The core of the three-column battle formation was not its loose formation, but its flexible and changeable combat methods, and the Roman youth army that used the three-column battle formation could easily crush the rigid enemy army when facing an enemy army of the same size with strict discipline.

When the Roman legions conquered the Greek states and the Macedonian kingdom, the Greek heavy infantry and Macedonian pikemen, who used a large number of super-long spear phalanxes, were defeated by the Roman army that used three columns, and they did not even have a chance to fight back.

It is no exaggeration to say that the three-column battle array used by the Roman youth army is the essence of the Roman legion, and it is one of the best battle formations that has truly withstood the test of countless wars.

How to let the soldiers of the Seventh Wing learn and skillfully use the three-column battle formation is the key to whether Bai Feng can successfully improve the combat effectiveness of the Seventh Wing; for this reason, Bai Feng gave death orders to the four captains of Bonella, Carol, Darren, and Lennon.

The so-called death order is that Bai Feng strictly ordered these four captains to take the lead in learning from Hans the command method of the three-column battle array; if they want to give full play to the power of the three-column battle array on the battlefield, it is not enough to rely on the efforts of the soldiers alone, and the mastery of the commander is the most important thing.

Although Hans was a pure Germanic general, he was born into the Roman system, and the use of the three-column battle array was the instinct of every Roman general, and they could use it handily to symbolize the three-column battle formation of the Roman legions.

With Hans personally teaching these four captains, supplemented by the actual training of the Roman youth army, Bonella and others still learned very quickly; in fact, the command of the three battle formations was not difficult to learn, otherwise the Roman legions in history would not have found so many commanders.

In addition to the four captains of the Bonella, the other twenty squadron leaders followed the centurion of the Roman youth army to learn the use of the three-column battle formation, and each Roman youth centurion was responsible for teaching the five squadron leaders of a brigade.

Because the brigade establishment of the Seventh Wing was the standard establishment of the Imperial Standing Army, and each brigade had five hundred-man squadrons, Bai Feng formulated a new three-column battle formation for them in view of this different establishment from the Roman legions.

Normally, the three-column battle formation is a kind of battle formation that can be used by a single team of Roman young soldiers and soldiers, and can be used by multiple teams of Roman troops; when Bai Feng formulated the establishment of the Roman legions, he deliberately adopted the formation of three Roman arms as a brigade.

In order to give full play to the combat effectiveness of each squadron as much as possible, Bai Feng decided to make a slight adjustment to the squadron size of the Seventh Wing, adjusting the number of people in each squadron from 100 to 80.

In this way, the number of squadrons in each brigade was changed from five to six, and it was possible to form two detachments that could use three columns independently, and the surplus 20 officers and men were used to act as the direct subordinate unit of the brigade commander himself, responsible for conveying the orders of the brigade commander.

The new establishment formulated by Bai Feng is indeed conducive to the role of each soldier, and even to a certain extent, this establishment is closer to the basic establishment of the Roman legions in history; the only drawback is that this establishment further increases the pressure on the officers of the Seventh Wing.

The new Seventh Wing will require four squadron leaders and eight additional squadron commanders on the basis of the existing officers; because the command tasks of the detachment leaders conflict with those of the squadron leaders, the detachment leaders and squadron leaders cannot be concurrently held by one person.

The Seventh Wing, as a subordinate wing of the 40th Army Corps, a newly established corps, was already seriously lacking experienced middle and low-ranking officers; there was no way to find more suitable officers, so Bai Feng had to select officers with good performance within the Seventh Wing.

Those squadron leaders who were always able to lead their squadrons to achieve good rankings in ordinary training were directly promoted by Bai Feng to the newly established detachment leaders; among the eight newly appointed squadron leaders, five people, including Sandy and Tracy, were impressively listed, which could be regarded as a manifestation of Bai Feng's cronyism.

The vacant twelve squadrons without squadron leaders, their new squadron leaders were all directly promoted by Bai Feng from among the squad leaders who performed well; in this way, the Seventh Wing, which lacked officers, was finally equipped with commanders at all levels.

In just a dozen days, Bai Feng first raised his military salaries, and then wantonly promoted his officers; the morale of the entire wing was mobilized, and the officers and men who enjoyed tangible benefits quickly turned into staunch supporters and active supporters of Bai Feng.

A few days later, the morale-boosting Seventh Wing not only successfully completed the basic training requirements set by Bai Feng, but even the three battle formations that were not difficult were well trained, and at this time, the army was still more than ten days away from the Sunset Fortress.

The Duke of Kleist and the four royal legions under his command had already arrived at Sunset Fortress ten days before, and the participation of 200,000 elite imperial aces in the battle immediately stabilized the precarious defense line of Sunset Fortress.

The defenders of Sunset Fortress, with four royal legions as the main force and eight other Imperial Standing Legions with heavy casualties as their auxiliary, rushed to the battlefield with the Iron Guards after five days of bloody battles with the frenzied Orc Imperial army.

The 5,000 elite divisions of the Iron Guard, plus half of the city defense troops of the more than 20 provinces closest to Sunset Fortress, this new force led by the Marquis of Rundstead, with their number of more than 60,000 people, effectively relieved the pressure on Sunset Fortress's military resources.

Even so, the total strength of the Empire in Sunset Fortress was still less than 300,000, and the number of orc Imperial troops attacking Sunset Fortress was still about 1.4 million.

After nearly a month of special training, the officers and men of the Seventh Wing were not reborn, but at least they were in a new spirit, and their marching speed was much faster than that of the 160,000-strong army.

However, an accident interrupted the march of the Seventh Wing, because the Duke of Gna's space ring had limited capacity, so the army still relied on the transportation of a considerable amount of military supplies, and the accident was due to the quartermaster troops transporting the supplies.

A troop of 300 men was left behind on the way, and when the Duke of Gna sent a patrol cavalry to find them, they were disarmed and tied to tree trunks on both sides of the road, and the military supplies were looted along with the precious magic transports!

This magic transporter, powered by wind magic crystals, was the main tool for transporting military supplies to the Empire, but now it was robbed by bandits, and Duke Gna, as the commander of the army, was immediately furious, and handed over the task of recovery to the fortieth legion in the rear of the army.

Giscard soon fell into a dilemma after receiving the task, because the order given to him by the Duke of Gna was not only to suppress the bandits and recover the supplies, but also not to affect the speed of the march of the 40th Legion.

Bai Feng, who didn't want to take over this hot potato, had to take on the task on the premise that the other nine wing captains could not ensure that the speed of the march would not be affected;
