208 B.C., April 15th, early morning.
The sky had just turned white, and the first ray of sunlight had yet to shine on the walls of Tunis.
"Where is the Qin army?"
In Tunis.
Hannibal, the commander of the Carthaginian army, had a solemn expression as he asked in a deep voice.
Facing Great Qin, who had conquered Parthia, Seljugal, Ptolemy, and Macedon, the Great Qin Empire was like an army that had been defeated by the Great Qin Empire.
Even though he was a famous general in Europe and Asia, he did not dare to let his guard down.
"General, the enemy is here."
At this moment.
A messenger rushed over and said loudly.
" What?!"
Hearing this, Hannibal's expression changed and he hurriedly ran towards the corner tower.
Ten days ago, the Qin army was still in the Iberian Plains. How could they suddenly appear in Tunis? It was too fast.
At this moment.
A group of figures appeared on a slope less than five miles away from Tunis.
Under the morning glow, a large black torrent surged.
They were the 100,000 soldiers of the Nile Camp of the Great Qin Empire, and they were all the most elite Iron Eagle soldiers.
Tens of thousands of cavalry galloped across the plains, rumbling like thunder. Flags flew and horns sounded.
The Qin army pressed down from all directions.
"Woo... Wuuuu..."
The melodious and deep horn sounded continuously.
Groups of black-armored soldiers had resolute expressions as they held spears and walked forward in small steps.
At the front were spearmen, on both sides were light soldiers with swords, and in the ranks were archers and shieldmen.
The cavalry cruised on the outside, forming an orderly and impenetrable formation.
This scene made the Carthaginian commander Hannibal's expression turn even uglier.
In the past, he had witnessed the Macedonians sweeping through Asia, Africa and Europe.
In comparison, Great Qin's army was more orderly and posed a greater threat.
"Dong! Thump! Dong!"
In the Qin army square formation, dozens of strong men waved their drumsticks, and a series of urgent drumbeats that sounded like a torrential rain resounded through the clouds.
Xie Xuan, the general of Nile, suddenly pulled out his saber and roared,""Jiujiu Old Qin, unify the world.”
"Jiujiu Old Qin, unify the world. Don't stop fighting until the blood runs dry."
"Jiujiu Old Qin, unify the world. Don't stop fighting until the blood runs dry."
"Jiujiu Old Qin, unify the world. Don't stop fighting until the blood runs dry."
The 100,000 Qin soldiers roared in rage, their voices filled with the determination to wipe out a thousand troops. They were like a wave of heavy thunder that crushed into the distance.
This was Xie Xuan's determination and the conviction of the Qin army.
The Great Qin Empire's iron will and military spirit would be displayed on the continent of Africa for the first time, and it would definitely shock the world.
"Attack!"
With Xie Xuan's order, the blood of the soldiers of the three armies surged and they charged forward like a tsunami.
In a flash, countless cavalry swept across the plains, protecting the infantry formation. Pushing the cloud cart.
He lifted the scaling ladder and pressed down on the giant city of Carthage like angry clouds.
The 100,000 Qin soldiers were all staring at Tunis.
To them, it was not the giant city of Carthage, but a title and status.
The Great Qin Empire had a twelve-grade merit system. Even though all professions could be conferred titles, the fastest way was to be conferred titles based on military merits.
For this group of soldiers who rolled around in piles of corpses all day long, the bounty could feed their families, and the title and land were the best foundation for their descendants.
How could they not be imposing?
"Gather the soldiers and prepare to defend!"
Gazing at the black torrent, Hannibal held back the fear in his heart and shouted.
The surrounding Carthaginian soldiers quickly returned to their original positions. There was not much difference between the east and the west in terms of city defense equipment. The main difference was the rolling stones and wood.
Of course, Carthage's defenses could not compare to Great Qin's, and it might not even be comparable to any of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.
This was due to the difference in the scale and intensity of the war between the East and the West.
"Light soldiers, press forward! Archers, suppress the enemy!”
