Answer:

He attacked Carthage's possession in Spain - New Carthage, which led Hannibal to withdraw his troops from Italy and to send them to Carthage as he was afraid that Scipio will attack Carthage directly.

Explanation:

After the battle of Cannae it looked like Hannibal had Romans in his hands. But, he refused to attack Rome directly, which was used by Romans to produce counterattack.
