Chapter 539 The time Hannibal has been waiting for has come
The dangers of continuing to lurk are self-evident.
Not only was there always a risk of being discovered, but when a big change occurred in the Roman army, in order to transmit the information back immediately, they had to launch special signal flares.
This kind of signal flare evolved from the fireworks and firecrackers in Daqin. After being specially processed, when the signal flare is launched, it will emit a dazzling light and be accompanied by a loud sound.
Even if it is several kilometers away, it can be clearly observed.
However, if the reconnaissance team did this, in addition to being able to deliver news to the Carthaginian army, it would also be discovered by the Roman garrison and fall into the hands of the enemy.
What awaits them next is most likely death, or even painful torture that is worse than death!
In comparison, the security of transmitting information is much greater than continuing to lurk.
However, conveying information is something that needs to be extremely concealed. If there are too many people, the target will be too big, and there may be mutual drag on each other.
Therefore, it is destined that only one person can go, and everyone else has to stay where they are, bearing huge risks.
The young soldier knew this very well.
"Captain, it's better for you to deliver the message to General Hannibal. I'm not as experienced as veterans like you, and my body skills are not as strong as yours. It's safer for you to deliver the message. Just let me stay here and continue to lurk."
This is naturally the young soldier's excuse.
It's just to take on this dangerous task myself and leave safety to other teammates.
"This is my order. As a soldier, your biggest responsibility is to execute the order!"
The leader of the reconnaissance team scolded the young soldier.
"Those of us will die when we die. Anyway, we have no worries at home and we are not too young. This life is probably over."
"But you are different. You are much younger than us. There are still great times for you to experience. You are the future of our Carthage!"
Having said this, the captain of the reconnaissance team and other team members looked at the young soldier with eager expectations in their eyes.
The young soldier immediately felt the weight of his mission.
"yes!"
In the end, with complicated and sad emotions, he carefully embarked on the journey of delivering the message.
The remaining soldiers in this scout team looked at the Roman garrison not far away, their eyes became extremely firm, and they looked at death as if they were home.
With the earnest anticipation of the soldiers, news about the Roman garrison soon reached the ears of Hannibal, the Carthaginian army.
"Very good! I have deliberately hidden it for so long, and the Roman army finally showed its relaxation!"
After receiving the news, Hannibal looked very excited.
Ever since he decided to fight Rome to the death, Hannibal had been taking advantage of the Romans' suspicions about him.
Hannibal knew that the Romans would think that after hearing about the marriage between Rome and Qin, and that the marriage partner was the legendary Qin prince, they would inevitably lead his troops to retreat because they were afraid of Qin's powerful military strength.
Hannibal took this opportunity to deliberately create the illusion that his Carthaginian army was about to withdraw from the defense line, intending to paralyze the Roman army and make them relax their vigilance and neglect their precautions.
However, during this period of time, the Roman army had been in a state of tension on the outside and tight on the inside. The long wait made Hannibal's patience about to run out.
Moreover, since the Carthaginian nobles ordered him to withdraw his troops, they would ask about the time of the army's withdrawal from time to time.
Seeing that there seemed to be no movement from the Carthaginian army, I urged him several times.
In order not to be discovered by the Carthaginian nobles and thus disrupt his plan to attack the Roman army, Hannibal had to find various excuses to deal with the Carthaginian nobles while constantly confusing the Roman army.
This annoyed Hannibal very much.
Especially after learning about the rapid changes in Daqin through Daqin Daily and various information channels, Hannibal felt even more irritable.
After all, after the surprise attack on the Roman army, his next enemy is likely to be Great Qin!
This is an enemy hundreds of times more powerful than Rome. How should he deal with it?
Da Qin is so powerful that he has no hope of victory.
Hannibal could only force himself not to think about these things and concentrate on the Roman army.
Fortunately, after so many days of irritation and depression, Hannibal and the Carthaginian army finally ushered in the dawn of hope.
They waited for an unprecedented opportunity.
An opportunity to defeat Rome in one fell swoop.
"Send my order and all troops will assemble immediately!"
Hannibal's slightly excited roar echoed through the three armies as quickly as possible.
In just a moment, the main force originally stationed in various places, including a small number of main forces that had been sent out by Hannibal to confuse the opponent, all gathered in front of Hannibal.
These people were a little thin. This was because the Carthaginian nobles had cut off the supplies to the front line.
But there was a hint of fanaticism in their eyes at this moment, and all the Carthaginian soldiers looked extremely excited.
Because they know that the opportunity has come.
"Your Majesty General, all the ministries have been assembled and no one is absent. Please give us your order!"
After the team was counted, the adjutant loudly reported to Hannibal.
"very good."
Hannibal nodded and then came to the front of the team.
"Soldiers, the target of our attack is the main Roman army thousands of meters away."
"They once invaded my territory of Carthage, burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil in our territory!"
"At this moment, they are all sleeping in their own dreams. Now I will take you to invade Roman territory, take you to avenge your shame, and make these damn Romans pay the price!"
Hannibal's voice is powerful and his sentences are penetrating and powerful.
The soldiers below were all very excited.
After fighting with the Roman army for so many years, they all watched helplessly as their comrades who had been with them day and night died tragically under the butcher's knife of a Roman soldier.
Some veterans had even seen the unprovoked persecution of their Carthaginian people after the Romans invaded the border. Countless Carthaginian civilians had their families destroyed.
This made them all have a bloody feud with the Roman army. Now they finally had the opportunity to take revenge. How could the soldiers not be excited when they could kill their enemies with their own hands?
