No one would have thought that on such a cold winter night, in the fortress that had penetrated hundreds of miles deep into the territory of the Doton Kingdom, such a fierce battle for the fortress would suddenly break out. www.biquge.info The combat quality shown by the Duoton people in the foreign war is indeed not flattering, whether it is the Biao Guard Corps or the Phoenix Corps, their performance is very substandard, perhaps from the upper senior generals to the middle and lower level officers and soldiers are not very optimistic, and the involvement in the civil war of the Tanghe people has greatly reduced their combat effectiveness, but they still showed enough courage in the battle for the Hailan Fortress.

Although the rapid attack of the Western Xinjiang Assault Army made the Hailan Fortress suddenly open the door, the surging Western Xinjiang Assault Army took advantage of their early victory, and almost immediately pressed the Doton garrison, which was not much different in strength, into several military camps and could not stand out, and the Western Xinjiang Assault Army also saw this, and desperately tried to control several key passes, forcing the Doton defenders to never be able to deploy in order to facilitate their own side to invest all their troops, and this situation also made the advantage of the Western Xinjiang Assault Army more prominent.

The two sides fought fiercely at the confluence of several military camps, and this environment made it impossible for both sides to spread their forces to the maximum, but this situation was obviously more beneficial to the Western Xinjiang Army, after all, they could deploy easily on the periphery during this time, especially in the arrangement of crossbowmen formations.

When everything was stopped, Luo Zifang resolutely issued a slaughter order, and when countless phosphorus rockets flew into the various military camps, Duo Dun realized that the reason why these guys resisted the camp gate and did not retreat was that they had such a vicious plan, but at this time it seemed that everything was a little too late, and the phosphorus fire quickly caused several military camps to immediately ignite under the drive of dry climate and changing wind direction.

The Dodon Army, which had originally planned to assemble in an attack formation in the barracks and force a breakthrough, immediately panicked, and the previous calm and calm disappeared at once, and almost all of them lost their previous sanity at once, and swarmed towards the gate of the barracks, pounced, and some had begun to hit the thick stone wall with heavy mallets in an attempt to open a passage, but it seemed that this was not possible in a short time. More people chose to break through the gate in a panic, although crossbow arrows and spears formed an impermeable defense line at the camp gate, but in any case it was better than being turned into a roast chicken alive in the barracks, even if there was a glimmer of hope, the soldiers were willing to fight for it.

The rock-solid defensive line never lasted long in the face of the desperate shock wave, and it was impossible to block the other side alive when the two sides were of similar military strength, especially the courage and passion of the soldiers in the face of death should not be underestimated.

Although the Duotun people successfully highlighted the encirclement of their own military camp, it was no longer relevant to Luo Zifang, the Western Xinjiang Assault Army had firmly controlled the entire fortress area, and in order to break out of the cage, the Duotun soldiers paid almost three times the price, and for each soldier who rushed out, at least three comrades paid for it. The Western Frontier Assault Army, which had completely occupied the superiority in terms of strength and control, took a merciless approach to these less than 3,000 Doton soldiers, and when the faint morning sun rose in the Okhotsk Bay, there were already less than 2,000 Doton soldiers in the entire Hailan fortress who raised their hands and surrendered in complete despair.

Just when Luo Zifang seized the Hailan Fortress in one go, the 1st and 8th Army Corps of Western Xinjiang in front of the Kuts area and the Okhotsk region suddenly exerted their strength and advanced into the territory of the Doton Kingdom in an all-round way, especially the 2nd and 4th divisions of the 1st Army Corps in the Kuts area actually ignored the 3rd Corps of the Doton Army in front of the Kuts area, launched an attack from both flanks, and broke through to the Kutz area for more than 60 miles, forcing the 3rd Corps of the Doton Kingdom to fully retreat, because it was worried that the 2nd and 4th Divisions of the 8th Army Corps in the Okhotsk area were afraid of the 2nd and 2nd Corps of the Eighth Army in the Khotsk area. The Third Army Corps and the Third Division of the First Army Corps, which served as the general reserve, followed up in an all-round way, and it was not clear what the strategic purpose of the Western Frontier Army was this time, and the Third Corps of the Doton Kingdom retreated even more, retreating to the vicinity of the city of Kuts, putting on a posture of holding firm and defending to ensure the safety of the central area of the Kuts area.

As the ace of the Western Xinjiang Legion, the surprise attack of the First Army did catch the prepared Doton side by surprise, because the attack launched by the First Army did not break through from the expected front, but instead counterattacked from the flank, and after receiving the support of the Sixth Ranger Regiment of the Western Xinjiang that crossed the border from the clouds, the Fourth Division of the First Army even opened and closed its fierce advance along the border of Doton and Poole, and even advanced to the territory of eighty miles, faintly pressing the city of Kutz from the west.

