It's one thing to fall in love with a beautiful body, it's very superficial, but to fall in love with a beautiful being adds a depth that is unfathomable.

On the naval side, the Eastern Alliance and the Aceni Kingdom possessed typical barbarian wooden ships made it difficult for them to launch large-scale landing operations, and the large armies of the Eastern Alliance could not cross the border and enter southwestern Luxi without their knowledge.

As a result, the situation in the eastern region will become clearer, and the only force that can afford to send troops to land in the southwest of Luxi is the newly emerging mysterious power on the south bank in the eyes of the Luxi tribe, namely the Roman city of Baifeng.

When the time comes, the leader of the Luxi tribe, Viriacius, will inevitably mobilize heavy troops to the south to expel the Roman army, and the empty border defense line in Luxi will allow the Eastern Alliance that is about to launch an attack to benefit, which is not the result that Bai Feng has worked hard to obtain.

According to Bai Feng's established strategic plan, the Eastern Alliance and the Luxi tribe should be the hostile sides that fight to the death first, and when they are defeated by the sandpipe, the Roman army on the north bank of the Cangluo River with an elite division is the one who really profits.

Under the premise that the general strategic direction remains unchanged, Vimini's view of the situation in southwestern Lu is undoubtedly very accurate, especially his suggestion to attack cautiously or even try to avoid the Roman army from going to war coincides with Bai Feng's thoughts.

"Vermina, I'll give you two days, and you must sort out the plan to divide the counterinsurgency army of the Luxi tribe, and whether or not the counterinsurgency army of the Luxi tribe is composed of pure northern warriors, we must let Naoki Yoshikawa try it. ”

"No!" Vimina, who already had a rough plan in mind, calmly responded.

Thanks to Bai Feng's practice of encouraging generals to express their opinions when holding military meetings in the past, while Vimina was ordered to return to his seat, Luculus stood up and suggested: "Governor, should we tell Commander Naoki Yoshikawa to send troops to test it first?" ”

"Otherwise, once the counterinsurgency army of the Luxi tribe is really composed of pure northern warriors, then not only will the discordant plan led by Naoki Yoshikawa fail, but even the limited strength of the rebel army will be severely damaged, which will be detrimental to the development of the next war. ”

"No, there is no need for that. In this regard, Bai Feng shook his head and refused: "Even if the counterinsurgency army of the Luxi tribe is composed of all northern soldiers, our plan of discord will still succeed; ”

Seeing the look of doubt on Lukurus's face, Bai Feng explained to him in detail: "Of the 550,000 troops in the Luxi tribe, 150,000 are second-line infantry provided by their vassal tribes, and the remaining 400,000 soldiers are the troops that really belong to the Luxi tribe. ”

"If the counterinsurgency army is composed entirely of soldiers from northwestern Luxi, then half of the other 300,000 Lusi troops are composed of southwestern Lusi soldiers, which means that as long as the counterinsurgency army dares to kill them, this half of the southwestern Lusi soldiers will inevitably make a fuss. ”

"Although it will take time for news of the southwestern part of the country to reach the northwestern part of the country, I believe that the leader of the western tribe of Luxi, Viriacius, will not take such a risk, so the counterinsurgency army of the western tribe of the western Luxi tribe cannot be an army composed of pure northern warriors. ”

"I see!" Luculus, who suddenly came to his senses, nodded and made a new suggestion: "Governor, then we have to let Commander Naoki Yoshikawa hurry up and control the southern part of Luxi in his hands as soon as possible, this is simply a guarantee of invincibility!"

This is true. After Bai Feng nodded slightly, he immediately ordered: "Licinius, Vermina, and Luculus, immediately transfer the light cavalry brigade directly under your respective legions and hand it over to the command of Naoki Yoshikawa to help him unify the southwest of Luxi as soon as possible!"

"No!" Regarding this order, the three generals under his command, Li Sini, who had sufficient cavalry, had no objection.

The multi-arm Roman legion consisted of four infantry wings, each of which consisted of four infantry brigades, one Roman light cavalry, one Roman auxiliary cavalry, and one Roman light infantry, one Roman youth army, and one Roman heavy infantry.

In this way, the Roman legionary infantry wings, each with two teams of cavalry directly under it, could act as both a reconnaissance force and a surprise attack in battle, so that each wing could become a relatively independent combat unit.

The Roman Light Cavalry Brigade and the Roman Auxiliary Cavalry Brigade, which were directly subordinate to the legion, were small cavalry clusters composed of five teams of cavalry each.

The Roman light cavalry brigade composed of five hundred and forty Roman light cavalry in five teams, and the Roman auxiliary cavalry brigade composed of five hundred and forty Roman auxiliary cavalry in five teams, the combat effectiveness of this thousand and eighty Roman cavalry is only stronger than that of 10,000 barbarian light cavalry!

This is not to say that every Roman light cavalry or Roman auxiliary cavalry can defeat ten barbarian light cavalry with one enemy of ten; it is just that the Roman cavalry is proficient in all kinds of superb cavalry tactics, and has sophisticated weapons and equipment and high-quality war horses, which the barbarian cavalry does not have.

Therefore, if it is really allowed to have two brigades of Roman cavalry against 10,000 barbarian cavalry, then the circular cavalry of the Roman auxiliary cavalry and the wedge-shaped charge of the Roman light cavalry will let the barbarian cavalry, who only know how to rush around, see what real cavalry is!

Therefore, Licinius and others, who were full of confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Roman cavalry under their command, did not repulse the order of the governor to send a Roman light cavalry brigade from his own army to reinforce the rebels of Naoki Yoshikawa, but were proud of it.

"Leonidas, starting tomorrow, the two cavalry wings under your command will shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the perimeter of the army, and before the Luxi tribe and the Eastern Alliance officially start the war, the traces of our army must not be detected by the people of the Luxi tribe!"

"No!" Leonidas, who had never been accustomed to cavalry combat, had no objection to this.

"Generals. After arranging the aid to the rebels and the deployment of the perimeter of the army, Bai Feng continued to order: "If we do not attack for the time being, it does not mean that we have to wait passively; tomorrow morning, the army will reopen and advance north at a rate of fifty miles a day." ”

"The position we are in now is about three hundred miles from south to north from Yoshikawa Naoki's rebels, and the position of the rebel army in western Luxi is about one hundred and fifty miles from Yoshikawa Naoki's rebels from north to south, which gives our army plenty of room to move. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Feng, who stood up, walked straight to the side of the map, pointed to the various triangles representing the various armies on the map, and said: "As long as the situation on the front line does not reach the point of being out of control, we have always maintained a safe distance of about fifty miles from the rebels. ”

"Such a distance can not only ensure that once the situation shows signs of getting out of control, our army can rush to the front line in time to control the situation, and it can also ensure that the counterinsurgency army in the western Luxi tribe will not be able to detect the existence of our army and will not affect the implementation of our established strategy. ”

Seeing that the military council was about to end, Vimini asked, "Governor, how should the marching order of our four legions be divided?"

"The First and Second Roman legions were the front army, the Spartan legion and the five thousand Tuntian soldiers were the middle army, and the Seventh Roman legion was the rear army. ”

"No!" the four generals responded in unison.
