In the battle of Xinqicheng, the Wu army suffered 10,000 casualties, and then in the battle with the 90,000 Three Kingdoms Alliance, the Wu army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the lightning rushed to attack the 50,000 Chu border army, with 10,000 casualties, and the 100,000 Chu army rushed to help, killing more than half of the enemy, and the Wu army suffered more than 10,000 casualties again.

After several major battles, the 150,000 armed army was directly reduced to 100,000, but after being supplemented by these 80,000 soldiers, the number of the armed army rose instead of declining, and climbed to the scale of 180,000.

Among them, the 12,000 soldiers of the military battalion who have been the main vanguard of the sharp knife troops in several major battles have lost more than 4,000 elite soldiers of the military battalions. The 1,500 cavalry of the Fengwu Battalion lost more than half, and only more than 700 horsemen remained.

However, after four major battles and nearly 200,000 enemies, a considerable number of the remaining 100,000 armed troops have met the conditions for transferring to the elite soldiers of the Ten Wars.

And Qin Wu occupied the whole of Korea, and wielded a butcher's knife for the elites of the original ruling class, and there was no shortage of strategic resources such as weapons, equipment and high-quality war horses. After completing the arming of 80,000 new soldiers, Qin Wu immediately began to arm and train elite soldiers.

After determining the number of soldiers who met the conditions of elite soldiers in the ten battles, and confirming the number of high-quality weapons, equipment, and high-quality war horses, Qin Wu began to formulate a plan to expand the armed army.

First of all, the 8,000-strong soldiers of the ground martial arts battalion were directly expanded to 20,000. At the same time, Qin Wu also changed the equipment of the soldiers of the Diwu Battalion, adding short crossbows and thirty crossbow arrows on the basis of the original one Changge and five trumpet throwing javelins.

This is also the reason why Qin Wu's army has always been fighting, and it is still a big battle, and at the same time, it has won many battles and harvested countless resources, and there is no shortage of people and equipment at all. From now on, the Ground Warrior not only retains his original melee ability, but also develops a sharp medium-range strike that will be quite an egg cone for his enemies.

Secondly, the cavalry of the Fengwu Battalion, which had more than 700 people, was expanded to 3,000 people, and the ordinary cavalry team, which was only more than 1,000 people, was also increased to 5,000 cavalry this time.

3,000 elite cavalry, 5,000 general cavalry, a total of 8,000 cavalry, since then the armed army can be regarded as a formed cavalry team.

In the end, the chariot troops that performed sharply on the plain battlefield, Qin Wu also expanded to four hundred times, and this number is still increasing. After all, Qin Wu occupied such a large area of the entire South Korea, plundered all the rich households in the country, and controlled all the workshops by violent means.

Under such high-pressure measures, South Korea's overall manufacturing capacity, also known as the so-called GDP, will certainly decline, but most of all the national strength is concentrated in the military, and the power that bursts out in a short period of time is amazing.

In game terms, this is the "Rioter". Sacrificing long-term development benefits in exchange for short-term military strength.

Indeed, in just five days, before the arrival of a new wave of 100,000 Chu troops, the strength of the Wu army had indeed developed tremendously.

The final result was that the Chu [***] team, which had received reinforcements again, did not dare to engage the Wu army at all. Not to mention that the number of the Chu army is not as large as the Wu army, even if there are 300,000 Chu troops who are overwhelming at this time, but they have not been able to overwhelm the generals of Qin Wu and Xiang Yu, and the Chu State does not dare to rush to send troops.

What's more, at this time, the state of Chu was experiencing the defeat of the anti-Qin alliance, the huge wound of the annihilation of the 300,000 Chu army, plus the elimination of 50,000 border troops and the 50,000 Chu army that rushed to help, the 400,000 Chu army was gone, and the son Xiong Fang and the general Xiang Yan, the pillars of the country, were still in the hands of Qin Wu, so it was not the Chu State that had the advantage now, but Qin Wu.

The strength of the state of Chu is getting smaller and smaller, while Qin Wu has been fighting since his debut, and the troops in his hands are fighting more and more, the equipment is getting better and better, and the troops are getting more and more elite.

Whether the current 180,000 armed forces and the Chu State after losing 400,000 mobile troops can win the war, and how many self-defending troops can be left after winning the war, has become a heavy problem facing the ruling class of the Chu State at present.

"Great King, Qin Wu has become the climate, with the strength of my Chu State, it is not difficult to destroy it, but if you want to destroy Qin Wu's martial army without damaging the vitality, it will be very difficult. Therefore, the top priority is to redeem Gongzi Fang and General Xiang Yan first, and then secretly look for an opportunity to take advantage of Qin Wu's occupation of Han and his tyrannical and unkind behavior, send assassins to infiltrate the enemy city, assassinate Qin Wu and the generals of the Wu army, or wait for the current chaotic war to end, and cooperate with the vassal states that hate Qin Wu after the war to encircle and suppress the Wu army together. ”

In the main hall of the palace of Chu State, Qu Yuan admonished the king of Chu Zhuang.

"Hanging in the air, wouldn't this give Qin Wu time to consolidate his power and develop his strength?"

There was a deathly silence in the main hall, and the civil and military officials standing solemnly could only make eye contact with each other, and after a long silence, King Chuzhuang slowly spoke.

"Twenty-five cities and forty-seven counties in South Korea, generations of Han kings have been in business for hundreds of years, and in a short period of time, Qin Wu can only scavenge the superficial wealth, but he can't receive the hearts of the people. It is easy to attack the city, but it is difficult to defend the city, and countless people are looking forward to the king of Han and the king waving their troops to attack Korea, and when the time comes, it will definitely create fighters for our army, and the foundation of the military army is unstable, and there is no need to be afraid. ”

"And now is the time when the armed army will win the great battle, the army will be expanded, the morale will be boiling, and the sharpness will be unstoppable. Without the containment of foreign enemies, the internal contradictions of the armed forces will naturally begin to emerge, and we only need to defend the territory and wait for the opportunity. ”

Facing the majestic King of Chuzhuang, the young Qu Yuan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Do you have any other opinions, ministers?"

After pondering for a while, King Chuzhuang raised his head and asked the civil and military officials in the main hall.

Naturally, the answer to him was a voice of harmony.

The current state of Chu is really not suitable for fighting hard with tough enemies, and the aristocratic class in Chu also feels a deep fear of Qin Wu's uprooting of the original ruling class.

If Qin Wu can be eliminated, it is naturally the best, and if it can't be eliminated, then guard the country, don't let Qin Wu in, and protect their existing interests, then it's okay.

Moreover, these nobles of Chu also know that after the defeat of the successive battles, the strength of the Chu State has dropped to a historical low, and they have killed Qin Wu hard, I am afraid that the front foot is going to be a wolf, and the back foot is a tiger.

The state of Chu was unwilling to fight hard with Qin Wu, and under the general trend, the state of Chu chose to hold on, and the 200,000 Chu army could not stand out on the border between Chu and Han.

After the 180,000 Wu troops were stationed in several cities on the border of Chu and Han, Qin Wu began to pay attention to the battles of Zhao and Zhongshan and the battle of Qi Yan, while muffling the development of the strength of the Wu army.
