The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 291: Major changes 2

The Qin army trapped in the valley guarding the coalition forces and the valley’s foreign aid forces, is now packing up in secret, discarding most of the unnecessary supplies, gathering them in a few large piles, and preparing to leave. The fire is burning.

Yes, the current Qin army is indeed retreating. Taking advantage of the dark night, the generals who had been ordered long ago, signaled the soldiers under his command to move quickly, lightly and simply flee.

This is not a sudden intention today, but a secret preparation a few days ago, but only a small part of it knows, some of the confidants of those generals.

The real news is hidden, so I'm afraid of leaking it out. Li Mu, who is outside the mountain, knows it. When the time comes, he will set up an ambush or cover up all the way, and the loss will be great.

All the Qin Jun’s faces were calm. For all this, they did not show any resistance or surprise. What they have experienced in the past few months has long allowed them to face any emergencies. Shocked.

It’s just that there’s no expression on their faces, but is it really that way in their hearts?

I don't know how many people are secretly saddened. They have lost their relatives, friends, and brothers here. And how many people are fortunate that they have survived the battlefield of this meat grinder. Or maybe someone is angry here, they don't want to evacuate, they still want to continue fighting the coalition to the end.

But all this will eventually end.

No matter what they think, the orders of their superiors cannot be violated, and they must carry them out. Evacuation will be the only ending they can get.

This time the retreat was very calm, and there was no suspected robbery. Instead, even a coalition soldier did not see it, as if they suddenly disappeared from the valley.

Did it really disappear? No, no.

The main reason why they can withdraw so easily is not only that they do not want to fight, but even the coalition forces do not want to fight.

At this point in the war, it can be said that it is close to the end. The battles of the upper, middle and lower three battlefields have all subsided, leaving only some aftermaths still in turmoil.

The six countries that participated in the war each suffered heavy losses and exhausted their national power. In addition to the vast land and resources of Chu, he can barely care about these losses and support. The other countries have barely supported them and are on the verge of collapse.

The two countries of Zhao and Wei are no exception. Now domestic men over the age of fifteen have been drafted into the army, and the cultivation of farmland has been entrusted to some young children and strong women.

The domestic production and operation have gradually stagnated or even regressed. It seems that it will not be able to sustain it. A large-scale famine has occurred and a large number of people have starved to death.

Under this situation, Li Mu naturally didn't want to fight. He deeply understood that even if he took advantage of the situation, he might defeat the remaining 30,000 Qin army.

But on the other hand, he would at least lose more than 10,000 soldiers. Regardless of the fact that these 10,000 people are not so many, it is nothing compared to the more than 200,000 people lost before.

However, these 10,000 people represent the happiness of 10,000 families and 70-80,000 people. When these people died, not only did Zhao and Wei lose a lot of young men, they were equivalent to all the men in a county. It will even affect the families behind them, adding more than 10,000 white-clothed families in the two countries. Why bother!

Even if the 30,000 Qin army is left to withdraw, with the current situation of Qin State, what can he do? It was just withdrawing from the customs, lingering on the air.

So out of this consideration, Li Mu did not pursue, but restrained his soldiers. He watched the Qin army retreat quietly beside him, leaving the Qin army safe and sound, leaving this place of death and injury in fear. .

Then, when the sun shines on the next day, the reinforcements outside the valley finally merged with the remnants in the valley.

The moment the remnants in the valley came out of the valley, they all burst into tears, lost control of their emotions, and lay on the ground crying bitterly.

Although it was only more than three months, but this period of time, it was like a lifetime, making them seem to have gone through several reincarnations, and the whole person became vicissitudes of life and exhaustion.

During the days in the valley, they lacked food and clothing, endured the biting cold wind, and the constant threats from the Qin army. Their fear and trembling were beyond words.

If it weren't for the kings of the two countries to stay with them, they would also be besieged by those Qin troops, giving them a little support in their hearts.

"At least, our king is still with us."

This is a sentence spoken by all the living soldiers in the valley before sleep. Only by this sentence can they barely fall asleep and have a little sense of security.

Similarly: "At least, we still have reinforcements outside, and we still have hope!"

This sentence is spoken by all soldiers before every battle, and it has never been interrupted. This is the motivation that supports them to continue fighting, and the desire for life supports them.

Now their 30,000 people have finally come to this moment. They have killed nearly 100,000 of their colleagues, and finally made them the lucky ones who survived~IndoMTL.com~How to keep them from getting excited?

You must know that during the period of time they were trapped, they were hungry, and the corpses in the robes were not let go. They were used as food to satisfy their hunger and as food for their survival.

In their eyes, the skinny and dry body of the same robe, the yellow skin, and the sunken eyes, because of the blood and sweat mixed together, the dirty body that has not been bathed for several months. Treated by them as a delicacy, every battle is a full meal for them. (=half-/float*-sheng+)www.banfusheng.com

No one knows what he will die after death, when his corpse will be eaten by others? Therefore, they are all extremely fearful, doing everything they can to survive on the battlefield.

I don’t know how many colleagues, or because they can’t stand this kind of life, they committed suicide. Or those colleagues, because of their desire to survive, were drawn as a shield and ended their miserable life.

After going through this event, the psychology of these soldiers has been distorted. It can be said that they are all abandoned.

Even perhaps because of this experience, they have become bloodthirsty and brutal, and become a veteran who can fight well. However, their destructive power will also increase exponentially, and even their chiefs will be difficult to control.

In the hearts of King Wei and King Zhao, their days in the valley were actually extremely fearful and difficult.

Because the two of them don't know, when these soldiers who have been forced to the extreme and whose spirits have collapsed, will a mutiny break out and kill them both?

So they made up their minds that after breaking through the siege, these soldiers must find a way to deal with them, preferably as cannon fodder, to be consumed on the battlefield.