Xie Xuan, the general of Nile, unsheathed his sword and ordered coldly.
"Yes."
The Nile Army, which was the best at coordinating with the Qin army, reacted very quickly.
In an instant, the light soldiers, archers, and heavy armored soldiers were divided into several groups, each with their own duties.
Shieldbearers in front, light soldiers carrying ladders, and carriages were approaching Tunis 'walls.
"Release the arrows!"
When he was about 300 meters away from Tunis, the deputy general roared.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
The archers of the Qin army, who were already prepared, began to fire at the same time.
A dense rain of arrows rained down on Tunis 'walls.
For a moment, the Tunis city wall was drowned by the rain of arrows, and it was so blurry that it almost disappeared from the world.
"Puchi!"
On the city wall.
Hannibal witnessed the three-edged crossbows turn the Carthaginian soldiers into a sieve.
For the first time, he realized that the eastern civilization was more advanced and terrifying than the western civilization.
Corpses were dragged away one by one and piled up in a corner not far from the city wall.
Beneath him, the endless Carthaginian soldiers could not fill up the gap, and they did not seem to care about the deaths of their comrades.
The Carthaginian army was also brave and good at fighting. This kind of attack was not enough to destroy their will to resist.
At the same time.
The light soldiers of the Qin army had already arrived at the city wall with ladders and carts.
Many ladders were placed on the top of Tunis's city wall.
"Xiu! Whoosh!"
The Carthaginian soldiers also began to shoot arrows.
Their crossbows were not as good as the Qin army's crossbows, but at such a close distance, they were still lethal.
The sharp sound of air being torn apart rang out continuously as countless arrows shot down.
"Clang!"
The Qin shieldmen at the front quickly raised their shields and blocked most of the arrows.
However, there were still many arrows that hit the Qin soldiers.
However, the light soldiers of the Qin army did not care. They endured the pain and continued to charge forward.
That ruthlessness made Hannibal a little timid.
"Where are the ballistae and catapults? Open fire!"
In the Qin army, General Nile, Xie Xuan, was giving out commands in an orderly manner.
In the past, the reason why the Great Qin Empire was able to unify the world was not only because its soldiers were fearless, but also because of its strategic planning and the decisiveness of its generals.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Over a hundred ballistae fired their bolts.
Each crossbow bolt was as thick as an adult male's wrist. When it was shot out, it emitted a particularly loud hissing sound.
The power was astonishing, and every crossbow bolt pierced into the city wall.
"Ah!"
"Save me!"
Faced with such a terrifying attack, the Carthaginian soldiers finally could not take it anymore.
Many of them were hit by the arrows, which pierced through their bodies and nailed them to the city wall. Blood splattered all over the ground.
This was a devilish punishment.
However, at this moment.
The catapults of the Qin army also began to show their might.
Countless boulders covered the sky and covered the earth, as if casting a large shadow over the sky.
? On the walls of Tunis, all the Carthaginian soldiers were overwhelmed with shock and did not have time to react.
"Quick, dodge."
Hannibal shouted anxiously.
Unfortunately, he shouted too slowly.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The huge rocks smashed into the city walls, causing large areas of the city walls to collapse.
The Carthaginian soldiers did not even have time to scream before they were smashed into meat pies.
The ballistae and catapults formed a natural moat of death, causing the Carthaginian soldiers to have no time to defend against the light Qin soldiers below the city.
"Charge!"
The Qin army seized the opportunity.
One ladder after another climbed up the city wall. One figure after another held a horizontal saber in their left hand and climbed up with their right hand.
A moment later.
Hundreds of light Qin soldiers charged up the city wall.
"Brothers, kill!"
The Carthaginian soldiers who could not react in time were chopped into minced meat on the spot.
? In a small area like the city wall, the Qin army formed groups of three and continued to slaughter the Carthaginian soldiers.
Gradually.
The black torrent surged up the city wall and covered the red that represented the Carthaginian soldiers.
The Qin army occupied the dominant position.
