Time Smuggling Starting from the Year 2000

The centaurs reacted very slowly, and the resignation of the dictator Fabian made their internal affairs heated up. Hannibal also took this opportunity to let the troops take a good rest in Cannae and familiarize themselves with the surrounding terrain.

Huang Xuan was bored reading something about Rome during this period before waiting for the battle to start.

Many books will say this: The Roman Senate believes that Rome should defeat Hannibal with dignity.

Huang Xuan scoffed immediately when he saw this. A typical sign of electoral politics, an upright defeat is naturally a kind of propaganda, either to the public or to the alliance, but it suppressed the entire army of Rome, with a total of 8 People, the largest number of conscripts in Roman history, seem too stupid. If it weren't for such a strong political color, the Second Punic War would not have been fought so hard.

However, Huang Xuan was also very impressed with the number of 8 people. Who said that there were fewer people in wars in ancient Europe.

At that time, China could dispatch 300,000 to 400,000 troops at a time, which can be said to be the soldiers of the whole country. For example, in the Battle of Changping, which he is most familiar with, Qin State mobilized almost all men aged 15 to 60 in the country, perhaps a million people , but if you compare the soldiers of the two sides carefully, you can find that the two sides are so different.

Rome classifies people according to their property. The wealthiest people in the first class can serve as cavalry, and the second class can only serve as heavy infantry, and then light infantry. But no matter what, unless the country is about to perish, there is no People with property want to be soldiers, but there is no way. This alone is quite different from China.

In addition, Qin State has millions of troops, Zhao State also has millions of troops, and Rome, in a narrow sense, is actually just a city. In 260 BC, Rome was still a republic, not an empire, and the entire Roman Union was formed. The military mobilization was carried out according to a Roman legion and an allied legion—of course, this was also because of the system of the Roman Republic, which prevented him from fully mobilizing. Otherwise, the first million war in European history would not have to wait that long.

Huang Xuan never gave Mr. Commas complete information, and the latter seemed not interested. Lorraine is even more addicted to mahjong and can't extricate himself...

However, Mr. Commas obviously has his own means.

Travelers will not memorize the history of all planes, but each academy also has its own methods, and human history is always traceable. Primitives would live in cold areas, but they would not live in the cold and dying glaciers. The Romans might win. Maybe it will fail. But they always have to develop...

When Mr. Commas came to Huang Xuan's room. And said: Hannibal will win several annihilation battles in the remaining time, but the result is still like a bandit. Right?

Of course, Huang Xuan was very surprised. He opened his palm, thought for a long time and said, Where do you want me to start?

How to get Cyrus to get the power, and then leave here, it's best to find something. After the novelty of the trip, Mr. Commas seemed a little bored.

Huang Xuan was dumbfounded, and said after a while: Even if we give Cyrus a traveler's authority, it will be difficult for him to do this. I thought the right you said would come later.

Mr Commas shook his head slightly.

Huang Xuan said to himself: In this era, power should consist of two parts, his blood and origin, and his military and political strength.

As he said this, he looked at Mr. Commas and suddenly laughed and said, I have an idea, let's see if we can do it.

...

The Roman legion arrived as scheduled.

The two consuls brought with them 10 Roman legions, 5 of which were the Roman Confederates, who were inferior in combat effectiveness to the Roman legions, but better than Hannibal's wretched motley crew.

For the Romans, their problem was the consuls. Two consuls meant two opinions. Worst of all, their republican system was so widely used in the army.

It can be said that the Roman army has never had any major problems, because their opponents have always been too weak. After encountering the powerful Carthaginian army, the Roman republic was of no help time and time again.

Battlefield rotation system. Hearing this name makes modern people feel stupid, of course, the Romans have made many improvements, so that this system will not be as stupid as its name, just a secondary stupidity-two consuls each exercise a day to command official rights.

Therefore, the stable Aemilius camped far away from Hannibal. After Hannibal attacked, he chose to avoid the battle. However, the next day, the new commander Farrow decided to go to war

And so he did.

