As soon as Wang Xuanchen's words came out, little Hannibal felt slightly at peace.
Although, although it is still not certain whether the new weapons of the Tang Empire are what the letter said, at least we have a common opinion, which is better than being caught blind.
As soon as Marcus opened his mouth, little Hannibal was instantly overjoyed.
Although no one knows whether Rome can deal with the big trouble of the Tang Army this time, but in general, at least there is an idea. If you can figure out what medicine the other party sells in the gourd, this is at least an idea!
A hard road is better than no road at all. Little Hannibal then asked, "You are all the elites of Rome. As the emperor of Rome, I am here to add an additional position of legion commander to the two of you."
However, since we can speculate on this musket issue, we hope both of you can give us some advice on what to do!"
When little Hannibal said this, both Marcus and Wang Xuanchen took a deep breath, feeling terrified.
Even a great hero like Hannibal Jr. uttered such a tone. It seems that the future of Rome is indeed not good. But now they finally have some information. The two thought about it. Among them, Wang Xuanchen was the first to say, "I see this musket."
It is very possible that the spears were indeed produced from artillery. Your Majesty may not know that the spears in China are huge."
"I understand. The largest javelin in Europe is not that big. What do you mean?"
"If the Tang army really used artillery to fire long spears, I think it would be more than a dozen at a time. I'm afraid it would be very powerful."
Wang Xuanchen roughly imagined that once the artillery fires a projectile, it is as thick as an arm, and some are as thick as a thigh. The thigh is equal to the thickness of more than a dozen spears, so of course it can fire more than a dozen spears.
Although I always feel that something is wrong, thinking about it rationally, the situation can only be like that - that is, what the letter said.
After Wang Xuanchen finished speaking, Marcus nodded and said, "Your Majesty, since artillery is used to fire spears, these spears should be able to fly like arrows fired from crossbows. If they fall on our soldiers,
He must have been seriously injured instantly."
Marcus is worthy of being a Roman elite, and he has already figured out a way in the blink of an eye, "Although this method is powerful, due to the limitations of the artillery itself, and at the same time, it is also doubtful whether the spear can really be fired by the artillery. The Tang Empire may not be completely
This solved the problem. In short, according to my opinion, it is a new weapon of the Tang Empire.
The performance and reliability should not have stabilized yet. In other words, first of all, they should still be unable to transfer large quantities of artillery to Europe. There is no need to worry about the safety of Rome for the time being, so your Majesty can rest assured on this."
When little Hannibal heard these words, he couldn't help but feel greatly relieved - Rome was so unlucky that it had been fooling around for hundreds of years. Now he had finally managed to reorganize the internal situation in Rome, but it happened to happen
The Tang Empire is such a powerful enemy, but fortunately, at least I have a good eye for people. Look at this newly recruited young man, how capable and reliable he is!
However, before the next step was finished, little Hannibal smiled and gently touched his palm, but did not interrupt. He nodded and signaled Marcus to continue speaking, and then the young minister continued, "If the Tang army can transport enough
artillery, or large enough artillery, then it would be difficult for Rome to deal with it. Our city walls would be difficult to withstand the gnawing of a large number of artillery. Since the other party has to use the method of firing long guns, it means that the other party only has a small number of artillery.
, and since it is a new item, its use should be quite limited. In other words, for Rome, strengthening the city walls was the way to fight against the Tang Empire!"
"City wall?"
Little Hannibal thought about what Marcus said. The spear was heavy. If it flew like an arrow or a javelin, it might have a devastating blow to the Roman legions. However, Rome was already on the defensive!
In other words, the Roman army did not need to go out to fight the Tang Empire army, it was just defensive. Since it was to defend the territory, this matter was not that troublesome.
As Marcus just said, Rome just needs to strengthen its walls!
After thinking for a while, little Hannibal deliberated, and then said excitedly, "The spear can fly like a bow and arrow, which is scary, but it also has special defense methods. I think we can not only strengthen the city wall, but also prepare it in the castle.
Good canvas, double-layered canvas can effectively intercept these terrible weapons!"
Using wet cloth to defend against bows and arrows is a common method of defending cities in China's history.
Although there is no record of whether Rome also had such a method, little Hannibal now knew a lot about the traditional combat methods of the Chinese army, and he thought of this idea in the blink of an eye.
Little Hannibal said this.
At first, both Wang Xuanchen and Marcus felt a little nervous, or to be precise, uneasy, because in the final analysis, no one knew whether this information was true or not, and whether the speculations in it were reliable. Everyone just felt that the conjectures and analysis in it could be trusted.
, after all, I haven’t personally verified anything.
However, when little Hannibal added this, everyone's inexplicably uneasy mentality suddenly felt like it had landed. In an instant, they felt that this matter was much more appropriate. This decided the strategy and ideas, and everyone hit it off immediately.
Study the details that add up to your next steps.
As the new weapons were sent all the way out of China, across the Pamir Plateau and the frozen soil of Eastern Europe, and over the cold ice fields of the northern Alps, and finally delivered to the forward base of the Tang Dynasty Forbidden Army, the Romans also began to plan intensively.
Regarding defense matters, whether in the Tang Dynasty or Rome, not only the soldiers on the front line began to prepare for war, but the monarchs and ministers within the country also gradually began to lose sleep.
The grand strategy of cannibalization is no longer a hidden strategic secret for the Tang Dynasty, but has become semi-public. This itself gradually became more and more embarrassing after the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty realized this.
People become anxious.
Of course, the most important anxiety is the war itself.
As the saying goes, "In ancient times, we competed for morality, in the Middle Ages, we competed for wisdom, and today we compete for strength." This sentence was once used by Chinese literati to lament the arrival of the Warring States Period. It refers to the entire process from the Zhou Dynasty's unification of the world to its subsequent disintegration.
.Nowadays, there is no great empire in the whole world that has unified all places, but the current situation can indeed be called troubled times!
