Chapter 539 The Time Hannibal Was Waiting For Has Come
The danger of continuing to lurk is self-evident.
Not only is there a risk of being discovered at all times, but when there is a major change in the Roman army, in order to be able to transmit this information back immediately, they must launch special flares.
This kind of signal flare is evolved from the fireworks and firecrackers in Daqin. After special processing and production, when the signal flare is fired, it will emit a dazzling light, and it will also be accompanied by a loud sound.
Even if it is several kilometers away, it can be observed clearly.
However, if the reconnaissance team did this, in addition to being able to deliver news to the Carthaginian army, it would also be discovered by the Roman garrison and then fall into the hands of the enemy.
What awaits them next is very likely to be death, or even the painful torture that is worse than death!
In comparison, the security of transmitting information is much greater than continuing to lurk.
However, conveying information is a matter that needs to be concealed extremely. If there are too many people, the target will be too big, and there may be a situation where each other is dragged down.
Therefore, it is doomed that only one person can go there, and the others have to stay where they are, taking huge risks.
The young soldier was well aware of this.
"Captain, it's better for you to pass the news to General Hannibal. My experience is not as experienced as you veterans, and my body is not as strong as yours. It is safer for you to pass the news. Let me stay here and continue to lurk."
This is naturally an excuse for young soldiers.
It's just to take on this dangerous task by myself and leave the safety to other teammates.
"This is my order. As a soldier, your greatest duty is to carry out the order!"
The captain of the reconnaissance team scolded the young soldier.
"These of us die as soon as we die. Anyway, we have no worries at home and we are not too young. This life is probably over."
"But you are different. You are much younger than us, and you still have a good time to experience. You are the future of our Carthage!"
Having said that, the captain of the reconnaissance team and other team members all looked at the young soldier with eager anticipation in their eyes.
The young soldier suddenly felt the weight of the mission.
"Yes!"
In the end, with complex and sad emotions, he carefully embarked on the journey of delivering information.
The remaining soldiers in this scout team looked at the Roman garrison not far away, their eyes became extremely firm, and they looked at death as if they were home.
Under the eager expectation of the soldiers, news about the Roman garrison soon reached the ears of the Carthaginian army Hannibal.
"Very good! After trying to hide it for so long, the Roman army finally showed a relaxed attitude!"
After getting the news, Hannibal looked very excited.
Ever since he decided to fight Rome to the death, Hannibal had been taking advantage of what the Romans suspected about him.
Hannibal knew that those Romans would think that after hearing about the marriage between Rome and Great Qin, and the marriage partner was the legendary Great Qin Prince, he would inevitably lead his army to retreat because he was afraid of Great Qin's powerful military strength.
And Hannibal took this opportunity to deliberately create the illusion that their Carthaginian army was about to withdraw from the line of defense, intending to paralyze the Roman army and make them relax their vigilance and be negligent.
It's just that during this period of time, the Roman army has been in a state of looseness on the outside and tightness on the inside. The long wait made Hannibal's patience run out.
Moreover, since the nobles of Carthage ordered him to withdraw their troops, they would ask about the time for the retreat of the army from time to time.
Seeing that there seemed to be no movement from the Carthage army, he urged him several times.
In order not to be discovered by the Carthaginian nobles, thereby disrupting his plan to assault the Roman army, Hannibal had to find various excuses to prevaricate the Carthaginian nobles while constantly bewildering the Roman army.
This annoyed Hannibal.
Especially after learning about the rapid changes in Daqin through the Daqin Daily and various information channels, Hannibal felt even more restless.
After all, after raiding the Roman army, his next enemy is likely to be Da Qin!
This is an enemy thousands of times stronger than Rome, how should he deal with it?
Daqin is too powerful, he can't see any hope of victory.
Hannibal could only force himself not to think about it, and concentrate on the Roman army.
Fortunately, after so many days of irritability and depression, Hannibal and the Carthaginian army finally ushered in the dawn of hope.
They waited for an unprecedented opportunity.
A chance to conquer Rome in one fell swoop.
"Pass my order, all troops assemble immediately!"
Hannibal's slightly excited roar resounded through the three armies at the fastest speed.
In just a moment, the main force that was originally stationed in various places, including a small part of the main force sent out by Hannibal to confuse the opponent, all gathered in front of Hannibal.
These people are a little thin because the nobles of Carthage cut off the supplies from the front line.
But there was a hint of fanaticism in their eyes at the moment, and all the Carthage soldiers looked extremely excited.
Because they know that the opportunity has come.
"Your Excellency, all the ministries have assembled, and no one is absent. Please issue an order!"
After counting the team, the adjutant reported loudly to Hannibal.
"very good."
After Hannibal nodded, he came to the front of the line.
"Soldiers, the target of our attack this time is the main force of Rome a kilometer away."
"They once invaded my territory of Carthage, burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes in our territory!"
"At this moment, they are all sleeping in their own dreams. Now I will take you to invade the Roman territory, take you to avenge your shame, and make these damn Romans pay the price!"
Hannibal's voice was powerful, and his sentences were penetrating and powerful.
The soldiers below were also very excited.
After fighting the Roman army for so many years, they all watched their comrades who lived with them die tragically under the butcher knife of Roman soldiers.
Some veterans even watched the scenes of the Carthaginian people being persecuted for no reason after the Romans invaded the border. Countless Carthaginian civilians were destroyed.
This made them all have a deep blood feud with the Roman army. Now that they have finally waited for the opportunity to take revenge, how can the soldiers not be excited when they can personally kill the enemy with blood.
If it weren't for the fact that they were making a surprise attack this time, and they were afraid that they would wake up the enemy, they might have shouted excitedly.
