Winning this battle did not mean that the war between the city of Rome and the Eastern Alliance was over, the real battlefield had just begun, and the southern invasion army of the Eastern Alliance still had a force of 30,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry still active on the south bank of the Cangluo River.

Only after this enemy army was also annihilated, the army of the city of Rome could go north with the main force without worries, and along the left flank tributaries of the Cangluo River, it was fortified to defend against the southern invasion of the Eastern Alliance, and completely control the area on the south bank of the Cangluo River in the hands of the Roman city.
After a bitter and bloody battle, the Roman army won the battle, but the cleaning up of the battlefield after the victory was a huge project, and the battle of 100,000 soldiers on both sides turned the place into a purgatory like hell on earth.
The soldiers who had survived the battle cheered excitedly, and when everyone had calmed down, the Roman army began to clear the battlefield, and the three legions of the Tasia army had suffered heavy losses, and Camilios retreated to the side with them first.
The Eagle Legion under Eggers maintained the best combat effectiveness, and naturally took on the heavy responsibility of guarding 20,000 enemy prisoners, and the legions of Gatus, Bazel, and Licinius were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, and Nelson was called in front of him by Bai Feng.
"General Nelson, shouldn't you take your mobile unit with you from the west side of Camp Tasya to the rear of the enemy army, and why would your mobile unit return to the battlefield at such a time?"
"Governor, I was leading the mobile unit on a detour from the west to the rear of the enemy, but less than two hours after our troops left the barracks, our patrol cavalry, which was in charge of roaming around the perimeter, spotted the enemy's army of 50,000 marching south.
I had intended to report the situation to you at once, but we came upon the Parthian archers on patrol, so I took the liberty of abandoning my march to the rear of the enemy, and quietly led my army to the battlefield behind the enemy. ”
"If you say that, your cavalry units are in the rear of the enemy army when they begin their attack on us, so why don't you strike at the enemy army as soon as possible, instead of delaying it until the battle situation is clear?"
Bai Feng's words are a bit serious, and even have a strong skeptical color, if Nelson can't give a reasonable explanation, then it is very likely that he will lose Bai Feng's trust, because Bai Feng has never felt that ability is more important than loyalty.
Whether it was in the Roman world in the past, or in the real world at this time, Bai Feng always trusted the generals who were loyal to him, not those who had the ability but did not have loyalty, this is Bai Feng's principle of dealing with the world, loyalty is more important than ability.
"Governor, you may think that this is a decision I made out of fear of hard fighting, but I would say that even if our Roman army was on the verge of defeat at the end of the battle, I would still lead my mobile troops to fight it.
Last time, I led tens of thousands of elite cavalry to attack the 10,000 infantry commanded by General Licinius, but the whole army was wiped out by General Licinius, which taught me how to better play the tactics of cavalry, and also taught me how to avoid the weakness of cavalry.
With the combat strength of the 6,000 cavalry of the mobile unit under my command, if we had joined the battle at the beginning of the battle, the enemy army that had not yet been caught up in the battle would certainly have been able to draw up enough troops to intercept my cavalry troops.
When the time comes, my cavalry will not only not be able to change the situation on the battlefield, but will destroy the only cavalry unit in the city of Rome, which is irresponsible, and I must wait until the enemy army has lost the strength to resist before attacking. ”
seemed to be aware of the dissatisfaction and doubts in Bai Feng's words, Nelson gave Bai Feng this explanation with a solemn face; looking at the sincerity in Nelson's eyes without evasion, Bai Feng, who had an understanding, suddenly smiled slightly and said:
"General Nelson, you have done a good job this time, even better than I thought! But our war with the Eastern Alliance has just begun, and when we have cleared all the enemy troops on the south bank of the Cangluo River, it will be time for your Roman Spear Legion to be formed!"
"Nelson swears allegiance to His Excellency the Doge, and to the city of Rome!"
Laughing and patting Nelson on the shoulder, Bai Feng led his retinue to the center of the battlefield, where the remnants of the Doge's Guard, who had been nearly wiped out, were receiving emergency treatment from Hua Mu, and the fierce general Antio collapsed to the ground.
"Hua Mu, these soldiers who have survived the battle are the backbone of my rebuilding Doge's Guard, and I need each of them to come back to Rome with me alive, do you understand?" Looking at the scarred soldiers of the Doge's Guard, Bai Feng gave the death order to the war doctor Hua Mu.
Hua Mu, who had never spoken much, didn't say anything, just nodded firmly at Bai Feng, and then was busy with his treatment work again;
The only person on the entire battlefield who had survived a bloody battle and was unscathed was none other than the battlefield ghost Adrien, who had completed the feat of beheading and capturing the flag, and when White Peak stood up from Antio's side, Adrien appeared respectfully in front of White Peak.
"Adrian, from now on you will be the commander of all the battlefield ghosts in our Roman City, I hope you will not disappoint me!" Receiving the black banner of the enemy army from Adrien's hand, Bai Feng smiled and gave Adrion an order that made the latter rarely excited.
Today's battle really made Bai Feng see the strength of the battlefield ghost, once such a special existence forms a scale, it is simply a nightmare for any enemy, and the role of the spellcaster is more than a step worse than the battlefield ghost.
Webster, who was a spellcaster, only unleashed the terrifying 'Spirit Gathering Blade' ten times before his mana was exhausted, and although at least hundreds of enemy soldiers were killed to achieve the power of the 'Spirit Gathering Blade', it was still far from Adrian's capture of the flag.
Of course, this incident itself was extremely accidental, who would have thought that the master of the tens of thousands of southern invasion troops of the Eastern Alliance would be a young man with only the strength of a high-level sword master?
No matter what, the strength of the spellcaster and the ghost of the battlefield is something that Bai Feng can't deny, and any of these two arms will definitely not play a role less than a group of young soldiers on the battlefield, they are simply the two sharpest swords of the Roman system army!
Perhaps the Roman army had more than just two swords, and even diplomats and spies whose recruitment costs were far inferior to those of the Assassins, so what kind of powerful combat power did the Assassins that could only be recruited when the city of Rome entered the city stage?
