Chapter 311 Hannibal, Father of Strategy

So the long-planned war between Catacchi and Rome began, but perhaps no one on both sides expected that the war would last for nearly 10 years. The two sides came and went, and Catacchi failed to destroy Rome.And Rome failed to destroy Gateki, so the two sides continued the tug-of-war for a long time.

But after the appearance of one person, the balance of the entire battle seems to have tilted towards Gataiji.

And it was a young man with fantastic ideas in his head that changed the situation of the battle.

The appearance of this boy sprinkled another layer of frost on the already gloomy Rome.

And the boy's name was Hannibal Hannibal. It was the first time that Hannibal and his father, who were only 9 years old at the time, set foot on the battlefield.Hannibal witnessed his father's battle with the Romans and ended in failure, and that time Gathage also failed. He knew from his relatives and fellow villagers that there was a feud between Gathage and Rome, and he also knew that his father was killed by the Romans. How frustrating it is to be defeated.

So from that time on, he began to hate Rome, and he not only resisted Rome, but even wanted to destroy Rome.

So from then on, he set up a great wish, which is to become a hero who leads the entire Catacia to conquer Rome.

Of course, conquering Rome is not the ultimate goal. His ultimate goal is to prevent Rome from reappearing in the entire region, and then unify the entire Mediterranean.

But just when Rome was about to rule the entire Mediterranean region, the Catagi man who had determined to destroy Rome since he was a child appeared, and he was Hannibal.

If Hannibal wants to destroy Rome, of course he has to take the first step. After all, there is a peace agreement between Rome and Gathage, and there has been no war between Rome and Gathage for so many years, and the suppression of Gathage is also true. It was a lot less than before, so Hannibal himself took the initiative to stand up and instigate the TV war between Rome and Catacchi.

After the Roman yuan and ginseng knew about it, they wanted the king of Catacchi to hand over Hannibal, but the king of Catacchi did not do what Rome said. After all, the grievances between the two countries could not be resolved by signing a peace agreement.

Apparently, the King of Gathage also supported Hannibal's initiative to provoke the war. While preparing for the war, they used rhetoric to avoid the Roman envoys.

But in the end, they were discovered by the Roman Legion that they were preparing for the war, and the king of Catacchi also made a decisive decision to send time to Rome. Since then, the war between Catacchi and Rome began.

At that time, the ancient Roman consul was called Sirius.

Silius was the leader of the four most prominent families in Rome at that time. Many of their families had served as consuls. Seeing the opponents attacking him and showing such disrespect to him, Silius also decided to Start a war.

At this time, Hannibal was in the city of Gatage, and Hannibal did not confront Rome head-on. As the father of world military strategy, Hannibal avoided his edge and wanted to compete with Rome in another way.

After all, the Roman army can already be described as invincible in the Mediterranean region, and their combat literacy and combat experience far exceed those of Catacchi.

Although it was said that Catacchi was able to open 5% with the Roman army before, but after signing a peace treaty with Rome, Rome continued to expand, but Catacchi changed its strategy and changed the main direction of the country to various trades along the Mediterranean coast, so it is well versed Hannibal, who is strategic, must have known that after so many years of peaceful coexistence between Gathage and Rome, the two will fight again. Who has the stronger fighting quality?
It is the Roman army, and the Roman army has improved all weapons, formations, and soldiers' tactics in the course of the war. Before using the frontal hard steel tactics and strategies between Gattaki and Rome, it is obviously the best.

Therefore, Hannibal did not confront Silius head-on. He found another way to select a group of elite soldiers, boldly adopted a detour strategy, went around the Alps in northern Greece, and wanted to insert the heart of ancient Rome from the Alps straight street. Hannibal Why would you want to do this?

In fact, it is very simple, because the position of the Alps in Europe is equal to the Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty, and even stronger than the Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty.

The Alps are a natural barrier.

The area where ancient Rome was located relied on the Alps to resist the enemies from the north. In the northernmost area of ​​the Alps in Rome, only the east and west sides were heavily defended, and there were only less than 300 people in the middle of the Alps. Only a few outposts were set up, because they assumed that no one would cross the Alps at an altitude of 3000 meters.

If someone wants to attack from here, they will most likely be completely submerged under the perennial snow in the Alps.

And Hannibal will do the opposite, seize the enemy's unexpected place to attack.

When Hannibal appeared outside the city of Rome, all the Romans felt incredible and felt a burst of fear in their hearts.

Rome has indeed been expanding in the past ten years, and their combat troops are shooting four weeks to the border. They think that the city of Rome does not need to be guarded, and the troops on the border will wipe out the enemy in the distance of their capital.

Obviously Hannibal didn't save much face for the Romans, when Hannibal appeared in Rome.

These Roman defenders knew that they had been tricked by Hannibal.

It turned out that someone was able to cross the Alps and lead a large number of combat elites to Rome. This was something they never thought of. After that, Rome mobilized troops from 4 weeks to prepare for the attack.

However, Catacchia was only the first step in all plans for Hannibal to go deep into Rome.

His purpose is indeed to destroy the main force of Rome, this trick is called leading the snake out of the hole.

They were already on the Rebia River before, and the large group of people waited for the Roman army to cross the river and give them a blow in the middle.

Looking at the reaction of Hannibal's army to the appearance of ancient Rome, they ran away. The place they ran down was the Rebia River, and the Roman army was obviously dazzled by their arrogance. Is it just so few people?
They wanted to wipe out Gataji in their own counties.

And just as the Catacians passed through Rebia, the Roman Legion followed closely, seeing that the Roman Legion took the bait.

Hannibal also let his army slow down the pace of crossing the river a little, so that the Roman legion could see the hope of catching up, when Hannibal gave a signal to the archers in ambush in the jungle.

The sound of a counterattack massacre began.Afterwards, a large number of Gataji rushed out from the jungle.

They lowered their kayaks into the river, picked up Hannibal's main army, and wrecked the kayaks on the river bank.

Immediately afterwards, a group of archers ran out of the jungle. Their number was basically the same as that of the chasing legion. These legions only carried a short knife and the rest of their weapons were bows and arrows. Their quiver was full of The arrows are designed to stop the Romans and then destroy them.

Obviously, these archers were specially trained by Gataiji's general Hannibal.

These people shoot almost every shot, and every sword can hit the vital point of the Romans. In this battle of the Rebia River, the Catacians shot and killed the Roman Legion, a total of more than 3 people, and the Catacians also suffered losses. , but the number is only 1/10 of the Roman legion.
