The two days of the rainstorm passed quickly, and on the third day, the three-day torrential rain finally stopped, and the cloudy sky became gloomy and gray.

Last night, Bai Feng had learned from Adrian's intelligence that Francis's army would arrive at his chosen battlefield this morning, so early this morning, the trumpet of the Roman army was sounded in the barracks of the army.

An unusually sumptuous breakfast made all the soldiers understand the fact that the big war was coming, and after eating and drinking, the soldiers of each legion walked out of the barracks under the leadership of their regiment commander and began to march in the direction of the battlefield.

The mud inside and outside the barracks made the march of the Roman army terrible, and all the soldiers could not avoid getting their feet in the mud, especially the elite warriors in battle armor, who swayed from side to side step by step.

This situation made the barbarian warriors, who were accustomed to light combat, very uncomfortable, and the short-tempered ones were even more scolding while struggling forward, in fact, not only these ordinary soldiers, but even those legion commanders had to dismount and walk.

Their horses could not bear their own weight in the muddy ground, and General Bazel was thrown by his stumbling horse less than a hundred meters away from the barracks, and if he hadn't turned over in time to dodge, he would have been crushed into the muddy water.

Bazel's lesson made the other generals wisely choose to step off their horses and march to the battlefield on foot with their own soldiers, and the cavalry units of the Cheetah Legion and the Tasya Legion had to be left in the barracks and unable to advance.

Unconsciously, the fighting strength of the Roman army was reduced by more than 2,000 cavalry, and the corresponding was the more difficult advance of Francis's army, and all of this was what Bai Feng wanted, and it was also the most suitable external environment for longbowmen to play their role.

After a long pause, Bai Feng took Licinius's First Legion, Jossier's Aceni Legion, and Antio's Doge's Guard to the location of the small hill.

After leaving the barracks, the various legions of the Roman military camp rushed to the battlefield that they had already agreed upon; the large army led by Bai Feng himself advanced to the small hill, and the two corps of the Chinese army with Camilios as the main general advanced to the right of the small hill 500 meters away.

The three corps on the right flank, led by the oldest and most powerful General Eggers, advanced to the right of the center, two miles from the hill, on another hill, each of which had its own mission in the war that was about to break out.

Bai Feng, who was satisfied with the muddy scene on the battlefield before, also sighed deeply after he really walked into this **** quagmire, because as soon as he stepped into the quagmire, one foot fell into the muddy water, and when he pulled it out, he lost a shoe.

After seeing Bai Feng's embarrassing scene, Antio on the side hurriedly ran over to help Bai Feng pull out the shoe from the muddy water;

With the maintenance of spiritual power, Bai Feng's steps were immediately much lighter, although he still inevitably fell into the muddy water when he walked, but he would not fall into the muddy water again, which was to avoid many embarrassing scenes.

It was supposed to be a half-hour journey from the barracks to the small hill on the battlefield, but it was difficult for Bai Feng and his army to walk for two hours, and by the time the army actually reached the small hill, at least half of the soldiers had no shoes.

The other half of the soldiers had shoes, but their shoes were not worn on their feet, but on their belts, and more than 30,000 barefoot troops came to the hillock, like a group of beggars begging in the streets.

Bai Feng, who came on the small hill, was not much stronger than the other soldiers, and the price of barely keeping his shoes was that the spiritual power in his body was almost half consumed, and now let him shoot the Starfall Chasing Wind Arrow, which is estimated to be the spiritual power of ten arrows at most.

Gamelios's central army and Eggers' right-wing army were also similar to the left-wing army that Bai Feng personally commanded, and the condescending Bai Feng could clearly see that their soldiers had also become barefoot troops, arraying as much as possible in the quagmire.

While the Cheetah Legion and the Tasia Legion were still arrayed, Adrien took his battlefield ghost to the small hill where White Peak was located, and brought White Peak information that Francis's army would arrive on the battlefield in two hours.

Bai Feng, who got the information, didn't say much, and while letting Licinius command the soldiers to set up the formation, he also asked the trumpeters of the Doge's Guard to blow the rousing horns, and repeated it rhythmically twice, so that the other two armies could understand this information.

As soon as the sound of the trumpets on Bai Feng's side stopped, Gamilios's central army and Eggers' right army replied one after another with the same passionate trumpet sounds;

On the small hill where Bai Feng himself was stationed, the two thousand elite longbowmen and eight thousand temporary longbowmen led by Peris were deployed in the center of the hill and on the right slope, and the twelve teams of young men led by Licinius were protected in front of the longbowmen.

The right side of Licinius's department, the right front of the longbowmen, was guarded by a thousand Governor's Guards led by Wendell, and in addition to the two of them, Bai Feng specially drew 10,000 soldiers from the Acenian Legion and divided them into two reserve armies.

If Licinius and Wendell's forces were unable to hold up, they would be reinforced by the two reservists to stabilize the forward defensive positions of the longbowmen and ensure that their attacks would not be disturbed.

The remaining 10,000 soldiers of the Aceni Legion led by Commander Joshuel were the last reserve force in Bai Feng's hands, and if anything unexpected happened to the Chinese army, it would be up to these 10,000 soldiers to play a role.

In the Chinese army commanded by Gamilios, the Macedonian super-pikemen phalanx of the Cheetah Legion and the Tasya Legion were neatly arranged at the front of the army, and the entire eight phalanxes composed of 1024 pikemen were closely lined up, like a forest of spears!

The Cheetah Legion is on the left side of the Tasya Legion, and on the right of the Macedonian phalanx of the Tasya Legion, there are more than 2,000 warriors and more than 1,000 longbowmen of the Legion, and on the left side of the Macedonian phalanx of the Cheetah Legion, it is also exactly the same deployment as the Tasya Legion.

On the right side of Eggers' command, Eggers' Eagle Legion was at the very front of their hill, Bazel's Tiger Legion was deployed to the left of the Eagle Legion, and Bronno's Dragon Legion was deployed to the right of the Eagle Legion, also ready for battle.
