A defensive line cannot remain in a precarious state forever; it will either be breached by the enemy or become increasingly fortified and unbreakable.
So, when the Dwarf Troops of Furnace Fortress began to gradually lose ground, they found it difficult to hold on to the remaining positions.
After a few blocks changed hands under the Tang Army's offensive, the dwarf's flank defense lines began to experience large-scale instability: some troops chose to surrender, while others conceded their positions and chose to shrink back.
Marshal Xie Ke attempted to prevent this from happening continuously; he replaced several frontline commanders and dispatched more Supervisory Battalions, which barely stabilized the situation.
However, the lost positions were beyond recovery; the dwarves could only reinforce their existing lines, making it more difficult for the Tang Army to advance.
