With an emergency reminder from the imperial capital, the sudden attack from the Machi Khan did not gain much advantage, and the war was almost ignited in Kutterdam and Legun at the same time. After experiencing the last ravage of the Machi Khan, Kutterdam's hatred for the Machi Khan rose to a very strong level. As the governor of the South China Sea Autonomous Territory, Jin Ning made good use of this. After learning that the Machi Khan might invade again, Jin Ning immediately issued martial law orders in Kutterdam and declared a state of emergency. The garrison immediately took over the administrative and public security powers of the entire Kutterdam. The enthusiasm of the Kutterdam people was immediately mobilized. The city defense facilities that had been strengthened were once again enriched. The people spontaneously organized a team of 20,000 people to help the defenders defend in the war. The gentry and merchants in the Kutterdam city even donated money and materials to prepare for the fight against the Machi Khan.

In contrast, the situation in Laigong is much worse, and the main problem is that it is the geographical location of Laigong City. Laigong City is built in the center of a basin in a low mountainous area, and the two hills next to Laigong City were occupied by the vanguard of the Maqikhans as soon as the war broke out. These two hills became the best posts to observe the city defense facilities of Laigong City.

The walls of Laigong City seem too weak and low compared to those in the Tanghe Empire due to local historical evolution and customs. Although they were renovated and improved after the last invasion of the South China League and the Maqi Khan, the city of Laigong City was irregular in shape, and there were even several miles of urban buildings in the east on the shore of Kunlun Lake in the resort holy land. When they realized that they might be facing the first vent of the Maqi Khan and the Nanyang Alliance, Laigong Prefecture and Zhongnan County spent a considerable amount of effort to improve the defensive system, which can be said to be quite harsh. The city walls were rebuilt on the north and south sides of Kunlun Lake and connected with the originally unconnected city walls, and built a small fortress on both sides to prevent possible breakthroughs from the enemy.

However, due to the wide and deep water surface of Kunlun Lake and the surrounding terrain, the surrounding area is almost entirely homes and villas of wealthy businessmen in the Nanhai Autonomous Territory and the Nanyang Alliance. It is almost impossible to build military facilities along the lake. Therefore, the city defense of Laigong City has a considerable gap in the waters of Kunlun Lake. To defend Laigong City, it is not only necessary to defeat the enemy who attempted to break the city on the city wall, but also to repel the enemy troops who attempted to swim from the water on the shore of Kunlun Lake. Such a defensive posture also brought considerable pressure to the Fourth Legion responsible for defending Laigong City.

The Maqikhans came quite suddenly, but it did not make the Laikhans nervous or frightened. The Fourth Legion had already completely taken over the city defense system of Laikhans. Although the city walls were a little low, given that they had only one legion to guard such a wide resistance and complex environment, Mulige and Wenna had intentionally strengthened the active defense capabilities of Zhucheng, the front-line bordering Maqikhans and the South China Alliance from the beginning. There is no need to say much about powerful weapons such as catapults, chain crossbows, etc., even the second-generation Fire Dragon Cannon Military Affairs Office, which had been secretly produced, made an exception to allocate eight items, and swept away all the inventory in the entire warehouse to strengthen the urban defense capabilities of the peninsula.

This improved fire dragon cannon is far from being as crude as the first generation fire dragon cannon. The fire-induced stimulant made of some special mineral yellow phosphorus is not just as simple as triggering combustion. After being hit by external forces, this fire-induced stimulant will explode. Although its power is only less than three meters in radius, it is already shocking enough. The cracked oil stains will splash on the objects used around it. The special nature of underground tincture oil will burn things that are stained with it to ashes before stopping. The development of this almost vicious weapon has already indicated that the war will become more and more cruel, and the result of the war will be increasingly affected by some advanced weapons.

However, although this weapon is powerful, its danger is enough to make everyone retreat. In order to create this so-called Fire Dragon shell, the Science and Technology Development Department has lost many excellent technicians, and the experimental field of the Science and Technology Development Department has been burned many times. This is why this Fire Dragon cannon cannot be widely promoted. The storage problem of this Fire Dragon shell alone will bring too much risk, and it is extremely dangerous even in urban defense, let alone used in sports field battles.

Although the advancement speed was quite fast, after actually reaching the city of Laigong, the Maqikhan army suddenly slowed down. It was obvious that they also knew that today's Laigong is not the Laigong of the past. If they want to break this city, they must be well prepared. When the black "Pu" character in the apricot yellow flag rose on the top of the hill in the north of Laigong City, Winner knew that the Maqikhan's Anguo General Pu Tiancheng had arrived.

