PS: [Thank you for turning around and tipping me!]
Tian Bao's weapon was originally a pair of chain hammers. Now that he was facing off against the yellow-turban man's long-handled sledgehammer, he finally met his match! Whether it was the chain hammers or the long-handled sledgehammers, they were both heavy weapons. If they were evenly matched, a casual hit from them would result in either death or injury!
"Ha!"
The bearded Tian Bao had not met an evenly matched opponent for a long time, so he was extremely excited. When he saw the yellow-turban man's twin hammers smashing toward him, Tian Bao shook his hands and swung his hammers. He had already used his special skill, the Whirlwind Hammer Technique. The first hammer was skillfully deflected the two hammers of the short man. Then, he twisted his body and narrowly avoided the range of the opponent's energy. The second hammer was already an attack, and the hammer was swung toward the short man's head!
As a junior general, the short yellow-turban man was naturally not to be trifled with. He dodged Tian Bao's attack without much effort. Then, the two of them looked at each other and tangled with each other. They went back and forth, and the wind whistled. It was very lively!
"Good!"
"Good!"
The two of them fought to a standstill, and the soldiers behind them also cheered loudly! After forty to fifty rounds, the short yellow-turban man jumped out of the battle circle.
"I'm thirsty. I'll go back and drink some water before I fight with you!"
The junior yellow-turban general should have exhausted most of his energy. He found an excuse to turn back and jump into the north gate of Gaoqiao Town. In his mind, although he was exhausted, the other party should not be any better. It was normal for him to retreat into the gate and rest for a while!
"Kid! Where do you think you're going? Quickly come out and fight with your grandfather for another 300 rounds! "
What the short man did not expect was that he retreated into the gate. The bearded man outside the gate scolded even more fiercely. It was as if the short man was running away! Although he had indeed exhausted a lot of energy. He could not bear it for a while, but it was not considered to be running away!
In fact, regardless of whether the short man admitted it or not, compared to Tian Bao, his battle strength was indeed slightly inferior!
Tian Bao's basic Neigong had been at the threshold of Level 2 for a long time. He could use his special skill about ten times. The yellow-turban man could only use his special skill seven or eight times before he could no longer continue. If Tian Bao didn't intentionally let him off, the yellow-turban man might have already died under his opponent's hammer.
From the very beginning, Tian Bao had received Yang Rui's signal. He was only fighting a battle of attrition with the other party, and did not really fight to the death! However, the yellow-scarved man did not realize this. When he heard Tian Bao humiliate him again, he could not help but rush out of the north gate!
"Ha!"
The momentum of the yellow turban man's charge did not decrease, but the strength of his hammer was no longer the same as before. In fact, there were no signs of special effects on his hammer!
Tian Bao wanted to step forward again, but he was stopped by Yang Rui. Yang Rui, who had just mastered special skills not long ago. When he saw the two people fighting fiercely, he could not help but feel a little itchy. Now that there was such a good opportunity, Yang Rui naturally did not want to miss it. He raised his spear and stepped forward to fight with the yellow-scarved man!
"Clang! Clang! "
Yang Rui did not dodge or avoid, and directly used his spear to block the other party's two hammers! The Six Forms of Wild Goose Fall did not stop. It emitted a little bit of starlight, and then a misty spear shadow covered the yellow-scarved man's left chest, neck, face, and temple.
The sound of two heavy objects falling to the ground was heard one after another. Looking at the two people in the field, the yellow-scarved man was held by Yang Rui's heavy spear and could not move at all!
"Good!"
The soldiers on both sides were still cheering in unison. However, the yellow-scarved men were only halfway through their cheers when they stopped, and then there was a series of gasps! The yellow-scarved soldiers did not expect this. The situation had developed so quickly that their leader had just shown off his skills, but now he had been subdued by the other party with a single move!
Just when the yellow-scarved soldiers were still in shock and had not reacted, Yang Rui had already returned to the group of soldiers behind him with his spear. Yang Rui only gave a slight signal, and the soldiers quickly moved to tie up the yellow-scarved man. It was too late to save him!
"… Are you willing to surrender to me?"
After the yellow-scarved man was tied up, Yang Rui asked casually. In fact, Yang Rui knew very well that this sentence didn't mean much. Those captured women and children with Yellow Turbans and their family members didn't surrender, let alone the short man, the leader of the Yellow Turbans!
As long as the Yellow Turban Uprising involved the level of belief, it was very difficult to change their minds! Therefore, after capturing the short man, Yang Rui cherished his talent and did not intend to kill him. Instead, he had already planned a place for him to go — — The wooden prison in Mountain Town did not hold many people, it was basically empty!
"Humph! Seeing that you're quite skilled, it's not impossible for me to surrender to you! But you must let my brothers go and let them go back to Lu country to make a living! If you agree, I'll follow you … "
What? What's going on?! Surrender just like that?! The short man's action was beyond Yang Rui's expectation. Yang Rui did not expect this at all! Inadvertently, Yang Rui habitually responded to the short man's words.
