The battle of Qin to destroy Chu can be called the largest decisive battle in the Warring States Period.

The number of Qin troops mobilized to the front line was as high as five or six hundred thousand.

The logistical support provided for these Qin troops was three or four hundred thousand.

The reason why the number of people used is small is not because the Qin State cannot pull so many people, but because the railroad tracks of the Qin State have been laid out of Hangu Pass and laid all the way to Yingchuan County.

The roaring train runs day and night, and it is easy to transport millions of catties of materials to Yingchuan County, this kind of terrifying transportation capacity to the extreme, which is unimaginable to people in this era.

The people mobilized by the Qin army used four-wheeled carriages to send supplies from Yingchuan County to the front line.

The one who served as the chief general of the Qin army was still the famous Wang Qian.

Different from history, this time Wang Jian did not use the delaying strategy to drag the Chu State to death, but chose a direct head-to-head showdown.

What prompted him to make changes was that on the one hand, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army had been greatly improved, such as the comprehensive popularization of high-quality iron weapons and armor, such as a powerful cavalry group, such as the invincible Qin King cannon, and so on.

On the other hand, it is because of the logistical supply problems that give him a headache, which has been greatly alleviated.

The grain, grass and cloth produced in Guanzhong Shudi, as well as various other military materials, can be used to the front line at a jaw-dropping speed, with such a powerful army and such an explosive supply capacity, of course, it is necessary to fight a decisive battle.

The one who fought against Wang Jian was Xiang Yan, a famous general of the Chu State.

The state of Chu is different from other countries, this country is not so much a country as a big alliance because of its large tribes and vast territory.

The king of Chu is the strongest in this alliance, and the nobles under his command also have their own territories and armies, which can be regarded as semi-independent kingdoms.

This is still the benefit that Wu Qi won after changing the law.

Before Wu Qi's reform, the nobles of Chu were all independent kingdoms.

The nobles of Chu State provide the king of Chu with various materials every year according to a certain proportion, including grain, grass, ordnance, cloth, special products and even beauties.

As for the army, whenever it is necessary to fight, the nobles and nobles in the Chu State must first decide whether they are willing to go to war, and if they are willing to go to war, they will bring the soldiers and horses of your own fiefdom to gather.

Nobles who were willing to go on the expedition were entitled to a share of the spoils.

If he was unwilling to go on the expedition, it was also according to the customary rules to provide the king with a certain number of soldiers and people.

This is the real state of the Chu State.

When the army of the Qin State came over, the whole of the Chu State knew that this was the real crisis of the destruction of the country at hand.

Therefore, almost all the nobles, big and small, gathered with their own soldiers, horses, people, equipment, military supplies, grain and grass, etc., to prepare to deal with the offensive of the Qin State.

After all, they also know very well that there are no eggs under the nest.

The Qin State used a county system, and there was no room for the nobles to survive. Even if they, the nobles of the Chu State, colluded with the Qin State to surrender, at most they would be spared death, but the fiefs and nobles that had been inherited for hundreds of years would inevitably be taken away.

For the nobles, this was an unbearable thing, so everyone's enthusiasm to resist the Qin army was very high.

The former king of Chu was deposed by the nobles because he had always groveled to the Qin state.

Later, Changping Jun rebelled, and the nobles immediately supported him as the new king of Chu.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the new king of Chu who has just arrived has no actual strength, so the nobles of Chu placed him in Shouchun City in the Huainan region, and they themselves elected Xiang Yan, who can fight habitually, as the main general to lead the general to resist the Qin army.

Because the anti-Qin enthusiasm of the nobles in various places was very high, the Chu State mobilized a behemoth with a total size of nearly 500,000 this time.

If you count the logistics people, its number is even higher than that of the Qin State.

In this era, Qin and Chu are absolutely unique in the world in being able to mobilize such a large-scale combat force.

What Roman legions, a legion is only a few thousand people.

