Hearing this news, Hannibal was inevitably a little lost.

Of course, he had thought about these kinds of outcomes. Although the other party chose to confront him head-on, although he was a little surprised, it was not that surprising.

What surprised him was that the other party not only came, but also came so fast!

One must know that he only came to this small town, not long ago.

This shows that after the other party knew his whereabouts, they sent troops over without any hesitation!

He was not afraid to fight them at all, let alone the hundreds of thousands of barbarian cavalry on the grassland.

How arrogant is this, but how confident is it?

Hannibal asked with a complex expression:

"How many are they?

How long will it be? "

The messenger quickly replied:

"Report ahead. The number of people is about 50,000. According to the current speed, we can get here in seven to ten days."

"But there are still a steady stream of people behind them heading here."

"The exact number is still being investigated."

They are also extremely unfamiliar with this eastern country that suddenly appeared. Due to their appearance, the two sides couldn't get too close to find out the situation on the other side.

So I can only look at it from a distance and make an approximate estimate.

Only after the battle can we get specific information.

Hannibal could only nod his head, and then ordered:

"Go and tell the two legion commanders who have already arrived, let them come to my camp to discuss things."

Although he is the supreme commander in name, the actual controllers of each legion are their respective legion leaders.

This is not surprising, and he never thought that Rome would truly hand over these military powers to himself.

If there is such a day, he will use these people to destroy the Roman Senate first, and there is still some hatred between the two sides.

Soon, two legion commanders appeared in the tent with their people, looked at Hannibal with a little pride, and then said:

"What's the matter with us?"

They are the great nobles of Rome, they control an elite army, and their status is higher than that of the kings of ordinary small countries, so they don't need to be too polite to each other.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was indeed outstanding in intelligence, according to their thinking, there would be no need for Carthage's manpower at all.

The mighty Rome has the ability and confidence to defeat all enemies!

Hannibal didn't take these things to heart, he just wanted to protect his family and his country, these were trivial things.

Quickly explaining the situation of the enemy's attack clearly, Hannibal was about to explain his response when he heard one of the legion commanders say with a smile:

"Fifty thousand people?

Their long-distance expedition actually only sent 50,000 people? "

"Leave it to us. Our two legions plus the auxiliary legion have about 50,000 people, enough to teach them a lesson!"

"And let them know that Rome is never prey!"

Looking at the confident army commander, Hannibal's expression changed for a while.

Except for the last time, Rome has never fought one-on-one with the opponent on the frontal battlefield, and they don't know each other well, which is not a good thing.

And even if he disagreed, he couldn't stop the two army chiefs if they wanted to go by themselves.

Now that the opponent is actively asking to play, if you win, hello, me, hello everyone, if you lose, it's what these people asked for, and it has nothing to do with him.

Moreover, it can also give a warning to the legion that will come later, and strengthen his own prestige. No matter how you look at it, it is a good thing for him.

Thinking of this, Hannibal quickly smiled and said:

"The head of the legion is right, this matter will be handed over to the two of you."

"It's just that the head of the legion must be careful. The special weapons in the hands of those Chinese people are like thunder, and most of them are cavalry..."

Hannibal tried his best to talk about things that should be guarded against, but before he finished speaking, the legion commander interrupted him and said:

"Don't worry, it's not the first time we Romans have fought the enemy."

Then he left here directly. He didn't feel that he was too arrogant, or that they had the right to be arrogant.

In all the known world today, Rome is almost invincible,

This is also the source of their confidence.

The Roman elite legions had almost never failed, and their large auxiliary legions were recruited from the places they conquered.

The loser will naturally serve the winner.

They are not afraid of cavalry. Although there are not many Roman legions, they have weapons and tactics to restrain cavalry.

Those barbarian cavalry, in front of them, are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

As for the so-called thunder-like weapon, although they were a little afraid, they were somewhat skeptical.

Thunder is a power that can only be mastered by gods. How could it appear in the hands of mortals?

Even so, after they received the news, they also thought of some countermeasures, just waiting to see the effect on the battlefield.

Even in case of losing the enemy, just send the people from the auxiliary legion up to stop them. For them, most of these people are dead.

In any case, you will never know until you have played a game.

Looking at the back of the two leaving, Hannibal couldn't help but sighed even though he had already made up his mind.

This time, they knew that the alliance army in the world was not strong.

The armies of other city-states are too small to be of much use.

The only thing he can hope for now is that China will not be too powerful, otherwise it will be a huge blow to their known world.

At that moment her daughter's voice came from the tent door,

"Father, what are you sighing for?"

Soon Tennett appeared in front of his eyes, Hannibal couldn't help showing a smile, and said:

"It's nothing, just thinking about going to war with an unfamiliar country, it feels so weird.

What are you doing in the army? "

This time, he took his family with him the whole time, just to prevent anything bad from happening.

Upon hearing the question, Tennett quickly said:

"Father, I have discovered a very special thing in the city these days."

"Although we are going to war with Huaxia, those merchants have always been able to provide goods from China."

"There does not appear to be any impact on the business relationship between the two parties."

Hannibal nodded and said:

"I also know about this matter. They did not trade directly with those people, but through those city-states and barbarians."

"Belongs to the normal trading range~lightnovelpub.net~There is nothing strange about it."

A war between the two sides is a war, and a transaction is a transaction without affecting each other.

This is not a very strange thing for them,

Because the real owners behind the scenes of these Roman caravans are actually mostly Roman nobles.

As long as Huaxia doesn't take the initiative to stop, they won't mind.

Because China's commodity profits are too great nowadays, Tennett quickly replied:

"Father, if this is the case, then why don't we learn about Huaxia through the caravan?"

Hannibal's eyes lit up slightly after hearing this.
