The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 249

[Chapter 246 The decisive battle is coming]

? Yuguo’s powerful strength now has aroused the vigilance of all countries in the world. In the eyes of some people, his powerful strength is even more terrifying than Qin.

After all, the current Qin state has lost the land of the six countries that he has captured for hundreds of years, and its strength is far less than it was at the beginning. Under the repeated battles, the Qin state’s military strength has been continuously reduced.

From the start of the war to the present, in more than a year, Qin has lost more than 500,000 soldiers and horses.

Such a large loss is a great weakening for the Qin state.

And most importantly, the 500,000 soldiers and horses who died were all composed of old Qin people, half of the young and strong population of the old Qin people.

The loss of these people has greatly shaken the foundation of Qin’s rule, and made his originally stable country become turbulent.

The Qin state is really too big, and there are too many places to guard.

The two counties of Bashu and Sichuan in the south are located in remote areas, so there is no need to worry about the attack of other vassal states.

In addition, the mountains are blocked and the terrain is dangerous, and only a few soldiers and horses can defend it.

Therefore, the Qin state can even guard the two counties of Bashu and Sichuan as long as 50,000 people are left behind.

Who let the Qin state occupy Bashu, it has been hundreds of years, and all the people of Bashu have completely returned to their hearts and truly become Qin people.

The only worry is that the current Hanzhong County of Qin State, Hanzhong, which was originally in the rear, has already faced the threat of Chu State, and it is adjacent to Nanjun, which is now occupied by Chu State, and may be attacked by Chu State at any time.

King Qin did not forget that Hanzhong County was captured by Qin State from Chu State, and Chu State definitely had intentions for Hanzhong.

Fortunately, there are some mountains between Hanzhong and Nanjun, at least there are some defenses, and there are rivers blocking them, so there are some dangers. As long as some soldiers and horses are stationed and defended, there should be no serious problems.

Therefore, the Qin state left 100,000 people in Hanzhong, and put the place in danger, mainly in the direction of Nanjun, and was attacked by the Chu state.

Hanzhong is too important. It connects the two granaries of Qin and Bashu. If he is cut off, Bashu will be completely lost from Qin’s hands.

In the northern frontier of the Qin State, bad news also came during this time. There is a northern nomadic army of about 100,000 people there, which is harassing the frontier of the Qin State.

This northern nomadic army did not take looting as its main purpose, but only harassed everywhere, looted the population, burned the fields, and made the northern border of the Qin state, the people were struggling, and displaced people could be seen everywhere.

However, they were all cavalry, who came and went like the wind, and were not greedy for military exploits. They often retreated at a touch.

For this harassment-based side army, although the threat to Qin is not as great as that of other countries, it should not be underestimated.

After all, 100,000 people, if played at a critical moment, can be of great help. At least one or two counties in Qin will be no problem.

If it were in normal times, the King of Qin would have ordered hundreds of thousands of troops to go on a northern expedition, and he would have to crippled these prairie wolves until they were subdued and fled to the Northern Territory before they would stop.

But now the Qin country is leaking everywhere, and the battlefield is full of gunpowder smoke. How can there be any troops and energy to deal with these people, and can only order the frontier guards to take more precautions, and don’t let these disgusting mangy dogs cause too much crisis.

Because of the harassment of these nomadic soldiers on the grasslands, Qin’s 200,000 frontier troops did not make much mobilization, but stayed in place to guard against the invasion of these nomadic soldiers.

In today’s Guanzhong, all the defenders have basically been dispatched and sent to the front line. The defense is extremely empty, and even some county towns can’t even make up 100 people, so they can barely maintain some basic law and order.

The entire Guanzhong, which is now the imperial capital of the Qin state, Xianyang City, can take out a left-behind army of 50,000 people.

Without these 50,000 people, even if Guanzhong was the old territory of the Qin State, the King of Qin could not guarantee that there would be no trouble. After all, there were many people staring at the position of the King of Qin.

After doing all the calculations, the Qin country has already had five people per household and one small, and really recruited his army of millions. Basically, the men of the old Qin people were sent to the battlefield and went to various places.

But at this point, the Qin State still has not enough soldiers and horses, and people are needed everywhere. As a last resort, they have also recruited those untrusted remnants of the Six Kingdoms.

His army of 300,000 was drafted from these immigrants and sent to the frontiers to wage war with their native country.

Today’s King Qin has completed the second round of mobilization and recruitment. In places such as Guanzhong Bashu, the Qin state has the deepest foundation.

Once again mobilize the people to join the army.

This time, the standard of recruitment is that everyone over the age of fourteen and under the age of 80 must join the army, with no exceptions.

Under such a broad quota, 5 million old Qin people went to serve as soldiers because of men, UU reading www.uukanshu.

com has dropped sharply to 4 million people, and once again recruited his 400,000 old and weak soldiers.

However, we should not feel contempt for these 400,000 old and weak soldiers. Those children are nothing more than those old men, but they are all experienced veterans.

They have not been alive for a few years. Before they die, they can use their lives on the battlefield to fight for the chance of survival for their country. They must be very happy.

These 400,000 people did not immediately send to the battlefield, but rushed to Xianyang, the capital of Qin from all over the country, where they had a three-month rest.

After all, it is not a young and strong population. Many people are still unfamiliar with war, or are already unfamiliar. They need a certain amount of time to train and recuperate, so that they can gradually gain an understanding of war.

Qin’s madness has reached its peak, and at all costs, the recruitment of these old and weak is not the end, but a beginning.

The old Qin people have already achieved this point, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms who are still under the rule of the Qin state are naturally not immune.

There are probably more than 1.2 million leftovers of the Six Kingdoms still under the control of the Qin State. The King of Qin directly recruited 200,000 soldiers and horses from these people. In addition to the more than 200,000 people before, he has already withdrawn them. The man who took all the remnants of the Six Nations.

This time, King Qin intends to fight for the last time, either with life or death.

This army of 600,000 old and weak will go to the barracks where Wang Jian, the commander of the East Out Army, will fight against all countries in the world.

The fate of the world also has an answer in this battle.

And all the countries in the world did not fall behind when the Qin State moved, and more and more troops and horses were mobilized by those countries and sent to the front line.
