Assamese, Atabaz, Nabazani and other three generals of the divided side were reassigned to Francis, which not only allowed Francis to complete the great cause of unifying the Aceni Kingdom, but also made the number of troops under his command exceed 250,000!

Of the 250,000 men, 30,000 elite cavalry and 100,000 infantry belonged to Francis, 40,000 under General Assam, 30,000 under General Atabaaz, and 50,000 under the most powerful general, General Nabazani.

Francis, who had received the allegiance of the three generals, showed his generosity as a king, and he put aside all the previous wars, and even the armies under the command of these three generals were still under their own command.

Although the generals of the Aceni kingdom believed that King Francis had reunited the Acenian kingdom, Francis himself did not feel that he had completely unified the Aceni kingdom, and he thought of his sister Boudicca, who had fled westward.

The ambitious Francis did not want anything to be missing from his unified Esceni Kingdom, what he wanted was the complete unification of the entire Esceni Kingdom, and any divided forces were not acceptable to him, including his own sister.

When he killed his two younger brothers with his own hands, Francis did not have the slightest soft-heartedness, not to mention Boudicca's sister, Francis, who used to be a brother, has become a loner under the devouring of power, and he no longer needs any relatives.

Francis, who was determined to truly unify the Essini Kingdom, officially led a fully equipped army of 150,000 troops two months after annexing the other five forces, and began to pursue from the eastern hinterland of the Aceni Kingdom in the direction of Queen Boudicca's westward migration.

Of the fifteen armies that Francis personally commanded, only 30,000 cavalry directly belonged to him, and the other 120,000 infantry soldiers were all from Assam and other three generals, and they were commanded by themselves.

The camp of Queen Boudicca, unaware of the attack of the enemy, was still immersed in their peaceful life without worrying about food and clothing, and even the only army of 20,000 in the entire camp remained in Rome for training.

Thankfully, Queen Boudicca had always been very wary of sneaking up on her three older brothers, and had some daily trained cavalry scattered fifty miles east of the camp, enough to spot any enemy who wanted to attack her camp in advance.

Bai Feng, who did not anticipate the next situation in Rome City, was still thinking about how to use the weapons and equipment produced by the Rome City Blacksmith Shop every month more efficiently, which was a major event that played a vital role in improving the combat effectiveness of the Roman City army.

From last month to this month, the warehouses in Rome City have stored the weapons and equipment produced by the blacksmith shop for two months, but Bai Feng doesn't know who to give these sophisticated weapons and equipment to use, or rather, Bai Feng doesn't know how to use them.

Because among the weapons and equipment produced by the blacksmith shop in the city of Rome every month, the only things that were really valuable to those barbarian warriors were the five hundred sets of warrior equipment composed of short swords, battle armor, and square shields, and the other bows and arrows and super long spears were of little significance.

Since Bai Feng made the special and powerful weapon of the Leng Huai longbow, the value of ordinary bows and arrows has almost disappeared, and no one wants to equip any army, and the status of super long spears is even more embarrassing, who made them too demanding for the formation type.

Before the training of the Spartan hoplites, the phalanx of pikemen in Gattus could not be as useful on the battlefield as ordinary barbarian warriors, and the other legions did not have the same treatment as the Cheetah Legion.

Only the 500 sets of warrior equipment are a good thing that every legion wants, which is mainly determined by the current situation of the barbarian warriors; with the production level of the barbarian tribes in the barbarian land, they simply do not have the ability and technology to build defensive armor.

All the warriors of the barbarian forces that Bai Feng had seen were unarmored sword and shield warriors, and these warriors who showed bravery on the battlefield each held a log shield in their left hand and a long sword in their right hand, and they were wearing a cloth garment with no defense at all.

Compared to the armor and weapons of the Roman army, the weapons of the barbarian warriors are quite sharp, and the armor is completely non-existent; even if the barbarian warriors who have joined the Roman city, all Bai Feng can give them is a black cloth uniform.

How to use the weapons and equipment produced in the blacksmith shop in Rome City to improve the combat effectiveness of the barbarian warriors in Rome City has naturally become Bai Feng's concern, but it is a pity that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and Bai Feng has no way to conjure up a large number of weapons and equipment out of thin air!

After thinking about it and not being able to think of a better way, Bai Feng decided to use the Cheetah Legion as an experimental legion, and if the Cheetah Legion could really exert the combat effectiveness of the Macedonian phalanx under the training of the Spartan heavy infantry, then Bai Feng would promote the Macedonian phalanx on a large scale.

Bazel's Tigers, Eggers' Eagles, Brono's Dragons, and Gamilios's Tasyas, all four of these legions will have to form a special Macedonian phalanx in order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of their respective legions.

With the production of weapons and equipment from the blacksmiths in the city of Rome, it took two months to produce 4,000 extra-long spears and 4,000 small round shields needed for a standard Macedonian phalanx, as well as 1,000 sets of warrior equipment, and it would take eight months to arm these four legions.

As for the training of the Macedonian phalanx, it still has to be left to the Spartan heavy infantry to solve, Bai Feng really can't think of a more suitable for training pikemen than the Spartan heavy infantry, their combat effectiveness in this area is simply terrifying!

The recent increase in the combat effectiveness of the Cheetah Legion is obvious and amazing, and the weapons and equipment in the warehouses of Rome City are enough to form another Macedonian phalanx, so Bai Feng ordered the transfer back of Gamilios' Tasya Legion.

The rotation of the four Tuntian legions, coupled with the stationing of the Hobulo Guard and the Vasco Guard, gave Bai Feng a lot of trust in the newly established Hobulo Town and Vasco Town, and they basically no longer had the strength to resist the rule of the Roman City.

The Tasya Legion was roughly the same number as the Cheetah Legion, with only 10,000 soldiers, while a standard Macedonian phalanx was a combined battle formation of 8,192 soldiers, who were sufficient in number.

After that, it was the specific class formation, four phalanxes composed of 4,096 ultra-long pikemen, 1,024 unarmored sword and shield warriors, 1,024 elite warriors in battle armor, 1,024 cold locust longbowmen, 1,024 new cavalry, and finally the remaining mobile troops of the corps commander.

The almost identical Macedonian phalanx was accepted by the soldiers of the Tassia Legion, the only difference may be that their legion has a thousand more mobile troops than the Cheetah Legion, and now it is time for Bai Feng to find a trainer for them.
