On the surface, the Eight Great Temples are naturally reasonable and restrain their subordinates to strictly abide by the covenant not to intervene in national wars. Even the Dongfang Family has nothing to do about it. [26nbsp;] But the Dongfang Family also has its own trump card. He secretly manipulates the countries in his territory.
, and also used various excuses to close the branches of the temple in the territory.
The branches of the temple are the foundation for the temple to recruit believers and gain faith. As the will of the main god, the instructions for the chaotic continent are to obtain the energy of faith at all costs. If the branches are really closed, it will naturally affect the temple's ability to obtain the power of faith.
, this kind of loss is unacceptable to the temple.
The temple suddenly fell into a disadvantage in this game, but the temple also realized that if it could not control the rights of the secular state, the development of the temple would always be restricted. Although the eight major temples also competed with each other, they encountered major events related to the development of the temple.
, the eight major temples still automatically united together.
Although the members of the Dongfang Family are also high-ranking members of the temple, the other three major families also have members in the temple. Now, for the long-term interests of the family, the three major families have united to resist the Dongfang Family's change of covenant. Although the eight major temples can influence the will of the main god
, but it is impossible to arbitrarily deprive a high-level magician of his magical ability.
The power of the three major families to penetrate into the temple also greatly affects the final decision of the temple. After all, in the cultivation of magicians, it is easier for the children of the four major families who have absolute resources. Coupled with the special background and lineage,
The senior officials of the eight major temples are members of the four major families, and only about 40% of the senior officials have no relationship with the four major families.
Before the game between the two parties reached a balance of interests, the coalition temporarily lost the support of the magician, which gave Xu Sancai the best opportunity. He entered the capital of Dongxing Kingdom and burned food three times. There were still temple members in the capital, and he
They still didn't dare to use the elemental birds, but the combination of flamingos and fire rats also gave the coalition a big headache. In the end, they could only store most of the coalition's food in space equipment.
Of course, this requires the full support of the Dongfang Family. Even the Zhan Zong-level powerhouses, unless they are core members of a large force, generally use only ten cubic meters of space equipment. The food for hundreds of thousands of soldiers is so huge.
The most critical thing is that there is food for the tens of millions of residents in the city, and the value of the space equipment required is simply not something that a country can afford.
In the end, the space equipment provided by the Dongfang Family was only enough to store the food of the coalition forces, including transporting food. The amount of space equipment required was staggering. The food supplied to the people by the Dongxing Kingdom could only be stored in the grain depot, which naturally became the target of Xu Sancai's attack. Dongxing Kingdom
Although a large army was sent to protect him, he was still not spared.
The private food supply in the capital of Dongxing has become a big problem. The price of food in the capital has soared five times. Amid the resentment of the people, many residents have moved out. Upon seeing this, King Dongxing simply temporarily reduced the private food supply, allowing these people to
All the residents left the capital, so that the food burden would be solved and soldiers guarding the food hoards could be saved.
However, many families in the capital of Dongxing Kingdom had their families and it was inconvenient to leave. There were also some industries in the capital and the rich and powerful people of Dongxing Kingdom were unwilling to leave. The food supply among the people still could not be completely cut off. Moreover, although King Dongxing's approach
It was a helpless choice, but it caused him to completely lose the support of the people, including the remaining 200,000 Dongxing troops.
King Dongxing ordered the troops to shrink, leaving all the Dongxing territory outside the capital. It also made the hometowns and families of most of the officers and soldiers in the army become the territories and subjects of Da Qin. Of course, these officers and soldiers were unstable. King Dongxing showed up again without caring about his people.
The resulting wave of exodus of residents from the capital, with more than two million residents fleeing in ten days, made the army officers and soldiers even more dissatisfied.
Dongxingguo troops began to have deserters, and when Xu Sancai asked intelligence personnel and chambers of commerce in the capital to start publicizing the counties and cities that had been annexed by the Qin Dynasty, not only did the price ratio drop sharply, but the food supply was sufficient.
The city was regarded as its own territory, and the lives of the residents were greatly improved. The Qin State also recruited soldiers from the surrendered troops, including surrendered troops from other coalition countries, and also received preferential treatment.
These propagandas spread quickly in the capital of Dongxing, and the people fled in great numbers, and soldiers began to mix with the people to form a wave of flight. On the largest day, the loss of soldiers reached nearly 10,000. King Dongxing finally began to panic and asked the military to send troops
All are controlled within the camp and are not allowed to go out to prevent soldiers from escaping.
The Allied Forces of the Wanqing Kingdom finally reunited, and the army quickly advanced towards the direction of Daqin. Due to the reduction of a large amount of baggage burden, the troops' marching speed reached hundreds of miles a day. But after all, the number of troops was huge, and they were multinational coalition forces. Mutual coordination and coordination
Cooperation requires running-in. Moreover, there are many infantry in the army. Although they have transportation vehicles, their speed cannot be compared with the cavalry.
As a large country, it pays great attention to the configuration of its troops, and not all of them are cavalry. For example, most cavalry use long weapons and are generally not equipped with shields. Moreover, because they ride horses, their armors are relatively thick. These equipment are suitable for plain hedging.
But it is not suitable for siege, and most of the sieges are heavy infantry with shields.
These heavy infantry regiments are generally not proficient in riding horses. The infantry equipped by the coalition forces in the last expedition were all trained to ride horses. This time, almost all the remaining domestic troops went out. Naturally, a large number of infantry need to be transported by transport vehicles, and the speed is naturally higher.
Much slower than cavalry, the mighty army could only travel about three hundred miles in a day at most.
Xu Sancai has always asked Wang Youcai to pay attention to every move of the coalition forces. From the time when the coalition forces from various countries set off for the expedition and assembled to the rendezvous for the expedition, every move was reported to him at any time. He could naturally deduce that the coalition forces would arrive in only twenty days. The western border town
Preparations were made for defense, and 200,000 agricultural reclamation troops were urgently recruited to reinforce the defenses and prepare a large number of rolling logs and rocks.
However, now that the coalition forces in the capital of Dongxing Kingdom have not yet been resolved, Da Qin must divide its troops into two places to defend the enemy, and its advantage in troop numbers has almost disappeared. During this period, Da Qin has annexed those medium-sized countries and the counties and cities of Dongxing Kingdom, and naturally it has also incorporated many of them.
With the small number of troops, and the surrender of most of the originally captured Dongxing troops, the reorganized Da Qin troops numbered more than two million, including more than 800,000 elite legions.
This is of course due to Xu Sancai's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners. The armies of those medium-sized countries that were forcibly annexed have basically been preserved intact. After reorganization and running-in, they can become competent troops. However, the Qin army is patchwork.
There is a big gap in the recruitment, equipment and training level, and the overall speed of the troops is naturally not as good as that of the coalition forces.
