Chapter 634 The Romans' Thoughts

Before, the Roman consul had a whisper in his heart. He knew that Daqin would never let his soldiers lose it for no reason, so he did not care about Meng Tian, ​​but just continued to strengthen the inspection in other directions. He knew that if his guess was accurate, the real main force of Daqin would definitely go to other places to try to give him a fatal blow.

After Meng Tian's attack lasted for a while, seeing that the Romans were still not moving, and letting themselves attack the city, Meng Tian felt a little relieved, because this was the same as what Ying Gao said before. If the Romans did not respond to Meng Tian's attack, it means that they must have seen some clues about this matter, which means that Ying Gao's plan was basically successful.

Under such circumstances, Meng Tian continued to pretend because he knew that he would definitely get the attention of Philip V. If Meng Tian was not attacking, Philip V would not send troops, right?

The thoughts of Philip V and the Romans were already touched by Ying Gao. Philip V only saw Meng Tian attacking there with a fierce attack. After that, he seemed to have encountered some great difficulties, so he completely calmed down. He excitedly led a large wave of troops that he had already prepared to Egypt.

Egypt has become a frightened bird this morning. Although they are a little weak, they are not fools. Of course, they know that Philip V has been coveting this part of his territory for no reason. Therefore, although the Romans helped them solve the problems in front of them both times, they did not relax at all. Sure enough, this time, before Philip V could attack their territory, they had already discovered them.

After discovering what they could do, they naturally informed their elder brother, the Romans as soon as possible. After all, the Romans had officially recognized the Egyptians as their younger brothers.

"What? Philip V actually made his mind to Egypt again? It seems that this time the attack of the Qin Dynasty was just to cover Philip V's men. Philip V was the main master this time. I think he had invested a lot of troops in Egypt this time. If Egypt and the Mediterranean region fell into the hands of Philip V, they would definitely divide the Mediterranean with the Qin Dynasty. We will be very passive at that time!"

After the Roman consul knew about this, he immediately understood Philip V's intention, and his idea was also very obvious, that is, Meng Tian's 50,000 troops would basically not cause any harm to the Roman land, but Philip V was not sure about it, so it was still very necessary to go to rescue Egypt for the third time.

What's more, with the experience of the first two times, the consul of Rome was very confident that he could defeat Philip V again for the third time.

In this way, everything went on the direction of Ying Gao's plan. Whether Philip V got from his scouts or Meng Tian's mouth, the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty suffered a strong blockade under a city. The soldiers defending on the city wall were very likely to be elite soldiers under the Romans. In this way, Philip V naturally led his army to directly attack Egypt.

Although the Egyptians informed Rome in time, because their younger brother's city was attacked by the Qin cavalry and the Roman consuls who prepared many sergeants did not need to prepare much to take these sergeants out, it was still a little late, causing Philip V's army to rage on Egypt's land for a period of time.

Just when Philip V thought that when the Roman cavalry arrived, he had no idea how long he had captured Egypt, the Egyptians suddenly appeared with Roman cavalry.

When this scene appeared in front of Philip V, Philip V was a little confused at that time. He didn't know what this was and why a large number of Roman cavalry should have appeared at this time.

But no matter how many things you don’t understand, Philip V must know that he cannot retreat, because of the defeats in the previous two battles, whether it was the Qin Dynasty or Rome, or even many Macedonian generals had begun to think that his combat effectiveness was not as good as the Romans. This was a situation that Philip V firmly refused to allow him. In fact, he had always been holding on to an idea in his mind, that no matter when he arrived, he would definitely fight with the Romans, and at least let his generals know that their Macedonian cavalry were definitely not more powerful than the Roman cavalry.

But although he thought so, Philip V would definitely not be this time when he wanted to prove himself, because at this time his idea was to quickly occupy Egypt.

It's best to be fine, but when things come, we can't be afraid of things. This is Philip V's creed. So after encountering this situation, he did not withdraw his army, nor did he think about why the Roman consuls appeared here instead of resisting the attack of the Qin Dynasty. All his thoughts became how he defeated the army in front of him.

Under Ying Gao's director, three identical wars rarely appear in this era happened like this. The Romans believed that they would win this battle for granted, while Philip V believed that he could win a city at this time, so that Rome could truly decline.

War depends on people, especially in this kind of war where both sides have very positive ideas. As the saying goes, they can be repeated again and again, but not again and again. This time the Macedonian cavalry themselves came with a little bit of desperate momentum. They didn't want to lose to the Romans for the third time, so in this battle, they showed their energy more than the previous two battles.

The spirit of the Macedonians was brought out, and the Romans naturally became difficult to fight. They suddenly discovered that the Macedonians, who had only three tricks before, had become very resilient. The Macedonians' ability was actually no worse than that of the Romans. They just had a slightly weaker ability to resist the strike after suffering setbacks. In the words of later generations, it was a psychological problem.

