Yang Rui had prepared a surprise attack for Yuan Shao's troops. The Ethereal Secret Ninjas had already rested for half a day, and after half a day, they calculated the distance and caught up with Yuan Shao's troops.
"Puff! Puff! Puff … "
“.....”
When night fell, the Ethereal Secret Ninjas were placed near Yuan Shao's troops. Originally, Yuan Shao's Secret Ninja Troop was spread out for tens of miles, and Yang Rui's Secret Ninja Troop was spread out. In the darkness of the night, Qing Wei's Secret Ninja Troop could be heard everywhere.
The Ethereal Secret Ninjas started to attack. Because they were scattered, the damage they could do was limited. But with 3000 Ethereal Secret Ninjas attacking at the same time, the damage they could do was not small.
According to Yang Rui's orders, the Ethereal Secret Ninjas used the method of attacking and retreating. They only attacked from the periphery to minimize their own casualties.
If they could kill the enemy in one attack, they would immediately retreat and attack again. Even if they couldn't kill the enemy in one attack, they would immediately retreat and prepare for another attack.
While trying to maximize their chances of survival, the Ethereal Secret Ninjas' sneak attacks couldn't be hidden. Yang Rui didn't plan to hide the Ethereal Secret Ninjas' sneak attacks, so the Ethereal Secret Ninjas' movements would only bring more trouble to Yuan Shao's troops.
That was indeed the case. Most of Yuan Shao's subordinates who were on the outer perimeter were in a state of nervousness the entire night. They were extremely terrified. Thus, the scattered sneak attacks of the Ethereal Ninjas were much more effective than the concentrated sneak attacks.
However, in this chaotic night, the Ethereal Secret Ninjas' sneak attacks weren't the most effective. Instead, the situation that caused the most damage occurred at the hour of the morning. Zhang Ning, accompanied by Yang Rui, used the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain and spread it from the back of Yuan Shao's troops to the front.
Immediately, many places were enveloped by the flames. Even though the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain covered a very limited area, once it came into contact with the flames, it would inevitably turn into a cluster of flames. At this time, the tents of Yuan Shao's troops were not protected by a formation.
Then, under the protection of Yang Rui, Zhang Ning once again returned to Yuan Shao's tents. The several dozen miles of Yuan Shao's tents were covered by the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain for the second time. Some areas that weren't "protected" before were also covered. At this time, Yuan Shao's troops were basically all awake and didn't have a good night's sleep.
During the process, there were a few historical generals who posed a threat to Zhang Ning. This was also the main reason why Yang Rui followed by her side to protect her. When they passed by Yuan Shao's rear, middle, and front, Yang Rui blocked the incoming arrows five to six times.
However, there was one thing that Yang Rui didn't expect. After Yang Rui's harassment, especially after Zhang Ning's Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain burned back and forth, Yuan Shao's troops didn't sleep after a while. Instead, they headed straight for Guang Chang County.
This was a situation that Yang Rui didn't expect. It seemed to have affected the development of the situation, causing Yuan Shao's troops to arrive at Guang Chang County two to four hours earlier.
After Yuan Shao's troops set off, Yang Rui pondered for a moment. However, he didn't disturb his own troops' rest. He waited until daybreak before continuing his pursuit of Yuan Shao's troops.
When Yang Rui's troops set off, Yuan Shao's vanguard was only an hour's journey away from Guang Chang County. This also meant that Gongsun Zan, who had just taken over Guang Chang County, would face the threat of Yuan Shao's troops at daybreak.
Yuan Shao's troops headed straight for Guang Chang County was naturally using it as their last support point. When they set off, Yuan Shao's troops were still occupying the county. However, it wasn't clear how Yuan Shao would react when he saw that Guang Chang County had already fallen into Gongsun Zan's hands.
At this moment, Yuan Shao was already on the verge of a complete breakdown. Faced with the predicament of having a tiger in front and a dragon behind, Yuan Shao's choice wasn't something that could be predicted with common sense.
Under such circumstances, something unexpected happened. Yuan Shao's vanguard troops had just approached Guang Chang County when they immediately launched an attack. At this moment, Gongsun Zan's troops were still busy repairing the severely damaged city.
In a face-to-face confrontation, nothing unexpected happened. Yuan Shao's light cavalry troops, who were the first to arrive, abandoned their horses and attacked the city. The results were very poor and they were quickly suppressed by the rain of arrows from Gongsun Zan's troops on top of Guang Chang County's city walls.
After that, Yuan Shao's troops temporarily stopped and waited for more troops to arrive. Of course, it was already impossible for Gongsun Zan's troops to repair the city walls. They could only temporarily build some barriers on top of the city walls.
Yang Rui was the first to grasp the situation. It was beyond Yang Rui's expectations. He didn't expect Yuan Shao's troops to launch an attack on Guang Chang County without rhyme or reason.
In fact, Yang Rui had neglected the "Rage Points" of Yuan Shao's troops. This "Rage Points" had once again temporarily boosted the morale of Yuan Shao's troops.
At this moment, Yuan Shao's troops were already in a desperate situation. They had been harassed by Yang Rui for the entire night and were facing their long-time "defeated opponent". As such, before Yuan Shao could arrive, Yuan Xi, who was leading the vanguard troops, had already launched an attack on Guang Chang County.
What made Yang Rui even more surprised was that the failure of the first attack didn't seem to affect Yuan Shao's troops. When the number of Yuan Shao's troops around Guang Chang County reached 50,000 to 60,000, a new round of attacks was launched.
This kind of attack obviously wouldn't have much of an effect, but it still appeared extremely tragic. At least, that was what Yang Rui felt. The emotions of Yuan Shao's troops couldn't help but be affected by their master's desperate situation.
Yuan Shao's troops launched wave after wave of attacks on Guang Chang County. They didn't seem to be affected by the sneak attack on the first night or the previous battle. Instead, they gave off an impression of bravery as they faced setbacks.
After more than two hours, Yuan Shao's troops had already arrived at Guang Chang County. It was unknown how Yuan Shao's troops were going to wrap things up. Just like before, they launched an attack on Guang Chang County.
Even though Yang Rui couldn't see the scene through the Ethereal Ninja, he could still feel the tragic atmosphere of a hero at the end of his road. Yuan Shao's attack on Guang Chang County had already been determined by Yang Rui to be a final and hopeless struggle.
However, there were always accidents in war. Just when Yang Rui and the others thought that Yuan Shao's action was the last song, an accident happened!
Tens of thousands of NPCs dressed as Liegeman suddenly appeared in Guang Chang County. They were all Yuan Shao's troops who had disguised themselves and were hiding in the city. They had originally gathered near the South City Gate. As soon as they appeared, they went straight for the South City Gate where Gongsun Zan was located.
