While a thrilling scene was unfolding in Legon, the scramble for Kutdam was gradually entering the **. The Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info took over from Mulig to defend Kutdam, and soon felt the difference in momentum between the defensive battle here and the small-scale conventional conflict in Sanjiang, and the Maqi Khan soldiers here even revealed a crazy energy in their bones, perhaps infected by the bloody battle of Legon in the south, or perhaps under the pressure and encouragement of Bi Xili personally going to the front line to supervise the battle, and the battle for Kutdam, which could only be said to be dull and arduous, also quickly set off a storm.

The emergency arrival of the dragon cannon played a great role, but the quality of this dragon cannon does still have certain problems, often after continuous use, this kind of deterrent weapon is prone to failure, which also has a considerable impact on the defense of Kutdam, especially the city defense facilities of Kutdam can not be compared with the cities in the Sanjiang area, and the people of the peninsula have a considerable gap with the urban defense system in the empire whether they are in the scientific and technical surname of the city wall design or the strong surname of the city wall.

Schöne also quickly sensed that the Sixth Army would encounter a real baptism of blood and fire here, and compared to the test here, the Sixth Army's defensive operation in Sanjiang in the early stage was more like an actual combat exercise.

The rotational attacks of the five corps in Kutdam quickly pushed the two sides to the pinnacle of the contest here. Although it was a defensive battle, the Sixth Legion could still feel the heavy pressure of the opponent's attack on its side, and like Legon, the city of Kutdam was quickly damaged and trampled under the concentrated attack of the opponent. The success of the Maqi Khan people in the improvement of the crash car has been verified in Kutdam and Legon, the original kind of giant wood clad iron tip of the original crash car completely withdrew from the battlefield, replaced by a new crash car, this crash car to take the rotary type excavation operation drill bit, the use of spring and manpower combined to make the original impact head can rotate into the wall, to achieve the purpose of destroying the city wall, for the peninsula area with this kind of city wall built with mud embryo effect is wonderful, often a number of new crash car wheels attack can drill part of the wall into a thousand holes, if supplemented by a giant trebuchet bombardment, soon can make a breakthrough。

When the walls of Kutdam were broken little by little until they collapsed, when the power of the dragon cannon was so powerful that it still could not stop the frenzy of the Maqi Khan soldiers because of their presence on the front line, the only thing that could save Kutdam was the 100,000 soldiers of the Sixth Army themselves, at this time only the soldiers' bodies could really build a great wall of flesh and blood, and this repeated struggle on the city wall directly led to a sharp increase in casualties on both sides. When the reinforcements of the Second Army Corps arrived in Kutdam, the two weeks of bloody fighting directly led to a large reduction in the number of soldiers of the five divisions of the Sixth Army Corps, the first, second, and third divisions by 30%, and the 4th and 5th divisions with slightly weaker combat effectiveness were reduced by nearly half.

Of course, the tragic price was not without success, Kutdam was still firmly in the hands of the Sixth Army, and the number of corpses of the Macedhan soldiers above and below the city walls exceeded 60,000, so that the commander of the Macedan army in Kutdam, Mingzhong, almost had the urge to commit suicide. After two weeks of bloody fighting, the Maqi Khans seemed to have been worn out of courage and passion by this brutal war of attrition, and after the arrival of reinforcements from the Second Army, the Maqi Khans outside the city never launched another attack, which made the commander of the Sixth Army Corps, Shenei, who was both wounded, and Hillman, the commander of the First Division, scolded the Maqi Khans from their hospital beds.

Bichley never imagined that this battle would be so tragic and bloody, and even with his tenacity, he was still shocked by the scene before him. After seeing the madness and brutality of the battle for Kutdam, he thought he could face the world without moving, but he was still saddened by the stench and devastation that came over him as he stood beneath the shattered city of Legon.

Piles of flames rising in the air mixed with a pungent scorching stench, black smoke everywhere, the logistics soldiers on both sides are still hoping in vain to separate the corpses of their soldiers, layer by layer, one side on top of the other, the stones thrown by the machine are scattered around the wall that can no longer be called the city wall, broken military flag weapons, broken siege equipment, but more are still horizontal corpses, if you really want to use an adjective to describe, maybe the term ruins or ruins is relatively more accurate, but the dilapidated wall on a dazzling Jinpeng flag is still reminding everyone that the owner of the city is still from the western Xinjiang。

Suddenly, a depressed and heavy breath pressed towards his heart, making Bi Xili have a feeling of almost suffocation, such a heroic Ma Qi Khan son Lang is sleeping here, and their efforts have not been rewarded, this heart-rending pain makes Bi Xili can't help but look up to the sky and howl to vent his inner grief.

