"Blazing Sun's spear cavalry are truly handsome!"
Bao Xin nodded and praised. Currently, he had close to six thousand soldiers under his command, but he only had forty cavalry. They were mainly used for scouting and delivering information. As for fighting, this number was far from enough! Bao Xin did not expect Yang Rui to be able to bring out two hundred spear cavalry. That was why he praised him.
"Lord Prime Minister Ji Bei is too kind!" Yang Rui cupped his fist and said humbly.
In truth, two hundred cavalry was still too little. If he had two thousand cavalry, he might be able to use them! During the Battle of Chang She, the cavalry that Huangfu Song sent out to hunt down the Yellow Turban Cavalry numbered more than ten thousand! The cavalry led by the Cavalry Commandant Cao Cao easily numbered in the thousands. Only with such numbers could one truly gallop on the battlefield and maneuver unhindered!
Bao Xin was not someone who had not seen the world. He was only casually praising Cao Cao. Yu Jin, on the other hand, had been glancing at Yang Rui's cavalry from time to time. He seemed to be very attentive. Yu Jin had previously revealed that he was very good at training cavalry. If the conditions were right, he could even train Sixth Grade cavalry. That was why it was normal for him to pay more attention to cavalry.
"Wen Ze, you are very good at cavalry. Please do not be stingy with your teachings. If you have the chance, please give these soldiers a few pointers." Yang Rui tried to say.
"General Blazing Sun is too polite! Wen Ze does not dare. I can see that your cavalry already has the power of a Fourth Grade. It is already very rare. With the attributes of the horses and the soldiers, it should not be a problem to raise them to Fifth Grade. Any higher will not be easy! "
Yu Jin was a serious and steady person. In just a few words, he had thoroughly explained the strengths and weaknesses of Yang Rui's cavalry. His insight was indeed unique! Yang Rui's Fourth Grade cavalry were mostly Western Liang's inferior horses. Most of the soldiers were B or C Grade, with very few of them being A Grade. Yu Jin's words should be accurate!
As for Yang Rui's request for pointers, Yu Jin did not mention it at all. It was likely that the system had some restrictions on this! This was not beyond Yang Rui's expectations.
Bao Xin and Yu Jin were both experts in commanding troops. The soldiers they led were very orderly, disciplined, and swift! After they left Juping County, they traveled at a high speed. In less than four hours, the five to six thousand soldiers had traveled a few hundred miles. With this speed, they would definitely reach Dong Ah County before the sky turned dark!
At that time, there were many small groups of Yellow Turbans. Yang Rui took the initiative to ask the Infant Sage to open up a path at the front. When they saw the Han Ting cavalry passing by, these small groups of Yellow Turbans fled at the sight of them. Some of them were blind or thought that they had some strength. When they bumped into the spears of Yang Rui's cavalry, they naturally did not gain any advantage!
Thus, after a few skirmishes, Yang Rui gained a new understanding of the power of these Fourth Grade pike riders. Most of the time, these spear riders were even more useful than Fifth Grade bandit leaders. In particular, when facing a large group of Yellow Turban bandits, a single charge was more than enough to crush them! At the same time, the Fourth Grade knights had a natural advantage when it came to chasing after the fleeing Yellow Turban army!
With Yang Rui's spear riders as the vanguard, Bao Xin's army traveled at a much faster speed after eliminating the Yellow Turban forces along the way! The only problem was that there were many players along the way who had gotten the news from some unknown source. They had been waiting on both sides of the road for a long time, waiting for the appearance of the two famous historical generals, Bao Xin and Yu Jin! They were hoping to form a relationship with them!
Since they could not be chased away on the road, Yang Rui could not do anything about these players. He could only leave them to Bao Xin and Yu Jin to deal with them! Naturally, Bao Xin and Yu Jin would not easily come into contact with these players. However, they did not chase them away either. Instead, they allowed the players to gather at the back of the troop. In the end, the number of players had exceeded the number of Bao Xin's troops! Moreover, they were still gathering!
The rallying power of famous historical generals was too great! During the defense of Juping County, there had never been such a large group of players moving together. Who would have thought that the appearance of two famous historical generals would mobilize so many players in Juping County! Moreover, there were even a few players from the Yellow Turban faction who had come to the place where Bao Xin and Yu Jin had to pass by to try their luck! It was easy to imagine what would happen to them! Yang Rui couldn't help but sigh in admiration at this!
After Bao Xin's troops crossed the border between Juping County and Dong 'a County, more and more players continued to gather. The number of players following behind Bao Xin's troops grew larger and larger. By the time they were two hundred kilometers away from Dong' a County, the number of players alone had exceeded 20000. It was three to four times the number of Bao Xin's troops! Even though it was Bao Xin who was going to reinforce Dong 'a County, it looked more like Bao Xin was going to reinforce Dong' a County.
As the number of players increased, Bao Xin's party became more and more powerful. Not only did the players receive the news, but the Yellow Turban forces surrounding Dong 'a also received the news! When Yang Rui's vanguard reached two hundred kilometers to the east of Dong 'a County, they discovered that most of the Yellow Turban bandits were gathering in groups. The Yellow Turban bandits stretched for several kilometers, and there were probably several tens of thousands of them!
