According to post-war analysis, the battle for the beachhead on the shore of Kunlun Lake should have been the best chance for the Maqi Khans to achieve victory, but the lack of experience allowed the Maqi Khans to waste this opportunity. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Many war historians speculate that if it weren't for the failure of the Maqi Khan's transportation bamboo raft to return in time to transport the second batch of soldiers, if it weren't for the fact that a number of high platforms were arranged on the beachhead in advance in Western Xinjiang to effectively contain the Maqi Khan's assault speed, if it wasn't for Wen Na personally putting on armor and going into battle at an emergency moment, if the Gaoyue militia, which played a huge role at the critical moment, was disbanded, any of these factors that seemed to be a bit of a fluke were missing, it could lead to the complete collapse of the entire defense line, and then the fate of Legon and even the outcome of the entire battle would be changed.

However, it is the combination of these accidents that inevitably makes the surface assault of the Maqi Khans fall short, not only losing as many as 20,000 elites, but also seriously dampening the morale of the Maqi Khans without support, and the Western Xinjiang Army also paid nearly 10,000 sacrifices in the fateful battle of life and death, and as many as 2,000 people were crippled for life in this battle, and the bloodiness of this battle can be seen from this. Later, although the Maqi Khans intensified their attack on the weak gate of the Legon defense, Wenna, who had found the defects, quickly adjusted the arrangement on the high platform, and a large number of heavy trebuchets were installed on the high platform, which greatly enhanced the long-range strike ability, and many bamboo rafts of the Maqi Khans who attacked later were broken by the trebuchet before they were close to the shore, and the impact of the huge stones was not something that the bamboo rafts and bamboo rafts could withstand, and each bamboo raft that successfully approached the shore had at least one other bamboo raft sunk as a price, that is to say, half of the attacking army died before it really entered the combat state, the soldiers floating in the water are undoubtedly the best targets for archers and spearmen.

The huge cost of losses made Pu Tiancheng finally have to give up this too cruel attack, so that the main battlefield returned to the city wall to attack and defend, but the unavoidable nightmare of the fire dragon cannon made every Maqi Khan who was about to participate in the siege battle shudder, although they were not afraid of death, but seeing the fireball that suddenly exploded in the air sprinkled like a popular fire rain, a little bit will turn people into a mass of charcoal, the effect of this fear far exceeds the actual lethality, and even the impact on the morale of the entire Maqi Khan army is immeasurable。

Legon, which used to be a delicacy in the eyes of the Mache Khans, became a hot potato that could not be swallowed and attacked, and it was firmly stuck in the throat of the Maqi Khans' march, and with the reinforcements of the Sixth Army stationed in Kutdam, the Mulig reinforcements finally arrived at the already fragmented city of Legon before exhausting the last bit of strength, and at this time, the commanders and soldiers of both sides had been worn out too much passion by this excessively bloody war, and even Pu Tiancheng, who had been pursuing offensive warfare, wrote in his own memory history decades later: " The battle for Legon is like a poisonous snake wrapped around my heart, the blood of Kunlun Lake and the blood and fire under the city of Legon alternately appear in my dreams after the day, so that I have not been able to calm down for many years, it is the most profound war I have experienced before, it has changed my view of Western Xinjiang, but also changed my view of war, war is no longer completely the struggle of soldiers and commanders of both sides, the competition of comprehensive strength between the two sides is more and more reflected in the war, especially the emergence of new weapons is even enough to play a huge role in determining the outcome of a war。 ”

At the same time, the battle for Kutdam was not shocking, because the main direction of attack was set on the Legon line, the Maqi Khans did not invest too many troops in the direction of Kutdam, and after the Sixth Army arrived in Kutdam, in fact, the Maqi Khans had given up the plan to break through from Kutdam and went south instead, but the stubborn resistance of the city of Legon made the Maqi Khans realize once again that the will to fight of the Western Frontier Army was by no means emperor [***] The team is comparable, and continuing to go south to seek a breakthrough from Sanbao has become the only option, of course, they will risk the logistics supply line being cut off by the western frontier, theoretically this choice should be a gamble, once the logistics supply is cut off, this army can only end in annihilation, but Pu Tiancheng and Mingzhong finally decided to gamble this time.

