The change in the tide of war is never beyond the control of the will of the initiators and participants of the war, and the fighting on the Western and Central Fronts may seem violent at first, but when the war actually unfolds, the situation is very different. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In January 702 of the mainland Gregorian calendar, when the Siathrow Empire confidently entered the northwest county of the Tang Empire in the hope of taking the Ganlan Fortress and Yinchuan in one fell swoop, it suffered an unprecedented setback, and the tenacious layer of the Ganlan Fortress and Yinchuan City were each other's horns after the two ranger regiments of Luope entered this area, and the Siathrow people found that although they surpassed the Kaman in terms of total number of troops, the Siathrow army, which had not experienced much of the baptism of hard war, was far from being comparable to the Kaman army in terms of fighting will and combat experience, and could only stay at the level of the Poole army at most, especially in the attack on the fortification, they looked even more immature and helpless in front of the well-prepared Tang army.

The Siathrow infantry was hit head-to-head under the Ganlan Fortress and Yinchuan City, and the Siathrow army, which was accustomed to field warfare, realized how difficult it was to conquer the castle built by the Tang people for strategic defense.

After two consecutive weeks of attacks costing the Sithlos tens of thousands of people, the Sithlos realized that the Ganlan Fortress and Yinchuan City were purely defensive fortresses specially designed for their own side, fully equipped with storm crossbows, powerful thunderstorms, sudden fire teams, echelon-equipped catapults, unheard-of poison gas bombs, and the unanimous military and civilian defense, the Sithlos almost lost their confidence in battle.

Even the commander-in-chief of operations admitted that the prediction of the course of the war was completely wishful thinking, and that the Tang Army spared no effort in preparing for the possible siege measures against its own army, which greatly offset its superiority in troops, and the single crude means and lack of experience exposed by its own side in the siege war made it even worse, and it was inevitable that it would suffer such a heavy setback. And the ubiquitous Tang Rangers have become a nightmare for the Sithloes, no matter the night and day, those elusive rangers will always appear when the Sithro army is most tired and lax, and the logistics supply troops have been hit by the destruction of the surname, three of the four groups of transport teams have been attacked, even if a large number of light cavalry escorts are still unguardable.

After a month passed, the Sithro realized how unrealistic his original idea was, after realizing that it was a suicidal act to attack Yinchuan and Ganlan Fortress at the same time, the Sithro people finally chose Ganlan Fortress as the first breakthrough point, and after paying the price of 100,000 people, Ganlan Fortress was finally taken to save face, but whether this was the Tang Army's intention to give up or was really conquered, the Sithro people had no confidence in their hearts, after all, nearly 20,000 Tang troops escaped from the iron bucket encirclement with the help of the rangers It is really a shame that people don't want to mention。

In more than a month, coupled with the loss of more than 100,000 casualties under Yinchuan City, only one Ganlan fortress was almost razed to the ground, which was unacceptable to the Sithroes. At this moment, they had to admit how pale the military strength they thought had surpassed the Kamans now looked, and the strength of the army was always established in war, not by training, but this lesson was too big, and it might even be described as a mortal mistake. They didn't even know what to do next, whether to continue such a suicidal attack or wait for the Kamans to break through in Gerok?

Compared to the poor performance of the Sithroes on the battlefield of the Northwest County, the performance of the Kamans on the battlefield of Gerok is remarkable. After successfully using the attack on Van Lin City to force the main force of the Tang army to reinforce, the Kaman people's confrontation with the Tang army outside Van Lin City caused great damage to the Tang army, and the battle situation entered a stalemate for a time.

But just when the Tang Army won the victory on the Eastern Front and was confidently preparing to put the Eastern Front Army into the middle line to give the Carmen the final blow, the Siathrow elite Kulem Corps and the Seventh Corps of the Kaman people as the general reserve finally appeared, and these two corps rushed to launch an unprecedented scale of battle against the Eighth Army and the Eleventh Army of the Tang Army before the Eastern Front Army of the Tang Army joined the battlefield on the middle line, the Eighth Army and the Eleventh Army and the Fifth Army suffered heavy blows, the losses of the Eighth Army and the Eleventh Army exceeded sixty percent, the Tang Army was forced to withdraw from the Van Lin area and retreat to the Wolf Mountain line, and the Kaman people finally gained a foothold in the land of Gerok after paying a lot of price, although it was only a Van Lin City that had almost lost its strategic significance.

