At the same time, Carthage and Rome fought on the defensive lines.

Hannibal walked around his tent, sighing angrily from time to time, looking very irritable.

It turned out that, just as Scipio had guessed, the Carthaginian nobles got the news that Scipio had been married to the Qin Dynasty. Especially after knowing that the marriage partner was still the legendary Prince Fusu, they immediately I was scared to death!

After all, the reputation of the Prince of Qin was too great, especially his methods of conquering other countries, which were simply terrifying.

Not only did he successfully defeat the Xiongnu who had more than 100,000 cavalry in just a few months, and sealed the wolf as his vassal, even a big country like the Maurya Dynasty could not withstand his attack. It didn’t take long for him to fall apart and be completely conquered by the Qin Dynasty. Capture.

Therefore, the nobles of Carthage immediately issued a retreat order to Hannibal, fearing that he would offend the Qin Dynasty by attacking Scipio and offend the invincible god of death, causing Carthage to follow the Huns and Peacocks. The legacy of the dynasty.

That’s why the scene where Hannibal sighed just now happened.

At this moment, Hannibal’s adjutant entered the camp from outside.

“Have you done everything I told you to do?”

As soon as he saw him, Hannibal immediately asked

“Yes, Your Highness, most of the Roman spies who infiltrated my Carthaginian army have been found out, and after learning the identities of their spies, I deliberately gave them false news that we were going to withdraw. According to the estimated time , the news should have reached Scipio’s office by now.”

“There are still a few whose identities cannot be determined for the time being. I have found reasons to dispatch them to some unimportant positions so that they will not become suspicious and will no longer be able to spy on our army’s intelligence.”

The adjutant reported to Hannibal

“What about the main force I asked you to mobilize? You should have arranged them properly, right?”

Hannibal asked again

“Yes, I have moved part of the main force of our army to places outside the defense line, making it look like we are about to retreat.”

“And according to your request, I just asked them to make a circle there. After they evacuated outside the defense line for a few days, I ordered them to come back quietly along the valley and other hidden places. At this moment, they are lurking in Not far from the defense line, they will come immediately as soon as you give an order.”

The adjutant replied

“Well, you did a great job.”

After receiving the adjutant’s answer, Hannibal nodded in approval.

“Your Highness, the false news has been spread. Do you think Scipio will believe that we have withdrawn our troops?”

The adjutant asked

“If it were Scipio in the past, he would not believe it. Instead, he would think that this was my plan, and then strengthen the defensive circle of the Roman army, shrink it into a turtle shell, and then let my raid plan fail.”

“But Scipio is different now. After being married to Great Qin, he already has Great Qin, the strongest backer in the world, and his power is infinitely stronger than before. When a weak person becomes strong, , his vigilance will be lowered accordingly.”

“In addition, Rome is now in a state of complete ruins and countless political affairs are still waiting for Scipio to deal with. His judgment will also become much weaker in this mentally and physically exhausted situation.”

“Therefore, Scipio will most likely believe the news about the withdrawal of our Carthaginian army, but based on his understanding of me, he should still have some doubts in his heart.”

Hannibal’s few simple words almost fully analyzed Scipio’s psychology.

It has to be said that the person who knows you best is often your opponent.

This is the case for Hannibal and Scipio. , they have studied each other very thoroughly. It can basically be said that as soon as the other person raises his hand, the other person immediately knows what he wants to do.

“Your Highness is worthy of being an old rival with Scipio for so many years, and you can even guess his thoughts so thoroughly!”

“If your highnesses can join forces with Scipio, you will definitely have a tacit understanding. With the talents of the two of you, you might even be able to compete with Prince Fusu!”

The adjutant said with a smile.

“You are getting more and more outrageous, not to mention that with the current situation, it is impossible for me to join forces with Scipio”

“Besides, even if I really join forces with Scipio, with the combined strength of the two of us, there is absolutely no way we can be the opponent of His Royal Highness Prince Fusu!”

Hannibal said extremely seriously, his expression also full of seriousness.

