"Chapter 43: The Great War is Imminent"

A person does not feel sad for the lack of good things that he has not enjoyed in his experience, and true sadness is felt only after the loss of what he is accustomed to enjoying. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

- Thucydides (ancient Greek historian, philosopher, and general, known as the father of the "science of history")

Bai Feng, who has never been an indecisive person, could not have the slightest hesitation at such a critical juncture, and after a little consideration, he formally ordered the generals who were looking at him expectantly:

"General Bazel, you immediately lead the soldiers of the Tiger Legion to the river bank to prepare for battle, no matter how the military situation changes, your Tiger Legion is the vanguard of our Roman army, once the enemy army on the other side lands, I hope you can firmly control the battle. ”

"Swear to die and live up to your mission!"

"General Licinius, your mission has now changed, and you will immediately lead the four thousand pikemen of the First Legion and the Cheetah Legion, as well as the Parthian archers who are patrolling, to meet the enemy cavalry forces north of the barracks.

I don't have any specific requirements for you, but there is one thing you must do, and that is that I don't want to see any cavalry from the Ethini tribe on the battlefield until the battle here is over, can you do that?"

"Unless we are all annihilated, we will not let a single enemy cavalry go south!"

"General Gatus, your task is to lead all the archers to prepare to meet the enemy, but after the enemy landing, you don't need to retreat to the rear of Bazel's Tiger Army, I will personally sit on the front line, you can just follow my command. ”

"Yes!"

"Alright, generals, hurry up and lead your respective legions to action, the soldiers are fast, today we will annihilate all the enemies from the Aceni tribe on this riverbank, so that they can understand who the master of the west bank of the Cangluo River is!"

"Yes!" After the generals got up and answered in unison, they turned around and walked out of the military tent in turn, looking at Yue'er and Antio who were still in the military tent, Bai Feng first ordered to Antio:

"General Antio, go and sort out your general's guard and Germanic berserkers, and soon we will go to the riverbank with General Gatus, our war has begun. ”

"Governor, can I personally go into battle to kill the enemy today?" Antio did not leave the barracks immediately under Bai Feng's order, but hesitated for a moment to ask the question in his heart; looking at Antio, who was eager to fight, Bai Feng shook his head helplessly and sighed:

"You, don't worry, I won't let you watch today's battle, you are ready to fight!"

It wasn't until the excited battle maniac walked out of the military tent that Bai Feng said frankly to Yue'er beside him:

"Originally, I thought that this war with the Aceni tribe would be an easy battle, but I did not expect that the enemy's commander would be much better than he had been thirteen years ago;

Now I'm not sure if we can win today's battle, maybe it's really the most difficult time, even you and I can't avoid fighting in person, Yue'er, are you ready?"

"Hehe, when it comes to fighting in person, I think that with my strength, no one will be able to hurt me, as for you, I will protect you by your side!"

After Bai Feng's order was given, the soldiers who had just entered the barracks quickly took action, Bazel loudly encouraged the soldiers under his command in the camp of the Tiger Legion, and Licinius also kept urging the soldiers under his command.

Gatus and Antio were the first to complete the assembly of their armies, and who made Gatus have only a thousand archers and a thousand elite warriors under his command, and Antio had only forty-four heavy cavalry of the General's Guard and forty-eight Germanic berserkers.

Bai Feng, who climbed the lookout of the barracks, could already clearly see that the army of the Essini tribe on the other side was marching, and the army of more than 50,000 people was rushing towards the Cangluo River like a black oppressive dark cloud, which made Bai Feng also involuntarily have a sense of nervousness.

After coming down from the lookout, Bai Feng took Antio and Gatus to the river bank first, and Bazel and Licinius, who were still gathering troops in the barracks, would set off separately after gathering their large army.

Riding his horse to the riverbank, Bai Feng glanced at the surface of the Cangluo River where the waves crashed on the bank, and then turned his head to look at the more than 2,000 soldiers behind him, especially the one hundred and sixty Cretan archers, Bai Feng was still full of confidence in this war!

At this time, Queen Boudicca is discussing with her henchman Eggers about the specific plan to cross the river; don't think that Queen Boudicca's insistence on marching to the west bank of the Cangluo River means that she is an impulsive and brainless person, and she is the queen who has won the allegiance of Eggers!

When Plasus was crisscrossing the eastern region, Eggers was his henchman, and even the three new kings and the three former generals who were now on the other side needed to greet Eggers when they first saw him, how could such a person be a fool?

Even if Eggers himself was a loyal man to Plasus, it did not mean that he would willingly follow Plasus's sixteen-year-old daughter, who at the time of his death, was the allegiance of all the warriors under Plasus.

It is undeniable that at the beginning, Eggers' attitude towards Boudicca must have been to watch him grow up, and in the next eight years, it was Queen Boudicca's every move that won Eggers' loyalty, which shows that Boudicca is definitely not a light opponent.

After deciding on the plan of the march to the west bank of the Cangluo River, Queen Boudicca carefully discussed the specific attack plan with General Eggers, summed up the lessons of the failed attack of Plasus thirteen years ago, and adopted the strategy of first confusing the enemy army and then dividing the army into two routes.

In fact, Queen Boudicca had intended to use the fact that Rome was not a wild land to contact the other tribes on the west bank of the Cangluo River, but unfortunately, the seven tribes closest to the west bank of the Cangluo River were now only the Tassia tribal alliance loyal to the city of Rome, and the other six tribes no longer existed on the west bank of the Cangluo River.

After the death of this plan, Queen Boudicca did not pay much attention to it, because she did not expect anyone to help her, and from the day her three brothers attacked her, she would no longer trust anyone!

Of course, Eggers, who had been diligently following behind her, was not among the people, no matter what, Eggers was still the person she trusted the most, and the commander who commanded more than 50,000 soldiers to launch a landing attack this time was none other than her most trusted General Eggers!