Although he has been immersed in wars of all sizes for decades, Wenna never felt the heavy burden on his shoulders like he is now. Mulige had led two divisions to personally guard Kutterdam a few days ago. The defense mission of the entire city of Legun City was handed over to himself. The three main divisions and one security division were all the power in his hands. To outsiders, Mulige, as the commander of the legion, seemed to have deliberately avoided responsibility at this time, but Wenna knew that this was his partner who intended to let him show his command art in this battle in the Legun defense. Mulige left six of his only eight fire dragon cannons to himself, which was enough to prove his partner's sincerity. Wenna was only grateful.

What made Wenna feel embarrassed was the defense on the front line of Kunlun Lake. Although the Maqi Khans' naval forces were not very good at fighting power, Kunlun Lake was just a lake, not a barrier. Even ordinary troops could swim as long as they had enough time. In the eyes of the navy, such a long lake surface could not cause any obstacles. If they could seek a breakthrough from here, it would have an unexpected effect.

Wenna could even vaguely see a group of figures under Xinghuang on the hill opposite through a thousand-mile mirror swaying. First, the man was domineering and waving the horse whip in his hand and pointing out something. Judging from the other party's clothing and the attitude of the officers surrounding him, this person should be the general Anguo who is known as the best among the Maqi Khans to run and assault. Wenna has studied this person's tactical arrangements. What this person is best at is to attack and hide the world, use smoke to cover up his true intentions of fighting, and then implement fast maneuvers, use the use of combat to attack and attack local weaknesses, and succeed in one fell swoop. From the demise of Yuejing Kingdom to the battle of Ronesia and the offensive and defense of the Three Rivers, you can see this king's active performance. In Winna's view, if it is just an offensive battle, this king's performance should be the first among the three generals of Maqi Khan.

Now the Maqi Khans are using the Tiancheng to attack the southern line, and the Ming Dynasty has heavily suppressed Kutterdam, forming a joint force between the two lines. Due to the special geographical environment of the peninsula, whether it is the loss of Kutterdam or the loss of Laigong, it is very likely that the South Ocean Alliance, which is still in a wait-and-see state, will send troops, which will make the situation on the peninsula even more dangerous. If the Maqi Khans can be successfully blocked outside the cities of Laigong and Kutterdam, not only will the strategic intentions of the Maqi Khans not be realized, but the swaying fence-bearing grasses of the South Ocean Alliance will also restrain their ambitions and dare not act rashly.

To achieve this goal, we must rely on the insolid defensive system of Leigong City to firmly drag the Maqi Khans into this low hilly land, so that the Maqi Khans cannot advance the army deep into the peninsula. As long as the Kutterdam defense in the north arrives, we believe that mobile troops will be drawn soon to carry out reinforcements, especially the Maqi Khans' army penetrates deep into the peninsula. The logistics line is the biggest weakness. If we want to ultimately achieve the goal of forcing the Maqi Khans to retreat, we must work hard in this regard.

The people in the city of Laigong have started in all directions, and the voluntary formation of civilian teams exceeded 20,000. The last time the Maqikhans performed badly in Laigong still made the people of Laigong grit their teeth. When facing the Maqikhans' military attacks again, the Laigong people had no choice but to fight to the death and fight to the death.

Just as Wen Na was thinking about how to do it, the other party had already begun to camp the Maqikhan army around Leigong City, Pu Tiancheng was also struggling to fight this battle. Seven elite divisions were following him, and it was up to him to see whether he could fight the majesty of the Maqikhan in this battle.

Wenna was right. It was Putian Chengren who climbed the hill to observe the defense system of Laigong City. Although the defense system of Laigong City is not sound, especially the Kunlun Lake line, it seems that it is a natural gap that has been broken through. But Putiancheng does not think so. This well-known gap is afraid that the people in Xijiang will also be able to deploy heavy troops. Whether it is a shortcut or a trap now cannot be explained. The wall of Laigong City should be a good opportunity. This long and tortuous city wall provides the best attack area for one side.

As the troops arrived one after another, soldiers flocked in, and rows of military chess began to stand up. The heavy pressure made the sky dim suddenly. The soldiers were busy digging trenches and building deer forts. The tall and thick fences were quickly erected, which was necessary to deal with the Maqikhans' cavalry team, and they seemed a bit serious and square. The war was about to begin.
