Online Game: Barbarism And Civilization

Chapter 512

Luzon was a small country in ancient times. During the Song Dynasty, Chinese merchant ships often visited here for trade.

Later, because of the war, a large number of Song dynasty people went into exile to this overseas island country. Song dynasty people who lived abroad called it Luzon to commemorate that they were descendants of China.

(I understand, there is no historical data to support it)

Luzon Island is located in the northern part of the Philippine Islands. It is the largest, most populous and economically developed island in the Philippines.

The island is rich in gold, silver and copper, and the products are very rich.

The island’s output of rice, corn, coconut, sugar cane, mango, banana and other crops ranks first in the country and is the main grain-producing area in the Philippines. In addition, the island also produces high-quality hardwoods, including Luzon cigars. Well-known in the world.

In ancient times when gold, silver, and copper were used as currencies, it is no exaggeration to say that the occupation of Luzon Island will at least arm an army of millions more. The output of gold, silver and copper here is enough to maintain a hundred An army of tens of thousands has been around for hundreds of years.

The rice grown three times a year on the island can provide enough food for tens of millions of people.

Luzon is a veritable treasure island. Once Luzon is occupied, the entire Philippines will not be far from annihilation.

The Condor Army occupying Luzon Island can not only get a rich logistics supply base, but also use it as a springboard to attack South and Southeast Asian countries. Luzon Island can completely play a strategic springboard role.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and the other can survive a hundred battles.

Although Ning Yuan thought that the Filipino player was vulnerable, in order to avoid capsize in the gutter, he sent a caravan to Luzon in the name of doing business.

After purchasing a large amount of natural rubber, the caravan smoothly inquired about some information about Luzon.

There are now three major forces on Luzon Island, namely the Philippine Luzon Allied Forces which occupied Manila and the area south of it, the Northern Luzon Kingdom which occupied the northern part of Luzon Island, and the Middle Luzon Kingdom which occupied the central part of Luzon Island.

The Luzon Confederate Army is a regime dominated by Philippine players. They have strong maritime power, and their army is relatively weak.

The Kingdom of Central Luzon is a regime formed by some Filipino player lords and indigenous people. Small-scale local wars often break out between them and the other two forces.

The Northern Luzon Kingdom is a relatively pure aboriginal force. Although there are some players in the kingdom, the main rights are concentrated in the hands of the great nobles in the country.

Of the three regimes, only the Luzon Confederate Army has a powerful navy, and the other two regimes are fully committed to developing military forces on land.

Trapped by the weakness of the army, the Allied Luzon army, while defending the city of Manila, can only send navy to attack the coastline of the Kingdom of Luzon from time to time to relieve the pressure on Manila.

Although the Central Luzon Kingdom is the most powerful, because of the enemy’s back and forth, they dare not concentrate on attacking one of the enemies.

The three forces are now checking and balancing each other, and no one has the strength to annex each other.

After understanding the power pattern on Luzon Island, Ning Yuan, Bing Qilin and others formulated a two-way attack plan.

The naval fleet of the Ice and Fire Corps will sail directly into Manila Bay from the South China Sea, actively looking for the Luzon Allied maritime fleet for a decisive battle.

After defeating the enemy’s sea fleet, they will quickly split the entire Philippine archipelago and cut off the connection between the islands. After the main force has occupied Luzon, they will take advantage of the other islands.The Ground Corps of the Ice and Fire Corps will directly attack the Kingdom of Northern Luzon.

They will set off from Taiwan Island, land from the northern plains, and then all the way south, one group will advance to the city of Manila.

Considering that the Ice and Fire Legion is strong in close combat and the long-range attack ability is a little less meaningful, so Ning Yuan specially transferred five full-man Wandering Xia Legions from the mainland of the Condor Empire to help them.

……

On this day, the wind was beautiful, and the Luzon Allied patrol fleet was patrolling Own’s territorial waters along the coastline, and suddenly a large fleet appeared in front of them.

The Philippine player of the patrol ship saw the flag of ice and fire hung high on the mast of the opposing warship, and his complexion suddenly changed.

“Quick, return at full speed, notify the rear, the ice and fire pirates are coming.”

Since the ice and fire pirates defeated the East China Sea Fleet of the Condor Empire in the East China Sea, their reputation has spread throughout Southeast Asia.

While gloating at misfortune, people are also praying that they will not become the next target of these ferocious pirates.

After the ice and fire pirates captured China’s Taiwan and Hainan islands, people thought that this powerful pirate was specifically against the China player.

The Filipino players never thought that they would be their next goal.

