Chapter 619: The Defeat of Rome (Second Update)

At this time, the people under the Roman generals finally couldn't help it, they knew that if this continued, a full 300,000 people would most likely be wiped out here, and if this happened, the strength of the Romans and the relationship with the surrounding allies would be greatly regressed.

Indeed, a Great Qin, no matter what the strength is, they still have a lot of confidence, but what about the Great Qin plus their original rival Macedonia, plus a force that I don't know where it came from, but has an army of 100,000?

There was no point in holding on any longer, and the mighty Romans finally had to admit that this time they were either defeated or annihilated, and there was no other possibility.

"I'd better withdraw my troops, no matter what the senate does with the two of us after we go back, at least bring some of my Roman elites back and inform the consuls of what happened here as soon as possible, otherwise, if they are really completely united, Rome will face a very harsh situation."

Finally, one of the generals made his own decision, he knew that unless a miracle happened, he could defeat the cavalry of Great Qin and Philip V here, or he would either die in battle here, or go back and wait for the judgment of the Senate, Rome had not fought such a defeat for a long time, and someone had to stand up and take responsibility for such a situation.

These two generals have no hearts, only the two of them can take responsibility, the consuls and the people of the Senate will never admit that they have made a mistake in their judgment of Daqin like the Roman people, although they are scapegoats, but they can't make any protests.

"Good! Withdraw troops! ”

Finally, another general made the same decision, although they may face sacrifices, but after so many years of being Roman generals, they have a very deep affection for this dynasty and the soldiers of this dynasty, and they still hope to save more soldiers in the case that they will die no matter what.

The decision of the Romans to withdraw was so decisive, but Han Xin did not expect it, they originally thought that since the Romans were very arrogant, then they would definitely not easily admit that they could not defeat the Great Qin, the Huns, and Philip V, so they would definitely be able to annihilate this part of the army.

And now, the Romans suddenly showed signs of withdrawing, although the three men and horses were also struggling to chase and kill, but after all, they were also cavalry, and it was still very possible to block the dead and want to cover their elite withdrawal.

This time the Romans were actually a hammer deal, and before they came, they never thought that their cavalry would lose, let alone what to do in such a situation, so they fled very hastily and completely.

As a result, many forces around Seleuc, who were following this battle, saw the defeat of the Romans, and through the defeat of the Romans, it was the strength of Great Qin that was highlighted.

Great Qin has never experienced defeat since it appeared on this land, and this battle has established their position, and it can be said that it is also this battle that has made Great Qin truly one of the largest forces on this planet.

These black-haired, yellow-skinned warriors from some distant East now make the world tremble, and no one knows where their limits are, let alone whether they will stop them.

Han Xin and Meng Tian watched the Romans run away, although they had been trying to catch up, but they let a lot of meat shields behind for them to attack, and the real elite was running fast in front, they knew that it was basically impossible to annihilate the elite of the Romans, at this time Han Xin was not carried away by the victory, he wanted one thing.

Someone had given them very precise the location of the Romans' march and the time to attack Seleucus, so what was the purpose of these people, and whether they were mixed in this group of people, Han Xin felt that they could all be found.

"Keep an eye on the forces that follow the Romans, if any of them do not follow the Romans all the time, but flee in other directions on the way, quickly inform me of the situation!"

After Han Xin gave such an order, he knew that he would not be able to catch up with the Romans, so he decided to go back with some of his men first, and handed over the task of investigating this matter to one of his lieutenants.

In one night, the Romans left a lot of corpses and finally came to a victorious escape, they lost a total of no less than 100,000, but the real elite of the Romans was 20,000 or 30,000, but this was enough to make the Romans hurt for a while, and more importantly, this broke the feared rumors of the Romans, and replaced them with Daqin.

The general sent by Philip V said hello to Han Xin after the Romans retreated and left on his own, leaving Xiang Yu in the end, but he was invited to the city of Seleu by Han Xin and Meng Tian.

The victory of this battle has actually been in the hearts of Han Xin and Xiang Yu for a long time, no army can withstand the siege of three strong armies after such a long journey, they are all people who have experienced a lot of wars, and they know that the war competition is not fame, let alone the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers, but the strategy of anticipating the enemy first, the strategy of the Romans is not good, and it is very arrogant, in the face of Daqin, these will of course make them pay a very painful price.

Inviting Xiang Yu into the Seleuc's city, Han Xin had no other purpose, but according to Yinggao's previous statement, he cashed in the city allocated to Xiang Yu.

This deal was too simple for the Huns, because of the previous Roman strategy, the Huns were faced with some cavalry with poor combat effectiveness, and their losses were not large, so they took it as a walk around.

But the gains obtained from this circle are a lot, one-third of the Seleuc territory, I have to say that the Xiongnu hit the soy sauce.

"If Shan Yu hadn't sent troops this time, the Romans would not have withdrawn so easily, these cities are what Shan Yu and the Xiongnu deserve, please don't shirk Shan Yu!"

Of course, Xiang Yu would not refuse, and after handing over some Seleu territories with Han Xin, it could be regarded as a relatively easy time.

"I wonder what Great Qin plans to do after repelling the Romans this time?"

