In such a situation, after a long time, it was naturally Philip V who suffered, and the Romans originally used a step-by-step method, at the beginning they used their allies to consume the opponent's physical strength, and when the war was almost over, he used the elite of Rome and Philip V to be tough.

Finally, the balance of victory began to gradually tilt in favor of the Romans, and when Philip V found that he seemed to be unable to gain any advantage from the hands of the Romans, he already knew that this time he did not scare the Roman consuls, and Daqin and the Xiongnu did not give themselves enough men, so compared with the last war, Philip V also knew that this was a battle without changing the medicine.

But under the gaze of the Great Qin and the Hun cavalry, Philip V didn't want to stop like last time, he always felt that he was confident that he could turn the tables in the later stage, in other words, he always felt that he could succeed in counterattacking.

Thus, the war changed from a war for Egypt to a life-and-death war between Macedonia and the Romans. The Roman consuls had not imagined that Philip V would have such an obsession in the land of Egypt.

Although he had already seen that if the two of them fought and the net was broken, they could only let Great Qin sit and reap the profits, but because Philip V had been constantly attacking, and the Romans didn't want to give up Egypt just like that, their casualties had been rising.

In the end, Egypt was still the same Egypt, and Philip V's plan was a complete failure, because the food and grass could not be supplied in time, and this time Philip V finally made the decision to withdraw after paying nearly 100,000 lives.

And the 50,000 people of Great Qin and Xiongnu only went back to more than 20,000 in the end, after all, this was an extremely difficult battle, and in the process of not giving in to each other, time passed with the casualties of the soldiers.

"We have defended Egypt, the border of the Mediterranean, and we will be under the orders of our Rome in the future!"

After returning to the Roman capital, the consul said this to the Senate, but his face did not look a little happy, for he knew that his real enemy had probably changed from Philip V to an even more terrible man.

These two wars have been able to prove one thing, that is, the Romans must be much stronger than the cavalry under Philip V in terms of combat effectiveness, but there is one thing that he cannot control, that is, after a period of time, Philip V may become a dependency of Great Qin like the Xiongnu, and in this case, it is not easy for the Romans to take advantage of them.

But at least these two turmoils, the Romans have passed unharmed, and what they have to do is to make their men more and more powerful during this time, in order to deal with the more fierce wars that may come.

"Then Philip V just gave up on conquering the Mediterranean?" The Roman Senate was still shocked by the news, and in their eyes, Philip V was still the worst enemy of the Romans.

The consul thought for a moment and didn't say anything he thought, because he knew that saying how much of a threat Great Qin would pose to Rome would not make these Senate guys feel anything special, after all, they still had to rely on themselves for these things.

In fact, as the Roman consuls had predicted, this battle had already invisibly changed the power structure of the world.

Originally, it was a two-person turn between Rome and Macedonia, and the strength of the Romans was still slightly stronger than Macedonia, but at this time, the Romans were not afraid of Macedonia at all, and even if there were really only two of them, Rome would be able to destroy Macedonia by biting its back molars, but the problem is that Macedonia is no longer just Macedonia.

Behind them are the Great Qin and the Xiongnu, of course the Romans saw it, the strength of the Great Qin and the Xiongnu together at least did not have to be weak in Macedonia, and where the native of Great Qin was, no one knew about their forces, in other words, you don't know how much hidden strength they have, and they are just playing with you with the men and horses above the Mauryan Dynasty and the Seleucid realm.

Indeed, this time Daqin was to see how capable the Romans could burst out in the face of Philip V, who was attacking with all his might.

Yinggao's head, which had accumulated in later generations for an unknown amount of time, had already taken shape in his mind when he received Philip V's letter.

Exchanging only 30,000 Great Qin cavalry for heavy casualties among the Romans and Macedonians was actually the only purpose that Yinggao promised Philip V this time.

Yinggao knew that even if he didn't agree to Philip V's matter, it still couldn't change the fact that Philip V wanted to attack Egypt, but if he didn't send troops, Philip V would withdraw his troops once he found that he couldn't take Egypt, but if there were 50,000 allies, Philip V would definitely not be able to save face.

This is undoubtedly a psychological war played by Yinggao and Philip V, and Philip V will certainly not find out, because Yinggao is playing to guess the development of the subsequent plot, while Philip V is playing to see if Yinggao can really send troops to help him.

In this way, Philip V was very embarrassed after suffering the defeat, and he was full of confidence to take the 50,000 horses of Daqin and the Huns to Egypt, originally wanting to let Daqin and the Huns see the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under their command, and see how the Romans survived under their feet.

But now it seems that it is completely contrary to his wishes, Yinggao made it clear in the letter before, that the 50,000 horses sent by himself and Xiang Yu were here to help Philip V fight this battle, and now this battle is obviously lost, of course they can't continue to stay and help Philip V get anything else, so as soon as the war is over, the losses are also not small, and they go back to Seleuc directly.

