At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo returned to Huangdi City with Emperor Yan's army.
Huang Di led all the ministers to meet Yan Emperor and his party outside the city. Ouyang Shuo didn't join their greetings, he left the team and rushed to the camp in the west of the city.
On the way back, Ouyang Shuo had already received a notification from the system that another side mission [Reconnaissance] had been completed, and he was rewarded with 200 merit points and 800 battle contribution points.
Camp, camping tents.
"What's the situation with the Chiyou tribe?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
Siege Lion and Red Eagle looked at each other and said, "Let me tell you something. The player camp on the opposite side is divided into three parts, namely the Spring and Autumn League, the Iron and Blood League, and the Sanren League. Among them, the Spring and Autumn League is the most powerful. The troops under their name are comparable to ours, with more than 5,000 people. The Jagged Alliance is only supported by war wolves, which is weaker, with less than 2,000 people. The rest of the troops will be collected by the Scattered Alliance."
Ouyang Shuo didn't care too much about the player's camp. He continued to ask, "What about the situation of the Chi You tribe itself, have you ever found out about it?"
"Because of the city gate control, we couldn't enter Chiyou's village. Last night, taking advantage of the darkness, we kidnapped two patrolling soldiers from the Chiyou tribe outside the village. We just got some information from them. It is reported that Chiyou has eighty brothers in total. One person, each tall and powerful, with great strength. There are more than 80,000 warriors in the Chiyou tribe, and a large part of them already use bronze weapons. Compared with the stone weapons of the Huangdi tribe, they are much more advanced." Said the city lion.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, comparing the martial law in Huangdi City, it is not difficult to imagine the situation in Chi You Village. In fact, when he received the system prompt that the mission rewards were only the most basic rewards, he knew that the mission completion was not high. Ouyang Shuo stopped dwelling on this issue and told everyone what he had seen and heard in Yandi camp.
During this period, Bai Hua and Phoenix Prisoner Huang also received side quests in Huangdi City, not enough of which were the lowest level E-level side quests, and the quest rewards were limited.
During the chat, Bai Hua suddenly smiled and said, "Wuyi, guess what? This morning, Di Chen went to Huangdi City to ask for food, but was rejected."
"It deserves it." The siege lion said gloatingly from the side.
Ouyang Shuo's heart moved, and he asked, "Are the other players also starting to run out of food? They all know that we have military food pills, right?"
"That's right. As you expected, most of the players have ignored the problem of logistical support, thinking that the faction will solve it for them. Those twenty or so players who were willing to cooperate with us before also want us to borrow some military rations. Give them the pills, what do you think?" Bai Hua asked.
Ouyang Shuo chuckled and said, "It's very simple. Only players who agree to hand over the troops to our reorganization can get our relief. Otherwise, go hunting by yourself."
"In this way, will it be a little bit of taking advantage of the fire? I'm afraid that if such a disturbance occurs, they will become even more dissatisfied, which will be detrimental to our future cooperation." Bai Hua said hesitantly.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said, "The cooperation with them is a one-shot deal. After the battle is over, there is no need to expect to cooperate again. As long as there is no alliance, everything is empty."
"That's fine, I'll do as you say." Bai Hua made up her mind.
…
In the next four or five days, leaders of small and medium-sized tribes rushed to Yellow Emperor City to gather with their own troops. According to the size of the tribe, bring more or less troops. Generally speaking, the army size of a medium-sized tribe is around 2,000. The armies of small tribes are somewhat uneven, ranging from four to five hundred people to thousands of people. No matter which tribe it is, they basically do their best to fight as a whole. From this we can see how much pressure the Chiyou tribe put on the Yanhuang tribe alliance.
The coalition forces of these small and medium-sized tribes have a total of more than 40,000 people, all stationed on the south side of Huangdi City. As for the east side of Huangdi City, there are 30,000 troops of Yandi tribe stationed there. The two sides formed a corner, guarding Huangdi City and facing the threat of Chiyou Village.
During this time, Dichen and the others were busy hunting and hoarding food and grass all day long, so they didn't have the time and energy to go to the Yellow Emperor City to find side quests. On the contrary, Ouyang Shuo and his party took advantage of the right time and place to complete various side missions and gained a lot. Especially after the small and medium-sized tribes gather in the Yellow Emperor City, there is also a chance for them to receive side quests. Ouyang Shuo arranged for everyone to split up and take the first opportunity.
As for the Chi You camp, they are also limited by the problem of food and grass, and the problem is even more serious. On the Yellow Emperor City side, the city has been built for a long time anyway, so there are some food reserves, and players still have the opportunity to exchange some food and grass for emergencies. Chi You Village is different, it hasn't been built for long, and the grain it planted hasn't reached the harvest season yet, so I'm short of food, so where can I exchange the remaining grain for the players
At this time, Xunlong Dianxue gave full play to his nature of a quest madman, taking advantage of Chunshen Jun and the others who had no time to attend to him, frantically sweeping up the side quests of the Chi You camp, and gained more battle contribution than Ouyang Shuo, which is really impressive. people envy.
