When Chene led the Sixth Army into the Kingdom of Mawlamyine, the garrison of the Nanyang Alliance hardly responded decently. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Datang Empire has just left Siam Moon City, the seat of the Nanyang Alliance Parliament, and he is full of promises, hoping that the Nanyang Alliance will not intervene in the upcoming war between Datang and Maqi Khan. Although the members of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Nanyang Alliance Parliament have not made it clear Said that it would cut off the military aid and trade channels for Maqi Khan, but said very implicitly that the Nanyang Alliance would not support the use of force to resolve disputes, so the Nanyang Alliance would not intervene in this war, and Datang who obtained this guarantee The foreign ministry also welcomed the Nanyang Alliance's stance.
Except for the slight resistance of less than 10,000 defenders in Mawlamyine at the entrance of the Mehe Basin, that is, the Fort Halle, the Sixth Army in Shener is almost invincible, from Fort Halle to the center of the Mehe Basin Within a 50-kilometer radius of the Meinai City, the Sixth Army completed the conquest and occupation of the Mawlamyine Kingdom in just two days, completely controlling the Mehe River Basin, and the front of the army went straight into the Daliao Kingdom day and night.
The situation in Daliao is even more astonishing. Poverty and disease seem to have plagued this small country all the time, and the rich countries and cities in the south of the Nanyang Alliance probably never thought that there is such a poor member here In the country, the entire Daliao country has less than 500,000 people, the terrain is rugged, and the transportation is inconvenient. The city of the capital city has only less than 20,000 residents. At the time of the King, many of the inhabitants did not even understand what was happening. It doesn't seem like they care about that either.
"There is no food, no medicine, no streets, no decent buildings, undulating roads, scorching sun, and only a handful of shops. There are few businesses, flies flying in all directions, and sewage flowing everywhere constitute the Holy Elephant City The main theme. The impoverished residents, the corrupt officials, the king and the nobles, all of them are drowsy in the hot climate. This is a dying country. If the mainland wants to judge the poorest country, I will I think the country of Daliao should at least be included in the top three. The reason why the Maqihan people in the north did not take advantage of the trend after occupying Yuejing, Ankun and Jemelo, I think it is not because of their kindness, but because of the people here. The situation has spoiled their appetite, and they are no longer interested in being the masters here." This is what Pan Hanshou, the famous military reporter of the Empire's "Oriental Times", came to after two days of interviews with the Sixth Army into the Holy Elephant City in conclusion.
"Daliao Country's geographical location and rugged traffic determine its low status in the Nanyang Alliance. It is located in the hinterland of the Inner Six, with rough terrain and inconvenient transportation. It seems that there are no other products except forest resources. And the traffic bottleneck is Restricting the development of forest resources, this is probably the main reason why Machi Khan and the Nanyang Alliance are not very interested in the Great Laos. So far, the Great Laos still seems to be only an observer country in the Nanyang Alliance, because it is trying to The idea of joining the Nanyang Alliance has been unanimously opposed by member states in the southern coastal areas. Those wealthy member states are worried that they will bear a huge support expenditure after the country of Da Lao joins the alliance, and these people are obviously unwilling to do so "This is the analysis and introduction of the mail sent by Ke Daonan, an army reporter of "Empire News" from the Holy Elephant to the headquarters of "Empire News" in the imperial capital.
The arrival of the Sixth Army was quite slow in Daliao. When the inland officials and nobles including the king were temporarily controlled, it didn't seem to have much impact on the lives of the people in the Holy Elephant City. Perhaps the people were already tired of this peaceful but lifeless life. When the Sixth Army entered the city A group of guards even took the initiative to ask the imperial army to disarm and help the imperial army lead the way as a guide. In their opinion, the arrival of Datang might bring a glimmer of hope to their barren and miserable lives, which is far better than that. In the present lifeless situation.
It was not until the three divisions of the Sixth Army crossed the border of Daliao and entered the territory of Yuejing that the Maqihan garrison, who had just woken up from a dream, finally reacted. , but it seems a little too late.
Gongming City is located in the upper reaches of the East Mekong River. It is adjacent to the largest lake and swamp area in Yuejing - Maize. This is a very beautiful city, which has a history of more than two hundred years as the capital of Yuejing. It was not until the Ruan Dynasty ended its rule and was replaced by the rise of the Li Dynasty in the north that it finally moved the capital to the capital to balance the power of the north and the south. However, in order to counter the power of the Ministry's nobles, the Li Dynasty vigorously wooed the southern nobles, making Le The clan dynasty soon formed an alliance with the southern nobles, attacked from the north and the south, and successfully controlled the entire Yuejing Kingdom. However, although the interior was calmed down, it never thought that it would be peeped by the powerful neighbors from the east. Yuejing's fertile land and good water and heat conditions made it a pure exporter of grain production. Glutinous rice is the main food, not only the yield is no less than that of ordinary rice, but its unique taste is the envy of the neighbors who mainly eat rice.
