Chapter 634 Hannibal Undeterred
"General! The Qin army has such terrifying weapons, how can we compete with the Qin army next?"
The lieutenant's eyes fell on the ten heavy artillery pieces on the other side of the river, and he could not take his eyes away. His heart gradually became more frightened.
At this moment, Hannibal fell into silence.
His whole body seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he was extremely sluggish. He only felt cold all over his body, and the chill in his chest could not stop surging.
The faces of the other Carthaginian generals were also extremely ugly, and their faces were extremely pale.
When the terrifying, deafening roar sounded again in their ears, their bodies felt a chill, which suddenly jumped up from the soles of their feet, all the way up, reaching their Tianling Caps, and even their scalps.
Then I became numb for a while.
The rich smell of blood, mixed with the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke, filled the air. The hairs on the backs of Hannibal, his adjutant, and all the Carthaginian soldiers stood up, and cold sweat oozed out like rain, soaking them all.
their intimate clothing.
Not only the Carthaginian soldiers, but also the war horses in the Carthaginian army camp also screamed and panicked.
The sound of horses neighing and soldiers screaming in surprise continued, and there was a sudden commotion in the Carthaginian army formation.
The scenes that happened on the other side of the river made all the other Carthaginian soldiers feel trembling and fearful.
They have never seen such a terrifying weapon on the battlefield such as heavy artillery.
They had never seen such a terrifying weapon with such great power.
Faced with such weapons, it seemed difficult for them to have any thoughts of resistance.
"Your Excellency General?"
"What should we do next?"
Seeing Hannibal's silence, the lieutenant spoke again in a panic.
At this time, Hannibal finally came to his senses.
His face gradually calmed down, but at this time there was bitterness and helplessness in the corner of his mouth that could not be dissipated for a long time.
Hannibal clenched his teeth and kept looking at the other side of the river, his eyes full of anxiety.
On the battlefield with noisy artillery fire, the Carthaginian soldiers who crossed the river were blown to pieces by cannonballs falling from the sky before they had time to charge to the Qin army's camp.
Even the Carthaginian soldiers who were still crossing the river were more or less affected by the heavy artillery.
Looking around, the ground and rivers were filled with broken corpses and flowing blood. Orange-red flames were raging on the battlefield, making people tremble.
Hannibal knew in his heart that if Qin's heavy artillery bombardment was allowed to continue, the 40,000 Carthaginian soldiers he sent out would definitely be destroyed by the roar of artillery fire and the attack of Qin's soldiers.
If this happens, not to mention preventing Qin's 50,000 troops from reinforcing Rome, I am afraid that all the 100,000 Carthaginian troops he brought will be annihilated by Qin's 50,000 soldiers!
But for a while, Hannibal couldn't think of a way to deal with it.
The ten heavy artillery pieces in front of the Daqin camp were still bombarding continuously.
Cannonballs pierced the sky one after another, exploding in the river, on the battlefield, in the formation of the Carthage army, and in the panicked roars of the Carthage soldiers!
Countless Carthage soldiers turned into puddles of flesh and blood.
If Nestern saw this scene, he would probably be heartbroken to death.
After all, artillery shells are expensive to make, and bombing them indiscriminately like Wang Ben's is somewhat wasteful.
However, the effect brought about is still very significant.
At this moment, all the soldiers in Carthage were suffering from liver and gallbladder splitting. Everyone was running around in the river with panic in their eyes, trying to escape this devastating blow.
"General! Our army's casualties are increasing!"
The fear and panic in the lieutenant's heart seemed to have reached an extreme level.
"Give me the order to disperse all the soldiers, disperse their formations, and not to gather together."
"As long as they are broken into pieces and dispersed across the river, the threat to our army from Da Qin's terrifying weapons will be minimized!"
Overlooking the entire battlefield, Hannibal took a deep breath and hurriedly shouted an order.
After hearing Hannibal's order, the generals around him hesitated for a while and then went down one after another to pass on the order.
Not long after, tens of thousands of Carthaginian troops received the order and began to take action.
For a time, the power and lethality caused by the ten heavy artillery pieces were indeed reduced.
Seeing this scene, a faint smile finally appeared on the faces of Hannibal and his adjutant.
"It looks like this can work!"
"In this way, although the Qin army's weapon is powerful, its lethality is not that terrible. As long as we spread out, how effective can this weapon be against my 100,000-strong army?"
Hannibal put his hands behind his back, let out a breath, and spoke slowly.
"But, General! We seem to have overlooked a problem!"
At this time, the deputy general suddenly thought of something and said quickly.
"What's the problem?"
Hannibal turned to look at the adjutant beside him.
"This terrible weapon is Da Qin's secret weapon. And with Da Qin's current national power, how many of these things are there?"
"Although you can minimize losses by spreading out tens of thousands of soldiers, but if this kind of weapon is used, how can Da Qin do more than that?
This kind of weapon is so powerful that if there are enough of them, even if our troops disperse their formations and break them into pieces, it may not be of any use."
The lieutenant general looked panicked and said with a solemn expression of concern.
"This general has also thought of this. This kind of weapon is indeed terrifying."
"But if Da Qin's 50,000 troops have more of these weapons, why don't they all move them out as soon as possible."
"If it were me, I would definitely use all weapons as soon as possible. This would definitely catch the enemy off guard, severely damage the enemy, and minimize the enemy's threat."
"Even with such terrifying weapons, the enemy army is very likely to collapse directly. But at this moment, the Great Qin army still only has those ten weapons. Maybe the 50,000 Great Qin soldiers only brought these ten weapons."
"And if there are only these ten sects in the Great Qin army, then our Carthage army still has a chance to fight against the Great Qin army!"
Hannibal took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone.
Even so, he was still very worried in his heart.
Hannibal's military ability is not weak, and he immediately saw the important points of this battle, but in Hannibal's heart, he was also taking a gamble!
Hannibal was betting that among the 50,000 troops of the Qin Dynasty, there were only these ten heavy artillery pieces, and the secret weapons that the Qin Dynasty relied on were only these ten heavy artillery pieces.