When the Maqi Khan's partial division, which had crossed the mountains and mountains to reach the rich coastal plains of the Great Nanyang, appeared in front of the Sanbao City, the garrison division of the Nanhai Dominion could not resist this menacing army without a city wall, and once the confrontation began, the Nanhai Garrison Division was defeated and was forced to withdraw from the Three Treasures, and in order to avoid unnecessary losses in the Three Treasures, Zhong Wenjing, the governor of the Nanhai Autonomous Territory, also instructed the officials of the Three Treasures to declare the Three Treasures an undefended city and agree to the entry of the Ma Khan army into the Three Treasures。

In fact, Mulig and Wenna also considered that the Macedhans might cross the Legon and the Three Treasures. The mountains between Moro sent troops to the Great South Seas, but the lack of troops made them only choose between Moro and the Three Treasures, and in comparison, the position of Moro is more important, once the Moro is occupied, the Three Treasures City will become an isolated island, even if the Maqi Khans do not make a move, they are afraid that the Nanyang Alliance, which has been ready to move, will also announce the takeover of the Three Treasures, rather than that, it is better to defend Moro, at least the Maqi Khans occupy the Three Treasures can also eliminate the idea of the Nanyang Alliance, and avoid the Nanyang Alliance from joining this war.

However, the Maqi Khan, a partial division, also became the end of the strong crossbow after occupying the Three Treasure City, crossing the lofty mountains between Lai Gong and the Three Treasures exhausted their physical strength, and also made them suffer, they were forced to discard all the extra equipment and weapons, if they didn't come too suddenly and the combat effectiveness of the South China Sea Garrison Division was really not flattering, maybe they would not even be able to take the Three Treasure City without the protection of the city wall, but even so they lost the momentum of moving forward, and it was already their best to maintain the status quo in the Three Treasure City。

This strange stalemate in the peninsula region should have been expected by neither side, and while Mulig and Wenna were sleepless day and night over the loss of the Three Treasures, Pu Tiancheng and Ming Zhong were sighing for the mountains between the Three Treasures and Legon. Moro was only defended by only one division, plus some naval garrisons, and the total number would not exceed 25,000, while the troops of Macedan assembled at Sambo to rest and recuperate exceeded 30,000, and a city like Moro, which did not have an inch of walls, prospered entirely on open harbors, and had almost zero defense on land, and could only rely entirely on the chests of the defending army to resist. Mu Lige and Wen Na didn't know how many more troops the Maqi Khans would send to cross the mountains between Sambao and Legon, but they knew that once the Maqi Khans really had the strength to cross this mountainous area, they were afraid that the entire Nanhai Dominion would only be subservient, and in the face of the huge pressure from Laigon, the Western Xinjiang side would no longer have the extra strength to take care of the coastal areas.

But in fact, it was not as bad as Mulig and Wenna imagined, crossing the Mulu Mountains between Sambo and Legon made the Maqi Khan soldiers who were accustomed to living in hot and dry areas suffer enough, the hot and humid climate made many of these soldiers suffer from skin diseases and dysentery, although they arrived at Sambo, but in fact the price paid for it was not small, so that they could not attack the nearby Moro at all, seeing this kind of scene, Pu Tiancheng and Mingzhong no longer dared to let the army pass through this area, and this kind of march that almost lost its general combat effectiveness was simply unheard of, not to mention that Legon had not yet been captured, and the attitude of the Nanyang Alliance in the east became unpredictable, although they have been supplying their own army, they have not responded positively to sending troops out of the army, and the inefficiency of their council has become a very good excuse.

Legon became a stalemate node, and between Sambo and Moro was another, a strange confrontation and a lack of fierce fighting, and it seemed that both sides were happy to see this inexplicable situation of no war and discord, when in fact the battle behind it had only just begun.

"What are you waiting for? This is a golden opportunity, the people of Western Xinjiang are desperate, and now we only need to wave our hands with a wave of our hand, and the whole of Sambo, Moro, Eastern Samoa, and Legon will be included in our hands, and the Isla Fortis, Egret Island, and Princesa will all return to our arms, what are you waiting for such an opportunity?" Dressed in a snow-white naval uniform, it looked particularly dazzling in a group of various national costumes, as the commander of the alliance navy, Farraghu was too excited, the invitation of the Maqi Khans came too timely, and the conditions they put forward were even more tempting, just asking for a free port where a small number of troops could be stationed, and all coastal ports and cities would belong to the South Sea Alliance, where to find such a good thing? Not to mention that the Western Xinjiang was originally a big problem for the alliance's henchmen.

"General Farraghu, you are so excited that it seems as if your excitement has even blinded your mind, and I have to remind you that your navy can ensure that the ports along the coast do not fall under an external military threat by its own power?" A high-pitched voice is like pinching his throat to speak, which looks quite feminine, but no one dares to underestimate him, with a half-bald head, long eyebrows and thin eyes, a senior member of the Military Committee of the South Seas Alliance, if you want to send troops, you first need to convince him, and now he doesn't seem to be optimistic about the Alliance's sending troops at all, his opinion almost represents the opinion of the Military Committee, and it is not easy to overturn the opinion of this stubborn old man.
