Chapter 1253

No one had ever thought that on such a cold winter night, a fierce fortress battle broke out in the fortress that had already penetrated a hundred miles deep in the Dutun Kingdom. The combat qualities shown by the Dutun people during foreign wars were indeed unsatisfactory. Whether it was the Biao Guard Corps or the Phoenix Corps, their performance seemed to be greatly reduced. Perhaps the officers and soldiers from the upper level were not optimistic about being involved in the civil war of the Tanghe people, which greatly reduced their combat effectiveness, but they still showed enough courage in the battle for Hailan Fortress.

Although the rapid attack of the Western Xinjiang Assault Army caused the Hailan Fortress to open the door, the surging Western Xinjiang Assault Army used their advantage in the early stage to almost immediately put the Duodun garrison, which was not much different in terms of force, and was unable to stand out in several barracks. The Western Xinjiang Assault Army also saw this. It was hard to control several key passes and force the Duodun defenders to be unable to deploy to facilitate their own side to invest all their troops. This situation also made the advantages of the Western Xinjiang Assault Army appear more prominent.

The two sides fought fiercely at the confluence of several military camps. In this environment, neither side could expand their troops to the maximum extent, but in this situation, it was obviously more beneficial to the Western Xinjiang Army. After all, they could easily deploy on the periphery during this period, especially in the arrangement of crossbowmen formations.

After all arrangements were settled, Luo Zifang issued a slaughter order. When countless phosphorus rockets flew into various military camps, Duoduan realized that the reason why these guys resisted the key gates of the camp gate was that they had such a vicious plan. But at this time, everything seemed to be too late. The phosphorus fire quickly caused several military camps to immediately ignite a fire.

The Duoduan Army, who had originally planned to form an attack formation in the military camp, became panic immediately. The previous calmness disappeared suddenly, and almost everyone lost their previous rationality and rushed towards the gate of the military camp. Some people had already begun to hit the thick stone wall with heavy hammers in an attempt to open a passage, but it seemed that this was not something that could be done in a short time. More people chose to break through the gate in panic. Although crossbows and spears built airtight lines at the gate of the camp, it was better than being turned into roast chicken in the military camp. Even if there was a glimmer of hope, the soldiers were willing to fight for it.

The rock-solid defense line has never been able to hold on for too long in the face of the desperate shock wave. With the same military strength between the two sides, it is unlikely to block the other side alive, especially the courage and passion that the soldiers burst out when facing death cannot be underestimated.

Although the Dutun people successfully highlighted their own military camp siege, it had nothing to do with Luo Zifang. The Western Xinjiang Assault Army had firmly controlled the entire fortress area. In order to break out of the cage, the Dutun soldiers paid almost three times the price. For each soldier, at least three comrades in the army paid their lives. The Western Xinjiang Assault Army, which had completely occupied the advantages of military strength and control, even carried out merciless suppression of these Dutun soldiers with less than 3,000 people. When the faint dawn light rose in the Okhotsk Bay, there were only less than 2,000 Dutun soldiers in the entire Hailan Fortress, and in total despair, there were only less than 2,000 Dutun soldiers who had surrendered in total despair.

Just when Luo Zifang took the Hailan Fortress in one go, the first and the eighth legion in the Western Xinjiang front of the Kuts and the Okhotsk region suddenly made efforts to advance into the Dutton Kingdom. Especially the second and fourth divisions of the First Legion in the Kuts area actually ignored the Dutton Third Corps, which was defending the front of the Kuts area, launched an attack from both wings, and advanced more than 60 miles to the Kuts area, forcing the Third Corps of the Dutton Kingdom to retreat in full, because they were worried that the second and third legion in the Okhotsk region and the Third Division of the First Legion as the General Reserve were following up. They were not sure what the strategic purpose of the Western Legion this time was. The third legion of the Dutton Kingdom retreated even more and retreated to the vicinity of Kuts city, and put on a stance of steadfast defense to ensure the safety of the central area of ​​the Kuts area.

As the ace regiment in the Western Xinjiang, the surprise attack of the First Legion did indeed catch Duo Duo who was prepared, because the attack launched by the First Legion did not break through the expected frontal breakthrough, but instead counterattacked from the flank. After receiving the support of the Sixth Ranger of the Western Xinjiang who was crossing the border from Yunzhong, the Fourth Division of the First Legion even advanced wildly along the Duo Duo and Puer border, and even advanced to eighty miles, vaguely oppressing Kuci City from the west.

