Chapter 618

Cavalry is different from infantry because they also need to control war horses, so cavalry usually mainly fights individually.

Another point is that compared with infantry, although the training cost of cavalry is much higher and they also require excellent variety of war horses, the marching speed of cavalry is not known how much faster than infantry.

For ethnic groups like Rome and Qin who have begun to step out of their original territory and began to conquer the world, infantry is meaningless. If they want to attack an enemy from a distance, they can only use cavalry, and also elite cavalry. If they use infantry to expedition, they will not know the year of the Monkey and Horse Month.

Therefore, in a powerful dynasty like Rome, the cavalry only focused on individual combat capabilities, but not on any formation. Finally, today, when it came to Seleu, they paid the price when facing the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty.

However, the elite of Rome were the elite of Rome, which was not the same as those before. In terms of individual combat capabilities, the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty was actually not as good as the cavalry of the Romans.

For the first time, the formation of Daqin was no longer cutting melons and vegetables. Although the Romans also suffered casualties, they were not inferior in number and had a strong confidence, and had an indomitable momentum. Under such circumstances, the formation of Daqin began to gradually show signs of loosening.

But this situation was not something Han Xin and Meng Tian didn't expect at all. Of course, they knew that they could not deal with Roman cavalry by dealing with people who were nothing.

Once a small team of five people is killed by the enemy, the lonely people nearby will immediately add to form a battle formation to minimize losses and avoid one-on-one battles with the enemy.

By this method, the Qin Dynasty was not at all at a disadvantage in the battle with the Roman cavalry.

Although the scene was the Roman sword flying rapidly in the air, making the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty very passive, in fact, such a scene could not reflect any casualties. Although the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty also suffered casualties, there were only a few more than the Romans.

"The Qin cavalry actually used such a complex combat method. Our elite cavalry only had 100,000. If we continued to waste like this, it would definitely be a loss-win situation. Let's stop this battle!"

The two Roman chiefs did not participate in the battle personally, but watched, but they were not very satisfied with the situation.

Although I have heard from several channels that the combat effectiveness of the Qin cavalry is very strong, I have not had such a force before. In the end, it was proved that it was much worse than their Roman cavalry. They originally thought that the Qin was just like this, but when they looked at it, it was obviously not like this.

"Yes, our Roman cavalry is precious and cannot be consumed like this. However, if we retreat like this, it will not be our style. We let the army on both sides cover up and kill us when the chaos is in chaos. Although this will lose some of the cavalry on both sides, it will also be a consumption for the Qin cavalry."

After discussing, the two of them would definitely consume the Qin Dynasty by sacrificing some cavalry sent by relying on their forces, and their elite troops wanted to withdraw after discovering the strength of the Qin Dynasty cavalry.

Whenever the cavalry on both sides of the Romans had a move, Han Xin knew what they meant. After all, according to the proportion of casualties, the Qin Dynasty still had some advantages.

But this situation was just in line with Han Xin's intention. Although they had a slight advantage in casualties, the Qin Dynasty had only 100,000 elite soldiers. It took Han Xin and Meng Tian a lot of effort to train the formation. Only they themselves knew that if both of them were defeated with the Roman cavalry, Han Xin and Meng Tian would not be willing to bear it.

In fact, this game is about who feels distressed first and who is reluctant to let go first. If that happens, this person will not be far from losing. Now it is obviously the Romans who feel distressed first.

"They want to consume us by Tian Ji's horse racing method, but we still don't let them go. Now we can understand the combat power of Rome. We can't play with them like this anymore. Philip V and Xiang Yu have been watching the fun for a long time. This time we should let them appear!"

After Han Xin and Meng Tian said this, Meng Tian agreed very much. After watching the Roman elite soldiers slowly retreat, they also asked their cavalry to quickly retreat to the city.

By the time the soldiers on both sides of the Romans rushed over, the Qin cavalry had already retreated.

What surprised the Romans was the strange behavior of the Qin cavalry. They actually withdrew when they had a lot of advantages. This was really incredible.

But this is also good for the Romans. After all, although they cannot say that they failed in this battle, the losses are real. If the surprise attack is not possible, they must think of a more advanced method. In just a few days, Seleu has become a very difficult bone for them.

What the Romans didn't know was that on the night after Han Xin and Meng Tian withdrew from the city, several scouts of the Qin Dynasty rode out of the city and headed in two different directions.

"Hmph, did the two guys, Daqin, have they thought of relying on them to destroy the Romans' 300,000 troops? This time, he must have hit a wall, and then he thought of us!"

After humming this, Philip V summoned a more capable general under his command to his side, and gave a few words to his ear. Then the general arrived in a large camp in Macedonia, ordered a total of 70,000 or 80,000 cavalry, and set off in a mighty manner.

Earlier, Xiang Yu, who was already on the border between Seleu and the Mauryan Dynasty, also received a letter from Han Xin. According to the agreement, he attacked the Roman camp on three sides five days later.

Xiang Yu's preparation time was still very sufficient, because although Philip V's troops had already been prepared, they were still a certain distance from Seleu. This time, they had to wait until all the troops from the three sides gathered to start attacking the Roman camp. Otherwise, it would be difficult to cause any devastating blow to them.

