Dong Zhuo's troops had encountered the same thing twice, and the results were almost the same. After the trenches turned into fiery trenches, the close to 200 thousand Han Ting soldiers who were trapped within were killed by the yellow turbans from the east, west, and south gates. They had nowhere to retreat, and their fates were self-evident!
"Demon Zhang Jiao! He is going to eat meat every day! "
Dong Zhuo was already a little depressed after failing to take down the city. Who knew that such a huge change would occur? He was furious and stomped his feet. The fat on his face jiggled.
"Why don't you follow our plan? Just surround Guangzong and don't rush to attack the city. After a long time, the Yellow Turban bandits will be short of food and fodder. At that time, we just need to use a little strategy to defeat Zhang Jiao in one fell swoop …"
"Stop your nonsense! How can an ordinary man dare to point fingers?! "
Seeing that Dong Zhuo was anxious, Liu Bei tried to persuade him again. At the same time, he insisted on surrounding but not attacking. In the end, he was scolded by Dong Zhuo and his face turned red.
"You have nagged so many times but you are still using your women and children strategy! I am a general of Great Han. How can I not know your little tricks? Do you know how much grain there is in Guang Zong? If it is enough for a year and a half, why do you want us to wait for a year and a half? What a bunch of nonsense! "
Dong Zhuo saw that Liu Bei was angry and knew that he went overboard. Thus, he added a few more sentences. However, his tone did not change much. What Dong Zhuo cared about was the million players behind Liu Bei. He was not interested in Liu Bei at all.
"So what if you are a general? You have spoken rudely to my big brother many times. I, Zhang Fei of Yan, am here to take your head to vent my anger for my big brother! "
At this moment, Zhang Fei could not take it anymore. He pulled out his snake spear and pounced forward.
"No …"
"Third brother, no!"
When Zhang Fei attacked. Guan Yu and Liu Bei shouted. Luckily, Guan Yu was quick and grabbed the end of Zhang Fei's snake spear. Otherwise, no matter what the result was, it would be considered attacking Dong Zhuo. At that time, the sin itself was not small!
"How dare you!"
Dong Zhuo did not expect that someone would dare to attack him and was frightened. He wanted to ask his soldiers to take down Zhang Fei. However, Liu Bei was one step ahead of him.
"Lord Lieutenant General! If I have offended you today, I will definitely ask for forgiveness in the future! We'll take our leave first! "
After that, Liu Bei dragged Zhang Fei out of the tent. With Guan Yu helping them, Zhang Fei would not be able to do anything.
Moreover, how could Dong Zhuo be willing to let these people off so easily? He was about to send his men to chase after them. However, Guan Yu seemed to have inadvertently stomped his foot on the ground as he pushed Zhang Fei, and a large crater that was about a foot deep and ten feet wide appeared where he was standing. Dong Zhuo was greatly shocked by this, and he was no longer in the mood to send people after Guan Yu!
After Liu Bei left Dong Zhuo's camp, he led his 500 men and retreated 200 miles to the north before setting up camp. He didn't even have time to inform the many players who participated in the event with him! When the news spread, the players finally reacted. However, only two-thirds of the players were able to keep up with Liu Bei.
Initially, when the quest began, the number of players behind Liu Bei had already reached 1.5 million. After so many days of inaction, many of the players had already begun to have ideas. This time, Liu Bei left without saying a word. Therefore, nearly 500,000 players chose to leave Liu Bei.
Millions of players moved to the north. Dong Zhuo was also shocked. At this time, he had already suffered a great defeat. Now that he had lost Liu Bei's men, after careful consideration, Dong Zhuo finally decided to retreat again. This time, Dong Zhuo retreated very thoroughly. He even retreated 200 miles to the east and set up camp.
The news of Dong Zhuo's defeat spread quickly. Some people had already sent their men to report to Luoyang.
