Chapter 1066 Raid on Luzon Island
After obtaining the first-hand information on the assassination of Duan Zhengchun from [Blood Blade], what Ouyang Shuo now needs to consider is how to use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Duan Yu.
Duan Zhengchun's willingness to abdicate and give in to the wise does not mean that Duan Yu is willing to do so.
Of course, if Daxia did not support him, Duan Yu would not have ascended the throne. Now it depends on how to arrange a decent way, that is, to preserve the existence of the Duan family and ensure Daxia's control over Dali.
Ouyang Shuo handed the matter over to the cabinet to make a decision after he returned to the capital.
…………
June 28, Edo Castle.
Ouyang Shuo finally decided to set off and return to the capital. Strangely, Ouyang Shuo did not choose to teleport, but asked the Royal Fleet to accompany the Yashan Fleet and prepare to return to Shanhai City along the coast.
In addition to the two fleets, the Leopard Army and the First Corps of the Tiger Army led by Han Xin will also accompany him.
The First Corps of the City Guards is temporarily stationed in Yingzhou County. Before the Privy Council completes the reorganization of the Yingzhou Corps, the Corps will be responsible for the defense of Yingzhou County.
The Pacific Fleet naturally stayed.
At 9:00 a.m., the Haohao fleet set off from Edo Port and headed south all the way, riding the wind and waves.
By the time the fleet passed through the Yizhou Strait, it was already July 1st, and the first national war month officially came to an end. The relevant national war settings such as gain bonuses and attack restrictions were all cancelled.
A brief period of calm is ushered in a global period.
The winners are busy taking over new territory, while the losers have long since disappeared in the wilderness.
Therefore, no one would think that any territory would be full and full, and choose to provoke a new national war as soon as the national war month ended, which would be less than worth the loss.
The global territory has entered a semi-relax state, including the Luzon region. Ouyang Shuo saw this and suddenly launched a national war against Luzon when it was the most impossible.
…………
July 2, Lavag City.
Luzon is mainly composed of three major island groups: Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Luzon is in the north, Mindanao is in the south, and Visayas is sandwiched between the two.
Luzon Island to the north is the largest, most populous and most economical island in Luzon. It is rich in rice, coconuts, and Luzon cigars are even more famous all over the world.
The royal city of Manila is located at the southernmost end of Luzon, while the city of Lavague is located at the northernmost end of Luzon.
In ancient times, Luzon was a small country called Luzon. Since the Song and Yuan dynasties, Chinese merchant ships have often come here to trade, and there are special records of "East and West China Study" and "Ming History: Foreign Biographies".
The Luzon of the Ming Dynasty was known as the Great Luzon and the Little Luzon. From 1571 to 1898, Luzon was occupied by Spain. Therefore, the "Hailu" was translated as the Little Luzon, and the Great Luzon was called the entire Luzon State ruled by Spain.
As a harbor city, the city of Lavag gradually woke up in the early morning, especially at the pier, where fishing boats were covered in the moonlight, riding the wind and waves, and began to go out to sea to fish.
In the just-concluded national war month, Luzon was out of the matter, and the people of the territory naturally escaped. They did not experience the cruelty of the war, and the entire city seemed very peaceful and quiet.
The sea breeze blew across the streets and alleys, gradually waking up the sleeping people.
At this moment, warships appeared in front of the port, the blue sea dragon flag unique to the Daxia Navy, combined with white canvas sails, facing the rising sun, the sound of the sea breeze.
As the port approached, the fleet suddenly accelerated.
Before the people could react, the fleet pioneers had already rushed into the port.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sudden sound of artillery broke the tranquility of the city and woke up the dreamer.
"What happened?"
People got up in a hurry and didn't have time to wash up, so they walked on the streets anxiously and asked each other.
"It was the sound of shelling coming from the direction of the dock." Someone said.
"Is it the pirates here?"
The people were at a loss and they had never experienced war, and they seemed very panicked.
The Lord of Rawag was awake and received information about the bombardment of the dock. "Hurry, go and find out whether the pirates are coming or the enemy warships."
The city lord is quite calm.
But calmness could not save Lavag City. Before they could find a result, the Leopard Army had already landed successfully at the dock under Han Xin's command.
The vast army rushed into the city smoothly without encountering any resistance and quickly controlled the key points.
Afterwards, Ouyang Shuo led the Shenwu Guard to the city lord's mansion, while Han Xin did not stop and commanded the Baotao Army to scatter with Lavag City as the basis point, and began to attack the surrounding territories.
The First Corps of the Tiger Army stayed in Lavag City.
In the city lord's mansion, Ouyang Shuo took out the [Telection Talisman] he had just obtained and chose to use it. As a blue light flashed, a mysterious cross-border teleportation array appeared in the square in front of the city lord's mansion.
With this transnational teleportation array, Daxia established a bridgehead in Luzon, where a large army could be transmitted to attack Luzon at any time. This is much cheaper than launching a serious national war and then attacking from the sea.
With the opening of the teleportation array, Shenwuwei took Ouyang Shuo's edict to Shanhai City, and ordered the cabinet to urgently dispatch a group of officials to take over the city and establish order.
