Chapter 2573 Charlemagne Takes Command, Gun Saint Battles Heel

Bai Jian was tactful and, unlike Wei Liao, Wang Qi, and Ying Ji, did not directly oppose Ying Zheng. Instead, he outwardly supported him but inwardly opposed him.

Ying Zheng could naturally see through his true attitude, but he still wanted him to lead the army into battle.

However, Ying Zheng was still able to judge that Bai Jian was still superior to Ying Bei Mo, Ying Wu, and Li Xin in leading troops into battle.

At least on the surface, Bai Jian still supported him, so Ying Zheng naturally leaned more towards him.

However, just a few days later, Bai Jian fell seriously ill, so how could he still lead the army into battle?

Left with no other choice, Ying Zheng had to select someone else.

Wei Liao and Ying Bei Mo are old and frail. Although Ying Wu and Li Xin are also famous generals, they are still a bit inferior to the likes of Wang Qi and Bai Jian.

In the end, Ying Zheng had no choice but to let Wang Qi, who was not optimistic about this battle, take command.

Wang Qi had a tough personality, and among the opponents in the previous battle, he was the one who made Ying Zheng lose face the most.

Fortunately, although this person was tough, he was not as shrewd as Bai Jian. After Ying Zheng issued the order, even though he was an opponent, he did not disobey Ying Zheng's order.

Ying Zheng then appointed Wang Qi as general, Ying Beimo and Ying Dang as deputies, and mobilized all the major generals, including Ying Qing, Qin Niu, Mu Linye, Luo Hongxin, and Luo Shaowei, to launch a massive western expedition with a main force of 300,000 men, in alliance with the Persian Empire.

For the Qin Dynasty at this time, this was absolutely a battle that gambled on the fate of the nation. These 300,000 troops almost brought out all of the main forces in the Qin Dynasty, and the country was no longer just empty.

If the Great Wu had even the slightest idea, it could have completely destroyed the Great Qin from both the north and the east in an instant.

Ying Zheng was willing to take a gamble, betting that the Great Wu still wanted to keep them as a buffer between themselves and the Western Rong, as a barrier against the Western Rong.

Indeed, that was the case. After receiving news that the Qin Dynasty had launched a nationwide campaign, the Wu Dynasty did not respond to them.

After conquering Qin, there would be no real benefit for Da Wu. Once Qin was conquered, the border between Qin and the Western Rong would expand by nearly three times.

Unlike now, although it still borders the Western Rong, it is only a small part of them.

Moreover, even if the Western Rong wanted to launch an eastern expedition, they would not choose this direction. If this direction were used as a breakthrough point, the Western Rong's flank would be directly threatened by the Great Qin.

Therefore, if the Western Rong wanted to move eastward, their target would only be the Great Qin. Only after conquering the Great Qin could they obtain the conditions to peacefully advance into the Great Wu.

To put it bluntly, the gains from conquering Qin were not enough to cover the losses on their borders.

On the other hand, the Qin Dynasty, having allied with the Persian Empire, with one side advancing north and the other west, did indeed gain some advantage in the early stages of the war after the two forces joined together.

Especially at this time, Napoleon, as the greatest general of the Gallic Empire, was unable to personally lead troops to repel the enemy after ascending the throne due to internal problems. He needed to stay in the center to stabilize the internal situation.

However, the Gallic Empire had a solid foundation, and even without Napoleon's personal intervention, it still had no shortage of renowned generals capable of repelling the enemy.

Napoleon appointed Masséna as commander-in-chief and Davout as deputy commander-in-chief to lead the army against the Persian Empire to the south. Napoleon rose through the ranks from the bottom, and these two men, who had also followed him from the bottom, were his trusted confidants in the army.

Although the Qin Dynasty had a well-trained and powerful army, the Persian Empire, with its greater national strength, posed a greater threat to the Gallic Empire.

Napoleon deployed his elite forces along this route, including many of the Gallic Empire's most formidable generals.

Facing the Qin Dynasty, Napoleon appointed Charlemagne as the commander-in-chief and Surinov as the deputy commander to lead the troops to resist the Qin Dynasty in the east.

Although Charlemagne's military talent was not as great as Napoleon's, he was still quite capable; moreover, Napoleon had arranged for Surinov to assist him, so he was not worried about whether they could defeat the Qin Dynasty.

Among these people, only Surinov was not a system member, but a famous local general.

His father was once the greatest general of the Northern Kingdom, but he was defeated and killed during Alexander's expansion of the Macedonian Kingdom.

After that, Surinov, who was then in the army, was appointed to take over the heavy responsibility left by his father's defeat and death, and was put in charge of resisting the Macedonian Kingdom.

In the initial battle, due to the opponent's lack of understanding of Surinov, the Macedonian generals Antigonus and Seleucus were both defeated unexpectedly. Afterwards, Alexander personally intervened, but was unable to defeat him in a short period of time.

Unfortunately, he was powerless to change the situation in the Kingdom of Beidun on his own.

Just as Xuanyuan Huang briefly stopped Yue Fei, Lian Po briefly stopped Li Jing, and Wang Mufeng briefly stopped Ren Pingsheng, they could only block the enemy on a local battlefield, but they could not change the overall course of the battlefield.

In particular, the Kingdom of Northdon was not only facing pressure from the Kingdom of Macedonia on multiple fronts, but also from the Kingdom of Gaul behind them, which launched a large-scale military campaign.

After the Kingdom of Northdon was defeated by the siege of the two kingdoms, this man fell into the hands of the Kingdom of Gaul. Napoleon eventually persuaded him to join his cause by personally going to the prison.

The two major forces then engaged in a fierce battle.

Although the current national strength of the Gallic Empire is far from comparable to that of the Qin Dynasty, the Gallic Empire now has to maintain its internal stability, guard against the Macedonian Empire in the north, and resist the Persian Empire in the south.

Under these circumstances, the Gallic Empire, which was actually stronger on the surface, was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength when facing the Qin Dynasty, which had staked its national destiny on it.

It was precisely because of this that even when Charlemagne led his troops to the front, the Qin Dynasty still managed to maintain a slight advantage for a time.

Among the generals under both sides, Desais was unmatched on the battlefield. It took several fierce generals from the Qin Dynasty joining forces to stop him.

However, Achilles, the strongest general in the opposing army besides Desais, was ultimately defeated by Mulinye in their first battle after a fierce struggle.

Although they failed to capture the opponent, they ultimately managed to inflict minor injuries on him.

However, although Achilles was defeated, he also became famous in this battle.

After all, Mu Linye's strength is not bad. Even if he lost this battle, it was enough for him to jump into the Four Directions Fiends Ranking and get a pretty good ranking.
