Roman Empire of Total War
Chapter 246: "·Two pieces of information"
No matter who wants to build a country and set rules for it, he should first assume that people are fierce.
-Nicolo Machiavelli (Italian political thinker and historian)
Less than half a month passed quickly, and the combat effectiveness of the various legions of the Roman city did not return to its peak state; the six thousand long archers who had been trained by Parris were quite similar, with volley arrows Rain is also quite large.
In the two days before the end of October, Bai Feng, who was about to go out, took the 6,000 long archers out of Parris’s house; according to the previous concept, Bai Feng divided the six thousand long archers into three parts, respectively. Assigned to the three legions without longbowmen.
The Tigers of Basil, the Eagles of Aiges, and the Dragons of Brono, each of them is supplemented by two thousand long archers; in this way, the total strength of the three legions is determined by the original one. Fifteen thousand rose to seventeen thousand.
The Tassie Corps of Gamilios and the Cheetah Corps of Gattus maintained their Macedonian formations, which to some extent weakened the strength of their regiments; because the legion formed by the standard Macedonian formations, only Eight thousand two hundred soldiers.
Fortunately, their regiments also have the Spartan heavy infantry and the Royal Macedonian Pikemen, as well as the enhancement of the Royal Macedonian Cavalry; together with the battle a month ago, the soldiers of these two regiments can use the Macedonian phalanx more skillfully , Their fighting power is only strong.
Joe Hugher’s Aisini Legion, their position is more awkward; more than half of the casualties in the last battle made it difficult for them to restore their original combat power within a month. No matter how one-on-one training is possible, Qualitative changes occurred within less than thirty days.
In order to give better care to the allied army, Bai Feng personally ordered the Aisini Corps to be under his direct command; also under Bai Feng’s personal command, there were the First Legion of Li Sini and the Governor’s Guard of Antio.
The twelve teams of the Roman Youth Army of the First Corps have revived the full series long ago, and with the 10,000 long archers under Perez, the total force of the entire First Corps is also nearly 12,000; Antioch’s Governor’s Guard, It still maintains the scale of 1,500 people.
In addition, there are only 20 German soldiers and the Parthian Cavalry Cavalry. The two special soldiers still remain with Bai Feng; the former Bai Feng intends to serve as his general guard, the latter is still as usual Is used to convey commands.
The reorganized Roman army and Aisini army have a total strength of more than 100,000. Among them, the three main field army corps with the same strength have a total strength of 51,000 soldiers and two Macedonian phalanx corps. The total strength is more than 16,000 generals.
In addition to the more than 67,000 soldiers from the five main field legions, the Aisini, First Legion, and Governor’s Guard directly under Bai Feng also add up to nearly 34,000 soldiers; in this way, Bai Feng’s The army broke through a hundred thousand people.
The army owned by Francis is far more than the original 150,000 army; Adrien, who was sent by Bai Feng to the hinterland of the Kingdom of Aisini, sent two pieces of emergency information to the ghosts of the battlefield under his command successively. Explain the expansion of Francis.
The first of the two pieces of information was that Adrien discovered that Francis had recruited soldiers in various camps in the hinterland of the Kingdom of Essini; when Adrien arrived near the Francis Army, his army had more than 200,000 troops. !
When Bai Feng received this information, his heart was helpless, even bitter; 200,000 troops, that is not 20,000 troops! Even if there are 50,000 soldiers newly recruited, the remaining 150,000 troops are genuinely elite!
If there are only 150,000 troops under Francis, Bai Feng still has the confidence to use the caster under Webster and the ghosts of the battlefield under Adrien to create chaos behind the kingdom of Essini and attract part of the army under Francis.
In addition, the Roman city’s army has an absolute advantage in arms and training, and top-level combat power. The gap of less than 50,000 people is not enough to make Bai Feng retreat; even the heads of the various legions Not afraid of Francis' strength advantage.
However, all this is based on the premise that Francis’s army has only 150,000 troops, or less than 150,000 troops; once Francis can enter the battle to reach 200,000, the alliance of the Roman city and the Aisini tribe There is little chance of winning.
The Roman city itself did not really surpass Francis's army in terms of combat effectiveness. The reason why it was able to achieve such a glorious victory last time was entirely due to the perfect coordination of the long archer's long range and the muddy land.
This time, Bai Feng did not have muddy land to cooperate with the long archer. Why should the army of the city of Rome defeat the army of the Kingdom of Essini with more than twice the number of its own? On the day he got this bad news, Bai Feng's decision to prepare for an attack was shaken.
For the sake of stabilizing the military's mind, Bai Feng finally did not release this information, nor did he tell anyone of his inner hesitation; on the third day after receiving this first information, Bai Feng received Adrien and sent it back. Second information.
The arrival of this information brought good news to Bai Feng. It turned out that the death of Atabaz in the last battle and the annihilation of the whole army under his command made Assam and Nabaza, who were also descendants. Ni also gave birth to the heart of rabbits and dead foxes.
In particular, after returning to the hinterland of the Kingdom of Essini, Francis immediately took over all camps belonging to Atabaz, and deprived Atabaz of the eldest son's inheritance, making Atabaz's family completely reduced to a third-rate family in name.
From the perspective of Francis, the king of the Kingdom of Aisini, his actions are entirely reasonable; but from the perspective of Assam and Nabazzani, this is naked crossing the river and demolishing the bridge!
Atabaz died in the battle for Francis’ ambitions, but his family was deprived of the right to inherit the camp by Francis; such actions made Assam and Nabazzani have to consider the future of their family, after all, their The strength is almost lost.
Francis, who was devoting all his energy to arming and preparing for war and accepting Atabaz’s camp, didn’t even care about Assam and Nabazzani’s careful thinking; therefore, when Assam and Nabazzani expressed their willingness to go to other camps When recruiting, Francis agreed.
The civil war broke out as a matter of course. Assam and Nabazzani pretended to lead their troops to other camps and returned directly to their camps halfway. Then they quickly recruited and restored their strength in their camps.
By the time Francis responded, Assam and Nabazzani had tens of thousands of soldiers and occupied their camps to restore independence; at this time, how could Francis, who had a 200,000 army, tolerate the betrayal of the two of them? What?
As a result, a civil war between the Kingdom of Essini broke out in full swing; one side was the 200,000 army under Francis, and the other was the 70,000 new army united by Assam and Nabazzani. The gap in combat power is simply huge!
