Old Sword Master

But in this urban conflict, such a capable force is still enough to make a final decision.

Of course, Hannibal also arranged a final word. On the central square, a dozen cavalry suddenly appeared, among them an elephant carrying a person was guarding!

“Sifax?” Scipio was a little unsure of who was riding the elephant.

“It’s Sifax.” A person who had been lurking in Carthage for several years confirmed that this was Sifax, the former king of Numidia who lost the throne because of his support for Hannibal.

He has been hiding in Tibet for several years, but this time he also rushed to participate in Hannibal’s major event.

“Haha, I really want to thank Hannibal for bringing out the enemies of the Roman Republic.” Scipio was still so calm, as if the tenacious and brave King Numidia was just a dead man, and then He picked up the big jug in front of him and drank all the half-person-height hip flask. A faint purple liquid dripped from his neck. After receiving this little purple liquid, it was only ordinary white clothes that suddenly became the deepest and deepest. The thick purple is completely in line with the identity of Scipio, and then he suddenly raised his voice, “Those who don’t get in the way don’t care, our goal is Hannibal! Those who get in the way must die!”

Following the angry roar of Scipio, he immediately led the Roman soldiers along the newly renovated avenue between the central square and the temple.

…

“Lord Wood, Lord Wood? What are you doing?”

In the end, Lev and Kusuka’s boat was shot by the Romans and leaned on the boat where Wood was. They found Wood under the deck. He and Abu were soaking Lady Debbie into a large barrel that was probably used to hold wine in.

And the ground is full of broken lenses.

The two of them had never understood what Wood meant by carrying a mirror on his back, and now they were even more confused.

“You are here just right.” Wood was overjoyed when he saw the two of them. “Quickly, have you brought the tranquilizer? Give it to me.”

Lady Debbie was blowing fiercely in front of him, and he really couldn’t move at all. It was a mess if he gave Wood’s array a little bit of excitement, making the entire middle-level cabin a mess.

“This is just because the ship was shot by a Roman crossbow arrow, so the array is a bit broken.” Lady Debbie explained with difficulty.

“And refined gold and silver, give it to me.” Wood can only rearrange the array.

The storm followers in Utica have to wait a while.

Chapter 400 57-Smashing the Double Temple (Part 1)

The double temple is the main battlefield of Utica, but the death battle of the Carthaginians is not limited to the temple.

On the central square of Utica, veterans and citizens supporting Hannibal are fighting with the Elder’s Council of Carthage and the Utica defense forces.

In terms of the number of people, the former is less, but in terms of quality, they are about the same. Although Hannibal’s veterans have strong combat effectiveness, most of them are elderly.

In this undernourished world, those who are slightly stronger are trained by destroying their bodies.

It is considered longevity to live to 4 50 years old. Many of the veterans who followed Hannibal across the Alps fought the entire field of the Second Rome-Carthage War.

There are more than 40 young people brought from Spain. At this time, they can’t do much. Instead, they are 15-16 years old. Many of the Gauls who were coaxed out of the tribe by Hannibal are still mature. .

“Haha, Old Xiaoka, know that you are old.”

“Come, come, you get out, let me come.”

“Follow you! When I followed Hannibal to kill the Roman dog, did you pay for it, come and die?”

At this time, Schabona, who was on the front line, was the youngest among all the veterans, and he was still so calm with his big axe.

He was only 9 years old when he took the axe he just made and followed Hannibal’s army with his big brother and father.

While crossing the Alps, despite the help of his father and brother, he almost died. This was the most dangerous time. Since then, he has not experienced any life-threatening test in the next 20 years.

The axe was changed several times, from the inferior stone to the superior steel essence, all of them were worn by the heads of the Romans.

Like most of his fellow Gauls, he fought with Hannibal for nearly 20 years, and once lost Zama. That time he lost many of his fellow citizens, among which is included his big brother, his Father died in Italy earlier, not on the battlefield but on the belly of a Roman woman. For a Gaul barbarian, this is a rare fate, so there is nothing to complain about, even the big brother, follow Han Nibal has enjoyed a blessing for more than ten years, and he should have good wine, good meat, and good women.

So he has no complaints about Hannibal.

The Gauls who fought all over the field were all settled by Hannibal in the Carthage Republic as much as possible. Although they lost a lot of territory, they lost a lot of population due to the war with the Romans, so the Carthaginians did not dislike them. Veterans, especially ladies who have lost their husbands.

These Gauls were guided by pro-Hannibal elders, and most of them settled smoothly with the help of their comrades-in-arms. These years, marrying wives and having children have gone well.

As soon as Lev called, these Gauls moved towards Utica, and they received a lot of help from the Carthaginians along the way, and some Carthaginian veterans also gathered.

The Carthaginians are still the same, and it’s a little bit like asking them to work hard by themselves, but there are Gauls rushing in front, and there are still many who are willing to pay and contribute.

Just such a unit that had fallen apart for more than ten years and had no training at all, but successfully suppressed the Elder’s Council and Utica, which had more than five times the number of troops in Utica.

Of course, this is also inseparable from Hannibal’s command and mobilization, especially when the Numidian cavalry supporting them appeared on the street, which made Schabona very happy.

From the time he crossed the Alps, he liked these dark-skinned, long-toothed partners. One of the Numidians once gave him the (乳rǔ) juice from his mount. Without that extra food, he might He died in the cold mountain road.

Later, in the more than ten years of their stay in the Apennines, they worked very happily with the Numidia guys every time. The cavalry of these black continents were stronger than their opponents. The Romans did not have the tradition of using cavalry. They were nomads from the east. The cavalry hired in China is not an opponent of these Numidians.

However, the horses are getting older faster than people, and the horses promised by Carthaginae have never arrived. There is no place to supplement horses in Rome.

The Romans who controlled the Northern Passage were able to continuously organize new auxiliary cavalry. Although they were not substantially enhanced, they were gradually stronger than the weaker Numidian cavalry. Hannibal’s regiment was lost. The superiority of cavalry also lost the ability to destroy the main force of the Romans in the field. In the disastrous Battle of Zama, Great Scipio controlled the kingdom of Numidia and gained decisive cavalry superiority, which ultimately led to Hannibal’s life. The only flaw in martial arts.

Fortunately, the Numidian cavalry came back this time. It is said that even the king has come, and they don’t know where the elephant is hiding.

However, the problem is that some nobles in the city also have Numidian guards. These people are basically supporters of the current King of Numidia and have no contact with Hannibal at all. This is the focus of Hannibal’s attack.
