Chapter 445 First Side (8)

Chapter 445, chapter 1 (8) the reaction of the people of Rome was very slow

The fall of the dictator, fabian, made their internal power struggle heated up

Hannibal also took this opportunity to give the troops a good rest in Canny and familiarize themselves with the surrounding terrain

While waiting for the battle to begin, he was bored reading about Rome during this period

Many books would say that the Rome senate believed that Rome should defeat Hannibal "Openly

" Seeing this, he scoffed, a classic sign of election politics

A fair defeat was, of course, a form of propaganda, a form of propaganda for the people

It could also be propaganda for the alliance, but because of this, it would overwhelm all the troops in Rome

A total of 80,000 people, the largest recruitment in Rome's history, would seem foolish

If it wasn't for the political" color" that was so strong, the second punitive war wouldn't have been so hard

However, Huang Xuan was also very impressed by this figure of 80,000 people, who said that the number of wars in ancient europe was small

At that time, china could easily send out three or four hundred thousand troops, which could be said to be soldiers of the whole country

For example, the The battle of chang ping, which he was most familiar with, almost mobilized all the men aged 15 to 60 in the country

There might be a million of them, but if you carefully compared the soldiers of both sides, you could see that the two sides were so different

Rome ranks people according to their wealth

The richest first class can go out to the cavalry

The second class can only go down to the heavy infantry and then the light infantry

But no matter what, unless the country is going to be destroyed, those without property want to be soldiers

There is no way

This is different from china

In addition, the qin kingdom had millions of troops, and the Zhao kingdom had millions of troops

Rome, in the narrow sense of Rome, was actually just a city

In 260 bc, Rome was still a republic, not an empire, and the entire Rome alliance was formed according to the military mobilization of a Rome corps, an alliance corps - of course, this was also because the system of the Rome republic prevented him from fully mobilizing, otherwise, The first million-dollar war in european history did not have to wait that long

Mr

Comus was never given complete information

The latter seemed uninterested, and Lorraine was even more obsessed with mahjong

However, Mr

Comus obviously had his own methods

The travelers would not remember the history of all planes, but the academies had their own methods

There were always traces of human history to be found

The primitive people would go to live in cold regions, but they would not live in the frigid glaciers

The people of Rome might win or fail

But they always had to develop

When Mr

Comus came to Huang Xuan's room, he said," Hannibal will win several annihilation battles in the remaining time, but the result will still be like a rogue, right

" Of course, he was very surprised

He opened his hand and thought for a long time

" Where do you want me to start

"" How do you get Cyrus to get the power and leave this place

You better find something

" After the novelty of the trip, Mr

Comus seemed a little tired

Dumbfounded, he said after a moment," even if we give Cyrus the right to travel, it's hard for him to do that

I thought what you said about gaining power was in a longer time

" Mr

Comus shook his head gently

He said to himself," in this era, power should be made up of two parts, his blood and family background, as well as his military and political strength

" As he said this, he looked at Mr

Comus and suddenly smiled

" I have an idea

Let's see if we can do it

" The Rome corps arrived as scheduled

The two consuls brought ten Rome corps, five of which were the allied forces of Rome

Their fighting capacity was inferior to that of the Rome corps, but they were better than Hannibal's lousy miscellaneous troops

For the people of Rome, their problem was with the consuls

Two consuls meant two different opinions

Worst of all, their republic system was so widely used in the army

It could be said that there was no big problem with the Rome people's army, because their opponents had always been too weak

After encountering the powerful Carthaginian army, the Rome people's republic helped them time and time again

" Battlefield rotation

" Hearing this name made modern people feel stupid

Of course, there were many improvements in Rome that made the system not as stupid as its name, but just a secondary stupidity - two consuls each exercising the right to command for a day

As a result, the stable Amy lius camped far away from Hannibal, and after Hannibal attacked, he chose to avoid the war

