1048 Going Head on Against Danger (2/2)

Being influence by the three country wars, the number of troops Great Xia would send to Japan was greatly reduced. On the navy side, without the Binhai Squadron, they luckily still had the Emperor Squadron, Yashan Squadron, and Pacific Squadron.

On the army side, the Eagle Legion Corps, Tiger Legion Corps, and City Protection Legion Corps needed to defend, and only the Han Xin led Leopard Legion Corps could be sent out to battle.

Eagle Legion Corps defending the west, Tiger Legion Corps defending the east, and City Protection Legion Corps defending the main camp.

Although Gaia had set rules that all internal battles were prohibited during the month, it was just that month. If the expedition troops were not able to return, they were going to face huge problems.

Hence, even when he was fighting on three sides, Ouyang Shuo needed to leave troops to defend. At most, he could send one of the legions from each of the legion corps.

As for the Morocco, Somalia, and Auckland Formations, there were only hundred thousand of them. Even if he used them, they would not amount to much.

What was worth mentioning was that because Auckland belonged to Great Xia, it was not a standalone warzone, so it avoided a catastrophe.

One had to say that Auckland Provincial Governor Jason's decision was really smart. There was news that spread out that in ASEAN, Java had targeted Timor-Leste and Johor had targeted Brunei.

If it were not due to the restriction, Luzon would have probably declared war on China. However, New Zealand could not become a country war target, which meant that Luzon had no part to play in this country war month.

Apart from that, on the Asia continent, India targeted Zhuyu in the north and Sri Lanka. It seemed like they wanted to wipe out their inland threat first before targeting Sri Lanka.

...

Without a doubt, this would be the toughest battle that Great Xia had faced yet.

For this country war, Great Xia had pretty much used up all their navy and army troops, a total of three million troops or so. Many players meant that over ten million people were activated.

The players attacking Japan were naturally the Blood Evil Mercenary guild, Fallen Leaf Alliance, and Snow-War Rose Mercenary Guild.

Apart from that, Thread would provide logistical support.

Out of the three groups, the Japanese army forces were the weakest. Luckily, Great Xia was not fighting alone. The Fallen Phoenix City Blazing Legion Corps would follow and attack the north region of Japan.

All of a sudden, the Japan group seemed like the most stacked group, as they had a total of 910 thousand men.

During the meeting, Feng Qiuhuang had made it clear that the Blazing Legion Corps would follow Great Xia's leadership. Hence, Ouyang Shuo needed to decide a commander for this group.

Without a doubt, Ouyang Shuo selected Han Xin.

Baiqi, Li Jing, and Han Xin; they were the three most all rounded God Generals in the Great Xia Army and were the ones that Ouyang Shuo trusted the most. In every big battle, one of them would definitely take the center stage.

Hence, Ouyang Shuo decided to let Sun Bin lead the Tiger Legion Corps to defend and not the Bear Legion Corps.

After setting up the country war strategy, Ouyang Shuo did not do much else.

The specific strategies, grain and warship deployment, and the like were naturally done by the Grand Council, Privy Court, and the three commanders.

Everyone had their specializations. Ouyang Shuo was not good at leading a million troops.

Furthermore, he had other more important things to do.

That afternoon, Ouyang Shuo posted a forum post, ”I've received the notification that Korea, Nanzhang, and Zhenla have declared war on us.”

The moment the news spread out, China was in uproar.

After they recovered from their shock, rage followed.

Just as Ouyang Shuo had thought, as the strongest region in the world, the Chinese players all felt that China could only attack others and not the other way around.

Who knew that Zhenla, Nanzhang, and Korea would actually court death.

All of a sudden, everyone was pumped up and sought to fight. On this aspect, the Chinese players were really bold and filled with killing intent. Even in a 1v4 scenario, they still showed no fear.

Apart from 100 million players supporting them, they still had Great Xia.

Ouyang Shuo naturally could not say much on the forums. The Outreach Division led by Zi Luolan swiftly acted and rained down on the forums.

On one side, she announced the resolution of Great Xia to fend off the enemy whilst revealing their arrangements of troops to calm the people down.

Following which, the Outreach Division changed their words to lead the Chinese people to fight along with Great Xia.

With the front promise as a reliance, the goodwill of the players toward Great Xia broke through the roofs. They wanted to all jump into the country war and follow Great Xia to conquer the world.

Of course, this was only the situation on the forums and not the true situation.

In a life or death situation, every adventure gamemode player would be really careful when making their choices.

This was undeniable.

Ouyang Shuo did not place his hopes on all these scattered players. The main forces were still from the super guilds.

Ouyang Shuo started to meet the guild leaders of the eight guilds he had stocks in to explain the Great Xia plan and his hope for their cooperation.

How to convince them would test Ouyang Shuo's intellect.
