Chapter 142 Why Do You Want to Surrender to China? (Four Thousand)

Two days later, on an open grassland in the north, an army of thousands of people was marching slowly.

It's just that everyone has a look of defeat on their faces, without any excitement at all.

At this time, a cavalryman hurriedly came to the leading general from a distance and said,

"General, we have two days to reach the edge of the swamp."

After hearing the news, the leading general just nodded indifferently, without any joy.

Because when you reach the edge of the swamp, the danger has just begun,

And after passing through the swamp, we still have to fight with that group of fierce Chinese people. Even if we can complete the task,

Destroy those people's belongings,

But no matter whether their mission is successful or not, they will definitely not survive once they wait for the Chinese troops from the front to come back for reinforcements.

So every step forward now is a step closer to death,

How could he be happy again?

Soon night fell, and after the general gave the order, everyone began to prepare for the night.

In the past, the troops were fairly well-disciplined, but this time even the preparation of the camp was extremely perfunctory.

Everyone is about to die, and this place is deserted. It takes a day of fast travel to reach the nearest city.

Why do you have to be so serious about doing things?

The general saw all this and didn't say much. He just summoned the officers above the centurion to start studying the next itinerary.

Facing an enemy like China, of course they must be prepared.

Holding the sheepskin map given by the guide, the general received it quickly after the introduction.

"We can reach the swamp in two days. Although a guide took us in, the guide also said that the swamp is changing every moment."

"Roughly speaking, the direction of the route is correct, but you must be careful when walking. All teams use ropes to hold each other,"

"Let the quartermaster make more abundant food for these two days. Anyway, we can't take away too much in this light attack."

The general gave instructions on what to do next.

After listening, everyone just nodded silently.

Seeing such low morale, the general opened his mouth to say something.

But there is no way to start,

Although they have had the experience of raiding across mountains and ridges before, this time they did not have the motivation to risk their lives.

For Rome?

They were enemies with Rome.

For family?

Their families were as far away as Carthage.

The only thing they could think of was for their commander Hannibal.

But this time Hannibal was the commander-in-chief of Rome and asked them, the Carthaginians, to die for the Romans.

The reason why they obeyed the order was only because of Rome's deterrence. They were here now and could not be the opponent of Rome's elite legions.

To advance is to die, to retreat is to die. He even thought to himself that it would be better to go back directly.

But his own commander Hannibal said that this was a war between civilizations.

If Rome failed, then the entire known world

All will be ruled by China.

And China is a real alien to them.

Thinking about how they treated other barbarians, they knew their own fate.

It was for these reasons that he brought people here.

So in the end the general just waved his hand and said,

"Let's all go and have a good rest."

The other officers glanced at their general and said nothing more.

Everyone has already said what they should say, and there was almost an internal strife at the beginning.

But in the end, he still chose to obey the order.

They respect Hannibal from the bottom of their hearts.

Just when everyone was desperately trying to disperse, a sentry suddenly ran in in a hurry and shouted,

"General, Tennant is here!"

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and the general couldn't help but say,

"Tennett, is she back?"

Everyone knew that Tennette disappeared not long ago, and they tried to find him but failed.

But now that the other party suddenly appears here, of course he will be a little surprised.

The sentry nodded quickly, finally took a breath, and continued,

"Your brother is here too."

The general's face couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy,

He has always been Hannibal's deputy general, but this time he went on an expedition as the main general, and his brother was Hannibal's most trusted confidant.

He thought he would never see each other again, but he quickly raised his eyebrows and said,

"What are they doing here?"

He didn't understand what the other party was doing here at this time.

At this time, a centurion on the side thought of something and said with a bit of surprise,

"Did the general change his decision?"

He could only think of this one thing now, otherwise, if it was just an ordinary thing, there would be no need to send his daughter who he had just found.

The eyes of others also lit up slightly.

The general and deputy general frowned and quickly received it,

"Don't make random guesses and let them in quickly."

