Chapter 585 1 will be successful
The sudden news made Scipio freeze in place.
Hannibal showed up outside Rome?
Scipio's first reaction was disbelief, but he knew that the adjutant would not deceive him.
"Although we expected that Hannibal would invade, we were still not prepared enough.
After the battle, our attention was always on the [-] vanguards in Carthage. No one thought that the [-] vanguards turned out to be bait. "
"In order to be able to eat these 5 people in one go, all our hidden troops have been dispatched. There is no defense in the rear, and there is no way to stop Hannibal who suddenly appeared."
The adjutant said anxiously.
"Damn! I just said how could Hannibal be so stupid this time. Not only did his vanguard fall into my trap easily, but the follow-up rescue was not timely."
"Now I finally understand that the [-] vanguard troops are here to die.
Unexpectedly, Hannibal, who has always loved soldiers like a son, would do the same.
It seems that what the Qin people said is right. "
Scipio smacked the table viciously. He never expected that Hannibal would give him a drudgery.
Unknowingly, they went around to the back of the battlefield and came to the vicinity of their Roman capital.
"Your Excellency, the consul, the situation is urgent. Now there are only [-] defenders in Rome. What if Hannibal leads troops to attack the city?"
Seeing that Scipio was still complaining, the adjutant reminded impatiently.
"Don't worry, Hannibal will not come to attack the city. As the capital of Rome, the city of Rome is not only tall and strong, but also has abundant food and supplies. Although there are not many defenders, as long as they can't hold on, let alone 5 people Even if it is 10 people, it is impossible to break through in a short time."
"If I'm not mistaken, Hannibal's target should be my main force in Rome."
"5 people were used as bait, and 5 people waited for the opportunity to move, and he personally led the remaining [-] people deep into our hinterland."
"Carthage's 20 troops are already on the surface. If I were Hannibal, the next thing I need to do is to complete the encirclement and wipe out the main force of my Roman army."
"After all, no one would have thought that an enemy would appear behind them."
After the anger passed, Scipio also recovered his composure, and began to analyze seriously.
"This... now our main force has been attracted by the Carthaginian vanguard. If it is true as your Excellency said, then our Rome will be in danger."
The adjutant said in disbelief.
If their main force in Rome was really swallowed by Hannibal, then Rome would no longer be able to stop Hannibal's advance.
"I really can't figure it out. How did this Hannibal appear in our rear without anyone noticing it? Could it be that he has the ability to descend from the sky?"
Regarding Hannibal's sudden appearance, the adjutant was full of doubts.
Like Scipio, he basically read every single word of the intelligence from the frontline battlefield, and naturally he knew very well about the combat capabilities of his army.
Today's Roman army can only fight with the wind. If the 5 people brought by Hannibal suddenly burst out from the rear, then the Roman army will have only one end.
It means that those who are killed will be defeated, or even the entire army will be wiped out.
This was beyond everyone's expectations. No one could have imagined that Hannibal would be so ruthless.
The [-] Carthaginian vanguards are, at best, bait for the Roman army, but at worst, they are nothing but cannon fodder!
Now he finally figured out why the [-] pioneers in Carthage knew how to charge forward regardless of their efforts.
Taking fifty thousand soldiers as cannon fodder, Hannibal's behavior is no different from the sound of broken jade.
The most incredible thing is that Hannibal was able to bring 5 people into the hinterland of Rome without anyone noticing.
This made the adjutant suddenly think of the last battle between the Great Qin army and their Roman army. In that battle, the Qin army was also like a divine soldier. Weaknesses appear.
Then they were beaten to pieces, creating a history of tens of thousands of Qin soldiers defeating 20 Roman troops.
What Hannibal is doing now is exactly the same as that of the Qin army back then. The only difference is that the Qin army does not need bait.
"Don't you understand? When the Carthaginian army led by Hannibal set off, there was indeed only one complete army of 20.
However, when the Carthaginian vanguard attacked the city and seized the territory, Hannibal had already divided his troops. "
"Because at this time, all of our eyes are on the so-called vanguard."
"And it is estimated that Hannibal knew from the beginning to the end that I was repeating the old trick, so he let the [-] vanguards charge desperately, so as to attract our Roman main force."
"When our Roman main force was attracted to the battlefield and was about to eat up the vanguard of 5 men, Hannibal also went around to our rear, which is why the remaining 10 men in Carthage stayed put. reason."
"It's not that they don't have the ability to break through the siege to rescue their own vanguard, but that the time hasn't come yet."
Scipio sighed helplessly.
"Although the tactical effect of Hannibal is similar to that of General Meng Tian in Daqin, in actual implementation, the difficulty of General Meng Tian is much more difficult than that of Hannibal."
"At that time, the army sent by Daqin was only tens of thousands, which was a huge gap with our Roman army of 20. Hannibal even emptied his family in order to eat the main force of Rome this time."
"Hannibal is still as bold as ever. The 20 troops came out in full force, and none of them were left to garrison the fortress. All of them were thrown into the battlefield."
"There is no way out. It seems that Hannibal is going to fight Rome to the death this time."
Scipio gritted his teeth and said, in his words, he couldn't hear whether he was praising Hannibal's superb military strategy, or was annoyed by it.
"The 20 army came out in full force, and it was densely packed. The number of people was too large, and with the deliberate forgery, there were 5 people missing, so it was difficult to tell."
The adjutant sighed with emotion, then his eyes lit up, and he continued:
"However, if the entire Carthaginian army is dispatched, doesn't that mean that the defense of the border fortress is extremely weak, or even unguarded?"
"This Hannibal is too bold, isn't he afraid that we will take this opportunity to occupy the border fortress? Once we reoccupy the fortress, their retreat will be completely cut off."
Having said that, the adjutant's face showed a hint of excitement.
