Chapter 601

But Han Xin and Meng Tian knew about this, and Seleu's monarch and soldiers must have known this. It is impossible for them to allow the Qin people to easily attack the city they were guarding tightly.

Han Xin and Meng Tian have repeatedly spyed on this city many times, and the situation around the city has been spying very clearly. Han Xin and Meng Tian finally had to sigh that this is really a place with the right time, place and people. With such a city and their arrangement, there is almost no possibility of being attacked without being discovered.

If Seliu's soldiers did not leave the city under such circumstances, this matter would be very difficult. Han Xin and Meng Tian knew that this was Seliu's territory. Although they were in the city, they were not an isolated city. Other cities behind the city would provide them with a steady stream of supplements. At least there would be no shortage of food and grass and various equipment. Even if there was not enough staff in the end, they could replenish some.

Although Han Xin and Meng Tian were also relying on their own ally, the Huns, it was very easy for Huashi City to transport anything, but Ying Gao set a time. In this way, he would only be the one who failed with the Seliu people in the end.

In fact, Ying Gao, who was far away in Xianyang City, thought of this situation in advance. His two conditions were precisely to force the strongest Han Xin and Meng Tian to outsourcing the strongest Han Xin and Meng Tian under such circumstances. The Qin army had been comfortable for too long. Ying Gao was worried that even if he was as strong as Han Xin and Meng Tian, ​​if he could not experience a certain number of baptisms, he would eventually be defeated in the real tough battle in the future.

"Only by now is the plan, we will attract Seleu's main force from the city where they are currently located. Otherwise, it would be a bit difficult for us to achieve the final victory with just some equipment and catapults!"

After spying for a long time and summarizing several methods, Han Xin finally expressed his thoughts. The normal attack loss is too great, and people may not use that trick, so what is left is how to lure them out.

"Yes, the monarch of Seleu is also a man of many battles. The ordinary method is probably not useful!" This is the third day when Meng Tian and Han Xin discussed together. They knew that this matter was too urgent. They had to have a very careful plan to truly make Antioch III fall into their calculations, and this was definitely not an easy task.

"The rest of the catapults will be shipped here during this period, so why not be as good as us..."

A trace of cruelty flashed in Han Xin's eyes, and he whispered his plan in Meng Tian's ear.

In the past few days, Antioch's third lifetime has been quite stable, because after he led his army out the last time, the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty simply returned to the city where Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng were before.

This made Antioch III very puzzled. I thought to myself that you brought 300,000 people. Are you all watching the fun? If Han Xin and Meng Tian were replaced by him, he would definitely lead the army to attack fiercely until the enemy could not hold on. But now, the Qin people actually lost more than 10,000 people and it was like a defeat that had been defeated. It really made Antioch III a little unresolved.

But if you can't understand it, you can't understand it. The enemy will not oppress him. Antioch III breathed a sigh of relief, which gave him time to repair the city gate that had been hit by the catapult before.

"Your Majesty, according to my opinion, the general of the Qin Dynasty really couldn't stand any setbacks. Now that he had lost a little manpower, hesitated. If we could make them lose more in the future, I think the Qin Dynasty might retreat."

This time, his confidant made this argument in front of Antioch III. Antioch III was not in a hurry to refute it. What he thought most about in the past few days was why the other party was slow to attack.

Finally, Antioch III summed up two points. The first point was that the generals of the Qin Dynasty might be brewing some huge schemes, and the other was what his confidant said. Because for some reason, the Qin people were very reluctant to consume their soldiers, so that they could not even bear the slightest loss. Then they hesitated in that city.

Antioch III also wanted to know what the Qin people thought so that they could decide what strategies they would use in their subsequent actions.

Five days passed, and Antioch III received a news, a news that he didn't expect, but felt that he had been played with.

The soldiers of the Qin Dynasty did come again, but exactly the same as the last time, they came with almost a hundred catapults.

The three words "cat" are almost the most troublesome for Seliu's soldiers. Because of the range and quantity of this thing, once combined with the Qin crossbow of the Qin Dynasty, Seliu's cavalry will naturally suffer a considerable loss in a short period of time.

Once the catapult arrives by the river like the last time, what is waiting for Seleu will end up with the destruction of the city walls and gates.

Because when destroying the catapult, Antioch III also asked his soldiers to pay a little attention to the catapults. In the end, he found that the structure of the catapults was very complex, and they were made of very strong wood and fine iron. With the current strength of the Seleucids, they would definitely not be able to create such fine things.

In this case, Antioch III took it for granted that the number of things would not be too long. Since the Qin Dynasty could take out 100, it should be all of them, because if they really had them, they would definitely take them out together, and would not take 100 first. After all, if two hundred trenchers were launched at Seliu's city together, the effect would be much better than 100.

With this idea, Antioch III did not make any special arrangements for the trencher, but what he never expected was that what he had to face next was that damn trencher.

