Chapter 229 Deng Ai: Will the enemy surrender once we cross the mountain?

【You are talking nonsense! 】

[Your guess is too far-fetched! ]

[We can temporarily give up Spain and Greece, but we cannot give up Sicily. We must focus on the south.]

[Yes, without Sicily, we will starve to death. ]

Amidst the debate, a calmer voice was heard.

[No, your information and guesses are all wrong! ]

【Hannibal will not come from the south or the east.】

[My mercenaries in Gaul reported to me that Hannibal has formed an alliance with the Gallic tribes in the Po River area.]

[He planned to go through southern Gaul and bypass Marseille.]

【He led his army into mainland Italy.】

【We must focus on defending the mountain pass. 】

As this calm elder was telling the story.

The sky screen also gives a topographical view of northern Italy.

The northern region of Italy can be seen, wrapped in the snow-capped Alps.

There is only one very narrow and difficult path.

Thanks to the display of the game screen.

Compared with conventional maps, the game screen intuitively reflects the majesty of the Alps.

Plus the mountains covered with snow.

It shows very intuitively that the Alps is a steep snowy mountain range.

It is steep and runs across northern Italy.

Ancient people knew that a few hunters could walk on such a small path in the huge snow-capped mountains.

But if you want to lead a large army, it is almost impossible!

Three Kingdoms.

Even Deng Ai, who was preparing to attack Shu at this time, saw the rough terrain of the northern Alps region.

He also shook his head and stammered:
"Remember, remember this Alps? During World War II, it was the border mountain range between Germany... Germany and Italy, right?"

"A mountain range can...can become the dividing line between different countries. There is a reason for this."

"Obviously, the Alps are not easy to travel in."

"Attacking a country protected by mountains, taking the mountain roads, and...attacking them by surprise, this is indeed a good choice."

"But in reality... the operation is too difficult."

"If we lead an army of 100,000 through a mountainous road, if we don't operate it properly, the whole army could be...annihilated!"

"The key is to look at the Alps displayed on the sky screen."

"This mountain range is not only huge, but also snowy!"

"That will make it even harder to go."

"I wonder how strong the commander named Hannibal is?"

"If he is indeed a very capable general, perhaps he could try to walk through the Alps in the summer when the snow line is higher?"

But after proposing this idea.

Deng Ai immediately shook his head again.

"no!"

"Leading a large army across the snow-capped mountains to attack the enemy's base camp, this... this is really too risky."

“If after we climb over the mountain, our opponent turns out to be a very weak country, we might still give it a try.”

"But it can be seen that the Rome on the Italian peninsula on the sky should be a very powerful country."

"Carthage and Rome are gearing up for a decisive battle under fair conditions, and it's hard to say who will win or lose."

"Not to mention leading a lone army on a long expedition of thousands of miles, crossing a high and mighty snow-capped mountain area."

"Even if we succeed in crossing the mountain, I'm afraid that more than half of our troops will be lost along the way!"

"Are you going to attack the headquarters of a powerful country with such a tired army?"

"It's just suicide!"

"While I enjoy conducting some adventurous military operations, I will not go and die."

Even Deng Ai felt that crossing the snow-capped Alps to attack the base camp of a powerful country was tantamount to seeking death.

Basically, ancient people in all dynasties were not optimistic about it.

Most people think so.

If Hannibal really crossed the snow-capped mountains.

It is also impossible to go to die with a group of remnants of soldiers.

……

Canopy.

In the ancient Roman Senate.

After someone suggested that Hannibal might take the northern route across the Alps to attack mainland Italy.

The entire Senate was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.

[Yes, yes, Hannibal will cross the Alps. ]

【Hahaha! 】

[The troops will freeze to death on the way, half will die of exhaustion climbing the mountain, and the rest will all flee.]

【And don't forget the Gallic tribes along the way. 】

Do you think the Gauls will welcome him when he arrives?

[Maybe Hannibal would bring his elephant with him when he climbed the mountain, haha! ]

【No one can climb the Alps.】

[Not even if he is the great Hannibal Barca! ]

It can be seen that in the entire Senate, there were three options for Hannibal to attack Sicily: crossing the sea from the west, passing through Greece from the east, or directly from North Africa in the south.

