Ouyang Shuo did not expect that someone would dare to touch China's dragon whiskers.
Just now, Ouyang Shuo received three system notifications. Goryeo, South Palm, and Shinla had simultaneously declared war on China. Ouyang Shuo smelled a conspiracy.
It was too obvious.
South Palm and Shinla, the two ASEAN countries, shared a large border with Great Xia's Annan Province. They could only attack China from the Annan Province.
What about Goryeo?
It seemed like they were provoked by Japan, but in fact, they shared a border with Great Xia's Beijiang Province.
The three countries were like three sharp knives that pierced Great Xia's abdomen. If not for Gaia's rule that only three countries could launch a war against the same country, there would be more challengers.
For example, the African continent would never be as peaceful as it was now.
It was obvious that the mastermind was the Silver Hand. Other than this super organization, no one else had the power to coordinate the actions of the various countries.
The Grand Council.
Ouyang Shuo retracted his gaze from the map and said, "Everyone, we are in trouble!"
The most troublesome of the three countries was Goryeo.
Firstly, Goryeo shared a border with the Beijiang Province, and the Goryeo army could attack directly from the land. Secondly, Goryeo had a total of seven million players, which was on the same level as Japan and Annan.
If Chenla and Southern Palm could be said to be minor ailments, then Goryeo would be a major problem.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Du Ruhui asked.
Ouyang Shuo's gaze was firm. "This is the enemy's first wave of attack. We must not retreat! Not only must we not retreat, but we must also counterattack so that they will go for wool and come home shorn. "
"Let this battle be the prelude to the confrontation between Great Xia and the Silver Hand!"
Ouyang Shuo finally made up his mind to face the Silver Hand head-on. Perhaps, deep in his heart, Ouyang Shuo had been waiting for this day to come.
The current Great Xia had the confidence to deal with any provocation.
When Bai Qi, Huo Qubing, Zheng He, and the rest heard this, they felt their blood boil and clenched their fists.
Ouyang Shuo decided to split the Great Xia army into three relatively independent groups.
Shinla and South Palm were the first group, and Bai Qi was in charge of the southwest war zone.
It was reported that there were a total of 1.2 million Zhen La players, and 600,000 Southern Palm players. The Forbidden Army of the two countries added together was only 180,000, and even the territory army would not exceed 300,000.
In the southwest war zone, the Blind Dragon Stallion Army and the Annan Corps had a total of eight field legions, totaling five hundred and sixty thousand soldiers. With Bai Qi in command, it should be more than enough to deal with a pincer attack from the two countries.
The Indian Ocean Fleet, led by Smoke and Fire, was in charge of providing reinforcements at sea.
The order that Ouyang Shuo gave Bai Qi was to seize the opportunity to annex the two countries.
As for the confrontation between the adventurer players, Ouyang Shuo planned to leave it to the Southern Sky Alliance, which was guarding the satellite cities in Hanoi. Similar to the [Rivers and Mountains Alliance] in Morocco and the [Purple Moon Alliance] in Somalia, the [Southern Sky Alliance] led by the cute little hero was also a combined guild with a total of 300,000 members.
In addition to the other Huaxia Region adventurers who were stationed in the satellite cities and the Tranquil South Province, it would be enough!
Goryeo was the second group.
In the face of this troublesome opponent, apart from the Northern Borderline Army led by Chen Yucheng, Ouyang Shuo was also prepared to mobilize the Flying Bear Army led by Li Jing and the imperial guards led by Huo Qubing to the north as reinforcements.
In order to fight against Goryeo, Ouyang Shuo played his strongest trump card.
Ouyang Shuo naturally had his reasons for doing so. If there was any difference between the Battle of Japan and the Battle of Goryeo, the Battle of Japan was an all-out war between nations, while the Battle of Goryeo was a contest between Great Xia and Goryeo.
Just this point alone was enough for Ouyang Shuo to make up his mind to send the strongest imperial guards into the Battle of Goryeo. Moreover, Japan was mainly mountainous and was an island country, which was not suitable for the imperial guards.
Two combined armies, ten field legions, and 700,000 soldiers would cost 1.4 million gold coins just to teleport back and forth. This time, Ouyang Shuo was going all out.
The second group of reinforcements at sea was naturally the responsibility of the coastal fleet led by Qi Jiguang.
As for the adventurer players, Ouyang Shuo planned to mobilize the [Blood Shadow Alliance] that guarded the satellite cities in Shanhai City, the [Rivers and Mountains Alliance] that guarded Morocco, and the [Purple Moon Alliance] that guarded Somalia.
Together with the [Flowing Light Pavilion], there would be a total of four super guilds.
Apart from that, Ouyang Shuo also planned to mobilize the Chinese players to actively participate in the battle against Goryeo. Although the Silver Hand wanted to scam Great Xia, this was a war after all. Ouyang Shuo should not be the only one fighting.
With Ouyang Shuo's prestige in the Chinese region, there was no problem.
The commander of the second group of allied forces was designated by Ouyang Shuo as the commander of the Flying Bear Army, Li Jing.
Without a doubt, this was the moment for Great Tang's god of war, Li Jing, to prove himself. Whether or not he could live up to the title of Commander in Chief that Ouyang Shuo had bestowed upon him would depend on the battle of Goryeo.
The last group was naturally Japan.
Due to the influence of the Three Kingdoms Challenge, the expeditionary army that Great Xia sent to Japan would be greatly reduced. There was no need to mention the navy. Without the coastal fleet as reinforcements, there was still the Royal Fleet, Cliff Mountain Fleet, and the Atlantic Fleet.
