===Varshan counteroffensive===

As Varshan's [[invasion of Cetsencalia]] found increased battlefield gains, Varshan command saw fit to transfer back 50 divisions to the Xisheng front, where the Corummese offensive was bogged down 45 km north of Shimrra. The sudden influx of battle hardened reinforcements saw the reversal of the limited Corummese gains within weeks, forcing them back to the Amox river, and then back across it. These setbacks forced field marshal [[Bort Borg]] to finally recall the bulk of the [[Army of Conquest]] from the north in order to salvage the worsening situation. Now Varshan forces crossed the Amox and began capturing several towns while Corummese forces only put up desultory resistance before retreating to avoid being destroyed in pitched battle by overwhelming Varshani numbers. In a matter of weeks the Corummese army lost the towns of Khaw, Hong Guo, Mian, Baiga, Shul, Cheshen, Waguo, Chongzi and Anqi alongside most of the border fortifications. Corummese forces repositioned alongside the Wajj-Gouda-Sard axis to try and prevent a Varshani breakthrough.

The Varshani attempt to capture the centrally located town of Gouda saw the first combat use of chemical weapons in the war. Deployed by the [[Army of Conquest]] through rockets, sarin and chlorine gas attacks led to thousands of Varshani soldiers suffocating in the southernmost districts of Gouda. Continued chemical attacks forced the Varshani to evacuate their forces south towards Waguo.
