(Author's note: Chapter 2 will be updated at 9 pm.)
When the sun rose from the horizon once again, the Chiyou Tribe didn't flee this time. Instead, they chose to defend the valley.
Standing next to the Yellow Emperor's carriage, Ouyang Shuo looked at the Ominous Dawn Valley and sighed. In history, Chiyou was killed in the Ominous Dawn Valley. It seemed that this arduous pursuit was finally coming to an end.
"Feng Qing, Chiyou didn't retreat this time. Instead, he chose to defend. Is there a trap?" The Yellow Emperor still trusted his Prime Minister, Feng Hou.
Feng Hou shook his head. "Your Majesty, the Hutuo River is further south. I think Chi You must have guessed that he won't be able to cross the Hutuo River under our noses. That's why he wants to fight us to the death in the valley. "As expected of the Wind Empress, she had guessed Chi You's thoughts perfectly.
The Yellow Emperor was delighted. "Good. Chiyou is seeking his own death." No wonder the Yellow Emperor was so excited. There wasn't much food left in the army. If this continued, his army would collapse before the Chiyou Tribe surrendered. Fortunately, the Hutuo River cut off Chiyou's last chance of survival.
"Order the army to cook. Once we're full, launch an all-out attack. Take down the Ominous Dawn Valley and kill Chiyou," the Yellow Emperor said excitedly.
"Understood!"
There was no suspense in this battle. The difference in numbers between the two sides was too great. The Yellow Flame Tribe's allied army still had 80,000 people left. Apart from that, there were 4,000 mutants. The Chiyou Tribe had less than 8,000 people. As for the mutants, there wasn't a single one.
Ouyang Shuo didn't know if Dragon Seeking Acupuncture had made the right choice. Before the battle, Dragon Seeking Acupuncture had used the advantage of the ration pills to fully display his mission maniac nature. He swept through all the side missions of the Chiyou Tribe and earned 7500 contribution points. After the battle, Dragon Seeking Acupuncture's 200 people couldn't cause any trouble and left the battlefield early.
At 9 am, the allied army officially launched their attack on the Ominous Dawn Valley.
The Ominous Dawn Valley was like a big pocket. It was narrow on the outside and wide on the inside. The narrow entrance of the valley couldn't spread out troops on a large scale. As such, even though the Yan Huang allied army had a large number of troops, they were limited by the terrain and had no choice but to attack wave after wave.
In order to buy enough time for the seed troops to retreat in advance, Chi You arranged all eight thousand people at the entrance of the valley, leaving no way out for himself. At the same time, in order to boost morale, Chi You personally went into battle.
Just like that, what was supposed to be a decisive battle in the wilderness had turned into a stormy battle.
The Yan Huang allied forces had the absolute advantage in numbers, and they attacked in batches. Feng Hou divided the coalition army into eight teams of ten thousand men. Apart from leaving one team as a reserve, the remaining seven teams took turns to attack. After the previous team of ten thousand was exhausted, they would immediately replace it with another team of ten thousand. The ten thousand troops that had been withdrawn would take their place after sufficient rest and reorganization, and the cycle would repeat.
On the other hand, the Chiyou Tribe was not so lucky. They had to endure a long battle. However, the Chiyou Tribe was not without advantages. Firstly, the soldiers were determined to die, and their will to resist was extremely firm. Secondly, in a situation where both sides had the same number of troops, be it in terms of morale or the level of weapons, the defending side was stronger than the attacking side. As a result, the Chiyou Tribe managed to hold on tenaciously.
The Yellow Emperor grew anxious at the lack of success. At this rate, even if they could destroy the Chiyou Tribe in the end, their side would suffer heavy casualties. This was something the Yellow Emperor did not want to see.
The Yellow Emperor looked around and said in a low voice, "Does anyone have a good plan for the current situation?"
Ouyang Shuo's heart stirred. He bowed to the Yellow Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the mutant army requests for battle!"
The Yellow Emperor's eyes narrowed. "How can there be no clothes? Are you confident? "
"As long as Your Majesty agrees to two conditions, I promise to take down the remnants of the Chiyou Tribe in one fell swoop. If I fail, I am willing to accept military punishment. "Ouyang Shuo was also unequivocal.
The Yellow Emperor was shaken, finally somewhat convinced. He loudly said, "Very well. What are your conditions? As long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you. "
Ouyang Shuo nodded. "Your Majesty, you also know that the mutant armies are not unified and difficult to command. Thus, my first condition is for Your Majesty to issue a military mission and have all the mutants submit their troops to my command. "
"Very well, I agree." The Yellow Emperor did not hesitate.
As soon as he finished speaking, a system notification sounded in Ouyang Shuo's ears.
