"Chapter 40: Deliberation on Military Affairs"
God loves to do so, burying deep under the tyrannical foundation the faintest cries for justice that people disdain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Bai Feng and Yue'er, who rode back, returned to the already built military camp with Licinius and others, compared to the Roman young soldiers who were born to build military camps, the soldiers of the Tiger Legion and the Cheetah Legion could only fight in addition to their dry eyes.
When the huge military camp appeared on this originally flat land, the warriors from the barbarian tribes were obviously shocked by the ability of the Roman youth army, which was set up in front of them bit by bit.
Even Gatus and Bazel, who had returned to the barracks, were incredulous at the scene in front of them, especially the young Gatus, who was shocked when he saw the sturdy barracks and said:
"This ...... This...... Could this be the barracks that our legion has just set up?"
"General Gatus, I'm afraid you're thinking too much, this barracks should have been built by the twelve young soldiers under the command of General Licinius, and it has nothing to do with the soldiers of our legion. ”
Bazel, who has been a tribal leader for eight years after a long time on the battlefield, is indeed more than a step more stable than the fledgling Gatus, and after Gatus said such a sentence, he calmly poured a basin of cold water on Gatus, which made Gatus immediately show embarrassment.
"Bazel, you're overblowing. Seeing that Gatus's face was flushed with embarrassment, Bai Feng, as the commander-in-chief, naturally wanted to stand up and play a round: "If it weren't for the help of you and the soldiers under Gatus, relying on the less than two thousand Roman young soldiers under the command of Licinius, they would probably not be able to build such a large military camp even if they were busy until this time tomorrow." ”
"Yes, this barracks was not built by our First Legion alone, but the result of the concerted efforts of our three legions, and it is not difficult to build a barracks, as long as the soldiers of your legion learn it twice. ”
Now that Bai Feng has stood up to play a round, Li Sini, as the commander of the First Legion, of course, can't stand still, and he also stood up and attributed the credit for building this military camp to the heads of the three legions, so as to give enough face to Gatus and Bazel.
"Alright, let's stop standing stupidly at the door of the barracks, let's hurry in, the enemy army will be on the east bank of the Cangluo River in two or three days at most, and now we should be ready for this war. ”
After everyone turned over and dismounted and walked into the barracks, several patrol soldiers of the Cheetah Legion immediately came forward to lead the horses for everyone, Bai Feng nodded to the captain of this patrol with a smile, and then turned to the commander of the Cheetah Legion, Gatus, and said:
"Gattus, this Captain Wendell under your command is a good talent, if he can make enough meritorious contributions in this war, I plan to transfer him to my command, are you willing to give this talent to me?"
"All the soldiers of the Cheetah Legion are the Governor's soldiers, as long as the Governor wants this Wendell, I will let him report to your military tent tonight!" Facing the Governor who asked for talent from him, the loyal Gatus agreed without hesitation.
"Haha, I know your Gartus's loyalty! But I don't need this Wendell under my command yet, he has to prove himself on the battlefield before I can justifiably give him a better chance to develop. ”
After casually explaining, Bai Feng didn't say anything more on this topic, but took these generals to his commander's tent, the built barracks was divided into four distinct areas, the closest to the main gate of the barracks is the station of the Cheetah Legion, the left flank is the station of the First Legion, the right flank is the station of the Tiger Legion, and the central position is where Bai Feng's tent is located.
This is also the standard Romanesque barracks structure, with the three legions scattered around the barracks being specifically responsible for patrolling the area of their legions, and the central commander's area is patrolled by the personal guards directly under the commander.
Needless to say, the guards who were responsible for patrolling and guarding the commander's tent in this barracks were the three detachments of soldiers led by Antio, and although these three groups of soldiers were not many in number, they were more than enough with the strength of the Germanic berserkers and Antio's general's guard.
After the group all walked into Bai Feng's military tent, Bai Feng walked to the commander's seat in the military tent and sat down, the sword-wielding attendant Maxi and the shield-wielding attendant Darnell were behind Bai Feng, and Bai Sheng, the giant man of the iron tower, stood helplessly under the marshal seat.
Who made Bai Sheng's height of more than two meters too tall, Bai Feng's seat was originally placed on a higher step, so that Bai Feng could sit and condescendingly discuss with the generals below;
After the four generals entered the tent, they stood in a very tacit arrangement on the left and right, on the left of Bai Feng were General Licinius and General Antio, and on the right were General Bazel and General Gatus;
"Generals, this war between us and the invading army of the Aceni tribe is still a war based on defense. After everyone sat down, Bai Feng took the lead in giving a definition of the war that was about to break out, and then he spoke eloquently.
"Whether it is due to the strength of both sides or the fact that we do not have ships, it is impossible for us to cross the Cangluo River and launch an active attack on the Aceni tribe on the east bank, which means that we can only act as a defensive side.
Although we are the defender, this does not mean that we must be in a passive state, we must grasp the initiative of the war in order to control the rhythm of the war, and finally win the war.
However, it is not easy to control the initiative in this war, and we must at least be familiar with the enemy to ensure that we will not be led by the nose, and in this regard, we must listen carefully to what General Bazel has to say.
After all, General Bazel is the only one of us who has ever confronted the Essini army head-on, and has won a very glorious victory, and tell us, General Bazel, what the Essini army is like. ”
