However, upon seeing the Qin army looming in the distance, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Scouts reported that Qin had only deployed 300,000 troops.
Moreover, none of them wore armor; they were all dressed in some kind of green uniform.
Judging from the material, it is no different from the clothing materials worn by ordinary people.
This kind of protective gear probably offers absolutely no protection against swords or blades.
Another rather strange thing is that...
The weapon they were holding was some kind of long, stick-like weapon.
In previous wars, or rather, among all the recorded weapons, none could match this description.
These strange occurrences, even before the war had begun, had already cast a shadow over his mind.
It is said that if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
But now, he knows almost nothing about the Qin army.
However, with a tenfold difference in troop strength, did the Qin state really think that its 300,000 troops could defeat the million-strong army of Northern Qi?
Or does Northern Qi intend to rely on the power of a Grandmaster to defeat its three million-strong army?
However, even for a grandmaster, it is a pipe dream to directly confront an army of a million.
Moreover, in the Northern Qi army now,
There are also two Grandmasters, Si Gu Jian and Ku He, and more than twenty experts at the ninth rank.
By all accounts, Northern Qi had the upper hand in this battle.
Uesugi Tora couldn't even imagine that Northern Qi might lose.
But recalling the confidence Sean had displayed at the time, he became somewhat unsure.
Sean has already entered the Grandmaster realm.
Even in a war like this, though it may not affect the overall outcome, it still plays a significant role.
He did not believe that Li Chengqian, the new ruler of Qin in 293, would be unaware of the importance of a Grandmaster.
Even so, Sean did not choose to join the battle, but instead surrendered so easily.
All of this made Uesugi Tora feel deeply uneasy.
However, the bow was already on the string and had to be released.
If the three million-strong army suffered a crushing defeat here, it would mean that the fate of the Northern Qi dynasty was sealed and beyond human control.
He will do his best.
Gave an order,
The three million-strong army, with unstoppable momentum, transformed into a black torrent and began to advance.
Transit Qunqi Paint (II) Yo Yi
At this very moment,
A projection appeared in the sky above every city in the entire world, whether it was the Northern Qi, the Eastern Yi, the Qin, or even the Western Hu.
The scene of the Northern Qi's three million-strong army facing off against the Qin's three hundred thousand-strong army is clearly visible in the text.
This scene was like a miracle.
It instantly filled countless people with shock and awe.
However, what attracts them even more is
Of course, it remains to be seen how this impending war will unfold.
Although it seemed that the Northern Qi was destined to win.
With ten times the military strength, how could the Qin state possibly win?
However, just as the Northern Qi army approached within a thousand meters of the Qin army,
The Qin soldiers then uniformly picked up their weapons, which resembled iron rods.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people around the world
Amidst the fierce gunfire that resounded across the battlefield, a terrifying hail of bullets instantly engulfed the Qi army.

Firepower beyond this era
In an instant, the Qi army, which had been so aggressive, was stunned.
In just a short moment,
The vanguard of the Northern Qi army fell like wheat being harvested.
Those dazzling tongues of fire became the Grim Reaper, reaping lives.
The Qi army, clad in such fine armor...
They couldn't even last a second longer under this hail of bullets!
Behind the 300,000 Qin troops
Han Xin issued commands with a calm expression, perfectly maintaining this terrifying firepower suppression.
The 300,000 Qin troops represent the current limit of Qin's military capabilities, not its ultimate limit.
this moment,
The scene depicted on the battlefield, where human life was as worthless as grass, was vividly portrayed.
even
The lethality of cold weapons and firearms is vastly different.
Uesugi Tora was trembling, Kuho was trembling, even the ruthless Sigu Jian was trembling, and countless people who saw this scene through the projection were also trembling.
Fierce, terrifying, unbelievable.
No one has ever seen such a scene.
In just that short period of time, the Northern Qi lost at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
At this rate of slaughter
By the time the three million-strong army reaches the Qin army, there will probably be very few left.
Panic quickly spread among the Northern Qi army.
Countless Northern Qi soldiers only saw their comrades fall one by one, and many did not even know what had happened.
Uesugi Tora gritted his teeth. He knew that Northern Qi could not retreat now, nor could it afford to.
His only option now is to send his main force to quickly approach the Qin army and engage in close combat.
Even if it meant huge casualties, he had no choice but to do it.
This battlefield has become a killing field; advancing means death, retreating means death as well.
Only by taking a gamble can we have a glimmer of hope.
"charge!"
Under military orders,
Even though chaos had broken out in the Northern Qi army, they chose to obey immediately.
Faced with the Northern Qi's charge, Han Xin smiled coldly, not taking it to heart at all.
An army of 300,000 armed men
Their power was simply beyond the resistance of ordinary armies armed with cold weapons.
Nine hundred meters, another batch of Qi soldiers fell.
Eight hundred meters, and another batch.
For every hundred meters the Qi army advanced, it paid an extremely heavy price.
The Qin army constantly changed formations, maintaining terrifying firepower for a long time.
Of course, this also means a large consumption of ammunition.
Even with Qin's resources, this war will completely deplete its six months of accumulated strength.
Uesugi Torato's heart was bleeding.
But he could only relentlessly urge the Qi army to continue their attack.
The grandmasters who had been given high hopes were unable to even make a move under such terrifying firepower.
When facing a gun, hiding might not take much effort, but under this dense hail of bullets, no matter if you're a grandmaster or not, you'd be considered impressive if you could last three seconds.
Not to mention,
Behind the Qin army, Wu Zhu, expressionless, was carrying a Barrett sniper rifle.
Although he has not yet made a move.
However, it also made Si Gu Jian and Ku He, who were thousands of meters away, feel an extremely deep chill.
Given Wu Zhu's skill level with firearms,
Whether it's Si Gu Jian or Ku He, as long as they dare to show their faces, they can't escape death.
At 500 meters, the most elite archers in the Qi army could finally attempt to retaliate.
But they must also be under the protection of their comrades' flesh and blood.
Moreover, archers with a range of 500 meters are already rare.
A martial arts master must be at least at the seventh rank, and must possess a high-quality, strong bow; their archery skills must also be at a high level.
Even if they retaliate, the effect is minimal.
It wasn't until they advanced to within 300 meters that they managed to mount some effective counterattacks.
When the Northern Qi army broke through to within 100 meters, the Qin army finally suffered some casualties.
