Due to the terrain outside the eastern city being high on the inside and low on the outside, the flood uncontrollably spread towards the east. Everywhere the flood passed, the raging fires were not completely extinguished. Instead, many of the flames were still burning along with the floating objects and were gradually transported into the auxiliary river by the flood.
More and more flammable floating objects gathered in the auxiliary river, to the point that even the poplar trees that the Western Qiang army used to cross the river were slowly being ignited! Seeing this, Yang Rui controlled the hurricane to wreak havoc on the auxiliary river for a while, almost turning the entire river into a blazing sea of fire!
The effect of the 'Wind Rider Talisman' only lasted for an hour. Furthermore, Yang Rui discovered that crossing the auxiliary river was already the maximum distance that the hurricane could reach. Thus, Yang Rui could only bring the fire to the other side of the river and was unable to continue deeper into the rebel camp.
Even so, within the one hour time limit of the 'Wind Rider Talisman', the Western Qiang army had already suffered heavy casualties and had voluntarily retreated a considerable distance! After the one hour time limit had passed, the Western Qiang army finally dared to return to their positions near the auxiliary river.
However, the surface of the auxiliary river was not peaceful. It had not been long since the fire spread into the river and the floating objects were still burning fiercely. Even though Zhang Ning had said that the Heavenly Spirit Flaming Rain did not exceed the category of ordinary fire, according to Yang Rui's observation, it had already reached the peak of ordinary fire and was very powerful. Moreover, the flammable objects on the auxiliary river were not few in number. Thus, the surface of the auxiliary river was still burning fiercely.
After another hour or so, the fire on the auxiliary river finally stopped. Thick smoke rose everywhere and covered the entire surface of the river. In broad daylight, the situation on the other side of the river could not be clearly seen! Fortunately, the fire outside Le Capital had not completely subsided and the rebel army could still vaguely see the outline of the city!
When the fire on the east side of Le Capital had also gradually subsided, there was not much time left for the Western Qiang army to attack the city. At this moment, a commotion broke out behind the Western Qiang army! It turned out that Yang Rui had used his storage ring and Flying Carpet to transport the remaining five to six thousand Yellow Turban First Grade soldiers out of Le Capital through the Half Moon Lake to the north of the city. They took a detour and launched a sneak attack on the Western Qiang rebel army!
These First Grade Yellow Turban Army soldiers all required Yang Rui's points to revive. Due to the delay caused by the fire, Yang Rui was worried that he would miss the chance to send them to their deaths. Thus, he took the initiative to send them out. Because the storage speed of the storage ring was limited by the system, the entire process took Yang Rui an entire two hours!
Of course, before sending the First Grade Yellow Scarf Soldiers to their deaths, Yang Rui took out all the items they had picked up while defending the banks of the auxiliary river. This was to prevent them from working for nothing after it exploded.
The Western Qiang rebels wanted to make use of the remaining time to attack Yue Du City, but they did not expect to be harassed by a large number of Yellow Turban Soldiers. Although they did not expend much effort to wipe out the Yellow Turban Soldiers, this delay wasted a lot of time!
By the time the Western Qiang rebel army had managed to cross the messy Fu River and reached the eastern wall of Le Du, Yang Rui's time limit was almost up! At this moment, the exhausted soldiers defending the city had already recovered. In particular, the 1600 Fourth Grade and Fifth Grade Archers had recovered most of their stamina. Their attacks were once again sharp as they faced the Western Qiang rebel army.
Both sides were once again caught in a stalemate. However, there was not much time left for the Western Qiang rebels. Yang Rui's six game days of defending Le Du City was almost up!
"System Notification: Esteemed player Blazing Sun, congratulations on completing the second phase of the 'Qiang's Origin' mission – Defend Le Du City. For six game days, you have obtained mission item – Qiang Unique Equipment Component. Monetary reward: 1000 gold coins. "
After a little more than fifteen minutes, the system notification of the completion of the second phase of the 'Qiang's Origin' mission had arrived. The Western Qiang rebel army that was attacking Le Du City hastily retreated, only stopping when they reached the river outside Le Du City. It was only now that Yang Rui let out a long sigh of relief!
"System Notification: Esteemed player Blazing Sun, as you have completed the second phase of the 'Qiang's Origin' mission, you have demonstrated sufficient strength and caused the Western Qiang rebel army to revere you. The messenger of the Western Qiang rebel army leader, Beigong Boyu, will arrive in one game day to negotiate with you! Player, please make the necessary preparations. "
The next system notification was not related to the continuation of the mission. The Western Qiang rebel army leader, Beigong Boyu, actually wanted to send someone to negotiate with Yang Rui?! This was something that Yang Rui did not expect. He originally thought that after the second phase of the mission was completed, the system would either complete the mission or give him a notification about the next phase of the mission. He did not expect that there would be a 'negotiation'.
He looked at the Western Qiang rebel army outside Le Du City. Ever since they had retreated to the river, they had set up camp and had no intention of continuing their attack. They were probably waiting for the messenger sent by Beigong Boyu to arrive.
