No one is willing to face an enemy army that is "stable" in all aspects, and the fact that the enemy army is "stable" in everything it does means that it is difficult to reveal any major flaws, and fighting with such an enemy army, even if it is ultimately victorious, will inevitably be a disastrous victory in which 1,000 enemies are killed and 800 are self-inflicted.
If you face an enemy army that is "stable" in any aspect, unless your own weapons and equipment have an absolute advantage, and the soldiers are sufficiently trained and well-organized than the opponent's elite, otherwise you will really only win a crushing victory, and the degree of depression of the generals who encounter this kind of battle is only known to themselves.
The Han Empire did not have any special way to train firearms troops, it was to weaken the individual thinking of soldiers again and again, and to input a sense of collective consciousness and obedience, which did not require soldiers to have strong individual combat effectiveness, all they needed was that they could maintain formation in the face of any enemy.
In the era of firearms, there is really no need for too complicated training methods, and the real need to make changes is at the moment when firearms are more developed and all kinds of weapons are updated, otherwise "one trick" can run rampant in the whole world.
Of course, at present, the entire earth has also developed firearms in the Han Empire, which preemptively allowed firearms to appear more than a thousand years in advance, and at the same time, it also allowed individual soldiers to throw firearms and bronze cannons to be equipped with troops.
The rest of the countries are still playing cold weapons, that is, the chariots that Zhuxia has eliminated for hundreds of years are still the main arms of other countries, including Rome and Sassanid.
The extremely rigid training of the Han army's firearms units, they did not face the enemy army with guns and guns of various calibers, but a group of long-range weapons basically bows and arrows, and crossbows or enemy troops imitating the Han Empire.
After today's battle began, the Han army's firearms troops had definitely destroyed more than 6,000 enemy troops within an hour, and their own losses were only less than 400 men.
The rest of the Han army, the cold weapon troops on the left and right flanks, they were a neglected group, but the results achieved were not a lot, the enemy troops killed should be about 2,000 people, but the losses were not even 20 people.
The cold weapons of the Han army on the left and right flanks, the cavalry also made a great contribution to the entire battle situation, forcing the Persian archers to "accompany" the cruise and engagement, attracting more cavalry from the anti-Han axis coalition army, reducing a lot of pressure on the frontal battlefield.
"You should develop cavalry" Elbata's face was almost dark, and he didn't know whether to wonder or sigh or rejoice: "The infantry fighting with the Han army's firearms unit is simply slaughtered, and only the cavalry can play a role." ” Rome's "short legs" are already known to the whole world, and it is naturally no problem for them to stay in the Mediterranean, anyway, they can rely on shipping to make up for the shortcomings of "short legs", but once they leave the environment of the Mediterranean, the shortcomings of Rome's "short legs" are infinitely magnified.
"It's time to develop cavalry."
Malus's face was also not good-looking: "It's just that you also know that we don't have good pastures over there, and we need your country to provide enough war horses." ” The Romans really didn't have good pastures in their territory, and the areas they ruled were either mountainous or forested, and there were not too many plains, or there were plains and shrubs.
Elbata opened his mouth, and all that left behind him was a sneer.
Don't look at the Persians and the Romans coming to an alliance under the pressure of the Han Empire, but the hatred of thousands of children for 800 years is so easy to eliminate.
For the weaker side in the war with the Romans, the Persians tried their best to suppress their hatred of the Romans, and at the same time hoped that the alliance between the two sides would be closer, but it was a dream to say that they would send war horses to the Romans for nothing Malus had the realization that Rome needed cavalry troops, and it was he who saw the shields that formed the tortoiseshell formation bursting under the fire of the Han riflemen.
The Roman legions formed a tortoiseshell formation, and in order to make each shield fit tightly, they moved carefully, and you can imagine how fast they could advance.
They had to be careful, as long as the shield wall revealed a little gap, with the dense firepower of the Han riflemen, they could get into the hole, and the fall of a Roman soldier with a shield in his hand was a sign of a gap in the tortoiseshell formation.
Once there is a gap in the tortoiseshell array, the Roman soldiers will face more bullets coming in, that is, a burst of blood blooms, the gap is not quickly filled, the tortoiseshell formation will face a real collapse, at that time they will be completely exposed to the fire of the Han riflemen.
