Global Hearing: I Become Qin Shi Huang's Defender

Caesar didn't turn his head back, his eyes still stayed on the firefighters who were going back and forth.

"Tell me, what have you learned from this battle?"

Caesar asked.

For Octavian, he was trained as an heir.

Therefore, when fighting, Octavian is often stood by his side.

Octavian thought for a moment after hearing the words.

"Father, I think I have learned a little bit. We cannot use our thinking to measure the enemy's thinking."

After listening to Octavian's words, Caesar nodded.

But soon, he shook his head lightly again.

Octavian couldn't help but feel puzzled seeing Caesar's actions, and looked at Caesar suspiciously.

Caesar glanced at Octavian calmly, as if the casualties of the mercenary legion were not worth mentioning in his heart.

"Octavian, you are a recognized genius in Rome."

"Not only do you have unique insights on war and politics, but even many young and beautiful ladies in Rome will fall for you."

"You have to know that the most indispensable thing in the world is genius."

"It's like the young general of the Han Dynasty."

"Although he is not as tall or as strong as you, he is also about the same age as you."

"But in terms of military ability, he is far superior to you."

"So, this time, what you should learn most is not war thinking, but to know that there are places in the world that are stronger than Rome, and there are geniuses better than you in the world."

"No matter when, you can't be proud."

"do you understand?"

As he spoke, Caesar patted Octavian on the shoulder.

"Understood, father!"

Octavian nodded heavily.

……

Chapter 71 Horrible Scene!The final battle!

With the help of torrential rain.

An hour later, the fire in the Roman mercenary camp was finally extinguished.

The soldiers of the Roman infantry, who were busy running around to save lives, sat slumped on the muddy ground wet by rain, panting heavily.

As for those mercenaries.

Although, after they ran back, they also participated in the fire fighting.

But even so, after such a long time after the fire was extinguished, there was still a hint of fear in their eyes.

Thinking of those enemies riding on horses, wearing beast masks, and with green eyes, they can't help shivering.

I don't know if it's because the rain is too cold, or if the scene is just too terrifying.

"Father, the fire is out."

Octavian came to Caesar to report, but soon, he showed embarrassment, "But before the war is over, those mercenaries will inevitably have to build straw huts."

The fire burned down the mercenary camp in sevens and eighties.

Of course, the wood for tents can also be cut on the mountain.

but,

The three camps of the Roman Legion, all tents are made of canvas and linen.

Some people think that canvas and sailboat should appear at the same time, but this is not the case.

Canvas has a very long history, as early as in ancient Rome, canvas has been widely used.

Since the canvas is woven with multiple strands, it is firm, wear-resistant, compact and thick. The ancient Romans at that time first used it to make wristbands for falcon training.

The densely woven thick canvas also has good waterproof properties, and was eventually used extensively by the ancient Romans to make marching tents.

Even until modern times, the first modern parachutes were made of canvas because of its strong and wear-resistant properties.

The Romans' marching tents generally had canvas on the outside for waterproof and windproof. Under the canvas, several layers of linen were padded to keep warm.

however,

The canvas and linen they carry are limited.

These two materials, while waterproof and windproof, are also very warm.

But there is a very big disadvantage, that is, it is not resistant to burning.

Canvas is woven with multiple strands, and linen is woven with a large amount of coarse fibers. These two kinds of fabrics can be said to catch fire.

Huo Qubing led more than a thousand tigers and horses to kill the enemy and set fires everywhere.

Many soldiers were burnt and fled around with flames, igniting the marching tents that the tigers and horses hadn't had time to burn.

Although later Caesar came to fight the fire with the Roman infantry.

but now.

The damage to the marching tents in the mercenary camp has exceeded [-]%.

The military rations they brought were enough for half a month.

But the canvas and linen used in the camping tent can only be used to build the camping tent once.

Now [-]% of the marching tents have been burned down.

The only way is to use those leaves and turf to rebuild.

Although it can barely live.

But comfort, windproof and waterproof are naturally not as good as canvas tents.

at this time.

Octavian suddenly proposed.

"Father, why don't we let the soldiers of the Roman infantry regiment and the soldiers of the allies give up some tents and remove the materials for the mercenary regiment to live in?"

however,

Octavian's words had just come out of his mouth.

"no!"

Beside him, there was a sudden shout.

It was none other than the general under Caesar, Abinus, who spoke.

Abinus looked at those mercenaries who were still frightened with disdain.

"Be a Roman citizen with the pride of a Roman citizen."

"I have no objection to the allies giving up their military tents, but we Roman citizens are not obliged to provide preferential treatment for these timid, mouse-like mercenaries."

As soon as Abinus' words came out.

Several other Roman generals, as well as the Roman centurion, nodded in agreement.

As for the generals of the Allied Corps, they frowned slightly, looking at the wet mercenaries with disdain.

It is clear,

They also don't want to give out tents to these mercenaries.

These mercenaries naturally saw the contempt of the Allied Legion and the disdain of the Roman Legion.

only.

Most of the mercenaries seemed to be accustomed to these cynicism, and had no other reactions other than trembling with fear and cold.

but,

A small number of Germanic mercenaries, after noticing those contemptuous eyes and sneering at Nuanfeng's words, a hint of imperceptible hatred flashed in their eyes.

However, even these brave and skilled Germanic mercenaries known as the barbarians of the European continent.

At this time, they only dared to get angry in their hearts, and they didn't dare to show anything.

In the Roman Empire, the status of mercenaries was the lowest.

Neither the Roman generals nor the generals of the allied legions believed that it was necessary to provide help to these mercenaries.

in contrast.

From their point of view, these mercenaries did not have the consciousness of a soldier at all, they ran away like crazy when they encountered the enemy, and they were not qualified to help them.

Octavian naturally saw the reactions of these generals.

Although, he was Caesar's nephew and grandson, and later became Caesar's adopted son.

But he did not dare to stand on the opposite side of so many generals.

Without any choice.

Octavian could only look at Caesar, waiting for Caesar to decide.

Caesar didn't immediately agree, nor did he immediately refuse.

After he pondered for a moment.

"Son, tell me what you think."

Caesar looked into Octavian's eyes and said.

Octavian thought for a while, as if he was organizing his words, and then spoke slowly after a while.

"It is so, father."

"I think it is necessary to make some reforms to our military system in Rome..."

As soon as this word comes out.

The generals immediately pricked up their ears.

They are naturally familiar with the word reform.

However, if it is the reform of the military system, it is directly linked to their interests, so naturally they must listen carefully.

Octavian's words naturally spread to Caesar's ears.

Caesar did not object.

Instead, he showed an expression of interest.

"Go on."

Octavian heard the words and hurriedly continued to speak.

"For the reform, we need to wait until this battle is over and observe the fighting methods of the Han Dynasty army before making a decision."

"However, the most urgent task is to restore the morale of the mercenary army."

"Their morale is low now. Although there are casualties, their combat effectiveness is still there. There are many auxiliary arms, which are needed by our Roman infantry phalanx."

"Especially, in the face of the unique tactics and the completely different thinking of the Han Dynasty from ours, these auxiliary arms may play an unexpected role."

"If we can get some tent materials and let them rebuild the marching tents on this side of the land, the people of these mercenary groups will definitely feel grateful and restore some morale."

Octavian spoke out what was in his heart.

Although he said so.

However, whether it was him, Caesar, or the generals of the Roman Empire, they still looked down on the mercenary army.

Octavian came up with this idea.

It is entirely because the war thinking of the Han Dynasty is really terrible!