At this time, Dong Zhuo was actually in a dilemma. After losing his men twice, his and Zhang Jiao's offensive and defensive situation was slowly changing. If it weren't for Huangfu Song, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and the other Han Ting factions, Zhang Jiao would have gone to fight Dong Zhuo head-on.
After Dong Zhuo retreated, the restrictions on the activities of the Yellow Turbans in Guang Zong City were removed. Once again, the surrounding Yellow Turbans were connected, and resources and other resources were unimpeded. Since then, the Han Ting faction and the Yellow Turbans faction entered a temporary strategic equilibrium. Both factions retreated, gathered their forces, and prepared for the final battle.
The NPC factions did not make any moves. However, this provided an opportunity for the players from both factions. Both sides were killing each other in the areas where their respective territories intersected. They were having a great time! It was much livelier than a real war.
Dong Zhuo retreated to the east. The empty area that Yang Rui had conquered was a good place for him to stay. Due to Dong Zhuo's arrival, the few Yellow Turbans in the surrounding area were wiped out. Yang Rui had to consider moving to another place. Thus, he went north and arrived at the southern region of Anping Country. The efficiency of killing Yellow Turbans became more efficient.
Half a month passed quickly. It was already the beginning of the seventh month. Dong Zhuo didn't make any big moves since he retreated. Apart from Cao Cao's troops that were advancing towards Mao and Zhao, the rest of the troops didn't make any other moves.
On this day, a fast horse from Luoyang happened to pass by Guangping City. It was because Emperor Ling of Han wanted to punish Dong Zhuo. Only then did Huangfu Song heave a sigh of relief. Huangfu Song was familiar with Lu Zhi. Now that Dong Zhuo was in trouble, Huangfu Song knew that Lu Zhi had a way out. When Lu Zhi was the Northern Commander, he often had small victories. However, after Dong Zhuo was replaced, he suffered many losses even though he had more helpers. It was obvious who was better and who was worse.
Within a few days, Dong Zhuo was indeed convicted and removed from his position as the Eastern Commander. He was detained and sent back to Luoyang to receive his punishment. The heavy responsibility of conquering Jizhou was handed over to Huangfu Song. When the courier horse passed by Guangping City, Huangfu Song had already sent a secret order to Huangfu Song. Huangfu Song had also made a lot of preparations in advance. Thus, when Dong Zhuo was arrested, Huangfu Song had already coordinated with the Julu Governor, Feng Yi, to take over Dong Zhuo's troops.
Cao Cao's and Liu Bei's troops had also received Huangfu Song's letter. The next day, Huangfu Song's Army, Cao Cao's Army, Feng Yi's New Army, and Liu Bei's Revolutionary Army attacked Guangzong City from four directions at the same time. They came within 30 miles of the city and surrounded Guangzong City.
After Huangfu Song gathered Cao Cao, Feng Yi, and Liu Bei to discuss, they could not come up with a good plan to deal with the enemy. They all agreed that Guangzong City could not be attacked in a hurry. They needed to set up a stall and wait patiently for an opportunity to appear. Thus, they returned to their respective camps to think of a plan to attack the city. At the same time, they continued to feign attacks to harass the Yellow Turban Soldiers in Guangzong City.
At this time, Yang Rui was busy with another matter.
Ever since Yang Rui entered Anping Kingdom, he had slowly killed his way to the vicinity of Xindu. In the past half a month, he had obtained more than 800,000 merit points and points. The total value of Yang Rui's merit points and points had reached a whopping 3,900,000 points. When Yang Rui approached Xindu, he found that most of the Yellow Turban Soldiers had been transferred to other places. Most of the military forces guarding Xindu were low-ranking Yellow Turban Soldiers. Yang Rui couldn't help but set his sights on this city!
Xindu, as the capital of Anping Kingdom, was one of the largest transportation hubs in Ji Province. It was also a big city. Its construction and defense were naturally much better than Juping City. Xindu City was one of the first cities that the Yellow Turban Soldiers conquered. Its location was not far from the center of the Yellow Turban Army. With the huge number of Yellow Turban Soldiers, they should have invested a lot of resources to defend Xindu City.