Currently, the Western Qiang rebel army had been reduced from over two million to less than one million. This could be seen from the number of 'Western Qiang Rebel Army Extermination Mission Verification' that Yang Rui had obtained. Within the two hours that Yang Rui had used the 'Imperial Wind Talisman' and 'Flood Talisman'. The number of verification missions that Yang Rui obtained had increased by almost 20000. The total number of verification missions that he had obtained had reached 21800.
This meant that within the three hours that the Western Qiang rebel army had attacked Le Du City, Yang Rui had killed more than one million rebel soldiers. This number was absolutely shocking. At the same time, it was also something that Yang Rui had not expected before he started defending the city.
Yang Rui had obtained quite a number of verification missions. However, the skill books and equipment that the Western Qiang rebel army had dropped were not many. Most of them were scattered in the area between Le Du City and the river. Furthermore, some of them had been taken away by the Western Qiang rebel army when they retreated.
After the Western Qiang rebel army had retreated to the river, Yang Rui immediately resurrected 10000 Yellow Turban Soldiers in the City Lord's Mansion. He also tried to send some of them to clean up the battlefield.
At the same time, Yang Rui also noticed that these Yellow Turban Soldiers had completely belonged to him after they were resurrected. The most obvious sign was that these Yellow Turban Soldiers had an additional "loyalty" attribute in their character information. The 10000 Yellow Turban First Grade Soldiers who had used the "Yellow Turban Class Change Order" before they were resurrected did not have the "loyalty" attribute. This was the only difference between them and other soldiers.
After the Yellow Turban Soldiers exited the east gate of Le Du City, they started to try to clean up the battlefield near the east wall. At the same time, Yang Rui also paid close attention to the Western Qiang rebel army's actions on the other side of the river. After fifteen minutes of this, the Western Qiang rebel army had completely ignored the Yellow Turban Soldiers' actions. They had no intention of stopping them.
Yang Rui tried to send out another one to two thousand Yellow Turban Soldiers to clean up the battlefield. However, the Western Qiang rebel army on the other side of the river did not move at all. At this point, Yang Rui felt a lot more relieved. He started to send out more Yellow Turban Soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
In the end, Yang Rui sent out all 10000 Yellow Turban Soldiers outside the city gate. With the obstruction of the river, even if the enemy wanted to interfere, just crossing the river would take a lot of time. Moreover, these First Grade Yellow Turban Soldiers still had one chance to be resurrected. Even if there were casualties, Yang Rui could spend points to resurrect them.
Ten thousand Yellow Turban Soldiers were sent to clean up the battlefield. They were like a whirlwind that swept away the clouds as they pushed towards the river bank. Even though the Western Qiang rebel army had already taken away some of the dropped items, the rebel army had retreated very quickly. Only a few soldiers at the rear managed to take away a few items. Most of the items were left behind.
As such, the ten thousand Yellow Turban Soldiers had a bountiful harvest. Most of the soldiers had to make two or three trips back to the city to unload the items they had picked up. By the time the Yellow Turban Soldiers had cleaned up the area around the river, two hours had already passed. During this time, the Western Qiang rebel army did not do anything out of the ordinary. They remained near their tents.
The Yellow Turban Soldiers had brought back a bountiful harvest. There were all sorts of equipment, skill books, resources, and all sorts of miscellaneous items. After a round of cleaning, the most valuable items were the skill books. In total, they had obtained five basic beginner internal cultivation techniques, six advanced special skill books, twenty-two internal cultivation techniques, twenty-six special skill books, 361 Fifth Grade Warrior skill books, 289 Fifth Grade Mounted Archer skill books (Qiang Tribe Exclusive), 484 Fourth Grade Infantry skill books, and a large number of Second and Third Grade skill books.
In particular, the beginner and intermediate general skill books and the Fifth Grade Warrior skill books were all extremely valuable. One of the main reasons Yang Rui had come here was for the Fifth Grade Warrior skill books!
Of course, apart from the skill books, there were also a large number of valuable items. Just the gold alone had reached over 23000 gold coins! Once again, Yang Rui had a taste of how quick it was to make money in war. There were also plenty of other resources that could be directly exchanged for gold and silver. Naturally, Yang Rui had made a fortune.
After roughly sorting out the items and packing them up, when night fell, Yang Rui rested for a bit before bringing Zhang Ning and all of the primary level generals with the exception of Li Dong, using the Wind Carpet to leave Yue Capital from the western half moon lake.
Even though the Western Qiang Rebel Army had stopped moving, it did not mean that Yang Rui would sit back and wait for peace talks. Although they had been besieged by the Western Qiang Rebel Army for half a day and everyone was tired, Yang Rui still decided to sneak out of the city and attack the Western Qiang Rebel Army's camp.
Although Yang Rui had received a system notification, it only mentioned that Beigong Boyu's emissary would be coming for peace talks. It didn't say that both sides had to stop fighting. The Western Qiang rebels' unilateral retreat was probably the system's default setting. However, the system didn't restrict Yang Rui from retaliating.
"Help!"
"Quick! There's a fire! "
"Put out the fire!"
