Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

Seleucus, Great Qin-Roman Expeditionary Army

"General, the Romans have fallen into the trap. Their main army has penetrated deep into Asia Minor. According to the itinerary, they will enter our ambush area tomorrow!"

Zhou Bo took a battle report and rushed into the Chinese army's main tent with excitement on his face.

Now he is an ordinary staff officer under Meng Tian's account, following Meng Tian to experience in the Roman Expeditionary Army

"Very good, pass on the order, all the soldiers recharge their batteries, and fight the decisive battle with the Romans tomorrow!"

Meng Tian slapped his hands heavily on the table and said.

Next to him, Seleucid IV also had a flash of joy on his face.

At the beginning, there was no doubt within the Seleucid Kingdom about the transfer of military command to Da Qin. With great resistance, even the crown prince Seleucus IV was questioned a lot. Antiochus

III actually wanted to give it a try with the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse..

How can I say that the Great Qin Expeditionary Army is also dominated by cavalry. Even if the cavalry cannot defeat the infantry legions on the plains, they can still outrun them, right?

Even if they lose, Great Qin will definitely continue to send reinforcements out of dignity. , which can at least help the Seleucid Kingdom stabilize its defense line.

However, unexpectedly, Meng Tian led the vanguard of the expeditionary force composed of 10,000 Qin main force and 40,000 allied troops from the Western Regions. After arriving at the Seleucid Kingdom, they won many battles and were defeated continuously. The Romans attacked several times and achieved great results.

The success made Seleucid and his subordinates unable to believe their eyes.

Isn't this Qin man so good at fighting?

The Romans who used to show off their power in the past have now become the Qin commander. In front of the general, like a clumsy elephant, all kinds of things were divided and eaten away. In less than a week, tens of thousands of elites were lost. The

Roman commander had to collect the remaining defeated soldiers, retreat to the seaside, and ask for support from the country.

Originally The sluggish morale of the Seleucid Kingdom's army was instantly boosted. They also admired Meng Tian's superb command.

However, just when everyone thought that Meng Tian was going to pursue the victory and drive the Romans into the sea, However, Meng Tian ordered to retreat for hundreds of miles.

Although the Seleucid army was puzzled, they did not dare to have any objections.

Because according to the agreement with Da Qin, these lands were recovered from the Romans by the Da Qin expeditionary force, and the ownership Owned by Great Qin.

Even Antiochus III had nothing to say when they fought on their own land.

Of course, Antiochus III was inevitably a little aggrieved.

But he didn’t expect that the Romans now really Just as Meng Tian expected, when the reinforcements arrived, they ran into them desperately.

"The general is indeed a mastermind!"

Seleucid IV looked at Meng Tian with admiration and said

"Compared with His Highness the Prince, Meng Tian's ability is nothing more than the light of a firefly. How can he compete with the bright moon?"

Meng Tian smiled and shook his head.

Compared with the Central Plains Dynasty, the seven kingdoms competing for supremacy, the emergence of famous generals in large numbers, and various military strategies and tactics, these countries in the Western Regions at this moment simply couldn't be simpler.

Previously, the Seleucid Kingdom and The Romans fought with soldiers against soldiers, against generals, and the Macedonian phalanx and the Roman phalanx collided head-on on the battlefield.

After the Romans added long-range projectile weapons such as throwing spears and flying axes, they easily defeated the Seleucid Macedonians. The phalanx defeated the Seleucids steadily.

Meng Tian, Zhou Bo and others were dumbfounded.

Anyone who has read a few books on the military of the Qin Dynasty would not be so stupid!

Not to mention the current Qin Expeditionary Army. With cavalry as the main force, even the most traditional infantry phalanx in the Qin Dynasty can directly crush this group of Romans.

The power of the Qin crossbow is really easy to use against this group of heavy infantry who lack mobility.

"General, this time the Romans have gathered 200,000 elites, so we must not underestimate the enemy!"

Seleucus IV reminded.

Although the Great Qin Expeditionary Army had achieved excellent results against the Romans before, and now they are fighting in the area preset by Meng Tian, the total number is only 50,000, and the main force of the Qin Army is only one. Thousands.

As for the Seleucid Kingdom’s army, although it was more numerous than the Romans, its combat effectiveness was something that even Seleucus IV himself was embarrassed to mention.

Moreover, the Seleucid Kingdom’s army, which was mainly infantry, simply could not keep up with pure soldiers. The cavalry expeditionary force was, at best, just a bait to attract the attention of the Romans on the battlefield.

"When two armies are fighting, the outcome is never determined by the number of troops!"

"In the past, Meng Tian followed His Highness Fusu and defeated the Xiongnu, Da Yuezhi and Donghu. The enemy's cavalry numbered more than 100,000, while our Great Qin only had 10,000 elites."

"As a result, now the Xiongnu and Dayue clan no longer exist, and Donghu has also become a vassal state of our Great Qin, attacking foreign lands for our Great Qin."

Meng Tian glanced at the Seleucid generals and was speechless.

No wonder they were defeated by the Romans despite all the favorable conditions. This group of Seleucid generals were really ineffective.

But for the Qin Dynasty , That's good news.

The less effective the Seleucid army is, the more dependent it will be on Great Qin, and the smoother it will be for Great Qin to annex the Seleucid Kingdom in the future.

As the Protector of the Western Regions, Meng Tian's responsibilities include not only fighting, but also , that is, how to let Da Qin better control these subordinate countries.

"The general taught you a lesson!"

Seleucid IV quickly took the lead in accepting the promise, and was filled with shock.

The record of the Prince of Qin was too terrifying, wasn't it?

Such a record, as long as it can be achieved once, is enough to be called a legendary general in the Seleucid Kingdom..

As a result, Fusu created several times in a row, which was simply a miracle.

But this made Seleucus IV more confident.

Although the Asia Minor region was lost, these regions were originally occupied by the Romans. , now it is just replaced by the Great Qin.

And with the Great Qin Expeditionary Army blocking the front, the Seleucid Kingdom does not need to face the terrifying Romans and can sit back and relax.

Seleucid IV has decided to wait until the Great Qin Expeditionary Army wins After that, you must apply to Antiochus III to pay tribute to the Great Qin with a batch of treasures and strengthen the relationship with the Great Qin.

It would be perfect if Princess Seleucus could come to the Prince's Mansion as soon as possible.

Today's Seleucid Seleucus IV does not have the many thoughts of the past, and only thinks about peace and stability.

It is better to become a vassal state of Great Qin and be protected by Great Qin than to go against Great Qin.

Of course, if the Great Qin expeditionary force fails, Seleucus IV In this world, there may be new ideas.

But obviously, Meng Tian will not give Seleucus IV this opportunity.
