The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 348

[Chapter 343 Chaos 1]

? Emperor Yuan ten years, early March.

Qin, which had already solved its own worries in the future, once again sent an army of 300,000 people to attack Zhao.

Zhao State was frightened and asked Wei State for support.

Zhao Guo himself also organized an army of 200,000 people to defend the front line of the Taihang Mountains to defend against the Qin army.

Early April.

Wei Guo, who had already formed an alliance with Zhao Guo, also tasted the sweetness of the cooperation between the two countries after the last cooperation to attack Qi Guo, and after that time, the two sides forged a deep friendship.

As a result, King Wei assembled an army of 100,000 people, led by general Wei Bao, and went to the Taihang Mountains to support the Zhao army.

After the Qin State received the support of the Wei State from the State of Zhao, the battlefield that had a slight advantage suddenly became a stalemate.

In mid-April of the same month, the State of Chu sent another 200,000 troops to attack the State of Yue, but the State of Yue was defeated, and only three remaining cities in Wu County were completely occupied.

The 50,000 Vietnamese troops lost 30,000 troops, and the remaining 20,000 troops retreated to the city of Shanyin, the capital of Vietnam, and relied on the strong city to resist.

In late April, the envoy of Yue appeared in the court of Qi to ask for help from the King of Qi and state his interests.

Because the north of Chu State is Wei State, Wei State is powerful, and has formed an offensive and defensive alliance with Zhao State.

With the current strength of the state of Chu, it is definitely not a combined opponent of the two countries, so it is impossible for the state of Chu to go north to attack the state of Wei.

After that, South Korea was the in-laws of the first-class power in the world, the Royal Kingdom, and had this great backer.

Even if Yuguo was thousands of miles away from the northern border, and had been out of sight of the Central Plains for several years, Chuguo would not dare to spy on Korea easily, so as not to provoke Yuguo’s anger.

Then to the west of Chu State is the powerful Qin State. This is a country of tigers and wolves. It has always only been Qin State that invaded other countries. I have never heard of any country that dared to flirt with Qin State’s beard.

Before, there were two fools, Yunzhong and Liangguo, who dared to touch this taboo, and then they didn’t have it.

Chu State did not dare to touch Qin State.

After thinking about it, after the State of Chu destroyed the State of Yue, the only thing that could be attacked and provoked, it seemed that there was only one State of Qi left.

Therefore, the state of Qi feared that the state of Chu would not have any worries after the collapse of the state of Yue, and would send troops north to attack the state of Qi. Therefore, the state of Qi quickly passed a meeting to rescue the state of Yue, and sent 100,000 troops to attack Chu in the south.

The 100,000 Qi army went south to attack Donghai County in Chu State, and quickly broke through the weakly defended county of Tancheng, sweeping half of Donghai County.

After that, the Qi army did not split up and tried to occupy Donghai County. Instead, they headed southward to Yueguoji County.

But half a month later, when Chu State had just reacted and was ready to mobilize a large army to stop Qi’s army, Qi’s reinforcements had already arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River, which was only a river barrier from Kuaiji County.

The more than 100,000 Chu troops who were attacking Jiangyin City, the capital of Yue Kingdom, suddenly fell into the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy on both sides.

In the northern part of Qi, the state of Yan faced the Qi army and went out, and the domestic emptiness was a great opportunity.

But there was no movement at all, just sitting and watching the fighter jets pass by.

At this time, the state of Yan was immersed in the prosperity and wealth of the two occupied counties of the state of Qi, as well as the vanity of expanding its territory and spreading martial arts.

In the eyes of the Yan Kingdom, although the world is in turmoil, it cannot affect the Yan Kingdom located in the northern border, in a cold place.

And the northern part of Yan State, the Hu people who would come to harass him every year, was also completely swept into the garbage heap of history because of the appearance of the Imperial State.

So now the entire Yan Kingdom can be said to have completely entered a false peace and prosperity.

Compared with other countries in the world, the people of Yan State also enjoyed a rare peace.

Also because of these peace, although the rule of Yan State was very exploited, the people in the country did not complain much, but supported the rule of King Yan more.

No way, who let them see that they were able to show the miserable state of Qi and Zhao, and they couldn’t help but feel even more fortunate.

Where else would you even think about rebelling and bring endless pain to yourself!

In June, as Qi joined the battle between Chu and Yue, the once prosperous state of Chu turned into a slump.

In August, the Qi army broke through the layers of interception of the Chu State, and several battles occurred on the way, and finally reached the foot of the Shanyin City in the Yue State.

In September, the Qi army united with the remaining Vietnamese army, and the two sides formed a large army of about 70,000 troops to start a decisive battle with the opposite 100,000 Chu troops.

In October, because the Chu army was exhausted and experienced a long war, coupled with the lack of geographical advantages in the country of Yue,

Lost my heart again.

Therefore, the two armies of Qi and Yue, who worked together, defeated the Chu army in one fell swoop and won the decisive battle.

The Chu army was defeated, and the 40,000 remaining soldiers withdrew from Kuaiji County. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com even vomited out Wu County, which had been embezzled before. It was only when they arrived at Lujiang County that they reluctantly took hold and regained their strength.

However, the 70,000 coalition forces of the two countries were also greatly damaged. In the end, only more than 30,000 people survived. The strength was greatly reduced, and they were no longer able to pursue the Chu army and expand the victory.

At the same time, the Yue Kingdom of Kuaiji County and Wu County had been recovered, and with the help of Qi Kingdom, they went north to attack Donghai County of Chu Kingdom. Because many cities in Donghai County were controlled by Qi Kingdom, Donghai County was quickly captured by Yue Kingdom. middle.

In this way, the country of Vietnam has also recovered to the previous grand situation of 50,000 troops.

However, there are too few elites, only 5,000 people, and the rest are recruits, and their combat power is worrying.

At this point, Qi and Vietnam finally bordered, and the two sides exchanged information and formed a military alliance.

After the two countries of Zhao and Wei, it became another alliance that cannot be ignored.

And Chu State, after this battle, the vitality was greatly damaged.

Not to mention the loss of troops and generals, Wu County and Donghai County were also lost, and their momentum declined.

In addition, the Chu State also lost a lot of troops and horses. The Chu army originally had 300,000, but now there are only 150,000. They can no longer attack other countries and can only barely protect themselves.

Under the circumstance that has gone through a long battle, the strong men in various countries have already been recruited, and it is already more difficult to restore the strength.

Even if the King of Chu tried his best to collect them, he only managed to recover 50,000 people, bringing the military strength to about 200,000 again, but the quality was seriously degraded.

In mid-October, the Qin and Zhao battlefields in the north were ignoring losses in the Qin state, and they lost a lot of troops when they fought together, and they continued to attack the defense line of the Zhao army one after another.

Dai County, an important town in the northern part of Zhao State with a long history, finally broke away from Zhao State’s territory and fell into the hands of Qin State.

And Qin State also had a geographical advantage over Zhao State because of its acquisition of Dai County.
