The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 252: The prologue of the war
As a king, one's own authority can only be established with the help of others, and the foundation of one's ruling depends on the assistance of others to be stable. This is undoubtedly the biggest blow to this king.
"Yes, my lord, Qin is too strong. Even the current Qin is not something that any one of us can face alone! Even if it is our long-term cooperation, he must rely on our cooperation. Only with the aid of the state of the Alliance can we withstand Qin on the frontal battlefield!" The old prime minister also sighed and said in sorrow.
"In this case, let's do as the prime minister said. I left half of the people in the Wei state with 150,000 guarding all over the place, and the remaining 150,000 will go out with my king. I will personally lead the reinforcements to the front line to help the imperial country. The army who resisted the Qin State, this time, will not break the Qin State and vowed not to return the army!" King Wei suddenly drew out the sword from his waist and cut off the corner of the case to make his mind clear.
"Yes, I won't break the Qin country, and vowed not to return the army!" A group of officials stood up together, their faces solemn, and shouted.
One by one, the soldiers were recruited by King Wei from various places, and they were constantly rushing to South Korea, where they would join the coalition forces and attack Qin together.
For this order, many soldiers were extremely puzzled and even resentful. They who didn't want to fight in the first place were forcibly dragged to the battlefield by the king of Wei. After killing countless people, they finally hoped for a period of rest. .
Where did I think that it would take only a month or two to take a break, or even less than half a month, before it would be brought to the battlefield, and it would still be head-to-head with Qin's main force, this time the casualties would definitely be more serious.
I don't know how many people will survive this time.
This is the common aspiration of all the soldiers of the State of Wei. They have taken lightly. This war will not start and end early as they expected.
It seems that if you don't hit him for four or five years, or even longer, you can't stop at all.
The war has lasted for two years until now. During these two years, there is no place in the world that is not affected by the war.
The imperial kingdom in the north and the Huns in the grassland sent their own soldiers and horses for war. As for the six kingdoms and the Qin kingdom in the south, let alone the state of Qin.
Those people in the rear of the countries, although the life is equally difficult, and even the people don’t have a livelihood, but at least they can still live and have a house to shelter them from wind and rain.
Even if their sons, husbands, and fathers were rushed to the battlefield for one reason after another, they fell on the far ground and couldn't come back.
The really miserable thing is in the territory where the two sides are at war, that is, the homeland of the six countries seized by Qin. The people living on it are called miserable.
It doesn't matter if you are dragged into a soldier. After all, this is the normal state of the Warring States Period. All ordinary people are conscripts. Whoever has never been to the battlefield once or twice is a rare thing.
What's even worse is that because it is in the center of the war, it is extremely inconvenient and costly to transport military rations at the rear, and there are no countries in the world to transport military rations to the front lines. This is difficult.
After thinking about it, whether it is Qin or other countries, they came up with a method, which is to collect grain and grass materials on the spot.
At this moment, the army’s rations were all available, but the people’s life was miserable. The rations that had been small in reserve were robbed, and the crops that were cultivated in the coming year were also robbed.
This can be said to be thorough and completely cut off the way of life for these people.
If these are not excessive, after all, being an official is overbearing, no one knows. These ordinary people ran to dig wild vegetables, eat tree bark and so on. Although hungry and uncomfortable, they can still survive. Some.
What's more cruel is because of the war. All soldiers are mentally tense because of constant death. After tenseness, they need to relax him. The best preparation is naturally a woman.
The local people are faced with the fate of being robbed of rations and money, and their wives and children will be raped again. I don't know how many women are unbearable, commit suicide, or are killed by someone directly.
After all this ruin, the territories occupied by the two sides can be said to be almost destroyed. It is a bit exaggerated to say that it is broken into ruins, but it is definitely not a good place.
There are burnt-down and abandoned houses everywhere, and in the mountains and forests, the original sparse figures have become more numerous, full of traces of refugees.
In contrast, a large number of fertile fields were abandoned, and the dense population on the plains became sparse. It often took him more than ten or twenty miles to see one or two people, and they were still some refugees.
What’s even more terrifying is that, after this scourge, all the local people no longer trust those troops, let alone their respective countries, whether he is Qin or his own country, in the eyes of ordinary people , That is something even more terrifying than Tiger Wolf.
Similarly, those soldiers also understand what they have done, and understand better, I am afraid that their hometown will not be spared~IndoMTL.com~ also suffered.
But what can they do? The boss's order cannot be violated. He may die at any time, and he is not with his wife and children. Where can they control so many pawns?
Most people have fun in time and enjoy a little more, that is, the thought of earning. The wanton raging on where they pass has brought a more vicious circle.
It can be seen from this that even though their combat effectiveness has become higher due to looting, their fighting will has also become lower. For their loyalty to their own country, that’s two words. , Ha ha.
But how can the soldiers complain? Those who should go to the battlefield still have to go to the battlefield. They were driven by the expelled and rushed to South Korea with a relatively quick speed.
Similarly, in the Kingdom of Zhao, which is farther north in the Wei Kingdom, King Zhao also assembled an army of about 10 million people, and went south to make peace with the Imperial Court.
In the south, the Kingdom of Chu in Nanyang County has been put down. Only one Hanzhong County has completely regained all the lost land in the Kingdom of Chu. He, who has already freed his hands, also sent an army northward.
The Kingdom of Chu is worthy of a vast land and rich resources, even if the territory is sparsely populated, but in terms of a huge area, it is far from the Three Kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han.
This time, he sent a total of 30,000 people, which is 10,000 more than Hezongchang Yuguo’s troops in South Korea.
According to this calculation, the united vertical alliance has 90,000 troops, only 50,000 less than Qin State. Although there are some slight weaknesses in quantity, quality is undoubtedly more advantageous than Qin.
After all, the army of the United Vertical Alliance, the number of young and strong, far exceeds the Qin State. Compared with the old, weak, sick and disabled troops of the Qin State, it is still much stronger and much more attractive.
