Chapter 636 Hannibal Withdraws His Troops
After a quarter of an hour.
Of the [-] Carthaginian soldiers sent by Hannibal, [-] of them successfully retreated to the other side of the river and returned to the camp of the Carthaginian army.
But as for the remaining [-] Carthaginian soldiers, none of them came back!
This made Hannibal's heart bleed, and the veins on his forehead were exposed. He glared at Wang Ben and the Qin army on the other side of the river, almost popping his eyes out!
"General! Daqin's army uses such terrible weapons. It seems that with a hundred thousand soldiers, it is impossible to stop Daqin's footsteps."
"What should our army do next?!
The terrified adjutant looked helplessly at Hannibal.
"Proceed with the order, all the soldiers retreat to the fortress to defend, and at the same time order the [-] soldiers who are attacking Rome to retreat as well!"
"We lost this battle. If we want to survive in this Roman territory, we can only rely on the strong Roman fortress for defense!"
Hannibal took a deep breath and said helplessly.
As he spoke, a sense of sadness rose in his heart.
After half an hour.
On the other side of the river, Hannibal led the remaining [-] troops and began to evacuate.
"General! The Carthaginian army has withdrawn. Will our army pursue it?"
Seeing this scene, Chen Li stepped forward and asked Wang Ben.
"unnecessary."
Hearing this, Wang Ben shook his head slightly and said.
"General, this is a good time to destroy the Carthaginian army!"
Hearing Wang Zhi's words, Chen Li was a little puzzled.
"Did you forget what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said before leaving?"
"This time I led the army to see it as a reinforcement for Rome, but in fact, His Royal Highness wanted me to stand firm in Rome."
"If you help Rome destroy the Carthaginian army so quickly, then there is no reason for our army to stay in Rome, and this will only waste our army's shells and firearms."
"On the contrary, if these Carthaginian troops are kept, it will still be a great threat to Rome, and Rome will still need reinforcements from our Great Qin."
"In this way, we will be able to lead the army to stay in Rome in a legitimate manner. This will pave the way for His Royal Highness Ying Yu to lead an army to conquer the Western Regions and dominate the world in the future!"
Wang Ben glanced at Chen Li lightly, and said slowly.
"Look at my brain, how dare I forget about this!"
"The general taught me a lesson!"
Hearing Wang Ben's words, Chen Li smiled embarrassedly.
"All right."
"The order is passed on, the army rests for a while, and then moves on to join the Roman army."
At this time, Wang Ben waved his hand slightly and said.
"Yes! General!"
"Yes! General!"
"Yes! General!"
As Wang Zhe spoke, all the soldiers responded respectfully.
Half a day later, Wang Ben led his army towards the city where tens of thousands of Roman troops were located.
......
at the same time.
In a city in Rome.
"Report!"
"Report to the Consul, Carthage's [-] troops have begun to withdraw!"
An adjutant walked into the room, looked at Sibiah who was above the main seat, and said excitedly.
"What did you say?!"
"Carthage withdrew?"
Sibiah stood up straight away, and said in an equally excited and unbelievable way.
"Exactly!"
"Hannibal's adjutant seems to have received Hannibal's order, and led the [-] Carthaginian army to withdraw to the defensive wall!"
The adjutant smiled excitedly.
"So good!"
"In this way, this city and our tens of thousands of Roman troops will lose their threat."
Scipia breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in relief.
"By the way, what are the casualties of our army in this battle?"
Afterwards, Sibiah spoke again.
"Returning to the consul, our army tried its best to defend this battle, but there were still tens of thousands of dead and countless wounded."
Hearing Sibiah's words, the adjutant thought for a while, and said helplessly.
"I didn't expect that there would be so many casualties."
Sibiah also spoke unwillingly and helplessly.
Although Carthage's [-]-strong army is strong, tens of thousands of Roman troops rely on a very strong city wall, which can be described as a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, plus a variety of defensive equipment.
However, in the face of the attack of Carthage's [-] troops, the Roman army still suffered heavy casualties.
This is enough to show that the combat power and strength of the Roman army has been greatly reduced, while the combat power and strength of the Carthaginian army is constantly increasing.
"What happened to the Daqin army?"
"The Carthaginian army was supposed to be winning. The sudden withdrawal must have something to do with the [-] troops of Great Qin."
Sibiah suddenly thought of it, and asked.
He knew very well in his heart that Rome's tens of thousands of troops relied on the city, and although they could hold it for a while, they couldn't hold on for too long.
After all, with the combat power and strength of the tens of thousands of Roman remnants, it is definitely not the opponent of Carthage's [-] troops.
With Hannibal's military ability, he definitely would not order to stop attacking Rome.
The only thing that can be said is that Daqin put great pressure on Hannibal and the Carthaginian army, so that Hannibal had to order the withdrawal of troops.
"General, as you said, the Carthaginian army suddenly withdrew. It was Daqin who made it impossible for Hannibal to compete with Carthage's [-] troops, so Hannibal ordered the withdrawal!"
The adjutant nodded solemnly.
"Do you know the specific battle situation?"
There was a gleam in Sibi's eyes.
"According to the reports from the spies sent by our army, after the Great Qin army met, Hannibal sent tens of thousands of troops to attack the Great Qin army, trying to stop the Great Qin army."
"However, the generals of the Qin army used tricks to annihilate the vanguard of Carthage, and even held back the tens of thousands of troops sent by Hannibal."
"Afterwards, two extremely terrifying weapons appeared in the Great Qin army. Although one of them had ten weapons, its power was earth-shattering. Even the ground is shaking."
"Two or three rounds of attacks by ten weapons can cause thousands of casualties to the Carthaginian army."
The adjutant took out a secret report from his pocket and said.
"What did you say!"
"Two or three rounds of attacks by just ten weapons can cause tens of thousands of casualties to the Carthaginian army. How is this possible?"
"What kind of weapon is this?!"
Hearing the adjutant's words, Sibiah suddenly exclaimed, his face and eyes were full of astonishment and shock!
"General, this is not the most desperate thing for the Carthaginian army!"
At this time, the adjutant spoke again.
Then he read out the contents of the secret report one by one, and the content of the secret report was the general situation of the battle on the battlefield on both sides of the river.
