In fact, the Han people must admit that the Roman army is so boring and boring, but the army is not an acrobatic troupe, and it does not need any cool performances, and the key is to be able to use the most appropriate method to achieve victory.
Once anything has come back to basics, that's the most effective and practical way to do it.
It's like the police are catching a thief, and they can catch it as soon as they pounce on it, but why do they deliberately let it go, and then stage a wonderful street chase, and after all kinds of thrills, they finally catch the thief who could have been caught with one pounce, whether it is to show their flexibility, or to prove their awesomeness, or to have a camera next to them "They used this monotonous tactics to become the overlord of Europa."
Wang Meng continued to watch and commented: "Being able to organize a formation shows that they are well-trained."
After forming a formation, they can react and adjust in time according to the various situations they face, which shows that they do not lack actual combat experience. ” That's not wrong.
A general has mastered the knowledge and skills of arranging troops, but not all armies will arrange troops, and they need to undergo rigorous and serious training, and they must repeatedly clamor to practice arrays all year round.
Regardless of what kind of instructions a soldier hears or sees, he knows where he should go, but the officer who leads the team must know that it is up to the officer to restrain and lead the soldier into the place where he should go.
The army that can form a formation is still just a spectacle, and it still needs to be tested again and again in actual combat, and there is no shortage of troops in the world who are lined up or lined up in good looks, but it is okay to walk in a queue or step forward, but when they really go to the battlefield to be tested, they are crushed at the touch of a button.
There are really too many similar things, the most famous is a certain battle between the Liao State and the Mongols.
Temujin, who personally led the army at that time, saw that the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Liao State had done such a good job in arranging troops, but in fact, he was really a little afraid in his heart, thinking that he would withdraw his troops as soon as he sent a death squad to charge.
What he didn't expect was that the Liao army, which had done such a good job in arranging troops, was rushed by the death squad, and seized the opportunity to have a general charge of cavalry in addition to the reserves, and hundreds of thousands of Liao troops collapsed.
The Roman army did a good job, and all kinds of equipment in the rear bombarded again and again, and the troops forming the formation advanced slowly but steadily, inch after inch in the formation, and the enemy had no choice but to retreat again and again with the tortoiseshell formation.
"We can step forward."
Seeing that the Han people present looked over, Martus Wutansi assured: "You will only enter the appropriate distance, and we will also protect your safety." ” "Huh."
Dou Ah didn't know the euphemism at all: "Our angels can't take any risks."
I'll just go with you. ” Wang Meng is an angel now, but he is not the kind with two white feather wings, he is a messenger on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and he does not joke at all that safety is very important, once he makes a mistake, it is definitely enough to cause a war.
With a slightly contemptuous expression, Murus Utansis asked, "Is that what your envoy means?"
"Personal safety is a small matter, but the Son of Heaven has a big responsibility."
Wang Meng raised his head slightly without smiling: "If the envoy completes his mission, what about participating in your gladiatorial competition." ” Wang Meng's height and physique do not belong to the type of big man, but he is really not too short, his height of 1.72 meters is almost half a head taller than that of Marus Wutansi, and he is also dressed in armor, but he can't tell who is stronger.
Physique is only one aspect, in fact, even if a person with a thin body is, as long as he learns and masters the fighting skills, the little man can easily take over an opponent who is taller and stronger than himself but has no fighting skills.
Wang Meng was born in poverty, and it was difficult to study in his early years, and he was later recruited by Liu Yan, and his life experience has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Not only can he study to his heart's content, but he also has enough conditions to be both civil and military, and it has to be said that although martial arts are not superb, it is really not a problem to deal with three or five ordinary people.
Marus Utansis smiled and gave the king a smack to the chest, and glanced at Marcus Marca before turning to leave.
"He really wants to be unfriendly to us" Cai Mian asked Marcus Marca directly: "Is there any prejudice or what is the reason?"
” Marcus Marca smiled wryly and said, "Maybe it's the effect caused by the rumors that Ceris is in Rome." ” Rome is the unique overlord of Europa, or the kind of overlord who has been sitting on the throne for thousands of years, and has long developed the national spirit of Lao Tzu to be the first in the world, and there will definitely be some supporters of Roman supremacy.
