Roman Empire of Total War

In a modern nation-state, if its most powerful decision-makers are produced through fair, honest, and regular elections, and in such elections, candidates can freely fight for votes, and in fact every adult citizen has Right to vote, then this country has a democratic system.

——Joseph Schumpeter (Austrian political economist)

The normal development of military power has kept the Roman city that has no plans for external military use at the stage of rapid economic development; the increasing stability of the twelve new towns has not only increased the overall prosperity of the Roman forces, but also increased the food output and reserves of the Roman forces. manpower.

There are 18 directly-owned towns under the city of Rome, each of which has a large military area dedicated to the production of military food; from the six-field area to the eighteen-field area, the annual grain output of the Roman city has more than quadrupled. Enough to support more than 8 million people.

The calm and tranquil Cangluo River, while providing a large area of ​​the military settlement for the Roman city, also provided the ordinary people under the Roman city with a lot of fertile land for cultivation; the barbarians who entered the farming society, the first A true self-sufficiency was achieved at once.

If the construction time of the 18th Army Tun District was too short, and there was no long-term reserve of military food, lead the army to recover the four Baifengs in the occupied provinces one by one, and only need to allocate military food from the warehouse in the city of Rome to easily solve 20 million refugees. The problem of food and clothing.

After a year of rest and recuperation, the barbarian people under the rule of Rome have reached nearly 2.3 million; among them, the barbarian youths who can take up arms for Baifeng at any time are between 400,000 and 500,000. .

The barbarian fighters who are serving in the army are as high as 266,000, consisting of four field corps, three phalanx corps, two cavalry corps, governor's guard, and the 12,500 long archers and naval forces. The 30,000 archers to which the Roman legion belongs.

When it comes to the Governor’s Guard, you have to mention the powerful crossbow team in the Governor’s Guard; the crossbow workshop in Rome has built more than 8,000 qualified standard crossbows in the past year, except for the crossbow team. With the loss of training, there are still eight thousand crossbows stored in the warehouse.

Eight thousand crossbows, fifteen thousand longbows, twenty-seven thousand sets of Roman youth standard weapons and equipment, and thirty thousand pieces of leather armor, this is all the weapons and equipment stored in the warehouse of the Roman city; 50,000 well-equipped army.

The crossbows and longbows are made by the crossbow workshop of the city of Rome, which specializes in the manufacture of crossbows. The standard weaponry of the Roman Youth Army comes from the monthly forging of the armor shop in the city of Rome; only the seam of 30,000 sets of leather armor The system is the result of the negotiation between Vipsani and Lucius.

The beasts spread all over the wild land, which poses no small threat to the caravans in the cities and towns under the Roman city; in order to protect the safety of the caravans, Vepsani, who is in charge of government affairs, makes a request to Luquiz, who is in charge of military affairs. Can send troops to strangle the beast.

As the old boss of Vepsani, or the person who cultivated Vepsani himself, Lucius did not refuse Vepsani’s request for the benefit of the city of Rome; the division of the Fifth Roman Legion strangled and emptied Rome in only half a year Beast in the sphere of influence.

When the piles of beasts of beasts were transported back to the city of Rome, Vipsani arranged on the one hand to marinate the meat of the beasts, and on the other hand, arranged for the tailors among the Roman city people to sew the peeled skins into pieces. Leather armor.

The sewn high-quality leather armor was first supplied to the auxiliary long archers of the five Roman legions, and then to the long archers of other troops; until all the long archers were replaced with this high-quality leather armor, the excess leather A was sent to the warehouse for storage.

Compared with the armor of the Roman Youth Army, which is extraordinary but relatively heavy, the light and flexible leather armor is undoubtedly more suitable for long archers; even the light cavalry and light infantry that pay attention to mobility can also use this kind of protection Fairly good leather armor.

On the night of checking the attributes of the Roman city, Bai Feng returned to the Roman city with the teleportation array of the white spirit ring under the guard of the flaming sword saint; the longbow, crossbow, and leather armor in the warehouse were all taken by Bai Feng Packed into the almost empty Bai Ling ring.

After the three days of New Year’s celebrations, the army of Bai Feng’s army resumed its original training state; the 18,000 recruits temporarily assigned to the personal guards were formed by Bai Feng, who changed his mind, into three directly affiliated archers and A direct team of crossbowmen.

The reason why Bai Feng decided to abandon his plan to train 18,000 recruits into a reserve army is because he feels that he has a serious lack of long-range strike power among the large number of troops under his command, which is very unfavorable for the more brutal battles that will follow.

