Fei River, 550 thousand troops engaged in battle.
As both sides were locked in a stalemate, dusk arrived. The red sun was about to set, and it looked like night was about to fall. Victory had not been decided.
Since the start of battle, both sides had thrown in all their forces. The 500 thousand former Qin troops were all thrown into the battle under Fu Jian's personally leadership. Xie Xuan, on the other hand, led his 70 thousand north house army.
Both sides killed till it was dark, totally exhausted.
Even Ouyang Shuo did not expect that his predicted victory would end up in such a scene. The stubbornness of the enemy had exceeded his expectations.
This was a true life and death battle.
Be it Wuqi or Huo Qubing, they all wished they had a reserve force. Anyone with 30 thousand troops could break the stalemate and obtain victory.
Unfortunately, they had no soldiers to use.
At this very moment, horse hooves could be heard from afar.
Huo Qubing and Wuqi were both shocked, thinking that they were the reinforcements of the enemy, they felt their hearts sink.
As the horse hooves got closer, both sides got more and more nervous.
In the end, when the vanguard cavalry appeared in sight, a golden flag waved in front of them - it was the flag of the Great Xia Dynasty, the golden dragon flag.
Huo Qubing was astonished; he guessed that it was Ma Chao's forces. He did not expect for him to be so efficient; he managed to rush back from Jingzhou so quickly.
Wuqi's face turned dark. Ma Chao's arrival was enough to change the entire battlefield.
"Commander!"
Ma Chao came to Huo Qubing, giving a military bow.
Huo Qubing directly asked, "Can your forces still fight?"
Ma Chao said loudly, "General, 80 thousand elite cavalry, awaiting your orders."
"Great!"
Huo Qubing nodded his head forcefully and immediately arranged the region for Ma Chao to attack. Under Huo Qubing's arrangement, the 80 thousand cavalry gave the tired Qin army a fatal blow.
To the Qin army, it was pretty much a catastrophe.
The 80 thousand cavalry were like 80 thousand sharp knives stabbing into their stomachs.
Fu Jian could not take it, and he retreated toward Shouyang. If he did not leave now, he might lose his life.
Next were the Lords. Seeing that hope was lost, they did not want to make sacrifices for nothing, so they took their troops and left.
All that remained in the former Qin army was mostly Yanhuang Alliance troops. Ouyang Shuo naturally would not want to miss out on a chance to crush them, so he ordered Huo Qubing to show no mercy.
Di Chen and the others were helpless and could only retreat.
The back views of Di Chen and the others were really lonely and sad; they were so close to winning.
Fu Rong was leading the 300 thousand Shouyang troops over. If Ma Chao's forces did not rush back in time, the war would have another outcome.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs in war, and they still lost in the end.
Who would have expected that one Battle of Jingzhou to decide the fates of both sides?
The remaining Qin troops were wiped out as the sun set.
Seeing that it was already night, there was no point in chasing. If they were not careful and met the Fu Rong led army, the situation would be bad.
A huge war ended just like that.
Looking at the battlefield, Ouyang Shuo heaved a sigh of relief.
What was Fu Jian, who was retreating toward Shouyang, thinking? The same scenes, he had been through it twice in his life; fate was just so cruel.
"We finally won!"
At some point in time, Feng Qiuhuang and the others appeared behind Ouyang Shuo.
This was the 7th Battle Map in China and was the most intense one between players. For contribution points and ranks, Lords had gambled everything.
In this battle, there was no absolute winner.
"Will we send troops to Shouyang tomorrow?" Feng Qiuhuang asked.
Ouyang Shuo did not turn around and said, "Naturally, we must chase the victory."
The next morning, as the East Jin army was about to proceed toward Shouyang, a System Notification suddenly sounded out.
Just last night, Fu Jian's remaining forces met Fu Rong's troops mid-way and retreated to Shouyang. Before Fu Jian had a chance to regain his senses, news of a rebellion by Murong Chui and Yao Chang spread out.
Fu Jian did not want to stay in Shouyang for any longer, so he immediately led his troops back to the country to calm the rebellion. With them leaving, the Battle of Fei River had unexpectedly ended too.
At 9 AM, the battle notification sounded out.
"Battle Notification: Battle of Fei River has officially ended, the former Qin has failed to rewrite history."
"Battle Notification: Battle of Fei River has officially ended; Gaia will tabulate extra points based on player contribution and influence on the battle."
A System Notification spread out in Ouyang Shuo's ear.
"System Notification: Player Qiyue Wuyi, East Jin camp player representative, leading the Great Xia Dynasty troops, directing the battle proceedings, awarded additional 150000 battle contribution points."