Seeing the King Khan suddenly roaring angrily, Pu Tiancheng, who had been following closely behind Bi Xili, felt his heart sink, he knew that the King Khan would definitely not be satisfied with this battle, but he didn't expect that the King Khan would use this way to express his inner anger on this occasion, he could even imagine what kind of criticism he would encounter, but Pu Tiancheng except for some guilt and apology for the dead soldiers in his heart, he found that his heart seemed to be quite calm.

"Tiancheng, is this the result of your fierce battle for several months?" Bi Xili's whistling echoed on the battlefield for a long time and did not dissipate, except for attracting a burst of surprised glances from the logistics soldiers on both sides, not many people paid attention, the whole battle in exchange for countless corpses and mountains of blood, anyone in this environment has been numb, there is nothing that can make them feel the shock and tension anymore, there is no great difficulty except death, except for turning into a pile of flesh and blood, a corpse, what else can be great?

"Your Majesty, Tiancheng has lived up to Your Majesty's expectations, please punish Your Majesty. In this case, Pu Tiancheng has no other language, his heart at this time seems to be very calm, such a result can not be accepted by anyone, months of fierce battles, 100,000 dead and wounded, but failed to advance half a step to the west of Legon, is this the result of this battle with the strength of the whole country?

"That's enough, I didn't want to listen to you today, could it be that this statement of tens of thousands of sons of my Macedan Khan can be exchanged in one sentence? What I want to hear is your real thoughts!" Finally furious, Bi Xili flicked his sleeves violently, this kind of situation is not only the first time to see the surrounding commanders, even Pu Tiancheng and the close attendants around Bi Xili have also seen it.

Pu Tiancheng's face was gloomy but he hung his head and said nothing, which made Bi Xili even more angry, and even his voice became a little cold: "What, Tiancheng? When did you learn to do this in front of me? Didn't you hear my question? What caused this war to come to this point, and what do you think of this battle? I asked clearly enough, right? Do you need me to repeat it again?!"

"Your Majesty, I don't think this is the time to reflect on what is causing this state of affairs, and perhaps we should consider something more urgent. Pu Tiancheng finally raised his head and replied to his Khan King in an unusually calm tone.

"More urgent matter?!" Bi Xili's eyes narrowed slightly, and even his gaze became more condensed, "Very good, finally said what you really think in your heart, okay, let's talk about it, I also want to hear what is the most important thing to consider now?"

Pu Tiancheng could feel his scalp tingle under the sharp gaze of the Great Khan, but he was not a person who liked to back down, and as long as he thought it was right, he would not back down easily.

"Your Majesty, in fact, you know very well in your heart that maybe it is time for us to consider the temporary withdrawal of troops. Pu Tiancheng's words were like bayonets, and finally pierced the gauze that had been haunting the hearts of many generals.

"Withdraw the troops?!" Sen Han's gaze swept coldly across the faces of the generals around him, and Bi Xili snorted heavily: "Hmph, is this the opinion of all of you?"

"Your Majesty doesn't have to embarrass them, this is Tiancheng's idea, this situation will only make more soldiers consume in this meat grinding machine, the second army of the Western Xinjiang people has been pressed from Kutdam and is about to arrive in Laigon, Li Wufeng still sent his new force to the peninsula under such a tense situation on his northern front, which shows that he attaches great importance to this place, this time he has made up his mind to compete with us here. The situation of the Second Army Corps in Western Xinjiang should also be clear to the Great Khan, their first division is the Gaoyue Infantry Division, and most of the other divisions have also experienced the competition with the Luzon and Luope, and their combat effectiveness is probably better than that of the fourth in Western Xinjiang that we are facing now. The Sixth Legion is superior, and most importantly, this army is a new force, and we, Your Majesty, our soldiers, are already a little war-weary, and the honor of our Maqi Khan soldiers and their incomparable loyalty to the Great Khan support them, and I hope that Your Majesty will carefully consider Tiancheng's proposal. ”

As soon as Pu Tiancheng's words came out, the whole scene became even more silent, and everyone's eyes subconsciously drooped, as if they wanted to avoid Bi Xili's gaze, and as if they agreed with Pu Tiancheng's opinion in this way.

"Ho ho, could it be that our men of Ma Qi Khan have become so cowardly, and one or two bloody battles will make you break your courage?" Bi Xili knew that his right-hand man's words were actually very reasonable, but how could such a result make him explain to the people at home?
