Chapter 569 How about we defect to Qin?
As the saying goes, one's own family knows their own affairs. Hannibal has been a military commander for so long, so he naturally knows the fighting strength of the Carthaginian army.
They are not on the same level as the Qin army at all. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are in the sky and on the ground!
In a head-on battle, their Carthaginian army wouldn't stand a chance.
Therefore, only by trying to avoid frontal combat with the Qin army, and relying on the favorable terrain to fight and retreat, can the Carthaginian army barely have the strength to fight.
"General, although Rome is said to be in decline now, at least it was once glorious. If nothing else, the strength of the walls of this border fortress is not comparable to that of Carthage."
"If it weren't for your wise strategy, general, and if the Roman garrison was too careless and they really wanted to attack directly, it would have been very difficult for our Carthaginian army to capture it."
"Under the protection of such a copper wall and an iron wall, as long as the number of people from the Qin army is not too large, even the Qin Prince's personal visit will not be able to do anything to our Carthage army. Over time, the Qin army's combat readiness resources cannot keep up with the consumption. In the end,
Still have to return without success."
"At that time, we will be the first army to break the invincibility of the Qin army. I believe that with this battle, our Carthage army will definitely become world-famous!"
The adjutant looked excited and agreed with Hannibal's idea.
After all, this is the army of Qin. After destroying the Xiongnu, crippled the Maurya Dynasty, and easily tormenting Rome, the Qin army has become the strongest army in the world today!
Especially when His Highness Prince Ying Yu went into battle, the already powerful Qin army instantly transformed into an indestructible blade. Any army that dared to stand in front of them would be instantly torn into pieces!
Even many military experts have commented that the Qin army with Ying Yu in charge is definitely the most powerful and legendary team in the world from ancient times to the present.
As long as the adjutant thought that he had the opportunity to defeat such an army, or even return without success, the adjutant felt extremely excited in his heart.
This is an opportunity enough to leave a name in history!
"By the way, if our Carthaginian army really resists the attack from the Qin army, maybe those decadent Carthaginian nobles will change their views on us after learning about our glorious record.
.”
"Isn't the reason why they are so anxious is because they are afraid of offending Great Qin and then being randomly sent by Great Qin to destroy them with an army?
As long as we show such a record, I believe they will not hinder us in any way from now on."
The adjutant's eyes lit up as he suddenly thought of this.
During this period, especially after the Carthaginian nobles learned that Hannibal not only disobeyed their orders and did not retreat, but also led his troops to occupy the Roman defense line, the Carthaginian nobles were
Furious.
Almost every once in a while, letters would be sent to condemn their behavior.
Moreover, he often issued orders to them, asking Hannibal to immediately lead the Carthaginian army to retreat. Every line of his words revealed his fear of the Qin Dynasty.
Sometimes he even hinted at taking action against Hannibal’s family!
If it weren't for Hannibal's foresight, he would have asked his friends to move his wife, son, and family members to a secret place. M.
In addition, Hannibal's prestige in Carthage is very high. If he attacks Hannibal's family easily, it will easily lead to public outrage. Otherwise, the nobles might actually use their family members as a threat to force Hannibal to take action.
Nibal surrendered.
However, even so, the behavior of the Carthaginian nobles not only annoyed Hannibal, but also easily shook the morale of the Carthaginian army.
After all, no matter how stupid those Carthaginian nobles were, they were still the nominal rulers of Carthage. In the hearts of those soldiers, the idea of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism was instilled in them since childhood. The reason why they followed Hannibal to raid Rome
In addition to being loyal to Hannibal, the garrison was actually more about protecting the country.
Therefore, not only can they get the support of the Carthaginian nobles, at least they can not object and maintain a tacit attitude towards all actions of the Carthaginian army. This will undoubtedly greatly increase the confidence of the Carthaginian army.
"Hmph, those idiot nobles will indeed change their views on us, but if you expect those decadent nobles to really change their minds, it will probably be even harder than climbing to the sky!"
"Because even if we can barely resist the attack of the Qin army, those nobles will not only be surprised by the capabilities of our Carthage army, but they will never be happy about it. Instead, they will be more afraid.
, and never-ending suspicion!”
"When we were fighting Rome before, we pushed the Roman army into desperate situations many times, but because those stupid nobles were worried that we would achieve great success and shock the emperor, they forcibly recalled us. As a result, we fell short of success. Such a thing I
I don’t know how many times I have experienced it, but I have already seen through their faces.”
"If it weren't for the fact that my family is still in the capital of Carthage, and that I can't bear to go through life-and-death experiences with my comrades-in-arms, I would have abandoned Carthage long ago and gone to another country."
Hannibal sneered, and finally sighed heavily, as if he had given up on the high-ranking Carthage nobles.
There was no way he could help it. Over the years, he had worked hard for Carthage, thinking about how to revive Carthage all the time, and he had endured countless pressures.
As a result, Hannibal not only did not receive any commendation, but also suffered suspicion from the high-ranking nobles.
Even his family and friends had to live in fear, fearing that his hiding place would be discovered by the nobles and senior officials, and then used as a tool to threaten Hannibal.
I'm afraid no one would be able to bear this kind of thing. Hannibal has not betrayed him until now, and he has already done his duty and is loyal.
"The behavior of those nobles is indeed chilling. I have to say something inappropriate. It is a pity for a worldly talent like you, General, to stay in Carthage, which has almost no development prospects and is even on the verge of ruin.
Already."
"For you, there should be a bigger stage for you to display your talents to your heart's content. For example, the opponent we will encounter soon, Qin!"
"With the strength that Great Qin has shown now, it is only a matter of time before it unifies the Western Regions.
