Chapter 100: The Battle on the Western Front

The Glory Regiment was stationed southeast of Dostol, far from the front lines of the war, and to the southwest of the 19th Infantry Corps, which became the link between Dostol and the 19th Corps from the map.

Not far from the Glory Banner Regiment, more than 10,000 soldiers on the left flank of the Nineteenth Corps were urgently assembling, and it was obvious that they had also received the news that the orcs were about to attack.

The combat effectiveness of the 19th Corps is still extremely strong, and the more than 10,000 soldiers on the left flank belong to the eight banner regiments, which are under the unified command of General Zuo of the Corps.

In the infantry corps, due to the large number of people, his senior commanders in addition to the corps generals, there are left and right generals, forward and rear army generals and other positions to assist the corps commander to complete the unified command of the army.

Cecil is the left wing general of the 19th Infantry Corps, and he is also a senior officer of the 19th Corps who directly deals with Xilin, but Xilin and him have only met once, and since then, they have sent people to contact each other.

"Report ......"

As soon as Xilin returned to the camp after his inspection, an urgent report came from outside.

"Come in!" As soon as he sat down on a chair beside him, Cillin reached for the teacup on the table, and ran for a while, obviously a little thirsty.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing the guard come in, Xilin was moving the tea bowl that was about to come to his mouth a little bit and asked.

"Tell your lordship, the general of the left wing of the 19th Corps, that you have something urgent to see your lordship. The guard bowed and said.

After the man finished speaking, he stood aside and waited for the order, while Xilin was slightly stunned, looked at the guards on the side, and gently put the tea in his hand on the table, "How long has the general been here?"

"Back to my lord, I just arrived. ”

Xilin thought that the other party had come early, and when he heard the guards say this, he hurriedly waved his right hand: "Hurry up, please!"

After saying that, Cillin sat down in the first seat of the tent, and the guard hurried out.

It didn't take long for him to pick up the tent and walk into a person, this person was in his thirties, a pair of tiger eyes, and a set of straight military uniforms, which can be described as heroic and extraordinary, I saw him walk into the account, and while stepping forward quickly, he said: "Hahaha, Lord Xilin, I didn't expect us to meet again." ”

Long before he could speak, Cillin also quickly stood up, took a few steps forward, and the two stood opposite each other, and after a few polite words, Cecil explained his intention.

"Presumably your lord also knows, the battle on the western front of Dostol is tense, but there is no movement on our eastern front, why don't we march west?" Although Xilin and him were in this tent, Cecil couldn't help but lower his voice.

It is true that the war has begun for nearly a day and a night, but the orcs have not swept all the fronts in a mountainous manner as before, and now they are only attacking on the western front, but they have caught Reginord, who is ready to fight on all fronts, by surprise.

At the beginning of the war, those orcs attacked the Imperial army station like a frenzy, although the garrison of the 36th Corps was not good, but fortunately, the strength was still there, plus the Ebise River was dangerous, but there was no need to worry too much.

But later, those orcs pulled a lot of catapults from nowhere, which made the casualties of the 36th Corps much larger at once.

On both sides of the Bice, you can see such a scene everywhere: crazy orcs with huge weapons of all colors, rushing from the north side of the Bisei River to the river, many hollowed-out trees on the river, and rafts, countless catapults to cover them, stones fall on the position of the 36th Corps, splashing bursts of blood from time to time, and more Imperial soldiers still lean to the front, with bows and arrows to shoot the screaming orcs.

The Bise River is frozen, but when the temperature rises, the thin ice and flakes cannot support the orcs' bodies, and any orcs who fall from the boats and rafts will be swept away by the river.

Not only that, but there was also an even more comical scene, I don't know if it was because of excessive madness or excitement, some orcs jumped into the water by themselves when the raft reached the middle position, causing the eyes of the soldiers of the 36th Corps opposite them to widen one by one.

The war was brutal, and the nearly two hours of catapult attacks carried out by the two sides alone caused the 36th Corps to lose nearly 5,000 soldiers, and the war between the two races, fought from morning to night, and then until the next morning, not only were the positions on both sides full of corpses, but even the river was often stained red with blood.

After a day and a night of fighting, the 36th Corps lost nearly 20,000 soldiers, but the entire 36th Corps still held its positions along the Bise River.

"My lord, our regiment has been on the ground for a day and a night, except for two or three hours in the middle of the night, the rest are fierce attacks, 20,000 soldiers, that's 20,000 lives!"

At Reginod's temporary command office, an officer with a cloth belt on his left arm was shouting at Reginod.

Although he was shouting, Reginoord didn't have half of his anger, but his fists were clenched tighter and tighter!

I saw that the man who spoke was unkempt, his body was also covered with blood, and the wound on his left arm was still oozing blood, and it could be seen that the cloth belt used to tie and bandage the wound was torn from the corner of his clothes.

Reginod pondered, and after the officer finished speaking, there was no sound in the hall, and several senior staff officers next to him bowed their heads and remained silent.

"Your Excellency!" the officer shouted again

"You go down first, I see. With that, Reginod waved his hand.

"Your Excellency, you can't ......"

Before the officer could finish his sentence, Reginod shouted, "Take me out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two guards came in from outside, and without saying a word, they picked up the officer and walked out of the hall.

"Your Excellency...... If you don't make a decision, the 36th Corps will be ......."

The officer's voice grew quieter and quieter, and at last it was inaudible.

Reginod looked around at a few people, in addition to a few staff officers, Kus Moore was among them.

Without waiting to ask questions, when Reginod just turned his gaze to Coos, Coos stepped forward, "My lord, I don't think the 36th Corps is as miserable as he said, he said this just to protect their own army, I think let the 36th Corps hold for another three days, if there is no movement on the Eastern Front after three days, it will not be too late to transfer the 19th Corps by then." ”

Kus said to himself, completely ignoring Reginord's slightly frowning brow.

After a slight pause, he continued: "This first day's attack is the most violent, perhaps the enemy just wants to take our western front defense line in one go, so that a day and a night will not work, it will definitely frustrate the enemy's spirit, we can not only replace the 36th Corps now, but also let them attack, maybe we will get unexpected results." ”

Kus's words were naturally approved by several staff officers, but a few shook their heads slightly, obviously not thinking so.

In case the 36th Corps collapses, it will be difficult to make up for it at that time.

Although he didn't say it on the surface, Reginod shook his head in his heart, full of maybes, he was very disappointed, he thought that this son could have some real talents, but he didn't expect it to be just a guy on paper.

When marching and fighting, the most taboo thing is maybe, maybe, and so on, how can you still say this at this critical juncture.
