Taishi Ci and his navy had already arrived at Chaohu Lake to the northeast of Shuxian County. The Golden Harriers and Flame Falcons were also heading towards Shuxian County.
Departing from Chaohu Lake was actually closer to Hefei County. However, Shuxian County was Liu Bei's base. Liu Bei's army had yet to arrive at Hefei County and could not concentrate on attacking.
Just like how the US used Tomahawk cruise missiles to attack the Central Asian countries from the Gulf of Aden in reality, Yang Rui and the others had planned to attack Shuxian County from the Nest Lake. In fact, they had already done detailed ranging and flight tests.
Shuxian County was only twenty kilometers away from Chaohu Lake in real life. After many tests in the game, both the Flame Falcons and Golden Harriers could make a round trip. However, this was already close to the limit of their flight.
Of course, even if the two flying pets could not make a round trip, they could still make a long distance attack. However, it would not be as convenient as a round trip.
As Liu Bei had made a lot of preparations in advance, Taishi Ci's fleet filled with flying pets and 'aerial bombs' had also been deployed upstream of Yangzhou. This ensured that the operation would proceed normally.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh … "
"Phew! Pfft … pfft … "
"… …"
The Flame Falcon and the Golden Harrier set off from the boat in the Nest Lake at daybreak. After an hour of flying, the two types of pets had already appeared in the sky above Shu County Town. Waves of special sounds rang out, and the entire Shu County Town was on fire.
Liu Bei's troops were quickly alarmed by the familiar sound of the 'aerial bomb'. They had been attacked many times in Guangling and were very sensitive to this kind of attack.
However, Liu Bei's troops had not prepared any fire prevention measures in Shuxian County. Faced with the rain of 'aerial bombs', the remaining Liu Bei's troops could not do anything other than run away.
A day ago, the ones who left Shuxian County to attack Hefei County were Zhang Fei and his troops. When Shuxian County was attacked, Liu Bei was in the city and had no choice but to run away.
"Quick! Quick! Inform Yide. Tell him that Blazing Sun's troops might be nearby. Tell him to be on guard! "
When Liu Bei rushed out of Shuxian County, the first thing he thought about was the safety of Zhang Fei and his troops. That was all of his elite troops. Liu Bei could not care about anything else and shouted for the horses to pass on the message.
Even though Liu Bei's speed was not slow, the entire Shuxian County had already been engulfed by the sea of fire. Only 30% to 40% of his troops had managed to escape. Less than 10% of the NPC Liegeman in the city had survived.
Liu Bei was already fuming with rage. However, the thing that made him even angrier was a folk song that was secretly passed around by the players while he was assisting in the transfer of the NPC Liegeman.
“
Big-eared Liu.
Big-eared Liu.
As soon as he entered Shu County, the root of the disaster came.
His arms were like apes wrapped in misfortune.
When the palm reaches the knee, the people are unable to comply.
In the end, he would suffer miserably from the fire!
… "
No matter when, where there were battles, there would always be casualties. When the nest is overturned, no egg will remain intact. The civilians would definitely be the ones who suffered the most. Yang Rui naturally knew about the tragedy that would happen if Shuxian County was burned down.
However, Yang Rui was not a hypocrite. In order to deal a heavy blow to Liu Bei, he wanted to prevent more disasters and more sacrifices. Some sacrifices were inevitable. Moreover, Yang Rui had also made preparations for this.
The folk song that Liu Bei heard was also made up by Cheng Yu under Yang Rui's instructions. After that, he had the Ethereal Ninja secretly spread it out. Right now, the situation in front of him proved that.
In fact, this was not the only folk song. Cheng Yu had even prepared another folk song for the surviving NPC Liegeman. He had also spread it out in advance through the Ethereal Ninja.
“
Karmic fire from the sky,
Burning the Lius to the west,
Stealing the idle lives from the east,
Every water has its own nest.
… "
Different from the previous folk song, this folk song had also prepared some mysterious annotations. It stated that there was a great opportunity in the Chaohu Lake in the east. If one wanted to live a peaceful life, one would need to rush to the Chaohu Lake in two game days.
The NPC Liegeman in Shuxian County was attacked by Yang Rui's flying pet and 'aerial bomb' for the first time. Moreover, the two folk songs had already been spread out. It was impossible for the Liegeman not to believe it. Therefore, after the folk songs were spread even more widely, most of the survivors chose to believe it.
Seeing that most of the remaining NPC Liegeman were heading east towards the Chaohu Lake, Liu Bei had some guesses after hearing the two folk songs. However, it was difficult to change the hearts of the people in such a short period of time. Liu Bei could only let the survivors go.
After a short period of consideration, Liu Bei led the few remaining troops in the direction of Hefei County. They were prepared to try and catch up with Zhang Fei and his troops.
Currently, Zhang Fei's troops had already reached the vicinity of Hefei County. Only then did he spread out his troops and surrounded Hefei County. Furthermore, he had already launched a round of attacks.
As a result, Zhang Fei and his troops had also gathered together. They could already use their flying pets to attack from the air. At this moment, the key was whether Liu Bei's news would arrive first or the Flame Falcon and Golden Harrier would arrive first.
After all, the two pets were already at their limit from the Chaohu Lake to Shuxian County. They would need to rest for a while before they could attack again. This would take at least half a day.
On the other hand, Liu Bei would also need half a day to reach Hefei County. It seemed like it would depend on who was faster.
Currently, Yang Rui had already stepped onto the Hulao Pass checkpoint. The imperial guards were at the side, reporting to Yang Rui the news from various places.
"Reporting to Milord. The Governor of Ji Province, Yuan Shao, had already tried to cross the Yellow River many times. However, he was discovered by General Gan Ning's navy in time and was blocked. He had also sunk dozens of the enemy's ships and had over a thousand soldiers.
However, Yuan Shao's crossing locations were very wide. Although General Gan Ning's navy has many ships, it would still be difficult to completely seal off the Yellow River. After a long period of confrontation, Yuan Shao would inevitably be able to take advantage of a gap. "
The Imperial Guards gave Yang Rui a general introduction of the movements of Yuan Shao's troops. Before this, he had already reported the situation of the other four troops to Yang Rui. The current situation could be said to be like smoke rising from all directions.
In truth, only five troops had joined the alliance. This was out of Yang Rui's expectations. He felt that the number of warlords opposing him was not as many as he had imagined. There were also Chen Gong and Lu Bu's remaining forces that had not made any moves.
