Using the Void Crossing Airship, Yang Rui's soul traveled very quickly. Not long after, he arrived at Puyang County City with the Imperial Patrol Guards. He saw Liu Ba, Gao Shun, Wu Anguo, Fu Luo Han, Que Ji and the other guards.
According to the information provided by the generals, after Yuan Shao's troops tried to cross the river several times without success, they actually stopped. They didn't discover any strange movements in the other directions, so it was unknown what they were planning.
The news that the Imperial Patrol and Kongling Ninja received was similar. Yuan Shao had deployed a large number of troops on the northern shore of the Yellow River, no less than two million. It seemed like he had made up his mind, but at this moment, he was biding his time.
Yuan Shao's camp was not too far away from the Yellow River. If Yang Rui's 6000 flying pets were here, they could easily attack the enemy. However, all of the flying pets were above the Nest Lake, so it would take some time to mobilize them.
Furthermore, Yuan Shao had also suffered from fire attacks before. At a glance, it was obvious that the camps under his command had taken into consideration the need for fire prevention. Usually, there would be enough air strikes around the camps. Furthermore, the camps were not connected to each other.
Of course, this wasn't enough. It would only reduce the damage caused by fire attacks, but it couldn't completely eliminate the threat of fire attacks. If a flying pet was here, Yang Rui wouldn't mind putting it to use.
Yang Rui's flying pets were still too few. It was worth mentioning that both the Flame Falcon and the Golden Harrier did not breed after Yang Rui obtained a large number of them. This made Yang Rui's initial expectations become illusory.
Perhaps it was due to the major changes in the environment that caused the Flame Falcon and the Golden Harrier to be unable to breed. It should be known that these two flying pets originally lived in the Outer Realm.
At this time, the Flame Falcon and the Golden Harrier were carrying out their second mission since the beginning of the storyline – an air attack on the troops near Hefei County City led by Zhang Fei. This was also the second time the two flying pets were on the move after resting for more than four hours.
They still took off from the Nest Lake, but the distance that the Flame Falcon and the Golden Harrier needed to fly was reduced by half. The time needed was also reduced by a lot. Overall, the difficulty of the mission was not too high.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh … "
"Bzzz … pfft …"
"Phew! Whoosh! Phew … "
"…"
As the "aerial bombs" were dropped one after another, the scene that happened in Shuxian County reappeared. The "aerial bombs" were ignited in mid-air by the airflow and whizzed toward Zhang Fei and his subordinates outside Hefei County. Piles of flames immediately rose into the air.
In an instant, the battlefield below could be said to be in a complete mess. The scene of the soldiers fleeing in all directions was also reproduced. The garrison troops in Hefei County cheered.
However, just before the aerial bombs were dropped, Zhang Fei and his troops seemed to have received some information at the last moment. The troops on the west side had already begun to retreat, and this trend had gradually spread to the north and south of Hefei County.
In the end, a portion of Zhang Fei's troops managed to disperse in advance. Although they couldn't avoid being harassed by the aerial bombs that followed them like shadows, the casualties were much lower.
Moreover, due to the wilderness, Zhang Fei's troops were routed faster and this had a certain impact on the effectiveness of the aerial attacks.
Even so, Yuan Shu's remaining troops in Hefei County seemed to have received a great boost of morale. After the fire subsided, the troops in the city rushed out of the city to search for Zhang Fei's remaining troops.
Regardless of the effectiveness of Taishi Ci's aerial attacks, the siege of Hefei County had been broken. With the cooperation of Yuan Shu's remaining troops, Zhang Fei's troops who had already suffered heavy losses had nowhere to escape. In the end, Zhang Fei led his remaining troops and retreated to the south.
After two aerial attacks in one day, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei's troops had lost seventy to eighty percent of them. Originally, Yang Rui could not do much to Liu Bei's troops in Guangling Prefecture. Now, after two aerial attacks, Liu Bei's troops were basically defeated.
According to Liu Bei's rough calculations, Liu Bei originally had 120,000 to 30,000 troops. In the end, when he met up with Zhang Fei, he was left with less than 20,000. Moreover, this was a situation where all the elites were lost.
In the first day of the storyline, one of the five alliance troops was basically crippled. Liu Bei and Zhang Fei led the remaining troops and retreated toward the six counties.
In truth, there was also a portion of Yuan Shu's remaining troops in the six counties. Liu Bei and Zhang Fei went there to see if they could open up a city and use it as a place to rest. After all, Liu Bei did not want to give up on the territory that Yuan Shu had left behind.
After the two fire attacks and some small conflicts on the Yellow River, Yang Rui's points rapidly increased. In less than one day, he had already reached three million points.
However, since Yang Rui didn't choose any faction in the prequel, he didn't receive any points. Therefore, Yang Rui only ranked fourth on the leaderboard with more than three million points.
The first two were Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Even Liu Biao had a slight advantage over Yang Rui.
Other than Liu Bei, Liu Biao's troops had the smoothest advance. However, Liu Biao's troops were here for the territory. After crossing the Yi River, they steadily advanced and did not attack Shouchun like the previous time. Liu Biao's troops were not attacking Shouchun.
Liu Biao should also know that Yuan Shu still had a lot of troops remaining. He did not want to be someone else's vanguard. Instead, he wanted to focus on the benefits at hand. In the end, he would work with the other troops to eliminate Yuan Shu's remaining troops.
Yang Rui had also considered this point. Although Yuan Shu's forces were not strong, they would still struggle in a life and death situation. If Yang Rui made his move too early in Yuzhou or Yuan Shu's territories, the remaining forces would become a hindrance.
If they were left to their own devices, the remaining forces of Yuan Shu would become the opponents of the alliance. They would just have to exhaust each other first.
Yang Rui had already planned to quickly obtain a few victories. Now that Yuan Shao had given up on crossing the Yellow River, Yang Rui could only use the moves that he had prepared in advance.
Right now, the secret weapons that Yang Rui was considering using were Huang Wudie and Ukihime Mogami.
Huang Wudie's Butterfly Swordsmen were already full. All of them were female swordsmen. The number of butterflies that she could summon was enough to achieve an unexpected effect.
