At two in the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo followed the Yan Emperor's army back to Yellow Emperor City.
The Yellow Emperor led the ministers to welcome the Yan Emperor's party outside the city. Ouyang Shuo did not join in their greetings. He left the group and headed to the camp on the west side of the city.
On the way back, Ouyang Shuo received a system notification that another side quest [Investigation] had been completed. He received 200 achievement points and 800 contribution points.
Camp, tent.
"What's the situation with the Chiyou Tribe?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
The Siege Lion and the Red Eagle looked at each other and said, "Let me explain. The opposing player camp is divided into three groups: the Spring and Autumn Alliance, the Iron Blood Alliance, and the Scattered People Alliance. Among them, the Spring and Autumn Alliance is the strongest. They have about five thousand people under their command, similar to ours. The Iron Blood Alliance is supported by wolves and is slightly weaker. They have less than two thousand people. The remaining troops have been taken in by the Scattered People Alliance. "
Ouyang Shuo was not too concerned about the player camp. He asked, "What about the Chiyou Tribe? Did you find out?"
"Because of the city gate control, we could not enter the Chiyou Stronghold. Last night, under the cover of night, we kidnapped two patrolling soldiers of the Chi You Tribe outside the village and obtained some information from them. It is said that the Chiyou Tribe has eighty-one brothers. All of them are tall and strong. The Chiyou Tribe had a total of more than eighty thousand warriors, and a large portion of them were already using bronze weapons. Compared to the Yellow Emperor Tribe's stone tools, they are much more advanced, "the Siege Lion said.
Ouyang Shuo nodded. Compared to the martial law in Yellow Emperor City, it was not hard to imagine the situation in the Chiyou Stronghold. In fact, when he received the system notification that the mission reward was only the most basic reward, he knew that the mission completion rate was not high. Ouyang Shuo did not dwell on this issue. He told everyone about what he saw in the Yan Emperor's camp.
During this time, Bai Hua and Feng Qiuhuang also received side quests in Yellow Emperor City. However, they were the lowest E-rank side quests with limited rewards.
As they chatted, Bai Hua suddenly said with a smile, "Wuyi, guess what? This morning, Di Chen went to Yellow Emperor City to ask for food but was rejected. "
"Serves him right," the Siege Lion said gloatingly.
Ouyang Shuo's heart stirred. He asked, "Are the other players also starting to run out of food? They all know that we have military ration pills, right? "
"That's right. It's just as you expected. Most players have neglected the problem of logistics, thinking that the faction will solve it for them. The twenty or so players who were willing to cooperate with us also want us to lend them some Military Ration Pills. What do you think? "White Birch asked.
Ouyang Shuo chuckled and said, "It's very simple. Only the players who agree to hand over their troops to us will be able to receive our help. Otherwise, you can go hunt by yourself. "
"Wouldn't this be akin to looting a burning house? I'm afraid that if we do this, they will be even more unconvinced, which will be detrimental to our future cooperation, "Bai Hua said hesitantly.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said, "Cooperating with them is a one-time deal to begin with. Once the battle was over, there was no hope of working together again. As long as we don't form an alliance, everything else is meaningless. "
"Alright, we'll do as you say." Bai Hua made up his mind.
…
Over the next four or five days, leaders of small and medium-sized tribes led their troops to Yellow Emperor City. Depending on the size of the tribe, the number of troops they brought would vary. Generally speaking, the number of troops of a medium-sized tribe would be around two thousand. The troops of small tribes were somewhat uneven, ranging from four to five hundred to thousands of people. No matter which tribe it was, they were basically fighting with all their might. From this, it could be seen how much pressure the Chiyou Tribe brought to the Yan Huang Tribal Alliance.
The allied forces of these small and medium-sized tribes totaled more than forty thousand people, all stationed on the south side of Yellow Emperor City. As for the east side of Yellow Emperor City, the thirty thousand troops of the Yan Emperor Tribe were stationed. The two sides formed a triangular formation to protect Yellow Emperor City and face the threat of the Chiyou Stronghold.
During this period of time, Di Chen and the others were busy hunting and stockpiling rations. They simply didn't have the time or energy to go to Yellow Emperor City to find side missions. On the other hand, Ouyang Shuo and the others had the advantage of good timing and geographical location. They continuously completed all kinds of side missions and gained quite a lot of rewards. Especially after the small and medium-sized tribes had gathered in Yellow Emperor City, they also had the opportunity to receive side missions. Ouyang Shuo arranged for everyone to split up and take the initiative.
As for the Chiyou Camp, they were also limited by the problem of rations, and the problem was even more serious. The Yellow Emperor City had been built for a long time, so they had some rations in reserve. The players had the opportunity to exchange for some rations in case of emergency. The Chiyou Stronghold was different. It had not been built for a long time, and the crops they planted had not yet reached harvest season. They were already short of rations, so how could they have any surplus to exchange for the players? This caused Lord Chunshen and the others quite a bit of trouble.
At this time, the Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Points fully displayed his mission maniac nature. While Lord Chunshen and the others were busy, he crazily swept through the side missions of the Chiyou Camp. The amount of battle contribution points he obtained was even more than Ouyang Shuo, which was really enviable.
