Section 112: Earthshaking

Claudia gritted her teeth and stared at the forward's breakthrough attack with her blood-red eyes. The attack was not going well, especially when it encountered a large number of fortifications such as trenches/stops and fences. The attack encountered great difficulties. Although these fortifications did not stop the progress of his cavalry with the help of infantry, time had been consumed too much of these things, and the enemy blocked them extremely tenaciously. Almost every inch of land had to be fought over and over again to succeed. After each retreat, the enemy could always rebuild a new line of defense in a short time. With such a step-by-step progress, Claudia could not imagine when he could reach the foot of Fanlin City at such a speed.

The supervising sword in his hand had fallen down two centurions who had withdrawn without orders. Claudia could not imagine what spirit it was that made these Western Region men change from Li Wufeng's enemy to his loyal subordinates. He even tortured and interrogated several seriously injured prisoners, but found nothing. According to the other party, fairness and justice could make millions of Western Regions people surrender to Li Wufeng, and the world was a little too simple. But Claudia had to admit that he had indeed underestimated the Western Region soldiers who were blocking his way. He originally thought that only a few charges could make these miscellaneous troops in the Western Frontier military system fall into pieces, but he did not expect that the tenacity and courage he showed could be compared with the elite army in the Kaman army.

Another attack wave was declared to fail, and the armored cavalry seemed a little uncomfortable in the face of the various fortifications that the enemy dug and arranged. This was also the main reason that limited the attack efficiency of their army. However, the enemy was too prepared. A large number of traps and pits were arranged at multiple road passes, and even some major roads were destroyed. The baggage truck had to stop and wait for the road to repair. These situations greatly affected the morale of the troops.

Seeing the cold air revealed between the main general's teeth, several ten thousand cavalrymen were surrounded by some shadows. Even the two miscellaneous corps of the Western Frontier Army could have such combat power. Although it is not comparable to our own side, what if the First Western Frontier Army, who is now attacking Fanlin City, is coming to intercept its own troops? This is simply not a matter of thought.

Claudia's cold eyes were circling several ten thousand cavalry captains, obviously considering how to open up this dull situation. This situation must not continue, otherwise he would become a sinner of the entire empire. Once Fanlin fell, the negative impact would be unpredictable. I am afraid that the morale of the entire empire's army would suffer a devastating blow.

"Telgen! Oga! This time, you two are on the Wanqi team and the Wanqi team! Note that once the Wanqi team in Oga destroys the enemy's defense line, your Wanqi team must immediately follow the breakthrough. Today, you must take the hill ahead for me! If the mission is not completed, you two bring us a head to see you! Finderson, your Wanqi team follows and cover to help them break through! I must see Fanlin City tomorrow!" Almost burst out from the hardship with ice, Claudia's tone had no room for bargaining. Now that the battle situation has come to this point, if you don't take ruthless measures, it will really cause a disaster.

After exchanging motivational glances with each other, the three men in armor clasped their fists and said with great voice: "Don't worry, I will ensure that I will complete the task!"

Another round of attacks began. This time the Kamans seemed extremely cunning. The infantry swept in irregular shapes from all directions, and soon covered the entire defense line. This time the enemy was obviously prepared. In addition to protecting the engineers in the middle to quickly destroy various fortifications and tear them into several huge holes, these infantry were also extremely fierce. They were in a desperate position in the face of the counterattack of their own troops and fought to the death on the spot. Faced with the counterattack of their own small groups of cavalry, the Kamans also seemed very experienced. Relying on heavy infantry as support points, they kept raiding their own cavalry with bows and arrows. Due to the limitations of the terrain, they also had an impact on their own cavalry. Such a battle quickly turned into a battle between infantry.

Davati carefully observed the enemy's tactics. It seemed that this time it was difficult to stop the enemy's breakthrough. Several fortifications were quickly destroyed by the enemy's engineers. Once the fortifications were destroyed, the enemy's armored cavalry would immediately follow. If they were not careful, they would be divided and surrounded by the enemy. At this time, the enemy's infantry was so dazzling and obviously wanted to hold back the steps of their subordinates. Now it would be too late to retreat.

With a wave of his hand, the messenger immediately signaled to blow the horn of the bull. The low trumpet rippled in the wilderness of shouting and killing. The soldiers of Western Xinjiang who heard the horn quickly got rid of the entanglement and ran back. Of course, there were a few unfortunate people who could not get rid of it and were drowned in the increasing wave of enemy soldiers.

