"Blazing Sun, what happened here?"
When Huang Jin finally did not dare to attack again, Yang Rui drove the boat back to the city gate tower. County Magistrate Wang, County Deputy Li, and County Lieutenant Liu had already heard the news and rushed here.
"My lords, the Yellow Turban Army wanted to build a pontoon bridge in the middle of the night to cross the river to attack the city wall. I have defeated them!"
Yang Rui cupped his fists and replied.
"Oh? How did Patrol Inspector Scorching Sun defeat the Yellow Turban Bandits? What about the boats on the river? Do they belong to Blazing Sun? Blazing Sun did not bring these boats when he first came here! Hmm? "
When the leaders arrived, Yang Rui's operation on the moat was almost finished. Naturally, they did not see the battle between Yang Rui and the Yellow Turban Army. That was why they asked. However, County Deputy Li was judging Yang Rui as if he was blaming Yang Rui for not explaining the situation clearly.
"County Deputy Li, it is true!"
Yang Rui kept his countenance, but he didn't want to pay too much attention to County Deputy Li. From the very beginning, County Deputy Li had tried to instigate him to defend the west gate, but it turned out that the west gate was the most difficult to defend! Wasn't that a bit of a scam?
"Blazing Sun, well done!"
County Deputy Li wanted to say something, but Liu County Lieutenant had already made the decision. In the end, he did not ask anymore. County Magistrate Wang also nodded at this time, agreeing with County Lieutenant Liu's statement, so the topic was quickly diverted!
County Magistrate Wang and the other two officials stood on top of the city gate and discussed softly with the Yellow Turban Army on the other side of the moat. Even Yang Rui could not hear what they were talking about!
It was rare for players to see NPCs of such status, let alone talk to them. Therefore, at this time, several players on night duty on the city wall wanted to find a chance to talk to these NPC officials, but they were all blocked by their personal guards.
In fact, this was very normal. Even if Yang Rui accepted the task of defending the city gate and seemed to be close to County Magistrate Wang and the others, there were many things that Yang Rui could not participate in!
"You guys can go and rest first …"
Seeing that the three of them had no intention of leaving, Yang Rui turned around and instructed Li Dong, Tian Bao, and Sun Bao, who were already standing behind him, to rest first.
Yang Rui had originally planned to bring Li Dong and the bandit leaders out of the city again to see if they could take advantage of the chaos to disturb the Yellow Turban Camp. However, County Magistrate Wang and the others began to discuss the matter further.
Yang Rui could not participate in the discussion. Since he had nothing to do, he checked his Merit and Credit Points. Needless to say, defending the county was much more efficient than when Yang Rui was defending the two towns. In just half an afternoon, Yang Rui had only taken over the west gate for four hours, and he had already obtained nearly 7,000 Merit and Credit Points! His total Merit and Credit Points had both exceeded 70000!
Of course, this included the Merit and Credit Points that Yang Rui and the others obtained from stopping the Yellow Turban Camp on the moat at night, as well as the Merit and Credit Points bonus from the players killing the Yellow Turban Camp! Even so, it was still very efficient!
"Blazing Sun! County Magistrate Wang and I are going back now. You should rest early and conserve your energy to ensure the safety of the west gate! Just now, we all thought that as long as we can hold the line for a day, the rest of the defense should be easier and easier! "
Yang Rui wanted to go to the in-game forum again, but County Magistrate Liu patted Yang Rui's shoulder and said.
Perhaps it was Yang Rui's order to rest that reminded them, but County Magistrate Wang and the others soon left the west gate tower. It was already close to three in the morning. Yang Rui did not want to wake the soldiers up, so he entered the side room of the gate tower and continued to practice his basic Neigong.
However, this night was destined to be an eventful one! Yang Rui had only been practicing his basic Neigong for less than an hour when he was woken up by a soldier on night duty!
"My lord!"
The soldier on night duty ran into the side room in a panic. Yang Rui had told him that if there was an emergency, there was no need to inform him in advance.
"What's going on?"
Yang Rui's basic Neigong was close to level 2, so his five senses were much better than before. Therefore, when the soldier quickly walked over, he already sensed something.
"My lord! This … "
The night patrol soldier hesitated for a moment before he said, "My lord, about ten minutes ago, the northwest wind suddenly blew and broke my lord's flag on the city gate! Many people outside were talking … saying … saying that this was not a good sign, so I quickly came to report to my lord … "
"The northwest wind blew?"
Yang Rui already understood the soldier's meaning. At this time, there were some taboos when marching to war, and breaking a flag pole was one of the biggest taboos! However, Yang Rui did not care about this. What he cared about was how strong the wind was to be able to break a flag pole!
Yang Rui pondered and quickly walked out of the side room.
"Huff … Huff …"
The night of the second month of the lunar calendar was still very cold. In addition, the northwest wind was howling. Most of the soldiers on night duty were shivering from the cold and hid under the parapet wall to avoid the wind.