Of course, whether it is the Qin army or the Chu army, the real elite is only a small part, most of them are cannon fodder soldiers, as well as a large number of prisoners Chengdan, sons-in-law craftsmen and so on. And the real people are mainly responsible for logistics and transportation.

That's right, in this era, there is no future for being a son-in-law, not only to be cannon fodder in war, but also to arrange for a son-in-law to come forward whenever there is a conscription on weekdays.

If a son-in-law surnamed Ning travels into this era, let alone writing poems and picking up girls, 360 days a year either to the battlefield or to do conscription, tired and exhausted, and still write poems?

Xiang Yan's ability is very good, and he also knows very well that although the number of Chu troops is large, the national strength cannot be compared to that of Qin, and if he really goes to the battlefield and faces each other, he is likely to be defeated.

In fact, from the beginning of the Battle of Changping, the only ones who were able to inflict heavy losses on the Qin army in the field battle were Xinlingjun and Li Mu.

Xiang Yan didn't think he was much stronger than those two, so he arranged the Chu army in Shangshui, Shangcai, and Pingyu to build a strong base and defend it.

His plan was to delay, drag the main force of the Qin army, and then send surprise troops to attack and disturb the transportation lines of the Qin army, and delay it until the summer was hot and then fight.

Xiang Yan planned to drag it out, but Wang Jian was unwilling to delay.

In order to break through the fortified base of the Chu army, he directly called a large number of Qin Wang cannons and directly output them at the fortified base of the Chu army.

Under the powerful output of artillery, the fortifications built by the Chu army at the cost of countless cannon fodder were as vulnerable as tofu and easily broken, and the sharp soldiers of the Qin army immediately rushed into it and broke through the fortifications one after another.

Chu also obtained the secret of gunpowder from Zhao, and also mobilized the artillery he cast to fight against the Qin king's cannon.

But the smelting technology of Chu State is not up to par, and there are even a lot of bubbles on the cannon.

In terms of gunpowder, the formula ratio is wrong, either the power is too weak to cause the range to be insufficient, or the power is too strong and the chamber is directly exploded.

In the artillery battle with the Qin army, there was no doubt that he was defeated.

Seeing that delaying this trick was useless, Xiang Yan came up with the idea of attacking the Qin army's logistics supply line.

He first hit the transportation line from Yingchuan County to the Qin army camp.

But Qin Jun himself is also good at cutting off other people's supply lines, which Zhao Kuo has a deep understanding of.

In the face of the attack of the Chu army, Wang Jian calmly responded and arranged heavy troops to take precautions, not only did not let the Chu army take advantage, but even beat them.

The red-eyed Chu army began to move north, rushing directly into Yingchuan County.

When they saw the railroad tracks, and saw the filthy and screaming steel beast rumbling past the railroad tracks, many Chu soldiers were even frightened and turned around and ran.

When Chu Jun finally calmed down and began to find a way to disassemble the rails, he was stunned to find that the rails cast of steel couldn't move at all!

The knife and axe and hammer cut it up, that is, it just splashed sparks.

As for the person who is tied to the rope and pulls the horse, it is simply not moving.

The red-eyed Chu Jun was busy for a long time, and finally thought of a way to directly planing the foundation!

Relying on this method, it can be regarded as destroying a section of the railway before the Qin army arrived.

However, the Qin army quickly brought in Minfu Lux, and it only took a day or two to repair the damaged foundation.

Immediately, more Qin troops began to clean up the infiltrated Chu army along the railway line, and many small but extremely tragic engagements broke out.

Wang Jian is not in a hurry here, but the barrier of the Bachu army one after another.

It took a few months, and when Xiang Yan was red-eyed and mobilized the main force to go north, trying to cut off the supply line of the Qin army, Wang Jian suddenly launched a rapid offensive, led by powerful surprise soldiers, and broke the main force of the Chu army on the bank of the vortex river, and Xiang Yan also died in battle.

