Chapter 635 Survival of the fittest

Because they have been very strong in all aspects recently, the Roman consuls are very important in the Roman Senate. His ideas are generally very recognized by the Senate, but this time they are really a bit bold, so they are a little surprised.

"How confident are you?"

Finally, after their shock lasted for a while, an elder asked the question that should be asked the most at this time. Indeed, the Romans and the Macedonians had been resentful for a long time. If they could take down Macedonia at this time, it would be a very good time, because the Qin Dynasty was very calm during this period. If they took down Macedonia at this opportunity, Rome would be able to concentrate on dealing with the Qin Dynasty in the future, and they would definitely have many advantages in terms of region.

"This time we have caught Philip V off guard. Although we have lost a lot of people, we still have subsequent troops. Moreover, based on these three battles, we have fully learned about the Macedonian routines. At that time, we will capture several cities outside Macedonia. With Philip V's temperament, I will definitely not be able to defend the city. As long as he sends troops, I will have the confidence to destroy him!"

The Roman consul said this time. When the Roman cavalry attacked the place, even if the Macedonians could not defend it, they would have just been in vain. They knew that the Roman consul would definitely not make any impulsive decisions. If Philip V did not believe that evil had to fight with the Romans on his territory, he would basically have a price for revenge.

Indeed, no matter who it is, if you think about it carefully, you will know that at this moment when the Romans faced the Macedonian army led by Philip V himself, he had achieved three consecutive victories under the same circumstances, it was indeed a very likely time to go further.

If we could take advantage of the situation to take down most of Macedonia's territory at this time, it would be like an extra layer of guarantee for Rome. Otherwise, when Philip V recovered and knew that he and the Qin teamed up to defeat the Romans, the Romans would not have such a good opportunity.

Of course, this is not within Ying Gao's previous budget. The Qin Dynasty was growing, and the Romans were growing rapidly in the battle with Philip V and the Qin Dynasty. Such growth left the conflicts within the Romans that had already appeared a little before. The Romans united like never before, and the fallen consul also grew faster than before.

Such growth made the Romans always think that they were about the same strength as the Romans on the one hand, and on the other hand, they would definitely not be afraid of the Romans when they joined forces with the Qin Dynasty. Such thoughts actually harmed Philip V, making him completely unaware of how dark the world was, and he did not realize that there was only one force left between Rome and the Qin Dynasty, and now it was time to start preparing for the future.

In short, this era is the same as all other eras, and it is nothing more than four words: survival of the fittest.

The Roman consuls finally gathered a lot of people again in the Roman land, and then headed straight for Philip V's territory.

This was something that Ying Gao did not expect, but also Philip V did not expect. After Philip V withdrew from Egypt to Macedonia, he thought he could have a good rest, but it was not long before he arrived in Macedonia. Later, he received a notice from his younger brother's forces. The Romans gathered many troops from somewhere and followed them to attack. When he learned the news, they were already attacking this force that was attached to Macedonia.

This news did make Philip V a little confused. He hadn't figured out why Meng Tian took people to the Roman land, but the Romans didn't care at all. However, when he attacked Egypt, the Romans had to fight with him without hesitation.

Now the Romans actually followed themselves to a place that was about to reach Macedonian territory. So what the Romans wanted to do was of course self-evident to Philip V.

So at this time, Philip V had at least two choices. Whether to lead the army directly to fight the Romans or build fortifications in the city of Macedonia, this was a big problem for Philip V.

If this were put before, Philip V would definitely not have any concerns, but would just send troops to the end. In Egypt, the Romans took their younger brother to beat him, but now it was his turn to beat them with his younger brother. He should have had no worries, but the three consecutive failures really made Philip V feel a little afraid.

He thought about it and kept swaying between sending troops and defending. In the end, he made a compromise choice, which was to reorganize troops in his own city, while writing a letter to Meng Tian, ​​who should be attacking the Romans at this time, for help.

Meng Tian has been working with the Romans' younger brothers. Although he knew that if he really attacked with all his strength at this time, he would definitely be able to take down the city, but he would not only lose his troops and lose his generals in this way. In the end, when Ying Gao arrived, he could not divide his troops to guard here, and he still had to withdraw with his troops. So Meng Tian remained patient and kept observing the movements of the Romans and Philip V.

The Romans and Philip V fought again on the Egyptian territory, which was something that Meng Tian was very happy, because this was exactly the result Ying Gao wanted. They fought. Meng Tian did not withdraw immediately for the effect of his play, but continued to inquire about the news here.

The following news surprised Meng Tian a little a little. The battle ended with the victory of the Romans. Meng Tian had predicted it before, but after the victory, the Romans did not stop their progress, but directly attacked the Macedonian land to take the result. However, what Meng Tian did not expect before was not in Ying Gao's previous plan.