As a result, the entire battle contribution ranking was dominated by the members of the Alliance of Mountains and Seas. The others could only stare helplessly. At this point, the influence of the Alliance of Mountains and Seas was deeply rooted, and it was hard to shake it.
[Rank] — [Name] — [Battle Contribution Points]
[1st place]: Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Points — 7500 points
[2nd place]: How Do You Have No Clothes — 4200 points
[3rd place]: Feng Qiuhuang — 2400 points
[4th place]: Bai Hua — 2200 points
[5th place]: Magnolia Moon — 1800 points
[6th place]: Siege Lion — 1400 points
[7th place]: Sparkle — 1000 points
[8th place]: Xiong Ba — 800 points
[9th place]: Wolf Warrior — 600 points
[10th place]: Emperor Chen — 400 points
Sparkle was the leader of Qingyun Town, and had a historical general, Chen Tang. With Ouyang Shuo's financial support, he had been doing very well. The most pitiful was Lord Chunshen. As the leader of the Spring and Autumn Alliance, he had spent all his money on gathering rations, and had not even entered the top ten rankings.
During this time, Li Mingliang had successfully returned. The girl had indeed sneaked out of the Yan Emperor's camp to play in the Hutuo River. However, with Li Mingliang secretly watching over her, she had safely returned to the Yan Emperor's camp. When the Yan Emperor heard the news, he proudly rushed to Ouyang Shuo's camp to express his gratitude.
...
On this day, Ouyang Shuo received a notice to go to the Yellow Emperor's palace to participate in a military conference. Ouyang Shuo's heart skipped a beat. He knew that the day of the final battle had arrived.
When he entered the main hall of the palace, it was already filled with people. The Yellow Emperor was sitting on the throne, and the Yan Emperor was sitting beside him, slightly behind him. Although the Yan Emperor had been defeated by the Yellow Emperor at the Battle of Lake Spring, and had given up his position as the leader of the tribal alliance, his position in the alliance was still very respected.
On the left side of the main hall sat the important officials of the Yellow Emperor's tribe, such as the Wind Empress and Li Mu. On the right side sat the leaders of the other medium-sized tribes. As for the small tribes, they were not qualified to participate in the military conference.
Seeing Ouyang Shuo walk in, everyone looked at him curiously. There was no lack of contempt in their eyes. Ouyang Shuo ignored them and sat on the last seat on the right side, remaining silent. However, the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor, who were sitting on the upper seats, nodded slightly in acknowledgment when they saw Ouyang Shuo enter.
The Yellow Emperor looked around and said, "My ministers, Chiyou is cruel and greedy. He does not follow the rules of an official, nor does he abide by justice. He led his troops on a western expedition, intending to occupy the central plains and replace us. In such a critical moment, we must work together to resist the strong enemy. As the saying goes, a just cause enjoys much support, while an unjust one finds little support. With your help, I firmly believe that we will win this battle. Feng Qing, introduce us to the situation of the enemy. "
As the prime minister of the Yellow Emperor's tribe, the Wind Empress was actually less than thirty years old. He was handsome and had an elegant demeanor. He was extremely intelligent and was truly the number one strategist by the Yellow Emperor's side.
The Wind Empress stood up and bowed to the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor. "Yes, Your Majesty. Excluding the mutant troops, we have a total of 120,000 soldiers. In terms of numbers, we surpass the Chiyou tribe. The enemy only has 80,000 people. However, the bronze weapons of the Chiyou tribe are sharper than ours. Overall, we are evenly matched. In addition, the Chiyou army has come from afar, so logistical supplies are a problem. They are plowing the fields and growing food around the Chiyou Village. It's almost time for the grain to ripen. If we let the Chiyou tribe harvest smoothly, then this battle will be long. Therefore, we must take the initiative to attack before the enemy harvests their grain. We must take advantage of their lack of food to destroy them in one fell swoop. "
The Yellow Emperor nodded: "My beloved subject's words make sense. What do you all think?" The Yellow Emperor's gaze paused on the Flame Emperor.
The Flame Emperor understood and said, "I second it!"
"I second it!" Li Mu and the other officials of the Yellow Emperor's tribe said.
"I second it!" The leaders of the medium-sized tribes said.
The Yellow Emperor was pleased and said with a smile, "Good. Then we'll launch the attack in three days. Do you have any suggestions? "
Ouyang Shuo was startled. He didn't expect the Yellow Emperor to ask for his opinion. Fortunately, Ouyang Shuo was no longer an ignorant person. He didn't panic even when a big shot like the Yellow Emperor suddenly asked him. He calmly stood up and bowed to the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor. He slowly said, "Your Majesty, I don't dare to speak carelessly about military matters. There is only one condition. As the representative of the mutants, I have some understanding of the mutant armies. Although the mutant armies are lacking in numbers, they are well-equipped and not to be underestimated. I suggest that during the battle, the mutant armies of both sides should be placed opposite each other. Using the mutant armies to fight against the mutant armies is the best strategy. "
The Yellow Emperor was also startled. The reason why he asked was because Ouyang Shuo's previous performance left a deep impression on him. He just wanted to give it a try. He didn't expect that Ouyang Shuo would really have a countermeasure. He couldn't help but be happy and said, "This is a good plan. I'll do as you say."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
