Chapter 1176 The Intent of the National War

On June 1st, the 700,000 troops of the Maurya Dynasty gathered at the border of Daxia Hetao Province, and they were menacing. They were accompanied by more than 100,000 professional combat players.

At the same time, the Gupta Dynasty will take the sea route. Under the escort of the fleet, it is expected to land on the southern coast of Hetao Province or the southwest coast of Hanoi Province.

The calculation of the Gupta Dynasty was that if the Daxiaheluo army could be restrained, it would create opportunities for the Java State to attack, and in this way, it could also share the pressure of the Maurya Dynasty on the frontal battlefield.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Daxia's response seemed a bit "shabby".

The Southern Border Army and Heluo Army guarded the islands to guard against Java; the Hanoi Army was in charge of guarding the monster lairs in Hanoi Province and Hetao Province, and basically could not participate in the war.

The imperial guards deployed defenses along the coast, giving full play to the maneuverability of the cavalry, and were ready to meet the Gupta army at any time for landing operations.

The Longxiang Army was deployed on the border of Hetao Province to meet the army of the Maurya Dynasty. According to the final statistics, there were less than 50,000 adventurers in Hetao Province.

Basically, the Great Xia Army is in a one-on-two situation, which is very worrying.

The city guards have prepared a legion as a reserve, ready to reinforce the frontline battlefield at any time. In addition, the Baotao Army, Huben Army, and Yingyang Army are not prepared to be transferred.

The previous war had exhausted the supplies of the Pyu country, which is now the province of Hetao, and the war supplies stored in the province of Hanoi were also stretched to the limit, unable to support the consumption of a million troops.

Ouyang Shuo was determined and did not plan to make a big fight.

Since the sixth round of updates, the army is no longer solid, not to mention the soldiers who make up for the damage in the battle, and they will be alive immediately, and the soldiers also need a rest interval.

It is a helpless choice to dispatch the Longxiang Army and the Guards.

In this case, the Great Xia Army is doomed to use defense instead of offense. It's just not an easy thing to keep up. Let’s talk about the Hetao Province first. In the previous battle, the border fortifications were almost completely destroyed. In a short period of time, it was not enough to establish a new line of defense.

In this way, Bai Qi can only rely on the five border cities to form a city defense chain. If the Maurya Dynasty is not greedy, the surrounding villages will surely suffer.

The Praetorian Guard is also not easy to defend.

Huo Qubing deployed infantry in several cities with ports along the coast, while the rest of the cavalry spread out, ready to wait for the opportunity, and make arrangements after the Gupta army landed.

At the same time, in order to reduce the defensive pressure of the Praetorian Guards, the second and fifth formations of the Indian Ocean Fleet stepped up inspections of the surrounding waters.

Although it is impossible to face the naval fleet of the Gupta Dynasty, it can also greatly reduce the landing range of the Gupta Dynasty and reduce the defensive pressure of the Imperial Guards.

Otherwise, the Imperial Guards would be too busy on Nuoda's coastline.

The first formation of the Indian Ocean Fleet stationed at the Lion City headquarters and the fourth formation stationed in Auckland County are responsible for blocking the waters around Java.

The Indian Ocean Fleet is also busy.

Pompey, June 2.

Pangbin is a small frontier city in the west of Hetao Province. One hundred kilometers west of the city is the border. Because Pangbin City is located in the middle of the border, it was selected by Bai Qi as the temporary headquarters.

Thirty-five dragon troops, with five such small border towns as their hubs, echoed each other from afar.

Just yesterday, the scouts of the two warring parties had fought at the border more than a hundred times, scouting each other for the enemy's situation. Some daring adventurers were unwilling to be lonely and were active in the border jungle.

The fighting has already begun from the moment the national war started.

One of the effects of the sixth round of system update on the national war is that the gain BUFF brought by the national honor points and the national equipment enhancement BUFF are all cancelled.

This is obviously very unfair to Huaxia District.

For this reason, Gaia gave a compensation plan, that is, during the national war, Ouyang Shuo would not only be able to routinely summon 5% of the imperial city's forbidden army, but also be able to summon an additional 100,000 forbidden troops to assist in the battle.

After the system was updated, the Forbidden Army of the Royal City was reduced by half. In addition to the destruction of Dali, at a rate of 5%, only 220,000 Forbidden Army of the Royal City could be summoned.

Because there is only one royal city in Tianzhu District, the forbidden army has not been damaged. As the leader of the national war in Tianzhu District, the Peacock King can summon 250,000 forbidden troops to help in the battle.

Of course, with the addition of an additional quota of 100,000 people this time, the situation becomes different. In addition, the NPC dynasty in Huaxia District has a long history, and the quality of the forbidden army is also higher than that in Tianzhu District.

The division of the Great Qin Tiger Wolf, the Great Han Iron Cavalry, which one is not a world-class army that is famous.

This time, Ouyang Shuo was going to attack the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han insisted on occupying the Central Plains, and when he sent his envoy to the court last year, he didn't even mention the offering of the Kyushu Ding, which made Ouyang Shuo very angry. If he had the opportunity, he would naturally teach the big man a lesson.

