The Han army outside the camp was all infantry troops, and they took 100 people as a small phalanx, and then 10 small phalanxes converged into a medium-sized formation, and 100 small phalanxes made up a large phalanx.
The cavalry units of the Han army had long since left the camp, and some cavalry had even circled to the back of the Gupta camp overnight.
Nearly 30,000 infantry soldiers stood still in silence, and if they didn't get close enough to see clearly, they would really wonder if there was a humanoid statue.
Wang Meng needed to make some arrangements, mainly to mobilize the tribe to come over as a guard.
After waiting for the 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry to be arranged, Wang Meng set off with the guests.
It may be far enough away from the battlefield, and it is not a war era when guns and cannons are roaring, only the faint sound of drums can be heard in the distance, but the shouting of killing is inaudible.
The team was escorted and set off, and since it was really not so hurried, and there were infantry in the guard, although everyone rode horses, they slowed down.
"It's only been three hours since I heard the drums last night, but the Seris army has already started fighting with the Xindu people."
Julian said solemnly, "We didn't see any movement from the Seris army yesterday.
If it only took them three hours from deciding to fight to sending their troops, the Seris army would be far more elite than we thought."
The Romans also had the "hour" as a unit of time.
They divided the day into 12 hours, but the night was divided into 4 "shifts".
The length of time is also not fixed, each hour is long in the summer, and each is shorter.
In winter, each hour is shorter and each is longer.
In addition, the Romans made water clocks hundreds of years ago.
It is a container of water, and a graduated ruler is placed on it, and the ruler rises as the water level rises, that is, according to the position of the pointer, how much time has passed.
There is also a "water clock" here in Zhuxia, but there is no scale unit, it is purely to install a bamboo tube on the water flow, and the water of the bamboo tube will tilt and collide with the stone to make a sound, and if you want to know how much time has passed, someone needs to remember how many times the bamboo tube knocked on the stone.
At present, the Han Kingdom also established a water clock, which is the same as that of the Romans in style, in fact, it was imitated by Liu Yan.
As for other styles of clocks, such as mechanical clocks or something, they can't be made with current technology anyway.
Everyone didn't go far but they heard the sound of "dong dong dong" in the distance, it didn't sound like the sound of beating war drums, someone turned their heads to look into the distance, and saw a large black shadow on the horizon moving.
Ksiaias had been watching, and could tell the difference between the sound of drums and the sound of footsteps: "Don't tell me it's the movement of 30,000 Han Empire infantry in a neat stride. ” The people in the team were surprised, and they would inevitably talk, and it would be a bit noisy if too many people talked.
"The first training subject for our soldiers when they enter the army is military posture."
Wang Meng did not hide Helena's curious question: "There is no personal will in the army, and we have found that training military postures and queues can make soldiers develop the habit of obedience. ” Helena wasn't that familiar with the military, she just knew that it was right to compliment it now.
They had actually seen the appearance of the neat march from the 5,000 infantry army guarding them before, but the 5,000 infantry army was drawn in batches and did not get together, resulting in the inconsistent pace of the steps between the squads.
After some discussion, they decided to stop and satisfy their curiosity.
The result was obvious, the movement was the sound of the 30,000 Han infantry marching in formation.
If it's just a few, dozens, or hundreds of people, it will look good if the movements are neat, but there is absolutely no sense of shock.
The 30,000 soldiers dressed in uniform and their formations were more than 3,000 meters long, but they were walking under the same rhythm, and anyone who saw this scene would instantly feel numb and goosebumps all over their bodies.
It is human instinct, a response to a sense of shock.
"Our ancestors said a long time ago" Ali's eyes were about to fall: "The strength of the Han people" Hierro's ancestors were descendants of a nobleman of the Hundred Vehicles dynasty.
The Baicheng Dynasty recognized the Western Han Dynasty as the suzerain, and indeed left some legends about the Western Han Dynasty.
"Among the Han people, there was a scholar named Sima Xiangru, who once entered the southwest alone, probably in the later generations of Yunnan, Burma, Laos and other regions" What Ali said was actually from other people's hearsay before the mission: "One person subdued the Dian Kingdom, Yelang Kingdom, Yue Kingdom, Ailao and other countries.
It's just one person."
It is rumored that in the Western Han Dynasty, the Han people had entered the Asan continent, but they only passed by purely when they sold silk on the trade route, and it seems that they had reached the Mediterranean Sea as far as possible.
In the later period of the reign of Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty did accept the southwestern countries as vassals, and the territory map was directly counted as the territory of the Western Han Dynasty, and its influence radiated to the Asan continent.
Julian and Xeias discussed it and decided to follow the 30,000-strong Han army.
Wang Meng naturally had no opinion, and happily agreed.
It was the first time for everyone to see a large-scale Han army out of the camp to the field, and they saw that the Han army marched in a formation in the field.
This force was to the left of the Gupta camp, which was geographically located to the west of the battlefield, but did not conflict with their previous itinerary.
Nothing else happened on the way, except for the constant admiration of the onlookers.
The battle on the west side of the battlefield had already broken out, and when they arrived, they saw that the crossbow troops of the Han army were constantly shooting arrows in the sound of passwords, each time it was fired by five thousand crossbowmen, and each time it was with a huge "swish" sound, and then the crossbow arrows that were so dense that they seemed to be dark clouds flew into the air, and then fell again.
"Crossbow" Flavis looked at the Han soldiers who were armed with powerful crossbows and were ready to shoot, full of greed: "The location of the launch is about one-third of Rome away from the camp of the Xindu people. ” One Rome is about 1,490 meters, and a third is about 500 meters.
The Romans rarely even played with bows, generally with javelins and grenades.
Therefore, the distance of the Romans' long-range attack weapons is really short, and it is really fearful and envious to see that the Han army's crossbow can be fired so far, at least two hundred meters farther than the Persian longbow.
Not only the Romans, but all the people from other countries, for the first time, they saw nearly 20,000 long-range troops taking turns to fire a salvo, the main thing is that the range is too far, and the frequency is not so slow, and they will subconsciously think about what will happen if their own army encounters this scenario.

"Seris's crossbow bolts have a strong armor-piercing effect."
Flavis did everything possible to find out about this: "The longbow of the Persians is simply incomparable." ” In the past and now, the Roman legions have advanced against the Persian longbowmen, and there are troubles, but there is not much trouble.
Julian subconsciously said, "I never want to see the Legion advancing with crossbow arrows. ”:
