On August 14th, at nine o'clock in the morning, the system announcement sounded on time.
"System Announcement: In 1044 BC, when the main force of the Shang army was far in the east and the court song was empty, King Wu of Zhou's entire army came out in full force. He joined the princes at Mengjin Ferry and issued a call for business. Di Xin was defeated and killed. The second epic battle—the Battle of Muye, officially begins!"
Ouyang Shuo's title is a first-class earl, and he can lead three thousand troops.
The troops from Shanhai County included the first and second battalions of the Pioneer Battalion, the first, second and third battalions of the Mixed Brigade, the lord's personal guards, and four squadrons of the Yushui County Cavalry Battalion. Except for the two heavy infantry battalions of the mixed brigade, the remaining 2,000 people are all cavalry, all riding green clam horses.
The first battalion of the Pioneer Battalion and the Lord's Guards are real heavy cavalry, equipped with Mingguang armor, Tang sword, horse lance and compound bow, and are currently the world's top heavy cavalry. As for the heavy infantry battalion, it was also equipped with infantry armor, Tang knives and shields under the rush of Jiafang Division.
After testing the conditions for participating in the battle and determining the number of participants, Ouyang Shuo began to choose the camp.
"System prompt: The Battle of Muye is divided into the Zhou Dynasty camp and the Shang Dynasty camp. Players are requested to choose a camp! Special reminder: If you choose a historical defeat camp and reverse the historical ending, players in this camp will receive extra generous rewards. Please choose carefully !"
"Choose the Shang Dynasty camp!"
"System prompt: Faction selection complete!"
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi for starting the battle teleportation. The number of teleporters is 3,000, and the teleportation fee of 3,000 gold coins for the player Qiyue Wuyi will be deducted."
"System prompt: Teleportation begins!"
After a short period of ecstasy, Ouyang Shuo and his party appeared in the Shang Dynasty.
"System prompt: Welcome to the player Qiyue Wuyi coming to the headquarters of the Shang Dynasty faction - Ducheng Chaoge."
Compared with the rudimentary Huangdi City during the Zhuolu War, Chaoge is already a very prosperous central city. The treatment of the alien troops is also completely different from the battle of Zhuolu.
After registering in the city, the court of the Shang Dynasty has set up a large military camp in the western suburbs outside the city, which is specially used to accommodate alien troops and supply food and grass, so players do not need to prepare food and grass by themselves.
"wood!"
Ouyang Shuo turned around and was pleasantly surprised to see a heroic woman standing not far behind him, dressed as a knight. At this moment, the young woman was waving to herself with excitement on her face.
In the game, Song Jia is the only one who can call Ouyang Shuo this way.
This was the first time Ouyang Shuo saw Song Jia in the game. He didn't expect that Song Jia's eyesight was so good that she could recognize him at a glance in the crowd.
Compared with the lady in reality, Song Jia dressed as a knight is more charming.
Ouyang Shuo suppressed the excitement in his heart, handed the horse to Wang Feng, stepped forward quickly, took Song Jia's tender little hand, and said with emotion: "It's great, I finally met you. I've been waiting for this day for a long time .”
The day before the start of the battle, Ouyang Shuo wrote to Song Jia, informing him of his choice of faction, hoping that she could join the Tianshuang Town troops to participate in the Battle of Muye.
Song Jia blushed, shook off Ouyang Shuo's hand, and said shyly, "Idiot, there is someone beside me."
Ouyang Shuo fainted and held hands in reality, but he didn't see her shy. Stumped, a woman will really be infected by the ancient atmosphere when she enters the game. Just like Bai Hua and Feng Prison Huang, each of them, let alone how ladylike they are.
Fortunately, at this time, Song Wen on the side helped him out, cupped his fists, and said with a smile, "I think this is Brother Ouyang. I am Song Jia's brother Song Wen, and I have admired him for a long time." A young man dressed as a general introduced, "This is the second brother, Song Wu."
Ouyang Shuo quickly cupped his fists, "Brother Song!" Then he nodded to Wu Song.
After exchanging pleasantries, Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to learn about the troops in Tianshuang Town. Song Wen's title is only a second-class viscount, leading two hundred soldiers, all of whom are ordinary sword and shield soldiers, led by Song Wu.
After all Song Wu was young and a military commander, when he saw the bright light armor on Ouyang Shuo's body, he was almost drooling. Seeing his younger brother's worthless appearance, Song Wen felt a little ashamed.
Ouyang Shuo didn't care, he turned around and gestured towards Wang Feng who was behind him. Wang Feng agreed, and led his personal guards to bring three elite-level green clam horses.
Long before departure, Ouyang Shuo was thinking about what kind of meeting gift he should prepare for the Song brothers. Anyway, this is also my future brother-in-law, so don't take it lightly.
It just so happened that among the 5,000 green clam horses seized in the wildfire operation, there were 20 elite green clam horses alone. In addition to allocating one horse to each battalion officer in the Shanhai County Army, there are still ten horses left. Ouyang Shuo decided to be cruel and gave the two brothers a horse. As for the other horse, it was naturally prepared for Song Jia.
In addition, Ouyang Shuo also prepared a set of Sergeant Mingguang Armor for Song Wu.
