If you knock on the door with kindness, you will see that you will be willing to open the door.

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

Montgomery's Tempest Legion, in a sense, is not an elite division under Bai Feng's command, not even a legion with more combat experience;

The Tempest Legion, which was formed on the basis and backbone of the Tempest Thieves, had not experienced the bloody battle of Sunset Fortress or followed Bai Feng to participate in the battle to recapture the Eastern Provinces;

If the thieves' daily training and the operation of annexing other bands of thieves are also experience, then the Swift Thieves still have some actual combat experience, but unfortunately, these thieves who barely have some experience have long been exhausted in the previous civil strife.

Aside from the actual combat experience of the Legion, the Hurricane Legion has a big gap compared to other Legions in terms of weapons and equipment;

Prince William, the master of the Wind Thieves Group, after completely losing control of the Wind Thieves Group, the newly built Wind Legion is no longer his strength, and for Prince William, who does not belong to his own strength, how can he invest his precious resources?

The Prince of Pros, who is allied with the Bai family, although the Wind Legion has become his nominal force, he knows better than anyone what the actual situation is, and the Prince of Pros, who can't even control the Bai family and Bai Feng, can't have illusions about controlling the Wind Legion at all!

After Prince William and Prince Pross lost their minds about the Tempest Legion one after another, the only person who still had the ability to replenish weapons and equipment to the Tempest Legion was Bai Feng, and the crux of the question was, did White Summit replenish a limited number of new weapons and equipment for the Tempest Legion?

The army that followed Bai Feng from the east of the empire to the north of the empire included Bai Feng's lineage such as the Yulin Legion, the Iron Blood Guard, and the Pro-Soldier Guard, as well as Bai Feng's half-lineage such as the Fire Legion and the Death Battalion.

The reason why the Swift Wind Legion has never had the opportunity to change its outfit is because there are nine more standing legions under Bai Feng's command to grab weapons and equipment, and on the other hand, because Montgomery has never made any positive response to Bai Feng's wooing.

In essence, Bai Feng was a selfish and short-sighted person, how could he use the limited weapons and equipment in his hands on an army that was not loyal to him?

However, Montgomery, who was able to be hailed as the most talented wing captain in the Imperial Military Department in the past, Bai Feng believed that it was not for nothing; out of the importance of Montgomery's personal ability, Bai Feng still had confidence in the overall combat effectiveness of the Wind Legion.

The 14th, 16th, and 56th Legions, led by Quintus, were divided into two auxiliaries against the White Banner garrisoned by Quintus, and the total strength of this army was 70,000 when the 10,000 trained longbowmen under Quintus were added.

The 56th and 57th Legions, of which Ranocchia was the front-line commander, and the Predator Guards of Ranocchia's headquarters and the Tempest Legion, which reinforced the past, were responsible for dealing with the white-flagged army stationed in Pomerian Dams, with a total strength of 80,000.

With an army of 150,000 with a redress ratio of more than 80 percent, he could deal with the two white flags with a total strength of less than 35,000 troops, and even if the army of the two white flags was composed entirely of cavalry, Bai Feng was full of confidence in the army under his command and the two commanders of Quintus and Ranocchia.

Facts have proved that Bai Feng's confidence is not a fiction based on fantasy, but is based on facts, and the officers and men of the Standing Legion, who lack actual combat experience, have made up for it with good equipment and training, and their performance is still very satisfactory.

He personally commanded an army of 70,000 men to Quintus in Belfort County, and in only three hours led his army to the province of Longchamps on the north bank of the Xingyue River via the third bridge of the Xingyue River, and then his army advanced all the way to the east.

During the advance, Luis's 14th Legion was at the vanguard of the army, followed by 10,000 trained longbowmen under the command of Quintus and Moya's 56th Legion, and on the flanks was Di Maria's 16th Legion.

Because the march of 30,000 soldiers of the Chinese army was too spread, in order to ensure that the trained longbowmen, who were weak in close combat, would not be attacked by the enemy cavalry, the 16th Army was divided into men by Quintus, and they were three miles away from the left and right flanks of the Chinese army, acting as a large army on both wings.

The 10,000 men of the 16th Army on the left flank of the Chinese army were personally led by their commander, General Di Maria, and the 10,000 men of the 16th Army on the right flank of the Chinese army were led by their corps adjutant general Pereira.

After three days of marching eastward at a rate of sixty miles a day, Quintus's army entered Belfort County through the eastern side of Longchampshire, and as soon as it entered Belfortshire, the Fifth Wing of the Sixteenth Army Corps was attacked by the White Banner cavalry.

On the morning of the fourth day, a small assault force composed of 300 cavalry with white flags suddenly slaughtered out of the mountains and forests on the flank of the Fifth Wing; the 5th Wing, which was thin in rank, was caught off guard by the enemy's 300 cavalry, and more than 100 officers and men were killed on the spot.

Fortunately, the wing commander and group leader of the 16th Regiment were experienced officers, and after the 5th Wing was attacked, they very quickly reinforced the 5th Wing, and the rapid reinforcements of the 4th and 6th Wings directly scared away the attacking White Flag cavalry.

When Di Maria arrived at the Fifth Wing, all he saw was the Fifth Wing under his command that had been disrupted and more than 100 corpses on the ground, and the 300 White Flag cavalry who launched the attack only left six corpses, and the angry Di Maria scolded on the spot.

Di Maria, who had eaten a trench and grown wise, first sent someone to report the attack on the fifth wing to Quintus, and then ordered the five wings under his command to thicken the marching column and raise the marching realm to prevent the enemy from attacking again.

Only three hours later, in the afternoon, another assault force of 1,500 cavalry with the white flag attempted to attack Di Maria's Third Wing, and this time, the well-prepared Third Wing was not as stunned as the Fifth Wing.

At the moment when the 1,500 white-flaged cavalry appeared, the four battalions of the 3rd Wing, under the command of their respective captains, lined up their battle formations to meet the enemy; at the same time, the 1st Wing in front of the 3rd Wing and the 5th Wing in the rear also rushed to the rescue.

The first wave of the charge did not cut through the white flag of the 3rd Wing to attack the cavalry, and before it had time to withdraw, it was entangled by the 3rd Wing who was desperately counterattacking; you know, the 3rd Wing of the 16th Army Corps was a wing equipped with new weapons and equipment!

Two thousand soldiers of the Third Wing, dressed in Roman youth armor and armed with Roman shields, used simple shield walls and dense formations to entangle the enemy cavalry who wanted to take advantage of their mobility.
