According to post-war analysis, this battle for the beachheads on Kunlun Lake should be the best opportunity for the Maqi Khan to win, but the lack of experience made the Maqi Khan wasted this opportunity. Many war historians speculated that if it were not for the Maqi Khan's transportation, the bamboo rafts that failed to return in time to transport the second batch of soldiers, if it were not for the Xijiang pre-arranged multiple high platforms on the beach, effectively restraining the Maqi Khan's assault speed, if Wenna had not personally put on armor at the critical 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 lucky, could lead to the complete collapse of the entire defense line, and thus change the fate of Laigong and even the end of the entire battle.

However, it was these accidental combinations that inevitably made the surface assault of the Maqi Khans fail. Not only did they lose more than 20,000 elite troops, but the lack of support also seriously damaged the morale of the Maqi Khans. In that life-and-death battle that can be regarded as a destiny, the Western Xinjiang Army also sacrificed nearly 10,000 people, and more than 2,000 people were disabled for life in this battle. This shows the blood of this battle. Later, although the Maqi Khans increased their offense against this weak gate in Laigong's defense, Wenna, who had discovered the defect, quickly adjusted it.

The arrangement of the high platform was carried out, a large number of heavy trenchers were installed on the high platform, which greatly enhanced the long-range strike capability. Many bamboo rafts of the Maqi Khan who attacked later were shattered by the trenchers before they even approached the shore. The impact of the huge stones was not something that bamboo rafts and bamboo rafts could withstand. Each bamboo raft that successfully approached the shore was at the cost of the sinking of another bamboo raft. In other words, half of the troops that launched the attack died before they really entered the combat state. The soldiers floating in the water were undoubtedly the best targets for archers and spearmen.

The huge cost of losses made Pu Tiancheng finally have to give up this cruel attack, allowing the main battlefield to return to the attack and defense of the city wall. However, the unavoidable nightmare of the Fire Dragon Cannon made every Maqikhan who was about to participate in the siege. Although they were not afraid of death, they saw the fireballs that suddenly exploded in the air like a popular fire rain. If they touched a little, they would turn people into a ball of coke. The effect of this fear far exceeded the actual lethality, and even the impact on the morale of the entire Maqikhan army was immeasurable.

The food used to be the eyes of the Maqi Khans has become a hot potato that cannot be swallowed and cannot be avoided. It is firmly stuck on the throat of the Maqi Khans' march. With the 6th Legion's reinforcements entering Kutterdam, Mulige's reinforcements finally arrived at the already fragmented city of Laigong before exhausting their last points. At this time, the commanders and soldiers of both sides have been worn out by this excessive bloody war. Even Pu Tiancheng, who has always pursued the offensive war, wrote in his memories decades later: "The Laigong Fight."

The battle was like a poisonous snake lingering in my heart. The blood of Kunlun Lake and the blood fire under the city of Laigong alternately appeared in my future dreams, which made me unable to calm down for many years. It was the most profound war I had before this. It changed my view of Western Xinjiang and also changed my view of war. War is no longer entirely a struggle between soldiers and commanders of both sides. The competition of comprehensive strength between the two sides is increasingly reflected in wars, especially the emergence of new weapons is even enough to play a huge role in controlling the ending of a war."

At the same time, the battle for Kutterdam seemed calm. Since the main attack direction was set at the front line of Legung, the Maqi Khans did not invest too much force in the direction of Kutterdam. After the Sixth Army arrived in Kutterdam, the Maqi Khans had actually given up their plan to break through from Kutterdam and turned to the south. However, the tenacious blockade of Legung City made the Maqi Khans realize once again that the fighting will of the Western Xinjiang army was by no means comparable to the imperial army, and continuing to go south to seek breakthroughs from Sanbao became the only choice. Of course, they would risk the logistics supply line being cut off by Western Xinjiang. Theoretically, this choice should be a gamble. Once the logistics supply is cut off, the army can only end in annihilation, but Pu Tiancheng and Mingzhong finally decided to bet this time.

The gambling of Putiancheng and Mingzhong was rewarded. The weak defense of Sanbao City could not resist this strange soldier from the north. When the Maqikhan partial division, who crossed mountains and ridges to the rich coastal plains of the South China Ocean, appeared in front of Sanbao City, the security division of the Nanhai Autonomous Territory could not resist this fierce army without a city wall. Once the battle was fought, the Nanhai Guard Division failed and was forced to withdraw from Sanbao. In order to avoid unnecessary losses from Sanbao City, Zhong Wenjing, the Governor of the Nanhai Autonomous Territory, also instructed the officials of Sanbao City to declare Sanbao City an unteceded city and agreed to the Maqikhan army to enter Sanbao City.

