Chapter 371 Epic Battle, Battle of Fuping!
"Ding, you have been officially conferred the title by the Han court and become the governor of Nanyang. You have completed the S-level achievement mission 'Governor of a County'."

Li Qian bribed Zhang Rang, one of the Ten Eunuchs, and was recognized by the court. He was promoted from the magistrate of Xinye to the governor of Nanyang. He also had an unexpected gain and completed an S-level achievement task.

Li Qian opened the achievement list and found that the S-level achievement task "Guardian of a County" was already in the gold reward status waiting to be collected.

The prefect was the highest administrative official in a county. In addition to governing the people, promoting talented people, deciding lawsuits, and investigating corruption, he could also appoint and dismiss his subordinates.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, prefects, provincial governors, and governors were almost all local lords.

"Ding, you have received the task reward for the S-level achievement task 'Guarding a County'. The public opinion of the counties under your control in Nanyang County is increased by 10 points, administrative efficiency is increased by 5 points, the output of various resources is increased by 3%, and the basic attack power of Nanyang County's soldiers is increased by 1, and the basic defense power is increased by 1."

"The loyalty of your civil and military officials increases by 1 to 10 points."

"Officials appointed by the imperial court in Nanyang County have an impression of you of +20, and their loyalty is increased."

"You get a special reward 'Epic Battle Dungeon Token' x 1."

Epic Battle Instance Token!

Li Qian got the second epic battle copy token.

The first historical battle copy token "Battle of Xiangji Temple" brought Li Qian considerable gains.

I wonder what copy this second token can open?
Last time Li Qian chose the difficult difficulty, maybe he can choose the epic difficulty this time?

In addition to the special reward of the epic battle copy token, the regular rewards will improve all aspects of Li Qian's territory and can speed up the recovery of Li Qian's territory.

In addition, the rewards can also improve the favorability and loyalty of officials in Nanyang County, which will be of great help to Li Qian's rule over Nanyang County.

Nanyang County is a big county in the world. If we manage Nanyang County well, we can advance to compete for the Central Plains or retreat to seize Jianghan.

With the benefit of being the "head of a county", most of the counties in Nanyang County, except for the northern counties occupied by the troops of Yingchuan County, submitted to Li Qian.

Li Qian used the epic battle copy token he obtained.

"Ding, the epic battle dungeon 'Battle of Fuping' is open. The entry time is seven days. Please enter the dungeon within seven days, otherwise the dungeon will be closed and inaccessible."

Battle of Fuping!

Li Qian had some understanding of this battle.

In 1127 AD, the Jin army captured Kaifeng City and destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty.

Jin general Wanyan Loushi began to lead his troops to invade Shaanxi, and successively captured Chang'an, Fengxiang, Shaanxi, Hua, Long, Qin and other prefectures and states. The leader of the righteous army, Li Yanxian, died heroically, and the famous general Wu Jie was defeated by Wanyan Loushi.

In July 1130, Zhang Jun, the northwest commander of the Southern Song Dynasty, ordered Zhao Zhe to recapture Fuzhou and Wu Jie to recapture Yongxing Army. The remaining prefectures and counties successively surrendered to the Southern Song Dynasty.

Wanyan Loushi, who was in the northwest battlefield of the Jin Dynasty, asked Jin Taizong for reinforcements. Jin Taizong specially ordered the third prince Wanyan Zongfu, the right deputy marshal, to be the commander of the northwest, and transferred the fourth prince Wanyan Zongbing, also known as Jin Wushu, who failed in the southward expedition, to lead the army to the northwest, making Wanyan Zongfu the commander, and Wanyan Loushi and Jin Wushu as deputies, planning to seize the entire Guanlong.

After Jin Wushu's army arrived at Guanlong, they stationed in Xiagui County, which was adjacent to Fuping, about eighty miles away from Fuping, where the Song army was stationed.

With the addition of Jin Wushu's army to Wanyan Loushi's army, the Jin Dynasty had about 60,000 to 70,000 troops deployed in the Battle of Fuping.

