After Yang Rui's troops took down the Yuan Family County City, Yuan Shao and his subordinates all panicked when they heard the news. It must be known that the Yuan Family County City wasn't that far from the Lunu County City.
Under such circumstances, Yuan Shao and his subordinates, sons and son-in-laws all panicked. They hurriedly mobilized their forces from all directions to stop Yang Rui's troops from the west. In their panic, they also decided on a location — — Jiumen County City, which was also the place Yang Rui's troops had to pass through.
Actually, at this time, the situation in Lunu County City wasn't good either. The temperature had been rising for the past few days, and the ice sand walls that had been raised and reinforced were showing signs of collapsing. At this time, Yuan Shao was organizing a group of people to dismantle the walls.
There was only one thing that Lunu City had an advantage over the other fortified cities. Because Yuan Shao resided in the city, there were many soldiers stationed in the city as well. That was why when the city was first raised and fortified, the four gates weren't completely sealed off like the other cities.
This also made it easier for Yuan Shao's troops to enter and exit the city, and clean up the walls. At the same time, with enough time to prepare, the remaining three Lunu County City, Anxi County City, and Hanchang County City were all fortified by Yuan Shao into similar structures.
On the other hand, Yuan Shao was a bit panicked. He hurriedly ordered the nearby Chang Shan Country, Zhongshan Country, and the other countries to gather at Jiumen County City. At the same time, he also ordered all the cities that Yang Rui hadn't taken down along the way to harass Yang Rui's troops and supplies. It could be said that he was going all out.
However, Yuan Shao's movements were all seen by Yang Rui's Ethereal Ninja Division soldiers and flying pet units, and they quickly gathered in Yang Rui's hands.
It could be said that when Yuan Shao mobilized his troops, he didn't forget about Yang Rui's powerful information gathering ability. However, in the current situation, Yuan Shao didn't have any other ideas.
The movements of Yuan Shao's troops were all discovered by Yang Rui. Apart from preparing the necessary defenses, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun's mobility immediately became apparent. Waves of attacks and attacks were launched in Chang Shan Country, Zhongshan Country, Julu County, and the other regions.
Oftentimes, when Yuan Shao's troops had just received their orders, not long after they set out from the nearby cities, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun's troops had already caught up to them, or directly blocked their path. It was inevitable that they would be defeated after a fierce battle.
Even some of the further Yuan Shao's troops in Hejian County and Anping Country were blocked by the Imperial Cavalry while they were being panicked by Yuan Shao's troops. It could be seen how uneasy and distressed Yuan Shao was at this moment.
In reality, Yang Rui was only using the information channels in his hands to make use of the cavalry to the greatest extent. He was able to distinguish the distance and the direction of the marching path to block most of Yuan Shao's troops. This gave the feeling that Yang Rui's cavalry was everywhere.
In reality, because the surroundings were all Yuan Shao's cities that he hadn't taken down yet, Yang Rui couldn't completely stop Yuan Shao's troops. It was also difficult to completely stop them from converging on Jiuyang County.
Moreover, based on the speed at which Yuan Shao's troops were gathering, if Yang Rui's western troops wanted to attack Yuan Shao's Lunu County City, it was almost impossible for them to pass through Jiuyang County City before Yuan Shao's troops gathered.
Of course, Yang Rui could choose to change his attack path to avoid Jiuyang County, or he could change his attack method and choose to fight steadily and surely. He would first stabilize the rear and then temporarily delay the clash with Yuan Shao's troops.
However, Yang Rui didn't choose to do so. Instead, he continued to lead the western troops toward Lunu County City. It was inevitable that they would clash with Jiuyang County City's Yuan Shao's troops.
It wasn't that Yang Rui was in a hurry to attack Yuan Shao's Lunu County City. Instead, he wanted to engage in a decisive battle with Yuan Shao's troops within Jiuyang County City and eliminate as much of their strength as possible.
At this time, Yang Rui's two armies had already taken down six of Yuan Shao's ten fortified cities. Only Lunu County City, Anxi County City, Hanchang County City, and Hejian County City's Lecheng County City had yet to be taken down.
However, they had already missed the best time to attack. The main reason was that the temperature was rising too quickly. Moreover, according to the information from the Ethereal Ninja and the flying pet units, Yuan Shao's remaining cities were already prepared. Using ice to attack the cities wasn't necessarily going to work.
After discussing with Guo Jia and the others, Yang Rui decided to change the method of attacking Yuan Shao. While stabilizing the cities they had already taken, they would slowly and surely push deeper into Yuan Shao's territory. They would need an opportunity to engage in a decisive battle with Yuan Shao's main force. Thus, they stopped using ice to attack.
The current situation where Yuan Shao's troops were randomly attacking Yang Rui's troops was an excellent opportunity. According to the direction of the enemy's troops, Yang Rui and Guo Jia guessed that there would definitely be an ambush. This was the perfect opportunity to engage in a decisive battle.
Of course, the enemy's troops could also be gathered in Jiumen County to defend Lunu City. In that case, it would also be an opportunity for them to engage in a decisive battle. However, the location would be changed from Jiumen County to Lunu City, directly attacking Yuan Shao's core territory.
Actually, in this situation, if Yuan Shao had enough courage and boldness, attacking Yang Rui's territories along the way would be the best way to completely solve the problem. After all, Yang Rui's troops in the cities and territories in the southern region of Jizhou were very limited.
When the time came, Yuan Shao would only need to defend one city or deal with Yang Rui in the remaining northern region of Jizhou. When Yang Rui's territory in the southern region of Jizhou started to weaken or become unstable, that would be the best time to counterattack or force his troops to retreat.
It would be very difficult to defeat Yang Rui. After all, compared to Yuan Shao's forces, Yuan Shao was already at a disadvantage. However, it was still possible to force Yang Rui to retreat.
"Dong! Dong! Dong! "
“.....”
Within Jiumen County, Yang Rui's troops got into formation. The Violet-Gold Equipment, Golden Rhino War Drum, Soul Thunder Shaking the Heavens, raised the morale of the troops once again. The additional skill, Cheer, had also been activated. Yang Rui's troops' morale had doubled again.
Yang Rui had obtained this war drum for a long time and had been using it all the time. Even if Yang Rui had similar equipment with higher attributes, it could not hide the usefulness of this drum.
