Chapter 894 Keeping Pace with Each Other

June 19th, Shanhai City.

During the three days of preparation for the battle, Ouyang Shuo was not only making various preparations for participating in the Battle of Feishui, but also paying close attention to the progress of the negotiations in the Mediterranean Sea.

Under the mediation of Queen Kalia, and Violet made a promise on behalf of the Great Xia Dynasty that the Atlantic Fleet would not cross the Mediterranean Sea, and the suspended negotiation process was finally restarted.

It's just that in terms of negotiation conditions, the Mediterranean lord became more and more harsh, which made Violet very angry.

Ouyang Shuo wrote to Zi Luolan to calm her down, and there was no need to reach a conclusion right away. It would be better to just delay it and turn it into a marathon negotiation.

Now Alvaro has led the fourth and fifth formations of the Atlantic Fleet to set off from the Atlantic Ocean, sailing around the African continent, shuttle the Cape of Good Hope, and open up new routes.

The moment the Atlantic Fleet appeared in the Gulf of Aden was when the bargaining chips between the two sides reversed.

So Ouyang Shuo was not in a hurry.

In three days, another major event happened in Shanhai City.

Just yesterday, the bidding conference for the qualifications of the Rabat satellite township guild led by the Commercial Department finally came to an end. The winning bidder was a guild alliance formed by five large guilds in Xianyang Wangcheng.

The five guilds were integrated into [Jiangshan League], and with 4 million gold coins, 7% equity of [Jiangshan League] and 50% of the satellite city's tax revenue, they were qualified as guarding guilds and became another super guild in China.

According to the usual practice, at the request of [Jiangshan League], the Great Xia Dynasty transferred 2% of the equity of the Four Seas Bank to [Jiangshan League] at the price of three million gold coins.

Compared with the equity at the time of the first fundraising, the equity of Universal Bank has appreciated by 50%.

Presumably the [Blood Fiend Mercenary Group] entrenched in Xianyang is too powerful, forcing the Xianyang Guild to have no choice but to leave overseas and seek another development.

Of course, for [Jiangshan League], taking a step back might be a brighter future.

In the second half of the fourth year of Gaia, the oligarchs in the wilderness rose up, and the mergers and reorganizations among the guilds were also intensified. As the agglomeration effect of the satellite cities was further strengthened, the guild giants showed stronger and stronger dominance.

For other guilds, a strong reorganization is a way to stand out.

The premise is to increase the quota of satellite cities.

In the current game environment, guilds without satellite town guard qualifications, no matter how huge their scale, have to rely on others. They are feared by guarding guilds, and it is difficult to really rise.

There are only two ways to add a new satellite city, one is to promote the territory to the capital city, and the other is to destroy the country. As far as the capital is concerned, it seems that no one has hope at present, and can only look forward to the destruction of the country.

That's why, recently, many guilds have shown favor to the Great Xia Dynasty. Those guilds that failed to bid also booked tickets for the next auction early.

No one in the Chinese region knows that the Great Xia Dynasty is the real giant of the national war.

Ouyang Shuo was indifferent to this, he was no longer interested in playing alliance games with these guilds, and wanted to win the qualification of guarding the guild? Simple, exchange it with real money.

…………

As early as a few months ago, Ouyang Shuo was doing the homework of [Battle of Feishui]. He had already studied this battle thoroughly and knew the cause and effect of it very well.

The "Huang Ting Jing Jing" that Ouyang Shuo wants to get is the highest reward of the Eastern Jin camp. Therefore Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to choose the Eastern Jin camp.

If it wasn't like this, Ouyang Shuo would have chosen the former Qin camp and made another counterattack.

From Ouyang Shuo's point of view, if there is an alien army joining in, the former Qin camp will have great potential. As long as the situation is stabilized and the situation is not allowed to collapse, the Eastern Jin Dynasty will not be easy to fight against the former Qin army who has an absolute superiority in military strength.

Fortunately, Feng Prison Huang and the others were quite interesting, and when they learned that Ouyang Shuo had chosen the Eastern Jin camp, they followed suit and fought side by side.

Ouyang Shuo has already posted on the forum, announcing his camp choice to the public.

If the [Yanhuang League] also chose the Eastern Jin camp, then this battle would be too boring. Ouyang Shuo said that no matter whether Dichen and others are willing or not, they can only choose the former Qin camp.

As for how to choose other lords, Ouyang Shuo didn't care much.

Although some people on the forum interpreted that as the confrontation between the Great Xia Dynasty and the [Yanhuang League] became more and more fierce, the [North Sichuan City-state] and [Shunan City-state] that were in the cracks and whirlpools would also split internally and start a new round. Standing in line, [Battle of Feishui] is an examination room to review the "composition" of the lords.

Ouyang Shuo scoffed at this.

The player's thinking is a little too simple. It is undeniable that the Great Xia Dynasty and the [Yanhuang League] have buried a lot of hidden chess pieces in the two major city-states, but no one will be stupid enough to expose these chess pieces in the battle.

If anyone really judges the opponent's chess pieces through the choice of the camp of the battle, I am afraid that they will suffer a big loss.

Right now, the battle in the wilderness of China has already faintly felt like the princes are fighting for hegemony. The intricacy and treachery in it are beyond the imagination and interpretation of ordinary players.

Unknowingly, a group of new "elites" have been born in the game, standing out from the crowd.

