The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 254: Northern crisis situation
The soldiers' lives are on the battlefield. That is the least valuable. The so-called closeness to the people, the so-called benevolence, and the so-called strict discipline of their superiors are all in order to make the soldiers willingly work for them.
This is how the battlefield is today. The war has lasted for three months, and the most intense moment of the initial period has passed. In the past three months, three major battles have been born, and the situation on the battlefield has changed. A particularly important factor.
In the north, that is, the State of Wei. Now, under the Yewangcheng of Hanoi County, the 250,000 troops of Wei and Zhao are in a fierce confrontation with the 20,000 troops of Qin.
This time, Qin's northern army was commanded by Qin's famous general Mengwu. Some people may not know exactly who Mengwu is, but many of his two sons are absolutely thunderous.
His eldest son, Meng Tian, once led the Qin army with 30,000 yuan and attacked the Xiongnu in the north and captured thousands of miles of land in Hetao. And he built Qin's Great Wall Legion with one hand, defending the northern frontiers for the entire Qin State.
His youngest son, Meng Yi, is also a very famous man, both civil and military. In Zhong Yu's previous life, there was also a very famous TV series, Mythology, which was created based on Meng Yi.
To be able to cultivate such two outstanding sons, Mengwu will naturally not be worse?
At this time, in the country of Zhao, Lian Po was already dead, and there were a few greedy people who were faint and incompetent in the country, and there were not many who could fight.
But he has a person who can't be ignored. His existence supports half of the sky of Zhao Guo. It can be said that Zhao Guo can maintain such a long time after losing Lianpo, and he has something to do with this person. Relationship.
This person is the famous general of the State of Zhao, Li Mu, one of the four military gods of the Warring States Period.
After the defeat of the State of Zhao in the Changping battle, the Qin Army took advantage of the situation to attack Handan in the State of Zhao. Thanks to Li Mu's northern army, he defeated the Qin Army several times in the south, and then he was able to support the State of Zhao to the arrival of reinforcements from various countries. .
After that, the Qin army attacked the State of Zhao several times. It was Li Mu's existence that repelled the attack of the State of Qin.
According to historical records, Qin will go east in one or two years, and he will begin his path of annexing the six kingdoms and unifying the world.
When he attacked the State of Zhao, it was also because of Li Mu’s existence that he was frustrated, so he used Wei Liao’s plan to buy out Zhao’s treacherous ministers, framed and framed Li Mu, causing Li Mu’s death. It was also destroyed not long after.
As for the State of Wei, let's not talk about it. Since the death of Lord Xinling, there is nothing outstanding about being an improper military commander, and there are not a few capable officials in the civil servants, which are rotten to the bone.
But this time when the army marched south, Wang Zhao didn't bring Li Mu. He didn't trust Li Mu. He believed that Li Mu's military exploits were too high, and his merits were the main reason. Instead, he left Li Mu in North Xinjiang, where there was no danger, and led his army to the south by himself, wanting to take this opportunity to establish his supreme prestige.
This also gave Qin's general Mengwu a chance. After many plans, Mengwu threw out one bait after another, and finally relaxed the vigilance of Zhao and Wei.
Then his ambushing soldiers and horses suddenly slammed out, defeating the pursuit troops of the two countries, driving them into a narrow valley, and defending themselves in a trap.
Actually, in order to attract these two prey, Mengwu took advantage of Zhao Wang and Wei Wang’s eagerness to achieve success, wanting to make military exploits in order to build prestige, and successfully seduced them and made them ignore Many abnormalities.
However, as a decoy price, Mengwu also sacrificed more than 50,000 soldiers, which was caused by the chasers of the two countries to kill them on the way. Otherwise, how can these two greedy and cunning prey be easily believed!
However, the plan finally succeeded. After the final trap was not enough, through a counterattack, he successfully slashed 10 thousand Zhao and Wei coalition forces.
In addition to the Zhao-Wei coalition forces that were killed when they retreated all the way before, the entire Zhao-Wei coalition army has actually sacrificed 130,000 people.
Today, there are only 120,000 people left in the coalition forces of the two countries, of which 20,000 remain in the defense of Hanoi County, which means that they are trapped in the valley, guarding the army of King Zhao and King Wei. Only 10 million people are left.
Mengwu’s 20,000 Qin army also has 130,000 people. They don’t need to defend, they all surround King Zhao and King Wei, constantly using various methods to try to capture the kings of the two countries. They came to threaten the two countries to retreat or surrender.
The North Road front of the coalition forces is already in extreme crisis. The two commanders of the North Road have fallen into a deadlock. Their own strength will absolutely not save the entire chessboard. They can only look forward to external reinforcements. .
The king Wei and King Zhao, who were afraid of death, had already sent messengers at the moment they were trapped, desperately rushing to the two countries of Zhao and Wei, to the ministers and generals in the rear, requesting reinforcements and rescue.
This was the order of death, and the two kings released cruel words~IndoMTL.com~Whoever doesn't come is the generation of rebellion, and those ministers who are loyal to the country can be killed on the spot.
After hearing his king's order, he understood the crisis of the situation. The ministers of the two countries did not dare to be light-hearted. The few soldiers and horses left in the country that had been mobilized quickly rushed towards the valley where their king was trapped.
However, after the two countries have gone through more than two years of war, they are already exhausted. The domestic young and middle-aged population is extremely declining, and it is really difficult to recruit enough soldiers and horses to rescue them.
Among them, Wei Guo is the most obvious. Although he occupies the widest territory and has the largest population in this attack on Qin, he also has the most deaths.
On the site Wei Guo regained, half of the population on it would be divided among Yu Guo, and the rest he led to fight again, already almost dead.
So under the encouragement of their Prime Minister, they still sent a reinforcement of about 50,000 people to the valley.
And Zhao Guo is quicker, and they fought fewer tough battles. Although the population of the north is relatively small, there are still a lot of young people left, and there are many who can fight.
After receiving the call, Zhao Guo displayed his brave and combative side. Dajun Xun summoned him, and then appointed Li Mu as the commander in chief. When Zhao Wang was in danger, he was the first to think of the one who could save him. It's Li Mu, who he usually doesn't understand.
After receiving the order, Li Mu didn't dare to neglect, he swiftly moved south from the north, accepted the command of the 10 thousand army dispatched, and Xingye went south to rescue his king.
And Qin’s Mengwu is still worrying about how to conquer the two countries’ coalition forces in the canyon. Although these two countries’ coalition forces are some remnants of defeated generals, morale is low, but they are facing a crisis at this moment. The combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
