Chapter 1175 – Ghost Leading Talisman
6th month, 4th day, the 500 thousand strong army of the Gupta Dynasty successfully disembarked at Pathein on the south side of Hetao Province. After fighting an intense battle against the Guards Legion Corps, they successfully occupied the city and obtained a front sentry base.
The Gupta Dynasty was really smart, and they chose the easier Hetao Province as the place to breach.
Hetao Province was a new province of Great Xia, and the cities around the oceans had not been refurbished. The P1 Type Cannons were not mounted on the city walls, which gave the Gupta Dynasty a chance.
If this was Hanoi Province, the situation would have been very different.
The Guards Legion Corps only had ten thousand soldiers stationed here. Seeing the battle matters going south, they chose to make a strategic retreat. They would make plans after gathering up with the main force.
During this period of time, the Peacock Dynasty army made moves at the border, sweeping the sentry posts Great Xia had placed there. They passed the villages and outposts, looking really aggressive.
The Great Xia Army could only gather in the city and defend and did not dare to make any moves.
Looking at the situation, India was prepared to gather their troops to take down Hetao Province in one fell swoop to obtain practical benefits. Such a non-greedy act was rarely seen.
This was the first time that Great Xia had been on such a back foot, making one worry.
The India region was winning successive battles, and their morale was really high. Some of the players who were originally spectating were tempted and were ready to throw themselves onto the frontlines to try to gain something from the battlefield.
On the contrary, the global forums were all mocking Great Xia.
The forum channels were completely grasped by the hands of Silver Hand and Azure Badge. With such a chance, they would obviously take it. In the recent few days, all the medias had pushed out many reports to diss and send their condolences regarding Great Xia.
Some people actually believed it.
The forums and comments were like an invisible killing blade. If used well, it was worth a huge army.
What made Ouyang Shuo feel slightly happy was that while the main media outlets had no confidence in Great Xia, there were actually people who stepped out to speak for Great Xia.
"Great Xia used its own strength, without even using a single troop from the Imperial Court, and they are able to block the attacks of India. Which enemy has such ability? How is the strength of those who say that Great Xia cannot make it?"
"Purposely dissing your opponent when you yourself is not skilled is so despicable."
Although such voices were very weak, it was enough to prove that the Great Xia Dynasty led by Ouyang Shuo had achieved a certain level of recognition.
Like a little spout, as long as Great Xia kept this up, they would one day grow into a giant tree.
It was under such a circumstance that Ouyang Shuo and his group arrived in Pangbin City. Along with him, apart from the three thousand Divine Martial Guards, were 20 thousand elite combat occupation players.
After the battle a week ago, the guilds had bowed their head to Great Xia.
Since that was the case, seeing that Great Xia was facing so much pressure at the border, these guilds would naturally step up, sending their elite players to assist the frontlines.
Pangbin City, City Lord's Manor.
Baiqi gave a simple introduction of the battlefield situation to the king, "With their current numbers, if they try to force their way through, they would be asking for their death."
"I do not think that they will be so foolish. They only have two choices ahead of them; they either summon their imperial city guards to gather up their strength and take down a certain city, or they let the stalemate continue and wait for the Gupta Dynasty army to meet up with them."
"I think that the first one is more possible. Although Gupta Dynasty has taken down Pathein, there are being chased down and surrounded by the Guards Legion Corps and will not be able to rush over to gather up in a short time. Hence, the best possibility would be for them each to quickly try to breakthrough with their own skills."
Ouyang Shuo nodded. As expected from Baiqi, he had seen through the strategy of the enemy. Ouyang Shuo smiled, "I guess general already has a plan?"
"The enemy does not know that the king can summon 100 thousand imperial city troops to aid us in battle. This is our chance, and if used well, we can counter surround the enemy to create an opportunity," Baiqi replied.
Ouyang Shuo was clear in his heart. Although skill was part of why Great Xia had won all their wars, Ouyang Shuo having endless amounts of trump cards was also decisive. At every crucial moment, he gave the enemy a fatal blow.
