Chapter 221: "·Army East Crossing"

In the realm of art, the details are God.
-Michelangelo (sculptor, architect, painter and poet)
After watching Binglan's high priest sacrifice three statues, and the spell began to change the weather, Bai Feng said to Binglan's high priest to prepare for the battle preparations; just stepping out of the temple door, Bai Feng saw the far east The sky was gloomy.
The weather change was done in this way. At the cost of three gods, the Aisini tribe camp was exchanged for a three-day rainstorm at fifty miles from the Oriental Circle. Such an effort is worthwhile and very valuable to Bai Feng.
The three most important elements of warfare, time, place, and harmony are now two of the cities of Rome; even the time and place are all in the city of Rome, and the final harmony between people is really in doubt, after all, this It's a war with unclear roads.
As the king of the Kingdom of Aisini, Francis led his army's attack on Queen Budeka's camp, which was barely a united war; and Queen Budeka's struggle against Francis was, in a sense, free. war.
As for the intervention of the city of Rome, it was also for a deeper strategic purpose; so in Bai Feng's view, this is a war that has nothing to do with justice and evil, but a benefit that all three parties fight for their own interests. war.
The rainstorm, after all, was only an external factor brought out by Bai Feng, and it was the soldiers of the Roman city army who really decided the victory or defeat of the army; the commanders of Aegis and others all went to prepare for their army's expedition, and only Li Sini was still waiting With Bai Feng's personal arrangement.
The eight thousand barbarian fighters of the First Army will soon all become temporary long archers. This is Bai Feng’s most important deployment against the 15th Franciscan Army and the greatest value of the First Army in this battle; the other twelve Roman youth teams, they It is the protection force of the long archers.
After returning to the Governor’s Palace from the temple, Bai Feng took Li Xini who was waiting for him to the barracks of the First Army; the more than eight thousand cold Huai longbows in the Bailing Ring were the First Army. The weapons the soldiers are about to equip.
Because the arrows produced in the blacksmith's shop in the city of Rome are not used very much, and the hundreds of bow-making artisans do not make arrows on a weekday, the average ten thousand long archers can use four pots of arrows, Each pot is a standard twenty-four arrows.
If they had the opportunity to shoot all four pots of arrows, it would be a total of 960,000 sharp arrows; no matter how powerful Francis’s 150,000 army is, they must also be in the rain of nearly a million arrows. Pay a very heavy price!
The biggest shortcoming of the barbarian warriors is that there is no concept of cooperation in their mindset. It is not easy to train them to be advancing and retiring, and to cooperate with the tacit understanding; on the contrary, they are The ability to use bows and arrows.
As a barbarian warrior, hunting is a compulsory course for them from an early age and a must-have skill for their survival. The key to learning hunting is the use of bows and arrows. This is also the status of poor and backward barbarian tribes.
The lack of iron weapons makes barbarian warriors more able to use wooden bows and arrows to hunt. This lifestyle has trained every barbarian warrior to become a qualified archer. They only need to pick up a long bow. It is a qualified long archer.
Why did Bai Feng set up a 3,000-scale elite long archer so easily before, not because of the talent of the barbarian warriors so that Bai Feng did not need to worry about their shooting ability; but the accuracy problem can only rely on Crete The archers went to teach.
Who made Bai Long's long bow range so far beyond the cognition of the barbarian warriors; the range of 400 meters turned the sharpshooter who was originally within 100 meters into a rookie, This is also a helpless reality.
In fact, this reality does not affect the role of the long archers in the war, because the accuracy of thousands of long archers is no longer important, and the overwhelming arrow rain can always cause heavy enemy casualties.
After eight thousand Lenghuai longbows were distributed, there were only a few hundred Lenghuai longbows in Bai Feng's ring; Bai Feng, who was pressed for time, was too late for these warriors to master the longbows. On the way to the march, study how to use the longbow.
The first legion was the last of the six legions that were about to go on expedition. When they walked out of the barracks to the east of the city of Rome, the other five legions were all assembled, and Bai Feng ordered the whole army to go out. The command.
The true elite teacher does not need to be encouraged by the master before every expedition. Bai Feng is also consciously cultivating the soldiers of the Roman city to become a more powerful elite teacher. What about the wild land of man.
In addition to the soldiers of the six legions, General Joshuaer under Queen Budeka also led the Aisini legion with 20,000 soldiers behind the army; as for the guard of the Governor of Antio, they have been Behind Bai Feng.
In order to appease the people of the Essini tribe who are about to migrate across the river, Queen Budika was also on this expedition. The Yueer who always followed Bai Feng was left by Bai Feng; if the war is unfavorable, Bai Feng still has to rely on For months, we have stabilized the West Bank line of defense.
Knowing that the situation is severe, Yue'er didn't do much entanglement. She obediently obeyed Bai Feng's arrangement, and stayed peacefully in the rear of the Roman city. Once the war on the east bank was unfavorable, she would rush to arm in the west bank and prepare to respond. The defeated own army.
Now the conventional power that can be used in the city of Rome, that is, the three Tuntian legions north of the city; the soldiers of the three legions are also young and strong barbarian warriors. Bai Feng has issued an order to recruit them, but only It takes a few days.
The army led by Bai Feng personally marched all the way to the port of the city of Rome, where he added the two thousand elite long archers stationed in the port to the long archers of the first legion; then, he used the Alan's fleet to transport the soldiers They crossed the river.
The twelve transport ships and four merchant ships of the trading fleet were all used to transport the soldiers of the Roman city, and they could transport almost one legion of soldiers to the east bank at one time; but the east bank without the port can be troublesome , Still very delayed.
Fortunately, Bai Feng has a white-collar ring in his hand this time. The 800 cubic meters of storage space allows Bai Feng to store a large amount of food in the ring for consumption by the soldiers. Fortunately, transportation is omitted. Food trouble.
The crossing of the river by more than one hundred thousand troops wasted a whole day of Bai Feng, which also included the uninterrupted crossing of the river at night and the suspension of the retreat of the Essini tribe; when all the soldiers came to the east bank, the Essini tribe moved Only 20,000 people have left.
At this time, it was only more than a day before the army of Francis arrived at the camp of the Aisini tribe; Adrien took the ghost of the battlefield under his command and was dispatched by Bai Feng again, responsible for reconnaissance of the Francis army’s trail and reporting for three hours. once.
