This time the Romans had at least done enough to deal with known dangers. When they passed the Qin crossbow range of the Qin Dynasty, thick shields were erected.

It turns out that although the shield cannot stop the warriors from being shot by Qin crossbow, at least they will not have the previous situation of wearing candied haws. This made the Roman consul who was still supervising the battle behind him feel a little relieved. After all, the situation of several eagles with one shot was too great to have a blow to morale. He needed to make progress, and this was exactly the progress he wanted.

The range of Qin crossbows has a range. Indeed, it is difficult for Qin crossbows to play a role as long as the Romans enter a distance from the city wall. However, the Roman soldiers were more cautious after passing Qin crossbows, because they knew that Qin crossbows were still known to attack, but what they would face later was not what they could expect. Although no one among them thought that they could break the city gate after the first attack, being able to go back alive was better than anything else.

According to the arrangement of the Roman consul, these troops did not directly attack until they were all damaged, but would retreat after three or four hours and replace them with other teams to achieve an uninterrupted attack on the city.

The benefits of doing this are obvious, which will prevent the Roman elite from losing confidence because they are participating in a siege that they know they cannot do it.

Seeing that the arrows on his head gradually disappeared, the team of Roman cavalry hurriedly reorganized their formation and guarded the siege equipment in the middle of the team. Even if the person transporting the siege equipment lost his combat power due to the arrows, his companions around him could quickly push up. In this way, after the rain of arrows, their engineering equipment was not damaged at all.

Meng Tian, ​​who had already arrived at the top of the city, saw these details. He knew that the opponents he faced this time were very difficult, and he also knew that every wave of new Romans who came to attack the city would be even more difficult to deal with. He still had a lot of trump cards in his hand, but if the trump cards were not needed, it could not be called trump cards. So Meng Tian knew that he had to do his best to kill the Romans under the city, otherwise, once the city gate was finally broken, the fatal weakness of insufficient defenders in the city would be known by the Romans, and that would not be a Seleu problem.

Thinking of this, Meng Tian looked at the rows of small trenchers parked on the top of the city.

These trenchers are being placed at a strange angle at this time. If you study it carefully, you will find that once these trenchers launch stones, the stones will be thrown high into the air and then land ten minutes away from the city wall.

This design was originally designed by Zhang Kai. Not only here, but also wherever it involves defending the city, it can be applied.

These catapults placed here are like Qin crossbows, and they are all heavy weapons that only exist in the Qin Qin Dynasty. Originally, the catapults were not so troublesome. If they were placed normally, the distance between the catapults would overlap with the Qin crossbows, so Zhang Kai came up with such a way to have the best of both worlds.

For the Qin Dynasty, this was indeed a good idea, but it was not so beautiful for the Romans. When they arrived at a place closer to the city gate, there were only some stones falling on the city wall.

Originally, they thought that the Qin people had only these abilities, and Qin crossbows were their only reliance. As long as they could raise their siege equipment and start to attack the city gate, the seemingly very strong city gate could not withstand many impacts, and they would definitely be breached by them.

However, this idea did not exist for long after it arose. Just as these Roman warriors were all focused on fiddling with their siege equipment, suddenly, many soldiers found that the stones falling beside them were already very large. When they looked back, they found that dense round stones were rolling densely beside them, and many of their companions were already dead under the stones.

What's even more terrifying is that these stones are all round. After landing, they will not stay in place honestly, but will roll on the ground randomly. This rolling not only caused damage to the Roman soldiers again, but also caused a huge loss to the siege equipment.

It was another perfect slack first and then tight, and it was even more a tactic of hard-to-get. The siege equipment that the Romans were proud of still failed to play its due role. Under the role of the catapult, even the elite of Rome would suffer heavy losses this time.

After using a wave of catapults, Meng Tian saw that the Romans' siege equipment had been smashed, so he stopped the catapults and continued to throw stones manually to make the Romans uncomfortable.

In this way, just two hours later, the Romans retreated because they thought all the siege equipment was damaged.

If the first time the Roman consul did this on purpose, then the second time was that the Romans wanted to show their true strength but did not show it.

The Roman consul had to pause his previous thoughts and return to the camp to discuss the next attack.

In fact, what the Roman consuls most did not expect from the two defeats was that the Qin Dynasty used a large number of equipment in this battle, from giant Qin crossbows to catapults, were all things that the Romans had never seen before, and their power was far from expected.

Now they can accurately hit siege equipment such as rushers close to the city gate, and told the Romans from another perspective that their previous tactics were completely impossible to work.

"If you attack with such a formation tomorrow, it will be the result as it is today. I don't know when it will take to break through the Seliu city gate."

The Roman consul sighed deeply in front of his generals and said this, which was obviously another confession of the failure of this strategy today.

But his words did not discourage the generals below, but instead inspired the passion of many generals. After all, even though the Qin Dynasty had various siege equipment, they never dared to go out of the city to fight the Romans, which made the Roman soldiers have many advantages in their hearts from beginning to end.

