After all, although Hannibal is still said to be the commander of the Carthaginian army, he has been completely removed by the Carthaginian nobles since he offended Daqin by capturing the Roman defense line.

It can be said that now she has nothing but the walls of their Roman defense, which they occupied.

But even so, Hannibal chose to take the risk, completely ignoring whether the walls of the defense line would be lost or taken by other countries.

Instead, they staked all their treasures on their Roman city, which was almost the same as walking a tightrope on foot, and this was what shocked the Governor Hu Cong the most.

In fact, what he didn't know was that although Hannibal was said to be on par with Scipio in terms of military ability, his fighting style was very different from Scipio's.

If Scipio is an indestructible shield, then Hannibal is a sharp and boundless spear.

Scipio was known for his cautious resistance to pressure, and for being a super-strong bulwark of the country, while Hannibal was known for his bold, planned sword-maneuvering, often using the unexpected to conquer cities.

"Hannibal has always been bold, otherwise he would not have sent all the Carthaginian soldiers to attack my Roman city after Sophie had already married the prince of Fusu and my Rome had established a relationship with Daqin. "

"But now is not the time to marvel at Hannibal, the most important thing is to solve the problem of the Carthaginian army pressing the border~ first. "

Scipio's face was very solemn at this time.

Because as a commander-in-chief, he knew very well what kind of crisis the Roman army was facing at this time.

Although Hannibal's Carthaginian advance army said that in order to find out the internal situation of their Roman city, they not only stepped on the trap designed by Scipio long ago, but also encountered ambushes and sieges by Roman soldiers many times.

However, due to the premature exposure of the Roman army, the Carthaginian advance army always maintained a defensive posture, and because of the fear of the combat power of the Carthaginian soldiers, the Roman soldiers had the upper hand, but they have always avoided a completely head-on collision with the Carthaginian advance army.

Therefore, they looked very embarrassed, and were played around by the Roman soldiers, but in fact, the Carthaginian advance force did not sacrifice many soldiers because of this, but only a relatively small part, which can be said to have preserved themselves very well.

Therefore, when Hannibal arrived with the main force of the Carthaginian army, although they said that they had some losses, they still had a certain combat effectiveness, which could not inflict fatal damage on the Roman army, but it was enough to break the bones and bones.

In addition, there is also the main force of Carthage led by Hannibal, under such internal and external attacks, the home advantage of the Roman army has been completely lost!

Not to mention the extermination of the Carthaginian army to protect the Roman city, if one is not careful, it is even very likely to perish!

After all, this time is not the same as before, Hannibal had also pushed the Roman army into a desperate situation before, but at that time Hannibal was still under the control of the Carthaginian nobles, and their Roman army also had a defensive wall to defend.

But now these things are gone, and once the Carthaginian army seizes the opportunity, their Roman army will only be destroyed, and it can be said that it has reached the situation of life and death.

Scipio rubbed his temples vigorously, then began to close his eyes and force himself to calm down, thinking of solutions in his mind.

He couldn't afford to watch the Roman army annihilate!

Seeing Scipio like this, although the executive officer Hu Cong's heart was anxious, he didn't dare to disturb him, so he had to wait silently beside him, and the two of them maintained such a posture.

After a few minutes.

Scipio finally opened his eyes: "Pass my orders!"

"First of all, let the soldiers on the battlefield immediately give up their hold on to the city, absolutely no longer fight with the Carthaginian soldiers, and try to achieve a comprehensive retreat!"

"However, before retreating, it is best to destroy all the strategic materials in the city, including grain, grain, grass, weapons and armor, etc., since we can't take it away, we must not cheapen the Carthaginian army, although this is a bit wasteful, we must not give the Carthaginian army a chance to increase its strength.

"Now that the Carthaginian soldiers are united with the outside world, our Roman army is gone, anyway, the inhabitants of the city have long been moved to other places, even if Carthage occupies this place, it is only an empty city, and continuing to hold on will only increase casualties, and there is no point at all. "

Scipio was, after all, the supreme consul of Rome, and for him, the most important thing was naturally the people.

Therefore, before setting up ambushes and traps in the city, Scipio had already sent soldiers to disperse all the people in the city to other cities, which was a blessing in misfortune.

"Second, immediately inform the next city so that they can settle down its inhabitants and be ready to meet foreign enemies. "

"Hannibal will not stop himself after taking the current city, especially after knowing that it is an empty city. "

"I'm afraid it won't be a few days, when the Carthaginian soldiers have finished repairing, Hannibal will lead the Carthaginian army to attack our next city in Rome, if you don't disperse the people as soon as possible and prepare in advance, I'm afraid the whole city will be a river of blood. "

"As for the specific tactics of the defense of the city, with the garrison of thousands of people in the city, it is absolutely impossible to resist the Carthaginian army. "

"Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to engage them head-on, and it is better to use small-scale guerrilla tactics to harass and interfere with the Carthaginian army, and slow down the Carthaginian army's invasion of our Rome. "[]

"If this is not possible, retreat immediately, and try not to cause unnecessary casualties. "

Hannibal said in a deep voice.

"Okay, I've written down all these things that my lord ordered, is there anything else?"

Executive Officer Hu Cong asked.

"Finally, immediately submit a letter asking for help to Daqin, the sooner the better!"

When he said this, Scipio's eyes were more determined than ever.

Because he knew that with the current state of the Roman army, even if the remaining half could be safely evacuated, it would be far from being able to stop the pace of Carthaginian invasion.

It is true that in addition to the government army led by Scipio, which has always been called the Roman army, the Roman armed forces also had their own private armies.

But these armies were all cultivated by them with a lot of money, and their combat effectiveness was definitely no worse than that of the government army.
