The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 270: Comparison of strengths
? Under the hill, the plain more than twenty miles away.
At this time, the plain, hundreds of miles in radius, was divided into two by a dense sea of people.
The coalition army and the Qin State, according to different camps, are clearly divided into two parts. The black waves of Qin State and the sea of red, blue and cyan flowers of the coalition forces confront each other, and they are on the verge of breaking out.
If you look closer, you can find that, whether it is the Qin army or the coalition army, most of the faces of every soldier in their front row are full of tension, and there is a little sweat on their foreheads. Zhu, obviously they are also a little scared about this battle.
This is extremely abnormal and extremely unreasonable.
It's not about the coalition forces, but about the State of Qin. Since the rise of the State of Qin, they have had great advantages in their battles with other countries in Shandong every time. The soldiers of the State of Qin are also famous for being intrepid and fearless of death, daring to fight and being able to fight.
This tradition has lasted for more than a hundred years.
Up to now, the fear they have found on the faces of the soldiers of the State of Qin is surprising.
However, if you think about it carefully, it feels right.
After all, many of the current Qin Army are ordinary people who have been forcibly conscripted. Even if they have war experience, what can be forced is forced after all, and there is some resistance in their hearts.
In the Qin army, there are still quite a few survivors of the Six Nations. They are not as loyal to Qin as they might have imagined, and they are not as unrelenting to the homeland as they might have imagined.
Of course, these are secondary, as long as the Qin Army can maintain a winning posture and an overwhelming advantage over the six nations. They would put all this away, and under the constraints of the Qin State, they would transform themselves from a lamb to a tiger wolf, and from fear of war to daring to fight.
However, the current state of Qin did not give them the same confidence as before. Instead, at the Han-Qin border, they were severely blocked by the army on the opposite side, and even smashed into the sand.
Now the two armies have been facing each other for more than two years, and they didn't go to war until more than a month ago.
This long-term depression has long caused every soldier of the Qin Army or the Allied Forces to feel extremely dull in their hearts, and their nerves are like a tight string that can be broken at any time.
Don't underestimate the impact of the day-to-day confrontation before the war on the soldiers' psychology.
You must know that before going to the battlefield, every soldier rushed to the battlefield with the feeling that he might die at any time.
How many days does this mood last for more than ten days? Even for a month or two, that's nothing, it's within the soldier's tolerance.
But if he continues to grow up last month, the soldier will not be able to bear it. Who can guarantee that he will always be on guard every day, every month and every year, and keep his fear of death without being crazy of.
Finally, they felt that the crazy confrontation was over, and the two armies began a decisive battle. Every day, the soldiers suffocated their breath, trying to release their depressed mood on the battlefield.
But as soon as the battle was fought, both sides felt extremely desperate.
Among them, Qin is especially the country. They actually hold the mentality of contempt for the countries in Shandong. Even if they suppress it for a long time, they still have a certain psychological advantage.
They think that under the iron army of the Qin State, the opposing army will be able to tear like a piece of paper in a short time with just a little contact.
But Yuguo's army gave them a lesson.
Even when the war started for the first time, Yuguo's army had a lot of decline in strength due to the mixture of Huns. However, the Huns are called wolves, and they naturally have the bloodthirsty of wolves and their natural keenness for fighting.
Although they do not have the well-trained and strict instinct of the imperial army, their bloodthirsty for killing is not inferior to the imperial army.
The drag on the battle power of the Yuguo army was not as great as imagined, especially the resistance in their hearts, under the lead charge of the Yuguo army, it slowly turned into a follower of worship.
As soon as they fought, the Qin army, who was a little despised in their hearts, suffered a big loss, and finally had to fight for a loss of both sides. Each of the 100,000 people on both sides could only return 10,000 to 20,000.
This time the battle and confrontation left a deep and terrifying impression in the hearts of their ordinary soldiers.
However, after the Han Yan coalition forces, their performance was disappointing and unsatisfactory.
They had just been on the battlefield not long ago, because of the fear that Qin Jun had become accustomed to, and their own unreliable fighting will, they were easily broken by Qin Jun and quickly retreated.
If it weren’t for the sturdy people like the sledgehammer, who barely supported it on the battlefield, plus the watchful superintendent team behind, and the more bloodthirsty Huns supporting it, I’m afraid that the second decisive battle The start of the coalition will be a complete defeat.
But now, after nearly ten days of recuperation, the morale of the coalition forces has recovered, and because of the previous dispersal of the sledgehammer ~ IndoMTL.com~ the morale of the coalition generals and soldiers of the base has made them feel Fighting, but also a little longing.
After all, for those who are hungry and can’t eat enough, the two hundred cattle and sheep and 100 altars of wine that they have been allocated by the sledge hammer are undoubtedly a huge temptation to make them The temptation to give your life for it.
For those generals, there is nothing more tempting than to build merits, get promoted and make money.
So for this battle, Zhong Yu is still looking forward to it. He believes that this battle, under the coalition forces that have been motivated to fight, still has some highlights.
This time, the number of coalition forces is not as large as when it was turned on. After all, the previous 200,000 people had already died of 70,000, so the current coalition forces have only 130,000 people able to play.
As for the elite of Yuguo's 50,000 soldiers, and the 15,000 recuperating soldiers who retreated from the first decisive battle, they were regarded as elite elites, and staying behind did not mean to fight.
The number of the Qin army on the opposite side is still from the last 200,000 Qin army.
The Qin army also suffered some losses last time. More than 40,000 people died. Therefore, only about 160,000 people were able to go to the battlefield this time. Compared with the coalition forces, there are still some advantages.
However, these advantages are not big. Compared with the battlefield of 100,000 people, an extra two to thirty thousand people is not a big advantage.
However, the commander of the Qin Army, Wang Jian, is a terrifying opponent. He should make good use of the two to three thousand people to form a blow to the coalition forces.
Of course, the coalition forces are not without any ruthless roles. There are many outstanding generals and commanders in the Yuguo on Zhong Yu's side. Outstanding military experts like Cao Cao are among them.