After the defeat of the main force of the Chu army, Wang Jian quickly swept through all parts of the Chu State, and finally reached the foot of Shouchun City, and broke through the capital of the Chu State after a bombardment.

The last king of Chu, Changping Jun, committed suicide in despair.

He knew very well that even if he surrendered, he would not be pardoned, so he simply knew about it directly.

After the fall of the Chu State, the general trend of the world has become completely clear, and the Yan Kingdom in the north is trembling, and the King of Yan is terrified.

When the Qin army moved north, the Yan army put up a desperate resistance on the banks of the Yishui River.

Without the slightest accident, the Yan army was almost completely wiped out under the defeat.

Yan Wangxi and Prince Dan didn't even dare to stay in Jicheng, and fled to the land of Liaodong in a hurry before the Qin army arrived.

Wang Jian sent a cavalry group to pursue day and night, and finally caught up with the remnants of Yan State, and killed Yan Wangxi and Prince Dan in a battle.

At this time, ten percent of the world and ninety percent of the world have been returned to the Qin State, and only the Qi State in a corner of the country is still surviving.

Qi Wangjian has been on the throne for forty years, and his career as a king is a life of holding high the banner of peace.

Qin and Zhao Changping fought a bloody battle, and Zhao couldn't drag on without food, so he sent envoys to Qi to ask for food.

The ministers said that they persuaded Qi Wangjian to provide food for Zhao, but they refused without hesitation.

As a result, Zhao Kuo, who had no food, had to take risks and send troops to a decisive battle, but he was lured by Bai Qi to lure the enemy deep and directly surround him.

Subsequently, in order to deal with the increasingly powerful Qin state, various countries continued to organize alliances to resist Qin, but Qi Wangjian never participated here.

He even took the initiative to go to Xianyang City to meet King Yingzheng of Qin to show his submission.

At this point, it is conceivable what the situation of Qi Guo is.

At this time, the Qi country, because there had been no war for many years, had a banquet and was in a peaceful environment for a long time. Failure to prepare for military revolution and war preparedness has reached an astonishing level of political numbness.

Even if the Qin State destroyed the Five Kingdoms one after another, the Qi State still naively thought that the Qin State would let him go.

Qi Wangjian was devoted to pleasure, and frolicked with beauties in the palace all day long, and handed over the affairs of the country to his uncle Hou Sheng.

After winning the victory and greedy for money, the Qin people did what they liked, sent a large amount of goods to him every year, and stabilized the Qi State for many years without joining the anti-Qin alliance.

For the Qin State, things that can be solved with money are not a matter.

How did these goods be delivered, and they had to be transported back as they were after they were destroyed, but they were just temporarily stored here for safekeeping.

Hou Sheng took the money to do things, not only persuaded Qi Wangjian to surrender to Qin all day long, but also loyally practiced Qin's strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack.

Moreover, he also purged the court and made the government and the opposition pacifists, and there was no fighting spirit at all.

Under the control of Qi Wangjian and Xiangguo Housheng, the entire Qi country was politically chaotic, the military spirit was slack, no one dared to fight, and the army and the people were already exhausted to the extreme.

It is also because of this that when the Qin army rushed into the Qi State like a broken bamboo, the localities could not even organize an army to resist.

When the news was transmitted to Linzi City, what Qi Wangjian did was not to hastily gather soldiers and horses to prepare to resist, but under the persuasion of his uncle, he chose to surrender!

This kind of performance is really for Jiang Ziya. Well, the Qi State surnamed Jiang surnamed Lu has long been usurped by the Tian family.

Ying Zheng looked down on Qi Wangjian and Hou Sheng very much, and first took away the goods that Hou Sheng had collected over the years, and even took away the wealth he had accumulated.

Then he put Qi Wangjian under house arrest and starved him to death without food and drink.

Anyway, this kind of person is just wasting food when he lives.

The news of Qin's annihilation of Qi and domination of the world reached Li Yunze's ears, and he finally put down the tools in his hand, stood up and looked at the west.

"Finally, it's time to go west."
