"How many troops did Great Qin send in total? Have you found out clearly?"

Hannibal took a deep breath and asked.

"What is the specific number? Our spies stationed in Da Qin have not given an accurate number yet, but according to their rough estimates, including the logistics troops, etc., the reinforcements from Da Qin this time should only be around 50,000 to 60,000 people."

The adjutant replied immediately.

"What? Only fifty or sixty thousand? Are you sure those spies got it right, or did you hear it right?"

When he heard the number of Qin's reinforcements, Hannibal was very surprised, and even couldn't believe his ears.

"The news is absolutely reliable. There are really only 50,000 to 60,000 people."

The adjutant nodded again and confirmed the answer.

"Your Excellency General, this is the information sent back from Da Qin. Everything about Da Qin's reinforcements is written on it."

After speaking, the adjutant placed a piece of paper intelligence sent by the spy on his desk.

Hannibal looked at the paper information in front of him and immediately flipped through it.

But no matter how many times he looked at the number above, it was always fifty or sixty thousand, which made Hannibal instantly fall into deep thought.

"With Great Qin's intelligence network and the fact that our Carthaginian army has fought so many battles with Rome, they should already know the specific number of our soldiers."

"Faced with Carthage's nearly 160,000-strong army, the Qin Dynasty only sent 50,000 to 60,000 Qin soldiers to support us. Even if we add in the remaining defeated soldiers of the Roman army, the number of soldiers does not exceed 100,000.

"

"Could it be that Prince Ying Yu of Great Qin wants to destroy our Carthage army of 200,000 men just by relying on these troops?"

"Could it be that he regards our Carthage soldiers as the original Rome? Does he regard this general as that idiot Bliss?"

Hannibal couldn't understand what Da Qin was doing.

The combat effectiveness of the Da Qin army is very strong, and their military strategies are also very excellent, but the number of people in the war is also a crucial factor.

The difference between 50,000 and 160,000 is enough to make up for the problem of combat power.

When Qin's reinforcements arrived and the war between Carthage and the Qin army officially started, the Roman army had suffered heavy losses in the previous wars and it was difficult to form any considerable combat effectiveness.

Even if they went to the battlefield, at most they would just harass the Carthaginian army on the flanks of the battlefield. The actual effect could basically be ignored. Only the Qin army was the absolute main force.

However, 150,000 versus 50,000 is a three times difference.

In other words, when the war begins, on average one Qin soldier will face the siege of three Carthage soldiers.

Under such circumstances, even though the weapons and armor of the Qin soldiers were far more sophisticated than those of the Carthage soldiers, and their bodies were supplemented by various nutrition plans, they were stronger than the Carthage soldiers.

But there are always two shoulders carrying one head. As the saying goes, two fists cannot defeat four hands, and the soldiers of Da Qin will definitely be defeated.

I am afraid that any general who has read military books can understand such a simple relationship of interest. Hannibal absolutely does not believe that Prince Ying Yu, who is respected as the "God of War" by the world, would not know this.

With the strength of Great Qin's military power, not to mention 50,000 Great Qin soldiers, even 500,000 could definitely be dispatched. However, Ying Yu still chose the former.

You know, with Da Qin's current strength, it would be an easy task to send two to three hundred thousand reinforcements to support Rome.

However, Da Qin only sent tens of thousands of people. This abnormal behavior made Hannibal a little confused.

"Your Majesty General, in my opinion, the Qin Dynasty is preparing to use 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack our Carthage army of 200,000 men. This is clearly looking down on our Carthage, and it is the greatest contempt that the Qin Dynasty has for our Carthage army.

!”

"It must be that the Great Qin army has experienced so many vigorous wars since His Highness Prince Ying Yu took over. No matter what enemy it faced, it basically never lost, so it began to swell a bit."

"They actually mistook our Carthaginian army for the stupid Roman army back then, and wanted to replicate the miracle of war where tens of thousands of Qin troops defeated 200,000 enemy troops!"

The adjutant said rather angrily.

It’s no wonder that the adjutant was so emotional. After all, Da Qin’s behavior of using 50,000 troops to fight against 150,000 troops was, at best, absolute confidence in his own army. At worst, it was called arrogance and arrogance.

.

The Qin army is indeed very strong. In every aspect, it is almost several levels ahead of the world's armies. Their Carthaginian army is indeed incomparable.

But no matter what, their Carthaginian army is at least one of the best in the Western Region, and it is definitely not bad when looking at the entire world.

Especially after defeating their old enemy the Roman army several times and occupying several Roman cities in succession, the current Carthaginian army's morale was at its peak, and naturally it could not stand the humiliation of the Qin army or Ying Yu.

But in fact, Ying Yu really didn't mean this.

The reason why Ying Yu sent 50,000 Qin soldiers to Rome for support was because he calculated the optimal solution. The number of 50,000 soldiers was neither too much nor too few, plus the firearms battalion and heavy artillery.

With cooperation, it won't be a problem to take down Hannibal.

And to be honest, Ying Yu had never paid much attention to the 150,000 so-called elites of Carthage.

Even if they have caused a lot of trouble in the Western Region recently, in Ying Yu's opinion, it is just a small fight. Junqu Pavilion

If it were not for the consideration of future intellectual issues over the vast territory and the harmonious coexistence between foreigners and Qin people.

As long as Ying Yu wants to, with the Qin army, with one order, not to mention destroying Carthage, even the entire Western Region can be annexed!

For Ying Yu, leading the Qin Dynasty to unify the world is his ultimate goal.

As for the adjutant's understanding of deliberately humiliating Carthage, this kind of thing is not only meaningless, but Ying Yu doesn't bother to do it.

"But this is fine. If the Qin Dynasty pays enough attention to our Carthaginian army, it will send more than ten or two hundred thousand soldiers to Rome to support it."

"Then with the current combat strength of our Carthage army and the huge gap in equipment and weapons with the Qin army, it can basically be said that we are bound to lose!"

"Now the Qin Dynasty looks down upon our Carthaginian army, so it only sent 50,000 Qin soldiers. Although such behavior is infuriating."

"But if our Carthaginian army can take this opportunity and successfully defeat the Qin army, thus breaking the myth of their invincibility."
