Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 1377 1378 Conditions for them to open

The officers and soldiers of the 7th Army of the Tang Dynasty, who had been drifting at sea for less than half a month, finally felt the pain of the 9th Army. They really felt that it would be better to let them enter Shu from the place where they entered Shu.

Almost vomiting, these soldiers climbed onto the beach of Shu. They did not encounter any resistance from the Qin army because the selected landing site had been bombed to the ground by the Tang naval aviation.

There was only one regiment of Qin troops stationed in the area of ​​more than 30 kilometers nearby. After the soldiers at the sentry saw the Tang fleet, the Qin people fled.

 This was something that was almost unimaginable in the past: the Qin defenders fled without a fight, leaving only some empty trenches destroyed by bombs and some in tatters.

 Yes, after the Tang Army took over these positions, they found all kinds of junk inside: all kinds of materials, messy items, just like a scrapyard.

When the Qin people built their defense line, they lacked too many things, so they had to make good use of everything they had: door panels removed from private houses, broken raincoats, ordinary people's pots and pans, and some stones, broken bricks and tiles .

This is not so much a position as a living area, and it is the kind of living area that is poor to a certain extent. In the past, it might have been seen in the Tang Empire, but it was a camp for goblins and orc workers...

The soldiers of the Tang Empire didn't know why these Qin soldiers fled without fighting, but Eric believed that the Qin army would immediately launch a counterattack.

 So he ordered the troops to land as soon as possible and send heavy weapons and equipment aboard. But who knew that after a while of busy work, the sky gradually darkened. Throughout the whole day, the Tang army did not even encounter a decent shelling from the enemy.

 After the Tang Army's 59 tanks landed ashore and the armored reconnaissance troops began to deploy and control the surrounding area of ​​dozens of kilometers, the Tang Army discovered that the nearby Qin troops seemed to be really few.

 The lights were brightly lit all night, and the Tang army unloaded a large number of troops, as well as ammunition and heavy equipment. Early the next morning, Eric launched an active attack with strong troops and horses.

 After a night's rest, the soldiers of Tang's 7th Army, who had somewhat recovered some of their physical strength, quickly occupied nearby villages. Then they heard all kinds of cries and pleas from the native people of Shu.

The Qin people ran away and robbed their food. The reason why they did not kill anyone was because the other party wanted to keep these people to contain the attacking Tang army.

Previously, the Qin Army only had one division here. A regiment of this division was ordered to garrison the beach where the Tang Army landed. Unfortunately, this regiment left last night.

The only thing left here is a broken down jeep, which seems to have been aided by the Tang Empire to Qin in the early years.

The commander of the Tang Army, who was stunned on the spot, didn't know why such a thing happened. Before they landed, they were repeatedly stressed about the dangers of the landing operation and the bravery and skill of the Qin army.

 But the fact was before them, the Qin people ran away...and ran away without even firing a shot! After they landed, they encountered almost no difficulties except for the sequelae of seasickness.

Compared with the previous landings, the Tang Army’s experience in organizing landings has become much more mature. The landing craft cooperated seamlessly, and the speed of the troops landing ashore was greatly improved.

 Coupled with the fact that there was no enemy counterattack, the beachhead troops were in good order and there was no interference from the smoke released by themselves, and the scene looked cleaner. The engineers quickly established a floating dock, and transport ships began to approach to unload troops, and the efficiency suddenly improved a lot. The reconnaissance force began to expand the search scope, and the Qin Army's aircraft that appeared near the landing site were also driven away by Tang carrier-based aircraft.

 Other than the shooting down of two enemy planes, no fighting of any kind broke out. What was previously expected to be a **** battle turned into an outright spring outing.

 Subsequently, Eric's follow-up troops and supplies began to arrive one after another, and the news that tens of thousands of Tang troops landed more than 150 kilometers away from Qingluan Port reached Sun Guang's ears almost at the same time.

 He did not expect that the Tang Army would be so conservative, but now the opponent has come ashore and is far away from the main defense area he is responsible for.

 The location of Zhang Xuan's headquarters was also relatively safe, so Sun Guang immediately made a correct decision: strengthen the defense line, defend where he was, and never fight back!

his judgment was very accurate: he could not defeat the Tang Army, and the assembled troops could easily be found and destroyed by the Tang Army's carrier-based aircraft. The idea of ​​driving the Tang army into the sea is naive and ridiculous. The Qin army does not have such field combat capabilities at all.

 So, instead of wasting precious strength on counterattack, it is better to strengthen the defense line and wait for the Tang army to hit them.

Even, he ordered the Qin army near the Tang army to retreat immediately and gather in the direction of Qingluan Port: In this way, the Tang army did not capture a single Qin army after landing.

Three days later, Eric found that almost all of his troops had landed ashore, and even the 6th Army Group fighting in Chu had established vague contact. The Qin army still had no intention of counterattack.

At this time, he finally confirmed that Qin Jun had no intention of counterattack. The other party was waiting for him to knock on the door. As a result, the 7th Army began to attack, advancing more than 50 kilometers in two days, defeating the Qin army that could not stabilize its position, and leaving Qingluan Port where Sun Guang was less than 100 kilometers away from the front line.

In the palace of Wuyang City in the Qin State, Ying Duo also heard the news of the Tang army's landing in Shu a few hours later. What he feared most finally happened.

The perfect pattern of using Shu's money and grain to support Qin's soldiers was finally broken, and Qin's money bags and granaries were lost. For Qin, this blow was undoubtedly fatal.

Now, Yingduo had to start thinking about how the Qin Empire would continue to fight in the future after losing Shu and Chu.

"The Tang State still refuses to nod when it comes to negotiations, right?" At his wits' end, Ying Duo looked at the foreign minister who had little say in the matter before.

The other party had a bitter look on his face, lowered his head and replied: "Your Majesty! The conditions offered before...the people of the Tang Dynasty are not willing to accept it."

He actually wanted to complain. The conditions given by the Qin State and the Tang Dynasty were not like those of a defeated country. Isn't that basically mocking the Tang state? There is no mention of compensation for ceding territory, as if to restore the state of Tang to its pre-war status is a huge charity... Who the **** is negotiating with you?

"Go again this time...ask them what they want! Give them the conditions! Let me see if my good son-in-law dares to ask for any benefits from me." Ying Duo ordered through gritted teeth and clenched his fists.
