The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

Emperor Yuan six years, April, early.

Even though King Qi still couldn't believe it, he kept muttering, why? Why? But no one told him his answer, or if he was told, he couldn't listen.

But the messy beacon smoke on the border of Qi State, the battle reports from all over Qi State, and the swarms of messengers asking for help, all of a sudden the entire city gate of Linzi was lined up, and messengers reporting funerals and asking for help were everywhere.

At the beginning, this unique scenery attracted the crowds of Linzi people to watch, but as more and more messengers arrived, and the news that there were no beacon fires in all parts of Qi, the people of Linzi also began to worry and fear. stand up.

The price of goods in Linzi City soared, especially the daily necessities such as food, which were robbed madly by the common people. They bought frantically and recklessly, regardless of the fact that the enemy might not be able to reach the city of Linzi, and they didn't care that those profiteers raised the price dozens of times. They just bought, bought, and bought more, the more the better.

The whole of Linzi, and the whole of Qi, fell into panic, and the atmosphere of war permeated every corner. Even those barbarians who lived in the most remote mountains of Qi State, those barbarians who would not accept Wang Hua at ordinary times. They all felt the breath of war and began to consciously buy some necessary items such as salt.

However, Qi State is one of the Seven Kingdoms after all, a veteran powerful country with profound heritage.

Even before the whole country, they were caught in the illusion of peace and their minds were corrupted. But for the coming of war, despite the panic, they still organized resistance effectively.

The first batch of reinforcements, numbering 100,000 people, was quickly formed in Linzi City, and quickly dispatched to the front line to stop the coalition forces that had invaded the Qi State for three hundred miles.

At this time, although the coalition forces are in a state of invincibility, there is no army or place in the Qi country that can stop them.

But after all, with an army of 1.5 million, the body is too bloated, scheduling is too difficult, and the marching speed is extremely slow.

Even if their front army is composed of cavalry, they are as fast as the wind, but after all, they can't rush into Qi country quickly, and they are caught off guard.

Therefore, after the coalition forces captured Qi's tightly guarded border, they only had four or five more cities, and they were somewhat weak in succession. They had to wait for the troops behind to catch up before they could continue to attack.

This also gave Qi State a chance to react, allowing Qi State enough time to mobilize the power of his whole country to fight such a war of annihilation.

Today's Qi State, when it knew that it was besieged by the Allied Forces of the Six Nations, it had already fallen into complete madness.

It was only forty years since Qi was destroyed by the Six Kingdoms of Yan. That memory still remains in the minds of many old people in Qi. Even some juniors have heard it from their elders.

It can be said that such a great shame and hatred of destroying the country are still deeply engraved in the hearts of everyone in the Qi country and have not dissipated.

Now it seems that the scene is reappearing, and the six countries are attacking Qi again, and the six countries are in dire straits. It seems that Qi country will face the crisis of extinction again at any time.

But this time, Qi Guo can't guarantee that he can make another Tian Dan, another fire bull formation to defeat the enemy, and restore the country with two cities?

King Qi dared not bet on all of this, and neither did the ministers of Qi.

Although Qi State is destroyed, there is a great possibility that they will be able to serve in other countries and continue to be their nobles and high officials.

But there is a greater possibility that they will be exterminated by the whole family, and their land property and servant fiefs will all be deprived by the coalition forces, and they will be rewarded to the heroes of the coalition forces.

What's more, even if those officials defected to the coalition forces and were not dealt with, since ancient times, how many of the people who destroyed the country and the ministers who surrendered have been trusted? A few more survived.

So instead of betting on the unknown fate, it is better to gather all the strength and fight hard. After all, with the strength of living together, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.

When Qi's 100,000 reinforcements rushed to the front line and formally fought the coalition forces, Qi's rear had already formed a 300,000 army, equipped with the most sophisticated weapons, and went to the battlefield again.

Qi's 100,000 reinforcements had just arrived on the battlefield, and within three days of fighting with the Allied Forces of the Six Nations, they were completely defeated.

The speed of this defeat is unimaginable, not to mention the unbelievable state of Qi, even though the entire coalition army is sure that they will be able to win, they never thought that winning would be achieved so quickly.

It seems that the level of corruption in Qi's army is far beyond everyone's imagination.

Since the restoration of the Qi State, the Qi State's Shandong area has not come out for activities, let alone any wars with other vassal states. The army has been in peace for a long time, and it is only natural that its combat effectiveness has declined so quickly.

Just when the whole country of Qi was in great grief because of this news, the coalition army was more excited and worked harder, and the speed of marching was much faster.

In addition to the large number of people and the bloated body, the reason why the coalition army marched slowly before was because Qi was not weak, and the whole country was mobilized to gather a group of troops no less than the coalition army.

Everyone in the coalition army recalled the previous war with lingering fears. If the intensity of the previous war is really calculated, then the 1.5 million coalition forces may die more than 1 million.

It was a terrifying number, and no one in the coalition could guarantee that he would be one of them.

So they got scared, hesitated, and slowed down.

Although they know that no matter how much they delay, those who should go to the battlefield will still have to go to the battlefield, but wouldn't it be better if they could delay for a moment and let themselves live longer?

Therefore, their marching speed slowed down, and the high-level coalition forces naturally understood their little thoughts, but after thinking about it, they knew that they would rely on them for the next battle, so they didn't force them too much and let them do this.

Anyway, the state of Qi is there, can it still escape?

The coalition forces think so confidently.

They can't be blamed for this, even the Qin State, which is number one in the world, was beaten to the ground by them, and a group of elites were trained from it. Use them to fight the Qi army who is far inferior to the Qin army and has not experienced war for a long time, but is like a weak chicken.

Isn't that a matter of hand?

Facts have also confirmed this. Qi's border gates were opened soon, and the first batch of 100,000 troops who came to rescue were also defeated. The 300,000 Qi troops who originally planned to catch up with the battlefield and serve as the second line of defense also stopped short. forward.

The state of Qi was terrified of being beaten, fearing that the 300,000 army would be in vain as before.

So he stayed in the capital, continued to mobilize the people in the rear, and planned to gather more troops to fight to the death with the coalition forces under the city of Linzi.
