Chapter 143 If we wait until winter, we will win! (4000)

The general looked at the two personal guards in front of him and couldn't help but show a hint of disbelief.

The people who can stay outside his camp are the people he trusts the most!

"What are you doing?

!”

The other party's behavior is no different from rebellion.

One of the personal guards gritted his teeth and said,

"General, Tennant is right."

"Even without the weapons Tennett mentioned, as long as there are thunderbolts, the Chinese will definitely win this war."

"It's just a matter of time."

"The brothers below already know this."

Regardless of their status, everyone will always talk about these things.

Last time I saw two elite Roman legions plus auxiliary legions totaling 50,000 people, but they were almost penetrated by China's defense line of less than 10,000 people.

They knew that this war would eventually be lost.

The people down there are much more sensitive.

Another guard also quickly said,

"We have nothing to gain by working for the Romans, and Carthage has betrayed us! Why not work for ourselves?"

"I believe Tennet, if China can give us land, then we can definitely build our own city-state."

"Even the Chinese people cannot be trusted, so let's leave here. Under the leadership of the commander-in-chief, we will definitely survive!"

"But if we go to the swamp now, we will definitely die!"

In the world they now know, thousands of people can gather together to form a city-state.

There are enough of them.

After listening to what the two people said, the general couldn't help but fell silent, and then said,

"But this is ultimately a betrayal of the commander-in-chief."

He is a man with a sense of honor. Life and death are not as important to him as his own honor.

Seeing this scene, the younger brother on the side knew that the other party was also shaken, so he quickly stepped forward,

He stopped the weapons in the hands of the two guards, and then said,

"Brother, this is what everyone wants, and you can't stop it."

"The commander-in-chief won't blame you."

"Moreover, maybe the commander-in-chief also meant this, but no one brought it up."

After listening to his brother's words, the general couldn't help but look at him with a complicated expression.

Of course he knew that the other party was just comforting him. Even if the commander knew that the other party had such weapons,

He will only think of ways to deal with those people and will not choose to surrender.

Death in battle is actually a good ending for the commander-in-chief.

But he also knew that even if he persisted, it would be meaningless.

Even his most trusted bodyguards chose to betray, not to mention the other soldiers who were already dissatisfied.

None of his people were afraid of death, otherwise they would not have followed him and his commander across the mountains to fight the Roman legions.

But it’s not clear that everyone doesn’t want to die,

Everyone couldn't understand why the commander was fighting, so how could he be determined to die?

They prepared for this war too hastily.

Finally, the general said,

"I see."

"But I won't cooperate with the Chinese, and neither will the commander-in-chief."

"Those people are not worthy of trust. If we leave here, we will build our own city-state."

He could not trust those who went on long expeditions to obtain land.

Just leave here while the two parties are fighting.

After hearing this, others did not object.

The main thing is not to die for the Romans, then they will have no problem.

But my brother was still a little worried and said,

"Brother, those Chinese people probably won't give us a chance to leave."

The general quickly said,

"It's not up to them. The Romans have assembled an army of 300,000 people this time, and they also have cities. This will be a long war."

"We want to leave, and neither the Romans nor the Chinese have the energy to stop us."

They still know this most basic information,

Even though the Chinese weapons are extremely powerful, the outcome of such a large-scale siege war cannot be determined in a short time.

"But…"

The younger brother still wanted to talk. The weapons he saw,

Beyond my imagination, maybe this war won't last long.

At this moment, Tennant on the side interrupted him and said,

"The general is right, that's what we will do."

"I'll leave this place to you. We have to go back to my father's place. I want to take it out."

Although he doesn't think this war will last long, there is no big use in worrying about it now.

Only after the father is rescued can the other party make the decision.

This time, no one said much,

The current situation is too complicated, so it is better to let the commander-in-chief make the decision.

With the final decision, the originally tense atmosphere in the camp gradually dissipated.

Tennant said quickly,

"I'm going to rest first. We'll set off early tomorrow morning."

She was indeed very tired.

After saying that, he left here directly so that the two brothers could talk.

Walking outside, Tennant looked at the camp that had regained its vitality,

She also gained some confidence in the decision she made. She glanced in her father's direction.

Tennette couldn't help but said,

"Father, don't you blame me?"

A few days later, in the city on the border of Rome,

The city at this time is completely different from the beginning.

Thanks to the work of countless auxiliary soldiers and civilians, the entire city wall has been reinforced a lot.

At this time, the Roman envoy was patrolling with the commander of the elite Roman legion stationed here and Hannibal.

One of the legion commanders, who was slightly calmer, said as he walked,

"The city walls have been reinforced, scorpion crossbows have also been placed, and there are special positions for crossbowmen."

"Around the city wall, we also placed a lot of sharp wood."

"As long as they dare to come, I will definitely teach them a profound lesson!"

They had learned from their previous experience and knew that crossbows could restrain the opponent very well, so they naturally had to make more use of them.

.

This time, I would not take the initiative to go to the field to fight the opponent's cavalry.

As long as the opponent dismounts and they have the city as cover, the opponent's thunder weapon will not have much effect.

Because they later discovered that not many people were actually killed by those thunders.

As long as the opponent uses infantry to engage in the oldest siege battle with them.
