My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 241 The Ten Sages of the Wu Temple and the Roman Army

Roman Empire, Pisa

In the handsome tent, the general with blood-colored pupils opened his eyes.

The white hair on his head did not bring about a feeling of twilight. On the contrary, the aura lingering around him was creepy.

"Soldier." The man casually called the Roman sergeant who was guarding the entrance of the camp. "What time is it now? You don't need to elaborate, just give a rough outline."

"Yes!" The young soldier on guard walked in quickly and reported, "We camped here last night, and it is now noon on the second day."

It's only been half a day?He stayed in the magical girl world for three whole days!

The man, that is, Shuo Yue who "woke up" was thoughtful.

"Xiaoming-san?"

[Additional explanation: The passage of time in different time and space is not parallel, but each has its own rules, and fluctuates up and down within a certain baseline value. 】

"Understood, that means the time flow rate ratio between the two worlds is not fixed, right?"

[Correct answer]

After receiving the explanation, Shuo Yue looked at the young soldier in front of him, and suddenly recalled the knowledge about the Roman Empire's army that he had gained in the magical girl world.

There are four types of Roman soldiers. The first type is juvenile soldiers or light infantry. They are the youngest, most flexible and agile, but the least trained; the second type are young soldiers, who are slightly older and more experienced; The first category is middle-aged soldiers, with an average age of about 30 years old. They are mature, tenacious, and experienced, and they are the backbone of the entire army; the fourth category is adult soldiers, who are the oldest and stable.

Of course, there were mercenaries from other places, such as Balearic slingers and archers from the Aegean Sea, who often fought together with the young soldiers of the ancient Roman army.

Based on this knowledge point, we can easily realize the problem:
First of all, although the lovely His Majesty Nero said that she used the legion to "supervise" Shuoyue, in fact, this is nothing more than her way of transferring military power in a disguised form, and when dispatching the army, Nero was also in front of a group of non-commissioned officers, The red robe that symbolizes the military governor, that is, the army commander, will be put on for him personally.

Secondly, out of fear of disappearing and being discovered, Shuoyue, the supreme commander of the legion, ordered other people not to guard the entrance of her camp before leaving this world. However, when she returned today, there were soldiers standing guard at the entrance.

In the end, the soldier standing at the door turned out to be the weakest young soldier in the legion - Shuo Yue always felt that supervision meant more than guarding the door.

"Did the airborne governor really arouse resistance from the nobles and the Senate?" Shuo Yue whispered to herself with a smile.

During the period of the head system of Nero, the supreme commander of the army was no longer the consul, but the head of state, but not every head of state was willing to personally lead troops to fight, so the governor appointed by the head of state to take office in the head of state (Legatus Augusti, Meaning the emperor's envoy) became the most common commander of the Roman army.

The governor who had military power and was directly appointed by Augustus (Nero) was also called the "agent of the principal" because he was directly responsible to Augustus himself and could directly contact the highest authority of the Roman Empire.

Shuo Yue went from being an airborne servant to becoming such a high-ranking and powerful figure. It can be said that he reached the sky in one step.

Precisely because of this - the original commander of this legion may have been dissatisfied for a long time, right?
After all, during the Augustus period, the officers of the Legion and the Guards were all served by members of the Senate and knights. Ordinary soldiers could not be promoted to high-ranking officials in the Legion. At most, they could only serve as senior centurions in the Legion. As for the position, only people of noble and knightly background can serve as senior officers.

Governors like Shuo Yue, who were directly appointed and dismissed by the emperor, undoubtedly touched the cake of some people, such as the original commander of this legion.

The two young soldiers placed at the door of his commander's tent are the provocation of the former commander: he can mobilize soldiers on his own initiative today, and tomorrow he can bring soldiers loyal to him to mutiny and replace Shuo Yue, a figurehead.

"...Nero, Nero, you really gave me a big problem."

After Shuo Yue muttered to herself without any respect, she walked out of the tent.

It was only half a day after the army arrived in Pisa, trenches had already been dug around the barracks, and the extra soil was piled up close to the fence posts to increase the thickness and firmness of the fence.

Thousands of soldiers, led by centurions, received bread, fat and bacon from the treasurer in an orderly manner, enjoying a rare lunch time. When they saw the new moon, everyone put down their food and respectfully salute.

After experiencing several generations of improvement and evolution, the legions of the Augustus period became more and more professional, and had their own uniqueness in every detail of marching and fighting.

"Governor!" Not far away, the scout sent by Shuo Yue to find out the news quickly swallowed the bread in his mouth and trotted over. The white-haired young man waved his hand casually, indicating that he should accompany him.

"Soldier, what's your name?"

"Yes, my name is Vadim Rosario!" The middle-aged man who was once Nero's guard, accepted the commander of Shuoyue, and then resigned on his own initiative, voluntarily downgraded to an army scout, tapped his chest and hid The frenzy in his eyes.