The Han riflemen in the front row were constantly shooting in rotation, and some of the grenadiers who had been ordered to leave the group.
Grenadier is actually a temporary role change for some riflemen, who are usually fast and agile people, temporarily putting down their flintlock pistols and carrying grenades or grenades.
Yan Ping was one of the Han soldiers who temporarily served as a grenadier, with a row of wooden-handled grenades strapped to his waist and one in his hand, and after breaking away from the group, he approached the nearest Roman tortoiseshell formation.
The battlefield that had been fought for more than an hour did not appear clean, with corpses bleeding everywhere, some of those killed by the shelling were reduced to corpses, and limbs or internal organs of some could be seen.
There were not only human corpses on the battlefield, but also many Arabian horses that looked large and muscular, most of which were dead, and some were lying on the ground but not dead.
Yan Ping passed by a wounded but not dead war horse, he was not deliberately observing, purely by coincidence and looked at the eyes of the war horse, and could see that the war horse was shedding tears. is that appearance, falling on the battlefield does not mean that they are dead, many are actually injured and unable to move, or are so frightened that their whole body is weak and can only lie down to accept the unknown fate, and naturally they are pure soldiers who are pretending to be dead.
When Yan Ping was running forward, he unexpectedly saw an enemy soldier lying on the ground, and after seeing that the enemy soldier was not injured, he hesitated for a moment and chose to change the direction of running: "This Nima" A pure discovery, a Persian soldier who didn't know what purpose he was lying on the ground and secretly observing, he didn't have time to react under Yan Ping's "passing by", and then he was hit on the back of the head by the horse, and then he was constantly knocked on the head.
Yan Ping could have changed it to a dagger, but he really forgot to change his weapon, and chose to use the wooden-handled grenade in his hand to knock it, and after confirming that the Persian soldiers under him were dead, he wiped his face that was splashed with blood, and stood up and ran again.
The cruising grenadiers, in the process of their actions, will encounter some things that do not kill the enemy soldiers, and if the situation allows, they will easily mend the wounded enemy soldiers, and when they encounter the enemy soldiers who are uninjured but stay on the battlefield, they will inevitably go up to fight them.
About fifty meters away, Yan Ping killed two enemy soldiers who pretended to be dead and six enemy soldiers who were wounded, avoided the trajectory and approached the tortoiseshell formation formed by the Roman soldiers for about ten meters, unscrewed the cover at the bottom of the wooden-handled grenade, and pulled on the white drawstring, the wooden-handled grenade began to smoke, and threw it at the tortoiseshell formation of the Roman soldiers.
The smoking wooden-handled grenade landed on top of the shield wall made of shields, and it counted down with a "bang" sound.
The Roman soldiers inside the shield wall, under the continuous volley of guns fired by the Han riflemen, could not distinguish the collision of bullets hitting the shield and the falling grenades with wooden handles.
With a roar, the wooden-handled grenade on top of the shield wall exploded, and its explosive force caused a large piece of shield to be lifted away, and the next moment another smoking wooden-handled grenade was thrown, followed by a third, fourth, and a total of exaggerated six grenades.
Yan Ping just found that he was not only throwing a grenade with a wooden handle, but his body swept over before he lay on the ground, and saw that the other two comrades-in-arms had chosen this tortoiseshell array as the target of attack.
The continuous explosion directly disintegrated the tortoiseshell formation formed by a hundred Roman soldiers, and most of the people within three meters of the explosion were killed on the spot, and those who were not hit by shrapnel outside the four meters of the explosion became injured.
The point is that the tortoiseshell formation was disintegrated, the shield wall they used to resist the riflemen of the Han army was gone, and the next moment the Roman soldiers in a state of confusion were covered with blood-colored flowers, and the soldiers in the front were the first to fall in pieces, followed by rounds of guns that knocked the rest to the ground.
The Han riflemen had reached a distance of about fifty meters.
At this distance, even if the accuracy of the flintlock pistol is very unreliable, relying on a dense platoon of guns can still ensure coverage, giving them enough time to shoot, and no enemy can stand safely.
