This meeting in the council hall did not allow Bai Feng to get any effective advice from the generals, but the order to prepare for war was still issued by Bai Feng, and the six legions of the city of Rome had one day to prepare for war, and the army needed to cross the river the day after tomorrow.

This sudden war will be a crucial war that will determine the future of the city of Rome, and Bai Feng, as the governor of the city of Rome, naturally wants to personally lead the army of the city of Rome to participate in the battle and win the war as much as possible.

Originally, Bai Feng planned to use the two teams of Spartan heavy infantry, four teams of Macedonian royal pikemen, and four teams of Macedonian royal cavalry to train barbarian pikemen and barbarian cavalry in the future, and they also needed to join this battle this time.

Gamilios's Tasya Legion was so poor in combat and its will to fight was more than a notch inferior to that of the other legions, and without the elite soldiers, they would not be able to play an important role on the battlefield.

Bai Feng's plan was to use the Tasya Legion and the Cheetah Legion as the absolute main force, using the strong defensive power of the Macedonian phalanx to deal with a large-scale enemy attack, and to win a precious opportunity for the heavy troops on the right flank to crush the enemy's left flank.

The Macedonian phalanx of the Cheetah Legion is well trained, and if they are allowed to use the Macedonian phalanx to take the initiative to attack, they may not be enough to become a decisive force on the battlefield;

Bai Feng believed that Gatus's Cheetah Legion, led by two Spartan heavy infantry teams, would be able to play a mainstay role in frontal combat, while as for Gamilios' Tasya, White Peak could only use four Macedonian royal pikemen as the core.

After arriving on the battlefield, many specific troop arrangement issues still need to be adjusted according to the actual situation, and Bai Feng has not thought about what tactics to use to deal with the enemy's attack for the time being, but some preparations still have to be made from now.

Licinius's First Legion is the main force that Bai Feng intends to use to support the left flank of his own army, except for the twelve Roman youth army that has been restored to full strength, the remaining 8,000 barbarian warriors will pick up the Leng Huai longbow and turn it into a longbowman with amazing attack power.

The ten twin ships of Rome occupied 1,000 longbowmen of the 3,000 elite longbowmen, and the other 2,000 longbowmen were to form a phalanx of 10,000 longbowmen of the 1st legion of 8,000 temporary longbowmen.

The maximum range of the Leng Huai Longbow is 400 meters, which is enough to take a minute for the enemy infantry to charge with all their might, and this minute can allow the longbowmen to shoot at least a dozen rounds of arrows, which is more than 100,000 arrows with incredible lethality!

Even if every ten arrows could kill one enemy soldier, it would be enough to wipe out tens of thousands of enemy soldiers at once, and when the enemy army approached, the Roman youth soldiers of the First Legion should play their role, and their shield wall was not so easy to breach.

Once the youth army on the left flank gets tangled with the enemy, these 8,000 temporary longbowmen can throw away the longbows in their hands and draw their long swords from their waists to join the battle, anyway, Bai Feng has prepared a pot of arrows for them, and after shooting them, they will be infantry soldiers.

The true elite longbowmen were different, even if they were in a scorching state of battle in the forward direction, and their combat mission was to shoot at the rear of the enemy with their longbows, in short, they always shot with their longbows unless the enemy was close to them.

Such a large-scale battle is the best opportunity for any new general on the battlefield to learn from the experience, and the longbowman commander Peris has high hopes for Bai Feng, this time he will be the commander of the 10,000 longbowmen, and the rest of the youth army will still be under the command of Licinius.

From the eyes of this young green-robed general, Bai Feng could clearly see loyalty and self-confidence, he was also a general from the system, there was no reason why Bai Feng should not give him a chance, the city of Rome needed more talents from the system.

Just by relying on the summoning attribute of the Temple of Apollo, the system talents in Rome City will become extremely scarce, and the people outside the system are not so easy to be trusted by Bai Feng, so Bai Feng, who is helpless, has to find out some system talents himself.

Peris was not the first new general to be entrusted with the task by Bai Feng, the guards who had been sent to the five small towns before, and it was the centurion of the Roman youth army in the guard who was responsible for commanding them, and his official position was that of the commander of the guard.

The five town guards are the five commanders, and they are all system generals promoted by Bai Feng himself, although this promotion has not been recognized by the system, but Bai Feng believes that the recognition of the system is something that will inevitably happen as they grow.

No matter how much this Roman City system has changed compared to the game system that Bai Feng is familiar with, many essential things will not change, and if the system can recognize the existence of followers, why can't the promoted generals be recognized?

When he first played the Roman Total War, Bai Feng would often use a generalless army to fight when there was a lack of generals, and as long as this group of soldiers could defeat a powerful enemy army, or make some great achievements, their main general would be promoted.

That kind of promotion is a family member recognized by the system, and they all have their own generals and guards, which are no different from normal family members and generals; adoption and son-in-law are not reliable for Bai Feng, but this kind of promotion Bai Feng feels is feasible.

The decisive battle that is about to start with Francis is the best testing ground for Bai Feng, and if the 10,000 longbowmen led by Peris can establish miraculous feats in this battle, then whether he can become a general recognized by the system will be the key to Bai Feng's future training of generals.

If he successfully becomes a general recognized by the system, Bai Feng will train more system generals according to this model, and if he cannot become a general recognized by the system, Bai Feng will completely cancel his plan to train generals on his own.

The reason why Bai Feng has such confidence in the longbowmen under the command of Peris is because of the experience of successful British longbowmen on Earth, and in the Hundred Years' War between England and France, the British longbowmen definitely had a better record than any other class.

In particular, in the famous Battle of Agincourt, the British army used 900 foot knights and 5,000 longbowmen against the French army of 36,000 crossbowmen, 18,000 foot cavalry, and 11,000 heavy cavalry.

The English lost only thirteen knights and more than a hundred longbowmen, while the French nobles alone lost more than 5,000 soldiers, including three dukes and five counts, and even the marshals of the army were captured and finally died in prison, which became a great shame for the whole of France!
