Although Antiochus III did not see the damage of those stones to the city wall very carefully, he still saw the warrior who was directly knocked down by the stone, and he knew how powerful the stone was.

In his opinion, such a great power would definitely cause damage to his city wall, although a stone may not pose much of a threat to the city wall, but it is not just a stone, but a stone that keeps flying.

Almost all of Antioch's generals and sergeants had been removed from the city wall at this time, although this wave did not actually cause them any major damage, but the psychological trauma to them was almost collapse.

On two occasions in a row, the Sergeants of Great Qin showed superior abilities without the slightest expectation of the Seleucians, one was the cavalry of the frontal time, and the other was these seemingly inconspicuous trebuchets.

Now it is obvious that the Seleucians can't hit people, but they can hit your walls and gates, and the trebuchets attack indiscriminately, but whoever gets to the city walls has a good chance of being hit.

At the behest of Antiochus III, some of the sergeants ventured outside to inspect them, and then returned and reported to Antiochus III: "Your Majesty, the stones fired by the enemy's catapults are not ordinary stones, but sharpened stones, and when they hit our walls and gates, they will cause some damage to our gates and walls, and although a day or two will not matter much, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that the situation will not be very good!" ”

The meaning of the soldiers who came back to report the news was very obvious, that is, their gates and walls could not last long, because the range of their archers in the city was far inferior to that of other people's trebuchets, so if they did not leave the city, they could only sit in the city and wait for death, and there was no other way.

Antiochus III knew that it was not that the Great Qin people did not know the height of the sky and the height of the earth, but that the people's hearts were clear and understood.

People already knew that these trebuchets would definitely cause a lot of trouble to their cities, but they didn't realize it, and to put it bluntly, they didn't have enough knowledge about it, and they didn't see the power of trebuchets before, and it's obviously too late to say these things now.

During this day, the trebuchet hardly stopped, and it was not until it was a little dark that the soldiers of Great Qin slowly withdrew and returned to their camp.

It was at this time that Antiochus III finally sent someone outside to see the extent of the damage to his gates and walls.

The exact news was still very much to Antiochus III, and at this intensity, in three or four days their walls would be enough to choke.

Antiochus III knew that once the walls of his city were choked enough, it would be a bit of a big deal, and the cavalry of the others would attack directly, then the defense line that he had painstakingly managed in three or four days would be finished, and if this was really the effect, it would be like a fool's dream to be able to hold the Seleuc.

So, this night it was time for Antiochus III to make a choice, and they had to act on the situation they were facing, or they would not be able to sit and die.

"Your Majesty, since the enemy's trebuchets are no longer avoidable, it is better to abandon this city, and in a few days, we will be able to retreat a little more and then build a defensive line."

"No! Can we take a step back and avoid the trebuchet? Blindly dodging can only make us the next Peacock Dynasty, and sooner or later our territory will be breached by the cavalry of Great Qin! ”

Antiochus III had just said a question, and several of his cronies had already begun to quarrel, and for a while they had everything to say.

Antiochus III knew that they were definitely not like this in normal times. The reason why it became today's performance was obviously influenced by the enemy's strength, and he knew that he was their backbone at this time, and if he couldn't play the role of this backbone, then Seleuc might really not be far from extinction.

After listening carefully to the words of each of his cronies, Antiochus III stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, although at this time, because of the prestige that Antiochus III had accumulated before, the generals under his command were still very convinced of him.

"This time I fell into passivity in the battle with Daqin twice, which was caused by my unfavorable command and lack of understanding of Daqin, but if this city is really attacked by Daqin within three or four days, we will not be able to explain to the millions of people in Seleuc, so this time, we must not sit still!"

"What do you think, just say it, Great Qin is indeed very powerful for my Seleus, but I Seleu can't retreat step by step, even if I die in this battle, I have no regrets!"

At this point, the difference between the Seleucians and the generals of the Mauryan Empire is reflected, compared with the Mauryan Dynasty, the Seleucus is a well-deserved fighting nation, they are under the leadership of Antiochus III, and the more they reach such a life-and-death situation, the more they can show such energy.

"Good! Now that you have this state of mind, I have the confidence to hold this city! Tonight is the time for us to set out, and I think that the camp tent of the Great Qin must be heavily guarded, but even so, we must be dispatched, otherwise if our city gates and city walls are destroyed for another day, we will not be able to withstand the impact of other ways after that. ”

After hearing the words of Antiochus III, the people nodded yes, and one of the generals, who had a relatively good head, asked: "What your lord said, should we destroy all their trebuchets today?" ”

"Yes, without those trebuchets, even if Daqin has more troops, he will have to cross the river and attack, so that they can consume their troops well, otherwise their troops will not be effectively consumed for a long time, and we can only be more and more difficult."

This time, Antiochus III's goal is very clear, that is, to destroy Daqin's trebuchet, only without trebuchets, Daqin can use men and horses to attack the city, Antiochus III is still very clear about such things.

