Yang Rui felt that it was a little too early for him to open the quest scroll to conquer a Qiang town in a year's time! However, the moment he opened it, the Quest Scroll had already appeared in his Personal Quest Pane. The Quest Scroll had already started its countdown, so it was impossible to cancel it now.
If he failed the Quest Scroll, his Territory would drop by three levels, which was a very heavy penalty. The only thing he could do now was to develop his own strength within the Quest Scroll and strive to have enough military strength to complete the Quest Scroll.
Come to think of it, the mission in the other brocade box in Yang Rui's hand should have similar content. Yang Rui wasn't going to open it again in the near future!
Yang Rui had only thought about the Quest Scroll and did not realize that after the Quest Scroll had been created, there was a "Teleport" option in the Quest Pane. This meant that the Quest Scroll mentioned attacking the Qiang Tribe's Town could be achieved through teleportation. There was no need for him to search for the Quest Scroll himself.
Putting aside the difficulty of the Quest Scroll, when Yang Rui arrived at the Ao Lai Valley checkpoint in Mountain Town, he saw another group of Yellow Turban Army soldiers fighting with Zhang Tian, who was guarding the checkpoint. The Yellow Turban Army only had two to three thousand soldiers. Yang Rui and the rest blocked them at the entrance of Ao Lai Valley and gave them a good beating.
After mastering the special skill, this was the first time Yang Rui had found a chance to use it. He used the [Six Styles of the Falling Goose] without caring about the success of the skill. The silver light in front of Yang Rui flashed from time to time. Wherever he went, there was no one who could resist him. The Yellow Turban Army soldiers fell to the ground after being stabbed from afar.
Seeing that Mountain Town was right in front of them, Li Dong, Tian Bao, and Sun Bao also unleashed their ultimate skills. Together with Yang Rui, they charged at the front and cut down the Yellow Turban Army soldiers like lawnmowers.
The three hundred and fifty soldiers that Yang Rui brought with him this time were the best of the best in Mountain Town (the water soldier was temporarily in Xiao Qiankun's pouch). Forty Fifth Grade bandit leaders followed closely behind Yang Rui's group of four. Any stragglers that slipped through the net would be torn to shreds by them. The twenty-four Fourth Grade archers were still behind the bandit leaders. However, their attack range was the furthest. Every time, before Yang Rui and the other four generals could attack, they would be able to take down most of the Yellow Turban Soldiers at the front. Their efficiency was second only to Yang Rui and the others!
The remaining melee soldiers and Third Grade archers could only watch from the back. They were placed at the back of the formation.
In this way, in just ten minutes, Yang Rui and the others had charged and killed nearly half of the Yellow Turban Army that stretched for more than a hundred meters! He had advanced a full fifty to sixty meters!
However, by now, Yang Rui and the rest of the beginner generals had used up all their internal energy. The generals attacked without any hesitation. From start to finish, each of them had only used the Skill Scroll ten times.
Among them, Yang Rui had used the Skill Scroll the most. He had used the Skill Scroll eleven times! Tian Bao and the rest had been close to Level 2 for a long time, but they had not been able to break through. Yang Rui, on the other hand, had also been close to Level 2 due to his recent training. In addition, the Six Style Spear Techniques of the Fallen Wild Goose emphasized 'surprise' and 'speed'. Therefore, the amount of internal energy consumed was relatively less.
At this moment. The formation of Yang Rui and the rest of the three hundred and fifty men changed once again. Yang Rui and the rest of the bandits retreated. All the Third Grade melee soldiers stood at the front of the formation. Behind them were a hundred Third Grade and Fourth Grade archers. They slowly pushed forward.
This formation might not be as explosive as the previous one, but it was still very stable. Most of the Yellow Turban Army soldiers were not able to fight with Yang Rui's melee soldiers. They were shot to death on the ground. Even if a small portion of them could fight with the melee soldiers, they were no match for the enemy.
After fifteen minutes, Yang Rui's army had reached the checkpoint at the entrance of Ao Lai Valley. They had killed over a thousand Yellow Turban Army soldiers without a single casualty. Of course, this was mainly due to the massive difference in grade between the two armies. The Yellow Turban Army did not have any long-range archers. The combat power of the two armies was not on the same level to begin with.
"The Lord is back! I just saw Milord display that set of spear techniques. What is it called? It's quite handsome! Hehe! "
Zhang Tian opened the gate and welcomed Yang Rui and the rest into the fortress. The first thing he asked about was Yang Rui's spear technique.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Has the town been peaceful over the past two days?"
"My Lord, there is nothing else. There was a problem with the family members of the Yellow Turban Army that we captured last time. The women didn't know what was good for them. We gave them food and shelter. We even took care of their children. One day ago, these family members openly rebelled and almost charged into the inner valley to hurt people! Hmph! "
Zhang Tian's face was filled with anger as he spoke about this. His words were all jumbled up. Fortunately, Wang Hai had also rushed to the checkpoint when he heard the news and explained the whole story.
