The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

In the 12th year of Emperor Yuan, at the beginning of January.

The situation of the Allied Forces of the Four Nations attacking Chu finally disappeared, and the countries defended the territories they occupied and began to digest, and Chu finally got time to breathe a sigh of relief.

After this battle, the state of Chu lost four well-developed and populous counties, and its strength was greatly damaged. There are only six counties left in the whole country, the population is only about 1.5 million, and there are only 150,000 soldiers and horses left. It has been reduced to a second-rate country.

In March, after defeating Zhao State, the confident Yan State sent 100,000 troops to attack Qi State in the south.

Qi's 80,000 soldiers resisted, but the veterans were exhausted and could not stop Yan's attack.

Jiaodong County, where the capital of Qi State is located, was quickly attacked by Yan State, and King Qi once again moved his capital to Langya City in Langya County in the south.

In April, after breaking through Jiaodong County, in addition to leaving 10,000 people stationed in Yan State, the remaining 50,000 troops continued to attack Langya County in the south.

The King of Qi organized 50,000 Qi troops to meet them. They fought five times and fought countless small battles. In the end, they lost to the edge of Yan State and retreated again.

30,000 Yan troops surrounded Langya City, the capital of Qi State, and attacked Langya City for three consecutive days. Langya City was in danger.

end of April.

For the sake of his own safety, King Qi led 20,000 defenders in the city to break through the siege, and could not escape to Lu County in Xue County again.

At the beginning of May, after King Qi abandoned the city and fled, 30,000 Yan troops quickly occupied Langya City and captured the entire territory of Langya County.

In mid-May, news came that the whole county of Bluetooth had been captured by the Yan army. King Qi quickly felt that Xue County was not safe, so he moved the capital again to Xiangxian County, Sishui County, which had just been occupied in the south.

At the end of May, 30,000 Yue State reinforcements rushed to Xue County, stopping the 30,000 Yan Army who was about to go south to invade Qi State again.

The two sides fought several times, and the Yue State felt that it could not get any benefits and had no choice but to withdraw its troops. Qi State finally stabilized completely.

After this battle, the name of Yan Guo's bravery and combat skills became famous in China, and he became a small bully in the north.

At the same time, the Yan Kingdom skyrocketed to eight counties, with a population of two million. At the same time, in view of the power of Yan State, many people from the five counties occupied by Yan State in Qi and Zhao countries joined Yan State's army, making the number of Yan State's army reach 200,000, which is superior to other countries.

However, Qi has a population of only 400,000, and only 50,000 old and weak soldiers left. It has been completely reduced to a small country at the bottom of the bottom.

Only by relying on the help of his ally, Yue, can he maintain his own existence.

July.

Zhao and Wei joined forces with 200,000 troops, and counterattacked against Dai County, which was occupied by Qin. In response to the attacks of the two countries, the Qin army assembled 100,000 troops to deploy defenses in Daijun.

August.

The two sides fought again and again, and the Qin army finally lost to the coalition forces of the two countries. It lost Daijun, which had just taken over, and its power shrank to the west of Taihang Mountain.

September.

After taking Daijun, Zhao and Wei regrouped and once again gathered 150,000 troops to attack the two counties of Shangdang, Taiyuan, which were occupied by Qin.

The Qin army assembled 10 people to resist, but they were at a numerical disadvantage after all. Although they resisted in the end, they lost Taiyuan County, and the defense line was shrunk to Shangdang.

October.

50,000 Zhao troops went north to attack Yanmen County.

November.

After regaining Yanmen County, Zhao Jun continued to advance westward and attacked Yunzhong County. The people of Yunzhong County had a deep hatred for Qin Guoyou, and when they heard that Zhao Jun was attacking, they were delighted to seek refuge. The Qin army in Yunzhong County was defeated, and the whole county was wiped out.

December.

After losing Yunzhong, Qin State completely lost contact with Shangdang County. King Qin realized that Shangdang could no longer be occupied by Qin State, so he ordered the defenders to retreat and return to Qin State via Hadong County in South Korea.

But before leaving, King Qin secretly ordered the defenders to slaughter more people in the county, so as to weaken the strength of Zhao State.

Shangdang County was completely destroyed and turned into a ghost, and was later recovered by Zhao Guo who heard the news.

In the 13th year of Emperor Yuan, March.

Yan State sent another 100,000 troops to the south to attack Xue County in Qi State and Donghai County in Yue State. In order to protect themselves, the two countries assembled 80,000 coalition troops to deploy defenses in the two counties to resist the attack of Yan State.

In the same month, after the King of Chu stabilized the situation, he sent 80,000 troops to the north, and launched a desperate confrontation with South Korea, the initiator of the alliance that dealt with him last time.

This time, the state of Chu wanted to regain the lost ground, take back Nanyang County, and give South Korea a hard time by the way, so that he could understand what would happen if he offended the state of Chu.

South Korea collected soldiers and horses from all over the country, and finally dispatched 100,000 people to the south to fight against 80,000 Chu troops.

The two armies confronted each other in Wancheng, Nanyang County, and fought several times. The Chu army with a heart of revenge finally defeated the Han army, which was not very well-motivated. The Han army retreated, and Nanyang County once again returned to Chu.

However, when the Han army retreated, it carried out the same order of Qin State in Shangdang County. The entire Nanyang County suffered a military disaster, and the population was lost by nine out of ten.

July.

As the Battle of Nanyang had just ended, Qin Guo in Guanzhong saw South Korea's weakness, and regardless of his own weakness, he sent 50,000 troops to attack Hadong County in South Korea.

Hedong County is too important, it is the barrier of the capital of Qin State, and it can have a very good terrain to block the attack of the six countries. For Qin, it must not be in the hands of its own enemies.

Hearing this bad news, South Korea had no choice but to assemble 50,000 Korean troops to resist. However, the Han army was weak, and it was difficult for the Qin army to be brave and defeated.

Similarly, the Han army slaughtered Hadong County, and would rather turn it into ruins than leave it to Qin to become his strength to better attack South Korea.

Hedong County was turned into scorched earth, and the Qin army then captured the whole territory.

So far, South Korea has finally stabilized, huddled in the land of the three counties, relying on his 100,000 army can barely defend it.

In August, the war between Yan State and Qi Yue was finally resolved.

The coalition forces of Qi and Yue were defeated, and Yan State broke through Donghai County of Yue State. As for Xue Jun in Qi State, because he was too dilapidated, he was not regarded as the primary target by the Yan army and survived.

In February of the 14th year of Emperor Yuan.

In order to cope with the growing strength, the country of Yan gradually encroached on the minds of other countries. Headed by Wei State, Zhao State, Qi State and Yue State joined the coalition forces.

The 250,000 allied forces attacked all parts of Yan State from all sides, and the 200,000 Yan army was hard to stop, losing cities and lands one after another.

In May, Julu County was recovered by Zhao Guo.

In July, Donghai County was recovered by Yue State.

In September, Jibei County was captured by the State of Wei. Langya County, Jiaodong County, and Linzi County were recovered by Qi State.

The power of Yan State has completely shrunk back to the original three counties, with only 50,000 troops left, and the total population of the whole country is only 400,000. The strength has dropped to the lowest point, and the country is on the verge of extinction.

However, at this point, the coalition forces did not continue to attack, and soon disbanded.

At the same time, in Liaoning City in Liaodong County, further north of Yan Kingdom, there was a man on the throne. After years of silence, he is finally ready to roar his voice to the world.
