The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 293

[Chapter 290 The general trend changes 1]

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed. In these three months, several extremely sensational things have happened.

Among them, there is the last battle on the central battlefield.

After the Qin army rested for a period of time, the wounded of the coalition army also recovered, and the remaining nearly 300,000 troops on both sides re-positioned on the plain for the final decisive battle.

Although there were many Qin soldiers, their morale was relatively low after all. Psychologically, there was a rare fear of the opposing coalition forces, which greatly shook the combat effectiveness of the coalition forces.

Although the coalition army was small, its morale was strong.

Especially under the encouragement of the reward order issued by the Royal Kingdom, everyone yearns for the battlefield, hoping to make contributions so that they can also become the unattainable monarch and noble.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the coalition forces can be said to have soared.

Comparing the hatchbacks, the strength of the two sides is extremely close.

Even in a certain respect, due to the fact that there are fewer coalition troops and a unified mind, the combat effectiveness is more cohesive, and it has a unique advantage in this aspect on the battlefield.

Therefore, the battle between the two sides on the plain quickly entered a white-hot confrontation not long after the beginning.

This time on both sides, the coalition forces fought with the idea of making achievements and breaking ground.

The Qin State, on the other hand, was holding the mission of defending the homeland and defending the country, and bravely fought on the front line outside the borders.

And behind the Qin State, the King of Qin gave a death order, whoever retreated was beheaded, and his family was implicated.

With such a warning of a death line, Qin Jun regained his courage to fight again, at least they did not dare to flee casually.

Therefore, the intensity of the battle this time is far greater than any previous one. Both sides are fighting with the belief of immortality. They are not afraid of life and death, pain, and exhaustion. What they pursue is one word, victory.

This big battle has been fought for a long time, without a single pause in the middle, a rest, the strength of both sides is constantly increasing, constantly expanding, slowly covering the entire battlefield, the entire plain for dozens of miles.

The war lasted for three days and three nights, until both sides were exhausted, and the soldiers were too tired to move, and they had to retreat for repairs.

The casualties caused by such a tragic war are also very considerable.

According to statistics, after the 180,000 Qin army withdrew from the battlefield, there were only 30,000 people left.

The remaining remnants did not dare to stay. Instead, they evacuated the border between Qin and Han overnight, and retreated to Luoyang, the county seat of Sanchuan County behind them, and rested there.

And what about the coalition?

more tragic.

Of the 100,000 coalition forces, only 10,000 remained in the end.

With such a few people, they can’t even maintain the situation on the battlefield or even fill up the barracks, let alone defend the borders of the two countries.

These people also reluctantly evacuated the battlefield and returned to Xinzheng City, the national capital of South Korea. This is the only relatively stable area in South Korea that has not been damaged by the war, and slowly recuperated.

It can be said that after such a battle, both sides are exhausted, and it is difficult to launch any large-scale battle, and even a small local war with thousands of people is unable to provoke.

The situation on the battlefield was out of control, both sides suffered losses, and the impact on the world was even more profound.

First of all, the Qin State, its strategy of going east has been destroyed. The 450,000 troops that Ying Zheng had assembled through gritted teeth have been completely lost, leaving only a mere 30,000 terrified and completely abolished remnants of the army lingering in Sanchuan County.

It can be said that he has completely failed his strategy of opening the situation from the central battlefield, and the country of Qin will also enter the abyss where it is difficult to escape.

News from the northernmost and southern battlefields.

The battlefield in the north came with the reinforcements led by Li Mu.

Mengwu’s 130,000 Qin army fell into the north, and joined the 120,000 Li Mu army of Hanoi County’s 20,000 defenders, and the 100,000 remnant army led by the kings of Zhao and Wei in the valley.

Although the Qin army set up various lines of defense and actively defended, and the 100,000 remnants in the valley lacked materials and morale, but as the war lasted for three or four months, the Qin army’s defense line finally appeared flawed and was on the verge of collapse.

Among them, the remnants of the army in the valley lost many soldiers because of lack of food, damaged weapons, and lack of clothing to keep out the cold.

In addition, because they were besieged, they did not have an advantage in terms of geographical location. If they wanted to break out of the siege, they could only attack the fortifications that the Qin army had prepared for a long time.

Up to now, when the battlefield in the central part ended, there were only 30,000 coalition forces of the two countries left in the valley, and all of them were yellow-faced, thin, and weak, and their combat effectiveness could be said to be extremely low.

As for the reinforcements outside the valley, although they said they were extremely eager to rescue, in the face of the situation that their king was surrounded by the enemy, every general of the two countries fought desperately and fought to the death.

Under such circumstances, the loss of reinforcements would naturally be much greater.

By the end of the central battlefield, the 120,000 reinforcements will only be left with 50,000.

However, compared to the heavy losses of the coalition forces of the two sides, the Mengwu army, which was on the defensive side and was under pressure from both sides, was naturally not much better.

Because the road outside was cut off by the 120,000 reinforcements, the supplies of the Mengwu army also began to cut off. Although there were reserves in the valley, they were used less and less.

In the end, they were completely cut off, and they lived the same miserable life as the coalition forces of the two countries that were besieged by them.

And with the onslaught of the two countries, their losses also increased with each passing day, and one day was better than one day.

At the end of the battlefield in the central region, there were only 30,000 of the 130,000 Qin troops left, and it was impossible to maintain such a large battlefield situation.

And there have been breakages and loopholes on many fronts.

Let the separated Kings of Wei and Zhao reconnect with Li Mu’s coalition forces, and the two sides even began to converge with an army of 100 people.

If the kings of the two countries were not afraid of death and did not dare to evacuate the besieged valley under the escort of more than a hundred people, I am afraid that the so-called siege situation would have been solved long ago.

However, the current situation has also greatly boosted the morale of the besieged coalition forces in the valley, making them once again aroused the heart of defense and the will to break through.

“The days are getting harder and harder.” Meng Wu, the commander of the Qin army, could not help but sigh.

The army under his command, although mostly old and weak, is composed of some fourteen or fifteen year olds, or fifty or sixty year olds, but after all, there are 200,000 people.

But up to now, there are only 30,000 people left, in the early 1/10’s. Morale is low, and supplies are in short supply. It can’t last long.

Thinking about the predicament that Qin is facing today, how can this not make him sigh?

He was already thinking about the retreat. Now how can he take away the 30,000 Qin troops as much as possible and withdraw from the battlefield, so as to save more vitality for the Qin country, which is currently understretched.
