Xiang Ningxuan just came back from Xiazhou and happened to meet Valila and Cao Wenhuan for a visit.

Although the internal control of Xianyang City is not strict, it is necessary to take a lot of risks to bring an average civilian in the future.

However, Cao Wenhuan repeatedly asked, even saying that if he was discovered, Valila could kill him first and then leave, because he had important information and had to report to Xiang Ningxuan in person, so he would take risks. Fortunately, the two finally slipped out of Xianyang City safely.

Cao Wenhuan also had a separate interview with Xiang Ningxuan, and no one knew what to do.

In addition, the two brought back detailed information from Xianyang City, and professionals from the General Staff conducted an analysis overnight.

Through data such as clay quantity, weapons and equipment, it can be roughly estimated that the Qin army's strength is about 50,000. However, most of them are newly manufactured recently and are also new recruits among the Qin warriors.

The main weapons and equipment of the Qin army were chariots, swords, spears and crossbows, and there were about 10,000 chariot soldiers, 10,000 crossbow soldiers and 30,000 infantry. Veterans generally had armor, but the new recruits' armor had not yet been made.

Among them, chariot soldiers and crossbow soldiers are the main forces, and they can be calculated from the level of equipment.

Of course, the Qin army now cannot use bronze and wooden weapons and equipment two thousand years ago. In that case, even the armor of the army is not broken. They use psychic equipment made with special craftsmanship.

The First Emperor should have woken up at the beginning of the doomsday, but he was in the imperial tomb for a year, just building troops to promote offense and defense.

The quality of these psychic equipment is very good, almost not inferior to the mass-produced equipment of the Taichu Group, and is much better than the various weapons and equipment of local armies. The Yong army also had equipment factors when it failed last time.

The newly built workshop in Xianyang is only responsible for front-end manufacturing, and the final process of psychic strengthening can only be carried out in the imperial tomb. The Qin army recruited 5,000 people with family members to be responsible for this matter. Their families were all under centralized supervision, and if they disobeyed, they would be held in a row.

The same is true for the manufacturing of terracotta figurines. They were completed in workshops in Xianyang, and then sent to the imperial tomb by a special person to transform into real terracotta warriors and horse soldiers.

The Qin army has only taken the initiative now, because during the Battle of the Imperial Tombs, the Qin army suffered serious casualties. The forces that could be used before were only 10,000 or 20,000. The restoration of the Qin Warriors and the newly built Qin Warriors have just been completed recently and are being reorganized and trained.

More than 30,000 Qin warriors were repaired and newly built in less than a month. Such a speed of blasting soldiers may not last long, but Xiang Ningxuan will definitely not allow Qin to explode another round of soldiers.

Since Qin was ready to take the initiative, let's play with them. Of course, because the main force of the Longxiang Army has not yet been in place, Xiang Ningxuan is not going to push the Qin army back at once. On the contrary, he will let the Qin army take advantage of the situation if he has the chance.

Only after the main force of the Longxiang Army is in place will you have the opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Qin army in the field. This is also the way to win with the least cost and the least casualties of civilians.

Xiang Ningxuan is not only the commander of the Yong army, but also the deputy commander of the army westward. The military farm in the Hetao area can solve the grain problem after autumn harvest, while Xianyang is the ideal industrial base in Xiang Ningxuan's mind and will never be allowed to be destroyed.

After handing over the information, Valila took Cao Wenhuan back to Xianyang.

It is difficult to get out but it is easy to go back. At night, just take a plane across the defense line and send people to a hidden corner. Xianyang is so big that the Qin army cannot monitor it at all, and there are a large number of blind spots for smuggling.

Moreover, at this time, the main force of the Qin army had gathered and prepared to attack. The remaining troops were insufficient and could only guard the temporary palace and several other important points.

Valila and Cao Wenhuan returned to Xianyang, and in addition to continuing to collect intelligence, they also shoulder the task of organizing the people, protecting the industrial system, and carrying out self-rescue at critical moments.

