Chapter 630 The Roman Army with Heavy Losses
Chapter 630 The Roman Army with Heavy Losses
At this moment, Hannibal felt quite enlightened.
Although Wang Ben was also a well-known general in the Qin Dynasty, Hannibal was not an incompetent person.
In terms of fame alone, he is a generation of peerless generals resounding throughout the Western Regions, much more famous than Wang Ben.
Moreover, the 20 Carthaginian army under his command is also not weak in combat effectiveness, and it can also rank in the forefront among the armies of countries in the Western Regions and even countries in the world.
As the adjutant said, the Qin army without Ying Yu is not as terrifying as imagined, and it is not truly invincible.
Even if the 20 Qin army had other unknown means, the Carthage army had a total of [-] people. Moreover, in the battles within the Roman territory, Carthage had always been active and dominant.
Thinking of this, the light in Hannibal's eyes flickered, and a look of determination appeared on his face.
"Indeed, my Carthaginian army is not weak now. Facing the Qin army without Ying Yu, there is no need to be afraid."
"Moreover, the Great Qin army is only [-] in number, and there is a Carthage army of [-] here!"
Taking a deep breath, Hannibal looked at the adjutant and said in a deep voice.
"However, since Daqin only sent [-] troops to reinforce Rome, they definitely did not let them die in vain. There must be some means we don't know."
"Just in case, in order to ascertain the true strength of the [-] troops that came to Daqin, our troops should not all swarm out."
After the words fell, Hannibal frowned slightly, and said slowly.
Although Ying Yu was not within the territory of Rome, with Ying Yu's military ability, he would naturally send the Great Qin's [-] troops to reinforce Rome after making complete preparations.
"General, what should our army do next?"
Hearing Hannibal's words, the adjutant also nodded, although he had some doubts about the combat effectiveness of the Great Qin army.
But he didn't believe that the 5 people sent by Daqin were here to give away heads.
"Pass the order down, let the vanguard troops take advantage of the victory to pursue, and at the same time send another [-] troops to prepare to cross the river."
"As long as my vanguard troops from Carthage can charge to the front of the Daqin army camp, then let the [-] troops launch a fierce attack, while the rest of the soldiers start to move."
"As long as the strength of the [-] army of the Great Qin is found out, as long as the winning rate of my [-] army of Carthage against the [-] army of the Great Qin is more than [-]%, then I can let go to fight the [-] army of the Great Qin."
"In this battle, our purpose is not to annihilate or seriously injure the Great Qin army, but to prevent the Great Qin army from launching a sneak attack when our Carthage army is fighting Rome, and it is also just to hold back the Great Qin army's advance."
Having said that, Hannibal paused for a moment, and then continued: "However, if it can severely damage the [-] troops of Daqin, that would be great."
"Yes! General!"
As Hannibal spoke, the adjutant responded quickly.
......
At the same time, the main battlefield in Rome.
At this moment, another of Hannibal's adjutants had already led the [-] Carthaginian army to the city where the Roman army was stationed.
Without hesitation, Carthage's [-] troops directly launched a fierce attack on this Roman city.
Now the Carthaginian army has captured several cities in Rome and wiped out tens of thousands of Roman troops. The morale of the Carthaginian army can be said to have risen, and the combat power of each soldier has been fully utilized.
On the other hand, on the Roman side, because of several consecutive defeats, even the defensive city walls were taken by the Carthaginian army. Now even with Scipio personally sitting in the town, the morale of the Roman soldiers is still low and their combat power is greatly reduced.
Facing the crazy attack of Carthage's [-] troops, the Roman soldiers could only passively defend the city without the slightest initiative.
In a room above the tower.
"How's the battle going?"
Scipio sat on the main seat, looked at the adjutants below, and asked in a cold tone.
"Returning to Your Excellency the Consul, the [-]-strong army of Carthage is approaching menacingly, and our army's morale is low. Facing such a crazy attack by the [-]-strong Carthage army, we can only defend passively. In just one day, our army's defenders appeared A large number of casualties.
However, the threats and damage caused to the Carthage siege army were very few. "
The coldness in Scipio's words made several adjutants present tremble. One of them gritted his teeth and said helplessly.
After all, the adjutant handed over a battle damage report to Scipio.
"Snapped!"
After glancing at the contents of the report, Scipio slammed the table and stood up.
"How could the casualties be so heavy?"
"Although the morale of our army is low, there are still tens of thousands of troops defending the city. Although the Carthage army has a hundred thousand people, we also have a tall city wall to hold on to."
"Besides, there is no shortage of food in the city, and there is also no shortage of various war supplies. Why is our battle loss so large?"
Standing on the spot, Scipio's eyes were full of anger, as if about to erupt.
"This....."
For a moment, the several adjutants present looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn't know how to speak at all.
Seeing this, Scipio shook his head helplessly and sighed slightly.
All the tens of thousands of Roman troops suffered heavy losses, and he knew it in his heart after regaining his composure.
What he was angry with was not the incompetence of the Roman soldiers, but the fact that today's Rome, under the rule of those corrupt and backward aristocrats, has gone into decline and entered a trough.
If Rome can't resist Carthage's attack this time, then Rome, a powerful country that used to dominate the entire Western Region, may really be destroyed and disappear in the long river of history.
"What happened to the Great Qin reinforcements and the other [-] troops from Carthage?"
After a long time, Scipio forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, unwilling to suppress it, and asked in a deep voice.
"According to our army's spies."
"The other [-] troops of Carthage led by Hannibal and the [-] reinforcements from Daqin fought."
After Scipio finished speaking, an intelligence officer answered with an ugly face.
"So fast? How is the battle going?"
The light in Scipio's eyes flickered, and there was a look of expectation on his face.
The combat power and strength of the Great Qin Army have already spread throughout the world. Whether it is equipment, military accomplishment, or combat capability, the Great Qin Army is the world's top existence.
Although the Great Qin Army has only 5 troops, the [-] Great Qin Army is the only hope for Rome in this battle.
In Scipio's view, the Great Qin's [-]-strong army must have the power to fight against the Carthage's [-]-strong army, and the chances of winning are not small.
