Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 30 Serial Killing (3)
According to the post-war analysis, this battle for the beachhead by the Kunlun Lake should be the best chance for the Machihans to win. However, the lack of experience made the Maqihans waste this opportunity. Many war historians speculate that if the bamboo rafts used by the Maqihans failed to return in time to transport the second batch of soldiers, if it were not for Xijiang's pre-arranged multiple high platforms on the beach, which effectively contained the Maqihans' assault Speed, if Wenna hadn't personally put on armor to go into battle at the critical moment, and if the Gaoyue militia who played a huge role at the critical moment were disbanded, any one of these factors, which seems to be a bit of a fluke, may lead to the complete collapse of the entire defense line if it is missing. , which in turn changed the fate of Lygon and even the outcome of the entire battle.
But it was these accidental combinations that inevitably made the Maqihan people's surface assault fall short. Not only did they lose as many as 20,000 elites, but the lack of backup also severely damaged the morale of the Maqihan people. In that fateful life-and-death battle, the Western Frontier Army also sacrificed close to 10,000 people, and as many as 2,000 people were disabled for life in this battle, which shows the bloodiness of this battle. Later, although the Machihans stepped up their attack on the weak gate on the Lygon defense, Winner, who had discovered the flaw, quickly adjusted the layout on the high platform, and a large number of them, including heavy trebuchets, were installed. The high platform was built, which greatly enhanced the long-range strike capability. Many bamboo rafts of the Maqihan people who attacked in the later period were crushed by trebuchets before they approached the shore. The impact brought by huge stones is not bamboo rafts and bamboo rafts. To be able to withstand it, every bamboo raft that successfully approaches the shore has at least the sinking of another bamboo raft as a price, that is to say, half of the attacking army died before they really entered the fighting state, floating in the water Soldiers in the army are undoubtedly the best targets for archers and spearmen.
The huge loss cost made Putiancheng finally have to give up this too cruel attack, and let the main battlefield return to the city wall attack and defense, but the unavoidable nightmare of the dragon cannon made everyone who was about to participate in the siege battle The people of Machi Khan shuddered. Although they were not afraid of death, they saw the fireballs that exploded in the air and rained down like a rain of fire. If they got a little bit of it, they would turn people into a ball of coke. This kind of fear brought The effect far exceeds the actual lethality, and even the impact on the morale of the entire Machi Khan army is immeasurable.
Lygon, which was once a delicacy in the eyes of the Machihans, has become a hot potato that cannot be swallowed and cannot be avoided. It is firmly stuck in the throat of the Machihans, and With the Sixth Army's reinforcements stationed in Kutterdan, Mulig's reinforcements finally arrived at the already fragmented city of Lygon before their last strength was exhausted. Even Pu Tiancheng, who has always pursued offensive warfare, wrote in his memoirs decades later: "The battle for Lygon is like a poisonous snake entwined in my heart. The **** waters of Kunlun Lake and the **** fires of Lygon City alternately appeared in my future dreams, which made me unable to calm down for many years. It was the most profound war I experienced before, and it changed my understanding of the West. The view of Xinjiang has also changed my view of war. War is no longer a struggle between soldiers and commanders on both sides. The competition of comprehensive strength between the two sides is more and more reflected in war. It plays a huge role in the outcome of the war."
At the same time, the battle for Kutterdan appeared to be uneventful. Since the main attack direction was set on the Lygon line, Kutterdan did not invest too much troops in the direction of the Machihans. After Terdan, in fact, the Maqihans had given up their plan to break through from Kutterdan and turned to the south, but the tenacious resistance of the city of Lygon made the Machihans realize once again that the fighting will of the Western Frontier Army was definitely not an empire. The army is comparable, and continuing to go south to seek a breakthrough from Sanbao has become the only choice. Of course, they will risk the logistics supply line being cut off by Xijiang. In theory, this choice should be a gamble. This army can only end in annihilation of the entire army, but Pu Tiancheng and Mingzhong finally decided to gamble this time.
The gamble of Pu Tiancheng and Mingzhong paid off. The weak defense of Sanbao City could not resist this surprise army from the north. At that time, the garrison division of the South China Sea Dominion could not resist this menacing army without a city wall. Once the confrontation, the South China Sea garrison division was defeated and was forced to withdraw from Sanbao. In order to avoid unnecessary losses to Sanbao City, At that time, the governor of the South China Sea Autonomous Dominion, Zhong Wenjing, also instructed the officials of Sanbaocheng to declare Sanbaocheng as an undefended city and agreed to the Maqi Khan's troops stationed in Sanbaocheng.
