Views:

This time, the two sides were able to achieve such a result. In addition to each sending some elite soldiers to lead the ordinary soldiers and creating a momentum, there was also pressure from both sides, so that the soldiers knew in their hearts that they had no way out.

Therefore, it was possible to achieve a casualty ratio that could only be achieved by elite aces. The casualties of both sides were close to 80%, and Yuguo's was more than 80%.

This strong will to fight without orders and fight to the death not only made Qin feel intimidated, but also made Han and Yan behind Yu Guo feel waves of fear.

Even if they are both members of the Alliance, they are in an alliance with the country of this army and are now comrades-in-arms.

But for the kings of their respective countries, they have to think deeply about how they will deal with this alliance leader and the relationship between the two countries in the future.

No one wants to be subordinate to others all the time. The two countries, as the countries most affected and most powerfully controlled by the Royal Kingdom, are naturally looking for ways to get rid of them.

But now, the bravery of the imperial army and its fearless spirit of life and death made them feel afraid. They couldn't help but wonder, what could they do if they faced this kind of army

The answer at least frightened each of them, and their thoughts slowly died down.

All in all, no matter what everyone thinks, this first battle is slowly coming to an end.

As the armies of both sides withdrew, only a few soldiers from both sides were left on the battlefield to clean up the corpses. Other than that, there were wild beasts looking for food and vultures and flies in the sky.

Time flew by so fast, in the blink of an eye, it was the second month, the night before the second decisive battle.

At this moment, in the Yan Kingdom's camp, in a remote tent, several Yan Kingdom soldiers were whispering.

"Brother, it will be our turn to go to the battlefield tomorrow. Do you think we can survive?" A thin Yan soldier asked with a little fear in his tone to the burly man in front of him. .

"A Gang, you have to remember that as a man of the Yan Kingdom, there is no such thing as fear!" The bald man in front of him, with only a tuft of hair on his back, patted the thin soldier on the shoulder and said calmly. said the voice.

"But, brother, you also saw last month's battlefield, how many of those barbarians from the country came back after going to the battlefield..." The soldier named A Gang said in a low tone.

It's not his fault. It was actually the first battle between the Yu Kingdom and the Qin Kingdom, and the brutality frightened them.

There were 80% casualties. Only one or two out of ten people could survive in the end. No wonder they were scared. Under this casualty ratio, no one had a sure idea whether they could survive to the end.

This is what A Gang thinks now. He regards this last night as the last peaceful and quiet day he enjoys, and he cherishes it very much.

"What are you afraid of? It is our duty as soldiers to die in battle. Are we Yan soldiers worse than barbarians from the north? Besides, as your eldest brother, I will protect you and will definitely lead you to survive. To the final peaceful age!" Big Iron Hammer held A Gang's face with both hands, lifted him up, and said solemnly with his bright eyes piercing the somewhat confused eyes.

"Brother..." Looking at Big Iron Hammer's eyes, A Gang seemed to realize something, and tears welled up in his eyes.

The next day, this day is the beginning of the second decisive battle. As the main force in the decisive battle, all 100,000 people from Yan State and 50,000 people from South Korea will also take the field. In addition to the 50,000 Huns on the Yuguo side, the total army is 200,000, which is already more than 2/3 of the coalition's strength.

The only people who stayed behind to hold down the formation and supervise the battlefield were the remaining 50,000 elite soldiers and horses, and the 15,000 remnant soldiers who had retreated and were still recuperating.

The Qin army on the opposite side also has 200,000 men, but their composition is much better than the one on the opposite side. They are all the elites of Qin who have been on the battlefield for a long time. They all ignore life and death, and have a natural affinity for the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms. A sense of pride.

In this way, one is united and confident, and the other is complex and has different thoughts. The battles they have will naturally be very interesting.

The war had just begun. As the war drums thundered again, the soldiers were divided into batches. One batch after another walked to the predetermined location to fight the enemy.

The Qin State is worthy of being the Qin State. It is capable of crushing the six countries, even if it is now in decline.

As soon as the battle began, Qin's brave and brave soldiers opened several breaches, rushed into the tens of thousands of soldiers who had just advanced, and beat them to pieces.

Among them, General Li Xin, who has become famous recently due to the Qin State, performed the most outstandingly.

He led the Qin army's 10,000 cavalry, rushing left and right on the battlefield. He grasped the timing very well. He could often find the flaws of the coalition forces, and then rush through, defeating a local battlefield.

"Who is that person? He is so brave, and his intuition about war is so keen!" Looking at Li Xin's army that performed extremely well on the battlefield, Zhong Yu pointed at him and asked the people around him.

"Replying to your Majesty, this is Li Xin, a young general who has recently risen in the Qin State. He is brave and good at fighting. He is only about 20 years old, but he has already reached the rank of general in the Qin State and commands an all-powerful elite cavalry of the Qin State. It is said that he went to battle before In an instant, he had led three thousand men to defeat an army of tens of thousands from the State of Zhao, and then fought in the north and south. His performance was outstanding among the generals of the State of Qin, and he was promoted to his current position!" A minister beside him told him what he knew. The information was revealed.

"It turns out to be Li Xin. No wonder he has such ability. It's just that letting him wreak havoc like this will destroy the prestige of our army. Who can defeat him with me?" Hearing the name Li Xin, Zhong Yu nodded clearly. He nodded and understood why this young general was so brave.

As a very prominent general in the war to unify the world in the late Qin Dynasty, Li Xin's performance can be said to be extremely outstanding among the younger generation.

He even surpassed Meng Tian and others in majesty, and was almost as powerful as Wang Jian. What was behind him was just the accumulation of time. Unfortunately, in the battle to destroy Chu, the long-term victory made him start to swell. He arrogantly said that 200,000 troops could do it. To destroy Chu, they actually regarded Chu as a weak country like Han, Zhao, and Wei.

In the end, he failed miserably and was demoted to Longxi by the King of Qin, where he became an unknown border defense general with no future.

After hearing Zhong Yu's words, several generals nearby looked at each other, but in the end they did not dare to say anything and just lowered their heads.

Seeing the cowardly performance of these generals in front of him, Zhong Yu was angry. Are these the generals of the Six Kingdoms? No wonder he was so incompetent that he was defeated by Qin one after another.
