The special terrain of Brook Fortress did cause considerable trouble to the Tang army, the Tang army's attack wave had to slow down every time it approached the fortress wall, and the effect of the city rush in this situation was also greatly limited, the movable ladder was also suppressed, and the entire attack formation was like a person in the running suddenly stumbling, and he had to take a breath before continuing to advance.

Chang Hechun also did not expect the enemy's reaction to be so fast, he thought that his apparent retreat was to hide the other party's ears and eyes, and suddenly turned back and launched a fierce attack should be able to capture this fortress in one fell swoop, although this fortress is quite steep and strong, but in this prepared against unprepared situation, there is such a strong attack force, even if it is a certain price, but the final victory should belong to his side. But in fact, it was not as optimistic as he predicted, the counterattack of the Nan'an army was extremely fierce, and Chang Hechun had a taste that the other party was waiting for his side to attack, and the overwhelming stones and arrows rained down, almost all at once, the first two waves of his offensive were suppressed alive, which hurt morale considerably. Although the offensive that followed was no less ferocious, it was an ominous omen that choked on the minds of the officers of the Eighth Legion.

The Eighth Corps with the help of the initial sharp spirit was almost about to take the battle and win, but just the last step, the Nan'an Army desperately counterattacked, and the Tang Army rushed to the head of the city to suppress the troops, and finally this wave of offensive closest to the victory was unfortunately resolved, and after that, although the Tang Army frequently launched offensives, but under the desperate resistance of the Nan'an Army, it was no longer able to get a better result. Even so, the Tang army still firmly controls the initiative, the advantage is quite obvious, the Nan'an army is pressed on the city wall and has almost no respite, like a boat struggling in the storm, it may be subverted at any time, but it can always get away with it, especially the Tang army's poisonous fog attack was washed away by the sudden rainstorm, which made Chang Hechun cry without tears, and the Nan'an army also took this opportunity to get a respite.

According to this offensive continues, Chang Hechun believes that in less than two days, this Brooke Fortress will be able to prostrate at the foot of the Eighth Army, but there are too many variables in two days, the number of garrisons in the fortress on the Nan'an side is now only 20,000, and they naturally can't hold on to this powerful offensive, and once the enemy gets reinforcements, maybe all their efforts will be in vain, so Chang Hechun can't wait, he can only order his subordinates to launch an offensive at all costs with red eyes, only by taking the fortress, can he really let go of this breath。

When the Eighth Corps once again found that the enemy's counterattack force on the Kuruk Fortress had been greatly strengthened, Chang Hechun knew that his worries had become a reality, judging from the clothing of the enemy soldiers who participated in the defense of the city, these soldiers who joined later obviously did not belong to the Nan'an City Defense Army, and the blue-gray clothing proved that they were a special force active in the southern region of the Central Continent. The mercenaries, most of whom came from the Western Continent, were known for their loyalty and duty, and they were even much more effective than the Nan'an City Defense Army, and the methodical counterattack made the Eighth Army have to pay a greater price.

Chang Hechun decisively stopped this kind of strong attack that put the Eighth Army in a quagmire, when the enemy got reinforcements, this kind of attack seemed meaningless, the special terrain of Kuruk Fortress and the perfect defense system were not suitable for launching a strong attack, and the reason why it chose to break through from here was based on the fact that the enemy's garrison was successfully withdrawn from the situation that several armies were in absolute superiority, but this situation has changed, and it is pointless to continue this asymmetrical battle.

"Is everything ready?" Sitting on the healthy horse reservedly, Suleiman took a deep breath, the black iron disk dragon spear in his hand seemed to merge with her, the morning light sprinkled on her, the golden armor and the silver hair scattered under the helmet reflected each other, exuding a dazzling light, like a golden god of war standing in front of the army, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, waiting for this moment to come.

"Back to the boss, everything is ready to stop, just wait for your order!" Rao is Limbass has been in battle for a long time, but at this moment standing in front of the other party, he still can't help but feel excited, the other party's idea is too bold, but this is indeed a huge opportunity, lose this opportunity, the peninsula alliance in this region will always be able to follow the baton of the Tang Army, and will always be in a passive situation, and if this battle is won, it will greatly change the strategic situation of the entire region, forcing the Tang Army's edge to stay outside the border, this is a gamble, but it is a gamble worth fighting！

"Okay! General Limbass, you lead the northern front attack group to attack the city of Soktu, arrive under the city of Soktu within three days, and take the city of Soketu within five days! The rest of the generals are all with me to lead the attack group on the southern front, the target is the Fourth Army Corps of the Tang Army, we will catch turtles in the urn! Go!" The crisp and sonorous voice jumped and echoed in the air, and Suleiman took off his helmet and threw it to the ground: "If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent!"

"I am willing to advance and retreat with the commander!" The roar of thunder echoed like a turbulent sea wave throughout the position, and it did not stop for a long time.

