Since the senior coalition leaders on the battlefield either died or surrendered, the low-level officers could not see the cultivation of Xu Sancai and the thieves Zhan Sect. [26nbsp;] However, the Zhan Sect of Dongshi Kingdom led a surprise attack and was wiped out, which made the head of the Dongfang family convinced that the Zhan Sect of the Great Qin State was secretly supported by the Zhan Sect. However, the strength of the troops of the Great Qin State was completely in line with the strength of the Yueshan area, which made the head of the family a little suspicious.
I don’t know the forces behind the Great Qin Kingdom. Although the Dongfang family is not afraid of any forces in the chaotic continent, they cannot ignore the alliance signed by the four major families and the eight temples, and it is not easy to directly interfere in the affairs of the Yueshan area. Of course, if it is possible to find out which force is supported by the Dongfang family, it can directly deal with the forces behind it, which is not considered to be involved in state affairs and is not within the restrictions of the covenant.
The head of the Dongfang family frowned and listened to the report of the middle-aged man who was called the head of the pigeon group. After pondering for a moment, he said: "You continue to investigate and be sure to find out the forces behind you. If necessary, you can send more people. But remember, don't make too much noise, don't be caught by those forces, and you can contact the other party when appropriate."
The middle-aged man immediately bowed and said "Abide by the order" and then retreated respectfully. The head of the family fell into deep thought again and said to himself: "Who is it? What is the purpose? Is it to test the limits of the Eastern family, or to force me to take the lead in breaking the covenant?"
A moment later, the head of the family showed a sneer on the corner of his mouth and said, "No matter who it is or what purpose it is, I have accepted it this time. I want to see who is so bold. Whether it is the old ghost of Ximen or the old monster of Nangong, if anyone dares to make small moves, I will definitely let you bear the anger of the Dongfang family. Humph, if you don't establish your authority, I really think that my Dongfang family is easy to bully."
The head of the Dongfang family speculated that the other three major families were secretly making trouble, and the Beihai family and the Dongfang family had relatively good personal relationships, so they targeted the other two families. Of course, without any evidence, the head of the Dongfang family would not easily turn against the two major families. Although the Dongfang family has a strong foundation, they can't get any advantage when they face the two major families.
Besides, the coalition forces of the Dongshi Kingdom immediately returned to the west when they found that there were not many garrisons in the county town behind them. At this time, Xu Sancai and Xu Ling'er had quietly left the county town and sneaked into the surrounded border town. The Thieves Guild had originally had six war sects and fifteen war spirits here, and the subsequent fifty war spirits and eight war sects also arrived one after another.
During the enemy's siege, due to sufficient preparations in advance, the troops in the city did not suffer much casualties, and even the elite legions did not participate in the battle. The thieves and war spirits felt the atmosphere of the battlefield on the front line and even took action to kill some enemy soldiers who were sieging the city. This was not a problem for them, but it was Xu Sancai's way of letting them feel the cruelty of the battlefield.
Xu Sancai rushed to this border town just to guess that the enemy would inevitably return to attack the county town, and he had to find a way to stop the coalition. The camp of more than 200,000 coalition forces in Dongshi Kingdom is nearly a hundred miles away from the county town, and most of the coalition forces are infantry. Although the coalition forces are not weak, the materials that a large-scale expeditionary force needs to transport are astronomical figures. Even Dongshi Kingdom does not have more vehicles to transport infantry.
Long-distance travel requires coordination of cavalry and infantry, as well as the transportation of a large number of materials. Moreover, the coalition forces belong to three countries, so the coordination is naturally more difficult. As long as there are any mistakes in this mobilization, it is Xu Sancai's chance to completely defeat the coalition forces. As long as the coalition forces are defeated, the three kingdoms will be greatly damaged, and the Qin Kingdom will naturally be much safer.
When the enemy began to mobilize, Xu Sancai immediately asked the three Zhan Sects with Fierce Wind Eagle to reconnaise at high altitudes. He also personally explored at high altitudes with a Zhan Sect. The enemy general's experience is rich, so it is naturally no problem to marching and deploying formations. However, the coalition is a coalition after all, and there are many inconveniences in cooperation, so the cooperation of the mixed troops is naturally worse.
Xu Sancai had already asked the Agricultural Reclamation Army to destroy the road from the Dongshi Alliance to the new county town in advance. Of course, this could not stop the coalition army from long. As a siege force, in addition to carrying a large amount of siege equipment, it would naturally be equipped with a large number of engineer soldiers. The speed of those engineer soldiers repairing the roads is not worse than that of the Agricultural Reclamation Army.
Xu Sancai's move was to make the enemy lose their flaws. More than 200,000 coalition forces were inevitably inconsistent during their march, and even some chaos might occur. When the Dongshi coalition began to withdraw, he asked the troops to attack. Behind the enemy's palace were four cavalry corps. He did not let the elite troops fight or fight desperately, but just kept harassing and attacking.
Xu Sancai did not personally command the troops. He and four Zhanzong and six Zhan spirits led the elite legion to the small road and quickly marched halfway. Although the trail was difficult to walk, the troops did not carry baggage, and the soldiers were all above the war division. Instead, they could also move quickly on the rugged trail, and soon they were interspersed with the necessary path for the coalition forces to return.
Because the coalition needed to continuously repair the damaged roads, most of them were infantry and carried a large amount of baggage, and the speed of travel was not fast. However, when the coalition passed through the hidden area of the elite troops, Xu Sancai did not let the troops attack, but hid in a forest thousands of miles away from the main road.
The coalition's opening line was four cavalry corps and sent a large number of scouts. Everything was in line and it was difficult to find an opportunity to take advantage of. Of course, Xu Sancai would not let the troops attack easily. Although the strength of the elite troops was still above the enemy, and there were several war sects and war spirits, the enemy was in the end, and he did not want the troops to lose easily.
Nearly a hundred miles away, the coalition forces stopped and stopped slowly, and they had only been marching for more than fifty miles until it was dark. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the coalition forces directly camped on the avenue to rest. The enemy's chief general did not underestimate the enemy at all. After camping, he immediately arranged scouts and mobile posts to monitor the range of several miles around the main road to avoid sudden attacks.
After dark, Xu Sancai took advantage of the darkness to investigate the battle spirits and sected the enemy's baggage in a high altitude, and then let the troops of the war spirits organize their troops to ambush. He and the four sects took advantage of the night to sneak into the central area where the enemy's baggage was located. More than 200,000 troops, thousands of vehicles were escorted to the transportation troops for several miles.
The coalition's transportation unit had four infantry corpses protecting both sides of the convoy, and did not relax the guard work during rest. Even if the elite corps attacked, as long as the four infantry corps could withstand a period of time, the cavalry corps in front and behind the team could quickly rush to rescue and attack on both sides. At that time, these materials would become bait.