Since Ouyang Shuo started the mission of the Kyushu tripod, up to now, he has only received the Kyushu tripod from the four royal cities of Dali, Quanzhou, Xiangyang and Jianye, and there has been no movement at all from the other five royal cities.

This lesson to the Great Han Dynasty is also to kill chickens and monkeys, so as to complete the mission of Kyushu Ding as soon as possible, and remove the last obstacle for Daxia to be promoted to the world's first dynasty.

As for the Shu Han King City and the Great Sui Dynasty, which are located in the Imperial Guard of the Great Xia, we can think of other ways to weaken them. The 500,000 forbidden troops in the Shu Han Royal City had already been cut by Ouyang Shuo last time, leaving only 400,000 soldiers.

With the strength of the Northwest Theater, even if it is just head-on, it can still solve the Shuhan King City, so there is no need to waste this precious summoning opportunity.

As for the Great Sui Dynasty, it basically has no ambitions.

Just imagine, if Ouyang Shuo transferred 320,000 forbidden troops to the Great Han Dynasty at one time, there would be only 180,000 forbidden troops left. What would they use to fight Da Xia? !

Before the start of the national war, the Military Aircraft Department had already secretly formulated a military plan to attack the Han Dynasty. As soon as the national war is over, Daxia will officially declare war on the Han Dynasty.

It is the newly established Southeast Theater that is fully responsible for this battle.

The only difficulty is that the Han Dynasty did not border on the Great Xia at all, but bordered on the Great Zhou Dynasty. How to quickly take down the big man without letting Da Zhou pick peaches is the real test for the southeast theater.

Closer to home.

Pombin City, the city lord's mansion.

Bai Qi is holding a military meeting to make the final order for this battle. What is more contrary is that Bai Qi did not call the commanders of the legions to Pombin City to discuss matters, but held a video conference through the communication compass.

There are five border towns, and each of the five legions is responsible for guarding one.

It would not only be unsafe, but also extremely inefficient if the head of the legion went to Pombin City for a meeting. With the Communication Compass, things just got easier.

The communication tool launched by Gaia really made Bai Qi and other historical generals very uncomfortable at the beginning. It seemed that their marching deployment suddenly became no secret at all.

Many tactics that have been proven to be effective before become useless at once. If no changes are made, accidents may occur on the battlefield in minutes, and the enemy may find a fighter.

For this reason, the Great Xia Army made a lot of jokes.

For example, in the Battle of Pyu Kingdom that just ended, the Hanoi army was responsible for advancing into the northern region of Pyu Kingdom, sweeping the periphery of the Royal City, and cutting off the supply of the Royal City. Under the leadership of Pei Xingjian, the First Army of the Hanoi Army served as the vanguard of the army.

As a result, Pei Xingjian was negligent, forgot the existence of the communication compass, and wanted to adopt the surprise attack tactics commonly used by the Great Xia cavalry. How could they know that their whereabouts had been discovered by the Pyu players.

The consequences can be imagined.

What was originally a "surprise attack" that was full of expectations suddenly turned into a farce of being ambushed by the enemy. If it weren't for the tenacity of the Hanoi army and the follow-up main force came to reinforce in time, I am afraid that it will suffer a big loss.

Even so, more than 10,000 elites were lost.

This battle was used as a negative teaching material, publicized and studied in the whole army, so that the generals of the Great Xia deeply understood the profound impact of the communication compass on the war, and they were always taken as a warning.

The so-called surprise attack is difficult to be effective in the national war battlefield where players are all over the place. Especially in the case of non-local operations, the battlefield is full of the eyes of the enemy, and there is nowhere to hide for large-scale military operations.

Of course, the ultimate goal of Gaia's launch of the communication compass is to benefit. After the generals in history are familiar with this thing, they will know the magical effect of this thing, which is simply better than thousands of troops.

If you make good use of it, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Just like the video conference held now, the five generals Zhao Ponu, Lai Huer, Zhang Liao, Luo Shixin, and Xiao Chaogui who appeared on the screen have long been accustomed to this.

Although the five legions were scattered in five cities, they were able to keep in touch with the headquarters at all times, receiving orders from the headquarters almost simultaneously and reporting their respective situations.

For the commander, this is simply a dream existence.

As a god general, Bai Qi was naturally the first to comprehend the essence of the communication compass and make good use of it. Now he can not only command the Hetao battlefield, but also remotely control the Hanoi Army, the Southern Border Army and the Heluo Army. Command the entire southwestern theater of war.

This was simply unimaginable before.

"The national war lasts only one month. As the active attacker, the enemy must not have much patience. As long as we can hold our breath, we will definitely find opportunities to launch a counterattack."

After Bai Qi finished speaking, he finally ordered: "But before the king arrives at the front line, all the ministries must defend the city. No matter how provocative the enemy is, they must not go out of the city to fight without authorization, so as not to affect the overall situation. Understand?"

"promise!"

Across the screen, the five legion commanders gave a military salute in unison.
