Chapter 660: Belated News

At this point, Yinggao will not advertise how noble he is, if he was a Roman consul at this time, he should have made the same choice, Yinggao is convinced, this is the monarch, when he controls Daqin, these decisions are what he must make.

"What is the purpose of all these wars that the king and the Roman consuls have done, and is it not good for both sides to call off their armies and live in peace on their own borders?"

Tian Yan obviously still couldn't understand this tragic fight, and continued to ask, Yinggao looked at the land under the city that had been stained a little red with blood, looked up at Tian Yan, whose face was already a little ruddy, and replied directly: "Since you lived in the mountains and forests in your early years, you will naturally know a truth, one body cannot tolerate two tigers, this is not determined by these two tigers, but the law of survival of nature is like this=, and the same is true between the world and the world we are in now." ”

Yinggao's words made Tian Yan's thoughts seem to return to the time when she was training in the mountains and forests, she thought of the fight she saw between many wild beasts, and remembered the first time she killed an antelope that was seriously injured because of fighting with her companions when she was hungry, and then ate a beautiful barbecue.

It is true that Great Qin and Rome can choose in such an era, but no one will choose to let themselves become the wounded antelope, chasing victory is not their own request, but if you don't chase victory, what awaits you can only be defeat, or even death.

Tian Yan took a long breath, and finally let out a long breath, she overcame the little obsession in her heart as a delicate-minded woman, and now, she has become that cold-blooded killer again.

After Tian Yan calmed down, she took a look underground, of course, her eyesight was far better than Yinggao, and she found something different at that time.

"Your Majesty, why does it seem that there is some confusion in the rear of the enemy's army, it seems to be ...... Did the Roman consuls want to withdraw their troops? Do they finally know that they can't beat us? ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? ”

As soon as Ying Gao heard Tian Yan's words, he quickly stood up and looked ahead, and sure enough, he found that on the other side of the moat, there was some commotion at the location where the Roman consul was supposed to be, and many men and horses were rushing towards the place where the = city was fighting, and where those people and horses passed, many soldiers who were fighting actually began to retreat.

"This is definitely not because the Romans couldn't defeat the soldiers led by General Meng Tian that they retreated, but because there was some news from the rear, if I expected it to be correct, it should be that the news of General Han Xin finally reached the ears of the Roman consuls, otherwise there would not be anything that could have made him so panicked."

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

Yinggao sent a few of his own guards out of the city to inquire about the news, and sent a message to Meng Tian, Ji Bu and others, if the enemy suddenly retreated, they could not chase after them, and all of them withdrew to the city to standby.

Under the city, Meng Tian and Ji Bu, who were engaged in a very difficult battle, also discovered the abnormality of the enemy army, and the enemy army who was originally bent on causing casualties to the defenders of Daqin, at this moment, I don't know what was going on, and suddenly all of a sudden, it was as if they were about to withdraw from the battle, which made the defenders of Daqin a little unresponsive for a while, except for tailing and killing some retreating enemy troops, I don't know whether they should catch up, if they don't chase, it is indeed a pity in this situation, but if they chase, They did stop and found that the Subject himself was struggling to walk, and that almost every warrior was left with mechanical wielding his weapon.

"General, the king has an order, if the enemy retreats, then let them retreat, the general and the rest of the sergeants quickly return to these three cities to standby, and do not force them to pursue!"

Just when Meng Tian and Ji Bu were all thinking about whether this matter was good or not, Yinggao's order was sent out of the city in time, although Meng Tian and Ji Bu were already a little killed, they didn't know whether Yinggao's order was right or wrong, but they all knew that they had to abide by it, so the two of them integrated the rest of the people, and after making sure that the enemy was indeed retreating in a hurry, they simply cleaned up the battlefield, and then returned to the city.

Almost all of Daqin's defenders breathed a sigh of relief, if they really fought like that, it was not a question of how long they could repel the enemy, but how long they could hold out, after all, the number of enemies was still a little more than them, and when it came to this point, the number was everything.

The defenders had a precious opportunity to stop the bleeding, but the situation was not so good on the Romans' side.

"Your Majesty, why did we withdraw, even if the losses this time were really a bit heavy, but the defenders of Great Qin could no longer support it, and their losses were much heavier than we don't know yet! In a few hours, Seleuc will be our Rome's! ”

The order to retreat was obviously given by the Roman consuls, and when the soldiers who had been fighting in front returned to him, they were really incomprehensible to such an order, and they couldn't help but ask out loud.

"This time we have to retreat, I just received the news, we fell for the strategy of the Great Qin, just when we captured Macedonia and Seleuc, the Great Qin people have already sent a force to the territory of our Rome, the general who defended the city asked us to go back to the rescue quickly, I don't know how long it has been since this letter arrived here, if Rome itself is captured by the Great Qin, it will be difficult for us to turn over!"

After saying this, almost all the generals were stunned, and their minds recalled the defense they had encountered when they attacked here during this time, and by this time, some seemingly unusual things finally had some reasonable explanations.

Originally, they were a little strange, wondering why they obviously had at least the same number of troops as themselves, but why did the Great Qin people keep guarding the city to the death, instead of fighting with them like before?