Not only Antioch III, but almost all the Seleu generals were stunned by the arrival of the trencher again. They thought to themselves what the trick was like playing with Daqin, and why did he feel like he couldn't get shit?

Of course, they didn't know that the territory of Daqin was still producing trenchers. If the distance was not too far, the team composed of trenchers would probably have destroyed Seliu's city.

When the Seliu people were thinking about a solution, the trenchers of Daqin arrived by the river again. The same recipe and the same taste. The city walls and gates of Saliu began to be destroyed by the trenchers. This time, the Daqin family did not have the step of setting up camp at all, and it was a fierce attack.

"Your Majesty, if they allow them to attack so continuously, our city gate will eventually be broken. Once the city gate is broken, a large number of opponent's troops will rush over, and our archers will not play a big role!"

When Seleu's soldiers saw that things were not going well, they hurried over and informed Antioch III of what they were facing now.

This is obviously another big problem. What to do this time? Daqin obviously will not give them a second chance to raid at night.

Every hour was a great torment for Antioch III. He didn't know how long his city could last, nor did he know what kind of war the city would experience once the city gate was really broken by a catapult.

More than two hours later, Antioch III finally decided not to remain silent, and summoned his men to announce a news that he would send troops directly from the two side gates of the city and fight with the Qin cavalry who came over this time.

The last time, in a hurry, all the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty did not use the previous formation, which made Antioch III think that the formation of the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty was not very mature.

So this time he also spent the time of sending troops when it was just dark. Because this time, Daqin's catapult had no intention of stopping, Antioch III simply used the trick.

The city on Seliu, which is the same as the city of Daqin, has four gates. The main gate is now being attacked by the Qin scattering machine. As it was dark, Antioch III and his confidant each took tens of thousands of people and walked out of the city from the two side gates and rushed straight to the Qin cavalry who were protecting the scattering machine behind. Obviously, whether it was Antioch III or other generals of Daqin, they wanted to replicate their previous achievements. At this time, they still believed that as long as they could be equal to the death and injury of the Qin soldiers, they would win again this time.

But in this way, Antioch III really imagined the generals of the Qin Dynasty a bit too simple. Han Xin and Meng Tian, ​​two long-standing generals, have hardly studied anything else these days, just studying what Antioch III thought. By this time, the Seleuthians had almost fully understood the idea of ​​Han Xin and Meng Tian. They concluded that Antioch III would make the same choice as last time under the threat of the power of the trencher, and the result was just as Han Xin and Meng Tian imagined.

The reason why they didn't bring out the 100,000 cavalry who were well-known for their formations last time was that they were a little tired after experiencing a battle. Han Xin and Meng Tian wanted to give them a good rest, so this time, they had already cultivated their spirits and appeared again. It was obvious that they were all waiting to harvest the enemy's heads and see if they could get the title they had dreamed of after this war ended.

The Great Qin cavalry with this idea is undoubtedly very terrifying, especially when Antioch III's estimates of what he was about to face at this time were still somewhat insufficient.

Once the two armies fought, just one stick of incense, Antioch had already discovered something was wrong, but when he found out, his team had almost no way to withdraw. At this moment, Antioch III suddenly realized that he might really be unable to protect Seleu.

Before, he relied on the most on the impact and combat power of the Seliu cavalry during the battle. He really didn't know what to do to turn the situation around this time. Not to mention, when facing the real elite cavalry of the Qin Dynasty, the Seliu cavalry had too much less combat power. If such a battle happened three times, he would definitely be a commander without a single shot. Now, it has happened twice.

"Is Seleu really going to perish?"

Seeing that although the soldiers under his command had tried their best, they could not shake the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty, Antioch III urged the war horses and wanted to join in. He even thought of death, thinking that if he died in such a battle, would he be relieved?

But a guard behind him saw his intentions and grabbed him at the last moment.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the documents given to us by a distant dynasty, which once said that as long as we Seleu agree to become his vassal state..."

The guard saw that Antioch III's eyes were already a little red. He should really want to die with the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty in this battle. He had an idea in his head, and the gods and ghosts told him what happened three or four years ago.

As soon as he heard what his guard said, Antioch III's brows frowned. He clearly remembered how furious he was when he received this letter. He almost tore the letter in public. In the end, he was persuaded by his court officials and barely held a banquet to entertain the envoy who came from this far place and sent him back. After all, according to the envoy, the place he came from was far more powerful than Seleu. If it weren't for Seleu being a little far away from them and their monarch was unwilling to work hard, destroying Seleu would be just a move.

Antioch III did not fully believe the words of the envoy. He believed that in this world, dynasty that could be as powerful as the Mauryan Dynasty was already very rare.

But now, when Daqin's sudden appearance reminded him of the words in the letter again, he couldn't help but believe it a little.

After pausing for a moment, Antioch III took a deep breath, as if he had made some major decision at this moment.
