Chapter 542: Complete Expulsion (First Update)

"General, this city has been occupied by the enemy army I don't know when, the arrow tower and the city are all enemy troops, what should I do?"

Seleuc's chief general soon received the news that his city was occupied by others, which he never expected, although it was a general under his command who was attacked by Daqin and almost wiped out, but he still didn't believe that Daqin's soldiers could have so many strategies, let alone that they had so many troops, so the facts were already in front of him, and he didn't believe it.

He still has the basic qualities of being a general, although he still has four cities in his hands before, but since this has been beaten down by others, the other three will definitely not be spared, after all, he is careless, and he still knows what the guards in this city are when he leaves.

The chief general of the Seleuche finally had to admit the fact that before figuring out how many centaurs were here of the alien race that occupied Fahrenheit, I am afraid that a large part of the cities they had eaten before would be spit out to others.

If he didn't spit it out, fighting this night of bloody battle, he knew that none of the 100,000 troops he brought out would be left back, and the losses caused to others might only be 50,000 or 60,000 people, such a war Antiochus III would not approve, 100,000 troops are definitely a big deal for the Seleucians, although they have developed over the years, they can be regarded as a large number of generals, but they are not a dynasty that casually threw away 100,000 troops.

"Order, don't fight for these cities for the time being, and retreat to the cities that were occupied by our army before."

Without even going to see if the other three cities were really occupied by the cavalry of Great Qin, the general decisively gave the order to retreat, and the retreating cavalry of the Seleucians retreated like a tide in the direction of their dynasty after receiving the order.

I have to say that every decision of this Seleuc's chief general is correct, and if he makes a wrong decision under such circumstances, the 80,000 army he leads will face the risk of annihilation.

And the only wrong decision he made was that he didn't have enough understanding of the Great Qin cavalry led by Meng Tian, but took it for granted that they didn't have many cavalry, so when he found out that Great Qin actually had a lot more cavalry than 100,000 people, he didn't make any corresponding preparations in advance.

As soon as the Seleucians retreated, they immediately got the news after Meng Tian in the back, and at this time, Long Ji, who had rushed to the front line from a city at the rear, had also joined Meng Tian, indicating that his mission had been completed.

"General, the cavalry of the Seleucians thought that they knew that they would definitely lose to our army this time, and they had already retreated backwards, what should I do at this time?"

It was also at this time that Peng Yue, who was detecting in the front, came back and informed Meng Tian of the enemy's movements.

One is that he himself knows that his age is a little bit old and does not allow him to fight with young men in his twenties, and he looks quite bullish when he goes into battle, but he doesn't know how many guards are needed to guard him desperately to avoid accidents.

Rather than that, of course, it is better for him to coordinate in the center, so that the battle situation can also be reported to him as soon as possible, so that he can make decisions as soon as possible, just like now.

"Tonight is to let these people of other races know that my Great Qin has full control of the land of the Peacock Dynasty, and it is not that they can occupy some of it if they want to, and they will chase after it, unless it withdraws from the territory of the Peacock Dynasty, otherwise they will fight with it!"

Meng Tian also knew about the enemy's combat effectiveness, and what he wanted in his heart was to solve the problem here at one time, instead of waiting for the enemy to rebuild the defense line in several other cities, and repeat this action by himself, in that case, the damage caused would definitely be greater than today, and it would be much greater.

"If you pursue like this, the distance is not far, and the physical strength of our army ......"

"If our army's physical strength can't support it, the enemy's physical strength can only be more weak, after all, they have run a lot more distance than our army, if they can't complete the battle this time, and then want to drive them to their own territory in the future, I don't know how many more soldiers' lives will be spent."

only said such a sentence lightly, Meng Tian made Peng Yue, who raised the question, speechless, but Peng Yue not only did not have any displeasure, but was very useful to Meng Tian's statement.

Just this time with Meng Tian to send troops, Peng Yue felt his progress, as a general, he deeply felt that his pattern and vision on the battlefield were still lacking a lot, this time, it was Meng Tian who taught him a deep lesson.

"General, the 30,000 horses of my Huns have been arranged in these four cities, and now there are only 5,000 behind me, so it is better to gather them together......"

"No, once there is any change in our army in the front, the defenders in these four cities can still cooperate in the rear, otherwise our army will not repeat the mistakes of the Seleucians before?"

Meng Tian's consideration made Long He also very grateful, after all, the 30,000 troops that Long He brought were the cavalry of the Huns, and the cavalry of Daqin had been competing with the Seleucian cavalry before, and Long He also knew that the cavalry of Daqin would definitely have a lot of losses in such a battle.

In this way, Meng Tian still let the Xiongnu cavalry guard the city, and the Great Qin cavalry led by himself went to the front to face the Seleucians, and let the Xiongnu cavalry guard in the city, I have to say that Meng Tian still did not have the slightest selfishness when commanding the battle, what he wanted was just the victory of the battle.

In this way, following the direction of the retreat of the Seleuk cavalry, the cavalry of Great Qin pursued all over the mountains, which was a very rare chase battle, and this large area of flat land above the Mauryan Dynasty fulfilled such a battle for them.

Because the actions of the Great Qin cavalry were more light, it took a while to shorten the distance between them and the Seleuc cavalry, so that the Great Qin cavalry in front could use the miniature Qin crossbow they carried immediately to shoot the Seleuk cavalry in front, although it could not bring ten great casualties to the Seleucian cavalry, but in this way, the impact on their morale was very great.

