By the time Yang Rui met up with Li Dong and the others, it was already three in the morning. Considering that the cavalry was too big of a target during the day, Yang Rui did not stay for long. He immediately headed towards the southwest of An Bang County under the cover of the night.
Since he had accepted the mission of 'killing Zhang Bao's troops' and knew that Zhang Bao was heading towards Qu Yang, Yang Rui headed towards the southwest of An Bang County and should be able to meet Zhang Bao's troops there. Yang Rui and the others ran all the way and took all the territories that were occupied by the Yellow Turbans.
Yang Rui did not plan to touch these Yellow Turbans' territories. Instead, he planned to march with all his might and find Zhang Bao's troops as soon as possible so that he could stop them! However, wherever Yang Rui went, the noise caused by the cavalry was too loud and alerted the Yellow Turbans.
Due to the limited visibility at night, Yang Rui's Fourth Grade cavalry was not much faster than the infantry. When the alarmed Yellow Turbans realized what was happening, many of them fell behind Yang Rui's troops. Moreover, more and more of them were gathering!
As a result, Yang Rui had no choice but to turn his horse around and let his troops out of the storage ring. He killed all the Yellow Turbans that were tailing him. When he passed by the Yellow Turbans' territories, he would take the initiative to attack and kill the Yellow Turbans to prevent them from becoming a force to be reckoned with again!
In more than four hours, Yang Rui had already led the cavalry out of An Bang County. At this time, the sky was already bright. The soldiers were tired after working for half a night. Yang Rui seized an advanced Yellow Turbans village for them to rest.
This advanced village was located at the border of Julu County, Zhong Shan Country, and An Ping Country. It was the place where the Yellow Turbans were the most concentrated. The presence of Yang Rui and the others immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding Yellow Turbans. More and more Yellow Turbans rushed towards this advanced village, intending to exterminate Yang Rui's troops. Therefore, the archers and soldiers who did not move much in the second half of the night started to get busy again. They were arranged by Yang Rui to defend against the Yellow Turban Soldiers coming from all directions.
The Yellow Scarf Soldiers here weren't of a particularly high grade. Their numbers weren't enough to threaten Yang Rui, either. The one hundred and sixteen Fourth Grade archers weren't doing much of the job. The Yellow Scarf Soldiers that came to attack them were only giving Yang Rui merit points!
With the archers' tight defense, the rest of the soldiers were able to rest in peace. Only now did Yang Rui have time to check what he had gained in Anbang City. At that time, when Yang Rui tidied up the treasures in An Bang City's treasury, he felt that it was not a small amount. At this time, after careful inspection, there were actually more than 100,000 gold coins. Although there was a gap compared to the gains in Nanyang City, it was definitely a big harvest! After obtaining this wealth, Yang Rui's total wealth had exceeded 500,000 gold coins!
Yang Rui and the others attacked together and killed the Yellow Scarf Intermediate General. It also dropped two decent items.
"Beginner Neigong Mantra: Neigong type skill book. Allows user to master the practice of beginner neigong! Learning Requirement: Basic Neigong Mantra Level 3 100%! "
"Twelve Chain Marksmanship: Special Skill Book. Allows user to master the related special skill! Requirement: Basic Neigong Level 0, Strength 70! "
Although these two items weren't very rare, it would still cost a lot of merit points to exchange for them at the merit point exchange center! Moreover, these two skill books were very practical. The first few beginner generals that Yang Rui had subdued had also reached the maximum level in their basic neigong. Soon, they would be able to use the beginner neigong mantra. The Special Skill Book could also be a choice for the new beginner generals.
In addition, when Yang Rui was fighting the Yellow Scarf Intermediate General, he had sent a group of beginner generals and Fifth Grade bandits to search the Magistrate's Mansion's study and residence. It wasn't the first time these beginner generals and soldiers had done this. In total, they had found three valuable items for Yang Rui!
"Twenty-Four Chain Marksmanship: Special Skill Advanced Skill Book. Allows user to master the related special skill! Requirement: Beginner Neigong Level 0. Strength 80! "
"Breath Enhancing Talisman Water (3 sets): Peaceful Talisman Water. Consuming it can increase the cultivation speed of neigong. Usage Requirement: Beginner Neigong Level 0 and above. Note: Consuming it below Beginner Neigong Level will be dangerous! "
"Tempered Steel Spear: Silver Weapon. Attack 110-130. 0.1% chance of armor penetration. Usage Requirement: Martial Strength 75!"
Yang Rui was overjoyed to find that he had actually found an advanced gun-type special skill book. He was in need of a skill book of this kind!
However, after looking at its attributes and thinking about it, Yang Rui did not learn this special skill advanced skill book in the end. This spear type special skill advanced skill book was obviously of the same system as the special skill book dropped by the yellow turban intermediate general. However, judging from the spear skills that the Yellow Scarf Intermediate General displayed, it was not the same as Yang Rui's!
Yang Rui suspected that if he really learned this advanced skill book, his spear skills would lose their original characteristics and power, becoming something out of the ordinary! Therefore, Yang Rui was not in a hurry to use the skill book …
The Breath Enhancing Talisman Water was the second type of item that Yang Rui had obtained from the Yellow Scarf Intermediate General. Previously, Yang Rui had obtained a set of "Meditation Talisman Array" from the Tangyang County Magistrate's Mansion. It was also a consumable item. Due to the lack of time, Yang Rui was not willing to use it. He wondered if the effect would be better if it was combined with the Breath Enhancing Talisman Water that he had obtained this time!
As for the other Silver Weapon that he had obtained, Yang Rui did not care much about it. What he cared about now was soul-type equipment! Just like the Gold Rank "Tangxi Sword" that Yang Rui had obtained in Nanyang City. Although it had met the equipment requirements, it had been kept by Yang Rui! Not being compatible with the special skills that he had mastered was one aspect. It was also not a soul-type weapon that Yang Rui despised!
