Chapter 145 A Tactic Called Blitzkrieg!

The Roman soldiers quickly went down to prepare,

Hannibal's expression did not relax at all.

It's not difficult for him to understand this matter. After all, those people can throw weapons like thunder with their hands.

Then naturally, you can also use bows and crossbows to bring the sky thunder,

In fact, according to the reports reported by the people below, not many people were actually directly killed or injured.

But the opponent can attack from a distance without any scruples.

They can only passively endure it, which is a huge blow to morale!

The elite Roman legionnaires would feel terrified when they saw this scene.

Even he was a little shaken at that moment, but of course he recovered quickly.

He now understands why the other party has such confidence that hundreds of thousands of people will go on a long expedition and dare to take the initiative to besiege the city!

But he is not without means of resistance. His people have already prepared a catapult. This thing has an extremely long range and is extremely powerful.

It's just that the accuracy is completely insufficient.

It was originally intended to be used to block enemy support routes when the Chinese infantry attacked the city collectively.

In this way, accuracy doesn't matter much.

Now it can only be exposed in advance. In any case, as long as the catapult can restrain the opponent's crossbows, it is worth it.

After all, there is not much difference in the level of infantry between the two sides.

It is even said that the elite Roman legions are stronger than those ordinary Chinese.

Coupled with the city wall as a support, Rome still has a high chance of victory in this war.

Moreover, counting the time now, his people should already be preparing to cross the swamp,

All of these can increase their chances of victory.

At this moment, a burst of cheers suddenly erupted from the city wall,

When Hannibal came back to his senses, he knew that it was the Roman cavalry dispatched.

Their plan was to use Roman cavalry to entangle the crossbows, and then use catapults to cover the entire area.

After all, if no one bothers, then after the first round of catapults,

The other party is not a fool and will definitely retreat quickly.

After that, it would be extremely difficult for the catapult to kill.

Of course, none of the five hundred cavalry will come back.

Their horses will also carry oil. After death, they only need to put a fireball in the catapult.

It can turn that area into a sea of ​​​​fire!

Soon, he also remembered the shouts of killing outside the city. Hannibal looked up and saw,

I saw that five hundred Roman cavalry had rushed into the Chinese camp, and the two sides were entangled.

The crossbows were not affected too much, did not retreat, and continued to shoot.

Hannibal was stunned for a moment, then understood, and couldn't help but sneered,

"These Chinese people are really arrogant."

The opponent looked down upon the Roman cavalry at all and felt that the infantry camp in front would definitely be able to stop them.

But I have to say that the other party really has such strength.

The five hundred elite Roman cavalry were now trapped in a tight siege. They could only kill the surrounding enemies in vain, but could not go any further.

Of course, a lot of Chinese infantry were gathered invisibly, which also made the area around those crossbows less spacious.

Hannibal took a deep breath. This was already a good opportunity.

He waved his hand directly to the back, and the messengers who had already been prepared rushed back.

Hannibal also looked at the Chinese camp again.

At this time in the Chinese camp, Han Xin did not even look at the infantry.

Instead, he observed his surroundings closely,

Of course he could see that these cavalrymen on the other side were used to confuse him.

This routine is all leftover from his play.

The real threat must lie elsewhere.

But where exactly it was, he couldn't make a judgment for a while. They got too little information.

At this moment, a Qin soldier came over in a hurry and reported,

"General, those enemy cavalry carry a lot of fuel on them."

"Oil?"

Han Xin frowned slightly. The purpose of bringing oil was naturally to attack with fire.

But so many cavalrymen died, but no one directly ignited the fuel.

So…

Thinking of this, Han Xinxin was moved and he already had a guess.

Speaking quickly,

"Let the engineering team go up and cover it with sand, and then let our people disperse and retreat!"

The Qin Army has had a specialized engineering team since a long time ago.

These people are usually responsible for building camps and digging traps.

Nowadays, covering oil-bearing areas with sand and soil can greatly hinder combustion. This is based on experience.

And since the other party has such an arrangement, there must be ways to cause trouble.

In other words, they are actually still within the opponent's range.

Naturally, it would be safer to retreat further.