After this news reached the ears of the Seleuc general, he didn't know what he should do for the first time, he originally thought that Daqin's cavalry would not use such a mad dog-like trick against him, and the cities he wanted to withdraw were not far from the territory of the Seleucid Dynasty, and he didn't expect that Daqin's cavalry would have such courage to keep chasing him.

What to do?

At such a close distance, their cavalry could not hide in the city safely, and he knew that there were not many reinforcements in those cities, and even if they entered the city, it was estimated that they would be broken by others before they could be arranged.

Turning over and killing back, this idea did not appear in the heart of the Seleuc general, but he knew it after a little observation, and now whether it is from the perspective of physical strength or morale, it is better to kill back without running and directly fight with Daqin's cavalry before.

After thinking about it, he finally knew something about the other party's purpose.

"Could it be that these aliens want to completely drive my Seleucian army out of the territory of the Mauryan Empire?"

As soon as he thought of this, the chief general of Seleuche basically had the bottom in his heart, of course he could think that if he was the monarch of Great Qin, and he finally won such a big Peacock Dynasty, he would definitely not let other dynasties interfere.

"General, do we really want to withdraw to my Seleucid Empire? If that's the case, all the attacks I've been waiting for during this time will be in vain. ”

After the main general thought of this layer, he hurriedly gathered several generals under his command to his side, and informed several other generals of his idea, although he is the chief general of this team, but there is one thing that is very important, that is, such a big matter of withdrawing troops, if he makes a decision privately, Antiochus III will definitely not give himself any good fruit to eat after he goes back, so this kind of thing, it is still necessary for everyone to decide together, even if Antiochus III is not satisfied, At least it's a situation where the law doesn't hold the public accountable, isn't it?

When these generals heard this, of course they were not very satisfied in their hearts, and they tried their best to persuade Antiochus III to attack the Peacock Dynasty, and finally got the strong support of Antiochus, but now they have been beaten back by others, which is really a bit unreasonable.

"Now the situation is very clear, the strength of this alien sergeant who occupied the Mauryan Dynasty is really very strong, it has greatly exceeded our previous prediction, from the perspective of strength alone, these sergeants brought by us are far inferior to the other party, and the combat effectiveness of the opponent's cavalry is also strong, in this case, if we lose these cavalry, in case this alien race attacks my Seleucian, wouldn't the monarch be very passive?"

The words of the Seleuc generals are very true, and it is just a time to postpone their defeat, and it is harmful to their dynasty, and at this time, those generals are silent, and they really already know what kind of combat power the enemy is, and in this case, they finally agreed to run back to the Seleucid dynasty directly from here.

"What if the enemy's cavalry followed us into the Seleucid realm?"

"No matter what the cost, I will keep all these cavalry on the Seleucid territory! It's one thing to drive us out of the Mauryan Empire, it's another thing to attack our Seleuc Dynasty! ”

When faced with this question, the general's tone was as if he was not running for his life now, but chasing the other party for his life.

Meng Tian had studied the map of the Mauryan Dynasty very clearly before he set out, and when he found that the enemy army in front of him had passed by the cities that had been occupied by them before the Seleucians, he knew that his mission this time might be considered a successful one.

"Order, pursue for another thirty miles, stop no matter what!"

"Why stop, our army has already caused a lot of damage to the enemy army by using the Qin crossbow, if we can continue to pursue, the enemy will definitely lose its vitality in the end!"

The biggest militant in this is Long Ji, although this time Long Ji only brought 5,000 Hun cavalry, but they held the Qin crossbow supported by the Great Qin cavalry, and used their skilled horsemanship to run at the front of the team, and the Seleuc cavalry shot was already countless.

At this time, Meng Tian suddenly said that he would stop after thirty miles, and in Long Ji's opinion, he was simply leaving the enemy's head and not harvesting, of course, he had to raise a little question.

"If you go further, you will be close to the territory of the Seleucians, although our army is brave, but the Seleucians can easily send an army of 100,000 to capture the city of the Mauryan Dynasty, and it is unknown how many cavalry are hidden in the territory, plus our army is currently very tired, so naturally it is impossible to reach their territory."

At the same time as a big victory, Meng Tian maintained a very rare calmness, which made Long He still feel a little pity in his heart, but he did not say anything else to refute.

After thirty miles of the city, it was less than a hundred miles away from the border of Seleuc, and the chief general of Seleu finally received a notice at this time, and the cavalry of Great Qin stopped.

"It seems that they really don't want my Seleucian army to get their hands on the Mauryan lands they occupy. Quickly return to our dynasty and inform the monarch of this matter, this has occupied the foreign race of the Mauryan Dynasty, and it really cannot be taken lightly. ”

By this time, the war that had swept the entire northern part of the Seleuc Dynasty had finally come to an end, and the end of this war also meant that the Seleuc Dynasty's idea of wanting a piece of the pie from the hands of Great Qin was basically completely broken.

In fact, after Seleu occupied several cities of the Mauryan Empire, some small dynasties in the surrounding area were also watching, once they found that Seleu occupied many cities of the Mauryan Dynasty and no one cared about it, then there would be more and more forces that wanted to get a piece of the pie.

But obviously, Meng Tian and the cavalry he led with more than 100,000 people have told all the large and small forces around the Mauryan Empire through this battle, if you want to think about the land of the Mauryan Empire, you still need extremely strong hard power, as for Seleuc, it is not enough!
