Chapter 608
"Since Your Excellency the Consul has said so, maybe among the [-] Great Qin reinforcements, there is really hidden the trump card of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Ying Yu's victory."
After listening to Scipio's words, the retinue of the consul also felt that there was some truth.
After all, Ying Yu has done too many incredible things in these years!
Not to mention anything else, just because he went out with the army for the first time, he led the originally weak Daqin army, and defeated the Xiongnu, who were known as invincible on the grassland, in one fell swoop. This is already very surprising.
Later, he led troops to break through the royal court of the Xiongnu, completely solving the hidden danger of the Xiongnu that had plagued the Central Plains for thousands of years.
And this is only a very small part of Ying Yu's brilliant record. Later, he will lead his army to destroy Donghu and conquer Da Yuezhi.
Even Rome's 20 elite troops were also calculated by Ying Yu to death, but only tens of thousands of Qin troops were used, and the Roman army was completely encircled and suppressed.
These achievements, if you choose any general, it will definitely make him famous in the world, and he will be included in the category of famous generals immediately, and will be remembered by the world.
However, all these victories belonged to Ying Yu alone!
If this was in the past when Ying Yu was still Wei Nuo Nuo, if someone said that Ying Yu would be able to provoke Da Qin in the future, and be able to lead Da Qin from its original embarrassing position to the current number one power in the world.
Out of ten people, maybe nine would call him crazy.
But now, Ying Yu has actually achieved this through various measures and facilities that he has implemented, and it has shocked countless people's jaws.
Therefore, even though the executive officer's followers are Romans, they still have to admire in their hearts that Ying Yu is such a fairy figure full of legends all over his body!
In addition, seeing that Scipio, as the highest consul in Rome, has so much confidence in Ying Yu, then why should I, a mere official, not trust Scipio and Ying Yu's Great Qin reinforcements?
"Well, it's good that you can have such an idea."
"In any case, based on our current situation in Rome, it is estimated that under the command of Hannibal, the Carthaginian army will soon capture large areas of Rome, and all we can rely on is There will be these Daqin reinforcements who will come soon."
"Therefore, no matter how many soldiers Daqin sent, we must trust Daqin and the Qin army."
"In this way, in addition to effectively promoting the harmony between the Great Qin and the Roman army, it will also be more convenient and thorough in matching tactics in the future, and it can be regarded as giving us confidence."
Seeing that the attitude of the consul's subordinates towards the reinforcements from the Great Qin finally changed, Scipio nodded to him with a smile.
"By the way, Mr. Consul, we are still here to wait for the arrival of the Daqin reinforcements. It is better to make some preparations in advance and formulate a joint battle plan with the Daqin reinforcements in the future."
"In this way, when the Qin reinforcements arrive, we can immediately unite with them to take action against Hannibal's Carthaginian army, at least we won't be caught off guard."
"Besides, as the saying goes, soldiers are expensive and fast. This will not only save a lot of time for the Qin army to adapt, but also curb the pace of the Carthaginian army's invasion of our Rome."
After thinking for a while, the consul's retinue made his own suggestion to Scipio.
Although, as Scipio's adjutant, he had never led troops to fight in person, but he had always followed Scipio's side. Under his influence, the executive officer's retinue still had his own unique understanding of military affairs.
"You're right. Before Daqin's reinforcements arrive, we really need to make some preparations in advance."
"After all, now that we know that the Great Qin reinforcements are marching towards Rome, then with Carthage's intelligence network that is more developed than ours, Hannibal must have known the news, and it is even more likely than ours. Know more."
"And with Hannibal's decisive character, it is very likely that the army will be ambushed at the first time on the only way from the Great Qin to Rome, and intercept the reinforcements of the Great Qin."
"Or in other words, by blowing up bridges, destroying roads, etc., creating a large number of obstacles for the Daqin reinforcements on the road, so as to stop or slow down the progress of the Daqin reinforcements."
"And these two methods, no matter which one they are, are extremely unfavorable to us in Rome."
Scipio said with a serious face.
After all, with Rome's current situation, once faced with Hannibal's Carthaginian army, the only ones who can deal with it are the remaining defeated soldiers of the original Roman army.
Relying on fortifications such as city walls and city walls, as well as various ambush traps set up in advance by the home field advantage, they may be able to stop the offensive of the Carthaginian army.
But in fact, everyone knows that this is only for a short time.
As long as Hannibal leads the Carthaginian army to launch a full-scale attack on Rome, they will only rely on those city walls, and the Roman remnants who are far inferior to Carthage in terms of quantity and quality.
Basically, within a few rounds, it will be directly destroyed by the Carthage army.
And the only hope of resisting Hannibal's Carthaginian army is the aid army from Qin Dynasty.
It is not even an exaggeration to say that the degree to which Rome was invaded by Carthage depends entirely on when the Great Qin reinforcements will arrive in Rome and when they will be able to officially enter the battle.
The faster the Qin reinforcements came, the less losses Rome suffered, and vice versa.
Therefore, Scipio must not allow Carthage to cause any obstacles to the Qin reinforcements.
Thinking of this, Scipio sternly said to the consul's retinue:
"Now pass on my order to immediately send two thousand cavalry to the official road connecting Great Qin and Rome."
"Let them carefully search the nearby water canals, bushes and other easy hiding places on the official road to prevent the Carthaginian army from ambush nearby."
"At the same time, at intervals on the official road, an inn is set up for drinking and resting. In addition to alleviating the hardships of the Daqin reinforcements' long journey, it is also convenient to deal with some emergencies such as encountering robbers or the Carthaginian army. Condition."
"All in all, not only can we not let the Qin reinforcements make any mistakes on the way, but also let them see our sincere attitude in Rome!"
