Chapter 206 Wei State's Assault
The state of Chu has risen completely in the south, taking back the territory seized by the state of Qin again and again, and the states of Wei and Zhao in the north are naturally not far behind.
Without the natural danger of Taihang Mountain, the defense strategy originally arranged by the Qin army completely failed, and the situation in Shangdang County became precarious.
There are only about 100,000 defenders in Shangdang County, which originally had natural dangers, so naturally there is no need to be afraid of Zhao Guo's hundreds of thousands of troops.
But now, Zhao Guo has crossed the Taihang Mountains, regained Taiyuan County in the north of Shangdang County, took advantage of the situation from the north, and invaded the hinterland of Shangdang Army in one fell swoop.
This hit was like hitting a snake seven inches, hitting the seven inches of Shangdang County, which caught the defenders of Shangdang by surprise.
Zhao Guo has a full army of 250,000, and because Zhao Guo is located on the frontier, it often fights against the Huns and the Huns, and the people are brave. And because they competed with the six countries, especially with Qin, they fought countless times, and their fighting power was recognized by Qin and even everyone in the world.
The troops drawn from these common people are naturally extremely elite, brave and good at fighting.
Although the same is true of the Qin army, and they still have the advantage of defending the city, they are not as numerous as the Zhao army. Slowly under the attack of Zhao's crowd tactics, they lost the city one after another, and slowly retreated to the south of Shangdang. , which is the famous Changping Persistence.
Changping, this is a place that Zhao Guo hates and feels ashamed of.
Here, Zhao Guo lost 400,000 young and strong people, and gradually weakened from the original first-class power to the bottom of the existence.
Now this place is guarded by the remaining 30,000 remnants of the Qin State. How can Zhao State not feel the thrill of revenge? Looking at these remnants of Qin State is like looking at the same helpless defeated army of Zhao State.
With a burst of anger, under Zhao Wang's urging, Zhao Jun rushed forward, and completely wiped out these Qin troops in more than ten days, and left no one alive.
However, the Qin army was completely wiped out, but the number of Zhao troops wiped out in their temporary counterattack and the previous defense battle was also extremely impressive.
According to Zhao Guo's subsequent estimates, 150,000 of the 250,000 troops were completely buried in the land of Shangdang County. It can be said that every inch of mountains and rivers is an inch of blood. The hundreds of miles of land in Shangdang County were exchanged for the lives of Zhao Guo's army. of.
At this moment, the most prosperous and glorious territory in the history of the Zhao Kingdom has basically been recovered, except for Yunzhong County, which is occupied by the Huns and is located in the northernmost part of the country. Everything else has been restored.
As for Zhao Guo, his territory has also more than doubled, and he has once again become a big country with a territory spanning three thousand miles, regaining his majestic form.
And because Zhao Jun had just regained the lost ground, Zhao Jun was trained in the war, regained his energy, and got a large number of veterans, and the combat effectiveness of Zhao Guo's army reached its peak again.
Now the Zhao Kingdom is working together from top to bottom, and the nobles are also generous, digging out some of the funds they usually use for pleasure, and helping their monarch once again form an army of 400,000 people.
King Zhao is now full of confidence. He believes that with this army, he dares to compete with any country in the world for the position of the world's hegemony again, even if it is Qin State or Yu State.
Zhao State, which has fewer troops than Wei State, has such power. As a further Wei State, it will naturally not be at a disadvantage.
Although half of the land in Hanoi County was originally in South Korea, they would not help Wei Guo to occupy Hanoi County, but even without these, Wei Guo has an army of 300,000, which is enough to crush all the way.
Under the fierce offensive of the 300,000 army, Hanoi County held on for more than a month, and soon all the city defenses were broken and fell into the hands of the State of Wei.
However, Wei Guo was not much better. After all, Hanoi had his 100,000 defenders. Wei Guo paid a huge price for taking him down. The death toll of the army alone was more than 150,000.
The remaining 50,000 people were all wounded, unable to fight, and had to retreat to the rear to recuperate.
That is to say, to win Hanoi County, Wei Guo's original 300,000 army has already scrapped 200,000 of him, leaving only 100,000 remnants.
Because of the heavy casualties, the morale of these 100,000 people began to decline. Although they were not completely unbearable, it was naturally impossible to attack the remaining counties and counties of the Qin State. Stationed, slowly recovering their combat effectiveness.
However, Wei State has a vast land and rich resources, and the land it occupies is also a well-populated land in the Central Plains. Naturally, because of the deaths and injuries of these 200,000 troops, the vitality will not be seriously injured, like Zhao State.
The remaining 100,000 veterans can't be used if they can't be used, and they just happened to be stationed in the newly recovered Hanoi County to suppress those with ulterior motives.
After all, Hanoi County is not the original place of Wei State, it belongs to the newly occupied land. Wei State has no ruling foundation there, even worse than Qin State, and there is no army to guard it. It really cannot be called Hanoi County. Which family name?
Although he lost 300,000 troops that could be used to fight and attack at once, Wei's offensive did not stop there.
Instead, under the dispatch of King Wei, a steady stream of reinforcements were quickly sent to Hanoi County, and another army of about 20 people was established again.
This army had just been formed for less than a month, and the king of Wei just let them get used to it a little bit, and after getting a general understanding, he sent them to Hedong County of Qin State, which was the original capital of Wei State, Anyi City.
Hedong County is next to Neishi County of Qin State, and less than a few hundred miles away from Xianyang, the capital of Qin State. If Hedong County is taken away, then the capital of Qin State will become dangerous, and the whole country will be in turmoil.
Although there is still a so-called Hangu Pass in the east to block the Kwantung coalition forces, as long as a large army is stationed, it will be difficult for the six countries to attack Xianyang due to the natural danger of Hangu Pass.
But if this is really done, Qin will be completely locked in Hangu Pass again, and if it wants to go east to the six countries again, it will have to imitate what they have done before, which will cost countless soldiers and countless time , Slowly take it back bit by bit.
How could such a possible event be accepted by the now ambitious King Qin Yingzheng!
Qin State started another round of emergency mobilization. This time, it was the survivors of the Six Kingdoms that the King of Qin didn't trust. They were driven to a corner, and Ying Zheng couldn't control so much.
From the remaining counties and counties under the rule of the Qin State that had lost their land in the Six Kingdoms, 100,000 people were urgently recruited and sent to Hedong County to join the 50,000 defenders in Hedong County to jointly resist Wei Guo. The attack of 200,000 troops.
