"Chapter 61: Nostalgia for the Old General"
If a man grieves his mother, no matter how illustrious his position is, no matter how famous he is, he is a despicable person. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After a short stay in the town of Estheni, Bai Feng crossed the river with Nabazani and Assam in the direction of the city of Rome, while their army of 45,000 was left near the port of Essini on the east bank of the Cangluo River.
An army of 45,000 without loyalty is extremely dangerous, and even without the command of the two main generals, Nabazani and Assam, Bai Feng still has no sense of trust in these soldiers.
Bazel's Tiger Legion and Peris's Governor's Guard were also left in the barracks on the east bank of the Cangluo River by Bai Feng, nominally sharing the heavy responsibilities with the allies of the Aceni Kingdom, but in fact keeping a close eye on the armies of Nabazani and Assam.
If the armies of Nabazani and Assam make the slightest move, then the specially trained Tigers and the Governor's Guard will deliver the most violent thunderous blows to eliminate the threat of the 45,000-strong army.
The 45,000-strong army under the command of Nabazani and Assam was a formidable opponent for Rome, and even if the Roman army could defeat each other on the battlefield, it would inevitably have to pay the price.
Although it is not enough to say that one thousand enemies are killed and eight hundred are lost, the minimum cost of casualties is unavoidable, and the 45,000 soldiers at present, without the command of Nabazani and Assam, they are just a herd of lambs to the slaughter.
Nabazani and Assam, who chose to compromise, did not have any other selfish motives, and they obeyed Bai Feng's various arrangements without objection, and their docile performance surprised Bai Feng.
When he left Rome City, Bai Feng was still worried about the situation of the Acenian Kingdom and the future strategy of Rome City, but as a result, a month had passed, and the originally chaotic situation had also changed drastically.
After solving the problem of Nabazani and Assam, the focus of Rome will be shifted to preparing for war against the Vitte tribes, and this time, the armies of Nabazani and Assam will directly participate in the war waged by the city of Rome against the Waite tribes.
Of the 45,000 troops under their command, 5,000 were drawn from a good cavalry force, which was to be drawn separately to form a mobile force under the command of Eggers, while Nabazani and Assam were to command their respective 20,000 troops.
This was the deployment of troops that Bai Feng had drawn up as soon as he returned to Rome, and Eggers, Nabazzani, and Assam did not raise their own objections to this, so the distribution of the 45,000-strong army was thus determined.
The disposition of the forces of the city of Rome had already been determined in the previous Supreme Military Council, and there was no need to make any further adjustments, but the change of the kingdom of Esceni had in the end increased the number of troops available for the city of Rome to be used for battle.
As the month draws to a close, Brono's Dragons are almost complete with the 5,000 longbowmen of the Roman City Navy, and the new unit for training next month is Eggers' Eagle Legion.
At the same time as the Eagle Legion, there were also 3,000 longbowmen on the naval side, because this month, Bai Feng recruited 20 new triremes for the naval fleet in Rome, and the corresponding 3,000 longbowmen also needed to be in place.
The new 3,000 longbowmen will naturally undergo special training next month to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Roman City naval fleet, and after the special training of the Eagle Legion is completed, the official attack on the Vitte tribe in Rome will enter a countdown state.
The cost of special training for Nelson's cavalry legion is too high, and it is impossible to conduct special training in the short term, and Upton's lion legion is Bai Feng's deliberate non-special training, otherwise Bai Feng's plan prepared for Upton with his heart will not be useful.
The untrained Lion Legion will certainly pay a heavier price than other legions in future wars with the Vitte tribe, and Bai Feng will pay these costs without blinking an eye for the purity of the Roman City army.
Only an army loyal to the city of Rome and Bai Feng himself will become the army that Bai Feng attaches importance to; otherwise, this army is at best just cannon fodder in Bai Feng's hands, and no matter how many people die Bai Feng will not feel distressed.
By the time the various participating legions have completed the special training for a great increase in combat effectiveness, it is estimated that the pre-battle preparations of the city of Rome will be almost done; as long as the time is slightly right, it will be time for the army of Rome to kill the Vitus tribe like a tide.
When Bai Feng left Rome City before, the arena still had two days to be built, and when he returned to Rome City, the arena had already been built, and the construction period was also only thirty days of crop rotation, and there were still a few days left to be built.
Frankly speaking, Bai Feng himself was still more interested in the arena, which was mainly due to Bai Feng's own personal emotional factors, after all, when he was in the Roman world, his best friends and most loyal subordinates were all from the gladiators.
Antio, who is now the commander of the Second Legion of Rome, is the commander of the Samonai Legion of the Augustan Empire in the Roman world, and the Samonai Legion is a special legion composed purely of elite gladiators.
When it comes to the Samonai Legion and Antio, we have to talk about another person, that is, Bai Feng's best friend in the Roman world, the founder of the Samonai Legion, and one of the most important commanders of the Augustan Empire, Spartacus!
From Thales, the commander of the Augustan family's bodyguards, to Spartacus, the commander of the Augustan Empire's army, he used everything he did to practice his loyalty to the family and Oscar;
Thinking of this, Bai Feng still misses Spartak a lot, and he really doesn't know when he will be able to summon all the generals of the Augustan Empire in the Roman world to this world!
Compared to the barbarian generals who surrendered in this world, Bai Feng preferred to use his generals in the Roman world, not only because of the loyalty and trustworthiness of those generals, but also because their ability was stronger than that of barbarian generals.
Perhaps, the generals of the Chinese Ming Kingdom in this world are much stronger than the barbarian generals, but how dare Bai Feng, who has not seen it, make a conclusion? Moreover, are the generals of the civilized world who are better than the barbarian generals trustworthy?
In the final analysis, this is a double-edged sword with disadvantages and advantages, the back of the advantages is always a disadvantage, just like a person facing the sun, there must be a shadow behind it, the only thing worthy of Bai Feng's trust is the generals from the Roman world.
I hope that the generals of the Roman world can be summoned to this world one by one as soon as possible, after all, the current Apollo Temple, the time cooldown for summoning generals has been reduced to three months, and the treasury funds required for summoning have also dropped to only 1000 gold.
