The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

Soldiers' lives are on the battlefield, and they are the least valuable. Their superiors' so-called closeness to the people, so-called benevolence, and so-called strict discipline are all for the sake of making soldiers willingly work for them.

The current battlefield is like this. The war has lasted for three months, and the most intense moment in the early stage has passed. In the past three months, three major battles have taken place, which have played a particularly important role in the change and development of the battlefield situation. factor.

Among them, in the north, that is, Wei State, under the Yewang City in Hanoi County, the 250,000 troops of Wei State and Zhao State came to a fierce confrontation with the 200,000 army of Qin State.

This time, Qin State's northern army was commanded by Qin State's famous general Meng Wu. Some people may not know who Meng Wu is, but many of his two sons are absolutely familiar.

His eldest son, Meng Tian, ​​once led a Qin army of 300,000 to attack the Huns in the north and captured thousands of miles of Hetao. And he single-handedly built Qin's Great Wall Legion to defend the northern border for the entire Qin country.

His youngest son, Meng Yi, is also a very famous person, capable of both civil and military skills. In Zhong Yu's previous life, there was also a very famous TV series, Mythology, which was created based on Meng Yi.

Being able to cultivate such two extremely outstanding sons, Meng Wu will naturally not be far behind?

At this time in Zhao State, Lian Po was dead, and the country was full of fatuous, incompetent and greedy people, few of whom could fight.

However, he has a person that no one can ignore. His existence supports half the sky of Zhao Guo. It can be said that Zhao Guo was able to maintain such a long time after losing Lian Po, and he has a relationship that cannot be ignored with this person.

This person is Li Mu, a famous general of the State of Zhao and one of the Four War Gods of the Warring States Period.

After the defeat in the Changping War of Zhao State, the Qin Army took advantage of the situation to attack Zhao State's HD. Thanks to Li Mu leading his northern army, he went south to defeat the Qin Army many times, and then he was able to allow Zhao State to support the arrival of reinforcements from various countries.

Afterwards, the Qin army sent large armies to attack Zhao State several times, and it was the presence of Li Mu that repelled Qin's attack.

Originally, according to historical records, Qin State will go east in a year or two, and start his road to annex the six countries and unify the world.

When attacking Zhao State, it was also because of Li Mu's existence that he was frustrated, so he used Wei Liao's plan to buy Zhao's treacherous ministers, framed Li Mu, and caused Li Mu to die. Afterwards it was destroyed.

As for the state of Wei, let's not talk about it, since the death of Lord Xinling, there is nothing outstanding about not being a general, and there are not many capable civil servants, they are rotten to the bone.

But this time when the army marched south, King Zhao didn't bring Li Mu with him. He didn't trust Li Mu, and thought that Li Mu's military exploits were too high. Instead, he left Li Mu in the northern border where there was no danger, and led the army to march south by himself, wanting to take this opportunity to establish his supreme prestige.

This also gave Qin's general Meng Wu a chance. After repeated planning, Meng Wu threw out one bait after another, and finally relaxed the vigilance of Zhao and Wei.

Then his ambushing soldiers and horses rushed out suddenly, defeated the hunting troops of the two countries, and forced them into a narrow valley, where they were trapped to defend themselves.

To be honest, in order to lure these two prey, Meng Wu took advantage of Zhao Wang and Wei Wang's eagerness for success, wanting to make military exploits in order to establish prestige, successfully seduced them, and made them ignore many unreasonable things. normal place.

However, as the price of bait, Meng Wu also sacrificed more than 50,000 soldiers, who were killed by the pursuers of the two countries on the way. Otherwise, how could these two greedy and cunning prey easily believe it!

However, the plan succeeded in the end. After the final trap persisted, he successfully beheaded 100,000 Zhao Wei coalition forces through a counterattack.

In addition to those Zhao Wei coalition forces that were killed when they retreated and fled all the way, the entire Zhao Wei coalition army has sacrificed 130,000 people.

Today, there are only 120,000 people left in the coalition forces of the two countries, and 20,000 of them are left in Hanoi County for defense. 100,000 people.

And Mengwu's 200,000 Qin army still has 130,000 people. They don't need to defend, they all surround Zhao Wang and Wei Wang, and constantly use various methods to try to capture the kings of the two countries and use them to intimidate them. Both countries retreat or surrender.

The northern front of the coalition forces is already in dire straits. The two commanders of the northern route are already in a deadlock. Their own strength alone cannot save the entire chessboard. They can only hope for reinforcements from outside.

Wei Wang and Zhao Wang, who were afraid of death, had already sent messengers to Zhao and Wei countries at the moment they were trapped, and asked for reinforcements from the ministers and generals in the rear.

This was a death order, and the two kings uttered cruel words, whoever did not come would be a conspiracy, and those ministers who were loyal to the country could be killed on the spot.

After hearing his king's order, he understood the crisis of the situation. The ministers of the two countries did not dare to be scornful, and hurriedly mobilized the few remaining soldiers in the country, and rushed towards the valley where their king was trapped.

However, after all, the two countries have experienced more than two years of war, and they are already exhausted. The population of young and middle-aged people in the country is extremely withered, and it is really difficult to recruit and mobilize enough soldiers and horses to rescue.

Among them, Wei State is the most obvious. Although he occupied the largest territory and the largest population in this attack on Qin State, he also killed the most people.

The territory recovered by Wei State, half of the population on it will be distributed to Yu State, and he will lead the rest to fight, and he is already almost dead.

So under the reluctance of their prime minister, they still sent a reinforcement army of about 50,000 people to the valley.

But the state of Zhao was much faster, and they fought fewer tough battles. Although the population in the north was relatively small, there were still a lot of young and strong people left, and a lot of them were able to fight.

After Zhao Guo received the summons, he showed his brave and good fighting side, the army quickly assembled, and then appointed Li Mu as the commander. When Zhao Wang was in danger, the first person who thought of saving him was actually his usual I can't get used to Li Mu.

After Li Mu received the order, he didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly went south from the north, accepted the command of the dispatched 100,000 army, and went south in the starry night to rescue his king.

And Meng Wu of the Qin State is still worrying about how to conquer the coalition forces of the two countries in the canyon. Although the coalition forces of the two countries are some remnants and defeated generals, and their morale is low, they are facing a critical situation at the moment, and the fighting power they have exploded is still unacceptable. Underestimated.