In fact, Mulige and Wenna also considered that the Maqi Khan might have crossed the mountains between Laigong and Sanbao. The mountains between Moro were sent to the South Ocean, but the lack of troops allowed them to choose one between Moro and Sanbao. In comparison, Moro's position was more important. Once Moro was occupied, the Sanbao City would become an isolated island. Even if the Maqi Khan did not take action, the Nanyang Alliance, which had been ready to move, would announce that it would take over Sanbao. Instead of that, it would be better to defend Moro. At least the Maqi Khan could defeat the idea of ​​the Nanyang Alliance and prevent the Nanyang Alliance from joining this battle.

However, after occupying the Sanbao City, the partial division of the Maqi Khans became the last of their strength. Climbing over the mountains and ridges between Laigong and Sanbao exhausted their physical strength and made them suffer. They were forced to discard all their extra gear and weapons. If they hadn't been too sudden and the combat power of the South China Sea Guard Division was really unsatisfactory, maybe they would not even be able to take down Sanbao City without the protection of the city wall, but even so, they lost the momentum to move forward and were able to maintain the status quo in Sanbao City.

This strange stalemate in the peninsula area should have not been expected by both sides. When Mulige and Wenna were so nervous about the loss of Sanbao that they could not sleep day and night, Pu Tiancheng, like Mingzhong, sighed endlessly for the mountains between Sanbao and Laigong. Moro only had one division to defend, plus some naval guards, the overall number would not exceed 25,000, while Maqihan gathered in Sanbao rest and recuperated troops, more than 30,000 troops. A city like Moro that had no inch of the city wall was completely

The defense of the open harbor was almost zero on the land, and it could only rely entirely on the chests of the guards to resist. Mulige and Wenna did not know how many troops the Maqi Khan would send across the mountains between Sanbao and Laigong, but the two knew that once the Maqi Khan really had the strength to cross this mountain, I was afraid that the entire South China Sea Autonomous Territory would have to bow down and surrender. Faced with the huge pressure from Laigong, the Western Xinjiang no longer had the extra strength to take care of the coastal areas.

But in fact, it is not as bad as Mulige and Wenna imagined. The crossing of the Mulu Mountain between Sanbao and Legon made the Maqikhan soldiers who were accustomed to living in hot and dry areas suffer a lot. The damp and hot climate caused many of these soldiers to suffer from skin diseases and dysentery. Although they arrived at Sanbao, the price paid for it was not small, so that they could not attack Moro next to them. Seeing this situation, everyone in Tiancheng and Mingzhong would never dare to let the army pass through this area. This kind of marching that almost lost its general combat power was unheard of. Moreover, Legon had not yet captured, and the attitude of the South China Alliance in the east became unpredictable. Although they had been providing supplies to their own troops, they had never responded positively to the dispatch of troops to the expedition. The inefficiency of their parliament became a very good excuse.

Laigong became a stalemate, and there was another between Sanbao and Moro, a strange confrontation and lack of fierce war. It seemed that both sides were happy to see this inexplicable situation of non-war and disagreement, but in fact the battle behind it had just begun.

"What are you waiting for? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The people of Xijiang are desperate. Now we only need to wave our hands. The entire Sanbao, Moro, East Samoa and Legon will be included in our hands. Virgin Island, Lu Island and Princesa will all return to our arms. What are you still hesitating about for such an opportunity?" A snow-white naval uniform was particularly dazzling among a group of ethnic costumes of various colors. Faragou, as the commander of the Alliance naval navy, was so excited. The invitation from the Maqikhans came too timely, and the conditions they put forward were even more attractive. They were just asking for a free port that could station a small number of troops, and all coastal ports and cities will belong to the Nanyang Alliance. Where can I find such a good thing? Moreover, Xijiang was originally a major trouble for the Alliance.

"General Faragu, you are so excited that your excitement even blinds your mind. I have to remind you, can your navy use its own strength to ensure that the coastal ports will not fall under the threat of foreign military?" A sharp voice was like talking with a pinch of his voice, which seemed quite feminine, but no one dared to underestimate him. He had a half-bare head and long eyebrows. A senior member of the Military Commission of the South China Federation of Alliance, if he wanted to send troops, he had to convince him first. Now he did not seem to be optimistic about the military commission at all. His opinions almost represented the opinions of the Military Commission. It was not easy to overturn the view of this stubborn old man.