All of them can cause some discussion.

As for Hannibal, he crossed the Alps from the north.

It will only cause laughter from the audience.

But the contrasting effect is.

At a time when the senators had no idea that Hannibal could cross the Alps.

In fact, Hannibal had already set out on the journey to the snowy mountains.

The picture shows a team marching hard on the snowy mountains.

The army marched with difficulty in the snowstorm.

dejected.

People kept falling down along the way.

Even the elephants seemed to be wailing.

But the leader was in a terrible state.

But his face beneath the cloak revealed determination.

It seemed as if his sight had penetrated the Alps and seen Rome on the other side of the mountains.

……

Under Hannibal's determined gaze, the sky video ended.

A large number of bullets were also fired.

"Hannibal is knocking! The trailer for this game is truly a classic."

"Indeed, the atmosphere of the trailer is full, and almost every sentence explains the content of the game."

"Hannibal never appeared directly in the first half, but through the speculation of the elders, his threat to Rome was reflected. In the end, he suddenly appeared in an unexpected place and was slapped in the face. The rhythm arrangement was very good. "

"According to reports from our ambassador stationed in Shangyang, a new Chaos Champion has risen in the North!"

"The Chaos Champion is bringing his mammoth to attack the Empire, right?"

《Huh? It turns out that Warhammer Tamer Khan is a neta Hannibal. 》

"Is it impossible to cross the Alps? Hannibal: Can I slap you in the face?"

"Uncle Ba teaches you how to be a good person."

"Reaching Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Europe, let's look at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, family~"

"Please CA please stop showing the old promotional CGs. It will only make your current lame promotional videos look awkward."

The barrage is discussing.

The ancients also discussed and analyzed the success rate of Hannibal's actions.

Three Kingdoms.

Deng Ai finished watching the promotional video of this game.

We realized that this commander named Hannibal Barca actually led a large army to force his way across the Alps!

"This risk is too great, this risk is too great!"

"As those Roman elders said, his army will continue to die of exhaustion and fall along the way, and there will be constant deserters."

"In this situation, what would it matter if we crossed the Alps?"

"You can't just surrender Rome when the enemy is at the gates, right?"

Later Tang Dynasty.

Another person who also enjoyed military adventures was Li Cunxu, Emperor Zhuangzong of Later Tang.

He admired Hannibal's move of leading a surprise force to attack the enemy's vital points.

Although Li Cunxu was not optimistic about Hannibal's success.

"The sky screen, since it specifically shows Hannibal's crossing of the Alps."

"I think this action has achieved some results."

"But it can also be seen from the short sky-screen video just now."

"Rome has control of the seas."

"In the European Mediterranean region, sea control is too important."

"And it seems that the Roman army is not invincible against Hannibal."

"It's just that Hannibal's whereabouts are unknown for the time being."

"In this case, after crossing the Alps, Hannibal might have launched a desperate attack and captured a Roman city in a flash."

"But that should be the end of it."

"But I am also very curious."

"Look at the sky. It's not like Hannibal doesn't have his own base."

"Spain and North Africa are all Carthage's lands."

"Why not hold on to the base and develop slowly, instead of taking such a big risk, crossing the Alps and attacking the enemy's lair?"

"Hannibal in the picture just now clearly looks young."

"But he was tortured by the arduous march and became like a fifty-year-old man."

"As the commander of an army, he risked his life on the snowy mountains in the cold wind and conquered the mountains."

"What on earth makes him have such a strong spirit?"

And in Li Cunxu's puzzled eyes.

A new canopy also appeared.

night.

Temple.

Soldiers on patrol.

and the flag of Carthage was flying.

The style of this new sky curtain is almost the same as the previous one.

The owners were able to roughly determine that it should be the same game.

It's just different content.

A night temple appeared on the sky. In front of the temple, a man and a young man were sitting around a campfire.

Adult male, marked by the sky curtain as Hamilcar Barca, leader of the Carthaginian Barca family.

【Hamilcar Barca: Hannibal, my son.】

【You swear before God.】

【From today until your death. 】

Throughout your life.

[You will become Rome's enemy. You and Rome are irreconcilable! ]

【You will destroy Rome. 】

The young man named Hannibal stood solemnly before the statue and made a vow.
