These county towns of Daqin were newly expanded territories, and the Oriental family and coalition naturally did not install spies in these countries in advance. Wang Youcai's intelligence agency entered here as soon as possible. The first government affairs of Daqin's annexation of the territory was to count the population, and then it entered a state of preparation for war. Ordinary residents avoided it, so the newly infiltrated spies were naturally easily discovered.
Without the intelligence of spies, the Marshal of the Great Qi could only decide the tactics based on the exploration of the flying scouts. Most of the equipment of the Great Qin troops was pieced together from materials from various countries, and the Great Qin troops were constantly reorganized, making it difficult for outsiders to understand the organization of the troops. The Agricultural Reclamation Army used this to form suspicious troops in the two border cities, making the Great Qi not know the reality of the guarding power of the three counties.
The Marshal of the Great Qi chose to attack the opposite county town and entered the border of the Great Qin. The coalition did not dare to waste time. He also cared about the rescue of the Qin troops in the other two county towns. The Marshal of the Great Qi personally commanded two million coalitions to surround and attack the selected target county town.
The plan of the Marshal of the Great Qi was to open a passage, and the army went deep into the Qin Dynasty to occupy the inland county town and cut off the supply of Qin's material, or force the Qin army to rescue the besieged county town, forcing the Qin army to fight the coalition forces in the field. Without the support of city defense fortifications, the coalition forces could defeat the Qin Dynasty by virtue of its number advantage.
The strategy of the Great Qi Marshal was very clever, but he lacked the correct intelligence. The target of the coalition forces' besieged was the county town stationed by 900,000 elite troops of the Great Qin Dynasty. Xu Sancai was worried that the coalition forces would change their targets, let some elite troops of the Great Qin Dynasty hide in their houses, and to do their best to block the flying scouts of the coalition forces.
While attacking, the coalition forces were also reconnaissing the Qin army, but the Qin only used 600,000 elite troops, which made the Qin Marshal determined to mobilize his troops to attack with all his might. The county city was not particularly reinforced, but it left some catapults and rolling wood stones. Originally, these were spare materials, and were ready to be replenished to the border city at any time according to the enemy's offensive.
Nowadays, all these spare equipment and supplies are used, and the elite troops are equipped with crossbows and other equipment, but there is no shortage of large-scale equipment. In the end, the siege still requires short-term contact to seize the city wall or gate, so that the passage can be opened and entered the city, which shows the importance of the strength of the troops.
Moreover, the elite troops are equipped with magic pattern bows and arrows. Although only one-fifth of the full-time archers, it is not difficult to learn bows and arrows as a mid-level warrior or above. In the training camp course, archery is included. The same equipment, the higher the cultivation level, the stronger the lethality, and the more advanced the equipment of the elite troops, which naturally brought a heavy blow to the coalition forces.
During the siege of the city three days ago, the Marshal of the Great Qi meant more feints, and the coalition forces mainly attacked from afar. Although the siege equipment of the coalition forces caused a lot of damage to the city wall and the city gate almost collapsed, the city gate was immediately closed by the Qin Dynasty with a large number of square stones. Due to the existence of the fortifications in the city wall, the long-distance attack did not cause much damage to the Qin Dynasty, and the coalition forces suffered serious casualties.
Seeing that the Qin garrison in other counties did not intend to go out to rescue the city, Marshal of the Great Qi made up his mind to forcibly attack the city. The city gate was blocked by square stones, and the coalition forces could only force the city to attack through cloud ladders. In order to take down this county city, Marshal of the Great Qi concentrated long-range large-scale equipment assistance such as stone casting cars and arrow tower cars in the west of the city, and concentrated fifteen elite legions of the Great Qi, Da Chu and Jin to attack.
The soldiers of these elite coalition forces are all at the level of warship or above. As warship experts, they can climb to the city wall by rising and falling on the ladder. As long as they climb to the city wall, the two sides will fight with their own strength. Of course, the number of defenders on the city wall is definitely greater than that of the enemy. If they climb to the city wall, they will basically face siege from the defending troops.
However, the combat effectiveness of elite troops in siege is more than ten times that of ordinary troops. Ordinary troops are almost unable to climb to the city, but the eastern front, which is under the charge of elite coalition forces, has coalition forces climbed to the city from time to time. Xu Sancai immediately rushed to the east of the city and sent 200,000 hidden elite troops to quietly enter the defense of the eastern front.
In order to cooperate with the siege, the Marshal of the Great Qi also gathered hundreds of flying scouts and mages to attack the Qin army guarding the city from the air with magic scrolls. The coalition forces had used this move at the beginning, and Xu Sancai was prepared. Not only did he arrange archers who specifically deal with flying scouts, he also took off with more than a dozen flight war king generals to meet the enemy, making it impossible for the enemy to use magic scrolls at a low altitude.
The strength of the Qin elite was no less than that of the elite troops of the three major powers. Although these elite coalition forces continued to attack the city, they were quickly killed by the Qin army defending the city. Xu Sancai also showed his power in the air, and the thunder needle and spiritual magic were launched at the same time. The coalition mages were only a dozen Dharma sects, and they were killed one by one by him in just three minutes.
