Chapter 824

In fact, the Han people must admit that although the Roman army is so boring, the army is not an acrobatic troupe. It doesn't need a cool way of performance. The key is to win in the most appropriate way.

After everything reaches the level of returning to nature, that is the most effective and practical method.

It's like a policeman catching a thief. He can catch it as soon as he pounces on it. Why should he deliberately let go, and then staged a wonderful street chase. After all kinds of breathtaking efforts and adventures, he finally caught the thief who could have been caught as soon as he pounced. Is he flexible, or is he trying to prove his strength, or is there a camera next to him?

"It was with this monotonous method of warfare that they became the overlord of Europa." Wang Meng continued to watch and commented: "being able to organize the formation shows that they are well-trained. After forming the formation, they can respond and adjust in time according to various situations, which also shows that they do not lack practical experience."

Then there's nothing wrong.

A general has mastered the knowledge and skills of troop arrangement, but not every army can arrange troops. He needs to undergo strict and serious training and repeatedly clamor to practice the array all year round. Not to mention that every soldier knows where he should go when he hears or sees any instructions, but the officer leading the team must know that it is up to the officer to restrain and drive the soldiers into the right position.

An army that can form an array is only a mere appearance, and it still needs to be tested in actual combat again and again. There is no shortage of troops in formation or good-looking formation in the world, but it is OK to walk in a queue or step forward. When it is really on the battlefield to accept the test, it will be defeated at one touch.

There are so many similar things. The most famous one is a war between Liao and Mongolia.

Tiemuzhen, who personally led the army at that time, saw that hundreds of thousands of troops in Liao were so well arranged. In fact, he was really afraid and wanted to send a death squadron to charge, meaning to withdraw the troops. What he didn't expect was that the Liao army, which was so well arranged, was thrown into chaos by the death squads. He seized the opportunity to make another general charge by cavalry except the reserve team, and hundreds of thousands of Liao army collapsed.

The Roman army did a good job. All kinds of equipment in the rear exploded again and again. Although the troops forming the formation advanced slowly, they advanced steadily. Inch by inch, the enemy had no choice but to retreat again and again.

"We can come forward." Marus Seeing the Han people present at the scene, utansis promised, "we will only enter the appropriate distance, and we will protect your safety."

"Oh." Dou a didn't know euphemism at all: "our angel can't take any risks. I'll just go with you."

Wang Meng is now an angel, but he is not the kind with two white feathers and wings. He is the messenger representing the son of heaven. He doesn't joke that safety is very important. Once he makes a mistake, it is absolutely enough to trigger a war.

Marus Utansis, with a slight expression of contempt, asked, "is that what you mean?"

"Personal safety is small, and the son of heaven is heavy." Wang Meng raised his head slightly with theout a smile: "if the envoy completes his mission, how about participating in your fighting competition."

Wang Meng's height and physique do not belong to that kind of big man type, but he is not too short. He is 1.72 meters taller than marus Utansis was almost half a head higher, and the same armor did not show who was stronger.

Physique is only one aspect. In fact, even people who are thin and weak can easily turn over an opponent who is taller and stronger than themselves but has no fighting skills as long as they learn and master fighting skills.

Wang Meng was born in poverty and had difficulty in reading in his early years. Later, he was summoned by Liu Yan. His life experience has undergone earth shaking changes. He can not only read as much as he likes, but also have enough conditions to be both literate and martial. It must be said that although his martial arts are not superb, it is really no problem to deal with three or five ordinary people.

Marus Utansis "ha ha" smiled and gave Wang a chest salute, glancing at Marcus Maka turned and left.

"He doesn't seem friendly to us?" Cai Mian asked Marcus directly Marca: "is there any prejudice, or what reason."

Marcus Marca said with a wry smile, "maybe it's the effect caused by the rumors of cyris in Rome."

Rome is the unique overlord of Europa, or the overlord who has been sitting on the throne for thousands of years. He has long developed Lao Tzu's national spirit of being the first in the world. There will certainly be some supporters of Rome supremacy.

