On the banks of the E River, 10 legions from the Western Front of the Mao Xiong Kingdom surged past like a torrent, their iron hooves shaking the earth, accompanied by the thunderous sound of horse hooves. Their goal is to get to Kra City. On the eastern front, the city of Il had been lost, making Kra the city an important strategic stronghold.
At the same time, Zuo Zongtang led 25 legions and 200 tanks and advanced eastward from the west of Central China. Their goal is clear, directed towards New West City.
As long as New West City is captured, the 20 armies of the Mao Xiong Kingdom on the eastern front will be surrounded, but the Chinese defenders in New West City will also be surrounded by the Mao Xiong Kingdom legions on both sides.
"Report, the reinforcements from the Bear Country have crossed New West City and are heading to Clark City."
The scout reported to Zuo Zongtang: "Report, the reinforcements from the Mao Xiong Kingdom have crossed New West City and are heading to Clark City." This news put the entire command headquarters into a tense atmosphere.
Zuo Zongtang's eyes were firm, and he knew the importance of the battle of New West City at this time to the entire war situation. He decisively issued the order: "The messenger, notify the whole army to start advancing at full speed and capture New West City." The words were short and powerful, and the messenger quickly conveyed the order.
Outside Xinxi City, Zuo Zongtang's army has been assembled.
They were ready to go and their morale was high. The tanks roared, and the Chinese soldiers drew their guns and prepared to charge into the battle.
The roar of cannon echoed through New West City. The Chinese artillerymen aimed at New West City, and the shells roared across the sky and landed in the position.
The explosions were deafening, the smoke filled the air, and the tanks roared into battle. Like giant steel beasts, they rolled over the ruins and rushed towards the Mao Xiong Kingdom's position. The shells roared out of the tank's muzzle and landed on the enemy's position, exploding huge craters. The soldiers of the Mao Xiong Kingdom were caught off guard when they faced off against tanks for the first time. Their bullets were completely unable to penetrate the tank's armor.
The Chinese soldiers were hiding behind the tanks, holding rifles and aiming at the enemy in the distance. Following the commander's order, the riflemen opened fire in unison, raining bullets on the Mao Xiongguo position. The soldiers of the Bear Country fell in a hail of bullets.
"Commander, these Chinese armored vehicles are really invulnerable. If this continues, we will soon be unable to hold on."
The adjutant shouted to the commander of Mao Xiongguo. The violent explosion had already made their ears ring.
"The reinforcements to support the eastern front have just arrived, and it is too late to bring them back now. We only have 5 legions, and the Chinese side may have more than 10 legions."
The commander of Mao Xiongguo is also becoming more and more desperate. The Chinese army is really ridiculously strong. It feels like they are not of the same era as their soldiers.
The smoke of war filled the air, and the baptism of blood and fire made the land heavy and desolate. The shouts of the soldiers, the neighing of the war horses, and the roar of artillery fire were intertwined to form a poignant and heroic war symphony.
Not long after, the Chinese infantry launched an all-out charge under the command of Zuo Zongtang, and the fate of New West City hung on a thread.
The Chinese army and the Mao Xiong Kingdom army launched a life and death battle.
The fighting continued late into the night, and the streets of New West City became narrow and dark. The two armies fought fiercely in the dark alley, with fire and smoke filling every corner.
Chinese soldiers used walls and ruins as cover, sometimes jumping out to shoot and sometimes throwing grenades.
Not to be outdone, the soldiers of the Mao Xiong Kingdom launched a fierce street battle with the Chinese army by relying on the complex terrain of the lanes.
Gunshots and explosions occurred one after another, and fire lit up the dark streets. In this life-and-death struggle, every soldier showed his tenacious fighting will.
Suddenly, a group of Chinese soldiers rushed towards the headquarters of New West City from the side. The commander of the Mao Xiong Kingdom responded quickly and mobilized troops to fight back. The two sides entered a stalemate.
Every charge and every defense is full of heroism and sacrifice.
The night gradually recedes, and New West City slowly wakes up in the morning light. The soldiers of the Chinese army lay tired but contentedly on the street. After a night of fierce fighting, they successfully captured New West City.
Zuo Zongtang stood on the city wall, looking at the battlefield in the distance. He knew that this victory was hard-won and every soldier had made great efforts and sacrifices.
Outside the city, a group of Mao Xiong soldiers were silently cleaning up the mess. Their commander looked heavy. He knew that they had lost too many comrades in this battle and had also lost control of New West City.
Slaughtering cities, burning, killing, and looting are often a reward for soldiers. They are very common in the wars between the Mao Xiong Kingdom and other countries in the Western Continent.
The people in New West City closed their doors tightly, fearing that they would be massacred at any time.
Time gradually passed, and seeing no movement, the people began to walk out of their homes one after another. They saw the Chinese soldiers lying on the street, which made them awe. In this era, it is really impossible to find an army like this.
