The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 258

[Chapter two hundred and fifty-five the enemy]

Today’s Mengwu has fallen into a very embarrassing situation. Behind him is a coalition of 100,000 people who are trapped in a dead place, surrounded by him in the valley, and have no way out.

And in front of him, Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao State, who is known as one of the four great generals of the upper kingdom, is daring to come to him, and the 15 reinforcements under his command are aggressively attacking him.

There are a large number of enemy troops on both sides, and the Qin army sandwiched in the middle can easily fall into the embarrassing situation of being attacked by the enemy from both sides!

However, although the situation was so bad, fortunately, with Meng Wu’s plan, he still had a certain advantage.

Now the place where the coalition forces of the two countries are besieged is within a forest, and the surrounding terrain is relatively dangerous.

And the most important thing, behind the canyon is a mountain, which is extremely steep.

And the front of the valley, the only way out, was blocked by Qin.

The allied forces of the two countries trapped inside, like a turtle in a urn, have nowhere to go. If they want to escape, they can only rush through the valley and Taniguchi, which is tightly controlled by Qin.

It’s just that the siege area that Qin Jun had designed long ago, how could it be so simple?

Taniguchi has now briefly set up a simple checkpoint.

Some preliminary defensive measures were arranged on it, and there were still tens of thousands of Qin troops there to guard it at any time.

There is a steady supply of materials from the Qin country in the rear. The two countries’ coalition forces in the valley, who are short of clothing and food, and their weapons are damaged, have no ability to break through this defense.

They are like the Zhao army at the moment of the Battle of Changping, once again surrounded by a place with nowhere to escape, tightly surrounded by a large number of Qin army, and finally starved to death.

However, they were luckier than the Zhao army in the battle of Changping, and that was that it was not Zhao Kuo who was besieged, but the respective kings of the two countries.

Moreover, the two countries are not like the previous Zhao Kingdom, they do not have the slightest ability to send reinforcements, and the Qin army is not as powerful as before.

No, the 150,000 reinforcements sent by the two countries rushed here. Now there are only 130,000 Qin troops left. They will face the front 150,000 without damage. Their morale is strong, and there are reinforcements led by the military god Li Mu.

Later, there will be a group of starving and mad, and the 100,000-strong coalition army of the two countries, the author’s last desperate fight, can be described as extremely dangerous.

As I said just now, Han and Wei were surrounded by a forest, and there were naturally many dangers in the forest. Meng Wu relied on these dangers to build three defenses.

These defenses depended on the terrain, and after relying on Qin to obtain the allegiance of Gongshu, the extremely advanced equipment quickly became bad, and one after another was a natural danger that was prohibitive.

Meng Wu was ready to defend here. He planned to starve the 100,000 coalition forces inside for him for a month or two.

So in Taniguchi, he only left 30,000 people to defend against the allied forces of the two countries who were jumping over the wall.

The remaining 10,000 Qin troops were all placed on top of these three lines of defense by him. Relying on the established defense facilities, he planned to block the 10,000 Zhao troops layer by layer and drag them to death here.

As for going out to the city to fight, don’t be kidding. Although Meng Wu is confident, he is also a first-rate famous general in the world, but he doesn’t have the confidence to ask him to fight against a military god-level figure like Li Mu.

Not to mention that the number of Qin troops was not comparable to the reinforcements that came, it was said that Li Mu, who was equal in number on both sides, was better at field sports warfare. In terms of field tactical command, he was many times higher than Meng Wu’s.

So Mengwu has already made up his mind to stick to it. No matter what, he will be nailed here, and he will drag the footsteps of Zhao and Wei countries. Even if the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops are all dead, it will be worth it.

In the eyes of the people of the world at that time, the power that really threatened Qin was divided into three parts by them.

Part of it is the frontal attack on the Qin army with Yuguo as the head.

Part of it is the state of Chu, which has a vast territory and abundant resources in the south and has a deep hatred with the state of Qin.

The other part is raging in the Central Plains and the north, annexing the two states of Zhao and Wei, which have the most territory in the Qin state.

Now that these two most active countries can be destroyed, they will be forced to death, and they will no longer be able to provide any assistance to the coalition forces. For Qin, it will be a very happy news.

Time passed quickly, and the defense line of Mengwu had just been laid out. During the period, the counterattacks of the combined forces of Zhao and Wei were repelled and they were forced back into the canyon. However, in just one month, the reinforcements of Zhao and Wei had already arrived. Approaching the mountain where Meng Wu is located.

As soon as the war is imminent, both sides cannot take a step back, whether it is for the survival of their own country or for the safety of their king. Death will become normal at this moment.

…

At the same time, the two states of Zhao and Wei in the north were severely blocked by the Qin state, and their strength suddenly declined, and they were no longer able to attack.

Then take charge of the southern front,

When he attacked the Chu State of Qin State alone, he naturally suffered more fierce blocking and counterattacks from Qin State.

This time, the leader of the southern army was Wang Ben, the son of the god of war Wang Jian, who was also a first-rate general in the Qin state.

His opponent was the only famous general of the Chu country, and one of the most active generals in the late Warring States period, the extremely arrogant Xiang Yan, the patriarch of the Xiang clan, known as the strongest clan in the Chu country.

In terms of strength at the commander level, Wang Ben and Xiang Yan can be said to be on the same level. Next, they will have to compete based on their respective strengths, that is, the logistics and military strength of both sides.

First of all, due to the different strategies of the Qin state, they planned to break through from the center, that is, to defeat the entire alliance in one fell swoop.

In Qin State’s view, as long as this main force can be defeated and the leader of the alliance can be defeated, then the remaining Zhao State, Wei State, Chu State, are just a bunch of rabble, and they can easily be broken up separately.

Therefore, the main force of the Qin state was concentrated on the Eastern Front, which was opposite to Zhong Yu.

In the central battlefield, the Qin army has a total of 450,000 people, and most of them are elites. Because of the strong conquest, the old and the weak have been distributed to the north and south fronts.

On the southern front, only 300,000 people led by Wang Ben were the old and the weak made up of a dozen or so old men and children in their fifties.

In comparison, the country of Chu on the opposite side was much better looking. It was a strong army composed of young adults in their twenties and thirties.

And many of them have just experienced the battle between Nanyang and Nanjun before, and have extremely rich war experience.

With such a powerful strength, if it were to be confronted head-on on the battlefield, Qin would definitely not be an opponent.

Therefore, Wang Ben adopted a roundabout tactic, setting up obstacles all the way and defending along the city one by one.

And from time to time, some elites were called out to carry out some local assault counterattacks, which caused great trouble to Chu’s attack.