Seeing the gift Ouyang Shuo handed over, Song Wen was a little surprised, "This is it?"
It is no secret that the green clam horse and Mingguang armor in Shanhai County were exposed by the players during the battle for the deer. It was precisely because of this that Song Wen felt that the gift was too expensive.
"This is my heart, please accept it!" Ouyang Shuo clasped his fists again.
Song Wu couldn't bear it any longer, took the Mingguang armor, put it in his storage bag, and then took the reins of the green clam horse from the personal guards, and was about to ride it, but was scolded by Song Wen: "Second brother, Don't be rude."
Song Wen turned his head to look at Ouyang Shuo, and said, "Brother Ouyang has a heart, please forgive me for being ignorant."
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, "Brother Song doesn't have to be like that, I think Brother Wu is pretty good. Speaking of which, I'm also a general, and I understand the general's obsession with horses very well. This is true temperament."
Song Wen nodded, and his understanding of Ouyang Shuo deepened. Just a few short conversations between the two, Song Wen found that Ouyang Shuo had a calm demeanor, neither humble nor overbearing, he was indeed very human, no wonder he was able to achieve such an earth-shattering career in the game. The younger sister's vision is really accurate.
Similarly, Ouyang Shuo had a preliminary impression of Song Wen. Indeed, as Song Jia said in his heart, he is a modest gentleman, and he can't find a trace of a businessman's philistine in him.
"Okay, you two, don't drop your book bags here." Song Jia interrupted their conversation.
Ouyang Shuo and Song Wen looked at each other with wry smiles.
Ouyang Shuo began to look for members of the Mountain Sea League and join them.
Fortunately, everyone was teleported to one place, and the time was about the same, so they got together soon.
Among the members of the Shan Hai League, Bai Hua and Feng Prison Huang are both second-class earls with one thousand troops; Xunlong Dianxue is the third-class earl with five hundred troops; Mulanyue and Siege Lion are both first-class viscounts with three hundred troops . The strength of the Shanhai League, plus the troops of Tianshan Town, is 6,300 people in total, which is three times higher than that of the Battle of the Deer.
Ouyang Shuo introduced the three Song brothers and sisters to the members of the Shanhai League.
Because it was the first time they met, they were a little unfamiliar with each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to suggest that he should leave the city now and settle in the military camp outside the city. As for finding out which well-known lords are in the Shang Dynasty camp, there is no need to rush for a while.
Anyway, in the end all the lords will meet at the western suburbs barracks.
As soon as they walked out of the city gate, the battle announcement sounded.
"Battle Announcement: In the Battle of Muye, a total of 805 lords participated, with a total force of 102,000. The Zhou Dynasty camp had 480 lords with a total force of 60,000; the Shang Dynasty camp had 325 lords with a total force of 42,000."
Sure enough, not only nearly 200 lords chose to give up participating in the battle, but also the number of players who chose the Zhou camp was much higher than that of the Shang camp. One player learned the lesson of the battle for the deer, and did not dare to easily choose the losing side. The two Zhou Dynasty camps have holy-level historical figures like Lu Shang, waiting for players to subdue them.
Lu Shang, also known as Jiang Shang, styled Ziya.
Jiang Ziya is the founder of the Qi State, King Wen of Zhou devoted himself to business, the chief strategist and supreme military commander of the King Wu, the founding father of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the founder of Qi Culture. with politicians. The classics of all dynasties recognized his historical status, Confucianism, Legalism, military, and vertical and horizontal schools all pursued him as a figure in their own family, and was revered as "the master of a hundred schools of thought".
Speaking of which, Ouyang Shuo still has a relationship with Jiang Shang. The military book "Six Secret Teachings" he obtained before was written by Jiang Shang, and Jiang Shang is also known as the ancestor of strategists and strategists.
Such a character, wanting to easily subdue him is simply wishful thinking.
According to the rules summed up by previous players, the most critical point in order to subdue historical figures is to grasp the weaknesses or needs of historical figures.
For example, the weakness of Huang Zhong, a general of the Three Kingdoms, is his son Huang Xu. If anyone can cure Huang Xu's illness and satisfy Huang Zhong's greatest needs or wishes, then it will be easy to conquer Huang Zhong.
On the other hand, Jiang Shang, in the Zhou Dynasty, was already an extremely human minister, not to mention satisfying his needs, but finding his needs is as difficult as reaching the sky.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo didn't expect anything, and directly gave up the Zhou Dynasty camp.
"Battle Announcement: Because the Shang Dynasty camp is weaker than the Zhou Dynasty camp, according to the battle rules, the Shang Dynasty camp will automatically receive a 25% increase in troop defense."
Because the game simulates a real vital kill mode, there is no concept of blood volume. Therefore, the so-called enhancement of troop defense refers to improving the toughness of troop armor (armor or leather armor), thereby indirectly improving the troop's defense capability.
"Battle Announcement: According to the test results of title and merit, the representative of the alien from the Zhou Dynasty camp is Chun Shenjun, the second-class earl. The representative of the alien from the Shang Dynasty camp is Qiyue Wuyi, the first-class earl."
Ouyang Shuo and Chun Shenjun were still the representatives of the aliens in the Battle of Muye. The difference is that the two of them just happened to fall apart in the choice of camp.