A few years ago, Rome learned about the existence of the Han Kingdom in the East, and although they were enthusiastic at first, they did not have any more ideas, nothing more than wanting to get more silk.
Rome really attached importance to the Han State when it learned one thing, that is, the Han State crossed thousands of miles to attack the Gupta Dynasty.
It has to be said that after the Han and Gupta dynasties entered a state of war, Rome was immediately divided into two factions, one of which was that the Han people harmed the interests of Rome, because the Gupta dynasty and Rome itself had frequent and prosperous trade, and the Han navy continued to break down, sinking not only the ships belonging to the Gupta dynasty, but also the ships of Rome, Persia and many other countries were damaged.
Dou Ah couldn't help but gloat and asked, "In his family, a ship was sunk by us."
Marcus Marca just nodded in response.
In fact, it is not just as simple as the Wutansis family having a ship sunk, it is the war between the Han and the Gupta Dynasty that directly interrupted one of the trade routes of the Wutansis family, but this trade route with the Gupta Dynasty is still the best benefit of the Wutansis family, and it is better to cut off people's wealth than to kill their father's hatred.
"It can only be said that it is a disaster without reason."
Cai Mian said hypocritically: "If our two countries enter a friendly state earlier, the Pingban Captain will definitely be like now, at least not directly sinking the ships of the Allied countries." ” Yes, now the Han navy will no longer sink ships of non-belligerents at will, and will escort allied ships for a fee if they get a mission.
However, when the Han Navy encounters ships from various countries that are not in the mission sequence, they will still go on board to inspect them, and there is nothing wrong with them, and if they find something wrong, they will either be seized, and if they are unwilling to accept the seizure, they will still be sunk.
There is a key problem, that sea area has been controlled by the Han State, after entering the stage of landing warfare, the sea area is facing a complete blockade, not to mention that the Gupta Dynasty's maritime trade routes are all cut off, even if no one is broken to break into the war zone.
Rome is quite far from the Gupta Dynasty, and then Rome even if it has a navy, the problem is that the warships of the Roman navy also operate in calm places in the Mediterranean.
This is also the reason why the Romans felt humiliated, but they had to seek friendship with the Han State in practical considerations, mainly because they wanted to take revenge and had no place to send troops, and they could not push the Han Kingdom to the Persian Sassanids, so they could only look for new interests after making friends when there were not so many things to do.
The Han sent their own legacy, and the Romans thought the opportunity had come.
Wang Meng and the others came by boat, and since they could sail to Persia and then land, there was no reason why they couldn't sail to the port of Rome to land.
It can be reached by sea, as long as there is no problem with IQ, you can figure it out a little, which means that a new sea trade route has appeared, and Rome can trade with the Gupta Dynasty, and naturally with the Han Kingdom.
Although it was farther from Rome to Han, Han could not only provide armaments, but also silk, which was the favorite of the Romans.
It seems, it seems, maybe the Romans thought that the Gupta dynasty was like that, and that it would be more promising to trade with the Han state "You have blockaded the coastline of Gupta and more than 100,000 troops have landed.
They'll see the facts.
Marcus Maka was talking about the families whose interests were damaged by the war between the Han and the Gupta dynasty and the Marcus Marcus: "As long as you are willing to take them on a route, they will treat you as the most important guests to be treated with honor." ” Wang Meng just smiled and didn't speak.
To offer the explored routes to the Romans was definitely a matter of the Romans' own thoughts.

Danger abounds at sea, from reefs to storm-prone areas, and it took the Han to explore the South China Sea for years to find this route in Malacca, losing countless ships in the process.
Any sea route is not only strategically valuable, but also wealthy.
To put it simply, if only the Han people control the routes, and others do not know the routes, the Han people can monopolize the transportation of materials, which is equivalent to mastering the absolute pricing power of materials.
The reason is that they want that kind of material, but there is no way to buy it, and if they want it, they have to be slaughtered.
What Rome already has an envoy to the Han mainland, but there are Romans to go, it does not mean that the best route has been mastered, the Han Kingdom is leading the way, and it is definitely not the most time-saving route.