"… Of course I can …"
As soon as Yang Rui agreed, the enemy faction status on the short man who was tied up immediately disappeared. Then, he said loudly, "Zhang Chen greets my lord!"
At this time, Yang Rui's character panel had an additional character information about Zhang Chen!

There were exceptions to everything, and Yang Rui had inadvertently obtained a primary rank military general by accident! Compared to the effort that Yang Rui had put in to force Li Dong and the others to surrender, this was different. Zhang Chen's surrender was really unexpected! However, Zhang Chen also revealed the reason why he surrendered to Yang Rui.
"I was originally a famous blacksmith in the northern part of the Lu Kingdom. I've been practicing martial arts for generations. A few years ago, I offended the government because I stood up for my neighbor. I was forced to lead the people in the village to live in the wilderness. I was wanted by the government as a mob! Sometimes Taoist Taiping incessantly instigated us, trying to persuade us to work together. Originally Ol 'Jia did not want to pay any attention to it, but Yang Lai and the other Yellow Turban people happened to pass through Ol' Jia's grassland, they intended to coerce us, so Ol 'Jia was not their match. So I came here with them …
Since I arrived at Juming County, I took the opportunity to part ways with Yang Lai and stayed here. I didn't listen to his orders anymore. I didn't even go to the county town a few days ago! Just to find an opportunity to lead everyone back to the Lu Kingdom and find a remote place to live out the rest of their lives … "
Zhang Chen was a straightforward person. He didn't think before he spoke! Yang Rui finally understood from his words. Zhang Chen and the others didn't join the Yellow Turban Army on purpose. They could only be considered a 'fake army'. No wonder they surrendered to Yang Rui so easily!
"This is the way of the world. How can you live in peace? Why don't you bring your brothers and submit to our Lord! "
The bearded Tian Bao saw the opportunity and said. There were about three to four hundred Yellow Turban Soldiers in Gaoqiao Town. Although most of them were First Grade soldiers, if all of them surrendered, they would be a force to be reckoned with! Yang Rui didn't slack off on recruiting soldiers in the town. He maintained a rate of 30 soldiers and above every day. If there were three to four hundred more soldiers, it would be a considerable number!
However, Zhang Chen only smiled after hearing Tian Bao's words. He didn't say anything else. Yang Rui and the others could only watch as the three to four hundred Yellow Turban Soldiers took off their yellow scarves and turned back into a 'mob' and headed south.
"System Notification: Congratulations on conquering Han Ting's territory – Gaoqiao Town. You have been rewarded with 1,000 merit points and 1,000 points! "
When the last of Zhang Chen's subordinates left Gaoqiao Town. The system actually rewarded Yang Rui with an additional 1000 Achievement Points and 1000 Points! Yang Rui finally knew that conquering a territory occupied by the Yellow Turban Army had a corresponding reward! Previously, Yang Rui was only busy dealing with the Yellow Turban Army's scattered forces. He didn't spend any effort attacking the towns and villages occupied by the Yellow Turban Army.
Gaoqiao Town was conquered by Yang Rui. However, it still belonged to Han Ting and couldn't be conquered like Jiang Ji's Wutun Town.
For the next few days, Yang Rui focused his attention on capturing towns and villages in all directions. The Yellow Turban Army's forces within a hundred mile radius of Jiang Ji's Wutun Town had already been depleted by Yang Rui. Now, it was much easier for Yang Rui to conquer their territory!
"System Notification: Congratulations … You are rewarded 100 Achievement Points …"
"… Congratulations … You are rewarded 200 Points …"
Following Yang Rui's "conquering" of towns and villages, the area around Jiang Ji's Wutun Town had truly become a vacuum zone for the Yellow Turban Army. Yang Rui's daily Achievement Points and Points were more than five digits!
According to Yang Rui's statistics, every time he captured a low-level village, he would receive 100 merit points and 100 points each. An Intermediate village would give 200 points, an Advanced village would give 500 points, and a low-level town would give 1,000 points. For the time being, Yang Rui had yet to encounter a town above the Intermediate level!
Furthermore, due to Zhang Chen's submission, Yang Rui now had one more general under his command. Naturally, his efficiency had increased by quite a bit! In just a few days, Yang Rui expanded the Yellow Turban Army's territory around Jiang Ji's Wutun Town to a radius of 200 miles! Within 200 miles, there wasn't a single Yellow Turban Army's town or village!
"System Notification: Year 7, Year 3, 1st day of the 3rd month, Emperor Ling of the Great Han Dynasty wrote a policy and appointed He Jin as the Great General. He led the Left and Right Imperial Guards to gather at Duting and prepare their weapons to guard the capital! All provinces and counties were ordered to train their soldiers, prepare their weapons, and gather their own militia to suppress the Yellow Turban Army! Han Ting's faction's battle strength increased by 10% … "
"System Notification: Year 7, Year 3, 1st day of the 3rd month, Emperor Ling of the Great Han Dynasty wrote a policy and eliminated all party prohibitions, pardoned all party members, and returned all emigrants …"
