The peasant soldiers who have undergone some intensified assault training are actually not weaker than others in combat effectiveness~~ Well, at least they are no worse than the city defense army in Loren City, plus the advantage of equipment, they are not even weaker than the private soldiers under most nobles. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Lin thought secretly.

All they lack is experience on the battlefield and the momentum that belongs to the soldiers!

And after this night, I believe that if an enemy appears in front of these peasant soldiers, these peasant soldiers will definitely pounce viciously and bite the enemy into minced meat.

……

Unlike the Byronian Empire, the conqueror, who split the free city-state into two sections and was on the verge of total destruction.

At present, the nobles of the Roman Kingdom, including one of the invaders that Li Lin has to face: the Kingdom of Maca has never had a vast and unified territory like the Byron Empire.

Although Byron had many desert areas, it was a unified people from the beginning. Relatively good geography, relatively small technology (weaponry), and the innate courage and bloodthirsty nature of the (semi-)nomadic people made the Byronic a formidable rival to the city-state, and it almost conquered the loose and chaotic city-state at the very beginning of its existence.

The kingdom of Maca, on the other hand, was originally just a small and large tribe in the Kalman Mountains, and it was not called Maca at that time. At the beginning of the Roman state, the local nobles who were divided by Roman I collectively called these mountain people living in mountain nests as the Karl people, which means lowly, lowly and undisciplined mountain savages.

Even the most tolerant Chinese people, in the feudal dynasties of the past dynasties, local officials and clans still regarded these mountain people as weeds, cutting and giving birth to batches, and the rebellions of the mountain people recorded in history are the best proof.

Not to mention the attitude of the Romans towards this group of disobedient Karls.

In the earlier years, the beginning of the statehood. Roman's soldiers have probably not been corrupted yet, although the external expansion has long stopped, but it is not too easy to kill a mountain people or something.

It's a pity that they can't resist the enemy of time after all.

One generation, two generations, with the improvement of the material level and the prevalence of extravagance, there were initially a bunch of nobles with swords and more "civilized" gentlemen with jewels on their waists hanging from the ball, but there were fewer "barbarian" warriors who only knew how to train hard and did not understand the customs.

If in the first hundred years, the frontier nobles used the wild men in the Kalman Mountains as two-legged prey, and from time to time they entered the mountains to show off their strength. Then a hundred years later, this situation is becoming less and less common. They prefer to use the bloodless method of trade to expropriate the mountain people.

This transformation is neither good nor bad, but in short, the large-scale bloodshed has indeed decreased in the following decades.

Originally, according to this situation, perhaps one day, the Kalman Mountains would really be included in the territory of Roman, and the grievances of several generations ago would be completely submerged in dust.

History has played a little joke. In the 189th year of the Roman calendar, Roman V ascended the throne, at this time a group of defeated alien races migrated to the steppes in the north of the kingdom, and the newly enthroned Roman V was not interested in this group of defeated people on the steppe at all, he was intoxicated with his own queen, and his eldest cousin with the reputation of the Roman's flower under the long skirt, after the other party expressed his willingness to rise and fall, and offered tribute every year, the entire Roman kingdom said that the matter was revealed.

Now it seems that the group of high-ranking people in the Roman Kingdom at that time were simply brain-dead. But the reign of Roman V was the most 'prosperous' period of the whole Roman, and the nobles sang and danced lightly, intoxicated with enjoyment.

Under the influence of the main theme, the officers stationed at the border fortress held a grand banquet almost every few days. At that time, it was also the period when the whole kingdom was most affected by the 'advanced currents of thought' of the West. They even fantasize about waiting for the outsiders on the grassland to raise their cattle, sheep and horses to fatten up, and carry out the legendary business of exchanging broken tea bricks for livestock.

The deprivation of not seeing blood, the choice of the wise. The nobles of the Roman said that in this regard, they are civilized and most of the barbarian aliens who can't even read a few big characters!

In the following decades, the nobles of the Roman Dynasty did eat as much as they thought. They thought they could toy with the alien race.

However, the steppe peoples, who were subject to unfair trade trade, were not appointed as such, and secretly, they were ready to attack the Roman kingdom at any time......

But before that, there is a problem that the aliens of the northern steppes need to solve.

There is no doubt that the strength of the steppe people born on horseback is obviously cavalry, if it is to fight on the flat steppe, these guys full of strength and wild roar like madness seem to shake the heavens and the earth, those war horses that are a head taller than the Roman horses carry their masters to the wings and behind the Romanes, and their masters are like wild beasts, wielding sabers with amazing arm strength to slash and slash......

Everyone of the steppe people is not afraid of death, because the blood of the warriors flows in their bodies, as long as they break the shell of the other party, they can slaughter the other party on horseback like mowing grass.

For thousands of years, farming peoples have been conquered by them in this way!

It's a pity that the Romans are not all wine bags and rice bags, solid and tall walls, hedgehog-like bunkers, riding on horseback, and almost no siege ability The steppe people want to invade the Romans, and the first thing they face is this kind of problem in front of them.

It is the duty of a good commander to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and thanks to the meadows and wastelands of the northern steppes, the light cavalry of the steppes can easily take advantage (those half-man-tall horses and grasses are also good for scouting). Even if Roman had excellent armor and swords, he would not be able to deal with the rolling iron horseman. This is one of the reasons why the Romans did not take advantage of the unstable foothold of the steppe people to attack in the first place.

But when you enter Roman's North County, everything is reversed. The entire northern county of Roman, which borders the grassland, has many hills, rugged terrain, and the existence of the Kalman Mountains, the largest mountain range in the Roman Kingdom.

In recent years, with the increasing trade with the steppe people, the large cities that already existed in the middle of the border have become taller and stronger.

Originally, the situation should have been stalemate like this, but who knew that there was an unborn genius on the grassland.
