Another general persuaded the person who spoke earnestly. He knew that although his friend had a low emotional intelligence, his combat effectiveness was very strong. Although the consul said that the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty did not have much ability, the official who had been following the situation of the Qin Dynasty told them privately before they set off that the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty should not be underestimated, especially that they could use a formation to make a team one by one, and it was really difficult to unite.

In this way, this general with a more cautious personality will be careful. After all, the enemy also has nearly 300,000 troops. If the combat power is really strong, they will not be able to achieve very good results if they travel a long distance.

Hu Hai was really quite punctual. According to the time the messenger told them, it was not early or late at all. He arrived with his 30,000 troops.

After arriving, Hu Hai saw that the soldiers brought over this time were much more regular than the last time, but the more than 100,000 people in front of him were still dressed in various clothes. At first glance, they were like miscellaneous soldiers and cannon fodder.

The 100,000 troops in the central army were clearly dressed and majestic. At first glance, they came with great confidence. Hu Hai also saw that these were the real elites of the Romans. If they wanted to defeat the Qin people in Seleu, they must rely mainly on this team of troops.

"Since you have arrived, then set off quickly. Otherwise, if the people of the Qin Dynasty saw clues, our surprise attack would not be that simple. Now at least we have to win a city first, otherwise how can we panic them?"

After Hu Hai arrived, a Roman general arranged him to the position of the rear army. They thought that Hu Hai and his 30,000 shrimp soldiers and crab generals must have no effect at all. It would be better to just help point out the way.

Hu Hai was so happy. He followed the large army quickly towards Seleu, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

The place they are currently departing is a one-day distance from Seleu, and there is no decent force around them, which provides great convenience for their marching secrets

The reason why the marching time was set at this time was that according to their marching speed, it would be ten in the middle of the night when they arrived at Seleu. This is of course the best time for sneak attacks. Although the Romans were a little arrogant, they still had enough experience in this regard, otherwise they would not have won the final victory in the war with Hannibal.

But after they set out for more than half a day, they received a message from Seleu people who gave Han Xin a general.

It was a letter with a passage written in the language of the Mauryan Dynasty. After Han Xin and Meng Tian found the right person to translate it, they all showed a look of surprise, because the letter was not anything else, but the Roman army would come to the city within one day.

In fact, Han Xin and Meng Tian had already learned from Philip V that the Roman army had rushed to Seleu. They estimated that they had been in the past two days, but this news was undoubtedly more accurate. What surprised them was nothing else. They had no other allies except Philip V and Xiang Yu, and it was even more impossible for someone who had so deep into the enemy to control first-hand news to report to them.

"Could it be that Xiang Yu took action in advance?"

"It's not Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu should be waiting at the border between Seleu and the Mauryan Dynasty in case of emergency. And he realized that this matter was not long and it would never be possible to get involved in the Romans."

After Meng Tian and Han Xin made several speculations, they basically denied them all again.

But it would not be possible to guess who this person is, but it does not affect the accuracy of the news. If there were no previous news from Philip V, Han Xin and the others would not be able to believe it. However, with the two verified it now, the accuracy of this news must be without any problem.

Knowing the direction and approximate time of the enemy is of great significance to Han Xin and Meng Tian. They have an army of 200,000 to 300,000, and they will definitely not let the enemy's troops arrive at the city.

And they knew that if they had not formed an alliance with Philip V and that letter, the enemy would have definitely attacked them.

The two quickly made a plan. This first battle must let the enemy know the power of the Qin Dynasty. In other words, it is to just face the enemy head-on. If the enemy wants to raid them, then they will ambush the enemy. On the one hand, they can catch them off guard. On the other hand, after this battle, you can know the enemy's true ability and prepare for other battles in the future.

In fact, there was not much time left for Han Xin and Meng Tian at this time. They organized some people, but Meng Tian was still led out of the city to ambush, while Han Xin was in the city.

During this period of time in Seleu, Meng Tian was like a paradise. He had been guarding Shangjun, who had already thought that he would be like this in his life, but he did not expect that Ying Gao sent him to the Mauryan Dynasty, which made his war career rejuvenate for the second spring.

At the beginning of the war against Seleu, although Meng Tian served as Han Xin's deputy, when there was a war, even if Han Xin wanted to go out again, he had to stay in the city. Almost every time the incident of rushing outside the city fell on Meng Tian.

In these wars, whether it was facing the Seleu people or the army sent by the Romans to test later, Meng Tian let them know the power of the Qin cavalry. This time, they faced the real elite of the Romans. Although Meng Tian was a little nervous, he was still very excited.

If he could defeat the Roman cavalry this time, even if the Qin Dynasty really wanted to attack Rome for two years, he would have been old and unable to fight, and he would have made a lot of contributions to it.

Taking advantage of the night, Meng Tian brought out the city with 100,000 most elite troops. According to the direction the Romans came, they would definitely choose to attack this city. This was judged by Han Xin and Meng Tian a few days ago. They had been setting up guards for this city for several days.

In fact, the Romans did not realize that in this era, you can actually have ambitions, but your strength must be enough to support your ambitions.

