Just as Zhao Kuo was leading his army to attack Ying Bao's camp, Bai Qi was also leading his army to attack the old pass.
Two hundred thousand soldiers surrounded the southern side of the old pass.
With the help of the Three Bows Eight Bulls Bed Crossbows brought by Ouyang Shuo and Mu Lanyue, countless Treading Arrows were nailed to the walls of the old pass. Countless Qin soldiers stepped on the arrows and charged up the wall like a tidal wave.
The army of Zhao Zhuang launched a ferocious counterattack. Countless rolling logs and huge rocks came pouring down from the top of the wall like sand, crushing wave after wave of Qin soldiers into meat paste. Fierce Fire Oil Tanks formed a line of defense, burning the enemies into charcoal. Their corpses fell to the ground and were immediately crushed.
Other than that, the Zhao army made use of the advantage of being in a higher position to launch a never-ending rain of arrows.
Similarly, the Qin army was not afraid of death. They used the corpses to fill the trenches and depleted the enemy's supplies. At the foot of the wall, the corpses of the Qin soldiers were piled up two meters high.
The soldiers stepped on the corpses of their comrades and continued to climb up.
Just as the two sides were engaged in a fierce battle, the Lord of Martial Peace, Bai Qi, used the same trick. He ordered his men to push dozens of ten-feet-tall cloud towers to the foot of the old pass. The vanguard team stood on the cloud towers and with the help of parachutes, they descended directly into the old pass and gave the Zhao army a fatal blow.
The surprise attack of the vanguard team was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The Qin army worked together from the inside and outside, and the old pass finally fell. The remaining Zhao Zhuang army in the stronghold had no choice but to raise their hands and surrender.
The fall of the old pass marked the end of the Battle of Changping.
When the Zhao army, who were attacking Ying Bao's camp with all their might, learned that their rear pass had fallen, they no longer had the desire to attack. Their eyes were filled with despair.
After some struggle, Zhao Kuo surrendered after the Zhao Zhuang army.
According to Zhao Kuo's nature, he would rather die than surrender. Moreover, according to the mutant Di Chen and the others, the Qin army had killed all the surrendered soldiers in history, leaving no way for them to survive.
However, history had been changed, and he, Zhao Kuo, was about to follow the mutant lord Lord Chunshen on another journey. In another world, he would continue to compete with Bai Qi.
At this point, the Battle of Changping had officially ended. The State of Zhao's camp had not been able to turn the tables, and the announcement of the campaign was made in a timely manner.
Perhaps, even Gaia could not bear to see the scene of the 200,000 surrendered Zhao soldiers being killed. The battle came to an abrupt end when Zhao Kuo surrendered, leaving a silhouette in history for later generations to comment on.
"Battle Campaign Announcement: The Battle of Changping has officially ended. Additional contribution points will be calculated based on the players' contribution to the Battle Campaign and their contribution to the camp."
In this battle, Ouyang Shuo was no longer alone. Di Chen, Zhan Lang, Lord Chunshen, and the others had all played a crucial role in pushing forward the course of the battle. They had all received large amounts of contribution points.
The sound of the System's notification rang in Ouyang Shuo's ears.
"System Notification: Player Not Wearing Clothes, the representative of the State of Qin's Mutant Faction, has led the Shanhai County Iron Cavalry to numerous military exploits, offering a plan to destroy the Chariot Circle Formation. For all these, you will be rewarded with an additional 20,000 contribution points. "
Compared to the previous two battles, Gaia's evaluation of Ouyang Shuo had shrunk greatly. Even the rhetoric of "great credit" was omitted. The additional combat contribution points awarded had also reached its lowest point.
Even so, with the 10,000 Iron Cavalry killing enemies on the battlefield, his contribution points were still at the top of the list.
[Rank] – [Name] – [Contribution Points]
[1st]: Not Wearing Clothes – 350,000 points
[2nd]: Di Chen – 150,000 points
[3rd]: Bai Hua – 120,000 points
[4th]: Zhan Lang – 100,000 points
[5th]: Feng Qiuhuang – 85,000 points
[6th]: Lord Chunshen – 55,000 points
[7th]: Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point – 50,000 points
[8th]: Mu Lanyue – 45,000 points
[9th]: Xiong Ba – 45,000 points
[10th]: Feng Qingyang – 25,000 points
Unsurprisingly, the Contribution Points Rankings were all occupied by members of the Yan Huang Alliance and the Shanhai Alliance. Apart from Ouyang Shuo, the two sides were evenly matched.
With such a battle record, the Yan Huang Alliance had lost in glory.
Di Chen, Lord Chunshen, and the others had been promoted to First Class Earls with the contribution points they had earned. They had finally cleared the obstacle to Third Class County. The next step was to prepare for County Cities.
Unfortunately, Bai Hua and Feng Qiuhuang had not been able to successfully become Third Class Marquises through the Battle of Zhangping. The contest between the two Marquises had to continue until the next battle.