The sentry nodded, and soon everyone saw Tennet and his brother appearing in front of them.

Tennette walked into the camp and looked at the familiar faces around him.

These people are all officers above centurion in the army and are the core of the entire army.

There was a hint of joy on his face, this was a good opportunity.

"Tannit, brother, why are you here?"

"Does the commander-in-chief have anything important to give you?"

the general asked quickly.

After understanding the words, Tennette glanced at the confidant next to her, who nodded towards her,

Although this situation is a bit unexpected, it is indeed an excellent opportunity.

So Tennette took a deep breath and said,

"General, my father has the latest order. Everyone should stop and rest immediately, and then wait for the order to attack the Romans' rear city!"

In an instant, the entire camp became extremely quiet.

After a while, the others slowly came to their senses, but still no one spoke.

One by one, you look at me, I look at you,

Finally, the expression on a centurion's face changed from confusion to shock, shock to ecstasy, and he shouted loudly,

"I knew it!"

"How could the commander-in-chief let us die for those damn Romans!"

"It turns out this is his plan! We can come here quietly and ambush him!"

"Give them a hard blow when they're most relaxed!"

Hearing this, other people's faces were slowly filled with ecstasy!

"You're right! I have long disliked those Romans!"

"The commander-in-chief is the commander-in-chief! This time's raid plan is much more clever than the last one!"

Others gave themselves two slaps in excitement,

"I was wrong. I doubted the commander-in-chief had given up on us!"

"Why did you hit me?"

"I was also wrong. I also doubted the commander-in-chief."

"Then hit yourself!"

"It hurts to hit yourself!"

But at this time, the general had some doubts on his face.

After everyone got a little quieter, I couldn't help but ask,

"Why did the commander-in-chief suddenly change his mind?

And never told me. "

He has been with the commander-in-chief for so long, but he is not this kind of person.

Moreover, the commander-in-chief's attitude towards China is still extremely firm.

Although the Carthaginians and Romans are from different countries, they at least have some similarities.

The Chinese are completely different. This is a war between different cultures and races.

Upon hearing the question, Tennant was just thinking about how to explain to his confidant who quickly said,

"My brother, this is the genius of a commander."

"He didn't tell anyone, just to prevent the Romans from knowing the news in advance~"

"He also knows that you won't believe it so easily, so he asked me to protect Tennet and come with him."

After hearing this explanation, others did not have the slightest doubt.

After all, even if his general's brother may be tempted by money or other things,

But they knew about the relationship between Tennant and the commander-in-chief. The other party was the commander-in-chief's most beloved daughter.

There is no way Tennite could betray the commander-in-chief!

So someone said,

"General, Tennant has already come here in person, what else is there to doubt?"

"And it's impossible for your brother to give you false orders to harm you!"

The general was slightly shaken. He didn't believe that his brother would harm him.

But this order came too strange and sudden, so he continued to ask,

"Are you just two of you coming all the way?"

The younger brother returned without any panic,

"This matter is extremely confidential. The commander-in-chief only sent two of us here."

"Is there a warrant or anything?"

The younger brother shook his head and returned again,

"The commander did not give it, lest he would leave evidence to the Romans if he was caught."

Naturally, they had already thought about what to do along the way.

Others nodded, this statement made sense.

The centurion even said directly,

"General, what's your question?

The fact that the commander-in-chief sent Tennite here can already explain it! "

"That's right, General, no need to ask any more questions, we'd better make preparations early."

Others quickly agreed at this time.

The general could only nod his head, but he still said,

"Don't let this news out yet."

Others walked out and returned at the same time,

"General, don't worry!"

Soon everyone left here, and after a while there were waves of yelling from the camp outside.

"Everyone is too lazy to do anything!"

"Look at your tent, can anyone live in it?"

"Where are my sentries outside! Who asked you all to come in and sleep! Do we need any more rules?"

Listening to their parents' words, the sergeants were all a little confused.

