Bai Xiaowen met the other two infantry phalanx commanders of the third line of defense.

These two infantry phalanx commanders are also the lords of the two territories in Northern Xinjiang, but their titles are higher than Bai Xiaowen's.

Among them, the leader of the eighteenth phalanx is a male lord named Julien, a viscount, an elite-level template. His own strength is average, and he can be the commander of an infantry phalanx, mainly because of the large number of soldiers recruited in the territory, reaching the scale of more than five hundred, which is comparable to Bai Xiaowen.

The other lord, a woman, was still very beautiful, named Cecilia, who was also a viscount. Her figure is excellent, convex and backward, and the silver shining armor only wraps the important parts in order to be light in battle, leaving a lot of room for people to think about it.

The same viscount, this woman is much stronger than Julien, and she is the leader template. She had dozens of elite knights under her command, each with horses and armor (which is important), in addition to hundreds of guards, to make up the main lineup of the Nineteenth Phalanx.

Although the two said hello to Bai Xiaowen out of aristocratic etiquette, their attitude was more reserved, and they were a little lukewarm towards Bai Xiaowen.

The reason is very simple, Bai Xiaowen is only a baron, and the soldiers under his command are also good and bad, how can He De become the commander of the third line of defense?

Being ridden on the head by Bai Xiaowen, the two of them must be dissatisfied.

However, despite his dissatisfaction, Lord Julien did not show much dissatisfaction, and only made a few perfunctory remarks, such as "I will definitely cooperate with the battle".

On the contrary, it was Cecilia, the female lord, who made it clear: "Although I have great respect for His Royal Highness the Prince, I still think that it is a bit of a child's play to appoint a little white face who has not grown any hair as a commander. In battle, I'll keep an eye on you, and don't expect me to carry out your orders if your orders aren't right. ”

Bai Xiaowen frowned and said, "If you are not satisfied with His Royal Highness the Prince's order, you can go to the Black Rock Fortress to see him in person and ask him to replace me." However, as long as I am in the position of commander, you must obey the combat orders given. If you refuse to obey my orders, I will report to the prince after the war. ”

"Then you go and report it. I will not let my fighters obey the indiscriminate command of a rookie who has no military experience. Cecilia turned and walked away, her hips writhing under her white cloak, and she walked away.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Lord Julien smiled and made a round: "Baron Dior, Cecilia is not easy to mess with, she is the most famous thorny beauty in Northern Xinjiang, nicknamed 'White Rose'." Since the death of her husband, she inherited the fief and the title according to her will, and many people have beaten the idea of this pretty widow, but without exception, all of them have been touched. ”

"White roses? This is a common flower at funerals in Northern Xinjiang. It's not a nice nickname. Bai Xiaowen said.

"Yes," Julien said, undeceased, "you know, the 'White Rose' rejected are all the heads and faces, and Cecilia's territory has been under a lot of pressure, and even bandits are rampant...... Some of the bandits were even specifically instructed to carry out sabotage in the past. ”

However, in just a few months, Cecilia stabilized the situation, and several of the leaders of the bandit group were shot by her own hands, and she sent her head to someone suspected of being behind the scenes, with a bouquet of white roses as a funeral flower...... Since then, the nickname of the White Rose has been called. ”

Lord Julien finally concluded: "Well, you don't have to take some of what she says to heart. In fact, even if you report to His Royal Highness the Prince, it doesn't mean much...... In this extraordinary period, His Royal Highness the Prince will not casually remove the commander of an infantry phalanx, especially a powerful faction like White Rose. Listen to me, get by, the forward line of defense will be lost sooner or later, and when the guards under him are dead, we will go back to the Black Rock Fortress to enjoy the blessings. ”

The corners of Bai Xiaowen's mouth twitched: "It makes sense." ”

In fact, Bai Xiaowen didn't know that Prince Nicholas would not casually remove the generals, what he said before was just the attitude that a new commander must have.

As for Cecilia's little widow...... Just educate her on the battlefield.

After an unpleasant but unpleasant meeting with the commander, Bai Xiaowen gave the 17th Infantry Phalanx under his command, with the old leading the new, forming a team of every fifty people, a total of 13 teams, and each team had an elite as the captain.