In the next five days, the Romans formulated several strategies and carried out a series of attacks on several cities of Seleu. However, unlike before, this time the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty seemed to be timid and kept huddled in the city, and even head-on battles with the Romans.

This made the Roman generals relax a little. They thought that the Qin Dynasty had only a few elite soldiers, and they no longer dared to have any head-on conflicts with the Romans at this point. If this is true, according to their past experience, as long as they continue to put pressure on the defenders in the city, they will sooner or later give up this city. Once they give up this city, the remaining city will definitely be unstoppable.

Five days passed, and the Great Qin cavalry had no action except to shoot arrows on the city walls, which further strengthened the confidence of the Romans. They believed that the Great Qin cavalry was really afraid of them.

The fifth day passed like this. After nightfall, everything seemed to be the same as before, but for Han Xin and Meng Tian, ​​it was different.

Late yesterday night, they had received a signal from Philip V and Xiang Yu that they could start attacking the Roman camp as they originally planned. After receiving this news, Han Xin and Meng Tian were also making final preparations.

This battle will be an important battle to elevate the status of the Qin Dynasty to the same level as Rome and Macedonia. As long as this Roman arrogant cavalry can be eliminated, the historical status of the Qin Dynasty will immediately be unique.

In five days, the Romans' vigilance dropped a lot, but they still had their reasons for being able to sweep across various countries in the West. Their camp was very meticulous, and there were also many soldiers patrolling the outside world.

However, this situation is no longer a difference between the three troops of the Qin Dynasty, Macedonia and the Huns.

When the hour arrived, the cavalry in the three directions began to attack the Roman camp at the fastest speed.

The first one to be discovered was of course the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty. The Romans patrolling outside the camp found that the soldiers in the city rushed out at this time and informed their generals as soon as possible.

"They actually attacked our camp at this time. I really don't know the vigilance of our Roman cavalry. We no longer know how much such a battle has been fought. Let the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty experience our combat effectiveness tonight!"

After the general finished speaking, he would start to lead his troops to teach Han Xin and Meng Tian how to be a human being, but the next two news made his mood turn 180 degrees.

"General, there are also a large number of cavalrymen attacking their camps on the west and north!"

There are enemies in all directions, which is definitely something that the Roman generals did not expect. Their first reaction was of course that the Qin Dynasty separated the troops, and there were more than 200,000 people on the Qin Dynasty. If they separated, they would not be afraid.

"The Qin Dynasty actually divided our troops. These three armies were tens of thousands of troops. As long as we attacked the entire city gate, this city would be ours!"

After judging the current situation, the Roman general said to his men. After saying this, he personally led his army to fight against the Qin army rushing towards the city gate, but casually sent tens of thousands of people to resist the troops in the other two directions.

If Xiang Yu and Philip V really did not participate in this battle, the Romans would have done this right, but the current situation is obviously not the case.

Judging from the scene of the battle at the beginning, it was obvious that the three troops of Daqin's raid did not succeed, and the battle seemed to be very fierce.

But half an hour later, the situation was different. When the Roman generals received the news, the enemy on both sides were almost beaten by the enemy, and there were two news that was very fatal to the Romans.

"General, the enemies on both sides do not seem to be the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty that we had fought with before. One side seems to be the cavalry of Philip V, and we have never seen the other side!"

"What, Daqin actually hooked up with Macedonia?"

This is obviously the worst news that the Romans could know now. Macedonia is the most powerful enemy they think in the world. If Macedonia really joins this battle, the balance of victory will no longer be the same as they imagined.

This news made the Roman generals feel as if they were struck by lightning. If the enemy on one side was the elite of Philip V, it would obviously not take long for those unsatisfactory cavalry to be wiped out. At that time, I would face the situation of attacking on both sides, and the attacking on both sides between the Great Qin cavalry and the cavalry under Philip V were attacking on both sides.

The Roman cavalry had not fallen into such an awkward situation for a long time, and the two generals fell into silence. Although they both knew that the best result for them now was to withdraw from the side without enemies, that is, the direction they came from, but none of them made such a proposal. The reason was very simple. If the Roman cavalry failed so simply, they knew what would be the one who would go back to greet them.

Sometimes it is a good thing to stand on a high place, but the only bad thing is that it is very painful to fall from a high place to the ground. Obviously, this is the case now for the Romans.

Hesitation will also put them in a more embarrassing situation. They originally thought that as long as the people from Philip V could resist it for a while, it would be fine, but the facts proved that the more underestimated the more it was the more terrifying it was. Xiang Yu, the first to kill the enemy troops around him.

Xiang Yu has been silent for a long time since he conquered the Mauryan Dynasty. Now he finally has a chance. After fighting, he found that the opponent was all the same, so of course he would not be ruthless. In addition, Xiang Yu brought a total of 100,000 elite troops, which was 20,000 or 30,000 more cavalry than Philip V, so it was Xiang Yu who first opened the situation.

"General, we have no advantage on all three sides. Once we are surrounded, we will be unable to fly today! It is better to withdraw our troops quickly, return to Rome and inform the consul of this matter, and make plans!"
