The barbarian knights' own fierce combat effectiveness, coupled with the high-quality war horses provided by the cavalry stables, the prototype of the heavy cavalry has almost been formed; as long as Bai Feng provides them with a full set of heavy armor, the specially trained barbarian light cavalry will immediately become heavy cavalry.

Of course, there are more differences between light cavalry and heavy cavalry than these; there is still an essential difference between the two types of cavalry in terms of combat mode; light cavalry is always only an auxiliary attack force on the battlefield, while heavy cavalry is an assault force that can decide victory or defeat.

A light cavalry of 5,000 men can definitely play an extremely important role on the battlefield where an army of 50,000 fights, and their mobility and impact power can even affect the outcome of this battle, and the side with cavalry will have a considerable advantage.

If the scale of the battle exceeds that of 50,000 troops and reaches a staggering 100,000, the role of 5,000 light cavalry in such a large decisive battle is very limited, and it is difficult to turn the tide of the battlefield without their formidable combat effectiveness.

At this time, the value of the heavy cavalry is reflected, the heavy cavalry, which costs several times more than the light cavalry, has unparalleled impact and terrifying combat effectiveness, and they are the most powerful Death Scythe on the battlefield!

A 5,000-strong hoplite cavalry is capable of crushing everything on a battlefield of any size, and their fierce charging strength can easily tear apart the enemy's painstakingly constructed defense line and directly determine victory or defeat on the battlefield.

When Rome City did not have the conditions to form heavy cavalry, Bai Feng never thought of using the barbarian light cavalry in Rome City to form a new heavy cavalry;

Because he knew that with the provision of high-quality war horses in the cavalry stables and the special training of cavalry, the city of Rome already had all the conditions to form a heavy cavalry, so deep down, he already had a preliminary plan to form a heavy cavalry!

The formation of heavy cavalry is always more complicated than any other type of troops, and it takes more cost and time, and Bai Feng, who is actively preparing to attack the Vitte tribe, has to put the formation of heavy cavalry after the attack on the Werther tribe.

The last days of July were soon spent in the hustle and bustle of the march, and by the time of the new month, Eggers had already set out from Rome with his eagle legions, and Peris had set out with his Doge's Guard on the way back to Rome.

After all, the first day of each month is always Bai Feng's busiest day, and he needs to make plans and arrangements for the development of Rome City in the next month.

Last month's surplus: income 5,200 gold

Total amount of the treasury at the beginning of the month: 79,500 gold

Current total treasury: 84,700 gold

This is a virtuous circle, the higher the income of the city of Rome, the more Bai Feng can invest in the construction and development of the city of Rome, the more treasury funds are invested, the more powerful the city of Rome will be, and the more powerful the city of Rome will bring, and the more powerful the city of Rome will bring more treasury funds.

In such a cyclical development, the seemingly steady growth of the city of Rome is actually growing stronger in an unusually rapid way, after all, outsiders can only see the surface strength of the city of Rome, but Bai Feng knows how strong the potential strength of the city of Rome is.

On the face of it, there was little significant development in the city of Rome during this half-year period, the number of armies remained the same size, and the area of domination did not expand outward, only the number of warships in the navy increased.

In fact, however, the fastest growth in the strength of the city of Rome was not in the year of last year, but in the seemingly unremarkable half of this year; the change of uniforms of the whole army and the systematic special training of the whole army have increased the combat effectiveness of the army of Rome by several times on the premise that the number remains unchanged.

Quantitative change causes qualitative change, which refers to the increase in quantity to slowly promote the improvement of quality, which is the way of development of normal forces, but the strength of the city of Rome is directly achieved by the simplest and most effective qualitative change.

With the sophisticated weaponry produced by the armor shop, and the special training of the system building, the army of the city of Rome already has the strength to crush the army of any barbarian power, and this is only a qualitative change in the military strength of the city of Rome, not the development of other aspects.

In the past six months, in addition to the military strength of the city of Rome, the development of other aspects should not be underestimated; the construction of roads in all directions, the number of naval warships and special units has increased several times, and the number of towns directly under the city has become more and more prosperous, all of which are the strength of the city of Rome.

Inadvertently, half a year has made the originally powerful city of Rome truly strong, and the only Virtus tribe in the eastern region that has not experienced war will become the first touchstone of Rome!

In fact, there is another phenomenon in the attribute table of Rome City that Bai Feng is very pleased with, that is, the situation of the six directly subordinate towns of Rome City; after such a long period of development, the directly subordinate towns with different populations have finally all become rich towns recognized by the system!
