The smallest life in the world has the noblest dignity.

The 150,000 Lucy army led by Viriacius and the more than 80,000 remnants of the Eastern Alliance launched a cat-and-mouse pursuit in the border area between the Lucian tribe and the Eastern Alliance.

When he learned that Viriacius had led the last 150,000 troops of the Lucian tribe to the frontier battlefield, he immediately ordered the army that was marching northeast to turn around and begin to advance in the direction of due north.

In Bai Feng's view, the empty northwestern part of Lubei in the rear is far more strategically valuable than the deserted border area, and as long as the Roman army can successfully occupy the northwestern part of Lubei, Viriacius and his 150,000 troops will be reduced to rootless duckweed.

At that time, even if Viriasius led his army into the hinterland of the Eastern Alliance and occupied a large part of the territory of the Eastern Alliance, what could the Eastern Alliance, which did not even have many old, weak, women and children left, provide to Viriacius? I am afraid that it would not be able to provide anything.

Although Bai Feng had never received information from Lu Quis's side, he still knew the general situation of the Eastern Alliance, if it wasn't really to the point of food shortage, knowing that its own strength was not strong enough, how could the Eastern Alliance invade the Lu Western Tribe?

The Eastern Alliance had seen how powerful the army of the Luxi tribe was, so even though the total number of troops of the Luxi tribe was only 550,000, the Eastern Alliance, which had 700,000 troops on the surface, still did not dare to say that it was sure of victory.

Facts have proved that the Eastern Alliance's evaluation of the combat effectiveness of its own army is still somewhat overestimated; the army of up to 700,000 people not only failed to annihilate the 300,000 border garrisons of the Luxi tribe, but also almost ended up with the annihilation of its own army.

The loss of nearly 700,000 troops was absolutely unbearable for the Eastern Alliance, which had a total population of only 1.5 million, and now the total population of the Eastern Alliance has dropped to 1.2 million, and the number of troops is less than 300,000!

Of the 300,000 troops of the Eastern Alliance, at least half are old and weak women and children, and the remaining half are also young and strong men with little combat experience and poor weapons and equipment.

Bai Feng, who was preparing to sit back and watch the 150,000 Lucy army occupy half of the territory on the west bank of the Eastern Alliance, finally received a message from Luquis on the day he led the army to capture the core settlement of the Luxi tribe.

According to Luquis's report, since he led his troops to land on the east and west banks of the Eastern Alliance, the Fourth Route Army under his command has successfully occupied all the territory on the east bank of the Eastern Alliance, and even two-thirds of the territory on the west bank of the Eastern Alliance, which has a large garrison, has fallen into the hands of the Roman army.

This good news, which began three days ago, not only means that the established strategy of the city of Rome has succeeded for the most part, but also means that the eastern alliance, with a total population of 1.2 million, has 900,000 people who have been included in the sphere of influence of the city of Rome and become the people under the rule of the city of Rome.

More than 200,000 captives of the Eastern Alliance meant that the population of the Acenian Kingdom was about to increase by more than 200,000, which was not only a manifestation of the Roman city's strong support for the Aceni Kingdom, but also a small gift from Bai Feng as a man to his woman, Queen Boudicca.

Yes, the number of Eastern Alliance captives as high as more than 200,000 is just a small gift for Bai Feng, as the supreme ruler of the Roman City forces that is about to unify the eastern region, Bai Feng is indeed qualified to describe these more than 200,000 captives in this way.

After confirming that Luquis's side had completed the established plan, Bai Feng's side naturally didn't have to worry about anything when it came to doing things, and the Roman army composed of three Roman legions, a phalanx legion, and a Lucy legion was directly disassembled by Bai Feng and used.

Licinius's 1st Army and Vimina's 2nd Army were divided into eight independent operational units in a unit, and the Lucy Expeditionary Corps was divided into troops to cooperate, starting from the core settlements of the Lucian tribe, and launching an attack on more than a dozen settlements in the northwest of Luxi from east to west.

Luculus's Seventh Army and Leonida's Spartan Army, as well as Maxi and Darnell, followed by him, starting from the core settlements of the Luxi tribe and attacking more than a dozen settlements in the northwest of Luxi from west to east.

The coordination between Licinius, Vimina, and Nishimura will be coordinated by Vimina, the Supreme Commander of the Combined Legion, appointed by Bai Feng himself, and the size of the division of troops after each Luciju is captured will also be determined by Vimina himself.

As the defensive master among the twin generals of the Carthage Kingdom in the Roman world, Vermyna's strategic vision and tactical ability are second to none; even Bai Feng himself does not dare to guarantee that his tactical command ability is as strong as that of Vimyna.

In fact, Bai Feng's idea is actually putting gold on his own face, because his personality charm is far inferior to Hannibal's Vimyna, and his superb tactical command ability is better than Hannibal's, not to mention Bai Feng's limited tactical level.

With Vermina in command of the First Legion, the Second Legion, and the Lucy Expeditionary Legion, Bai Feng, who was not distracted, could focus all his energy on how to lead the army to attack the Lucy settlement and exterminate the Lucy army.

The settlements in the northwestern part of Lu, where there were few soldiers left, had a large number of young and strong people, but there was no leader to mobilize the young and strong, and in order to avoid a large-scale rebellion like the one in the northwestern part of Lu, the leaders of the settlements were led by Viriacius in the army.

As everyone knows, it was precisely because of this move by Viriacius that Bai Feng was given the opportunity to easily break through the various settlements in the northwest of Luxi, and in just five days, more than a dozen settlements from the core settlement of the western Luxi tribe to the border area of Luxi were all occupied by the army led by Bai Feng himself.

In the newly occupied more than ten Lucy settlements, it is definitely not possible to send soldiers to stay behind, but leaving too many soldiers will affect the overall combat strength of his own army; after comprehensive consideration, Bai Feng decided to focus on the system soldiers, supplemented by Maxi and Danel, and keep the garrison.

By the time the army marched to the Lucy border area, Luculus's originally fully equipped Seventh Army Corps had only the 1st and 2nd Wings and two cavalry brigades still in formation, and the number of soldiers left in each of the two divisions, Maxi and Danel, was only 1,500.

Because of the large army gathered by the main force under the command of Luquis as a backup move, the strength of the troops under his command was reduced to 25,000 Baifeng, and he was still pursuing the advance route of the 150,000 Lucy army and advancing eastward, without the slightest intention of stopping the advance of his own army.

At the same time that Bai Feng led his army eastward, Luquis, who had left all the barbarian legions to garrison the various conquered areas, had already gathered four Roman legions and two cavalry legions, including the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth, and began to advance to the west occupied by the remnants of the Eastern Alliance.
