Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 148: Tara

   Hearing this, Li Wei couldn't help being taken aback: "What did you say? 50,000 infantrymen, 15,000 cavalrymen and 100 war elephants."

   50,000 Numidian infantry is nothing to him, but 15,000 Numidian cavalry is very powerful, and even more terrifying are those war elephants.

  Those war elephants are like heavy cavalry on the battlefield. Once they charge, they are indestructible.

   "Yes, he deployed these soldiers in Tara, ready to fight you to the death there."

  Hypsar said.

   "Tara?"

   News about Tara soon came to Li Wei's mind. The terrain there is very peculiar, all of them are Gobi, except for Tara City, there is no water source for 80 kilometers.

   In history, the old Metluth had defeated Tara, but at that time Tara did not have many enemies.

   Li Wei's eyes immediately became serious. This battle is not easy to fight.

   "Your message is very important, and I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of Rome."

   Li Wei said.

   "This is what I should do. I attach great importance to the friendship with Rome."

   Haipsar said eagerly.

   Li Wei settled him down, and then summoned all the generals to discuss this matter.

   "I don't think we should go to Tara to fight. It will take six days just to go back and forth, and during these six days we will be able to get any fresh water replenishment."

   Getta said, "This will put our army in a very dangerous situation."

   "When Metellus attacked Tara, Tara didn't have so many enemies. I was firmly opposed to attacking Tara."

   "But if we don't attack. How do we catch Dumidius, we get news that he has joined Iabbas."

   "……"

   There was a lot of discussion, and most of them opposed it. But if they don't catch Dumidius, they will not be able to complete the mission of this trip.

   And 100 war elephants, it is really terrible, it makes them feel terrified.

   Once these war elephants start to come, even the six legions are not their opponents.

   "In this case, let's not attack first. Let's train the soldiers how to deal with the elephants." Li Wei said.

   Everyone was stunned, but this is also good.

   So the army stopped advancing in the next few days. Li Wei asked those war elephant trainers to introduce them to the habits of war elephants, and asked each soldier to touch the war elephants to eliminate their fear of the war elephants.

   "This guy is really amazing, but his personality is quite gentle."

   said a Roman soldier touching a war elephant.

   "Gentle, you are not its opponent if you really launched Ten Weilai."

   Another Roman soldier sneered.

   The soldier chuckled, he knew he was right.

   Li Wei made everyone familiar with the war elephant, while thinking about how to deal with the war elephant.

  The Chinese are the strongest in dealing with war elephants in history. Whether it is Lin Yiguo or Nantang, their war elephants fell under the huge crossbow of the Chinese army.

  On the contrary, in the West, the war elephant used to exert great power. When the Roman army first came into contact with the war elephant, it was beaten to the ground by the war elephant. .

   But later they also found a way to deal with the war elephant, the most typical is Caesar.

In the process of pursuing the rest of Pompey in North Africa, Caesar encountered the war elephants of the Numidia Kingdom. He used the characteristics of the war elephants to be afraid of sound and scared the war elephants away with gongs and drums. The frightened war elephants caused a huge impact on the opponent. hurt. .

   Thinking of this, he found a logistics officer and asked them to make waist drums and gongs.

   They were very strange to Li Wei's request, but they still made a lot of waist drums and gongs according to his requirements.

  All the work is proceeding in an orderly manner. On this day, King Iasis of Numidia sent his envoy to Livi’s camp.

   "Honorable General Li Wei, why don't you attack us? Our king is waiting for you in Tara."

   The messenger was a little tall and thin, he said triumphantly.

   "Because I have been worrying recently, many people contacted me to want your king's throne. This makes me very distressed."

   Li Wei said with a smile.

   Hearing this, the messenger's face immediately became black.

   Can you not mention this? If the king knew, he would be very angry.

   "I have brought a letter from the king. My king always maintains a high respect for Rome. As long as you are willing to return to Sima, my king is willing to revise the covenant with you."

   This messenger said.

   "Handing over Dumizius, this is the prerequisite for revising the covenant."

   Li Wei said.

   "This is impossible. He is my king's distinguished guest, and my king will never give the guest to other people..."

   The messenger said.

   "If this is the case, then prepare to go to war."

   Li Wei said.

   The messenger snorted coldly. "We are waiting for you in Tara."

   left here after speaking.

   Li Wei sullenly. It seems that preparations for the offense have to be accelerated.

   A large number of wooden barrels were made. These wooden barrels can be placed on a carriage and filled with a lot of water.

   In addition, Li Wei prepared a kettle for each of the soldiers.

   When all this is ready. Li Wei asked the soldiers to learn to kill the elephants.

   After the soldiers learned **** the elephants, Li Wei led them to Tara.

  He took all the troops on this trip, including 6 legions, more than 8,000 cavalry, and a large number of logistics teams.

   The carriage was filled with various supplies. Except for the food that Li Wei had prepared for ten days, everything else was filled with water.

   Although Li Wei is preparing for various wars, he is not willing to attack Tara directly. He has tried various ways to lure them into battle, but the Tara area can only be described by one word, that is, as stable as a dog.

   Finally, Li Wei had to lead an army to Tara~www.novelmt.com~ The desolate Gobi, with no end in sight, the army stretched for several kilometers.

   Not long after entering the Gobi, they were harassed by a large number of enemy cavalry.

   A steady stream of cavalry attacked his army from all directions, which caused the army's marching speed to drop again and again.

   It took four days to complete the trip, but Li Wei found that it would take at least six days.

   And he discovered one thing, that is, the enemy's main target is their water tanker.

   No matter how cleverly hidden their water tanker is, they always seem to be able to accurately locate the water tanker.

   Is there a traitor in the team?

   Now Li Wei is not calm. Of course he knows how serious the consequences of a lack of water in an army are.

   plus the insider, this is simply a disaster.

  How the old yin Sura defeated Mario He knew exactly how, he didn't want to be a stepping stone to the enemy.

   Li Wei thought for a long time, and finally when the march to the fifth day, all his generals and lieutenant generals gathered.

   He said with a heavy face: "I'm telling you an unfortunate news. The enemy's attack has greatly delayed the speed of our army. So I announced that the army should stop advancing and immediately turn around and retreat."
