Although Wang Youcai's father was already prepared, he did not expect that Xu Sancai would have annexed so many county towns in such a short time. Moreover, these county towns, especially the county towns of the four countries of the coalition forces, were in a state of food scarcity and needed a large amount of food, or a huge amount of food. []
In the past two years, the Qin Dynasty controlled grain exports and had enough reserves of grain. However, the military's huge transportation teams followed the army to expedition. Although the agricultural reclamation army and government officials and sell institutions also had many carriages, the number seemed a bit insufficient at this time. Moreover, Xu Sancai's troops expanded westward by cavalry, so the speed of the transportation team seemed a bit too slow.
Moreover, there are still a large number of government affairs in these county towns that need to be sent to handle. The transfer of county town government affairs and treasury, the implementation of the people's security policy and the agricultural reclamation system, etc. all require the arrangements of the Wang father. He is now busy and even hopes that the expansion of the Qin Dynasty will be slower.
However, the speed of the expansion of the Qin Dynasty's westward expansion has not slowed down, but has continued to increase. Xu Sancai sent troops to expand westward to accept Dongsheng Kingdom within ten days, and at the same time, nine medium-sized countries were also accepted, including the medium-sized countries originally dependent on Wanqing Kingdom. Seeing the unstoppable development trend of the Qin Dynasty, they all chose to surrender immediately.
Xu Sancai was commanding troops to continue to launch long-distance attacks in Wanqing Capital, which made Wanqing defenders extremely passive. There were more than a dozen catapults in the inner city, but the stored stones were very limited. When Wanqing King finally made up his mind to demolish the palace, the four catapults on the west gate of the inner city had been smashed.
Xu Sancai did not allow the troops to attack at the same time, but instead concentrated all these large equipment outside the west gate of the inner city. Dozens of catapults had absolute suppression advantages. The first few rounds of attacks targeted the catapults at the top of the city, and as a result, all four catapults were destroyed. The Qin under the city also paid the price of 7 catapults.
The defenders of Wanqing's inner city suffered serious losses, but they could not give up the defense at the top of the city. King Wanqing could not care about so much and immediately ordered the troops of the surrounding county towns to come to the capital for rescue. However, there were only more than 10,000 troops in those county towns, and most of them were new troops. Although seven county towns sent troops to aid one after another, they were all wiped out.
Xu Sancai asked the follow-up troops who arrived after the reorganization to quickly occupy seven county cities. Among those county cities, the most were not left with two or three thousand soldiers to guard it. It was not enough to guard the huge county cities, and it was basically no effort. The Qin troops attacked the city from weak defenses, and then naturally successfully captured the entire county city.
After three days of long-range attack, the Wanqing defenders in the inner city suffered heavy losses. There were no catapults on the western front of the inner city. The Qin generals transferred all the movable arrow towers seized from the Wanqing military warehouse to the western front battlefield. With the protection and height of the arrow tower, the advantages of the city wall were almost gone, and the casualties of the soldiers became even more serious, but under the command of King Wanqing and two generals of the War King, they continued to persevere.
The county town farther from Wanqing will naturally not send troops to reinforce, and the casualties of the enemy in the inner city are already very serious, so it will be less meaningful to delay it. Xu Sancai immediately asked the troops to concentrate hundreds of wooden barrels filled with tinder oil. After igniting it, he threw them into the inner city with a catapult. The inner city suddenly turned into a sea of fire.
The most serious thing is the city head. The city head on the western front has completely become a sea of fire, and a raging fire has also been lit on the city gate. The city gate of Wanqing Inner City is protected by magic patterns, which can resist the fire. Although the city gate is not burning, the hot high temperature still has an impact on the city gate. The huge stones were smashed toward the city gate by the catapult cart. After persisting in the violent shaking for several minutes, it finally fell down.
The city gate on the west front, including the city wall and the defenders within hundreds of meters near the city wall, have been flooded by the sea of fire. Even the elite Wanqing with low-level magic pattern equipment cannot withstand such a degree of fire. Of course, the Qin troops cannot withstand the sea of fire, but since the city gate has been broken, it will be a matter of time before it can capture the inner city.
Xu Sancai waited until the fire was about to be extinguished before leading his army into the city. At this time, the Qin army's three-day long-range attack, coupled with the devastating sea of tinder oil, the Wanqing troops who could fight in the inner city were less than 40,000, and they were all scattered in the inner city and across the palace. He led more than 100,000 elite troops into the city, and killed all the way to the palace without encountering any obstacles.
Everything left was simple, and the Wanqing troops were completely killed. The Wanqing king and two war kings, the palace law clan and dozens of personal guards, fled from the capital by flying monsters. However, Xu Sancai did not chase after him. He did not want to expose the Liefeng Diao, but he mainly wanted to take down Wanqing. Whether or not he killed Wanqing was no longer important now.
The county town with the most troops stationed in the Wanqing Kingdom is only 20,000. King Wanqing could not defend it at any county town. He did not dare to stay. Instead, he flew directly to the Ximen family's sphere of influence. Without defending the territory, he was useless to the Dongfang family, so he naturally would not defect to the Dongfang family. Fortunately, he had a rich fortune. Although he had no power or power in his life, he did not lack money or pleasure.
The capital of Wanqing fell, and the King of Wanqing disappeared. The remaining county towns of Wanqing naturally stopped defending and opened the city gates to surrender. Xu Sancai did not leave to deal with those trivial matters, and immediately led his troops to the current Western Front border of Daqin. At the same time, the follow-up troops had also arrived at the Western Front border as fast as possible. Almost all the troops of Daqin were transferred to the Western Front by him.
The Qin Dynasty continued to annex all four countries that formed the coalition forces, and also captured more than 20 medium-sized countries. The armies of those medium-sized countries were unscathed. Although they were only medium-sized countries, they were far from comparing to North Vietnam. The soldiers were at least warrior-level, and these newly accepted troops were millions.
Of course, these troops were reorganized by the Qin Dynasty, and only soldiers of level 7 soldiers and above were retained, but even so, more than 2 million new troops were added. Originally, Xu Sancai planned to upgrade the standards to the combat division level, but now the coalition of two superpowers is coming, and he needs a large number of troops, which temporarily lowers the standards.
It is relatively much more difficult to advance to the combat division. If the combat division is used as the standard, the new troops will be only 600,000 to 700,000 this time. The original troops of the Qin Dynasty were also injured in the war, but now they are only 1.5 million. Even if the coalition forces and the troops of the three major powers are added, it will be only more than 2 million. Although the troops of the two superpowers are only one million, the strength of the superpower troops is far greater than that of the Qin Dynasty. It is not a problem to fight one against two, or even one against three.