“Your Highness, is Prince Fusu really that powerful? Even with the strategic talents of Your Highness, you and Scipio, you are still no match for him?”

The adjutant couldn’t believe it.

After all, he lived with Hannibal day and night every day, and he knew very well how terrifying Hannibal’s commanding ability and grasp of combat opportunities were.

If it weren’t for the Carthaginian nobles being too stupid, he believed that Hannibal would His Highness Nibal was definitely able to lead the Carthaginian army, invincible in all directions, and create a military legend!

And since Scipio can be as famous as His Highness Hannibal, and can compete with the Carthaginian army with His Highness Hannibal, he is wise and strategic. It will definitely not be much worse than His Highness Hannibal.

Talents like them are rare to see in almost hundreds of years. If the two of them have the opportunity to cooperate, they will definitely be able to amaze an era.

But it is such a person , actually admired His Highness Prince Fusu so much that he even felt that he and Scipio were far inferior compared to him?

How terrible is His Highness Prince Fusu?!

“If you have never been in my position, it is naturally difficult to understand how terrifying his military talent is. If you sit in my position, you will know how terrifying His Royal Highness Prince Fusu is!

“Every battle he leads is like his personal show, and his opponents are completely manipulated by him and applauded!”

“You must know that his opponents are not those small countries. Whether it is the Huns at the beginning or the Maurya Dynasty later, almost all of them are comparable to our Carthage!”

“The most important thing is that although Da Qin at that time had shown its demeanor as a powerful country, it was still far from what it is now. The gap with other countries was not as different as it is now. Even His Highness Prince Fusu When fighting the Xiongnu, Da Qin’s military strength was even weaker than that of the Xiongnu”

“Such a figure is far beyond what Scipio and I can compare with. With the military talents he has displayed, Scipio and I are almost no different from childish men!”

“It’s just a pity that such a great talent is not in Carthage, otherwise Carthage might really have hope of rising.”

Hannibal sighed deeply.

Before, he only knew that Fusu had strong inventive and creative abilities. Although he also had military talents, they were far less outstanding than his other aspects, so he felt that Fusu was regarded as the God of War. It’s a bit exaggerated. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Now after hearing what Hannibal said, the adjutant finally understood that he was looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. Fusu was so terrifying in the military that he definitely deserved to be called the God of War. title!

“By the way, you said before that part of the main force of my Carthaginian army was hidden near the defense line. Where was it specifically? The Roman army would still check some hidden places such as ravines and grasslands.”

Hannibal suddenly thought of this problem.

In the previous battle with Scipio, he had suffered this kind of loss. He led a force to hide in a ravine covered with tall grass, thinking about the main force. When the battle with the Roman army was fierce, he unexpectedly made a sneak attack from behind.

As a result, he was searched out in advance. If he had not reacted quickly at that time, I am afraid that the entire army would have been wiped out. Where would he be here to command the battle? day

“Don’t worry, Your Highness, I have considered this issue before, so I tried to avoid the areas where the Roman army was accustomed to inspect. Now they are hiding 500 meters northeast of the border.”

“But apart from this, there is another thing I don’t understand, that is, since we mobilized the main force to cover up others’ deception, shouldn’t it logically allow that part of the main force to stay where it is, or continue to retreat outside the defense line?

“Why do you want to bring them back again, Your Highness? If this is the case, I’m afraid it won’t last long, and Rome will become suspicious.”

The adjutant was very puzzled by this.

After all, the essence of a surprise attack is to be surprised. If the plan is exposed due to the sudden disappearance of that part of the frontline troops, and the Roman army is on guard, wouldn’t all the previous efforts be wasted?[]

“You are right. According to normal military practice, we should do what you said, because only in this way can we confuse the opponent to the maximum extent and let the opponent eventually fall into our trap.”

“But you should know that our Carthaginian soldiers and horses are not as good as those of Rome. If we want to launch a surprise attack on the Roman army, these soldiers and horses are indispensable. In order to be able to defeat the Roman army in one fell swoop during the surprise attack, we will Just take some risks.”

