There were originally 100,000 troops stationed in the border city. Xu Sancai entered the city and reorganized the regular legions to reinforce the five border towns adjacent to Dongling Kingdom with 50,000 troops. However, the elite legions were seriously damaged and were reorganized into six legions. The wounded soldiers were left alone.
He stayed in the city to recuperate, while the six elite legions rested for two days and gathered in the border city adjacent to the north of Dongling Kingdom. [fei su zw26nbsp;]
Xu Sancai also accompanied the elite legion, and Wu Jinguo's troops were also reorganized, plus the troops that originally surrounded and received Wu Jinguo, forming a regular army of nearly 400,000, leaving 100,000 to guard the western border city, and the remaining nearly 300,000 were sent to
It was moved to the northern border city that intersected with the Dongling Kingdom. In the end, the Qin Dynasty had more than 700,000 troops and surrounded the Dongling Kingdom.
King Dongling also soon learned that the 100,000-strong expeditionary force had been wiped out. He was furious but had scruples. Being able to annihilate the 100,000-strong Dongling Kingdom army, even though there were only 20,000 elite troops, also showed the strength of the Qin army.
Strength should not be underestimated. King Dongling had to re-evaluate the strength of the Qin State. Although the war did not cease, he secretly mobilized three more elite legions for reinforcements.
The equipment of the elite troops of the Dongling Kingdom is still superior to that of the Great Qin Kingdom. Even the commanders have magic pattern weapons and a variety of large siege equipment. They are also equipped with flying Warcraft scouts. Among the siege troops, there is also a magician.
Ling personally took action, and more than half of the Dongling Kingdom's troops were concentrated in the west.
The Great Qin State concentrated 200,000 regular troops in the western border city. Although it was still completely suppressed by the Dongling State troops, it was difficult for the Dongling State to capture the heavily defended border city. After all, with the assistance of city wall fortifications, the defenders
It is much easier to conquer a city than to attack it, and the cost of attacking a city is also much higher.
Just when the Dongling Kingdom was focusing its main efforts on the west, Xu Sancai sent surprise troops to infiltrate several counties and cities in the northern part of the Dongling Kingdom. The copper coins in the Dongling Kingdom had not been solved yet, and they no longer dared to use them.
Paper currency was replaced and those banknotes were declared invalid. The domestic turmoil forced the Tangling Kingdom to station regular troops in every county and city to take charge of public security and suppress riots.
Therefore, there are only 30,000 garrison troops in the five border cities in other directions of Dongling Kingdom. Originally, each border city had an elite legion, but now an elite legion has been recruited from the north and south to strengthen the offensive in the west.
Each border city only has half an elite legion, which is when its relative strength is weak.
Xu Sancai mobilized troops frequently during this period, and Wang Youcai's intelligence agency also focused on eliminating spies in the territory, capturing some of the spies sent by the Dongling Kingdom, and also discovered several members of the Dongfang Family's Pigeon Group. Although most of those people were
The flying monster escaped, but it did greatly reduce the number of spies in the territory, and it was difficult for Dongling Kingdom to obtain accurate information for a while.
Xu Sancai led his elite troops and 300,000 troops in two groups, and took advantage of the darkness to attack two northern border cities of Dongling Kingdom at the same time. With the elite troops mixed in in advance as internal agents, the troops easily occupied one city gate, and the rest
It's very simple. Although the Dongling troops are relatively strong individually, their numbers are ten times different, so the result is doomed.
Although Dongling State is a large country, the lack of copper coins has brought a lot of inconvenience to the domestic people's lives. More importantly, the replacement banknotes issued by Dongling State twice were declared invalid, which made residents complain about Dongling State.
The development of the Qin Kingdom and the prosperity of the people were deliberately publicized. After the border towns were occupied, the residents expressed their welcome one after another. The work of pacifying the residents of the county and city went extremely smoothly, and the king's father also mobilized a large amount of copper coins and immediately invested them in the two buildings.
border town.
King Dongling did not expect that the Qin Kingdom would dare to attack. The occupation of the two border cities caught the Dongling military off guard. They quickly mobilized troops from other counties and cities to defend the northern counties and asked the counties adjacent to the border cities to close the city.
They waited for reinforcements at the gate. However, Xu Sancai would not give King Dongling time to mobilize his troops. On the day they occupied the two border cities, the army seemed to march from the interior of Dongling Kingdom.
Although there are regular troops left in each county and city of Dongling Kingdom, they are only about 10,000, and Xu Sancai has already let elite surprise attack teams sneak into the inner counties and cities. The outside siege troops are pretending to attack at the gates on both sides.
With the cooperation of the surprise attack team, the elite army suddenly attacked and occupied a city gate, so it was natural that they could easily capture the entire county.
In one day, in addition to the two border cities, the Great Qin army captured four inland counties and cities in succession. The defense of the northern territory of Dongling Kingdom was almost useless. Even during the siege, some residents of the counties and cities took the initiative to help the Great Qin army, winning six consecutive battles.
Although it is a county and city, the casualties of the Great Qin Kingdom were only over 10,000 people, but the surrender troops of Dongling exceeded 50,000 people.
Of course, this aspect is due to the lack of actual combat experience of the Dongling Army, but more importantly, the absolute gap in the number of troops. The 10,000 defenders were surrounded by tens of thousands of people, completely losing the possibility of escaping, and stubborn resistance was the only way to die.
The Qin State has always treated prisoners preferentially, and the combination of various factors made the Dongling troops choose to surrender far more than the die-hards.
Although the Qin army was relatively exhausted after even defeating six cities, with high morale, they marched through the night and occupied four more counties and cities during the night. When the reinforcements from the Dongling Kingdom arrived in the northern territory, the Qin Kingdom had already captured
Ten counties and cities. Although the Dongling Kingdom mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to reinforce the defense of the north, they could only defend three counties and cities, and were unable to counterattack and recapture the lost counties and cities.
Xu Sancai asked 300,000 regular troops to guard three new counties and cities adjacent to the Dongling Kingdom. After three days of rest, he led his elite troops to move to the east of the Dongling Kingdom again. Sun Tzu's Art of War said: Those who attack must win.
, attack what is not defended. Although every border city in the Dongling Kingdom has sent troops to defend it, under the division of troops, the defensive strength of any place is relatively weak.
Xu Sancai focused all his elite troops on the attack. I am dedicated to one, and the enemy is divided into ten, so attack one of them with ten. Be prepared in front and the rear will be weak, be prepared in the rear and the front will be weak, be prepared on the left and be right, and be behind the right.
Zuowi. Dongling Kingdom currently focuses its defense on the north, while the defense in the east has fallen into a weak state. The two elite troops from the east have all been transferred to the north for reinforcements. He is now going to lead the elite army to fight in the eastern territory, and will defend the territory.
The weak eastern counties and cities were captured one by one.
The reason why Xu Sancai rested for three days was to give the elite troops responsible for the surprise attack an opportunity to sneak into those counties and cities. Although the Dongling Kingdom was in a state of distress, it was unable to completely close the city gates. There was a lack of copper coins circulating in the city, so many shops were semi-closed.
Due to the current situation, many daily necessities must be replenished from outside the city at any time. Otherwise, even the basic life of the residents in the county has become a problem.