The great victory of the Tang Army on the Eastern Front also made the joyful smiles of the Kaman people only have time to solidify on their faces, and the Eastern Front army continued to march into Yulin, Qinghe, Wolf Mountain and the first line of Jiama formed a counter-encirclement posture against the Kaman army that had just had time to gain a foothold in Van Lin, which made the Kaman people feel great pressure again, the total annihilation of the Poole army and the rout of the Dodons made the success of the Kaman army in Van Lin City meaningless, and it may even become a burden, and the poor performance of the Sithroes in the northwest county made the Kaman coach Claudia want to cry without tears, hundreds of thousands of Sithro troops were stuck in the quagmire of the Northwest County and could not move, and even asked the Kaman army to help them, Claudia couldn't believe that the once glorious level of the Sithro army had become like this。

In this case, Claudia is already considering whether this war will continue, without the help of the Poole and Dodons, and the Boin people in the north have also begun to frequently launch large-scale offensives in the border area, the north of the Liboa countries are facing great pressure, this battle has lost the hope of victory, so that if it continues, more of the strength of the Kaman Empire will be wasted here, and the Tang Dynasty, which has begun to accumulate strength, will definitely take advantage of the cold winter to launch a spring offensive, and it will be unknown whether the Kamans can evacuate Gerlock。 It's just that such a colorless tail between the legs seems to predict that the Liberian countries will usher in a difficult era, and the Tang Dynasty will never stop there, and this military adventure of the Liberians that has almost exhausted all their potential is actually a complete defeat, maybe the Kaman and Sithlo can hold on, but what about the Poole and the Dodons?

A series of cruel questions made Claudia fall into despair, he didn't know how to face all this, the crisis in the country because of the massive debt has begun to affect the lower class of the common people, the large increase in taxes not only made the small and medium-sized nobles angry, but also made the commoners who felt the soaring prices from complaints to protests, Vasiri and Knox both expressed their willingness to resign, which means that the imperial political situation may face another period of great turmoil, and Gomez has clearly rejected the request to be re-prime minister, and the empire is also in a stalemate, what to do？

On February 28, 702 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, when the people of the Tang Empire had not yet fully come out of the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival, the Kaman army suddenly withdrew from the Fanlin area without warning, and hundreds of thousands of troops completed the withdrawal from Fanlin almost within three days, so that the imperial eastern front army that had just entered this area did not even have time to make a proper response. On the same day, the army of the Sithro Empire also withdrew from the Ganlan fortress, which had cost countless costs, and hundreds of thousands of troops also retreated from the Ganlan fortress to Nuremberg in a way that almost fled.

After nearly two months of war, everything seems to have returned to its original state, except for the mess left behind. But everyone knew that a new period of great change had just arrived, and in the face of the joint provocation of the Liberya, the Maqi Khan, and the Wa, the reaction of the enraged Tang Empire would bring unprecedented changes to the entire Eastern Continent.

With the retreat of the Liberians on all fronts, the Japanese who landed in the Chengshanjiao area of Laizhou soon fell into a desperate situation, except for a few who escaped by sea, most of them were pursued by marines and rangers from Yanyun County, and the development of the desert islands in the Marbun Islands area and the upcoming Northern Canal project of the Empire would be their best place.

The entire Eastern Continent seems to have calmed down all of a sudden, even after the Triple Alliance Army occupied the Medan region in the east of Maqi Khan, it seems that it has consciously stopped and maintained a confrontation with the Maqi Khan army, all because the central political axe of the Tang Empire has maintained a strange state of silence on the various changes in the situation during this period of time, although the media around the country is in full swing, and even debating when the empire will set off a campaign against the Liboa countries and other ideas, but even the imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs refused to express opinions and comments on the complete retreat of the Liboa people and the stalemate of the war situation on the southern frontIts spokesman only said blandly that the Imperial Central Political Axe is assessing the current situation and will deliver a State of the Union address in due course.