In fact, Aulus Sexes Cicero knew how to get from Rome to Han, but don't think that he will give it selflessly, but will try his best to create wealth in the hands of his own family.
What he thinks about is not to sell the things of the Han Kingdom cheaply, but on the contrary, he will sell them many times.
It's not just him, it's anyone who has mastered the route would do it.
"It doesn't really matter."
Cai Mian followed Dou'a to the front of the battlefield, indifferent to the surrounding situation, and said: "We control the strait, and any ship that wants to pass through there needs our permission. ” If you want to pass through the strait, you need to get permission from the Han Kingdom, which is not able to collect tolls Even if the ship can only pass, should it stop for supplies to buy them, will it cost money to buy the ship, will it cost money to dock the ship, and whether the crew should have fun when they go off land, there are too many places that can bring benefits to the Han people.
In the future generations of Singapore, their wealth was built on what was mentioned above "It is estimated that the center has already had a plan."
Dou'a watched the Roman soldiers who formed the tortoiseshell formation playing turn-by-turn thrusts, and looked at them more seriously: "Look at their tactics, they are worth learning from." ” The tortoiseshell formation that was fighting, the Roman soldiers were still under the protection of the shield, they were leaning on each other, the soldiers in the front row held the shield and stabbed forward and stabbed the short sword in their hand, whether the shield hit or the short sword stabbed the person, they would stab and then retreat backwards, and the soldiers in the second row immediately made up for it to do the same action.
One Roman soldier after another made the same move, and the whole tortoiseshell formation rolled in turn as if they were standing on a belt, always in a forward posture, and there were piles of enemy corpses lying on their way.
And the casualties inflicted on them by the enemy were almost negligible.
"Our shield array is always carried forward by the people in the front row with their shields, and the long-armed soldiers in the second row are responsible for the killing and wounding actions, which consumes a lot of physical strength."
Dou'a pointed to the Roman tortoiseshell formation, which was still advancing: "Their soldiers took turns, which not only saved their physical strength, but also caused greater shock and psychological oppression to the enemy army. ” Cai Mian understood and nodded in agreement: "Indeed." ” The Romans had been fond of infantry for thousands of years, and the prerequisite was, of course, because there was no need to worry about marching at all.
Looking at the expansion trend of the Romans, it can be clearly seen that their expansion route is around the coastline, to use the sea to complete the delivery of troops, and naturally there is no problem of slow infantry marching.
Since there is no problem with the projection of troops, and any surrounding nation is just no more than the Roman infantry, it is not surprising that the Romans have the idea of "the supremacy of the large infantry", and they have repeatedly perfected their infantry tactics and tactics, and it is not surprising that the cavalry, the king of cold weapons and land warfare, did not think about it.
"Look over there."
Dou A reminded Cai Mian, as if he felt that something was ridiculous, and said: "The turquoise cavalry did not dare to directly attack the dense formation composed of infantry, and those barbarians babbled and rushed up." ” The barbarians Dou'a said were light cavalry, and they really launched a fearless charge against the Roman tortoiseshell formation, and they were not attacked by long-range weapons in the process.
The barbarian light cavalry rushed hula, and the first barbarian's equestrian skills were very good, and he even controlled the war horse to leap high and stepped on the top shield wall of the tortoiseshell array, and the weight of the shield wall was lowered and returned to its original height.
This barbarian light cavalry on the shield wall, he tried to control the war horse to constantly kick and make noise, but the tortoiseshell array was up and down several times, and there was no intention of cracking at all, so he didn't know what he should do.
More barbarian light cavalry slammed directly into the wall, their speed was not slow, each impact made a loud noise, the first few impacts did not directly knock the shield wall into it, there were people behind it, but the crack in the tortoiseshell array was quickly patched.
"It makes sense to defend to the death" Doua is strange: "The Romans don't have ranged soldiers" "Who said no" Cai Mian pointed over, what happened there was that the person on the top of the shield wall was stabbed to death by a rod or something, and the center of the tortoiseshell array cracked: "No, there are still javelinmen inside." ”:
