Chapter 658 The Darkness Before Dawn

Ying Gao went to the city wall again during this time. His purpose was to see what the soldiers guarding the city were like. In other words, Ying Gao also knew how long the harvest equipment in his city could last. He had to know whether these three-part warriors were prepared to fight with the enemy without the advantage of the number of people.

"If you go out of the city to meet the enemy, how sure are you? The Huns are led by Jibu, who will lead the Macedonians? Once you are defeated after leaving the city, we will lose the opportunity to retreat to the Mauryan Dynasty and then give the enemy a fatal blow. Have these generals ever thought of it?"

Ying Gao said this, obviously there was a way to do this. Meng Tian was energetic at that time. Of course, he would consider how the less than 100,000 remaining troops would deal with the Romans outside the city who were tens of thousands more than him, otherwise he would not have said his own truth in Ying Gao's red mouth and white teeth.

"Your Majesty, it's hard to say that the Macedonians beat others, but if you ask them to fight the Romans, there is no need to mobilize them at all. They have a deep hatred for the Romans and believe that without the Romans, Philip V might have been the largest force in the world. Therefore, my plan is to let the Macedonians be the vanguard of this battle out of the city. The battle to defend the city in the past few days has basically not allowed the Macedonians to participate. They are now full of energy and will definitely give the Roman cavalry a warning at that time!"

Meng Tian said this, which made Ying Gao believe that he had done his homework before coming, and even thought about the formation of troops. Now he may be missing only one Ying Gao nodded.

"I have never said that you are not allowed to go out of the city to fight the Romans, but I only have one requirement, that is, if you go out of the city, you must be at least 50% sure. In this way, the general must be far more than 50%. Therefore, I agree to this matter, and I will supervise the battle above the city to see how our three defenders beat the Roman cavalry again."

Before, Meng Tian felt like a pot lid was covered with a pot, and she always felt that she was pressed out of breath, but at this moment, he finally felt that he was energetic again.

"Your Majesty is so kind that you are standing on the top of the city. If I can't fight this battle well, I won't have to be a general of the Qin Dynasty anymore!"

After saying that, Meng Tian walked to Ying Gao with great strides, spread a map on the table in front of Ying Gao, and introduced his plan to Ying Gao with a roar.

Of course, Ying Gao knew what kind of mission Meng Tian was. Although he was nominally a general guarding the Great Wall, every time the Huns attacked outside the Great Wall, he would lead his army out of the city to fight. Even now, many Huns were still a little scared when they saw Meng Tian, ​​which shows how big the shadow he had caused to the Huns.

After Meng Tian introduced Ying Gao, he walked out happily with Ying Gao's praise. He knew that the next one or two days would be very important to him. Although the strategy he and Ying Gao proposed seemed very pleasing, everything was based on the premise that the enemy did not know their plan. What he had to do now was to make the enemy feel that they were about to run out of ammunition and food. Only in this way would they have a chance to make a splash when facing enemies with a number of stronger than their own.

Such a tug-of-war is a waste of effort for the commanders of both sides. The same is true for the Roman consul. He always feels that the Qin army should be out of ammunition and food, but the news he gets early in the morning is still very strong. He shoots arrows when he should shoot arrows, and throws stones when he should throw them. Occasionally, a few Romans kill the enemy on the top of the city. They will also kill the attacked enemies in an orderly manner, without any panic at all.

But one of the news made the Roman consuls have a little idea.

That is, among the defenders they killed, there were both Macedonians and Huns. In fact, the Roman consuls could understand it, because Philip V was not in Macedonia, and the city of Macedonia was very empty, and it was obvious that their troops were on the territory of the Qin Dynasty when he attacked.

However, given the arrogance of the Qin Dynasty mentioned by Zhao Hu, the people of the Qin Dynasty had to use the Huns to defend the city when they had so many troops, which was a bit less like the style of the Qin Dynasty.

As soon as he learned about this, the Roman consul found Zhao Hu, told Zhao Hu about these things, and asked Zhao Hu what his understanding of the Qin Dynasty could represent.

Zhao Hu was originally quite bored because of the dullness of the war, but after hearing the consul's inquiry, he became a little excited at that time. He thought of someone, and all this might be the surprise that this person brought to him.

The person Zhao Hu thought of was naturally Zhao Gang. He even always thought that Zhao Gang had extraordinary abilities, but he was suppressed by Zhao Gao. In addition, Zhao Gang had a taciturn personality, so he had never been seen by everyone.

Since Zhao Gang promised him to take Liu Bang's children to Pei County to instigate the rebellion, and the Roman consul had received news that Ying Gao was very likely to be no longer in Seleu, this means that Zhao Gang had done what he asked Zhao Gang to do.

But in this case, if Zhao Gang could go further, it would definitely make Ying Gao take a lot of soldiers back. How big a splash can be made in such an anti-Qin incident depends entirely on Zhao Gang's ability. If Zhao Gang had the ability, it would be possible to recreate Xiang Yu's formation at the time.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Hu seemed to see the emptiness in Seliu City. Since the Huns who were not good at defending the city had been used by them, of course, it would not be too long before they could break through the city.