This was the first time Gaia used 'directing the battle' in the description, which meant that Gaia had recognized that players could control and lead the battle.
As a result, Ouyang Shuo got so many extra points. It seemed like as the player representative of the former Qin camp, Di Chen would also earn a lot.
Ouyang Shuo took a look at the final battle contribution points rankings.
Position-Name- Battle Contribution Points
1st: Qiyue Wuyi- 1200000 points
2nd: Feng Qiuhuang- 550000 points
3rd: Di Chen - 500000 points
4th: Chun Shenjun- 450000 points
5th: Wufu- 400000 points
6th: Xiong B 300000 points
7th: West Gate Big Official- 280000 points
8th: Gong Chengshi- 250000 points
9th: Zhan Lang - 200000 points
10th: Wandering Magic- 180000 points
Ouyang Shuo's battle contribution points had exceeded a million for the first time. The source of which could be split into four types.
The first was obtained by the five thousand elite cavalry that entered the former Qin backlines.
The army in the former Qin land was there for the army to kill, letting these three forces earn a lot. Consequently, Feng Qiuhuang and Wufu also earned a lot.
The second type was obtained by the Guards Legion Corps that went down south to Jingzhou.
Thanks to the sneak attack, they killed many enemies. West Gate Big Official's cavalry also obtained plentiful rewards. He entered the top 10 for the first time and was even in front of Gong Chengshi, Zhan Lang, and Wandering Magic.
The thirrd was from the Yashan Squadron.
As the battle at Huai River was not really intense, this portion of contribution points was limited.
The Zhoushan squadron's lack of strength had affected the contribution points of Xiong Ba.
Fourth, the final battle.
During the final battle, the remaining two divisions of the Guards Legion Corps, under the lead of Ouyang Shuo and the Divine Martial Guards, obtained huge amounts of battle contribution points.
Along with the stacking of Huo Qubing as the commander, and the extra 150 thousand points, Ouyang Shuo was able to get 1.2 million points.
Deducting the points used to revive the army, Ouyang Shuo had 1.1 million battle contribution points left, giving him 110 thousand merit points. As a result, his merit point value exceeded two million.
Hence, Ouyang Shuo officially upgraded to prince.
However, as they were in the Battle Map, Gaia delayed the System Notification.
After the battle ended, Ouyang Shuo did not take the initiative to recruit Xie Xuan.
First, with Xie Xuan's commanding ability, he would not be eye-catching in the Great Xia Dynasty. Secondly, he had a huge aristocratic family behind him, which Ouyang Shuo did not like.
The aristocratic families in East Jin were corrupted beyond measure, and they could not fit in with the righteous Great Xia Dynasty. Ouyang Shuo did not want to invite in such a family because of one Xie Xuan.
In comparison, Ouyang Shuo was more interested in Pei Fa.
After Feng Qiuhuang and the others left, Ouyang Shuo stayed in the camp to wait for the reward. This time, the reward was of little surprise to him.
At 3 PM, the reward was handed over by Xie Shi into Ouyang Shuo's hands.
Ouyang Shuo took a look at it; it was an old scroll.
Name: Yellow Court Internal Scripture: Qi Cultivation (God Rank cultivation method)
Level: 1/9
Stats: For every layer raised, comprehension +4, bone structure +2, luck +2, all innate stats +2
Specialty: Unique, cannot be dropped, cannot be traded.
Requirement: Need to train Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Technique to the full level to cultivate this.
Evaluation: A portion of the Yellow Court Internal Scripture that focuses on Qi cultivation, a great internal cultivation technique. After training, one can open up the Zifu.
Note: This cultivation method is the second scroll in the combined technique, player please search for the remaining portion.
Compared to the Yellow Emperor Cultivation Technique, the Yellow Court Internal Scripture was a level further on the road of cultivation. It mainly raised comprehension and also raised bone structure and luck.
The Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Technique opened up the Dantian, which was also the lower Dantian out of the three, the low, middle, and high ones. The Yellow Court Internal Scripture opened up the middle Dantian, which was the Zifu.
The next scripture opened up the Niwan, which was the upper Dantian.
The three techniques all worked together to push Ouyang Shuo forward on the road of cultivation. The three scrolls covered numerous martial art manuals, combining many bodily secrets. It was the highest grade internal cultivation manual that one could cultivate.
For Ouyang Shuo to get this for himself showed that his luck was great.
After getting the reward, Ouyang Shuo did not stay and led his troops out of the Battle Map.
The moment he appeared in Shanhai City, the System Notification sounded out punctually.
"World Notification: Congratulations China region player Qiyue Wuyi for becoming the first Lord in China to become a prince. Awarded 150000 reputation points and a special reward, congratulations!"