As a result, the entire campaign contribution list was almost dominated by members of the Shanhai League, and the others could only stare blankly. So far, the influence of the Shanhai League has become increasingly entrenched and difficult to shake.
[Ranking]-[Name]-[Battle Contribution Value]
[No. 1]: Xunlong acupuncture points - 7500 points
[No. 2]: Qiyue Wuyi - 4200 points
[No. 3]: Phoenix Prisoner - 2400 points
[4th place]: Birch - 2200 points
[No. 5]: Mulan Moon - 1800 points
[No. 6]: Siege Lion - 1400 points
[No. 7]: Sparks - 1000 points
[No. 8]: Xiongba -800 points
[No. 9]: Wolf Warriors - 600 points
[No. 10]: Di Chen -400 points
Huo Hua is the lord of Qingyun Town, who owns Chen Tang, a historical general. With Ouyang Shuo's help, things were going well. The most pitiful thing is Mr. Chunshen, as the leader of the Spring and Autumn League, he devoted all his attention to raising food and grass, and he didn't even make it into the top ten of the rankings.
During this period, Li Mingliang turned back smoothly. As expected, Nvwa sneaked out of Emperor Yan's camp and went to play in the Hutuo River. However, with Li Mingliang's secret care, he was able to return to Yandi Camp safely. After Emperor Yan heard the news, he proudly rushed to Ouyang Shuo's camp to express his gratitude to Ouyang Shuo.
…
On this day, Ouyang Shuo received a notice to go to the Royal Palace of Huangdi City to attend the military meeting. Ouyang Shuo's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the time for the decisive battle had arrived.
Walking into the main hall of the palace again, it was already full of people. Huangdi sat on the throne, and Yandi sat beside Huangdi, a little behind. Although Emperor Yan was defeated by the Yellow Emperor in the battle of Banquan and surrendered the position of leader of the tribal alliance, his status in the alliance is still very respected.
At the head of the main hall, the important ministers of the Yellow Emperor tribe sat on the left, Fenghou, Limu and others sat one by one, and the leaders of other medium-sized tribes sat on the right. As for small tribes, they are not eligible to participate in military discussions.
Seeing Ouyang Shuo walking in, everyone cast curious glances, many of them scornful. Ouyang Shuo ignored them, and sat in the last seat on the right, silent. On the other hand, Emperor Yan and Huang, who were sitting at the top, nodded slightly when they saw Ouyang Shuo coming in.
The Yellow Emperor looked around and said: "Masters, Chi You is cruel and greedy. He does not follow the way of a courtier, does not observe benevolence and righteousness, and leads his troops to conquer the west, intending to occupy the hinterland of the Central Plains and replace us with us. At such a critical time of life and death , we must work together to fight against powerful enemies. As the saying goes, those who gain the way will be helped more than those who have lost the way. With the help of you, I firmly believe that this battle will be won. Fengqing, you will be the enemy and us. introduce."
As the prime minister of the Yellow Emperor's tribe, Fenghou is actually less than thirty years old, and looks extremely young. Handsome and personable. This person is very intelligent, and he is really the number one think tank around the Yellow Emperor.
Fenghou stood up, saluted Emperor Yanhuang, and said: "Yes, Your Majesty. Excluding the alien army, our army has a total of 120,000 troops, which surpasses the Chiyou tribe in terms of numbers. The opponent has only 80,000 people. However, The bronze weapons of the Chiyou tribe are sharper than ours. In general, they are not comparable. In addition, Chiyou's army has come from afar, and logistics supplies are a problem. They are around the Chiyou village, plowing fields and growing food , thought to supply. Seeing to be the season when the grain is ripe, if the Chiyou tribe can harvest smoothly, then this battle will be protracted. Therefore, we must take the initiative to attack before the opponent’s grain harvest, and take advantage of the opponent’s lack of grain , destroy it in one fell swoop."
Huang Di nodded and said: "Ai Qing is right, what do you think?" Huang Di's gaze stayed on Emperor Yan for a while.
Emperor Yan understood, and said: "Second proposal!"
"Subject!" Li Mu and other officials from the Yellow Emperor's tribe said.
"Second!" said the leaders of a group of medium-sized tribes.
Huang Di was pleased and said with a smile: "Okay, then we will launch a general attack in three days' time. Do you have any suggestions?"
Ouyang Shuo was taken aback, he didn't expect the Yellow Emperor to ask for his opinion. Fortunately, Ouyang Shuo was no longer Amon under Wu, even if he was suddenly asked by a big man like Huang Di, he didn't panic in his heart, stood up calmly, bowed to Emperor Yan and Huang, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the military affairs are important. , I dare not speak nonsense. Only one, as a representative of the aliens, I still have a little understanding of the aliens. Although the aliens are insufficient in number, they are well-equipped and should not be underestimated. I suggest that when facing each other, the enemy and the enemy The alien legions on both sides are in opposite positions. It is the best policy to use the alien legion to confront the alien legion."
Huang Di was also taken aback. The reason why he asked the question just now was because Ouyang Shuo's previous performance had left a deep impression on him. Said: "This plan is very good, as far as you are concerned."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
