Chapter 439: The First Face (2)

Mr. Comas resembles an ordinary Roman, wearing a white robe that "exposed" his left arm, and he has cultivated over the years to look like a Roman citizen in a high position.

Huang Xuan was wearing a yellow linen shirt, and he was a follower, and the two of them walked on the street, with the same image.

There were very few people on the street, and it was easy to avoid the two groups of people, and after two groups of people, Mr. Comas said: "While you were resting, I came out to look around, and there was a square near Capitol Hill, where a lot of people gathered. ”

"What kind?"

"A lot of men, 17 to 40 years old, or a little older, and many more who should be the nobility of the country." Mr. Comas guessed that his plane base knew nothing about it.

Huang Xuan carefully opened an energy screen that only he could see, reviewing the history of Rome in more than 200 BC, which he did not want to share with Mr. Comas. Any secret is valuable, just look at where it is played, just like the secret of the Wendelin family discovered by Shi Yu, if you take it out a little earlier or later, it can only be regarded as a good gift to the Comas family, and if you take it out just right, you can save your life.

With the improvement of his status, Huang Xuan felt as if he was repeating what his grandfather taught him, as if he was constantly experimenting.

After walking for a quarter of an hour or so, and the peculiar sound of many people could already be heard together, Lorraine said, "Here we are." ”

"Oh, I know." Huang Xuan looked at the closed road around him and said, "It's like a gymnasium." ”

They see the same as the gymnasium. It is a square built at the foot of a hill where it is possible to see the crowds and the well-trained Romans, all of whom were ordinary citizens as well as soldiers.

"Your proof?" A Roman in military uniform approached Comas and pointed to Huang Xuan and said, "No slaves are allowed here." ”

Huang Xuan had the urge to break his nose, Mr. Comas nodded and took two steps back, and then Huang Xuan saw a camouflage cover covering his body.

Mr. Comas smiled at Huang Xuan, then punched him the bridge of his nose, then his stomach, and saw the Roman officer lying on the ground, and then dragged him and said, "This reminds me of the early days, when we beat people, sometimes more severely, but we didn't want people to know. ”

The other Romans saw the image of a Roman officer standing, a citizen being interrogated, and a slave, who was then driven down the slope. In fact, it was the Roman officer who rolled down the slope.

"It seems that I'm still used to dealing with problems this way." Mr. Comas said and looked at Huang Xuan and said, "For this plane, how do you think you can cause more Nengdun losses?" ”

"You mean anything other than the energy cannon 'mess' sweep?"

"Sometimes the energy cannon 'messy' sweep can't solve the problem, looking at the appearance of this city, they are going to fight, right? If they are bound to be defeated, the city is destroyed, and the inhabitants are slaughtered, what is the point of killing them all a little earlier and blowing up the city? ”

"Oh. That's true. "Huang Xuan didn't have a standard education, he didn't understand a lot of things.

However, Mr. Commas understood him, "I know you're not used to this, but there are some problems in this lost plane that are different from usual, such as the fact that we can't use the teleportation function of the plane base. ”

"Because we can't open the plane passage, yes."

"So we might need to use this plane's mode of transportation, or walk on our own, and this city might be hundreds of kilometers away from its nearest city, and that city might be a very worthless target, and then we're going to look for the next one?"

Comas was obviously more thoughtful than Huang Xuan, Xiao Huang shrugged his shoulders and thought for a while: "Actually, if my information is good, Rome should gradually win in the next few decades, and now, it is a difficult time for them." ”

"How hard is it?"

"It's very hard." Huang Xuan didn't know how to describe it, so after thinking about it, he started from the beginning: "Rome should be fighting with one of their old enemies, maybe called Carthage, you know, because of the similarity. In the first few hundred years, Rome and Carthage had a good relationship, a strategic alliance. Huang Xuan looked at the information as he spoke, and commented in his heart: "It's like the United States and the United Kingdom." ”

Seeing that Mr. Comas 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, from the current time, it was 70 years ago, a city called Sicily had a problem, 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 reach Sicily and occupy it, and at the same time fulfilled the preface and joined the Roman League. Carthage was the traditional suzerainty of Sicily, and the Romans helped to open a trade route to Africa and Spain. But Rome did not do this in accordance with the previous contract, so they went back and forth, and fought with Carthage. Also, the name Sicily is so familiar that I forgot what it was. ”

Xiaohe said coolly in Huang Xuan's ear: "Mafia." ”

Mr. Comas listened to Huang Xuan's words, and at the same time took him and climbed up the ramp on the side vigorously: "It seems that this Rome is also ready, you say this is his difficult time?" ”

"Yes, the last war between Rome and Carthage should be called the Punic War, Punic is the name of Carthage, and in the end Rome won, and now, the two should be fighting again, and Carthage has already fallen into the city. Rome will fail for the next two years. ”

"Who will win in the end?" Mr. Comas immediately asked.

