And because it is calculated by weight, in the past it certainly meant that not many troops could go there - because the load that the war horses could bear was only so large, but it is different now. Although the number of people who could be transported there may be fewer than in the past,
After all, the Romans had become a lot richer recently, and their bodies had become stronger. To transport enough people, they would inevitably have to use more food, and at the same time, they had to calculate the additional weight of a large number of grenades.
But because of the existence of grenades, the Romans' combat effectiveness against various barbarians such as Saxons and Prussians has been greatly increased. At the same time, if artillery is also included, then not only are these barbarians difficult to match the Romans in direct combat, but they also have continuous
Their local advantages such as fortresses and fortresses will be lost in the face of Roman artillery fire!
Having such a big advantage is naturally a good thing. Although this good thing is due to the emergence of more powerful opponents, the good thing itself is still good after all.
Seeing that the mood of these two people was a little low and the atmosphere was heavy, I simply said what was on my mind just now.
When little Hannibal said this, there was actually nothing to be optimistic about. There were wolves in front and tigers in the back. The Romans' ability to unify the continent was improved because of the emergence of a force that could sweep across the continent at any time. However, what he said
.
Although Marcus and Wang Xuanchen still felt that it was not good, after all, this Tang Jun was real, but hearing these words made people feel that things in the world are constantly changing. And since they are constantly changing, it means that at least they are always changing.
There is really no point in being so nervous. However, after this exchange, whether it was Hannibal the Younger, Wang Xuanchen, or Marcus, these smart people from the Roman Empire chatted back and forth, and the issue of how to use artillery was always discussed.
It's nothing more than those, it's just used to break down the walls of the fortress and destroy the enemy's formation.
Speaking of this artillery, its biggest role is to destroy formations, because there is no invincible fortress in the world, but there is indeed the kind of army that obeys orders and prohibitions, is not afraid of death, and always maintains extremely high tactical literacy - the damn Tang Army.
In the face of such a high-quality and powerful opponent, artillery is very useful. Once the artillery fire passes by, even the mythical army will be immediately defeated. No matter how powerful the Tang Empire's army is, it will not be made of flesh and blood and can resist hard.
Artillery bombardment.
The second purpose is of course to destroy fortress walls. Although the Tang Imperial Army has not built large fortresses in Europe, its garrison has not done anything special yet.
But generally speaking, when the Tang army came over, the first priority for Rome was to defeat its army, and the fortress was not the most important thing. But this Tang army was very vicious.
Recently, little Hannibal received intelligence reports that the Tang army began to build a large number of small fortresses in Eastern Europe - of course, the part west of the Alps.
A small fortress is a very special thing. On the one hand, it definitely cannot be regarded as a fortress, because the essence of a fortress is a stable food supply base, and a small fortress cannot store so much food, but at the same time, this thing obviously cannot be regarded as an ordinary one.
A military camp, that kind of thing made up of tents.
Ordinary military camps do not have such a solid body made of cement and strong defense capabilities.
In other words, this thing is a very embarrassing thing. To say it is a garrison tent would be too labor-intensive, but to say it is a fortress seems to be insufficient. After all, a fortress should be something that can keep troops stationed for several years.
It is not enough to reach the endurance of the fortress, and at the same time, it takes a lot of effort to build this thing instead of setting up tents. The first moment when the news was reported, little Hannibal almost thought that the Tang army was an outing army composed of a group of noble children-such
It's not like I have never seen an army before. On the way back to Rome to seize power and rebuild the empire, I encountered such an army. Those people had a strong and healthy body, but they had already lost Emperor Romulus.
His heroic spirit can be said to be a shame to Rome.
But here comes the problem. There is no doubt that the Tang Army is not that kind of army. The will of these guys to fight is as tenacious as leeches. Building houses deliberately because they are not used to living in tents is definitely not something that the Tang Army would do logically.
So, what are these small fortresses with extremely awkward positioning used for, in the words of the Tang Empire, "tasteless"?
Although he didn't think about it for a while, little Hannibal soon figured it out - mainly because Rome has fought against the Tang army several times, so he has a lot of understanding of the opponent's character and temperament, and can avoid wrong ideas.
.
So in the end, little Hannibal finally figured out the secret. The Tang army planned to use the strategy of harassment and cannibalization.
Slowly attacking and gradually devouring the enemy's land. This strategy has long been known to Hannibal, but the concept of "cannibalization", that is, "slowly eating the opponent like a bug", is the first time he has mentioned it in Wang Xuanchen's mouth.
I heard about it once, and I secretly sighed in my heart that the Tang Empire was really familiar with war and had great potential.
But in this case, things will inevitably become very troublesome, because with such a strategy, the small fortresses of the Tang Army that originally seemed very ridiculous and embarrassing will come into use. These small fortresses can support the Tang Army's continuous attacks.
Rome's military and economy were harassed and destroyed because of these.
After all, a small fortress is still a fortress, and the opponent always has a premeditated plan for every action. It is not easy to stop this kind of harassment operation process.
What should I do now? This problem appeared in front of me. Little Hannibal had a headache. Fortunately, he finally got a bronze cannon. After some planning, he stopped the Tang army.
Got off.
However, it is obvious that the Tang army cannot stop forever. Although the bronze cannons are very powerful, and even in a wealthy country like Rome, only four of them were cast at a time. Although the power of these four bronze cannons can be used strategically,
Let them achieve results that would have been difficult for forty cannons to achieve, but who knows? The Tang army might come up with some way to compete with Rome at any time.
After all, little Hannibal was also a generation of British masters. He finally decided that the improvement of military power must not stop, so he had the current steel artillery, which is the same as the Tang army!
Although even young Hannibal himself knew that there was a high probability that this steel artillery could not match the artillery of the Tang Army. With the same weight of steel, the power of the Tang Army's artillery was at least twice as powerful.
But when he was speechless while talking to Marcus and Wang Xuanchen, little Hannibal suddenly remembered something.
