The first to attack was the eastern side, which had originally been the most powerful faction. It now had 10 million soldiers, three million more than before, and it had 90 or so system main cities. It started to ferociously attack the Leaf Province, which was the Southleaf region.
Zhao Fu immediately ordered Bai Qi to lead eight million soldiers and 80 or so City Lords to meet them in battle.
Following this, the western side also attacked, and it now had eight million soldiers, two million more than before. 80 system main cities participated, and they gave off a terrifying aura as they charged towards the Flask Province, which was the region from before.
Zhao Fu ordered Wang Jian to lead six million soldiers and 70 or so City Lords to meet them in battle.
However, what Zhao Fu did not expect was that the southern side's strength had increased to such a terrifying degree. It now had 12 million soldiers, seven million more than before, and 100 system main cities were participating. They gave off a heaven-toppling aura as they slowly advanced towards the Martial Province, which was the Martial Peace region.
Now, Qin was in quite a bit of danger because Qin only had 19 million soldiers, and it was only with the northern side that it had subdued. Moreover, 15 million of them were Stage 1 soldiers, and four million of them were not even at Stage 1 yet, yet it was facing 30 million Stage 1 soldiers.
Facing the eastern and western sides, Zhao Fu had sent out 14 million soldiers, but he had never thought that the southern side, which had been the weakest, would become the strongest.
Right now, Qin only had five million soldiers, and it would be quite difficult for it to face 12 million soldiers.
The eastern and western sides were not very advantageous for Great Qin either. Their forces were weaker than the other side's two million soldiers, and this was especially so in terms of City Lords. Great Qin had ten or so fewer City Lords than the other side. City Lords were top-tier forces and were incredibly important on the battlefield.
However, Qin only had five million soldiers and 37 City Lords, while the southern side had 12 million soldiers and 100 terrifying City Lords.
"Your Majesty! The situation is quite dire; should we ask the City Lords who were willing to join Qin to help? " Li Si stepped forward and suggested.
Bai Xihan coldly harrumphed, "How could they come? Do you think they don't know how many factions are attacking Qin? They want to see Qin's true strength. If he can defend against this crisis, they'll definitely join. If he can't, they'll naturally give up on joining Qin! "
Li Si thought about it and understood. He sighed.
After a while, he made up his mind and said, "I'll deal with Great Qin's southern side. I only need ten City Lords and one million Stage 1 soldiers, but all of the Stage 2 and above soldiers will be sent to the southern side. The remaining soldiers will be sent to the eastern and western sides."
"Also, Li Si, gather some militia to guard the northern side in case the Vietnamese side does anything!"
Hearing that Zhao Fu only wanted ten City Lords and one million soldiers, Li Si felt that it would be too difficult to defend against 12 million soldiers and 100 City Lords, so he said, "Your Majesty, it's quite difficult. Did he really only bring so few people? Isn't it a little too little? I'm worried about your safety! "
Zhao Fu said with a resolute gaze, "The eastern and western sides are at a disadvantage, and the soldiers and City Lords from the southern side are no weaker than those from the eastern and western sides. Adding on the terrain, it won't be a problem to defend against the attacks from both sides. I'll take care of the southern side!"
Seeing that Zhao Fu's decision could not be changed, Li Si could only follow Zhao Fu's orders.
Zhao Fu gave out orders, and the entirety of Qin became incredibly tense. This was the first major battle after the Great Wall had been built, and it was also the first defensive battle. As such, all of the departments in Qin City stopped everything else and worked together to create military supplies to support the battle.
…
The eastern side of Qin City was the Province of Leaf, which was filled with fog all year round. It was a swampy area, and the ground was filled with mud. It was difficult for ordinary people to walk, and it was easy for them to get lost.
In order to build the Great Wall, they had spent a lot of time here. They first had to find things that could give them directions to prevent them from getting lost, and then they had to turn the muddy ground into rocks to build the Great Wall. The Great Wall was built in the center of the Province of Leaf.
With Bai Qi personally taking charge of the situation, the soldiers and City Lords from the southern side now had ten million soldiers and 90 City Lords, which was about the same as the soldiers from the eastern side. As such, they did not have to worry too much.
The ten million soldiers from the eastern side gave off an aura that shook the surrounding 100 kilometers as they flooded towards the Province of Leaf. Even from far away, Bai Qi could sense them, and he gave the order for the army to be on guard.
The 90 City Lords flew in the sky and looked at the fog in front of them, making it difficult for them to see Ye Province. They worked together to create a powerful gale that blew away the fog, and the soldiers below scattered a large amount of things into the ground, causing the ground to harden and prevent the soldiers from falling into the fog.
The system main city army advanced step by step, and soon, the two sides met. Even though the two sides did not directly fight, the two massive auras caused the surroundings to become quite heavy, making it difficult to breathe. Under these two auras, ordinary people would not even be able to stand up.
Seeing that there were almost as many soldiers on the Great Wall as they did, the eastern side's City Lords frowned. The three sides had already contacted each other and were attacking together, and Qin definitely did not have the soldiers to defend.
However, it seemed that the situation was completely different. Qin's forces on the eastern side were not any weaker than theirs, and they did not know what the situation was like on the other two sides. Why did Qin have so many soldiers?
By now, there was no path of retreat – Qin was becoming more and more powerful, and as long as the City Lords submitted, Qin would take the initiative to attack. When that time came, they would not be able to defend at all, so it was better to deal a heavy blow to Qin.
The two sides were 10,000 meters away from each other, and there was a muddy area between them. The City Lords gave the order to continue hardening the ground before attacking.
Seeing that they were hardening the ground, Bai Qi of course did not allow them to do as they wished. After all, this was Qin's geographical advantage, and if they dealt with it so easily, Qin would not have as much of an advantage.
Swish, swish, swish …
After entering the attacking range, Bai Qi ordered his soldiers to attack, and powerful ballista bolts tore through the air as they flew towards the system main city army.
The system main city army had long since been prepared, and rows of Shieldbearers held their large shields, forming a shield wall.
Bang, bang, bang …
Thick ballista bolts descended from the sky like raindrops, slamming into the shield wall and causing massive sounds to ring out.
What the City Lords did not expect was that these ballista bolts were incredibly powerful, and even the Shieldbearers who were holding shields with both hands felt as if they had been hit by a massive force. Even though they were not injured, they were forced back a few steps, and some of them stumbled and fell to the ground.