In the background, Malus, his hands holding the telescope were shaking.
From Malus's field of vision, the tortoiseshell array was dismantled one after another, and then his own soldiers were completely targeted, and if this trend continued, it would not take half an hour for the more than 3,000 soldiers there to be reimbursed.
"Give up the formation" Elbata wiped the sweat from his face: "They are the first time that they are less than fifty meters away from the Han army's firearms unit, and they launched a decisive charge."
It was really the scene he saw was so amazing that Malus lost the judgment that a general should have, and he roared: "Blow the horn of the charge" Not far behind Malus stood a line of Roman soldiers armed with trombones, while a guard of honor with military badges was present.
The trombone of the stormtroopers was blown, and after the Roman soldiers on the front line heard it, the Roman soldiers who had collapsed the tortoiseshell formation continued to be confused, and the Roman soldiers who were intact in the tortoiseshell formation shouted "For Rome", and withdrew the shield wall to meet a group of people who fell down in a round of guns, and those who did not die threw away their shields and charged forward with short swords.
Liu Shen's platoon was rotated to the front, and he was slightly stunned when he saw the Romans split the shield formation, but he did not delay in ordering a volley.
Fifty meters is actually a distance that is not far or close, and you can see each other's looks clearly if your eyesight is no problem, Liu Shen has seen the Romans a long time ago, and knows that the Romans are a group of people with black hair and black eyes, that is, the distribution of facial features is different from the Han people, and the height is shorter than the Han people.
Roeblin, a Roman centurion, was lucky not to be shot by a platoon of guns and ran forward with all his might.

Of course, his eyes were looking at the Han army in front of him, and he didn't know why his eyes were instantly attracted by a very young-looking Han man.
It's really young, and at the same time, Luo Bulin sighed and realized that something was wrong: why was there a wall around him to protect him, but the other Han people did not.
Liu Shen happened to look at Roblin, who had a "broom" on his helmet, and knew that this Roman was an officer.
He saw Robblin staring at him, and he didn't know what he thought, so he gave Roeblin a very sunny smile.
"Approach me" Luo Blings can conclude that the young Han man's identity must be extremely noble, not only judging from the people who protect him around, but mainly from Liu Shen's smile: "There is a noble descendant of Seris over there, we can only leave the battlefield safely by holding him hostage."
The Roman soldiers who greeted the rain of bullets were shocked when they heard the shouts of Roblin.
On a battlefield where people are constantly falling, there is hope and there is no hope, and the Roman soldiers who previously charged in despair instead charged with hope ran faster and became more agile.
Roebling was really lucky, people kept falling around him, but not a single bullet flew within two meters of him.
"Your Highness."
Ingqua spotted seven or eight Roman soldiers charging straight in this direction and reminded, "You need to stand back. ” Of course, Liu Shen found the Roman soldiers, and smiled at the "sweeping head".
He raised his chin and glanced at Yingkui grimly.
How could Liu Shen retreat because of so many people rushing towards him In fact, the Roman soldiers who charged at Liu Shen fell again and again, and they did not rush to a distance of twenty meters close to Liu Shen, but fell to the ground without any left.
Blood gushed from two parts of Roeblin's chest, and he looked at the blue sky, the corners of his mouth full of bitterness.
Before he fell, he threw the short sword in his hand, but the short sword only flew forward for about ten meters before falling weakly to the ground.
The Han riflemen's platoon shots were fired at short intervals of less than three seconds, and under one round of firing, none of the charging Roman soldiers were standing.
The farthest they rushed was to within eight meters of the Han Army's riflemen array, and then they either became corpses or wounded.
The drum kit was beaten again, the riflemen array continued to move forward, and when Liu Shen passed by Roeblin's side, he saw that Roeblin's blue eyes were out of focus facing the sky.
The advancing riflemen, who found the Roman soldiers alive as they passed, ended the suffering of the Roman soldiers with bayonets.
In a way, the Han riflemen who mended their knives were good people.
Because if you are hit by a lead bullet, even if you don't die on the spot, you will have to endure all kinds of torture later, and you will die in pain with symptoms of inflammation and pus
