After all, Bai Feng didn't plan to say more about the factional dispute, after the generals who behaved the most out of line just now took the initiative to admit their mistakes, this matter ended here, and tonight's meeting still had to continue.

"General Eggers, General Bronno, your advice is very reasonable. Bai Feng, who returned to the topic, first affirmed the suggestions of the two corps commanders, and then said bluntly:

"But there is only one solution that we can adopt in the end, and whose advice we adopt is determined by the actual situation of our Roman army, and not by the subjective consciousness of any one of us. ”

Having said this, Bai Feng gently knocked the handsome case in front of him a few times with his right hand, pausing slightly; in the eyes of the generals in the military tent, Bai Feng was thinking about a choice, but in fact, Bai Feng was consulting the battle statistics report during the day.

"In today's battle, although we annihilated more than 100,000 enemy troops at the cost of our own 30,000 soldiers, our actual victory was far from as brilliant as everyone imagined, and there were not many troops that we could continue to fight.

General Joshuaer's Esini Corps, with more than 50 percent of its men killed, had completely lost the ability to continue fighting, and the two corps of General Gamilios and General Gatus suffered heavy casualties, but they barely managed to preserve the main force.

Unfortunately, the Tassia and Cheetah Legions were not mature enough to attack the Macedonian phalanx, and their achievements in defending in place did not mean that they could also achieve such results by attacking actively.

Considering their actual casualties, the Aceni Legion, the Tasia Legion, and the Cheetah Legion may not be able to continue the battle for a short time, and only four legions are left in our Roman city that can actually be put into battle.

The First Legion suffered the lightest losses in this battle, and was almost at full strength, while the casualties of the Tiger Legion, the Eagle Legion, and the Dragon Legion did not exceed 5,000, and the number of soldiers who could be used to pursue Francis's army exceeded 10,000.

When the battle is full, we have about 45,000 soldiers in our four main armies, but our enemy, Francis, has a full 150,000 troops, do you think we can win?"

With Bai Feng's last question, there was even more silence in the already silent military tent, especially the generals who were clamoring to pursue Francis with all their might just now, their faces couldn't help but turn red.

Bronno, who was standing on the left side of the military tent, seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and even Bronno, who was the first to put forward the idea of pursuit, stopped talking, and the other generals naturally couldn't say anything more.

"However, allowing Francis to return to the hinterland of the Aceni Kingdom to regain his strength is not what we want to see, so I still decided to pursue Francis, but not now, but in a month!"

"Governor, what do you mean ......"

From Bai Feng's words, the generals in the military tent thought that he was going to give up the pursuit of Francis, but they didn't expect Bai Feng to say the decision to insist on the pursuit in the next second;

"What I mean is very simple, it is not possible to let Francis return to the rear to regain strength, and the most important reason why we were able to defeat Francis this time was to take advantage of Francis's underestimation mentality.

Will Francis make the same mistake when he is ready to make it again? In order to avoid dealing with a stronger Francis in the future, we must strangle him before he grows.

However, our own strength is still insufficient, and this is the key to our inability to pursue Francis in time, and if we are not strong enough, we can accumulate strength, I will give you a month, and in a month we will gather a large army to attack Francis!"

"Yes!" all the generals in the tent responded in unison.

"Okay, since the generals don't have any opinions, then I will give the order: General Joshuaer, your Aceni Legion will return to the Aceni Tribe camp early tomorrow morning, and within a month you need to restore the Aceni Legion to full strength!"

"Yes!" Joshuel, who was a general under Queen Boudicca, obeyed Bai Feng's order without hesitation.

"General Gamilios, General Gatus, the task of the two of you is to restore the Tasya Legion and the Cheetah Legion according to the original division of troops, and I will transfer all the additional troops to you within ten days!"

"Yes!" Gamilios and Gatus replied in unison.

"General Eggers, General Bronno, and General Bazel, the three of you will clean up the battlefield tomorrow, and then I will replenish you with the forces you need within ten days, and you must restore the combat effectiveness of your respective legions as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Eggers and the other three generals also responded in unison.

"General Licinius and General Antio, you will return to Rome with me early tomorrow morning with twelve detachments of Roman youth and the Doge's Guard, and General Peris, you are still stationed in the camp here with 10,000 longbowmen, waiting for the next expedition of our army!"

"Yes!" Licinius and the other three generals responded with the most firm voices!

After all the orders were given, Bai Feng asked the generals to go down and prepare, except for Licinius, Antio, Perus and other three generals left Bai Feng, they were all system generals of Rome City, and they were also Bai Feng's most trusted generals.

"Of the 20,000 soldiers lost by our army in Rome this time, I plan to draw 5,000 soldiers from each of the five Tuntian legions to reinforce and replenish them, in this way, there will be a surplus of 5,000 soldiers, how do you think these 5,000 soldiers should be arranged?"

"Governor, I don't think the warriors of the Five Thousand Tuntian Legion can play a big role on the battlefield, and it is better to integrate them all into General Perris's longbowmen's troops, for they are certainly more valuable than ordinary warriors with their fighting power. ”

"Governor, however, I don't think it makes much sense to put all these five thousand warriors into the longbowmen's troops, and after losing the geographical advantage of the quagmire, too many longbowmen will not be able to exert too much combat effectiveness, and it is better to act as a covering force for the longbowmen. ”

In the face of Bai Feng's inquiry, Licinius suggested that all the more than 5,000 warriors be incorporated into Peris's longbowmen, but Peris himself raised an objection.

"You two have a point, then make all these five thousand soldiers into longbowmen, but not under the command of Perris, and don't the other legion commanders want longbowmen? ”
