Chapter 590 Ying Yu's Confidence
Of course, Ying Yu's biggest confidence is the heavy artillery.
Now heavy artillery has officially entered the army and is put into use. Even after hundreds or even thousands of years, this terrifying weapon is still regarded as a big killer. The destructive power it can cause in war is far greater than that of Ying Yu was much stronger when he demonstrated in the practice field that time.
After all, the artillery produced at that time was only produced by the Engineering Academy based on the drawings given by Ying Yu. Many details were not optimized, and the raw materials used were only bronze.
This kind of artillery can only be regarded as a sample at best, and its power is at most only one-fifth of the genuine product.
But even so, the power of the heavy artillery still shocked the famous generals like Wang Jian and Wang Ben, who were usually in front of the mountain collapse and remained unchanged, which showed its power.
The national strength of the Great Qin was prosperous and prosperous, and the Great Qin army was such an invincible army. In addition, there was a prince like Ying Yu who had a system and could create all kinds of miracles at any time.
Under such circumstances, it is inevitable for Daqin to complete the great cause of unifying the world, and it is only a matter of time.
"Having this heavy artillery in the army has indeed greatly improved the combat effectiveness, but now even the Western Regions have not been fully annexed, it is still too early to talk about the unification of the world."
"However, since we've come to this point, it's been a while since Hannibal occupied the Roman defense line. Is there any new movement on their side?"
Ying Zheng suddenly thought of this.
After all, if Great Qin wanted to unify the Western Regions and incorporate the entire Western Regions into the territory of Great Qin, Rome and Carthage were the biggest obstacles in front of it.
It can be said that as long as the Great Qin annexed the two countries of Rome and Carthage, more than half of the unification of the Western Regions would be successful, and the other small countries in the Western Regions could basically be ignored.
It only needs to use Rome and Carthage as a springboard to spread the power and majesty of the Great Qin, and the unification of the Western Regions will naturally come naturally.
"Your Majesty, according to the report from my Daqin spies in Rome, just a few days ago, Hannibal led an army of 20 and launched an attack on Rome."
"The Roman side was already prepared. Under Scipio's arrangement, relying on the city's home field advantage, they gained a huge advantage in the early stage, and almost ate up Carthage's [-] vanguard army."
"However, when everyone thought that Rome was sure to win, there was a reversal on the battlefield.
It turned out that the 5 Carthaginian vanguard troops were just bait. Hannibal used the [-] people to successfully attract the attention of the high-level Roman party, while he himself led the [-] elite troops to go around quietly. In the enemy's rear, a move was made to the main Roman army.
After the First World War, the main force of Rome lost more than half, and now I am afraid that it is no longer able to compete with Hannibal. "
Meng Yi was holding a volume of paperwork in his hand to report.
After finishing speaking, he immediately handed over the document respectfully to Ying Zheng, which recorded in detail the casualties of the Roman and Carthaginian armies after the battle.
At the same time, there is also a situation analysis map, which shows at a glance the distribution of the forces of the Roman army and the Carthaginian army.
Ying Zheng put on his special presbyopic glasses and browsed through the documents and situation analysis diagrams in detail.
Obviously, the Carthaginian army led by Hannibal has gained a huge advantage.
Without the intervention of a third-party force, such as the rescue army from the Great Qin Dynasty, or the private army of the Roman nobles, I am afraid that it would not take long for Hannibal to fight all the way to the Roman capital.
It is even possible to destroy Rome directly.
"In addition, a letter came from Scipio early this morning, which means that the situation in Rome is very critical now, and the Carthaginian army is pressing every step of the way. I hope that our Daqin can read the love of each other as a country of marriage. Come on, I will send troops to support."
Meng Yi relayed to Ying Zheng what was written in Scipio's letter.
Because the situation in Rome is too urgent, and the city of Xianyang in the Great Qin Dynasty is too far away from Rome, in order not to delay the fighter plane, Scipio's letter of appeal for help was not sent to Xianyang City, but was directly handed over to the border defense line closest to Rome. , which is the jurisdiction of Mengtian.
"It seems that Scipio was exhausted by the new policies he promulgated. He couldn't even see Hannibal's obvious strategy."
"However, this is also a good thing. If the Roman army of Scipio had not been crushed by Hannibal, or even blocked the attack of the Carthaginian army, Scipio would probably not have asked for help from the Great Qin."
Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, although the main force of Rome has suffered heavy losses, the private army of the nobles in Rome is also a force that cannot be ignored.
The minister heard that the nobles in Rome have been standing still to preserve their strength. Although their private army is not as good as the regular army, they are large in number and have similar combat power. "
"There is still such a powerful military force in Rome, so why doesn't Scipio use it, and instead asks us, Great Qin, for help. This is unreasonable. There may be some traps. Your Majesty must guard against it."
Seeing that Ying Zheng was planning to send troops, Yao Jia quickly stood up and reminded him.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the ministers in the Qilin Palace changed, and at the same time, doubts arose in their hearts.
And Ying Zheng and Ying Yu father and son looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
"Master Yao, you don't know about this."
"Although the private troops of the Roman nobles say that they have good military literacy and excellent combat effectiveness, it is basically difficult for them to unite because they belong to the major nobles."
"After all, there are also various suspicions and even hatred between the nobles, so let alone cooperate with the Roman government army of Scipio, who has always been at odds with the nobles."
"Even if they are forcibly blended together like this, they look powerful, but in fact they seem to be far from each other. When fighting, they are simply stragglers and scattered soldiers. It is difficult to form a real combat power."
"Besides, Mr. Yao, what do you think you can think of, as the highest consul in Rome, would Scipio not think of it?"
"If the noble private army could come to support, even if it is difficult to integrate with each other, Scipio would have done so long ago."
"It's just that his family is aware of their own affairs. With the selfish character of those Roman nobles, they saw that the government army under Scipio was defeated by the Carthaginian army. I hope that Scipio will fall because of this, so that they can regain their noble rights, how could they send their own private army to support them."
Meng Tian came out and explained.