After half a day, the Marshal of the Great Qi had discovered that the strength of the defenders was far beyond his imagination, but the coalition had suffered heavy losses, with most of the fifteen elite troops killed and injured. In order to cooperate with the main attack direction, other coalition troops were also attacking the city with all their might, to restrain the strength of the Qin defenders. As a result, hundreds of thousands of people were killed and injured in half a day.
The Marshal of the Great Qi was also in a difficult situation. On the one hand, if the coalition's first offensive ended in a complete failure, the morale of the coalition would inevitably be set. Moreover, the Marshal of the Great Qi still believed that the Qin army was only hundreds of thousands of. As long as he persisted, the Qin army was naturally not the opponent of the coalition. He immediately transferred back the millions of coalition forces that intercepted reinforcements and launched an attack with all his might.
After a day of siege, the Qin elites also damaged nearly 200,000, while the coalition forces' offensive continued. Xu Sancai also transferred all the 100,000 elite troops in his reserve, and both sides were on the verge of fighting to the death. Although the troops on both sides were exhausted, they did not retreat. They were not only fighting for strength, but also fighting for will.
Although the coalition forces were large in number, their strength was far inferior to the elite of the Qin Dynasty. Moreover, the Qin army was assisted by the city wall fortifications, which caused heavy losses to the coalition forces. In one day, millions of coalition forces had been killed and injured in the siege. However, under the supervision of the Great Qi Marshal himself, no one dared to be afraid of the war, and the pressure on the Great Qin defenders naturally became greater and greater.
Xu Sancai immediately notified the generals of the elite troops to start using magic scrolls. He drew a large number of magic scrolls when practicing magic over the years, all of which were distributed to the generals of the troops. Most of them were group attack magic at level 6 and 7, and a large number of healing magic scrolls were handed over to the logistics forces.
Xu Sancai can now draw a level 8 magic scroll, but the attack power of that kind is extremely strong. In order to strengthen the authority of the temple, the Eight Temples strictly control the flow of this level scroll. If he uses a level 8 magic scroll, it will definitely arouse the temple's suspicion, so he only distributes the level 6 and 7 magic scrolls.
The effective attack range of the level 7 group attack magic scroll can reach a radius of 100 meters, and its lethality is enough to cause fatal damage to the Battle Sect. It is even more difficult for ordinary war spirits and warriors to resist. A large number of magic scrolls suddenly appeared, and the heavy casualties shocked the coalition forces that were still persisting. The soldiers began to flee in all directions, and the coalition's offensive was suddenly greatly reduced.
Marshal of the Great Qi was also shocked by the large-scale magic scrolls used by Daqin. Of course, the coalition forces also carried a large number of magic scrolls, but they were unable to get close to the enemy before they could not exert the power of the magic scrolls. He did not doubt anything. The magic scrolls carried by the flying attack team sent by the coalition just now had already fallen into the hands of Daqin because of their killing. Moreover, the coalition forces also had a large number of scrolls in the hands of Daqin during the previous time, and the countries that the Daqin annexed had also reserved for scrolls.
Seeing that the coalition forces were seriously injured and had no morale, the Marshal of the Great Qi had to order to withdraw his troops. Millions of coalition forces were killed and injured, of which more than 500,000 were killed and nearly one million were injured. The coalition forces could not bear such losses. The Marshal of the Great Qi looked gloomy, but in the end he had to let the coalition forces rest on the spot.
Although the elite Qin soldiers also suffered more than 200,000 casualties, the wounded soldiers were quickly treated because they were on their own battlefield in the city, and the soldiers themselves were strong. In the courses in the training camp, Xu Sancai focused on training to protect himself in battle. The number of people who died on the spot was only a few thousand.
With city wall defense, there are not many enemies who really climb the city wall. Many wounded soldiers of the Qin Dynasty were only injured by the enemy's bows and arrows and stones. The armor quality of the elite troops was not low, and most of the injuries were not serious. The Qin Dynasty's logistics and rescue team not only had sufficient healing medicine and various rescue equipment, but also had magic scrolls specially used for treatment. As long as the injured were rescued, they would basically not die, so the number of deaths was not large.
The coalition forces are different. After attacking near the city wall, even if they are injured, they will be difficult to be treated in time, and they will not even be able to retreat to safety. Moreover, if they are hit by a rolling wooden stone during the process of climbing the city, even if they are protected by armor, they will inevitably be seriously injured and cannot be rescued in time. The mortality rate will naturally rise sharply, and the coalition forces that climbed the city will definitely not survive.
Therefore, the losses of the coalition forces far exceeded that of the Daqin. After this heavy blow, the originally aggressive coalition forces' morale plummeted. This is mainly because the major powers have been almost invincible overlords for hundreds of years and have never experienced any failure. Although the Marshal of the Great Qi was unwilling to accept it, he had no choice but to let the coalition forces rest on the spot for the time being.
The war has always been a one-on-one move, but it declines again and is exhausted. The coalition forces rest for several days. The Qin Marshal tried to attack the city again. As a result, these coalition forces suffered the first defeat. After large-scale casualties of the siege troops, the coalition forces retreated automatically. Moreover, the coalition forces of several countries shrank, but the Qin Marshal did not have absolute jurisdiction over the other national forces of the coalition forces, so he could only stop siege in disappointment.
