The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 245

[Chapter 242 Wei’s Assault]

?The state of Chu rose to prominence in the south, and took back the territory captured by the state of Qin one after another. Naturally, the states of Wei and Zhao in the north were not far behind.

Without the natural danger of Taihang Mountain, the defense strategy originally arranged by the Qin army was completely ineffective, and the situation in Shangdang County became precarious.

There were only about 10,000 defenders in Shangdang County. Originally, there were natural dangers. Naturally, there was no need to be afraid of the hundreds of thousands of troops in Zhao State.

But now, Zhao Guo has crossed the Taihang Mountains and recovered Taiyuan County in the north of Shangdang County.

This time, like hitting a snake with seven inches, it hit the seven inches of Shangdang County, and the defenders of Shangdang were caught off guard.

Zhao State has a total army of 250,000 people, and because Zhao State is located in the frontier, it often fights with Huns such as Huns, and the people are brave.

And because they fought against the six kingdoms, especially Qin, they fought countless times, and their fighting power was recognized by Qin, and even everyone in the world.

The troops drawn from these commoners are naturally extremely elite, brave and good at fighting.

Although the Qin army did the same, and still had the advantage of defending the city, it was not as large as the Zhao army. Under the tactical attack of the Zhao army, they lost the city one after another, and slowly retreated to the south of Shangdang. , that is, the famous Changping Perseverance.

Changping, this is a place that makes Zhao country hate and feel shame.

Here, Zhao Guo died of 400,000 young people, from the original first-class power, slowly weakened to the bottom of the existence.

Now that this place is guarded by the remaining 30,000 soldiers of the Qin State, how can Zhao State not feel a sense of revenge?

Looking at these remnants of Qin State was like looking at the helpless defeated army of Zhao State.

With a burst of anger, Zhao Jun, under the supervision of King Zhao, swarmed up, and completely wiped out these Qin troops in more than ten days, and did not leave a survivor.

However, the Qin army was completely wiped out, but their temporary counterattack and the previous defense battle, the number of Zhao troops wiped out was also extremely considerable.

According to Zhao Guo’s post-mortem estimate, 150,000 of the 250,000 army were completely buried on the land of Shangdang County. It can be said that every inch of mountains and rivers is an inch of blood. The hundreds of miles of land in Shangdang County were exchanged for the lives of Zhao Guo’s army. of.

At this moment, the most prosperous and glorious territory in the history of Zhao State has basically been recovered, except for the Yunzhong County, which was occupied by the Huns and located in the far north, because the Huns were also a member of the coalition forces and were not easy to snatch. Everything else has been recovered.

As for Zhao State, his territory has more than doubled, and he has once again become a big country with a territory of 3,000 miles, restoring his majesty.

And because they had just regained their lost ground, Zhao Jun was trained in the war, regained that spirit, and gained a large number of veterans. The combat effectiveness of Zhao’s army once again reached its peak.

Now that the whole country of Zhao is working together, the nobles are also generously donating money, digging out some of the funds they usually use for pleasure, and helping their monarch once again form an army of 400,000 people.

King Zhao is now full of confidence. He believes that with this army, he dares to compete with any country in the world for the position of the world’s hegemon, even if it is Qin or Yuguo.

Zhao State, which has a smaller number of troops than Wei State, has such power, and as a more advanced Wei State, it will naturally not fall behind.

Although half of Hanoi County’s territory was originally in South Korea, they would not help Wei Guo to occupy Hanoi County, but even without these, Wei Guo has an army of 300,000, which is enough to crush it all the way.

Under the fierce offensive of the 300,000-strong army, after holding on for more than a month, Hanoi County soon broke down all the city’s defenses and fell into the hands of Wei.

However, Wei Guo was not much better. After all, Hanoi had his 100,000 defenders. Wei Guo took him at a great price. The death toll of the army alone was more than 150,000.

The remaining 50,000 people were wounded, unable to fight, and had to retreat to the rear to recuperate.

That is to say, to win Hanoi County, Wei State’s original army of 300,000 people has already scrapped his 200,000 people, leaving only 100,000 remnants of the army.

Because of the heavy casualties, the morale of these 100,000 people began to decline. Although they did not reach the point of being completely unbearable for a battle, it was naturally impossible to use them to attack the remaining counties in the Qin state. Stationed, and slowly restore their combat effectiveness.

However, the state of Wei is vast and rich in resources, and the land occupied is also a densely populated area in the Central Plains. Naturally, the Origin Qi will not be seriously injured by the casualties of these 200,000 troops, and the state of Zhao will be at a standstill.

The remaining 100,000 veterans can’t be used if they can’t be used.

It also happened that they were stationed on the spot in the newly recovered Hanoi County to suppress those with ulterior motives.

After all, Hanoi County is not the original place of the Wei State, it belongs to the newly occupied land, and the Wei State has no basis for ruling there.

uukanshu.com is even worse than Qin State. There is no army to guard it. It really can’t be said that it is Hanoi County. Which name is it?

Although they lost 300,000 troops that could be used to fight the attack, Wei’s offensive did not stop there.

On the contrary, under the dispatch of King Wei, a steady stream of reinforcements were soon sent to Hanoi County, and another army of about 20 people was established again.

This army had just been formed for less than a month. King Wei just let them get used to it a little bit. After they had a general understanding, he sent them to Hedong County in Qin State, which was the original capital of Wei State, Anyi City.

Hedong County, next to the Qin State’s Neishi County, is less than a few hundred kilometers away from the Qin State’s capital, Xianyang. If Hedong County were to be taken away, then the Qin State would become dangerous, and the whole country would be in turmoil.

Although there is a so-called Hangu Pass in the east to block the Kwantung coalition, as long as the army is stationed, it is difficult for the Six Nations to attack Xianyang because of the natural danger of Hangu Pass.

But if this is done, the Qin country will be completely locked in Hangu Pass again, and once again want to go east to the six countries, and once again imitate what they have done before, it will cost countless soldiers and countless hours. , and slowly regained it little by little.

How could such a possible occurrence be accepted by the now ambitious Qin Wang Yingzheng!

Qin State began another round of urgent mobilization. This time, it was those who had been mobilized by the Six Kingdoms that King Qin had not trusted before. They were cornered to a dead end, and Ying Zheng could no longer manage so much.

From the few counties and counties ruled by the Qin State that were still under the control of the Six Kingdoms, he urgently recruited 10,000 people and dispatched him to Hedong County, where he joined with the 50,000 defenders of Hedong County to jointly resist the Wei State. The attack of 200,000 troops.
