- Alighelli Dante (Italian poet, one of the pioneers of the European Renaissance)

On the day that the issue of Queen Boudicca was resolved, a second group of Roman light cavalry was recruited, so that the city of Rome had three teams of cavalry, one of which was the Parthian archers summoned by the temple, and the other two were Roman light cavalry recruited by the city of Rome.

The Roman light cavalry equipped with small round shields and spears, their image is still very good, and they look quite extraordinary, but the specific combat effectiveness is not known;

In order to verify the combat effectiveness of these Roman light cavalry, after cooking with Yue'er in the governor's palace, Bai Feng took his entourage to the barracks to conduct exercises.

Nelson and his elite cavalry were already the official mobile troops of the city of Rome, and the mobile force of only more than 6,100 cavalry had reached 6,500 after Nelson came forward to collect the scattered cavalry.

Previously, when Bai Feng was at the award ceremony, he had told Captain Wendell of the Cheetah Legion that he was going to form a Governor's Guard, and also invited Captain Wendell to serve as a squad leader in this Governor's Guard.

Although Bai Feng said that it was just a joke to let Wendell be the team leader, the formation of the Governor's Guard was something that Bai Feng had always considered, and Bai Feng felt that he should have an elite direct force under his command for deployment, which was the original intention of his desire to form the Governor's Guard.

The war between the city of Rome and the Acenian tribe made Bai Feng feel the necessity of forming a governor's guard directly under him, as long as he had such an elite army, at least he would not need the protection of the soldiers of other legions wherever he went.

Bai Feng, who was determined to form the Doge's Guard, had already given an order to Antio, who had not done much, and from the time the Roman army returned to Rome, Antio's task was to carefully select a thousand of the most elite barbarian warriors among the three legions of the First Legion, the Cheetah Legion, and the Tiger Legion, and these thousand selected warriors were the backbone of the Doge's Guard.

Of course, a thousand elite barbarian warriors alone were not enough to sustain the name of the Doge's Guard, and the Cretan archers, Germanic berserkers, and Parthian archers summoned from the temple would also belong to the newly formed Doge's Guard.

In addition to the three teams of special troops and one thousand elite barbarian warriors, Bai Feng also planned to draw five hundred of the most elite barbarian cavalry from Nelson's mobile force to join the Governor's Guard, and Nelson, as the commander of the mobile force, had no opinion on this.

At this time, the framework of the Governor's Guard had almost been built, just waiting for Bai Feng to officially announce the formation of the Governor's Guard and the appointment of generals;

Today, Bai Feng went to the barracks, ostensibly to test the combat effectiveness of the Roman light cavalry, but more importantly, to preside over the founding ceremony of the Doge's Guard; after coming to the barracks, Bai Feng first let Nelson's cavalry start a battle with the Roman light cavalry.

The two teams of Roman light cavalry, composed of 108 cavalry, against two teams of temporary detachments of mobile troops composed of 200 cavalry, such a contest was also the scale personally formulated by Bai Feng after considering the difference in strength between the cavalry of the two armies.

The advantage of the Roman light cavalry was that they were in strict formation and knew how to charge in a wedge formation, and the disadvantage was that their individual cavalry was poor, while the cavalry of the mobile troops, these elite cavalry had the advantage of being strong in their individual cavalry, and the disadvantage was that they were loose in formation, and did not know any charge formation at all, and only knew how to charge forward indiscriminately.

There is such a rule in Chinese martial arts: a martial arts master and a soldier can easily kill the soldier, ten martial arts masters and ten soldiers face off, and the two sides will not win or lose, and a hundred martial arts masters will face off against a hundred soldiers, and the soldiers can easily slaughter the martial arts masters.

A simple comparison of numbers may not be suitable for this world with spiritual power and magic, but the army's emphasis on coordination and formation is much the same; a lone warrior needs flexible skills and strong strength, while a strong army needs strict coordination and a strong battle formation, which is the most essential difference between the two.

Why is it that in the war between the barbarian tribes and the Celestial Dragon Empire, the powerful barbarian warriors will always be defeated by the Celestial Dragon army that is inferior to them, so that the Celestial Dragon Empire has successfully opened up the southern region in the barbaric land.

In the final analysis, the gap between the armies of the two sides in cooperation and battle formations is too big, and the barbarian warriors with strong combat power do not know how to cooperate at all, nor do they know what a battle formation is, while the army of the Heavenly Dragon Empire can skillfully use various battle formations to deal with the barbarian warriors who fight their own battles, and they can naturally win the war.

In fact, the reason why the Celestial Dragon Empire can maintain a strong military advantage in the geographical location of the two kingdoms of the steppe tribes in the north, the barbarian tribes in the south, the orc empire in the east, and the white horse and Deman in the west is that the Celestial Dragon Army has a strong combat strength.

If you only consider the individual combat effectiveness of the soldiers, then the warriors of the steppe tribes, barbarian tribes, and orc empires are more than twice as powerful as the soldiers of the Tianlong Empire, why does the Tianlong Empire gain a foothold in the external environment of being attacked from all sides?

What Bai Feng is doing now is to bring all the warriors of the barbarian tribes conquered by Rome into the military system of Rome City, and teach them how to lay out a neat formation and how to use a powerful battle formation when training them into a loyal army of Rome City.

One day, when these individually powerful barbarian warriors are trained by the city of Rome to become elite divisions that are truly proficient in battle formations, will the army of the human kingdom still be able to withstand the attack of the barbarian warriors? At that time, the world will be the world of the city of Rome!

The cavalry of the mobile unit still charged the Roman light cavalry in a loose formation, and the Roman light cavalry quickly formed a wedge formation and launched a counter-charge against the charging loose cavalry formation.

The makeshift detachments of both mobile units were smashed through by the Roman light cavalry in the first round of the charge, but the former's combat strength was unquestionable, and at least a quarter of the Roman light cavalry were 'killed' by the spears of the enemy cavalry on the way to the charge.

The results of this exercise proved that the combat effectiveness of the Roman light cavalry was still as rubbish as in the game, but the battle formations they knew could play an important role in real battles, and once they were formed, they did not necessarily become a formidable fighting force.
