When you become famous, you will have some false friends and some real enemies, and you will still succeed no matter what.

At the same time that Bai Feng was waiting with his army and the rebels and the counterinsurgency army were facing each other, the 700,000 troops of the Eastern Alliance, composed of 250,000 allied soldiers and 450,000 old, weak, women and children, had already approached the central border area of the western Luxi tribe.

The border of the Luxi tribe was extremely long, even if there were 300,000 troops stationed there, it was still stretched, so after Gregory led 100,000 troops south to quell the rebellion, the two famous generals Roderick and Hall divided the long border into two layers for garrison.

Roderick and Hall, who were listed alongside Gregory as the three most famous generals of the Luxi tribe, were naturally not too weak in command, but the limited strength and complex composition of the border garrison made it more difficult for them to command.

Among the 300,000 border garrisons of the Luxi tribe, the truly elite 110,000 infantry and 40,000 cavalry were all Lucy's standing soldiers carefully selected by the tribal leader Viriacius, and the other 150,000 second-line soldiers were from various vassal tribes of the Luxi tribe.

Roderick and Hall did not trust these 150,000 soldiers who were in the name of second-tier warriors but were actually vassal tribal alliances, because they did not believe that these 150,000 second-tier soldiers could burst out on the battlefield with the same combat effectiveness as Lucy's warriors.

In view of this, in order to give full play to the value of the 150,000 second-line soldiers, Roderick and Hall took it upon themselves to divide the 300,000-strong army into two parts, each leading the 150,000-strong army, one leading the army to advance several miles across the border, and the other leading the army to retreat several miles back.

Hall, who commanded 100,000 second-line soldiers and 50,000 Lucy soldiers, led his army across the border and into the territory of the Eastern Alliance several miles out of the precautionary consideration, with the aim of preventing the Eastern Alliance from launching a possible attack on the Lusi tribe.

Roderick, who commanded 50,000 second-line soldiers and 60,000 Lucy soldiers, as well as 40,000 Lucy cavalry, led his army to retreat several miles to the rear, on the one hand, to create a buffer against the possibility of war, and on the other hand, to form an echo with the Hall army that had entered enemy territory.

The old feud between the Eastern Alliance and the Luxi tribe determined that it was impossible for them to relax their vigilance against each other, so the situation of the Luxi tribe could not be concealed from the spies of the Eastern Alliance, and the anomalies of the Eastern Alliance could not escape the spies of the Luxi tribe.

How could the Eastern Alliance, with a total population of only 1.5 million on the east and west shores, suddenly assemble a huge army of 700,000 without being known to the Lucian tribe? Before Viriacius received a report from the front, Roderick and Hall were already preparing for war.

This is the difference between famous generals and ordinary generals, ordinary generals will only passively accept orders, and even only qualified generals can truly carry out military orders; while famous generals are different, they have a strong sense of autonomy, and they will always take precautions to do something.

Roderick and Hall's advance preparations disappointed the hopes of the four leaders of the Eastern Alliance, who wanted to take the border garrison of the Luxi tribe by surprise, and after learning that the 150,000 troops of the Luxi tribe had entered their territory, the four leaders of the Eastern Alliance immediately divided their troops.

After the division of troops, the Eastern Alliance army has the strongest main army, with 50,000 elite warriors of the Dat tribe, one of the four overlord tribes within it, as the core, supplemented by 20,000 elite warriors from other tribes and 180,000 cannon fodder, and the front is directly aimed at Hall's 150,000 army!

At the beginning, the son of Mullen led his army across the Cangluo River and wanted to expand the power of the Eastern Alliance to the south bank of the Cangluo River, but he was defeated and killed by the Roman army of Baifeng.

From this point of view, there was a deep grudge between the city of Rome and the tribe of Dart, and if it were not for the existence of the Cangluo River, perhaps the war between the city of Rome and the Eastern Alliance would have broken out long ago, and it would not have waited until today.

Although the city of Rome has a grudge against the Dart tribe, the strength of the Dart tribe is still recognized by Bai Feng, whether it is the strength of the tribal warriors themselves or the weapons and equipment of the tribal warriors, the Dart tribe can be called the strongest tribe among the four overlord tribes of the Eastern Alliance.

The powerful Dart tribe attacked with all their might, and the effect was naturally extraordinary; Malen personally led an army of 250,000 composed of 70,000 elite soldiers and 180,000 cannon fodder, and attacked Hall's 150,000 army, leaving no time for Hall to react.

Hall, who has 150,000 soldiers under his command, although the number of elites is indeed 20,000 less than that of Ma Lun, the combat effectiveness of the 100,000 second-line soldiers under his command is more than a step stronger than the combat power of the 180,000 cannon fodder under Ma Lun's command!

As soon as the vigorous battle between the two armies began, Hall, who was properly commanded, used the second-line soldiers under his command who had more superior combat power to chase and fight fiercely against the cannon fodder troops under the command of Mullen, and there was quite a momentum that would not give up until the cannon fodder troops of the enemy army were defeated.

Seeing that the cannon fodder troops under his command were losing and retreating, it was difficult to organize effective resistance and counterattacks, and he was as hard-hearted as he was iron, so he temporarily formed a team of overseers with his own soldiers on the spot.

More than 1,000 soldiers of the Overseer Army, each of 50 men, used their swords and spears to block the retreat of the cannon fodder troops;

In the next half hour, the fierce overseer team used the method of killing more than 3,000 retreating old and weak women and children with their own hands, and forcibly drove the cannon fodder troops on the verge of collapse back to the battlefield;

First with 50,000 elites to fight the enemy's 70,000 elites, then with 100,000 second-line soldiers to defeat the enemy's 180,000 cannon fodder, and finally with the freed second-line soldiers to flank the enemy's elite troops caught in the struggle; this is the layout of Lucy's famous general Hall, who tried to defeat the 250,000 enemy troops in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, Mullen, who is extremely experienced in the battlefield, is not to be taken lightly, his decisiveness and iron will are beyond Hall's imagination, and the Overseers, who are stained with the blood of their compatriots, use the most cruel and ruthless way to force their nearly collapsed cannon fodder troops back into the battlefield.

The second-line infantry under Hall's command, which was composed entirely of young and strong vassal tribal warriors, was indeed stronger in overall combat effectiveness than the cannon fodder unit under the command of Mullen, which was composed of old and weak women and children, but the combat effectiveness between the two armies was far from reaching the point of disparity.

On the one hand, it is because the warriors of the vassal tribes in the western part of the Lu tribe have limited combat power, and on the other hand, because the cannon fodder troops of the Eastern Alliance are also composed of barbarian people, and their combat effectiveness is still there;

At this time, four full hours had passed since the battle between the Lucy army and the Eastern Alliance army, and more than 20,000 of the 150,000 Lucy soldiers who had entered the battle had been killed, and the 250,000 troops of the Eastern Alliance were less than 200,000.

The frantic fight of life and death makes the red-eyed barbarian warriors have no time to care about anything else, they only know that they desperately use their weapons to kill the enemy in front of them to avoid being killed by the enemy, in order to survive, this is the inevitable choice of all the soldiers participating in the battle.
