Chapter 568 Good idea
Hannibal said with a serious face, and his expression was even more serious and terrifying.
Everyone knows that Da Qin's army is number one in the world, and that Ying Yu is the invincible god of war, but few people know that under Ying Yu's dazzling light, other generals of Da Qin are equally terrifying.
"The general's lesson is that because of the occupation of the Roman fortress, many generals in the army, including the last general, are indeed somewhat inflated.
"However, according to the report from the spies we sent out, because the prince of Daqin is about to get married, Daqin has no intention of sending reinforcements to Rome."
"The strange thing is that Scipio has neither sought new aid nor conscripted a large-scale army in Rome during this period of time, and the number of soldiers remains the same as before."
"With the current size of the Roman army, it is not easy to stop the offensive of my Carthaginian army after losing the fortress barrier."
The adjutant expressed his doubts.
"Based on what I know about Scipio, he will never give up easily.
Otherwise, with the selfish and corrupt face of the Roman nobles, coupled with the distrust and malice of the Roman people towards the Roman government, if he wanted to give up, Scipio should have given up long ago, so why wait until now? "
"I think that the reason why Daqin didn't intend to send reinforcements to Rome is that there is only one possibility, that is, Scipio did not ask Daqin for support at all."
Scipio said affirmatively.
"Didn't ask for help from Great Qin? This is unlikely. Given the current situation in Rome, without the support of the Qin army, after my Carthaginian army has been repaired, it is impossible for them to stop our attack."
The adjutant couldn't believe it.
After all, the war with Rome has lasted for several years, and they are naturally quite clear about the strength of the Roman army.
Since Rome was repelled by the Qin army in Seleucus and lost 10,000+ soldiers, the Roman army was completely discouraged.
Not only did the soldiers' weapons and armor gradually fail to keep up with the times, but the combat effectiveness of the soldiers also dropped a lot. They were no longer the invincible Roman cavalry.
This gave them the opportunity for Carthage to counterattack Rome, and the reason why the Roman army, which had already set in the sunset, was able to compete with their Carthage army for so long was entirely because of this border fortress.
Without these easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack fortresses, Carthage would have been able to break through the Roman defense line without a surprise attack.
"You still have too little experience, many things are not as simple as they seem."
Hannibal smiled and shook his head at him.
"Although the Great Qin and Rome are married, the relationship between the in-law countries can be carried out normally, and it is often established when the strengths of both parties are equal."
"For example, before the unification of Great Qin was completed, Qin State often married a country named Jin. There is a good story about the love of Qin and Jin."
"However, the strength of Rome is far behind that of Great Qin now, and there is no way to achieve a mutual check and balance relationship like Great Qin and Jin at that time. Therefore, although the two countries are said to be countries related by marriage, in fact, they have no way to achieve true love. Friendly coexistence."
"Great Qin wants to take advantage of the opportunity of becoming an in-law with Rome to annex Rome, and by promoting the powerful force of the Qin army and the level of technology to strengthen the infiltration and assimilation between Rome and Great Qin."
"And Scipio also wanted to use the great power of Qin to resolve the internal and external conflicts in Rome, but at the same time, he was afraid of the incomparable fighting power of the Qin army, and was afraid that the Qin army would turn against them directly after entering Rome."
"Daqin and Rome were married on the surface, but in fact they had different ideas and had their own ghosts. That's why Scipio didn't ask Daqin for help right away."
"Since Rome did not ask for support, even if Daqin knew the news from Rome, it is impossible to send troops over on its own initiative. Otherwise, it would be easy to be misunderstood by Rome."
"If Rome becomes more vigilant against Daqin from now on, if Daqin wants to annex Rome in the future, it will have to be tough."
"I believe that with the intelligence of the great Qin prince, he would never do such a thankless thing."
Hannibal analyzed the current situation in detail.
"So that's the case, then, Your Excellency General, what should we do next?
The adjutant nodded repeatedly, then asked.
"What should we do? Since Rome and Great Qin have their own ideas, this is an excellent opportunity for our Carthaginian army. Naturally, we must take the initiative to attack Rome before the Qin army's support has set off."
"With the current fighting strength of the Roman army, it is impossible to be the opponent of my Carthaginian army. Even if Scipio personally leads the battle, he will be powerless with me."
"As long as we can capture this large piece of land south of the Roman defense line in one fell swoop, we can go straight to the capital of Rome. If the group of Roman nobles don't react in time and don't immediately send their own private army to defend, we, Cara Maybe the Taiji army can really attack Huanglong and occupy the capital of Rome!"
"It doesn't matter even if the occupation fails. At that time, our Carthaginian army will be considered to have occupied the territory in advance. Even if Scipio later asked the Great Qin for support, the Qin army will arrive in time. We can also rely on the current occupation The land and walls of the land and the walls and retreat, and fight a protracted war with the Qin army."
"We have occupied so many cities in Rome, and there will be no shortage of logistical supplies such as equipment and food.
The soldiers of the Qin Army are different from us. At most, Rome can feed the soldiers of the Qin Army.
However, the level of science and technology contained in the equipment and weapons of the Qin army is too high, and Daqin's protection and confidentiality of these things is very strict. It is basically impossible for Rome to be cast independently. "
"That is to say, when the Great Qin army fought against our Carthaginian army, there was no way to directly supplement the consumption of all the equipment and materials they produced from Rome. The Great Qin army could only be transported from Great Qin, thousands of miles away. "
"However, the road between Daqin and Rome is far away, and the vigorous railway wagon that can take Daqin to Rome has not yet opened. If you want to send materials from Daqin to Rome, if you only rely on horse convoys to transport them, it will take at least ten years. In this case, we only need to rely on the defense line and the city wall to avoid direct confrontation with the Daqin army as much as possible."
"Since the defensive city wall can block the attacks of so many powerful enemies for Rome, its strength is far beyond that of ordinary city walls. If this is dragged on step by step, the Qin army will run out of equipment and supplies sooner or later."
"In this way, our Carthaginian army may really have the possibility of breaking arms with the Daqin army!"