But today, the Macedonians seemed to have suddenly overcome their psychological problems. They were not afraid of the charge of the Roman cavalry, and they were actively launching offensives. The Romans were able to throw them off their armor after a few rounds of charges, but this time it was completely out of place.

In the view of the Roman consul, although the men led by Philip V this time should be Macedonian cavalry on the surface, most of the people who can have such an effect are the shadows of the Qin and the Huns. Combined with Meng Tian's previous feint attack on his own peripheral forces, this action is definitely not the idea of ​​Philip V alone.

For the Romans, the more they were not Philip V's idea, the less they could not let their plans succeed easily, otherwise they would face the attacks of at least two forces in the future.

So this is a battle that no one can afford to lose, and no one can bear the consequences of the failure of this war.

The fierce battle was exactly what Ying Gao was looking forward to in the distance. Philip V and the executives of Rome knew that while they were fighting hard, Ying Gao, the initiator of this incident, was already slowly rushing to Seleu.

Although Ying Gao didn't know the specific result of this war, what he knew was that if he was stupid enough to wait for the result of this time, the food would be cold when he arrived at Seliu, and basically he would have nothing to do.

So at this time, regardless of whether his plan is achieved or not, Ying Gao must set out so that he can know the result of this war when he arrives in the Seleu realm. If it is really the same as his previous plan, then he naturally doesn't need to say anything and just follow the situation he has set before. If the situation is not the same as Ying Gao expected before, Ying Gao himself still has many backup plans.

In this war, Ying Gao was obviously the one who controlled the chess game behind the scenes, but Ying Gao was not sure whether this game could finally play Ying. What he could be sure of is whether everything was developing according to his expectations. He knew that with the urinary nature of Philip V and the Romans, the situation should not always be developed according to his expectations. It is inevitable that there will be any mistakes in it. It depends on his own changes on the spot, which is also the real reason for his coming here.

The Macedonian cavalry could not defeat the Roman cavalry, and there was no doubt that the two forces had their differences in hard power, which had already achieved a very definite result in the Macedonian war in previous lives.

So in this case, the Romans will definitely win in the end, and this winning point is already thought of, but what he wanted to win was a terrible victory, rather than a victory that directly beat Philip V to run away.

Philip V did this, and this battle lasted longer than both previous battles, and the total number of casualties was higher than that of the other two battles.

Philip V suffered a loss because his hard power was not as good as others. Moreover, this time he should have been able to successfully attack, so he didn't bring any younger brothers.

You don't have a younger brother, but the Egyptians are the younger brothers of the Romans. They must have done a very smooth job of blocking gun holes. In this way, they caused a lot of losses to the Roman consuls. Philip V finally had to admit that even if he lost all his army this time, it would be useless, and he would not be able to do this well. The final result would be to become a commander-in-law and then return to Macedonia in shame.

The loss this time was already very great. The only thing that Philip V was more grateful was that the Romans suffered a lot. Although he still didn't defeat Egypt, if he wanted to retreat, the Romans would not be able to catch up, right?

With this idea, Philip V withdrew his Macedonia, but what he never expected was that the Romans who seemed not to follow him all the way to shake him.

Although the three wars did not completely hurt the Romans, the Roman consuls really felt very distressed. What he didn't know was whether Philip V would do such a thing again or several times. Although the Romans had military strength, they still couldn't afford to spend it with him.

From this time on, things have developed somewhat as Ying Gao had expected, but for Daqin, it may not be completely bad.

At this time, the Roman consul left all the people and horses he had brought to Egypt before in Egypt, and he rode a fast horse back to the Roman land. This time he came back, obviously, there was a very important matter to discuss with the people in the Senate.

"What? Macedonia has a very deep foundation. It is very possible for us to defeat it in one or two battles, but it is probably very difficult to destroy Macedonia, right?"

As soon as his opinion was expressed, several of the senators in the Senate were basically infuriated. The senators believed that he could defeat Philip V with Roman cavalry, and they had three times in a row, but they never believed that they wanted to destroy Macedonia.

"Since Philip V can attack Egypt three times in a row, he will definitely have a fourth and fifth time. Whether we need to use elite troops to rescue Egypt every day? In the long run, we will not know how many soldiers we have lost in the Egyptian territory. If we continue several times, it is better for us to concentrate our superior forces and directly destroy Macedonia. In this way, even if we will suffer a lot of losses, we can once and for all. After destroying Macedonia, we can occupy some key cities in the Macedonia's territory before. In this way, we can also make some targeted arrangements for the Qin Dynasty. Now Macedonia lies between us and the Qin Dynasty, and is an ally of the Qin Dynasty. It is not a long-term solution for us!"

The consul of Rome never said so many things, but today he made an exception, which is enough to show how strong he has for this time.
