"Fine! Fine! Fine … "
"Hiss Hiss Hiss …"
"Meng De, why don't you stop and have a chat with me?"
"…"
No matter how much Yang Rui shouted, Cao Cao, who was in the midst of the crumbling army, only ran even faster. How could he have the leisure to stop and chat with Yang Rui?
However, even though Cao Cao ran quickly, he could not stop Yang Rui's first echelon of cavalry. Moreover, the cavalry were all under the support of Yu Jin's "Roundabout Assault". Yang Rui's troops were getting closer and closer.
"Fine! Fine! Fine … "
"Hiss Hiss Hiss …"
"You have nowhere else to go, right? Brother Meng De, after my army passes this stream, Brother Meng De has nowhere to go. Why don't you get down from your horse and have a chat? Hahaha … "
Cao Cao and his defeated troops kept running. However, in less than half an hour, Yang Rui and his troops had already forced them into a small valley. Yang Rui shouted again.
The two armies were only separated by a small river that did not reach their knees. With the huge difference in combat strength between the two sides, Yang Rui's troops could crush them in minutes.
Of course, the reason why Yang Rui kept making noises during the pursuit was mostly to create momentum and further pressure on the enemy's routed army.
Yang Rui's true body did not speak much. On the other hand, Yang Rui's doppelganger who was chasing after Yuan Shao's defeated troops was trying to create momentum. He kept shouting and harassing from behind. At the same time, he was trying to hide the fact that he was a doppelganger.
Different from the troops chasing after Cao Cao's defeated troops, the troops chasing after Yuan Shao's troops were mainly infantry. However, Yang Rui's doppelganger and Zhang Liao were also among them.
Zhang Liao, on the other hand, had the support skill 'Crushing Edge Surprise Attack'. Although the number of cavalry troops he brought with him was less than Yang Rui and Yu Jin's group, the role they played in the pursuit was just as sharp.
Most importantly, although Yuan Shao's troops were stronger than Cao Cao's troops, it was mostly in terms of numbers. At this time, Yuan Shao did not have many people around him who could give him advice. Yuan Shao's mentality was also much worse than Cao Cao's.
Therefore, Yang Rui's doppelganger and Zhang Liao led a limited number of cavalry troops to chase after Yuan Shao's defeated troops. They did not encounter any counterattacks.
Of course, it was not entirely because of Yuan Shao's incompetence. Yuan Shao's troops had always maintained a normal retreat formation. They also maintained their reconnaissance of the path ahead and the path behind them. They did not have a perfect grasp of the information from all sides. However, there was a continuation of their previous arrangements that occasionally came into play.
It was also because of this that Yuan Shao's defeated troops happened to discover Dragon Soul and the other player organizations. This was probably the reason why Yuan Shao's defeated troops kept retreating without any counterattacks or obstructions.
In fact, the fact that Yuan Shao's defeated troops were able to discover Dragon Soul and the other large player organizations' six paths to Jizhou was largely due to coincidence. They did not completely rely on their reconnaissance forces.
In the midst of the chaos, although Yuan Shao's reconnaissance forces were still operating, it was already difficult to find Yuan Shao's true location. The channels for information feedback were almost cut off. Yuan Shao's defeated troops were fleeing, and all the information they could receive was from the rear.
If Yuan Shao did not coincidentally send out messengers to gather troops from various places to help, perhaps Yuan Shao would not be aware of the terrible situation they were in.
Under such circumstances, it was easy to imagine the situation of Yuan Shao's defeated troops in the northeast. Yang Rui's doppelganger and the cavalry led by Zhang Liao had very good results. They killed countless Yuan Shao's defeated troops along the way and obtained a large number of plot points.
Before and after the third large-scale system storyline of the Three Kingdoms region, Yang Rui had been busy doing business with Yuan Shu and squeezing out the remaining value. As a result, after the start of the prelude storyline, and even before the official storyline, Yang Rui's plot points were a big duck egg.
The plot points of the prelude storyline were calculated according to the factions in the official storyline. Yang Rui did not have any advantage in this aspect. Therefore, Yang Rui had always been hidden in the plot points rankings. There was no place for him to be found on the rankings.
It was not until after the Excellent Alliance storyline that Yang Rui's plot points slowly increased. When Yang Rui took advantage of the victory and counterattacked, Yang Rui's plot points had quietly jumped to the top of the plot points rankings.
As for the changes in the Storyline Points Leaderboard, only the players were able to see it. There was a group of players who were very focused on the leaderboard out of personal interest.
Other people did not have the time to pay attention to the plot points rankings. For example, people from large player organizations like Dragon Soul were currently immersed in the storyline. As for the NPCs involved like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, they did not have the time to think about other issues. They were completely focused on escaping.
Yuan Shao had originally planned to stop at Liyang City and use it as a stronghold to defend and even counterattack. However, after learning that Dragon Soul and a large number of players had split into six groups and entered Jizhou, Yuan Shao decisively chose to continue retreating to leave more space for himself.
Yuan Shao had even set the balance point of defending and counterattacking in Ye County, or even further north in Handan and Zhao. It could be said that he had gone deep into Jizhou's hinterland.
Right now, Yuan Shao was running without regard for anything. He directly changed his direction to Ye County. The price he paid was giving away large amounts of Jizhou's land. At the same time, a large number of his troops had also fallen along the way.
Unlike Yuan Shao who was focused on escaping, the situation in the northwest where Cao Cao was fleeing was a bit strange.
Yang Rui had clearly forced Cao Cao into a small valley, or rather, a narrow area with bumpkins on all sides. Moreover, the two armies were only separated by a small river.
At this moment, Yang Rui's troops and Cao Cao's defeated troops were already at the edge of the Taihang Mountains. It was very normal for some hills to appear. It seemed that Yang Rui's troops would be able to use the terrain to surround Cao Cao and his troops in the small valley.
However, after a round of fighting, Yang Rui suddenly realized that the 'Cao Cao' that he had locked onto was not Cao Cao at all. He was clearly the most ordinary swordsman soldier. In fact, he was an existence that was no higher than a Fourth Grade soldier!
The fighting was coming to an end. Yang Rui thought to himself that he had still fallen into Cao Cao's trap. The Cao Cao in front of him was a fake. Cao Cao's real body was nowhere to be found.
