Chapter 1174 – Country War Motive

6th month, 1st day, Peacock Dynasty’s 700 thousand strong army gathered at the border of Great Xia’s Hetao Province, looking really aggressive. Along with them were 100 thousand combat occupation players.

At the same time, Gupta Dynasty used the ocean route. Under the protection of their squadron, they would either disembark on the south of Hetao Province or the southwest of Hanoi Province.

Gupta Dynasty’s plan was that if they restrained the Heluo legion corps, they would be able to create a chance for Java. At the same time, it could help split up some of the pressure that Peacock Dynasty was facing on the main battlefield.

Killing two birds with one stone.

Great Xia’s reaction appeared a little ‘sour’.

The Nanjing Legion corps and the Heluo Legion corps defended the various islands to fend Java. Meanwhile, the Hanoi legion corps was in charge of the beast cave defense of Hanoi Province and Hetao Province. As a result, they basically could not participate in the battle.

The Guards Legion Corps set up defenses along the shore, showing off the mobility advantage of the cavalry. At the same time, they got ready to fight the disembarking Gupta Dynasty army.

The Dragon Legion Corps was arranged at the Hetao Province border to face the Peacock Dynasty army. As for the adventure gamemode players that appeared in Hetao Province, the final tally numbered them at 50 thousand.

Basically, the Great Xia Army was fighting one against two, which made one worried.

The City Protection Legion Corps prepared a legion as a reserve force to reinforce the frontlines at any moment. Apart from that, the Leopard, Tiger, and Eagle Legion Corps were not going to be moved.

In the previous battles, they had already used up the resources of Piao Country, which was the current Hetao Province. The Hanoi Province war resources were on a tightrope, and they could not support the resource usage of a million troops.

Ouyang Shuo was determined for this to not be a huge war.

Since the 6th system update, the army was no longer made up of iron. It was not that they just needed to replenish the war loses and the army would be alive and well again… the soldiers needed a resting period.

He mobilized the Dragon and Guards Legion Corps because he was forced to.

Under such a situation, Great Xia could only defend. However, to defend well was not a simple matter. Let’s talk about Hetao Province first. In the previous war, the border defense was pretty much destroyed, and in a short time, it was not enough to build up a new defensive line.

As a result, Baiqi could only rely on the five border cities to form a city defense chain. If Peacock Dynasty was not greedy, the neighboring villages would definitely fall.

It was not easy for the Guards Legion Corps either.

Huo Qubing arranged infantries at the cities around the coast that had ports. As for the remaining cavalry, they were split up to move flexibly. Once the Gupta Dynasty troops disembarked, they would make further plans.

At the same time, to reduce the defensive pressure on the Guards Legion Corps, the 2nd and 5th divisions of the Indian Ocean Squadron increased their patrol in the neighboring ocean region.

Although they could not go head to head against the navy of the Gupta Dynasty, they could reduce the area where they could disembark.

If not, the Guards Legion Corps would be too busy defending such a huge coastline.

The 1st division of the Indian Ocean Squadron housed in Lion City as well as the 4th division in Auckland prefecture were in charge of locking down Java.

The Indian Ocean Squadron could be said to be spinning around busily.

…

6th month, 2nd day, Pangbin City.

Pangbin was a little city on the west side of Hetao Province and was 100 miles away from the border. As Pangbin City was located near the center of the border line, Baiqi chose this place as the command center.

350 thousand Dragon Legion Corp troops used these five border cities as their core, echoing one another.

Just yesterday, the scouts of the two sides had engaged hundreds of times at the border to scout for more intel. Some bold adventure gamemode players were really excited and jumped right into the battle at the border.

The killing began right when the country war started.

As a result of the 6th system update, the buffs that the country honor points brought as well as the country weapon buff were all removed.

This was totally unfair to China.

Toward this matter, Gaia gave a compensation proposal, which was that apart from the 5% of the imperial city guards he could summon, he could summon an extra 100 thousand guards.

After the system update, the imperial city guards were reduced by half. Along with the destruction of Dali, the 5% ratio could only allow him to summon 220 thousand guards.

As India only had one imperial city, the guards had not suffered any losses. As the country war leader, Peacock Dynasty King Durava could summon 250 thousand guards.

Of course, with the extra 100 thousand, the situation becomes rather different. Moreover, the China region NPC dynasties had a longer history, and the quantity of guards were higher than that of India.

Great Qin’s tiger and wolf troops, Great Han’s iron cavalry, and the like; all of these were famous first-rate armies.

Ouyang Shuo was prepared to open up on Great Han.

