Mr. Conmas looked like an ordinary Roman. He wore a white robe with his left arm exposed, and he had the airs of a high-ranking Roman citizen that he had developed over the years.
Huang Xuan was wearing a yellow linen top, and he looked like a follower. The two of them walked on the street, and they had the same image.
There were very few people on the street, and it was easy to avoid two groups of people. Mr. Conmas said: "While you were resting, I came out and took a look around. There was a square near Capitol Hill, and a lot of people gathered there. people."
"how is it like?"
"Many men, aged 17 to 40, or older, and many should be nobles of this country." Mr. Conmas guessed that his plane base knew nothing about this place.
Huang Xuan carefully opened an energy screen that only he could see, and reviewed the history of Rome in more than 200 BC. He did not want to share this with Mr. Conmas. Any secret is valuable, it just depends on where it is used. Just like the secret of the Wendelin family discovered by Shi Yu, if it was brought out earlier or later, it can only be regarded as a good gift for the Conmas family. , but taking it out just right can save your own life.
As his status increased, Huang Xuan felt as if he was repeating what his grandfather taught him, as if he was constantly doing experiments.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, when the special sound of many people could be heard, Lorraine said: "We are here."
"Oh, I know." Huang Xuan looked at the closed roads around him and said, "It's like a gymnasium."
What they saw was the same as the stadium. This is a square built at the foot of a mountain, where you can see crowds of people and well-trained Romans, who are ordinary citizens as well as soldiers.
"Your proof?" A Roman in military uniform came over and asked Conmas, pointing at Huang Xuan and saying: "Slaves are not allowed here."
Huang Xuan had the urge to break his nose. Mr. Conmas nodded and took two steps back. Then Huang Xuan saw a camouflage cover covering his body.
Mr. Conmas smiled at Huang Xuan, then punched him hard on the bridge of his nose, and then his stomach. Seeing the Roman officer lying on the ground, he dragged him and said, "This reminds me of In the early days, we beat people, sometimes more seriously, but we didn’t want people to know.”
Other Romans saw images of Roman officers still standing, citizens and slaves being questioned before slaves were driven down the slope. In fact, it was the Roman officer who rolled down the slope.
"It seems that I am still used to this kind of problem-solving." Mr. Conmas said and looked at Huang Xuan: "For this plane, how do you think we can cause more damage to Nengton?"
"You mean besides sweeping away energy cannons?"
"Sometimes random sweeps with energy cannons can't solve the problem. Look at the look of this city. Are they going to fight? If they are bound to be defeated, the city will be destroyed, and the residents will be massacred, let's kill them all earlier and blow up the city. What’s the point?”
"Oh. That's true." Huang Xuan has not received standard education, and he does not understand many things.
However, Mr. Conmas understood what he meant: "I know you are not used to this, but in this lost plane, there are indeed some problems that are different from usual. For example, it is impossible for us to use the teleportation function of the plane base."
"Because we can't open the plane channel, yes."
"So we may need to use the transportation in this plane, or walk by ourselves, and this city may be hundreds of kilometers away from its nearest city, and that city may also be a very worthless target, and then we go to find the next one ?”
Comas was obviously more thoughtful than Huang Xuan. Xiao Huang shrugged, thought for a while and said: "Actually, if my information is good, Rome should gradually win in the next few decades. Now, It’s a difficult time for them.”
"How hard is it?"
"It's very difficult." Huang Xuan didn't know how to describe it. After thinking about it, he started from the beginning and said: "Rome should be fighting one of their old enemies, maybe called Carthage. You know, because of the similarity problem. In the first few days For hundreds of years, Rome and Carthage have had a good strategic alliance," Huang Xuan said while reading the information, and commented in his heart: "It's like the United States and Britain."
Seeing that Mr. Conmas was listening more carefully, Huang Xuan cleared his throat and crawled along the path next to him: "But a few decades ago, to be precise, 70 years ago from now on, a man named There was a problem in the city of Sicily. Their mercenaries revolted and killed most of their employers. Sicily asked Rome and Carthage for help at the same time. Rome agreed, and was the first to arrive in Sicily and occupied it. At the same time, fulfilling the preamble, he joined Roman Alliance. Carthage is the traditional suzerainty of Sicily, and Rome's help is to open up a trade route. In this dimension, they want to open up a road to Africa and Spain, but Rome's doing so is inconsistent with the previous contract. After a while, we started fighting with Carthage. Also, the name Sicily seemed familiar to me, and I forgot what place it was.”
Xiaohe said coolly in Huang Xuan's ear: "Mafia."
While listening to Huang Xuan's words, Mr. Conmas led him up the ramp on one side with great skill: "It seems that Rome is also ready. Do you think this is a difficult moment for him?"
