Han Xin also knew that if you should ask someone for advice, you really have to ask for advice.

Ying Gao once told Han Xin that if he could really learn all Meng Tian’s abilities, his ability would be really great.

"General, now we have occupied a city in Seleu, and they have seen the ability of our cavalry after using the formation. In the future, with the ability of Seleu's monarch Antioch III, we should be stuck in their defense line and will not give us such a chance. How should we attack in this way?"

This time, Ying Gao directly asked to become Han Xin's deputy. Although Meng Tian couldn't see it on his face, he knew that as an old Qin man, he must put the overall situation first. However, there were still a lot of dissatisfaction in Meng Tian's heart. After all, Han Xin was still far behind him by age and qualifications. Moreover, although Meng Tian had not lived in Xianyang City for a long time, he also heard that Ying Gao seemed very friendly to the Qin nobles. Such an arrangement made him think that this might be another blow to the Qin nobles.

After this first battle, not to mention anything else, Meng Tian recognized Han Xin a lot.

Since he reached the territory of the Huns, Meng Tian has almost deliberately not put forward any constructive ideas, and his purpose is nothing more than to see Han Xin's ability.

From the sudden news that the enemy was fleeing, Han Xin's decision and performance did not disappoint Meng Tian. If he were the head coach, he might not have done better. Although Antioch III did not cause a truly devastating blow to the enemy because of the rapid reaction of Antioch III, this has nothing to do with Han Xin.

Simply put, this series of operations has made Han Xin a qualified coach in Meng Tian's heart. Meng Tian is such a person. If you have strong abilities, I will accept you. If you don't have much ability, it will definitely not work.

So, when Han Xin asked him for advice at this time, Meng Tian was not repelled at all.

"Aren't we going with us this time there were some siege machines and other siege equipment? After we delayed the battle with this time for so long, I think those siege machines are about to arrive, right? The Seleuths must have never seen these objects."

Meng Tian’s meaning is very obvious, that is, it is not suitable for people to attack the city that Seliu lies in front of them, which will only cause tens of casualties, so the most suitable time at this time is to use equipment.

"According to the quality of the Seleu defenders, I am afraid that simply relying on the catapult can't break through their defense!" After hearing Meng Tian's words, Han Xin sighed slightly, obviously he was a little worried about the role that the catapult can play.

Seeing Han Xin like this, Meng Tian smiled slightly and explained to Han Xin patiently.

"Those catapults cannot completely shake the defense of the Seleu people, but the catapults were destroyed by the Seleu people. We still open in Xianyang City and can create more catapults. However, if our well-trained cavalrymen were killed by the Seleu people, it would be difficult to train them again. The emperor once said that one move would decline again and then go out. Now the Seleu people are guarding the city with united unity. We naturally need to avoid their sharp edges for the time being, and the best way to avoid the sharp edges is these catapults. After the catapults are used up, we will naturally have new opportunities."

After hearing this, Han Xin digested Meng Tian's words well before nodding with a smile. Obviously, Meng Tian's words benefited Han Xin a lot.

Han Xin is indeed a resourceful general, but because he is still a little short of thirty years old, he must imagine a plan from the perspective of victory.

Meng Tian’s words today made Han Xin realize that sometimes he took a small step, but in fact, it is really possible to achieve better results.

For example, if you follow Han Xin's prior idea in this battle, you will definitely send a team of troops to attack the city. Regardless of whether there are casualties or not, you must see how capable the enemy is.

But after Meng Tian said this, Han Xin became more and more imaginative. At this time, the enemy's fighting spirit to defend the city is the most high. At this time, using a lifeless catapult to attack, even if it cannot cause too much casualties to the enemy, it will definitely be able to rub the enemy's sharpness. If the sharpness is always present, the combat power will sometimes be almost exponentially improved, but once the sharpness is gone, it may be a situation of swelling thousands of miles.

"What the general said is really reasonable. We have been cultivating well in this city these days. When the stone catapult and other equipment arrive, it will be the beginning of our attack!"

After thinking silently for a while, Han Xin expressed his final decision. This time, it was obviously necessary to arrange it exactly as Meng Tian said. Although doing so would delay a few days, there were still several months left before Ying Gao stipulated that the time for them to take down Seliu. They were not in a hurry. Moreover, even if they stayed in this city, the oppression brought to the Seliu people was a huge amount of force. The army of 300,000 will always be a big deal in this land.

After making a plan, Han Xin and Meng Tian were busy making arrangements. At this time, Antioch III, who returned to their city, kept paced in the mansion, and his face was also very bored.

He was thinking about how to break the tacit cooperation between the Qin cavalry in battle, but after thinking for a full day, there was still no good way. He had experienced many battles and knew that such a tactic would definitely take no time to practice, and Seleu's cavalry had not experienced such practice, so he would definitely not be able to master it in a short period of time.

"It seems that we can no longer compete with the enemy's cavalry, otherwise, the 100,000 elite cavalry can consume our Seleu's cavalry on the battlefield!"

