Chapter 1162 – Going Through Tibet
As much work had been done, Great Xia was pushing forth really smoothly on all four fronts in the first week of the battle, occupying cities along the way with a strong sense of confidence.
In just a week, Han Xin led his forces to take down the north of Kalimantan and was entering the south that belonged to Java. The Tiger Legion Corps led by Sun Bin had made it to the foot of Putrajaya in Johor.
Looking at the situation, Johor was going to be the first country to be wiped out.
The Dragon Legion Corps and the Hanoi legion corps had arrived at the outskirts of Piao Country imperial city Naypyidaw and were ready to launch their final assault. But after the new system update, one needed to occupy the entire country and not just take down the imperial city to win the country war one.
Even so, the imperial city was a symbol of the country and was the location where troops heavily defended.
The moment one took it down, a large half of the country war would be won.
The Nanjing legion corps was pushing smoothly on Irian island. Looking at the situation, Badong City did not have the courage to go head to head against the Great Xia Army.
They were planning to defend their main camp, Sulawesi Island.
Java Lord Uwais’s plan was simple. He was prepared to analyse the situation, and if the organization did not make any big actions to prevent Great Xia from acting, Badong City had no choice but to swallow this.
If Silver Hand had plans to counterattack, it would not be too late to send troops then.
Although he felt a little helpless, it was the best method that Uwais could think of. During the previous Battle of Luzon, Badong City had lost 350 thousand troops and the Badong Squadron. Till now, they still had not recovered from that defeat, and they did not have the courage to go all out against Great Xia.
As for assuring Johor, that was impossible. Badong City could not even protect themselves now, so what ability did they have to help others?
No matter what the end result was, in the future, Badong City would have to live with their tails between their legs.
The relatively difficult one out of the four would be the Ethiopian battlefield. First, the army was on an expedition, and although logistics was handled by the Indian Ocean Squadron, it still was not as smooth as the Southeast Asia battlefield.
More importantly, Ethiopia mainly consisted of high plains and a quarter was desert. It was a huge test to the Guards and City Protection Legion Corps to fight under such extreme conditions.
The entire battlefield was showing signs of entering on a standstill.
Luckily, the Guards Legion Corps was a top force and the City Protection Legion Corps was not weak either. Under the leadership of Huo Qubing, Shi Wanshui, Shi Dakai, and Di Qing, the overall frontlines was pushing forward.
Without any outside interference, taking down Ethiopia was just a matter of time.
Looking at the situation, if Silver Hand and Azure Badge did not do anything, Great Xia was about to silence the world.
However, things naturally did not go so smoothly.
The first to act was naturally the Peacock Dynasty.
3rd month, 30th day, the Peacock Dynasty sent out a legion corps to assist Piao Country to defend against the attacks of Great Xia. If things did not proceed smoothly, they were ready to send another one.
One had to say that they were really willing.
Similar to China, India had 100 million players. More similar was that the current India region was not only owned by the Peacock Dynasty.
Apart from the Peacock Dynasty, India had a new Gupta Dynasty that was showing signs of splitting India with the Peacock Dynasty. Between the two dynasties, there were three other territories.
The five player territories along with the imperial city formed the main situation in India.
Even so, the Peacock Dynasty’s overall strength was a level higher than Great Zhou’s. Based on the intel from the Black Snake Guards, they had five legion corps, a total of two million troops.
When such a giant acts, it was naturally exceptional.
Although Silver Hand did not force the Peacock Dynasty to help, Durava had enough reason to interfere in this war.
To the Peacock Dynasty, Piao Country was a buffer zone between it and Great Xia.
If Piao Country remained there, Peacock Dynasty would have nothing to worry about, not needing to worry about going head on against Great Xia. Without Piao Country there, the two dynasties would be connected. No one was willing to be neighbors with Great Xia.
The Peacock Dynasty king said arrogantly, “We must keep Piao Country!”
…
4th month, 1st day, Shanhai City.
Within the Xia Palace, Ouyang Shuo was together with Du Ruhui and was focusing on the frontline reports at every moment.
Du Ruhui smiled, “Peacock Dynasty acted in the end.”
“It was expected.” The two of them were not shocked. Ouyang Shuo placed down the report and said, “Send the order to Li Jing that he can start to move.”
“Yes, my king.” Du Ruhui nodded.
Ouyang Shuo was naturally wary against Peacock Dynasty. As the Great Xia Army was fighting on four fronts, they naturally had precautionary measures to lower the risk to a minimum.
“Ask Sun Bin to quicken the pace and get ready to assist in Piao Country.” Ouyang Shuo instructed.
Du Ruhui said, “Do not worry, my king. Based on the newest intel from the Tiger Legion Corps, they will take down Putrajaya latest tomorrow, and they will be able to rush for the Battle of Piao Country.”
When Ouyang Shuo heard that, he nodded in satisfaction. Sun Bin had not let him down.
Apart from the country war battle last year, the Tiger Legion and Leopard Legion had been camping at the border for a long time. Unlike the Guards and Dragon Legion Corps that had time to participate in expeditions, these soldiers were dying of thirst.
As a result, Han Xin and Sun Bin were naturally really pumped up this time.
The two legion corps were really vicious in their attacks, trying to complete the first stage of their battle quickly so that they could join the second battle.
In Han Xin’s words, “We cannot let the Dragon Legion Corps ride too far ahead.”
Based on the plan, after the Tiger Legion Corps took down Johor peninsula, it would go up north into Piao Country. If the Leopard and Luzon legion corps smoothly took down Kalimantan, they would attack Sulawesi.
Every part of the plan was interconnected.
Such arrangements were made to end the battle cleanly within a month.
Apart from that, Ouyang Shuo also had a trump card. This was the reserve forces for this war, but if things went smoothly, he would not use it.
Now, they needed to see who else apart from Peacock Dynasty would jump out to find trouble with Great Xia.
…
Shu Lands, Tibet Border.
Due to the existence of communication compasses, military orders were transmitted instantly. With the order given, the Bear Legion Corps immediately acted, crossing the border entering Tibet.
One must not misunderstand, as the Bear Legion Corps was not going to attack Tibet.
Although Tibet had sent an envoy to Great Xia and wanted to marry a Great Xia princess, which annoyed Ouyang Shuo, it was not the right time to attack Tibet now.
Ouyang Shuo was not so arrogant to attack five places at once. That was not confidence but craziness.
The Bear Legion Corps was prepared to go through Tibet to attack the north area of Peacock Dynasty to force back the reinforcements to Piao Country.
Maybe he realized that his previous request had angered the Xia King, as when he heard the request from the Honglu Temple, he agreed right away without any hesitation.
They were worried that Great Xia would take revenge. Seeing that there was a chance to mend their relationship, they would take it immediately.
It was still that sentence, things had to be done step by step.
To Great Xia, the two most important things now were to sweep Southeast Asia to dig a deeper strategic depth and build a stable base in Africa to plant a nail there.
As for having war with Peacock Dynasty, it was not something that could be considered now.
As a result, even if they knew that the Peacock Dynasty would assist Piao, Ouyang Shuo was not going to go head on against Peacock Dynasty because that would result in other uncertainties.
Now, it would depend on how determined the Peacock Dyansty was in protecting Piao, or rather, how great of price they were willing to pay to do so.
One must not forget that Peacock Dynasty had many challengers in India. The moment they entered a war against Great Xia, Peacock Dynasty would not feel good.
Of course, if the Peacock Dynasty was stubborn and wanted to go all in with Great Xia, Ouyang Shuo was willing to play till the end.
Whether they were stubborn or not, they would see on the battlefield.