With the increase in the ranks of the Lords, the number of soldiers they had increased dramatically. The main way to earn contribution points had changed from being rewarded to killing enemies on the battlefield.
For example, in this battle, the Shanhai County army was twenty times more than the ordinary Lords, and ten times more than Di Chen and the others. The efficiency of earning contribution points from both sides was naturally not on the same level.
Therefore, although Di Chen and the others had taken the initiative and made great efforts to plan, they were still unable to compete with Ouyang Shuo on the Contribution Points Rankings.
There were advantages and disadvantages.
The price paid by such a large army was also heavy. After the battle, the 10,000 elite cavalry of the Shanhai County army was reduced to 6,500 people. Over 3,000 soldiers were completely buried in Changping Valley.
It was not only Ouyang Shuo, but the other Lords' troops had also suffered heavy losses. The two sides had a total of 70,000 Inhumans, but less than 30,000 people had returned alive.
Ouyang Shuo vaguely remembered that during the upcoming anniversary celebration, Gaia would conduct a small-scale update to the game, which included more settings for the battle.
The Lords had spent a large amount of money and troops, so it would not be worth it if they only obtained some contribution points. Gaia would introduce more tempting rewards to further stimulate the Lords' enthusiasm for participating in the battle.
Ouyang Shuo had obtained a total of 39,000 contribution points, bringing his total to 129,500. He had been promoted to a Second Class Marquis, but he was still far from the 204,800 contribution points required to become a First Class Marquis.
Ouyang Shuo was not satisfied with the promotion of his Marquis rank. What Ouyang Shuo was concerned about was what rewards the Qin Kingdom would give him for taking first place.
In the Battle of Zhuolu, Ouyang Shuo had obtained the Yellow Thearch's Internal Canon and the Savage Beast Taming Art. In the Battle of Muye, he had obtained the Shang Cauldron and the Incense Essence Pill. The former greatly increased his personal strength, while the latter greatly increased his territory's strength.
As usual, Bai Hua and the others returned to the main map first, while Ouyang Shuo stayed in the royal tomb camp, waiting for the additional rewards from King Qin.
On the tenth day, an official brought King Qin's reward, a jade pendant.
Name: Dragon Phoenix Auspicious Pendant (Purple Gold)
Type: Accessory
Characteristics: Deterrence (greatly increases the wearer's prestige), Aura Accumulation (aids the wearer's cultivation)
Evaluation: Dragon and phoenix auspicious, symbolizing peace in the world and a bountiful harvest. It is also a sign of nobility and auspiciousness. Auspicious clouds represent good omens and express blessings for the future.
The item's characteristics were very simple, but Ouyang Shuo had to figure out the specific effects himself.
The jade pendant was naturally a good item, but unfortunately, it was still far from Ouyang Shuo's expectations. He thanked the Qin envoy and hung the Dragon Phoenix Auspicious Pendant on his body.
Ouyang Shuo arrived at the Shogunate and bade farewell to the Lord of Martial Peace, Bai Qi.
Bai Qi seemed to be waiting for him as he asked, "Did you obtain the reward?"
"Yes, I was just about to bid farewell to the Lord of Martial Peace."
"Alright, let's go!" Bai Qi said casually.
Ouyang Shuo did not react for a moment as he stammered, "M-we?"
"That's right. Why? Don't you welcome me? "
Bai Qi's words were like a huge pie that smashed into Ouyang Shuo's head, making him dizzy.
Ouyang Shuo could not understand why Bai Qi would suddenly be willing to go with him when he clearly did not trigger the mission to subdue him.
Ouyang Shuo could not be at ease if he did not get to the bottom of this. "I don't understand."
Bai Qi had expected this question from Ouyang Shuo, so he said calmly, "The Lord told me that Lian Po and Zhao Kuo have followed you Mutants to the main plane. The Kingdom of Qin no longer needs me, so I also want to go to the main plane to experience it. Whether it is your personal ability or the strength of your territory, you are top-notch. Naturally, you are the best choice. "
Ouyang Shuo suddenly realized that Gaia was behind this. If he was not wrong, subduing Bai Qi was the hidden reward for first place on the military contribution leaderboard.
How could a mere jade pendant be enough to send him away?
Gaia probably did not only tell Bai Qi about Zhao Kuo. In history, Bai Qi was sentenced to death by King Zhao of Qin not long after the Battle of Changping. It was no wonder that he was so disheartened.
"Lord of Martial Peace, please!" Ouyang Shuo said solemnly.
Bai Qi shook his head with a lonely expression and said, "There is no Lord of Martial Peace in this world. I am Bai Qi." As he said this, he walked out of the mansion, leaving Ouyang Shuo with a straight back.
After everything was done, Ouyang Shuo led his troops back to the main plane.
On the way, he checked Bai Qi's attributes.

Compared to Shi Wansui and E Lai, Bai Qi's attributes were even more terrifying. His commander, martial strength, and intelligence were all top-notch. The only thing he lacked was his political attributes.
These four specialties were a comprehensive upgrade for the army.
Impressive, Bai Qi! (To be continued.)
