ONE WIN WILL NOT DEFINE WHO WONS THE WAR

The smell of the dead had completely fumigated them had penetrated to the depths of the souls of these newly trained soldiers

They set up camps outside all the cities that stood within Shu, Ba and Qin which were the cities close to the enemy state and could be attacked.

A week after the arrival of reinforcements, the first wave of soldiers attacked a small town within Shu, the soldiers prepared for battle.

But winning a battle does not define who will win the war.

The months passed under little enemy activity when news caught them unnoticed.

A letter from the soldiers from the Ba's main city camp has just arrived with disturbing news.

the enemy soldiers were approaching Ba little by little but in great numbers.

******************

the day of the meeting arrived.

For many of the soldiers this was their first battle.

The enemy's cavalry came at full speed with spears and bows ready, the Shu knights attacked the legs of the horses causing them to collapse brutally to the ground creating a domino chain with all the soldiers.

There was no moment to lose so they began to cut everything that fell to the ground, the battle began.

Men against men one with spears against others with swords but they did not waver, they smashed enemy spears and attacked with the sword piercing enemy chests, without any remorse as they had done.

The blood began to drain from the bodies and weapons of Shu's soldiers. This attack had been successfully suppressed.

The soldiers were in high spirits after this failed attempt by the enemy, and for their part there were no significant casualties on Shu's soldiers.

The small number of soldiers guarding the city of entry into Ba were very few compared to the vast enemy army.

When the clouds came as an omen the gallop of the soldiers became intense, the rain from one moment to another was a deluge.

The soldiers lined up at the entrance, previously they had put ropes and pikes on the ground to take down as many as possible and to make time for reinforcements.

but they were too many, they did not expect such large numbers, more than they expected, even with reinforcements, they would considerably outnumber them.
