"Chapter 48: Convening a Meeting"

Stupidity often leads people from the realm of happiness to the abyss of misery, but the wise often rely on wisdom to overcome the danger and embark on a smooth road. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info...... Human wisdom is the source of happiness.

- Giovanni Boccaccio (a prominent representative of the Italian Renaissance movement, a humanist)

The two legions of the city of Rome using the Macedonian phalanx must be different from the ordinary regular legions in terms of the new four-level formation, and their special formation must be specially organized, otherwise they will not be able to adapt to the combat mode of the Macedonian phalanx.

In this regard, Bai Feng also formulated another brand-new four-level establishment for these two legions, that is, two standard 64-man battle line soldiers are a 100-man team, 4 hundred-man teams are 512 people as a brigade, and two brigades are a wing.

In this case, the wings of the Cheetah Legion and the Tasya Legion would have one thousand and twenty-four men, which corresponded to the number of men in each standard phalanx, and the entire legion would consist of eight wings with a total strength of eight thousand one hundred and ninety-two.

These eight wings are four for the phalanx wing, one each for the infantry wing, the elite infantry wing, the cavalry wing, and the longbow wing, but this is still the original number of these two legions, and now Bai Feng intends to increase the combat effectiveness of these two legions.

After these recent battles, the value of longbowmen has been proven, and the Macedonian phalanx legions, which are mainly defensive, absolutely need to be equipped with more longbowmen, so Bai Feng intends to add a longbow wing to these two legions.

In addition to increasing the number of longbowmen of these two legions, Bai Feng felt that the core of the Macedonian phalanx was the frontal attack of the spear phalanx and the flank attack of the cavalry troops, and the combination of these two offensive methods could truly give full play to the power of the Macedonian phalanx.

At present, the cavalry strength of the Cheetah Legion and the Tasya Legion is still too weak, and it is difficult for a cavalry of about a thousand to play a decisive role on the battlefield, and they can't even barely cooperate with the phalanx, who makes them ordinary light cavalry?

Alexander the Great's Macedonian phalanx was attacked by partner cavalry, while the Macedonian phalanx of Rome was assisted by barbarian light cavalry.

In order to increase the comprehensive offensive capability of the Macedonian phalanx, Bai Feng decided to increase the number of longbowmen of these two legions, and also add a cavalry wing to their establishment to strengthen the combat effectiveness of these two legions.

After considering the establishment of the regular legion and the Macedonian phalanx legion, the establishment of the Nelson legion was simple, and Bai Feng planned to directly copy the establishment of the regular legion, and divide the Nelson's Roman spear legion into several cavalry wings of two thousand people.

The establishment of all the regular armies in Rome had been determined, and Bai Feng, who could not be idle, turned his attention to the town guards of the towns directly under the city of Rome, and each town guard was composed of a Roman youth army and two groups of town militia.

Mainly because Bai Feng was anxious to lead the army to the Aceni Kingdom, and he was worried about the instability in the rear, so he wasted the Roman youth army sent to the town guard; now that the main army of Rome City has returned to Rome, the establishment of the town guard should also be reformulated.

As the highest-level army that can be recruited in the new stage of Roman City, the Roman Youth Army will definitely be transferred back by Bai Feng, and the town guards with only two teams of town militia left are naturally not enough to take on the heavy responsibility, and Bai Feng wants to add a certain number of barbarian warriors to the town guards.

According to Bai Feng's idea, he planned to add two infantry brigades of barbarian warriors to each town guard, and the barbarian warriors of these two brigades were under the command of two groups of town militia, and with this new formation, he would form the town guards of these towns.

As for the establishment of the town guard, it was within the scope of the government affairs of the city of Rome, and Bai Feng would not discuss this matter with the captains of the army of the city of Rome at all;

After Licinius' First Legion and Antio's Doge's Guard returned to Rome, Bai Feng directly transferred Perris, who was temporarily subordinate to the First Legion, to the Doge's Guard, and the two thousand most elite longbowmen under Perris's command went to the Doge's Guard.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Perris, who has made many achievements in battle, is about to become the new commander of the Doge's Guard, and as for Antio's new position, it is not for outsiders to know, after all, Bai Feng's trust in Licinius and Antio is also obvious to everyone.

After the establishment of the town guard was determined, the six towns currently directly under the city of Rome needed to add two new groups of town militia and 6,000 barbarian warriors, the former Bai Feng would recruit two teams, and the latter would be drawn from Upton's army first.

That night, Bai Feng called Upton and Antio, and when Upton learned that Bai Feng was going to send 6,000 soldiers under his command to supplement the six town guards in Rome, he did not hesitate to take Antio to his military camp to draw soldiers.

Over the next few days, Antio was tasked with reorganizing the newly recruited 6,000 soldiers into twelve brigades, and then personally sending them to the town guards stationed in various towns, and bringing all the Roman youth from the original town guards back to Rome.

After giving this order to Upton and Antio, Bai Feng sent Maxi and Darnell to the various military camps outside the city to inform the commanders of the various legions to come to the governor's palace to discuss matters, and Eggers, who was far away on the east bank of the Cangluo River, did not have time to attend this important meeting.

In fact, it was not a big deal whether or not to attend this meeting, because it was just a meeting where Bai Feng announced the new establishment and several appointments of the various legions, and the generals who attended the meeting were here to listen, not to give their opinions.

Soon, Licinius, Bazel, Brono and other generals came to the Governor's Mansion one after another, and Leonidas and Perris, who were specially cared for by Bai Feng, also came to the Governor's Palace;

After all the generals came to the council hall, Bai Feng also came to the council hall from his room with the newly organized organization, and Bai Feng, who lacked a secretary, did not copy several copies of his compiled organization, so there was no way to distribute a copy to each general.

As Bai Feng walked into the council hall, the generals who were originally talking loudly also quickly restrained the smiles on their faces and sat down in their seats; Bai Feng, who was not very old, had unparalleled absolute authority in the city of Rome, and this scene was the best embodiment.

"I have summoned you to the Doge's Palace tonight, on the one hand, to recognize your contributions to the city of Rome in the previous two battles, and on the other hand, to discuss something with you. ”

Bai Feng, who had just sat down, directly opened his mouth to set the tone of tonight's meeting, first rewarding the generals present, and then talking about business;