After about half a day, the soldiers had rested enough. However, the number of Yellow Scarf soldiers around the advanced village that Yang Rui and the others were in showed no signs of decreasing. Although several layers of them had collapsed under the attacks of the archers, these Yellow Scarf soldiers were still charging at the village with no regard for their lives.
Seeing this, Yang Rui gathered all the cavalry and charged out of the village. Only then did they manage to temporarily disperse the Yellow Scarf soldiers around the village. Taking advantage of this gap, Yang Rui stored all the archers and infantry in his storage ring, leaving only thirty beginner generals and one thousand five hundred Fourth Grade cavalrymen beside him. He then rushed towards the southwest.
However, the surrounding Yellow Scarf forces were too concentrated. Wherever Yang Rui's cavalry passed, a group of Yellow Scarf soldiers would appear from time to time. This caused quite a lot of hindrances for Yang Rui and the others! Even with the cavalry's speed advantage, they were disrupted and had to stop from time to time. They had to stop and fight for a while after traveling for a short distance!
At this point, almost a game day had passed. Zhang Bao would need at most four to five days to reach Quyang City from Guangzong City. According to Yang Rui's current speed, he might not be able to catch up to Zhang Bao's pace!
Therefore, Yang Rui directly turned towards the west when it was close to evening. He headed towards Quyang City. According to Yang Rui's plan, he would first reach Quyang City and then head south. This way, he would not miss out on Zhang Bao's troops. Although it would waste some time, it was the safest route!
The path that Yang Rui chose was not very smooth. There were Yellow Scarf forces constantly appearing from all directions. They would bring trouble to Yang Rui at any time! Therefore, it was not until two days later that Yang Rui arrived at a place 100 miles south of Quyang City!
After arriving at the Quyang to Guangzong City line, Yang Rui concluded that Zhang Bao's troops had yet to reach Quyang City. He immediately changed his route to the south and led his troops to once again hide in the day and move out at night. This was because the Yellow Scarf forces on this front line were even more concentrated than before. Although the movement speed was slower, it would not attract too much attention from the Yellow Scarf forces!
Most importantly, Yang Rui was here to stop Zhang Bao's Yellow Scarf forces. He needed to send people to find traces of Zhang Bao. During the day, due to the Yellow Scarf forces everywhere they went, it was very difficult for Yang Rui's soldiers to complete their investigation. Even though the cavalry had the advantage of speed, they did not dare to split up!
During the night, Yang Rui had the trump card of a Fifth Grade bandit leader. His stealth skill combined with the cover of the night was perfect for scouting! Yang Rui ordered all thirty-eight Fifth Grade bandit leaders to spread out and scout a fifty-kilometer radius with the main road from Guangzong to Quyang as the center. He hoped to be able to find out where Zhang Bao's Yellow Scarf Army was heading towards the east as soon as possible!
However, after four days, Yang Rui had already arrived at the eastern part of Flat Thorn, but he did not see even a shadow of Zhang Bao's forces! Yang Rui knew that it was very likely that he had already missed Zhang Bao's forces! This was because seven or eight game days had already passed. Even if Zhang Bao's forces were all infantrymen, they should have already reached Quyang City with their normal speed!
If there were no accidents. There were only two possibilities for the current situation. Perhaps Zhang Bao had already reached Quyang City before Yang Rui arrived at the southern part of Quyang City. Looking at the time, this possibility was rather low. The more likely possibility was that Zhang Bao did not take the official road and instead took a detour to reach Quyang City!
No matter what, Yang Rui had already done his best. Even if he could not stop Zhang Bao, he still decided to turn around and go to Quyang City to scout!
However, at this time, Yang Rui encountered an unexpected situation and was delayed by half a day!
Early in the morning, Yang Rui's forces were resting in an advanced village that he had just conquered. Before he could leave, his achievement points and points on his character panel started to increase rapidly! Yang Rui immediately became alert. This must be something happening at Mountain Town or Wutun Town in Jiang Ji!
It was very likely that the Yellow Scarf forces were besieging Yang Rui's territories, or at least one of them! Otherwise, there was no way to explain the increase in the two values! Moreover, based on the speed at which the achievement points and points were increasing, Yang Rui guessed that the number of people attacking was not small!
Yang Rui was immediately worried, but he quickly calmed down. In this situation, even if Yang Rui wanted to go back to help, there was no way he could do it! The fastest way was to commit suicide and teleport back. However, during the Yellow Scarf Uprising storyline, there was a time limit for logging in after death. Even if he committed suicide and teleported back, by the time he logged in again, it would be too late!
The good thing was that although the Merit Points and Accumulated Points increased quickly, it only lasted for about two hours! During this time, Yang Rui did not receive any system prompt about his territory falling into enemy hands. This meant that Yang Rui's territory had not fallen! Yang Rui was relieved!
Even though it had only been two hours, Yang Rui's achievement points and points had both increased by more than 30000 points. This showed how intense the battle was! Now that almost all the Yellow Scarf forces in Yan Province had been defeated, Yang Rui thought about it and came up with a possibility. There was a high probability that the players were behind this! However, Yang Rui was not sure who among the players was behind this!
It was because of this situation that Yang Rui's original plan to return to Qu Yang was delayed by half a day. When the matter was over and Yang Rui was about to leave, he heard from a soldier that there was a group of Yellow Scarf soldiers coming from the south. In the middle of the group, there was a large flag with the word "Zhang" written on it! The soldier who reported back guessed that the Yellow Scarf troops were most likely Zhang Bao's troops!
Yang Rui was very surprised. He did not understand why Zhang Bao's troops had only arrived after seven to eight days!