At this time, no matter what the intentions of the people of the Western Xinjiang were, there is one thing that the people of Doton seem to be sure, that is, the Western Xinjiang side obviously wants to have a general battle in the Kutz area to avenge the betrayal of the Dodon people for participating in the battle in the clouds, especially after the wild Western Xinjiang rangers entered the territory of Dodon, which has caused great consternation among the Doton government and the opposition, if the Western Xinjiang Anxin wants to use the battle against Doton to add some glory to the crown that Li Wufeng is about to be crowned, then the scale of this battle is difficult to predict.

Even Prime Minister Duke Mariinsky, who had initially insisted that Li Wufeng would not promote large-scale warfare in the period before and after his coronation, doubted his own judgment, after all, Li Wufeng's mind is difficult to judge with common sense, and how much he can restrain his arrogant soldiers, especially if he indulges these generals intentionally or unintentionally in the way they can add glory to the crown he is about to be crowned?

This panic forced the Doton military to give priority to ensuring the stability of the defense line in the Kuts area when dispatching troops, and the important surnames in the Kuts region forced the Doton army to draw reinforcements from the middle and rear, and even sent a letter of request for help to the Poole Kingdom, and the original two 10,000 troops sent to the Okhotsk region to strengthen the defense were rerouted to the Kuts area without suspense, and all this seemed to be turning under the baton of Cheng Dayou.

Just when the turbulent battle in the Kuts area was about to break out, the two main divisions of the Eighth Army Corps in Western Xinjiang and the Third Division of the First Army Corps suddenly launched a fierce attack from the junction between the Kuts region and the Okhotsk region, the undulating terrain of the Okhotsk region did not bring much hindrance to the entire offensive operation, although the 30,000 troops of the Doton Kingdom were prepared, but they could only support under the impact of the overwhelming superiority of the Western Xinjiang Army, and pleaded with the neighboring areas for reinforcements, and the fall of the Hylan fortress almost made them completely desperate, and in the face of the huge pressure of the enemy on their backs, the 30,000 troops immediately abandoned their positions and withdrew to the northwestThe loss of the Hyland Fortress not only put them in danger of annihilation, but also made them lose their meaning and value in holding on to the front line.

The aggressive momentum of the Western Frontier Army in the southern region of Dodon made the people in the Doton Kingdom frightened, and the uneasy atmosphere spread throughout the kingdom, not only the kingdom and the opposition were in an uproar, but even His Majesty Andrei and Duke Mariinsky, who have always been known for their calmness and calmness, also felt uneasy, they didn't know what the Western Frontier Army was planning to do, did they really want to completely end up with the Dodon Kingdom? Crawford's prophecy was confirmed, but it was not the greatest danger, and after the capture of the Okhotsk region, it seemed that the Western Army could easily free up its hands to pose a threat to the Kuts region from two or even three directions, especially after the Rangers of the Western Army and the 2nd Division of the 1st Army broke into the territory of Doton along the border between Poole and Doton.

Almost immediately, Andrei signed the highest mobilization order in the country, and a large number of reservists entered the army to form three new corps, which was already the first time since the founding of the kingdom of Dodon, and the army strength exceeded 700,000 for the first time. On the other hand, not only was the garrison of the northern Boin suppressed, but the army defending against the Japanese on the Crescent Peninsula was also reduced to a dangerous level. The Kuts region is the core area of the southern part of Dodon, which not only implicates the vast territory in the central region, but more importantly, once the Kutz is lost, the Doton kingdom has almost lost its strategic depth, and the central Pingchuan region will directly face the impact of the Western Xinjiang Iron Cavalry, and even the capital will be within the influence of the Western Xinjiang Iron Cavalry shock wave, which is a reality that no one can accept. As for the loss of Okhotsk, the problem has been put on the back burner, after all, the status of Okhotsk is far from being comparable to that of Kuts, and even if Okhotsk is lost, a defensive line can still be formed in its immediate vicinity, which is simply not a level compared to the influence of Kuts.

Fortunately, the Kuts area has always been the key defense area operated by the Doton Kingdom, in view of the fact that the Kuts area and the central area that it is connected with are all flat rivers, in addition to the Kuts city defense system is quite perfect, there are strong castle-like fortresses built in the southwest and southeast of the Kuts City to strengthen the control of the Kuts area, and there are also castle-like fortresses behind the Kuts City, although they do not belong to the Kuts area, but they still form a huge overall defense circle with the Cutters City.

A steady stream of Dodon armies from the central and eastern regions to the Kuts region has shown that the Dodons have shown their determination and momentum to defend the Kuts region to the death, and Andrei III even made it clear at the Korea-China conference that there will be no compromise on the battle in the Kuts region, and the Doton kingdom will not accept the reality of losing the Kuts region.
