However, the road ahead of the coalition forces is a long uphill slope, and the transport of horses in the fire has basically been out of control. Not to mention the rapid advance of materials, vehicles are even unable to move forward. [】The general of the coalition forces knows the importance of materials, but they cannot
Giving up easily can only urge the soldiers of the army to put out the fire, push and pull supplies, vehicles, and horses forward.
The trees on both sides of the avenue were also burning at this time. The big trees on both sides of the road, which had been half cut down, fell to the avenue in the fire. Of course, these trees were not too late to cut down, but were deliberately done, and all the cuts were cut.
It was aimed at the avenue. The big tree was more than ten meters tall. If a big tree fell, half of the avenue could be blocked.
The big trees on both sides of the road were burning with a raging fire and turned to the road. Not to mention the supplies, even the cavalry could not pass. When the coalition general had to give up saving the supplies, the fire had completely covered more than twenty miles.
The avenue and the woods on both sides were completely trapped in the sea of fire, and it was difficult for soldiers to break through, and a large number of soldiers had already suffered casualties.
It is not that the coalition generals are indecisive, but that these materials are the foundation of the army's survival. There are also coalition forces in the border town waiting for food while hungry. The daily food required by the 160,000 army is as high as 200,000 to 300,000 kilograms. This time, they are escorted with the army.
The food is as many as tens of millions of kilograms. If it is destroyed, even if it is re-enlisted from the country, it will not be solved in a short time.
Therefore, the general of the coalition forces refused to give up the supplies, but it delayed the best time for the troops to break through. As a result, the fire completely surrounded the coalition forces. The forests on both sides were already a sea of fire, so they naturally could not pass, and the road had already fallen.
It is difficult to cut off the tree, rush forward and retreat backward, so the troops can only be divided into two groups to break through from the front and back.
Water and fire are ruthless. Amid the raging fire and the thick smoke, the coalition forces have suffered more than one-third of the casualties, the troops are completely in chaos, and the fire is even more vigorous. At this time, even if you want to break through, it will be difficult. And the front and back of the road appeared.
The Qin troops brought greater difficulties to the coalition forces that broke through.
The coalition forces that escaped from the sea of fire were already defeated by the remnants. Most of them had light or severe burns on their bodies, and basically all the war horses were lost. Even the weapons were thrown to the rear of the enemy.
There were 60,000 elite troops, and in front of the enemy were 100,000 regular troops. The enemy who escaped from the sea of fire had no intention of fighting and could only choose to surrender and save their lives.
The 160,000 coalition forces, plus a large amount of supplies, were destroyed halfway. Of course, a large area of trees became buried with them. Moreover, the coalition forces suffered heavy casualties and were burned down. Although the Qin army suffered almost no losses, they were wiped out.
The coalition forces came to rescue, but these losses made Xu Sancai feel a pity.
Of course, this time it was a complete victory for the Qin army. Because of this loss, the Three Kingdoms could not send new troops in a short period of time. The coalition forces on the front line and border towns were trapped due to food shortage and could not break through. After persisting for three days, they continued to do so.
The soldiers were already hungry and had to surrender.
In just a few days, the Three Kingdoms coalition forces were defeated and were no longer able to organize a large army to attack the Great Qin State. At this time, the Great Qin State first issued a direct edict to Huang Lin State. With the lessons of the previous situation, he saw the great defeat of the Three Kingdoms coalition forces. Huang
King Lin immediately chose to surrender wisely, and Donglin Kingdom also bordered the expanded Qin Kingdom directly.
Donglin Kingdom only has 100,000 regular troops. Although nearly 100,000 troops were urgently recruited across the country, they were all new troops that lack training. Xu Sancai asked the 300,000 regular troops and 70,000 elite troops to gather together with Donglin Kingdom.
The two border cities bordered by Donglin Kingdom were naturally panicked and hurriedly mobilized the troops to the border cities and asked Dongling Kingdom to come forward to mediate.
Donglin State has 17 county cities, which originally needed troops to guard, but now the troops are at an absolute disadvantage compared to the Qin State, so they can only concentrate their troops to two border cities to defend with all their strength. Xu Sancai led 200,000 troops and 70,000 elite troops.
The troops sent troops in a mighty manner. After arriving at Donglin Border City, the troops surrounded the border city, but did not rush to attack.
Xu Sancai's actions were just superficial. While his troops surrounded the border city, he was only a hundred miles away from the nearest inner county town. He had already sent surprise attack troops to infiltrate several county towns, and siege the border city with great fanfare during the day and led elite troops overnight.
He rushed to three county towns.
Since the troops of Donglin Kingdom were concentrated in the border towns, there were only one thousand guards in the inner county towns, the elite troops captured three county towns almost without any blood. Xu Sancai let the subsequent 100,000 troops take over the three new occupations respectively.
After resting for two days, he sent troops again, and captured three more county cities overnight. The capital of Donglin Kingdom was exposed to the Qin Kingdom.
The capital of Donglin Kingdom only has only 10,000 imperial guards. The King of Donglin did not expect that the Qin troops would bypass the border city and attack the internal county city from a long distance, and were already at the city. In great panic, they repeatedly asked Dongling Kingdom for help.
The four gates were also closed and the army from the border city was mobilized to return to the capital.
The two border cities of Donglin Kingdom were besieged by the Qin troops. Although the number of troops was equivalent, all the Qin troops were regular troops, while half of the Donglin Kingdom troops were new troops. Moreover, they could not give up the two border cities at will, so they were still left.
Twenty thousand defenders. At the beginning of the plan, Xu Sancai foresaw that the Donglin Kingdom would inevitably mobilize a large army to return to aid, allowing the troops to build fortifications in the direction of the enemy's return, and blocked the enemy's army in the border town.
Xu Sancai sent troops outside the capital and divided 30,000 troops to attack three county cities overnight, and then sent envoys to surrender to King Donglin. King Donglin already knew that the army was blocked and could not return to the border city, and with the 10,000 imperial guards, they could not defend the enemy to death.
, and the Dongling Kingdom could not send troops to intervene, so for its own safety, it could only choose to surrender.
Xu Sancai's elite troops were not seriously injured, but tens of thousands of troops intercepting the enemy troops in the two border cities were killed and injured. However, after King Donglin surrendered, the enemy troops in the border cities and other county cities surrendered without bloodshed.
Qin State, coupled with the previous coalition surrendered troops, was replenished. Including the wounded soldiers, the number of regular soldiers increased by nearly 100,000 more than before.
While Xu Sancai was recruiting the troops of Donglin Kingdom and taking over the county town, he surrendered to three small countries originally under Donglin Kingdom. Even Donglin Kingdom chose to surrender, and the three small countries naturally knew that they were unable to resist, so they had to surrender to the Qin Dynasty one after another.
The envoy of the Dongling Kingdom had already traveled to several counties and cities in the capital and front lines of the Great Qin Kingdom, but he never saw him. At this time, he summoned the envoy in the capital of the Donglin Kingdom.