After learning of the massive invasion of the Ice and Fire pirates, the Luzon Allied naval fleet immediately began to assemble in Manila Bay.

The Filipino players prayed that the opponent was just passing by, while preparing for the battle.

When the Ice and Fire fleet drove straight towards Manila Bay, the fluke of the Philippine players was immediately shattered, and they were forced to choose to fight.

Soon, two huge naval fleets staged a tragic naval battle in the waters outside Manila Bay.

In order to get the upper hand, the Philippine players sent all the mermaid fighters. They hope to defeat the pirate fleet with the powerful mermaid army.

However, the Ice and Fire Fleet did not send a mermaid army to fight with it, so they ran straight into the Philippine player’s battleship.

The mermaid warriors who entered the sea desperately beat the bottom of the Ice and Fire Fleet, and then they failed to achieve any results except for shaking their own arms a little numb.

When the Filipino players on the battleship learned that the mermaid fighters could not scuttle the enemy’s battleship, they were suddenly shocked in cold sweat.

Looking at the pirate warships colliding at high speed, their hearts were filled with despair.

Now they finally knew how the Condor Navy was defeated by these pirates, but it was too late because they couldn’t escape.

In order to give full play to the characteristics of the cold iron wood, the new type of magic warships of the Condor Navy have deliberately strengthened the collision ability of the collision angle.

The Ice and Fire Fleet is equipped with a new type of magic warship made of cold iron wood. They are now fighting the enemy without sending a mermaid army or using the long-range weapons of the trebuchet, just simply and rudely hit it directly.

As the battleships of the Ice and Fire Fleet collided from all directions, the Luzon Allied fleet was immediately engulfed by the enemy.

When some peripheral warships were hit and sunk by enemy ships, they ignored the mermaid fighters in Shanghai and retreated directly to the interior of Manila Bay.

When the Ice and Fire Fleet blocked the entrance and exit of Manila Bay, they suddenly became a turtle in the urn.

After experiencing the Haizhou Bay incident, the Condor Navy is now very sensitive to these bays, so they left some warships at the entrance for defense to prevent the enemy from being encircled in the bay.

After resolving the worries, the main force of the Ice and Fire fleet immediately sailed into Manila Bay and smashed the Philippine fleet that had fled.

Knowing the power of the pirate warships, the Philippine players dare not let the enemy ships approach easily.

They played a chase game with the enemy ship in the bay. They hoped to use the long-range weapons on the battleship to slowly kill the navy soldiers on the enemy ship.

However, when they saw the merman warriors on the enemy ship entering the sea, their faces were instantly ashamed.

Now their mermaid army is still outside the bay, they can only watch the enemy mermaid soldiers scuttle their warships one by one.

The Philippine players did not expect that the Ice and Fire fleet’s warships are not afraid of mermaid fighters, so they made serious tactical mistakes from the beginning.

When they abandoned the mermaid army still in the sea and fled into Manila Bay, the naval battle turned into a one-sided slaughter.

As the battleships were scuttled by the enemy’s mermaid fighters, all the Filipino players on the battleship were ashamed. At the end of the battle, they gave up the struggle and allowed the battleship to be scuttled and crushed.

As the last Philippine battleship slowly sank into the sea, the naval battle ended with the victory of the Ice and Fire fleet.

After this fiasco, the Philippine player not only lost their most powerful fleet, but also lost control of the ocean. Since then, the Ice and Fire fleet can cruise in the Philippine waters.

After defeating the Philippine fleet, the Ice and Fire fleet successfully surrendered the mermaid army that had lost its support.

Soon after, they captured some islands off the coast of the Philippines, and then used those islands as bases to formally take over the entire Philippine waters.

……

When the naval fleet achieved a great victory, the Army Corps of the Ice and Fire Corps also officially landed in the Pasaren area of ​​Luzon.

The northern part of Luzon Island has always been a relatively safe rear area for the Kingdom of Northern Luzon. Normally, even a pirate can’t be seen, so they don’t have many troops there.

The sudden landing of the Ice and Fire Corps directly caught them by surprise, and soon a half of Northern Luzon fell directly.

By the time the Northern Luzon Kingdom mobilized the front-line army back, the forward army of the Ice and Fire Corps had already hit the Iguige area.

In order to regain the lost ground, the King of Northern Luzon gave up his defense of the city, and he personally led an army of 500,000 to rush towards the Ice and Fire Legion.

Facing the Northern Luzon Legion, which was on the strength of its forces, Bing Qilin chose to show the enemy’s weakness.

He pretended to be lost and kept the army retreating backwards, discarding a lot of heavy supplies along the way.

