Some of the torches were blown out by the wind in the air, and some of them fell on the dead branches and leaves on the swamp, and some of the torches that fell on the dead branches and leaves still did not ignite the dead leaves, but after all, some of the flames survived in the wind, and then let a dead leaf burn.

A spark can start a prairie fire.

This sentence is very suitable for this time, and what they are staying here now is not the spark of the stars, but these flames gradually burned the first fallen leaves with the momentum of the wind, followed by the second, and then the third......

After waiting for a while, Han Xin finally saw the sparkling fires burning there, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then let his soldiers rest well and prepare for battle.

At this time, the Roman cavalry was resting in the forest, and the Roman consuls had no better arrangement than to let them pay attention to the movements on the other side, because in his opinion, the enemy would be killed by the forces of nature without any need to make a move.

At first, according to the judgment of the Roman consul, the time when the Great Qin cavalry should come over, there was no movement on the opposite side, at first the Roman consul did not care, he let his team suddenly accelerate forward, and threw off the cavalry of Daqin who was chasing behind a lot of distance, and it was understandable that the Great Qin people were slow to catch up.

But when it was dawn, the Roman consul was full of confidence and waited for not good news, and the sergeant he sent to check the situation reported that Daqin's men and horses should have come, but they did not come, in other words, they probably found out that it was a swamp, so they stopped.

At this moment, the Roman consuls were a little confused, how could the generals of Great Qin just know that there was a swamp here? Moreover, the time when he had attracted them to him happened to be dark, and no matter where he thought about it, the Roman consul also felt that his plan would not be known to the enemy.

He was a little panicked at this moment, he didn't know how much grain and grass Daqin had, if Daqin's cavalry was just blocking on the opposite side, and when his men and horses consumed the dry food he carried with him in a few days, things would not be very good, and if he couldn't get it right, he still had to take his men and horses back to the opposite side to fight with the Daqin people, in that case, even if he was lucky to win them in the end, there would definitely not be much left of the men and horses under his command.

For a whole hour or two, the Roman consuls were thinking of a way, but after an hour or two, he finally realized that he seemed to be thinking too much, not only did he not want to have a decisive battle with the Great Qin people, but the Great Qin people obviously didn't want to have a decisive battle with him, and more importantly, they had already come up with a way.

When the Romans discovered the fire in the marsh, the situation was already a little unfavorable to them, and the fire was coming at them at a slow speed by the direction of the wind, and if the fire continued like this, it would surely reach the grove where they were, and if it burned, they would die without a place to bury.

The Romans were really panicked in such a situation, they didn't know how the enemy they encountered could be so strong, as if they could be seen through by the enemy no matter what kind of tricks they used, if this was really the case, how to fight this battle, it would definitely not be able to fight.

The reversal of the situation was so simple, so simple that the Great Qin people only used a few torches, and then began to wait, while the Romans were overwhelmed by these torches.

The fire made the Roman consuls also confused, because it was not only a matter of them being able to return to the opposite side to fight against the Great Qin people, but what happened with the fire was that the poisonous snakes and crocodiles and other fierce beasts that lived in the swamp were also blown up, and they were in chaos in the swamp, and if the army wanted to go back at this time, I don't know how much the loss would be.

But the lesser of two evils, the Roman consuls knew that no matter what was going to happen in front of them, if you really sat here and waited, everyone would be burned to death in the fire, and the place where they were located was surrounded by dense woods, and once the fire came, it would be a no-to outcome.

"Order, return to land along the swamp, but be prepared for war with Great Qin as soon as you land!"

Although this order was a slap in the face for the Roman consuls, he couldn't care so much at such a critical juncture, and it was more important than anything else to live first.

So, the Roman army once again set foot on the swamp, but this time, their journey was not as smooth as before, those who died in the flames, those who fell into the swamp, those who were attacked by fierce beasts, and so on.

And where the Romans were able to land, the Qin crossbow had already waited for them with bows and arrows, and the other Great Qin, Xiongnu, and Macedonian soldiers were also ready to intercept and kill the Romans who had just landed.

It may be that from the moment Han Xin ordered the torch to be thrown, the outcome of this battle had been decided, Han Xin knew it in his heart, and the Roman consul knew it in his heart, but one of the two of them was afraid of some miracle, while the other had been fantasizing about whether there would be any miracle.

When the Romans reached the edge of the swamp exhausted and just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, a series of sharp arrows broke through the air and reaped the lives of those who escaped one by one.

It was a one-sided battle, and although the Romans seemed to be very violent, they tossed and turned, and in the end it was they who were tossed.

If they had made up their minds to fight Han Xin from the beginning, it was really hard to say what kind of result they could achieve, but the Roman consul did not, he always felt that he had a better way to destroy the enemy, and in the previous battles he participated in, such an idea might indeed have succeeded, at least it worked.

But this time, he was completely defeated by the Great Qin people, in Seleuc, he did not break through the will quality of the Great Qin people, and here, he did not embody the will quality that the Romans should have, from the time he wanted the Great Qin people to be buried in the swamp, in fact, what he didn't know was that he had lost the initiative in this battle.

