Chapter 135 Rome’s only Chance of Victory

Listening to his companion's words, the other legion commander pursed his lips and said nothing.

Although he experienced a defeat, he still could not accept that the great and glorious Rome was actually defeated by another country in just one war and sued for peace.

As a soldier, there is nothing more humiliating than this.

The somewhat steady legion commander knew what the other party was thinking, patted the other party's shoulder, and said with a bit of heaviness,

"We have to accept this fact until we figure out the weapon."

"The light in Rome will not be reduced at all, but the country called China will shine even brighter."

Hearing this, the other legion commander's expression softened slightly, but he still said,

"I don't think this peace talks will be successful."

"As you said, now they can almost break through our 50,000-strong defense line with 10,000 people. Why should we negotiate for peace?"

"So whether you want to fight or not, there will definitely be a war between us and them."

The legion commander, who was slightly calm after hearing these words, couldn't help but show a look of emotion.

Because the other party is right, and the peace talks must be qualified. The other party can obviously win directly, so why should the peace talks be held?

The legion commander quickly said with a smile,

"I know, my friend, that you are the wisest among us."

"It's just that you get angry too easily."

"You are right, there must be a big war between us and them."

"But you need to talk to the envoys from the Senate about these things. Those old guys may have no ambition to fight."

The two agreed upon their opinions, and their originally depressed mood suddenly became fuller due to the encouragement from both sides.

But soon, the somewhat calm legion commander continued,

"This station is inevitable, but if it remains the same as before, we will still be defeated and must find other ways."

He can now predict that once the two sides fight on a large scale,

The opponent only needs to repeat the previous tactics, use light cavalry to approach them, and then throw the sky thunder.

Just keep repeating it.

Even if they have scorpion crossbows, they can't stop the large-scale cavalry.

At that time, their proud infantry phalanx will collapse like a flock of sheep encountering a wolf.

They had to think of something else.

Another legion commander quickly said,

"I can't think of a good way, but since you said that Hannibal is a wiser person than us, and he is also our commander, this matter should be left to him."

"Otherwise Rome would be defeated and there would be no need for Carthage to exist."

This time, the somewhat calm legion commander did not object.

Indeed, when the two parties united, Rome gave the other side such great rights, so naturally there were means of restraint.

Soon, the two of them walked directly towards Hannibal's camp.

At this time, Hannibal asked his followers with a solemn expression,

"Still no news?"

The attendant shook his head and said,

"We have searched all the previous areas, and apart from the traces left by that battle, we have not found your daughter."

Hearing this, Hannibal couldn't help but sigh slightly, and then waved his hand to let the other party go out.

Of course he was a little disappointed that he didn't find his daughter, but he was also relieved.

As long as the daughter's body is not found, it means that the other party may still be alive.

It's always good to have hope.

At this moment, his tent was opened directly, and two Roman legion commanders appeared in front of him.

"Have you thought of any way to deal with that weapon these days?"

One of the legion commanders asked directly.

Faced with the questioning, Hannibal just shook his head indifferently and returned,

"There's no way to deal with that weapon."

Upon hearing this straightforward answer, the legion commander frowned and was about to get angry.

The slightly calm legion commander on the side stopped his companion and asked,

"Then is there a way to win this war?"

This time Hannibal looked at this aspect and returned calmly,

"have."

Hearing this, the two legion commanders couldn't help but froze for a moment.

The angry-looking legion commander frowned and said,

"what do you mean?

Didn't you say you can't deal with that weapon? "

This is what he just heard with his own ears.

Hannibal continued at this time,

"Weapons are weapons and war is war."

The slightly calm legion commander showed a smile. He understood what the other party meant, so he said,

"You found a way to defeat them!"

At this time, Hannibal walked up to the map drawn on sheepskin and said calmly,

"They have that weapon. It's impossible for us to defeat them head-on."

"But if we defend the city and then send people to attack their rear from here, as long as we can destroy their supplies."

"If they go on a long expedition, they will inevitably retreat."

"If peace talks are held at that time, the possibility of success will be greatly increased."

The slightly calm legion commander glanced at the other party in surprise.

It seems that the other party thinks the same as them. Even if they negotiate peace, they must win first.

Just looking at the raid route pointed by Hannibal, he couldn't help but frown.

"This area is swampy and it is impossible to pass."

The scary thing about swamps is that you can get trapped anywhere.

It is impossible for the army to pass through.

Hannibal showed a smile at this time and said,

"At the beginning, you also thought that it was impossible for me to lead people over the mountains and attack Rome."

Hearing this, the faces of the two legion commanders couldn't help but heat up. The other party led a group of soldiers who were not considered elites, crossed the mountains and ridges, and directly raided the Roman mainland.

Rome nearly fell.

Fortunately, they took the lead and forced Carthage to sue for peace.

Hannibal continued,

"It's actually passable. In the winter, it freezes over and you can walk on it."

"Someone took the opportunity at that time to find a path that is still barely passable now. It will indeed be dangerous, but this is Rome's only chance to win."

"I just need to keep the army passing through here, and when we are fighting with the other side, we will raid the other side and destroy their supplies."

"Rome can win this war."

The two legion commanders looked at the map in front of them with complicated expressions.

They knew that if someone could really sneak into the opponent's back, victory would be within reach.

But what can be foreseen is that no matter who is in the past, they will face the most brutal counterattack.

No one can guarantee whether these people can come back.

At this time, the regiment commander who had been frowning suddenly showed a smile, and then said to Hannibal,

"I remember that Carthage happened to send an army here this time, and they were all your former subordinates."

"They will obey your orders, and this task will be left to you."

Hearing this, Hannibal's expression changed slightly.