It turned out that one day after Yang Rui led the soldiers to help defend Juping County, the Yellow Turban Army family members that Yang Rui had let out of pity in the outer valley of Black Dragon Valley wanted to enter the inner valley and cause trouble. Fortunately, the soldiers guarding the passage next to Black Dragon Pool stopped them. Otherwise, they would have succeeded. Even so, they still lost two First Grade militiamen.
"My Lord! I believe that we should chase these Yellow Turban Army members out of the town. Even if my Lord can't make up his mind to execute them, we only need to let them out of Ao Lai Valley and let them fend for themselves. There is no need to be merciful to them. Otherwise, these rioters will cause trouble. Currently, after the Liegeman in the town heard about the existence of the Yellow Turban Army, the morale of the people has dropped by almost ten points … "
Wang Hai suggested.
"Let's go. Bring me there!"
Yang Rui stood up first and walked towards Black Dragon Valley. Wang Hai, Zhang Tian, and the others looked at each other and followed Yang Rui. Only a group of soldiers were left to guard the checkpoint at Ao Lai Valley.
"Bastard! Give me back my husband! "
When Yang Rui reached the outer valley of Black Dragon Valley and arrived at the straw hut that Wang Hai had built for the family members of the Yellow Turban Army, a woman carrying a child suddenly lunged at Yang Rui from one of the huts. She was also holding a sharpened wooden stick in her hand. If this stick landed, Yang Rui would be severely injured, if not killed!
"My Lord, be careful!"
The people behind Yang Rui reminded him.
With Yang Rui's current skills, he definitely wouldn't be stabbed by a commoner woman. He didn't dodge and instead grabbed the wooden stick that the young woman was stabbing at him. He gently grabbed the wooden stick in his hand.
"My Lord, do you see that? What's the point of keeping such rioters? It's better to follow this old man's instructions and drive these ignorant Yellow Turban remnants out of Mountain Town! "
Wang Hai suggested when he saw that Yang Rui had subdued the woman. "Moreover, there are close to five thousand Yellow Turban Army members. The amount of food they consume every day is not a small amount. It should be at least a few thousand kilograms! Moreover, they don't produce and are not willing to feed themselves. They only want revenge and rebellion! What's the point of keeping them? "
Yang Rui naturally knew what Wang Hai was talking about. He had taken in these Yellow Turban Army members because they were pitiful. There were so many women and children. He could not bear to see them wandering around and being abused. On the other hand, Yang Rui was also thinking about whether he could subdue these Yellow Turban Army members and use them for himself. Now, it seemed that it was impossible before the Yellow Turban Army's plot ended.
Unwilling to give up, Yang Rui once again walked into the depths of the thatched huts. With the skills of Yang Rui and the others, except for Wang Hai who was protected in the middle, the Yellow Turban Family members basically posed no threat to the others.
Even so, Yang Rui and the others walked all the way down. There were sounds of fighting and killing everywhere. It was very much against Yang Rui's original plan.
"Is there no way to make these Yellow Turban Army members stay? Can we make them change their minds? "
After walking around, Yang Rui felt very helpless. These Yellow Turban Army members did not care about the living conditions provided by Mountain Town. From the women to the children, wherever they went, there would be sounds of fighting and killing. Their thoughts had been deeply influenced by the Taiping Sect. It would be difficult for them to change their minds in a short period of time.
Everyone knew what Yang Rui was thinking. However, when faced with Yang Rui's question, no one had a good idea. They all chose to remain silent.
"If we had chosen the Yellow Turban Army, my lord, you could have taken in these Yellow Turban Army members without worry."
Only Wang Hai muttered in a low voice.
"Choose the Yellow Turban Army?"
When Wang Hai's words landed in Yang Rui's ears, it immediately reminded him. Although Yang Rui had chosen the Han Ting Camp, didn't Xiaohui choose the Yellow Turban Army? Wouldn't the problem be solved if he moved these Yellow Turban Army members to Water Origin Village?
He would do it as soon as he thought of it. However, there was still a lot of preparatory work to be done before that.
After leaving the thatched hut area, Yang Rui brought everyone to the meeting room in Mountain Town. He brought up the matter of moving the Yellow Turban Army members for discussion. He also used the mission points to revive the two militia members who were killed by the Yellow Turban Army members.
"My lord, your idea is very suitable. However, Water Origin Village is only a low-level village. It can only accommodate a limited number of people. I think that we should first upgrade the village to an advanced village. Then, we should build a large number of houses to accommodate so many Yellow Turban Army members."
"However, we can't let Water Origin Village accept the surrender of these Yellow Turban Army members. Otherwise, our efforts will be in vain. Of course, we can't let these Yellow Turban Army members enter and leave the village as they wish. If one day, these Yellow Turban Army members decide to rebel with other branches of the Yellow Turban Army, our efforts and that of Water Origin Village will be in vain. "
"That's right. Therefore, we need to think of a perfect plan. We can ensure that these Yellow Turban Army members will not leave as they wish. We also need to let them engage in some production. Even if we can't guarantee self-sufficiency, it can at least reduce our burden. "
… …
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, giving Yang Rui many hints. In the end, Yang Rui came up with a solution. He wanted Xiaohui to expand the village's walls to the shore of the Wenshui and build a dock above the Wenshui as the only entrance to the village.
