1058 Choosing a Side to Stand On (1/2)

Chapter 1058 – Choosing a Side to Stand On

6th month, 11th day, a naval battle exploded out on the Korea battlefield.

The two sides were the Binhai Squadron led by Qi Jiguang and the Korea Squadron led by Yi Sun-sin. The two sides engaged at the ocean region near to Seoul.

This was the most intense but brutal naval battle since the start of the game.

These two top squadrons went head to head for three days and three nights, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. The ocean was dyed red, but no one was willing to back off. The Great Xia Binhai Squadron wanted to enter Seoul to attack it along with the land troops.

The Korea squadron had no reason to retreat, as behind them was the last hope of Korea.

In the end, the Binhai Squadron relied on the magic powered submarine to destroy the turtle ship that the Korea squadron was proud of, obtaining a decisive victory. Along with the mimicry flying devices, they completed their encirclement of the Korea squadron.

In this battle, 40% of ships on both sides were sunk.

6th month, 13th day, Korea general Yi Sun-sin was captured. The remaining Korean troops surrendered to Great Xia, which meant that Seoul was totally exposed to the cannon fire of the Binhai Squadron.

At the same time, the Huo Qubing led Guards Legion Corps had already smoothly taken down the south portion of Korea.

Across the entirety of Korea, only Seoul remained.

The Battle of Korea would welcome its final battle on the 6th month, 14th day. Just the 500 thousand guards in Seoul would be enough to give Li Jing a headache.

Luckily, Li Jing was not in a hurry, as all he had was time.

...

Apart from the Korea battlefield, the Zhenla and Nanzhang battlefields were really exciting as well.

Baiqi did not attack both at the same time. Instead, he chose to take them down one by one. Before the war, Baiqi moved the Annan formation to the Zhenla border to defend.

At the same time, Yanhuo Yaonie's Indian Ocean Squadron would be around to react.

With both ocean and land, they formed a defensive line.

Hence, they stabilized the Zhenla situation and prevented it from entering Annan Province.

Baiqi led the Dragon Legion Corps to directly head for Zhenla in the north.

Zhenla was a small country with less than 600 thousand total players and only around 70 thousand combat occupation players. They had 60 thousand guards in Vientiane as well as 30 thousand territory troops under Suo Langgong. Their overall numbers were only 160 thousand, which was less than half of the Dragon Legion Corps.

Along with the following China region combat occupation players, the Baiqi led army was able to arrive at Vientiane in just a week.

Nanzhang was on the verge of being wiped out.

Zhenla and Nanzhang relied on one another, so logically speaking, seeing Nanzhang under attack, Zhenla should be helping.

After all, the Great Xia Annan formation only defended the east side and did not cut off the north tunnel between Nanzhang and Zhenla.

The truth, however, was that be it territory armies or the combat occupation players, Zhenla did not show signs of aiding Nanzhang. The entire Zhenla country was silent.

This was human nature.

It was not that the Zhenla players were heartless or that they did not understand the situation they were in.

In the end, this was the ostrich mentality.

If Zhenla went to help Nanzhang, it would cause their defenses to be reduced and maybe the Annan formation and Indian Ocean Squadron would take the chance to attack.
