Chapter 1126 - 1126 44 Chaos Worlds Little Married Couple

Chapter 1126: Chapter 44: Chaos World’s Little Married Couple [Two in One]_2 Chapter 1126: Chapter 44: Chaos World’s Little Married Couple [Two in One]_2 Even as time went on, under the simultaneous attacks from both flanks, Fei Xinyu’s troops gradually became overwhelmed.

Fortunately, Ma Daocheng arrived overnight to reinforce them and led the army against Lian Mu, finally relieving Fei Xinyu’s troops.

With the Chu Country, Han State, and Wei State dispatching troops, war erupted along the borders of the Great Qin, battles unfolding from all directions.

Once the battle among the nations began, the whole world instantly fell into turmoil.

The turning point of this chaotic battle was Wu Tiejun miraculously appearing at the front lines of the Chu Country with his army in tow.

Wu Tiejun’s troops hastened to the rescue, and the moment they arrived, they charged into the Chu army’s formation from the side like celestial soldiers descending from heaven.

In the instant the two sides made contact, a Ferocious Beast let out a fierce roar.

Following this roar, the Chu cavalry that were nearer, upon hearing it, were all thrown into disarray, and their formation immediately collapsed.

As this variation occurred, from a point to a line, from a line to a surface, the Chu army was completely routed.

Wu Tiejun’s troops relentlessly pursued the fleeing soldiers of the Chu Country, biting at their heels and shattering their defenses in one fell swoop!

This officially announced the destruction of Chu Country’s strongest defense line, which was obliterated thereafter!

From then on, Chu Country no longer had any natural barriers to defend itself, and the fertile lands beyond the “One-Line Sky” fell entirely under the iron hooves of the Qin Army!

…

Yan State was declining, strong in spirit but weak in power.

Qi Country was also severely defeated.

Chu Country had its border defenses breached as well.

Han State, being in a relatively remote location, remained out of reach of Qin Country and thus continued the standoff.

Wei State and Zhao State were also still in a standoff situation.

However, the situation across the world had quietly changed.

By the following year, Ma Qiange led his troops from the northwest and decisively defeated the Han troops by the Han River.

That same year, Fei Xinyu focused on resisting Lian Mu’s troops, exploiting a chance to employ his sharp tongue. Amidst a barrage of insults, he angered the old general into relapsing from an old wound, shaking the morale of his army.

Zhao State, left with no choice, sent out the up-and-coming General Zhao Yikuo to take command.

It was said that Zhao Yikuo was a rare military strategist for Zhao State in thirty years and had even written the “Art of War,” his command reputed to be divine, making him the undisputed future military leader for Zhao State. Taking over from General Lian Mu was only logical. If he could defeat the mighty lion of Great Qin at this time, he would rewrite the rankings of military tacticians on the Anping mainland.

Regrettably, this Zhao elite, too proud and dismissive of others, blind in his confidence and considering himself unmatched in military strategy, fell into a series of traps laid by three Qin Great Marshals.

Fei Xinyu, leading the elite forces, implemented piercing tactics that dramatically turned the tide of the battle.

In this battle.

Fifteen thousand elites of Great Qin penetrated the Chu army, with only three thousand surviving, a testament to the ferocity of the conflict.

Yet, this extreme strategy became the key and turning point in breaking the deadlock.

Ma Daocheng and Fei Pingjiang subsequently launched a joint attack, with the long-ignored Ma Daogong breaking through from the central route.

Confronted by attacks from all sides, Zhao Yikuo could no longer hold out, leading his army of four hundred thousand to a complete collapse.

Another Zhao force under Li Po naturally planned a rescue to turn the tides, or at least to regroup the fleeing troops, but was firmly restrained by Wu Tiejun leveraging the terrain, daring not to make any rash moves.

By the time Li Po broke through Wu Tiejun’s blockade and marched around the mountain, when he finally arrived at the battlefield, the forty-thousand-strong army had nearly been annihilated.

Li Po stabilized his position and did his best to regroup the survivors, gradually retreating.

The Qin Army did not pursue further, choosing not to expand their victory.

Facing General Li of Zhao State, renowned as one of the greatest military strategists of all times, nobody dared to underestimate him.

Even though the Qin Army had already amassed one million soldiers, facing Li Po’s three hundred thousand men, they still dared not act rashly.

Should they provide him with an opportunity, even a million-strong army with a significant advantage would be rendered useless.

Thus, the great battles among the states once again entered a new round of standoffs, various standoffs.

Another year passed, and Ma Qiange resumed combat, launching attacks during a snowy night. Midway through the battle, Wu Tiejun repeated his old tactic, suddenly launching a surprise force that broke through and entered the enemy’s formation.

The Ferocious Beast unleashed its power, appearing as an ultimate unstoppable move.

The Great Qin troops took the initiative, and when Qin General Bai Fu led the ambush forces into the battle, the victory was decisively secured.

In one night, Han State’s six hundred thousand elite troops were entirely annihilated.

Three generals divided their forces into three routes, capturing thirty-six cities of Han State within ten days!

Fei Xinyu, changing guards, led his troops into Zhao State territory, fighting continuous battles and retreating all the way, Li Po not falling for his tactic of drawing the enemy in. By defending as a form of attack, Fei Xinyu returned unsuccessfully.

Qi Country’s army was about to move when it was suppressed by Ma Daocheng leading his troops and even took the opportunity to launch another attack into Qi territory.

By the second half of this year, only Zhao State and Wei State could still maintain a standoff with Qin Country.

The other four states were all significantly weakened and debilitated.

By the end of the third year, the ruler of Yan State sent his kingly brother alongside Wang Shumo on a mission to Qin Country to discuss the terms of surrender.

Wang Shumo, carrying the stratagem of concealing troops with his cartographer, presented the plans at the grand hall.

Jing Zhu suddenly drew his sword to assassinate the Qin Emperor.

But missing his strike, he was immediately killed by the Qin forces in the grand hall.

Wang Shumo was charged and confessed without denial.

“For the sake of the world… I won’t kill you; for Yan State, I must kill you. Regrettably, I am a man of Yan.”

Wang Shumo smiled resignedly.

The Qin Emperor ordered his execution with indifference.

Wang Shumo laughed hysterically and sang a poem as he faced death.

“I was born into the royal family, not by my own choice, with a flute and a sword I wandered through life; half my life spent carefree, with no master of my heart, wasting away without voicing any sorrow; not seeking high positions, content in plain garments, not craving glory but cherishing freedom; peace and prosperity dull a strong spirit, a single battle ceases the collapse of rivers and mountains; a mournful song had just played the night before, calmly I go today to face the deep abyss; in life and eternity, my two great regrets, failing to honor the beautiful, failing in tenderness.”
