Chapter 24-Seven Countries 'Strong Troops, All Colors for a Thousand Years! (New book, evaluation ticket!)
Ten days later, the Qin army that had left Langya County had already arrived at the former capital of Wei, Daliang, at a rapid speed.
Fifteen years ago, this was still the land of Wei.
Fifteen years ago, during the war against Wei, it was Wang Ben who had flooded Daliang City with water.
The city of Daliang, which had been besieged for months, collapsed. In the end, the King of Wei opened the Imperial City and surrendered.
That battle also declared the death of the King of Wei.
Ying Lu followed Ying Zheng's carriage to Daliang City.
He looked at Daliang, which had once represented the prosperity of the Wei Kingdom for hundreds of years, and then looked at the city that had been rebuilt after the collapse.
Mentioning Daliang, one had to mention Wei, and mentioning Wei, one had to mention Wuqi.
Wu Qi, surnamed Jiang Wu, Wei people.
After Lu, Chu, Wei three countries.
He is the author of "Wu Zi's Art of War" and Sun Wu, who is also known as Sun Wu.
Other than Wu Zi's Art of War, Wu Qi created the first professional army two thousand years ago.
What was a professional army?
It was a professional army that was only responsible for fighting and not for producing.
The name of this legion had once struck fear into the hearts of the seven kingdoms. It was called the Wei Wu Army!
The other six states were different from the soldiers of Wei. All the soldiers were recruited during the war and went back to work.
This was both a soldier and a citizen.
However, the soldiers of Emperor Wu of Wei were different.
The selection of soldiers in Wei was extremely strict.
Soldiers had to be able to wear three layers of armor (three layers of protective clothing or another name for heavy armor), hold a halberd, hang an iron sword at their waist, carry a rhino-face oar behind them, 50 bolts and strong crossbows, and carry three days 'worth of rations. Only soldiers who could march a hundred miles in half a day could become soldiers.
Other than training, the soldiers of the Wei Kingdom did not need to work. The Wei Kingdom would distribute land to the soldiers of the Wei Kingdom, and they would also distribute servants (slaves) to the families of the soldiers of the Wei Kingdom as labor.
At the peak of their power, the Wei army only had 50,000 soldiers.
But it was these 50,000 people that almost destroyed the Qin country.
In 389 B.C., during the Battle of Yin and Jin, Wu Qi led 50,000 soldiers of Wei and defeated the 500,000 strong Qin army. He won ten times the battle and created a famous battle in history where he defeated the Qin army with fewer people.
Hangu Pass was an important city of Qin State. For many years, the six states had allied many times, but they had never been able to break through Hangu Pass.
However, with just Wuqi and 50,000 Wei soldiers, they had broken through Hangu Pass and seized 500 miles of land from the Qin country. They had suppressed the insufferably arrogant Qin country in the narrow and long area west of Mount Hua and almost destroyed it.
In 405 B.C., Wei's Wu soldier Long Ze defeated the Qi army, killing tens of thousands of enemies and breaking into the border of Qi, shaking Qi.
In 350 B.C., Pang Juan led the soldiers of Wei to attack Handan, the capital of Zhao.
The glory of Emperor Wu of Wei's soldiers was that he won 64 victories in 72 battles in his life.
Until the soldiers of Wei met their natural nemesis, Tu Baiqi of Qin.
During the Battle of Yique, Baiqi had defeated the Zhao and Wei alliance army, killing 240,000 soldiers. After this battle, the Wei army had almost been wiped out.
But even if the Wei Kingdom had been destroyed, the soldiers of the Wei Kingdom would not be destroyed.
According to the trend of history, the soldiers of Wei would step onto the stage of history for the last time in the calamity at the end of Qin Dynasty.
He just didn't know if the remaining soldiers of the Wei Dynasty would be on the list.
Of course, other than the soldiers of the Wei Kingdom, the seven countries also had their own strong troops that had been leading the way for decades.
Back then, the leader of the Zhao Country, King Wuling, was dressed in Hu clothes and had built the Wu Ling Iron Cavalry, pushing the cavalry of the Zhao Country to the strongest of the seven countries.
It was a powerful army that was established in the bitter cold land of Yan Country to guard against Donghu.
As well as the Qi State's halberd wielding warriors who were good at martial arts, the Qi State once dominated the late Spring and Autumn Period with these halberd wielding warriors.
Although Han was small, in terms of technology and commerce, due to geographical reasons, Han was the strongest among the other countries. Han's crossbowmen and ballistae with a range of up to 600 meters were the best weapons for Han's defense.
If Ye Teng had not rebelled, Han Country might have been able to resist for several years.
The Chu Country also had an extremely legendary army group called the Shenxi Army!
Shen and Xi were two small countries. Although their national strength was weak, the folk customs of the two countries were extremely tough. Moreover, all men had to receive military training from a young age, similar to Spartans.
Therefore, every adult man who was breathing was an outstanding warrior.
Later on, Shen and Xi destroyed the country, and the two tribes became the Chu people. The Chu country used the young and middle-aged men of Shen and Xi to form an extremely powerful army, the Shen Xi Army.
However, regardless of whether it was the soldiers of Wei, the elite soldiers of Liaodong, or the Chu army, they could only fall under the Great Qin army.
Great Qin's elite soldiers are famous all over the world.
Great Qin had a powerful army.
The first was the Iron Eagle Warriors. Back then, Sima Cuo had used the method of recruiting the soldiers of the State of Wei. He had used a stricter method to select 1,600 Iron Eagle Warriors from the 300,000 Qin soldiers.
It was these 1,600 people who became the vanguards for Great Qin.
The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing the sky.
Great Qin had relied on these 1,600 Iron Eagle soldiers to open the gates of Shu and merge Shu into Great Qin.
However, there were too few Iron Eagle Warriors.
Later on, with the Iron Eagle Elite Soldiers as the foundation, he used Baiqi's thousands of personal soldiers to create another powerful army, the Great Qin Elite Soldiers.
Now, Great Qin's elite army was far more than this.
The 500,000 Southern Army, the 300,000 Meng Army, and the 50,000 Longxi Army all had their own unique characteristics.
"I wonder how many of Great Qin's strongest Corps will be on the rankings!”Ying Lu lightly shook the reins of his warhorse and stepped into Daliang City.