Xiang Yu is actually most interested in what Yinggao's follow-up is, since Yinggao has already intersected with Rome and Macedonia, it is almost impossible for him to live a life of dissipation.

Whether it is Rome or Macedonia, they all have quite grand goals, it can be said that to a certain extent, the three of them are each other's stumbling blocks, and the relationship between them is complicated, if they really do their best, according to Xiang Yu's analysis, no one can really destroy each other at this stage.

"If people don't offend me, I won't offend people, the king once said, we just took the Seleuc, the first thing is to let the people of Seleu be like the people of the Peacock Dynasty, first recognize the language and Qin law of our Great Qin, as long as the Seleu is truly turned into the territory of our Great Qin, we can think of other things, although the Romans are arrogant, but obviously not stupid, this time since they already know the power of my Great Qin, of course, they will not come to intrude again in the short term, the king means, We can't have any other thoughts until the Seleucs are in our hands. ”

Han Xin's words are actually very much in line with Xiang Yu's impression of Yinggao, in Xiang Yu's heart, Yinggao is a master who is not angry, but when you find out how powerful he is, it will be too late.

When he was in Jiangdong, he didn't take Yinggao with soldiers to exterminate him in his eyes at all, but in the end, he fell into Yinggao's serial plan and had to leave the Huns.

And the previous Liu Bang was even more scheming in Xiang Yu's opinion, and he couldn't see what this guy thought in his heart, but he was such a person, and he was also picked out alive by Yinggao in the three counties of Lingnan, Xiang Yu didn't know what else in this world could be difficult to live in Yinggao.

When he first cooperated with Daqin, Xiang Yu actually still had the idea that he could secretly become bigger at a certain time in the future, and then replace it, but after cooperating with Daqin for a long time, Xiang Yu found that Yinggao and himself were all playing Yangmou, and he would not have a little bit of that opportunity at all.

At this time, Xiang Yu almost no longer has such thoughts, Yinggao is a person with clear grievances, as long as he sincerely cooperates with Yinggao, it is already equivalent to being invincible in the competition with Yinggao, but of course, in this case, Xiang Yu also knows that the Huns under his leadership can only be a subordinate of Daqin forever, and follow Daqin's ass to do things.

If this was in Xiang Yu's eyes before, it was obviously a very wretched thing, but in the eyes of Xiang Yu now, it was a very easy way to make his life very easy, after all, even Xiang Yu, who was so young and frivolous before, never thought that the Central Plains was no longer in his plan, and there was still a lot of land waiting for him to conquer outside of it, if there was no Yinggao, these would never be seen by him, so for Yinggao, Xiang Yu didn't know when it started, he was completely convinced.

After a little inquiry with Han Xin about Daqin's next plan, Xiang Yu hurriedly returned to his own territory, although he got so much land for nothing, but the most difficult thing for Xiang Yu was not how to obtain these lands, but how to manage them, the Huns always thought that they ultimately belonged to the vast grassland, and Xiang Yu now wanted them to know that they should no longer have such thoughts, but this is obviously a difficult process.

After Xiang Yu left, Han Xin did not let the sergeants under his command relax, because he still had to wait for a news, a very important news for him, after all, the order that Yinggao gave him before he set out was not only this task, but also a task, and in Yinggao's eyes, the weight of that task did not seem to be smaller than this task.

"General, do you think there is a shadow of Hu Hai in this matter?"

Meng Tian has been cooperating with Han Xin for a long time, he knows that Han Xin has been very concerned about the name Hu Hai since he arrived this time, and Han Xin had said before that Hu Hai was likely to hide somewhere near them, and then silently observed them, like a poisonous snake, looking for his own opportunity.

"Indeed, Hu Hai knows Seleu very well, and his identity is special, before Seleuc in order to deal with Great Qin, he had left him in his territory because of Hu Hai's identity, so the current Romans may naturally know this, not only that, the Romans want to understand Great Qin, only Hu Hai is the way."

"What if Hu Hai follows the Romans back to Rome at this time?"

"Hu Hai is only useful when he is near us, and the mysterious letter we received before, I think it is very likely that Hu Hai did it, his purpose is very likely to make us fight with Rome to lose both, so he must have a certain number of men under his command, he will not give up the power he has worked hard for a long time and go to Rome to be angry, so I conclude that he is hiding not far from us, this time, is our best chance to find them, He would not have imagined that the invincible Romans would be defeated at our hands so quickly, and in such a situation, no matter how well he had hidden before, he would be exposed at such a time. ”

Although Han Xin's analysis was a little far-fetched in Meng Tian's opinion, he couldn't say anything to refute it, so he could only wait for the results from Han Xin's cronies, after all, he was as cunning as Hu Hai, and it was impossible for him to return to his own realm directly after being defeated.

As the head of the behemoth of Great Qin, Yinggao, who was sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai in Xianyang Palace, received the news of this war more than a month later.

When Yinggao saw it, he couldn't help but let out a long breath.

All he could do was let Han Xin and Meng Tian use their own strategies, and other things were not up to him, the emperor who was far away, could decide, after all, although it was not the time when the Romans were at their strongest, it was also a time when their power was growing rapidly.