A few years ago, Rome learned about the existence of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although they were enthusiastic at the beginning, they didn't have more ideas. They just wanted to get more silk.

Rome really attached importance to the state of Han. After knowing one thing, the state of Han crossed the sea thousands of miles to attack the Gupta Dynasty.

It should be said that after the war between the Han Dynasty and the Gupta Dynasty, Rome was immediately divided into two factions. One of them believed that the Han people had damaged the interests of Rome, because there was frequent and prosperous trade between the Gupta Dynasty and Rome itself. The Chinese Navy continued to attack and sink more than the ships belonging to the Gupta Dynasty, including Rome Persia... And many other countries' ships have suffered.

Dou ah couldn't help gloating and asked, "in his family, a ship was sunk by us?"

Marcus Maka just nodded back.

In fact, it's not just that a ship of the utansis family was sunk. The war between the Han state and the Gupta Dynasty directly interrupted one of the trade routes of the utansis family. However, this trade route with the Gupta Dynasty is the best one for the utansis family. Cutting off people's wealth is better than killing their father, marus Utansis didn't see the Han people and immediately tried his best, even if he had self-restraint.

"It can only be said to be an impeccable disaster." Cai Mian said hypocritically, "if our two countries had entered a friendly state earlier, the pingman Colonel would not sink the Allied ships directly, at least as it is now."

Yes, now the Han Navy will not sink the ships of non belligerents at will. If it gets a task, it will charge for escort to the Allied ships. However, when the Chinese Navy encounters ships of various countries in non mission sequence, it will still go on board for inspection. If there is nothing wrong, it will naturally be fine. If something wrong is found, it will either be detained, or it will sink if it is unwilling to accept the arrest.

There is a key problem. That sea area has been controlled by the Han state. After entering the stage of landing war, the sea area is facing a comprehensive blockade. Not to mention that the sea trade routes of the Gupta Dynasty are all broken. Even if there is no fault, go into the war zone.

Rome is far away from the Gupta Dynasty, and then Rome. Even if there is a navy, the problem is that the warships of the Roman Navy will operate in the calm place of the Mediterranean. Once the ships of Rome reach the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean, the bigger waves will definitely feed the fish directly. This is also the reason why the later Romans felt humiliated, but they had to seek friendship with the Han state out of practical considerations. They mainly wanted to revenge. There was no place to send troops, and there were no conditions. They could not push the Han state to Persia Sasan. They could only look for new interests after making friends when there were not so many things.

The Han state sent its own mission, and the Romans thought it was an opportunity.

Wang Meng and others came by boat. Since they can sail to Persia and land, there is no reason why they can't sail to the port of Rome.

It means that a new sea trade route has emerged. Rome can trade with the Gupta Dynasty and naturally with the Han country. Although it is far from Rome to Han, Han can not only provide ordnance, but also the favorite silk of the Romans. It seems, seems, maybe... The Romans think that just like the Gupta Dynasty, trade with the Han country is more promising!

"You have blocked the coastline of Gupta, and the troops have landed more than 100000. They will see the facts." Marcus Marca is talking about marus Utansis and other families whose interests were damaged because of the war between the Han state and the Gupta Dynasty: "as long as you are willing to take them on a route, they will treat you as the VIP who needs the most grand treatment."

Wang Meng just smiled and didn't speak.

Provide the explored routes to the Romans? That's definitely the Romans themselves.

The dangers at sea are everywhere, mostly reef areas or sea areas prone to storms. It took the Han country several years to explore the South China Sea to find this route to Malacca, during which countless ships were lost.

Any sea route not only has important strategic value, but also wealth. In short, if only the Han people master the route and others do not know the route, the Han people can monopolize the material transportation, which is equivalent to mastering the absolute material pricing power. reason? They want such materials, but there is no channel to purchase them. If they want them, they have to be slaughtered.

what? Rome already has a mission to the mainland of Han? But when the Romans go, it doesn't mean they have mastered the best route. When the Han country leads, it turns around in seven turns. It's definitely not the most time-saving route.

