately retorted: "There were more than 8,000 orcs who attacked us yesterday, and it is impossible to have only 5,000 in the future!"

Bonella, who was still aggressive, made Bai Feng sigh helplessly in his heart; Bai Feng, who had just joined the imperial army not long ago, knew that there were two irreconcilable contradictions in the imperial military circles: first, the contradiction between nobles and commoners, and second, the contradiction between military cadets and veterans.

The former does not need to be said by Bai Feng, it is a contradiction that cannot be avoided in any country in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad; the veterans of the latter, one of the two main bodies, do not refer to ordinary officers who have been in the army for many years and have rich experience, but specifically refer to middle-level officers who have been promoted step by step from ordinary soldiers to military exploits.

This kind of petty soldier, who has experienced countless battlefield battles and stepped on the corpses of the enemy to be promoted, is very disdainful of military cadets who serve as junior officers as soon as they leave school; the disdain here is not only simple contempt, but also mixed with other emotions such as envy and jealousy.

Bai Feng, who is temporarily powerless to change the status quo of the imperial military circles, absolutely does not allow his Seventh Wing to have this kind of contradiction, so as soon as Bonella's rebuttal came out, Bai Feng bluntly supported Hua Dedao:

"I don't know if Captain Walter was overly idealistic, except that his thoughts coincided with the situation analysed at the military meeting of the Legion Headquarters last night, in other words, he was of the same opinion as all the senior officers of the Legion. ”

"How is this possible?!" Bonella, who exclaimed in surprise, was interrupted by Bai Feng, who was looking directly at him with cold eyes, "How is this impossible?"

Ignoring Bonella, who was distracted, Bai Feng, who turned his head, directly began to give orders: "From today onwards, the first and second brigades are responsible for garrisoning the city wall on a single day, the third and fourth brigades are responsible for garrisoning the city wall on a double day, and the fifth brigade and the logistics brigade act as reserve troops. ”

"No!" Carol, Darren, Lennon, and Walter responded in unison, but Bonella did not move.

"Darren, Lennon, you will lead the third and fourth brigades to take over the defense of the city walls later. ”

"No!"

"Walder, the three teams of Cretan archers of the Logistics Brigade are stationed in the watchtower, and the other soldiers and the Fifth Brigade take turns to patrol the night. ”

"No!"

After seeing the other four captains leave, Bai Feng said solemnly to Bonella, who was left behind: "I know that you are very dissatisfied with military cadets like Huade and Borg, who were quickly promoted to captains, but I hope this is the last time you show your dissatisfaction." ”

"General, I'm ......"

"I don't need to explain too much, I also know a little about the contradictions between veterans and cadets in the imperial military circles, I can tell you clearly, I don't care about the situation of the other wings, but I will never allow such contradictions to exist in my seventh wing!"

"General, Carol they are brothers who have fought with me for many years, Ward and Borg are new to the army, I ......"

"All the officers and officers of the Seventh Wing, they are your robes and brothers, if you can't treat them as brothers and sisters, I will give you a chance to leave the Seventh Wing, and ask the Legion Commander to transfer you to other wings to continue as a captain. ”

Looking at the burning eyes of the wing captain looking at him, Bonella, who finally came to his senses, was very ashamed and said: "General, I understand! I will not leave the Seventh Wing! From now on, everyone in the Seventh Wing will be my robe and my brother!"