Due to its special geographical location, Gongming City is located in the hinterland of the inner 6, and it is close to the East Meize River and the Meize River. The city is built on the highland between the Meize River and the East Meize River. To form a complete urban area, the traffic in the urban area also pays equal attention to the waterway and the 6th road. In some cases, the waterway is often more convenient than the 6th road.
When Maqili, the commander of the 14th Corps of Machi Khan, who was in Gongmin City, received a warning from Rhonesia, what was his first impression? 6 In the hinterland, the Khanate and the Tang Army are fighting at the foot of the cities of Reya and Jiaxi. Could it be that the Tang Army will fly directly across the rugged mountains of Rhonesia to the city of Gongmin? But when he learned that Mae Nei had fallen, McKeeley knew that his good luck would turn out to be bad luck. The Tang army used this method to raid Mawlamyine. Its purpose was definitely not to target the Nanyang Alliance. On the one hand, he was thinking about how to defend this Gongming city, which can be said to have never thought of fighting a defensive battle here.
Defensive operations outside the city? According to the early warning information, the strength of the Tang army is far greater than that of the 14th Corps. Such a battle is undoubtedly to die? Fighting in the city? This Gongming city has no walls or dangers, so it cannot be defended at all. Perhaps the only way is to rely on the houses and streets in the city to carry out street fighting, but this does not seem to change the outcome of the war.
Without waiting for Maggie to have more time to think, and even before receiving an order from the interior of the Khanate, the Tang army has already rolled in from the south, and most of the Tang army has appeared in the east, south, and southwest directions. The activities of the people and horses made Maggie very anxious, and the alarm to the interior of the Khanate has not yet responded, which made him in a dilemma. The 14th Corps of Machi Khan immediately shrunk the line of defense. Before receiving the order from the Khanate to agree to retreat, Maqili could only persevere even though he knew that the battle would be dangerous. The retreat is the city of Yuejing. The defense system of Yuejing is much more complete. Although the city wall is not high and steep, it can already be called dangerous on the Yuejing Plain.
Shenei also understands the importance of this battle. Unlike other cities, Gongming City is easy to attack and difficult to defend. The Maqihan people are like this, and the same is true for their own side. However, Gongming City has an extremely important role for the empire. The big advantage is that as long as you take it down, you can rely on the city to fight against the infantry of the Maqihan people, regardless of the dominant cavalry force of the Maqihan people. The broken and fragmented terrain of Gongming City and the terrain surrounded by water on three sides make the Maqihan The strength of the Khan's cavalry cannot be exerted at all, and the imperial army can just rely on the terrain here to hold on. Forever only hopeful.
The fierce street fighting quickly turned into a melee, but the Maqihan 14th Army quickly showed a gap in combat effectiveness with the Tang Army~IndoMTL.com~ This army has not been established for a long time, There is a considerable gap in style and attack power with the Sixth Army, which has gone through many **** battles, and Mai Qili never thought that this army could stop the advance of the Tang Army with his own hands. He just wanted to use the 14th Corps to delay the Tang Army's offensive so as to prepare for his own plan.
"What did you say? There was internal strife between them? At this time?!" Shocked, Shener almost jumped up from the big carved boxwood chair that had just had time to sit firmly. He still had some doubts about the news. , this temporary building that was used as the command post of the Tang Army obviously imitated the Tang style, combined with some ethnic characteristics of Yuejing itself, and looked very elegant, but at this time it was requisitioned by the Tang Army as a temporary headquarters.
Although the continuous march was quite exhausting, seeing the victory in sight, the morale of the Sixth Army was still extremely high. The continuous attack broke through the defense line of the Fourteenth Army of Machihan, forcing the Machihans to step back quickly retreated, and another Yuejing servant corps that assisted the 14th Army in defense showed a posture of preparing to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, as if they would announce their whereabouts when the battle became clear.
"Yes, on the southeast corner, our troops have not yet entered that area. Our scouts found that the Yuejing servant army was fighting fiercely with the Maqi Khan army. It seems that a house has been set on fire." The official is probably also very cautious and sensitive to this news.
