Chapter 1297: "·Emperor of the Empire·Twenty"

How deep the suffering is, how high the glory of mankind will be.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn (Russian writer)
The reinforcement army composed of five standing legions and ten eastern legions, although it was formed by Lister, he did not personally command the army; it was not that Lister dare not go to the front line, but He really does not have the ability to command the army.
Lister, with the title of'butcher', was originally a defender of the death camp, and he had no commanding experience of the army. At least he had some self-knowledge; among the remaining heads of the army, Atos may not be the most suitable. Candidate, but it is the most capable candidate.
Let Giskar, the warlord who is only half a level lower than Bai Feng, obey the orders of Atos unconditionally. Liszt’s request can’t be overstated; Giskar still agreed. The reason for this is probably only Giss. Carl understood it in his heart.
After the legions within the reinforcements' combat sequence started to the border, Atos did not waste an extra day at the border, but after the whole army was repaired overnight, he commanded the 200,000 troops under his command and embarked on the journey. .
At this time, it was already the sixteenth day of the siege of the frontline fortress by the orc army, and the fierce battle for half a month was almost exhausting the last bone of the frontline legions; especially the forty-fifth legion, which was the first to bear the brunt To the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted.
Of all the officers of the 45th Corps who stayed in the fortress and did not evacuate, there were no junior officers at the level of squad leader and squadron leader. Middle and senior officers at the rank of captain and squadron commander could also insist on commanding operations. It is less than five people!
The forty-fifth legion full of 20,000 soldiers now has only two or three thousand soldiers left, and even with archers and instrument soldiers who are not in the legion, the total defense force in this fortress is still insufficient. Four thousand, and everyone was injured.
The already violent orc army, led by the Bimeng warriors, launched a wave of tide-like assaults on the fortress that the 45th legionary soldiers adhered to; for the fierce offensive of the orc army, they defended The adherence of the generals is getting harder and harder.
The forty-fifth legion with heavy casualties is impossible to continue to defend under the attack of the orc army. Asassis, who has sent the reconstructed fire of the legion, is ready to coexist with the fortress and die anyway. Nor did he fear the fierce attack of the orc army.
Whenever the orc army blew the horn of the charge, Assassis would personally bring the general guards around him to the city wall to fight against the orcs who had rushed to the wall; because the orc’s offensive was too violent, even Assassis’s The general guard has damaged many people.
On the morning of the seventeenth day of the siege by the orc army, the orc army's offensive horn had not yet sounded, and Assassis came to the city wall with the nine remaining generals under his command; he was reminded by Hades last night , Today's mood is very heavy.
Knowing that Atos led the 200,000 troops to come for reinforcements, Assassis’ first reaction was not joy, but helplessness; he knew the strength of the governor’s palace, and naturally understood that the 200,000 troops came to the governor’s palace. What it means.
If the arrival of 200,000 reinforcements can indeed change the balance of forces between the enemy and the enemy on the battlefield and contain the attack of the orc army; then Assassis is definitely looking forward to the arrival of the reinforcements, even if the reinforcements can come sooner.
But the problem now is that the 200,000 army is simply not enough to change the strength of the enemy and the enemy on the battlefield. The orc army, which has absolute quantitative and qualitative advantages, can easily defeat this reinforcement army that rushed to the battlefield; The government lost the precious 200,000 soldiers, and the army defending Meng Dan's province would be greatly damaged. It would also be a problem to be able to defend Meng Dan under the orc's attack.
In any case, the reinforcements will be a good thing to improve the morale of the soldiers who are defending the city. Asassis who came to the city wall did not hide it, and directly sent this inspiring good news to the army. Tell the soldiers under his command.
Even the soldiers who were already fighting with the determination to die, after learning that the reinforcements in the rear were coming, they would inevitably cheer and jump; looking at the hopeful smiles of the overjoyed soldiers, Assassis’ heart was good and bad. It is more comfortable.
Assassis waited for more than two hours on the city wall, but the orc army that should have launched the attack long ago did not launch the attack. Such an abnormal scene gave him an ominous hunch in his heart. The reinforcements on the way up.
Atos, who is commanding the army to advance to the frontline fortress, uses the 47th and 5th Synthetic Corps of the headquarters as the central army, the 40th and 44th Corps as the left-wing army, and the 67th Corps and The 68th Legion is the right wing army, and the other four synthetic legions are the rear army. This typical inverted triangle formation is used to prepare for the orc army that may appear at any time.
Prepared to fight to reinforce the army, and pushed it only ten miles away from the frontline fortress area, only to encounter the first army of orcs who found them; even this wolf cavalry of less than 5,000 scale, after they were found, there was no The meaning of attacking them.
After more than ten minutes of cruising around the high-stress reinforcement army, the wolf cavalry turned around and retreated; looking at the wolf cavalry that went away as fast as the tide, Atos always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.
Before waiting for Atos to come up with something in his contemplation, a 50,000-scale orc army slowly appeared on the battlefield; the dark orcs first moved slowly in twos and threes, and then they became groups. The team's charge, Atos quickly commanded the generals to meet the enemy.
The 47th, 40th, and 67th Legions, who were at the forefront of the army, used their weapons and equipment to build dozens of strong defense lines, and the other three legions were closely followed by time. Prepare to fight back.
Only the 80,000 soldiers of the four synthetic legions under Giskar's command were ordered to stay on alert and did not participate in the next battle; in this regard, Giskar, who was not strong in fighting for the victory, did not raise any objections.
The orc army, composed entirely of hog warriors and kobold warriors, is indeed much stronger than the soldiers of the Imperial Regiment, but the war is not a battle between individuals, but between the army and the army. Battle strength.
With the forty-seventh legion as the core, the fortieth legion and the sixty-seventh legion as the two-wing auxiliary battle army, through the battle array cooperation, it easily blocked the seemingly fierce attack of the orc army; the two sides fought for half an hour later , The three legions that have been waiting for the opportunity to launch counterattacks have launched counterattacks against the orc army from the flanks of the battlefield.
With the beginning of the counterattack, the orc army, which has always shown its fearlessness and death, appeared orc warriors who escaped on a large scale. Fully counterattack!
