"Chapter 44: Military Composition"
The night sky is particularly quiet when there are stars, the green fields and mountains in spring are even more colorful with flowers and lush trees, and the elegant manners and conversations are added to the humor by witty language. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
- Giovanni Boccaccio (a prominent representative of the Italian Renaissance movement, a humanist)
Returning from the hinterland of the Iceni kingdom to the camp of Queen Boudicca on the east bank of the Cangluo River, Bai Feng led a large army for twenty days, mainly the cavalry that had been captured last time, and their horses played an important role in the march.
Another tool that plays an important role is the Bai Ling Ring on Bai Feng's hand, the existence of this Bai Ling Ring makes Bai Feng's army completely unnecessary to waste manpower and material resources to transport food, only Bai Feng needs to bring enough food.
When the swaying army arrived at Queen Boudicca's camp, White Peak first had Nabazani and Assam's army stationed near Queen Boudicca's camp, and Joshuaer's Aceni Army was returned to Queen Boudicca.
The army of Rome was preparing to cross the river with more than 46,000 infantry prisoners and more than 7,000 cavalry prisoners, and Allen's fleet once again became the vehicle for the Roman army to cross the river.
Now that the threat of the Aceni Kingdom has been completely eliminated, and when the army problem at hand is dealt with, Bai Feng will set about building a port on the east bank of the Cangluo River to strengthen the connection between the city of Rome and the Aceni Kingdom.
With more than 55,000 captives and a large number of troops in the city of Rome itself, it was impossible to return to the west bank of the Cangluo River in one day, and it would take at least three days to gradually cross the river.
Along with Bai Feng were the Doge's Guard of Anteo and the Eagle Legion of Eggers, the former to protect Bai Feng, and the latter to be left by Bai Feng to talk about things, and Eggers' position in the Aceni Kingdom could play an important role.
On the evening of his return to the camp, Bai Feng was invited by Queen Boudicca to attend an internal meeting of the Kingdom of Ethini, the so-called internal meeting, that is, a meeting between Queen Boudicca, Nabazani, Assam, and Joshuael.
When Bai Feng came to this meeting, he naturally brought Eggers with him, so that except for Bai Feng, the other people in the conference room were all old acquaintances, and there was no need to introduce anything.
During the day, Queen Boudicca had already told Nabazani and Assam all about the relationship between the Kingdom of Essini and the city of Rome, so they were not surprised that Bai Feng had come to participate in tonight's meeting, but they couldn't suppress the sadness in their hearts.
The issue that needs to be discussed tonight is nothing more than the number and composition of the army of the Aceni Kingdom in the future, and the current Essini Kingdom, including the forces of Queen Boudicca, has a total of about 50,000 troops, and the number of young and strong is even more.
While Queen Boudicca, Nabazani, and Assam were talking about other things, Bai Feng first opened the vassal power attribute table of Rome City, and Queen Boudicca's Aceni tribe had indeed become the reunited Aceni Kingdom!
Vassal: Essini Kingdom (Normal)
Region: Eastern Region of the Savage Lands
Faction Leader: Queen Boudicca (Junior High Swordsman)
Population: 645893
Force strength: 55,747 warriors (including apprentice swordsmen and above)
Forces: 45,763 soldiers (Joshuel, Nabazani, Assam)
Force Loyalty: 50 (up to 100)
Compared with the miserable loyalty, Bai Feng still cares more about the population and the number of young people in the Aceni Kingdom, and the Aceni Kingdom can become one of the three major overlords in the eastern region, and their foundation is really strong!
Even after five years of devastating invasion of the West Bank and eight years of civil war, the total population of the Aceni Kingdom was still as high as 640,000, and not only was the total population huge, but Bai Feng was also shocked by their young and strong numbers.
You must know that the Acenian kingdom under Francis lost about 200,000 troops in the two wars with the city of Rome, and this does not include their losses in the civil war, but they are still large in numbers and troops.
However, there is no doubt about one thing, that is, the kingdom of Essines could never devote most of its young men to military affairs like the city of Rome, and their backward production capacity doomed them to put a large number of young men into production to survive.
On the question of how many troops the Essini Kingdom needs to maintain in the future, both Nabazani and Assam insist that the Essini Kingdom needs to have at least about 100,000 troops, while Queen Boudicca thinks that the Essini Kingdom should not have more than 50,000 troops.
The former wants to continue to maintain the status of the Acenian Kingdom, and the latter is proposed for the current situation of the Aceni Kingdom; as the governor of Rome, Bai Feng did not put forward his own ideas, but chose to support your Queen Dica.
Queen Boudicca, who was originally the king of the Essini Kingdom, and now has the support of White Peak and the city of Rome, Nabazani and Assam, who are unwilling, have no choice but to accept Queen Boudicca's opinion;
The so-called composition of the army is nothing more than which generals should be in command of the army of the Acenian Kingdom in the future; in the final analysis, it is the distribution of military power among the three generals of Nabazani, Assam, and Joshur, and this is the real purpose of tonight's meeting.
Bai Feng, who had already had a draft in his heart, didn't listen to others discuss it this time, and as soon as this topic began, Bai Feng did not hesitate to put forward his own idea, that is, the army of the Essini Kingdom was divided into four parts, and the generals were under their respective commands.
Among them, General Nabazani will be the commander of the First Legion of the Essini Kingdom, and General Assam will be the commander of the Second Legion of the Essini Kingdom, and the establishment of these two legions is set at 10,000 men, both of which belong to the regular legions of the Essini Kingdom.
The corps commanded by General Joshuel was called the Third Legion of the Aceni Kingdom, but the actual number of troops was as high as 20,000, and Nabazani and Assam naturally had opinions about this, and Bai Feng's explanation was that the establishment of this legion was based on the existing armies of each general.
Nabazani and Assam, who were speechless, had no choice but to suffer this loss, and how could they not bow their heads under the eaves? In addition to the 40,000 troops of these three generals, Bai Feng also specially prepared a personal guard army for Queen Boudicca herself.
This personal guard legion is also an establishment of 10,000 people, consisting of 6,000 elite infantry and 4,000 elite cavalry; 6,000 elite infantry is enough to be directly selected from the existing army of the Aceni Kingdom, and the 4,000 elite cavalry is drawn from the prisoners by Bai Feng.
In the face of Bai Feng's arrangement, Queen Boudicca, Eggers, and Joshuel had no opinion, and even if Nabazani and Assam had an opinion, they could not be taken seriously, so the future military strength and composition of the Essini Kingdom were determined by Bai Feng.
