Chapter 662: A Bold Ambush

Naturally, Han Xin began to work out how this battle should be fought, for the place where they had now encamped was their greatest reliance, and when they found this place, they concluded that this place, a few miles after the Romans had to return to the capital, was an excellent place for raids.

But after the raid, they may indeed be faced with a very tired army, and there are not as many of them as they are, which is the situation they want most, because in this way, once a battle of leisure and waiting for work, fighting more and fighting less, they will surely be able to kill the enemy without leaving a single piece of armor.

But if they are facing a team that has been fully prepared, and there are more people than them, this matter is not very easy to do, the Romans' combat strength they know, if they meet on the Great Flat, the two sides will each rely on their own ability to fight into a draw, otherwise they will not lose so many men and horses after attacking the Roman capital.

So what Han Xin wants to discuss this time is what they should do if the situation is beyond their expectations.

In the end, under the condition that Philip V did not really say what he thought, Han Xin and Xiang Yu had basically set a happy tone for this matter, that is, no matter whether the enemies they encountered were 100,000 or 150,000 or 200,000, in a word, they would be done, and they would run back when they had less than 10,000 people left.

In fact, Han Xin knew that how many remaining consuls of Rome came back depended on what kind of resistance Yinggao and Meng Tian made to them in Seleuc, if they had just attacked Meng Tian and retreated, then the defenders who might stay behind would not have lost much, because Daqin still had such a big rear as the Mauryan Empire, but once such a situation happened, what they would have to face next would not be a good thing.

Of course, Han Xin couldn't speculate about what his emperor was doing, so he didn't say anything about it, but according to his understanding of Yinggao and Meng Tian, although the number of defenders was definitely far from catching up with the men and horses brought by the Roman consuls, they should not retreat as soon as they saw the enemy.

If Ying Gao and Meng Tian retreated, there was basically only one possibility, that is, if they didn't retreat, the emperor of Great Qin would be caught by the Roman consuls.

According to Han Xin's estimate, the defenders can at least inflict a loss of about 50,000 on the enemy, plus if the enemy hears that his capital has almost been killed, he should run back in a hurry, so calculated, the chance of a few of them should be about fifty percent, although Han Xin did not say it explicitly, but this fifty percent chance is his bottom line.

After making a decision, Han Xin began to prepare and mobilize before the station, and the same as the defenders in Seleuc, Yinggao had something to say before setting off again, if this trip would make the whole Rome go up in smoke, all the soldiers who returned alive could obtain the first-class title of Daqin, which was not only for the soldiers of Daqin, but also for the Huns and Macedonians.

In the process of mobilization, Han Xin was clearly prepared for the worst, and the meaning expressed in his words was that the number of enemies was very likely to outnumber their men, and in such a situation, it would not be easy to achieve victory.

At this time of the battle, in fact, the soldiers who followed Han Xin had a certain understanding of the situation they were in at this time, and they had basically beaten all the cities of Rome, and now the only thing left for them to help Daqin dominate the world was the team of men led by the Roman consuls.

As long as they can wipe out this group, then they will never have any more wars, and they will be treated as heroes when they return to their homeland, provided that they do not die and live until they return to their homeland.

Now Han Xin's situation is called "Ready to Fly", and they have to send it, you are guarding the way home for others, even if there is no action, people will definitely find out after returning to their own territory, so it is better to just come and do nothing, while they are in a hurry to go home, there may be exhaustion, just go straight to work, anyway, this is also the easiest situation to win, isn't it?

After learning that someone in the Roman capital had gone to the east, Han Xin sent a lot of scouts, and his purpose was also very simple, that is, once he learned the news that the Roman army was coming back, let him know as soon as possible, and for Han Xin, they didn't know how many soldiers under their command could survive in the next battle.

In fact, just as Han Xin expected, it was the few remaining defenders of the Roman capital who could not wait for their consul to come back, so they could only send a small team of fast horses to look along the way, they felt that their consul must not have imagined that after they left, a team of Great Qin would attack their capital, and almost all of the elite soldiers guarding the perimeter of the capital were wiped out.

The only thing that could make the Romans say was that it was possible that their own defenders used their strong willpower to scare off the cavalry of Great Qin at the last moment, because if even the cavalry of Great Qin went up a little further, the capital of Rome might change hands.

Although they don't know why Daqin's people retreated like that, people often put the credit for this matter on themselves when they don't know the reason for something that is beneficial to them, which is obviously very cool to think like this, but it will also make you not know what the true essence of this matter is.

It is precisely because it was not their own men and horses who finally retreated the cavalry of Daqin, so the hearts of the people guarding the city did not land, and when they expected that the Roman consuls should almost come back, of course they couldn't wait to send people to see if they came back, in case something happened to the Roman capital in the hands of these people left behind, there was no need to say anything about the follow-up, and they must be guilty of killing the heads of the Roman consuls.