In fact, olus Setus Cicero knows how to get from Rome to Han, but don't think he will selflessly contribute. On the contrary, he will try his best to master it in the hands of his family to create wealth. What he thought would not be to sell the things of the Han country at a low price. On the contrary, he would sell them many times. Not only he, but anyone who has mastered the route will do that.

"It doesn't matter." Cai Mian followed Dou a to the front of the battlefield. He was indifferent to the surrounding situation and said, "we control the Strait. Any ship that wants to pass there needs our permission."

If you want to cross the Strait, you need to get permission from the Han state. Can you charge tolls?

Even if the ship can only pass, should we stop for supplies? Do they have to spend money on purchasing, do they have to spend money on berthing ships, and do the crew have fun when they get off the land... There are too many places that can bring benefits to the Han people.

What is the foundation of their wealth in future Singapore? That's what I said above!

"It is estimated that there has been a plan for a long time." Doo ah watched the Roman soldiers who formed the tortoise shell array play with rotating spikes and looked more seriously: "look at their tactics, which is worthy of our reference."

In the battle of the tortoise shell array, the Roman soldiers are still under the protection of the shield. They lean against each other. The soldiers in the front row hold the shield and fiercely push forward and then stab out the short sword in their hands. No matter whether the Shield hits people or the short sword stabs people, they will stab and then fall back. The soldiers in the second row immediately make up for it and do the same action.

One Roman soldier after another did the same action, and the whole tortoise shell array rolled around in turn like standing on the loading belt. They always kept moving forward. On their way forward, there were a lot of enemy bodies lying on their backs. The casualties caused by the enemy are almost negligible.

"Our shield array is always carried forward by the people in the front row against the shield, and the long weapon soldiers in the second row are responsible for killing and killing, which consumes a lot of physical strength." Doua pointed to the Roman tortoise shell array still moving forward: "their soldiers come in turn, which not only saves physical strength, but also causes greater shock and psychological oppression to the enemy."

Cai Mian understood and nodded approvingly, "indeed."

The Romans loved infantry alone for thousands of years. Of course, the prerequisite was that there was no need to worry about marching.

Looking at the expansion trend of the Romans, we can clearly see that their expansion route is around the coastline to use the sea to complete the delivery of troops. Naturally, there is no problem of simple infantry marching slowly.

Since there is no problem with the delivery of troops, and no nation around is just Roman infantry, it is not surprising that Rome has developed the idea of "big infantry first". It is not surprising that it has repeatedly improved its infantry tactics and methods of operation. It is not surprising that it does not want to study the king of land warfare, a cold weapon like cavalry.

"Look over there." Dou'a prompted Cai Mian. It seemed that there was something absurd. He said, "the sudden cavalry dare not directly attack the dense formation composed of infantry. Those barbarians' yiyiyiyaha ha 'rushed up."

The barbarians mentioned by Dou a are light cavalry. They really launched a fearless charge against the tortoise shell array in Rome, and did not encounter long-range weapons in the process.

The barbarian light cavalry rushed to the ground. The first barbarian's riding skills were very good. He even controlled the war horse to jump high and set foot on the shield wall on the top of the tortoise armor array. The weight borne by the shield wall was lower and restored to the original height. The barbarian light cavalry on the shield wall tried to control the horses' constant trampling, but the tortoise shell array fluctuated up and down several times, and there was no intention of cracking at all. He didn't know what to do.

More barbarian light cavalry directly hit the wall. Their speed was not slow. Every impact made a big noise. The first few impacts did not directly dent the shield wall, but someone knocked it away behind, but the cracks in the tortoise shell array were quickly repaired.

"Does it make sense to stick to it?" Dou a was surprised: "the Romans didn't match the ranged soldiers?"

"Who said no?" Cai Mian pointed out that in the past, what happened there was that the man on the top of the shield wall was stabbed to death by something, and the center of the tortoise shell array cracked: "no, there are still Javelin Soldiers in it."
