Chapter 594

Under such circumstances, Antioch III adopted a cold treatment method for the city. He believed that even if he did nothing, Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng would have to resist the Qin army for a while and serve him as a buffer.

But what he didn't know was that Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng had done too much on his back. Now the city seems solid and has at least 40,000 to 50,000 people is actually a time bomb, and Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng have already pressed the countdown button on the bomb.

In this way, without Han Xin's knowledge, he had already gained a chance in the war with Seleu. In fact, that city had no significant effect on this war, but the time it took to pass through this city after an empty city was completely different.

At this time, Han Xin, Meng Tian and others had already brought their army to the territory of the Huns, which was a little far from Seleu, where their target was. The Huns' soldiers had not even assembled. On the one hand, they showed that they did not want to participate in this battle, and on the other hand, they showed their reassurance for the Qin army.

Although there were no soldiers, Xiang Yu still left the city in person and brought his several generals to Han Xin and Meng Tian. He was kind and wanted to do it. So Xiang Yu naturally asked in person whether Han Xin needed to assemble his own army. The execution of the Huns was still good. If he assembled, in just one day, the 100,000 troops would be brought together.

Of course, this proposal was rejected by Han Xin. Han Xin did not say any reason, and everything was pushed to Ying Gao, saying that he was just acting on orders. The Emperor of Qin said that this time, the Qin Dynasty must be destroyed by its own strength. Therefore, although Han Xin also wanted to fight side by side with Xiang Yu, Han Xin still had to abide by the emperor's orders.

After saying this, Xiang Yu naturally would not insist. He did not want his army to suffer too much loss. After all, Xiang Yu was not sure what kind of relationship between the Qin and the Huns would go after the Qin Dynasty destroyed Seliu.

"Did Shanyu know what happened to the Seleuth monarch Antioch III after I learned about the 200,000 army III that I led to the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty?"

It is certain that the Huns' troops do not need them, but the news that the Huns should know is still necessary. The role of information is no less than the force.

"The Seleu people seem to be not going to build a defense line in the city closest to the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty. The general is afraid that the general will attack the city first, and then he can truly fight against Seleu's elite troops."

This news is undoubtedly quite useful to Han Xin. If you don’t know this news, you will definitely treat this city as a city that Antioch III has worked hard to set up. This will make Han Xin relax after breaking through this city. This is obviously not a good thing.

"Okay! If this battle goes really well, it will naturally have the achievements of the Shanyu. The Qin and the Huns are allies. If the Qin Dynasty wins the battle, the Huns will definitely not let the Huns help you in vain!"

Han Xin said this in front of the Qin generals and the Huns, which obviously conveyed a message from Ying Gao, that is, the relationship between the Qin and the Huns will continue for a long time.

In fact, Han Xin still needs to prepare for a city of 50,000 people, otherwise it would almost certainly cause some casualties here. In Han Xin's opinion, these 50,000 people were mostly regarded as suicide squads by Antioch III. If it is handled well, the soldiers will not be bloody, but if it is not handled well, it will cause as many as ten casualties to himself.

But what Han Xin and Antioch III didn't know was that the tens of thousands of defenders in that city were indeed ready to go, but they were not preparing to fight, but preparing to escape.

The news that Antioch III was that Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng were closely watching the movements of Han Xin's army. Antioch III had already sent news to Hu Hai, that is, they could resist the Qin army, but once they could not resist, they could immediately retreat to the capital of Seleu.

Although this is very nice, smart people can see that under the iron hoofs of the 300,000 army of Daqin, you can't escape just by wanting to escape. This battle may be a catastrophe.

Because Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng performed very much like they wanted to fight the Qin army, Antioch III had nothing to worry about and had been building their own defense step by step.

On this day, several scouts sent by Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng suddenly ran back with panting. The news they brought back was almost the same, that is, after the Qin army rested on the territory of the Huns for two days, they suddenly started to come to their own city. Judging from the posture, they could reach the city in less than two days.

"Young Master, according to your words, we should quickly rectify our troops and run away. If we wait any longer, once the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty really arrives at the city, even if you and I can run out, the tens of thousands of troops under our command will not be able to escape!"

After Zhao Cheng received the news, he immediately arrived at Hu Hai's side. Of course, his purpose was to persuade Hu Hai to leave quickly. He would be at the city in two days, and it was not a joke.

But after hearing this, Hu Hai did not look anxious. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "There is no rush in this matter. We will wait for a day and leave again. Since we will offend Seleu after leaving this way, we might as well leave them a big surprise. When the Seleu people find that we have left, I am afraid that the Qin army will soon arrive at their territory. At that time, they will never have time to care about us. The Qin and Seleu should fight, and we can take a safe look at the fun in it."

Hu Hai understood his meaning very well, that is, what he wanted to do must be to the extreme. He insisted on running when they were only one step away from the Qin army.