Bai Xiaowen unfolded a spiritual connection, and commanded the troops through these captains, and each team only looked at the captain's small flag, marching, stopping, retreating, and detouring, simulating a drill, but it also looked like it.

It's just that when they really go to the battlefield, those newly recruited civilians will definitely not be able to be so calm. This is also the reason why Bai Xiaowen dispersed the formation and led the new with the old, and after a few battles, the recruits naturally became veterans, and those who could not become veterans died.

At dusk, Bai Xiaowen received an order from Prince Nicholas: Taking advantage of the fact that the Remnant Pioneer Army had just arrived and had an unstable foothold, the nine infantry phalanxes of the three major defense lines took the initiative to attack!

The prince supervised the battle at the head of the city, and the execution of the order was still very strong, and the commander of the nine infantry phalanxes secretly cursed this order that made people die, while shouting loudly for the whole army, and it was a mess.

After this rabble was integrated, they began to advance towards the remnant camp at a tortoise-like pace.

To say that it is a turtle is really an insult to the turtle, according to the speed at which the three infantry phalanxes of the first line of defense move, each step moves only a few centimeters, which is slower than a snail.

The remnant camp had already been prepared, and one by one the half-orcs armed with war spears rushed out of the orc labor, without any formation at all, howling and rushing towards the infantry phalanx of the human combined army.

Seeing this scene, the three infantry phalanxes in front of them did not move, holding swords, shields and other weapons and waiting in place, quite a sense of majesty of "not moving like a mountain".

The charge of the remnant orc spearmen was like a roaring wave.

The three infantry phalanxes of the first line of defense are like castles on the beach......

The cries and shouts sounded almost immediately, and Bai Xiaowen stood on the back of the angry claw, and with his eyesight, he could almost clearly see the process of the battle. A half-orc spearman poked out a spear without any fancy and pierced through the wooden shield, stabbing the person hiding behind the wooden shield to the heart.

A sword slashed from the side, leaving a bloody mark on the shoulder of the half-orc spearman, but he didn't care at all, but instead stimulated the ferocity, roared, held the war spear in both hands and pushed forward, pushing the human soldier who was pierced back more than ten meters, and plowing two deep furrows on the ground with both feet.

The same scenario is happening elsewhere. As soon as they came into contact, the infantry phalanx of the first line of defense of the human combined army was declared scattered.

Of course, the human combined army is not all weak chickens, there are also some elites, roaring and swinging big swords and heavy shields to slash and slash the enemy. However, the battle loss ratio between the two sides is still very amazing, and according to Bai Xiaowen's eyesight, the average death of four to five human combined armies can replace a half-orc spearman.

Fortunately, in the first contact battle, the human combined forces had a numerical advantage, and the battle fell into a scorching situation.

A dull drum sounded, and between the camp roads that the remnants were building, two black waves suddenly rushed out.

Two orc wolf cavalry, brandishing machetes, join the battlefield!

The orc wolf cavalry is one of the main arms of the orc race, with a fierce temperament, aggression like fire, and explosive power, which is stronger than the elite cavalry of the human race. However, the wolf cavalry is unable to run long distances due to the limited stamina of the mounted wolf, which is also its disadvantage.

The remnant camp released the wolf cavalry at this time, which played to its advantage.

The two wolf cavalry were like two red-hot iron pestles, poking into the infantry phalanx of the human coalition, and the heads of people were rolling wherever the machetes went. And the fierce wolf also gnawed and bitten, and many human cavalry horses were frightened and retreated.

The cavalry, which represents the backbone of the human united army, retreated, and those low-level sword and shield men and spearmen were even more crushed at the touch of a button. The front team affects the back team, and once the morale is lost, it is like toppling the dominoes, and the consequences are sure to be quite fatal.

According to a rough estimate, these two wolf cavalry, with a total of less than 200 people, can play a role in swaying the situation of the battle, making the first line of defense, which is close to 2,000 people, and the three major infantry phalanxes retreat. That's how terrible the cavalry charge is.

And at this moment, a clear female voice sounded.

"Forty-five degrees, projectile!"

