The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 261

[Chapter 258 The end of the first war]

The two armies battled very quickly. After all, the distance between the two sides was not far. On the plain, there was an endless horizon, without the slightest cover.

However, before the war, the first thing to be staged is the war equipment of both sides, whether it is catapults, crossbow arrays, ballistas, or the regular special organs of the Gongxu family, such as the Qilang and the like.

They are constantly pouring out their unique charm on the battlefield, bringing bursts of bright red, fascinating the lives of countless people.

In this tragic battle, countless people lost their lives, and the lives that were originally cherished by people were cut off one by one like grass.

The war did not last long, about three days or so, and the battle came to an end.

After all, it’s just a test by both sides. There are not too many troops invested, and the scale of the war is not too big. It is reasonable to end it so quickly.

After all, the biggest role of this battle is to test the strengths of both sides, and to declare the strength of their respective forces through battles, in order to deter the enemy.

After the war, in addition to leaving a corpse, it also took away countless happiness and hope.

The war was so tragic. Under the coercion of their respective superiors, the soldiers on both sides had no way to retreat at all. They really had to do their best to fight for a chance with their own lives.

Under this kind of persecution, the casualties are naturally extremely heavy. Among them, the Qin army is better. Their war weapons are far better than the opposing coalition forces, and they have more combat experience. The casualties are only 70,000.

As for the coalition, it was much worse.

This time the coalition forces fought, all of them were soldiers and horses of Yuguo.

The soldiers and horses that Yuguo has passed are mainly divided into two parts. The first part is a large army newly recruited and trained after Yuguo came to this world, which is full of 100,000 people.

They fought from the south to the north, destroyed Donghu, Jizi Korea and the Xiongnu, and participated in the battle to break the state of Yan.

Such an army, its elite level is naturally indescribable. It is indescribable that it is brave and skilled in combat. It can be said to be the first-class elite in the world, except that most of them have no internal strength.

The other part is the cannon fodder drawn from the Xiongnu. Although the Xiongnu lived in the north and lived in the vast grasslands, they lived a life of wandering since childhood.

And he has to endure the conquests of other tribes. He grew up with murder and being killed since he was a child. Naturally, he has a wolf-like nature and is extremely fierce.

But they were captured after all, their morale was even lower, and their will to fight was not as strong as they were on the grasslands, but they were still an elite.

This time, Zhong Yu did not assign the Xiongnu to be the cannon fodder, but chose half the imperial soldiers and half the Xiongnu soldiers, and the two cooperated to use the Chinese soldiers to supervise and draw the Xiongnu soldiers’ will to fight.

Now is the time when Yuguo lacks major generals. The war has developed to such an extent that it has gone beyond Yuguo’s original plan and is heading in an unpredictable direction.

No one knows what will happen in the future, but fortunately Yuguo has achieved his goal, which has seriously depleted the strength of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.

Except for Qi, which is located in Shandong, the other six countries have lost their strength.

According to the information he knew, he came to such a conclusion after being conveyed by the secret guards in various places and after a little integration with his ministers.

That is, the entire Central Plains, north of the Yangtze River, all the population added up, and he lost more than 1/3, and most of the losses were young and middle-aged.

This can be seen from the passing road, not a single person can be seen for dozens of miles, and some are only the dilapidated village Zhendian, and the wild dog hungry wolf foraging around, you can see it.

On the battlefield today, if they were only forcing the Xiongnu soldiers to come forward to be cannon fodder, they would not dare to refuse despite their own power and pressure, and for the sake of their own ethnic group.

But their combat efficiency will definitely be extremely low, no matter how late it is, it is very likely that they will retire after two hits on purpose, and they will not be desperate at all.

Because they are what kind of death point of their own right now, the law is not to blame the crowd, 100,000 people retreated together, does Yuguo really dare to kill them all?

Zhong Yu really didn’t dare, let’s not say that this is a 100,000 bloodthirsty wolf clan, and it is impossible to wait and kill by himself.

It is said that after so many soldiers have died, the form of the battlefield will definitely change drastically.

First of all, since the Qin State’s strength will be similar, it will become only half of the Qin State, and the strength will be greatly reduced.

Besides, after having so many fewer people, not only will the morale of my soldiers suffer greatly, but also the soldiers of Yan and South Korea behind them will have their will to fight greatly reduced.

With such concerns, Zhong Yu certainly did not dare to act recklessly. He had to consider it reasonably.

Only in this way can we maximize the characteristics of the Huns’ cannon fodder and let them shed their last blood for themselves.

Therefore, there will be two sides with the same force, in the same position, and go to the battlefield together. This kind of plan comes out.

First, with the elites of Yuguo present, the elites of Yuguo can be used as a breakthrough to attack Qinguo and make some breakthroughs at the tactical level.

Secondly, seeing that their suzerainty country is so fierce, the Huns, who have bloodthirsty elites in their blood, will naturally be aroused by the rage in their hearts, and they will follow them fearlessly.

With a leader and the situation on the battlefield, the Huns’ combat effectiveness will inevitably be stimulated to the greatest extent, and the role they play is not just cannon fodder.

Therefore, after the war, Yuguo withdrew about 10,000 of Yuguo’s elite soldiers, plus about 5,000 Huns remnants, and the casualties were 15ooo more than Qin’s.

The battle this time was really shocking to the Qin Kingdom. They never imagined that the fighting will of the soldiers of the Imperial Kingdom on the opposite side would be so brave and strong, not afraid of life and death.

In ancient times, those who could withstand 10% casualties were considered regular troops.

Thirty percent is the elite.

50%, that is, the heroes in the battlefield, which belong to the precious trump cards under the hands of various generals.

As for more than 80%, it belongs to a kind of troops that can be encountered but not sought after.

However, the Warring States period is naturally not the kind of dynasty of later generations. Hundreds of years of war have long made all civilians in the Warring States period accustomed to killing, and their tolerance for casualties is far greater than that of every dynasty in later generations.

Those who can withstand more than 30% of casualties belong to the rabble who were recruited temporarily.

Fifty percent or more is considered a regular army.

More than 80% are the elite trump cards of various countries.

But even for this kind of elite trump card, there are not too many countries. Xianghan, Zhao and Wei countries have 30,000 to 40,000 people.

As for the countries of Qin, Chu and Qi, that is 100,000 people.
