The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 340

[Chapter 335 At the end of the battle of Chu and Yue]

In the seventh year of Emperor Yuan, at the beginning of October.

The 50,000-strong army of Chu State in the south has completely set foot on the land of Wu County of Yue State.

The whole country was mobilized by the Vietnamese army, and 250,000 troops were reluctantly pulled out, all of which were pressed in Wanling County and Qu’a County. These two places are mountainous, and they also guarded the main communication routes of Wu County and Kuaiji County, which were the route of the Chu army. A must-have place.

The Chu army and the Vietnamese army fought continuously, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

However, in February, when it was completely into December, the two sides were already extremely cold due to the weather, and it was difficult for the soldiers to fight again, so the fighting was slowly stopped.

However, in the mere two months, the 500,000-strong Chu army lost a full 150,000 in battle, nearly 1/3 of the damage was lost, and the loss was considerable.

Although the Vietnamese army on the opposite side has a favorable geographical position and is on the defensive, it has quite an advantage in the terrain of the battlefield.

However, the Vietnamese army on the opposite side was really unable to support the wall, it was just a puddle of mud.

Most of the Vietnamese army is composed of farmers who have just entered the battlefield. They have not undergone effective army training at all, and the Vietnamese army has no money to train them.

When the country of Vietnam was first established, money was required in many places, and a large number of basic non-commissioned officers were lacking.

And training the army requires money, a lot of money.

If nothing else, let’s just say that you train soldiers to exhaust their physical strength quickly, right, so they have to fill their stomachs, and have a meal of meat every three to five days, so that the soldiers have the strength to train.

But with such training, the number of soldiers is large, and the Vietnamese army has a full 300,000. How can so much money and so much food be spent on them?

Even if they only train them for three months and let them know a little about what the army is like, the country of Yue can’t support this huge consumption.

Besides, Yue Guo didn’t have so many low-level coaches and non-commissioned officers to lead the training of these new recruits.

So the matter of training, even though the whole country and the rest of the country always clamored to carry it out, ended up being a thing of the past.

In the end, however, they trained an army of about 30,000 Yue kings. As the capital of the Yue kings, they were able to deter the forces from all over the country.

As for the others, except for some veterans who fought a few defeats with the rebels, became veterans, and barely had some war experience.

The others have just taken to the battlefield, separated from the farmer’s status as a farmer, and become a glorious and responsible soldier.

It’s just that the morale of these soldiers, their proficiency in warfare, and their loyalty to the King of Yue are hard to say.

As a result, after two months of fighting, batches of Vietnamese recruits were drawn to the battlefield, and then they were defeated within a few minutes, and then another batch of people played, and then replaced.

This reciprocation, several reincarnations, waited until the time was delayed until the night came, and a war barely allowed the Vietnamese army to persevere.

It can be said that this war was only lasted to the end with the lives and morale of those recruits.

However, because of this, the Yue Kingdom’s recruits suffered a lot, and the number of troops decreased sharply. Even if the Yue Kingdom had a geographical advantage in defense, the number of people who died finally reached the same number as the Chu Kingdom, 150,000 troops.

As for the remaining 10,000 Vietnamese troops, after two months of fighting, they showed a lot of energy. With the appearance of some elite troops, they can barely be called a brave and good army.

It is hard to say what the final result will be.

As a result, the country of Yue sacrificed a lot of young and strong people. Every family in the country wailed, and white cloths covered all inhabited places.

In addition to the remaining 100,000 troops, there are still men over the age of 14 in Yueguo, and I don’t know if they can make up 100,000 men.

That is the last planting on the land of the remaining three counties of Yueguo, and it is the hope of Yueguo’s future, and the hope of all families on this land.

They pointed out that these 100,000 people could give them more children, so that the countless families on the land of the Yue Kingdom would not really die, and how could it be possible for the King of Yue to take them away and use them as cannon fodder.

I am afraid that even if the King of Yue wants to do this, his people will not agree. It is really urgent. I am afraid that even his 100,000 elites will rebel, kill him, and directly surrender to Chu.

Therefore, with these fears, the King of Yue, who had just taken office, did not dare to pull the strong men any more, and could only rely on the remaining 100,000 elites to resist the attack of the Chu army.

But fortunately, now that the severe winter has entered, the food harvested by Chu this year is also slowly being consumed, and it is no longer possible to maintain the remaining 350,000 troops to go on the expedition.

This gave Yue Guo a sigh of relief and a chance to breathe.

A war in the south has come to an end, and a new round of war will not continue until half a year later, when both countries have accumulated some supplies.

However, in the seventh year of Emperor Yuan, in the north of Chu State, the war between Tao State and Wei State was in full swing, just like Chu State and Wei State.

First of all, the Wei army dispatched 300,000 people, which is already all the troops that the entire Wei state can use.

Except for the maintenance of law and order in some places and some defensive troops at the border, all the forces were used to deal with this war with Tao.

And Tao State was not to be outdone, with 100,000 troops stationed on the borders of the country, guarding it in various cities and towns to resist the aggression of the country.

At the beginning of the war, Wei Guo’s troops and horses were relatively elite, and the army was filled with many veterans who had fought many battles. The strength was quite strong, far superior to the Tao army formed by many new recruits and rebels.

Therefore, at the beginning of the war, the state of Wei even destroyed five cities of the state of Tao.

Rampage all the way, the momentum is like a broken bamboo, Tao Guo looks up and down, there is an unstoppable trend.

But then, in the territory of Tao State, on a rather majestic city, the 20,000 defenders in the city, relying on the solid city defense, severely dampened the spirit of Wei State’s pioneers.

Wei Guo’s 100,000 pioneers lost 30,000, and it was difficult to win the city. Although the defenders in the city also lost more than 10,000, there were only more than 6,000 people left, and the defense was quite difficult.

But also because of this, the 100,000 Pioneers actually delayed for thirteen days under this small city, giving them a lot of time to escape, and they were able to slowly integrate their strength and prepare for war again.

After the recent months of war, there are still about 50,000 Tao army left. Except for the 10,000 people left in the capital, the remaining 40,000 people are all distributed to other remaining strong cities. what the end looks like.

There were only seventeen cities in the entire Tao Kingdom, and now five have been lost, and there are still twelve cities left, and their strength has already lost more than 40%.

Therefore, although Tao State looks like it is fighting Wei State to the end, in fact, if there is no external intervention, with Tao State’s national strength and military strength, at most two or three months, the country will be destroyed, the family will be destroyed, and the army will be completely defeated.

Therefore, in order to avoid the crisis of the ruin of the country and the family, Tao Guo asked for help.

In the seventh year of Emperor Yuan, July.

Qi State dispatched 100,000 troops, stationed in Tao State, and confronted the opposite 200,000 Wei army under Dingtao City, the capital of Tao State.

The war was mired in a quagmire, and the outcome was unpredictable.
