Teams of arrogant Han soldiers walked past the Venetian citizens. There was no Han face among these Han soldiers, and only the general who occasionally passed by was Han people...

However, these white soldiers of the Han army showed a look of looking down on the Venetian citizens.

It’s not that these Han soldiers are too proud, but that the Venetian Republic is too unscrupulous...

This is the first time that the Han Empire has encountered such a weak enemy for so long.

Of course, the Han soldiers subconsciously ignored the deterrent power brought by artillery.

Now, as a field army, these Han soldiers have reached the level of wearing armor for all members.

Part of these armors were made by the Han Empire, but most of them were re-finished and repaired from the battlefield.

The field legions of the Han Empire also took a big step in standardization. These armors are all of the same style of chain mail, mainly black, and there is a red battle robe on the outside.

The red robe is worn by melee soldiers, while the blue robe is worn by ranged soldiers.

The color is so bright that it is more convenient for the generals and commanders to conduct on-site analysis while watching the game and quickly distinguish the situation.

Weapons have also been planned, and the melee soldiers are divided into spearmen, sword and shield soldiers and sword soldiers.

The spearmen are generally equipped with spears, square shields, spears and protective short swords.

Swords and shield soldiers are generally equipped with spears, round shields, and one-handed waist knives.

The armor of the Great Sword Soldier can be thicker, it is a heavy chain armor, equipped with flying axes or javelins, and a two-handed great sword.

Obviously, the equipment cost of the Great Sword Soldier is higher, so the number of Great Sword Soldiers is the smallest.

The spearmen were responsible for arraying and resisting horses, and the sword and shield soldiers were responsible for melee and guarding the side and rear parts of the phalanx to protect the spearmen.

The Great Sword Soldier can only be used when breaking the formation and attacking.

Ranged troops are ordinary crossbowmen.

Whether the equips a bow or a crossbow depends on whether the soldier is good at using the bow or arrow.

Those who know how to use bows and arrows are equipped with bows and arrows, and those who don’t know how to use bows and arrows are equipped with crossbows.

Archers and crossbowmen are often arranged separately, with crossbowmen in front and archers behind.

This is the basic configuration of the field legion. The weapons and equipment seem simple, but this 100% armor-wrapped rate is enough to crush any country in the Italian League!

Of course, there were only two field legions in the entire Han Empire, and the remaining ordinary military soldiers were only wearing leather armor.

In the Han Empire, it was strictly stipulated that only soldiers who fought were qualified to wear iron armor, and iron armor was a forbidden item among the people. Like crossbows, once discovered, it would be considered a rebellion.

However, weapons such as swords, guns, swords and shields are not prohibited in the Han Empire. As long as you apply to the government and issue relevant certificates (identity and occupations and other information), you can get permission.

This is mainly to facilitate the large families and officials to equip their escorts with weapons.

Even ordinary military soldiers in charge of public security in the local area will not be equipped with a set of iron armor, and only the chief generals are qualified to wear iron armor.

Long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows are usually placed in the official database. Only when needed can local military soldiers be qualified to open the database.

Local military soldiers are equipped with ordinary cold weapons such as leather armor and swords and guns.

Iron material is an official special product in the Han Empire!

After all, the smelting technology of this era is average, and iron is a strategic material. It consumes very fast for the militarized Han Empire.

Therefore, in the eyes of Venetian citizens, the equipment was luxurious, and the Han soldiers wearing iron armor were actually the top equipment of the Han Empire's army.

The advanced weapons to summon soldiers were given by the system plug-in and had nothing to do with the national strength of the Han Empire itself.

The city entrance ceremony with great power lasted a whole day in Venice.

This is still the case that the Han army with more than 10,000 people did not all enter the city!

It may not be a big deal for a large army of ten thousand people to spread out in the open field, but in fact, there are quite a few troops. If they are arranged in a row and entered the city, it will take a long time to walk, not to mention that these teams entering the city will have to pass through the entire main road of Venice City and swear sovereignty to the citizens of Venice...

After the surrender of the Republic of Venice, the positions of the vast majority of Venetian officials and nobles did not change, so the city of Venice restored order in a very short time, and other areas of the Republic of Venice were declared!

After leaving a small number of garrisons in the city of Venice, Xiao Yunyang led an army of ten thousand people to continue moving forward.

Although Xiao Yunyang's army is an infantry corps, it does not mean that there is not a single cavalry. Xiao Yunyang's personal guards alone have hundreds of cavalrymen.

These personal guards and cavalrymen selected the oldest group from the previous orphans and young soldiers to serve.

Because these cavalry guards received several years of brainwashing and loyalty to the emperor, even if they were white faces, their loyalty was still very high.

Xiao Yunyang is actually their reborn parents. Without the orphans and teenagers' military policy of the Han Empire, these orphans will most likely die in war-torn areas.

The concept of nation in this era was very weak, and people's consciousness remained at the difference between aristocrats and civilians and even slaves, rather than the so-called nation.

The differences between countries and nations are actually proposed by the nobles. They are vested interests and naturally have to safeguard their country and nation.

Therefore, in this era, there are differences between the nobles between states and nations, but for the lower-class civilians, whoever can make them have enough food will be a good lord and a good king!

Never overestimate the conceptual division of a group of illiterate people...

At most, they have a regional consciousness, that is, locals are vigilant against foreigners.

The concept of a country and a nation is nothing more than the aristocratic class who thinks it is forcibly attached to it. However, in this era, only the aristocratic class has the right to speak, and ordinary people have no right to speak, so there will be a distinction between nations among countries.

This is also the reason why the entire Venice did not resist after the aristocratic class of the Venetian Republic kneeled down to Xiao Yunyang.

During Xiao Yunyang's expansion, what he really faced was not the entire country, but the aristocratic class of this country. Only they had the ability to mobilize the people and recruit soldiers to fight!

Ironically, the aristocratic class that often talks about the country and the nation will often be the first to abandon its original national interests when encountering conflicts in its own interests.

To put it bluntly, the aristocratic class safeguards the national interests of the country and nation only to protect their own interests. If a powerful country is willing to admit everything they have now, the knees of these aristocrats are very soft.

Therefore, after the Venetian Republic knelt down, the armies of other Italian allies had no intention of staying, retreated all the way to Lombardy in the southwest of the Venetian Republic, and formed a new line of defense there.
