Chapter 217: "·The enemy comes first"

My body belongs to the loess, my soul belongs to heaven, and my money belongs to the poor.
-Michelangelo (sculptor, architect, painter and poet)
In any case, it is impossible for Baifeng to lead the army in this September expedition, not only because the various legions of the Roman city are not ready for war, but also because Baifeng does not have the slightest understanding of his enemies.
Knowing oneself and knowing one another is a battle that Bai Baifeng believes most in battle, and it is also his principle of attaching importance to intelligence work; before he has no in-depth understanding of the enemy, Bai Feng will not blindly launch a seemingly victorious war of.
War has never been a matter of tenure and stability, and there is no such thing as a win-win-win situation. There are too many classic battles between China and foreign countries, both ancient and modern, and Bai Feng deeply realizes that only after the enemy is annihilated is a true victory.
Otherwise, the party that holds all the advantages may not necessarily be the party that wins, and any subtle link may become a key factor in the victory and defeat of the war; there are many Baifeng that have not achieved their ambitions, and they don’t plan to become a superior team The model that died first.
The three battlefield ghosts led by Adrien are not only an important assault force on the battlefield of the Roman city army, but also a scout force used by the Roman city to scout the enemy; in the Roman city's conquest of the east coast, the intelligence of the battlefield ghost Scouting has played an important role.
This time Bai Feng decided to let Adrien’s battlefield ghost forces play a greater role, and the task of reconnaissance of the other six forces of the Aisini tribe was handed over to Adrien by Bai Feng, and Queen Budika sent a small Forces of scale cooperate with them.
The hinterland of the eastern bank of the Cura River, where the ghosts of the battlefield have never set foot, and few in the Roman army were familiar with the area belonging to the Kingdom of Essini; the only way to lead the way was only by the Essini tribe People.
Both Igges and Nelson have their respective regiments in command, and it is impossible for them to really lead the way in their own status; the tasks of the Eagle Corps and the Roman Spear Corps are also heavy. The most suitable way is to send one from Queen Putika The team leads the cavalry.
Although the regular legions of the Essini tribe are assembled in the city of Rome, the number of their tribes is not small. It is very simple to find a small group of cavalry who are familiar with the terrain of the east. With their guides, the ghosts of the battlefield Started smoothly.
Before receiving the intelligence sent back by the ghosts of the battlefield, Bai Feng was not brazenly attacking the hinterland of the Kingdom of Aisini on the east bank of the Cangluo River; after all, the thin and dead camel was bigger than a horse, who knows the current Aisini tribe What strengths do the forces have?
What makes Bai Feng most taboo is that if the invasion of the Roman army unites the other six parties of the Aisini tribe, wouldn't it just lift a stone and hit their feet? Bai Feng's most hopeful situation is that the Roman army defeated the other forces of the Aisini tribe one by one.
It is a pity that beautiful dreams will always be defeated by cruel reality; on the twenty-sixth day of September, which is the ninth day when Bai Feng dispatched a battlefield ghost to the east to scout, Adrien was wearing a tired face The bad news returned to Rome.
Bai Feng, who had been practicing spiritual power in the room, was alarmed by a rush of horseshoes outside the Governor's Mansion. When he walked downstairs, Adrien, with blood on his body, just rushed into the Governor's Mansion; seeing such a scene , Bai Feng asked in shock:
"Adrien, why did you come back so quickly? Did something happen to the kingdom of Essini?!"
"Governor, we have never traveled to the hinterland of the Kingdom of Essini! Now Francis of the Kingdom of Essini has led a 150,000 army to the east bank of the Cangluo River, and there is a maximum of three days before they will be there. Queen Budeka's camp!"
"What?!" The shocked Bai Feng did not expect that Queen Budeka's elder brother would send troops to attack first. Did the other five forces unite with Francis? Bai Feng tried his best to hide the horror in his heart, and he continued to ask with composure:
"Adrien, don’t panic. Tell me about your deepening into the eastern hinterland of the Kingdom of Essini from the beginning to the end. Also, I want to know that Francis is about to reach the army of Queen Budeka’s camp. What constitutes!"
"Governor, after Queen Budeka sent that team of cavalry to show us the way, I took the other battlefield ghosts to the east of the Kingdom of Essini; as a result, we only walked forward for six days and we met Francis' vanguard.
At least five thousand cavalrymen found our tracks and launched an unsuccessful offensive against us; the team of cavalry under Queen Budika was limited, and was quickly killed by the enemy. Only the four of us fought and retreated.
After that, we did not return to Rome immediately, but took advantage of the night to check the Francis’ barracks; this time they marched eastwards for a total of 150,000 troops, of which ca. ca. 30,000, other infantry. They are also composed of elite warriors.
More importantly, we learned about the recent changes in the Kingdom of Essini by arresting a noble captive of noble status; it turned out that Francis had successfully annexed the power of his two younger brothers, and then surrendered to the other three. An independent general.
The current Francis’s command is not an independent force of the Kingdom of Essini, but the reunited Kingdom of Essini; and the 150,000 troops this time for the expedition is also the full power of Francis. He also has One hundred thousand elite army! "
After Adrien told Bai Feng all the information he knew, he couldn't describe the word shock in Bai Feng's heart; even shock was not enough to express Bai Feng's mood at the moment, he just waved his hand weakly. Let Adrien go down first.
Bai Feng has always believed that his Roman army's attack on the fragmented Aisini tribe will definitely be a destructive battle; the forces of the Aisini kingdom, which are not powerful but still fighting on their own, are absolutely impossible to support. Three months.
But helplessly, reality made a big joke for Bai Feng, Queen Botica's elder brother Francis turned out to be a strong character not inferior to his father; the Essini departments who had fought each other in the past few months, This was unified by his surprise.
Compared with his unbelievable heart, Bai Feng’s heart is more of a fear; if he did not send Adrien to the east bank of the Cangluo River nine days ago, the terrifying Queen Budeka’s camp fell and no one knows. It!
Now that the battlefield has arrived unexpectedly, there is no need to waste time in the Governor’s Mansion; anyway, this battle is inevitable sooner or later, it is better to fight on the east bank of the Cangluo River now. .
Even if it is impossible to break down the tribes of the Essini Kingdom one by one in a relaxed manner, Bai Feng is confident to wipe out the 150,000 troops of Francis in a one-on-one field battle; it is time for the barbarians on the barbaric ground to see the Macedonian phalanx Great, they will feel the taste of despair, at this time Bai Feng is still full of strong self-confidence in his army!
