Sweep the World

Chapter 874: : 1 corner of the iceberg

The Han army outside the camp is all infantry. They use a hundred people as a small square, and then ten small squares will be combined into a medium-sized formation, and a hundred small squares will form a large square.

The cavalry troops of the Han army had left the camp long ago, and some cavalry had even walked behind the camp of the Gupta dynasty overnight.

Nearly 30,000 infantrymen stood still in silence. If they weren't able to see clearly if they were close, they would really doubt whether they had put up a human statue.

Wang Meng needs to make an arrangement, mainly to mobilize the tribe to serve as a guard.

Waiting for the three thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry to be arranged properly, Wang Meng led the guests to set off.

It may be that it is far enough from the battlefield. It is not the age of war when the guns are all fired. You can only hear the sound of drums coming from a distance, but the sound of killing is inaudible.

The team was protected and set off. As it was not so rushing, there were also infantry in the guards. Although they rode on horses, they slowed down.

"It has only been three hours since I heard the drums last night, but the Serris army has already started fighting with the Believers." Julian said solemnly: "We didn't see any actions by the Serris army yesterday. If they It only took three hours from the decision to fight to the dispatch of the army, and the Serris army was far more elite than we thought!"

The Romans also had "hour" as a unit of time. They divided the day into twelve hours, but the night was divided into four "changes." The length of time is not fixed. In summer, every hour is longer and every shorter. In winter, every hour is shorter and every longer.

In addition, the Romans made water clocks hundreds of years ago. It is a container with water, and a scaled ruler is installed. The ruler will rise as the water level rises, that is, how much time has passed according to the position of the pointer.

There is also a "water clock" on Zhuxia's side, but there is no chronograph scale unit. It is purely a bamboo tube installed in the water stream. When the water is full, the bamboo tube will tilt and knock against the stones and make a sound. If you want to know how much time has passed, someone needs someone. Specially to remember the bamboo tube knocked on the stone a few times.

At present, the Han Dynasty also built a water clock, which is identical in style to that of the Romans (actually, it was imitated by Liu Yan). As for other styles of clocks, such as mechanical clocks, they cannot be made with current technology anyway.

Everyone did not go far, but they heard the sound of "dong dong dong" coming from a distance. It was not like the sound of a war drum being beaten. Some people turned their heads and looked into the distance, and they saw a large area on the horizon. The shadow is moving.

Xiasi has been watching and can distinguish the difference between the drum sound and the stepping sound: "Don't tell me that it is the movement made by the 30,000 Han Empire infantry who stepped neatly."

The people in the team were all surprised, and inevitably they would talk, and too many people would seem a little noisy to talk.

"The first training subject for our soldiers to enter the army is military posture." Wang Meng did not conceal Helena's curious question: "There is no personal will in the army. We found that training military posture and queues can make soldiers obedient. Habit."

Helena is not so familiar with the army, only knowing that it is right to compliment now.

They had actually seen the appearance of the 5,000 infantry marching in order from the 5,000 infantry guarding themselves before, but the 5,000 infantry was marching in batches and did not get together, resulting in inconsistent stepping rhythms between the teams.

After discussing it, they decided to stop and satisfy their curiosity.

It turned out to be very obvious. The movement was the footsteps of 30,000 Han infantrymen marching.

If there are only a few people, dozens of people, and hundreds of people, the neat movements will look good, but there is absolutely no sense of shock.

Thirty thousand soldiers wearing uniform uniforms. Their army is more than 3,000 meters long, but they are stepping up at the same rhythm. Anyone who sees this scene will instantly have scalp tingling and goose bumps all over the body. . That is human instinct, giving a kind of response to shock.

"Our ancestors said it a long time ago..." Ali's eyes almost fell when he saw it: "The Han is powerful!"

Hierro's ancestors? Their royal family is considered to be the descendants of a certain nobleman in the Baichen Dynasty. The Baichen Dynasty recognized the Western Han Dynasty as its suzerain state, and it will indeed leave some legends about the Western Han Dynasty.

"Among the Han people is a scholar-official who is a little Sima Xiangru. He once entered the southwest alone (probably in the later Yunnan, Burma, Laos and other regions)..." What Ali said was actually heard from other people before he went to the embassy: " One person has subdued Dian Kingdom, Yelang, Yue Kingdom, Ailao and other countries. It is one person! There is only one person!"

It is rumored that in the Western Han Dynasty, the Han people had entered the Asan Continent, only passing by when they were selling silk on commercial roads, and it seemed that they had reached the Mediterranean as far as they were. In the later period of Emperor Xiaowu's reign of the Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty did indeed accept the Southwestern countries as vassals. The territory map was directly counted as the territory of the Western Han Dynasty, and its influence radiated to the three continents.

Julian and Xias discussed it, and decided to follow this 30,000 Han army.

Wang Meng naturally didn't have any comments, so he agreed happily.

It was the first time everyone saw a large-scale Han army go out of the camp to the field. They saw the Han army marching in a line-up in the field.

This force will drive to the left side of the camp of the Gupta Dynasty~www.wuxiamtl.com~according to the geographical location, it happens to be the west of the battlefield, but it does not conflict with their previous arrangements.

Apart from the constant admiration of the onlookers, nothing happened on the road.

The battle on the west side of the battlefield had already broken out. When they arrived, they saw the Han army's crossbow troops constantly shooting arrows at the sound of the command. Each time they were fired by five thousand crossbowmen, they carried a huge "唰唰" again and again. "Sound, then the crossbow arrows densely packed like dark clouds flew into the air, and then fell again.

"Crossbow!" Flavis looked at the Han soldiers holding the crossbows ready to be fired, full of greed: "The firing position is about one-third (Rome) from the camp of the Xindu people."

A mile in Rome is about 1,490 meters, and one third is about 500 meters.

The Romans seldom even played bows, generally playing javelins and grenadiers. Therefore, the distance of the Romans' long-range attack weapons is really short. It is really fear and envy 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 everyone from other countries, they saw for the first time that nearly 20,000 long-range troops fired in turn. The main thing was that the range was too far, and the frequency was not so slow, so they would subconsciously think if it was their own country. What will happen to the army in this situation?

"Seris's crossbow arrows have a very strong armor-breaking effect." Flaves did everything possible to find out about it: "The Persian longbow is simply incomparable."

In the past and now, the Roman legions were advancing with Persian longbowmen. There were troubles, but there was really not much trouble.

Julian subconsciously said: "I never want to see the legion advancing with a crossbow arrow."
