Chapter 663 Final Battle
Originally he thought this was just an ordinary order, and although they seemed to be at a slight disadvantage in the battle with this part of the Great Qin people, once a new force of 580,000 came from the capital of Rome, they would definitely be the winner of this battle, and there was basically nothing to question.
But after giving this order, the hesitant attitude of the leader among the small team couldn't help but make the Rome consul frown.
"What's wrong with you? Why don't you tell me quickly? If you lose this battle, all of their main players in Rome will be lost here!"
Although the Roman consul had a vague feeling in his heart, he still suppressed his anger as much as possible and explained the power of these things to the leader.
"This... In fact, after an attack by the Great Qin cavalry, although they were repelled, there were only one or two thousand war-capable soldiers left in the capital. The situation was also the case in the rest of the cities. The generals who defended the city sent us here to find our Roman army. In fact, they were afraid that before the army returned, the Roman city was attacked by the Great Qin soldiers. The few soldiers who defended the city could not fight in one go!"
Speaking of this, the man finally knelt down in front of the Roman consul. It was not because he deliberately concealed it. He was really making trouble for himself after he told the result.
After hearing this, the Roman consul was almost standing on the spot. He finally knew why the generals who stayed in the capital could defend the capital and the main cities of Rome. It was not their guards at all. The people of the Qin Dynasty had never wanted to capture these cities before. The fundamental purpose of the people was to consume all the defenders he left in Rome. If there were no defenders, those cities and empty cities would be no different. They could seize them whenever they wanted.
His hand holding the hilt of the sword almost wanted to draw the sword and kill the waste in front of him, but killing this person at this time would harm him and not benefit him from commanding the last battle. As an excellent monarch, he had commanded countless battles of all sizes of the Romans, so this situation was not expected to happen.
"Whether you can live after this battle depends on how many enemies you can kill in this battle."
After throwing this sentence, the Roman consul turned around and walked back. It was inevitable that this battle would last for a while. What the Roman consul could do now is to let the generals under his command know the seriousness of the facts, and then take a twelve-point spirit in this matter.
"The troops under our command are already the battle-capable soldiers of almost all the Romans who are left. The Qin cavalry deliberately consumed only the defenders in our city but did not capture the city. The purpose is to concentrate our troops to intercept us here. If we are defeated in this battle, Rome will no longer exist!"
Without any concealment, the Roman consul said all this in front of almost all his generals.
When everyone heard this, they all took a breath. You know, this is a war at the door of Rome, at your own door, but the enemy is like blocking you here. This feeling will be very aggrieved by a general.
But the Roman consul had obviously not finished speaking. He would not ignore any of his generals after he had just finished attacking. Since he had taken power from the Roman Senate, he would naturally be responsible for the Romans to the end. However, the Qin people played a little deeper tricks. The hard defense there was actually to buy time for the offense here, and the offense here was actually ambushing here without panic. Who gave the Qin people so much courage? The Roman consul still didn't understand it at this time.
"But now we are not at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. Although the people of Daqin are cruel, they are also covered in scars after fighting in our territory for so long. And as long as we kill all the troops of Daqin, we will destroy almost all the elites of Daqin. Although we also suffer heavy losses, they can no longer organize a decent entry. Whether to destroy or achieve the future depends on this battle!"
These words indeed aroused the anger that had been suppressing in the hearts of the Roman generals. Faced with the current situation, they all felt that they were being played by the Qin people. If they continued to attack Seleu and did not come back, not only would Seleu and Macedonia be theirs now, but they might also be able to get involved in the Mauryan Dynasty, but now, they were actually being cursed by their own letters of help to such a dilemma, which is naturally very embarrassing.
When the arrogant people feel embarrassed, their potential can certainly be stimulated a lot. This is exactly the purpose of the Roman consul. This battle is not only the ultimate battle in the eyes of Han Xin and Xiang Yu, but also in the eyes of the Romans?
Although the Romans may be at a disadvantage for the time being, once this battle comes back, the threat from the Qin Dynasty will be lifted within a long time.
Through several previous battles with Daqin, the Roman consul had already put away his own arrogance. He knew that Daqin had the strength and combat power no less than the Romans, and any force that despised Daqin could only have one result, that is failure.
After this encouragement, the soldiers regained a lot of vitality. After that, the consuls decided on several combat plans based on their understanding of the nearby terrain. The core purpose was of course to consume the Qin people as much as possible. Moreover, they knew that this battle had to be killed to the extent that one of the two sides had no ammunition and food to stop. For the Romans, they had already arrived at their doorstep and could not escape when they were at a disadvantage. For Han Xin and Xiang Yu, the ultimate goal of their troops this time was to this battle. This battle was a battle to dominate the world of the Qin Dynasty. Even if they died, they would not give up this battle easily.
Han Xin and Xiang Yu were very successful in designing and preparing for this battle, so they had not had much time to start the war, and they had gained a lot of advantages, and the situation seemed to be very good.
