This short forest was actually a forest of apricot trees. It was the season when the flowers were blooming, and there were large patches of them. It was very beautiful! However, the flag with the word 'Bo' was stuck in the middle of the forest. It was supposed to be a very majestic flag, but now there were a few big holes in it, and several parts of it were torn into pieces!
Looking at the flag from afar, Yang Rui couldn't help but have a thought. The surname 'Bo' was very rare, could it be that Bo Cai was in this apricot forest? Yang Rui hesitated for a moment, and then sent out two bandit leaders to slowly make their way into the apricot forest through the cover of weeds.
As he wasn't sure of the opponent's strength, Yang Rui decided to investigate first. Originally, sending Li Dong was the most suitable choice, but Yang Rui was a little worried about his safety. If Bo Cai was really in this apricot forest, Li Dong would definitely not be his match!
With his gaming experience from his previous life, Yang Rui had a rough understanding of Bo Cai's strength. As the Yellow Turban Commander, most people on the forums in his previous life thought that Bo Cai was at least a third-rate historical general! Therefore, Li Dong would definitely be sending himself to his death. However, if he sent the bandit leaders, he wouldn't have to worry even if they were accidentally wiped out. It would be a good way to 'clear' their names!
The two Fifth Grade bandit leaders had silently made their way to the edge of the apricot forest. Even in broad daylight, with the cover of the weeds and other vegetation, their figures were hard to notice. It was a testament to their ability to hide their tracks!
"Who is it?!"
However, just as the two bandit leaders reached the apricot forest, they heard a sudden shout from the forest. A tall figure suddenly leapt out, holding two round hammers in his hands. He quickly swung the hammers and smashed towards the two bandit leaders. The speed was truly shocking.
The two bandit leaders were originally agile soldiers, but when the hammers hit them, they didn't even have time to react. Only a blank expression was left on their faces! After the shout, it only took an instant for the two Fifth Grade bandit leaders to fall to the ground!
Yang Rui's previous worries weren't unfounded. Looking at the strength of this muscular man, he didn't need to worry. Even if it were Li Dong or Yang Rui, the three primary martial generals, they would not be a match for him! Fortunately, the two bandit leaders were sent this time. They could be resurrected and "cleansed" of the fact that they couldn't level up. It wasn't a loss.
After the brawny man killed the two Bandit soldiers in an instant, he slowly scanned the surroundings, looking for possible targets! Fortunately, Yang Rui and the other two were hiding in the bushes over two hundred meters away. They had stored all the soldiers into their storage rings in advance. Leaving only Li Dong and Zhang Chen by his side, the three of them held their breaths at the same time. Only then did they avoid being detected by the burly man!
Even so, when the burly man's gaze swept over the place where Yang Rui and the other two were hiding, he paused for a moment before moving his gaze away. It was as if he had noticed some abnormalities in this place. It was clear that his perception was very strong!
When the brawny man looked over, Yang Rui also saw the brawny man's appearance! This brawny man was more than seven feet tall. He was very strong and his face was very white. Even if there was an obvious scar on the left side of his forehead, it still could not hide his handsome appearance!
"System Notification: You have completed the tenth task of the fourth stage of the regional storyline [Battle of Ying Chuan], 'Search for the whereabouts of the Yellow Turban Canal's Shuai Boxai'. You are specially rewarded with 100 verification of the storyline mission!"
"System Notification: You have completed one task of the fourth stage of the regional storyline [Battle of Ying Chuan]. You can enter the fifth stage of the storyline in advance — — the final stage of the storyline mission, 'Kill or capture the Yellow Turban Canal's Shuai Boxai'. Please choose whether to accept the fifth stage storyline mission! After choosing the final stage mission, it will not affect the progress of the other fourth stage missions. "
After Yang Rui saw the brawny man's appearance, the system notified him that he had completed the 'Search for the whereabouts of the Yellow Turban Canal's Shuai Boxai' mission. This meant that the brawny man was undoubtedly the Yellow Turban Canal's Shuai Boxai!
