People mistakenly lament the passage of time, blame the passage of time too quickly, and do not think that time is abundant, and nature gives us good memories so that everything lasts longer than it actually exists. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The place where Bai Feng personally sat was the front of the entire central army, that is, directly in front of the First Army of Licinius, and the soldiers of the Doge's Guard were lined up in front of the First Army, they were the front line of the Roman coalition army.

The 12 teams of the 1st Legion of the Roman Youth Army were originally lined up in two rows to meet the enemy in units of 100 people, but after discovering that the enemy army was advancing forward with a skirmish front without any formation, Bai Feng asked Licinius to adjust the formation of the young army soldiers to meet the enemy.

In order to strengthen the defensive range of the forward shield wall, the four battle formations that should normally be lined up in a row of forty people were replaced by three battle formations, so that the shield wall of each youth army was extended by a part.

Behind this long shield wall were 4,000 barbarian warriors of the First Legion, holding shields in their left hands and swords in their right hands, and they were also in relatively neat formations to meet the enemy, and once the shield wall in front was breached, they would rush out to fight the enemy.

On the left and right flanks of the First Legion were Bazel's Tigers and Gatus's Cheetah Legion, and this time Bazel placed the Tigers' elite fighters at the forefront of the battle formation to suppress the enemy's attack when the battle broke out.

The Cheetah Legion was facing the enemy in its full form for the first time, and the 3,000 soldiers they had just replenished had not had time to change to better weapons and equipment, and the blacksmiths in Rome would not have to produce enough weapons and equipment for them next month.

In this way, the 6,000 veterans of the Cheetah Legion were in stark contrast to the 3,000 new soldiers, and the 4,000 pikemen, who were fully supplemented among the 6,000 veterans, were at the front of the battle formation in a standard phalanx of pikemen, and they were arranged in four columns of 1,000 men.

In the left rear of the forest of four thousand spears were a thousand archers with bows and arrows, in the right rear were a thousand elite warriors with square shields and short swords, and the three thousand new warriors who still wielded round-shielded swords were all attached to the unprotected right flank of the pikemen.

The defense of the pikemen phalanx is very impressive, but the weakness of its flanks is also obvious, and the entire Cheetah Legion of Gatus is deployed on the right flank of the First Legion, which means that the left flank of the Cheetah Legion is protected by the First Legion, but the right flank is completely empty.

In order to prevent the pikemen phalanx at the front from being broken by the enemy from the empty right flank, Gattuste intended to deploy all the 3,000 new soldiers suitable for field warfare on the right flank of the pikeman phalanx to protect the pikemen phalanx from being disrupted by the enemy's attack.

No matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the army of the Eastern Alliance is, no matter how large the number is, it is impossible to break through the inherent limitations of the barbarian army and quickly break through the defense line of the Roman army.

Compared with the well-organized and tacit coordination of the main central army, the left army commanded by Eggers and the right army commanded by Camilios were much worse; whether it was the army of the Tasya tribal alliance or the Eagle Legion that had just joined the city of Rome, they were much worse in terms of organizational structure than the three central legions, not to mention the gap in weapons and equipment.

The main central army's defensive line, which had been extended a lot by Bai Feng, was almost as long as the attacking enemy, and the army under the command of Eggers and Gamelios did not have to worry about their army being attacked by the enemy in the first round.

Bai Feng just sat on his horse and watched the dense soldiers of the enemy army keep pushing forward, until the distance between the two sides was less than three hundred meters, Bai Feng could even see the struggling on the faces of the gray-suited soldiers at the front of the enemy army.

At this time, Bai Feng could already rely on his own experience to estimate the approximate number of enemy troops, and sure enough, as reported by the Parthian archers, the total number of enemy troops in front of him was about 50,000, of which the number of soldiers in black uniforms was 40,000.

Not surprisingly, the 10,000 gray-suited warriors at the forefront must be the slave troops of the Eastern Alliance's southern invasion army, and whether or not they have the opportunity to become warriors on the side of Rome in the future, everyone can only fight desperately for each other's goals.

However, judging from the distribution of the enemy's battles, Bai Feng can also roughly see some clues, the 30,000 southern bank tribal warriors who were captured by the southern invasion enemy army have definitely not really succumbed to them, otherwise there could not be only 10,000 gray-armed troops among the 50,000 troops who went out to fight.

It seems that the Southern Invasion Army of the Eastern Alliance on the south bank of the Cangluo River has made the army of less than 60,000 soldiers swell more and more, and they dare to take 10,000 unstable captives to the battlefield even though they know that the strength of the Tasya Tribal Alliance is not weak.

In any case, the victory of this war in Rome City is determined to win, seeing that the enemy's pace of advance is getting faster and faster, Bai Feng also turned his horse and rode his horse to run in front of the main army in the center, and then used his spiritual power to encourage all the soldiers in a loud voice:

"Men of Rome, the enemy forces before us are approaching, and you are about to fight with them in the land where you were born and raised, and I know that many of you are afraid in your hearts, and it does not matter.

The enemy army in front of us is the army of the Eastern Alliance on the north bank of the Cangluo River, as long as it is the tribe they conquer, all the warriors and young will become their cannon fodder, and the old and weak, women and children will be reduced to slavery.

Look at the homeland behind you, think of your parents, wives and families, are you willing to have your homes destroyed and your families enslaved? Are you willing to use your blood and sweat to reclaim the land and become a battlefield where the enemy is raging?

Hold high the swords and guns in your hands, and let us use our strength to tell those enemies who want to destroy our homeland whether their plot will succeed or not!

"Fight to the death, fight to the end, fight to the end......" The brutal rule of the Eastern Alliance had long been told to these soldiers by the commanders of the various legions, and they raised their swords one after another under the encouragement of Bai Feng, shouting the slogan of 'Fight to the death' while frantically beating their shields with the back of their swords.

After the 25,000 troops who served as the main force of the central government were mobilized by Bai Feng to raise their fighting spirits, Bai Feng turned to Antio on the side and ordered: "Antio, after the enemy army approaches within fifty meters, you personally lead the governor's guard to attack on all fronts immediately!"

After finishing speaking, Bai Feng took his four retinues and Webster and Adrien slowly rode back to the rear of the First Legion from the passage connecting the First Legion and the Tiger Legion, and it was not yet the time for the battlefield ghost Adrion to enter the battle.
