In the army of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, there are three main types of henchmen and generals under Bai Feng's command: the first is the ordinary officers in the original army who Bai Feng personally raised, such as Bonella, Carol, Darren and other generals who are now the division commander and deputy general of the legion.

Borg, Walder, and other Imperial Academy students who entered the Imperial Army with Bai Feng, and the leaders of the Rogue Gang who were incorporated into the Imperial Army by Bai Feng halfway, such as Bartloli and Boni, were all barely considered such generals, because their original identities were all middle- and low-level officers.

The second type is the generals in the army that Bai Feng gradually subdued, such as D'Ambrosio, López and other generals; Duke Rundstede's order is important, but if there is no Bai Feng's strength to show, how can the arrogant iron-blooded five tiger generals be willing to surrender to Bai Feng?

The five generals of the Fire Legion, such as Rodriguez, were nominally imperial generals loyal to Charlemagne, but they had secretly sworn allegiance to Bai Feng; even so, Bai Feng still did not regard them as confidants when their loyalty was difficult to guarantee.

The third type is the self-grown system generals under Bai Feng, such as Atasis, Athos, and Upadama from the Parthian archers, Aetius from the Roman Youth Army, and Capitus from the Spartan heavy infantry, all of which are self-grown generals.

Whether it is the cutting-edge generals raised by Bai Feng himself, or the veteran generals in the army that Bai Feng gradually subdued, they cannot be compared with the unswerving system generals in terms of loyalty, but the limited number of system generals forces Bai Feng to cultivate more henchmen and generals.

The newly formed Lance Legion was a phalanx corps with a completely different composition and combat methods from the Imperial Standing Legion, which meant that all the imperial generals who did not even know what the Macedonian phalanx was, were not qualified for the post of corps commander.

Why among the three phalanx legions in Rome, the Cheetah Legion and the Flying Leopard Legion, which were formed earlier than the Spartan Legion, were far less powerful in combat than the Spartan Legion;

The commander of the Cheetah Legion, Gatus, and the commander of the Flying Leopard Legion, Simpson, are both barbarian generals, so they naturally have no research on the Macedonian phalanx;

Leonidas, the commander of the Spartan Legion, was born as a centurion of the Spartan heavy infantry, and the Spartan heavy infantry was the strongest phalanx pikeman, and there was no one, so Leonidas's mastery of the opposing array was beyond doubt.

Leonidas, who knew the Macedonian phalanx well, and the Spartan legion brought out by his own hands was in no way inferior in combat power to the real Macedonian phalanx legion, and such an ability was not something that barbarian generals and imperial generals could have.

In view of this, Bai Feng was still inclined to let Cabitus, who was also a centurion of the Spartan heavy infantry, serve as the commander of the Lance Legion, but at this time, Cabitus still stayed in the eastern part of the empire as the commander of the Second Eastern Legion.

If Bai Feng wants to summon Cabitus to Besançon Province and serve as the commander of the Lance Legion, then Bai Feng will have to arrange for a trustworthy confidant general to take over the vacant position of the commander of the Second Eastern Legion.

After some careful consideration, there was really no better way to deal with Bai Feng of the Eight Banners of the Jurchen Tribe, and finally decided to appoint Cabitus as the commander of the Spear Legion, and as for the commander of the Second Eastern Legion, it was handed over to General Raichenu.

Like Leonardo, Reichenu was a veteran of the Seventh Wing, and his current position was the commander of the First Wing of the First Division of the Yulin Legion.

To a certain extent, the division commander of the Royal Legion is basically the same as the commander of the Standing Legion, and the senior wing commander is basically equal to the division commander of the Standing Legion, while the status of the Eastern Legion is obviously inferior to that of the Standing Legion, and at most it is slightly stronger than the City Defense Army.

At the same time as appointing Reichenu as the commander of the Second Eastern Legion, Bai Feng also issued another order to the Eastern Legion, and the commander of the First Eastern Legion, Aetius, was appointed by Bai Feng as the supreme commander of the Eastern Legion, responsible for the day-to-day affairs of the five Eastern Legions.

As the only systematic general in the Eastern Legion, Aetius, who was born as a centurion of the Roman Youth Army, was indeed a typical Roman-style general; the so-called Roman-style general, that is, a general who put politics above military affairs and liked to use political means to deal with military affairs.

This kind of general is especially good at handling the coordination relationship between multiple legions, commanding only five Eastern legions with a full number of 10,000 people, it is not difficult for Aetius to be in charge of the five Eastern legions, and Bai Feng himself is also at ease.

As soon as Bai Feng's appointment was issued, Raichenu left the barracks of the Yulin Legion and headed south for the eastern part of the empire with his new mission, while the letters of appointment from Capitus and Aetius would take at least a few days to reach them.

In other words, it was impossible for Cabitus to rush from the eastern part of the empire to Besançon to take up his post before the end of March, and the Lance Legion, which had almost been formed, was temporarily handed over by Bai Feng to Wink for training, and then handed over to him when Cabitus arrived.

After handling the affairs of the Spear Legion, the five standing legions, which were in the process of intensifying training, became the target of Bai Feng's attention; the newly formed Spear Legion would be difficult to form combat effectiveness in the short term without the special assistance of the Roman City Military Camp and the shooting range.

When it came time to counterattack, the biggest role of the Lancer Legion was not to confront the fierce Eight Banners Cavalry head-on, but to provide an opportunity for the Spartan Legion to fight; in addition to the Spartan Legion as the main force, the main auxiliary force was the five standing legions.

It is impossible for the 100,000 Eight Banner cavalry stationed in Langxiang Province to appear in the same battlefield in one place; dispersing the strength of the Eight Banners cavalry before the decisive battle is also one of Bai Feng's set goals, and the specific task of luring the enemy is the five standing corps whose combat strength has grown rapidly.

A standing army with a full strength of 20,000 soldiers is definitely no match for any of the eight banners with a full strength of 20,000 cavalry, but if three standing regiments fight against one of the eight banners and delay time by fighting and retreating, it can still be done.

According to the preliminary plan negotiated by Bai Feng and his generals, the five standing legions and the Iron and Blood Guards will be organized into two feint attack forces, blocking the yellow flag and the positive red flag in the lower five banners respectively, and the remaining three flags will be handed over to Bai Feng's main army to solve.

The two strongest flags among the lower five flags are the yellow flag of Nurhachi's second brother Shuerhaqi and the red flag of Nurhachi's third brother Murhaqi.

With seven troops, including the Spartan Legion, the Spear Legion, the Feather Forest Legion, the Fire Legion, the Wind Legion, the Pro-Soldier Guard, and the Death Battalion, the 200,000 elite army faced off against the 60,000 weakest Eight Banner Cavalry, Bai Feng was still very sure in his heart.
