The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 246: The decisive battle is coming

? Yuguo's current powerful strength has already aroused the vigilance of the nations of the world. In the eyes of some people, his powerful strength is even more terrifying than Qin's.

After all, the state of Qin nowadays has lost the land of the six countries he had captured for hundreds of years, and his strength is far less than at the beginning. Under repeated battles, the loss of Qin's military strength continued to decrease.

From the beginning of the war to the present, in more than a year, Qin has lost more than 500,000 soldiers and horses. Such a large loss is a great weakening for Qin State.

And most importantly, the dead 500,000 soldiers and horses were made up of Lao Qin people, half of the young and strong population of Lao Qin people.

The loss of these people has greatly shaken the foundation of Qin's rule, making his originally stable country become turbulent.

Qin State is too big, and there are too many places to guard.

The two counties of Bashu in the south are located in remote areas, so there is no need to worry about attacks by other princes. In addition, the mountains are obstructed and the terrain is dangerous, so only a few soldiers and horses can defend it.

So Qin can guard the two counties of Bashu even as long as 50,000 people remain.

Who allowed Qin to occupy Bashu for hundreds of years, and all the people of Bashu have completely returned to their hearts, and truly become a Qin person.

The only concern is that the current Hanzhong County of Qin State, Hanzhong, which was originally in the rear, has faced the threat of Chu State. It is adjacent to the Nanjun now occupied by Chu State, and may be attacked by Chu State at any time.

The King Qin has not forgotten that Hanzhong Jun was captured by Qin from Chu, and Chu definitely had something to do with Hanzhong.

Fortunately, there are some mountains between Hanzhong and Nanjun. At least there are some defenses, and there are rivers blocking them, which can be considered dangerous. As long as some soldiers and horses are held in, there should be no major problems.

So Qin left 100,000 people in Hanzhong, and took all dangerous places, mainly in the direction of Nanjun, to be attacked by Chu.

Hanzhong is too important. It connects the two granaries of Qin and Bashu. If he is broken, I am afraid that Bashu will be completely lost from Qin's hands.

In the northern frontier of the Qin State, bad news has also been heard during this period. There is a northern nomadic soldier of about 100,000 who is harassing the border of the State of Qin.

The northern nomads did not use plunder as their main purpose. They just harassed everywhere, looted people, burned fields, and made Qin’s northern frontiers. People are not living, and refugees can be seen everywhere.

They are all cavalry, they come and go like wind, and they are not greedy for military exploits. They often retreat as soon as they touch. After fighting one place, they ran to another place, so that Qin’s frontier army could not find the position. Difficult.

For this harassment-based army, although the threat to Qin is not as great as other countries, it cannot be underestimated.

After all, 100,000 people, if they play at a critical moment, can be a very important help, at least it will be no problem to win one or two counties in the State of Qin.

In normal times, King Qin had already ordered hundreds of thousands of troops to expedition to the north, and these prairie wolf tribes must be maimed, and they would not stop until they were softened and fled to the Northern Territory.

But now Qin is leaking air everywhere, and battlefields of gunpowder are everywhere. How can there be any forces and energy to deal with these people, and can only order the frontier guards to be more prepared, and don't let these disgusting mangy dogs cause too much crisis. Just fine.

Because of the harassment of these nomads, Qin’s 200,000 frontier troops did not have much mobilization, and they still stayed in place to guard against the invasion of these nomads.

Today, in various places in Guanzhong, all the defenders have basically been mobilized and sent to the front line. The defense is extremely empty. Even in some counties, even the combat power of 100 people is not available, and they can barely maintain some basics. It's all about law and order.

The entire Guanzhong, now the imperial capital of the State of Qin, Xianyang City, can provide a 50,000 left-behind troops, but this troop was left by Ying Zheng to guard his own safety, so how could it be easily mobilized.

Without these 50,000 people, even if Guanzhong is the old site of the Qin State, King Qin cannot guarantee that there will be no trouble. After all, there are many people staring at the position of King Qin.

After all the calculations, Qin has already had five people in each household, and he has recruited millions of his army. Basically, the men of the old Qin people have been sent to the battlefield and rushed to various places.

But at the current level, Qin's soldiers and horses are still not enough. People are needed everywhere. As a last resort, they also recruited those untrusted survivors of the Six Nations.

He recruited 300,000 troops from these immigrants and dispatched them to the frontier front to fight their original homeland.

Now King Qin has completed the second round of mobilization and recruitment. In places like Guanzhong Bashu, where Qin has the deepest roots, he once again mobilized the people to join the army.

This time, the standard for conscription is that all persons over 14 years old and under 80 years old must join the army, without exception.

Under such a wide quota, the 5 million old Qin people have been drastically reduced to 4 million people because of men's participation in the army~IndoMTL.com~, and his 400,000 old and weak soldiers have been recruited once again.

But we shouldn't be underestimated because of these 400,000 old and weak soldiers. Those kids are nothing but the old men, but they are all experienced veterans.

They have not been alive for a few years. They must be very happy to be able to use their lives on the battlefield to fight for the survival of their country for their country before dying.

These 400,000 people were not sent to the battlefield immediately, but rushed from all over the country to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, where they were on a three-month rest.

After all, they are not young people. Many people are still new to war, or they are unfamiliar. It takes a certain amount of time to train and recuperate, so that they can gradually gain an understanding of war.

Qin's madness has reached its peak. At any rate, the recruitment of these old and weak is not an end, but a beginning.

Old Qin people have already reached this point, and the survivors of the Six Kingdoms who are still under the rule of Qin are naturally not immune.

Today, the survivors of the Six Kingdoms still under the control of Qin State, there are probably more than 1.2 million him. King Qin directly recruited 200,000 soldiers and horses from these people, plus the previous 200,000 people. All the men who are the survivors of the Six Nations have been removed.

This time, King Qin intends to have a final battle, either life or death.

This large army of 600,000 old and weak will go to the barracks where Wang Jian, the head of the east army army, will have a decisive battle against all countries in the world.

The fate of the world also has an answer in this battle.

And the countries under the world did not fall behind when Qin State acted. More and more soldiers and horses were mobilized by those countries and sent to the front.
