After calming down, Bai Zhizhan also felt that his worries were a bit redundant.

Although the Alliance Alliance successfully landed in Beixuan area and the Great Empire had to make strategic adjustments, the current situation was more like a return to the future.

If the troops are insufficient, it can even be said that they completely lose their strategic initiative. Any counterattack initiated by the alliance group will not have a good result.

Forced landing in Beixuan area is actually a dangerous situation.

The key is to use all the fleet in one direction, which leads to no way to deal with the Allied Group's attack in other directions.

The several adjustments made by the imperial authorities have been clearly targeted.

In addition, the combat consumption must be included.

Although Newland Federation has the world's most powerful industrial system, it is not inferior to the Liangxia Empire, but it has no capable ally.

I won’t say much about the Nayi Empire, and it has long been defeated.

The Kingdom of Bran is just a yellow flower yesterday, or it is leveraging its capital. Relying on the colony's blood transfusion, it can barely compete with the super hegemony. After losing the most important colony, that is, the Varo region, the Kingdom of Bran, which has no capital to leverage, is at most a second-rate country.

The Luosha Federation was only slightly better than the Empire period, but compared with the two strong neighbors on the world island, it was still not strong. The key is that 20 years were too short, and it was impossible to move the Luosha Federation from a serf society to an industrialized palace.

The allies are too weak, and no matter how powerful the Newland Federation is, it is hard to support it.

To be said, the problem of shortage of materials has always existed, but it was not very obvious in the past, and only the affected Kingdom of Bran and the Federation of Luosha.

If you continue to consume it so desperately, the Newland military and civilians will soon taste the taste of tight supplies.

On November 17, the Army launched a combat operation to march into the Boi State.

In addition to sending airborne troops to seize the airport behind the enemy's defense line as planned, the army's armored forces also launched an attack from the front.

For the Boy army, which is seriously lacking anti-armored weapons, the only thing they can rely on is the rugged and complex terrain.

On the same day, the Army's assault forces began to advance westward.

However, the pioneer was the cavalry unit of the Republic of Ter.

Actually, this is part of the plan.

According to the initial plan, the Xifan Canal was marched by land only to restrain the enemy.

Now, it has become the main attack direction.

Fortunately, the Republic of Ther did not object to such adjustments.

In any case, this is related to the life and death of the Tor Man Empire. The Republic of Ter joined the Allied Group mainly in its hope to maintain its relationship with the Tor Man Empire.

If you want to say, the Republic of Ter does not attach much importance to its relationship with the Liangxia Empire.

When the Torman Empire was facing severe tests, the Republic of Ter had no reason to look at it on the wall, and it must take into account the overall situation.

On the side of Kibu Fortress, the offensive operation was relatively smooth.

On the night of November 22, the army's assault forces went against the norm and launched an assault without any preliminary preparations, especially artillery fire preparations, breaking through the last line of defense set up by Bran's army in the northwest of the fortress in one fell swoop, and opening a detour to the south.

By the early morning of the 23rd, the army had expanded its breakthrough and defeated Bran's army that launched a counterattack.

Because to the south is the flat Somalia Peninsula and there is no danger to defend, Bran's army began to shrink towards the fortress on the 23rd.

Unfortunately, the retreat speed is too slow.

The fierce battle lasted until the 25th. Under the cover of the artillery fire of the support fleet, or the support fleet, it used artillery fire to open the way, breaking through the last line of defense set by the Bran army on the south side of the fortress, achieving a comprehensive encirclement of the fortress, and winning the most critical victory.

At this point, the Kibu Fortress was completely surrounded.

The last time a similar situation occurred was after Chen Bingxun died in his country!

Before this, less than 50,000 Bran was locked in and withdrawn the fortress in time, so the total force of the fortress would definitely not exceed 100,000.

There are at least 200,000 people blocked outside the fortress!

The fortress was surrounded and the sea route was completely cut off. Not to mention that there were only 100,000 defenders, even if there were a million troops, they would not be able to defend the fortress!

What's more, the imperial army came prepared.

After completing the full encirclement of the fortress, the army did not rush to attack the fortress, but began to build fortifications and build a temporary port on the south side of the fortress.

After the transport ship was able to dock, the army first pulled up heavy artillery that could not be transported from the ground.

Although there are naval fleets to provide support, the army is more willing to use its own artillery, especially heavy mortars specially developed for attacking fortresses.

It's a large caliber mortar.

This super killer comes from the Great Man Empire.

Before the war broke out, in order to break through the defense lines set up by the Rock Republic along the border, especially the fortresses in the Arden forest, open up ground transportation lines, and ensure that the logistics support of the assault troops will not be cut off, the Tauman Empire spent a lot of effort to develop special weapons to attack the fortress.

As a result, this is a super artillery gun that can fire 1 ton of special shells.

Because the barrel is forged separately, the caliber of each siege cannon is different. When used, the shells need to be equipped with ammunition belts polished according to the caliber.

It's a bit troublesome, but compared to the value, it's nothing.

After the Luosha Federation reversed the waters, the empire brought in design drawings for siege cannons, then imitated several puppets, and sent them to the northwest battlefield for actual combat inspection. The effect was surprisingly good.

The key is that the siege cannon's trajectory is very curved.

Of course, this is also a characteristic of a mortar.

Relying on high-spreading trajectory, siege cannons can directly bombard the enemy's fortifications and are equipped with shells that use delayed time fuses to deal with fortifications.

In ideal cases, a 1-ton shell would be smashed almost vertically.

Obviously, this is something that the navy's heavy artillery cannot do.

Because it is attacking directly from the top, even the strong fortress cannot be stopped.

What to say is the psychological pressure caused by this.

Starting from November 30, after the first siege cannon was deployed, it began to bombard the Kibu Fortress at a speed of one shot per hour.

From this moment on, the fortress became no longer safe.

The siege cannon has a very powerful power, but its accuracy is not very good.

The main reason is that the tube is short and each shell must be covered with an elastic belt. The elastic belt is made temporarily, so there must be a big error.

For the Bran soldiers guarding the fortress, no one knew where the next shell would explode.

At this point, there is no need to attack the fortress.

In theory, as long as the sea control power is still in the hands of the Imperial Navy, then you only need to siege to force the Bran army in the fortress to surrender.

In fact, the fortress was seized through siege.

The key is that there is no sufficient water source in the fortress, and the reserves cannot be much more. With the continuous artillery attacks, the defenders can last for a few months at most. Even if they make sufficient preparations and have to persist for half a year, they can only expect a miracle to happen.

That's why the Navy took new actions after the Army surrounded the fortress.

Starting from November 23, the Navy sent dozens of minesweepers into the Mande Strait to clear the mines laid out by the Royal Bran Navy.

By the last day of November, a safe channel was finally cleared that allowed the fleet to pass through.
Chapter completed!
