Roman Empire of Total War

Chapter 281: "·Core Legion"

Roses used to be famous for their fame, and today people only hold the name of roses.

——Umberto Eco (the world's most well-known authority on symbolic linguistics)

But this does not mean that the Roman legion that uses the standard establishment is truly invincible, because it is never the rigid composition of an army that determines the combat effectiveness of an army, but the commanding ability of the army general and the belief of the army generals.

The core legionaries of the Roman city are served by the troops summoned by the Rome comprehensive war system, which is enough to solve the problem of the belief of the army officers; as for the commanding ability of the army generals, their performance in the Roman world is not enough to prove ?

Now that the two most important factors that determine the strength of an army's combat strength have been determined, Bai Feng can safely use the standard Roman legion establishment for the establishment; however, what Li Xini said just now is not unreasonable.

The standard establishment of the Roman legion has been extremely weak in terms of cavalry. This is a frustrating fact determined by the actual situation of the Roman mainland; now it is already in a new world. Bai Feng naturally wants to make up for the defects of the Roman legion. .

According to Bai Feng’s understanding, the standard formation of the Roman legionaries was converted into a specific armament in the total war of Rome. There should be a new establishment: the three hundred-person teams under each brigade are the Roman Light Infantry and the Roman Youth Army. , Roman heavy infantry.

With the strong Roman heavy infantry as the main force of the brigade, the less powerful Roman Youth Army cooperated with the Roman heavy infantry to undertake frontal combat, and the Roman light infantry using the javelin was responsible for the first wave of attacking the enemy.

The standard Roman legion is generally composed of twelve brigades, and it is also equipped with a special equipment unit and a cavalry 100-person team. Having truly experienced the white peak of the Roman world, it is not intended to be equipped with an extremely mobile instrument unit in the Roman city legion. .

In addition, Bai Feng also intends to increase the number of brigades under the Legion to sixteen, and add a wing-level establishment above the brigades; and the enhanced cavalry strength proposed by Li Xini, which is also specifically adjusted by Bai Feng Prepare content.

Regarding the formation of the brigade, neither Li Xini nor Antio had any opinions. Bai Feng himself thought that the establishment was more reasonable; in this way, the three men first finalized the formation of the brigade, and the next step was to discuss the establishment of the brigade. .

As the direct command unit of the legion, the wing must have the ability to operate independently; because the size and number of the core corps in Rome are limited, the wing of the core corps must become a combat unit that can be separated into independent combat.

In this way, the number of the brigade under the wing is set to four, and a team of Roman light cavalry and a team of Roman auxiliary cavalry will also be assigned to enhance the wing’s reconnaissance and intelligence transmission capabilities, so that the wing Become a true multi-unit combined combat unit.

How many squadrons should be under the control of a corps, this has become the key to the discussion of the three; Li Xini believes that a standard Roman corps should administer five squadrons, four of which are multi-arms combined Team, a wing is a dedicated cavalry wing.

Forming a special cavalry wing to attach to the legion, this seems to Bai Feng to be too wasteful; after all, the fighting power of the Roman light cavalry and the Roman auxiliary cavalry is there, and the role they can play is actually quite limited of.

Before the Roman legionary cavalry and the Roman guard cavalry did not come out, the weakness of the Roman cavalry could not be fundamentally changed; even if the number of Roman cavalry was increased, they could not change their lack of quality.

After some careful thinking, Bai Feng proposed a new regimental formation, that is, each regiment has four multi-arms combined wing groups, and a light cavalry brigade and an auxiliary cavalry brigade directly under these four brigades.

The so-called light cavalry brigade and auxiliary cavalry brigade are composed of five groups of Roman light cavalry and five groups of Roman auxiliary cavalry; with the existence of these two brigades, the cavalry of the Roman legion has also been strengthened countless times.

After all the arrangements have been sorted out, the number of systematic arms of the core legion is as high as 9,640 soldiers; the number of cavalry is as high as 1,944 soldiers. The proportion of such cavalry is already very high Yes.

However, in order to form such two core legions in Rome, it is almost impossible in the short term; the construction and cost of recruiting troops will not be mentioned, but the population alone is enough to make Bai Feng headache.

To summon all the arms needed by a core legion, Baifeng’s Roman city needs to have a population of more than 64,000; the proportion of the army of the pit fathers has increasingly affected the development of the military strength of the Roman city. Bai Feng must Find a way to obtain a large population.

It is said to think of a way, in fact, there is only one way, that is to obtain the power of faith through the sacrifice of gods, so as to increase the population of the city of Rome on a large scale; Ways to increase population.

Such a one-time solution is not what Bai Feng wants, but Bai Feng, who can't think of a better way, can only use this method; but before this December, Bai Feng does not plan to increase the population of the city of Rome on a large scale. .

Because in December, the city of Rome had to pay for the maintenance costs of all the summoned troops. Now recruiting a new army is the least cost-effective deal; Bai Feng, with limited funds, does not intend to waste the limited funds of the city of Rome on the maintenance costs of the army.

After the end of this December, after the arrival of the new year, Bai Feng will officially start the rapid development of the city of Rome; by then, a large number of population growth will inevitably occur, and a large-scale army call is reasonable.

When Li Xini and Antio also withdrew from the meeting room, Bai Feng finished his work tonight. Bai Feng, who was already exhausted, dragged his tired body back to the bedroom and slept on the bed without lifting his head. Too.

In the early morning of the next day, all the reorganized legions were busy, especially the newly formed lion legion; Upton not only needed to send the extra soldiers under his command to Antio, but also needed to make A large number of lion army flags.

Antio, who has handed over the Governor’s Guard to Peres, has temporarily become the chief person in charge of coordinating the remaining troops. His task is to complete the establishment of the insufficient army and send the extra soldiers to the station in order. Tuntian Corps near various towns.

Antio, who was always not good at handling military affairs, became the busiest general among all the generals in the city of Rome. Fortunately, other heads of the army also knew what kind of person Antio was, so they dealt with staffing. The above are more detailed and specific.

Bai Feng, who was busy in his busy time, took a time to go to the Temple of Apollo; this time he did not go to the High Priest Binglan to sacrifice his gods. He just went to visit the High Priest Binglan. Meet.

Unexpectedly, Bai Feng came to see his ice priest on the second day after returning to Rome. When Bai Feng's figure appeared, her face burst out with a bright smile; the two chatted with each other. After that, Bai Feng went back to the governor's house to do his business.