And why the Great Qin people would use the forces of the Xiongnu and Macedonia, which seems to have been answered by them now, that is, most of the forces of the Great Qin people were sent to attack Rome, and their defenders here were just a patchwork of troops.

But it was such a patchwork of troops that kept the main forces of the Romans here for so long, which was obviously not a fact they wanted to believe.

Now, after the news came that made them feel cold for a while, many generals didn't know what kind of heart they should use to deal with this matter.

They all knew it, but they didn't dare to say that once the Great Qin people had already defeated Rome as they had fought Macedonia, what awaited them would be an almost impossible battle to win.

But although they have now occupied the main city of Macedonia, they cannot remain on the borders of Macedonia because of this, because Rome is their homeland and there are their families, and they can give up Rome, but they cannot give up their own families.

Therefore, regardless of whether the Romans have been attacked by the Great Qin people, they must go back, and almost all of them have in their hearts that if they die, they must also die to understand.

The Roman consul brought his team to Macedonia as quickly as possible, and after the previous bloody battle, he still had tens of thousands of men and horses left, plus the men and horses stationed in Macedonia before, a total of 100,000 people, and then he didn't care how many defenders were left in Macedonia, and set off directly for Rome.

Rome was a little far away from Seleuc, and the news reached the ears of the Romans, and they didn't know how much more time it had, and the next day, Yinggao also got the news that the Romans had fled in the Seleuche city, and he knew at that time that it must be Han Xin's actions over there that had reached the ears of the Roman consuls, and there would be no other possibilities.

But Yinggao also knew that in view of the current situation, Han Xin's actions in Rome would definitely not be smooth sailing, because if everything went well, Han Xin's news should not even be slower than the news of the Romans, but now, Han Xin at least did not send the news with the Romans, which shows that when the Romans sent the news, Han Xin was still at war with the Romans, and he must have encountered very serious resistance.

But no matter what Han Xin's final result is in Rome, Yinggao is also unable to send troops to support again, if Han Xin encounters the scene that the Romans encountered in Seleuc, then at most, no one can destroy anyone in Daqin and Rome for the time being, and it will be enough to fight again in a few years, in short, Yinggao is already invincible, so he is not in a hurry.

To tell the truth, this time Yinggao sent Han Xin to the lineup is almost the strongest in Daqin, and there is also the participation of military genius Xiang Yu, and the soldiers are all the most elite men and horses of Daqin, Xiongnu and Macedonia, Yinggao believes that even if the Romans retain a lot of men and horses in Rome proper, Han Xin and Xiang Yu They will not be as miserable as the Roman consuls in Seleuc, if that is the case, this Rome will not know that the Year of the Monkey can be attacked.

Although they said that they were basically exhausted in Seleuc, the Romans still had some men and horses in Macedonia, although the combat effectiveness of that part of the men and horses was not necessarily very strong, but if they made up a hundred thousand kills to go back, if Han Xin's side still couldn't do it, it would not be a good thing.

What the situation on Han Xin's side is, naturally only Han Xin and Xiang Yu know, and Han Xin and Xiang Yu at this time are still a little different from what Yinggao expected.

"General, why don't we send the news back to Seleucus as soon as possible? So that you can know how far we are going here, otherwise, you will be very anxious to wait! ”

It was Philip V who said this, because he was afraid that he would cause unnecessary trouble in Seleuc, so Yinggao also asked him to form a triumvirate with Han Xin and Xiang Yu, and led his men to the territory of the Romans.

"It is important for your lord to know how far we have gone here, but it is even more important to be able to get the enemy to retreat from the battlefield where we attacked Seleuc."

After Han Xin answered Philip V, Xiang Yu also smiled slightly beside him, and then nodded, and followed Philip V to attack the Romans along the way, so that Xiang Yu knew why Philip V's Macedonia was not much worse than Rome on the surface, but when it really started, it was a result of repeated defeats.

Philip V's worries along the way were almost all about whether Yinggao would be like this, whether Yinggao would be like that, and so on, in other words, in Macedonia, which he ruled, he was concerned with what the monarchs thought, not what was the best way for them to do what they were facing, and if it weren't for this, the previous disputes between Macedonia and Rome would not have necessarily been good.

Seeing that Philip V still didn't understand, Han Xin could only sigh slightly, and then explained to him again.

"When we attacked the city of Rome before, their situation was already a little dangerous, in this case, the Romans would definitely send their men and horses to inform the Roman consuls of this matter as quickly as possible, and when the Roman consuls knew what was happening in Rome, they would naturally give up attacking Seleus, and at that time, Seleucus would naturally be safe, if we sent men and horses to inform the king later, Most of the men and horses we send will meet the enemy's returning men and horses head-on, but it will only increase the casualties. ”

Philip V nodded at this point, indicating that he agreed with Han Xin's statement, of course, he played such a role most of the time in this trip.

At this time, Han Xin turned to Xiang Yu and asked with a somewhat serious face: "Shan Yu thinks, is it a bit risky for us to insist on waiting here?" ”
