1139 Rebuilding the Nanjiang Governor-General House (1/2)
Chapter 1139 – Rebuilding the Nanjiang Governor-General House
Baiqi did not give Manila a chance.
After the expedition army completely surrounded the city, they did not rush to attack. Instead, they cut off the water supply and used the Black Snake Guard spies to spread wave after wave of fear in the city.
On the 5th day of surrounding the city, the Luzon combat occupation players were totally desperate as they charged out of the city, trying to exchange a life for a life.
Even such a wish was crushed by Baiqi.
The expedition army used moats and camps as barriers, using cannons, firearms, and archers to form a closely packed long ranged attacking net. Before the Luzon players even reached the front of the formation, most of them had fallen to the ground.
When the scattered few players broke through the heavy defenses and faced the sternly waiting expedition army, they could only be crushed.
The last fire that the combat occupation players burned was really tragic, but it was not bright.
Along with the destruction of the combat occupation players, surrender became the only choice for the Luzon guards. After a few more days of struggle, without any grain, on the 12th month, 20th day, the remaining imperial city guards finally came out of the city to surrender.
The Battle of Luzon truly came to an end.
Along with the expedition army entering Manila, the country war was officially ended. The 400 thousand Mindanao Alliance Army gave up on struggling and surrendered to the Hanoi legion corps.
The Battle of Luzon ended in a total victory for Great Xia.
During this battle, Great Xia mobilized over a million troops, spending 40 odd days. While they took down their target Luzon, they also occupied Australia and caused huge damage to Java.
The so-called three of them as one body was quickly destroyed and became a thing of the past.
Although the war had ended, the ripples had not fully faded.
Maybe to Great Xia, the Battle of Luzon was just a planned expansion that did not have any other meaning. But to the global players, this act was a firm and powerful reply to TWP.
At least in the Southeast Asia region, Great Xia had the absolute advantage.
If one looked at the entirety of Asia, apart from Great Zhou, Great Xia needed to face Peacock Dynasty in the southwest, Persia Empire in the west, and Romanov Dynasty in the north; it a three versus one pincer.
Along with the surviving Java, Silver Hand still had cards to play in the Asian region.
Moreover, it was a good hand of cards.
The battle between the two sides had just began, and it was too early to determine who was going to win or lose.
...
12th month, 22nd day, Shanhai City.
The battle ended, and the military was busy dealing with the casualties, organizing the war prisoners, and other post war matters. Ouyang Shuo did not interfere, as he had more important things to do.
Quickly completing the regional planning of the occupied region was the most crucial step to restoring order post war.
As per its usual practices, Great Xia established the Luzon Province and the Australia Province. The moment the Australia Province was established, it broke the record of Liaojin Province and became the biggest province under Great Xia.
In terms of pure size, it made Great Xia double.
Next would be the personnel adjustments. This matter was discussed before the war, which was why it was quickly settled. That afternoon, the Imperial Court released a series of personnel appointments.
Gu Xiuwen was promoted from Xingzhou Governor to Luzon Provincial Governor.