"Campaign Announcement: The Yellow Emperor has issued a campaign mission [Decisive Battle]. Mission requirements: All players in the Yellow Emperor's camp agree to submit their troops to the mutant representative, How Can there be No Clothes. Mission rewards: 2n achievement points, 4n contribution points, of which n is the number of troops submitted. "
Taking the lowest 100 people as an example, just the mission reward alone would be 200 Merit Points and 800 Contribution Points. Apart from that, the contribution points obtained from killing these troops would also be recorded under the names of their lords. No player would be able to resist this kind of naked temptation. Even Di Chen was reluctant to give up on the mission rewards. He gritted his teeth and accepted the mission, obediently handing over command of his troops.
Ouyang Shuo continued, "Your Majesty, just relying on four thousand mutant soldiers is indeed a bit weak. Thus, my second condition is that Your Majesty can arrange for Generals Li Mu and Changxian to lead five thousand elites and cooperate with the mutant army to launch an attack. "
After hearing Ouyang Shuo's conditions, the Yellow Emperor was even more confident in Ouyang Shuo's plan. He nodded and said, "Very well. It seems that you really aren't being impulsive. I agree."
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty." Ouyang Shuo knew that as long as he won this battle, he would have the absolute advantage. The battle of Zhuolu was already in his bag.
Ouyang Shuo turned around and returned to the mutant army. He gathered Bai Hua and the others and began assigning tasks.
"It will be difficult for the cavalry to perform well in this battle. Thus, the main force will be the saber and shield soldiers and archers. I suggest that General Shi Wansui be the main general and General Mu Guiying be the deputy general. What do you all think? "
Bai Hua and the others trusted Ouyang Shuo more and more, so they naturally listened to him.
After obtaining the consent of his allies, Ouyang Shuo began to organize the mutant army. In his plan, he had to ensure that Shi Wansui and Mu Guiying had absolute command. Thus, not only would Ouyang Shuo not participate, but the other players and generals would also not be considered.
Fortunately, the remaining mutants were mostly allies of the Alliance of Mountains and Seas. Di Chen's Handan Alliance only had 500 people left, which was the most severe loss. As for the unaffiliated players, there were only 200 people left. The remaining 3,300 people were all allies of the Alliance of Mountains and Seas.
Of the 3,300 people, the Alliance of Mountains and Seas had 2,000 core soldiers, and only 1,600 were left. With more than half of the mutant army dead, it was already very rare for the Alliance of Mountains and Seas to maintain a casualty rate of 20%. Among the 400 people who died, most of them were saber and shield soldiers and cavalry. As for the archers, they were almost unharmed.
In the end, out of the 4,000 mutant army, there were 2,000 saber and shield soldiers, 1,500 archers, and 500 cavalry. The cavalry had experienced two assaults and suffered heavy losses. In this battle, Ouyang Shuo directly excluded them.
After the mutant army was organized, Li Mu and Chang Xian had also chosen their troops, each leading 2,500 people. Under Ju Shou's suggestion, the 2,000 saber and shield soldiers were placed at the forefront of the army. They would act as a stabilizing force and fight against Chi You head-on. One thousand and five hundred archers acted as the rear army, arranged behind the blade and shield soldiers to provide fire support. Li Mu's troops were positioned on the right flank. Chang Xian's troops were positioned on the left flank.
After the arrangements were made, the 10,000 soldiers retreated as per usual. Ouyang Shuo did not intend to give the Chi You Tribe any time to rest, so he directly sent his trump card to the front.
Before setting off, Ouyang Shuo found Shi Wansui alone and had a private talk with him for a few minutes. Even Bai Hua and the others did not know the content of the conversation.
The final battle had finally arrived.
The exhausted Chi You Tribe trembled when they saw the saber and shield soldiers at the front. The well-equipped saber and shield soldiers made up for the gap in strength and morale. This was especially true for the few companies at the front. This time, Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate to send the three infantry companies from the Shanhai Town to the front of the army. The elite Mountain Barbarian warriors did not seem to be at a disadvantage when facing the Jiuli Tribe's warriors.
As for Chi You himself, he was taken on by Shi Wansui. It could be called a trump card against a trump card.
Seeing Ouyang Shuo's arrangement, the other players did not dare to say anything out of line. Ouyang Shuo knew that if he wanted to win the respect of the players, he had to stand up at the critical moment and learn to be at a disadvantage.
The archers at the back were the first to attack.
Under the precise command of Mu Guiying, the one thousand and five hundred archers showed the Chiyou Tribe the great power of the powerful crossbows from the future generations. They had a super long shooting range and a super strong penetrating power. The defenseless Chiyou Tribe was harvested row by row like wheat.
The front was blocked by the saber and shield soldiers led by Shi Wansui. They could not advance even an inch. The left and right flanks were blocked by the elite troops led by Li Mu and Chang Xian. The helpless Chi You could only watch helplessly as his men fell under the crossbows of the Mutants. Before the Jiuli Tribe's warriors fell, they looked at the arrows stuck in their chests, their eyes full of confusion.
Even Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang, who were standing in the distance, could not help but tremble when they saw the power of the Mutant Army. Emperor Huang sighed in his heart. He had underestimated these Mutants. Fortunately, they did not belong to this world. Otherwise, it would be hard to say who would be the leader. (To be continued.)