Isn’t this what everyone has been doing these days? Sometimes they want to do something, but they are beaten and scolded by their own parents.

Why did I suddenly change like I took medicine today?

Listening to the commotion outside, the expressions of the few people staying in the camp couldn't help but be a little complicated.

The general glanced at the two of them again. In fact, he still didn't completely believe what they said.

Because there is another thing that doesn’t make sense about this order.

What should they do after betraying the Romans?

Facing the Chinese, you will die faster.

unless…

The general's heart moved, he thought of something, and said calmly,

"Tannit, you disappeared at that time. We searched many places but couldn't find you. How did you come back?"

Tennant said quickly,

"I was captured by those barbarians. Later I met a Roman caravan and took the opportunity to escape."

This is a reason that has already been fabricated.

The general nodded, as if he had no doubts, and then continued to ask,

"After you returned, you received the commander's order to come here?"

Tennant nodded and said quickly,

"Yes, General, this matter is very urgent. Please prepare as soon as possible."

"At that time, your brother will need to go back and report the news."

They can only inform the Chinese people in person.

But as soon as Tennett finished speaking, the general drew out his weapon, pointed at Tennett and his brother with a cold face and said,

"Why do you lie?"

"Have you surrendered?

Chinese! "

The younger brother was stunned. He didn't know what was wrong with him.

But it was impossible to admit it at this time, so he took a deep breath and said,

"Brother, what are you talking about!"

The general said calmly,

"Your timings don't match up."

If it is true, as Tennant said, that after being rescued, he would come here directly with the order.

Even if we travel day and night, we can barely catch up.

But if that was the case, with Tennant's normal physical strength, he was lucky not to die on the road, and it was impossible to stand and talk to him.

Upon hearing this, Tennette was stunned.

He didn't expect that a flaw would be revealed here.

Looking at the expressions of the two people, the general knew that he had guessed well, and his expression gradually became indifferent and said,

"Why do you want to surrender to China?"

The only way for them to attack the Romans without any worries was to reach conditions with the Chinese.

Knowing that he had been completely seen through, my brother was about to explain at this time,

Tennette on the side cried and said,

"General, we are definitely no match for the Chinese!"

"Neither are the Romans! Resisting them will only end up here for us all!"

"Obey them and they promise to give us a piece of land to survive!"

Upon hearing this, the general showed a hint of disappointment and said,

"How can you believe the enemy's promises!"

"Someone is coming..."

General, I want to call someone.

The younger brother said indifferently at this time,

"Brother, have you ever seen a weapon that is a hundred times more powerful than the thunder?"

"Have you ever seen a weapon that can carry people into the sky!"

"We all saw it!"

"We are definitely losing this war! Why are we leading our people to die!"

Tennette even cried and said,

"General, I guarantee that what he said is true!"

Then explain everything you saw clearly.

The general was stunned when he heard this. Even after hearing what the two people said, he couldn't imagine what kind of weapons they were.

Can this really be built by humans?

Fortunately, he quickly calmed down and said,

"No matter how powerful the weapons of the Chinese are, they will not be in large numbers. It is not that we have no chance."

"And none of this is a reason for you to surrender."

"Somebody come!"

Following the general's order, two serious-looking guards quickly walked in from outside the camp.

The younger brother couldn't help but close his eyes. He knew that he had no chance.

Tennette even cried and said,

"General, you don't understand, you don't understand, no matter how many people you have, it's useless!"

"Our people will die in vain!"

Her heart had already been shattered by the shock of those weapons.

At this time, two guards had already walked in front of them,

"Lock them up, and let the others come over."

The general said with a hint of exhaustion.

This didn't end well today.

But the two guards didn't move.

The general couldn't help but said,

"What are you still doing?

Didn't you hear me clearly? "

The two guards glanced at each other at this time, pulled out their weapons, stood in front of Tennet, and said with complicated expressions,

"General, we heard you clearly."
