Meng Tian had nothing to say about whether Yinggao was still in the most dangerous city, because he knew that Yinggao obviously would not go back to a safe place because he said something, and he came only because Yinggao wanted to know the real situation of the soldiers under his command.

"What are the casualties of our army and the enemy in this near-time battle?"

The problem of casualties is naturally Yinggao's greatest concern, because Yinggao knows that since the enemy used a large number of ladders, from time to time there will be enemy warriors who have successfully ascended to the city, and the Romans have a lot of equipment, hooks and locks and other things are widely used, and from the third day, Daqin's soldiers began to have casualties.

"In the past few days, the enemy army has taken turns to attack, and within a few hours the sergeants who attacked our city will be replaced to rest, because they have at least 200,000 troops, so they are not worried about the problem of insufficient troops, but our army has eliminated at least 50,000 enemy troops, and our army has more than 10,000 injuries, most of which are Hun cavalry who are not good at defense......"

It was still very easy for Meng Tian to say such a result, after all, seeing that the enemy had been eliminated by at least one-fifth of himself, this made Meng Tian still have some confidence to fight.

"If we continue to fight, I'm afraid our soldiers will lose even more, right?"

Of course, Yinggao doesn't have to think about whether he will give Meng Tian face or not, in his heart the trend of fighting is like this, whether it is Meng Tian or anyone else, he will definitely not be able to achieve fewer casualties than before in the next ten days, and let the Romans have more casualties than before.

"That's right, but we can at least hold on for as much as 20 days, if there is still no news of General Han Xin within 20 days, I think the enemy's casualties will be more than half, and the difference between the number of our army and the enemy will probably not be very much, and when our army's baggage is about to run out, instead of letting the enemy attack our city, it is better to use the remaining soldiers to go out of the city by surprise and fight with the enemy, so that even the hundreds of thousands of horses and horses that our army defended the city before are all lost, The Romans will definitely not have the power to attack anymore, and I hope that the king will think about this matter for a long time! ”

Ying Gao knew at a glance that the heart in Meng Tian's heart that was eager to attack was not defeated even in such a long time of defending the city, although Meng Tian had successfully completed the task of defending the city at this time, but what he really thought about in his heart was always when was the good time to go out of the city and fight back.

Ying Gao knew that Meng Tian, as a very mature general, would definitely not attack for the sake of attacking, since he dared to bring up this matter in front of him, it means that this matter must have a lot of feasibility in his heart, so Ying Gao also thought about the feasibility of what Meng Tian said, and finally said lightly: "After a while, the general will come here again, and I will have my own decision at that time." ”

Meng Tian knew that at this time, even if he said it, Yinggao couldn't directly agree to these things, so he could only leave, of course he knew in his heart that if the people left in the city after twenty days were far less than the remaining Romans, Yinggao would definitely not allow him to do that.

The next twenty days were undoubtedly very difficult for the defenders of Daqin, although the Romans suffered heavy losses in the early stage, but these were all losses within their plans, and the defenders of the Seleucians were mainly less than 50,000 Daqin soldiers, and the Daqin soldiers died one, which was one less, except for them, whether it was Macedonians or Huns, they were not able to operate skillfully.

As expected by the Roman consuls, in the case of heavy losses at the beginning, they lost fewer men and horses every day than the previous day, which shows that the defensive routines of the Great Qin people have been thoroughly understood by them, as long as they persist and hold on until the Great Qin's city defense equipment is almost consumed, they will naturally be able to break through the city gate of Great Qin, and he knows that he is getting closer and closer to this day.

The only thing that made the Roman consuls a little incomprehensible was that the Great Qin people had to deal with themselves in the city, but they didn't go out of the city to face themselves when their troops should not be much less than their own.

I can't understand it, I can't understand it, the war has been going on to such an extent, he really doesn't want to fight the Great Qin people head-on, and now the momentum of this war is obviously being pulled back by the Romans little by little, in this case, of course, he thinks about whether he can directly enter the city and use the psychological advantages of his soldiers to end the war directly.

Everyone has their own abacus in their hearts, but everyone also knows that the opponent's abacus is definitely different from their own.

At this time, there was a tense atmosphere everywhere in several cities of Seleus, although Great Qin had only occupied Seleu for a long time, but the policy of Great Qin made the people of Seleu regard Great Qin as a place where they could belong for a long time.

Zhao Gang was under house arrest by Yinggao in a mansion in the same city as him, although he could not leave the courtyard, but the discussion of the sergeant guarding him could reach his ears from time to time, he knew that this city was now under fierce attack by the Romans, and even the sergeant guarding him did not know how long this city could last, and the emperor of Great Qin was now in this city.

"He really didn't leave? Zhao Hu is here, so to speak...... I made a bet with him, did I guess right? ”

Zhao Gang sat alone in the room, and after muttering all this, he sighed slightly, he didn't know if Yinggao would care about him if the city was broken, and if he escaped in that case, would he wait for him to return to that village and wait for him to be punished by Qin Law, after all, he walked all the way without a pass, it can be said that he completely violated Qin Law, even if he didn't die, he didn't know how long he would spend in the conscription.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gang really hoped that these soldiers of Great Qin would be able to hold this city, even if the other party was Zhao Hu who wanted to let himself join them, but after all, he was a Roman, a foreign race.