Hanwu Emperor was sitting in the middle plains of China. When his envoy came over last year, they did not even bother to mention the cauldron, which annoyed Ouyang Shuo. If he had a chance, he would naturally want to teach Great Han a lesson.

Since Ouyang Shuo started the Nine Cauldrons quest, he had only received the cauldrons from Dali, Quanzhou, Xiangyang, and Jianye. There was no movement from the five other imperial cities.

Him teaching Great Han a lesson this time was to set an example to make it easier to complete the Nine Cauldrons quest. He wanted to clear out obstacles for Great Xia to become the first emperor dynasty in the world.

As for Shu Han and Great Sui, other methods could be used to weaken them. Ouyang Shuo had removed 100 thousand of the 500 troops from Shu Han imperial city, and there were only 400 thousand left.

With the strength of the northwest warzone, even if they went head on, they would be able to wipe out the Shu Han imperial city. There was no need to waste this precious summoning opportunity.

As for Great Sui, it did not have any ambitions.

Think about it, if Great Han moved 320 thousand guards at once and was left with only 180 thousand, how would Great Han compete with Great Xia?

Before the country war began, the Grand Council had started to plan the military operation to attack Great Han. After the end of the country war, Great Xia would officially declare war on Great Han.

The group in charge of this battle was the southeast war zone that had been formed not long ago.

The only difficulty would be that Great Han was not connected to Great Xia. Instead, it was totally connected to Great Zhou. How to swiftly take down Great Han while not letting Great Zhou kill steal would be a true test to the southeast warzone.

Getting back to the topic.

Pangbin City, City Lord’s Manor.

Baiqi was holding a military meeting to give the final instructions for the battle. However, the different part was that he did not gather all of them there to discuss. Instead, he used the communication compass.

Five cities, each legion in charge of one.

If they made the Legion Generals run all the way to Pangbin city for the meeting, not only would it not be safe, but it would also be really inefficient. With the communication compass, things became much easier.

This new tool that Gaia released was uncomfortable for Baiqi and the other historical generals at first. It was like all their plans and strategies would instantly be exposed.

Many proven effective strategies were useless now. If one did not make changes, things might mess up on the battlefield, and the enemy would have a chance to take advantage.

For this, the Great Xia Army had made a fool of themselves several times on the battlefield.

For example, in the Battle of Piao that had ended not long ago, the Hanoi legion corps was in charge of entering the north of Piao and sweeping the surroundings of the imperial city to cut off the logistical supply of the imperial city. The 1st legion led by Pei Xingyan acted as the vanguard force.

His carelessness in forgetting the existence of the communication compass resulted in him still wanting to use the common Great Xia cavalry sneak attack tactic. Who knew that their tracks were already located by Piao country players long Ago?

The outcome was as expected.

An originally hopeful sneak attack suddenly became an enemy ambush. If it were not for the stubbornness of the Hanoi legion corps and the main force catching up in time, they would have suffered a heavy loss.

Even so, they lost 10 thousand elites.

That battle was used as a piece of counter teaching material to teach the generals of the influence of the communication compasses on battle, keeping them on their toes.

The so-called sneak attack was difficult to enact if players were spread out around the country, and this was especially so when one was not fighting on home ground. At such a time, the battlefield was filled with enemy eyes, and the military tracks could not be hidden.

Of course, Gaia had pushed out communication compasses to make things easier. After the historical generals became familiar with it and knew how convenient and effective it was, it was pretty much better than thousands of troops.

If used well, there were more pros than cons.

Like the current meeting where Zhao Ponu, Lai Hu’er, Zhang Liao, Luo Shixin, and Xiao Chaogui etc. five generals were used to it.

Although the five legions were split into five cities, they could keep in contact with the headquarters at all times to receive orders at pretty much the same time. Moreover, they could report their own situations.

This was the dream for commanders.

As a God General, Baiqi was naturally the first to understand the greatness of the compass and quickly learned how to use it to the best of its ability. Now, he could not only command the Hetao battlefield, but he could also command the Hanoi, Nanjiang, and Heluo legion corps without leaving Pangbin City, handling all matters of the southwest warzone.

If this was in the past, such a matter would be totally impossible.

“The country war month lasts for only a month. As the one attacking, the enemy will not be patient. As long as we are calm, we will be able to find a chance to launch a counterattack.”

Baiqi concluded with a reminder, “Before the king reaches the frontline, all of you must defend your cities. No matter how the enemy provokes us, you cannot exit the city to battle. It would affect the big picture, do you understand?”

“Yes general!”

Through the screen, the five Legion General all did a military bow.