At this time, no matter what the intentions of the people in the Western Xinjiang are, there is one thing that Duo Dun people seems to be sure, that is, the Western Xinjiang obviously wants to have a major battle in the Kutz area to retaliate against the Duo Dun people for participating in the battle in the Yunzhong, especially after the wild Western Xinjiang Rangers entered Duo Dun territory, it has caused great horror among the Duo Dun government and the opposition. If Western Xinjiang wants to use the battle against Duo Dun to add some glory to the crown that Li Wufeng is about to crown, the scale of the battle will be unpredictable.

Even the Prime Minister, Duke Mariinsky, who initially insisted that Li Wufeng would not promote large-scale wars during the period before and after the crowning, also became suspicious of his judgment. After all, Li Wufeng's thoughts are difficult to judge by common sense. How capable is he to restrain his superior soldiers and generals, especially in the act of these generals being able to add luster to the crown he is about to be crowned?

This fearful mentality forced the Dodon military to give priority to ensuring the stability of the defense line in the Kuts area when dispatching troops. The importance of the Kuts area forced the Dodon army to draw troops from the middle and rear to reinforce, and even sent a letter of help to the Pull Kingdom, asking for help. The two 10,000 teams sent to the Okhotsk region to strengthen defense were redirected to the Kuts area without any suspense. All this seemed to be rotating under Cheng Dayou's baton.

Just when the storm of the Kuts area was about to break out, the two main divisions of the Eighth Legion of the Western Xinjiang, together with the Third Division of the First Legion, suddenly launched a fierce attack from the junction between the Kuts area and the Okhotsk area. The ups and downs of the Okhotsk area did not bring much obstacles to the entire offensive operation. Although the three 10,000 teams of the Dutton Kingdom were prepared, they could only struggle to support under the impact of the Western Xinjiang army with absolute advantage and begged for reinforcements from the neighboring areas. The fall of Hailan Fortress almost made them completely desperate. Faced with the huge pressure of being attacked from both sides, the three 10,000 teams immediately dropped their positions and evacuated the northwest. The loss of Hailan Fortress not only puts them in the danger of being wiped out by the entire army, but also made them lose their meaning and value on the front line.

The aggressive momentum of the Western Army in the southern part of Dodon made the people in the Dodon Kingdom frightened the people in the Dodon Kingdom, and the uneasy atmosphere spread throughout the kingdom. Not only was the kingdom a sensation in the government and the country, but even His Majesty Andre and Duke Mariinsky, who had always been known for their calmness and calmness, felt uneasy. They didn't know what the Western Army planned to do. Do they really have to settle the Kingdom of Dodon completely? Although Crawford's prophecy was verified, this was no longer the greatest danger. After seizing the Okhotsk area, the Western Army seemed to be able to easily free up their hands to pose a threat to the Kuts area from two or even three directions, especially after the Western Army's Rangers and the Second Division of the First Legion broke into Dodon along the Puer-Dodon border, this danger became even more prominent.

Almost at the first time Andre signed the highest mobilization order in the country, and a large number of reserve soldiers entered the army to form three new corpses. This was the first time since the founding of the Dodon Kingdom, and the military organization exceeded 700,000 for the first time. On the other hand, not only did the garrison of the North suppression of the Boyin people be retracted, but the troops defending the Japanese on the Crescent Peninsula were also reduced to a dangerous level. The Kutz area is the core area in the southern part of Dodon, which not only implicates the vast territory in the central part, but more importantly, once Kutz is lost, Dutz The kingdom has almost lost its strategic depth. The flat area in the middle will directly face the impact of the Western Iron Cavalry. Even the capital will be within the influence of the Western Iron Cavalry Shock Wave. This is a reality that no one can accept. As for the loss of Okhotsk, the loss of Okhotsk has been placed in a secondary position. After all, Okhotsk's status is far from comparable to Kuts. Moreover, even if Okhotsk is lost, a defensive line can still be formed in its neighboring areas. Compared with Kuts' influence, it is simply not a level.

Fortunately, the Kutz area has always been a key defense area operated by the Dodon Kingdom. Given that the Kutz area and the central area connected to it are flat, in addition to the Kutz city defense system, a solid castle-style fortress is built in the southwest and southeast directions of Kutz city to strengthen control over the Kutz area. A castle-style fortress is also built behind Kutz city. Although it does not belong to the Kutz area, it still forms a huge overall defense circle with Kutz city.