With a fire behind him, an enemy army in front of him, and all kinds of beasts in the swamp around him, it was a bit of a surprise to the Romans who didn't know what to do.

And in this war, Han Xin and Xiang Yu had already given an order to the cavalry of Great Qin, as long as they died, not alive, they rarely fought such wars, and it was forbidden to kill indiscriminately like Bai Qi in the Qin law, but they all knew that the Romans were like poisonous snakes, as long as they could not completely kill them, they would definitely look for an opportunity to counterattack Great Qin.

This battle lasted for a few more days, but these few days were indeed the easiest one for Han Xin and Xiang Yu, and the Philip Five clan around them was also very surprised by such a magical passive into active, he didn't know how Han Xin and Xiang Yu did it, he only knew that if it was him, he probably didn't know how to die, let alone have to complete a successful counter-kill against the Romans.

Philip V obviously didn't have to take action himself in such a battle, standing behind Han Xin and Xiang Yu, he sighed slightly, and at this time, this guy who was still ambitious before finally began to bow to fate.

Give him the same opportunity, the same people, it is completely impossible for him to be better than Han Xin and Xiang Yu, and he can't even say that he is close.

He knew that perhaps, like Antiochus III, honestly being assigned a mansion and a few servants in the capital of Great Qin, and then honestly enjoying his old age there was the best result for him, at least then he would no longer have to think about when he could dominate the world, or when his enemies would come to fight him.

A few days have passed, and everything has been settled in these few days, and the Romans have almost lost all casualties in the battle of the soldiers and horses with the Great Qin cavalry and the chase of the fire behind them.

Among these people, Han Xin wanted to catch two people the most, one of them was naturally the Roman consul, and the other was Zhao Hu.

In such a situation, of course, the people Han Xin wanted to catch had nowhere to run, and the Roman consul was taking Zhao Hu and some other people to change into the clothes of ordinary soldiers and run back to the capital of Rome, but this move was already on the guard of Han Xin and Xiang Yu, and when they wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Daqin soldiers on the opposite side were not paying attention, the other team of men and horses had already blocked them solidly.

Although the Roman consuls and Zhao Hu also put up a very stubborn resistance, they were still captured alive by Han Xin and Xiang Yu.

But to their disappointment, Han Xin's purpose in capturing them alive was not to take them to Seleu or Great Qin to show the Emperor Yinggao of Great Qin, but just to confirm the identities of the two people.

After confirming the identities of the Roman consul and Zhao Hu, Han Xinhe glanced at them slightly, and then said to Xiang Yu: "The king has an order, once these two people are captured, there is no need to keep them and bring them back to the king, just kill them on the spot!" ”

After Han Xin finished saying this, the Roman consul didn't do anything, because he didn't understand what Han Xin said at all, but Zhao Hu was frightened, originally he thought that Han Xin would bring the two of them back to the territory of Daqin, so that with his ability, once there was a chance on the road, he would definitely be able to escape, but if Han Xin said so, it would definitely kill him now, then of course he would not have any chance.

"There is still a lot of love in this matter, why don't you take us back and let the emperor of Great Qin personally take care of it! For such a big thing, you are the master of this, where did you put the Great Qin Emperor? ”

Zhao Hu is obviously still making the final fight for himself, and the purpose of saying this is nothing more than to make himself immortal now, as long as he doesn't die now, let him say anything.

"Hmph, the letter between you and Zhao Gang has already been known to you, nothing has happened in Daqin, Liu Bang's heirs are still living well in his village, so your wishful thinking will end here, you know a lot more than you know. And it is the opinion of the king to kill you, and it is said that Zhao Gang personally suggested it, if you don't kill you at this time, we don't have so many people watching you all the time. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Hu finally knew that Yinggao must not have really returned to Daqin, and only then could there be a situation where the defenders were so desperate in Seleuc, and the reason for this was nothing else, it was the emperor of Daqin who was guarding with them in the city.

But at this point, it is useless to know it, and the only thing that awaits them is death.

These conversations between Zhao Hu and Han Xin, the Roman consul didn't understand a word, he fell into Han Xin's hands, in fact, for Han Xin, it was not as good as Zhao Hu, just kill it and be done.

After saying those words to Zhao Hu, Han Xin glanced at the generals behind him, and one of the generals directly dragged out with a few people who tied up the five flowers.

In the film and television dramas of Yinggao's later generations, he has obviously pointed his sword at his opponent, but it is still his mother-in-law and mother chattering endlessly, and it is obvious that this will not happen until other people's reinforcements come, and before the Roman consul could react to what was going on, he heard a click, and his round head had already rolled to the ground.

Next, it was a moment that made Xiang Yu feel a little familiar, and a little sad, the head of the Roman consul was directly provoked, and those Romans who were still resisting saw this scene and knew that they were finished, and Rome was also finished, and the little combat power they had left had disappeared with the death of the Roman consul, and just like that, this final battle ended on the edge of a swamp in Rome.

When the dust settled, Han Xin and Xiang Yu did not have time to enjoy the fruits of victory, they immediately integrated the troops and horses, and when the number of people was counted, Han Xin found that he still had 60,000 men and horses left, and these men and horses were enough for them to occupy the current Rome.