Most of Bao Xin's nearly six thousand men were Third Grade soldiers. Fourth Grade soldiers only made up a small portion. Apart from that, there were also two hundred Fifth Grade personal guards with dual blades. They were probably a special type of soldier, and they appeared to be very powerful!
Even so, Bao Xin's troops would probably be at a disadvantage if they were to clash with several tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers! Even though there were still 20000 players from the Han Ting faction behind him, and their strength was not to be underestimated, they might not be reliable! Yang Rui quickly turned back and reported the situation to Bao Xin, who was fifteen kilometers behind him.
"Oh? Several tens of thousands of low-grade Yellow Turban soldiers are blocking our path? Our army is quite powerful now. We can use this opportunity to slaughter them! "
To Yang Rui's surprise, Bao Xin actually wanted to fight the Yellow Turban bandits head-on. Moreover, he had included the players behind him in his calculations!
If that was the case, then it was a little unreliable! Even though the overall strength of the 20000 players was no weaker than the Yellow Turban soldiers blocking their path, and in fact, they might even be stronger. However, the players all had different opinions. They would not be able to command the Yellow Turban soldiers as easily as they could command the NPCs. Whether or not they would listen to Bao Xin's orders was a different matter altogether!
"Pass down my orders. Inform all the players behind that I wish to choose a hundred soldiers from among them to join my army. They will follow me in my crusade against the Yellow Turban bandits and make a name for themselves! All players who are willing to join, gather at the front of the army in groups of a hundred within fifteen minutes and listen to my orders!
I only have one condition. We are about to encounter the Yellow Turban bandits. Anyone who kills a hundred of them will meet my selection criteria. Let them prove themselves with their true strength! "
Yang Rui had wanted to step forward and advise Bao Xin against his decision to fight the enemy head-on. However, before he could say anything, Bao Xin had already said something like this! Yang Rui was instantly impressed and impressed by Bao Xin's actions. There was no need for him to speak any further!
"Yes, Sir!"
The messenger immediately conveyed Bao Xin's intentions to the 20000 players behind him. The response from the players was also very strong. They immediately took action, calling their friends to form the standard of 100 players and rushing to the front of Bao Xin's army.
Bao Xin had already prepared for this. He had opened up ten paths for the incoming players. All they needed to do was to enter one of the paths and stand in their positions according to the instructions given to them by the soldiers. In less than a quarter of an hour, Bao Xin had actually set up a neat formation of players in front of him, which made Yang Rui gasp in admiration once more!
In reality, it was extremely difficult to mobilize so many players who were not familiar with each other in such a short time. It was unclear if Bao Xin had done this on the spur of the moment or if he had already planned to recruit players, but he was able to mobilize most of the players in such a short time! As expected of a famous historical general! It was clear that NPCs of this level in the game were not simple at all!
At that moment, the number of players behind Bao Xin's army was only one-third of the original number. Most of them were independent players who were watching from the sidelines. Most of the remaining players were ordered by Bao Xin to stand in front of the army and form a formation!
When the players spread out their formation, it was hundreds of meters wide. It was quite a sight to behold! At the end of the line of sight, a yellow torrent surged from afar. Yellow Turbans had appeared to intercept them.
"Follow me and kill!"
"Kill!"
“”
Bao Xin's six generals were at the forefront of the entire formation. When they saw that Yellow Turbans were about four to five hundred meters away from them and had yet to gain a foothold, they roared in unison and led the charge toward Yellow Turbans. The players behind them were originally there to kill Yellow Turbans. Naturally, they did not want to fall behind. Following Bao Xin's generals in front of them, they also charged toward Yellow Turbans!
The two sides charged at each other. The distance of four to five hundred meters was covered in the blink of an eye. The two sides were like two floodwaters that crashed into each other violently. The dazzling light brought about by the generals' special skills were like the waves on the peaks!
"Whoosh!"
"Kill!"
"Ah!"
“”
All sorts of noises rose into the sky. Shouts of killing could be heard everywhere. At any moment, there would be people falling down helplessly! The cruelty of a cold weapon battlefield was that one could die at any moment from the enemy's chaotic blades and arrows. No matter how strong one was, it would be difficult to coordinate well on a chaotic battlefield. That was why there were formations and coordination!
In the Han Ting camp, Bao Xin's side had already set up their battle formation and were waiting for the enemy to be exhausted. In addition, the Yellow Turbans' formation was not organized at all. Thus, in the first clash, the Yellow Turbans suffered a huge loss! The situation was almost completely one-sided!
However, in comparison, although the Yellow Turbans were not very well-trained, their willpower was firm. Otherwise, they might have retreated at any moment! Thus, even though the Yellow Turbans in front of them were being cut down like chives, the Yellow Turbans at the back were not afraid at all. They charged forward with all their might, causing quite a bit of trouble for the Han Ting camp players. The frontline did not advance too quickly!
As such, after fifteen minutes, as the Yellow Turbans had a huge advantage in terms of numbers, the weakness of the players' coordination also showed. The situation on the battlefield became a little tense! Although the Han Ting camp still had an advantage, it was not as obvious as before!
"Minister Ji Bei, Yu Jin requests for battle!"
At this moment, Yu Jin finally could not wait any longer.
