Chapter 121 They Actually Came

Soon the Chinese coalition forces were ready, and the vanguard set off directly the next day.

Their task is to explore the way forward for the army to avoid encountering an ambush or entering dangerous areas.

This time, Zhao Hao did not rush to the front, but followed the main force.

The five thousand elite cavalrymen of Great Qin moved together. Even though they had been together for so long, others could not help but be slightly amazed.

"Why do the equipment you have on you look so much better than ours?"

Xiang Dalong came over and said with a bit of envy at this time.

He also acted with the main force. Because of their status, everyone would not really rush to the front as a pawn.

And although the Qin army only has 5,000 men this time, there is no doubt about its strength.

Xiang Dalong liked to get in front of Zhao Hao, and Xiang Zhuang didn't stop him.

Zhao Hao looked at the equipment on the Chu Lords. In fact, those who came with Xiang Dalong this time were naturally the elites of the Chu Kingdom.

The equipment was actually pretty good. It had an advantage against both the Han and the Xiongnu, not to mention the barbarians. But compared with the Qin army, it was inferior in appearance.

It's just that Zhao Hao is not easy to say directly. The technical equipment gap between the two sides is too big.

You must know that for the equipment of the Qin army, Da Qin has two factions' arsenals, one is the lecture room of the Da Qin government, and the other is the Mohist workshop headed by the Mohist family.

No matter what kind of equipment it is, Da Qin will distribute the requirements to both sides.

Then compare them and use whichever one is better.

Therefore, both sides are striving to do things well, quickly and cheaply, and this requires technology to compete.

But at this time he could only reply with a smile:

"Actually, the difference in equipment is not the most important thing. The key lies in the people."

This is what his father often said.

But Xiang Dalong curled his lips disapprovingly and muttered:

"Don't try to deal with me. When you brought 50,000 people to beat me for 500,000, didn't you just rely on the equipment?

If you don't want to say it, forget it. "

He is not stupid. Previously, his father led the entire country to fight against 50,000 people in Great Qin. What was the result?

They fought desperately and suffered countless casualties, but they could only repel the opponent and could not defeat it. Isn't this because the Qin army's equipment was too outrageous?

Hearing this, Zhao Hao could only blink, because he really couldn't argue.

After thinking for a while, he said:

"If you think about it from another direction, if Chu State hadn't been united and fearless of death, it might have been breached long ago, so people are more important."

Xiang Dalong was stunned. Looking at Zhao Hao, he couldn't tell whether the other party was mocking or comforting for a while.

Seeing the other party's serious look, he still chose the other party to comfort him.

Of course there is another reason, who makes him unable to defeat the opponent's personal guards.

Then he stopped worrying about this matter and asked again:

"This time, what powerful weapons did you bring out?

Do you have those powerful weapons that you call heartless cannons? "

"You have been ruthless in dealing with the Chu State, but you cannot be soft-hearted in dealing with the barbarians!"

The two countries are at war, each using their own methods. He has nothing to say.

But now that all the Chinese forces have united to attack the barbarians, he doesn't want the Qin army to spare a hand.

Zhao Hao just smiled and replied:

"You'll know then."

He really didn't know about this matter.

General Han holds all the secrets in the army, and even he cannot enter some camps.

But according to the previous arrangement, he guessed that he brought Feitian ink lanterns, crossbows, rockets, and heartless cannons. He didn't know.

As for the sky thunder, the other three countries in China also have it.

"Why do you like to hide everything?"

Xiang Dalong complained, but didn’t ask any more questions, and instead said:

"Those people were defeated in this battle. What do you want from them?"

He is confident that he will win this war.

The winner is certainly entitled to claim from the loser.

Zhao Hao thought for a while and quickly said:

"I want their map and the conditions to protect trade."

This is what he learned by following his father.

Because this is what dad does to his surroundings.

"map?

Protect trade? "

Xiang Dalong frowned and said:

"What do you want these for?"

"If I were to ask them for good horses, good weapons, and money! Only in this way can I become stronger."

In his view, as long as he is strong enough, others are just objects for him to take.

Hearing this, Zhao Hao smiled and said nothing.

Xiang Zhuang, on the other hand, glanced at Zhao Hao with a somewhat complicated expression. He did not expect...

But before he could make any other moves, he noticed another look, and then turned around to see Meng Zhi with an indifferent expression.

So he quickly looked away to avoid misunderstanding.

I can only sigh in my heart that there is someone to succeed that person.

Although we got along with each other in the past few days, this Zhao Hao is not as shameless as that person.

But with this kind of thinking, being a king who defends the city is enough.

As for his nephew, he learned the dominance of the overlord, but he still lacked many plans.

It's also because Da Chu doesn't have very good teachers, and now those talents are all in Da Qin.

Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang's heart moved slightly. He could let Xiang Dalong go to Da Qin to study. He would mention this matter to Overlord when the time comes.

Everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, and the team quickly headed west.

A few days later, a small city on the border of Rome was already overcrowded, but these people were not ordinary people, most of them were young Roman soldiers.

The strong figure, protected by leather armor, exudes a different kind of beauty.

Of course, no one actually appreciated this, because teams of messengers kept coming and going, delivering information to their highest commander.

At this time, on top of the city, Hannibal looked at the letter in front of him, which was sent by the Roman Senate.

"The five elite Roman legions, plus the auxiliary legions, total 300,000 people. It's really a big deal."

Indeed, looking at this number, he knew that Rome had indeed let go this time.

An army of 300,000 people, this is a scale that has never been seen in the entire known world.

You must know that when the two sides fought, there were only a few hundred thousand people in total. Logically speaking, he should be satisfied.

He is still a little uneasy, this is his intuition, and his intuition has saved him countless times.

That's why he stopped his main force here, a small city far away from the opponent.

I just want to sharpen the opponent's spirit. It would be better if I could drag the opponent into winter.

If the opponent comes to attack, he will have a certain advantage by waiting for work.

If the opponent attacks those barbarians, it will even consume the opponent.

In his opinion, the opponent's best choice is to attack the barbarians and then use the barbarians' supplies to survive the winter.

Anyway, no matter what, he won't lose. It just depends on how the opponent's general responds.

At this moment, a messenger rushed over and reported:

"General, the enemy is attacking!"

Hearing this, Hannibal couldn't help but change his expression slightly,

"They're actually here!?"