…………

At nine o'clock in the morning, the system announcement sounded on time.

"System announcement: In 383 A.D., the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian sent a million-strong army to conquer the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was defeated and returned. The dynasty was destroyed. The seventh epic battle—the Battle of Feishui officially started!"

Detect the conditions for participating in the battle, designate the participating troops, select the camp...

For the 100,000 troops of the Great Xia Dynasty, Ouyang Shuo chose the Second Corps of the Imperial Guard, the First Formation of the Yashan Fleet, the Marine Corps directly under the Navy Command, plus 3,000 Shenwu Guards and an air squadron. The admiral used the 100,000 reference quota to the extreme.

The Marine Corps, which is directly under the Navy Command, has recently completed the training course at the special operations training base and officially entered the stage of actual combat exercises.

This time Ouyang Shuo brought the Marine Corps into the battle, giving them a chance to actually fight.

The air flight squad has become the standard equipment for the Great Xia Dynasty to participate in the battle. Even if it can't effectively kill the enemy, it is at least a sharp sword for reconnaissance.

After the setting was completed, a system notification sound came from Ouyang Shuo's ear.

"System prompt: Teleportation begins!"

After a short period of dizziness, Ouyang Shuo and his party appeared on the Feishui battlefield.

"System prompt: welcome player Qiyue Wuyi to come to the headquarters of the Eastern Jin faction—the military camp on the east coast of Feishui."

"East bank of Feishui?"

Ouyang Shuo was taken aback. According to the history of the war, if the Eastern Jin camp had its headquarters in Feishui, then Gaia would have skipped all the foreplay and directly pushed the battle of Feishui to the most critical step.

That is to say, the two armies are facing each other across the Fei River, and the war will break out at any time.

Feishui is also used as fertilizer water. It originates from Jiangjunling between Feixi and Shouxian County, and is divided into two branches. The one flowing to the northwest, after two hundred miles, exits Shouxian County and enters the Huaihe River; the one flowing southeast flows into Chaohu Lake.

The place where the battle broke out is the southeast tributary of Feishui, which is not very spacious. The torrential river that poured down from Jiangjun Ridge passed by and gradually calmed down.

Because of this, the Eastern Jin army could easily cross the river during the war.

Before he had time to think about it, Ouyang Shuo completed the registration as usual, and then joined Feng Qiuhuang and the others. In this teleportation, the Second Corps of the Imperial Guard and Shenwuwei appeared in the barracks, and the first formation of the Yashan Fleet, the Marine Corps, and the Air Flight Squad appeared in the Huaihe River, stationed with the Eastern Jin Navy.

Ouyang Shuo believed that Xiong Ba, and even Zhan Lang, Di Chen and the others, might have brought the navy to help out this time, so as not to be seized by the Yashan fleet to control the Huaishui River.

In the battle of Feishui in history, the role of water warfare was not very conspicuous. Because of the appearance of the alien fleet in the game, I am afraid that there will be a different situation, and there will be many more variables.

Not long after, the alien legions participating in the battle were sent to the battle map one by one.

Just after Ouyang Shuo reunited with Feng Qiuhuang and the others, battle announcements came from his ears.

"Battle Announcement: A total of 30 lords participated in the Battle of Feishui, with a total force of 770,000. The Eastern Jin camp had 13 lords with a total force of 370,000; the former Qin camp had 17 lords with a total force of 400,000. "

...

In the battle of Feishui, all the lords who were qualified to participate in the battle came, and none of them was absent.

One is that the lords of the second-level county cities have all reached the second-class marquis, and they can lead 20,000 troops into the battle map. They already have the capital to compete in the battle, and they will not be used as cannon fodder; An opportunity for meritorious service.

Not only that, even the total strength of the two camps is basically the same. The number of lords in the former Qin camp is too large, not because the [Yanhuang League] is more popular, but because they have seven members in the alliance alone.

In contrast, [Shanhai League] now has only four members left.

Among the 370,000 troops of the Eastern Jin camp, the [Shanhai League] army alone reached 190,000, more than half. Except for the pure infantry brought by the siege lion, the troops of Phoenix Prisoner and 砆 were mainly cavalry.

Similarly, the [Yanhuang League] has a total strength of 200,000 troops, exactly half of the former Qin Alien Legion.

This also shows that the future battle is basically under the control of the two major alliances. If other lords want to get a share of the battle, they must attach themselves to the wings of the two major alliances.

"Battle Announcement: Because the Eastern Jin camp is weaker than the former Qin camp, according to the rules of the campaign, the Eastern Jin camp automatically gains a 5% increase in troop defense."

...

Because the strength of the two camps is almost the same, the buff effect will naturally be greatly reduced. The 5% defense gain of the troops basically has no effect on the outcome of the war.

The only impact is estimated to be that the casualties of the Alien Legion on the side of the Eastern Jin camp may be a little less.

"Battle Announcement: According to the test results of title and merit, the representative of the Eastern Jin camp is Qiyue Wuyi, Duke. The representative of the former Qin camp is Di Chen, a first-class marquis."

...

Currently, Dichen is still the one with the most meritorious service among the members of the [Yanhuang League], and has even distanced himself from Chunshen Jun, and is likely to keep pace with Feng Prisonhuang.

Maybe, Handan City really has a chance to become the second capital city in China.
