Chapter 143 Drag it to winter, we will win! (4000)(2/3)
They are sure to defeat each other!
The Roman envoy nodded repeatedly and then asked,
"What if they use that weapon to destroy the gate?"
Hearing this question, the slightly irritable legion commander showed a sinister smile on his face,
"We prepared a frying pan on the wall at the city gate."
The oil pan at the city gate is usually only prepared in large cities, because it is relatively expensive.
Moreover, the operation is complicated and you may injure yourself if you are not careful.
But this time they were all prepared, and it can be said that their preparations were pushed to the limit!
Of course there will be protection measures around, unless the opponent can attack from the sky,
Otherwise, there would be no accidental injury. They have already experienced it.
After all, they are the most elite legion in Rome!
Upon hearing this, the Roman envoy smiled and nodded,
"As long as we can drag this war until winter, we will win."
"The Senate will definitely reward you!"
Here, winter will have a great impact on both people and materials.
When the time comes, they may even be able to take the opportunity to counterattack.
Others couldn't help but smile,
Being able to defeat such a powerful enemy as the Chinese only shows how powerful they are.
When the time comes, we will take the opportunity to unify the entire known world and find a way to obtain the secret of the thunder weapon.
Then the glory of Rome will be even more glorious!
Of course they can get more.
Only Hannibal, who had been silent for a long time, had a hint of worry on his face.
He doesn't think those Chinese people only have thunder as a weapon.
The opponent will not hand over all his cards in a tentative battle.
But he didn't say much. First, there was no evidence.
Secondly, judging from the current preparations of the Romans, as a commander-in-chief, there is indeed nothing to criticize about him.
Even if he didn't like the Romans, he had to admit that the strength of the Roman elite legions was indeed extremely strong.
Otherwise, the other party would not be able to dominate the known world.
But he still has some worries about his daughter,
His confidant has been away for several days without replying. There are many possibilities.
Maybe something bad happened to his daughter,
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly,
At this moment, the Roman envoy on the side keenly noticed the abnormality and quickly asked,
"Hannibal, is there something wrong with you?
As the commander-in-chief, you cannot relax."
These people still know the strength of the other party. They almost captured the entire Roman Senate by the other party.
Let the other party be the commander-in-chief this time, just to make use of the other party's wisdom.
Of course, it is impossible to give real power.
Hannibal came to his senses and quickly said,
"It's nothing. It's just that except for the defense of this city, the other two cannot relax."
"Otherwise, we will be the ones who are anxious if we are cut off."
"I have a way to send a message here in case the opponent's cavalry cuts off the passage."
Hannibal added at this time that the opponent's cavalry was numerous and would definitely intercept them.
Then delivering the message is extremely important.
"I will set up some burning points on the city wall, and the amount of smoke produced will express the meaning."
"Even if our people can't enter the city, they will understand it when they see the smoke."
When Hannibal finished speaking, the Roman envoy could not help but sigh and said,
"You are indeed a wise man."
With a sigh, the Roman envoy quickly left here with his people.
He is just here for inspection. This is the front line, and it is somewhat dangerous after all.
After the Roman envoy left, everyone else went to prepare separately.
Hannibal is no exception,
He also had a lot of things to do, but he just didn't notice.
The first two legion commanders were looking at his back coldly.
"Is there anything unusual about him these days?"
The slightly irritable legion commander asked his companions,
Since they last learned that the other party's daughter was in the Chinese camp, they have been sending people to keep an eye on the other party.
The companion quickly shook his head and returned,
"Nothing unusual. He is indeed very concerned about defense."
"We found out a lot of things that we ignored."
The slightly irritable legion commander couldn't help but frowned.
"Did he really not betray us?"
The companion did not relax too much but said,
"Of course the traitor will not be revealed so easily. Anyway, we just need to keep a close eye on him."
"Just obey his orders that are beneficial to us, and just disobey his orders that are unfavorable to us."
"As long as his people cross the swamp, it doesn't matter whether he is there or not."
Hearing this, the slightly irritable legion commander also nodded,
This was their original plan.
Regardless of whether Hambanius was a traitor or not, he would shed the last drop of his blood for Rome.
For them, this is an extremely normal thing, because other auxiliary legions also suffered the same fate.
Once a war breaks out, these people will be the first to fight in the cruelest part.
In this way, you can not only consume other people, but also preserve your own strength, and can also kill those Chinese people.
No matter from which aspect you look at it, it is good for Rome.
Soon the two of them left here and went to prepare separately.
Soon night fell, and Hannibal returned to his residence a little tired.
Inspecting city defenses and checking for deficiencies and filling them is also extremely energy-consuming.
Just as he entered the door, a figure rushed towards him,
Hannibal was extremely vigilant and was about to draw his weapon, but the moment he heard the other party's crying voice, he relaxed.
"Father! I'm back!"
It's his daughter!
After Tennant cried for a while, Hannibal had a chance to ask him,
"You're back! Are you injured?"
Hannibal looked at his daughter in front of him with great distress.
Tennette wiped away her tears before saying,
"I'm fine,"
Hannibal breathed a sigh of relief, then noticed his confidant beside him, and said with some gratitude,
"Thanks a lot."
The other party came back after being gone for so long, and his face looked haggard and exhausted. He must have gone through many difficulties before he rescued his daughter.