"Yes, the last war between Rome and Carthage should be called the Punic War. Punic is the name of Carthage. In the end, Rome won. But now, the two families should be fighting again, and Carthage has already The enemy is at war. Rome will remain defeated for the next two years."
"Who will win in the end?" Mr. Conmas asked immediately.
"Rome, if we talk about it in terms of similarity." Huang Xuan thought for a moment and said, "There are some differences between Rome's victory and Carthage's victory. If the winner is Carthage, then in the fields of culture, military affairs, etc. , great changes will occur.”
"I understand." Conmas said and sighed: "The value of information in the plane world."
Huang Xuan laughed twice and followed Comas up the hill.
There were also several Roman soldiers guarding the mountain, and Mr. Conmas cleared an open space directly with his fists.
Huang Xuan smiled and said: "Mr. Conmas's style is very direct."
"There is no way. It's a low-level plane. It's impossible without working hard." Mr. Conmas said, pointing to the square below: "Look, they are recruiting troops?"
Huang Xuan stretched his neck and glanced down, and said with certainty: "It's the Roman recruitment method."
"You know." History can be said to be the most important intellectual property for the plane world, and Mr. Conmas doesn't mind knowing more about it.
Huang Xuan recalled what he had just seen and said: "They divided Rome into thirty-five districts. The property-owning class between the ages of 17 and 45 were their soldiers. They did not recruit the proletariat unless it was absolutely necessary."
"This is completely different from us," Mr. Comas commented.
"Indeed." Huang Xuan pointed down and repeated almost reading what was on the energy screen: "They will elect these 4 generals, 10 of whom are over 7 years old and have 10 years of military experience. They must be over 10 years old and have 5 years of military experience. Then based on the number of votes, the top 4 will join the First Army, the next three will join the Second Army, the next four will join the Third Army, and the remaining 10 generals will The oldest ones are assigned to the first army, the second to the third army, and so on, and then the generals of each army select the people.”
"Oh, they're doing it."
Huang Xuan felt like he was watching an ancient Roman reality show. Just like what the book said, during the recruitment process, in order to ensure that the four legions had equal combat effectiveness, starting from the first legion, the generals were selected from all candidates. Select 4 people from the first legion, then select 4 from the second legion, and continue to rotate until everyone is selected. This is a long process. The number of people in each legion is between 400 and 4700. It takes If you select more than 1,000 times, those who are not selected will be sent home and will be recruited again when the war requires it. Similarly, without special circumstances, those reservists who are over 45 and under 60 years old will not be warned.
For people in this period, only those with war capabilities have rights, and the right to have war rights is the ownership of property. For example, cavalry is only requisitioned from the first class with the most property. Each legion has 00 people, less than infantry. One-tenth of the knighthood, this is also one of the germinations of medieval chivalry. Wealth is the subtext of knighthood.
After watching for a moment, Mr. Conmas nodded and said: "It is indeed well-trained. Look at this square, it can hardly accommodate so many people, but they are not very crowded. Such an army should be a victorious army. So, can we just kill them all?"
"Actually, no." Huang Xuan also felt very regretful and said: "I think if we kill them all, the loss of Nengton will not exceed 10,000, and we will still have to wait a long time to get more follow-up Nengton. ”
"Why?"
Huang Xuan shrugged and said: "Carthage has a very good general. Their commander, a man named Hannibal, may win a major victory in the next few months. If the circumstances If true, these recruits we see now are just footnotes before death. "
"It's no use killing them?"
"The opponent's losses are minimal, a complete and fascinating battle of annihilation."
If Napoleon was the first commander in the era of artillery warfare, then Hannibal was the first commander in the era of hand-to-hand combat. The difference was that Napoleon's failure did not undermine his excellence in strategy and tactics, but Hannibal's failure made him He had a reputation for not having a strategic vision.
No matter what, in terms of tactics, Hannibal in the cold weapon era can be regarded as almost invincible.
Mr. Conmas carefully rejected the name Hannibal, shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it."
"From what I know, he should be very good. Judging from the time, the mission of these Roman legions should be to resist Hannibal."
"He's going to attack the city?"
"But he didn't succeed." Huang Xuan said with some regret: "He led all mercenaries, deserters and logistical problems were serious, and he had no siege equipment, so he was destined to fail unless he captured Rome now. ”
Huang Xuan was still talking to Mr. Conmas when he saw a white plane door flashing past him.
"Who?" Huang Xuan immediately pulled out his pistol.
"It's me." It was Cyrus who came out. (To be continued. If you want to know what happened, please log in to .qidian. There are more chapters. Support the author and genuine reading!) (To be continued)