Baiqi knew how to use these trump cards.
Ouyang Shuo smiled, taking out a talisman and passing it to Baiqi. "Apart from the 100 thousand guards, I think that this can help general out."
Baiqi took a look at it, and his face shone in surprise.
Ghost Leading Talisman: after use, beast caves will swarm out with 10 times the usual number of beasts.
This talisman was an item that Blood Romance had given to Ouyang Shuo two days ago as a gift. Looking at it then, this talisman was not anything good. If they truly led out 10 times the beast, would they not just be harming themselves?
A normal beast wave already made one exhausted, but if one raised it by 10 times, no one could stop it. At the start, Ouyang Shuo was even wondering if Blood Romance was purposely taking out a useless item to give to him.
However, after thinking about it, if one used this at a right spot, it would achieve a miraculous effect. The current battlefield was such a spot.
Baiqi naturally understood the king's intentions, smiling as he said, "My king, at the north of the border, there's a giant beast cave. As the enemy has had heavy disturbance there, the Hanoi Legion corps camped there retreated a week ago."
Ouyang Shuo nodded, "This is up to you." Ouyang Shuo rushed to the frontlines only to spectate and to raise the morale of the army. He had no intentions of taking over control.
The specific battle plans were the responsibility of the Baiqi led command headquarters.
"Understood!" Baiqi bowed.
As the 6th month arrived, the beast caves became more and more restless, and the number of beasts seemed to be increasing. If at such a time, one led out 10 times the number, it would probably create enough problems for the Peacock Dynasty.
A plan was rising up in Baiqi's heart.
After they met, Ouyang Shuo left the 20 thousand combat occupation players for Baiqi to command. He brought the three thousand Divine Martial Guards out of the city to tour the other nearby cities.
With the Divine Martial Guards alongside him, there was nothing the Peacock Dynasty army could do to Ouyang Shuo.
If Durava was obsessed and tried to kill him, Ouyang Shuo did not mind using himself as bait to hook in Peacock Dynasty.
One must forget that Ouyang Shuo could summon 320 thousand imperial city guards at any moment.
...
Peacock Dynasty, Imphal City.
Like Pangbin City, Imphal City was a small city at the border except it was within Peacock Dynasty border and opposite to Pangbin City. This was the reason why it was chosen as the frontline command center of the Peacock Dynasty.
During this period of time, the Peacock Dynasty army had already swept the surrounding region. The arrival of Ouyang Shuo and his men was naturally caught by their eyes, and the matter was quickly reported to the command center.
City Lord's Manor.
Upon learning that the Xia King had personally cole, although Durava was delighted, he felt a little tense. He said to the generals seated beneath him, "We cannot let this thing drag on."
Gupta Dynasty King Akbar was also an old fox. After leading his troops to take down Pathein, he did not rush up north to gather up with the Peacock Dynasty army. Instead, he remained there with waiting for grain as the reason.
As a ruler, Durava obviously knew what Akbar was thinking about. He was worried about the Guards Legion Corps and did not dare to fight them head on. He hoped for Peacock Dynasty to open up the battle for him so that he could be the fisherman that claims credit.
Even when these two opponents formed an alliance, they were still plotting against one another.
Gupta Dynasty did that because Akbar had no ambition toward the land in Hetao Province. He just wanted to pillage it to earn achievement value and win the support of the Indian players.
Peacock Dynasty was different.
To Peacock Dynasty, this was the best chance for them to take down Hetao Province, and it might even be the only chance. Who knows what kind of monster Great Xia would grow into in next year's country war.
Since Peacock Dynasty had more ambition than Gupta Dynasty, the Peacock Dynasty army was more eager. A week had passed, and they had to do something.
If not, they were going to miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity.
"King, please instruct us!" The generals below all cupped their fists, brimming with fighting spirit.
Durava's eyes swept across them as he said in a low tone, "From tomorrow onward, we will begin the city surrounding plan."
"Yes!"
At this point, the country war was finally welcoming its peak.