Hannibal explained

“Your Highness, we can definitely ask for support from above to make up for the lack of troops and horses, so that we don’t have to bring back those troops.”

“Otherwise, the possibility of our exposure is too great.”

The adjutant put forward his own suggestions.

“Request support from above? Well, this is the letter you mentioned that was just sent above. Take a good look at it yourself.”

Hannibal sneered, and then pointed to the letter from the Carthaginian noble.

With curiosity and doubts, the adjutant brought the letter on the table to his eyes and read it carefully.

As he saw the content More and more, the adjutant’s eyes gradually became gloomy, containing a lot of incomprehension and deep anger.

“.asshole! These guys are greedy for life and afraid of death! We fought bloody battles on the front line, but they only thought about their own safety. Even though we could fight the Roman army, they still wanted us to retreat immediately.”

“Don’t they know that once we retreat, Carthage will lose a lot of territory, and countless Carthage people will live in dire straits? This is simply outrageous!!”

The adjutant’s voice was very angry.���

He knew that the nobles of Carthage were greedy and selfish, but he didn’t expect that they would be so selfish and ignore the people of Carthage!

“I have long been accustomed to their short-sightedness and cowardice. With this group of so-called nobles in Carthage, I am afraid that Carthage will never rise.”

Hannibal shook his head and sighed.

Of course Hannibal would not accept the orders of those nobles.

If he really retreated like this, it would be equivalent to wasting the lives of the soldiers who died in the battle with Rome. This is their betrayal, and it is also a betrayal to the tens of millions of Carthaginian people behind the border!

In the past few years, Hannibal and the soldiers of the Carthaginian army fought hard and fought hard, and finally succeeded It eased the offensive of the Roman army, and slowly began to gain the upper hand. Victory was almost before his eyes. As a result, because Scipio’s daughter was about to marry into the prince’s palace in Qin, marrying the man who had all kinds of magical means, like Prince Fusu is like the reincarnation of a god.

Those cowardly Carthaginian worms actually asked him to retreat?

Of course, Hannibal also knew that the Qin Dynasty is now very powerful, far from being comparable to Carthage, and His Highness Prince Fusu is even more powerful. The current military god, in all the wars he participated in (Zhao Zhao Zhao), no matter what kind of disadvantage he was in, he was still invincible!

With their strength, if they collided with the Great Qin, they would be throwing eggs at rocks.

It would make him give up several years of hard work and countless sergeants. The advantage he had gained in exchange for his life was such a despicable retreat.

Hannibal was unwilling to give in, absolutely unwilling!

Even if this might offend Da Qin and the god-like His Highness Prince Fusu, he must still hold on to it. This time the fighter plane annihilated the Roman army at the border defense line!

In addition, Hannibal was still betting. He bet that Scipio was not that important in the eyes of the Qin Dynasty. Even if the regular Roman army under Scipio’s direct jurisdiction was defeated, the Qin Dynasty would He will only give some money to comfort him, and will not send troops to help.

I have to say that this is a big gamble. If he is not careful, he and Carthage will fall into a point of no return.

But in this situation, Han Nibal had no other choice.

If he really retreated like this, it would only be a temporary compromise. After Scipio calmed down the turbulent situation within Rome, the Roman army would definitely become far stronger than it is now.

By that time, the Roman army alone would be enough to crush them without the Qin army taking action.

Since they are all going to die, it is better to fight, and maybe there will be a glimmer of hope.

Therefore, after getting the Carthaginian nobles After receiving the order, Hannibal directly summoned his adjutant without saying a word, told him all about his plan, and handed it over to him for execution.

Fortunately, according to the situation reported by the adjutant, everything is going according to Hannibal’s plan. It’s going on just as I thought, which is a blessing in my mind.

“Okay, that’s it. No matter how angry we are at those Carthaginian worms, it won’t help. Now our top priority is to fight the decisive battle with the Roman army!”.