However, the next day, the new commander faro decided to start the war

Then he did it

The two armies clashed

Hannibal was an infantryman on the central front, and he used cavalry on both wings, which was a very normal tactic in the period of the war of laying out the enemy

However, Hannibal's cavalry was surprisingly large

Comus and Cyrus stood in the middle of Hannibal's sequence, surrounded by a small number of Carthaginian cavalry, as well as a large number of iberian soldiers, as well as Hannibal's favorite Libya phoenicians, gauls, and various african natives

Rome's army was almost three times larger than that of the Carthaginian

Looking at the dense square formation of Rome in three lines, Hannibal finished his command and waved to huang xuan

" Can you kill them

"" Of course

""200 Trants

" When Hannibal smiles, his chin curls up slightly

He chuckled and said," actually, we want more prisoners

"" Oh

"" We have decided to establish a new country here, perhaps called Italy or byzantium, so we need some slaves

" The general next to Hannibal said," only the victor is qualified to have slaves

"" We will, but I don't want to kill my own slaves, so

"" Can't you help

" Hannibal stared at Huang Xuan

Unable to bear it, he shut his eyes and said," don't give me that

Although you are as famous as Napoleon, do you know how that kid died

" Hannibal frowned strangely, thinking about the name Napoleon

Pointing to the distance, he said," that's the barracks of Rome people

There are about 10,000 people there

If they reinforce this army, you will be in big trouble, right

" The current Hannibal army was weaker than in history, and it was impossible to play the myth of defeating the strong with the weak

" What do you think

" Hannibal, on the other hand, was in a good mood to talk to huang xuan

In front of his army, three times as many people could come at any time

With a smile, he said," just kill them

Those people are going to run anyway

I will kill them when the battle begins, but 200 tarrants a time

That doesn't change

"" No problem

" Hannibal nodded solemnly and watched Huang Xuan leave from afar

At 8: 00 in the morning, the two sides finished their formation

In this kind of war, the rear is basically safe

After the heavy soldiers, you don't have to worry about shells, stray bullets, or missiles or energy cannons

Mr

Comus found a higher place, spread out the mat, and started the barbecue with Cyrus

Looking at him with a smile, he came closer and realized that there were already three large energy screens in front of him, broadcasting the battlefield situation from all angles

" You came just in time

" Mr

Comus called huang xuan and said," it looks like we're going to fight

The people in Rome are starting to move forward

These people in front want to shoot

" Javelins are the most powerful weapon in the Rome corps

They have enough penetration to kill heavy infantry and are economical to reuse

If the missiles made by Martin can be recycled, they will definitely monopolize the iraqi market

The elite infantry on both sides looked the same

The african soldiers also wore the heavy infantry armor of the Rome people, partly from disarmement and partly from Canny's contribution

This was the granary of the Rome army

Occupying this place was the main reason for the Rome people to carry out the decisive battle

" Do you use an energy cannon

" Mr

Comus asked Huang Xuan

He always consulted Huang Xuan now

" No

" Huang Xuan shook his head gently and said," the Carthaginian army cannot be slaves, so we have no support

The people of Rome are different

" Faro commanded the Rome corps to press on all fronts, all troops on one front

This was the most orthodox way to attack

Hannibal ordered his central front to protrude into the central dense square that was facing Rome, and the flanks on both sides began to circle

His toughest angry media cavalry was on the right, but today, the Liberia and gaul cavalry led by Hannibal's younger brother showed even more" lust

" Almost as soon as they came into contact, they defeated the Rome cavalry on the opposite side

Although the number of people in Rome was three times that of the Hannibal army, Hannibal's cavalry was ten times that of the Rome people

Compared to these fast approaching african and gaul cavalry, the Rome cavalry was more accustomed to dismounting and not fighting

Thousands of miles apart, but the way the chinese and Rome fought was surprisingly similar

Xiao he exclaimed," this is the famous pincer attack

"" Is it famous

" Huang Xuan asked

Ning Ao interjected," I don't think it's as famous as the big fou