This time, to the relief of the scouts sent out by the people in the Roman capital, they had only been gone for a few days before they met the Roman consul who had returned with an army of 100,000.

This encounter didn't matter, but it scared the Roman consuls enough, he saw such an eager small group of people, as if they were fleeing from the famine, and said in his heart that he was not coming back late, and their cities had been taken by the Great Qin people?

After careful questioning, he finally knew that although the defenders of Rome had suffered heavy losses in the battle with the army attacking by Great Qin, the city was still there.

When the Roman consul heard this, he thought that the soldiers who defended the city under his command were as strong as the Great Qin warriors he faced, which made the Great Qin attack return in vain.

If that was the case, he still had a very high evaluation of the individuals and horses he left behind to defend the city, after all, he already knew exactly how tenacious the defenders of Great Qin were.

But apparently, this small group of men and horses did not completely tell the truth to their consuls, they were afraid that they would directly tell him that in fact, the defenders in every city were basically defeated by the cavalry of Great Qin, which was a bit too embarrassing, in case the consuls were angry and then killed themselves first, it would be too much to lose, wouldn't it?

The Romans were indeed very powerful, but the more powerful they were, the more they had a very strong self-esteem, and self-esteem was sometimes a good thing, but it was definitely not a good thing in the situation that the Romans are facing today.

As soon as the Roman consul heard this, he waved his hand and wanted to take his men home.

It doesn't matter if you go home this time, you just go to where Han Xin and the others are, and it didn't take long for the movements of these 100,000 people to be discovered by the scouts sent by Han Xin.

After discovering this large group of people, the scouts sent by Han Xin sent the news back to Han Xin as soon as possible, because Han Xin told them that no matter what, they would not let the enemy find their traces, so they did not dare to observe how many enemies there were, but only gave Han Xin an approximation, that is, at least the same number of people as they have left.

This is not bad news for Han Xin, because he is unintentional, and he is here to work at ease, if the number of enemies is really the same as them, Han Xin is at least seventy percent sure that he can do this.

According to the previous arrangement, Han Xin and Xiang Yu took their men and horses to the ambush place they had already selected, here, they did not have the equipment of Yinggao and Meng Tian to defend the city, they could only rely on the advantage of the terrain to hit the enemy by surprise first, and come to a round of arrow rain or something, and then it would be a real chapter on the sword and gun, even if they came from afar, they were already very tired, but if you were much weaker than others in terms of skills, In the end, you still won't be able to win.

You know, Han Xin's purpose is not just to wipe out the final majority of the Romans, he wants to go back and take the Romans' capital and several major cities after eliminating this part of the people, so he must ensure that he still has some available troops after this battle, not to mention, the capital of the Romans is something they must hold firmly in their hands after this battle.

Only when they firmly control the capital of the Romans, Han Xin can be regarded as successfully completing the task assigned to him by Yinggao this time, no matter what is like on the Seleucone side, as long as Yinggao can send a team to stay here, it will be very difficult for the Romans to resurrect.

Don't look at the current Romans' strong formation, when the capital of Rome is occupied by Daqin, those little brothers of the Romans before will definitely all change to Daqin, Yinggao has long thought of that is that at that time, the Romans will become a thorn in the side of these small forces, a thorn in the flesh, once they have something to do with Daqin's misdeeds or meanings, it doesn't need to be discovered by the Daqin people themselves, someone will start to make a small report with you a long time ago.

Since receiving a team of men to greet him, the Roman consuls have not walked so fast, he thinks that since the Great Qin people have retreated, and there is nothing left of almost all of the Seleucians who have been beaten by him, they will definitely hurry back to Seleuc just in case, instead of continuing to wait in this thousands of miles to wait if they can cause any damage to Rome, so this time the battle seems to be suitable for the Romans in his eyes.

But his thoughts did not last long, and one night, as he and his army were passing through a very wide mountain pass, there was a burst of sound in the air, followed by the sergeants in the ranks, who began to fall from their horses, which made the Roman consuls realize that their troops had been ambushed at their doorstep.

"Quickly find the enemy in ambush, and then destroy it at all costs!"

This was the first order given by the Roman consul after the attack, but it was not long before he was slapped in the face by the facts before his eyes, and it was useless for them to find out where the enemy was, and after a round or two of arrows had passed, there was a sound of fighting on both sides of them, and this voice told them that their enemy had come.

After really seeing the true face of the enemy, it was Han Xin who was relieved, first of all, there are only nearly 100,000 enemies here, and the number of men and horses led by him is absolutely the same, in this way, the dominant one is Han Xin, for the team led by Han Xin and Xiang Yu, of course, there is no need to say anything, just do it.

The battle lasted from late night until dawn, and after finally learning of the situation of the team that attacked them, the Roman consul called the men and horses who had come to meet them in front of him, and gave an order, that is, let them return to the capital to bring some rescue troops to destroy this part of the Great Qin together.