The ones who ran to the opposite direction of Seliu were in the direction of Seliu. Even if the people of the Qin Dynasty knew about it, the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty would definitely not pursue them, because the target of the Qin Dynasty was Seliu, and they would not know that the people leading the team were Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng.

Maybe when Han Xin really attacked Seleu, he would know, but at that time they obviously wouldn't know where Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng went. Even Antioch III did not know about this place. This is the ultimate place that Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng wanted on this land. Only after they had a place that truly belonged to themselves could they sit and watch the changes in this world and then slowly draw on it.

One day passed again. During this day, the army of Daqin was wearing black armor and rushed to the city where Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng were step by step, which was very similar to the dark clouds that were swaying in the poems and books of later poets. Yes, Han Xin also created a hint of this feeling for these people so that his team could gain all the psychological advantages.

But on this night, Han Xin was resting in the big tent. Suddenly, a general under his command led the way in and then told Han Xin a very dramatic news.

"What? All the generals and sergeants guarding the city in that city ran away through the back door?"

"Yes, not only the generals and soldiers ran away, but most of the people seemed to have also run away with their luggage and their families. General, should we cover up and kill at this time?"

"What direction did they run?"

"I ran to the opposite direction of Seleu and left Seleu's territory directly. However, because there are some small countries around here, no one dared to stop them with 40,000 or 50,000 people. As for where they were going, they could not decide, but they could guarantee that they were not going to Seleu."

"It wasn't that I escaped to Seleu's direction, which means that this time I escaped to Seleu's monarch must have no idea. He would never have thought that the generals in this city would run away with the defenders, so this is a great opportunity for us!"

"The general means...we won't chase after those soldiers who have already escaped?"

"That's natural. Since they have withdrawn from this war, they naturally have nothing to do with us. We immediately set off and went straight through the city that is now an empty city, and then headed straight to the defense line built by the Seleu people, catching them off guard!"

So, Han Xin quickly summoned Meng Tian and others to discuss this time the troops were sent.

"If all the 300,000 troops were dispatched, I'm afraid it's from time to time..." After hearing this, Meng Tian was quite supportive of Han Xin's decision, but he didn't have any certainty about the number of troops sent, because the 300,000 troops were very slow in marching scale and speed.

"This time I will bring 50,000 elite cavalry, and General Meng Tian will bring 50,000 elite cavalry to plunder and kill the Seleu people's fortifications! What we have to do is to kill the Seleu people as fast as possible and give the Seleu people a heavy blow to the morale!"

After deciding on the strategy, Meng Tian also recognized this matter quite well. That night, the two of them took 100,000 cavalry with the fastest marching speed and went directly to the city and to the hinterland of the Seleu people.

The remaining troops moved slowly, and they still wanted the city that Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng wanted. With this stronghold, it would undoubtedly be of great benefit to their battle.

Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng left so suddenly that the scouts sent by Antioch III to monitor them did not notice it at the first time. When they woke up, they found that the city was a little wrong, and the 100,000 troops led by Han Xin and Meng Tian had already crossed the city. They missed the best opportunity to report to Antioch III.

The first news that Antioch III received was that the 100,000 Qin Iron Cavalry who came from somewhere had arrived in Seleu's territory and entered Seleu's hinterland, and immediately attacked the defense line they built.

"What? Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng's 50,000 troops were taken down by the Qin army so quickly?"

This was something Antioch III never expected. This situation completely disrupted his initial arrangement of the war. It turned out that he was still thinking about observing the true strength of the Qin cavalry through the 50,000 cannon fodders of Hu Haiha and Zhao Cheng. In this way, he obviously did not have that opportunity.

When the fortifications were not yet fully constructed, Antioch III made a quick idea and almost called most of the cavalry here from their respective guards. Then, led by him and several generals under his command, they directly charged against each other with the cavalry led by Han Xin and Meng Tian.

This was something Han Xin and Meng Tian didn't expect. At this time, Han Xin had to admit that the Seleuan monarch Antioch III was really a very good at fighting. If an ordinary general was an ordinary general, he would probably have to hurry to organize a wave of defense after he suddenly learned the news. However, Antioch III did the opposite and rushed out with the same number of troops.

Although this may cause great damage to one's own troops, it is indeed the best way to face such a situation. Although it has not turned passive into activeness, it is equivalent to turning passive into evenly matched.

"General, this battle can test the real combat power of our Great Qin cavalry. If we cannot kill these enemy troops under such circumstances, it would be a shame for our Great Qin cavalry to train over the years!"

This sentence is what Han Xin said to Meng Tian after learning what strategy Antioch III adopted. Its words obviously revealed strong self-confidence.

"That's natural. Every one of my Daqin soldiers has undergone rigorous training, and the formation formed is difficult for ordinary cavalry to crack. In addition, the design armor and weapons are opened. If one can't fight five, it would be a joke."

The words that Meng Tian said against five were not casually said. He has always witnessed the development of the Qin cavalry. Since the Qin Dynasty had not unified the six kingdoms, he has been commanding the Qin cavalry, so Meng Tian is very clear about the difference.
