Chapter 198: The Track of History
You should know that hundreds of years later, the Hun cavalry of Alathi swept across Rome, relying on advanced stirrup technology.
The Hun cavalry who could fight on horseback beat the cavalry without stirrups to the point of falling, while the Roman phalanx, head spear, heavy infantry, etc. were even defeated thousands of miles in front of such flexible cavalry.
If the Romans were inspired by Lin Feng and now discovered the effect of stirrups, the Huns would lose their advantage in hundreds of years.
Perhaps history will shift again at that moment...
"I hope this little thing won't attract the attention of the Romans." Lin Feng thought so in his heart, but he also knew that Rome was a country that was willing to accept advanced foreign technologies.
Even the "barbarians" conquered by them, the Romans would continue to sacrifice to the gods worshipped by the losers without any hesitation.
...
The outer ring fortifications of Caesar's Great were being built at an astonishing speed.
These two layers of defensive fortifications inside and outside can be regarded as representative works of ancient engineering.
The inner ring wall is fifteen kilometers long and the outer ring wall is nearly thirty kilometers long. They are all high walls with a height of four meters. With seven military camps that echo each other, such a huge project was completed in less than two months.
In that era without modern architectural technology, it was a miracle to be able to complete such a project.
Lin Feng was bored in the private tent in Caesar's main camp, watching the soldiers dig out good dogs frantically, and the digging of soil was used to build earth walls.
Throughout the camp, even Caesar personally took action and led the soldiers to work hard.
Only Lin Feng and Zhao Yajing stayed in the tent without doing anything.
at this time.
It has been half a month since Lin Feng and the others came to this time and space.
More than ten days ago, Lin Feng led a corpse transport team to transport the bodies of the Roman soldiers back to the camp to bury them. During this period, he also took the opportunity to retrieve his bags.
With this contribution, he received recognition from Caesar.
Thanks to Zhao Yajing's priesthood and her occasional medical skills, she quickly won respect, allowing the two to obtain a tent to live alone.
This respectful status gave the two people complete freedom without having to work on the construction site with the soldiers.
Caesar even did not restrain the two of them at all.
But Lin Feng was also tactful. Except for the time when Zhao Yajing was invited to perform rescue work, he stayed in the tent with Zhao Yajing at the time of the time he was invited to perform the rescue work, he stayed in the tent for the rest of the time and was inseparable from Zhao Yajing.
Zhao Yajing also obviously realized that the situation was not good, and without Lin Feng's protection, she would not wander around.
Such a manifestation is a manifestation of love in the eyes of others, and even various versions have been circulated throughout the camp.
In the end, the two of them had their special outfits, which became passes for major camps. When the soldiers guarding the levels saw them, they would not investigate and block them. Instead, they were very attentive to show their way.
I don’t know when Zhao Yajing became tired of Lin Feng’s side. At this time, he leaned against Lin Feng and asked in a depressed manner, “You said, can we still go back?”
In fact, Lin Feng was not confident about this, but he said unswervingly, "Yes, you must."
Zhao Yajing asked again, "Caesar lacks the strength of two legions. Do you think he still has the possibility of winning? Can history still return to its original trajectory?"
"What we can do now is believe in Caesar, because he is Caesar, and it is possible."
After saying that, Lin Feng gently helped Zhao Yajing up, walked straight to the bed, and hung his dagger and round shield on his body.
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Yajing walked up from behind, blocked Lin Feng's waist, and said with some concern.
"Today is the fifteenth day of the siege. If everything is normal, the battle will start today. The Gauls have gathered enough strength. From today on, they will launch a scattered attack. I am not at ease, so I have to go and see."
Lin Feng replied.
"Don't you take me there?" Zhao Yajing showed a rare hint of relief, saying, "Actually, sometimes I think this is good, without Sister Tang Wan, nor that annoying foreign girl. Although I can't go home, it's great to be with you."
Lin Feng gently broke free from Zhao Yajing's arms and reminded him, "Stay in the tent, the bullets are loaded, and shoot whenever you have no choice.
If a fight occurs later, I am afraid I won’t be able to take care of you.”
...
At this time, the one who was on duty in the tent of Emperor Caesar was his beloved general Anthony.
Through these days of getting along, Lin Feng has already realized that Anthony is a rare and outstanding interior talent.
He was very good at handling all kinds of tedious affairs, and even the entire army's internal affairs were taken care of, taking them all over, and managing the entire military camp in an orderly manner.
But it is obvious that Anthony is not a commander-in-chief. He has too rich feelings. Although he is brave in combat, he lacks strategic vision.
Under the halo of Caesar, he is a well-deserved general, but in fact he is not a qualified commander. This has been well proved by history.
In the big tent.
After greeting Anthony with courtesy, Lin Feng was not polite at all and asked in a slightest question, "How long will the outer ring defense be completed?"
When Anthony heard this, he immediately showed a vigilant look. He looked at Lin Feng quietly, as if waiting for the other party's explanation.
But Lin Feng's next sentence immediately made him understand what the other party meant.
"Have there any news about the Gauls outside the camp recently?"
Anthony called the guards in, gave a few instructions, and replied, "They were camping a few kilometers away, and the number of people gathered more and more. In the past few days, more and more people have appeared about one kilometer away from our camp. Do you think they will launch force reconnaissance?"
Lin Feng did not answer directly, but asked a sensitive question, "How many reserve teams are there in the camp?"
This time, Anthony did not hesitate and directly replied, "Before his death, the Germanic cavalry did not need them to build fortifications, so they were all on standby."
"I think some soldiers should be removed today and take turns to trim."
The suggestion made by Lin Feng was actually very risky. Caesar's peripheral defense was delayed for a full ten days, and the construction period had been severely lagging behind. So when he heard this suggestion, Anthony immediately pondered.
"Let no one of the retired soldiers wrap a bag of soil with their cloaks. They pile up the bags onto the camp wall together with the cloaks." Lin Feng said subconsciously in a commanding tone without thinking much.