On May 22, 700 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, when the Tang Army won successive victories in the Southwest War, the situation was abruptly reversed, and after the Peninsula Alliance secretly reached an armistice agreement with the Pasha Kingdom, the 250,000 troops under the command of the new commander of the Alliance, You"Night Rose" Suleiman, immediately returned to the division and marched eastward, launching an attack codenamed "Rose Covenant". The 250,000 Allied Peninsula Army, like a raging wave, divided into two routes, quickly broke through the territory of the Principality of Sessell into the territory of the Principality of Soktu.

On May 25, the Northern Front Attack Group arrived at Soketu, the capital of the Principality of Soketu, under the leadership of General Limbas, the deputy commander of the Allied Army, and the Fifth Division of the Fourth Army Corps fought a fierce battle with the Northern Front Attack Group in Soketu City, which lasted for six days, and on June 1, the Fifth Division of the Fourth Army Corps was forced to retreat after a week of fierce fighting, and was forced to retreat under the condition of huge losses, but they also successfully prevented the Allied Northern Front Cluster from trying to move south to join the Allied Army on the southern front, and the city of Soketu fell.

At the same time, Suleiman personally led 200,000 troops to attack the main force of the Fourth Army of the Tang Army, which had been informed of the rapid withdrawal from the mountains north of Nan'an, and successfully blocked the main force of the four divisions of the Fourth Army in the area of Huining Mountain in the south of Soktu, since May 26, the two sides broke out in the area of 60 square kilometers of land in the area of Huining Mountain, an unprecedented fierce battle broke out in the region, the battle lasted for a whole week, on June 2, the Fourth Army of the Tang Army finally concentrated heavy forces to break through the defense line of the Allied Army on the peninsula and withdraw from the territory of Soketu, and the 90,000 army was less than 40,000 people, and the Allied Army also paid a heavy priceMore than 70,000 people died in the battle.

After receiving the news of the all-out entry of the Peninsula Alliance, the army of the Republic of Sikkim also began a large-scale landing in the port of Nam An, and the Assembly of the Republic of Western Samoa also passed a vote on the matter of increasing the number of troops, deciding to recruit 20,000 mercenaries into battle, and the entire mainland region of the Middle East was quickly demoralized by this victory.

At the same time, Cheng Dayou, the commander of the Eighth Army Corps, also did not hesitate to give up control of the Poma Mountain military camp after the defeat of the Tang Army on the northern front at the first time, and returned east overnight as quickly as possible, and withdrew to East Samoa to rest before the Sikkim Army landed in the coastal area, while the main force of the Eighth Army also steadily retreated after the failure of the attack on the Kuruk fortress, and slowly retreated into the border line of East Samoa to station.

When Liang Chongxin received an urgent order from the Privy Council, it was already June 7, he led the First Army Corps in southern Burma, and the envoy from Yanjing called up the senior officials of the First Army almost overnight to announce the emergency appointment from the Privy Council, relieved Liang Chongxin of the post of commander of the First Army Corps, and replaced it with Song Tianxiong, and Qu Bo was promoted to the deputy commander of the First Army, Liang Chongxin was rumored to return north immediately, asking him to board a ship in Hanzhong and go east quickly, and His Majesty the Emperor would summon him in Yuhang.

Liang Chongxin smelled an unusual smell when the emergency order came from the Privy Council, and the special envoy of the Privy Council did not think that the emperor, who had already stepped down from office and was about to go east to be questioned by His Majesty the Emperor. Fang's first heavy general, the fiasco of the southwest war situation made that the re-attack couldn't help but be staggered, the Fourth Army and the Eighth Army suffered heavy losses almost at the same time, especially the Fourth Army suffered such a painful defeat, which made Liang Chongxin also feel heartbroken, Mu Lige had just met with himself and went north to Yanjing to take over the First Army, and the Fourth Army had undergone such a drastic change, I don't know what Mu Lige, who had just returned to Yanjing, would think?

The defeat of the Eighth Army was expected by Liang Chongxin, this army reorganized by the Taiping Army, although it was known as the first elite of the Taiping Army, but in the eyes of Liang Chongxin, this army had not experienced much real hard fighting, the difficulty of the Kuruk Fortress Liang Chongxin was aware of it, and the Nan'an people were able to choose a site to build a fortress here, it must have been considered, and the southern trade route, such an important checkpoint, is not so easy to take if you want to.

Paying such a big price but getting nothing, this battle is almost the call of the DPRK and China to oppose the light start of the war, I am afraid that it will rise again, and the former dynasty remnant Si Yushuang is afraid that he will also lash out at His Majesty the Emperor in the "Beijing Times", at this time, His Majesty the Emperor's feelings are a little bitter, thinking of this, Liang Chongxin couldn't help but sigh lightly.
