Also on August 31 of the mainland Gregorian calendar, the days of the French army on the battlefield on the Eastern Front were not so good. The 13th Army Corps www.biquge.info was forced to retreat into Lancados, and the 13th Corps, although the 3rd Army organized rescue troops several times, was mostly in vain due to the obstruction of the Iberian Army. By 21 August, only the 4,000 men led by the commander of the 8th Division, Rut Bass, had managed to break through to Lancados and join the 13th Army. The only ones who could keep up with him were Gustav Fersen of the 36th Regiment, Dean Roen of the 40th Regiment, and David Yadan of the 45th Regiment.

Entering the city, Bass met China in the original public bathhouse, the whole of Langcados, which happened to be located south-central and was the only three-story building in the city. Running to the roof of the building can clearly grasp the situation of the whole city, which is very beneficial for the implementation of command work. In addition, there is a special advantage that the water pipes of the public bathhouse are designed and arranged independently, so they are not easy to be damaged by the other party.

"General Bass, have you brought me any special good news?" Cenna asked, standing at a table with a city plan, and even though she frowned, Bass still felt that the admiral was graceful.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but the Wyvern who reported the military intelligence when I attacked had just set off."

"Oh, I'm a little too anxious." China said lightly.

"However, please rest assured, the Prime Minister will come to our rescue as soon as possible." Bas reassured.

"Even if we know he's coming, we'll have to live until that time, General Bass, and since you've come to me, you must be quite conscious." China said solemnly.

"From the moment I joined the army, I had that awareness." Buzz replied.

"That's good, what units are coming with you this time?"

"In addition to the 36th and 40th regiments under my command, the 9th Regiment of the 45th Division also followed."

"That regiment of Officer Yadan?"

"Yes, this time he brought in the 2 squadrons of heavy infantry in the regiment."

"Hehe, this is quite a powerful move, it just so happens that fighting a defensive war is when they are needed the most." China smiled. Subsequently, she divided the defense zone for the friendly forces of the Third Regiment, but the 1,000 men of the 45th Regiment were counted in the reserve.

In the 3rd Legion of the Fallency, you can see many units and formations that the traditional Falencian Legion does not have. For example, Mel Noyce's 41st Regiment had two squadrons of heavily armored lancers; Andreru Rex's Heavy Axe Cavalry Regiment; Then there were the two hoplite squadrons of the 45th Regiment in Yadan. Some of these units were modeled after the Marstar Army, and some were created in the traditions of the Falencian Army. Here, the hoplites of the 45th Regiment were the product of the latter, trained to fight in the manner of the Mastar phalanx, while at the same time incorporating the Falencian tradition in terms of equipment and tactics, and thus such a unit was born.

In previous campaigns, the 45th Regiment, which had always been nicknamed "strong, strong, and slow", did not perform particularly well in the movement warfare commanded by Sogrend because of the characteristics of its troops. Some even wondered if it was necessary to maintain such a weak-looking army, since they spent the most on weapons and armor in the entire legion. However, after this battle, the name of the 45th Regiment of Heavy Infantry will spread throughout France and will always be admired.

The Iberian Army was in a constant debate over whether to attack Gresden or Lancados first. If Gresden is captured, then Langcados will be no problem. But the reality shows that Griston is like a bird in the woods, which can be seen but not caught. And Lancados seems to be more of the bird in the hand.

The Earl of Lancaster, as the commander of the mercenaries, thought that it would be advantageous to clear the Falencian army of Lancados first, and judging from the actions of the Falencian army in the front, the garrison of Gresden hoped to be able to take the friendly forces of Lancados into the city, or hoped that they could temporarily withdraw from the battlefield at a slight cost. As an attacker, if such a partial division that still has considerable strength is left alone, there will definitely be problems in the future. Therefore, he proposed early on to attack Lancados first, and the Iberians did not seem interested in it at first. Instead, the Count was accused of putting the Thirteenth Legion of Falency into battle. As a mercenary, the Earl of Lancaster was under no obligation to follow suit, and immediately after leaving the meeting, he wrote a letter to his homeland, hoping that Prince Henry would come as soon as possible to assist him in his relations with Iberia.

By 28 August, the Iberian counts seemed to have finally understood that it was impossible for them to take Gresden quickly, and turned to Offfleet III to attack Langcados. The King of Iberia, after consulting General Garcia and the Earl of Lancaster, agreed to their request. From that day on, the pressure on the city of Langcados increased instantly.

On the one hand, General Garcia arranged for the Royal Knights to tightly seal the connection between Gresden and Lancados, and on the other hand, arranged for the various flag companies of his country to enter their respective attack positions. The previous move he did was very successful, and Huo Lin had organized several shocks, all of which were in vain. Even if the most brave and combative 31st Regiment axe cavalry was sent, they were still stubbornly pushed back by the other side. Although Jack Fleet was quite unwilling to do this, he also knew that he could no longer act rashly. On the latter side, the poor coordination of the Iberian army was exposed in the siege of Lancados on the 29th and 30th. They had the advantage in numbers, weapons, firepower, and supplies, but they were unable to storm the modest walls of Lankados. Because the various flag companies did not cooperate with each other according to General Garcia's arrangement at all, even though they had an absolute advantage in overall numbers, under the tactics of Chenna's active use of mobile forces, they were repeatedly beaten as inferior in force, which led to failure again and again. However, it cannot be said that the Iberians did not achieve anything during these two days. At the very least, they greatly depleted the forces of the Farensi army. According to later statistics, on the 29th and 30th, the 13th Army Corps lost more than 9,000 troops in total, and the headquarters of the 3rd Army Corps also suffered 1,700 casualties. And the vast majority of this is due to the long-range firepower of the Iberian Army.

On the night of the 30th, when China inspected the city walls, many sleepy soldiers were sleeping soundly against the ruined walls. The walls were collapsing and crumbling, and the Falencians were barely repairing them by searching for relatively complete materials from the destroyed houses near the walls. Many of the young men were in full swing, shirtless, revealing new wounds, some still oozing blood.

The arrival of Chenna made these guys feel a little nervous, and they panicked and pulled a piece of clothing from the side and put it on their bodies, regardless of whether it was their own or not. The situation brought tears to Chinna's eyes, and she knew very well that this was why she loved the army from the bottom of her heart. Many people believe that war is cruel and that war is to strangle and destroy humanity. It should be said that those who hold these views are right, but they ignore the fact that the same humanity shines out in war. This is not to praise war, but to illustrate how to combat the inhuman side of war. Throughout history, dehumanized armies have eventually failed, no matter how powerful they were. For wars are always wars of men, and it is impossible for non-humans to win in the wars of men, just as it is impossible for a dove to grow up in an eagle's nest.

"Legionnaire, this is not a job you can do, so leave it to us." The soldier hurriedly stopped.

"What? Am I not a soldier? Am I not one of the guards of this city? Cenna asked rhetorically, clutching a large wooden beam.

"Since I am now the Supreme Commander in charge of defending this city, I have the right and duty to carry out my duties and participate in any matter that I deem important." China said.

The soldiers could no longer stop her, and the only thing they could do was to work harder in order to lighten the burden on the commander.