When Zhao Gang was thinking about it, his door suddenly opened, and the footsteps of several people appeared in his ears, and he knew that the person who came was Yinggao, the emperor of Great Qin, because Yinggao had ordered Zhao Gang's door when he left, and only he could enter and exit at will.

"How can you have time to come to me? The war outside is what the king should pay more attention to, right? ”

After the first two exchanges, Zhao Gang already knew that Yinggao was a person who didn't like chatter very much, although he was the emperor of Great Qin, but he didn't seem to care very much about those red tape, but more about whether you were telling him the truth.

"When it comes to fighting, I only need to set the general direction and goal, this is my accusation, and it is the duty of the soldiers to go into battle to kill the enemy and command the battle, I have appointed the soldiers, naturally I have to believe in them, here, I just want to inform you, I have won the bet with you before, you have won, the Roman army has been attacking under the Seleucus for a long time, and Zhao Hu is also among them, so all the things you have committed before that violated the laws of Qin, I will pardon you, and after you go back, you will be an ordinary person in the village, But if you violate Qin's laws again in the future, I won't pardon you again. ”

Although Yinggao's words were not without warnings, Zhao Gang's heart was suddenly relaxed for a while, it was like pressing a big stone before, after all, he did not only do a little bit, as the elite of the dead soldiers under Zhao Gao before, he already didn't know how many tasks Zhao Gao gave him, and now, Yinggao waved his hand, and didn't ask him what he had done before, and directly pardoned him, of course, it made him very useful.

"Since I can return to that village, I will naturally live there, and with me, not only those children, but everything in this village will be well blessed."

Zhao Gang is not a person who can speak well, and he also knows that it is difficult for him to gain Yinggao's trust again with such an identity, and it is already a great compliment for him to continue to live in the land of Daqin as a person he wants.

"Since you have this idea, when you go back, I will let you be the leader of this village, if you really want to do your part for my Great Qin, you naturally know how to do it."

As soon as Yinggao's words came out, Zhao Gang couldn't help but admire Yinggao a little more in his heart, what he thought about before was completely the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and the emperor didn't want to worry about what he did before with him.

And Zhao Gang said before that the reason why he came here was to protect Liu Bang's child, Yinggao is enough to know that the relationship between himself and Liu Bang's child is extraordinary through these, it is in this situation that Yinggao still believes in himself, which means that he really let go of Liu Bang's child, and he let go of Liu Bang's child not to make a name for himself in the territory of Daqin, but because he really doesn't want to kill such a young child, in other words, he thinks that if he is an innocent person, he will not hurt it, Zhao Gang thought about it for a while, but he didn't expect which monarch was like this.

"Although the king is relieved, whether it is the people or Lizheng, I am a member of Daqin, not for which person to serve."

Zhao Gang's assurance, obviously made Ying Gao very satisfied, he nodded slightly, and left a sentence: "If I retreat from this city, I will take you with me, but the probability of such a situation is very low!" ”

After saying this, Yinggao walked out of the courtyard with Shi Shiran, not at all able to see that this city was being besieged by 200,000 of Rome's most elite warriors at this time.

With the passage of time, the casualties on both sides every day have been getting closer and closer, the Roman ladder is very strong, once it is erected on the wall of Daqin, it is very difficult to destroy, before destroying the ladder, there will always be a lot of enemy troops climbing from the ladder to the head of the city, killing some defenders, fortunately, this situation did not happen on a large scale, the Huns and Macedonians who are not very good at operating Qin crossbows and trebuchets are staring at the ladder that has been set up on the head of the city, and have never let the Romans climb up on a large scale.

The twenty days that Meng Tian said to Yinggao had passed in a blink of an eye, and compared with the beginning, both the offensive and defensive sides were already very tired.

But even in this case, the losses of the Romans still did not exceed 100,000, and more than 20,000 of them were not their own elite soldiers, but the soldiers who were attached to them who were engaged in the dirty work.

The Romans could afford such a loss, and after almost a month of effort, they had eliminated nearly 50,000 defenders.

The Roman consul seemed to have seen that the defenders were about to run out of ammunition, and he told his generals that the enemy would most likely stop defending and flee in an instant.

His guess was indeed very accurate, among the people lost by the Great Qin defenders, nearly 20,000 were Great Qin's own cavalry, in other words, there were more than 20,000 of Great Qin's real own soldiers left, and the rest were Huns and Macedonians.

And not only that, the arrows of the giant Qin crossbow and the round special trebuchet stones have been almost consumed, and according to the statistics of the defenders, they can last for three more days at most.

According to Yinggao's prediction, if everything goes well, Han Xin's side should have been over the battle for a while, and if the Romans send the news to their consul as soon as possible, the time should be almost up.

But now, judging by the aggressive momentum of the Roman attack, it is clear that they do not yet know what Rome is facing, and as long as they do not know, the threat of the Seleuces will always be there, and there is nothing else around here that can distract the Romans.

"Your Majesty, after three days, if you don't agree with us going out of the city to meet the enemy, you can only withdraw to the territory of the Peacock Dynasty, the enemy army still has at least 100,000 elite soldiers, once you cover the territory of the Peacock Dynasty, I am afraid that there will be a lot of life along the way!"

Obviously, Meng Tian was making a last effort in front of Yinggao, and he definitely didn't want to just withdraw and leave the entire Seleuche to the Romans, after all, there were still many warriors in the city who had the strength to fight.
