The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 320: Damn Yan State!
He laughed and said, "Your Excellency is right. Your Majesty is even more thoughtful."

"Alas, Your Excellency, please do not look down upon me as a general who commands troops and is a warrior. However, war is a matter of great importance to a country. Although I am not as benevolent as the king, I am not willing to start a war easily, nor do I want to cause more killings. It is better not to fight if possible."

Li Jian smiled and said, "General, you are right. If all the generals in the world had a heart of benevolence and righteousness like you, there would be less killing in the world."

Ji Wuye laughed and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no."

Then the two discussed the details, and Li Jian quietly left the Han army camp under the escort of Ji Wuye's men.

Li Jian breathed a sigh of relief only after he left. He was alone, facing the enemy general. Even though he was confident, he was still nervous since it was his first time. Fortunately, everything went well and he fulfilled his mission.

With excitement and nervousness, Li Jian had just walked a short distance when he keenly sensed that something was wrong. He remained calm and continued to rush back.

Suddenly a sound was heard.

"Please stay for a moment, Your Excellency."

Li Jian stopped and his right hand was already on the hilt of the sword.

"Please don't be nervous, sir. I just want to make friends with you. By the way, please bring back a message."

The person who spoke was Bai Yifei.

Based on his understanding of Ji Wuye, he already knew that Ji Wuye would not be honest.

Today he finally got a good opportunity.

Look, with Ji Wuye’s relationship, now it’s yours, right?

After hearing this, Li Jian already had an idea in his mind.

It seems like there is an unexpected gain today.

Turn around slowly with a smile on your face.

New deals, extra gains, isn't this just about to begin?
The State of Chu had no idea that it had been completely betrayed.

Although Chu's resistance consciousness was not strong, Chunshen Jun's idea was to delay the war as much as possible and watch Wei and Zhao bleed heavily.

If Wei and Zhao really put in a ruthless effort and conquered Hedong, they would have the opportunity to penetrate directly into the heart of Qin and inflict heavy damage on Qin, which would also be something that Chu would welcome.

But the State of Chu is not stupid, and neither are others.

Although King Huanhui of Han wanted to inflict a heavy blow on the State of Qin, he would never dare to rush to the front.

He would never dare to do anything that might cause huge losses.

South Korea is a small country with a small population. If it is seriously damaged in the war, it will be a big problem how to deal with the tigers and wolves around it.

In addition to him thinking so, the generals under his command also had their own thoughts.

To sum it up in one sentence, it's okay to sell your effort, but it's not okay to sell your life.

Such a group of rabble, each with their own ulterior motives, and no determination to fight to the death in the face of a powerful enemy, the outcome is already doomed.

Only a strong enemy will seize the opportunity and hit you hard.

The only ones who really worked hard were Wei and Zhao.

Pang Nuan led an army of 300,000 and attacked Hedong, and then he found that the resistance of the Qin army was completely different.

The Qin army's resistance along the way can be said to be better than nothing, but now, the Qin army's combat power shocked Pang Nuan. The Qin army has strict discipline, high morale, and a large number of troops. The Mohist city defense devices are even more powerful. After a year of careful construction and governance by the Qin State, the key defense fortifications in the east of the river are rigorous and complete, and the important cities are all high and thick walled.

The Qin army had the advantage of terrain and people, and the coalition forces had difficulty advancing at every step.

Moreover, the Qin army gave the coalition forces a warning at the very beginning. Under the Qin army's unexpected and proactive offensive, the scattered coalition forces suffered heavy losses. The already scattered and arrogant morale collapsed under the great contrast. Now they have no will to fight and are afraid of Qin.

Faced with the Qin army's tight fortifications and strong walls, the coalition forces, although large in numbers and powerful in strength, had no way to attack. They attempted a violent attack under Pang Nuan's strict orders, but gained nothing but heavy casualties.

What made Pang Nuan angry the most was that the Yan and Wei states were really useless. When they were asked to go up, they kept grumbling and unwilling to do so. When the Wei and Zhao states forced them to go up, they just ran away after a few hits.

Not to mention entrusting them with important tasks, they didn't even dare to attack the city together with them. They would just turn around and destroy their own formation, damaging morale.

It's really useless except for playing supporting role.

But Pang Nuan couldn't do anything to them. They couldn't just start an internal conflict now.

Pang Nuan was so exhausted that he could only comfort himself by saying that it was okay to just play a supporting role. At least the State of Yan did not attack this time, which was good enough to boost their morale.

The main force to attack Henei and Hedong could only rely on Wei and Zhao, but the two countries had a deep blood feud and their camps were clearly separated. When both sides were attacking the city, they were all thinking about tripping up the other side and there was no coordination at all. Facing the tight defense of the Qin army, there was no hope at all.

Pang Nuan had no choice but to divide his troops again. Wei and Zhao attacked the cities in two directions, attacking different large cities in Hedong and Henei respectively.

However, this division of troops made things even more difficult. It was useless to attack small cities, and big cities were impossible to attack at all. For a while, Wei and Zhao were stuck in the quagmire of war.

The most abominable one is Yan Chunjun, who keeps shouting about retreating, saying that the losses are heavy. How many people did your Yan State lose? Every time he charges forward, he retreats after a hail of arrows. How many people can die?

All the tough battles were fought by Wei and Zhao!
Bastard Yan Chunjun.

Now Pang Nuan really regretted that he should not have let the State of Yan get involved.

I feel uneasy no matter what these bastards from Yan State do.

Because they can guarantee that they will not be able to do the job for you, and with such a negative attitude, it is worse than not having them at all.

It brought no positive effects at all, and instead dealt a huge blow to morale.

When fighting a tough battle like this, the most taboo thing is for jerk teammates to spread an atmosphere that undermines morale!
At this tense moment, Pang Nuan cursed the State of Wei in his heart.

If the Hedong area was still there, how could there be such a passive situation?
He lamented in his heart that Qin had grasped the opportunity very well and took over Hedong and Henei in one fell swoop. The upper and lower parts were connected together, and it could be said that there was no weakness anymore. If they wanted to attack the heartland of Qin, they could only fight a hard battle. But how could a hard battle be so easy to win?

The other side has the advantage of time, place and people, has well-trained soldiers and sufficient food, strong generals garrisoning, and powerful military equipment.

On our side, the coalition forces were riddled with internal contradictions, and everyone had their own ulterior motives, making it difficult for them to unite as one. The quality of the nobles was uneven, and it was difficult to achieve consistent command. They had no desire to fight such a tough battle, and no morale.

The more Pang Nuan thought about it, the more desperate he became. Oh my God, why is it like this?
The six countries had an army of 560,000 but could not achieve any substantial results. Who could do anything to Qin in the future?

Doesn't it mean that only Qin can attack others, and there will be no chance for others to attack Qin?

Let alone swallowing up the world, in such a situation, even if he just eats away at it gradually, he will be able to unify the world sooner or later.

Anxious Pang Nuan has already consulted Wei Zhao several times, but Wei Zhao is also at a loss.

In a tough battle like this, there is no other way except to compete in hard power.

The defending side already had the advantage, and the city defense equipment and mechanical equipment were Qin Mo's specialties.

Not only that, there is also an active offensive defensive weapon that belongs to Gongshujia.

What else can we do in a war like this except sacrifice human lives?