Upon hearing the order, the Qin army responded almost immediately and began to retreat in an orderly manner, followed closely by the Huns.

The Chu army was not that fast. They were already far enough away, and they wanted to eat the opponent's five hundred cavalry no matter what.

Besides, the relationship between the Chu army and the Qin army is one of alliance, not submission.

When Xiang Zhuang was thinking about whether to attack again, suddenly a huge black shadow fell from the sky with a gust of wind and fell towards him.

The habit he had developed through years of martial arts training and battlefields meant that before he could react, his body had already made a decision.

He jumped off the horse and went to the side.

At this time, Xiang Zhuang looked to the side in shock, and found that his horse and several personal guards beside him had turned into a mass of flesh and blood.

A polished stone ball that was barely round made a hole in the ground.

At this time, the wailing sounds around him continued, and Xiang Zhuang looked up to the sky in disbelief.

I discovered that many small black dots in the sky were gradually getting bigger and coming at a rapid speed!

"Retreat! Retreat!"

At this time, Xiang Zhuang shouted loudly!

But before he could give the order, the personal guard next to him took him away directly!

Their duty is to ensure that Xiang Zhuang lives.

Fortunately, this time, for safety reasons, their prince was not in front.

Under the almost unreasonable bombardment of catapults,

The originally solid Chinese front was now loosened, and everyone was moving towards the rear.

When the Roman soldiers on the city wall saw this scene, they burst into cheers!

Finally let the other party taste this feeling!

Hannibal was not too happy at this time, because the catapult did not destroy many crossbows.

For him, since his goal has not been achieved, there is naturally nothing to be happy about.

Moreover, after the catapult is exposed, the opponent will definitely take precautions. It will be difficult to achieve such lethality.

Not to mention that they don’t have many catapults.

It costs a lot to cause trouble. Otherwise, with such power, they would build hundreds of catapults no matter where they hit.

Just throw it all the way, there are still material restrictions.

At this moment, a soldier hurried over and said,

"General, our connection with the other two cities has been blocked by the enemy."

Hearing the news, Hannibal was not too surprised. With so many cavalry on the other side, it would be strange not to block them.

I was about to activate the previously decided method of contacting through smoke.

Suddenly he looked at the retreating Chinese people, his eyes lit up slightly,

He found that although these Chinese people were retreating, their behavior was obviously different.

The middle part is the Chinese people with bows and crossbows.

We reacted very early and retreated directly with our people.

When these people retreated, the team was extremely neat and orderly. At first glance, they looked like the best among the best.

The Chinese who suppressed them on horseback with bows and arrows retreated like a gust of wind.

But there is no order.

The last group of Chinese people who are mainly responsible for the project are powerful, but they don't seem to be very smart.

These people are obviously divided into three parts.

The clothes were also different. He originally thought they were just like Rome, divided into elite legions and auxiliary legions, etc.

It seems different now, Hannibal couldn't help but murmured to himself,

"These Chinese people don't seem to be together."

Hannibal's eyes slowly lit up when he thought of this.

If these people are not together, then there are many things that can be targeted,

Now that the catapult has been exposed, the opponent will not use this dense formation again.

They can no longer threaten each other's crossbows,

But now he has another way,

Soon, Hannibal gave the order,

"Let everyone's attacks from now on be focused on the Chinese who are attacking the city, and don't worry about other people."

"Send a message to the two cities in the rear and concentrate our forces to attack the enemies on one side."

Since these people are not together, he only needs to concentrate his forces and attack one of them.

Then the other party will naturally have conflicts!

In this way, he can not only concentrate superior forces, but also divide the opponent internally.

If we attack from both sides at the same time, it will not be difficult to defend the city!

At this time, the legion commander on the side couldn't help but show a look of admiration when he heard Hannibal's words.

They can naturally see the other party's intention of making such an arrangement.

Even if you don't like the other person,

But this kind of command convinced them.

The slightly calm legion commander couldn't help but said with a complicated expression,

"I recently heard someone else say that this saying is spread across the prairie. It is the highest appreciation for a person's wisdom."

"Commander, your wisdom is higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea."

"This time, the Chinese people will also be defeated in front of you."