Seeing that the people under his command really had no doubts, Antiochus III continued to arrange.

"Daqin must be very strict with the guards of the trebuchet this time, but I guess that if we can raid, plus in the dark night, their previous tactics should be greatly reduced, we don't have to be afraid, just fight, prepare the fire on the body, and set it on fire when we see it, and after destroying most of the trebuchets, the sergeants under our command must not fall in love with the battle, just withdraw immediately!"

After setting this tone, Antiochus III consulted with several of his cronies for a long time, and finally each of them went to the city to prepare.

This night is destined to be an extraordinary night, the city where the Seleuks are located is a hot scene, and the camp of Daqin is not peaceful.

"General, it's halfway through the night, won't those Seleucians come anymore?"

"No, if I were the general of the Seleuc, I would probably change the time of the attack on our camp to after midnight, not now."

This was a conversation between Han Xin and a general under his command, and after this conversation, the general could only dispel the idea of letting his soldiers rest for a few hours, and continued to stand guard with some reluctance.

After the general left Han Xin's camp, Han Xin and Meng Tian were left in this camp, Han Xin sighed slightly and said: "If the real enemy army attacks our camp with all their might, I am afraid that these trebuchets of ours will not be able to be saved, this is the hard work of my Great Qin craftsmen!" ”

Obviously, Han Xin still attaches great importance to these hundred trebuchets, in his eyes, these hundred trebuchets will definitely be able to provide them with more opportunities in the future, but tonight, once Antiochus III wants to finish the battle, these Great Qin cavalry who don't know how to form will definitely not be able to keep these trebuchets.

Because according to the plan of the two of them, the task of the Great Qin cavalry tonight is also very clear, trebuchets can be dispensed without, but they must do their best to take the lives of these Seleucid enemies.

"These 100 trebuchets and cavalry are really slow to move in comparison, and the target is also very large, if the enemy army just wants to destroy them, the final damage must be our cavalry, in this case, it is better to let them complete their purpose, and we still have 200 trebuchets are being transported here from Fahrenheit City, these 100 trebuchets are regarded as our exchange of the number of enemies, although we can also directly break through the Seleuc city if we storm it, But the king ordered that the loss should not exceed 50,000, which is really not an easy thing to do! ”

Of course, Meng Tian has seen a lot more wars than Han Xin, so he is still more open to the matter of exchanging lifeless trebuchets for the lives of enemy soldiers.

Through Meng Tian's persuasion, Han Xin could only nod slightly, admitting that in the current situation, once Antiochus III really put his mind on his hundred trebuchets, it would indeed be the best plan for Daqin's army to strategically abandon those hundred trebuchets and then focus on killing the enemy army.

In fact, the current Han Xin really expects that the Seleucians will not dare to send troops to seize the trebuchets at night, so that he will have another day's chance, once the walls of this city can be smashed in one or two days, it will be like a bamboo, and these hundred trebuchets will not have to be lost.

The reason why Han Xin was unwilling to lose so many trebuchets in his heart was actually because he probably knew how much effort it took to create so many trebuchets for Zhang Kai and Yinggao, but after thinking about it, a living warrior naturally spent more effort, didn't he?

On this night, Han Xin and Meng Tian sat opposite each other in the big tent, and they didn't even take off their armor, obviously, almost the entire Great Qin cavalry camp was in such a state, they were waiting for a war.

After an hour of midnight, it was obvious that this was the most sleepy time of the day, and by this time, even if there was no sleep in the Great Qin military camp, it was already yawning.

It was at this time that very suddenly, a piercing sound of arrows came from outside the barracks.

After Han Xin and Meng Tian heard the sound of the arrow, they both stood up suddenly, and then reached out to take the weapon not far from their hand, they knew that the time they had imagined before had come, and this battle was still coming.

This arrow was sent by the Great Qin cavalry patrolling outside the camp, and soon after this signal was given, they had already lost their lives, this time, the Seleucian cavalry was determined to achieve their goal, they reached the edge of the moat without a sound, once they crossed the river, they advanced at full speed.

Therefore, when the sergeants patrolling Daqin found them approaching Daqin's barracks, their speed was already very fast, and it was not easy to launch the arrows in time.

As soon as the Seleucians saw the arrow, they basically knew that the Great Qin people were prepared for their attack at night, but these were originally within the mind of Antiochus III, and he would not believe that a well-trained soldier like Great Qin was sleeping soundly on such an important night.

"Tell me not to fight in the enemy's camp, but to find out where the trebuchets are as soon as possible, and return to the city as soon as they destroy them! Minimize the losses of our army! ”

When Antiochus III had almost stormed into Daqin's camp under his command, he reminded him one last time, because in his thoughts, Daqin's cavalry would still use their formations, so that the shorter the stay here, the loss of his army would obviously be minimized.

Listening to the earth-shattering shouts of killing, Han Xin finally realized for the first time that the enemy was not wood, and the people also had very high combat effectiveness, and he had a hunch in his heart that this battle would not be easy.
