In order to ensure the absolute safety of Queen Boudicca, Simpson was also sent to lead 500 cavalry of the Governor's Guard to protect Queen Boudicca's safety.

The reason why Bai Feng sent Simpson to lead 500 cavalry to protect Queen Boudicca was mainly because of Simpson's special status, he was originally a general from the Aceni tribe, so that Queen Boudicca could be more acceptable.

In fact, Bai Feng thought too much, Queen Boudicca only smiled slightly red after learning that Bai Feng had sent Simpson to lead the cavalry to protect her, and accepted it calmly without saying any excuses.

She didn't think too much as Bai Feng thought, and she didn't mistakenly think that this was Bai Feng's actions to spy on her, perhaps, in Queen Boudicca's thoughts, this was just a way for Bai Feng to deliberately protect her, and this was indeed the case.

However, Bai Feng's protection of Queen Boudicca is not mixed with any male and female affection, but purely out of the need for the control of the Aceni tribe in the city of Rome, what if the Aceni tribe has a hidden follower of Francis? Bai Feng can only protect her as much as possible.

Compared with the affairs of the Aceni tribe and the safety of Queen Boudicca, Bai Feng was more concerned about the upcoming Armageddon, and the torrential rain east of the Aceni tribe's camp also affected the camp of the Aceni tribe, causing Bai Feng's army to also fall into the mud.

Fortunately, Bai Feng's army arrived on the battlefield in advance, and they themselves were on the defensive side, and since entering the muddy road section with heavy rain, Bai Feng could feel that the marching speed of the entire army had dropped a lot, and the cavalry was no exception.

This can be regarded as good news for Bai Feng, at least it proves that the existence of this rainstorm is still very valuable, so Bai Feng let all the soldiers of the seven legions be stationed outside the rainstorm on the spot, and he personally took the legion commanders to survey the battlefield.

The area where the Aceni tribal camp is located is not a pure plain, the slightly undulating terrain allows for more rainfall, and the ground on some of the scattered hills is noticeably harder than the low-lying ground.

Bai Feng led the commanders of each legion to a small hill at the highest point, looked at the still heavy rain on the earth below, and asked General Eggers behind him meaningfully:

"General Eggers, with what you know of Francis, do you think he will continue his march after entering the Tempest? ”

"Governor, as far as I know Francis, he is a man who never gives up until the last step, and such a rain is only a normal thing for him on the way, and he will not stop his army at all, nor disrupt his plans for the march. ”

"Well, as long as Francis's army enters this quagmire in the torrential rain, we will have won more than half of this war, and the remaining half will depend on you generals!"

After getting the answer he wanted from Eggers's mouth, Bai Feng's mood also rose a little, and there was a strong confidence in his words; the other generals didn't take Bai Feng's words, and obviously didn't believe what Bai Feng said!

Whether these generals believed it or not, Bai Feng didn't intend to explain anything, because soon they would be the first-hand witnesses of this war, and the longbowmen of the city of Rome would also become famous in this battle!

"General Licinius, your First Legion and 10,000 longbowmen will be deployed on this hill when the time comes. After staying on this small hill silently for more than ten minutes, Bai Feng suddenly gave this order to Licinius behind him in a serious tone.

"Yes!" Licinius still didn't ask why, as always, and accepted Bai Feng's order like this.

"General Gamilios, General Gatus. After giving the order to Licinius, Bai Feng raised his right hand and pointed to the flat ground five hundred meters to the right of the small hill, and continued to order to Gamilios and Gatus behind him:

"When the decisive battle begins, the two of you will lead your respective legions to set up positions five hundred meters in front of the Macedonian phalanx, and I want your phalanx of super-long spears to block the attack of the enemy's frontal army to the death, and not let the enemy have any chance to break through the phalanx.

Remember, your task is to fend off the enemy's attack, even if you have a chance to counterattack, or if the enemy's attack is routed by you, you should not take any form of counter-attack, your most important thing is to make sure that the phalanx is not chaotic!"

"Yes!" this time Gamilios and Gatus did not take the oath in the council chamber, but accepted the order given by Bai Feng in an unwavering voice, this is the real barbarian warrior, and the oath only needs to be remembered once for a lifetime.

"General Bazel, General Eggers, General Bronno. As soon as the order to Gamilios and his son was given, Bai Feng pointed to another small hill that was not high in the distance, and ordered to the three remaining generals of the city of Rome:

"Do you see the hill two miles ahead, the task of your three commanders is to build a solid defensive formation on that hill, and I believe that with the 45,000 men of your three legions, the enemy's left flank will not be able to defeat you.

And the task I have given you is to completely defeat the enemy's left flank army that has taken the initiative to attack you in one go, and once you have defeated the enemy's left flank, do not pursue their routs too much, and immediately lead your army to reinforce the front army.

I need you to attack the main enemy forces attacking the Cheetah Legion and the Tassia Legion on the right flank, as long as you can complete this task, the victory of this war is ours, and whether Francis can escape back or not depends on our mood!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" the three generals who had been forced to join the city of Rome promised Bai Feng their attitude in unison.

After giving all the orders, Bai Feng turned to look at the generals who accompanied him to survey the terrain in the rain, looking at their firm expressions under the rain, Bai Feng felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and then smiled and said frankly to them:

"Generals, we in the city of Rome have loyal generals and guardians like you, and countless warriors under your command who are not afraid of death, how can even the most powerful enemy not fall under the sword of our army?"

"Swear allegiance to the Governor, swear allegiance to the city of Rome!" Bai Feng gave these generals the most affirmative recognition, and they also reported Bai Feng's strongest loyalty, the sky was still raining heavily, but the strong friendship between kings and ministers permeated everyone's hearts.

On the way back to the barracks, General Joshuel of the Aceni Legion took the initiative to find Bai Feng and asked them what the mission of the Aceni Legion was, and Bai Feng smiled and asked him to lead the Essini Legion to follow him and act as a firefighting team for the three-way army.
