Of course, Philip V knew that he was putting pressure on the Romans, because at the beginning, Philip V did not send troops, but only issued a manifesto. He also wanted to see what the Romans reacted first, and then decide what method he used to deal with the Romans.

The pressure now is indeed all over the Romans. Although the consul has controlled most of the power in his own hands, it is impossible to ignore such a big deal whether to send troops or not.

The previous tense disappeared completely because of Philip V's manifesto this time. The Senate urgently found the chamber of the Roman capital, and what he did was naturally Philip V's business.

"This time Philip V actually pulled the Qin and the Huns into their camp so quickly. The little advantage we had before Rome over Philip V was gone. If they attack Egypt again this time, should we save it or not?"

An old man in the Senate spoke first. After all, this was something that Rome had never encountered in a long time before. Rome had already suffered a great defeat during this period. Although the consul himself led the army to win a game, this time was different from the last time. They were defeated by these three similar forces before, and now they still had the same recipe. If the result was the same in the end, it was not something the Romans could accept.

"In my opinion, we must not go easily this time. After all, they dare not attack our Roman land. It is just a few places in the Mediterranean. We have never taken care of that place before. It is normal to care about it this time. Since those forces have joined forces, what we need to do is to preserve our strength!"

Another old man directly answered the old man's question and expressed his own point of view. Obviously, he had failed once before in the hands of those forces, but this time he did not believe that there would be any other result.

Everyone said it was like a word. Some said that they should send troops, and some said that they should not. It was quite chaotic for a while, but the consul had never spoken. He silently looked at the figures who had once called the wind and rain on the Roman land, and suddenly found that these figures were much different from those back then. He was very moved for a moment, feeling that if these people now faced Hannibal with the attitude, what would the Romans have in the end?

"Please listen to me!"

Finally, he knew that he could no longer let these people talk nonsense like this, so he said this with great angrily.

When the old men who were still chattering looked at him, they finally calmed down because they all knew that they would definitely not be able to lead their troops to the battle. The one who could lead their troops to the battle was the current consul of Rome, so his own view was very important.

"The Lords thought that Philip V had contacted the Great Qin and the Huns in such a short time. Although our previous attack on the Great Qin in Seleu may lead to hostility between the Great Qin and us, according to the previous scouts' reward, most of the 200,000 troops of the Great Qin had left, and there were less than 100,000 troops left, and these men and horses had to guard Seleu. In this way, how many troops could the Great Qin send to Philip V? As a subsidiary of the Great Qin, the Huns can send to Philip V. Can they really reach the number of people we faced when our troops attacked Seleu?"

After he asked this question, the old men looked at each other one by one. It was obvious that they had never thought about this before. What they were worried about was just the word "Da Qin". As for the fact that they were exploring the real situation of Da Qin, it has never been related to them.

Seeing that these old men were still silent, the consul continued to speak: "In my opinion, the Great Qin and the Huns will not send much troops. Moreover, since we sent troops to attack Seleu, we have already formed a grudge with the Great Qin. It is impossible for the Great Qin to not form an alliance with Philip V and turn with us. All we can do is to defeat Philip V and the Great Qin. If we cannot defeat them all, we Romans will have to choose to perish. We Romans have the temperament of our Romans. Hannibal was so cruel at the beginning, but we were defeated by us in the end. How can we be afraid of a mere Qin and Philip V now?"

The consul said this again. The old guys all looked ashamed. Of course, they knew what the Romans were like back then. They had basically never been afraid of anyone. If anyone was enemies with them, all they could do was to fight head-on, but this time, they really seemed a little afraid of fighting head-on.

"I wonder how many people you need? Philip V is coming in a fierce manner this time. I think it's not something that can be solved within 100,000 people, right?"

"I only have 100,000 Roman cavalry, plus some of our allies. I don't believe that the Qin and the Huns will be cannon fodder for Philip V. When we fight, their tricks will appear before us. If the Qin and the Huns are not really trying to help him, what will await him will only be failure."

The consul said it was quite decisive. After saying that, the people from the Senate looked at each other, obviously not expecting that he could be so courageous.

"Okay! Since you have such confidence, we will naturally support it with all our might. Although Rome is not the strongest time at this time, sending 100,000 troops is no problem. It is not difficult for us to gather 100,000 troops to gather 200,000 troops."

The old guys in the Senate basically changed their attitudes because of his attitude, which is enough to show that the consul's status in the Roman territory has improved during this period.

This time the discussion basically means that the consul took the lead. Of course, for him, the safest way is to not participate in the war, because if he does not participate in the war, he will not fail and will not have any impact on his status in Rome.