Yang Rui checked and estimated that the wind was at least force seven or eight in the real world. However, he was not worried. Instead, he was happy. He quickly went to the side room where Li Dong and the others were resting and pulled Li Dong up again.
"My lord!"
Li Dong did not show any signs of fatigue.
"Xiang Chen (Li Dong's courtesy name), bring all the Fifth Grade bandit leaders and gather at the city gate. Later, you will follow me out of the city for an operation!"
Yang Rui patted Li Dong's shoulder and said softly. When Li Dong heard the word 'operation', his eyes lit up. He quickly agreed and went down the tower to find his subordinates. With Li Dong's speed, he disappeared from the ten-meter-tall city gate tower in just two or three leaps.
Yang Rui also went down the city gate tower. Soon, Li Dong appeared in front of Yang Rui with forty Fifth Grade bandit leaders. Yang Rui did not say anything. He put all the bandit leaders into his small Universal Pouch and walked towards the secret passage with Li Dong.
It was now a quarter past three in the morning. In less than fifteen minutes, Yang Rui and Li Dong successfully appeared at the exit of the secret passage outside the city. Fortunately, this exit was located at a small hill about fifteen kilometers northwest of Juping County. It was not far from the Yellow Scarf Camp.
"Huff … Huff …"
"Swish swish … swish … crackle …"
There was a dense forest on top of the hill. When the cold northwest wind blew, all the branches in the forest were rustling. Even if they made some noise, it would not be easily noticed! Yang Rui released all the soldiers from his Qiankun Bag from the forest. After giving some instructions, he and Li Dong headed towards the Yellow Scarf Camp.
Before this, the Yellow Scarf Camp was only a few kilometers away from this small hill. In addition, during the day, the Yellow Scarf Camp had pushed forward another kilometer. Now, it was less than ten kilometers away. Yang Rui, Li Dong, and the rest arrived at the perimeter of the Yellow Scarf Camp in just a few moments.
Looking around, the Yellow Scarf Camp was built in an orderly manner. They relied on each other and were very close to each other. It was very difficult to ambush them!
"Huff … Huff …"
The northwest wind kept blowing. Speaking of which, the Yellow Scarf Army's talisman paper tents were really good. Not only were they not afraid of fire, they did not even move in such a strong wind. This showed how extraordinary the Dao of Peace was!
Normal wind and fire could not damage the Yellow Scarf Army's talisman paper tents. However, it did not mean that there was no way to destroy the talisman paper tents! Yang Rui came here because he thought of a way to destroy the talisman paper tents. Yang Rui estimated that there was still a chance of success!
However, before that, he had to clear out the tents first. That way, the chances of success would be higher.
"Huff … Huff … Huff …"
Under the cover of the wind and the extraordinary strength of Li Dong and the Fifth Grade bandit leader, the Yellow Scarf Army's tents that were difficult to attack were easily taken down one by one! Only after they had cleared out the 100 or so tents around the perimeter did Yang Rui let Li Dong and the rest stop.
"Let's hope it works!"
Yang Rui took out a talisman paper and mumbled to himself. This talisman paper was the 'Starfire Talisman' that Yang Rui had picked up in the Yellow Scarf Ship's cabin before midnight!
Yang Rui had tried a few times before and realized that fire could not effectively destroy the Yellow Scarf Army's talisman paper tents! However, he still had some doubts in his heart. In his previous life, during the War of the Gaming Association, there was indeed a plot where the Yellow Scarf Army's camp was set on fire! Regarding this kind of important event, even though Yang Rui had missed the plot of the Yellow Scarf Rebellion in his previous life, he had seen it many times in various game forums!
From this, Yang Rui came up with a bold hypothesis. It was not that the Peace Society's talisman paper tents could not be set on fire, it was just that they could not be set on fire by normal fire! Perhaps the 'fire' that the Peace Society made themselves could be used!
Tonight, Yang Rui came to verify this hypothesis!
* Hualala … *
Yang Rui was about to activate the talisman paper in his hand when he suddenly remembered something. He stopped and poured out a few units of normal wood from his backpack and piled them beside the talisman paper tents. Only then did he activate the talisman paper in his hand!
* Crackle … rustle … boom … *
The "Star Fire Talisman" was torn apart by Yang Rui. Within a 2m * 2m area in front of him, it was as if a firework had exploded. Countless small sparks burst forth and instantly turned into many small flames, followed by a "boom"! Everything that could be set on fire in this space was drowned in the flames! Then, it turned into an even fiercer flame! Almost half of the talisman paper tents were turned into flames!
* Huff huff … * Roar … *
The ball of flame was blown by the wind and expanded rapidly. It engulfed everything that could be set on fire, including the talisman paper tents of the Yellow Scarf Army. The fire was like a monster that was blown up by the wind.
"It's done! It's really done … "
