The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 242: Wei’s assault

? The Chu state has completely risen in the south, taking back the territory that Qin has seized again and again. Naturally, the states of Wei and Zhao in the north are not far behind.

Without the natural danger of Taihang Mountain, the original defense strategy of the Qin Army completely failed, and the situation in Shangdang County became precarious.

Shangdang County has only about 10,000 defenders, originally with natural dangers, so naturally there is no need to be afraid of the hundreds of thousands of troops in the State of Zhao.

But now, Zhao Guo has crossed the Taihang Mountains and regained Taiyuan County in the north of Shangdang County. He took advantage of the situation from the north and invaded the hinterland of the Shangdang army in one fell swoop.

This blow was like hitting a seven-inch snake, hitting the seven-inch of Shangdang County, making the defenders of Shangdang caught off guard.

The country of Zhao is a full 250,000 army, and because Zhao country is located on the frontier, it often fights against the Huns like the Huns, and the people are brave and brave. And because they fought against the six nations, especially Qin, they fought for an unknown number of times, and their combat effectiveness was recognized by Qin and even everyone in the world.

The forces drawn from the people like them are naturally extremely elite, brave and good at fighting.

Although the Qin army is the same, and still has the advantage of defending the city, after all, there are not as many people as the Zhao army. Under the attack of the Zhao country's human sea tactics, they lost the city one after another, and slowly retreated to the top. The southern part of the party is the famous Changping Perseverance.

Changping, this is a place that Zhao Guoxia hates and feels humiliated.

Here, Zhao Guo died of 40 thousand young people, from the original first-class power, slowly weakened to the bottom of the existence.

Now that this place is guarded by the remaining 30,000 remnants of the Qin State, how can we not let Zhao State feel the pleasure of revenge? Looking at these remnants of Qin State is like looking at the same helpless defeated army of Zhao State.

With a breath of energy, Zhao Jun, under the supervision of King Zhao, swarmed up, and in more than ten days, the Qin army was completely wiped out, and no one was left alive.

However, the Qin army was completely wiped out, but their temporary counterattack and the Zhao army wiped out in the previous guard battle were also extremely large.

According to Zhao Guo’s subsequent estimates, 150,000 out of the 250,000 army were completely buried in the land of Shangdang County. It can be said that it is an inch of mountain and river and every inch of blood. In exchange for life.

At this moment, the most prosperous and glorious site in Zhao's history has basically been recovered, except for one occupied by the Huns and located in the northernmost Yunzhong County, because the Huns are also a member of the coalition army, which is not easy to snatch. Apart from that, the rest have been recovered.

And Zhao Guo, his territory has more than doubled, once again becoming a big country with a territory of 3,000 miles, and he has restored his domination.

Because of just regaining the lost ground, Zhao Jun was trained in the war, regained that spirit, and gained a large number of veterans, Zhao's army once again reached its peak.

Now that the nation of Zhao is working together, the nobles also generously donated some funds for their usual enjoyment, and helped their monarch once again form an army of 40,000.

Wang Zhao is now full of confidence. He believes that with this army, he dares to compete with any country in the world for the position of hegemony again, even if it is Qin or Yuguo.

The State of Zhao, which has fewer troops than the State of Wei, has such power. As a more advanced State of Wei, it is natural that it will not fall under the wind.

Although half of the territory of Hanoi County was originally South Korea, they would not help Wei to occupy Hanoi County, but even without these, Wei has an army of 30,000, which is enough to crush it all the way.

Under the fierce offensive of the 30,000 army, Hanoi County held on for more than a month, and soon all the city defenses were broken and fell into the hands of Wei Guo.

However, Wei is not much better. Hanoi has his 10,000 defenders after all. Wei also paid a great price for taking him. The number of deaths in the army alone is more than 150,000.

The remaining 50,000 people were injured, unable to fight, and had to withdraw to the rear to recuperate.

In other words, in the case of Hanoi County, Wei’s original army of 30,000 had already scrapped his 20,000, leaving only a remnant of 10,000.

The morale of these 10,000 people began to decline due to heavy casualties. Although they were not completely vulnerable to the first battle, it was naturally impossible to attack the remaining counties and counties of Qin, and they could only be weak in Hanoi. The county stationed on the spot, slowly regaining their combat effectiveness.

However, the Wei Kingdom is vast and rich in resources, and the land it occupies is also the most populous land in the Central Plains. Naturally, it will not be seriously injured by the deaths and injuries of the 20,000 army, and it will be sluggish like Zhao Guo.

The remaining 10,000 veterans can't be used if they can't be used, and it just happens that they are stationed in the newly recovered Hanoi County to suppress those with ulterior motives.

After all, Hanoi County is not the original place of Wei State, it belongs to the newly occupied land. Wei State does not have the slightest ruling foundation there~IndoMTL.com~ It is even worse than Qin State. Without a little army to guard it, it really can’t Said it is in Hanoi County, which family name is it?

Although he lost 30,000 troops that could be used for offensive operations, Wei's offensive did not stop there.

Instead, under the command of King Wei, a steady stream of reinforcements was quickly sent to Hanoi County, and another army of about 20 men was established again.

This army has just been formed for less than a month. King Wei just let them get in touch with each other a little bit. After having some understanding, he sent them to the Hedong County of Qin State, which is the original capital of Wei State. Anyi city.

Hedong County, the Neishi County next to the Qin Kingdom, is less than a few hundred miles away from the Qin Kingdom’s capital, Xianyang. If Hedong County will be seized, then the Qin Kingdom will become dangerous and the whole country will be turbulent. disturbed.

Although there is a so-called Hangu Pass to the east to block the Kwantung Allied Forces, as long as the army is stationed and the natural dangers of Hangu Pass, it is difficult for the Six Nations to attack Xianyang.

But if it does so, Qin will be completely locked in Hangu Pass again, want to leave the Six Nations again, and once again imitate what they did before, costing countless soldiers. Countless hours, slowly regaining it bit by bit.

How can such a possible event be accepted by the now ambitious King Yingzheng Qin!

Qin State started another round of emergency mobilization. This time it was the survivors of the Six Nations that King Qin did not trust before. They were forced to an end, and Ying Zheng couldn't manage that much.

From the counties and counties that were left in the six kingdoms under the rule of Qin, 10,000 people were urgently recruited and sent to Hedong County to unite with the 50,000 defenders of Hedong County to resist together. The offensive of Wei's 20,000 army.
