But if, as the adjutant said, the number of heavy artillery among the 50,000 Qin army across the river is more than these ten, then it will be very disadvantageous for the Carthaginian army.

If the Qin army used all its heavy artillery, it would be a devastating blow to the Carthaginian army.

No matter how outstanding Hannibal's military talent was, he could not lead a 100,000 Carthaginian army against a 50,000-strong army armed with many such weapons.

By then, if they are unable to stop the 50,000-strong Qin army in front of them, the Carthaginian army may have no choice but to give up attacking Rome and retreat to the defensive walls.

If this happens, Hannibal and Carthage's 200,000-strong army will not be far from destruction.

at the same time.

In front of the Qin army formation on the other side of the river, Wang Ben's eyes flashed with light, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"General, it seems that Hannibal of Carthage does have some abilities. He quickly figured out how to deal with ten heavy artillery pieces."

Beside Wang Ben, Wang Yi smiled slightly in surprise.

"Hannibal ordered the tens of thousands of Carthaginian soldiers who came to charge to disperse into formations and break them into pieces. This will indeed allow the soldiers to minimize casualties under the bombardment of our Daqin's ten heavy artillery."

"But this time when we came to reinforce Rome, the 50,000 soldiers under my command not only brought these ten heavy artillery pieces, but also brought a firearms battalion!"

"I would like to take a look, General. The Carthaginian army, which was reduced to pieces, thought it had a hope of survival. After becoming qualified to compete with our Great Qin army, it was once again subjected to a fierce attack by our Great Qin's fire. What kind of situation would it be like?

What an expression."

Wang Ben's eyes flashed with cold light and he sneered.

"Yes! General!"

"The general understands."

Wang Ben's words made Wang Yi understand instantly.

After that, Wang Yi turned around and left.

Only a quarter of an hour.

Wang Yi led everyone in the firearms camp to the front of the camp and stood ready in the open space behind Wang Ben.

"General, the firearms battalion is ready!"

Wang Yi came to Wang Ben's side again and said.

"The order is passed, all the crossbowmen and infantry will protect the soldiers of the firearms battalion. At the same time, the firearms battalion is located on the river bank to attack."

"This time, I will make sure that the Carthaginian soldiers who want to cross the river to attack our army will stay here forever!"

Wang Ben nodded, and then ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes! General!"

Wang Yi responded respectfully.

Subsequently, under the protection of 10,000 Qin soldiers, the Firearms Battalion arrived at the bank of the river.

Every soldier in the firearms battalion had fighting spirit in their eyes, and their eyes fell on all the Carthaginian soldiers in the river.

The next moment, every firearms battalion soldier lit the firearms in their hands and threw them towards the Carthaginian army.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Bang bang bang!"

But in the blink of an eye, countless firearms streaked across the sky with acrid smoke, and exploded above the river among the Carthaginian army.

"Ahhh!"

In an instant, the heart-shaking screams and wails sounded again, filling the air again, echoing on the battlefield and in the ears of everyone on both sides of the river.

Although the firearms battalion's firearms are far less powerful than heavy artillery, the only advantage of firearms is their huge number!

If the quantity allows, the damage that firearms can cause is no less than ten heavy artillery pieces.

Moreover, the firearm is convenient and compact, making it easier to aim at the target. It has a miraculous effect on dealing with tens of thousands of Carthaginian soldiers who are scattered in scattered formations.

At the same time, the archers protecting the firearms camp were not to be outdone and started shooting towards the river.

In the sky, cannonballs, firearms, and arrows were missing, falling like heavy rain towards the tens of thousands of Carthage soldiers who were crossing the river.

Facing such a terrifying attack, even the Carthaginian soldiers who were dispersed in formation and broken into pieces had no power to fight back or any defensive capabilities.

Suddenly, cannonballs, firearms and arrows were dropped in the river like exploding fish and shooting rabbits, killing tens of thousands of Carthage soldiers.

Suddenly, the tens of thousands of Carthage soldiers who were charging fell into deep despair!

At this moment, the river had turned red, dyed into a river of blood by the blood of the Carthage soldiers!

"Damn Da Qin!"

"There are actually other weapons with terrible power. Even if our army spreads out its formation and breaks it into pieces, it won't work!"

"No wonder, even though it is known that our Carthage army has 200,000 soldiers, the Qin Dynasty still only sent 50,000 troops to reinforce Rome."

"It turns out that among the 50,000 Qin troops, there are such terrifying weapons. How can our army contend against such weapons?"

On the other side of the river, Hannibal looked at the red river water, at the corpses floating on the river, and at the Carthaginian soldiers running wildly and escaping. The veins on his forehead popped out, and his heart suddenly felt cold.

Half of it.

The Carthaginian soldiers in the river were like prey in front of the Qin army.

"General! Da Qin has such terrifying weapons. Even if our 100,000 troops charge together, I'm afraid we won't be able to pose much of a threat to Da Qin's 50,000 troops!"

"And if we continue to attack, our army's casualties will only become more severe!"

Beside Hannibal, the adjutant was also in deep fear and panic.

I thought that the Great Qin army only had such terrifying weapons as heavy artillery, but who would have thought that the Great Qin army actually had another terrifying weapon.

Although the weapons that ordinary soldiers can throw are not as powerful as those ten heavy artillery, those small and lightweight weapons can cause greater threats and casualties to the Carthage army!

"Send the order and have all soldiers retreat at full speed!

Hannibal took a deep breath, his words full of panic!

"Yes! General!"

The adjutant did not hesitate, and after responding, he quickly went down to convey Hannibal's order.

Time passes minute by minute.

The tens of thousands of Carthaginian soldiers who charged into the river began to retreat frantically and even desperately.

At this moment, every Carthage soldier had no time to think about anything else, and everyone could only resign themselves to fate.

Countless Carthaginian soldiers were cut off by heavy artillery and firearms, and could only stand in the river with a look of despair, wailing in fear.

More and more Carthaginian soldiers fell into the river that turned into a river of blood under the attack of heavy artillery, firearms and rain of arrows.

The river between the Qin army and the Carthage army has almost become a river of blood!
