Daqin: Signing in at the beginning is ten times the combat power of Lu Bu

Chapter 584 The Roman Crisis

Scipio looked very excited at this time, but he was not dazzled by the upcoming victory.

"Although they said they were caught in a trap, the combat effectiveness of the Carthaginian soldiers will not be affected by this. If we want to take down the Carthaginian vanguard at the lowest cost, we must use the terrain advantage reasonably. Narrow alleys, continuous mopping and harassment attacks, this will not only save the lives of our Roman soldiers, but also expand our Roman advantage in this battle."

Scipio ordered with a serious face.

"Your Excellency the Consul, please rest assured that the general will definitely pass on your instructions to all the armies in the end."

"However, judging from the current situation, the Carthaginian army is not as scary as the rumors say. You, the consul, have played tricks and turned them around. They are almost lost."

"Before, everyone compared Hannibal with you on the same level, saying that his military strength was almost the same as yours. Now, from this battle, it can be seen that Hannibal has earned his reputation in vain. There is no way to compare with you!"

"As long as our Roman army can maintain this momentum, there is no need to ask for reinforcements from the Great Qin. Maybe our own ability alone is enough to wipe out the Carthaginian army!"

The general who came to report the letter couldn't help laughing.

"It's still too early to say that there is no need for Daqin's support. It will not be too late to say this after we have wiped out all the Carthage army and regained the border fortress."

"In addition, Hannibal's current reputation is definitely not based on boasting. Since he was able to save the Carthaginian army, which was almost completely inferior, it was evenly matched with our Roman army, and even stronger than our Roman army in some aspects. It is already enough to prove its extraordinary military strength."

"Although it is said that Hannibal made a mistake this time, causing the Carthaginian army to fall into the current dangerous situation, we must not become careless when we have a small advantage, otherwise if we ruin the good situation because of this, When the time comes, extreme joy will turn into sorrow, and I am afraid it will be too late for regret.”

Scipio said seriously.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Consul, I will definitely be modest and cautious in the future, and I will never dare to be as arrogant as I am now."

The general was in a cold sweat for a while, and apologized repeatedly to Scipio.

"However, what you said reminded me that Hannibal made too many mistakes in decision-making this time. It was like a different person, and he lost his previous military level. It's not that he dug me up. pit?"

"To avoid any accidents, tell all the generals on the battlefield to keep an eye on Hannibal's whereabouts at all times. If you find him in the Carthaginian army, come back and report to me immediately."

Scipio thought for a while, then continued.

"Yes!"

After the soldier took the order, he walked out the door excitedly.

It's just that with the passage of time, the news of the frontline battle situation is all good news.

The decline of the Carthaginian army is becoming more and more obvious, and the advantage of their Roman army is getting bigger and bigger, and victory seems to be within reach.

But Scipio's mood became more and more heavy. After so many days of fierce fighting, the vanguard of Carthage was almost dead, but there was still no trace of Hannibal on the battlefield.

This made Scipio, who was still a little excited, gradually calm down. He knew that this war was developing in an unpredictable direction.

After fighting for so long, Hannibal, the supreme commander, disappeared.

Let alone Scipio, anyone who is not an idiot knows that something is wrong.

As the soul of this Carthaginian army, Hannibal could not be absent on such an important battlefield.

Moreover, according to Hannibal's habit in commanding large armies over the years, he basically went to Chen to command in person and was never absent.

According to Hannibal, the commander personally goes to the battlefield to command the battle, which can not only stabilize the morale of the army and improve morale, but also help him better analyze the situation on the battlefield, and make timely and correct tactical responses or Tactical adjustments can effectively increase the winning rate of your own army.

However, the intelligence sent from the front line showed that neither the besieged Carthaginian vanguard nor the main force in the rear found any trace of Hannibal.

Such an abnormal phenomenon made Scipio very disturbed.

Looking back on everything that happened these days, it seems a little too smooth.

First, the Carthaginian army didn't care about their Roman investigations, and just swaggered and assembled outside the fortress. The grand battle and loud shouts were no different from directly telling Rome that they were about to attack the city.

And later, when attacking the city of Rome, Carthage's vanguard seemed to have no command, and would just rush forward without thinking, and then fell into his trap.

Of the 1 Carthaginian vanguards, less than [-] can stand up now.

Such a large casualty was considered a heavy loss for the Carthaginian army of only 20.

Although these scenes are very happy to see Scipio, but these things happen too smoothly.

With Hannibal's command ability, he would never make many low-level mistakes, but in this life-and-death battle, he made all of them.

As the saying goes, there must be monsters when things go wrong, Hannibal's substandard command, and the almost free behavior of the Carthaginian army filled Scipio with doubts, but also felt a crisis.

"Could it be that there is another mystery in this war, but I haven't seen it through yet?"

Scipio thought hard in his mind, but he still couldn't get any results.

At this moment, someone pushed the door and came in from the outside.

But this time it was no longer the general who reported the battle, but Scipio's adjutant.

Seeing the panicked expression on the adjutant's face, Scipio couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.

"Master Consul, it's not good!"

"Outside our city of Rome, an extremely powerful Carthaginian army suddenly appeared. According to preliminary estimates, its number will never be less than [-], and the leader of this Carthaginian army is the Han Dynasty. Nibal!"

"We have all been deceived. Carthage's vanguard army is just a decoy. Their real goal is the city of Rome!"
