Any thought that arises should be asked: Does it come from our side, or from the enemy?

February's financial report and the city attribute table of the city of Rome gave Bai Feng a good understanding of the situation in the city of Rome, but in comparison, Bai Feng, who valued military strength more, still focused his attention on the newly updated military attribute table.

In the past February, a large number of new systematic troops have appeared in the Rome City's military power attribute chart, and even the non-existent double warships have been included.

The intuitive numerical changes allow Bai Feng to clearly grasp the entire military situation of the Roman City, and the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Field Legion and the Tuntian Legion will become the main task of the Roman City Army in the next few months.

As for the replenishment of the First and Second Legions, the limited number of troops available to recruit limited the large-scale recruitment of the armies of the Roman City system, and even if Bai Feng had sufficient treasury funds, he would not be able to complete the establishment of these two legions in a short period of time.

Thankfully, the recruitment of naval warships and special personnel (spellcasters, battlefield ghosts) does not occupy the valuable military recruitment slots in the city of Rome, so that Bai Feng can strengthen the military power of the city by recruiting naval warships and special personnel.

The shipbuilding workshop completed last month not only brought Ick's trading fleet with you, but also unlocked the recruitment of the trirees, which are undoubtedly more powerful than the twin ships with 80 men!

The city's current water power is mainly composed of twenty double-lined warships recruited before, and the transport ships in Allen's and Ike's trading fleets will occasionally make cameos in Rome's troop carriers to help the Roman army cross the Cangluo River.

The wooden boats delivered by Queen Boudicca to Rome were distributed free of charge to the fishermen of the towns along the river, and for Bai Feng, who was accustomed to seeing Roman warships, the wooden boats of the barbarian forces were no different from sailing boards, and had no actual military value at all.

In order to strengthen the military strength of the Roman city, Bai Feng decisively chose to recruit ten powerful triremes of warships in the new March, and the recruitment price of a single ship was 570 gold, which made Bai Feng, who was sitting on a treasury of nearly 90,000 gold, just smile indifferently.

Ten triremes of battleships only needed ten days to recruit, and Bai Feng did not intend to waste the remaining twenty days in March; Bai Feng, who felt more and more that his reconnaissance strength was insufficient, once again chose to recruit twenty battlefield ghosts.

Anyway, the remaining army recruitment quota in Rome City is only 500, and even if the new recruitment quota is added this month, the total number of troops that can be recruited is about 1,300.

By the next month, with more than 2,000 recruits, the city of Rome will be able to recruit all 14 Roman auxiliary cavalry required by the First and Second Legions at one time.

Now that the trirees, which are more powerful than the twin ships, are already in the recruitment sequence, what Bai Feng has to do now is to prepare a larger number of longbowmen for these upcoming triremes;

A two-column battleship with limited space can only accommodate a hundred longbowmen at most, while a newly recruited three-column battleship can accommodate at least one hundred and fifty longbowmen, and ten double-lined ships will need at least fifteen hundred longbowmen.

With the production of longbows in Rome, the formation of a mere fifteen hundred longbowmen was only a trivial matter, and Bai Feng himself didn't care about this matter, he just sent Maxi with a team of young soldiers from the guard battalion to the bow workshop to get the required longbows.

After sending Maxi out, Bai Feng originally planned to take Darnell and the other cavalry of the guard battalion to the west bank of the Cangluo River to have a look, but the cavalry of the guard battalion had not yet been assembled, and Maxi came back alone not long after leaving.

It turned out that Maxi had led a group of young men to the bow workshop, and he had been warmly welcomed by the bow craftsmen, who recognized the Governor's inseparable retinue, and who had brought out their freshly made crossbows as if they had made them!

The crossbow is a weapon that Bai Feng attaches great importance to, although Maxi himself does not know what a crossbow is, but he knows that the governor attaches great importance to this crossbow, so he quickly handed over the task of receiving the longbow to the youth army, and hurried back to the governor's residence to report the news.
