Chapter 1134 – What Is Special Forces Fighting Style
The 400 thousand strong Luzon army marched aggressively toward the Hanoi legion corps camp. They left dust stirring in their wake, opening up the curtain for the final battle in Mindanao.
To a certain extent, the outcome of this battle would decide the outcome of the entire war.
At 10 AM, the Luzon Alliance Army vanguard troops arrived at the front of the Hanoi legion corps camp. Looking out, the entire camp of the Hanoi legion corps followed the shape of the hill as it rose and dip, stretching numerous miles if looked down from above.
When the Alliance Army general saw that, his eyes froze. The enemy camp was a typical easy to defend hard to attack land. To break this defensive line was much harder than surrounding and attacking a camp.
However, since they were already there, there was naturally no reason to not fight. Furthermore, they had the numerical advantage, so they had even less reason to hesitate. After reorganizing and consolidating the formation that was getting a little chaotic, the Alliance Army charged toward the high ground.
”Kill!”
All of a sudden, killing shouts filled the air.
The two armies used the temporarily set up camp as a medium to engage in an intense battle. As a part of the Great Xia Army, the Hanoi Legion corps naturally did not lack courage and killing intent. Even when facing enemies twice their number, they showed no fear.
The Luzon Alliance Army similarly had a booming morale.
The heaven shaking killing started from 10 AM and last till night before it came to an end.
As the battle came to an end, the jade green hill was stepped on by the troops and was now empty mud. Tens of thousands of corpses were strewn across the hills. Blood flowed into rivers and a pond of fresh blood gathered up at the foot of the mountain.
”The Great Xia Army is as tough as the legends have it.”
Although the Alliance Army general praised the enemy, there was no loss of confidence in his words. Evidently, the performance of the Alliance Army today during the battle had satisfied him.
At the start, the Hanoi legion corps used the geography of the hill to defend the defensive line, putting the Alliance Army in a really detrimental situation. As a result, the Alliance Army suffered heavy casualties. However, when the Alliance Army started to gain their footing, their numerical advantage started to kick in.
In the afternoon, both sides were at a tie.
It was to the point where one could say that the Alliance Army was at an advantage when it was close to nighttime. They were lacking just a little more before they could totally tear apart the enemy defense line and occupy the peak of the hill.
”Tomorrow, we will definitely take it down.” The Alliance Army general was really confident.
Unfortunately, the Hanoi legion corps did not give him such a chance.
After both sides stopped fighting, the Alliance Army retreated five miles and set up camp to rest for the night. The Hanoi legion corps sneakily packed their bags, and during the next morning, before the sky was even bright, they left their camp.
At 8 AM, when the alliance aggressively charged up the hill, the camp was already empty.
”Damn it!”
The Alliance Army general was annoyed and immediately ordered the troops to chase.
Just like that, one chased and one fled, moving and stopping. A massacre occurred along the way and continued down south. Under the leadership of Xue Rengui, the Hanoi legion corps successfully completed the mission handed to them by the commander headquarters and led the Alliance Army out from Ilagan.
To achieve that, the Hanoi legion corps had paid a heavy price to let the Alliance Army believe that they were close to victory. Many times, the Hanoi legion corps fought back fiercely without caring about the sacrifices.
Just as the two armies were locked in a stalemate, a group of special troops were quietly moving.
...
11th month, 13th day, the Yashan Squadron's 1st division's navy unit carried three thousand Divine Martial Guards and disembarked not far from Ilagan City.
With the help of the Black Snake Guards spies, they proceeded toward the city.
At close to nighttime, the Divine Martial Guards that successfully infiltrated the forest near the city quietly waited for night to fall. Once the cover of night enveloped the land, the three thousand Divine Martial Guards were like ghosts as they moved towards the city north wall.
On the wall, there were only a few patrolling troops and sparsely placed torches.
