"My king's 100,000 troops were all wiped out?" The battle report from the front line was sent back to Zhao State, and the entire Zhao State court was shocked by it.
"How could we, one hundred thousand elites, be destroyed so easily?" Fei Jian, Prime Minister of Zhao State, couldn't believe it. "Without these one hundred thousand troops, neighboring countries would definitely invade Zhao State!"
All the ministers couldn't understand: "Xinnan really deserved death. One hundred thousand elites were buried like this!"
"Xinnan has been loyal, and the destruction of the one hundred thousand army is a fact." Zhao Yun sighed secretly in her heart, she did not doubt Xinnan.
Because in so many simulations, Xinnan only betrayed once, and that time it was Han Mengshu who used a divorce plan to make her suspicious of Xinnan, which led to Xinnan's betrayal.
In terms of his ability to march and fight, Xinnan is also a first-tier general of the Seven Kingdoms. Ultimately, the reason why he lost so badly this time was because his opponent was Zhang Beichen, and this time he had new weapons that were more powerful than iron weapons and horse gear.
Weapons, failure is inevitable.
"Everyone, our Zhao country is empty at this time. Think about how to deal with the surrounding countries?" Zhao Yun said.
At the moment, South Korea is unable to continue attacking Zhao State, but the neighboring Yan State, Qi State, Xiongnu, and even Zhongshan State and Song State may take the opportunity to invade Zhao State's land.
…
Zhang Beichen led the army back to support. He sent 20,000 soldiers to support Qin's defense line, while he led his men to support the Wei army's defense line.
Pang Ming adopted the strategy of besieging the city. Only more than two months had passed. There was still food left in the city and the city was still defended.
But Wei Yao was dissatisfied when she heard the battle report from the front line, "Isn't this Pang Ming quite arrogant? How could he be scared out of his wits by firearms! This seems to be Zhang Beichen's trick!"
Wei Yao knew Zhang Beichen very well. If Zhang Beichen really had that strength, let alone defending the city, he would have killed him long ago. Why should he wait for them to attack?
She immediately issued an order, ordering Pang Ming to attack immediately.
Pang Ming received the order and had no choice but to order the entire army to attack.
He originally thought that the Wei army would suffer heavy losses, but the siege went extremely smoothly. The enemy's artillery went silent after firing only a few shells.
When Pang Ming actually conquered this border city, he discovered that there were only two usable cannons in the entire city!
Originally there were only four, but two of them were damaged due to the high frequency of firing in the previous war!
After hearing the news, Pang Ming was furious: "This general was actually confused. The Korean army was really just bluffing!"
"Send the order and continue the attack. This time I will capture Xinzheng in one fell swoop and avenge the previous humiliation!"
"yes!"
[The Wei army attacked all the way and captured three cities in a row.]
At this time, Zhang Beichen finally arrived with reinforcements.
The Wei army finally fought against the real main force of the Korean army.
"I, the military soldier of Wei, am invincible in the world, kill him!" Pang Ming was in high spirits after conquering three cities in a row, and the morale of the Wei army was also high.
The soldiers of Wei used a neat battle formation to meet the enemy.
The first thing to greet them was the bombardment of artillery and fire bombs.
The overall strength of the Wei soldiers was stronger. They were not defeated in one strike like the Zhao infantry, but they also suffered considerable damage.
"Firegun, attack!" The infantry and cavalry under Zhang Beichen fired together.
At the fifth level of cultivation, one can be called an elite soldier. At this level, if one uses a crossbow, the attack distance can be increased to a hundred steps away!
But even elite soldiers cannot fire one arrow per second!
The manufacturing cost of arrows is higher than that of firecracker ammunition!
After the volley of fire cannons was fired, many Wei troops fell to the ground and were hit. Just to get close to the enemy, the Wei troops lost many people.
By the time the two sides really started fighting, the Wei army no longer had much advantage.
The Han army's melee strength was indeed inferior to that of the Wei army, and coupled with its numerical disadvantage, under the command of Zhang Beichen, they were barely able to draw a tie with the opponent.
[In the next few months, you fought against the Wei army several times. Both sides had their own victories and defeats. Although the Wei army was strong, it began to decline because it was in South Korea and had poor supplies. 】
"If this continues, our army will inevitably be slowly exhausted by the enemy due to lack of supplies!" Pang Ming looked at the enemy camp unwillingly. This Beichen is really a difficult opponent.
"Retreat! This general cannot be like Xinnan and lose all the elites of Wei State here!"
【Pang Ming had no choice but to retreat.】
[At this time, the Qin army had captured two cities of Zhao State. When the King of Qin heard that Zhao State was defeated and Wei State retreated, he also stopped attacking and defended the cities. 】
…
"Zhang Qing, you are so powerful. You actually defeated the troops of the Three Kingdoms and destroyed Zhao's 100,000-strong army!" Han Mengshu looked at Zhang Beichen with admiration, "No one thought that we, South Korea, could still have such strength!"
"Your Majesty, the enemy has retreated. I think they will not attack again within three to five years." Zhang Beichen looked at Han Mengshu and asked, "How are you going to reward me, Your Majesty?"