"Rome, if you say it by its similarity." Huang Xuan said and thought about it: "There is still some difference between the victory of Rome and the victory of Carthage, if the victor is Carthage, then in the fields of culture and military politics, there will be great changes. ”

"I see." Comas said with a sigh and said, "The dimensional world, the value of information. ”

Huang Xuan laughed twice and climbed the hill behind Comas.

There were also several Roman soldiers guarding the hill, and Mr. Comas cleared a clearing with his fists.

Huang Xuanwan said: "Mr. Comas's style is very direct. ”

"There's no way, low-level planes, it's not okay to fight hand by hand." Mr. Comas said, pointing to the square below, "Look, they're recruiting?" ”

Huang Xuan craned his neck and glanced down, and said with certainty: "It's the Roman method of recruitment." ”

"You know." History is arguably the most important intellectual property for the dimensional world, and Mr. Comas doesn't mind knowing more.

Huang Xuan recalled what he saw: "They divided Rome into thirty-five districts, and the propertied classes between the ages of 17 and 45 were their soldiers, and they did not levy the proletariat unless absolutely necessary. ”

"It's completely different from us." Mr. Comas commented.

"That's true." Huang Xuan pointed below, almost reading what was on the energy screen and repeated: "They will elect these 24 generals, 10 of whom are over 27 years old and have 10 years of military experience, 14 people must be over 23 years old and have 5 years of military experience, and then according to the number of votes, the first 4 will join the first legion, the next three will be the second legion, the next four will be the third legion, the remaining 10 generals, the oldest will be assigned to the first legion, the second will be incorporated into the third legion, and so on, It is up to the generals of each regiment to choose the people. ”

"Oh, they're doing it."

Huang Xuan felt that he was watching an ancient Roman reality show, just like the book said, in the process of recruitment, in order to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the four legions is equal, starting from the first legion, the generals selected 4 people from all the candidates, and then the second legion selected 4, and continued to rotate until everyone was selected, which was a long process The number of each legion was between 4200 and 4700 people, and it was necessary to choose more than 1000 times, and those who were not selected would be sent home, Wait until the war is necessary, and then re-recruit. In the same way, there are no special circumstances for those who are over 45 years old and under 60 years of age will not be indicated

For the people of this period, having the ability to war, they have rights, and the right to have the right to war, is the ownership of property, for example, cavalry, requisitioned only from the first estate, 300 men per legion, less than one-tenth of the infantry, which is also one of the germs of chivalry in the Middle Ages, and affluence is the subtext of knights.

After looking at it for a moment, Mr. Comas bowed his head and said: "It is indeed well-trained, you see this square, it can hardly accommodate so many people, but they are not very crowded, such an army should be an army that wins the battle, then, we can kill them all?" ”

"Actually, no." Huang Xuan also felt very regretful and said: "I think that if we kill them all, the loss caused by Nengtun will not exceed 10,000, and we still have to wait a long time to get more follow-up Nengton." ”

"Why?"

Huang Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said: "Carthage has a very good general, their commander, a man named Hannibal, in the next few months, he may get a major victory, if this is true, these recruits we see now are just a footnote before death." ”

"It's useless to kill them?"

"The opponent's losses are minimal, and the annihilation war is complete and 'fascinating'."

If Napoleon was the first commander in the era of artillery warfare, then Hannibal was the first commander in the era of short soldiers, the difference is that Napoleon's defeat did not damage his excellence in strategy and tactics, but Hannibal's defeat gave him a reputation for not having strategic vision.

In any case, in terms of tactics, Hannibal in the age of cold weapons can be counted almost invincible.

Mr. Comas carefully rejected the name Hannibal, shook his head, and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

"From what I know, he should be very good, and judging by the time, the task of these Roman legions should be to resist Hannibal."

"He's going to attack the city?"

"But he didn't make it." Huang Xuan said with some regret: "He led all mercenaries, deserters and logistics problems are serious, and there are no siege equipment, so he is doomed to failure, unless, capture Rome now." ”

Huang Xuan was still talking to Mr. Comas when he saw a white plane door flashing beside him.

"Who?" Huang Xuan immediately pulled out his pistol.

"It's me." It turned out to be Cyrus.
