I switched allegiance to Zhang Han and rebuilt the Qin Dynasty; Liu Bang was heartbroken.

Building upon the legacy of six generations, the Qin army unified the world, and the fear it instilled in the world was truly profound.

Even a genius like Chen Ping found it incredibly difficult to handle.

However, the Qin army alone gave him a feeling of not knowing where to begin.

Make bricks without straw.

After the main force of the Wei army left, it seemed that there were still 70,000 soldiers left. In reality, these people had just been recruited and their combat strength and morale were practically nonexistent.

Faced with such a strong Qin state, they seemed to be covered in thorns, and anyone who charged at them was left with a bloody head.

How can we break this deadlock?

"Unless the General marches into Guanzhong now."

Chen Ping didn't know why such a thought had popped into his mind at this moment.

Has the Qin state become so powerful that Xiang Yu had to personally intervene to suppress it?

This is the Qin Dynasty, which was destroyed and is in the process of recovery. It has not yet been able to re-establish itself as a country, yet it is already causing such a headache.

"Everyone in the world has underestimated the Qin army."

Looking at the starry sky tonight, Chen Ping suddenly felt even more uneasy, as if something big was about to happen tonight!

"Report~"

Amidst a flurry of hurried footsteps, came the devastating news.

"Reporting to my lord, news has arrived from the north that the Wei army was attacked at night, suffered a crushing defeat, and was completely annihilated!"

Chen Ping suddenly stood up, knocking over the table in front of him.

"Pfft."

The table was tumbling, and so was Chen Ping's heart pounding wildly.

"what are you saying?"

After receiving detailed information, Chen Ping's breathing became extremely heavy.

"Useless, stupid!"

Chen Ping had been in a very bad mood lately, and now he felt like his head was about to explode.

Twenty thousand Wei soldiers were ambushed and wiped out by ten thousand Qin soldiers.

It's like a joke, but it actually happened!

He had been thinking that the Wei army's northward advance and its stalemate with the Qin army could perhaps be seen as a way to weaken the Wei state and deplete the Qin state's strength.

Only now do I realize that I myself am a joke. How could I have trusted those foolish people from Wei?

"Furthermore, why has Lü Matong not appeared since I ordered him to assist in conquering Guanzhong?"

No one dared to look Chen Ping in the eye; his gaze was so sinister it seemed capable of freezing people to death.

"The Qin army is strong and has good strategies. General Lü Matong is called the Grand General of Yong, but who doesn't know that he is actually a man of the Hegemon?"

"They must have been targeted by the Qin people long ago, and it's hard to say whether they're still alive."

Enraged, Chen Ping slammed his fist into a support pillar inside the tent, instantly tearing his skin and flesh.

"asshole!"

Chen Ping practically spat out the order through gritted teeth: "Order the entire army to retreat immediately and go back."

Even if he was unwilling to admit it, this battle with the Qin army had already resulted in a humiliating defeat.

The strategy of the Three Kingdoms to attack Qin was a sweeping force. When they launched their campaign, they exerted endless pressure on Guanzhong. It seemed like an unsolvable open strategy, and their 90,000-strong army was unmatched.

However, the Qin army used the simplest and most brutal methods to break through directly.

Use force to defeat strategy, and strength to overcome all methods.

Or perhaps it wasn't about the methods, but rather that he underestimated the Qin army too much.

Their ambition to make a comeback is no less than their determination to unify the world by building upon the legacy of six generations.

The most amazing thing is how the Qin army's combat power suddenly became so fierce.

Unable to thwart his open scheme, they could only watch helplessly as the allied forces convened and marched towards Hangu Pass.

Then let's just deal with the people who participated in the alliance.

Chen Ping couldn't understand how the Qin army had managed it; he only knew that this battle could not continue.

After the defeat of the Wei army, even though he nominally still had Liu Bang's 30,000 allied troops, in reality they were on two separate battlefields, and he was already struggling to hold on alone.

Chen Ping had no hope that those useless people from Wei would be able to march south from Pingyang. If the Han army continued to be bogged down at Hangu Pass, it would be extremely dangerous, and they might very well be attacked from both sides.

Not long after Chen Ping issued his order, news came from the Allied Forces headquarters east of Hangu Pass.

The Qin army launched a surprise attack on the rear camp, catching the Han army off guard and causing them to suffer a crushing defeat. All the soldiers fled in disarray!

Chen Ping clutched his chest, nearly fainting with rage: "Damn it, how is that possible? Didn't the Qin army rest after annihilating the Wei army?"

Even if the Qin army wins a great victory in a major battle, they still need to rest and recover for a period of time afterward.

Are the Qin army all madmen? After defeating Wei, they immediately launched an attack on the Han army.

How can you fight a war like this?

Even the elite Chu army might not be able to withstand continuous combat.

If the army is not allowed to fight after the great battle, those scoundrels will dare to cause trouble right up to Xiang Yu.

The servant who came to report the news shrank back and said, "The ones attacking the camp are the Wei army. They suddenly returned and only made their move after entering the camp..."

Chen Ping's gaze went blank, all light gone from his eyes, except for a deafening roar that soared into the sky and echoed for a long time.

"Cai Yin!"

Chen Ping stared at the sky in despair, letting out heavy breaths, already unable to catch his breath.

So desperate.

This alliance was originally thought to be a decisive blow to the Qin state.

But the Qin state slapped them hard several times.

This was the third slap, and Chen Ping felt a sharp pain in his face.

"That bastard Cai Yin actually dared to surrender to the Qin army!"

Chen Ping had no doubt whatsoever about the other generals in the Wei army.

Cai Yin was indeed ambitious and eager for quick success, but he was quite capable.

The Qin army that attacked Hangu Pass in the past was also well-prepared.

He was certain that Cai Yin was ambushed on his way north and, seeing that there was no chance of victory, decisively surrendered.

After defeating Wei, the allied forces collapsed without a fight, and no one could stop Qin's resurgence.

Cai Yin was also an ambitious man, willing to take a big gamble.

The first blow in surrendering to the Qin state was aimed at a former ally!

"The Wei Kingdom's idiots!"

Chen Ping's overwhelming anger was finally condensed into these four words, which were truly indescribable in expressing his feelings at that moment.

The allied forces, which initially held the advantage, disintegrated due to the folly of the Wei state.

With Cai Yin joining them, these soldiers who were blocking the frontal attack on Guanzhong from the west of Hangu Pass had almost no chance of breaking out!

Besieged on all sides, they are doomed.

Chen Ping sat on the steps of the main tent, his eyes bloodshot as he pondered for a long time, and no one dared to disturb him.

After a long while, Chen Ping stood up, his expression extremely cold.

"Order the commander of Hangu Pass to immediately close the city gates and block the Qin army."

"Anyone who tries to undermine morale by blocking news of the failure to blockade the rear camp will be executed immediately."

"Order all soldiers to fight to the death! Whoever enters Guanzhong first will be made a king!"

The servant trembled slightly: "Are we preparing for a fight to the death?"

Chen Ping shook his head: "The South Korean army will not fight to the death."

This newly recruited South Korean army includes the elderly, the infirm, and the disabled; many of them don't even have weapons. It's unrealistic to expect much from such an army.

These 40,000 people were brought by Chen Ping to make up the numbers, and Chen Ping didn't care how much it cost.

Even if they all die, we can continue recruiting in South Korea.

In chaotic times, life is the least valuable thing.

Give them a little something, let them burn one last time.

A cold glint flashed in Chen Ping's eyes: "Let's go to the Han King's army."

The only place he can go now is one place. How can he set that army ablaze as well?