As for the final stage mission, he only needed to choose whether to accept or not. It wasn't like before where there were many options! Yang Rui habitually chose it!
"Yes."
"You have chosen to accept the fifth stage of the storyline mission, 'Kill or capture the Yellow Turban Canal's Shuai Boxai!'. Are you sure? "
"Yes!"
From the previous stages of the mission, the rewards of the storyline mission verification would change according to the difficulty of the mission. If he could really kill or capture the Yellow Turban Canal's Shuai Boxai alive in the end. The reward should be very generous!
However, Yang Rui was also very clear about the difficulty of this stage of the mission. According to Boxai's performance just now, it was easier said than done to kill or capture him alive. Yang Rui accepted the mission as a last resort. Anyway, it wouldn't affect the progress of the 'Chase after the retreating Boxai's Yellow Turban Canal' mission.
At this time, Boxai had already returned to the apricot forest. After about a cup of tea's time, the "Boxai" banner flapped through the small apricot forest. It headed towards the southeast direction. Perhaps the appearance of the two bandit leaders under Yang Rui had alarmed Boxai's remaining troops, causing them to leave in a hurry.
As Boxai left, Yang Rui naturally followed behind him from a distance. However, he didn't dare to get too close! At this time, Yang Rui also clearly saw the strength of Boxai's remaining troops. The entire Boxai's remaining troops were only about a thousand people. Just the cavalry alone accounted for half of them. The remaining four to five hundred Yellow Turban Canal soldiers, although they were foot soldiers, they were all rare strong men!
Although Yang Rui wasn't sure about the ranks of these strong men, these soldiers were walking at the front, surrounding the "Boxai" banner. They should be Boxai's personal bodyguards!
In addition, Yang Rui also discovered that in addition to the "Boxai" banner, there were more than ten small banners. According to his previous experience, Boxai's thousand man troop had at least ten beginner level generals! His strength was evident!
After choosing a smooth river and crossing a tributary of the Ying River, Boxai actually split the troop into two. All the cavalry escorted a carriage towards the southwest. Only four of the beginner level generals' banners were carried. The rest of the Yellow Turban Canal soldiers followed the "Boxai" banner and continued towards the east. Judging from the direction, they were approaching Ying Chuan City. They should be heading towards Ying Chuan City!
Yang Rui didn't dare to confirm which troop Boxai was in. What was his intention in splitting up the troops like this?! Could it be that Boxai had noticed that Yang Rui and the rest were tailing him and decided to outflank him?! With the mobility of the Fourth Grade Yellow Turban Canal soldiers, this was a possibility!
Therefore, Yang Rui decided to follow this cavalry troop and see what they were up to! In fact, even if Yang Rui followed the other troop, he was destined to fail. Once they entered Ying Chuan City, Yang Rui could only watch helplessly!
Due to the presence of a carriage in this troop of Yellow Turban Canal soldiers and the fact that the road was difficult to traverse, their speed wasn't too fast. Yang Rui and the other two leisurely tailed them from a few miles away. This way, they wouldn't lose sight of their target and wouldn't be easily noticed by the enemy.
Who knew that Yang Rui would follow them all the way. This troop of Yellow Turban Canal soldiers would turn left and right and enter the southeastern part of Mount Song. After traveling for half a day, they finally arrived at a village in a valley before nightfall and didn't leave.
Along the way, they had come across many villages. All of them were occupied by the Yellow Turban camp. However, this troop of Yellow Turban Canal soldiers didn't stop. They only settled down after reaching the village in the valley. Perhaps they had chosen this destination from the very beginning!
The sky had already turned dark, and Yang Rui chose a suitable location outside the valley to release the dilapidated ship and settle it down. Nothing happened. Yang Rui made use of the time to practice the foundational neigong mantra. He also urged Li Dong and Zhang Chen to practice as well.
