In three consecutive days of defensive operations in the city, the Imperial army rightfully performed well, and even inflicted no small casualties on the enemy, those Visigoths. www.biquge.info In several counter-charges, the infantry and cavalry of the empire were all in the counter-charge, and they taught the Visigoths on the opposite side a good lesson, so that they understood who and what was the boss.

Although this also cost the Imperial army somewhat.

Although it is said that the troops have been transferred twice in a row, the most serious of the various corps has even lost half of the troops. However, even so, the Visigothic army still maintained a certain combat effectiveness, as well as a certain morale.

At the time of the third counter-charge, the forward commander of the Imperial army was a little carried away - perhaps it was the large number of previous victories that gave the young man the idea that "the enemy is nothing more than that".

Therefore, this hot-blooded guy disobeyed Freya's order, and did not "take it when he saw it", but continued to assault forward after the war gained a certain amount of gains, wanting to make an immortal feat or something-

Although this will definitely make his immediate boss, Freya von Hereford, who is a high-ranking and special person, ill me, but even this does not matter.

For the soldiers of the Empire, the most important thing is military merit, and it has always been military merit. The system of monitoring set up by the Emperor gave them enough authority and enough fairness and justice.

In this case, even Freya is not good at erasing or even belittling a person's merits because of personal likes and dislikes. Especially when the forward commander himself is hard enough in the background -

Although he was not from the Earl's Guard, the forerunner of the Imperial Army, as one of the few officers in the White Army who actively chose to follow the Emperor, his qualifications and abilities were still sufficient.

Although it looks a little embarrassing in the Imperial Army because of identity issues. But because of his outstanding ability, he succeeded in coming out, which made him full of gratitude to the emperor, and at the same time full of confidence in the empire's army reward system.

He is already a legion commander. And the commander of the most promising standing corps...... It's just that the future is the future, and now the present is the present. Nowadays in the Russian Gothic Empire, there are many people who think they are capable enough to lead a large army, but there are not too many of them who have enough prestige.

The emperor's preference for military merit also caused a problem, that is, the difficulty of balancing military merit.

Until the emperor had entrenched nationalism and nationalism in the hearts of the people, and had made it impossible for the army to participate in politics, and for the army to serve the country, so that the soldiers could understand their mission, he did not want a strong military general with a foreign surname. In fact, the same is true of the same kind. It's just the lesser of two evils.

This also caused the embarrassment of their group of army commanders.

The Emperor is the best and most powerful commander in the world, and if there is any war that can decide the fate of the world, then it is naturally the best choice for the Emperor to command the commander.

As for some relatively small wars or something. Usually the Emperor can easily defeat it with a legion.

So, this made the corps commanders very distressed. Who wouldn't want to go any further, if they could? Like General John, Wilhelm's most trusted corps commander - although most of these corps commanders were awarded the rank of major general, General John had the rank of lieutenant general. In other words, once there is a task that requires several legions to be dispatched at the same time, then the commander of these legions will inevitably be General John, who has a higher rank.

As for the war that requires several legions to be dispatched together. Perhaps it was a little surprising before this, thinking: "Is there really any war in this world that requires several Imperial legions to be dispatched at the same time?!" But now, looking at this battlefield, seeing these enemies who have been defeated again and again, but still maintain a certain level of morale and combat effectiveness, the generals believe that they have found the best object they are looking for, the best person to make contributions.

That is, the Visigoths.

On the battlefield against the Visigoths, the Imperial army will inevitably encounter a series of challenges - although the ultimate possibility is obvious, the final victory will inevitably be the great, incomparable fighting power of the Imperial army. But in the process, it doesn't seem unimaginable to add a little twists and turns or something.

Well, yes, a little bit of death, a couple of more times like this, a war on the scale of hundreds of thousands of people or something. In this way, it is natural that a new group of military nobles will emerge in the empire, and a large number of new war heroes will naturally emerge - and this group of war heroes will naturally include themselves.

Uh-huh, think about it, I'm still young, maybe I can finally seek a position in His Majesty's General Staff. Although at present, such a position as Chief of the Imperial General Staff is held by His Majesty the Great Emperor. But the military director, as well as the logistics director and the deputy chief of the general staff, these positions are also very high-powered.

An earl, even a duke, plus such a high-ranking official. This was the goal that the young regiment commander had set for himself - of course, "young" or something, but in reality he was only forty years old. However, such an age is indeed young for a corps commander, especially a standing army commander.

However. Sure enough, it's still a bit bad - no, I should say, it's too bad.

The result of rushing into the midst of the enemy group did not bring much honor to the brave and young general. Three infantry regiments under his command were under a powerful siege by the enemy. And the deeper and deeper. The more you break forward, the stronger the resistance. In the end, when he was unwilling but helpless to retreat, he suddenly found that he was surrounded and could barely run away-

Of course, Freya had already sent several signals to retreat before this, but the general and his equally bewildered officers pretended not to see it.

After this, Freya was upset, but she carried out the necessary assistance activities. A total of five regiments of infantry were thrown into close combat - and then the Visigothic army, which had also reacted and desperately tried to swallow up the three infantry regiments of the Imperial Army, had gained some success, resisted very resolutely, desperately trying to stop the Imperial Army's assistance......

In the end, though, they didn't succeed - although, in the absence of a series of defenses such as trenches and breastwalks, the casualties of the Imperial army began to rise dramatically. After this full-day battle, the Imperial army suffered nearly two thousand losses, and the number of wounded was similar. Of the three infantry regiments surrounded, the most severely damaged one was almost incapacitated. For the Imperial Army, which had been smooth sailing some time ago, this was already quite a terrible loss.

The rescued officer looked a little dejected. Disobedience on the battlefield, combined with defeat, and heavy losses to his army, all of this made him honestly afraid.

Although after being rescued, Freya didn't seem to blame him. He even comforted him well. But standing beside them, the military judge, who has never had a sense of existence, must have recorded this incident.

Moreover, the matter will definitely be sent to the General Staff, and it will definitely be sent to His Majesty the Emperor. As soon as he thought of this, the young general felt the urge to die.

"In other words, Blucher, your life may be over...... "Even if His Majesty the Emperor is merciful, he will not transfer you to those local garrison corps or reserve units as a corps commander." It is probably not so easy to become a commander of an army group, a lieutenant general, or even a general. ”

As soon as he thought of this, the young general felt a wave of frustration in his heart.

Of course, of course - compared to the frustration of the young general or something. The Briton army, which was on the defensive on the western flank, just wanted to die.

Under the "fiercest attack" of the Visigothic artillery, one of their fortresses finally collapsed - and then, to the sound of cheers, the Visigoths charged at these fortresses as fast as they could.

Although in the first few attacks, the Briton army mustered up the courage to repel the bastards - although morale and morale were very problematic. However, the Briton army was also from the Old World powers. It's never going to crash for that reason.

The two sides fought a series of bloody battles under the ruins of the parapet wall on the western side of the fortress. In total, they repelled four charges.

The corpses of the Britons and Visigoths, dressed in blue and red uniforms, covered the ruins. So that the follow-up forces of both sides had to continue fighting on these corpses.

Then came the fifth charge of the Visigoths, the mad republicans, who carried on their shoulders, on their backs, with a company of twelve-pounder guns on their backs.

In the roar of artillery fire, large expanses of shrapnel blasted through like iron fans, blasting groups of Briton soldiers into slag - the Visigothic army took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, and finally occupied the highest point of the ruins of the hill before the other side. And there was a burst of cheers, and the red, white, and blue flags, which symbolized freedom, were planted on it, as if they had taken the fortress......
