Chapter 1010 - Navy Oppression

Gaia 5th year, 4th month, 4th day, the Great Xia Navy and the Haiphong Navy clashed in the Gulf of Tonkin.

The results of the battle stunned everyone.

One hour.

The Haiphong Navy only lasted for an hour before they were ripped to shreds by the Great Xia alliance squadron.

Numerous warship fragments and tens of thousands of corpses floated on the surface of the ocean, floating onto the beaches of Haiphong City.

The closely packed wreckage of the battle on the beaches described the cruelty of the battle.

The strength of the Great Xia Navy had stunned the world once more. When this tiger showed its fangs, their scary killing ability terrified everyone.

Fear was like a plague, swift spreading across the entire world.

The ASEAN states were totally speechless and did not dare to have any ideas, hiding their heads. Japan Lord Keisuke Honda could not fall asleep, tossing and turning, his eyes flushing red.

"Prepare for war! Prepare for war! This is a life and death war!"

These were the words that Keisuke Honda said the most and represented the thoughts of all Japanese players. Before the country war started, the Japanese region had already united and were ready to go all out.

Di Chen was similarly filled with fear. He could not help but ask himself how long the newly formed Handan Squadron would last in front of the Great Xia navy.

Shaking his head, he did not dare to think any deeper.

Only the various Mediterranean nations that had fought with Great Xia could remain calm. Even Jack was hesitating about whether he should have a head to head battle with Great Xia over Hawaii or not.

Thinking about it for an entire night, he placed his heart to it, "I have to!"

Jack was really confident in the Free Squadron; he believed that they were not weaker than the Great Xia Navy.

The Haiphong City Navy was just a small rock on the road to the Great Xia Navy. After kicking it aside, the squadron continued forward towards the long shoreline of Annan.

On the wreckage filled battlefield, the three squadrons split up.

The deputy commander as well as the commander of the alliance squadron, Zhou Yu, led the Emperor Squadron to attack Haiphong City. Navy chief general Zhou Qin would lead the 1st division of the Pacific Squadron up north to sweep the ocean regions north of Haiphong City.

Yu Dayou would lead the Yashan Squadron down south to sweep the vast south region.

Their goal was really simple. They aimed to viciously strike the enemy's shoreline, and then choose a suitable place to disembark and build a base for the army to move to land.

Before this, Haiphong City was like a tiger without claws, unable to do anything.

The power of a navy was totally shown in this country war, especially to countries surrounded by water. Without a strong navy, it would be tough for them in the upcoming country wars.

4th month, 5th day, Haiphong City.

Facing the rising sun, the golden dragon flag fluttered in the wind.

The news of the navy's destruction had spread out across Haiphong City long ago. The arrival of the Great Xia Navy was like a death god to the civilians, and they all hid away.

In the nearby regions, there was not a single fishing boat within a thousand miles. Even a bold fisherman would not dare to go out to see upon seeing the wreckage.

On the city wall, upon looking at the slowly approaching Great Xia navy, a look of confusion appeared in Ruan Tianque's eyes, "Something is wrong! Why do they only have so few warships?"

Le Loi said, "The enemy must have split up."

"See!" Ruan Tianque was filled with mockery, "Great Xia's Ouyang Shuo is a fake person. He says he wants to seek vengeance for Tongchun Chamber of commerce, but in truth, he just wants to kill us all."

Behind the two of them stood more than 10 adventure gamemode players with huge identities. They were the leading figures of the top 10 guilds in Hanoi. They had especially rushed over to take a look.

Hearing the words of Ruan Tianque, their expressions were really complicated.

Ruan Tianque suddenly turned around and cupped his fist, "Guys, the matter is so obvious. Great Xia wants to wipe out Annan, so I hope that all of you do not hold onto anymore false hopes."

"What do you want us to do? Brother Ruan, please speak!" Since country war was unavoidable, they were not afraid either.

Annan had eight million players, so they did not need to be afraid of Great Xia.

"Please instruct us, the Hunting Eagle Group is at your disposal!"

Some people asked to fight while some of them kept silent, obviously not certain.

When Ruan Tianque saw that, he did not mind. He acted causal and said, "Since the Yiu brothers are so righteous, follow me to the manor; let's draw up a plan!"

"Sure!"

As they said that, the group of them left the city wall.

Looking at the situation, Great Xia was not in a hurry to siege, so Ruan Tianque was not anxious either.

On the way back, Ruan Tianque called Le Loi, "Since Great Xia has split up, the other two legions are in danger. Ask them to hold on, I'll persuade the players to go down south."

