Subsequently, under the transmission of orders at all levels, the Carthaginian army began to gather rapidly.

After a while, a small number of main troops originally stationed in various places, including those previously sent by Hannibal to confuse the opponent, also gathered here.

Although the various sergeants looked a little weak because the Carthaginian nobles had cut off their supplies, they were all very energetic and their eyes were full of fighting spirit.

This is the complete lineup of the Carthaginian army!

“All the troops have been assembled and are waiting for His Highness to issue orders!”

After the team was counted, the adjutant reported loudly to Hannibal.

“very good.”

Hannibal nodded and stood at the front of the team.

“The target of our attack this time is familiar to everyone, and we are all old opponents. It is the Roman army thousands of meters away from us!”

“Now that they are all asleep in their own dreams, it is a good time for us to attack!”

Hannibal’s voice was powerful and his words were penetrating.

The soldiers below���After saying this, everyone became very excited.

After all, they had been fighting the Roman army for so many years, and they had all watched helplessly as their teammates, who had been with them day and night, died tragically under the butcher’s knife of a Roman soldier, more than once.

I have even seen how the Romans persecuted their Carthaginian people for no reason after they invaded the border, resulting in the death of countless Carthaginian families.

This made them all have a bloody feud with the Roman army. Now they finally had the opportunity to take revenge. How could the soldiers not be excited when they could kill their enemies with their own hands.

If it weren’t for the fact that they were making a surprise attack this time and were afraid of waking up the enemy, they would have shouted out in excitement!

“However, before I attack, I have to tell you something. Regarding this matter, I have been hiding it from you, and there is no good opportunity to say it.”

“But now that we are about to go to the battlefield, I think it is time for me to tell you.”

Hannibal looked at the dark crowd of soldiers below, took a deep breath, and then said solemnly:”Actually, the Carthage nobles gave me an order a long time ago, telling us not to continue to garrison, but to give up. Line of defense, lead all troops to evacuate here.”

As soon as these words came out, the Carthaginian soldiers below were stunned for a moment, and then an extremely angry look immediately appeared on their faces.

“These damn nobles! How could you be so selfish and greedy!”

“It’s too abominable. There are still many Carthage people living behind the defense line. If we retreat, won’t they die miserably under the enemy’s butcher’s knife!”

“In order to protect their own lives and wealth, they might even hand over the country, so why would they care what happens to the subjects of Carthage?”

“The corrupt nobles mistook me for Carthage! If they hadn’t been suspicious of His Highness Hannibal and refused to provide support many times, why would our Carthaginian army still be wandering around the defense line after so many years!”

The soldiers had tried to lower their voices as much as possible, but they still couldn’t resist the anger in their hearts at the shameless behavior of the Carthaginian nobles.

“Everyone, calm down first,”

Hannibal waved his hand.

The soldiers below all respected Hannibal extremely, so although they were very angry, they still restrained themselves, and soon the army became quiet again.

“What I want to tell you is that this plan to raid the Roman army is entirely my personal idea, so to some extent, I have violated the orders of those nobles.”

“Moreover, I believe that everyone should have heard about the marriage between Rome and Qin. You should also know what this means when we conduct a surprise attack on the Roman garrison.”

Hearing this, all the Carthaginian soldiers below were nervous.

Of course they knew what would happen. Once the surprise attack on the Roman army was successful, Scipio, who was desperate, would definitely ask Qin for help.

As an in-law of Rome , The Qin Dynasty will most likely send its own troops to support Rome.

Then, they will not only face the extremely vicious Roman army, but also those who can crush them at any level. , the terrifying Qin army that can be called the best in the world!

There is no doubt that by that time, all of them will most likely die.

It can even be said that this is a road to death.

“Therefore, if anyone is unwilling to disobey the orders of the nobles, or is afraid of the Roman Qin, you can leave the team now, and I will never stop you!”

“It’s human nature to be afraid. I won’t blame you for this, and I can also promise that I will never set a trap to harm you behind your back. I will settle the military pay you deserve in one go and wait until When our army sets off, you can go home directly.”

Hannibal looked around, without much expression on his face.

However, after dozens of seconds, it was still quiet below, and no one from the Carthaginian army came out.

All the Carthaginian soldiers , everyone’s waists were very straight, and their feet seemed to have taken root on the ground, without any wavering.

Their eyes were full of anger, but also mixed with indomitable determination.

“Your Highness, just take us to charge! We Carthaginian soldiers were never cowards!”

“I would rather die than abandon so many Carthage people and protect those selfish and greedy idiots!”

“That’s right, under the rule of this group of selfish and greedy nobles, Carthage will be destroyed sooner or later. Since death is inevitable, instead of shrinking like this, it is better to fight at the last moment, at least this life will not be in vain..”

The Carthaginian soldiers were all in high morale and showed no intention of retreating.

“In fact, you don’t need to be so pessimistic. Although Rome is said to be the in-law country of Qin, their relationship is not as simple as we imagined.”

“With the current huge power of the Qin Dynasty, they definitely want to annex Rome. For this reason, even if they send troops to support Rome, they may not kill us all. Everyone still has a glimmer of hope!”

The adjutant also said beside him.

Seeing this scene and hearing the words of the sergeants below, Hannibal was both excited and grateful.

“Well, since none of you are backing down! Then I will regard you all as my Hannibal allies!”

“From now on, there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates, everyone is a fearless warrior!”

“This time, we must completely destroy the Roman garrison!”

“I will never return Rome until I break it!”

Hannibal announced to everyone

“yes!”

“I will never return Rome until I break it!”

Subsequently, under the leadership of Hannibal, the Carthaginian army arrived at the Roman defense garrison area as quickly as possible. They stood a hundred meters away.

