Thousands of fireballs fell from the sky and headed straight for the Cao camp. These were the "aerial bombs" dropped by the 60,000 Golden Harriers and Flame Falcons that had arrived at the Yellow River.
For a split second, Xu Huang stared blankly. He had heard of the strange fireball attack in Hulao Pass. Now that he saw the scene before him, he immediately understood what was going on.
As for the sudden retreat of Yang Rui's troops, Xu Huang immediately understood. It was probably to avoid being affected by the fire!
"Scatter and run!"
Although he knew that it would be very difficult to pass down the order, Xu Huang still shouted with all his might. Even in the noisy and chaotic camp, his shout still reached a very wide range.
"Fire! Ah!"
"Save me …"
"Run! Ah … "
"…"
However, how could the Cao soldiers in the camp carry out Xu Huang's order? Numerous huge fireballs descended from the sky. The scene immediately turned into a scene from hell. The Cao soldiers desperately ran for their lives. Bumping into each other and trampling on each other was unavoidable.
Seeing the Cao camp turn into a sea of fire, Yang Rui suddenly sighed. Although the ones struggling in the sea of fire were Cao Cao's troops, they were all from Yanzhou. In other words, they were all from the same civilization.
If he wanted to avoid such a scene, he would have to speed up the progress of the Three Kingdoms Region storyline. This was also why Yang Rui wanted to speed up the storyline.
Yang Rui personally rode the Golden Hawk to the nearby Yellow River to lead the flying pets over. At this moment, he was in the air above the Cao camp. Thus, he was more aware of the situation on the ground.
Due to the fire and darkness, even though the Cao army commanded by Xu Huang and Sima Lang had suffered disastrous losses, the soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the sea of fire scattered in all directions. On the ground, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Yu Jin, Guan Hai and the others were unable to chase after them.
It must be known that the fire didn't just stop within the Cao army's camp. It was quickly spreading to the surrounding areas. At the same time, the remaining 60 large 'aerial bombs' were dropped. Some of them weren't within the Cao army's camp to begin with, so it was inevitable that the surrounding areas would be set ablaze.
At this moment, Yang Rui's soldiers didn't even need to chase after the NPC. They also needed to avoid the spreading fire. They also needed to act as firefighters to prevent the fire from spreading to the NPC's residential area.
No matter what, the effect of the 60 flying pets' aerial attacks was obvious. Yang Rui's troops had achieved a great victory without much effort. Now, all they had to do was to wait for the fire to subside and clean up the battlefield.
Although it was a huge fire, some special items would still be protected by the system. For example, money, blueprints, skill books, and some special items would not be affected by the fire.
Although the fire caused by the 'aerial bombs' was similarly ferocious, the nature of the fire was the most ordinary of flames. It was very different from the fire caused by Zhang Ning's' Divine Flaming Rain '.
Disregarding the current situation of the fire, Yang Rui's flying pet, Golden Hawk, had locked onto a target. Furthermore, using the flying pet's speed and vision advantage, he kept a close watch on the target and chased towards the northeast direction of the fire.
In order to facilitate the transmission of information, Yang Rui summoned five to six flying pets and the soldiers on their backs to accompany him while he chased after them.
The person Yang Rui was keeping a close watch on was Xu Huang. It was precisely because of Xu Huang's shout when the fire first ignited that Yang Rui took note of his existence.
Xu Huang's roar reflected the strength of his mental cultivation technique, and also represented the level of his personal strength. Through Xu Huang's roar, Yang Rui had already confirmed his identity among the crowd.
Thus, Yang Rui had set his sights on Xu Huang. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that his troops were routed to capture him. With regards to a powerful military general like Xu Huang, Yang Rui naturally coveted him. If he was able to capture him, that would naturally be for the best.
Originally, Xu Huang was dressed like a general. Furthermore, he was riding on a horse, making him a rather conspicuous target. In addition, Yang Rui had the vantage point of looking down from his flying pet. Naturally, Xu Huang's every movement could not escape Yang Rui's sight, even under the shroud of night.
After Xu Huang rushed out of the fire's radius, he kept running towards the north. Perhaps he had lost his position due to the fire's influence. It was already night time. Xu Huang was actually running towards the Yellow River.
If Xu Huang didn't change his direction, he would basically be heading straight for the Yellow River where Yang Rui's navy was located. It wouldn't be much different from walking right into a trap. That was because Taishi Ci was among the nearby navy. At that time, if he joined forces with Yang Rui, it wouldn't be too difficult to capture Xu Huang.
Under such circumstances, Yang Rui dispatched one of his flying pets and ordered the soldier on its back to quickly find Taishi Ci above the Yellow River. He then informed the other party of the current situation and ordered the other party to use his flying pet to capture Xu Huang.
From the very beginning, Yang Rui had the idea of capturing Xu Huang. He had immediately sent his two flying pets to his own camp to urgently call for Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Guan Hai, and at least two of the famous historical generals to assist him.
However, at that time, the situation was rather chaotic. Yang Rui had always kept a close eye on Xu Huang's figure. The two flying pets and the soldier responsible for sending the message didn't follow up.
As of now, Yang Rui had already sent out five to six of his flying pets. He hoped that they could quickly find the assisting generals and smoothly guide them over.
Fortunately, after Xu Huang left the area covered in flames, he didn't change his direction at all. Yang Rui's flying pets were also constantly in control of his direction. They were also able to smoothly communicate with each other. Yang Rui believed that it wouldn't be long before they could contact the assisting generals.
However, at this time, Xu Huang seemed to have realized that there was a problem with the route he was taking. Near a stream, he suddenly turned his horse around and began to gallop towards the east.
Yang Rui was on his flying pet's back. Although he lacked a reference point in the night, Yang Rui was still able to grasp the general direction. He was very clear that Xu Huang had turned his horse around and was heading towards Yan County.
Yang Rui had already investigated the fact that Yan County was currently displaying a 'No Battle' sign. If Xu Huang was allowed to smoothly return to Yan County, Yang Rui might lose an exceptional opportunity to capture him.
Most importantly, once Xu Huang changed his direction, even if Taishi Ci or Gao Shun could rush over, they wouldn't be able to catch up to Yang Rui and Xu Huang.
Under such circumstances, Yang Rui urged his Golden Sparrow Hawk to swoop down and directly attack Xu Huang.