The two armies confront each other. Hannibal deployed infantry on the central front and cavalry on the flanks, which was a normal tactic during the Punic Wars.

However, Hannibal had surprisingly many cavalry.

Huang Xuan, Commas and Cyrus stood in the central sequence of Hannibal, surrounded by a small number of Carthaginian cavalry, a large number of Iberian soldiers, and the Libyan Phoenician that Hannibal liked Gauls, Gauls, and various African natives.

The army of the Romans was almost 3 times that of Carthage.

Seeing the dense Roman phalanx lined up in three lines, Hannibal finished commanding, beckoned to Huang Xuan and said, Can you kill them?

certainly.

200 rand? When Hannibal laughed, his jaw would lift slightly.

Huang Xuan chuckled twice and said, Actually, we want more prisoners.

oh?

We've decided to start a new country here, maybe Italy, or Byzantium or something, so we need some slaves.

The general next to Hannibal said: Only the victor is eligible to own slaves.

We will, but I don't want to kill my own slaves, so...

Can't you help? Hannibal stared at Huang Xuan.

Huang Xuan couldn't stand his eyes and said, Don't do this to me. Although you are as famous as Napoleon, do you know how that kid died?

Hannibal frowned strangely, probably thinking of the name Napoleon.

Huang Xuan pointed to the distance and said, That's the Roman barracks. There are about 10,000 people. If they reinforce this army, you will be in big trouble, right?

The current Hannibal army is weaker than in history, and it is impossible to play the myth of defeating the strong with the weak.

What do you think? Hannibal was in a good mood talking to Huang Xuan. Before his troops lined up, three times as many people might rush over at any time.

Huang Xuan smiled, and said: It's enough to kill them, those people will run away anyway, when the battle starts, I'll kill them, but 200 talents per time.

No problem. Hannibal nodded solemnly, then watched Huang Xuan leave from a distance.

At 8 in the morning, the formation of the two sides was completed.

In this kind of war, the rear is basically safe. After heavy troops, you don’t have to worry about shells, stray bullets, missiles and energy cannons. Mr. Commas found a slightly higher place. Spread out the straw mat, and pulled Cyrus to start the barbecue.

Huang Xuan looked at it with a smile, and when he got closer, he realized that three large energy screens had been opened in front of him, playing the battlefield from all angles.

You came just in time. Mr. Commas called Huang Xuan and said, It looks like a fight is about to happen. The Romans started to move forward, and these people in front wanted to throw their guns.

The javelin is the most powerful weapon of the Roman Legion. It has enough penetration to kill heavy infantry, and it is also very economical to reuse. If the missiles made by Martin can be recycled, they will be able to monopolize the Iraqi market.

The elite infantry on both sides looked the same. The African soldiers also wore Roman heavy infantry armor, some from disarming and some from Cannae's contribution. This is the granary of the Roman army, and the occupation of this place was the main reason for the decisive battle of the Romans.

Use an energy cannon? Mr. Commas asked Huang Xuan, who now always consults Huang Xuan.

No. Huang Xuan shook his head lightly and said, The Carthaginian army cannot become slaves. Then we would have no support. The Romans are different.

Farrow commanded the Roman legion to press on the whole line, and the whole army lined up. This is the most orthodox attack method.

Hannibal ordered his central line to protrude forward to meet the Roman central phalanx, while those on both sides began to outflank. His strongest Numidian cavalry was on the right flank, but today Hannibal's younger brother's Liberian and Gaulish cavalry are far superior. Almost as soon as they made contact, they routed the Roman cavalry on the opposite side.

Although the number of the Romans was 3 times that of Hannibal's army, Hannibal's cavalry was 10 times that of the Romans. Compared with these African and Gaul cavalry who came and went quickly, Roman cavalry were more accustomed to dismounting and not fighting. Thousands of miles apart, but the combat methods of the Chinese and the Romans are surprisingly similar. ,

Xiao He said in an exclamation tone: This is the famous pincer attack.

Is it famous? Huang Xuan asked.

Ning Ao interjected: Shouldn't be as famous as Da Sixi, I personally think. (.