But once you join the war and win, it's okay. Once you fail, you will be a big blame on yourself and you can't even pick it up. Those cunning guys naturally know this. If you win, it will be beneficial to the whole of Rome. If you fail, it will be of great benefit to them regaining the power in their hands.

Facts have proved that the Romans' speculation was still very correct. They had just prepared 200,000 troops, and the Egyptians who had been there before were in place again. The Egyptians' words were basically the same as the last time. That is, Philip V gathered a large number of troops to attack them. Of course, they could not resist it, so they could only come to their elder brother for help the same as last time.

The Roman consul's reaction was the same as last time. He told the Egyptian that since we Rome can cover you once, we can cover you for the second time. After that, we went there without saying a word.

The best goal Philip V wanted to achieve this time was naturally to scare the Romans directly and prevent them from doing anything. In this way, he could basically take up a large area of ​​land in Egypt and the Mediterranean without spending much military service.

After these territories fell into their pockets, Philip V had already made plans. As long as they were distributed to the Qin and the Huns, they would be done if they were sent away. After all, it would be impossible for them to come to this place to see what was going on.

But what happened was that the Qin and the others had just arrived in Egypt's territory and had not attacked for a long time, the scouts came back to report that the Romans had sent troops again, just like last time, and the number of troops sent was not large this time.

"Grandma, the Romans are really not afraid of death, and they actually sent troops again!"

Philip V was of course very disappointed after receiving this news. After all, Ying Gao only got him 50,000 people, and these 50,000 people could not be used as cannon fodder. In the real important battle, he had to use his own people more. In this way, the situation he ended up in the same way as his last time.

But this is not the time when he should be timid. No matter what, it is very necessary to fight a battle with the Romans, and Philip V just didn't believe that he was inferior to the Roman consul in commanding the war.

In order to fight against the Romans, Philip V divided his soldiers into three parts, and the cavalry of the Qin and the Huns were arranged on one side, so that they could not only exert their own combat power, but also not use them as cannon fodder, which was the best arrangement that Philip V could make.

The battle between 200,000 and 200,000 people will definitely be very heavy unless one side does not want to fight like the last time Philip V, otherwise the casualties will be very heavy.

This time it was obviously like this. Because of the presence of soldiers from the Great Qin and the Huns, Philip V naturally could not stop trying it out loud. Or if he lost, it was not the responsibility of the Great Qin and the Huns, but all of them were the responsibility of his own improper command.

This battle was destined to be a war different from before, but it turned out from a simple war in which Egypt asked for help from the Romans to a battle in which Rome and Macedonia had to decide the outcome.

According to the previous situation, Macedonia had some advantages because it was facing the Romans' cannon fodder at the beginning. However, when all the Romans' real main forces were devoted to the war, Philip V finally felt the difficulty of the war.

The Daqin and the Hun cavalry who participated in it were also discovered for the first time that the Romans were really a little difficult to deal with. After nearly half a month of fierce fighting, both sides had lost tens of thousands of troops. After this period of battle, the Romans also knew how far the Qin and the Huns participated in this battle.

The Qin and the Huns sent a total of 50,000 troops, which was no different from the previous battle between himself and Philip V for the Roman consul.

He didn't know if Philip V had seen the essence of this matter at this time, but he had already seen it.

In the eyes of the Roman consuls, this was just a time when the Qin and the Huns took out only 50,000 troops, which caused a fierce battle between Rome and Macedonia to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

The Roman consul had already seen the ambition of the Qin Dynasty. He knew that in essence, the Qin Dynasty definitely did not want to join forces with any force, but now they were with Philip V, so what the Qin emperor did would not be able to share the world with Philip V one day. His idea would be to take down Rome and Macedonia, and then stand in the whole world.

If this battle could consume 100,000 elite troops from the Romans and Philip V, then even if the 50,000 people from the Qin and the Huns lost 10,000 or 20,000, it would not be a big deal.

After seeing this, the Roman consul temporarily changed from the original offensive momentum to the defense. Of course, he also knew that if he retreated now, then all the territory of the Mediterranean region would belong to Philip V. He could not allow such a situation to happen, but in the same way, he could not allow the Roman elite soldiers to waste on Egyptian land like this.

Philip V did not expect so much. When he saw the Romans' offensive weakened, he was still very excited. After all, the Romans must be a little higher than themselves in strength now. If they had maintained such a strong offensive, sooner or later, they would end up with a very bleak ending. Such a war obviously would not allow him to completely win the trust of the Qin and the Huns, who were his ally.

After the Romans moved from attack to defense, although the war continued, the casualties were little by little. In this way, time gradually disappeared, and finally one day, Philip V could not stand it anymore.
