Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

"Fusu, I have always been the most relieved of what you are doing, and I hope that when my Great Qin army marches to the Roman defense line and fights against Hannibal's Carthaginian army, I can see firearms and artillery on the battlefield. "

"Speaking of which, was there any special movement between Rome and Carthage during this time?"

Ying Zheng asked.

Regarding the situation on the side of Rome and Carthage, Yingzheng was still very concerned.

After all, the two countries are almost next to each other, and once you capture one of them, you don't need to spend much effort to capture the other.

Moreover, Rome and Carthage are both great powers in the Western Regions, similar to the previous Mauryan Empire, and have a pivotal position in the Western Regions.

As long as Great Qin can occupy them, with their influence in the Western Regions, Great Qin will easily be able to radiate out its own strength and thoughts, which will be of great help to Great Qin's great cause of unifying the Western Regions in the future.

It can even be said that as long as Rome and Carthage are captured, then the cause of Daqin's unification of the Western Regions will be completed for the most part, and the rest is just the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, just take advantage of the trend.

Therefore, especially after hearing about the recent dispute between Carthage and Rome, Yingzheng was particularly concerned about their situation.

"Inform Your Majesty, according to the reports of my Great Qin's spies on both sides, on Hannibal's side, since he led the Carthaginian army to completely capture the Roman defensive line, there has been no next move, so Hannibal's next battle plan is not yet clear. "

"On the Roman side, Scipio did not have any special arrangements, but only sent more spies into the Carthaginian army to find out the news, and in addition, to prevent the remaining main forces of the Roman army, and set up camp near the Roman line, stationed here, presumably to prevent the Carthaginian army from attacking deeper into Rome'. "

And everywhere in the Roman capital is decorated with lights, full of joy, probably in preparation for the wedding between Princess Sophie and His Royal Highness Prince Fusu. "

"Judging from Scipio's decision now, he should have no intention of asking for support from our Great Qin for the time being, because so far, the Roman side has never sent any letter or signal to our Great Qin asking for help, including the Roman mission that is now temporarily residing in Great Qin, and has never mentioned this matter to us. "

Thus, after the great storm caused by the early days of Carthage's occupation of the Roman line, Carthage and Rome are now in a state of calm at the same time, and neither side has made any major moves. "

Chen Ping reported the information on Carthage and Rome.

With that, he also walked out of the pile of ministers and presented to Yingzheng a map detailing the Roman defense line and the entire Roman country.

"It's strange that neither side is moving. "

Ying Zheng put on reading glasses and carefully observed the map in his hand, and suddenly frowned, his face full of doubts.

"It's okay if Hannibal's Carthaginian army didn't move, after all, it had just been a battle, and they might not be familiar with everything about the Roman line, so Hannibal wanted to make his army trim first, and then adapt to the environment of the Roman line, but it was understandable. "

As one of their most important lines of defense, the Roman defense line is now occupied by the Carthaginian army, which means that a large part of the Roman land is directly exposed to the blade of the Carthaginian army, even pointing directly at the Roman capital. "

Scipio should have been well aware that it would be impossible to stop the Carthaginian army from attacking with his remaining Roman army. "

"Since Rome has fallen into such a dangerous situation, it stands to reason that he should have asked our Great Qin for help a long time ago, why has it been delayed until now, and there is no movement?"

Ying Zheng also has some understanding of the combat power of the Roman army, after all, the Great Qin army once fought with hundreds of thousands of Roman troops in order to help the Seleucid Kingdom.

Due to their poor domestic steel forging technology, the weapons and armor of Roman soldiers can only be regarded as an average level among the countries of the world, not to mention compared with the Great Qin army, and even compared with the Carthaginian army.

And Rome is also extremely rough in military strategy, their command of the battle, in front of Meng Tian, Wang Jian and other famous generals is like a primary school student playing home, as long as the slightest change of formation, the Roman army has to be dizzy and unable to find the north.

The reason why Rome was able to fight on multiple fronts in the past even earned a false reputation as an invincible Roman iron horseman. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The first is that the Roman state was financially rich at that time, and the battle basically relied on numerical superiority to crush the past, and the second was because the countries in the Western Regions around Rome were too weak, and the powerful Xiongnu and Mauryan Empire had been wiped out by Fusu at that time, leaving only two or three big cats and kittens, and only Carthage could still see the column.

And this is still Rome in its heyday, today's Rome is troubled internally and externally, because of the New Deal, coupled with the aristocracy changing their ways to squeeze wealth, the country's finances are almost on the verge of collapse, and the external Roman army is also lacking a large amount of material and military spending, and there is no Roman defense line that can be resisted.

It can be said that the current Roman army is completely a dish, but any army equal in number to them can basically knead them wantonly.

And in this case, Scipio seemed so calm.

More than ten days have passed, not only did he not ask for assistance from Daqin, but he also only led the main army of Rome to do it very simply. Piercing protection, and even (good Li Zhao) came to prepare for the wedding of Fusu and Sophie in seven days. []

This is obviously too counterintuitive.

Your Majesty, I think that the reason why Scipio has not asked for help from my Great Qin so far is probably because there have been other changes in the matter, for example, it is possible that the nobles of Rome have begun to lend a helping hand to Scipio. "

"After all, Rome is in a terrible situation now, and after the Roman defense line is occupied, not only is a large area of land about to fall, but even the capital of Rome will be threatened. "

"Although it is rumored that those Roman nobles are selfish and greedy, if Rome has reached the point of life and death, even if it is in the spirit of death, they should have taken action. "

"As long as there is the assistance of this group of Roman nobles, with the private armies of those large and small nobles combined, I am afraid that there are more than the regular armies of Rome!"
