Time flies like an arrow, the sun and the moon fly by, and another year flies by in the blink of an eye.

After eradicating the remaining parties of the Six Kingdoms, Great Qin became much more stable. Under Fusu's governance, the people and the army were able to recuperate and live a relaxed life for a few days.

However, the good times did not last long, and a war report from the south suddenly broke the hard-won peace.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the southern border of Da Qin has been violently attacked by powerful enemies, and the situation is critical!"

After hearing this report, Fusu, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly changed his expression and asked: "Where is the enemy army and how many troops are there?"

The former replied: "The specific origin is not clear yet. It should be a clan from the southwest of Daqin. The specific military strength has not been identified yet, but according to the investigation, it should be no less than 300,000!"

Hearing this, Fusu couldn't help but frown. Three hundred thousand enemy troops was no longer a small number, and they were attacking the south, which had weaker defenses.

The situation is not optimistic, and arrangements need to be made as soon as possible...

In a majestic palace, Ying Zheng, who had already retreated to the second line, saw his son coming in a hurry and said, "I see you are walking in a hurry, but what happened?"

After hearing this, Fusu told everything that happened on the southern border. Although the empire was now in his hands, he still had to ask for advice on such a big matter before he could feel at ease.

Upon hearing the news, Ying Zheng's expression moved slightly but he did not show the slightest panic. He had seen too many battles and would not be disturbed by this.

Then he said: "How do you plan to deal with it?"

After Fusu thought for a moment, he replied with a serious face: "The enemy has dispatched at least 300,000 troops, and they are well-disciplined and powerful.

But we know very little about this alien army, and it is likely that we will fall into a passive position. To defeat it, we will probably need at least 400,000 troops."

At this point, his tone paused slightly, and then continued: "Although our Daqin has millions of lions, most of them are scattered in various places with their own tasks. It may not be easy to mobilize so many people in a short period of time."

Today's Qin State claims to have millions of troops, but there is a certain amount of moisture in this million-strong army. It is the number after taking into account some auxiliary soldiers and other miscellaneous things.

Just like the actual regular army, there are about 700,000 people.

Although on the surface, 700,000 compared to 300,000 can be completely crushed, but the superficial data does not represent the actual results.

First of all, the Qin army can be roughly divided into three levels. Among them, ordinary soldiers are the largest, and there are more than 500,000 of the existing 700,000 troops.

There are also more than 100,000 elite troops, such as Meng Tian's golden fire cavalry and Wang Li's hundreds of armor-piercing troops.

It can be said that these armies are all truly elite soldiers. Whether facing the Macedonian phalanx or the elite legions of the Mauryan Dynasty, they all have the capital to fight head-on and can definitely fight against them.

In addition, Great Qin also has a group of elites among the elites, namely the Qin Ruishi who are famous in the Seven Kingdoms.

Qin Ruishi has made great military exploits since its establishment. Although it only has tens of thousands, it has extremely strong combat capability and deterrence, which is completely different from the army in the ordinary sense.

In particular, the three thousand Iron Eagle swordsmen were so arrogant that they could even defeat those so-called foreign warriors who were one in a hundred or one in a thousand. The only pity was that the number of this army was too small.

In general, although Da Qin currently has a lot of troops, they are not generous. First of all, there are always 100,000 troops stationed in the west to guard against the Yueshi and other tribes.

At the local level, each county has thousands of garrison troops. Now the Qin State is divided into forty counties, which requires more than 100,000 troops to garrison.

Wang Li's tens of thousands of battle-hardened armor-piercing soldiers need to defend the capital and cannot be easily mobilized.

As a result, the total number of these inconveniently mobilized troops has reached 300,000. In other words, under this situation, only 400,000 more troops can be mobilized at most.

Fusu also understood this situation and put forward his thoughts.

Ying Zheng thought for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "There are still 200,000 troops on Mengtian's side, which can be transferred as a vanguard force to stabilize the situation. There are still 100,000 troops on Guowei's side who are training, and they can also be mobilized in a few days.

.

In addition, I have 50,000 Qin warriors and 2,000 Iron Eagle warriors who are also under Meng Tian's command."

Although the throne has now been passed to Fusu, as the founding monarch of the Qin Dynasty, the Iron Eagle Swordsmen still obey his orders.

This army only has a total of three thousand, but this time it sent most of them directly, which shows that it is also very optimistic about this war.

Hearing this, Fusu also nodded. The number of Qin Ruisi was not large to begin with, and these 50,000 men already accounted for 89% of them.

The total number of these casualties is more than 300,000, and there are many elites. The remaining part must be kept for emergencies. Being able to mobilize an army of this size is already considered very good.

Although they did not use all the strength of the country, they still used 70% of their strength, which was enough to fight against the alien army.

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and said: "Father has made proper arrangements. With the help of these 50,000 Qin Rui soldiers and Iron Eagle swordsmen, the chance of winning this war can be increased to 90%."

When Ying Zheng heard this, his eyes flashed and he said: "Ninety percent is not enough, I want 100%!

This war is very important, and it is against a foreign race. Whether it is for the foundation of Qin or for the dignity of China, it cannot be lost.

Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, China has never been defeated in battles with foreigners. If I were weaker in this battle, how could I have the dignity to call myself the First Emperor?

Therefore, Great Qin can only win this battle, not lose!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes shone brightly. Although he was over fifty years old, his domineering attitude was still unparalleled.

"My son understands!"

Fusu responded and quickly expressed his position: "A sword can become sharper only through constant tempering. Hanging it on the wall will only lose its sharpness over time."

"We, the warriors of Great Qin, also need more battles to transform and become stronger!"

Seeing the light shining in his eyes, Ying Zheng also nodded. Now Fusu finally has some of the courage he had when he was young. When this battle is over, he can rest assured that he will completely entrust the empire...

A few days later, Meng Tian led a mighty army towards southern Xinjiang. Although he looked forward to the stability of his home and country, he was not afraid of war.
