at the same time.

In the Mediterranean, at the defensive line of Rome and Carthage.

At this moment, all the Roman soldiers were beaming with joy, with happy smiles on their faces.

“After fighting for so long, the Carthaginians are finally retreating! I can finally go back to live the life of a hot bed with my wife and children!”

Those Roman soldiers stationed on the outermost layer of the defense line gathered around a bonfire, drinking and eating meat. Everyone was singing and dancing, just like a festival.

Because after so many days of continuous spying, the final results were all It shows that Hannibal is about to lead the Carthaginians to withdraw from the defense line, which they have completely believed to be true.

In addition, they have conducted several large-scale investigations around the defense line recently, and they have never found anything about Carthage. The traces of the Carthaginians made the garrison soldiers even more convinced that the Carthaginians were really going to evacuate!

It just so happened that Scipio’s taxation was initially effective today. After receiving the taxes from the nobles, the treasury was suddenly full..

And in order to celebrate the successful canonization of Princess Xu Sophie and the formal engagement between Princess Sophie and the legendary Prince Fusu.

Therefore, a lot of supplies were distributed to the army on the defense line. This That’s what makes them so happy – celebrating here

“Are we a little too lax like this? Lord Scipio has personally ordered that no matter what happens, as long as our Roman army is still on the border, we must not take it lightly.”

“Not to mention that the Carthaginian army should not completely lower their guard just because of some suspected retreat behaviors. They must always remain vigilant and never relax for a moment.”

A Roman soldier hesitated for a while, but finally couldn’t help but remind him.

After all, they are too lax like this. If a team comes from all sides at this time, they may not even have a chance to fight back. Soon they will be They would be annihilated!

Although they were only a small part of the entire Roman army, and most of the main troops were camped inside the defense line, what they guarded was the most important front line of defense.

In the past, the reason why the Roman army was In the battle with the Carthaginian army, they were able to gain an early advantage because of the advantageous terrain of this defensive line that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and coupled with the continuous support from the army at the rear, they were able to defeat the Carthaginian army again and again..

Without this line of defense, the difficulty of the Roman army would probably be reduced by more than half!

And the worst result is that if the Carthaginians occupy this line of defense, then the advantage of being easy to defend and difficult to attack will come from Rome. The army suddenly transferred to the Carthaginian army.

Originally, the combat effectiveness of the Roman army and the Carthaginian army was evenly matched, but after this line of defense changed hands, the geographical advantages waxed and waned, and the Roman army’s strength was almost the same. May be the opponent of the Carthaginian army again!

By that time, their entire Roman army will be like a lamb to be slaughtered, and whether they live or die depends entirely on the Carthaginian army.

The consequences will undoubtedly be very serious, because once the Roman army If defeated, the entire Roman hinterland will be exposed to the weapons of the Carthaginian army, and they may even march towards the Roman capital!

By then, Rome will really not be far away from being destroyed.、

“You are still young and have just joined the army, so you don’t know the twists and turns involved! Sometimes, you can choose not to accept some orders from above. Just like what Da Qin said, when you are outside, you will not accept your orders. This is also the case for us.”

“Yes, in my opinion, Your Excellency Scipio is too cautious. Our Roman army is not weaker than Carthage. In addition, Rome has already married the powerful Qin State. Going to war with us is equivalent to Start a war with Da Qin!”

“Nowadays, everyone can see the military strength of Da Qin. Not only is the equipment advanced and sophisticated, the soldiers and horses are also strong, and there are many experienced commanders who are well versed in military law.”

“Not to mention His Royal Highness Prince Fusu, who is known as the God of War. I can still vividly remember how he killed 200,000 of our Romans with tens of thousands of people and left nothing behind! I am afraid that he alone is enough to be worth an army of millions!”

“So today’s Qin army is completely worthy of the name of the first army. Which country in the world dares to touch their tiger’s beard? If Hannibal dared to make any collision, he would be seeking his own death!”

