Sleep is sweet, becoming a stubborn stone is even more happiness, as long as there is shame and sin in the world, not seeing or hearing, ignorance and unawareness, is my greatest happiness, don't come to wake me up!

Half an hour after Adrien returned to the Doge's Palace, all the generals in Rome were called to the council chamber of the Doge's Palace by Bai Feng, and even Queen Boudicca was also called;

"The reason why I have called all of you here today is because half an hour ago Adrien brought me the shocking news from the east bank of the Cangluo River: Francis of the Kingdom of Aceni has come with an army of 150,000 men. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If nothing else, Francis' army will be in Queen Boudicca's camp in three days' time, which means that we have three days to prepare for battle, and in three days we will have to fight a war of great disparity outside Queen Boudicca's camp.

Some of your legions have not yet had time to improve their combat effectiveness, especially Gamilios's legions, your new training has just begun, but the arrival of this battle no longer allows us to slowly prepare for war, we must prepare for war immediately!"

"How is this possible?!" As soon as Bai Feng's words fell, Queen Boudicca, who was sitting opposite Yue'er in her special capacity, exclaimed: "Francis is only the weakest of the six forces, how can he have an army of 150,000?!"

"Your Majesty, there is nothing impossible, and from what I know of His Highness Francis, he must have taken the opportunity to attack our camp on the night of the attack on our camp with the other two Highnesses, and with success.

Although His Highness Francis's strength has suffered considerable losses after several battles, his resourcefulness is far from being comparable to that of the other two Highnesses, and as long as His Highness Francis has great strength, Assam and others will not refuse his rule.

After all, His Royal Highness Francis was the most recognized heir to the throne of His Majesty the Kingdom of Plasus, and His Royal Highness Francis himself was not a cruel person, he only needed to use a little gentle means, and the Acenian Kingdom would be reunited by him. ”

In the face of Queen Boudicca's discoloration, there was no need for Bai Feng to explain anything, and Eggers spoke out to roughly describe Francis's unification process;

Bai Feng, who had no intention of talking more about Francis at this preparatory meeting, did not interrupt Eggers' explanation, and it was not until Eggers finished his explanation to Queen Boudicca that Bai Feng corrected the content of the meeting.

"I don't know what kind of person His Majesty King Francis of the Kingdom of Essini is, and I don't want to know what kind of person he is;

Now let's discuss how to deal with Francis's 150,000 army, knowing that his 150,000 army is not all made up of infantry, but there are 30,000 cavalry, and we can't get back to Nelson's army in time.

In addition, Francis had 100,000 elite soldiers left behind him, and all we could muster was the six legions near the city of Rome, plus the 1,500 soldiers of the Doge's Guard, and our total strength was 81,000.

Of course, the Esthenian Legion under the command of Queen Boudicca will also be involved in this battle, so that our total strength can reach an unprecedented 100,000 men, but unfortunately our enemy has an army of 150,000, do you have any good advice for this battle?"

The city of Rome had only 100,000 troops under all its might, while the enemy had a full 150,000 troops, such a huge disparity in numbers made the generals present not know what to say, and Eggers and Bazel, who had always spoken actively, were silent.

The atmosphere in the conference hall, which had been silent for a long time, became more and more dull, and seeing that no one was willing to stand up and say what he thought, Bai Feng had no choice but to say his thoughts for the reference of the generals present.

"Since you are not willing to give your own proposals, let me tell you what I think, our army is 50,000 fewer than the enemy, but this does not mean that we are inferior in all aspects, and our army has its own advantages.

Compared to the cavalry under Francis's command, our army is superior in long-range attack and defense, and this time I intend to form a battle formation with the corps of Gatus and Gamilios as the core to resist the enemy's attack head-on.

Then the eight thousand soldiers of the First Legion are all equipped with the Leng Locust longbow in our warehouse, plus our two thousand elite longbowmen in the harbor, and I will prepare a longbowman battle formation for the enemy army on the left flank of the frontal battle formation.

As for the right flank of the frontal battle formation, that is the main force on which we have gathered heavy troops; as long as our frontal battle formation can resist the enemy's frontal attack to the death, our main force on the right flank can take the lead in crushing the enemy's left flank with local superiority in strength.

When the time comes, our right-wing troops will take advantage of the situation to launch an attack on the flank of the enemy's main frontal force, and it may not be impossible to crush the enemy's main frontal army in one fell swoop under the attack from both sides; however, this idea of mine is also risky.

If the Cheetah and Tasya Legions are unable to stop the enemy's frontal attack, then we risk losing the entire war, because once the enemy's main army is the first to crush our frontal forces, our flanks will be caught in the enemy's flanks.

Therefore, this plan of mine must be carried out by the soldiers of the Cheetah Legion and the Tasya Legion with the belief of the death, only then will we have a chance to win;

"People are in the position, people are dead, and the position is lost!"

After glancing at each other, the father and son of Gamerios and Gatus, they gave Bai Feng this reply in unison, and their firm attitude was the attitude that Bai Feng appreciated the most, but Bai Feng still said to them with sincerity on his face:

"I need you to do everything you can to win this war, but if you can't win until the last moment, you don't want to fight to the death on the battlefield, and decisively choose to retreat.

Before the war starts, I will try to move the people in Queen Boudicca's camp to the west bank, and when the time comes, our ships will be moored on the Cangluo River, and if we are defeated, you generals will not be foolish enough to fight to the death.

It is not a big deal if we fail to defeat the enemy's attack, and if we fail, we will retreat to the west bank and rebuild our strength, and I believe that as long as the city of Rome and you generals are here, sooner or later we will rise again on the banks of the Cangluo River!"

"Swear allegiance to the governor, swear allegiance to the city of Rome!" No matter whether Bai Feng said from the bottom of his heart or verbally, the generals present felt that their hearts were on fire;
