After this heavy blow, the general of the coalition army naturally reduced his confidence. He used communication equipment to ask King Dongshi whether to withdraw his troops first. [26nbsp;] But another coalition army was defeated. If the troops were withdrawn, not only would the tasks assigned by the Dongfang family be unable to be completed, but the Linyue Kingdom also lost several county cities, and the eldest prince was even killed in the hands of the Qin Kingdom. How could the King Dongshi be willing to do so? Therefore, on the one hand, the coalition army continued to besiege the county city as planned, on the other hand, mobilized supplies, and at the same time organized additional reinforcements to increase investment.
However, most of the troops of the Dongshi Kingdom had already been invested in the coalition, and 80% of the troops of the Linyue Kingdom and the Dongshi Kingdom participated in the coalition. The Dongshi Kingdom could only add reinforcements from other vassal states. Of course, the other two vassal states of the Dongshi Kingdom also heard about the coalition's defeat, so they naturally did not want to trek into this muddy water.
Moreover, the two countries are hundreds of miles away from Yueshan area, and even if they send reinforcements, they cannot arrive quickly within one or two days. Dongshi Kingdom can only dispatch troops and supplies while urging troops from the two vassal states, and at the same time, they demand that Linyue Kingdom and Dongshi Kingdom organize all the remaining troops into the war.
After receiving the order, the main general of the coalition forces had to obey the order. The coalition forces arrived at the county town the next day and dispatched troops to surround the county town. However, the main general of the coalition forces also knew that forcing the troops to defend the city would only make them defend the city to the death, so they only surrounded the three sides of the siege. Even if they forced the troops of the Qin Kingdom to retreat, the coalition forces could enter the city to rest and recuperate and wait for the materials they mobilized.
Although this county town was just taken away from the Linyue Kingdom and had no time to strengthen the fortifications and recruit rolling stones, Kobayashi City was originally a border town, and the fortifications were stronger and taller than the inland county town. However, there were only 60,000 troops in the city, and facing the 200,000 coalition forces, they were naturally at a disadvantage.
Fortunately, most of the coalition siege equipment had been destroyed, which weakened the enemy's offensive. For the time being, it can be defended by the city wall fortifications. However, all the 100,000 regular troops guarding the border city had been dispatched, including ten thieves and 50 war spirits, who commanded the troops to continue to harass the coalition after the coalition and followed them to the vicinity of Kobayashi Castle.
According to Xu Sancai's instructions, the troops only took turns to harass them and kept a certain distance from the enemy. Each time, only two legions stepped forward to attack, while the other troops set up formations in the rear. The four legions behind the coalition hall relied on a large number of people to chase and kill the two legions that were harassing. As a result, they were defeated by the eight legions that had been prepared, and eventually lost two cavalry legions.
The main general of the Dongshi coalition had no choice but to let the remaining 60,000 cavalry and 20,000 spearmen defend the rear of the troops to defend against the 100,000 Qin army. Although these troops did not invest in the attack, they also restrained a large amount of military strength. The most troublesome thing was the shortage of food and grass. The remaining food of the coalition was only enough to maintain for three or four days, which was also the reason why the main general did not seek to completely annihilate the Qin army.
From the coalition forces deployed troops to siege Xiaolin City to the start of the attack, Xu Sancai and a thief Zhanzong were reconnaissing the enemy's movements at high altitudes. Although the main general was experienced, with the current coalition forces, after the coalition forces were fully invested in the siege, the defense behind the troops was inevitably relaxed.
At this time, the elite legion led by Xu Sancai was hiding more than ten miles behind the enemy's besieged troops camp. Although the enemy also sent scouts to investigate the rear area, they only had a range of several miles, but did not find hidden elite troops. He reconnaissed three times at a high altitude, confirmed the enemy's arrangement, and detoured back to the hidden position of the troops.
The enemy general naturally attached great importance to the remaining materials. In addition to distributing some of the food and siege equipment, the remaining materials were stored in the main business area. The main business not only had an infantry army to defend it, but also an elite guard of thousands of people. From the situation of sneak attacking the material troops, the main general naturally knew that the cultivation of Xu Sancai and the five others was at least high-level battle spirits, and did not dare to be careless at all.
Xu Sancai's goal was to attack the main business of the coalition. Although the main business had a strong defense, it was not enough to block the elite legions led by the five Zhanzongs. On the one hand, he wanted to try his best to preserve the effective strength of the troops, and on the other hand, he also wanted to weaken the enemy's strength as much as possible. It would be easier to defeat this coalition force and capture the Linyue Kingdom.
Xu Sancai did not act immediately, but let the troops rest on the spot. Although the enemy troops who defeated the pursuing Zhan Sect did not cause much casualties, the enemy was now well prepared and would inevitably suffer a considerable loss under strong attacks. The enemy troops currently only had 100,000 people. Although the number of troops was far greater than that of the defending city, due to the shortage of siege equipment, Kobayashi City is still very safe for the time being. The casualties of the defending city and siege city exceeded one to five, and most of them were injured, which could consume the enemy's vitality.
But two days later, Xu Sancai received the information from Wang Youcai. Dongshiguo organized another 100,000 coalition forces and mobilized a large amount of food and grass to set off from Dongshiguo. He could reach Kobayashi City in three to five days. In this way, he could no longer delay and immediately organized troops to attack the main coalition forces that night.
During these two days, the 100,000 cavalry troops were still harassing and attacking every day. Among the 100,000 cavalry, more than 10,000 troops were proficient in cavalry and shooting, and these people attacked from a distance every day. The enemy archers were all involved in the siege, and only a small number of cavalry could mount a cavalry and shoot counterattack, and the enemy did not dare to rush out to counterattack, so they could only defend passively, so they were naturally very passive.
The enemy's siege troops suffered greater losses. The two-day strong attack caused nearly 30,000 soldiers to be killed or killed. The defending troops rely on the city wall fortifications, only thousands of injured and the death toll was only more than 300. With the current efforts invested by the enemy, they could not break through Kobayashi City at all.
That night, Xu Sancai and four Zhan Zongs led two teams of thousands of people to touch the enemy camp quietly. The five people personally took action to solve the enemy's post. The troops quietly approached about one mile from the enemy camp and immediately launched an attack at full speed. He took the lead and rushed straight into the enemy's main camp.
Although the general of the coalition forces knew that reinforcements were coming, they did not relax their vigilance. However, the soldiers were inevitably slacking off, especially at night when they were resting, and the secret whistles sent were quietly killed. It was not until the Qin troops launched a charge that the enemy issued an alarm, awakening the sleeping general and soldiers.
At a distance of one mile, the cavalry charged at full speed, only one or two minutes. The enemy didn't have time to wear neatly, let alone arrange the formation. Although there were troops on duty, the number was only about one thousand people, distributed around the main business in the form of a 100-man team. Before there was time to assemble, the elite troops had already rushed into the main business.
