Chapter 578-Choosing Wei Qing or Huo Qubing

For this battle, Ouyang Shuo did not gather the other members of the alliance for a discussion.

They had already reached the 5th battle map and everyone knew how to prepare, so he did not need to micromanage them.

Furthermore, for their territories to develop to such a stage, they were all capable individuals.

If he added more words, it might just worsen the situation.

People were like that. As their positions grew higher, their attitudes would change too.

Let us not mention the prideful Feng Qiuhuang and Bai Hua, even Gong Chengshi and the others were all great Lords in their region, and a large portion of players worshipped them.

Hence, Ouyang Shuo paid a lot of attention to his actions and words.

Instead, he took the time to fetch Little White from Yashan City.

If one continued to call it Little White, it would seem a little inappropriate.

Since Yashan City’s establishment, the three spirit beasts had been training in the Spirit Beast Hall in Yashan City. Apart from Xue’er, who was a little special, Little Green and Little White were close to maturity.

Little Green, the Nian Beast, was close to its parent in size. The sight of Little Green was enough to incite fear. During the time it cultivated in the hall, Little Green would sometimes go out to play around at the beaches and sea regions of Yashan City.

Basically all the players that frequented Yashan City recognized this special Nian Beast. Many players viewed it as the protector beast of Yashan City.

In truth, that was indeed the case.

The neighbouring sea regions became incredibly peaceful thanks to Little Green. The beasts in the sea did not dare to approach Qiongzhou Island. If they careless got close, they would become its food.

Little White grew bigger by the day.

It was no longer the little wolf pup from the start. Instead, it was now a ferocious and handsome white wolf. However, its eyes remained as lazy as before.

As for Xue’er, it became much more mysterious.

Even after cultivating for so long, there were no visible differences on the surface.

It was still so pure and romantic.

Ouyang Shuo could not even check out its stats.

Cultivation in the Spirit Beast Hall was undoubtedly incredibly dry and boring.

When they saw Ouyang Shuo, the three were exceedingly warm and close. Especially Xue’er, who stuck to him like glue.

If Bing’er did not come here to visit them often, they probably would not have managed to hold on till now.

Ouyang Shuo bringing away Little White caused Little Green, who had never bothered about him, to feel a little reluctant.

Ouyang Shuo just had a feeling that the Wolf God Little White could help him during the Battle of Mobei. As for the other two, they naturally could not follow along.

As for the voyaging mission, Ouyang Shuo could consider bringing Little Green along.

In the following two days, everything went on as usual.

All the battle preparations were completed in an orderly fashion.

To the current Combat Logistics Department, preparing for three thousand people was an easy matter.

Each Divine Martial Guard was equipped with the best.

Items such as Mingguang Armor, Tang Blade, Horse Lance, and God Arm Crossbow were all standard issue items handed out.

Especially the God Arm Crossbow, which the Combat Logistics Department had specially modified. Even at charging speeds, as long as one was trained, they could fire three successive shots.

Apart from that, the Divine Martial Guards skilled in archery were also equipped with a longbow. On the other hand, the mountain barbarian warriors chose single-handed shields based on what they were comfortable with.

Every Divine Martial Guards had their equipment tailored to their needs.

The value of an entire set was no less than a hundred gold.

Each one of them brought a full bag military grain pills, which was enough to last their horses and the individual soldiers for more than a month.

After heading deep into the desert, it would be extremely difficult for the Han Army to obtain resources and logistical supplies even if they wanted to.

Hence, they needed to bring a sufficient amount of military grain pills.

Ouyang Shuo believed that the other Lords would make similar arrangements.

The only difference was that Shanhai City’s Combat Logistics Development led the region.

It was reported that the Combat Logistics Department was researching a Super Military Grain Pill. One small pill could last a cavalry and his horse for one full day.

They had also brought a sufficient number of military tents.

After the new generation of military tents were fully folded, they were only the size of a backpack. As for the weight, it was practically nothing to the elite Qingfu Horses.

If one did not have a tent when travelling the dessert, it would be extremely hard for them to get past the night.

Apart from that, the Combat Logistics Department also modified the capes of the Divine Martial Guards and added a hoodie to the capes. When worn, the hoodie could largely reduce the effect of the sandstorms.

Ouyang Shuo had originally planned for the Combat Logistics Department to research a type of goggles.

Helplessly, Shanhai City did not obtain the Glass Making Technical Manual, so they could not proceed with the matter.

Apart from that, the boots, backpacks, daggers, belts, and even their inner shirts were all the new generation of gear.

When building the special forces base, they had already started researching these relevant equipment.

Now, all of the equipment were basically complete.