Looking at the pots and pans abandoned by the enemy along the road, the King of Northern Luzon thought that the enemy’s position had been messed up, so he immediately decided to take advantage of it and pursue it.

Although he could not catch up with the enemy after chasing for several days, he still saw some clues through the number of stoves left by the enemy on the ground.

In the places where the enemy had camped, the farther north there were, the fewer the number of stoves. From this, he concluded that the enemy must have lost their fighting spirit and the soldiers had fled, so he immediately increased the speed of the pursuit.

If at this time there are players in the China area who are proficient in Sun Tzu’s art of war, they will definitely tell the king of Northern Luzon that they must not continue to pursue them, otherwise the entire army will be destroyed.Because this is based on the principle of “being able to show what can’t be done but not using” as mentioned in Sun Tzu’s Art of War, and “to move it with profit and treat it with pawns” as mentioned in the “Strategy of War”. Application in actual combat.

The most famous example in history is the Battle of Maling in the Warring States Period of China.

In the Battle of Maling, Sun Bin used the tactics of reducing the stove to lure the enemy into the encirclement, and finally annihilated them all.

Although Sun Tzu’s art of war pays attention to the fictitious, the true and the false, but just looking at the discarded pots and pans and the fewer and fewer stoves on the ground, they are ninety-nine percent sure that this is absolute. It is to reduce the stove to lure the enemy.

But it is a pity that not everyone is familiar with Sun Tzu’s art of war in China player, let alone the indigenous people of the Philippines.

When the king of Northern Luzon led an army to chase down a hillside, with the sound of gongs and drums, countless soldiers of the Ice and Fire Corps suddenly rushed out from all directions.

They quickly surrounded the North Luzon Legion, and then arrows fell like a rain of arrows.

Although there was an elite swordsman regiment under the hands of the King of Northern Luzon, under the attack of the Ice and Fire Corps armed with stunning weapons, this swordsman regiment was quickly destroyed by the regiment.

When the king of Northern Luzon found that the situation was unsatisfactory and led his army to escape, a group of elves Wandering Xia had circled behind them.

Under the volley of the wizard Wandering Xia, the King of Northern Luzon was shot on the spot.

Although this battle was to lure the enemy to deepen, the true strength of the Ice and Fire Legion was higher than that of the Northern Luzon Legion, so after being ambushed, the Northern Luzon Legion was no opponent at all.

At the end of the battle, the 500,000 Northern Luzon Army Corps surrendered except for a few hundred thousand.

After losing the king and the main army, the Kingdom of Northern Luzon immediately became an open, undefended land. Wherever the Ice and Fire Corps went, all the cities fell under the wind.

In this way, the entire North Luzon region, except for the border city of Bayunbang, all other areas fell into the hands of the Ice and Fire Corps.

Bayunbang City is located at the junction of North Luzon and Central Luzon. It is the only way from Central Luzon to North Luzon. It is the gateway of North Luzon to the southern front and has important strategic significance.

After learning that Northern Luzon had been invaded by ice and fire pirates, the Middle Luzon Kingdom immediately assembled a large army and came to Bayunbang City.

But before they could take down Bayunbang City, the forward army of the Ice and Fire Corps also rushed over, sandwiching Bayunbang City between the two armies.

After learning that the Ice and Fire pirates had arrived, the Central Luzon army immediately stopped the attack on the city. Then they and the Ice and Fire Corps sent envoys to persuade the defenders in the city to surrender to their side.

Central Luzon offered very generous terms to the defenders in the city. They kept adding chips, but they were still unable to persuade the opponent.

After weighing the gains and losses, the defender in the city finally chose to surrender to the Ice and Fire Legion because he did not dare to refuse Bing Qilin.

Bing Qilin didn’t offer any favourable conditions to the guard in the city, he just asked the messenger to tell him.

If the other party dared to surrender to Central Luzon, everyone in the city would die on the day the city was broken, and the families of the soldiers in the city would also be buried with them.

Many of the defenders’ families in the city are in the rear, and they have now fallen into the hands of the Ice and Fire Corps, even the family of the defenders’ own. Therefore, even if the conditions given by the Luzon side are generous, he dare not ask each other surrender.

Because once he announced his surrender to Central Luzon, I am afraid that the soldiers who missed the family would immediately kill him.

So he had no choice but to surrender to the Ice and Fire Legion, because the opponent is a cruel pirate, and he can do anything.

When the northern city gate of Bayunbang was slowly opened, as the Ice and Fire Legion entered the city, the entire Northern Luzon fell into the hands of the Condor Empire.