Finally, in the expectant eyes of many generals under his command, Antioch III said something very disappointing.

In fact, the generals who participated in this battle with Antioch III also knew this truth, but they had always hoped that Antioch III could come up with some cracking methods. However, judging from the current results, even Antioch III, who was outstanding in their eyes, could not crack those strange formations, which obviously cast a shadow on the war to guard Seleu.

"What should we do? What we Seliu cavalry is best at is the charge head-on with the enemy. Now if we cannot compete with the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty in terms of our own strengths, where will we go?"

As soon as Antioch III finished speaking, a general couldn't help but feel sad, and said this sentence almost with tears in his eyes.

"Don't panic. Since the Qin Dynasty dares to attack Seliu, it doesn't mean that they are very confident in their cavalry combat effectiveness? Now we know what they are good at at a very painful price. Isn't it a good thing? In this way, we have to use other strategies instead."

Antioch III's words temporarily stabilized the morale of his people. He looked at his generals, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Now we are millions of people from Seleu. If our level is broken, Seleu and millions of people will become slaves of the Qin Dynasty. We will never allow this situation to happen. Seleu is now considered to be a good soldier and sufficient food. Although head-on confrontation cannot take advantage, our purpose is not to kill many soldiers from the Qin Dynasty, but to guard me Seleu. So from this moment on, we will not take the initiative. As long as we defend here, the enemy is traveling a long distance. If this battle took a year and a half, the food consumed by the 300,000 army will not be a small amount, and they will naturally retreat when the time comes!"

Although Antioch III said it very nicely, it was just the same thing in the final analysis. We can't beat others and can only hide in the city and not go out.

But after a series of practices, this statement was recognized by his subordinates. Everyone knows that going out is a death, who dares to go out, right?

According to Antioch III's prediction, Han Xin would continue to lead his army to attack their place within a few days, but the fact was that a long time had passed, and Han Xin still had no movement.

Antioch III sent scouts to inquire about the news almost every day, but almost all the rewards received were the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty rested in the city where Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng were before.

Just when Antioch III was a little surprised, almost ten days had passed, he finally received a reward from his scout, saying that a large group of troops came out of the city and rushed to Seleu's hinterland.

However, the difference between this time and the last time is that not only did not have so many people, the marching speed was not very fast, and it was even a bit slow.

The fact is indeed the same as the news received by Antioch III, the Qin Dynasty sent troops, and the marching speed was indeed very slow, but the reason for the slowness was not intentional, but the fact that there were a lot of catapults in this team.

Since Zhang Kai made two catapults last time and played a very important role in the process of driving the mountain, everyone discovered the role that this portable catapult can play in siege. After the news was sent back to the Qin Dynasty, under the instructions of Ying Gao, the catapult object began to be transformed and mass-produced. The purpose of course was to adapt to the requirements of the siege.

Within a year, Zhang Kai and his entire team have lived up to expectations. Not only has the size of the catapult transformed into smaller and more portable, but the power has not decreased compared to before.

After the transformation of the catapult was successful, Ying Gao immediately transported almost 100 catapults made by Zhang Kai and worked overtime to Fahrenheit.

At that time, Meng Tian and Lu Jia thought that this thing would not be used for a while, so they didn't have to be transported here in such a hurry. However, this was Ying Gao's death order. Not only did they have to be transported to Fahrenheit City, but the garrisons around Fahrenheit City also had to learn how to use this catapult.

At this time, Meng Tian finally realized how foresighted Ying Gao was. As long as the enemy did not leave the city in the siege, the cavalry would definitely not play any great role, so the catapult was used at this time.

When it comes to attack Seliu, not only the 100 catapults in Fahrenheit were sent to use, but there are nearly 200 catapults set out with Han Xin. These catapults have not yet arrived in Fahrenheit, and after they arrive, they will still be involved in this attack on Seliu.

At the beginning, because the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty was sergeant in front and the catapult was behind, the Seleu people really didn't find any clues.

But when the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty reached not far from the city where the Seleuth were stationed, the catapults truly revealed their true colors.

"What, Daqin actually brought a hundred unknown siege equipment to my Seliu's territory?"

After Antioch III learned the news, he was obviously very surprised, because according to common sense, there would be no more equipment for such a long-distance conquest.

Because the siege equipment that appeared in this era was very bulky and inconvenient to carry. Moreover, according to Antioch III's understanding of the Qin Dynasty, they did not use any siege equipment when they attacked the Mauryan Dynasty, but now these equipment appeared in Seleu's territory, which is really unreasonable.

However, through later understanding, Antioch III discovered that these siege equipment were just cars larger than carriages, and from a structural point of view, they were designed to throw stones.

"How can such a small object cause any damage to my city of Seliu of such a size? The people of the Qin Dynasty really looked down on me, Seliu. Now we want them to see how strong my city of Seliu is!"