The Qin army spent three days preparing for the war, assembled 30,000 troops and left the Xianyang station on June 30, approaching Tongguan in a mighty manner. The Qin army general Wu Chenghou was also responsible for commanding the troops. The 30,000 civilians were also recruited, responsible for the logistics supply of the Qin army.

The Qin army had a tight formation and a strong camp. Five people, one group, ten people, and one team, forming a military formation at each level. It was a textbook-style marching and was almost impossible to be sneak attacked.

As for why you should add one, it was because the civil servants in the back team were dragged down. These civil servants who were conscripted were not citizens of the Qin Dynasty, but people who grew up under the red flag of the Republic. If Xiang Ningxuan was cruel enough and directly attacked the rear, he might be able to defeat the logistics and security forces in one fell swoop.

But in that case, 30,000 people would inevitably suffer heavy casualties. There were still hundreds of thousands of people in Xianyang City, enough for the Qin State to conscript several times.

Xiang Ningxuan can't do it to delay the speed of the Qin army's advance with the lives of innocent civilians. At least the current situation is not as critical as it needs to do so.

At this time, the Republic had only more than 20,000 troops in the Tongguan direction, and most of them experienced the last defeat and had serious lack of weapons and equipment. They were weak before the war started against the Qin army.

In terms of force, the strength of the 20,000 garrisons in Tongguan was similar to that of the Xiazhou Army, and there was a first cavalry division beside him to help. Now, the first cavalry division is still helping to clean up the mess in Xiazhou, and it is impossible to get through.

The overall combat effectiveness of the 30,000 Qin army on the opposite side is much stronger than that of Ma Xin’s 10,000 escort army.

Therefore, Xiang Ningxuan decided to harass small troops day and night, and the large troops stabilized the walls and cleared the fields to defend the city.

After several small-scale lifting wars, the Qin army's combat literacy greatly touched the elite group. When it comes to single combat power, the Qin warriors are much worse than the mutated distortions of the escort army. However, the organization and cooperation ability are much stronger.

The elite group assault team can take a lot of advantages in small-scale battles, but they dare not go deeper at all. They may be surrounded by the Qin army if they are not careful. The harassment that is temporarily stopped cannot reduce the speed of the Qin army's advancement, and the Qin warriors do not need to sleep and rest, and the harassment effect is not ideal.

The Qin army quickly advanced to a large settlement stationed by the Tongguan army.

The survivors inside have been removed, leaving only a large jagged building that has been transformed into a fortification block. A total of 10,000 soldiers were deployed in the fortification zone for defense.

Tian Tingfeng, commander-in-chief of the Longxiang Army's engineers, pointed to the sand table and said, "This is our defensive system designed based on the characteristics of the Qin army. The advantages of the Qin army are strict discipline and strict formation. Ordinary troops are very disadvantaged when fighting large armies with them. But their shortcomings are also obvious. They are low in individual intelligence and dull behavior, and only have a few simple attack modes."

"So, I used trenches and chest walls to destroy the most elite chariot soldiers of the Qin army. Several large defensive fulcrums need to be stationed, so that the enemy cannot calmly destroy the fortifications. To remove these defensive fulcrums, the enemy can only divide the infantry formation."

"There are complex street fighting terrain around the defensive fulcrum, and our people are all deployed in reinforced concrete houses. This will destroy the Qin army's spear bow, and only the sword soldiers can fight with our army."

"In addition, the goal of finding this time is to delay and consume the Qin army. Therefore, the escape tunnel was dug in the large fulcrum. Even if it is attacked by the enemy's heavy troops, it can still be withdrawn from the encirclement."

Xiang Ningxuan nodded and said to Chen Qing, a sledgehammer on the other end of the sand table: "This time the main defensive force is the Yong army. I will assign you fifty elite team members. Your mission is to cover the evacuation of the defenders at critical moments. Don't take action unless you have to."

Chen Qing rubbed his hands and said, "Don't worry!"