The Qin Dynasty had ambitions, so the Qin Dynasty captured the Mauryan Dynasty and Seleu, but the Qin Dynasty had always been doing what it could. The war to attack the Mauryan Dynasty was prepared for two years before it was decided.

The attack on Seliu was also the one that Han Xin successfully captured Seliu after preparing for a long time in the territory of the Great Qin and the Mauryan Dynasty.

During this period, although Ying Gao knew that there were Macedonian and Romans, and that their strength was very strong, he had never sent people to inquire about anything about them, not because Ying Gao had no ambition, but because Ying Gao understood that even if he learned about the news at this time, he would have no way to do anything to others.

One truth that Ying Gao knew was that when your strength really reached that level, just like the current Daqin, it would naturally attack their doorsteps, and the road left to them was naturally only surrender and death in battle.

But the Romans obviously did not know this truth, or they believed that they had such ability now, so they not only sent people to observe the movements of the Qin Dynasty, but also sent a large number of soldiers after discovering that the Qin Dynasty might develop into a force that poses a threat to them.

Of course, there is a basis for everything they have done, that is, the ability of the Qin Dynasty and the combat effectiveness of the army will definitely not be able to keep up with them. If they want to destroy the Qin Dynasty before it has really developed, at least they must have to make the Qin Dynasty occupy the Mauryan Dynasty at most, and there will be no other advancement.

Of course they didn't know that the Qin Dynasty had united everything they could, and prepared a big net for their army, waiting for them here.

"The city twenty miles ahead is Seliu. Judging from the current situation, the generals of the Qin Dynasty are really not prepared."

The two generals with the Roman army were about to arrive as Seleu's territory was about to arrive. After sending a small team of scouts to spy on it, they found that the other party was not ready on the city wall. The two generals thus determined that their raid had a very high possibility of success.

"I will take a team of men to attack first. If I can directly break through the city gate, I can follow you closely behind."

The Roman general who looked down on Hu Hai had to attack him personally when he saw this situation.

"No, I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid that if we don't have the ability to fight, we must first let those guys who are not good at fighting to experiment first. If we really catch the generals of Daqin off guard, we will go to capture the city gate. Otherwise, if there is any change in this, our losses will be very heavy."

I have to say that there are still some very powerful people among the Roman generals, which is why the Roman consul sent them together. The abilities of these two generals are quite complementary.

If it was really like the first person before, it would be possible that Seleu would be able to break through the city of Seleu at the first time, but once he was ambushed, the consequences would be bad. Although the general who persuaded him did not believe that they would be ambushed, his intuition from years of fighting still made him not agree to his companion's slightly impulsive decision.

In this case, the two of them called out a general who was not a Roman, and asked him to take his 50,000 people under his command to go from the gate that was storming Seleu at the fastest speed.

At this time, Hu Hai and his 30,000 people followed the army. Seeing that there was no city when there was no movement, he couldn't help but silent for a few minutes for the 50,000 people. The Romans' decision was what he was willing to see.

After all, the result Hu Hai wanted to get was both defeated, and the premise for both defeat was that the Romans used the useless soldiers to attack the city first. When the elite soldiers of the Qin Dynasty came out, they would definitely be a battle against Mai Mang. This is the scene Hu Hai wanted to see.

As for the surprise attack, it is about efficiency. After the arrangement, the unlucky general led 50,000 people to attack, while the other troops followed closely behind him.

Soon, they arrived not far from the city, and the 50,000 troops rushed to the city gate without any pause.

The silence above the city gate and the wall made them think that his raid had been considered successful, but it was obviously not the case. After only three seconds of excitement, an arrow flew out of the city and hit a cavalry's cheek.

The screams echoed in the night sky, looking very harsh.

"No, the Qin people in this city are prepared and quickly let them retreat!"

The general was very grateful for his previous decision. If it were his elite Roman cavalry, there would be no big difference in facing arrows.

After a scream, many screams were heard. The 50,000 people faced the fast-flying arrows. It was so miserable. They were all Qin crossbows of the Qin Dynasty. If they were shot, they would basically have no chance of survival.

"Tell them quickly, retreat first and then discuss this matter for a long time. I think our 300,000 army is very large and has been noticed by the enemy. It is impossible to raid. There are other ways to think of."

After a little discussion, the two generals made the decision to withdraw their troops.

The 50,000 people were lost in a flash, and the rest were all fleeing around the arrows. After hearing the order to withdraw, they hurriedly fled backwards, and while the escape was still shot by arrows.

When they finally retreated to a safe place, when the Roman general ordered the horse's head to turn, suddenly, bursts of rumbling sounds came from both sides. The experienced general immediately heard it. It was the sound of the horse's hooves running rapidly.

"We are ambushed! Get ready to face the enemy!"

At this point, even if they can't believe it, they have to believe it. The facts have proved that not only their raid plan has failed, but they have fallen firmly into the enemy's encirclement.

Meng Tian chose to attack to the point where he was perfect. It was when the enemy's cavalry was turning their horses to go backwards. At this time, the formation was very scattered, and the panic caused by hearing the sound of the enemy's horse hooves made these cavalry very passive.
