"Chapter 36: Special Cavalry Training"

Life is just a passing passer. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

- Thomas Aquinas (medieval scholastic philosopher and theologian)

After arranging and handling the affairs of the Tiger Legion, the time had already entered the afternoon, and Bai Feng, who was estimated to have no time to go to the shipbuilding workshop today, once again returned to the cavalry stable where he had purchased three thousand war horses at the beginning.

The person in charge of the urban barracks told Bai Feng very clearly that the urban barracks that can only recruit infantry cannot specially train cavalry troops and crossbow troops;

There is no doubt that the special training place of the cavalry unit must be the cavalry stable that specializes in recruiting cavalry; although the person in charge of the cavalry stable had not mentioned this matter to Bai Feng before, Bai Feng's own analysis could not be wrong.

Once again, the person in charge of the cavalry stable was called to Bai Feng's side, and in the face of Bai Feng's question about special training, the person in charge gave Bai Feng a surprising answer, the cavalry stable can indeed be specially trained, but there are restrictions that other buildings do not have.

Infantry fighters are trained in urban barracks and archers are trained at the shooting range, and cavalry stables require cavalry to ride horses produced in the stables.

This also means that if Bai Feng wants the cavalry troops of Rome City to enter the cavalry stables for special training, he must buy high-quality war horses in the stables for the specially trained cavalry, and the high price of 10 gold per war horse makes the investment cost of this special training too high.

Of course, the high cost also symbolizes high returns, and the special training of cavalry is more significant than the results of special training for infantry and archers, and all cavalry who enter the special training of cavalry stables can not only learn the Roman cavalry formation, but also the wedge formation of cavalry combat.

What Bai Feng could imagine was that once the barbarian light cavalry with good combat effectiveness changed to the higher-quality war horses in the stable, coupled with the Roman cavalry formation and wedge battle formation they had learned, their combat effectiveness would definitely be improved by leaps and bounds.

Even, Nelson's Roman Spear Legion can be transformed from the only cavalry legion with strong mobility in Rome City into the only super legion in Rome City with both strong assault power and mobility!

The Roman Spear Legion, as the name suggests, should be the sharpest spearhead of attack in the city of Rome, and should not be limited to the positioning of a mobile force, but unfortunately, Nelson's close relationship with Eggers is too close for Bai Feng to choose to train his legion now.

In addition to Nelson's cavalry corps, which will not be specially trained, the generals' guards attached to the other four standard field legions will not be included in the special training by Bai Feng, and in addition to the cavalry wing of the governor's guard, there are only two cavalry wings of the Macedonian phalanx corps.

Both the Cheetah Legion and the Tasya Legion were smaller than the standard legions, with a total strength of only 1,024 men, and each of them had two cavalry wings, and the four cavalry wings of the two legions had a total of 4,096 cavalrymen.

With the four small cavalry wings of the two Macedonian regiments, plus the large cavalry wings of the Governor's Guard, the total number of cavalry that Bai Feng plans to put into the cavalry stables for special training this month is as high as more than 6,000 people, and the funds that need to be paid to purchase war horses are as high as 60,960 gold!

Fortunately, there is no need to pay specific special training fees for the special training of the cavalry stables, otherwise Bai Feng will definitely not be able to conduct such a large-scale special training cavalry unit; after making the choice of special training, Bai Feng will have to pay a huge amount of special training expenses.

The three thousand high-quality war horses purchased before were all brought back to the cavalry stables by Bai Feng's order, along with the four cavalry wings of the Cheetah Legion and the Tassia Legion, and soon, Bai Feng's treasury funds were deducted another 30,960 gold!

After explaining the value of special training to the two legion commanders, Gatus and Gamilios, the father and son immediately understood Bai Feng's trust and importance to them, and the old and respectful Gamilios didn't say much, but only strengthened his loyalty to Bai Feng.

And Gatus, who was still young and inexperienced, was not as stable as his father, and he felt Bai Feng's trust in his heart, so he impassionedly reaffirmed his loyalty to the governor on the spot, and once again frankly confessed that he was willing to risk everything for the governor.

Maybe it's Gatus's mood today that infects Bai Feng, or maybe Bai Feng's mood is really good today, or maybe Gatus's loyalty has always been seen by Bai Feng;

Generally speaking, the commanders of the legions of the various legions in Rome City generally possessed the strength of the Great Sword Master, whether it was a low-level Great Sword Master, a high-level Great Sword Master, or even the Great Sword Master Da Quan, who was only one step away from the Sword Master, they were all strong at the level of the Great Sword Master.

Only Gatus, who served as the commander of the Cheetah Legion, his strength was too different from other legion commanders, not to mention that compared with other legion commanders, even some special troops in Rome City were already not weaker than him.

This situation, on the one hand, proved the rapid growth of the strength of the city of Rome, and on the other hand, put Gatus himself in an extremely embarrassing position, so that the entire Cheetah Legion, in front of the soldiers of the other legions, had a feeling of not being able to raise their heads.

If youth is Gatus's greatest asset, then the lack of strength brought about by youth is the most fatal flaw in Gatus, and the great gift that Bai Feng gave to Gatus this time is the energy light ball that the High Priest Binglan has worked hard to prepare for him!

On the occasion of the arrival of this new month, Bai Feng will use another energy light ball by himself tonight to improve his strength, and it just so happened that Gatus in front of him reminded him of the other party's poor strength, so a hard-won energy light ball was sent out by Bai Feng.

"I know you don't understand why I gave you this energy light ball, you just need to go back tonight and absorb the energy in this energy light ball by yourself, don't tell anyone about this, you will know what this gift I gave you tonight!"

Facing Gatus's puzzled eyes, Bai Feng said this to Gatus, who was holding the energy light ball in his hand, but the second half of the sentence was not only said to Gatus, but also to Gatus beside Gatus.

After all, Gamilios was Gatus's father, so how could he possibly reveal the governor's affection for his eldest son?

After dealing with the problem of the cavalry stables, night had quietly fallen, and the father and son of Gamilios and Gatus left one after another, and Bai Feng also returned to the governor's residence with three retinues around him.

The dinner with Yue'er and High Priest Binglan was not awkward, but there was absolutely no warmth at all, silence was still the main theme of the dinner, and Bai Feng had to hurry up and go back to his room after dinner.