When it comes to Fusu, all the Roman garrison can’t help but feel a sense of reverence and even fear in their hearts.

After all, this man is so terrifying!

The army seems to be invincible in his hands. The unfavorable magic weapon blade can always hit the enemy’s weakest area every time, and then kill it with one blow!

Sometimes they will also fantasize that if Fusu is their commander-in-chief, maybe Carthage’s The capital city has been conquered by them!

“Yes, I heard that after the nobles of Carthage learned about the marriage between Rome and Qin, they immediately sent a lot of gifts to Qin, hoping to use this to pray for forgiveness from Qin.”

“Even the rulers and nobles of Carthage were so scared. How could Hannibal fly into the sky?”

“So what if there is more unwillingness? Don’t you have to sneak back to Carthage in despair in the end?”

“My brother’s analysis is really good. We have worked hard here for so long. We live a life of fear with our heads tied to our belts every day, and we don’t have enough to eat or wear warmly every day.”

“Now that we finally know that the Carthaginians are about to withdraw, and so much material has been distributed from above, of course we have to relax completely!”

Those Roman soldiers claimed to be veterans for many years and thought they had completely understood the situation, so no one took the recruit’s reminder seriously at all.

They were still singing and dancing, eating meat with big mouthfuls. , there were fewer and fewer wine jars with wine around, and more and more wine was consumed.

Therefore, in the second half of the night, most of the Roman frontline garrison troops were drunk and unconscious, and they were just like this. Lying on the ground, the sound of sleeping sounds came one after another.

Even the soldiers who had to stand guard that day were drunk. Although they were not so drunk, their bodies were crooked and they could hardly open their eyes.

Under such circumstances, let alone observing the enemy situation in the distance, I am afraid that even the enemy has jumped in their faces, and they may not be able to detect it.

Therefore, the entire position does not know that danger is coming! At this time.

Not far from the Roman garrison position, several soldiers poked their heads out and were overjoyed to see the Roman garrison sleeping together.

They were Carthaginian soldiers who had been killed by Hannibal a few days ago. He was specially sent to observe the situation of the Roman garrison.

Having been an old rival for so many years, Hannibal naturally knew the places where Scipio most often asked Roman soldiers to search and sweep.

However, when Scipio maintained command in the past, he would change it from time to time. After a search strategy, Hannibal and the others had no chance to take advantage of it.

However, now that Scipio was trapped by the domestic political affairs of Rome, he was almost in a state of semi-freedom with the Roman army.

Without the commander’s next order, Rome The defensive garrison was naturally Xiao Gui and Cao Sui. When searching for enemy traces, they still searched in several areas that Scipio had fixed before.

This also gave Hannibal an opportunity. He assigned several capable The reconnaissance soldiers who were good at hiding formed a reconnaissance team and lurked on the edge of the search area.

In the end, just as Hannibal expected, the reconnaissance team successfully avoided the raids and searches of the Roman garrison and successfully infiltrated the Roman garrison. The surroundings were lurking.

Hannibal’s task for the reconnaissance team was to stay nearby for seven days. If there was still no movement from the Roman garrison within seven days, they would immediately retreat and replace the team with another team to continue lurking.

And this reconnaissance team has already After staying here for six and a half days, the dry food reserves had already been eaten up, and it was obviously time to retreat.

Fortunately, Huangtian paid off and gave them a huge harvest on the last day of their retreat!

“You immediately report the situation of the Roman garrison here back to the army and inform His Highness Hannibal.” (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

“A few of us will stay here and continue to guard, always observing the movements of this group of Roman soldiers. If the situation changes, I will immediately send out a signal flare to remind you.”

The captain of the reconnaissance team issued an order to the youngest soldier among them.

The danger of continuing to lurk is self-evident.

Not only is there the risk of being discovered at all times, but also when big changes occur in the Roman army, In order to transmit this information back immediately, they must launch special signal flares.

