The battle of Duoerkan undoubtedly opened Wen Jiming's eyes, which benefited him a lot from having no experience in warfare in the era of supercold weapons.

Because of his preferences, Wen Jiming himself has played a lot of ancient war games, such as the Total War series, the horseback riding and slashing series, etc., and it is also for this reason that he began to like the sport of real sword fighting.

There was a time in the United States when he was particularly fond of the History Channel's series on the famous ancient wars. That program uses computer 3D technology and uses the kernel program of all-out war, which perfectly reflects the scenes of various famous battles, and is narrated by historical military scientists to analyze the victory and defeat process of the entire battle.

There are several battles that he still remembers vividly, such as the famous Battle of Gaugamela, King Alexander of Macedon, in which the 40,000 Macedonian army led by King Alexander of Macedon faced the more than 200,000 troops of the Persian Empire under the command of Darius III (some say more than 500,000, considering the strength of the Persian Empire at that time, it is not impossible. ）。

Although the Persian Empire was well prepared before the battle and was the first to enter the battlefield and stand side by side, under the attack of the famous Macedonian spear phalanx and the Macedonian companion cavalry, one of the first heavy cavalry, coupled with the correct command of Alexander the Great, a genius military commander, the Persian Empire was finally defeated with tens of thousands of casualties, and monarch Darius III was also killed after the battle.

The other is like Alexander the Great, known as one of the four outstanding military commanders of Western antiquity, Hannibal of Carthage. During the Second Punic War, the Battle of Kangnai, he had 40,000 infantry and more than 10,000 cavalry. Against the eight legions of Rome there were 80,000 heavy infantry and 6,000 cavalry.

The two sides began with a line along the Ophedus River, with a dense mass of hoplites in the center of the Roman line, with cavalry on both flanks, and Hannibal with infantry in a half-moon shape, protruding from the enemy, with cavalry on the sides. As soon as the battle began, the Roman infantry launched a strong attack on the center of the enemy line, and the center of Hannibal's army began to retreat, and the Roman army continued to press forward, with the result that the line became longer and longer, and the ranks became deeper and deeper.

At this time, Hannibal's infantry on both flanks attacked, and the cavalry also charged at the Roman cavalry, and after defeating the Roman cavalry, they outflanked the Roman infantry, and immediately formed an encirclement of the Roman infantry. The Roman army panicked, and the front began to disorganize, and the surrounding Roman soldiers were pushed closer and tighter, so dense that their own soldiers could not move at all, and could only die under the constant gunfire of Hannibal's army. In the end only seven thousand people were captured, all the rest were killed, and Hannibal's army lost only six thousand. "Kangnai" has since become synonymous with the general battle of encircling and annihilating the enemy.

These are just two representative cases of countless famous battles in his memory, and this personal experience of the Battle of Duoerkan began to turn these memories into an introduction that can be used as an introduction to the experience of cold weapon warfare in the future.

-----------------------------------------------

On the night of the Battle of Duoerkan, Wen Jiming went to the old shaman's home to discuss the upcoming cooperation.

Wen Jiming was very strange, it stands to reason that a high-level professional like the old shaman did not have a carriage that could fly. If all flying carriages were used, the time spent on the merchants' journeys would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

"The asking price is too high, and you can afford to customize one or two cars, but it doesn't help, such a long distance is simply not enough. We shamans only have the study of elemental spells, and knowledge of such magical transformations can only be mastered by magicians and various churches. ”

"You don't have any magician friends?" Wen Jiming was curious.

"Yes, yes, I have a very good magician friend, but at the moment he is in the land of the gods."

"I'll ask the Black Iron Dwarf boss to see if he knows anyone, the vehicle is definitely going to be remodeled, which is important for our mutual business."

So, Wen Jiming took out the magic slate and wrote a letter to Carlos Copper Hammer again.

Soon after, he received a reply from the dwarven boss, in which Carlos said that he knew two dwarven craftsmen who had a good relationship with the magician, and could help ask, suggesting that Wen Jiming and the old shaman go to the Black Iron City to meet him first, because he was returning to the Black Iron City to build a bigger winery.

Two days later, in the morning, the three of them left together with a caravan that had been loaded with a large amount of leather, bone products, wool, and some grassland specialties produced by the Sirius tribe, and headed for the Black Iron Dwarf City.

Two weeks later, the caravan finally left the steppe. Come to the first human city on the edge of the steppe, Novrod, the border city of the country of Los.

Novrod is a commercial city with 300,000 inhabitants, because of its geographical location, between the mainland countries that are mainly agricultural and the steppe tribes that are mainly animal husbandry, most of the economic and trade exchanges between the two sides have to pass through this border city, and it has virtually become a trade transit station and storage base between the two places. Therefore, merchants from all over the world have set up shops here, so a large number of jobs have been created.

The Loes people are on the continent of Saturn and are known for their courage and belligerence and bold personality. There are 19 million citizens in the whole country of Los Angeles, and there are more than 40 large cities, most of whom are Los people.

The old shaman happened to have an old friend in Novrod, who was a famous warrior professional in the country of Los Angeles, and a seventh-order two-handed greatsword master Belov. So after arranging the caravan's residence, the old shaman took Wen Jiming and Lola to visit the residence of the great swordsman Belov.

The Great Sword Master Belov didn't look very old on the outside, but he was actually almost sixty years old. Nearly two meters tall, the body is burly, and its whole body is full of violent beauty. But the Great Sword Master himself was different from his appearance, very hospitable, and as soon as the two sides met, the two old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time began to greet each other.

Everyone was let into the living room by the master, and after the two sides sat down, the great swordsman began to ask the old shaman about his intentions, but Batubrin did not hide it, explained the reason why everyone wanted to go to the Black Iron Dwarf City, and suggested that the great swordsman himself also opened a tavern in the country of Los Angeles, which was much higher than his income from teaching students two-handed swords in the martial arts hall.

The Loes people are a well-known race that loves to drink, so when Wen Jiming took out two kinds of wine and asked the great swordsman to drink it, he didn't say anything more, and Belov himself couldn't wait to join, so another one was added to the liquor sales outlet.

With the addition of spirits, everyone naturally began to talk about more. The Great Swordsman was very interested in Wen Jiming's ability to travel at a young age. So I can't help but ask questions that no one else has ever asked.

"After this liquor business, where are you going to visit?"

"Needless to say, it is naturally along the entire Saturn continent and circumnavigating around it." Wen Jiming replied with great interest.

"Huh? It is estimated that it is impossible, because there is half of the place in this Saturn continent, and the professional level is lower than the sixth order, so it is absolutely impossible to enter it! ”
