The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 257

[Chapter 254 The Northern Crisis]

The life of a soldier is on the battlefield, which is the most worthless. Their so-called closeness to the people, the so-called benevolence, and the so-called strict discipline are all to make the soldiers willingly work for them.

The current battlefield is like this. The war has lasted for three months, and it has passed the most intense moment in the initial stage. In the past three months, there have been three major battles, which are particularly important for the change of the battlefield situation. factor.

Among them, in the north, that is, Wei State, under the Yewang Castle in Hanoi County, the 250,000 troops of Wei State and Zhao State have a fierce confrontation with Qin State’s 200,000 troops.

This time, the northern army of the Qin State is commanded by Meng Wu, a famous general of the Qin State. Some people may not know exactly who Meng Wu is, but many of his two sons are absolutely eloquent.

His eldest son, Meng Tian, once led a 300,000-strong Qin army to attack the Xiongnu from the north and captured thousands of miles of Hetao.

And he single-handedly built Qin’s Great Wall Corps to defend the northern border for the entire Qin state.

His youngest son, Meng Yi, is also a very famous person, both civil and military.

In Zhong Yu’s previous life, there was also a very famous TV series, Myth, which was created based on Meng Yi.

Being able to cultivate such two extremely outstanding sons, Meng Wu will naturally not be too bad?

At this time, in the state of Zhao, Lian Po was already dead, and the country was filled with incompetent and greedy people, and few were able to fight.

However, he has a person that no one can ignore. His existence supports half of Zhao’s sky. It can be said that after Zhao’s loss of Lian Po, he has been able to maintain such a long period of time. He has a relationship with this person that cannot be ignored.

This person is the famous general of Zhao State, Li Mu, one of the four war gods of the Warring States Period.

After Zhao’s defeat at Changping, the Qin army took advantage of the situation to attack Zhao’s Handan. Thanks to Li Mu leading his northern army, they went south to defeat the Qin army many times, and then they were able to support Zhao until the arrival of reinforcements from various countries.

After that, the Qin army attacked Zhao State several times, and it was all because of Li Mu’s presence that they repelled the Qin State’s attack.

Originally, according to historical records, Qin State would go east in a year or two and begin his road to annexing the six kingdoms and unifying the world.

When attacking Zhao State, he was frustrated because of Li Mu’s existence, so he used Wei Liao’s plan to bribe Zhao’s traitorous officials, framed and framed Li Mu, and caused Li Mu’s death. It was then destroyed.

As for the state of Wei, let’s not talk about it. Since the death of Lord Xinling, there is nothing outstanding in being a military general, and there are not many capable officials among the civil servants, who are rotten to the core.

However, this time, King Zhao did not bring Li Mu with him. He did not trust Li Mu, and thought that Li Mu’s military exploits were too high, and his exploits shocked the Lord.

Instead, he left Li Mu in the northern border where there was no danger, and led his army to the south alone, hoping to take this opportunity to establish his supreme prestige.

This also gave Meng Wu, the general of the Qin state, a chance. After many plans, Meng Wu threw out one bait after another, and finally relaxed the vigilance of the two countries of Zhao and Wei.

Then his ambush troops suddenly rushed out, defeated the pursuit troops of the two countries, and forced them into a narrow valley, where they were trapped and defended themselves.

In fact, to tell the truth, in order to attract these two prey, Meng Wu used the psychology of King Zhao and King Wei who were eager to achieve success and wanted to make military exploits in order to establish prestige, and successfully tempted them, making them ignore many inconveniences. normal.

However, as the price of bait, Meng Wu also sacrificed more than 50,000 soldiers, and let the pursuers of the two countries kill them on the way.

Otherwise, how could these two greedy and cunning prey be easily believed!

However, the plan was successful in the end. After the final trap was not over, he successfully killed 100,000 Zhao Wei coalition forces through a counterattack.

In addition to those Zhao Wei coalition forces that were killed when they retreated and fled all the way, the entire Zhao Wei coalition army has already sacrificed 130,000 people.

Today, there are only 120,000 troops left in the combined forces of the two countries, of which 20,000 remain in the defense of Hanoi County, which means that they are trapped in the valley, guarding the army of King Zhao and King Wei, and only 20,000 are left. 100,000 people.

Mengwu’s 200,000 Qin army also has 130,000 people. They don’t need to defend, they all surround King Zhao and King Wei, constantly using various means to try to capture the kings of the two countries and use them to intimidate Both countries retreat or surrender.

The northern front of the coalition forces is already in crisis. The two commanders of the northern route have fallen into a dead end. Relying on their own strength, they can never save the entire chessboard. They can only hope for reinforcements from outside.

King Wei and King Zhao, who were afraid of death, had already sent messengers when they were trapped.

Desperately rushed to the two countries of Zhao and Wei, and asked the ministers and generals in the rear for reinforcements.

This was a death order, and the two kings released harsh words, UU reading www.uukanshu.

com Whoever does not come is a traitor, and those ministers who are loyal to the country can be executed on the spot.

After hearing the order of the king, and realizing the crisis of the situation, the ministers of the two countries did not dare to be taken lightly.

However, after more than two years of war, the two countries are exhausted. The population of young and middle-aged people in the country is extremely withered. It is really difficult to recruit enough troops and horses to rescue them.

Among them, Wei State is the most obvious. Although he occupied the most territory and had the largest population in this attack on Qin State, he also killed the most people.

In the territory recovered by the Wei Kingdom, half of the population on it will be given to the Yu Kingdom, and he will lead the rest to fight, and he is almost dead.

Therefore, under the reluctance of their Prime Minister, they sent a reinforcement of about 50,000 people to the valley.

The Zhao Kingdom was much faster, and they fought less hard battles. Although the population in the north was relatively small, they still left a lot of young people, and even more were able to fight.

After Zhao Guo received the summons, he showed his brave and good fighting side, the army quickly summoned, and then assigned Li Mu as the commander. The disgusted Li Mu.

After Li Mu received the order, he didn’t dare to neglect, he quickly went south from the north, accepted the command of the 100,000 army that was dispatched, and went south in the starry night to rescue his king.

And Meng Wu of Qin State is still worried about how to conquer the coalition forces of the two countries in the canyon. Although the coalition forces of the two countries are some remnants of defeated soldiers and their morale is low, they are facing a critical situation at the moment. underestimated.
