Generally speaking, rainy weather is not suitable for setting fires.
But on the other hand……
There is an old saying in China that says, "Those who follow the Tao will move in opposition."
Just because everyone thinks there will be no fires in heavy rain, so... in fact, it is a good opportunity!
certainly……
If it was a storm from the sea, there would still be obstacles to arson. Therefore, little Hannibal collected intelligence regardless of the cost this time, and gradually obtained some key...
There is a larger river near the Tang Empire's camp.
The value of these rivers is of course farming, but that will happen a long time later, after the Tang Imperial Army has been expelled and the Roman territory has been expanded. Now, the greatest value of this river lies in its... bigness.
In summer, heavy rain clouds can easily accumulate near large rivers or lakes. As long as they are used properly...
Then there will definitely be an advantage in fighting!
Little Hannibal attached great importance to this military operation, and even led the troops out personally...
Although I changed my emperor's attire and came only as a secret supervisor of the army instead of formally conquering in person, it is enough to show that little Hannibal attached great importance to it.
Not long after, little Hannibal quickly arrived at his destination, and then...
Somewhat unfortunately, the weather did not go as expected, rain clouds accumulated in the direction of the land, and then turned into a storm.
This made little Hannibal feel very anxious, and the generals accompanying him began to be afraid... After all, this emperor was not an ordinary person.
After waiting for several days, there was no expected heavy rain. Little Hannibal's mood gradually became a little irritable, and he directly selected one person from the team of navigators and scholars who followed him to execute him.
But... even though the situation was not optimistic enough, little Hannibal did not continue to go crazy. The purpose of executing one person was not only unhappy and wrong in prediction, but also partly to suppress the army. After all, the conquest journey this time was indeed quite long.
.
But in the end, little Hannibal really had to wait for an opportunity.
Among the troops of the Tang Empire, for some unknown reason...
To be precise, it was not their camp and army, but another group of people from overseas -
The previous wave of battles was just an appetizer. In the eyes of little Hannibal, it could not be regarded as a battle at all. The plan at that time was originally...
After arriving, he discovered that the camp here in the Tang Empire seemed to have not been stationed for a long time. The defense facilities of the entire camp, such as walls, were not strong enough and were relatively crude.
Although the Roman army did not have all the heavy-armored elites... similar to the "black armor" of the Tang Empire, it was not without a similar organization. There were still knights!
This kind of defensive wall is not strong enough, and the knights can completely break through it with their thick plate armor... and on the other hand.
The Romans also had grenades!
The most complex technology among this grenade is the technology that can trigger ignition with just one pull.
As well as the technology to ensure that each grenade explodes after the same burning time, both of which Rome did not have.
But high technology is not necessarily the core technology, just as the core technology of grenades is actually just gunpowder... Young Hannibal actually got this formula through Xuan Chen, and the number of grenades in the Roman legion was not low.
So in general, from the beginning, in the opinion of little Hannibal, it was entirely possible to directly attack the Tang Imperial Army's camp in one go... But it was a pity that in the Tang Imperial Army's camp,
For some reason, there is a girl who is obviously Persian.
This girl's calmness and professionalism towards the war directly surprised little Hannibal. She actually reorganized the defeated Tang Empire army, and...
In the territory where this girl is located, an additional trap area has been opened up - traps are not as good as walls, because walls can accommodate more people after all.
But this girl relied on traps on one side, walls and man-made ditches on the other, and most importantly, relied on the coastline to create a triangular defense circle...
The defensive effect of this defensive circle is much stronger than that of the previous camp, because one side is a trap... This side is the most difficult to break. After all, there are only so many plate armor knights, and their main role is to break through a defense system.
The hardest part, and then let the main force of the army charge. As for the trap area... there is obviously no possibility of "breaking through it, and then letting others charge with it".
The other side is supposed to be able to charge. After all, this is also the limitation of things like "trap areas". No one can use one area to wrap up another residential area.
But at this time, the wisdom and quality of this young girl were revealed. Because of the defense on the other side, she rallied the originally collapsed army of the Tang Empire... It was the army that was defending from the front.
Originally, with the strength of the Roman legions this time, this resistance and defense was insignificant, and they were captured as soon as they encircled them. But therein lies the problem, because of the existence of the trap area... encircling them is really impossible, and there is no way to survive on this side.
, how to encircle?
And the third direction...is the sea.
At this time, little Hannibal could only lament that the Tang Empire was indeed different from the stupid barbarians in Arabia. When dealing with such a difficult and complicated situation, the response was much faster and more agile. Otherwise, it would stop him in his tracks.
Already.
But then, we enter the stage of waiting for opportunities.
After the girl withstood the pressure, the two armies were in a stalemate, and the battle no longer continued to be intensive, she naturally began to further expand the trap area, planting spikes like a farmer expanding his manor.
To break through, it is obvious that we must launch an attack from the sea...
So the situation returned to the situation where little Hannibal had to wait for "the storm starting from the land direction".
Only a storm that starts from the land direction will not completely ruin his arson plan... Without the cover of a storm, it is difficult to take things by surprise, and a storm from the sea is too exaggerated.
But what surprised little Hannibal was that after waiting for a while, the storm from the land did not appear.
But in the sea direction of the Tang Empire's camp, new changes occurred...
When the reinforcements arrived, Hannibal was not surprised, because he had already determined that the scale of the reinforcements would not be too large.
But on the night of reinforcements, the other party's vigilance seemed to have an opportunity.
Yes, the reinforcements also left a lot of guards on the ship, but little Hannibal observed that the guards on these ships... were not specially arranged!
