Chapter 61: "·Army Expansion Plan"

Reason is the most valuable treasure of the gods and mortals.
Sophocles (Athens, one of the three tragic writers in Athens)
Black cloak, black square shield, black leather helmet, black leather armor, plus a straight spear, this is clearly the image of the standard Roman Republic infantry in TV series and movies!
If the military uniforms and weapons of these soldiers were red, it would be exactly the same as the Roman Republic infantry that Bai Feng saw in TV series and movies; even if everything was red, they would shock Bai Feng. Endlessly.
You have to know that Bai Feng never recruited town militia while playing games. The image of town militia in Bai Feng’s mind has always been a junk unit with a combat power only better than that of farmers; when Bai Feng played the game, the biggest regret was Rome The Roman faction in the total war is very different from the real image of the Roman army.
In the later period of development, the image of the Roman legionary infantry in the game is very similar to the actual image of the late Roman Empire army; however, no military units in the game before the Mallorian reform can match the image of the Roman army in the era of the Roman Republic.
Bai Feng really did not expect that the town militias that had always been regarded as chicken ribs appeared in the image of Roman Republic infantry. Even if the actual combat effectiveness of these town militias was not as good as the youth army, Bai Feng already liked them based on their image. .
After the first team of urban militia was recruited, in order to verify the combat effectiveness of the urban militia, the team of the youngest army with the largest military strength conducted a competition with the urban militia. The famous town militia confronted each other.
The youth army did not use the javelin, and it was relatively fair to compete with the town militia; although the square shield of the town militia was not as strong as that of the youth army, their spears were better than the youth army. The dagger is much longer.
The result of the competition was that 144 youth soldiers won, 160 town militiamen were "completely wiped out" in battle, and the price paid by the youth soldiers for this was 74 youth soldiers killed, and the remaining 70 youth soldiers were also killed. Almost everyone was injured.
This is of course only a conceptual comparison, and cannot be used to measure the real combat effectiveness of these two arms; if in the real battle, the javelin volleys of the young army before the attack can definitely kill part of the urban militia, plus The militia in the upper towns cannot really fight to the end, and the actual casualty figures of the youth army should be much smaller.
But in any case, the combat effectiveness of the town militia is good, at least much stronger than Bai Feng imagined; after all, the recruitment cost of the town militia is only 150 gold, and the recruitment cost of the youth army is as high as 440 gold, which is close to Three times the difference!
If three teams of urban militia are recruited with the funds to recruit one team of youth army, then the three teams of urban militia will definitely play a stronger role on the battlefield than one team of youth army; but if the maintenance cost is considered, the youth army needs 170 Gold, and the urban militia also needs 100 gold, which has a bad impact on the cost performance of the urban militia.
In addition, there is another factor that Bai Feng has to consider, that is, the size of the city’s army; the size of the city’s army must be in proportion to the size of the city’s population, which means that Before the population size reaches a certain level, Bai Feng must take the elite route, which is also a frustrating choice determined by the actual situation.
Considering that it is impossible for the Roman city to enter the stage of a big town for a while, it is natural that the town barracks that can only be built in a big town are Bai Feng’s thoughts; since the Roman youth army can only be recruited after the town barracks are built. Cannot be recruited within a time, then the town militia available for recruitment is the arm that Bai Feng had to recruit.
The current population of the city of Rome is still under three thousand. By the end of this month, the temple of Apollo can summon another 500 people; by that time, the population of the city of Rome can break through the three thousand people and can recruit troops. It will also reach more than 450 people.
Each team of urban militia has 160 people. Three teams of urban militia are 480 people. They are still within the tolerance of Rome. Bai Feng intends to recruit two teams of urban militia after the end of this month. To expand the military strength of the city of Rome.
Once the road was built in the city of Rome, Bai Feng immediately worked with the Tasi tribe to build the road between the Tasi tribal camp and the city of Rome; after the road is built, the scale of the trade between the two sides will further expand, but Risks will follow.
After all, the location of the Roman city is a barbarian land full of barbarian tribes. Even if the Tasiya tribe indicates that there are no other barbarian tribes in the nearby area, Bai Feng can’t guarantee that there will be no other tribes in this small area. .
In order to ensure the safety of this trade road, Bai Feng intends to deploy the three recruited town militiamen on this trade road; in the future, these three town militiamen will travel back and forth between the Roman city and the Tasia tribal camp, responsible for patrolling and protecting this Trade roads.
While busy with these things every day, Bai Feng did not forget to work hard to cultivate spiritual power and sword skills, which is also the most favorable guarantee for Bai Feng to survive in this world; in Bai Feng's view, any external force is not as powerful as its own protection. Coming security.
What's more, the task that Bai Feng needs to complete is not only to develop the city of Rome, but to improve his strength as soon as possible is also one of the tasks that Bai Feng needs to complete. Bai Feng naturally wants to focus on this aspect of cultivation.
With the help and guidance of Yueer, Bai Feng’s cultivation speed is still very good. Although Bai Feng’s recent improvement in sword skills is not very fast, the speed of spiritual power realm is still good. The end of this month has already arrived. The realm of a first-level intermediate swordsman!
With the end of this month, the roads of the Roman city were formally completed; before starting the construction of the next building, Bai Feng ordered the financial report that appeared on the property panel of the Roman city as usual.
