Roman Slave Owner

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

50,000 Numidian infantry are nothing in his eyes, but 15,000 Numidian cavalry are very powerful, and the war elephants are even more terrifying.

Those war elephants are like heavy cavalry on the battlefield. Once they charge up, they are almost invincible.

"That's right, he deployed these soldiers to Tara, where he was going to fight you to the death."

Hypsall said.

"Tara?"

Soon news about Tara emerged in Levi's mind. The terrain there is very strange, all of which are Gobi, except for the city of Tala, there is no water source for 80 kilometers around.

Old Metellus once broke through Tara in history, but at that time Tara didn't have many enemies at all.

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

"Your message is very important and on behalf of Roma I thank you."

What Levi said.

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

Hypsal said earnestly.

Li Wei settled him down, and then called 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 get back and forth, and we won't get any replenishment of fresh water during those six days."

"It would put our military in a very dangerous situation," Guetta said.

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

"But if we don't attack. How can we catch Dumigios, we got the news that he has joined Iabbas."

"..."

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and most of them were opposed. But if Dumidius is not captured, they will not be able to complete the mission of this trip.

And 100 war elephants are really terrible, which makes them feel afraid.

Once these war elephants are launched, even the six legions are not their opponents.

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

Everyone was taken aback, but this is also very good.

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

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

Said by a Roman soldier touching a war elephant.

"Gentle, you are not its opponent even if you are really powerful."

Another Roman soldier sneered.

The soldier chuckled, knowing 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,

Still in the Southern Tang Dynasty, their war elephants fell under the huge crossbow of the Chinese army.

On the contrary, in the West, war statues once exerted great power. When the Roman army came into contact with war elephants for the first time, they were beaten to death by war elephants. .

But then they also found a way to deal with war elephants, the most typical being Caesar.

Caesar encountered war elephants from the Kingdom of Numidia during his pursuit of Pompey’s remnants in North Africa. He used gongs and drums to scare away the war elephants by taking advantage of the war elephants’ fear of noise. harm. .

Thinking of this, he recruited logistics officers and asked them to make waist drums and gongs.

They were very strange about Li Wei's request, but they still produced a large number of waist drums and gongs according to his request.

All the work was going on in an orderly manner, and on this day, Iasis, the king of Numidia, sent his envoys to Livi's camp.

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

The envoy was a bit tall and thin, he said proudly.

"Because I've been worrying a lot lately, a lot of people have contacted me wanting your king's throne. This makes me very distressed."

Li Wei said with a smile.

Hearing this, the envoy's face immediately turned black.

Could you please not mention this? If the king finds out, he will be very angry.

"I brought a letter from the king. My king has always maintained great respect for Rome. As long as you are willing to return Sima, my king is willing to re-revise the covenant with you."

what the messenger said.

"Hand over Dumigios, this is the premise of revising the covenant."

What Levi said.

"This is impossible. He is my king's honorable guest, and my king will never hand over the guest to other people..."

what the messenger said.

"If that's the case, then prepare to go to war."

What Levi said.

The messenger snorted coldly. "We're waiting for you at Tara."

After speaking, I left here.

Li Wei had a gloomy face. It seems that the preparations for the attack must be accelerated.

A large number of wooden barrels were made. These barrels can be placed on a wagon and hold a lot of water.

In addition, Li Wei prepared water bottles for each of those soldiers.

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

After the soldiers learned how to kill war elephants, Li Wei took them to Tara.

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

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

Although Li Wei was making all kinds of war preparations, he was unwilling to directly attack Tara. He tried every means to lure them to fight, but the Tara area can only be described in one word, that is, as stable as a dog.

Finally, Li Wei had to set off for Tara with the army.

The desolate Gobi can't see the end at a glance, and the army has been stretching 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.

The itinerary that could have been completed in four days, Li Wei found that it would take at least six days.

And he discovered one thing, that is, the key target of the enemy's attack is their water truck.

No matter how cleverly their water trucks are hidden, they always seem to be able to pinpoint where the water trucks are located.

Is there a traitor in the team?

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

Add in the traitor, and it's a disaster.

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

Li Wei thought for a long time, and finally when he marched to the fifth day, his generals and generals were summoned.

He said with a heavy face: "I tell you a piece of unfortunate news. The enemy's attack has greatly delayed the speed of our army's march. Therefore, I announce that the army will stop advancing and turn around and retreat immediately."