Han Mengshu deliberately made a serious face and said: "The reward can only be given to you by me. How can you ask for it?"
Zhang Beichen didn't want to spoil her, so he slapped her on the butt with his backhand, "If you don't spank her for a few days, I'll go to the house and uncover the tiles!"
"Ah... Zhang Qing, you! You are so rude to me!"
[The favorability between Zhang Beichen and Han Mengshu has already reached the level of love, so naturally everything goes smoothly. 】
…
"This attack on South Korea is fruitless. South Korea's rise is inevitable." After the Qin army retreated, Ying Yiren was thinking about the strategy for this game.
She doesn't want to touch South Korea for the time being, and needs to quickly strengthen Qin.
[You ordered the imitation of firearms seized from the Korean army.]
Like her, Wei Yao is doing the same thing.
However, these firearms are not that easy to imitate. Craftsmen from all over the world can make their general shapes, but when it comes to key performance such as precision and range, it is naturally difficult for them to imitate them to a high degree because they do not know the principles of weapons.
…
【Three years later.】
South Korea continues to develop firearms.
At this time, various countries have begun to attack the surrounding small countries.
There is only one big country facing invasion from surrounding countries.
[The King of Qi saw that the State of Zhao was empty and ordered General Tian E to lead an army of 200,000 to attack the State of Zhao.]
[The State of Yan sent 100,000 troops to attack the State of Zhao.]
[The King of Zhongshan responded to the call of the King of Qi and conscripted 50,000 troops to attack the State of Zhao.]
[The Huns invaded the border of Zhao State.]
Because of the great defeat three years ago, Zhao State has not yet recovered its strength.
Now facing hundreds of thousands of troops, the crisis of national annihilation is just around the corner.
King Zhao had no choice but to ask for help from the surrounding countries.
…
Han Mengshu also received a letter from King Zhao asking for help.
A choice appeared before her.
【Free aid to the State of Zhao and send a large army to support the State of Zhao.】
[Assistance to the State of Zhao for a fee, and take the opportunity to ask for the city from the State of Zhao.]
[Refuse to aid Zhao Guo and sit on the sidelines.]
[Refused to aid Zhao State and sent troops to attack Zhao State.]
Han Mengshu thought to himself that what South Korea lacks most now is land area. With South Korea's strength, aiding Zhao will also cause a lot of losses, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
It is better to take the opportunity to occupy Zhao's land to make up for South Korea's shortcomings.
[You decided to send troops to conquer Zhao State. You ordered Baoying to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Zhao State. 】
【The State of Zhao is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the King of Zhao recruited 300,000 troops across the country to meet the enemy.】
[In the first year of the war, Zhao lost several cities and retained most of its territory.]
[In the second year of the war, General Tian E of Qi used a trick to ambush the generals of Zhao. Zhao's main force of 100,000 men was completely wiped out, and Zhao lost a lot of territory. 】
The strength of Qi State has never been weak. If it weren't for the constant competition for the throne within Qi State, several countries around Qi State would be a huge threat.
[In the third year of the war, the situation of Zhao State further deteriorated. After losing its main force, all Zhao armies were retreating steadily. 】
[In the fourth year of the war, the Qi army attacked the capital of Zhao, and King Zhao personally led the troops to defend the city.]
[After King Zhao defended the city for six months, he ran out of ammunition and food. King Zhao drank poisonous wine and died, and the State of Zhao was destroyed. The State of Qi occupied nearly half of the territory of the State of Zhao, the State of Yan occupied more than ten cities of the State of Zhao, and the Huns plundered the State of Zhao.
In the north, South Korea occupies a small half of Zhao’s territory.]
…
"I didn't expect that the first person to go offline this time was King Zhao." Han Mengshu was quite emotional. Ever since Zhang Beichen helped Zhao Yun consolidate power and train cavalry, Zhao Yun had been a strong contender for the throne of the emperor in several simulations.
This time, she became the first queen to go offline. In the final analysis, it was because she didn't know that Zhang Beichen still had firearms as a trump card, and was able to defeat her light cavalry.
…
After the fall of Zhao State, the wars between the big countries ceased for a few years, and the wars of annexation of small countries began.
[The State of Wei sent troops to conquer Bashu. After several years, they finally conquered Bashu.]
[The Yan State and the Xiongnu attacked from both sides and destroyed Donghu, and the remnants of Donghu fled to the far north.]
Zhang Beichen also specifically inquired about the battle situation in Donghu.
When he learned that the Wuhuan tribe's entire army was destroyed and everyone died in the battle, he couldn't help but feel regretful. It seemed that he would not be able to see Hao Ziyi this time.
Compared with other queens, although Hao Ziyi is not as powerful as them, she is the most well-behaved one.
In the last simulation, no matter when Zhang Beichen came home, Hao Ziyi was always waiting for him at home.
【Zhongshan Kingdom was annexed by South Korea.】
【Song, Wei, Lu and other countries perished one after another.】
[The king of Chu personally conquered the country of Yue in two years.]
