The open area where the forces of Rome City are connected to the Werther tribe is a buffer zone between Bai Feng and the Werther tribe deliberately created by Bai Feng, and it is also a helpless move for the forces of Rome to passively respond to the military threat of the Werther tribe.
Even in the road construction plan of the city of Rome, the roads that needed to be built in the city of Rome itself and the kingdom of Esine would build a permanent military fortress in the border area connected to the Vitte tribe, and the purpose of this was self-evident.
However, all of these passive defensive measures were based on the inability of the city to expand outward in a short period of time, and now the power of the city of Rome has an excellent means of quickly increasing the combat effectiveness of the army.
This also means that the city of Rome has the strength to expand outward again, and the military threat of the Vitte tribe to the city of Rome can be completely solved by military means; in view of this, Bai Feng naturally has to adjust the policy of the city of Rome towards the Vitte tribe.
Considering the special geographical location of the Werther tribe, the large-scale attack of the Roman city on the Werther tribe can be started from three aspects: the first aspect is the attack of the main force of the Roman city on the west of the river (west of the Cangluo River), where the main strength of the Werther tribe is located.
The second aspect was the attack of the allied forces of the Kingdom of Esine and the city of Rome on the east side of the river, where the secondary strength of the Vitte tribe was located, and in addition, the naval fleet of the Roman city could also forcibly divide the Werther tribe in two by blocking the Cangluo River.
The third aspect of the offensive was still to use the most advantageous naval fleet in Rome, and the trading fleets of Alan and Ike could transport the Roman raid force of the two legions to land and attack the large rear of the Virther tribe.
At that time, the two armies of Rome and Esini attacked the Werther tribe from the front to the south at the same time, and even with the strength of the Werther tribe, they had to gather all their military strength to deal with the two invasion armies from the north to the south.
At the same time, the sneak attack troops of the two legions of the city of Rome could march all the way to the empty rear of the Vitus tribe, so that the military spirit of the army of the Werther tribe would soon collapse, and the victory of the war in the city of Rome was also inevitable.
However, in order to implement this new strategy, the city of Rome had to meet three necessary conditions, the first two of which were required by the city itself, and the last of which required the cooperation of the Acenian kingdom.
First of all, the naval fleet of the city of Rome needed to be expanded again, because in the future war, the fleet of the city of Rome would have to send warships to block the eastern alliance and the western part of the river, and send warships to block the east and west of the river of the Vitte tribe.
In addition, Alan and Ike's trade fleet also needed a certain number of warships to escort them, and if it was only shoddy, the fleet of Rome City would have more than sixty warships ready to be called upon.
Among them, ten warships are needed to blockade the river section between the Luxi tribe and the Roman city, twenty warships are needed to blockade the eastern alliance and the Roman city to the river, at least ten warships are needed to block the connection between the east and west of the river of the Werther tribe, and ten warships are needed to escort the two trade fleets, which is the need for fifty warships.
Surprises had to be taken into account when formulating a strategy, and in order for Rome to have the military strength to deal with all kinds of accidents at any time, it was also necessary to have at least ten mobile warships.
At present, the fleet of Rome City is composed of twenty double warships and twenty double battleships, so in the next preparation stage, Bai Feng also needs to recruit at least twenty new warships for the Roman City fleet to join the battle sequence.
Before launching a military attack on the Werther tribe, all the main legions of Rome had to complete a new round of special training to improve the combat effectiveness of each legion.
Except for Upton and his lion legion, which had been abandoned by Bai Feng, the captains of the other legions all had a fairly high loyalty to Bai Feng, which was enough for Bai Feng to rest assured that he would boldly train the barbarian army in Rome City on a large scale.
Of course, the most important thing in war is to know oneself and the enemy, and if you want to completely eliminate the military threat of the Werther tribe through a war, then a detailed understanding of the Werther tribe is crucial.
Bai Feng, who had taken precautions, had sent a considerable number of battlefield ghosts to the Werther tribe a few months ago, and these battlefield ghosts had only stayed in the Hedong region of the Werther tribe when they were investigating.
If Rome City wants to fully control the details of the Werther tribe, Bai Feng must recruit more battlefield ghosts to devote themselves to the secret investigation of the Werther tribe;
Finally, and most crucially, a necessary condition, or a condition that cannot be fully controlled by Bai Feng, is the joint attack of the city of Rome and the kingdom of Aceni, which is not only the internal military affairs of the city of Rome, but Bai Feng cannot do whatever he wants.
Although the Aceni Kingdom was nominally a vassal power of the Roman city, in fact the Aceni Kingdom was still very autonomous, especially under the premise that there were still some nobles in the Aceni Kingdom who were more exclusive to the Roman city.
Among the 50,000 troops possessed by the Aceni Kingdom, the only ones that could really be used for the city of Rome were the 20,000 soldiers of General Joshuaer's Third Legion, the First Legion of Nabazani and the Second Legion of Assam, and it was impossible for them to be loyal to the city of Rome.
The most elite and most powerful guards of the Iceni Kingdom were the foundation of strength necessary for Queen Boudicca to maintain her rule, and it was impossible for Bai Feng to transfer this army to the use of the city of Rome unless it was absolutely necessary.
Vassal: Essini Kingdom (Normal)
Region: Eastern Region of the Savage Lands
Faction Leader: Queen Boudicca (Junior High Swordsman)
Population: 538569
Force Strength: 75,450 warriors (including apprentice swordsmen and above)
Forces: 50,000 soldiers (Joshuel, Nabazani, Assam)
Force Loyalty: 80 (up to 100)
After a few months of recuperation, the overall strength of the Acenian Kingdom has been significantly restored, and the increase in its total population is only one aspect, but more importantly, the number of troops available for recruitment has increased significantly.
Even if the strength of this force, including Qingzhuang, is only a conceptual data, and it is the human base that the Aceni Kingdom cannot all turn into an army, it is still a clear proof that the Aceni Kingdom is becoming stronger day by day.
A subordinate power that is gradually becoming stronger is not a bad thing for the current city of Rome, as long as the city of Rome has the strong strength to absolutely crush the Aceni kingdom, the stronger the Aceni kingdom, the greater the help it can provide to the city of Rome!
