044 Qin State Crisis
Yan State exchanged ten cities for Qin State to withdraw troops, but it is a pity that Ying Yiren's happiness was not maintained for even three days.
King Zhao, who didn't know where to get the news, found a reason to trick Jing Ji into going to Handan, and then threw the five flowers directly to the border of Qin and Zhao, so that the 50,000 Qin troops who stayed in the territory of Yan fell into a situation where the dragons were leaderless.
What Ying Yiren didn't expect was that Yan actually ceased war with Zhao State later, and the ten cities promised to Qin State before were handed over to Zhao State, and then Zhao State began to besiege the 50,000 Qin troops who were still in Yan State.
After poor Jing Ji was inexplicably tied up and thrown to the Qin-Zhao border, before he came to his senses, he was directly accused by LΓΌ Buwei of leaking military aircraft and losing the country's body, and his head was cut off before he arrived in Xianyang.
Immediately after that, the embarrassed and angry Ying Yiren immediately ordered Fan Yuzhi to be the vanguard and lead the 100,000 heavy troops on the Qin-Zhao border to take the lead in attacking Zhao, and then ordered Meng Fu to be the main general, and requisitioned and adjusted all the troops in the northeast of Qin, with a full 200,000, to launch a comprehensive attack on Zhao from two directions.
A full-scale war between Qin and Zhao began.
Countless grain and grass materials were continuously sent to the front line from all over the Qin State, and this was not the end, and Ying Yiren also ordered Wang Su to draw 100,000 people from all over the south to form a reserve and prepare for an attack at any time.
Li Ling stayed in the palace of the Qin Dynasty and witnessed the full-scale launch of the Qin war machine for the first time.
Gathering 200,000 troops in the previous three days, and then destroying the Eastern Zhou, but also losing more than 100,000 troops, Li Ling originally thought that this would definitely hurt the vitality of the Qin State, but this time, Li Ling really saw the horror of the Qin State.
The 400,000 army was assembled and launched a full-scale attack on the Zhao State, while at the same time, the Qin State still maintained a standing army of 200,000 on the Qin-Chu border, and there were also 100,000 troops on the Qin-Han border and Sanchuan County ready to enter the battlefield at any time.
Although it was a hasty response, as Ying Yiren said before, the main forces of Zhao were all in the territory of Yan State, so under the leadership of Meng Fu, the Qin army was unstoppable, and in just three months, it captured more than 20 cities such as Yuci, Xincheng, and Wolf Meng, and was able to take a city every four days on average.
As time passed, the main force of the Zhao army was thrown into the battlefield under the leadership of Lian Po and Li Mu, and the speed of Meng's attack slowed down, but it still maintained the terrifying efficiency of taking a city every ten days.
Finally, after successively defeating 37 cities of the Zhao State, Meng's army stopped, and the logistics of the Qin army were a little unbearable.
How could the Ying Yiren, who had already gone crazy, let his achievements stop at the thirty-seven cities of Zhao State?
After the Qin-Zhao front was stabilized, the main force of the Qin army was handed over to Fan Yuzhi to maintain the defensive line, while Meng Fu took the place of Wang Su, commanding 100,000 reserves to attack Wei, and Wang Su led the 100,000 troops of Sanchuan County and the Qin-Han border to launch a devastating campaign against the Shangdang region.
Looking at the battle reports that were sent every few days, Li Ling felt in a trance as if the Ying Yiren at this moment was not the Ying Yiren in history, but the first emperor Ying Zheng who ruled the world!
However, just when everything was going smoothly, and even Li Ling sighed at the strength of the Qin State, a figure who had been ignored by almost everyone changed everything.
Xinling Jun Wei Wuji suddenly returned to Wei, and Wei Yu directly gave Wei Wuji the position of prime minister, and at the same time served as a general, commanding all the soldiers and horses of Wei.
At this point, even if Li Ling knew that Wei Wuji had returned to the Wei State, he didn't take it to heart, after all, even the Zhao State had already been beaten so badly by the Qin State, what could he Wei Wuji do when he returned to the Wei State now?
But who would have thought that Wei Wuji raised his arms and shouted, and he immediately got the response of several countries, and in just a few days, the five-nation alliance of Zhao, Wei, Chu, Han and Yan was announced.
And this time, the five-nation alliance is no longer as hard as before, and under Wei Wuji's command, almost all countries are elite.
By the time the elite of the five countries was assembled, the Qin State had actually prepared a countermeasure, taking a defensive position on all fronts, and ready to engage in battle at any time.
In particular, the main force of the 300,000 Qin army in the hands of Fan Yuzhi was all assembled in Lutai, ready to start a decisive battle with the five-nation alliance at any time.
It can be said that the Qin army has made foolproof preparations as much as possible, but who would have thought that the 800,000 allied forces of the Five Kingdoms did not start a duel with the main force of the Qin army north of the Yellow River, but instead appeared south of the Yellow River and directly attacked the 100,000 army of Mengfu who had already entered Gongcheng.
100,000 against 800,000, and this 800,000 army is still the elite of the Five Kingdoms under the leadership of Wei Wuji, and the result can be imagined.
At the same time, the 300,000 troops in the hands of Fan Yuzhi were firmly nailed to the north bank of the Yellow River by the 100,000 horses divided by Wei Wuji, and they were unable to cross the river after many days of hard fighting.
"Li Ling! Where's your crossbow? Hurry up and take it out! β
Recruiting troops and transferring food everywhere, the front line almost foresaw that there would definitely be a rout next, and Ying Yiren had thought of all the ways he could think of, but the current Qin State really couldn't come up with a surplus army to reinforce Meng Fu.
The only remaining 200,000 troops in his hands are all on the border of Chu, and Chu is a member of the Five-Nation Alliance this time, so these 200,000 troops can't move at all.
Finally, Ying Yiren remembered Li Ling, and remembered the twelve 'heavy crossbows' that had shown their might in Gaocheng.
"Your Majesty, those are not called heavy crossbows, they are anti-aircraft machine guns, but I only have those twelve machine guns, all of which are in the camp outside the city, the key is that even if you pull to the front line, it will be a drop in the bucket, the five-nation alliance army has a full 800,000, not to mention, even if it works, I have to have bullets, I don't have bullets in my hands at all, I really have no way."
"The widow doesn't care so much about you, now give the widow what kind of bullet to get out, the widow gives you the craftsmen of the whole Xianyang City to send you, you must get the bullet out for me, now that my Qin country is winning or losing in one move, you must help the widow as the crown prince!"
"I really can't help it, the method of forging bullets has long been lost, even if the king gives me more craftsmen, I can't make bullets."
The Qin State has indeed reached a crisis juncture, but the Qin State has a natural advantage, that is, the Hangu Pass, as long as the Hangu Pass is held, the country will not be destroyed.
Li Ling knew this very well, so Li Ling would not take out even one more bullet no matter what, he couldn't take it out!
Today's Qin army, there are almost no people who really obey their orders, but there are many people in Xianyang City who want to put themselves to death, Li Ling doesn't want to turn these guns and ammunition into his own talismans.
"You have a way! You must have a way! I'll give you a day, if you can take out the bullet for the widow, the widow will give you the title of marquis, if you can't take it out, I will cut you in half! β
Ying Yiren's eyes were red, and he was completely crazy.
After being wronged for so many years, he finally came out of it, became the king of Qin and became the emperor, and when he saw that he was about to create a great cause that the previous Qin kings had not created, he suddenly fell into a state of failure, and the whole person was crazy.
