However, this does not mean that the Roman legions using the standard establishment are really invincible, because what determines the combat effectiveness of an army is never the rigid composition, but the command ability of the army commander and the belief of the army soldiers.

The core of the Roman city was played by the troops called up by the Roman total war system, which was enough to solve the problem of the belief of the army soldiers;

Now that the two most important factors that determine the strength of an army's combat effectiveness have been determined, Bai Feng can confidently and boldly use the standard Roman legion establishment in terms of establishment; however, what Licinius said just now is not unreasonable.

For a long time, the standard establishment of the Roman legions was extremely weak in terms of cavalry, which was a helpless fact determined by the actual situation of Rome itself, and now that it was in a new world, Bai Feng naturally wanted to make up for the shortcomings of the Roman legions in this regard.

According to Bai Feng's understanding, the standard establishment of the Roman legion was converted into the specific arms in the Roman all-out war, and there should be such a new kind of formation: the three hundred-man teams under the jurisdiction of each brigade were the Roman light infantry, the Roman youth army, and the Roman heavy infantry.

The main force of the brigade was the Roman heavy infantry, the Roman youth army, which was slightly less effective, cooperated with the Roman heavy infantry to undertake the frontal battle, and the Roman light infantry using javelins was responsible for the first wave of the enemy attack.

The standard Roman legion generally consisted of twelve brigades, with specialized equipment units and cavalry hundreds, and the White Peak, who had truly experienced the Roman world, did not intend to have extremely mobile equipment units in the legions of the Roman city.

In addition, Bai Feng also planned to increase the number of brigades under the corps to 16 and add a wing-level establishment above the brigades.

As for the composition of the brigade, Licinius and Antio had no opinion, and Bai Feng himself thought that this establishment was more reasonable; in this way, the three of them first finalized the establishment of the brigade, and then they discussed the establishment of the wing.

As the direct command unit of the corps, the wing must have the ability to fight independently, and 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 split and fight independently.

In this way, the number of brigades under the wing will be set at four, and it will also be accompanied by a team of Roman light cavalry and a team of Roman auxiliary cavalry, so as to enhance the reconnaissance and intelligence transmission capabilities of the wing, and make the wing a true multi-service composite combat unit.

Licinius believed that a standard Roman legion should have five wings, four of which were multi-service and one of which was a dedicated cavalry wing.

Assembling a special cavalry wing to accompany the legion was too wasteful in Bai Feng's opinion, after all, the combat effectiveness of the Roman light cavalry and the Roman auxiliary cavalry was there, and the role they could play was actually quite limited.

The weakness of the Roman cavalry could not be fundamentally changed until the Roman legionnaires and the Roman Praetorian Cavalry came out, and even an increase in the number of Roman cavalry could not change their qualitative deficiencies.

After some careful consideration, Bai Feng proposed a new corps establishment, that is, each corps has four multi-arms composite wings, and in addition to these four wings, it directly governs a light cavalry brigade and an auxiliary cavalry brigade.

The so-called light cavalry brigade and auxiliary cavalry brigade were composed of five Roman light cavalry and five Roman auxiliary cavalry, and with the existence of these two brigades, the cavalry strength of the Roman legions could be regarded as increasing countless times.

After all the establishments were sorted out, the number of the core corps alone was as high as 9,640 officers and men, of which the number of cavalry was as high as 1,944 officers and men, and the proportion of such infantry cavalry was already very high.

However, it is almost impossible for Rome City to really form such two core legions in the short term, and the buildings and costs required to recruit troops are not mentioned for the time being, the population alone is enough to give Bai Feng a headache.

In order to summon all the troops needed by a core legion, Bai Feng's Roman city needs to have a population of more than 64,000;

It is said that there is a way, but in fact there is only one way, that is, to obtain the power of faith through the sacrifice of divine objects, so as to increase the population of the city of Rome on a large scale; this method is good and very good, but the disadvantage is that once there is no divine object, the way to increase the population will be lost.

Such a one-time method was not the one Bai Feng wanted, but Bai Feng, who couldn't think of a better way, could only use this method, but before this December passed, Bai Feng did not plan to increase the population of Rome City on a large scale.

Because in December, the city of Rome needs to pay for the maintenance of all the summoned troops, and now recruiting new troops is simply the least cost-effective deal, and Bai Feng, who has limited funds, does not intend to waste the limited funds of the city of Rome on the maintenance of the army.

By the end of this December, when the new year arrives, Baifeng will officially begin the rapid development of the city of Rome, and at that time, a large population growth will inevitably occur, and a large-scale army call will be reasonable.

When Licinius and Antio also withdrew from the council room, Bai Feng's business tonight was finished, and Bai Feng, who was already exhausted, dragged his tired body back to the bedroom, and fell asleep on the bed without even raising his head.

Early the next morning, the reorganized legions were busy, especially the newly formed Lion Legion, and Upton not only had to send his surplus soldiers to Antio, but also to produce a large number of Lion Legion banners.

Antio, who had handed over the Doge's Guard to Peris, was temporarily in charge of the remaining forces, and his task was to replenish the undernumbered legions, and to transport the surplus soldiers in order to the Tuntian Corps stationed near each town.

Antio, who had never been good at handling military affairs, became the busiest of all the generals in Rome, and fortunately, the other legionnaires also knew what kind of person Antio was, so they were more detailed and specific in their staffing.

Bai Feng, who was busy and busy, took some time to go to the Apollo Temple, this time he didn't go to the High Priest of Binglan to sacrifice the artifact, he just went to visit the High Priest of Binglan, after all, the two hadn't seen each other for two months.

Unexpectedly, Bai Feng came to see his high priest Binglan the day after returning to Rome City, and when Bai Feng's figure appeared, a bright smile bloomed on her face;