The number of archers in the Imperial Army was not large, on the one hand because of the limited lethality of ordinary archers, on the other hand because the range of the archers is far less than the magician; the presence of the magician makes the archers Completely reduced to chicken ribs.

Especially on the eastern battlefield of the empire, the orc warriors far exceeded the amazing defensive power of humans, and the value of the archers was greatly reduced again; the archers who could hardly cause effective damage to the orcs were directly canceled by the legions stationed in the eastern empire prepared by.

The reason why Bai Feng decided to form the Archers and Crossbowmen Alliance is that the longbow and crossbow of the Roman city are completely different from the standard bows and arrows in the Imperial Army; the gap between the two is like a rifle and assault. Rifle in general.

The effective range of Lenghuai Longbow is three times that of the Imperial bow and arrow, and the lethality is five times that of the Imperial bow and arrow; the effective range of the crossbow is the same as that of the Imperial bow and arrow, and the lethality is 13 times that of the Imperial bow and arrow, which is Bai Feng Accurate data tested by yourself.

The facts in front of us mean that Bai Feng can enhance the actual combat effectiveness of his own army by forming long bow troops and crossbow troops; 18,000 far-reaching troops equipped with longbows and crossbows can cause damage to the orcs , Definitely bigger than four hundred magicians!

The magician's magic attack is certainly powerful, but their limited magic power is really difficult to support a long-term attack; more importantly, after the magician's magic power is consumed, it takes a long time for meditation to slowly recover.

Only this point, the long-bow troops and crossbow troops that continue to attack for a long time have far greater war potential than the magician; especially the easy-to-shoot crossbow troops, as long as the enemy does not enter the crossbow troops, the crossbowmen You can keep shooting.

The orc warriors with strong physical defense ability are not widely used in protective gears; when Bai Feng led the army to defend the sunset fortress, the number of orcs killed by Cretan archers and iron artillerymen was only higher than those killed by other troops. More and more is the most typical proof.

In view of this, Bai Feng made up his mind to form long bow troops and crossbow troops in the personal guards. As for the possibility of longbows and crossbows being discovered by others, the increasingly large-scale system army gave Bai Feng no worry about any People imitated the longbow and crossbow.

After the formation of three archer teams with five thousand soldiers and one crossbowman team with three thousand soldiers, the most urgent problem that Bai Feng needs to solve is to appoint suitable candidates for the four newly formed alliances. Captain.

The veterans of the wing, which is highly valued by Bai Feng, should have been the most suitable personnel selection range; considering the particularity of the archer and crossbow wing, Bai Feng after careful consideration, or decided to appoint a centurion of the system arms The captains of the four alliances.

The first self-growing system general in Rome was Paris, a Crete archer; now, Paris is the commander of the Lions’ Legion, and his strength and ability are no better than the system generals summoned from the Roman world. How inferior.

Looking at the two system generals in a comprehensive way, the system generals summoned from the Roman world have a relatively strong initial strength, and the system development self-growth generals have strong local development potential; for example, Li Xini can stand alone as soon as he appears, Leonida is particularly good at Defensive operations.

The three hundred captains of the three Cretan archers, Sasman, Minos and Greco, were appointed by Bai Feng as the captains of the first, second and third direct archers United; the Cretan bows under their command Hands, will follow them and join the Archers United.

The commander-in-chief of the Crossbowmen’s United Team is Amys who is the best performer in the battlefield among the four teams of the Roman Youth Army; at the same time, the four teams of the Roman Youth Army are also included in the Crossbowmen’s United The **** force of the team.

After the addition of four far-reaching wings, the number of direct wings of the personal guard reached nine, and the conventional strength increased to 38,000; plus the addition of twelve additional iron artillerymen, the total number of the personal guard The strength has exceeded 50,000, exceeding the strength of a royal legion!

Blindly pursuing an increase in quantity has no practical significance for a truly elite division, but will lower the overall strength of this unit; how to increase the quantity while improving the quality is an elite. The division's key to maintaining combat effectiveness.

On the tenth day after the New Year, when other legions were undergoing intensive training, Bai Feng ordered Lucurus to lead the nine direct wing of the personal guard to attack an orc army station 80 miles away from the border. .

This station was originally a very prosperous small town in the province of Mengdan. After the fall, it was brutally burnt and plundered by the orc army several times. The city with a population of more than 200,000 in the past has only less than eight. The people are struggling.