Ruan Tianque believed that if the two legions defended all out, the two cities could last for a week, which would be long enough for the players to go down south.

Of course, they could only rely on the players to assist them.

The current Haiphong City only had 160 thousand troops. Regardless of whether Great Xia was in a hurry to attack or not, Ruan Tianque would not move away this group of troops.

4th month, 6th day, Danang City.

Danang was located in the middle of Annan, its north connected to Hue, while its south connected to Nha Trang. The northeast had the Son Tra peninsula as a barrier. Its bay had really deep waters and formed a natural port.

Not far north of the city was the famous Hai Van mountain.

Hai Van mountain stretched from Annan's south border to the east right into the sea. Hai Van peak was its last mountain peak, and it was 470 meters above sea level. The top of the mountain was surrounded by white clouds. The mountains were surrounded by trees, merging with the blue sky and the ocean, making it an unforgettable scenery.

This mountain split north and south and was a really unique strategic position.

As a result, the 3rd legion of Haiphong was asked to be stationed here. Just last morning, Legion General Fan Tianming was ordered by Le Loi to defend until reinforcements arrived.

The moment the military order was given, Fan Tianming did not even think about it. He immediately led his troops into the city to set up defenses. To ensure that everything went right, Fan Tianming even recruited young men to help defend the city.

The main point of the defenses was the east side of the ocean.

At 10 AM, Yashan Squadron's 1st division arrived on time.

Based on the battle plan set up by the Grand Council, as long as they took down Danang, it could split Annan into half.

Hence, this battle was the first important one in the war of Annan.

Behind the Yashan Squadron 1st division were two army legions. First, there was the 2nd legion of the Guards Legion Corps led by Huo Qubing. Second, there was the 2nd legion of the City Protection Legion Corps led by Mu Guiying.

The two legions would work with the Yashan Squadron to take down Danang City.

Ruan Tianque thought they could defend it for a week, but he had underestimated Great Xia. Baiqi had given Yu Dayou an order. If he could not take Danang City down within two days, he would be beheaded.

When Yu Dayou received the order, he could only pass the pressure down to his men. Shouting to the majors, "Listen up, if we cannot take down this place within a day and a half, I'll kill all of you."

The moment the majors went back to their ships, they summoned their captains, "The Fleet Admiral wants us to take it down in a day; if not, he will kill us all. I want to live, so before he kills me, I'll kill all of you."

The captains all returned to their warships with their faces ashen white. They summoned their soldiers and announced, "If we cannot take down the city within half a day, let's all kill ourselves."

The soldiers at the lowest level were confused, as their simple brains could not comprehend how taking down Danang had to do with them killing themselves.

Their generals shouted, "What are you all standing over there for, take your weapons and prepare to fight. Anyways, we are going to die."

The soldiers felt that it made sense, so they did not think about it.

"Who cares? Let's just charge forward with our general."

Similar to Haiphong City, Danang City was also an ocean city, and its only weak point was the side facing the ocean.

After the squadron got into position, Yu Dayou did not hesitate and directly ordered the squadron to sail into the port and launch its first round of cannon fire to clear the area.

Military orders were like a mountain, so Yu Dayou did not show even a single shred of mercy.

'Hong! Hong! Hong!'

All of a sudden, cannon fire sounded out, and the merchant ships were sunk. In fact, they were blown to shreds. Wood pieces were like sharp knives, flying everywhere.

The pier was even worse, as to choose a suitable disembarking point for the army, Yu Dayou had ordered them to level the entire pier.

In an instance, the entire pier was in a sea of flames.

Smoke bellowed, and with the ocean breeze, it drifted to the city wall. It choked the city protection soldiers till they teared up. Compared to that, what the soldiers were even more terrified of was the enemy's ferocity.

No unneeded shouts; they just launched their assault right away. There was no mercy, and any enemy and building were blown into shreds, leaving nothing behind.

Facing such an enemy, the city protection troops could not help but feel afraid.

When Fan Tianjing saw that, worry filled his eyes. The general's orders were to defend for a week. If the city was broken into, he was going to die.

When the fire ceased, the entire pier was scorched land.

The entire air was filled with a dense charred smell, and there was a tinge of barbecued meat smell to it. Thinking back to the civilians who were screaming in the flames, some of the soldiers could not help but vomit. At this moment, their faces were ashen white.

The young men who were recruited vomited out their guts. Their legs went soft, and they lost all their fighting strength.