But Han Xin knew that no matter how relaxed they were before, no matter what the outcome of this battle would be, this battle would be the final battle. Since it was the ultimate battle, no matter what kind of opponent you face, he would not easily let the lives of a dynasty under his rule, himself and his men be easily taken away by the enemy. At this time, no matter what kind of skills the Roman consuls and generals had, they should have used it.
"Chhanyu, after our start is over, we will face a counterattack from the Romans. Our army is composed of three parties. The biggest weakness is that we fight to a certain extent. Since it has reached the most critical moment of this battle, I hope Shanyu will not think about the various things between the Qin and the Huns. Shanyu was originally a Central Plains people. This is a battle of the world ruled by the Central Plains people. Only when you and I work together sincerely can we completely kill the Roman consuls!"
One night, Han Xin and Xiang Yu had just heard the rewards from the generals in front, and Han Xin said to Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu of course knew what Han Xin meant. Since they had come to this battle, the next question to consider was naturally how Ying Gao would arrange for Xiang Yu and Philip V after this battle.
Han Xin knew that Philip V was definitely not something he could say in just a few words, but Xiang Yu was different. Han Xin knew that Xiang Yu's state of mind had been trained by the Xiongnu Shanyu for several years, and he was no longer the boy who had been determined to destroy the Qin Dynasty in Jiangdong.
Through the previous drinking and chatting with several of Xiang Yu's confidants, Han Xin guessed that Xiang Yu's biggest wish at this time was not to take the Huns under his command to have their own huge land card, but to be able to return to the hometown of Chu as a Central Plains man and return to the place where his ancestors shed their blood for Chu.
But Han Xin also knew that Xiang Yu still had a certain popularity and appeal in the former land of Chu. Whether he could make him fulfill his wish depends on what Ying Gao thought in his heart. He definitely couldn't do this master, but what he could do was let Xiang Yu know that no matter what was waiting for him after this war, he had to take down the war before he could be qualified to talk.
Although Han Xin said something obscure, his meaning was already very obvious. As the head coach of this battle, no matter whether it was a loss or a win or a victory, there was definitely no possibility of running away in this battle. He must win this battle, or directly let himself die here, and there was absolutely no third possibility.
After hearing Han Xin's words, Xiang Yu just chuckled and shook his head.
"The general values this battle, but I am not the same. This is no longer the war between the Qin Dynasty and Rome, but the war between us Central Plains people against real foreign races. Whether I am a Central Plains or a Hun Shanyu, this battle must be won. If the Romans cannot be destroyed this time, the waiting for the Qin Dynasty in more than ten years will definitely be an unprecedented catastrophe!"
Xiang Yu expressed his determination from his own perspective. After hearing this, Han Xin nodded slightly and then began to formulate the next tactics with Xiang Yu. According to the rewards of the generals fighting in front, the Romans had gradually stabilized the situation at this time, and they consciously attracted the Qin army in one direction. Although this was not the direction of the Roman city, Han Xin and Xiang Yu still keenly realized that if they were led by the Romans, they would probably be very likely to fall into an unfavorable situation in the subsequent battle.
Han Xin and Xiang Yu's worries are obviously not without reason. Although they had a certain understanding of the surrounding terrain when they came, they had just arrived here for a few days, but the Romans have lived here and nearby for generations. If you get used to being arrogant in this regard, it will definitely cost you a heavy price in the end.
"Justice, the enemy is following our retreating steps northward. In less than a day, we can reach that place."
Only after the Roman consul who led the team at the forefront of the team received the reward from his generals, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He and his generals knew that even the Roman nobles who had left the city basically knew that there was a swamp in the place they were about to go, full of poisonous snakes and crocodiles, and once they stepped into the swamp, no one could save you.
Among the Romans' team were sergeants who were very familiar with this place. They knew how to pass through this swamp. When they passed, they could watch the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty dying one by one in the swamp and the viper crocodile inside.
The power of nature has always been very huge, and the Romans also deeply understood this. After such a swamp, no one could see any difference after swallowing 10,000 or 20,000 people. Those who are not familiar with the path here will definitely have no possibility of survival once they walk in.
With the right time, place and people, any of these elements can achieve unexpected results after being applied to the extreme. The current Romans obviously want to make good use of the advantages of the territory. This way, if successful, it can even make the tens of thousands of troops of the Qin Dynasty disappear invisibly.
Although this method sounds a bit despicable, the Roman consuls couldn't control so much at this time. No matter what the method was, if you could destroy the Qin army in front of you and then let your troops escape from heaven, then that would be the best way at this time.
Because he retained some of his strength to recover faster, and then he went to seek revenge from the people of the Qin Dynasty as quickly as possible. Yes, these consecutive traps and defeats had left a heavy shadow in the heart of the Roman consul. He had already made up his mind that as long as he did not die, he would live in time to destroy the Qin Dynasty in his life. If the Qin Dynasty is not destroyed, he would die with his eyes.
