The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 345

[Chapter three hundred and fortieth dizzying]

In the western part of Zhao State, the frontier bordering Qin State.

An elite army of Qin State with a number of up to 300,000 is quietly crossing the natural danger of the Yellow River, and has once again stepped into the Taiyuan area of Zhao State.

This large army was so powerful that it quickly broke through Taiyuan County, where only a mere 50,000 troops were left behind.

And these 50,000 people are already half of the army left behind by the entire Zhao State. After the loss, the entire Zhao State will be empty, allowing the Qin State to wreak havoc.

Early July.

After Qin took Taiyuan County, apart from leaving some people behind, the rest quickly divided into two steps, going north to Yanmen County and south to Shangdang County.

Unsurprisingly, wherever the Qin army went.

All the cities either surrendered or were slaughtered by the Qin army after the city was broken. No city could stop the Qin army.

The land of the three counties to the east of Zhao State, which was originally used as a barrier against Qin State, was lost and became a bridgehead for Qin State to invade Zhao State.

And Qin State, in order to retaliate against the people of the three counties before, in the previous battle between the coalition forces and Qin State, they turned to Zhao State one after another.

The people of Zhao State in these three counties were massacred, all those who had surrendered in the past.

Beating and scolding at every turn, the slightest resistance is massacre, and all the potential in it is constantly squeezed, and the people in the county are constantly insulted.

The resentment of the people in the three counties was boiling, and it was difficult to contain them.

But for these, Qin Guo didn’t care much about it.

After the previous war, everyone in the Qin state has understood a truth, that is, only the old Qin people can be trusted.

As for the remnants of the six countries in the counties and counties recovered by the Six Eastern Kingdoms, they are all unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, not worth investing in and appeasing.

It is the most suitable use for them to be squeezed as some coolie slaves.

At the same time, in the territory of Qi State, after paying 50,000 casualties, the Zhao army finally broke through the capital of Qi State and defended the empty city of Langya.

The monarch of Qi State fled east with the ministers and nobles in the city, and led more than 10,000 remnants of the army to Jimo City, Jiaodong County, and made it the capital of the country. Zhao Jun’s aggression.

However, Zhao Jun, who had just conquered Langya City, was too late to be happy, but suddenly received news from behind him that Qin State had attacked Zhao State and had already invaded nearly half of the territory.

Zhao Jun, who had just enjoyed the fruits of victory, had no time to enjoy and digest it, so he had to withdraw his troops and return to the country to quickly support the country.

So, under the surprise and shock of the whole nation of Qi, Zhao Jun obediently spat out the two counties he had swallowed before, took the remaining 120,000 remnants with him, and walked away in despair.

Qi State regained the land of the two counties without costing a single soldier or a single soldier.

Only after this raging, Qi’s population is even more sparse, with only about 900,000 left.

There are only 150,000 soldiers and horses, of which about 100,000 are elites.

Nearly half of the strength was lost, and the vitality was greatly damaged.

And when Qin State completely recaptured the three counties, a hundred thousand troops were withdrawn from the rear of the country to support the front line, and these ordinary soldiers and horses were used to stay behind the three counties captured from Zhao State.

It is good to free up your hands and continue to use the 300,000 elites as the main force to attack the remaining territory of Zhao State.

And after the buffering of the land in the three counties, it would take a lot of time for Qin to capture them, even if they were just on their way.

It was this period of time that was exchanged for territory, and the precious life time was exchanged for Zhao.

The 120,000 remnants who came from the rear finally returned to the country.

Then they gathered some troops and horses drawn from China to form an army of 150,000 people and gathered them in the Taihang Mountains.

Relying on a series of majestic passes and some majestic cities in Taihang Mountain, it can resist the attack of 300,000 troops of Qin State.

When Qin Jun and Zhao Jun completed their own preparations, an earth-shattering battle began.

end of July.

In the Taihang Mountains of the Zhao State, a war over the hegemony of Hebei broke out under the leadership of the Qin State.

Zhao State, which had lost the three counties and lost about half of its strength, was unable to support it in the face of Qin State’s aggressive offensive.

It is really difficult to figure out how fate will go, so Zhao Guo can’t see hope.

However, just when the Qin State was excited, thinking that he was about to destroy the Zhao State and complete the great cause of destroying a country.

In the rear of the Qin State, the newly established Liang State, which was ignored by the Qin State, ignored by the world, and had almost no influence on the entire world.

Brazenly bared its fangs.

The 30,000-strong Liang army, under the personal command of Liu Bang, the lord of the two countries, with the general Fan Kuai Zhou Bo as the vanguard, broke through the Qin border Longxi in one fell swoop, and captured most of Longxi County in more than ten days.

Qin Guoguan was terrified, and Qin Guochao was furious up and down.

Especially Qin Wang Yingzheng, he just saw once again the hope of unifying the world and eliminating the six kingdoms.

Just when he was happy, this inconspicuous clown jumping from the beam in the back dared to stroke his tiger whiskers, and he felt extremely angry.

“Although the Qin state is weak now,

It’s far from what it used to be.

But it’s not a beam-jumping clown like you, Danwan Xiaoguo can come to provoke him!

“This is what Qin Wang Yingzheng thought about this invasion of Liang Kingdom.

So Qin Wang Yingzheng directly dispatched 30,000 of the 50,000 Xianyang defenders to the Longxi front.

At this time, there were more than 20,000 defenders in Longxi, and there were 50,000 soldiers in the meeting and the 30,000 reinforcements.

With the shrewdness of the Qin army and the bravery of the Qin people, it is more than enough to deal with the mere 30,000 troops of the Liang Kingdom.

However, just when the 30,000 reinforcements had just arrived in Longxi County, they were preparing to meet the defenders of Longxi County to launch a blow against the invading army of the Liang Kingdom.

In Shang County, in the north of Qin State, there was a sudden bad news.

In this small place in the cloud, the five small countries formed a coalition, with a total of 20,000 elite troops heading south, and brazenly launched an aggression against Shangjun in the Qin state.

How could the Shangjun defenders think that such a small country with one or two counties would dare to invade Qin’s territory.

Unprepared, most of the territory of Shangjun was invaded by the mere 20,000 enemy troops.

The county government of Shangjun, Fu Shicheng, was surrounded by 20,000 enemy troops at the moment, and there were only 10,000 defenders in the city.

Shang County is in danger and may overturn at any time.

So Xingye, the county governor of Shangjun, sent a messenger to ask for Xianyang’s support.

However, one after another, being affected by unexpected situations, the real foundation of Qin State, the defense force of Neishi County, where Xianyang is located, is constantly empty.

However, the external crisis has not disappeared, but it has constantly put Xianyang in danger.

Such a series of incidents made Ying Zheng smell the conspiracy.

Therefore, he did not agree to Shangjun’s request for help, but instead let the county guard of Shangjun stick to the county seat.

After all, the county government of Shangjun is a big city, and it has always been an important town for the Qin State to resist the invasion of the northern barbarians.

Under the garrison of 10,000 defenders, it is really not an easy task for the only 20,000 cloud coalition forces to break through it.

If there is no miracle, I’m afraid I don’t even think about it.

Therefore, with 10,000 defenders, it is enough to defend against the coalition in the cloud.

And Qin Wang Yingzheng was waiting to find the source of the conspiracy.
