The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 295

[Chapter 292 The general trend changes 3]

Now that the siege has been broken through, the fears of King Zhao and King Wei have finally subsided.

Beside them, there are 50,000 reinforcements brought by Li Mu who are closely guarding them. They are already extremely safe. Naturally, there is no need to be afraid of these hungry soldiers who have turned into evil ghosts.

The two of them have already made up their minds that these soldiers will either be consumed on the battlefield fighting against Qin, or they will be consumed on other battlefields.

As for other battlefields, the two of them were tacit.

During these besieged days, the relationship between King Zhao and King Wei grew day by day, almost sleeping at the same table, eating at the same table, and inseparable.

At the same time as the relationship increased, the two also secretly reached a strategic offensive and defensive alliance.

Obviously, they also understand that after the Qin State is defeated, the world will not be truly peaceful, but may become more turbulent.

The two people who have a deep sense of crisis, after having this shared adversity and life and death experience, naturally have such a political talk.

On the surface, they took shelter under the alliance, and secretly reached a small alliance between Zhao and Wei.

The alliance formed by these two countries will be a force capable of shaking the entire world situation.

Although Zhao and Wei lost their troops on the front line and killed and wounded countless soldiers, their remaining heritage should not be underestimated.

After all, although a lot of young people died in their country, there are still a lot of people in the newly recovered territory. Among these people, there are quite a lot of young people.

Coupled with the people on their original territory, the two countries can still be said to be powerful.

When it really comes to the crisis of destroying the country, you can be like Qin, regardless of any loss, regardless of the loss of your own country’s potential, and explode countless soldiers and horses, vowing to defend the country to the death.

It is estimated that after the loss of 400,000 to 500,000 people in Zhao State, nearly 400,000 of his soldiers and horses can be exploded.

The Wei state, which has a larger population than the Zhao state, also lost more troops, but was able to recruit 450,000 troops.

Although these recruited soldiers and horses, like Qin, are some old men of fourteen, fifteen, fifty or sixty years old.

But let them take weapons, can they all kill?

Not to mention, after the union of the two countries, the nearly one million soldiers gathered together are enough to make any enemy fear.

In the same way, this can also consolidate their position in the alliance and the world, make their current territory stable, and make the secretly coveted enemies dare not peep.

…

The northern front had been lifted, and the southern state of Chu had also advanced by leaps and bounds under the same attack regardless of losses.

Although the Chu army’s rear line was cut off, and it became extremely difficult to replenish food, grass, and other supplies, the Chu army, who paid attention to fighting to support the war, still flew to countless cities all the way.

And in the first difficulty he encountered, that is, under the majestic Nanliang City, he had a desperate confrontation with the 100,000 Qin army defenders in the city.

It’s not that Chu Jun didn’t want to bypass Nanliang City, just like before, he rushed forward quickly.

But it was really a crisis and the environment was unfavorable, so he had to fight a tough battle with the Qin army here.

For hundreds of miles behind Nanliang City, there are mountains and mountains, and few people live there.

In such an environment, apart from some wild beasts, there is only smoke poisonous miasma in the mountains.

How can these 250,000 Chu troops survive in such a situation?

Eat some beasts?

It would be better to eat Chu Jun’s own body to be full!

And behind the Chu army is the 100,000 Nanliang City defenders. Such a large force is like a beast, peeping at the Chu army behind him, making his back feel cold and sleepless.

These 100,000 people were not like the defenders he had encountered before, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands, but a force capable of threatening the entire Chu army.

If he is left alone and he is allowed to wreak havoc behind him, then the Chu army may be overthrown at any time, and it will be irreversible.

Therefore, with these two concerns, this battle is inevitable.

Therefore, at the urging of Xiang Yan, and before the war, the current state of the army was announced, so that all the Chu troops had a bottom line and knew that there was no way out now.

Everyone in the Chu army understood that in such a situation, even if they wanted to surrender, the defenders in the city would not accept it.

250,000 people, which is several times more than the Qin army, how could those Qin army accept surrender at ease!

And let them surrender like this, these Chu soldiers are not reconciled.

As for escaping, along the way, how many cities of the Qin army were densely distributed on the various routes that they escaped.

These Chu troops want to pass through the enemy territory on this road and return to their hometown of Chu State safely, which is much more difficult than conquering the Nanliang City in front of them.

Moreover, even if I can finally return to my hometown, I am afraid that among 100 people,

I don’t know if there is such a thing.

Such a huge disparity, naturally let these Chu soldiers know what to choose is wise.

That is, at all costs, even if he is fighting his own life, UU reading www.uukanshu.com will also win the city in front of him.

With such a belief and the supervision of Shangguan, the Chu army launched a desperate confrontation.

The battle continued for ten days, and the number of casualties was unknown.

The majestic Nanliang City finally opened its city gates and opened his facade in this high-intensity battle, throwing it into the arms of the Chu army.

After the war, all the Qin troops in the city were slaughtered by the red-eyed Chu troops, and the few residents in the city also suffered great bad luck.

In short, after the war, with the withdrawal of the Chu army, only a few hundred people in the city escaped from the surviving place, but they fled the city with a look of horror and plunged into the wilderness. Life and death do not know.

After so much venting, Chu Jun finally regained his senses, and Xiang Yan was able to control the army again.

However, this army, after such a loss, has dropped sharply from 250,000 people to 100,000 people. Although after such a battle, these 100,000 people have become very elite, and they have become veterans who can fight well. .

However, the loss in numbers is also visible to the naked eye. The army that was more than 30 miles away could only be seen in a mere 10 miles now.

For the Chu country, I don’t know if this is good or bad.

Gained an elite team, but lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and added a lot of white sails to countless families in the country. It is really hard to calculate.

But I don’t know what other people think about all this. Anyway, Xiang Yan is quite happy.

A truly good general, unless he has the same commanding ability as Han Xin, hopes that he can master an elite army with a number within his ability range, so that he can be like an arm and a finger.

And with Xiang Yan’s ability, the number of 100,000 people is just right!
