Chapter 601
At this time, little Scipio's face was extremely ugly. Of course he knew how powerful the Qin soldiers were.
At the beginning, the Qin army only used tens of thousands of people to almost wipe out their Roman army of 20. It was precisely because of the heavy losses in this war that Rome went downhill.
"After our Great Qin army marches to Rome and fights against the Carthaginian army, we will know whether the soldiers sent by our Great Qin can defeat the Carthaginian army."
Ying Yu smiled and said.
What he said was not only to answer Little Scipio's doubts, but also to beat Little Scipio by taking advantage of the case that the Roman army of 20 was defeated by the Qin's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Remind him, let him not point fingers at Daqin's affairs.
After all, it is now that Rome is asking for Qin, not their Qin is asking for Rome.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the fact that little Scipio was Sophie's cousin, his dictating behavior just now would have killed him eight hundred times.
"Little Scipio, you have heard what the prince said just now. The number of my Daqin reinforcements is the result of many careful considerations, and there is no way to change it easily."
"Do you still have a different opinion on this?"
Ying Zheng looked at Little Scipio and said.
"No more, no more, since His Majesty the Emperor has said so, the foreign ministers will naturally trust Da Qin unconditionally and have no objection."
Although Ying Zheng's tone was calm, little Scipio was so frightened that he trembled and responded quickly.
Little Scipio was also trained by Scipio as the next highest consul in Rome, so naturally he would not be ignorant of the meaning of Ying Zheng and Ying Yu's words.
It was nothing more than to remind little Scipio to recognize his identity and not to try to dictate the internal affairs of Great Qin.
If little Scipio really didn't know what to do, and still entangled with the number of soldiers in the Daqin reinforcements, it would be nothing for him to suffer some flesh and blood.
I'm afraid that Ying Zheng or Ying Yu will be unhappy, and they will simply withdraw their troops and not reinforce Rome.
If this is the case, given Rome's current situation, if it loses the aid of Daqin, it may really be close to being destroyed!
Then his little Scipio would be the eternal sinner of Rome!
Therefore, after responding to Ying Zheng, little Scipio was afraid that he would continue to offend Ying Yu and Ying Zheng, so he immediately led the Roman mission to retreat in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready for the army, and we will go to Rome immediately after your order."
At this moment, a voice of inquiry came from below the high platform.
It turned out that Wang Ben had finished his inspection of the army, and at the moment he was asking for instructions from Ying Zheng.
"Okay! Send an order, the army will go out immediately!"
"General Wang Ben, I and all civil and military officials are waiting for your triumphant return in Xianyang City!"
Ying Zheng's face was full of anticipation and a smile.
"No! The last general will go all out to defeat the Carthaginian army led by Hannibal in one fell swoop, Yang Wo Da Qin Guowei!"
Wang Ben solemnly promised.
Afterwards, he led the confident Daqin soldiers towards Rome.
......
At the same time, in a luxurious-looking office.
Hannibal was drinking the delicious coffee in his hand while admiring the charming scenery outside the window, with a strong smile on his face.
As the saying goes, people are refreshed on happy occasions. The reason why Hannibal is in such a good mood is naturally because of the results of their Carthaginian army during this period of time.
Due to the failure of the Roman army in the first confrontation with the Carthaginian army, the Roman army suffered heavy losses and basically lost the ability to continue fighting or even resist the Carthaginian army.
Therefore, the Roman army was forced to retreat steadily, and Hannibal's Carthaginian army was unstoppable in Rome.
But in just a few days, they have already occupied several cities in Rome!
Although these cities are not that important to Rome in terms of economy or population, they can be regarded as the gates guarding the front of the Roman capital. As long as the next city is captured, the Carthaginian army will be one step closer to the Roman capital. .
This can be said to be the most extensive invasion of Rome since Carthage was founded, and it can be regarded as making history.
At this moment, the door of Hannibal's office was opened, and the person who came was Hannibal's adjutant.
"Your Excellency, according to reports from our spies in Rome, Scipio has asked Daqin for assistance. Now Daqin has sent reinforcements and is heading towards Rome."
"Based on the distance between Daqin and Rome, it should be less than seven days before Daqin's reinforcements will arrive in Rome."
The adjutant reports to Hannibal.
"After waiting for so long, I didn't expect this moment to come."
Hearing the news that the Great Qin army was heading towards Rome, Hannibal's expression, which was originally in high spirits, instantly became extremely dignified.
Although from the moment he led the Carthaginian army and forcibly captured the Roman defense line regardless of the status of the marriage country between Rome and Great Qin, he had already thought that he would definitely face the attack of the Great Qin army in the near future.
But when he really heard the news that the Daqin army was coming, he couldn't help but thump in his heart.
Hannibal has been leading the army for so many years and has fought against countless armies. He has never had fear or fear. Even if his Carthaginian army is at a disadvantage, he is still full of confidence in himself.
And the only thing that can make him feel pressured, even awed, is the Daqin army.
There is no other reason, just because the Daqin army is too powerful!
Whether it's weapons and armor, or the combat effectiveness of soldiers, including the most important tactical command and military strategy, even if you look at the whole world, you can't find a second one that is stronger than the Qin army!
The glorious record of invincibility so far is enough to prove their strong strength.
As for the Carthaginian army, although it has been said that the Carthaginian army has defeated the Roman army for a period of time, it is even more invincible in Rome, and it can also be called infinite scenery.
But as the saying goes, his family knows his own affairs, and Hannibal still knows the combat effectiveness of his own army very well, and he can't be ranked in the world at all!
Not to mention fighting against a powerful army like Daqin, even in the Western Regions, there are several armies comparable in strength to them, and their Carthaginian army can only bully Rome when it is short-lived inside and outside. .
