After the college entrance examination, bring a system to serve as a soldier

Chapter 203

Seleucus, Great Qin Roman Expeditionary Force.

"General, the Romans have been tricked, 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 big tent of the Chinese army with an excited face.

Now he is an ordinary staff officer under Meng Tian's account, and he has followed Meng Tian to train in the Roman expeditionary force.

"Very good, pass the order, all the soldiers recuperate, and tomorrow there will be a decisive battle with the Romans!"

Meng Tian slapped his hands on the table.

Seleucus IV on the side, his face also flashed with a hint of joy.

At the beginning, there was great resistance within the Seleucid Kingdom to transfer military command to Great Qin, and even Seleucus IV, the crown prince, was questioned a lot.

Antiochus III, in fact, also wanted to give it a try with the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

How can you say that the Great Qin Expeditionary Force is also dominated by cavalry, and the cavalry can deal with infantry legions on the plains, even if they can't beat it, they can run it, right?

Even if he loses, Daqin will definitely continue to send reinforcements for the sake of face, at least to help the Seleucid Kingdom stabilize its defensive line.

Unexpectedly, Meng Tian led the vanguard of the expeditionary force composed of 10,000 main forces of Great Qin and 40,000 allied troops of the Western Regions, and after arriving in the Seleucid Kingdom, he won many battles and defeated several Roman attacks in a row, and achieved rich results.

Smoothly made Seleucus not believe his eyes.

This Great Qin person is too capable of fighting, right?

The Romans, who were proud of their might in the past, were like clumsy elephants, but they were divided and eaten up in various ways, and in less than a week, they lost tens of thousands of elites.

The Roman commander had to gather the remnants of his defeated army, retreat to the seashore, and ask for reinforcements from home.

The morale of the army of the Seleucid Kingdom, which was originally sluggish, was boosted in an instant.

For Meng Tian's amazing command, I also admire it.

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

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

Because according to the agreement with Daqin, these lands belonged to the Great Qin Expeditionary Force and were recovered from the Romans, and the ownership belonged to Daqin.

People fought on their own land, even Antiochus III, and there was nothing to say.

Of course, Antiochus III inevitably felt a little aggrieved.

Unexpectedly, now the Romans, as Meng Tian expected, waited for the reinforcements to arrive, and directly crashed into them desperately.

"The Admiral is really clever!"

Seleucus IV looked at Meng Tian with admiration.

"Meng Tian's ability, compared to His Royal Highness the Prince, is just the light of fireflies, how can he compete with Haoyue!"

Meng Tian shook his head with a smile and said.

Compared with the Central Plains Dynasty, the Seven Kingdoms competing for power, the famous generals in large numbers, and various tactics and tactics of war, these countries in the Western Regions at this moment are simply simple and cannot be simpler.

In the past, the Seleucid kingdom and the Romans fought against each other, that is, soldiers against soldiers, generals 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 axes, they easily cracked the Macedonian phalanx of the Seleucids and defeated the Seleucids.

Meng Tian, Zhou Bo and the others who watched it were simply dumbfounded.

But anyone who has read a few books of Great Qin soldiers will not be stupid like this!

Not to mention that the Great Qin Expeditionary Force now has cavalry as the main force, which is the most traditional infantry phalanx in Great Qin, which can directly crush this group of Romans.

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

"General, this time the Romans have concentrated 200,000 elites, and they should not be underestimated!"

Seleucus IV reminded.

Although the Great Qin Expeditionary Force had achieved excellent results against the Romans before, and now it was fighting in the area preset by Meng Tian, the total number of people was only 50,000 after all, of which the main force of the Qin army was only 10,000.

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

Moreover, the army of the Seleucid Kingdom, which was dominated by infantry, could not keep up with the expeditionary force of pure cavalry at all, and at most it was just a bait on the battlefield to attract the attention of the Romans.

"When two armies fight, victory or defeat is never determined by the number of troops!"

"In the past, Meng Tian followed His Royal Highness Fusu, and even broke the Xiongnu, Dayue Clan and Donghu, and the enemy cavalry were all above 100,000, and I, Daqin, was only 10,000 elites. "

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

Meng Tian glanced at the Seleucid generals, and his heart was speechless.

It is no wonder that the Romans have been defeated and retreated by the Romans in all kinds of favorable conditions, and this group of Seleucid generals is really too unsuccessful.

But for Daqin, it was good news.

The more unsuccessful the Seleucid army is, the higher its dependence on Great Qin, and the smoother Great Qin's annexation of the Seleucid Kingdom will be in the future.

As the protector of the Western Regions, Meng Tian's duty, in addition to conquest, is how to make Great Qin better control these vassal states.

"The general taught me a lesson!"

Seleucus IV hurriedly took the lead in answering the promise, and his heart was also full of shock.

This Great Qin Prince's record is too terrifying, right?

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

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

However, this gave Seleucus IV more confidence.

Although the region of Asia Minor was lost, these areas were originally invaded by the Romans, and now they have only been replaced by Great Qin.

And with the Great Qin Expeditionary Force in the way, the Seleucid Kingdom did not need to face the terrible Romans, and could sit back and relax.

Seleucus IV had already decided that after the victory of the Great Qin Expeditionary Force, he must apply to Antiochus III to pay another batch of treasures to Great Qin and strengthen the relationship with Great Qin.

It would be perfect if Princess Seleucid could pass through the door to the prince's mansion as soon as possible.

Today's Seleucus IV does not have many thoughts in the past, and all he wants is peace and stability.

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

Of course, if the Great Qin Expeditionary Force failed, Seleucus IV might have a new idea.

However, it is clear that Meng Tian will not give Seleucus IV this chance.
