Meng Tian had nothing to say about Ying Gao being in this most dangerous city, because he knew that Ying Gao obviously would not return to a safe place just because he said anything. He came here just because Ying Gao wanted to understand the real situation of the soldiers under his command.

"What are the casualties between our army and the enemy in this nearly timely battle?"

The issue of casualties is naturally what Ying Gao is most concerned about, because Ying Gao knew that since the enemy used a large number of ladders, enemy soldiers would have successfully climbed to the city from time to time. Moreover, there were many Roman equipment, and hooks and locks were used very widely. From the third day, the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty began to suffer casualties.

"In the past few days, the enemy has taken turns to attack, and within a few hours, the soldiers who attacked our city will be replaced for rest. Because they have at least 200,000 troops, they are not worried about the shortage of troops. However, our army has eliminated at least 50,000 enemy troops, and our army has suffered more than 10,000 injuries, mostly Hun cavalry who are not good at defending..."

Meng Tian was very relaxed to say such a battle result. After all, seeing that the enemy had been destroyed by him at least one-fifth of it, Meng Tian still had some confidence to fight.

"If we continue to fight, we may lose more, right?"

Of course, Ying Gao didn't have to consider whether he would give Meng Tian a face or not. In his mind, the trend of fighting was like this. Whether it was Meng Tian or anyone else, he would definitely not be able to do so in the next ten days, he would have fewer casualties than before, and the Romans suffered more casualties than before.

"That's true, but we can still guard for at least twenty days. If there is no news about General Han Xin within twenty days, the enemy's casualties will be more than half. At that time, the number of our army and the enemy will probably not be as big as ten. When our army's supplies are about to be used up, instead of letting the enemy attack our city, it is better to use the remaining soldiers and go out of the city to fight the enemy unexpectedly. In this way, even if the tens of thousands of people guarding the city before were all damaged, the Romans will definitely not have the power to attack. I hope you will think about this matter very much!"

Ying Gao knew at first glance that Meng Tian's heart, which was eager to attack, was not defeated even in such a long battle to defend the city. Although Meng Tian completed the task of defending the city very successfully at this time, what he really thought about was always when it was a good time to go out of the city to counterattack.

Ying Gao knew that as a general with very mature experience, Meng Tian would definitely not attack for the sake of attack. Since he dared to raise this matter in front of him, it means that this matter must be quite feasible in his heart. Therefore, Ying Gao also thought about the feasibility of what Meng Tian said, and finally said lightly: "In the future, the general will come here again, and I will make a decision at that time."

Meng Tian knew that even if he said something, Ying Gao could not agree to his things directly, so he had to leave. Of course, he knew in his heart that if there were far fewer people left in the city than the Romans in twenty days, Ying Gao would definitely not allow him to do that.

The next twenty days will undoubtedly be a very difficult twenty days for the Qin defenders. Although the Romans suffered heavy losses in the early stage, these were all losses within their plan. Seleu's defenders were mainly less than 50,000 Great Qin soldiers. If one of the Great Qin soldiers died, one was missing. Apart from them, both the Macedonians and the Huns could not operate them skillfully.

As expected by the Roman consuls, in the initial heavy losses, they lost fewer people every day than before, which shows that the defense routines of the people of Daqin have been understood by them. As long as they persist and persist until the equipment of Daqin defending the city was almost consumed, they would naturally be able to break through the gate of Daqin's city, and he knew that he was getting closer to this day.

The only thing that the Roman consuls was a little incomprehensible was that the Qin people had no less troops here than themselves, so why did they have to deal with themselves in the city without leaving the city and facing themselves head-on.

No matter how hard he cannot understand it, the war has reached such a level, and he really doesn't want to fight against the Qin people. Now the momentum of this war is obviously being brought back bit by bit by bit by bit by the Romans. In this case, of course, what he thought about was whether he could go directly into the city and use the psychological advantages of his soldiers to end the war directly.

Everyone has his own abacus in his heart, but everyone also knows that the opponent's abacus must be different from his own.

At this time, there was a tense atmosphere everywhere in Seliu's several cities. Although the Qin Dynasty had not occupied Seliu for a long time, the Qin's policies made the people of Seliu regard the Qin as a place where they could belong for a long time.

Zhao Gang was placed under house arrest by Ying Gao in a mansion with the same city as him. Although he could not leave the yard, the comments of the soldiers guarding him could be conveyed to his ears from time to time. He knew that the city was being subjected to fierce attacks from the Romans, and even the soldiers guarding him did not know how long the city could last. Moreover, the emperor of the Qin Dynasty was now in this city.

"He really didn't leave? Zhao Hu is here, so I'm guessing the bet with him?"

Zhao Gang sat alone in the room, muttering all this in his mouth, sighed slightly. He didn't know if Ying Gao would care about him if the city was broken. In that case, if he escaped, would he wait for him to return to that village and wait for him to punish him. After all, he had not tested the primitives all the way, which could be said to be completely contrary to Qin's law. Even if he didn't die, he didn't know how long he would have to spend in corvee service.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gang really hoped that these soldiers of the Qin Dynasty could defend this city. Even though the other party was determined to let him join them, he was a Roman and a foreigner after all.