Since the Romans had just taken their troops and horses, they would definitely have enough confidence in themselves, and Meng Tian could imagine that the Romans had won Philip V three times in a row. This only shows that Philip V's routines and abilities had been understood by the Romans. Now they are not afraid of fighting with you Romans, because they have a great confidence to defeat them.

Things have deviated from Ying Gao's previous plan, which requires Meng Tian's own analysis. Meng Tian certainly knows that Ying Gao's ultimate goal is to cause more casualties and injuries to both sides. Now that the Romans have hit the territory of Macedonia, Meng Tian knows very clearly that he has to let both sides do it with real swords and guns, otherwise even if the Romans go, but go back later, it will have no effect on the Qin Dynasty.

With this idea, Meng Tian received a letter from Philip V. What he said was that he didn't know why the Romans were not fooled at all. Not only did they concentrate all their superior forces on the Egyptian territory, but after winning the battle of Egypt, they also chased directly to Macedonia's territory. However, Philip V also said that this is the best time to destroy the Romans. He hoped that Meng Tian could take the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty and give the Romans a double-sided attack with him.

After thinking carefully, Meng Tian came up with a solution. He called the messenger sent by Philip V, and told him directly to let him go back and tell Philip V that he must resist first and not be cowardly. When he returns to Seleu, he will bring all 100,000 people with him. This time he must teach the Romans a bloody lesson.

This was exactly what Philip V had been happy to hear before. When he heard that the Qin Dynasty was as happy to help him beat the Romans, he went back happily to report that Philip V had left.

After the envoy of Philip V left, Meng Tian ordered that we, who were not worthy of the Romans, act here. Haven’t we discussed with Philip V? Now we have to go back, why do we go back? Of course, we should gather the 100,000 troops and help beat the Romans.

But as he said, Meng Tian was very slow in commanding the march. The other thing was not bad, but the difference was time. If Meng Tian could really arrive quickly with his 100,000 troops, it would naturally be a helping force for Philip V, but if Meng Tian left a little late, it would not be fun for Philip V.

Philip V naturally didn't know the little thoughts of Meng Tian and Ying Gao. He still believed that the Qin Dynasty would definitely put the weakening of the Romans first, rather than put himself in front.

After receiving Meng Tian's affirmative answer, and after learning that Meng Tian had already led his 50,000 people to set off after hearing the news, Philip V felt unprecedentedly confident in his heart. He felt that if he was still timid in this situation, he would not be the monarch of Macedonia. With his younger brother in front of him and Da Qin in the back, he would of course have to show off himself well.

Needless to say, Philip V's order was to send troops, and he took his younger brother to face the Romans head-on. It would take not long for the Qin people to arrive. As soon as the Qin people arrived, wouldn't the Roman cavalry be able to capture them?

With this idea, the two teams fought together, which was exactly what the Roman consul wanted to see.

But after Meng Tian returned to Seliu, he was so slow that he didn't know how to grasp the details. Suddenly, he got the news that Ying Gao would arrive at Seliu's territory in a few days.

Although Meng Tian had guessed that Ying Gao might come here in person before, he still did not have much expectation for this matter. He thought that Han Xin might come to complete all Ying Gao's tasks.

Since Ying Gao is about to arrive, Meng Tian will certainly relax. With Ying Gao in charge here, he will no longer have to make decisions on everything at his age.

Four days later, Ying Gao arrived in Seliu's territory according to his plan, of course, very secretly. No one except Meng Tian knew about this.

"What, the Roman consul led his troops to attack Philip V's territory?"

When Meng Tian saw Ying Gao, he didn't even greet him. He told Ying Gao about the matter he was doing, which he didn't know how to deal with. Meng Tian didn't want to keep carrying the blame. If he couldn't handle it well, not only did he not let both forces consume a lot of troops, but instead let others see Ying Gao's intentions, Ying Gao's series of operations would be wasted.

"Yes, the Romans were very cautious before, but this time they didn't know what happened, so they actually started to attack Philip V's territory, because the emperor had stated in his letter that our main purpose at this stage is to consume the living power of both the Romans and Philip V. Now we can indeed let them continue to fight. As long as they start a war, they can consume their troops, so I am a good idea to agree to them first."

After Meng Tian finished speaking, he looked at Ying Gao with a little nervousness. After all, he didn't know whether the decision he had made before could play the role he expected.

"Yes, the general did this very rightly. What we want to see now is the life-and-death battle between them. Since the Romans dared to attack Philip V, it means they have confidence that in such a situation, we can neither be villains nor the Roman plans cannot be realized. However, we must seize the opportunity to send troops to support Philip V."

Immediately afterwards, Ying Gao asked Meng Tian to inquire about the number and location of the Romans' attacks, and began to take over everything about Seleu himself.

In Ying Gao's eyes, Seleu was not as comfortable as the Qin and the Mauryan Dynasty. After all, Antioch III was a monarch who knew the wars in the south and north, and had no requirements for how to live comfortably.

After Philip V sent troops, he fought with his younger brother and the Romans at the same time, and the battle lasted for several days.