He and his companions sent out troops to attack, but were defeated directly.

Now China's attack, with the advantage of weapons, was repelled by Hannibal in a short time.

The gap between the two sides is clear at a glance.

It's a pity that the other party is not Roman.

The slightly irritable legion commander said directly,

"You are better than me."

After hearing the compliments from the two men, Hannibal just forced a smile.

He knew that today's battle had just begun.

The truly brutal fight is yet to come.

This time the two sides will not be able to tell the winner unless a river of blood is shed.

So he said,

"Thank you for your hard work, please continue to prepare."

After saying that, he left here and went to check other places.

After Hannibal left, the two legion commanders looked at each other, and the slightly calm legion commander quickly said,

"I really hope he didn't betray us."

The slightly irritable legion commander also nodded, but still said,

"It's all uncertain now. We'll know after seeing it."

All he cares about is results.

Hannibal led them to victory, so naturally everything was fine.

If you lose, whether there is betrayal or not, the result is the same.

But he quickly showed a smile and said,

"Hmph, I finally made those Chinese people bleed!"

"When we counterattack, I will make these Chinese people regret coming here!"

In the following time, Huaxia did not launch another attack, but slowly retreated into the camp.

After Hannibal completed his inspection, he also returned to his residence.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his daughter coming to greet him, and asked worriedly,

"Father, are you okay?"

Seeing his daughter's concerned look, Hannibal also felt warm in his heart and returned with a smile,

"It's okay. Although those Chinese weapons are powerful, my father has ways to deal with them."

After briefly explaining the situation, Hannibal changed the subject. He didn't want the other party to worry.

"You just have a good rest here. Father is here and everything will be fine."

After comforting Tennant, Hannibal left again. He still had something to do.

Looking at his father who was always protecting him, Tennette felt a little sad.

She knew that before the Chinese people used their strength at all, Rome would almost be unable to hold on.

They will definitely lose this war. In this case...

Tennette took out a parchment map, which was a city defense map she found in her father's room.

"Father, let your daughter protect you this time.

"

Then, he left here.

At this time, within the Chinese camp,

Han Xin looked at the stone sent by the Chu army. It was naturally covered in blood and flesh, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

He really didn't expect that these Romans actually had such weapons.

Looking at the height just now, it can even pose a threat to Feitian Mo Lantern.

Fortunately they found out in advance.

This stone was naturally Xiang Zhuang's protest against him. The other party knew that the Qin army did not use its full strength, and the Chu army indeed suffered heavy losses today.

But he didn't care that much. It was impossible to avoid any casualties in a big battle.

At this time, a Qin army hurried over and reported,

"General, we lost two crossbow rockets and suffered seven casualties."

Han Xin nodded, the loss was barely bearable.

At this moment, a Qin soldier hurriedly came over and reported,

"General, there is news from the Han Kingdom that the road they were on today was attacked by enemy troops, and the two sides are currently fighting."

.

Han Xin was not surprised at all. Since the other party had the thunder in hand, he would not suffer any loss. He quickly asked,

"How about the right side?"

Qin Jun shook his head and returned,

"Not a single piece of news."

Hearing this, Han Xin raised his eyebrows. He looked at the stone sent by Chu Jun again, and his heart moved slightly.

I couldn't help but say,

"It's interesting. This person is quite powerful."

The other party actually used the method of attacking the heart first.

He actually admired this opponent a little, because coupled with the fact that the opponent was originally planning to attack their rear,

The opponent's methods can be described as intersecting internal and external, attacking from both front and back.

To be able to make such an arrangement in such a short period of time,

I have to say that he is an extremely excellent commander.

And now he has no news about those stone-throwing weapons. If he attacks rashly, it is likely to increase the losses.

For the first time, Han Xin frowned slightly.

At this moment, Zhao Hao suddenly appeared at the door with an excited face. After entering the barrier, he said excitedly,

"General Han, you are right, Tennet and the others have sent a message!"

"It's a city defense map!"

Han Xin couldn't help but smile. With the city defense map, everything would be different. He said,

"Your Highness, I have heard of a method of warfare called blitzkrieg from Your Majesty before!"