On the Southern Song side, the commander Zhang Jun learned that the main force of the Jin army led by Jin Wushu had entered the Guanlong battlefield and believed that the time for a decisive battle had come. Therefore, he appointed Liu Xi, the governor of Xihe Road, as the commander-in-chief and led five armies including Liu Qi, the governor of Jingyuan Road, Sun Wo, the governor of Qinfeng Road, Zhao Zhe, Wu Jie and others, with a total of 18 infantry and cavalry, claiming to be an army of 40. They gathered in the Fuping area of ​​Yaozhou in the Guanzhong Plain. Zhang Jun personally stayed in Bingzhou to supervise the battle.

The final result was that the 18 Song troops were defeated by the 6-7 Jin troops, who launched a massive attack and occupied a large amount of Southern Song territory. If it were not for the Southern Song generals such as Wu Jie and Wu Lin who grew up and used the dangerous terrain of Longnan and Hanzhong to prevent the Jurchen cavalry from moving south, the Southern Song might not have survived the rise of Mongolia and would have been destroyed by the Jurchen cavalry using the Mongolian roundabout tactics.

"The Jurchen cavalry at their peak were so terrifying."

Li Qian thought about the fact that the Jurchen cavalry had only 18 to people, but they actually destroyed Southern Song troops. He couldn't help but repeatedly sigh at the terrifying combat effectiveness of the Jurchen cavalry at its peak.

At its peak, the Jin army had two elite cavalry units, the Crooked Horse and the Iron Pagoda, and was almost invincible. It crushed the Liao and Song armies. The Northern Song Dynasty was easily destroyed by the Jin army, and countless Northern Song generals were eliminated by the Jurchen cavalry.

In the Battle of Fuping, the Song army had many famous generals, but was still defeated by the Jurchen cavalry.

Before the rise of Yue Fei's army and the decline of the first generation of Jurchen cavalry, it was no exaggeration to say that the Jurchens were invincible.

In their heyday, the Crooked Horse and the Iron Pagoda were indeed unstoppable.

Logically speaking, Li Qian was more inclined to join the Southern Song army and compete with the Jin Dynasty's Crooked Horses and Iron Pagodas.

However, the final result of the Battle of Fuping was that the Jin Army won, which shows that the Jin Army's combat effectiveness was stronger than that of the Song Army. Especially in terrain like Fuping, the Jin Army seemed to be able to better utilize the advantages of its cavalry.

Simple difficulty, the strength of the Jin army camp remains unchanged, and the rewards for clearing the level remain unchanged.

Normal difficulty: Jin army camp strength +15%, soldiers' combat power +15%.

In difficult difficulty, Jin army camp strength is increased by 25%, soldiers' combat power is increased by 25%, and Jin army general level is increased from level 100 to level 105.

Epic difficulty: Jin army’s strength +50%, soldiers’ combat power +50%, Jin army generals’ level increased from 100 to 110.

In Purgatory difficulty, the Jin army's strength is increased by 100%, the Jin army's troops mutate, and the Jin army's generals become demonized.

The difficulty level of the Battle of Fuping is the same as that of the Battle of Xiangji Temple, both are divided into five levels of difficulty, with increasing difficulty.

Although the Jin army in the Battle of Fuping had only about 6 to 7 troops, under the Purgatory difficulty, the Jin army became 12 to 14, which is less than the 18 Song army.

However, this group of Jin troops was the army of the Jin Dynasty at its peak period. The combat effectiveness of the Crooked Horse and Iron Pagoda was extremely fierce. The Jin Dynasty also had many famous and fierce generals. Such a vigorous Jin army was not easy to deal with.

Moreover, in the Battle of Fuping, he could only lead 2 military advisors, 8 generals, and 8000 soldiers and horses at most, which was less than the number of troops he could bring in the Battle of Xiangji Temple.

How to choose the difficulty of the Battle of Fuping is a difficult problem.

If the difficulty is too high, then he will join the Southern Song army with 8000 soldiers, and will face the one-sided massacre of the Jin Army's Iron Pagoda.

If the difficulty is too low, the reward will be less.

After much consideration, Li Qian decided to exclude the most difficult level, Purgatory, and the easiest levels, Simple and Normal.

Then you only have to choose between difficult difficulty and historical difficulty.

"Why not challenge the historical difficulty?"

Li Qian challenged a difficult level last time, maybe he can challenge a higher level this time.