…
Qin State, Ying Yiren is in a very difficult situation.
Up to now, the simulation has been carried out for almost twenty years.
Normally, the Qin State should have conquered all the surrounding countries, but the result was that she only conquered the small Rongdi tribes around it, but not the fertile Yiqu State.
Because in this game, Wei Yao deliberately sent troops to support Yiqu State in order to suppress Qin State, so that Qin State failed to capture Yiqu State several times.
Looking at Qin alone, Qin’s national power has become several times stronger!
But other opponents are getting stronger faster. If they can't keep up with their speed, Ying Yiren is worried that she will be offline next.
"We can only take a risky move." Ying Yiren decided to send troops to attack the Monan Palace of the Xiongnu.
Generally speaking, the Central Plains Kingdom would not attack the Xiongnu before they were unified. Because it was of little use to capture the grasslands, not only would a large number of troops be spent guarding them, but little food would be obtained.
The reason why the Yingyi people decided to fight against the Monan Zuo Evil King was mainly to control the Hexi Corridor. Because of many simulations, all countries already have their own industries, and they all know that there are many benefits to trade with the Western Regions.
Therefore, if it can control the Hexi Corridor, Qin will have an additional economic lifeline and can control the Western Region in advance to enhance its strength.
However, this intention cannot be discovered by other countries, otherwise it will be attacked from both sides and Qin will be in danger of destruction.
[You asked General Ying to defend Wei fiercely, and secretly ordered the new general Ying Ge to lead tens of thousands of black-armored troops to raid the Monan Palace.]
At this time, Monan Royal Court.
King Zuoxie didn't pay much attention to Qin.
Before, he would have thought about going to the Qin State to plunder one or two things. As the Qin State became stronger and returned without success many times, he gave up this idea. At this time, he was busy with the newly rising Shan Yu in Mobei.
They fought against each other in Thailand and competed for the position of the Great Chanyu.
[The Qin army's raid was extremely smooth, but King Zuo Xie's main force was not in the royal court. Ying Ge led the army to fight against Hu Yanxiao who was guarding the royal court. He saw Huyan Xiao killed and captured the royal court.】
This should have been good news. The Qin State would soon be able to control the Hexi Corridor, but what Ying Yiren was most worried about still happened.
[Yiqu State learned about the emptiness inside Qin State through spies, and took the opportunity to launch an attack.]
[The King of Wei ordered Gongsun Yan to lead an army of 300,000 to attack Qin.]
Ying Yiren hurriedly mobilized troops to respond and asked other queens for help.
[King Yan rejected your request for help.]
[The King of Qi rejected your request for help.]
[The King of Chu refused your rescue.]
Han Mengshu wanted to get a share of the pie, but at this time, another change occurred in the world situation.
[The King of Qi saw that Wei was attacking Qin and had no time to take care of Yan. Qi took the opportunity to send 300,000 troops to attack Yan. 】
Han Mengshu had four choices, which were to attack or aid Qin or Yan.
"Fight the Yan State." She made the decision. The people of the Qin State are brave and good at fighting, and it will cost a lot to attack the Qin State. The most important thing is that the land of the Qin State is relatively barren, and there is not much benefit from conquering it. Moreover, with the Wei army here, the Korean army will also
You can't get much of a bargain.
There are relatively more benefits to defeating Yan State.
[You appoint Zhang Beichen as general, Bao Ying as deputy general, lead 200,000 troops, and set out to conquer Yan.]
At this time, King Chu was still practicing in seclusion...
[The Ying Yi people recruited 300,000 troops from all over the country, and the imperial commander personally led the troops, barely blocking the offensives of Wei and Yiqu.]
If it had continued to guard, Qin would have been able to survive this crisis of annihilation.
But things are unpredictable. King Zuo Xie heard the news that his lair was being attacked. He was furious and felt helpless, so he surrendered to Maotai.
[Maotai became the Great Chanyu of the Huns. In order to avenge Zuoxie King and regain his territory, Maotai led his fierce cavalry to attack Qin. 】
The Ying Yi people could have waited for Ying Ge to lead his army to come back for reinforcements, but now the rear was blocked by the Xiongnu leaders. They were attacked from both sides and their defense was instantly broken.
[The Qin army struggled to resist, but was still defeated by other countries. The city fell, and Qin lost a lot of land.]
[The Wei army and the Yiqu army merged and fought with the Qin army in Yueyang City. Qin King Ying Yi took the lead, but was still outnumbered and died on the battlefield. Most of the rest of the Qin army died in the battle. The Qin State was destroyed.]
[After the fall of Qin, Yingge, who was blocked by the Xiongnu, heard the news and knew that there was no hope of returning to his country, so he led his soldiers to flee to the Western Regions.]
[The King of Wei was unwilling to share the land of Qin with King Yiqu, so he secretly ordered Gongsun Yan to attack the Yiqu army. The Yiqu army suffered heavy losses. At the same time, another Wei army appeared in Yiqu territory, led by Pang Ming.
At the same time, the Wei army conquered Yiqu State.]