As for the land army, the Soaring Eagle Army, the Stalwart Tiger Army, and the city guards had to stay behind to defend their homeland. The only army that could really go to war was the Leopard Army led by Han Xin.
The Soaring Eagle Army guarded the west, the Stalwart Tiger Army guarded the east, and the city guards guarded the headquarters.
Although Gaia had stipulated that all internal conflicts were prohibited during the war, Gaia's ban was only limited to the one month of the war. Once the expeditionary army was unable to return to the country on time, it would be troublesome.
Therefore, even if it was a three-front war, Ouyang Shuo had to leave behind troops to defend his homeland. At most, he could only transfer one army from the Soaring Eagle Army, the Stalwart Tiger Army, and the city guards.
As for the Moroca Army, the Somali Army, and the Auckland Army, they only had a hundred thousand soldiers. Even if they were transferred, it was better than nothing, so it was better not to go through the trouble.
It was worth mentioning that the Auckland region had already submitted to Great Xia, so it was no longer a separate war zone. It avoided a disaster.
It had to be said that in the ASEAN region alone, Java had already set its sights on East Timor, while Johor had set its sights on Nigeria. It had to be said that in the ASEAN region alone, Java had already set its sights on East Timor, while Johor had set its sights on Nigeria.
If it wasn't for the quota limit and the fact that they didn't share a border with Great Xia, Luzon would have chosen to start a war with Huaxia. Unfortunately, New Zealand couldn't be the target of the war, so Luzon was destined to miss out on this war.
Apart from that, in the Asian continent, India had set its sights on the Bamboo Region in the north instead of Ceylon across the sea. It could be said that India wanted to resolve the hidden dangers on the mainland first before turning back to deal with Ceylon.
…
Without a doubt, this would be the most difficult war that Great Xia would face.
For this war, Great Xia had mobilized almost all the troops on land and sea within its borders. The troops involved exceeded three million, and the players involved, including the logistics, exceeded ten million.
The adventurers who went to Japan were naturally led by the three super guilds, [Baleful Blood Mercenary Group], [Snow Mourning Rose Mercenary Group], and [Fallen Leaf Alliance].
Apart from that, [Thread] provided logistical support for the adventurers throughout the journey.
Among the three major groups, the Japanese had the weakest land troops. Fortunately, Great Xia wasn't alone this time. The Blazing Flame Legion of Fallen Phoenix City would go with the Great Xia army to conquer the northern region of Japan.
In an instant, the Japanese army once again became the most powerful force. Just the land army alone numbered 910,000.
During the meeting yesterday, Feng Qiuhuang had already made it clear that the Blazing Flame Legion would obey the unified command of Great Xia. Therefore, Ouyang Shuo needed to designate a commander for the Japanese expeditionary force.
Without any hesitation, Ouyang Shuo decided on Han Xin.
Bai Qi, Li Jing, and Han Xin could be said to be the three most well-rounded Immortal Generals in the Great Xia army. They were also Ouyang Shuo's most trusted commanders. Every time there was a war, one of them would definitely appear on the stage.
This was also why Ouyang Shuo decided to let Sun Bin lead the Brave Tiger Army to defend his home instead of the Leopard Army.
After deciding on the strategy for the war, Ouyang Shuo stopped at that.
The specific battle strategy, troops, rations, supplies, and warships would naturally be jointly handled by the Grand Council, the Privy Council, and the three commanders, Bai, Li, and Han.
Everyone had their own specialties, and Ouyang Shuo couldn't handle a million-strong army.
Furthermore, Ouyang Shuo had other things to do.
That afternoon, Ouyang Shuo posted a message on the forum. "I've received a notification from the system. Goryeo, South Palm, and Chenla have declared war on us."
Once the news came out, the world was in an uproar.
After the Chinese players were shocked, they couldn't contain their indignation.
Just like what Ouyang Shuo had thought, as the strongest region in the gaming world, the Chinese players subconsciously believed that China could only attack others and had no reason to be attacked.
Who would have thought that Chenla, South Palm, and Goryeo would be so reckless?
For a moment, the crowd was stirred up, and requests for war could be heard incessantly. It had to be said that in this aspect, the Chinese players were very unyielding. Even if it was a 1v4 battle, they weren't afraid at all.
In addition to the support of 100 million players, they also had Great Xia.
Naturally, Ouyang Shuo couldn't say much on the forum, but the External Information Office, led by Violet Roland, the Deputy Minister of the Chamberlain of Dependencies, quickly took action and summoned the wind and rain on the forum.
On one hand, Violet Roland declared Great Xia's determination and boldness to resist the foreign enemies. He timely disclosed the distribution plan of the three armies of Great Xia to appease the hearts of the Chinese players.
Following which, the External Information Office changed the tone and guided the Chinese players to resist the foreign enemies together with Great Xia.
Relying on the previous promises, the Chinese players' favorable impression of Great Xia was simply exploding. They couldn't wait to throw themselves into the war and follow in Great Xia's footsteps.
Of course, this was only the atmosphere on the forum and didn't represent the real situation. This was a matter of life and death. Every adventurer, especially the frontline combat professional players, would be extremely cautious when making a choice.
This was understandable.
Ouyang Shuo didn't place all his hopes on the "casual" players. The main force of adventurer players was still the elite teams of the super guilds.
Because of this, Ouyang Shuo began to meet the leaders of the eight guilds that held shares in the war. He explained to them clearly about Great Xia's strategy for the war and hoped that they would cooperate.
How to convince them was a test of Ouyang Shuo's wisdom. 46
