The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

Under the hill, there is a plain more than twenty miles away.

At this time, the plain with a radius of hundreds of miles was divided into two pieces by the densely packed sea of ​​people.

The Allied Army and Qin State were clearly divided into two parts according to the different camps. The black sea waves of the Qin State and the red, blue and cyan flower seas of the coalition forces confront each other and are about to explode.

If you take a closer look, you can find that whether it is the Qin army or the coalition army, most of the faces of every soldier in the front row are full of tension, and there are little beads of sweat rolling on their foreheads. They are also a little afraid of this battle.

This is extremely abnormal and extremely unreasonable.

It's not about the coalition forces, it's about Qin. Since the rise of the Qin State, they have had great advantages in every battle with the Shandong countries. The soldiers of the Qin State are also famous for their fearlessness, courage and ability to fight.

This tradition has been going on for more than a hundred years.

It has to be said that people are surprised by the fear they found on the faces of soldiers of the Qin State until now.

However, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

After all, many of the current Qin army are ordinary people who have been forcibly conscripted. Even if they have war experience, what is forced is forced after all, and there is some resistance in their hearts.

Moreover, among the Qin army, there are also quite a few survivors of the six countries. They are not as loyal to Qin as imagined, and they are not as unfeeling to their homeland as imagined.

Of course, these are secondary, as long as the Qin army can maintain a winning posture and an overwhelming advantage over the six countries. They will put all this away, and instead, under the general trend of Qin, they will transform themselves from lambs to tigers and wolves, from fear of war to courage to fight.

However, the current state of Qin did not give them confidence as before. On the contrary, at the border between Han and Qin, they were severely stopped by the army on the opposite side, and even smashed into the sand.

Now the armies of the two sides have been confronting each other for more than two years, and the war did not start until more than a month ago.

This long-term depression has long made every soldier of the Qin Army or the Allied Army feel extremely dull in his heart, and his nerves are like taut strings, which can be broken at any time.

Don't underestimate the psychological impact of the day-to-day confrontation before the war on the soldiers.

You must know that every soldier, before going to the battlefield, goes to the battlefield with the feeling that he may die at any time.

How many days or ten days does this mood last? Even a month or two, that's nothing, it's within the tolerance of soldiers.

But if it lasted until he was an adult and lasted for a month, the soldier couldn't stand it anymore. Who could guarantee that he would be on guard every day, every month and every year, and keep his fear of death without going crazy.

Finally, they felt that the frantic confrontation was over, and the two armies began a decisive battle. Every day, soldiers held their breath and wanted to release their depressed mood on the battlefield.

But just after the battle, both sides felt extremely desperate.

Among them, Qin State in particular, they actually hold the psychology of contempt for the countries in Shandong. Even if they have been suppressed for a long time, they still have a certain psychological advantage.

They believed that under Qin's iron army, as long as the opposing army made a slight contact, it would not take long for it to tear apart like paper.

But Yuguo's army taught them a lesson.

Even when the first war started, the strength of Yuguo's army declined considerably due to the mixture of Huns. But the Huns are called the wolf clan, so they naturally have the bloodthirsty of wolves and their natural sensitivity to battle.

Although they are not as well-trained as the imperial army, and have the instinct for strict discipline to the bone, their bloodthirsty for killing is not inferior to the imperial army in the slightest.

Their drag on the combat power of the imperial army was not as great as imagined, especially the resistance in their hearts, under the leading charge of the imperial army, it gradually turned into adoring followers.

As soon as they fought, the Qin army, which was somewhat contemptuous in their hearts, suffered a big loss. In the end, they had to fight to lose both sides. Each of the 100,000 people on both sides could only return 10,000 to 20,000.

This battle and confrontation left a deep and terrifying impression in the hearts of their respective ordinary soldiers.

However, after the Han-Yan Allied Forces, their performance was very disappointing and unsatisfactory.

Not long after they entered the battlefield, because of their accustomed fear of the Qin army and their own not-so-firm will to fight, they were easily broken by the Qin army and quickly retreated.

If it weren't for the people with the sledgehammer who are still strong enough to support themselves on the battlefield, coupled with the support of the warlords behind and the bloodthirsty Huns in their bones, I am afraid that the start of the second decisive battle would not be the same. The coalition forces will suffer a crushing defeat.

But now, after nearly ten days of recuperation, the morale of the coalition forces has recovered, and because of the previous dispersion of the big hammer, the morale of the coalition generals and soldiers at the base made them a little eager for battle stand up.

After all, for these people who are hungry and can't eat enough, the two hundred cattle and sheep and 100 jars of wine that Big Hammer and the others got is undoubtedly a huge temptation, which can make them pay for it. The lure of life.

For those generals, there is nothing more tempting than building achievements, getting promoted and making a fortune.

So for this battle, Zhong Yu is still looking forward to it. He believes that this battle, with the coalition forces that have been aroused to fight, still has something to watch.

This time, the number of coalition forces is not as large as when it was started. After all, 70,000 of the previous 200,000 people have already died, so only 130,000 coalition forces can play now.

As for the 50,000 elites of Yuguo, and the 15,000 recuperating soldiers who retired from the first decisive battle, they were regarded as elite trump cards, and they had no intention of fighting in the rear.

The number of the Qin army on the opposite side is still the remnants of the 200,000 Qin army last time.

The Qin army also suffered some losses last time, and more than 40,000 people died, so this time only about 160,000 were able to go to the battlefield. Compared with the coalition forces, it still has some advantages.

However, these advantages are not great. Compared with a battlefield with 100,000 people already on the battlefield, having an extra 20,000 to 30,000 people is not a big advantage.

However, Wang Jian, the commander-in-chief of the Qin army, is a fearsome opponent. He should make good use of these two to thirty thousand people to form a blow to the coalition forces.

Of course, it is not that there are no ruthless characters on the side of the coalition forces. The Yuguo on Zhong Yu's side has many outstanding generals and commanders, and outstanding military strategists like Cao Cao are among them.