"In my opinion, we should increase the offensive efforts. I think the people of Daqin will not be able to hold on in the past few days. This time, the Emperor of Daqin returned to the territory of Daqin and must have drawn a lot of elite soldiers and generals from this Seliu. If we can take this opportunity to conquer Seliu, even if we go further, we will directly seize the Mauryan Dynasty and even threaten the territory of Daqin!"

Zhao Hu's statement was really coincidental with what the Roman consul was thinking. So he ordered that more troops should be invested on this day to attack, use all the ladders he brought, and to kill the defenders in the city as much as possible.

Suddenly, the pressure of the defenders suddenly increased, and Meng Tian naturally received the news as soon as possible, but this change did not make him feel uneasy. In his plan, the more troops the Romans invested to attack, the greater the possibility that his next plan would be successful.

Meng Tian’s order was like this. No matter how powerful the passion was used, they only needed to help him stay here for another day. After that, they would no longer have to guard the city.

The guards of the city were indeed something that the soldiers were very reluctant to do. Instead of facing the enemy who would rush up and when would be broken, they would rather leave the city and fight with the enemy with real swords and guns. Even if they were killed by the enemy, they would die clearly.

Now, Meng Tian has told them that he would give them such an opportunity to follow him out of the city and fight with the Romans to the death. Whether it will succeed or not, nor will he wait for Han Xin to hear from him. In other words, if the Romans are really repelled this time, it will be entirely the merit of this team guarding the city. This merit is very great. It will stimulate the remaining soldiers here and make them fight for the exclusive enjoyment of this merit.

Especially the Macedonian cavalrymen, Meng Tian had told them that if they were vanguards, if they could really play the expected role, Ying Gao would give them permanent residence in the territory of the Great Qin and the opportunity to directly obtain the first-level title of the Great Qin.

Although they were very reluctant to leave their homes, Philip V had already surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, and Macedonia's territory could only become an accessory to the Qin Dynasty. Once the Qin Dynasty could defeat these main forces of the Romans in this battle, the Qin Dynasty's land would be the most relaxed and happiest place in the world, not to mention the first-level title in hand.

The Macedonians heard from the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty that if they could get a first-class title in the territory of the Qin Dynasty, whether it was a mansion, a field or a maid, they were all equipped by the emperor, and they were no longer much better than ordinary people.

For a time, this goal became the yearning for almost all Macedonian soldiers. Meng Tian said very clearly. To achieve this goal, they only need to meet two conditions. The first is to help Meng Tian defeat the Romans in this battle, and the other is to survive after the war. As long as they are living people, they can take their wives, children and parents to the land of Daqin to live.

In Meng Tian's arrangement, the main function of the Macedonians was to accidentally disperse the formations of those who were attacking Seliu City under the city. Subsequently, the cavalry of the Huns and the Qin Dynasty were dispatched to give the Romans a double blow.

After all, things have developed to this level now, and the Romans have already attacked more in front and rested less in the back.

If the battle in this month is placed in other places, it is enough for two months or even three months, because the Romans attacked Seleu day and night, and there was almost no stop in this month.

This is the Great Qin, where Meng Tian and Ying Gao were in charge. If it were any other force in the world, Ying Gao knew that it would be impossible to defend for such a long time. The Great Qin's family was very rich. In addition, Ying Gao had thought of these things before. So since the occupation of the Mauryan Dynasty, the most exquisite offensive and defending weapons, armor and heavy weapons were almost all transported to the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty. After occupying Seliu, a large part of these were transported to Seliu. If there were no such things, even if there were 200,000 troops, they might not be able to really defeat the Romans.

What Ying Gao and Meng Tian didn't know was that this battle would be a battle destined to be recorded in history after it was over. Ying Gaogeng would not know that the fundamental reason why this battle was won and that the Qin Dynasty could finally establish its rule over the world was attributed to its unparalleled plateau vision.

At this time, Ying Gao was thinking about whether Meng Tian was reliable and whether he could really achieve combat effectiveness against the enemy. If he could not, he would be embarrassed. He could only escape to the land of the Mauryan Dynasty under the escort of 200 guards. If this matter was reflected in history books, it would not be very good to write.

Although it was already midnight that night, there were still shouting and killing outside the three cities of Seleu. The Romans' offensive continued. Not only did the horse not weaken at all, it was a little more fierce than before.

Just ten days into the night, the Roman consuls were informed by the generals who were commanding the siege. Although the defenders in the city were well concealed, they still felt that the density of the arrows and the things thrown were much less than before. What does this mean? Naturally, it means that the defenders' equipment may not be enough, or their personnel could not hold on with such an attack.

After learning the news, the Roman consul seemed to have seized the dawn of his victory, which was almost exactly the same as what he had predicted before. Everything means that he may not be far from victory. And as far as he knows, the Qin Dynasty almost placed all the elites here. Once it was broken by him, the entire Seleu fell into his hands, not even the Mauryan Dynasty could be involved.

Therefore, the Romans' attacks that night seemed like crazy, but the Roman consul did not know that Meng Tian was expecting such a crazy and fierce attack on the city.

Indeed, there were so fewer defenders on the city wall than before. Facing the almost crazy enemy, they knew that they might not be able to hold on for too long, but what Meng Tian told them before was that as long as they could hold on for two hours, even if they succeeded, they themselves knew what their companions were doing, so they were gritting their teeth and persevering.
