Seige of Dalore

The Seige of Dalore also referred to as Battle for Dalore was a major military struggle during the Weian Wars on the planet Espa in the mid 20th century CC.
Being one of the bloodiest battles of early modern history on the planet it saw 850,000 Krenn die in a nearly 1 year long struggle to expel alliance forces from the trade hub city of Dalore.
==Prelude and Invasion of Central Sona==
During Spring 1956 CC an invasion force of 1.4 million Krenn were readied in the Arvat Marshes under direct leadership of Genge'Zhai, the largest armed force Espa had seen up till this point who on the second of Malinar began his invasion of the Jerico Confederacy which had been chosen as the prime target because of its weak political structure, The confederacy was overwhelmed and knocked out in a month, the Wei took control of the ports and closed them to all Evalyn and Cadernian ships, after this the army immediately turned north, Genge'zhai knew he needed to reach Dalore before the allies had time to reach the city and enforce it.
The allies at the same moment were rushing their fleets to the city, Genge’zhai reached the sea about 800 km west of Dalore and in late summer stood before the gates of Dalore, however the Evalyn Fleet had beaten him too it, and Genge’zhai would witness to one of the bloodiest sieges in Krenn history.
Genge'Zhais army arrived to find the Evalyn fleet evacuating the nearly 1 million inhabitants out of the city, about 300,000 Brezian Soldiers were stationed there alongside 500,000 Doroanese soldiers. The Seige of Dalore would be a decisive conflict, Dalore was the single most important trade hub between East and West Sona, its fall would not only grant the Wei access to the Silmar Sea but also be an important land hub to march even further west.
The battle for Dalore went on for over a year during which the city was laid to waste in a conflict unprecedented on Espa, With 800,000 enemy troops laying within the city, Genge’Zhai ordered artillery bombardment of the city, which went on for 4 months destroying over 90% of the buildings and killing over 300,000 then Genge'Zhai started to move into the city in an attempt to drive the defenders into the sea a push that went on for an additional 7 months because of the constant and unchallenged Evalyn supply lines. By the time the city was taken over 850,000 Krenn had died and Genge’Zhai did not have enough men left for a subsequent invasion of Carsia from the east.
==Aftermath==
Having his army reduced to roughly 700,000 men Genge'Zhai lacked the man power to capture Carsia.
