The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

Today's Meng Wu is in a very embarrassing situation. Behind him is the 100,000 dead, surrounded by the two countries' coalition forces in the valley, with no way out.

And in front of him, he was approaching him quickly. Li Mu, one of the four great generals of the Shang Kingdom, Zhao Guo's famous general Li Mu, commanded by him, was attacking him aggressively.

There are a large number of enemy troops on the front and back sides, and the Qin army caught in the middle can easily fall into the embarrassing situation of being attacked from both sides and being attacked by the enemy!

However, although the situation is so bad, fortunately, he still has certain advantages thanks to Meng Wu's plan.

The place where the coalition forces of the two countries are now besieged is within a forest, and the surrounding terrain is relatively dangerous. And the most important thing, behind the canyon is a mountain range, extremely steep. And the front of the valley, that is, the only way out, was blocked by Qin State.

The coalition forces of the two countries trapped inside, like a turtle in a urn, have nowhere to go, and if they want to escape, they can only rush through the valley's mouth, which is tightly controlled by the Qin State.

It's just that the siege that Qin Jun had designed a long time ago was so simple? Taniguchi has now simply set up a simple checkpoint.

Some preliminary defensive measures have been arranged on it, and tens of thousands of Qin troops are strictly defending there at any time.

There is a steady stream of supplies from the Qin State in the rear, and the coalition forces of the two countries in the valley, who are short of food and clothing and have broken weapons, have no ability to break through this defense.

They are like Zhao Jun at the moment of the Battle of Changping, once again surrounded by a place with nowhere to escape, surrounded by a large number of Qin Jun, and finally starved to death.

But there is one thing they are luckier than the Zhao army in the Changping battle, that is, it is not Zhao Kuo who is besieged, but the respective kings of the two countries.

Moreover, the two countries are not like the previous Zhao State, which does not have the slightest ability to send reinforcements, and the Qin army is not as powerful as before.

No, the 150,000 reinforcements sent by the two countries rushed here, and now there are only 130,000 Qin troops left. They will face the 150,000 troops ahead unscathed, their morale is high, and there are reinforcements led by the army god Li Mu.

Later, there will be a group of 100,000 coalition troops from the two countries who are starving and crazy, and the author will fight to the death. It can be described as extremely dangerous.

As I said just now, the two countries of Korea and Wei are surrounded by a mountain forest, and there are naturally many dangers in the mountains. Meng Wu relied on these dangers to establish three defenses.

These defenses rely on the terrain, and rely on the state of Qin to win the allegiance of the public losers. The extremely advanced equipment will quickly fail, and there are natural dangers that are enough to make people daunting.

Meng Wu has already made preparations to defend this place to the death. He intends to use the 100,000 coalition troops inside for him for a month or two, starving them to death.

So in Taniguchi, he only left 30,000 people to defend against the coalition forces of the two countries who jumped over the wall.

The remaining 100,000 Qin troops were all placed on these three lines of defense by him. Relying on the established defense facilities, he planned to block the 100,000 Zhao troops layer by layer and drag them to death here.

As for going out to fight outside the city, don't be kidding. Although Meng Wu is confident, he is also a top-notch general in the world, but he doesn't have the confidence to fight against a military god like Li Mu.

Not to mention that the number of the Qin army is not as large as the reinforcements that came, but that the number of the two sides is equal, and Li Mu, who is better at field mobile warfare, is many times superior to Meng Wu in terms of field tactical command.

So Mengwu has made up his mind to stick to it. No matter what, he will be nailed here, holding back the footsteps of Zhao Wei and Zhao Wei. Even if all the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops are dead, it will be worth it.

In the eyes of the people of the world at that time, the power that really threatened Qin was divided into three parts.

Part of it is the frontal attack on the Qin army headed by Yu Guo. Part of it is the state of Chu in the south, which has a vast land and abundant resources, and has a deep-rooted hatred with this state of Qin. The other part is Zhao Wei, which ravaged the Central Plains and the north and annexed the most territory of Qin State.

Now that these two most active countries can be destroyed, they will be exhausted abruptly, and they will no longer be able to provide any assistance to the coalition forces. For Qin, that will be very gratifying news.

Time passed quickly, and Mengwu's defense line had just been deployed. During this period, the counterattack of the coalition forces of Zhao and Wei was repelled, and they were forced back into the canyon. However, in less than a month, the reinforcements of Zhao and Wei had already Approaching to the mountains where Meng Wu is located.

The war is about to break out. Whether it is for the survival of their own country or for the safety of their king, it is impossible for both sides to take a step back. Death will become normal at this moment.

...

At the same time, the two countries of Zhao and Wei in the north were severely blocked by the Qin State, and their strength suddenly weakened, and they were no longer able to attack.

Then Chu State, who was in charge of the southern front and attacked Qin State alone, naturally suffered from Qin State's more fierce resistance and counterattack.

This time, the leader of the southern army was Wang Ben, the son of the military god Wang Jian, who was also a first-class general of Qin.

His opponent was the only famous general of Chu, and one of the most active generals in the late Warring States period, the extremely arrogant head of the Xiang clan, known as the strongest clan in Chu, Xiang Yan.

In terms of strength at the commander-in-chief level, Wang Ben and Xiang Yan can be said to be evenly matched. Next, they will compete in terms of their respective strengths, that is, the logistics and military strength of both parties.

First of all, due to the different strategies of the Qin State, they planned to break through from the center, that is, to defeat the leader of the entire alliance in one fell swoop, the Han Yanyu Allied Forces headed by Yu Guo.

From Qin's point of view, as long as this main force can be defeated and the leader of the alliance defeated, then the remaining states of Zhao, Wei, and Chu are nothing but a group of mobs who are difficult to care about, and can be easily broken separately.

Therefore, the main force of the Qin State is concentrated on the Eastern Front, which is opposite to Zhong Yu.

In the central battlefield, the Qin army has a full 450,000 people, and most of them are elite, because the old and weak from the forced conscripts are distributed to the north and south fronts.

On the southern front, Wang Ben commanded only 300,000 old and weak troops composed of old men and children in their teens or fifties.

Compared with it, the Chu State on the opposite side is much more beautiful. It is a strong army composed of young and middle-aged men in their 20s and 30s. And many of them have just experienced the battle between Nanyang and Nanjun before, and have extremely rich war experience.

With this kind of formidable strength, if it were to face head-to-head on the battlefield, Qin would definitely not be an opponent.

Therefore, Wang Ben adopted a roundabout tactic, constantly setting up obstacles along the way, and defending the cities one by one. And from time to time, some elites were called out to carry out some partial surprise counterattacks, which caused great trouble to Chu's attack.