However, Xindu City was an important source of resources for the Yellow Turban Soldiers. Two days ago, most of their military forces were sent to Guangzong City, Qu Yang, and Julu. Due to the recent activities of Han Ting's faction in Ji Province, they had no choice but to send more soldiers to escort the resources and provisions. Not long after, the Yellow Turban Soldiers received an order to reinforce Guangzong City. Another portion of their military force was divided. At this time, Xindu City was left with only 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers. It was the time when their military strength was at its weakest.
Yang Rui knew about this situation from the traveling merchants. However, Yang Rui was not sure if this was the truth. Therefore, Yang Rui wanted to sneak into Xindu City again. He wanted to investigate the strength of the Yellow Turban Soldiers in the city.
During the storyline of the [Battle of Nanyang] Region, Yang Rui used the Yellow Turban Soldiers as an excuse to sneak into the city. Although Xindu City was not under martial law, it did not have a similar situation as Nanyang City. Under the eyes of the soldiers guarding the gates, Yang Rui's opposing faction was obvious. It was difficult to hide. How to hide his identity as an opposing faction and enter the city was a problem that Yang Rui faced.
In the end, Yang Rui chose the carriage used by the traveling merchants. Only a carriage could hide Yang Rui's identity as an opposing faction. Before he put his plan into action, Yang Rui deliberately observed the situation at the four gates of Xindu City. He found that the Yellow Turban Soldiers at the south gate were the most lax. Most of the time, they were even bribed. It should be the easiest to sneak in.
Yang Rui handed all the cavalry soldiers to Li Dong. After arranging them not far from the south gate, he found an opportunity to sneak into a traveling merchant's carriage. The traveling merchants were neutral. Even during the Yellow Turban Uprising, they could still travel everywhere. However, it was inevitable that they would be oppressed.
"Stop!"
"This is a little interesting. Come and buy some wine …"
"Mm. What's in the carriage?"
"It's all herbs …"
"Open it and see!"
"Yes! Yes … "
Previously, Yang Rui felt that the south gate's inspection was the most lax. In the end, he coincidentally encountered a soldier who was serious. There might be herbs everywhere in the carriage, but they could not hide the fact that Yang Rui was an opposing faction. By the time the Yellow Turban Soldier lifted the curtain of the carriage, Yang Rui's spear had already pierced his throat!
When the merchant saw this, he was dumbfounded. The other Yellow Scarf Guards who were guarding the south gate were also stunned! Yang Rui took advantage of this opportunity to release all thirty-three beginner generals and thirty-eight Fifth Grade bandit leaders. They instantly exterminated all the soldiers at the gate. They then quickly passed through the corridor of the south gate and rushed up the stairs before the Yellow Turban Soldiers could react! Due to the suddenness of the incident, the Yellow Turban Soldiers did not even let go of a single arrow!
There might be many Yellow Turban Soldiers on guard, but they were no match for Yang Rui's elite subordinates, such as the beginner generals and bandit leaders! Moreover, Yang Rui released the remaining soldiers from his storage ring after reaching the city gates. In just a short moment, the entire south gate was under Yang Rui's complete control!
Li Dong and his Fourth Grade cavalry, who had been lying in ambush not far away from the south gate, had already noticed the abnormality on Yang Rui's side. By the time Yang Rui gained control of the south gate, Li Dong had already arrived at the city gates with one thousand and five hundred Fourth Grade cavalry!
Now that the cavalry had charged in, Yang Rui decided to put the rest of the soldiers back into his storage ring. He then led the beginner generals and cavalry into the inner city where the three prefectures of Xindu were located! It was only now that news of Yang Rui's arrival spread throughout Xindu City. Chaos ensued!
However, the occasional Yellow Turban Soldiers that appeared on the main road to block Yang Rui's path were all crushed by Yang Rui's absolute power. They did not take much time and effort from Yang Rui and the others!
