Chapter 1135: The Decisive Battle in Mindanao

Facing the siege of the Great Xia Guards, the next fate of the Canberra army can be imagined.

While the fighting in the Australian battlefield was in full swing, the Luzon battlefield, thousands of miles away, finally broke the calm and showed new trends.

It was the reinforcements from the Java State that broke the balance of the battlefield.

As the only lord of Java, Uais is naturally not a vegetarian. After deciding to abandon the Australian region, Uais has turned his attention to the Luzon battlefield.

The Trinity has already lost a corner, and Luzon can no longer afford to lose.

According to Luzon lord Martin's suggestion, they planned to take the initiative to attack while the Great Xia Guards were trapped in Australia.

The target of the attack was the Bactria Hanoi Army operating in Mindanao in the south.

The Hanoi army only sent three legions to participate in the battle this time, with a total strength of no more than 210,000 troops. Yiluo City, the main city of the Luzon Territory, is stationed with 100,000 territorial troops and 100,000 Javanese reinforcements.

Before the war, Yiluo City had a total of 400,000 territorial troops. One hundred thousand people were killed in the Battle of Laoag, and the remaining three hundred thousand troops happened to be deployed in the three major island groups.

Hundreds of thousands of people are stationed on Luzon Island, and they cooperate with the Forbidden Army of the Royal City and the combat players to prevent the Great Xia Longxiang Army from going south. Hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed in Mindanao to prevent the invasion of Hanoi troops in Bactria.

What Martin meant was that, taking advantage of the opportunity when the Daxia Longxiang Army and the Imperial Guards were blocked one after another, they concentrated their superior forces and launched an encirclement and suppression campaign against the Daxia Hanoi Army.

If these three legions can be wiped out in one fell swoop, it will undoubtedly be very exciting.

Uais was persuaded by Martin and decided to add another 150,000 reinforcements on the basis of 100,000 reinforcements to form a coalition force of 450,000 people, and went south to Mindanao to encircle and suppress the Hanoi army.

This time, the Hanoi army's situation immediately became difficult.

As a frontier defense force, the combat effectiveness of the Hanoi Army may be slightly superior in terms of weapons and equipment compared with the armies of the territories of Java and Luzon, but the overall strength is not like that of the Janissaries, which can form a crushing situation.

Two against one, the Hanoi army will definitely not win.

…………

November 11, Mindanao, Iligan City.

As the only territory in Luzon, Yiluo City not only has a teleportation array in the main city, but also has a teleportation array in Iligan City in Mindanao.

At that time, it was the country of Java, which has now become an ally, to guard against.

In the evening, the 100,000 Yiluo City army, together with the 250,000 Javanese reinforcements, all teleported here and joined the 100,000 Yiluo City territory army stationed in the city.

During the Australian National War, the Hanoi Army, with the cooperation of the Yashan Fleet, successfully landed in the bay in the south of Mindanao and captured the bay city of Davao City as a stronghold.

Xue Rengui, the commander of the Hanoi army, knew that if he wanted to truly capture Mindanao, he must first break through Iligan City and cut off Ilo City's support for Mindanao.

Therefore, after taking down Davao City, the Hanoi Army did not sweep around, but went all the way north, taking Iligan City at the fastest speed. Before the arrival of Luzon reinforcements, the Hanoi army had besieged the city of Iligan.

Facing the siege of the Hanoi army, the 100,000 territorial troops stationed in the city were terrified at first, worried that they would not be able to defend. An army of 350,000 suddenly teleported in, changing the direction of the war at once.

It was night, in the camp of the Hanoi army.

The lights in the camp were flickering, Xue Rengui was dressed in military uniform, sitting in front of the desk, holding a secret order just sent by the command, thoughtful.

The Black Snake Guard's infiltration into Luzon was very successful.

The moment the Java reinforcements arrived in Ilo City and disappeared in Ilo City together with the army from the Luzon Territory, they were captured by the secret agents of the Black Snake Guard in the city and reported to the command headquarters immediately.

The enemy's obvious combat intentions naturally cannot escape the eyes of Bai Qi and Jia Xu.

"The military division thinks, how should we deal with the enemy's change of tactics? Should we notify the Hanoi army to withdraw early?" Bai Qi asked Jia Xu for his opinion.

Jia Xu was still so calm. Instead of directly answering Bai Qi's question, he said instead: "According to the battle reports from the front line, the battle for Australia is basically coming to an end and can end at any time."

Bai Qi was also very patient, sitting still and listening to Jia Xu solve the mystery.

"I have a plan that can realize the linkage of the three places. Please refer to the general." As he spoke, Jia Xu began to describe his battle plan in detail. The more Bai Qi listened, the brighter his eyes became.

When Jia Xu finished speaking, Bai Qi was already full of admiration, and he showed a rare smile, and said: "The military adviser is indeed the number one counselor of the dynasty, and he really does amazing things."

"The general is absurd!" Jia Xu said modestly.

Bai Qi made a decision, "Just follow the plan of the military division, and I will send secret orders to all ministries."

…………

The order Xue Rengui received was very strange. The command headquarters asked the Hanoi army to pretend to retreat all the way until the stronghold of Davao City without the enemy being able to see the flaws.

During the process, the Hanoi army must always create a false impression, so that the enemy army thinks that if it is a little bit worse and harder, it can completely wipe out the Hanoi army, whet its appetite, and draw the main force of the enemy army out of Iligan City.

"Could it be that the High Command wants to?"

Xue Rengui vaguely guessed the intention of the command, "It's just, where do the soldiers come from?"

Since he couldn't figure it out, Xue Rengui stopped thinking about it and concentrated his energy on the military order. He wanted to fulfill the requirements of the command, but it was not easy at all.

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Convene the generals and discuss matters overnight!"

"promise!"

Soon, generals above the first rank of the Hanoi army division commanders gathered in the big tent; sitting in the front row were naturally the three army commanders Pei Xingjian, Li Li and Xiang Zhuang.

The news of the enemy's reinforcements to Iligan City has already spread among the army. The generals are not sure how to fight next, whether to attack or defend. When they heard that the commander-in-chief raised his account to discuss matters, they naturally came quickly.

Xue Rengui didn't talk too much, and quickly set up the arrangement.

It was not until late at night that the generals dispersed one by one, and communicated tactics at the division level overnight.

…………

November 12th, Iligan City.

Early in the morning, when the Luzon lord Martin led the generals to the tower, the Hanoi army that had surrounded the city of Iligan before had retreated ten miles overnight and was no longer seen.

"Hmph, they are well-informed." Martin said with some disappointment.

Martin originally planned to give them a big surprise when the Hanoi army attacked the city again. Now it seems that the enemy's intelligence work is very good.

"Since it's exposed, let's go out to the city and fight!"

The national war is a race against time, and every day it drags on, the war becomes more variable, and Martin cannot be hesitant. With the order of the military, except for the remaining 50,000 troops guarding the city, the remaining 400,000 troops came out in full force.

As the lord, Martin also stayed in Iligan City to sit in charge.

Martin is not a fool. He naturally knows the importance of Iligan City, and the consequences of losing it are not something he, nor the whole of Luzon, can bear. Therefore, no matter what, the vigilance against Iligan City will not be relaxed.
