The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

Chapter 234: The hub of the world

Views:

As for whether Chu State can maintain its current vigorous development trend, the victory or defeat of the coalition forces in the central battlefield has become crucial.

If the allied forces win, or even if they remain undefeated, Chu's results will be maintained. If the coalition forces lose, not only will Chu's victory be revealed, but a large area of territory will also be lost.

At this critical moment, how could Tian Guang hope that he would defect to the alliance army where his country was located and be defeated

That's why Tian Guang agreed to Xiaoyaozi and came to the front line of the battlefield with the Mo family, who he was now extremely uncooperative with, to take a good look at the person he held a grudge against and didn't want him to lose.

This army, in particular, is the main force of the entire alliance. It shoulders the important responsibility of resisting Qin's frontal pressure and is crucial to the survival of the alliance.

It can be said that it does not matter even if the alliance is defeated on both the northern and southern fronts. As long as the central front maintains a victorious attitude, or even just maintains a draw, the alliance can continue to exist.

Because everyone knows that the northern and southern fronts are just some partial troops from both camps. Although they are relatively important to the overall situation, they are not fatal.

Why do you say that? Because Zhao and Wei in the north, even if all their current troops are defeated and killed, they still have more than 100,000 or even 200,000 troops in the country, and they can pull out another hero.

As for the Chu State in the south, let alone that. Even if they attack his millions of troops, it is not impossible.

These two fronts have such confidence that they naturally have little impact on the outcome, but the situation is different for the coalition forces in the center.

The coalition forces in the central part are composed of the three kingdoms of Yan, South Korea and Yu. The Yan and Yu kingdoms are located in the northern Xinjiang, thousands of miles away from the battlefield.

With such a long distance, it can be said to be a fantasy to mobilize troops from the rear to support southward.

Even with Yuguo's mobilization ability, plus one man and two horses, it would take him more than a month to arrive if the cavalry went south at night. If he replaced the infantry, he would not have more than three months. Don't even think about it.

For such a long time, it is naturally impossible to count on them to support the battlefield where every moment is extremely precious. In other words, at the very beginning, the support behind the two countries in the central battlefield began to be completely eliminated.

As for South Korea, don’t even think about it. South Korea is too small, with only a dozen cities in total. Now that it is being ravaged by the Qin State again, South Korea has recruited a group of strong men, and it has long been broken beyond repair.

Nowadays, the entire country, because it has been a war for more than two years, does not know whether there are 400,000 people in total, and most of them are old, weak, women and children. It is not known whether there are men over ten years old

The 50,000 Korean troops on the battlefield now are already the last traces of potential that the King of Korea has drawn from the country through gritted teeth, and they contain the last blood of Korea.

If all these 50,000 people die, it can be said that there is no man left in South Korea.

After all, Korean boys under ten years old cannot be called men yet. As for those over ten years old, they have long been used as cannon fodder because of the war and have been used up.

Today's Central Allied Forces can be said to have no support at all. There are only these people on the battlefield. Some of them die, but less. If they die, there will be no support at all.

That's why it is said that the central coalition cannot be defeated, because once it is defeated, the Qin army can rush into the Central Plains from the central part, and the rear areas of the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Chu will also be completely opened to Qin without any defense. before.

Especially Wei State, which is right behind South Korea and located in the Central Plains, has no natural defenses from the Yellow River and Huaihe River.

He put the greatest pressure on Qin, so King Wei immediately made the decision to go south to support after a little reminder from his prime minister.

This truth, once the coalition forces know it, Qin State also knows it, so Qin State will put all its elite troops on the central battlefield. I just hope that Wang Jian, the military god of Qin, can live up to his reputation and lead the Qin army to victory again!

As long as the central battlefield is opened, the coalition forces will fall apart, and there will no longer be the current situation where the north and the south respond to each other and unite with each other.

Instead, they will be defeated one by one by the elite Qin army freed up in the middle, and the situation will fall back to the previous situation, even worse than before.

Because of this war, all countries have exhausted all their resources. Now that they lose, they will no longer be able to resist Qin's invasion.

The Qin State can be regarded as unifying most of China. In addition to Qi and Chu, the other three states of Han, Zhao, Wei, and Jin, as well as the Yan State in the north, can be easily conquered.

The Chu State in the south will also lose a large area of territory and can only huddle in the area east of the Yangtze River and survive.

On the top of the mountain, the Taoist and Mohist farmhouses all had their own thoughts and plans. But there is no doubt that they all have a common purpose, or a common belief, that is, the coalition cannot lose.

Among the coalition forces, the State of Yan represents the interests of the Mohist family, and the State of Chu represents the interests of the farmers. As for the Taoist Renzong, they are constantly entangled with the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei.

Each of their schools has an interest in creating chaos with the coalition. If the coalition fails, the impact on their schools will be extremely huge, and may even cause their schools to fail.

So no matter how they viewed the coalition forces and their co-ordinated control of the country, they had no intention of going against the coalition forces. Instead, they secretly supported the coalition forces.

This can be seen from the strong men they sent to accompany the army, as well as secretly helping the coalition to resist the Jianghu forces from Qin's factions, and even facing Qin's snare weapons.

These Jianghu schools and hundreds of schools of thought can be said to have worked tooth and nail for the coalition forces they supported.

"The war has begun. I wonder who will be the winner of this battle?" Xiaoyaozi's somewhat mysterious voice came over, looking a bit like a magician.

These so-called Taoists, who pursue the so-called way of heaven, like to pretend to be gods and ghosts. They speculate on God's will and leave everything to God to decide.

Even the Human Sect, which prefers to practice in the world, is an unswerving pursuit of the will of Heaven, but the method is different from the Tian Sect.

Tian Guang frowned. He didn't like these Taoists. They were too pretentious, pursuing the ethereal way of heaven, and were not pragmatic. However, he still turned his head and looked down the mountain.

There, the battle, which has been gathering hundreds of thousands of people, is about to begin.

The outcome of this battle will affect the comparison of strength between the two sides, and the tilt of the world's situation is very important to Tian Guang and even the people of the world.