Philip V knew that he was very passive at this time, if he won, the men and horses of Daqin and the Xiongnu would not lose much, and he would be done with a little benefit to Daqin and the Xiongnu, but now it is obviously not the case, not only did he not get any benefits, but he also lost a lot of people and horses to let the family help.

He knew that in this way, he obviously had to apologize to Yinggao, and it was not enough to apologize only in words and letters, and he had to take some practical actions in order for Daqin and Xiongnu to continue to maintain such a relationship with him.

Otherwise, once Daqin and the Xiongnu broke off diplomatic relations with themselves and let the Romans know, their lives would obviously be very sad, and it was very likely that they would be captured by the Romans in the near future.

The results of the war were passed on to Meng Tian's ears as soon as the sergeant returned, and Meng Tian was also very surprised, he actually didn't think that Philip V was a person who dared to send troops without any certainty, but Philip V still sent troops, and something like this happened.

Meng Tian thought that Yinggao's judgment had been wrong at first, and he hurriedly informed Yinggao of the news here, after all, Yinggao was still very far away from Sere, and he couldn't know what happened here.

The news was indeed quickly transmitted to Xianyang City and to Yinggao's ears. But Yinggao's reaction was not what Meng Tian imagined, all of this was expected by Yinggao.

Of course, he knew that Daqin would lose some men and horses, but if these horses didn't lose now, they could only lose more when they really fought with the Romans in the future.

The only difference between this and Yinggao's previous imagination was that he thought that with these 50,000 elite soldiers, Philip V would be able to gain a little upper hand in the battle with the Romans, even if he didn't take down the entire Mediterranean. Then you should take Egypt, right?

But now it seems that in the history of the previous life, Macedonia was basically destroyed by the Romans in the Second Macedonian War, which is still very consistent with the current facts, although the strength of these two forces does not seem to be too different, but you can see the truth under your hands, you Philip V really can't beat the Romans when he fights a tough battle.

Although the strength may be a little bit worse, but in the end, the result of the war is a victory, a defeat, one continues to be the king and the other, and the other becomes a rolling red dust in history, no matter what dynasty it is, this is immutable, and it is nothing more than this.

Of course, Yinggao will not sigh for Rome and Macedonia, and now Philip V wants to ally with him, that is because he also has a very powerful enemy Rome, if there is really no Roman enemy one day, Philip V will immediately turn against Daqin, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, such a situation Yinggao has long been prepared in his heart.

Yinggao knew that Philip V's letter must be about to arrive, this defeat brought a lot of losses to Daqin and the Xiongnu for no reason, Philip V must have something to say, otherwise it would be very difficult for him to send troops with Daqin in the future.

Sure enough, just a few days later, the envoy from Philip V also arrived at the realm of Great Qin, although it had been a long time since this war at this time, but Yinggao knew that without his own reply, Philip V would definitely not take any next move.

In the letter, Philip V did not evade responsibility, saying that his estimate of the enemy was a little underestimated, and he did not expect that the Romans would really attack with 200,000 troops by their consuls for a small Egypt, although he also tried his best, but because of the enemy's cunning, this time the battle was still lost, and the losses of the Great Qin and Hun cavalry, Philip V promised Ying Gao that he would definitely compensate them in other ways.

At the same time, Philip V also vaguely proposed that if Yinggao and the Xiongnu could give him more men and horses, the outcome of this war would definitely be different.

He thought that Yinggao would not have known that the battle had been lost because his supplies could not keep up with the Romans, after all, the soldiers of the Great Qin and the Xiongnu had been placed aside by him alone, and had not been mixed with his own soldiers.

But these things, Yinggao has to know sooner or later, those lieutenants who led the elite soldiers who were sent have already rushed to Xianyang City after reporting to Meng Tian, although the distance is far away, but Yinggao knows that he still needs to personally control the big things.

Now the situation is very obvious, Philip V will definitely have nothing to do with the Romans for a while, after all, he has not even taken Egypt under the protection of the Romans, let alone attack the Romans in the near future.

As for Rome, Yinggao also believes that they will not feel that they have the strength to destroy Macedonia because of this victory, because it is obvious that Macedonia and Daqin have formed an alliance, and the target of the alliance is the Romans.

Neither side dared to move, and the reaction to Yinggao was to give himself a chance, after all, now Daqin can only send troops to attack their place through the territory of Seleuc, and there are only 100,000 horses in Seleuc, anyone will see that at least at this stage, Yinggao has absolutely no possibility to send troops to attack any decent forces.

And what Yinggao wants to do is nothing more than to keep their ideas like this, and what he wants to do is to gradually play the role of the bridgehead of Seleuc, Seleuc is different from the Mauryan Dynasty, the Peacock Dynasty provides Yinggao with a lot of resources and population, which is a great supplement to the internal affairs of Daqin, but Seleuc provides Daqin with a lot of possibilities for soldiers.

If there was no Seleuc, it would be impossible for Great Qin to contact Philip V, and without Seleuc, Great Qin would not have had any chance to send troops.

Therefore, although Ying Gao asked Han Xin to return to Daqin before, he only left Meng Tian there, which was just a situation for outsiders to see.