In fact, Mulige and Wenna also considered that the Machihans might cross the mountains between Laigong, Sanbao and Moro to send troops to the Southern Ocean, but the lack of troops made them only between Moro and Sanbao. Choose one, but the position of Moro is more important in comparison. Once Moro is occupied, Sanbao City will become an isolated island. That would be better than sticking to Moro, at least the Machihans would be able to get rid of the idea of the Nanyang Alliance and prevent the Nanyang Alliance from joining the battle.
However, after occupying Sanbao City, the partisan army of the Machi Khans became exhausted. Crossing the mountains between Lygon and Sanbao exhausted their physical strength and made them suffer so much that they were forced to abandon it. Without all the extra luggage and weapons, if it wasn't for their sudden arrival and the combat effectiveness of the South China Sea Guard Division, it would be difficult for them to take down the Sanbao City without the protection of the city wall, but even so they would have lost In the momentum of moving forward, it is already doing everything possible to maintain the status quo in Sanbao City.
The strange stalemate in the peninsula region should have been unexpected by both parties. When Mulige and Wenna were sleepless because of the loss of the three treasures, Pu Tiancheng, like Mingzhong, was worrying about the loss of the three treasures and Lai. The mountains between the tributes sighed endlessly. Moro has only one division to defend, plus some naval defense troops, the overall number will not exceed 25,000, while the troops assembled by Machi Khan in Sanbao rest exceed 30,000. This kind of city without an inch of city wall prospered entirely by opening the seaport, and its defense against the land was almost zero, so it could only rely on the chest of the guarding army to resist. Mulige and Wenna didn't know how many troops the Machihans would send to cross the mountains between Sanbao and Laigong, but they knew that once the Machihans really had the strength to cross this mountain, the entire South China Sea would be destroyed. The Dominions had no choice but to bow their heads and surrender. Facing the huge pressure from Lygon, the Western Xinjiang side no longer had the extra strength to take care of the coastal areas.
But in fact it is not as bad as Mulig and Wenna imagined. Crossing the Mulu Mountain between Sanbao and Laigong made the Maqihan soldiers who are accustomed to living in hot and dry areas suffer a lot. The stifling climate caused many of these soldiers to suffer from skin diseases and dysentery. Although they arrived in Sanbao, the price they paid for it was not small, so that they could not attack Moro next to them. Situation Pu Tiancheng and Mingzhong no longer dare to let the army pass through this area. This kind of march that almost loses its general combat effectiveness is simply unheard of, not to mention that Lygon has not yet been captured, and the attitude of the Nanyang Alliance in the east has become unpredictable. , although they have been providing supplies to their own army, they have not responded positively to sending troops to the expedition. The low efficiency of their parliament has become a very good excuse.
Lygon becomes a stalemate node, and between Sambo and Moro is another ~IndoMTL.com~ strange confrontation and lack of intense fighting, it seems that both sides are happy to see this kind of inexplicable The situation of no war and no peace, but in fact the battle behind it has just begun.
"What are you waiting for? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The people of Xijiang are desperate. Now we only need to wave our hands, and the whole of Sanbao, Moro, Eastern Samoa and Lygon will be brought into our hands. And Ferge Island, Lulu Island, and Princesa will all return to our arms, why are you hesitating at such an opportunity?" The snow-white navy uniform was particularly eye-catching among a group of various national costumes, as the commander of the alliance navy Farragut was so excited, the invitation from the Machi Khans came at the right time, and the conditions they proposed were even more tempting. They only asked for a free port where a small amount of troops could be stationed, and all coastal ports and cities were Will belong to the Nanyang Alliance, where to find such a good thing? What's more, Xijiang has always been a serious problem for the alliance.
"General Farragut, you are so excited that it seems that your excitement has even blinded your mind. I have to remind you that your navy can rely on its own strength to ensure that the coastal ports will not be attacked by foreign military forces. Falling under the threat?" A shrill voice seemed to be holding his throat, which seemed quite feminine, but no one dared to underestimate him, with a half-bald head, long eyebrows and fine eyes, a senior member of the Nanyang Alliance Military Committee Commissioner, if you want to send troops, you need to persuade him first, and now he doesn't seem to be optimistic about the alliance's sending troops. His opinion almost represents the opinion of the Military Committee. It is not easy to overthrow the opinion of this stubborn old man.