Fortunately, when he set out from Edo Castle, Ouyang Shuo had already informed the cabinet in advance, otherwise he would have been in a hurry. During the war month of the country, Daxia expanded its territory and dispatched a large number of officials to Goryeo, Nanzhang, Zhenla and Yingzhou counties. Now he has to support Luzon, which is indeed a bit difficult.
The Battle of Luzon was uncommonly smooth.
Before the fleet arrived at the port, it had actually had a fire with the first formation arranged in the north of the Luzon fleet in the surrounding waters. The Luzon fleet, which had no preparation, had almost no backhand power in front of the Daxia fleet.
Less than two hours before, the first formation of the Luzon fleet was defeated on its entire line.
It was at that moment that a system announcement came from the ears of Luzon players who were still sleeping.
"System announcement: How could the lord of the Huaxia District say Wuyi takes the initiative to provoke the national war, Luzon enters the national war mode, and the royal city of Manila enters the second-level alert state. Please check the specific situation yourself!"
...
"System announcement: Luzon enters the national war mode. According to the national war rules, during the national war, the royal city teleportation array will automatically cut off the connection with the territory teleportation array. Players cannot be reincarnated immediately after the death of the battle. Please be aware of it!"
...
"I guess at this time, Luzon players are already gathering north."
Because with the cover of the fleet's return, it was a special period when the National War month just ended, and it was not difficult to raid the city of Lavag.
The hard thing is how to keep it.
Just letting Daxia take a bite in Luzon. Even if the Lord of Luzon Martin can withstand this breath, the eight million players in Luzon cannot swallow it. They will definitely take back Lavag City at all costs.
Without the [Telection Talisman], Ouyang Shuo would not have provoked Luzon at this time.
Even if the cross-border teleportation array was opened, Ouyang Shuo never thought of taking over the entire Luzon through this war. After just experiencing a series of national wars, the Xia army was very tired and should not start another war.
As long as you defend Ravag City, you will be considered a victory.
Han Xin led his troops to sweep the surrounding areas not to expand the territory. The main purpose was two: one was to plunder food and grass, and the other was to plunder craftsmen and the people.
With food and supplies, the army can be stationed in Lavag City for a long time.
As for the craftsmen and the people, they naturally need to strengthen the city defense of Lavag City and turn Lavag City into a war fortress.
As soon as the officials sent by the cabinet arrived, they immediately took action.
With the cooperation of the First Corps of the Hu Ben Army, some people were driven outside the city and were responsible for cutting off all the woods outside the city, and even the weeds were swept away with a fire.
Outside Lavag City, there will be nothing to hide at the beginning.
The cut wood and the stones were transported back to the city, either hoarded for city protection, or used as city defense.
The workshops in the city also began to operate, producing enough arrows.
In addition, Ouyang Shuo also took advantage of the convenience of the fleet to bring a batch of weapons, equipment, food and supplies from Edo to help the army overcome the initial difficulties.
The future city of Lavague will implement military control.
To put it bluntly, this place will be a super barracks responsible for fighting Luzon.
After opening the cross-border teleportation array, Ouyang Shuo followed the allied guilds such as the Blood Evil Mercenary Group and the Snow Rose Mercenary Group, and asked them to dispatch members of the guild who were keen on PK to help.
It can be foreseen that before the next large-scale entry into Luzon in Daxia, there will be a passionate PK between adventurers outside Lavag City every moment.
This will become a new hot land for PK madmen.
…………
The efficient administrative system of Daxia is fully reflected in the Lavague City.
Without Ouyang Shuo's words, everything was on the right track in just two days. On the periphery, the Leopard Army led by Han Xin had also fought with the Luzon vanguard troops.
Although he had no intention of invading Luzon in full swing, Ouyang Shuo did not mind using the hands of the Baotao Army to fight with Luzon, which would undermine Luzon's self-confidence and let them see the power of the Great Xia Army.
When fighting in the front and building in the rear, everything is in order.
After receiving Ouyang Shuo's request, Blood Romance and others were also quite enthusiastic. While feeling sorry for Ouyang Shuo's madness, they sent PK teams to support them very happily.
When players in the Huaxia area learned that Daxia had actually established a transnational teleportation array in Luzon, some PK madmen were immediately excited and without waiting for Ouyang Shuo to issue a call, they took the initiative to apply for teleportation to Lavag City.
Ouyang Shuo naturally refused everyone.
In just a few days, 100,000 PK madmen gathered in Lavag City.
The influx of a large number of players also caused a huge load on the logistics of Lavag City. Ouyang Shuo immediately ordered nearby Annan Province and Qiongzhou County to transport grain and grass to Lavag City.
At the same time, Ouyang Shuo also welcomed the Daxia Chamber of Commerce to come here to carry out trade.
In order to ensure the safety of the waters near Lavag City, the Yashan Fleet will station two entire formations at the port of Wag City, which is enough to ensure the safety of the passing ships.
With the Indian Ocean Fleet supporting him, the Luzon fleet would never have the courage to attack Lavag City.
On July 7, seeing that Lavag City gradually stabilized, Ouyang Shuo left Han Xin to stay here for the time being, and he set off for the Shanhai City under the escort of the Royal Fleet.
Chapter completed!
