"Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Strangling of the Cavalry"

Although he also drinks, he does not indulge in it, and although he also satisfies his desires, he stops in moderation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

- Giovanni Boccaccio (a prominent representative of the Italian Renaissance movement, a humanist)

Great Sword Master, Great Knight Chief, Great Magician, the reason why the powerhouses of this level are called strong is not only because of their strength, but also because their numbers are scarce, enough to become the backbone or even the top combat force of any force.

There are indeed strong people in this world who are above them, such as the Sword Master, the Magister, and the Paladin, but the number of the latter can be described as very few, that is, the pillars of various powerful forces, and they are otherworldly existences.

If on average, out of every 10,000 ordinary people, less than 100 people can become cultivators, then out of a hundred cultivators, there are only 10 people at most who can transcend the beginner apprenticeship, apprenticeship, and acolyte stages and become true cultivators.

It is this one in a thousand true cultivators, that is also the lowest level of the cultivation world, and the strength of each of the remaining strata is improved by a smaller proportion than none in a thousand, especially when it reaches the stage of advanced cultivators, it is even more difficult to take a step forward.

As for the Sword Masters, Magisters, and Paladins that the world looks up to, their existence is equivalent to nuclear weapons on the earth, and any force, if it does not have a strong person of this level, it is not even a first-class force!

And the first-class forces in the entire world, it seems that there will be no more than fifteen on the surface, including the Papal Realm dominated by the Bright Sect and the Heavenly Dragon Empire where the Bai family is located; it can be seen that the cultivators at the level of the Great Sword Master are already truly strong.

The reason why the system of the city of Rome is strong is that the Roman total war system can recruit a steady stream of powerful troops, and on the other hand, because the army of the Roman total war system can increase its strength by killing enemies.

What kind of concept is this to improve the strength by killing the enemy? To put it simply, the systematic army of Rome City does not need to waste time on cultivation at all, they only need to fight the enemy all the time, and the more they fight, the stronger they will become!

Theoretically speaking, if a group of young troops in the city of Rome can kill a sufficient number of enemies in one battle after another, they can upgrade from the original unranked army to the highest level 6 army, that is, the army with all the strength of Juggernaut!

Of course, this is only a theoretical value, and the actual significance is not very great, because if this Roman youth army wants to upgrade from level five to level six, they need to slaughter a large number of enemy great sword masters, and it is estimated that the total number of great sword masters of the entire Celestial Dragon Empire is not enough for them to upgrade.

Having said all this, it is actually to prove the fact that there are not many generals in the Essini Kingdom who have the strength of the Great Sword Master, and the four great generals led by Eggers are all there, and there are definitely no more than ten other people who can be included in this rank.

Nelson and Joshuel, both of whom are now under the command of Bai Feng, are also among the ten, and in the eight years of the civil war in the Kingdom of Esini, there were two or three generals at the level of great swordsmen who died for Francis's two younger brothers.

There were also as many as two generals who died with Atabaz in the battle against the army in Rome, so if you calculate a little, the maximum number of generals at the level of the great swordsman owned by Francis's forces is only four, and this includes his own strength.

The battlefield ghost of Rome City is an elite class with an initial experience of level four, and the experience level of level four is equivalent to the advanced swordsman of this world;

Bai Feng, who has the battlefield ghost as the commander commando, can send the battlefield ghost to kill the enemy's generals below the level of the great sword master at will in any battle;

No army can be completely commanded by the commander-in-chief, and the generals at all levels under the commander-in-chief are the key to assisting the commander-in-chief in commanding the army; the death of a large number of generals at all levels can even make the commander-in-chief completely lose control of an army.

For example, Bai Feng's Roman City army, every time Bai Feng gave a battle order, he gave it to the commanders of each legion, and these legion commanders who received the order then issued specific orders to the captains below.

From Bai Feng's order, to the execution of the orders by the soldiers of each legion, it goes through at least three processes: the corps commander, the captain, and the centurion;

This is enough to prove the importance of an army's generals at all levels, Webster's spellcasters preemptively kill the enemy generals, and Adrien, with his battlefield ghosts, turns his attention to the other generals of the enemy army.

The caster's massive bombardment and the silent assassination of the ghost of the battlefield caused the enemy cavalry generals at all levels to suffer heavy losses in an instant, and the enemy cavalry, which had lost its main general and a large number of generals at all levels, soon became a chaotic army fighting on its own.

Eggers seized this opportunity and ordered the frontal soldiers of the Eagle Legion to launch a comprehensive counterattack against the enemy, and the soldiers on the flanks also took the opportunity to surround the enemy cavalry on three sides, preventing the enemy cavalry from having a chance to escape.

As for the rear of the enemy cavalry, Perris's department, which is still firing a salvo, will completely cut off the rear route of the enemy cavalry with their rain of arrows, and all enemy cavalry who want to evacuate the same way must be 'baptized' under the rain of arrows from the longbowmen!

Seeing that the defeat of the enemy cavalry was assured, Bai Feng directly gave the order to attack the Aceni legion deployed on the left and right flanks of the Roman Youth Army.

The enemy cavalry who were caught in the three-sided counterattack of the Eagle Legion could not get out of the battle for a while, and they lost their unified command, and the battle was even more fragmented and separated, and no one would take the initiative to help their robes.

Swiftly bypassing the Eagle Legion, the Iceni Legion simultaneously attacked the rear of the enemy cavalry from both sides, and it was not until the Esini Legion was engaged in battle that Peris's longbowmen stopped their rain of arrows at the rear of the enemy cavalry.

The siege of the Aceni Legion and the Eagle Legion on all sides completely cut off the back route for the enemy cavalry to retreat, and the enemy cavalry who were still trapped in the beast even spontaneously organized a concerted rear assault, but unfortunately it was still suppressed by the Aceni Legion.

After the failure of this assault, Bai Feng felt that the enemy's will to fight was almost worn out, so he asked Maxi to convey orders to Eggers and Joshuel to recruit these besieged enemy cavalry as much as possible.

With Bai Feng's order, Eggers and Joshuel personally commanded the soldiers to slowly withdraw from the battle with the enemy cavalry while stabilizing the encirclement, and then Eggers's personal persuasion succeeded in making the more than 7,000 cavalry lay down their weapons.