This kind of signal flare is evolved from the fireworks and firecrackers in Daqin. After special processing and production, when the signal flare is launched, it will It emits a dazzling light and is accompanied by a loud sound[]

Even if it is several kilometers away, you can still observe it clearly.

However, if the reconnaissance team did this, in addition to being able to deliver news to the Carthaginian army, they would undoubtedly be discovered by the Roman garrison and fall behind the enemy.

What awaits them next is most likely death, or even painful torture that is worse than death!

In comparison, the security of transmitting information is undoubtedly much greater than continuing to lurk.

However, conveying information is something that needs to be concealed. If there are too many people, the target will be too big, and there may be situations where each other will be dragged down.

Therefore, it is destined that only one person can go, and everyone else has to stay where they are, bearing huge risks.

The young soldier knew this very well

“Captain, you should go and deliver the message to His Highness Hannibal. I am not as experienced as you, and my body skills are not as strong as yours. It is safer for you to go out and deliver the message. Just let me stay here and continue to lurk.”

This is naturally the young soldier’s excuse.

It’s just to take on this dangerous mission and leave safety to other teammates.

“This is my order. As a soldier, your greatest duty is to accept and execute the order!”

The captain of the reconnaissance team scolded the young soldier.

“Those of us will die when we die. Anyway, we have nothing to worry about at home, and we are not too young. This life is probably over.”

“But you are different. You are much younger than us, and there are still great times worth experiencing. You are the future of our Carthage!”

Having said this, the captain of the reconnaissance team and other team members all looked at the young soldier, with eager expectations in their eyes. The young soldier suddenly felt the weight of the mission.

“yes!”

In the end, he embarked on a journey to deliver the message with complicated and sad emotions.

The remaining scouts in the scout team looked at the Roman garrison not far away, their eyes becoming extremely firm. Seeing death as home.

With the earnest anticipation of the soldiers, news about the Roman garrison soon reached the ears of Hannibal, the Carthaginian army.

“very good! I have deliberately hidden it for so long, and the Roman army finally showed its relaxation!”

Hannibal looked very excited.

Ever since he decided to fight Rome to the death, Hannibal has been taking advantage of the Romans’ speculation about him.

Hannibal knew that those Romans would think that he had heard about Rome and the Qin Dynasty. Marriage, and the object of the marriage was the legendary Prince Fusu. Fearing the powerful military strength of the Qin Dynasty, he would inevitably lead his army to retreat.

Hannibal took this opportunity to deliberately create the impression that their Carthaginian army was about to withdraw. The illusion of a defensive line was intended to paralyze the Roman army to relax their vigilance and be careless.

However, the Roman army had not shown such a state for many days, which made Hannibal almost lose confidence.

Moreover, Ever since the Carthaginian nobles ordered him to withdraw, they would come to inquire about their retreat time from time to time.

Seeing that there seemed to be no movement on the Carthaginian army, they urged him several times.

In order not to be ignored by Carthage The nobles discovered him and disrupted his plan to attack the Roman army. This made Hannibal continue to confuse the Roman army and at the same time, he had to find various excuses to deal with the Carthaginian nobles.

This made Hannibal feel Hannibal was extremely annoyed.

Especially after learning about the rapid changes in the Qin Dynasty through Daqin Daily and various information channels, Hannibal felt even more irritated.

After all, after the surprise attack on the Roman army, his next enemy was very likely to Maybe it will be Great Qin!

This is an enemy hundreds of times more powerful than Rome. How should he deal with it?

Not to mention that Great Qin also has the military god, Prince Fusu! There is simply no hope of victory for the Han Dynasty.

Nibal could only force himself not to think about these things and concentrate on the Roman army.

Fortunately, after so many days of irritability and depression, Hannibal and the Carthaginian army finally saw the light of day. When they arrived The opportunity you’ve been waiting for!

“Pass my order, all troops must assemble!”

Hannibal’s voice echoed throughout the three armies.
