Chapter 619 Unknown means
Hannibal's words made the adjutant's forehead gradually drip with cold sweat, and his heart skipped a beat.
The reason why he was so puzzled, so confused, and even questioned Hannibal's decision, was all because the adjutant thought that the reason why Daqin only sent 5 people was because he looked down on Carthage, because of his arrogance and arrogance. arrogance.
In the eyes of the adjutant, the Carthaginian army has a total of 15 people, and under the coercion of the Carthaginian army, the remaining fighting power of the tens of thousands of Roman remnants is almost negligible.
As Hannibal said, only Daqin could really threaten their Carthaginian army, but this time Daqin only sent 5 people, which made the adjutant feel conceited and proud.
15 troops against [-] troops, needless to say the odds.
But the adjutant never thought about why Daqin only sent tens of thousands of people here after knowing the strength of his side.
It wasn't until after listening to Hannibal's analysis just now that the adjutant suddenly realized.
That's right, no matter who the first emperor or prince of Daqin is, they are not stupid people. Even if they look down on Carthage, it is impossible for them to send their own troops to die.
"Pass down the order to closely monitor every move on the Roman border. If you find any traces of the Qin army, report it immediately. Remember that if you find the Great Qin army, you must not act rashly!"
"Send another [-] troops to launch the most violent attack on the remaining Roman army, and we must destroy the Roman army before the arrival of the Great Qin reinforcements.
Only in this way can we wholeheartedly fight against the Great Qin's [-] troops with all our strength! "
Looking at the dumbfounded adjutant, Hannibal frowned, and ordered coldly.
"Yes! General!"
Following Hannibal's order, the soldiers behind the adjutant quickly responded respectfully, then turned and left.
"By the way, General, there is one more thing."
"I'm afraid this matter is not good for us Carthage."
At this time, the adjutant suddenly spoke.
"What is it?
As soon as the adjutant said this, even the steady Hannibal had a touch of helplessness in his eyes.
"According to the latest news from our spies in Daqin, the prince in Daqin seems to have invented another amazing industrial machine called a steam excavator."
The adjutant took a step forward and said in a heavy tone.
"Steam excavator?"
"Can you find out the specific function of this steam excavator?"
Hannibal frowned, looking puzzled.
"According to the information obtained by our spies, the steam excavator invented by Ying Yu can not only excavate landfills, but also dig mountains and quarry rocks."
"Moreover, this steam excavator can also be used to renovate the land, reclaim farmland, and even build houses and pave roads. Its functions are very comprehensive."
"With this steam excavator in Daqin, many problems and difficulties encountered in the railway construction have been effectively solved, and the speed of laying the railway may be much faster."
The adjutant's words made Hannibal's already dignified face gradually turn ferocious, and a shocking light flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, through the brief introduction of the adjutant, Hannibal has already understood the role of the steam excavator. With the appearance of such industrial machines, the railway construction in Daqin will be accelerated.
At the same time, the steam excavator capable of excavating mountains and quarrying and excavating landfill projects can save a lot of manpower, financial resources and time for many projects and infrastructure in Daqin.
The steam excavator can excavate mountains and quarry, which can increase the mining of Daqin ore, which indirectly increases the production speed and production quantity of Daqin Iron and Steel.
Daqin has developed to the point where it is now, and "Made in Daqin" is spread all over the world.
Hannibal knew very well that as long as the output and quality of steel were improved, it would be of great help to a country, whether it was infrastructure, economic development, or military strength.
What worried Hannibal the most was that the advent of steam excavators accelerated the laying of the Great Qin Railway.
This also means that the railway from Daqin to Rome is also accelerating.
If this railway is built, the trade between Daqin and Rome will become more frequent.
In this way, Qin's economic strength will be further improved, and Rome may also be able to use this to get rid of the current predicament and gradually resume economic development.
Furthermore, many countries in the world are inseparable from "made in Daqin", and all countries have more or less trade relations with Daqin.
If the railway connecting Daqin and Rome is completed, then as long as Daqin is willing, he can transport a large amount of materials, including troops, to Rome, and even to all countries in the entire Western Region through steam trains.
In this case, Daqin's influence in the Western Regions will be even greater.
At that time, countries in the Western Regions, such as Tu'an and other small countries, will not oppose the Great Qin at all, but will only attach and submit to the Great Qin.
And Great Qin wanted to unify the Western Regions and the world, so Carthage, Rome, and other powerful countries in the Western Regions would naturally not let them go.
Facing the powerful Qin army, neither Carthage, Rome, nor other countries in the world may have any power to fight back.
So far, if Hannibal doesn't want to see Carthage destroyed, this battle is the only way to defeat the Roman army, defeat the reinforcements sent by Daqin, and weaken Daqin's influence.
Let the world know that the Qin army is not invincible.
Only in this way, other countries will have the heart to resist the annexation of the Great Qin.
"Send the order, and the army will start to move immediately!"
Thinking of this, Hannibal took a deep breath and said coldly.
.......
On the other side, at this time, Scipio was leading the tens of thousands of Roman remnants, waiting for the final preparations before the battle.
Naturally, Scipio's military talent was not a problem. He knew very well that if he wanted to defeat Carthage's 20 army, it would be impossible to rely on the tens of thousands of demoralized remnants in his hands.
Now his only hope is the [-] troops that Daqin came to reinforce.
Scipio and Hannibal are old rivals.
Based on his understanding of Hannibal, after learning that the reinforcements sent by Daqin were only 5 people, Hannibal would never sit still, and would definitely take the initiative to attack to prevent the Qin army from joining him.
Although Scipio had already made arrangements, he couldn't guarantee whether Daqin's [-] reinforcements would be able to join him smoothly.
"Your Excellency the Consul, according to your instructions, all the spies have been sent out, and no movement of the Carthaginian army has been found so far."
At this time, the adjutant came to Scipio and said respectfully.
"Very well, let me tell you, I must keep abreast of the movements of the Carthaginian army. If Hannibal sends troops to stop the Qin army, he must send the news back as soon as possible."
"Now our only hope for Rome is the [-] troops of Great Qin."
Scipio got up directly from his seat, took a deep breath, and said solemnly.
"Yes! Your Excellency the Consul!"
The adjutant nodded solemnly, then turned and left.
After the adjutant left, Scipio put his hands behind his back, went out of the window, looked in the direction of Daqin, and sighed slightly.
Although for Rome today, the 5 people sent by Daqin are the only hope.
But at this moment, a trace of worry emerged in Scipio's heart.
"Ying Yu, you have the title of 'God of War'. Since you know that the Carthaginian army has a total of 15 people, you still only sent [-] troops to reinforce Rome."
"I don't know where your confidence lies. I hope these 5 people have special means."
"If this battle is lost, not only will Rome go to extinction, but the pattern of the Western Regions will also be rewritten. If your Great Qin wants to unify the Western Regions, it may take more than ten years."
Scipio took another deep breath, and a light flashed in his eyes.
Although he didn't know why Daqin only sent 5 people, but thinking of Ying Yu's military ability and Ying Yu's amazing talent, Scipio was still looking forward to it.
He wanted to see what kind of means this Great Qin Crown Prince, who was honored as the 'God of War' by the Roman people, had.
Although there was a trace of worry in his heart, Scipio believed that Ying Yu was definitely not a proud and complacent person. The [-] reinforcements sent by Daqin must have some unknown means.