The two Tier-5 bandit leaders that Yang Rui had killed during the day had been a huge blow to Yang Rui. Even though he was currently at 20% of Tier-2 Basic Neigong, his cultivation speed was not slow. He was one of the fastest among the players! However, compared to Bocai, he paled in comparison!
Bocai was only an unknown character at the end of the Han Dynasty. There was such a huge gap between Yang Rui and him. One could imagine that if he was compared to those famous generals, he would be even worse!
This also served as a reminder to Yang Rui. In the Yellow Turban Rebellion storyline, many important characters had appeared. The beginning of the Dong Zhuo Rebellion was an era where strength spoke louder than words. There wasn't much time left for Yang Rui to develop!
It wasn't until midnight that Yang Rui stopped practicing the foundational neigong mantra. In six hours, he had increased his proficiency by 1%. This was already a very good progress!
Yang Rui woke up Li Dong, Zhang Chen, and the forty Tier-5 bandit leaders. They headed towards the village where the Yellow Turban Cavalry was located! Although this village was located in a remote area and there were no Yellow Turban forces within a radius of ten kilometers, Yang Rui's group of Yellow Turban Cavalry had at least four beginner generals. The five hundred Tier-4 Yellow Turban Cavalry weren't easy to deal with! Therefore, Yang Rui didn't dare to be careless. He only prepared to take a look at the enemy's situation!
When Yang Rui and the others reached the entrance of the valley, they saw several squads of Yellow Turban Cavalry patrolling the area between the valley and the village. Each squad had about ten Yellow Turban Cavalry. The distance between the two squads was no more than a hundred meters! A distance of a hundred meters was a short distance for the cavalry. Therefore, it was very difficult to ambush them. If they made any noise, they would attract the attention of other Yellow Turban Cavalry. Moreover, it was inevitable that they would make some noise when dealing with moving cavalry!
He didn't expect the Yellow Turban Cavalry to be so cautious. Without a suitable opportunity to strike, Yang Rui and the soldiers could only hide at the entrance of the valley and wait for an opportunity. Unexpectedly, these Yellow Turban Cavalry were extremely disciplined and didn't show any signs of weakness from start to finish!
An hour passed, but there was still no opportunity to strike. Yang Rui placed all the bandit leaders into his small Qiankun Pouch, leaving only Li Dong and Zhang Chen behind. He planned to launch a sneak attack first and lure the enemy cavalry out of the valley before making his next move.
"Huo!"
Seeing the opportunity, Yang Rui took the lead and charged towards a squad of Yellow Turban Cavalry that happened to be returning from the valley entrance. Li Dong and Zhang Chen followed suit almost immediately. Without much effort, and without even using any special skills, they had already killed six or seven Yellow Turban Cavalry!
"Neigh neigh neigh …"
When Yang Rui and the other two made their move, even though they controlled it very well, it was inevitable that they would make a lot of noise. When their master was killed, the warhorses would be frightened and neighed!
"Quick! Something's happening! "
"Let's go take a look …"
"Da da da … Da da da …"
The nearest squad of Yellow Turban Cavalry galloped towards the entrance of the valley. Then, the Yellow Turban Cavalry further away also heard the commotion and rushed towards the entrance of the valley. Yang Rui and the other two didn't panic. Soon, they engaged the second squad of Yellow Turban Cavalry. Although they didn't have the advantage of ambushing them, Yang Rui and the other two were strong enough to take down all of them without much effort.
After eliminating three or four squads of Yellow Turban Cavalry and picking up the dropped skill books and equipment, Yang Rui felt that it was about time. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard a few loud shouts. The enemy was already not far away.
"Who are you! How dare you ambush us! Surrender now! "
Yang Rui raised his eyes and looked over, only to see four figures flying in the direction of the three of them! These four people didn't ride horses. They were running on foot, but their speed was much faster than the surrounding Yellow Turban Cavalry. Judging from their movement techniques, they were undoubtedly the Beginner Generals.
