Chapter 660: Late News

At this point, Ying Gao would not claim that he was so noble. If he was the Roman consul at this time, he would have made the same choice. Ying Gao believed in this point. This is the monarch. When he controlled the Qin Dynasty, these decisions were what he had to make.

"What are the wars that the Lord and the Roman consuls have done and launched? Is it not good for both sides to stop their troops and live a peaceful life on their own territory?"

Tian Yan obviously still couldn't understand the fierce battle, and continued to ask. Ying Gao looked at the land under the city that was already red with blood, looked up at Tian Yan, whose face was already a little rosy, and replied directly: "Since you lived in the mountains and forests in your early years, you will naturally know a truth. You cannot accommodate two tigers. This is not determined by these two tigers, but the survival rules of nature are like this. The same is true between the world we are in now."

Ying Gao's words made Tian Yan's thoughts suddenly return to her when she was training in the mountains. She thought of seeing many wild beasts fighting among them, and the first time she was hungry, she had no choice but to kill an antelope seriously injured because of fighting with her companions, and then had a delicious meal of barbecue.

Indeed, Daqin and Rome were available in such an era, but no one would choose to make themselves the injured antelope. Chasing victory is not what they demanded, but if you do not pursue victory, what awaits you will only be failure or even death.

Tian Yan had been doing something for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh. She defeated the little bit of obsession in her heart as a delicate woman. Now, she has become that cold-blooded killer again.

After Tian Yan calmed down, he took the opportunity to look underground. Of course, her eyesight was far better than Ying Gao. When she saw it, she discovered some different things at that time.

"Justice, why does it seem that there is some chaos behind the enemy's army? It seems... the Roman consul wants to retreat? Do they finally know that they can't defeat us?"

"Oh? Is this happening?"

When Ying Gao heard Tian Yan's statement, he quickly stood up and looked forward. Sure enough, he found that there was some commotion on the other side of the moat where the Roman consul was located. Many people were running towards the place where the battle in the city, and where the people and horses passed, many soldiers who were fighting actually began to retreat.

"This is definitely not because the Romans could not defeat the soldiers led by General Meng Tian, ​​but because there was some news from the rear. If I expected it was correct, it should be that General Han Xin's news finally reached the ears of the Roman consul, otherwise nothing would have made him so panic."

Ying Gao stood up suddenly, obviously very excited. If Han Xin's news could really be heard at this time, it would undoubtedly be a decisive moment for Daqin, which means that their persistence here during this period was not in vain.

Ying Gao sent several of his own guards out of the city to find out the news, and spread the news to Meng Tian, ​​Ji Bu and others. If the enemy suddenly retreated, they must not chase them and all retreated to the city and standby.

Under the city, Meng Tian and Ji Bu, who were in a very difficult battle, also discovered the abnormality of the enemy. The enemy who were originally focused on killing the Qin defenders, didn't know what was going on at this moment, but suddenly they all seemed to be about to withdraw from the battle. This made the Qin defenders a little unresponsive for a while. Except for killing some retreating enemy troops, they didn't know whether they should chase after them. If they didn't chase them, it would be a pity in this situation. But if they chased them, they did stop and find that the person they found out that they were even struggling to walk. Basically, each warrior was only mechanically waving his weapons.

"General, the emperor has an order. If the enemy retreats, let them retreat. The general will quickly return to these three cities and standby, and must not forcefully chase after them!"

Just when Meng Tian and Ji Bu were all thinking about whether to chase the good or not, Ying Gao's order was sent out of the city in time. Although Meng Tian and Ji Bu were already a little killed and didn't know whether the order was south, west and north, and whether Ying Gao's order was right or wrong, they all knew that they had to obey it. So the two integrated the remaining troops, and after confirming that the enemy had indeed retreated hastily, they simply cleaned the battlefield and then returned to the city.

Almost all of the defenders of the Qin Dynasty breathed a sigh of relief. If they really fought like this, it was not the question of how long they could repel the enemy, but how long they could last. After all, the number of enemies was still a little higher than them. When it came to this point, the number was everything.

The defenders won a very valuable opportunity to stop bleeding, but the situation on the Romans was not that good.

"Justice, why did we withdraw? Even if the losses this time were really heavy, the defenders of the Qin Dynasty could no longer support them. Their losses were much heavier than we did! In a few more hours, Seleu will be our Rome!"

The order to retreat was obviously given by the Roman consul. When the soldiers fighting in front returned to him, they were really incomprehensible about such an order and couldn't help but ask loudly.

"This time we have to retreat. I just received the news that we were captured by the Qin people. Just when we captured Macedonia and Seleu, the Qin people had already sent a force to our Roman territory. The general guarding the city asked us to go back to rescue quickly. I don't know how long it took for this letter to come here. If the Roman land was captured by the Qin people, we would have no time to turn over!"

After saying this, almost all the generals were stunned. They recalled the defense they encountered while attacking here during this period. At this time, some seemingly unusual things finally had some reasonable explanations.

