The night quietly opened the flowers, but let the day go to receive the thanks.

– Rabindranath Tagore (Indian poet, philosopher, and Indian nationalist)

The formation of the cavalry corps went quite smoothly, and the tacit cooperation between Cabaye and Donald was a highlight in the process of forming the corps.

High-quality Roman horses, sophisticated weapons and equipment, and sufficient qualified soldiers allowed the 10,000-strong cavalry corps with one man and two horses to be quickly formed;

However, the arrival of the second batch of ten teams of Roman heavy infantry made Bai Feng run to the pro-guard barracks on the banks of the Xingyue River, and this time Bai Feng brought out the twenty-four ballistas that had been idle for a long time on the way back and forth to Rome.

In addition to the disadvantage of slow movement speed, the ballista is far superior to the range and super lethality of archers, making it an absolute nightmare for any enemy on the battlefield, especially light cavalry with weak defense.

The mobility of the light cavalry is often obtained at the expense of defense and siege capabilities, and the lethality of the light cavalry can be imagined with the ballista troops, which can even be mass-inflicted by the hoplites.

These 24 teams of crossbow artillery belonging to the long-range arms were handed over by Bai Feng to Wen Ke, who was all long-range troops; the longbow troops, the crossbow troops, and the ballista troops, the long-range troops composed of the three major long-range arms, were naturally not weak in combat power.

After arranging the Roman heavy infantry and ballista troops, Bai Feng returned to the garrison of the army without stopping, because tomorrow morning, a large force consisting of reinforcements from the military headquarters and reinforcements from the Holy See would arrive at the garrison.

The 30,000 recruits in the military reinforcements have been determined to be handed over to Quintus for a month's training, and the 20,000 soldiers who have been specially trained by the military camp in the city of Rome will become the reinforcement of the army.

After the counteroffensive officially begins, it is inevitable that all legions will suffer casualties of varying degrees, and at that time, it will definitely be too late to count on the military headquarters far away in the imperial capital to provide additional troops, so it is better to prepare as soon as possible.

The other 10,000 specially trained soldiers will be added to Ranokia's Iron Guard, although Ranocchia has not clearly expressed his willingness to accept these 10,000 recruits now, but Bai Feng knows that he will definitely accept them after seeing the combat effectiveness of these soldiers.

After Quintus subdued Louis and the others through a head-to-head battle, the 14th, 16th, 56th, 57th, and 58th legions and the Iron Guard, a total of six legions of 120,000 luring troops, would be directly commanded by him.

As for the four standing legions in the military reinforcements, Bai Feng, who did not have much time to improve the combat effectiveness of these four legions, would try his best to redress some of the officers and men in these four legions, and then leave them near the main army.

Judging from the order of numbers alone, Bai Feng could know how bad the combat effectiveness of these four legions was; in Bai Feng's opinion, it was better for him to stay by his side and slowly cultivate his descendants than to let such a legion go to the battlefield to die.

It is precisely because the combat effectiveness of these four legions is too weak, and they only have the name of the standing legion, but not the standing legion, so the Duke of Cullen of the military department will be so generous and send these four standing legions as reinforcements to himself.

If he really sent these four legions of combat scum to the battlefield, he would still be the one who was pitted in the end; the death of a large number of soldiers would hit the morale of the army under his command after all, and this would be a deal that would not outweigh the losses.

On the contrary, if he can win the hearts of these four soldiers of the underappreciated legion, then they will naturally follow him; once they become his descendants, is it not easy to improve their combat effectiveness?

The only thing that made Bai Feng feel troubled was the Holy See's reinforcements that he was most concerned about, and it was not easy to use the Holy See's Bright Knights, whose overall strength was stronger than the Heavenly Dragon Empire, at least Bai Feng felt that he might have to pay a lot of price!

The next morning, when the overwhelming array of imperial soldiers appeared like dark clouds to the south of the army's garrison, Bai Feng, who was standing on the watchtower of the Yulin Legion barracks, personally led the 500 soldiers led by Steve out of the camp to welcome the Holy See's reinforcements.

The imperial soldiers in white military uniforms marched in neat steps, step by step in the direction of the army station, and the first reinforcement unit that caught Bai Feng's eye was the 74th Army Corps, which was relatively the most elite among the 110,000 military reinforcements!

"The Seventy-fourth Standing Regiment of the Empire, Legion Commander Basaromu has seen His Excellency the General!" Basaromu, who was wearing the Legion Commander's battle armor, rode his horse with his own soldiers and galloped in front of Bai Feng, then sat on his horse with his waist very respectfully and saluted Bai Feng.

"General Basaromu, on behalf of all the soldiers of the empire in Besançon Province, I welcome you and your soldiers!" Bai Feng greeted the reinforcements he took the initiative to ask for, "It's been a long journey, and I've worked hard for you." ”

"Your Excellency General, it is the duty of our generation of soldiers to serve the empire!" Barsalomu, who was still high-sounding one second ago, said with excitement on his face the next second: "What's more, fighting under the command of the Yulin God of War is the long-awaited wish of every soldier of our empire!"

"Is it?" Bai Feng, who was so crying and laughing at such a big turn, had to change the topic and said: "General Basaromu, I have prepared lunch and food for the soldiers of your 74th Army at the station, you can go over and rest first." ”

"No!" Knowing that Bai Feng and the Holy See needed to greet him, Barsalomu immediately rode back to his legion.

"The Seventy-seventh Imperial Standing Legion, Commander Felix has seen His Excellency the General!"

"The Eighty-second Imperial Standing Legion, Commander Leopold has seen His Excellency the General!"

"Imperial Eighty-fourth Standing Legion, Commander Hoy has seen His Excellency the General!"

After witnessing the soldiers of the 84th Legion passing by him in turn, what appeared in front of Bai Feng was a group of bright knights wearing silver armor, holding silver cavalry spears, and riding pure white war horses.

This cavalry phalanx, composed of five hundred knights of light, maintained an extremely neat cavalry formation while marching, and in the silent marching column, only the sound of the horses panting and the sound of the knights' armor crashing were clearly audible.

Looking at the team of Light Knights passing by one after another, Bai Feng's brows also furrowed more and more, he was not dissatisfied with the Light Knights' attitude of ignoring him, but he was secretly shocked by the strength of these Light Knights in his heart.

The Bright Knights that Bai Feng saw in the past were all scattered throughout the Heavenly Dragon Empire in the bishopric's district, and the Bright Knights composed of just five hundred high-ranking knights could not shock Bai Feng, who was used to seeing big scenes.

Until the appearance of the entire 10,000 Bright Knights in front of him, the scene of tens of thousands of high-ranking knights gathering together, I am afraid that anyone who sees it will inevitably be shocked and lose their minds;

And this is only the power of the Holy See in the Heavenly Dragon Empire; you must know that the relationship between the Heavenly Dragon Empire and the Holy See has not been very close, and the development of the Holy See in the Heavenly Dragon Empire is not very rapid, and it is not comparable to the development of the Holy See in other principalities, kingdoms, and empires.

It can be seen from this that the power of the Holy See is really strong, and it really deserves to be the most powerful force of the human race! The reinforcement of tens of thousands of high-ranking knights is a good thing for the current Heavenly Dragon Empire and Bai Feng, but the strength of the Holy See is not a good thing for Roman City.