While Zhao Gang was thinking, his door suddenly opened, and the footsteps of several people appeared in his ears. He knew that the person who came was Ying Gao, the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, because Ying Gao had ordered Zhao Gang to enter and exit at will when he left.

"Why did you have time to come to me? The war outside is what you should pay more attention to, right?"

After the first two exchanges, Zhao Gang already knew that Ying Gao was a person who didn't like to talk a lot. Although he was the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, he didn't seem to care about the red tape very much, but he cared more about whether what you told him was the truth.

"In the war, I only need to set a major direction and goal. This is my accusation. To go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and command the battle, that is the duty of the soldiers. I have appointed the soldiers, so I naturally have to believe them. Here, I just want to tell you that I and you won the bet before. The Roman army has been attacking under Seliu City for a long time, and Zhao Hu is also among them. Therefore, I pardon you all the things you committed that violated the Qin law before. After you go back, you will be an ordinary citizen in the village. But if you violate the Qin law again in the future, I will not pardon you."

Although Ying Gao's words were not without warning, Zhao Gang suddenly felt relieved for a while. He was like a big rock before, after all, he had done more than a little. As the elite among the dead soldiers under Zhao Gao's previous command, he had long known how many tasks Zhao Gao had given him. Now, Ying Gao waved his hand and didn't ask what he had done before. He just pardoned him, of course, which made him very useful.

"Since I can return to that village, I will naturally live there happily. With me, not only those children, but also everything in this village will be well protected."

Zhao Gang is not a wise person. He also knows that his identity is difficult to gain Ying Gao's re-trust. It is a great commendation for him to continue to live on the land of Daqin as the person he wants.

"Since you have this idea, after you go back, I will let you be the official in this village. If you really want to do your part for me, Daqin, you will naturally know how to do it."

As soon as Ying Gao said this, Zhao Gang couldn't help but admire Ying Gao a little more. What he had thought before was completely judged by the heart of a villain. The emperor did not want to care about the things he had done before. In this position, he said that he was small and small, but compared with ordinary people, it was absolutely different.

Moreover, Zhao Gang had said before that the reason he came was to protect Liu Bang's child. Ying Gao was able to know through these that the relationship between him and Liu Bang's child was extraordinary. Even in this case, Ying Gao still believed in him, which means that he really let go of Liu Bang's child. He let Liu Bang's child go not to gain fame in the territory of the Qin Dynasty, but because he really didn't want to kill such a young child. In other words, he would not hurt someone who thought he was innocent. Zhao Gang thought about it for a while, but he didn't expect any monarch to be like this.

"Even though you are lenient, whether it is the people or the official, I am a member of the Qin Dynasty, not for anyone to serve you."

Zhao Gang's promise was obviously very satisfied with Ying Gao. He nodded slightly, leaving a sentence: "If I retreat from this city, I will take you with me, but the possibility of such a situation happening is very low!"

After saying this, Ying Gao walked out of the courtyard with simplicity. He could not tell that the city was being besieged by 200,000 of the most elite soldiers of Rome.

As time goes by, the casualties of both sides are getting closer and closer every day. The Romans' ladder is very strong and once it is laid on the wall of the Qin Dynasty, it is very difficult to destroy. Before destroying the ladder, there will always be many enemy troops climbing from the ladder to the top of the city and killing some defenders. Fortunately, this situation did not happen on a large scale. The Huns and Macedonians who are not good at operating Qin crossbows and catapults are all staring at the ladder that has already been on the top of the city, and have never let the Romans climb up on a large scale.

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye that Meng Tian said to Ying Gao. Compared with the beginning, both the offense and defense were already very tired.

But even in this case, the Romans still suffered no more than 100,000, and more than 20,000 of them were not their own elite soldiers, but sergeants mixed in to do dirty work and tiring work and depended on their power.

Such losses were fully affordable by the Romans, and after nearly a month of hard work, they also wiped out nearly 50,000 defenders.

The Roman consul seemed to have seen the defenders who were about to run out of ammunition and food. He told his generals that the enemy would probably stop defending in an instant and flee in panic.

His guess was indeed very accurate. Among the people lost by the Qin defenders, nearly 20,000 were Daqi's own cavalry. In other words, there were only more than 20,000 soldiers left in Daqin, and the rest were the Huns and Macedonians.

And not only that, the arrows of the giant Qin crossbow and the round special stone scattering machine were almost consumed. According to the statistics of the defenders, it can only last for another three days at most.

According to Ying Gao's prediction, if everything goes well, Han Xin's side should have ended the battle for some time. If the Romans immediately sent the news to the place where their consuls were, this time would have arrived soon.

But now judging from the positive momentum of the Romans' attack, they obviously don't know what the Romans are facing. As long as they don't know, Seleu's threat will always be there, and there is nothing else around that can distract the Romans.

"Your Majesty, three days later, if you don't agree with us going out of the city to meet the enemy, you can only withdraw from the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty. The enemy still has at least 100,000 elite troops. Once it is covered and killed in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, there will probably be a disaster along the way!"

Obviously, Meng Tian made the final effort in front of Ying Gao. He definitely didn't want to withdraw just like this and leave the entire Seleu to the Romans. After all, there are still many warriors in the city who have the power to fight.
