Chapter 710, Kra Isthmus
When the cavalry corps of the Condor Army threshed grass and withdrew to the mainland one after another, the Pacific Fleet of the Condor Navy successfully reached the waters of Vietnam.
After a short period of repairs, the Condor Navy's Pacific Fleet immediately launched a full-scale attack on the coastlines of Thailand and Cambodia.
Faced with the elusive Condor Navy and Merfolk Legion, players in Thailand and Cambodia have no choice but to move their coastal populations inland.
They have grasped the weakness of the Condor Navy that cannot penetrate deep into the interior, and are ready to play a game with the Condor Navy in the coastal area.
Seeing that the enemy did not dare to respond, the commander of the Pacific Fleet of the Condor Navy immediately ordered people to plunder the resources of the coastal area, and then entered the Java Sea along the Malay Peninsula.
After learning that the Condor Navy was sailing in the direction of the Java Sea, the naval fleet of the Indo-Malaysian coalition immediately fled from the Sunda Strait into the Indian Ocean, not giving the Condor Navy any chance at all.
Unable to find the Indo-Malaysian naval fleet, the Condor Pacific Fleet had to circle around Kalimantan Island and cause some trouble for the Indo-Malaysian forces on the island, and then returned to Saigon Bay.
Just when everyone thought that the Condor Navy would be silent for a while, they suddenly killed a horse gun and raided the Kra Isthmus area on the Malay Peninsula.
Unlike the previous looting and leaving, the Condor Navy had no intention of leaving this time.
After landing in the Chumphon area, Xie Yu led the main force of the Mermaid Legion to march inland, and behind them were the players of the Three Dragons Regiment.
Kra Isthmus is a narrow strip of land in the provinces of Chumphon and Ranong, Thailand, and is the narrowest point in the northern part of the Malay Peninsula, with a width of only 56 kilometers.
The Kra Isthmus is connected to the Indochina Peninsula in the north and the Malay Peninsula in the south, and about 400 kilometers south of the isthmus are all Thai territory, with the narrowest point of more than 50 kilometers, the widest point of about 190 kilometers, and the highest point is 75 meters above sea level.
In the game, although the territory of many countries has been magnified to varying degrees, the famous landmark of the Kra Isthmus has been perfectly restored, and in the game, it is still only 56 kilometers wide.
After the Condor Navy found that it was impossible to continue to expand the results of the war, they worked out a strategic plan with the Condor Army stationed in Vietnam County to encircle Wei and save Zhao.
Although Thailand does not share a border with Vietnamese counties, they are one of the three main forces to invade Vietnamese counties because of their relative proximity.
In order to reduce the defensive pressure of the Condor Army in Vietnam, the Condor Navy's Pacific Fleet decided to use its maritime superiority to open up a new battlefield and force Thai players to return to the country.
If it were elsewhere, with the current material reserves of the Condor Empire, it would be basically impossible for the Condor Army to open up new battlefields, but in the Malay Peninsula, the impossible became possible.
The fifty-six-kilometer-wide Kra Isthmus didn't require the Condor Army to send too many troops, and 100,000 players of the Three Dragons Regiment were enough to deploy there.
After capturing Bannano and Kraburi, the Condor Navy transported an army of 200,000 players from Hainan Island to the Malay Peninsula.
Then an army of 300,000 players immediately built fortifications at the narrowest point of the Kra Isthmus.
While the players were building fortifications, Xie Yu led the merfolk army to launch a ferocious assault on the coastal areas on the north and south sides of the Kra Isthmus.
In the face of the fierce attack of the Condor Navy, the Thai army in the Malay Peninsula simply did not have time to regain the lost Kra Isthmus area.
By the time the Merfolk retreated, the Condor Empire's Player Legion had managed to erect two fifty-six-kilometer-long trenches that had cut Thailand in half along the Kra Isthmus.
After leaving behind an army of 100,000 players to defend the Kra Isthmus, the players of the Three Dragons immediately attacked the southern region of the Kra Isthmus.
In the vicinity of Pado, the 3rd Regiment of the Tenlong met the Thai army who had come to regain the Kra Isthmus, and the enemy and the enemy engaged in a fierce battle in the Pado area.
Produced by Hualongchi, it must be a high-quality product. With the multi-racial advantage of the baptism of the dragon pool, the players of the three dragon groups quickly gained the upper hand, and the Thai players were defeated one after another.
However, when the Thai war elephant army was dispatched, the situation quickly turned around.
In the face of the rough-skinned and thick-skinned war elephants, the orc players of the Dragon Legion suddenly suffered heavy casualties.
Taking advantage of the war elephants, the Thai players played bulldozer tactics and suppressed the players of the Condor Empire to keep retreating.
When the flying legion of the 3rd Regiment of Tenglong wanted to fly above the war elephant and use the spike to kill the war elephant, the Thai army following the war elephant immediately began to rain arrows.
After heavy casualties, the flying corps of the three regiments of Tenglong had no choice but to retreat.
In this way, with the invincible army of war elephants, the Thai army successfully approached the line of defense of the Condor Army on the Kra Isthmus.
Facing the invincible war elephants, the players of the three regiments of Tenglong were all at a loss, and just as they were about to defend the Kra Isthmus, Xie Yu found them.
When Xie Yu left the camp of the Tenglong Third Regiment, on the second day, the army of more than 100,000 players of the Condor Empire launched another onslaught against the Thai army.
With the advent of the Thai War Elephant Legion, the players of the Three Dragons were defeated again.
Just as the Thai army began to pursue the player army of the Condor Empire, preparing to annihilate it in one fell swoop and recapture the Kra Isthmus, Xie Yu led the 100,000 mermaid army down the river and successfully circled behind the Thai army.
Led by a team of player Angel warriors, Xie Yu led the merfolk army to successfully capture the empty camp defended by the Thai army, and then burned all the supplies in the camp with one fire.
When they discovered that a fire was raging in the rear, the Thai troops on the front line immediately realized that their camp had been attacked.
The thought of all the food and grass being destroyed made the eyes of many soldiers show despair.
Grain and grass are life for the army, and if they lose food and grass, no matter how elite the army is, it will completely collapse, especially those war elephants in their army, which consume a lot of food every day.
Now that all the food and grass have been destroyed, they will either withdraw their troops immediately or continue to advance.
If they choose to withdraw, then this army is 100% doomed, because they will not be able to return to their rear stations without food.
And there is still a chance to move on, as long as they capture the enemy's garrison on the Kra Isthmus, they can capture the enemy's food and continue to live.
After weighing the gains and losses, the commander of the Thai army quickly made a decision and advanced the whole army, vowing to capture the Kra Isthmus.
