The effect of Yang Rui's soul skill, Windstorm Shadow Sleeve Arrow, was obvious. It directly killed General Yuan Shaowu, who was blocking the West City Gate, without the slightest hesitation.
Yang Rui could foresee this outcome, but he didn't know the identity of the person who was killed. The system notification that followed caused Yang Rui to be stunned.
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Blazing Sun for killing a Level 2 historical general of the Three Kingdoms region, Yuan Tan. Reputation reward: 2000 points."
Yang Rui didn't think that the general holding the sword on the West City Gate was Yuan Shao's eldest son — — Yuan Tan. If he could recognize the other party's identity, Yang Rui wouldn't have immediately used his ultimate move.
Now that he had killed Yuan Tan in one blow, Yang Rui didn't feel good about it. It wasn't because Yang Rui didn't want to kill Yuan Tan, but because he was Yuan Shao's eldest son.
After all, Yang Rui and Yuan Shao had both been Dukes for a long time. He didn't want to see the Dukes in such a pitiful state. It was fine if they couldn't protect their families, but their families were also badly damaged. Furthermore, Yuan Tan was killed by his own hands.
Of course, Yang Rui just couldn't bear it. Even if Yuan Tan didn't die now, when Yuan Shao was defeated, it would take a lot of manpower and resources to kill him.
Moreover, as a Duke, since he could stand tall in this world, he had to be prepared to be defeated at any time. If he chose to fight for the throne, he would have to face the enemy's arrows.
"Sou! Sou! Sou! "
"Kill! Kill! "
“.....”
The slight discomfort in Yang Rui's heart only lasted for a moment, this didn't affect the soldiers around him from launching an assault on the western city gates after the enemy's main general fell. All types of arrows flew from inside and outside of Lunu City towards the western city gates, the troops on the ramp also taking advantage of the situation to charge up the city walls.
At this time, because of Yuan Tan's shout, everyone in the Lunu County City knew about the battle at the West City Gate. Large amounts of Yuan Shao's troops were also rushing towards the West City Gate as reinforcements.
However, these Yuan Shao's troops couldn't make it in time to reinforce the West City Gate. Following the fall of the City Gate General, Yang Rui's troops were led by himself and a few other generals. They rushed up the West City Gate like a hot knife through butter. How could there be a match for them on the West City Gate?
Within 15 minutes, the West City Gate was taken over by Yang Rui's troops. From then on, the West City Gate and the small Qianji Black Armored Battalion under the West City Gate were linked together. Yang Rui's troops were close to taking down the Lunu County City.
However, Yuan Shao's troops didn't give up like Yang Rui expected. Instead, they launched a fierce counterattack against Yang Rui's Qianji Black Armored Battalion and the West City Gate. In all the previous battles, Yang Rui had never faced such a fierce counterattack before.
Perhaps it was because Yuan Shao knew that Yuan Tan was killed. After all, he was a father who valued his children greatly. Or perhaps it was because the Lunu County City was Yuan Shao's last base. In a situation where he couldn't retreat, Yuan Shao had no choice but to fight. The scale of the counterattack was something Yang Rui had never seen before.
However, Yang Rui's Qianji Black Armored Battalion was like a tortoise shell. The West City Gate was easy to defend and hard to attack. Yang Rui had occupied the West City Gate, so the only thing that could attack the West City Gate was the two sides of the city wall.
On the narrow city wall, it was almost impossible for Yuan Shao's troops to achieve victory. Dian Wei, Guan Hai, and a few other fierce generals were leading Yang Rui's troops to the two sides of the city wall. Yuan Shao's troops couldn't even stop them.
"Creak! Creak! Creak! "
“.....”
Especially after Yang Rui ordered people to open the West City Gate, Yang Rui's troops could not only enter the Lunu County City through the narrow tunnel, but they could also enter through the West City Gate. This included cavalry, large crossbows, and even assault chariots.
"Sou! Sou! Sou! "
"Pu! Pu! Pu! "
"Ah …"
“.....”
Outside the city gate, dozens of siege vehicles slanted into the city from the west city gate. Under the control of Guo Jia, they were directly transported to the edge of the large formation through the directional teleportation function of the Qianji Black Armored Battalion. From above, they shot out a large number of arrows, causing a large number of casualties to Yuan Shao's troops who were counterattacking.
The enemy charged over in a disorderly manner. Amidst the noise, the miserable cries of Yuan Shao's men after they were hit by arrows could not be drowned out. Amidst the swarming crowd, those who were killed one after another were like crumpled waves, emitting their last glimmer of light.
"Sou! Sou! Sou! "
"Kill! Kill! "
“.....”
The screams came one after another, but they were drowned out by the roars of battle. At this moment, Yuan Shao's troops in the Lunu County City didn't care about anything else. A large number of troops charged towards the West City Gate. Only 20-30% of the troops were still dealing with the fireballs from their flying pets.
It was obvious that Yuan Shao already knew about the situation at the West City Gate. Otherwise, no one would have the ability to mobilize so many troops. Yang Rui also made this judgement. He temporarily restricted his troops to the West City Gate and the Qianji Black Armored Battalion. He planned to push back Yuan Shao's troops first before doing anything else.
At the same time, Yang Rui could have moved his cavalry into the Lunu County City. Under the current situation, the 200,000 Wuhuan and Xianbei light cavalry outside the city would definitely be able to unleash a powerful attack. However, Yang Rui temporarily kept them outside the city and didn't immediately put them into action.
If he put the cavalry into action now, even if it could increase the speed of taking down the city, in front of Yuan Shao's troops, they would still suffer a lot of losses. It might not even be of much use. Therefore, it was better to save their strength for later.
"Clang!"
"Big Son! Yuan Tan, he … "
"Pu!"
"Clang!"
“.....”
Yang Rui only saw Yuan Shao's troops fighting back, but he didn't know what happened when Yuan Shao received the news of Yuan Tan's death. As the jade flask in Yuan Shao's hand fell to the ground, the hysterical Yuan Shao spat out a mouthful of blood. It was as if he had gone crazy and turned the entire hall upside down.
"Blazing Sun! You've gone too far, I will kill you …. "
“.....”
Yuan Shao's eyes were scarlet red, and his hair was extremely messy after the crazy smashing. He looked like he was about to explode, and after giving the order to counterattack with all his might, he muttered fiercely.
