For a boy, there is a subconscious sense of exclusive possessiveness towards his mother, and anyone, including his father, will develop hatred and even want to kill them as soon as they pose a threat to him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The boring life of the fortress always passed quickly, seven or eight days in the blink of an eye, and seven or eight days had passed since the night when the battle group was formed, and the three main forces and reserve forces of the battle group had all returned to full strength.

Even the 39th and 40th Legions, which were defending the fortress next door, were restored to a near-full state with the addition of reinforcements from the city defense army one after another, and the Agni Legion, which was stationed at the fourth main fortress, received two batches of reinforcements from the Imperial Military Headquarters.

Compared to the intense strength of the Imperial defenders defending Sunset Fortress, the orc army outside the fortress was much more strange, and they did not move for several days, which made the Imperial generals defending the fortress smell a strong sense of conspiracy.

Even so, it was unlikely that the Imperial generals on the defensive would launch a tentative counterattack against the orc army, because after so many days of fighting, the orc army outside the fortress was still as high as 1.4 million, while the Imperial army was only about 500,000.

Among the 500,000 imperial army that was fully calculated, there were more than 100,000 city defense troops and military reserve officers with low combat effectiveness who had just arrived at Sunset Fortress, and there were definitely no more than 200,000 elite divisions that could really fight with the orc army, including Bai Feng's 30,000 army.

Due to the huge disparity in military strength, the unwilling imperial generals could only reluctantly retreat in the Sunset Fortress, relying on the strong fortress and tall city walls, waiting for the orc army outside the fortress to take the initiative to launch a new round of crazy attacks.

Bai Feng, who rarely fights passive defensive battles, is naturally not willing to let the 30,000 elite divisions under his command be wasted in the fortress, but taking the initiative to attack is a very risky thing, and the slightest carelessness will pay a heavy price.

None of Ranocchia's Iron Guards and López's Assault Wing, nor Borg's reserve troops, had enough horses to form a specialized cavalry unit, and only Bai Feng's Seventh Wing had a cavalry brigade from the Fortieth Legion.

As the captain of the cavalry brigade, Cabaye has not taken the initiative to lead the cavalry brigade out of the fortress to reconnoiter these days, and without exception, his initiative to ask for battle has been rejected by Bai Feng without hesitation, and there is no room for any delay.

It's not that Bai Feng doesn't want Cabaye to lead the cavalry brigade out to reconnoitre, but Bai Feng can't let Cabaye and the cavalry brigade take this big risk;

Being able to command the cavalry of the Eight Princes' henchmen in a grand manner is nothing to Bai Feng of the Bai family, who is in full swing, if Bai Feng really lets this cavalry force be damaged in his own hands, I am afraid that the Eighth Prince's heart will be dissatisfied with Bai Feng and even the Bai family.

Although the Bai family and the Eighth Prince were equal allies, the help given by the Eight Princes to the Bai Family was still very beneficial to the development of the Bai family, and based on this exchange of benefits that outweighed the gains, Bai Feng did not want to destroy the alliance between the Bai family and the Eighth Prince.

Even if Bai Feng knew that it was impossible for the Eighth Prince to be separated from the Bai family because of the destruction of a cavalry brigade, he was unwilling to plant a seed of distrust with his own hands; in desperation, Bai Feng finally decided to go back to Rome again!

The fierce Seleucid ironclad cavalry and the Macedonian royal cavalry, their weapons and equipment are too dazzling, once they appear in the sunset fortress where the army is gathered, it will inevitably cause a lot of controversy, and may even alarm many of the top dignitaries of the imperial capital.

Don't think that Sunset Fortress is far away from the Imperial Capital, and those top magnates in the Imperial Capital don't know about Sunset Fortress, and the pervasive Imperial Intelligence Organization and the secret agents planted in the army by various families will send everything about Sunset Fortress back to the Imperial Capital.

After casually finding an excuse to leave the fortress with Bai Yi and Bai Er, Bai Feng found a secluded place, and after making sure that there was no one nearby, he began to activate the teleportation array in the Bai Ling Ring;

Goto Keiji, who has been living in the shogunate hall since he was summoned, was appointed by Hakumine as the commander of the shogunate army, and the more than 10,000 shogunate soldiers in the military camp outside the city were all under the command of Goto Kiji, one of the Kuroda doubles!

In a weapons warehouse in the warehouse area, all the weapons and equipment that were enough to arm an army of 30,000 were taken away by Bai Feng, and these weapons and equipment were not barbarian weapons captured by the Roman army, but Roman youth army and Roman heavy infantry standard weapons forged from armor shops.

Back at Bai Feng in the Sunset Fortress, the Bai Ling Ring was filled with all kinds of weapons and equipment, followed by three teams of Parthian archers he brought back;

As for those weapons and equipment, they were used by Bai Feng to redress the battle group, and the weapons and equipment used by the officers and soldiers of the assault wing and reserve forces at this time were still shoddy and defective products made by the Imperial Military Department, and the weapons and equipment of the Iron Guards were not much better.

23,000 sets of standard weapons and equipment of the Roman Youth Army were issued by Bai Feng to the officers and men of the Iron Guard, Assault Wing, and Reserve Force, and 5,000 sets of standard weapons and equipment of the Roman heavy infantry were issued by Bai Feng to the soldiers of the Seventh Wing who still used the old weapons and equipment.

After completing this rotation, Bai Feng made minor adjustments to the establishment of the 7th Wing, and the 1st Reserve Brigade of Mirallas was officially renamed the 11th Brigade, and the 2nd Reserve Brigade of Biani was officially renamed the 12th Brigade.

Aetius's Fifth Brigade was replaced by 350 soldiers of the Pro-Guard plus 150 newly healed wounded soldiers, and the former Captain of the Pro-Guard Guard, Wan Yama, replaced Aetius as the new commander of the Fifth Brigade.

Four Roman youth teams and three Cretan archers, which had lost the number of the Fifth Brigade, were combined to form a new personal guard, led by Aetius, while three Parthian archers and Cabaye's cavalry brigade were also assigned to the personal guard.

After the adjustment, there were only 12 standard brigades left in the 7th Wing, all of which were equipped with the standard weapons and equipment of the Roman heavy infantry, while the Iron Guards of Ranocchia, the assault wing of López, and the reserve troops of Borg were all standard weapons and equipment of the Roman Youth Army.

The brand-new battle group has been improved by leaps and bounds in weapons and equipment, and then Bai Feng took advantage of the fact that the orc army did not attack, and asked the four Roman youth teams and the four veteran brigade officers of the seventh wing to teach the assault wing and the reserve troops new tactics.

Half of the officers in López's assault wing were transferred from the Seventh Wing, and Borg's reserve troops were the descendants of Bai Feng's own hands, and teaching them the new tactics with the three-column battle formation as the core was the proper meaning of the question.

Ranocchia's Iron Guards were elite troops formed by the Marquis of Rundstead himself, and they had their own way of fighting, and Bai Feng, who did not force them, only gave them 7,000 sets of standard weapons and equipment of the Roman Youth Army, and did not interfere with their drills and battle formations.

In the early morning of the second day when the whole army changed their clothes, the eastern sky had just revealed a hint of fish belly white, and the three teams of Parthian archers of the pro-guard army followed the passage of the fortress, passed through the seven iron gates of the fortress in turn, and went straight to the orc army camp outside the fortress!