The Roman generals proposed many new offensive methods, and some even volunteered to be the pioneer of the next attack, but all the suggestions they made made the Roman consuls not very satisfied.

In the end, he looked at Zhao Hu, who had never spoken. Because of his mistakes in estimating Qin's posts before, Zhao Hu realized that the Qin Dynasty must have developed more weapons over the years, and some of them were definitely not something he could imagine. In this case, if he insisted on giving advice to the Romans according to the situation of the Qin Dynasty before, he would sooner or later become a sinner who failed this battle.

"You are the only one who knows the Great Qin Dynasty. Let's talk about it. When it reaches this point, how should we use the people in our hands?"

At this level, it is not a question whether Zhao Hu wants to say or not. He must stand up and say something, otherwise the Romans would think that this guy is indeed wrong. My race will have different intentions and will not want to help us attack Daqin at all.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Hu stood up and looked at the fighting spirit in the eyes of the Roman soldiers, and said loudly: "The craftsmen of the Qin Dynasty are indeed very pleasing. They can build giant Qin crossbows and catapults, but they do not have the fighting spirit in the hearts of our Roman warriors. Although the trump cards of the Qin people seem to have not been used up now, we can no longer attack them in order to spy on their trump cards. We must use our methods to let the Qin people know our true strength."

Speaking of this, basically all the Roman generals present focused their eyes on Zhao Hu. Obviously, Zhao Hu's words were as follows. After he finished speaking, he cleared his voice and began to make real information.

"Although Daqin has three cities, I don't believe they will have three main generals. Since we cannot easily defeat Seliu's three cities one by one, we can attack these three cities together. Each city sends 20,000 soldiers to force out all the cards of Daqin's trump cards in one battle. Moreover, in the previous battles, we have always wanted to directly break through Seliu's city gate. This is very difficult with the close cooperation of various cities defending equipment in Daqin. If we really want to break through Seliu's city gate, we must let the enemy know our determination. Not only do we work hard on the city gate, but also take attacking the city wall as one of our goals. In this way, we can have the possibility of breaking the city."

After Zhao Hu finished speaking, the consuls of Rome and the generals under him looked at each other. Zhao Hu's proposal was indeed very bold, but for them, it was a fierce medicine. Moreover, they were all cautiously tempted before, but the effect was not good. If they were suddenly ruthless at this time, the people of the Qin Dynasty might not be able to think about it.

Everyone thought of this level and actually nodded slightly at his proposal. They were obviously looking forward to the scene of attacking the three cities at the same time.

But at the same time, 60,000 elite soldiers were dispatched. Although the number of troops led by the Romans this time was very sufficient, it has to be said to be a very risky decision. If all the 60,000 people were taken down by the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, the remaining people would not have any morale.

But the Roman dictionary was full of confidence and arrogance, but they were not afraid of this word. Since someone dared to raise this matter, they would dare to do it if they thought it was right.

After thinking quietly for a while, the Roman consul slapped the table in front of him, as if he was about to smash the Qin Dynasty's defenders.

"Okay, I'll have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow, three armies will attack these three cities together. I want to see how many powerful generals can be in charge of the city. Tomorrow, we will throw the ladder into the battle. We cannot let the soldiers of the Qin army shoot at our army with peace of mind on the city wall. If there is a chance, we must also strive to destroy their crossbows and catapults on the city wall. Once any warrior can successfully climb the city wall of the Qin Dynasty, regardless of life or death, his family will become my Roman nobles!"

This is the benefit of power. When the Roman Senate was there before, he would never dare to say such words before the army, but now it is different. Now the whole of Rome is in his own hands. He said that whoever is a noble can become a noble is undoubtedly a great stimulation to the Roman soldiers. These Roman generals have almost seen the scene of the Roman soldiers climbing the city wall of Seleu in the war the next day. Indeed, as long as a Roman warrior climbs the city wall of Seleu in such a situation, the impact on the Qin defenders would be devastating.

After deciding on this matter, all the generals of Rome forgot about the two failures and went to mobilize their soldiers.

In the city of Daqin, Meng Tian and Ying Gao were of course not complacent because of repelling the Roman army this time. After the Romans retreated, Meng Tian sent people out of the city as soon as possible, with the purpose of first disposing of corpses that were too close to the city to avoid plagues, and the other was to pick up those still intact arrows and round stones dedicated to catapults. These things were treasures for them. Although the reserves in the city were still very sufficient for the time being, Meng Tian knew that he had to prepare for the future and could not just sit and eat the whole country.

After completing these things, Meng Tian called Ji Bu and came to the city where Ying Gao was.

"I gave Rome another blow today, why don't you have a trace of joy of victory on your face?" Ying Gaoyi asked with a smile when he saw the two people with a little frown.

"I, Daqin, is a defensive this time. Before we can hear from General Han Xin, even if we cannot win, even if we defended the enemy's dozens of attacks, we can only say that the war is not over yet. Moreover, after these two failures, the enemy did not rashly continue to attack, which means that they are digesting the trump card of our army. If we finally use up all our trump card, we will probably have to fight a war of attrition with them."