The current Divine Martial Guards could be considered to have the structure of an olden special force unit.

Of course, there were some problems that the Combat Logistics Department could not solve.

For example, water.

Water was just as important as grain when traveling in the desert.

One could even say that it was the most important item.

Helplessly, there was nothing in this world that could compress water.

Just the water in their bags was definitely not enough.

However, for this point, he could only leave it to the Divine Martial Guards to settle the problem themselves.

During the auction, the giant interspatial stone he acquired could expand the storage bag to ten thousand cubic meters.

Unfortunately, the storage bag could not be used in the battle map.

……

Gaia 3rd year, 1st month, 18th day, 9 AM, system notification sounded out on time.

“System Notification: 119 BC, after the Monan and Hexi Battles, although Xiongnu led his troops to mobei, they kept on attacking the north prefecture of the Han Dynasty. They were trying to bait Xiongu’s troops over the desert. Emperor Wu of Han sent General Wei Qing and General Huo Qubing to each lead fifty thousand men, separating into two groups to enter Mobei to destroy the main force of Xiongnu. He also gathered one hundred thousand infantry and many horses to act as logistical support.

This battle was a strategic attack by the Han Dynasty against Xiongnu, and it was also Xiongnu Chan Yu’s fight for coexistence against West Han. In the end, the Han Army achieved complete victory. The 5th battle map, Battle of Mobei, officially begins!”

Shanhai City, imperial city square, the three thousand Divine Martial Guards had formed up, awaiting departure.

“Checking participation conditions, confirming number of men participating.”

Just as Ouyang Shuo was about to choose his camp, a system notification sounded out.

“System Notification: For the Battle of Mobei, all players are in the West Han camp. There is no need for selection.”

“Forced selection? Interesting.” Ouyang Shuo muttered.

It was not over yet, as another system notification sounded out.

“System Notification: West Han camp, split into Wei Qing Army and Huo Qubing Army. Please choose.”

“What’s this? Before the battle even begins, we need to choose a side?”

Ouyang Shuo frowned; this battle was filled with mysteries.

In history, the Battle of Mobei was indeed split into two lines of troops.

Wei Qing led his troops and set off from Dingxiang, while Huo Qubing set off from Daijun.

Hundreds of miles separated the two cities.

In that case, there was truly a need to choose a side to join for the battle proceedings.

“Is there a difference?” Ouyang Shuo was still not at ease.

“Your choice will affect the General recruitment quest.” Gaia finally revealed this matter.

“How?” Ouyang Shuo asked.

“If you choose the east line, the first to reach the Khentii Mountains can recruit Huo Qubing. If you choose the west line, there are two quests.”

“What two?”

Hearing that he could directly recruit Huo Qubing, Ouyang Shuo’s heart directly convulsed.

This time, Gaia was ready to go all out.

“If you follow General Wei Qing, as long as you kill Chan Yu, you can recruit General Wei Qing. If you chase after Li Guang and Zhao Shi, as long as you can find them and guide them on the right path, preventing Li Guang from committing suicide, you can recruit him.” Gaia was extremely specific.

“…”

When Ouyang Shuo heard this news, he was utterly speechless.

This time, Gaia was just putting the three famous generals on a plate for everyone to fight for.

At first glance, it seemed like the chance to recruit these generals was there for the taking.

However, this just made Ouyang Shuo worry even more.

There was no such thing as free lunch in this world.

One definitely had to pay a price to recruit a god general.

Most importantly, even if one paid a heavy price, they might end up with nothing.

There were only three famous generals and over fifty participating Lords.

The bigger test was the quest itself. None of the quests sounded easy to complete.

“First to reach Khentii Mountains?”

That was an unprecedented task the genius general Huo Qubing completed alone.

Could the player Lords complete this task with just three thousand soldiers?

“Assassinate Chan Yu?”

Even the great General Wei Qing could not do that.

Even finding Li Guang was completely based on luck. Even Li Guang, who had fought against Xiongnu for his whole life, could lose his way in the desert.

For the player armies that were coming into contact with the desert for the first time, they needed more than normal luck to succeed.

Hence, no matter which task they chose, it would seem almost impossible.

It was like Gaia was giving the fifty Lords a sweet illusion.

To make matters worse, Gaia had told them about this fact right before they had to set off.

Because of that, be it Shanhai alliance or Yanhuang Alliance, they could not discuss matters and work together with their allies. Their individual choices were completely random.

However, they were helpless, as this bait was simply too alluring.

Even Ouyang Shuo, who knew that this was a hole, could not help but close his eyes and jump in.

Now the crucial question was which to choose?