Standing here, they could just cover the entire Roman garrison. The camp is in sight

“Everyone, everyone is very familiar with this place. The Roman army relied on this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack place to stalemate us Carthage for several years. Countless good men from Carthage died here!”

Hannibal looked at the bright red on the distant city wall, as if he had seen countless Carthaginian soldiers sweating and blood here in the tragic wars with Rome.

This made him, including other members of the Carthaginian army The soldiers all felt very heavy

“But now, we finally have this opportunity to avenge those brothers!” (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

“As long as we occupy this place, sooner or later the entire Roman army will be captured by me!”

“Since the Qin Dynasty was able to develop at a rapid pace after defeating the Huns and the Maurya Dynasty, and directly created its own empire that was the number one in the world, after we wipe out the Roman army, it may not be a turning point for us!”

Hannibal became excited again, and his words swept away the heavy feeling just now, which was very contagious.

This made the Carthaginian soldiers’ blood boil with excitement.

“Yes, we will definitely not disappoint His Highness’s hope!”[]

The Carthage soldiers responded, their faces full of hatred for their family and country and extremely high fighting spirit. then.

The Carthaginian army is getting closer to the Roman garrison

“Hey, why is it so dark over there, like a large army?”

The soldier standing guard rubbed his groggy eyes and vaguely saw that there seemed to be many people rushing here, and at the same time there were various noisy horses and footsteps.

“Logically speaking, no one should be coming at this time. There is no strong wind today, so it cannot be a disturbance.”

The soldiers on guard felt very confused about the sudden appearance of the figures.

After thinking for a while,���The guard shook his drunken head to wake himself up.

Then he raised his eyes and looked away from the wall. Those dark figures gradually became clear from blur. Their footsteps, bodies, faces, and even a very familiar military flag held high in their hands. 0

“that is……The standard of the Carthaginian army?!”

The soldiers on guard simply doubted their own eyes, wondering if they had just seen it wrong.

According to various intelligence, didn’t it say that the Carthaginian army had already begun to evacuate? How could they suddenly appear here?!

“Could it be that the Carthaginians knew that we had just held a banquet, so they wanted to raid?!”

After thinking of this, the soldiers on guard suddenly woke up from most of their drowsiness and drunkenness.

This is a huge event! If he is not careful, he and the entire Roman garrison will be wiped out!

Therefore, at this moment, the soldiers on guard can’t care about themselves. Feeling sleepy, he did not dare to neglect at all and immediately woke up the other soldiers around him.

“Wake up, everyone, wake up! Outside our camp, there seems to be a huge army approaching us. Judging from the flags and marching habits, it seems to be the guys from Carthage!”

The soldier on guard anxiously pushed the soldiers around him and briefly explained the situation to them.

“I think you must be drunk. Where is the army coming from at this time?”

“Yes, didn’t the Carthaginians think that after hearing the news about the marriage between Rome and Great Qin, they were immediately frightened to death by the reputation of Great Qin? I’m afraid they have all retreated now. How could they appear here?!”

“I said that if you really have nothing to do, you can help us collect the wine jars scattered on the ground to save me from accidentally breaking them while sleeping.”

It’s a pity that the other soldiers who were woken up by him didn’t bother to pay attention to him. They just thought he was wrong, turned around and went back to sleep.

This made the soldiers on guard extremely anxious.

Because at this time, The Carthaginian army was less than fifty meters away from their Roman garrison!

The soldiers on guard felt that if they tried harder, they could even see clearly the faces of the soldiers in the top row of the Carthaginian army. The look of fighting spirit.

But he knew that he could not do anything anymore and everything was too late.

Because the distance of fifty meters was too short under the rapid movement of the Carthaginian army, basically less than One minute has already been easily crossed

“All soldiers, bring up the siege tools!”

When the Carthaginian army came to the city, Hannibal ordered loudly.

“yes!”

Then, the Carthaginian army looked at the towering walls of the Roman towers, moved in countless siege ladders, and put one on the top of the Roman city wall. The

Carthaginian soldiers were like ants, following along. The ladder climbed up to the city wall at an extremely fast speed.

There were also siege vehicles that had been prepared long ago and were pushed up by the Carthaginian soldiers.

They were all made of 5.2-shaped wood that was sharpened and tied tightly. On the car, and then driven by the soldiers, it directly hits the center of the city gate with speed and inertia, which can cause great damage to the city gate.

So, driven by many Carthaginian soldiers, the siege vehicle It slammed into the city gate with great force of inertia.

Boom!!

When many Carthaginian soldiers had climbed up the wall, those soldiers who were usually responsible for guarding the city wall had just emerged from their sleep. He was awakened by the sound of a siege truck hitting the city gate.

But by this time, it was obviously too late.

Countless Carthaginian soldiers swarmed forward. They basically had no ability to resist, and their heads were already missing.

After a while, everyone on the city wall was The garrisoned Roman soldiers were all eliminated, and some went to open the city gate to let in the large Carthaginian troops outside.

Some took advantage of the fact that many Roman garrison soldiers were asleep and took this opportunity to directly assassinate them.

Because The Roman garrison had never considered that the Carthaginian army would suddenly attack, so they drank to death every time they drank.

Naturally, they were so drunk that they did not know that the danger was already there. came.

As a result, when the Carthaginians broke through the city gate and rushed in, many Roman soldiers were still sleeping, and then they lost their lives inexplicably. It can be said to be very miserable.

Even most of the Roman soldiers later The soldiers all woke up, but unfortunately the situation was over.

In the end, the raid ended completely in the unilateral massacre of the Carthaginians, and Carthage successfully occupied the Roman garrison defense line.

This also announced that the Carthaginian army was at this moment The raid was a great success!