"Then, Rosario, I'm looking forward to the information you bring." "Yes!"

After a brief walk around and giving enough hints, Shuo Yue took Rosario back to the commander's tent.

The news that the governor had woken up and returned to the camp with the patrolmen was passed on by some people and sent to someone at the other end of the camp.

----

"I went all the way north and walked along the Mediterranean coast. First, before the stars appeared, I discovered the enemy's ships and camps stranded on the coast. Then I went deep into the land and followed the enemy when the morning star lit up. The transportation team found traces of them hiding in the village."

As Rosario spoke, he took out two roughly drawn terrain maps.

"The former camp is not overly guarded, so I recorded detailed information, but the latter stronghold is heavily guarded, and the patrol team's action route is too strict. I dare not go forward, so I can only roughly write down the general information. Please Forgive me."

"It doesn't matter, you've done a good enough job." Shuo Yue responded casually. Unexpectedly, Rosario suddenly became excited and responded loudly:

"Thank you for your approval!"

"...Hmm." Shuo Yue couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth as she looked at the uncle with thick dark circles under his eyes and a light of faith shining in his eyes.

The spiritual power he possesses is indeed from that famous general. He only temporarily took over Nero's Guards for a period of time, but some soldiers gave up their original favorable conditions and were willing to serve as a soldier under his command.

Not only this uncle, but according to Shuoyue's knowledge, there are dozens of people who resigned from the position of Guards and downgraded to become legionnaires voluntarily!

You know, those who are qualified to become the Emperor's Guards are all soldiers with outstanding military exploits or nobles with distinguished backgrounds!
The reason for this situation is not because Shuo Yue's tiger body shook and he exuded the aura of king and domineering, but because of a certain skill in the servant's spiritual base:
[Ten Philosophers of the Martial Arts Temple: A]

As a famous general in the martial arts temple, this avenger combines the resentment and admiration of countless people, and is also a passive resident skill that combines the command and advice of a military advisor.

The so-called command and advice are the standard equipment for followers of the military division, and it is also the reason why a certain Zhuge Kongming had to work overtime all night—"the command of the military division" and "the advice of the military division".

One of the two skills can analyze the battle situation and give useful suggestions for our situation, and the other can bring out the maximum strength of the soldiers, including yourself, and its role in marching and fighting can be imagined.

The combination of the two skills [Ten Philosophers of the Martial Temple], when used up to A level, has almost the same effect as brainwashing and hypnosis.

As long as the legions accepted Shuo Yue's command, their loyalty to him would increase at a speed visible to the naked eye, not to mention that Shuo Yue also led their group of remnants to defeat the strong with the weak, causing the enemy to flee in panic.

With a slightly embarrassed cough, Shuo Yue picked up the map drawn by the scout this morning and asked:
"Camp No. [-], which is the camp stationed by the sea, and Camp No. [-] hiding in the village. In your opinion, how many enemy troops are there in these two places?"

"Based on the analysis of the number of camps, the number of enemies in Camp No. 500 should be around [-]; the number of enemies in Camp No. [-] should be around [-]."

"Really..." Shuo Yue couldn't help but frown.

Logically speaking, since the United Roman Empire, that is, the Roman emperors under the crown bomber Leif, transported troops from the sea, there are two ways for the arriving troops:

The first is to set up a stronghold at the landing point and station a large number of troops to prevent Nero from sending troops to capture it. Then he fights steadily and sets up supply lines from point to surface. Finally, the war spreads to all parts of the hinterland of Rome, leaving Nero exhausted and the Alps. Get more advantages on the main battlefield.

The second is to give full play to mobility, break into pieces at the moment of secret landing, break through the Roman Empire's encirclement network in a covert manner, carry out guerrilla warfare, or sneak into key Roman cities, and finally cooperate with the inside and outside when the army arrives to quickly defeat the city's defensive forces. .

But what happened to the [-] enemy troops stationed on the coastline reported by the scouts?Even if we adopt the first method, such a number of people is too meager, right?

Based on the number of a large army, does the United Roman Empire really think that these troops can hold the stronghold?

Even the Spartan warriors who fought in the bloody battle at Thermopylae could not withstand the iron hoofs of the Persian army!
Suddenly, Shuo Yue looked at her hands and suddenly realized a possibility.

"Send the order and notify the first line (four battalions of more than 2000 people) to prepare. We will set off in the afternoon and go to the enemy's second stronghold. We will send another one..."

"I disagree!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a tit-for-tat voice, and as the curtain of the handsome tent was opened, a man wearing scales and looking extremely heroic strode in, looking at Shuo Yue without fear. .

"Why don't you go and recover the landing point of the United Empire? Have you forgotten His Majesty Nero's order?"
