Chapter 525 The Shortsighted Carthage Nobles

"By the way, let me tell you that the hidden part of the main force must be hidden."

"Roman scouts are not so easy to fool."

Hannibal exhorted with some worry.

In the previous battle with Scipio, he had suffered this kind of loss. He led an army to hide in a ravine covered by tall grass, thinking that when the main force was fighting with the Roman army, he would come out of the way by surprise. A sneak attack from behind.

In the end, he was scouted by Rome and searched out in advance. If he hadn't reacted quickly at that time, the entire army would have been wiped out at that time, so how could he be in command here.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, this issue has been considered before, so try to avoid the Roman scouts' activity area, and now they are hiding 500 meters below the northeast of the border.

"But apart from this, there is one more thing I don't know, that is, since we mobilized the main force to deceive others, shouldn't it be reasonable to let that part of the main force stay where it is, or continue to retreat outside the line of defense?

"Why do you have to call them back again? If this is the case, I'm afraid it won't last long, and Rome will become suspicious."

The adjutant was very puzzled by this.

After all, surprises are all about surprises. If the plan is exposed because of the sudden disappearance of that part of the frontline troops, and the Roman army is prepared, then all the efforts will be in vain?

"You are right. According to normal military practice, we should indeed do what you said, because only in this way can we confuse our opponents to the greatest extent and let them fall into our trap."

"But you should be clear that our Carthage's soldiers and horses are not as good as Rome's. If we want to launch a surprise attack on the Roman army, this part of the soldiers and horses is indispensable. In order to be able to conquer the Roman army in one fell swoop during the surprise attack, we It’s just a risk.”

Hannibal explained.

"We can completely ask for support from above to make up for the lack of soldiers and horses, so that we don't have to transfer those soldiers and horses back."

"Otherwise, the chances of us being exposed are simply too high."

The adjutant made his own proposal.

"Ask for support from above? Here, this is the letter you just sent from above. You should take a good look at it yourself."

Hannibal sneered, then pointed to the letter from the higher-ups in Carthage.

With curiosity and doubts, the adjutant brought the letter on the table to his eyes, and began to read it carefully.

As he saw more and more content, the adjutant's eyes gradually became gloomy, which contained a lot of incomprehension and strong anger.

"Bastards! This group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death! We are fighting bloody battles on the front line, but they only think about their own safety. They want us to retreat immediately even though we can fight the Roman army."

"Don't they know that once we retreat, Carthage will lose a lot of land, and countless Carthage people will live in dire straits? This is simply outrageous!!"

The voice of the adjutant was very angry.

He knew that the nobles of Carthage were greedy and selfish, but he didn't expect them to be so selfish that they abandoned the people of Carthage!

"I'm used to their short-sightedness and cowardice. With these so-called nobles in Carthage, I'm afraid Carthage will never rise."

Hannibal shook his head and sighed.

Of course Hannibal would not accept the orders of those nobles.

If he really retreated like this, it would be tantamount to wasting the lives of the soldiers who died in the battle against Rome. betrayal!

Over the past few years, Hannibal and the sergeants of the Carthaginian army went through life and death, struggled hard, and finally eased the offensive of the Roman army, and slowly began to gain the upper hand. The victory was almost in front of his eyes.

In the end, it was because Scipio's daughter was about to marry the Crown Prince of Qin, the Crown Prince Ying Yu who possessed all kinds of magical means and was like a reincarnated god.

Those cowardly Carthaginian moths let him retreat?

From Hannibal's point of view, this is simply a big joke.

Of course, he also knows that the current Great Qin is far more powerful than Carthage, and that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is even the god of war in the world. In all the wars he has participated in, no matter how disadvantaged he is, he is still invincible!

With their strength, if they confronted Da Qin head-on, it would be hitting a stone with an egg.

But let him give up several years of hard work, give up the advantages that countless sergeants have gained in exchange for their lives, and just retreat in such a desperate manner.

Hannibal is not reconciled, he will never do that!

Even if he might offend Da Qin and the god-like Prince Da Qin, he will not change his mind.

The war opportunity is fleeting, and Hannibal just wants to seize this opportunity at this moment and wipe out the Roman army on the border defense line!

In addition, Hannibal is still betting that Scipio is not that important in Daqin's eyes.

Even if the regular Roman army directly under Scipio was defeated, Daqin would only give some money to comfort him, and would not directly send troops to help Rome.

It has to be said that this is a gamble, and if he is not careful, he and Carthage will fall into a situation where there is no redemption.

But in this situation, Hannibal had no choice.

If they really retreat like this, it will only be in exchange for a temporary slack. After Scipio calms down the turbulent situation in Rome, the Roman army will definitely become far stronger than it is now.

At that time, there is no need for the Qin army to take action, and the Roman army alone is enough to crush them.

Since they are dead anyway, it is better to fight, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.

Therefore, after receiving the orders from the nobles of Carthage, Hannibal directly summoned his adjutant without saying a word, and handed over his plan to him for execution.

Fortunately, according to the situation reported by the adjutant now, things are proceeding according to Hannibal's thinking, which is a blessing in misfortune.

"Okay, this is the end of the matter, no matter how angry you are at the moths of Carthage, it will not help the matter. The most urgent task now is to prepare for this decisive battle with the Roman army!"

"This battle is not only about the lives of you and me and these hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but also about the life and death of Carthage. There must be no negligence."

"Order, all armies must strictly follow the military orders, and those who disobey the orders: kill!"
