1133 Final Battle Mindanao (1/2)
Chapter 1133 – Final Battle Mindanao
Facing the combined attacks of the Guards Legion Corps on two fronts, the fate of the Canberra army was imaginable.
And just as the battle on the Australian battlefield began, the Luzon battlefield thousands of miles away also broke the silence and experienced new developments.
The one that broke the balance was the Java reinforcements.
As the only Lord in Java, Uwais was naturally not weak. After deciding to give up on Australia, he turned his eyes to Luzon.
Their three as one body was already lacking one corner, and they could not afford to lose Luzon.
Based on Luzon Lord Mading's suggestion, they were prepared to strike out while the Guards Legion Corps were trapped in Australia.
Their target would be the Hanoi legion corps that was at the south side of Mindanao.
The Hanoi Legion corps had only sent out three legions to this battle, and their overall numbers did not exceed 210 thousand. Within the Luzon territory main city Lloilo, they had 100 thousand territory troops and 100 thousand Java reinforcements.
Before the battle, Lloilo had 400 thousand territory troops. After losing 100 thousand during the Battle of Laoag, the remaining 300 thousand were split up on the three main islands.
Luzon island had 100 thousand to fight along with the imperial city guards and combat occupation players. They needed to prevent the Dragon Legion Corps from going down south. Mindanao had 10 thousand to prevent Great Xia's Hanoi legion corps from invading.
Mading wanted to take the chance that the Dragon Legion Corps and Guards Legion Corps were being blocked to gather up strength and surround Great Xia's Hanoi legion corps.
If they could destroy these three legions in one swoop, it would undoubtedly help raise all their morale.
Uwais was convinced by Mading and decided to send 150 thousand more troops to form a 400 thousand strong Alliance Army to go down south of Mindanao to take down the Hanoi legion corps.
This time, the Hanoi Legion corps' situation became really precarious.
As a border defense army, their equipment was comparable to Java and Luzon. However, in terms of strength, they were not as strong as the Guards Legion Corps such that they could achieve a crushing victory.
Two against one; in such a situation, the Hanoi legion corps definitely would not be able to win.
...
11th month, 11th day, Mindanao Ilagan City.
As the only territory in Luzon, Lloilo not only had a teleportation formation at the main city but also one in Ilagan city in Mindanao.
Usually, it defended against what was their ally now - Java.
At night, 100 thousand Lloilo troops along with 250 thousand Java reinforcements teleported over here and gathered with the 100 thousand troops that were camped in the city.
During the Australia country war period, with the help of the Yashan Squadron, the Hanoi legion corps successfully disembarked on the South Bay of Mindanao, taking down Davao.
Hanoi legion corps marshal Xue Rengui realized this point - if he wanted to take down Mindanao, he needed to first break down Lligan and cut off the reinforcements from Lloilo.
Hence, after taking down Davao, the Hanoi legion corps did not sweep around and went up north, heading toward Ilagan city. Before the Luzon reinforcements arrived, Hanoi had already surrounded the city.
Night, Hanoi region corps commander tent.
The lamp in the tent flickered as Xue Rengui, who was in martial attire, sat in front of his desk. Looking at the order from the commander, he was deep in thought.
The Black Snake Guards had done a really good infiltration of Luzon.
When the Java reinforcements arrived in Lloilo and disappeared from the city along with the Luzon territory army, the news was caught by the Black Snake Guards spies and reported to the commander right away.
The enemy's obvious battle motives naturally could not avoid the eyes of Baiqi and Jia Xu.
”Advisor how should he adapt to this change? Should we ask the Hanoi legion corps to retreat?” Baiqi sought Jia Xu's opinion.
