"Kill!"
"Kill …"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! "
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! "
“.....”
Deafening battle cries could be heard coming from all around Wen Xi City. A large number of soldiers were climbing up the city walls on all four sides using the most primitive of wooden ladders.
After arriving at Wen Xi City this time, Yang Rui had also challenged the city guards to a duel as usual. However, the city guards obviously did not buy it and did not give him a direct answer. Yang Rui naturally could not wait any longer and immediately launched an attack on the city.
Originally, the strength of the eighteen cities in the simulation was not too different. With the strength of the two cities under Yang Rui's control, it was naturally possible to storm Wen Xi City. Wen Xi City had just reached the scale of a basic city and its defense was also as backward as the other cities.
As such, the city guards mostly relied on the obstruction of the city walls and the long-range attacks of the archers. As long as they could tear open a hole and take down one of the city gates, the rest would not be too difficult.
Yang Rui gathered five of his strongest generals, including himself, and charged towards a side of the city wall that was close to the mountain. The height difference between the city wall and the mountain was the smallest, and the archers of Yang Rui's troops could even shoot at the defenders from a higher elevation position.
Being able to shoot at each other meant that they could suppress the city guards, especially when Yang Rui had moved most of his long-range archers to the direction of the mountain. The attacking troops could already suppress the city guards on the city walls, providing the best conditions for Yang Rui's five generals to attack the city.
As for the other three city walls, they were only feints. They were led by the remaining three generals of the two cities to restrain the city guards and disperse the strength of the city guards in all directions. They did not really attack with all their might.
The city guards did not seem to have expected Yang Rui to make such arrangements. Not long after the two sides started fighting, Yang Rui's generals had already climbed up the city walls on the side of the mountain and opened the city gate on this side without much effort.
With one of the city gates lost, the difference in strength between the two sides was huge. The situation of Wen Xi City's attack and defense was clear. The whole process took less than an hour, and Yang Rui's troops had already controlled most of the corners of Wen Xi City.
In reality, it was because when Yang Rui's troops broke into half of the city, the four generals in the city had basically given up on resisting. Instead, they first arranged for the NPC citizens to hide in their houses and retract their troops to buy time for the Liegeman to hide.
Yang Rui was curious as to why they did this instead of directly surrendering. In reality, the other side should have known that their defeat was irreversible.
"General Blazing Sun, we are willing to surrender. Our lives and deaths are at your disposal. I only hope that the citizens of the city will not suffer …"
After the situation was more or less settled, the commander of the Wen Xi City guards surrendered to Yang Rui.
Originally, Yang Rui did not understand why the other side was willing to surrender, so Yang Rui accepted. He immediately started to clean up the battlefield, especially the dropped quest gift boxes.
Later on, when the Resourceful Strategist explained in a low voice, Yang Rui found out that the City Lord of Wen Xi City was called "Lord Clear Sky". He was a City Lord who was very considerate of the citizens. That was why he made such a strange arrangement with the NPC Liegeman in the city.
It turned out that he had met a City Lord who was as kind as Liu Big-eared. Yang Rui looked at this City Lord who was called "Lord Clear Sky" for a while. He then stopped investigating whether the City Lord was really as he said. He turned to clean up the battlefield as he prepared for the next battle.
In the battle of Wen Xi City, Yang Rui had obtained a total of almost 4000 quest gift boxes. This was also in line with the fact that the city had lost almost 40000 soldiers. Yang Rui's side had also lost about the same number of soldiers.
Before Yang Rui could open many quest gift boxes, the various generals had already finished reorganizing their troops inside and outside Wen Xi City. They were ready to obey orders and move to the next city at any time.
At this time, it was already time for dinner. Yang Rui was also in high spirits from opening the gift boxes. Thus, he ordered his subordinates to cook and rest for a while. Yang Rui himself continued to open the gift boxes.
After the time it took to eat a meal, Yang Rui had already opened all the gift boxes he had obtained. Among the 4000 gift boxes, there were more than 420. The gift boxes contained Silver-tier and above soul type items. Among them, there were 25 Violet-Gold tier soul type items. There were also more than 100 Gold-Tier soul type items. Yang Rui's luck seemed to have improved again.
In his heart, he once again compared the rewards he had obtained from the two Great Escape Battles. Yang Rui was quite satisfied. With this as motivation, Yang Rui once again led his troops to the next nearest city.
At this moment, there were still fourteen to fourteen hours left before the Quest Gift Boxes ended. At the rate they were progressing, it was still possible for them to take down a few more cities and annex a few more factions. If they could combine the annexation process with the Quest Gift Boxes, it would be the most cost-effective.
Yang Rui saw this point. Thus, he rushed to the various cities without stopping to take a break. He was eager to take the opportunity to complete the second phase of the quest.
After advancing through the scenario, Yang Rui led his troops to the next city. It was Jade Faced Dragon's Caiyi City. What Yang Rui did not expect was that when they arrived, Jade Faced Dragon was already waiting for them outside the city with another commander who looked like a military advisor.
It turned out that Jade Faced Dragon was the city lord of Caiyi City. After losing to Yang Rui in a duel and returning to the city, Jade Faced Dragon had explained the situation to a group of officers and formed a plan. This was why he had come out of the city early to welcome Yang Rui.
Jade Faced Dragon and the others had originally planned to act according to the development of the situation, restricting each other with the nearby cities to maintain the previous situation. However, the situation developed too quickly, surpassing Caiyi City's expectations. When they learned that Yang Rui had taken two cities in a row and brought an army over, Jade Faced Dragon and the others chose to compromise.
This decision caused Yang Rui's forces in the simulation to soar once more. Soon, they moved on to the next closest city, which was the last of the four factions that had attacked Tanbu City — Stone Spring City.
This faction had retreated at the sight of the battle, not daring to accept Yang Rui's duel. However, when Yang Rui's army pressed on, the city chose to put up a final resistance. Another frontal siege and defense battle erupted.
Stone Spring City's strength was not much different from the other cities. Although it chose to resist, under Yang Rui's absolute advantage in terms of military strength, especially in terms of generals, they were quickly defeated. All they did was give Yang Rui 5,000 quest gift boxes.
