According to the investigation of the Imperial Lodge Kanbing, the Yuan Shao tunnel that Xu You's troops dug had a total of three exits within Lunu City. They were all in the houses near the barracks. The exits of the three tunnels were within 30 meters of each other, with each of them being about 10 meters apart.
The reason why Yuan Shao's troops set up the exits in such a way was probably so that they could quickly mobilize their troops into the tunnels. The tunnels connected by the three exits were almost parallel, and they only converged about five to six li away from the city.
After converging, the tunnels weren't one-way. Instead, there were all sorts of detours and nodes around the main road for soldiers to hide or defend. The structure was extremely complicated.
This time, the investigation of the Imperial Guards also confirmed what Xu You had said before about the situation of Yuan Shao's tunnel being connected to the underground river. It could be explained why Yang Rui's water attack outside the southern gate did not work.
According to the investigation of the Imperial Guards, the tunnel at the west gate of the Lunu Prefecture City was able to hold 2 to 3 thousand troops. The number of Yuan Shao's troops that were stationed there on a daily basis was also over 1000. It would be extremely difficult to silently pass through.
Hence, the best method was to let Dragon Soul and the other player organizations control the three exits. They could even work together to clear out the Yuan Shao's troops that were stationed there on a daily basis. This way, they could secretly move more troops into the city.
Then, they could choose the closest west gate of the Lunu Prefecture City and control it. As long as they could control the exit, the rest of the matter wouldn't be too difficult.
However, the density of Yuan Shao's troops within the Lunu Prefecture City was extremely high. It would be extremely difficult to achieve this goal with limited troops. Hence, they needed to create an even more complicated environment to confuse the Lunu Prefecture City's defenders.
Furthermore, with Yang Rui's current aerial fire attacks, ladders, and crossbows, it was obviously not enough to make all of the Lunu Prefecture City's defenders move and attract most of their attention.
While Yang Rui ordered his soldiers to continuously create aerial bombs and scaling ladders, he was also waiting for Zhang Ning's arrival. The might of her [Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain] was something that aerial bombs could not compare to. Perhaps she did not even need to attack through the underground tunnels to make Lu Nu and Yuan Shao unable to hold on.
Of course, nothing was absolute. Regardless of whether Zhang Ning's Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain attack would work or not, attacking Lunu County City through the underground tunnel was also an effective option. After Yang Rui, Guo Jia, Xu You, and the others discussed in detail, they informed Trace Dragon Soul of their initial intention to attack the city and asked him to prepare to communicate with the players in the city in advance.
Zhang Ning had not yet reached Lunu County and was still on the way. However, the news of Liu Biao continuing to send troops had arrived. After a few days of inaction, the three armies once again sent troops towards Yuzhou.
This did not mean that Liu Biao's messengers had successfully contacted Liu Dan. Actually, Liu Biao had his own reasons for sending messengers. He had held back the three armies to prepare for any eventuality and sent messengers to buy time.
During the few days when the messengers were not able to meet with Liu Dan, Liu Biao had already mobilized a large number of troops to strengthen the defense. Although they were not able to communicate with Liu Dan, Liu Biao was confident in his own defense.
At the same time, Liu Biao was not a simple person. When Liu Dan sent his troops to intimidate, Liu Biao thought of communicating with Liu Zhang. Moreover, he was able to establish contact with Liu Zhang and reached a deal with him. This was the reason why he had the confidence to attack Yuzhou again.
However, Zhang Ning's arrival did not delay for too long. After another two days, Zhang Ning had arrived at Yang Rui's camp on a modified boat. From start to finish, she had already arrived at Yang Rui's camp. From start to finish, she had already arrived at Yang Rui's camp.
If it was not for the fact that Zhang Ning's body was still weak from her second pregnancy, she could have used a flying pet to shorten the time she took to arrive. However, Yang Rui did not allow her to do so.
Although Yang Rui was anxious to attack Lunu County, he was not anxious to that extent. Moreover, during these six to seven days, Yang Rui had also been preparing aerial bombs, assault vehicles and other siege weapons. These were all important factors in the siege.
By the time Zhang Ning arrived at Yang Rui's camp, Yang Rui had already accumulated more than 50 assault vehicles and a large number of aerial bombs. Moreover, he had not stopped attacking Lunu County. Wave after wave of flying pets had not stopped firing bombs. Moreover, he would also send in more and more assault vehicles to fire at Lunu County.
This caused Yuan Shao's troops in Lunu County City to be unusually anxious. This was especially true for Yuan Shao himself. Although he knew that these methods wouldn't cause much of a threat, his mood wasn't very good and he would often fly into a rage.
In fact, Yuan Shao also understood the importance of the morale of his troops. However, he was unable to control his emotions during critical moments. This was especially true after he was angered by Yang Rui. Yuan Shao's temperament had become even more fiery and his ability to control himself had decreased a lot.
"Zzzzz … zzzzz … boom boom …"
“.....”
After Zhang Ning arrived, Yang Rui knew that the battle for Lunu County had reached the most crucial moment. He could not wait to use all of his methods and directly attack Yuan Shao's lair. However, before that, he still arranged for Zhang Ning to launch a test attack.
"Zzzzz … zzzzz … boom boom …"
“.....”
On top of the flying pet unit, Zhang Ning used Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain. It was not like when she used the Flying Carpet, which could not change its path. Instead, she could change the direction of her flying pet at any time. Yang Rui also rode on his flying pet and flew to the side.
The fist-sized Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain fell like raindrops towards Yuan Shao's lair, Lunu County City. It was as if the city would be turned into a sea of fire in the next moment. This kind of situation had happened before.
However, right at this critical moment, an empty voice sounded in the hearts of many people inside and outside of Lunu City. Mortals couldn't hear it. Immediately afterwards, a milky white hemispherical rain barrier enveloped the entire Lunu City. The rain of fire struck the barrier like rain hitting a banana leaf, waves of trembling could be heard, but it was unable to penetrate the barrier in the slightest!
It was another defensive formation! Just like when Yang Rui had attacked Luoyang Royal City, a defensive magic array had appeared above Luoyang County City. It would appear that this defensive magic array was on the same level as the magic array Cao Cao had placed over Luoyang Royal City.
Zhang Ning and Yang Rui, who were in the middle of casting Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain, looked at each other. They didn't expect such a situation to occur. Zhang Ning's flying pet's targets were the city walls and the military tents. He didn't expect the entire Lunu City to be covered by a formation.