The orc army that lost more than 16,000 fighters in succession readjusted their deployment; the orc forces that were scattered around Mengdang province were concentrated in 13 locations by the commander of the orc army. Within the town.

Among them, the orc army stationed in this small town has 25,000 orc warriors, which is a major town with strong garrison strength among the 13 towns; and the reason for Bai Feng’s selection here is that this town is away from Mengdan Province The border is nearest.

Riding the army with 38,000 steps of the personal guards, and actively attacking the important town guarded by 25,000 orc warriors, it seems to others that it is just like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth; but insists that the soldiers are expensive but not expensive Bai Feng , Decided to hone his personal guard with a **** battle.

Of course, in order to ensure that the personal guards will not be hit hard by the orc army, Bai Feng, who is fully prepared, will lead the Yulin Corps and the system units of the personal guards, and march unhurriedly behind Lukurus, Reinforce the army of Lucurus at any time.

Facts have proved that the phrase "ideal is full of reality is cruel" also applies to Bai Feng, who opened the protagonist's aura; the 38,000 soldiers led by Lucurus, in the process of fighting with 25,000 orc warriors, It was defeated by the orc army's hard front!

At the beginning of the war, Lucurus, who was not weak in command, ordered Kabaye to lead the 5,000 cavalry of the cavalry wing to the hard infantry front of the orc warrior; as a result, the seemingly thundering cavalry charge only caused no damage to the orc army. The casualties to the death of five hundred soldiers.

Sadly, the price paid by the cavalry wing for this is that 1,200 cavalry soldiers stayed forever in the front of the orc army; killing the enemy 500 and losing the result of 1,200 made Luculus have to Withdraw the cavalry wing and directly dispatch the main infantry unit.

The morale of the four direct infantry wing is still good, at least not affected by the bad performance of the cavalry wing; the three archer wing and the crossbow wing are deployed on the wings of the main infantry unit, responsible for long-range strike Orc army opposite.

The overwhelming arrow rain strike of the 15,000 long archers should have caused heavy damage to the orc warriors who generally do not have armor; but the long archers who have not trained for a few days do not know how to shoot and shoot, nor how to play. Their range advantage.

The messy shooting and the sparse Lala arrow rain directly caused the orc warrior to rush to the defense line composed of four infantry wing without heavy damage; fortunately, the extremely powerful penetration of the crossbow at the critical moment played a large role.

At least two thousand orc warriors were shot by the arrows of the crossbowmen with the crossbowmen without precautions; then, the surging orc army forced Lukulus to protect himself immediately The archer team and the crossbowman team with insufficient abilities all retreated.

After successively ordering the withdrawal of the Cavalry Wings and the long-range troops, Lucurus, with his 16,000 infantry, and an army of orcs still up to 22,000, launched a **** death fight. war.

The orc warriors’ super-strong individual combat effectiveness is almost perfectly reflected in the fierce melee combat; the infantry guards of the desperate fighting, three of them besieging an orc warrior, will be killed by the **** orc warriors. At least two people.

In the one-on-one or two-on-one fight, the infantry of the personal guards are not opponents of the orc warriors at all. The intrepid orc warriors played the personal guards with only the ability to parry and did not fight back; the proportion of casualties on both sides was once Pull it to one to four!

Thousands of infantry soldiers were killed, the soldiers of the personal guards became more and more courageous; Thousands of infantry soldiers were killed, and the soldiers of the personal guards became more and more frightened; Five thousand infantry were killed, and the soldiers of the personal guards became more and more frightened; At that time, the personal guard was on the verge of collapse.

Six thousand soldiers were killed and more than four thousand soldiers were injured. The soldiers of the personal guard finally could not restrain their fear of the orc warriors, and began to defeat backwards.

By the time Bai Feng led his army to the battlefield, the defeat of the personal guard was a foregone conclusion; the disappointed Bai Feng first led the army to defeat the orc army that was intended to pursue the personal guard, and then sent reinforcements to help Lukurus gather the personal guard Defeat soldiers.

In just one and a half hours of fighting, the personal guards who first played after several military expansions killed less than 4,000 orc warriors, but nearly 8,000 soldiers killed themselves. The number of deaths of the guard will double again!

The pro-military guards who suffered a fiasco in the early battles suddenly awakened Bai Feng, who was too concerned about the number of troops in the recent period. The quality of the army is a more important measure of combat power than the number of troops. It's that simple.
