The timing of Yang Rui's order was rather subtle. He chose the time when the Wo Nation's front army was completely wiped out and the battlefield had yet to be cleaned up. Although it seemed reasonable on the surface, it was not too early or too late.
In fact, Yang Rui could have sent out his troops earlier after establishing his advantage. At the very least, he could have sent out the North Gate, which was the first to clean up the Wo Nation's troops. This would not have affected the battle below the city.
At the same time, Yang Rui could have sent out his troops after cleaning up the battlefield. At this time, the Wo Nation's troops had already fled for half an hour and had missed the best time to chase after them. Even if he delayed the chase, the result would not be too different.
In addition, cleaning up the battlefield had many benefits. Although most of the credit went to Yang Rui's troops, horses, and ships, the troops of the three countries in the city had all participated in the defense of the city, so it was not too much to ask for some benefits.
Needless to say, Yang Rui's intention was similar to Wako Uesugi's before. He wanted to use Wako Uesugi to weaken the forces of the vassal states' troops. At the same time, he also wanted to give Wako Uesugi some merit points and points.
The current situation of the war between the three countries and the Wo Nation was already within control. As long as Yang Rui wanted to, he could withdraw from the war at any time. The outcome of the war was almost completely in his and Wako Uesugi's hands.
If not for this situation, Yang Rui would not have taken the initiative to push out Zhang He, Ji Ling, and the other troops so easily and affect the outcome of the war between the two countries.
When the third large-scale system storyline in the Wo Nation's region was activated, Yang Rui had already thought that the arrival of the third large-scale system storyline in the other regions, including the three countries, would not be delayed for too long.
Therefore, Yang Rui needed to withdraw from the country war storyline in time and prepare for the third large-scale system storyline. At the same time, he needed to 'take care' of Zhang He, Feng Ji, Ji Ling, and the other vassal states' troops.
Only the existence of the special relationship between Yang Rui and the Uesugi boy could make full use of the plot, achieve tacit cooperation with each other, and take what they needed.
Putting aside the 500,000 troops of Zhang He and Ji Ling chasing after Wako Uesugi, Yang Rui gave Dragon Soul and the other players a small area outside the east gate...................
Dragon Soul, Burning Snow, and the other players didn't contribute much to the defense of the city. They were already satisfied to be given a small area of the battlefield by Yang Rui to clean up. Yang Rui couldn't possibly give the players too many benefits for no reason.
After an hour, Yang Rui's troops had cleaned up the battlefield of the national war. They had reaped a great harvest.
The previous battle might not have lasted for a long time, but the number of enemies that Yang Rui had wiped out was the highest among all the battles that he had ever participated in. Under the powerful assault of the fortress ships, more than four hundred thousand Wo soldiers had fallen to the city!
Such a number might not be unprecedented, but it was definitely unprecedented. Even though most of these Wo soldiers were Fourth Grade soldiers, they had still provided over thirteen million merit points and credits for the war.
Due to the ship's powerful attacking ability, Yang Rui had obtained most of the points, earning him over 11.5 million Nation War Contribution Points and Contribution Points. In fact, it was almost catching up to what Yang Rui had accumulated in the previous Nation War.
In addition to the bonuses provided by the other forces due to Yang Rui's identity as the Viceroy of the War, Yang Rui obtained another four hundred thousand merit points and points. One could say that this battle was a feast for Yang Rui to obtain more merit points and points!
Such a feast was the result of Wako Uesugi and Yang Rui's tacit cooperation. It was also the result of the overwhelming offensive capabilities of the forty-five fortress ships, as well as the design of the national war city that was suited for the fortress ships from the very beginning. It could not be replicated under any other circumstances.
Apart from the massive amount of merit points and points, Yang Rui also obtained more than fifty thousand Soldier Upgrade Skill Books, two hundred thousand gold coins, a hundred thousand kilograms of food, and a large number of weapons, armor, and other miscellaneous equipment.
Yang Rui didn't keep track of the exact number of items. However, even though the items dropped by the Wo soldiers weren't particularly high-grade, it was still a sizable fortune when there were tens of thousands of them.
Yang Rui didn't intend to dispose of these items and equipment. He could simply toss them to Wako Uesugi and let the kid equip his subordinates. The rarer or more valuable items could also be put up for auction at the major auction houses.
The items that Yang Rui left for the players on the battlefield weren't even one-twentieth of the total. However, the players had already gained quite a lot. Moreover, they also had a new understanding of Yang Rui and were shocked by the performance of the forty-five fortress ships.
If the game's built-in forum was open, all kinds of news about Yang Rui would have been flying around. Fortunately, the forum was closed during the plot period. What's more, the communication method could only be used in the most primitive way. The other channels were almost completely closed.
Putting aside the huge reaction among the players of the three countries, after Yang Rui sent out Zhang He and Ji Ling's troops, Yang Rui sent out half of the aerial reconnaissance units and ordered each of them to bring a basket of camellia flowers.
At this time, only the camellia flowers bloomed in the Nihon civilization area. Moreover, they were bright red and easy to recognize. This was the attack method that Yang Rui and the kid agreed on when the kid was in the Luo storyline.
Yang Rui ordered the aerial reconnaissance units that carried the camellia flowers. Once they found Wako Uesugi's commander flag (at this time, it was still the Uesugi clan's emblem in the mountains), they would scatter a basket of camellia flowers from the sky to alert Wako Uesugi.
Looking from the sky, it was not difficult to find the position of the Wo Nation's army. Since Shangshan had done it on purpose, the commander's flag was particularly eye-catching.
When several aerial reconnaissance units flew above the kid and scattered the camellia flowers, the kid already knew Yang Rui's intention.
The Wo Nation battalions even thought that the bright red drop on the child's head was a sign. And the child Uesugi took advantage of this to raise the morale of the Wo Nation battalions again.
At this time, Wako Uesugi's army still had more than 800,000 soldiers. Half of them were the forces of the famous families in the Luo camp, and the remaining 400,000 were in the towns behind.
With the strength of Wako Uesugi's army, even if they faced Zhang He and Ji Ling's troops head-on, they still had a huge advantage. Moreover, the kid was prepared in advance!