It was Cecilia, the white rose, who was riding a tall white horse, and pointed her thin sword in the direction of the orc wolf cavalry.

Boom!

The sound of breaking the air sounded, and the archers under Cecilia's command, under the orders of dozens of white-armored knights, bent their bows and shot one after another!

The arrows that were thrown rained down were quite penetrating. It doesn't matter if the orc wolf cavalry is shot with one arrow, they can still charge with injuries, but two or three arrows are unbearable. Especially after the wolf was injured, the speed was drastically reduced.

However, at this time, the wolf cavalry was chasing the human combined army of the first line of defense, and the two sides were very close. Cecilia's projectile command, although the angle was very accurate, still had some arrows shot at his own people.

The three lords of the first line of defense scolded angrily.

"Cecilia, stop shooting, I'm a friend!"

"Enough! More of your brethren died at the hands of your arrows than at the hands of the orcs!"

......

However, no matter how angry she scolded, the thin sword that Cecilia pointed at diagonally in her hand never recovered. The archers under her command also shoot non-stop.

Li Shuyi saw it and said with some admiration: "What an iron-blooded female general, it's so cool." ”

Bai Xiaowen: "I just want to know, she has always maintained this position...... Aren't your arms sore?"

“......”

Li Shuyi glanced at Bai Xiaowen: "Okay, shouldn't we also take action?" Prince Nicholas is watching, and now Cecilia has stolen the limelight. ”

Bai Xiaowen glanced back at Prince Nicholas, who was supervising the battle at the head of the city, and showed a smile.

"Don't worry. It's not time yet. ”

......

Under the blockage of the rain of arrows, the orc wolf cavalry finally stopped the charge, and the rout of the first line of defense only disrupted part of the formation of the second line of defense, and did not cause a complete rout.

And at this time, Prince Nicholas's second order arrived, this time it was very brief, only four words -

"Charge the whole army!"

After receiving this order, several lords were stunned. has already suffered a big loss, and they don't see the elite army of the empire in the fortress fighting, but let these cobbled rabble continue to charge?

Some people can't help but have the idea of thick black, could it be that Prince Nicholas wants to fight these mud-legged recruits first and all of them at once to save rations?

Some people are reluctant, but people like Lord Julien don't care. Spell it out, just fight it out, just have nothing to do, and go back to the Black Rock Fortress to hide.

In any case, Prince Nicholas at the head of the city was still supervising the war, and no one dared to disobey his orders.

Nine infantry phalanxes, after a short period of reorganization, began the second offensive. This time, even the third line of defense, where Bai Xiaowen was, joined the battle.

On the road of the remnants, teams of half-orc spearmen poured out like a tide, mixed with troll headhunters. This is the elite among the remnants, a real elite template. It seems that the commander of the remnants has also been annoyed by the harassment of the human united army, which cannot be beaten and still fights, and wants to teach the human united army a memorable lesson.

"Whoa......

A tall troll headhunter condescendingly stabbed with a spear, killing several soldiers of the Human Coalition Army one after another, and the [Berserk] state on his body had been stacked by as many as 3 layers, and he was more and more like the wind.

At the point of the rise, this troll headhunter even directly pulled a human United Army soldier in rudimentary leather armor, and bit down on his mouth with long fangs, and forcibly ripped off a large piece of skin and flesh from the other party, chewing on the blood, he was simply a demon in hell, and the image was terrifying!

The surrounding human coalition soldiers fled in fright, and only a knight in armor shouted slogans such as justice will prevail and launched a counter-charge. However, the troll headhunter grinned, bit his finger and smeared it on the war spear, and after muttering a word, the war spear poked out with blood!

The knight was directly stabbed through and fell off his horse.

The same scene was seen elsewhere, and this time the human coalition was even more unbearable and retreated.

And at this moment, a horn sounded.

From the horizon on both sides of the battlefield, two cavalry teams suddenly appeared! These two cavalry groups, both waving the banner of the Plantagenet Empire, launched a charge from the flanks against the remnant camp!

In front of one of the cavalry squads, a knight in blue armor with a lion motif on his back, armed with a thunderous war hammer, every swing of which would surely take the life of a remnant soldier, unstoppable!
