Licinius, who is loyal to himself, is still so loyal, he and Antio, these two people have always been his most loyal warriors! Hearing what Licinius said closely after Eggers, Bai Feng's heart said that it was not moved but also false.

"You guys, you still forgot the biggest question! General Eggers, do you remember the purpose of our detour to the enemy's rear this morning?

Seeing that the generals in the military tent were all opposed, and even Gamilios seemed to be about to say two words of disapproval, Bai Feng hurriedly said such a thing to Eggers, hoping that Eggers could understand what he meant.

"I understand your intentions, Governor, and I understand what you are doing, but I still feel that it is too risky to do so. None of us can be sure that the information brought by those small tribes is accurate, and that's the crux of the matter.

Assuming their intelligence was accurate, only 10,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry were from the Eastern Alliance on the North Bank, and the other 20,000 were captured from the conquered tribes on the South Bank.

If their main army is annihilated, we may not be able to find an opportunity to rescue the families of the 20,000 captured soldiers, and if we fail to rescue their families, they will become our mortal enemies on the battlefield.

As you have seen today's battle governor, those gray-suited soldiers who were used as cannon fodder by the enemy did not dare to make any other moves on the battlefield, let alone defect, although their combat effectiveness and will to fight were not strong, but they were not to be underestimated in sufficient numbers.

Can our 20,000-strong army fight head-on with the enemy's 15,000 elite soldiers and 20,000 slave soldiers? Leaving aside for the time being whether we can win the war, even if we do, the price we have to pay is not something we can afford.

With the strong strength and momentum of the Eastern Alliance on the north bank of the Cangluo River, they will certainly reorganize a larger army to continue the southern invasion after learning of the failure of the southern invasion, and then we will need enough troops to stop the enemy's attack on the south bank of the Cangluo River.

Of course, the premise here is that our control of the enemy's intelligence is extremely accurate, and if the information provided to us by the small tribes is wrong or inaccurate, then this expedition will be a disaster for our Roman army. ”

The whole military tent was silent when Eggers said this, and even Bai Feng had to admit that his idea just now was indeed inconsiderate; Bai Feng, who had thought for a long time and was really powerless to refute, was about to give up his plan just now, but there was a sound of neighing of war horses outside the military tent, why was there a sound of neighing of war horses at this time? Everyone turned their eyes to Nelson.

Facing the inquiring eyes of everyone, including Bai Feng, Nelson laughed slightly embarrassed twice, and then explained:

"Today, when I decided to lead the army back with the enemy, I did not return to the battlefield with all the cavalry, but sent out the two teams of Roman light cavalry that you gave me to continue to reconnoiter the enemy's situation. ”

"Then go out and have a look, and ask them if they have any useful information, we are waiting for you here. After personally instructing Nelson to go out and have a look, Bai Feng also said to the generals present quite helplessly: "I hope our General Nelson can bring us a surprise." ”

Hearing Bai Feng's weak words, all the generals in the military tent shook their heads with a wry smile;

The neighing of the war horses outside the military tent quickly calmed down, and the atmosphere inside the military tent was also extremely dull, Bai Feng didn't want to speak, and the other generals also kept their own silence, everyone was thinking about how to deal with the next battle situation.

After a while, Nelson, who had gone out, came back, and he came back with a smile on his face and excitement overflowing; looking at Nelson's appearance, Bai Feng, who wanted to change the dull atmosphere in the military tent, also quipped:

"How is it that our General Nelson came back with a smile on his face, it couldn't have been those two groups of Roman light cavalry that brought you back a beautiful woman from the rear of the enemy's rear?

"Hahahaha......" Bai Feng's witty words also made the generals in the military tent laugh, and even Nelson himself blushed a little with shame, but he still didn't restrain the smile on his face, and came to the center of the military tent to report to Bai Fengyu:

"Governor, those two teams of Roman light cavalry really didn't bring me beautiful women back just now, but the things they brought back are much more useful than beautiful women!

"Oh, is it?" I didn't expect this Nelson to really surprise himself, Bai Feng, who was surprised, quickly sat up straight and asked Nelson: "Then what did they bring back, you should hurry up and talk about it!"

"So it was so, that the two Roman light cavalry, having received my orders, continued further north along our original marching route, and until they found an enemy barracks, they quietly left a troop of cavalry to carefully reconnoiter the barracks.

The other cavalry continued further north, and both cavalry received very important information, and the cavalry that remained in front found that the enemy did not have 35,000 troops in the camp at all, but only 25,000 soldiers.

Of these, 20,000 were still grey-clad slave warriors, and only 5,000 were black-clad enemy warriors, and as for the cavalry behind, their discovery was even more important, and after thirty miles further north they found the camp where the enemy was holding slaves.

The camp contained at least 150,000 old and weak women and children of the conquered tribes, and the enemy guards only about 1,000 black-armed cavalry. ”

"How is this possible?! The enemy army still has at least 10,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry, how can it be that there are only 5,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry left?

In the face of Bazel's sudden questioning, Nelson didn't know how to answer, after all, he himself was also incredulous when he learned this information, and the other generals in the military tent were full of doubts, only Bai Feng stood up and explained to Nelson:

"You don't need to say it, I'm sure General Nelson won't lie, and as for the two Roman hussars under his command, I have absolute faith in them. To determine the truth of this information, it is actually very simple. ”
