1025 Three Heroes of Later Song (1/2)
Chapter 1025 – Three Heroes of Later Song
In the blink of an eye, it was already the 5th month, 19th day, and it was time for the Battle of Yashan.
As Ouyang Shuo was not exactly sure about the battle, for the 100 thousand troops he sent out, Ouyang Shuo chose the Emperor Squadron, the only infantry and cavalry mixed legion-the Guards Legion Corps 4th legion, and the three thousand Divine Martial Guards.
Compared to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd legions of the Guards Legion Corps who had gone through successive tough battles, in the Battle of Annan, the 4th legion followed Baiqi to directly take down Hanoi. During the process, they did not suffer many casualties, and they did not even have to fight much and the battle had ended.
Along with the fact that they were a mixed legion, it made them a lot more adaptive, which was why Ouyang Shuo chose them for this Battle Map.
At 9 AM, the System Notification sounded out punctually.
”System Notification: 1279 AD, the Mongol army went down south to wipe out Song. After taking down South Song Capital City Lin'an, they continued south to wipe out the remaining South Song forces. Both sides had their finally battle at Yashan, ending with the total destruction of South Song. 9th Battle Map - Battle of Yashan, officially begins!”
Checking battle requirements, selecting troops...
”System Notification: Battle of Yashan, player forces automatically listed as South Song camp, no need to choose.”
Ouyang Shuo nodded; he was already mentally prepared for that.
”System Notification: Teleportation start?”
After a short while of twisting and turning, Ouyang Shuo and his men appeared on the battlefield.
”System Notification: Welcome player Qiyue Wuqi to South Song camp Lin'an.”
”Lin'an?”
Ouyang Shuo was instantly stunned. How could it be Lin'an? During the Battle of Yashan, it had long since fell, so what was Gaia doing with this Battle Map?
Very quickly, Ouyang Shuo had his answer.
At this very moment, a notification sounded out.
”Battle Map Notification: Battle of Yashan is listed as a time limit city defense battle. It has nothing to do with real history. Players need to defend Lin'an for a month from the Mongol army attacks to win. If one succeeds, one will obtain great rewards. If not, all battle contribution points will be removed.”
”Vicious!”
Gaia was trying to force their hands and push their backs against the wall. They were only allowed to win and could not lose.
If they failed, they would not even earn a single battle contribution point, much less any rewards. The soldiers they lost naturally could not be revived.
The part that made Ouyang Shuo depressed was that since it was a time limit defense battle, the Emperor Squadron he brought was useless and could only do nothing in the nearby ocean region.
Ouyang Shuo temporarily suppressed his thoughts. Looking around, he found that the location they appeared in was not the outer city camps like in previous city maps. Instead, they appeared within Lin'an city.
Did this mean that the Mongol army had already arrived?
In history, Lin'an surrendered without putting up a fight.
”Battle Map Notification: Battle of Yashan has a total of six Lords participating, a total of 400 thousand troops. Based on rank and merit points, the player representative is Qiyue Wuyi, prince.”
...
Since there was only one camp, the Shanhai Alliance and the Yanhuang Alliance had to work together this time. On the military side, Ouyang Shuo and Di Chen each brought 100 thousand troops.
The other four all brought 50 thousand. In terms of military strength, the Yanhuang Alliance still had an advantage.
Luckily, Ouyang Shuo was the player representative.
Compared to the An Lushan rebellion, there were two less Lords - Wandering Magic and Sha Pojun were both gone, making the battle a little colder. If nothing went wrong, the next Battle Map would only have two to three Lords.
The training that a Battle Map could provide to a Lord was greatly reducing, and to a larger extent, it was to lead another dynasty into the wilderness to complete the entire historical timeline.
The two sides of the Battle of Yashan, one was South Song, while the other was Mongol Yuan. Who knows whether Gaia would allow them both to enter the wilderness progression or not.
Perhaps, the next Battle Map would be the Yuan Dynasty.
If it were the first case, the China Region would only be left with the Ming and Qing Dynasty Battle Maps. Just like that, they were about to zoom past five thousand years of history.
...
Whilst registering, Ouyang Shuo saw Di Chen and his group.
In the Battle of West Chu that had just ended, Ouyang Shuo had conned the Yanhuang Alliance twice, causing Di Chen to hate Ouyang Shuo to the bone.
As they say, 'When enemies come face to face, their eyes blaze with hate.'
Although they were in the same camp, Di Chen did not treat Ouyang Shuo courteously.
Looking at the expressions of Di Chen and the others, Feng Qiuhuang walked over from behind Ouyang Shuo. Although the Yanhuang Alliance had 100 thousand more troops than them, Feng Qiuhuang was not afraid.
Following behind her was the Great Tang famous general, Guo Ziyi.
This slowly formed into a faceoff between both parties, making the atmosphere a little tense. Ouyang Shuo did not want to have a war of words and was about to leave. At this very moment, Xiong Ba suddenly spoke, ”Brother Ouyang, how have you been?”
Since they were going to be fighting on the same side, Xiong Ba, who was a formidable character, did not want the relationship between the two sides to be so tense, which would affect the battle.
Furthermore, Ouyang Shuo was the player representative. Without him passing the message, it would be even tougher for the Yanhuang Alliance in this battle.
Similar to Great Xia, Handan City, Blood Red City, and King City had all brought their navies, which would all be useless.
