Chapter 1280 – I Will Support You in Spirit

Gaia 8th year, 1st month, 6th day, Nanjiang.

After they received the military order from the Imperial Court, the Nanjiang warzone swiftly got into action.

Under the orders of warzone commander Wuqi, the Dragon legion corps and Hanoi legion corps used the inland route to arrive in Putrajaya. After which, they crossed the Straits of Malacca to strike Sumatra island, which was the base of Java Lord Uwais.

Sumatra had 500 thousand territory troops; it was the final hand of Uwais.

Earlier in the 12th month, the Nanyang warzone had competed the disarmament, each legion corps going from 350 thousand to 250 thousand. Hence, in terms of their numbers, both sides were on the same starting line.

Not to mention that the Dragon legion corps and the Hanoi legion corps had left some forces behind to defend the beast caves.

The actual number of troops sent was around 380 thousand. If one excluded the support types, the actual combat members only numbered at around 350 thousand.

Even then, if there was no outside interference, there was no way that Uwais could win this war.

After all, the Great Xia Army that had gone through disarmament could not be compared to before. The soldiers left were all elites, and the entire structure was more logical. As such, their combat strength did not decrease and had increased instead.

Going against the Badong territory army, it would not be a problem for them to go one against three.

In the War of Mongolia that had just ended, wasn't the strong Mongol iron cavalry crushed by the Great Xia Army? From start to finish, they were suppressed without any way to fight back.

Furthermore, although the Great Xia Army was fighting on enemy turf, the Malacca straits was so small and was the best resource logistics pathway.

The home ground advantage of Badong City was not apparent.

In the past year, Great Xia had focused on the war of unification and the East Africa battlefield, so the entire Nanjiang had not experienced war for a year. In other words, Nanjiang had been resting up for a year.

In the game world where chaos and war was common, this was some really precious breathing room.

Under the planning of the Nanjiang Governor-General House, after a year of intense farming, Nanjiang had amassed a lot of grain, which could easily support such a huge war.

In this one year period, it was not like the Nanyang warzone had done nothing.

Above, from warzone commander Wuqi to the four marshals, they were all sure that after they unified China, the Empire would free up a hand to take care of Java.

Hence, one could say that the war preparations for the war of Java had lasted for a year.

When one piled up all the intel memorials about Java's two islands, one could probably reach a stack that was five to six meters high. The Nanyang warzone had already investigated the geography of the islands as well as other crucial information.

As a result, this battle was not an even one at all.

Facing such a situation, how could Badong City and Java win?

...

Sumatra was one battlefield. The other was Java island, where the imperial city was located.

In the 6th year of Gaia, Badong City had lost both Kalimantan and Ilian island, so the Java royal family took the chance to occupy the entire Java island, forming a standstill with Badong City.

This standstill lasted for a year.

As their strengths were around the same, and Great Xia was right around the corner, neither side attacked the other. If they did, they would only allow Great Xia to benefit.

General Fan Lihua led the Nanjing legion corps to cross the Timor Sea. Meanwhile, Yang Su led the Heluo legion corps to cross the Java sea to pincer Java island from north and south.

Compared to the Dragon legion corps and the Hanoi legion corps, the defense region of the Nanjiang and Heluo legion corps was really wide. As a result, they could only send out around 350 thousand troops.

Excluding support soldier types, their combat force would number around 310 to 320 thousand.

Luckily, their opponent was the Java imperial city guards. Although Java had a million guards, they had never been to war, and their equipment basically stopped at the cold weapons era.

Facing such an army, the Great Xia Army could go one against 10.

Furthermore, compared to Sumatra, Java island was very narrow. Especially after the map was reset, there was very little space for the imperial city guards to act.

Wuqi ordered the Nanjiang and Heluo legion corps to end the war within half a month. He was looking forward to them going up north to attack Sumatra island after they conquered Java island.