They were a little strange at first, wondering why they obviously had at least the same number of troops as theirs, but why did the people of the Qin Dynasty keep guarding the city tightly, instead of fighting against them like before?

Also, why did the Qin people use the troops of the Huns and Macedonians? This seems to be answered now, that is, most of the troops of the Qin people were sent to attack Rome, and their defenders here were just a team that was pieced together.

But it was obviously not a fact that they were willing to believe that such a team that had been blocking the main Romans' forces here for so long.

Now, after the news that made the coldness rise in their hearts came, many generals didn't know what kind of heart they should deal with this matter.

They all knew, but they didn't dare to say that if the Qin people had already defeated Rome like they did when they fought against Macedonia, what awaited them would be an almost impossible battle.

But although they have now occupied the main cities of Macedonia, they cannot stay on the land of Macedonia because of this, because Rome is their homeland and they have their families. They can give up Rome, but they cannot give up their own families.

So no matter whether the Romans had been attacked by the Qin people or not, they had to go back. Almost everyone's mind was that if they died, they had to die.

The Roman consul brought his team to Macedonia as fast as possible. After the previous bloody battle, he had tens of thousands of troops left. In addition to the previous troops stationed in Macedonia, he had raised a total of 100,000 people. After that, regardless of how many defenders left in Macedonia, he set out directly for Rome.

Rome was a bit far from Seleu. The news reached the ears of the Romans. I don’t know how much time it had been. The next day, Ying Gao also got the news that the Romans had fled in Seleu’s city. He knew at that time that this must be Han Xin and the others were passing on the ears of the Roman consuls, and there would be no other possibility.

But Ying Gao also knew that just because of the current situation, Han Xin and his friends would definitely not have been smooth in Rome, because if everything went well, Han Xin's news should not even come slowly than the Romans. But now, Han Xin did not send the news with the Romans at least, which means that when the Romans sent the news, Han Xin was still fighting with the Romans, and he must have encountered very serious resistance.

But no matter what the final result of Han Xin in Rome was, Ying Gao was unable to send troops to support him. If Han Xin encountered the situation in Rome that the Romans encountered in Seleu, at most, neither Qin nor Rome could destroy each other for the time being, and it would be enough to fight again in a few years. In short, no matter what, Ying Gao was already invincible, so he was not in a hurry.

To be honest, this time the lineup sent by Ying Gao to Han Xin was almost the most powerful of the Qin Dynasty, and the military genius Xiang Yu participated. All the soldiers were the most elite of the Qin Dynasty, the Huns and Macedonia. Ying Gao believed that even if the Romans retained a lot of people on the Roman land, Han Xin and Xiang Yu would not be as miserable as the Roman consul in Seleu. If that were the case, Rome would not have known that the year of the Monkey and Horses would have been able to attack.

Although they were basically fighting for the battle in Seleu, there were still some people in the Romans in Macedonia. Although the combat power of those people may not be very strong, if Han Xin still couldn't do it, it would not be a good thing.

Of course, only Han Xin and Xiang Yu knew what the situation was like on Han Xin. At this time, Han Xin and Xiang Yu were still somewhat different from Ying Gao.

"General, why don't we send the news back to Seliu as soon as possible? So that the Lord of the Lord knows how far we are here, otherwise, the Lord of the Lord will be very anxious to wait!"

The person who said this was Philip V. Because he was afraid that he would cause any unnecessary trouble in Seleu, Ying Gao also asked him to form three giants with Han Xin and Xiang Yu, and brought his men to the Roman land.

"Your Majesty knows how much we are going here is important, but what is more important is to get the enemy back from the battlefield where they attack Seleu."

After Han Xin answered Philip V, Xiang Yu also smiled slightly from the side, then nodded. He followed Philip V to attack the Romans along the way, letting Xiang Yu know why Philip V's Macedonia appeared to be no worse than Rome on the surface, but when the war really started, it was an ending of repeated defeats.

Almost all Philip V was worried about along the way. Whether Ying Gao would be like this or not, whether Ying Gao would be like that, and such questions, in Macedonia under his jurisdiction, he was concerned about what the monarch thought, not how they were facing at the moment. If it weren't for this, the previous disputes between Macedonia and Rome might not have been like this.

Seeing that Philip V still didn't understand, Han Xin could only sigh slightly before explaining to him.

"When we attacked the Roman city before, their situation was already a bit dangerous. Under such circumstances, the Romans would definitely send their own troops to inform the Roman consuls at the fastest speed. When the Roman consuls learned what happened in the Roman land, they would naturally give up attacking Seleu. At that time, Seleu would naturally be safe. If we send people to inform the Lord later, the troops we sent would probably meet the enemy's return, which would only increase casualties."

Philip V nodded and expressed his agreement with Han Xin's statement. Of course, he spent most of this trip playing such a role.

At this time, Han Xin turned to Xiang Yu and asked with a serious expression: "Shanyu thought it would be a bit risky for us to insist on waiting here?"