Davati sighed slightly. This Western Region man sighed for the third time today. The task assigned by the commander was too difficult. Davati was not a soldier who was afraid of war and death. This passionate man from Kuche believed that he would never frown even when the blade entered his neck. However, this was his first experience of such a fierce and cruel war, which made him deeply feel the importance of responsibility on his shoulders.

Although he and the two corps of Udai have no less than ten thousand troops than the other side's army, and although he has always been proud of his men's performance, he must admit that the combat effectiveness of the Kamans is indeed stronger than that of himself and the two corps of Udai. The great reputation of the Kamans' Royal Guards is definitely not out of thin air. Only then did Davati truly understand why the commander was so serious when he assigned this task.

However, he wanted to make a military order. But the strength of the enemy does not mean that he will do nothing and be scared. This instead aroused Davati's ambition and arrogance. Although the successive blocking and attacks brought unprecedented huge losses to his troops, at least one thing he could proudly stand up in front of the coach, that is, the Seventh and Eighth Mixed Corps successfully delayed the enemy's attack progress, allowing the enemy to advance less than sixty miles in five days.

However, the severe situation also made Davati realize that it was difficult to rely on his own corps and the Eighth Corps to block the enemy's attack. The commander-in-chief had sent a letter to ask whether he needed reinforcements two days ago, but he was flatly rejected. But now, the cruelty is in front of him. There are less than 30,000 elite soldiers of the two corps now able to fight. The fatigue intensity of the soldiers has reached its limit. Perhaps the Kamans charge twice tomorrow and their defense line will really collapse. Honor is important, but it must not miss the opportunity to fight. If it is because of the passion of the men in the Western Regions

If you force yourself to hold on, once a crisis occurs, the life and death of the two corpses are trivial matters. If the plan of the Fanlin battle is delayed, then you will be unable to redeem your sins. However, now the Fanlin siege battle has entered a critical moment, and the city has fallen for only two days. If you propose reinforcements at this time, will it affect the arrangement of the commander? This series of troubles lingered Davati. Maybe it is time to discuss with Udai about requesting reinforcements. If the enemy's offensive remains unabated tomorrow, how long can this line of defense withstand? Even if you can survive tomorrow, what about the day after tomorrow? Davati is not sure.

The defense line of the people in the Western Xinjiang was finally broken. Looking at the retreating enemy, Claudia nodded with satisfaction. Tiergen and Oga cooperated well, and their two attacks completely destroyed the enemy's confidence in resistance. It seemed that they could finally reach the city of Fanlin tomorrow. Claudia finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the losses suffered by her side were quite large, Claudia also knew that the enemy had also paid a considerable price to intercept him. Now it was finally time for the clouds to clear the fog to disperse the true chapter.

Holding the Qianli Mile Mile and wanting to enjoy the scene of the enemy's retreat, but there are ignorant people who come to interrupt Claudia's interest that he finally cultivated.

"Kishang, a special envoy from China has arrived and said that there is an emergency to inform you."

I was impatiently waving his hand to signal the adjutant to wait for a while, but it seemed that his adjutant's tone was a little strange. He moved his heart and turned around. Seeing the gray-faced adjutant's lips squirming, his eyes were full of despair. He was shocked. Claudia stared at the other party: "What happened? Why did this expression?"

"Kishang, the situation in the country has changed. We, we," said this, the adjutant looked sad and seemed to be unable to bear to continue talking.

A trance-difficult feeling suddenly came. Claudia, who had not slept well for several nights, felt that her eyes were dark and her body shook. Fortunately, the adjutant reacted quickly and hurriedly supported him.

"What's going on? What's going on in China? Tell me, huh?" He shook his head and calmed his mind. Claudia knew that he was so panicked at this time, otherwise he would be on the front line of the battlefield, and he was afraid that the news would cause an uncontrollable situation as soon as it spread.

The adjutant's face turned from white to blue, and said tragically: "According to the special envoy, the domestic situation has changed drastically. The Baiyinren tore up the peace agreement to be signed and launched the largest attack on the north of the empire. Many areas in the north have fallen. The Mazagler Fortress has been captured by the Baiyinren, and Murmansk is also surrounded by the Baiyinren army. Prime Minister Gomez has resigned from his position as prime minister. The current prime minister is the Duke of Huaxili, while the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister are the Duke of Knox. He is the last time he conveys orders as the special envoy of Prime Minister Gomez."
