When Yang Rui arrived, there were already over 1500 Yellow Scarf Soldiers gathered at the checkpoint of Ao Lai Valley. More Yellow Scarf Soldiers were still on their way! These soldiers were probably the same as the ones Yang Rui saw when he returned to Mountain Town. Most of them were First Grade soldiers, with a few Second Grade soldiers here and there.
Even though the system update had removed the basic detection function, it was still easy to identify the grades of the Yellow Scarf Soldiers. First Grade Yellow Scarf Soldiers mostly had farm tools like shovels and rakes in their hands. Only Second Grade Yellow Scarf Soldiers and above had decent weapons, mostly short spears and short knives in their hands. There were also many different types of weapons!
"My Lord! I, Zhang Tian, believe that if the enemy had not gathered yet, we could have killed our way out of the checkpoint and split up! However, at this time, I'm afraid the timing has been delayed. Moreover, we don't have the advantage in numbers. Taking the initiative to leave the checkpoint will inevitably result in losses! Moreover, we don't know how many reserve soldiers the enemy has left. Therefore, the most reliable option is to defend. My Lord, please give your orders! "
Yang Rui had just arrived at the checkpoint when Zhang Tian, who was in charge of guarding the checkpoint, took the initiative to analyze the situation.
The dark and skinny Zhang Tian sometimes looked simple and honest, but in reality, he was very clever. He had a clear understanding of the situation at the checkpoint.
It was because of this that Yang Rui was assured to let Chi Zhong, Qian Qiang, and Zhang Tian defend this important checkpoint together. On the other hand, Qi Zheng, Li Dong, Sun Bao, and Tian Bao were placed by Yang Rui at Wu Tun Town. After all, the terrain there was not as easy to defend as here in Mountain Town!
Apart from Qi Zheng and the other three Beginner Generals, Yang Rui also stationed Molin, Chen Li, Chen Ping, and a few others at Wu Tun Town. The soldiers they led included 400 Second Grade melee warriors, 24 Third Grade archers (newly promoted), 200 Second Grade archers, and 400 Second Grade melee warriors.
It could be said that most of the Beginner Generals and High Grade soldiers of Mountain Town were stationed by Yang Rui at Wu Tun Town. With such a force, there shouldn't be much of a problem in the short term. Therefore, Yang Rui wasn't too worried.
"Open the gate!"
After observing the situation outside the checkpoint for a while, Yang Rui found that the Yellow Turban Soldiers were all outside the range of the long-range archers at the checkpoint. Moreover, there were still more Yellow Turban Soldiers gathering towards the checkpoint from afar. They were getting denser and denser!
Although the ranks of the Yellow Turban Army were not high, waiting for them to attack would be too passive! If these soldiers gathered to a certain extent, even if they couldn't break through the defense of the checkpoint, if they accumulated to a certain number, there was a chance that they could flood the checkpoint and flatten it!
Instead of letting them gather into a flood, it would be better to give them a chance and let them become a trickle! Therefore, Yang Rui ordered the gate to be opened, luring the Yellow Turban Army outside to charge in and slowly killing the Yellow Turban Army!
"Open the door?!"
This time, the dark, thin, and tall Zhang Tian didn't understand what was going on. He scratched his head in confusion. Chi Zhong, who was standing on the other side of Yang Rui, suddenly looked enlightened. He nodded slightly as if he had thought of something.
"Creak … creak!"
Following Yang Rui's order, the soldiers behind the gate slowly opened the gate.
As soon as the gate of the checkpoint was opened, the bustling and restless Yellow Turban Army soldiers suddenly quieted down and looked at the checkpoint.
The Yellow Turban Army had just risen, so there were very few commanders. Most of them were poor peasants who had gathered together. After a short period of silence, many Yellow Turban Army soldiers shouted and charged!
"Everyone, charge! The gate is open! "
"Charge! Charge in and there will be food! Charge in and there will be women! "
"Ao Hou! Charge … "
All kinds of crazy battle cries rose and fell, echoing in the entire Ao Lai Valley. Ao Lai Valley was not very wide to begin with, and after the Yellow Turban Army's charge, it suddenly felt like a flood peak had erupted, and the mountains were shaking!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh … whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
The first thing that greeted the Yellow Turban Army was a rain of arrows! Yang Rui had stationed the remaining two hundred Second Grade archers at the entrance of Ao Lai Valley. Yang Rui divided them into three groups and took turns shooting at the approaching Yellow Turban Army soldiers.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
"Ah … ah! Ah … "
Most of the Yellow Turban Army soldiers at the front had already fallen to the ground before they were ten steps away from the walls. Even those who were lucky enough to survive were trampled to death by the Yellow Turban Army soldiers behind them!
As more and more Yellow Turban Army soldiers died, the new 'Points' and 'Merit' numbers on Yang Rui's mission panel continued to rise. In just a short while, it had gone from '0' to two digits, and it was still heading towards three digits!
"Ao Hou! Charge! "
However, one had to admit that these Yellow Turban Army soldiers had the courage to fight, even though their Grade was very low. Even as they watched the soldiers at the front fall one by one, the soldiers at the back continued to charge fearlessly!
The bravery of the Yellow Turban Army soldiers was rewarded. As the number of soldiers continued to increase, some of them finally managed to make it past the gates!
However, when they entered the gate of the checkpoint, they found a tall, dark-skinned man standing in the corridor behind the gate with a sword in his hand! This man did not panic in the face of the arrival of the Yellow Turban Army soldiers. He only stood silently on the spot. If one were to look closely, they would find that the corner of his mouth was curled up in disdain.
This man was none other than Beginner General Zhang Tian! At this moment, he had completely understood Yang Rui's intentions. He gripped the machete in his hand tightly and prepared to slaughter!
As such, Zhang Tian couldn't care less about the scattered Yellow Turban Army soldiers. Not to mention, these soldiers were all First and Second Grade, and most of them were injured!
"Ha!"
When the Yellow Turban Army soldiers reached him, Zhang Tian swung the machete in his hand and used the 'Wind Cleaver Slash' special skill!
"Ah!"
"Ugh!"
"… …"
Several cries of pain rang out. Zhang Tian had only used one skill to kill four Yellow Turban Army soldiers. It was clear how powerful this skill was!
No matter how fearless the Yellow Turban Army soldiers were, they were still intimidated by Zhang Tian's special skill. They instinctively stood still and looked at each other. After a while, they charged towards Zhang Tian again.
Knowing that they were going to die, these Yellow Turban Army soldiers charged with all their strength! However, in front of Zhang Tian, it was no different from before. With just another 'Wind Cleaver Slash', several Yellow Turban Army soldiers fell to the ground!
