The reason why the adjutant was excited was because after the exploration team explored the situation of the entire Roman border fortress, he deeply realized its power!

He didn't know much about these border fortresses of Rome before, and felt that there was not much difference between these fortresses and those of Carthage.

In his opinion, the reason why these Roman fortresses were easy to defend and difficult to attack was simply because they occupied the geographical advantage of being basically surrounded by plains and mountainous terrain that could not shield the army.

This made the connected fortresses on the Roman border a natural chasm that was insurmountable for foreign enemies.

After all, before them, no army had ever attacked a Roman fortress head-on.

But when the adjutant saw the report given to him by the exploration team, he realized that it was his own ignorance.

These fortresses on the Roman border were far more powerful than he had thought before!

The Romans invested a lot of manpower and material resources in these border fortresses. When Rome was still glorious, they had already built these border fortresses and laid a solid foundation for them.

After generations of Roman reinforcements and improvements, many facilities were added and designed, which greatly enhanced the defensive power and practicality of these border fortresses in Rome today.

In addition to the tall and stable fortress walls, there are also various hidden granaries and weapons depots inside these fortresses.

There are even many fields that can be cultivated, as well as a well-equipped weapons and armor forge!

Such a strong fortress, as long as there are no internal problems, it will be difficult to break through no matter how many enemies come.

Even if the fortress is surrounded by enemy troops, because of the existence of fields and forgings, whether it is food or equipment and materials needed for combat, it can be produced independently and be self-sufficient.

Even if all these facilities and sites are useless, the weapons and food stored in the darkroom alone are enough to last the defenders in the fortress for several years.

In addition to food supplies, many well-excavated secret passages have also been discovered inside these fortresses.

These passages are very wide and extend in all directions, connecting various places in the border fortress. Therefore, it is completely possible for an army to pass through these passages and quickly reach a certain place in the border fortress without anyone noticing.

This is not only beneficial to the support between various parts of the army, but also confuses the enemy's sight, making them unable to understand the situation of your army.

This is extremely helpful for both the defense and offense of the army.

Although the adjutant hated the Romans deeply, he did not admit the gap between Carthage and Rome. The Romans' border fortresses were indeed much stronger than their Carthage border fortresses.

No wonder the Roman army was clearly not as capable as the Carthaginian army in the past, but with these border fortresses, it was always able to keep them at bay, and it would last for several years.

If it weren't for Hannibal's suspicions, which caused the Roman garrison to relax their vigilance, otherwise if the situation continued like this, I'm afraid that in a few years' time, their Carthaginian army would not be able to attack these Roman fortresses head-on.

This shows how powerful the defenses of these fortresses on the Roman border were.

"Well, you did a good job. For us now, apart from the status of soldiers in the army, the most important thing is the familiarity with these fortresses."

"Now that these fortresses have been occupied by us, we must turn them into our own strength and let our Carthaginian army use them to deal with the Roman army and block the Qin army that may come to support at any time.

A sharp weapon!"

Having said this, Hannibal's expression suddenly became very serious.

Although there has been no news from Da Qin that the Da Qin army is about to go to support Rome, and he has decided to face the pressure from the Da Qin army, Hannibal still felt it when the word Da Qin was mentioned.

threaten.

There is no way, Da Qin's army is too powerful!

Not only was their equipment level far superior to that of the Carthaginian army, but even their military strategy was far inferior to that of Great Qin.

Compared to the Carthaginian army, which could only run rampant, Da Qin's army was not only powerful in combat, but also had flexible tactics. This was what he was most worried about.

Facing such an army, even a man like Hannibal, who was used to seeing wind and rain, found it difficult to calm down.

"General, there is no need to be so afraid of the Qin army. Now we have figured out all the information about the border fortress."

"I believe that as long as it relies on its defensive function and the natural geographical advantages of the border fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, coupled with your wise guidance, general, even if Da Qin does come with reinforcements, without their understanding, who will win?

It’s not certain who will bear the responsibility.”

"Even if we can't defeat it, as long as we are huddled in this fortress, the Qin army will do whatever they can to us. Even if they bombard such a tall and strong city wall with siege vehicles for months and years, it may not have any effect!

"

The adjutant saw Hannibal's expression and immediately spoke.

Obviously, after learning about the powerful defensive performance of the Roman border fortress, he was already full of confidence at this time.

Moreover, people all over the world say how terrifying the Qin army is. It is known as the best in the world. It wiped out the powerful grassland tribes and crippled the Mauryan Dynasty in a snap.

Even their general Hannibal was extremely afraid of Qin's army.

Although the adjutant said that he recognized the power of Great Qin, he still felt that those people's words about the Great Qin army were too exaggerated and somewhat untrue.

In the view of the adjutant, everyone carries one head on two shoulders. Even if there is a gap in the weapons and armor of each other's armies, how can the combat effectiveness be different?

It is true that the prince of Da Qin was indeed a master of clever calculations, and the other generals and commanders were also as talented as Hannibal, and their various strategies and strategies were all superior.

But defending the city is different from the usual battle between the two armies. There is no need to form a formation, nor does it need to collide with the Qin army head-on.

When the Qin army arrived, their Carthaginian army only had to stay silent and guard the city wall.

Anyway, with the thousands of acres of farmland and forging grounds within the fortress, there is no need to worry about the siege of the Qin army.
