"Chapter 52: Final Deployment"

I don't have any opinion until I see with my own eyes what is going on there and know the truth of the matter.

After some consideration, Bai Feng decided to transfer Fury's own uncle, that is, Ames's brother-in-law Stark, to the death camp as Fury's lieutenant general;

From the secrets of the imperial capital to the Jurchen intelligence, Bai Feng owes Ames more than one or two favors, and handing over a mere death battalion that does not even have a regular legion to Ames's family can barely be regarded as repaying part of the favor for Bai Feng.

The three standing legions and three eastern legions stationed in the province of Lyon were handed over by White Peak to D'Ambrosio, the most prestigious of the Iron Tigers, and the three standing legions and two eastern legions of the army stationed in Toulon Province were handed over to Eric by White Peak.

With the identity of the Overseer, it is reasonable for Eric to command the 80,000 soldiers of these five legions, but Krefel and Barao, who are not convinced by Eric, will inevitably be a little uncomfortable, who will make them Eric's nominal subordinates?

In order to prevent any unpleasant incident between the two legion commanders, Krefel and Barao, with the Overseer of Eric in the province of Toulon, Bai Feng specially invited Krefel and Barao to spend the afternoon in the Doge's palace and talk with them about the relationship between the various armies during the garrison.

Krefel and Barao, who are not stupid people, could not understand the true purpose of Bai Feng's move, they had just completed the change of clothes of the whole army yesterday, and they were grateful and actively expressed their attitude to Bai Feng, willing to accept Eric's command, and no longer attach too much importance to the distinction between factions.

After sending off Krefel and Barao, in the evening, Bai Feng invited the Erik Overseer to the Governor's Palace;

After dealing with the affairs of Eric, Krefel, and Balao, the next thing Bai Feng had to do was to form a special garrison force, and there was no doubt that this special garrison force was formed for the military food warehouse and combat readiness warehouse outside Mengdan City.

The total strength of the 370,000 soldiers of the 21 regiments stationed in the three provinces of Mengdan, plus the Shenshu Battalion and the Guards Battalion of the Death Battalion and the Guards Battalion, has exceeded 400,000, and the food and grass required by the 400,000 army for a year is simply an astronomical amount!

Storing such a large amount of food and 200,000 sets of weapons and equipment together naturally requires a special garrison unit to be responsible for patrolling and protection; on the premise of not affecting the daily training of other regiments, the only option is to reorganize a new garrison unit.

It was not difficult to recall three to five thousand soldiers from the officers and men of the city defense army who had been disbanded on the spot to form a garrison force; the crux of the matter was who to choose to be the commander of this garrison force, which was the most reassuring thing for Bai Feng.

When thinking about the choice of the commander of the garrison, for some reason, Bai Feng remembered a person who made him remember it quite deeply: this mid-level officer of the Spear Regiment, because of his outstanding performance in the decisive battle of the D'Orville Gorge, Bai Feng remembered his name.

In the end, Claire, who participated in the decisive battle of the D'Orville Gorge as a squadron leader, was appointed by Bai Feng as the commander of the logistics garrison as the co-captain of the Lancer Regiment, and at the same time, the logistics garrison with a full strength of 3,000 soldiers was formally formed.

As time passed, the various standing legions that had completed the refitting one after another, under the command of their respective corps commanders, left the city of Mengtan and marched to their station, while the ten legions remaining in the province of Mengtan moved under the direct orders of Bai Feng.

Among them, the 74th Army of Barsarlomu was sent by Bai Feng to be stationed in County Anisi in the province of Montan, Felix's 77th Army was sent by Bai Feng to be stationed in County Chabeli in the province of Montaine, the 82nd Army of Leopold was sent by Bai Feng to be stationed in County Albertville in the province of Montaine, and the Troop of the Wind in Montgomery was sent by Bai Feng to be stationed in County Lebour, Province of Montan.

The 45th Army of Asasis and the 46th Army of Upadama, as well as the 47th Army of Athos, remained in the county of Mengdan, where the capital of the province was located, and all the remaining troops were led by Bai Feng himself and led to the front.

The pikes of Cabitus, the Predators of Ranocchia, the cavalry of Donald, the death battalion of Fury, and the personal guards of White Peaks are the five elite divisions that are located at the junction of the province of Montan and the fortress of the sunset.

This is a not vast plain, on the north and south sides are the Sunset Mountains full of demonic beasts, ten miles ahead is the Sunset Fortress occupied by the orc army, and ten miles back is the Anisi County of Mengdan Province; geographically speaking, this is the only way for the orc army to advance westward.

The purpose of Bai Feng's move was self-evident in blocking the 100,000 male lions under his command on the way westward of the orc army, and with Bai Feng's personal supervision and the full support of the Sophia Chamber of Commerce, four fortress-type octagonal diamond-shaped super military camps rose from the ground.

It is almost impossible to build a military fortress comparable to a sunset fortress in just a few months or a year or two, and the so-called fortress barracks are actually just replacing the wooden fences of ordinary barracks with stronger bluestone walls.

This kind of barracks wall, which is not much different from the city wall, except that it is only six meters in height, has a fifteen-meter arrow tower that can accommodate ten archers every 100 meters, and a ten-meter corner tower that can accommodate fifty archers and a ballista every 500 meters.

Of course, what really frightens people is the eight giant round towers of each barracks located at eight water chestnuts and the eight huge square towers of the four camp gates, which can accommodate a staggering two hundred archers on the square towers of no more than ten meters high!

Eight giant round towers, eight giant square towers, thirty-two corner towers, and two hundred arrow towers, like a hedgehog's dense defense, were enough to ensure that each military camp could withstand a frontal onslaught of an army of 100,000 orcs for a month.

If the four military camps that support each other can form a tacit understanding to cooperate in combat, then even if an army of millions of orcs attacks, Bai Feng is confident that he will be able to hold them back here for half a year! The reason why a fortress is a fortress is not something to be said casually.

Compared to the Imperial army, which was extremely lacking in attack power, Bai Feng's army was undoubtedly much stronger in terms of long-range attack power, especially since Bai Feng had also strengthened the four military camps with twenty-four teams of forty-eight ballistae, with an average of six teams of twelve ballistae per barracks.

Because ballistas can be placed in the corner towers, giant round towers, and giant square towers of the barracks, each barracks can theoretically place up to forty-eight ballistas;

How to use the existing weapons and equipment manufacturing advantages in his hands to create non-systematic heavy far superior weapons has become a major event before Bai Feng returns to Rome City; unfortunately, in the history of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, there has never been a special weapon like a crossbow!
