"… Now that the core tent of the Qiulin Tribe has been taken over by the Han Mutants, the whereabouts of the Great Danghu of the Qiulin Tribe, Qiu Linfeng, is unknown. His daughter, Qiu Linyan, has sent people to ask for help to stop the Han Mutants in the old city. What do you think?"
While Yang Rui was observing the situation of the Xiongnu core tent from the sand dune, he did not know that there was a plan for the players to attack the Xiongnu people in the tent. At this moment, a Xiongnu elder was asking for the opinions of a few of his leaders.
"Lord Gudu Marquis, I think that we should let Qiu Linyan and the Han Mutants tangle for a while before our tribe sends out troops to clean up the mess. This way, we can not only abide by the rules of the tribe, but also greatly weaken the strength of the Qiulin Tribe. In the end, we can even swallow up their people. Since the whereabouts of the Great Danghu of the Qiulin Tribe and its core tent are unknown, this is a great opportunity …"
Under the Xiongnu elder's question, someone immediately stood up and answered.
"Absolutely not!"
However, before this person finished speaking, another young man came up to stop him. "Our Xu Bo Tribe and the Qiulin Tribe have always been on good terms. Now that the Qiulin Tribe is in danger, how can we kick them when they are down!? Father, please reconsider. "
"Shaogu Marquis Shaogu is probably worried about Qiu Linyan! Hahaha … "
When the man heard what the young man said, he immediately laughed out loud and even made fun of him. From his words, one could tell that the young man was the Shaogu Marquis of the Xu Bo Tribe, the son of the elder in the middle.
The Shaogu Marquis called Shaogu Marquis did not take the man's words to heart. The Xiongnu people were very frank when speaking to each other in the same tribe. The more frank they were, the closer their relationship was!
"The close relationship between the Qiulin Tribe and our tribe is only one of the reasons. Our two tribes are newly strengthened tribes, and the other tribes have always been unconvinced of us. Therefore, our two tribes should be more ruthless to protect our tribe's position!
Of course, we can't deny it. My identity as Qiu Linyan is also an important factor. Moreover, Qiu Linyan's elder brother has always been serving the Great Danghu and is also my close friend. Moreover, he can speak a few words in front of the Great Danghu. Therefore, father, please reconsider this matter … "
.....
By now, Yang Rui had already roughly observed the Xiongnu core tent in front of him. He then hunched his body and walked along the shady side of the sand dune to observe the situation of the Xiongnu gathering around the tent. Overall, the scale of this Xiongnu tribe was slightly smaller than the Qiulin tribe. In terms of size and spread, they were not comparable to the Qiulin Tribe.
However, this was only a portion of what Yang Rui could see. Perhaps the Hun tribe's other large tents were larger in scale, or perhaps the terrain had limited the distribution of the Hun tribe. After all, the core of the Hun tribe was practically right next to the southern desert!
At this time, Yang Rui heard a call from outside the Xiongnu core tent. Yang Rui was startled. He thought that he had been discovered! In the end, he saw numerous Xiongnu youths riding their horses towards the direction of the core tent. Very quickly, a large group of them had gathered. The call from before was actually the signal for the Xiongnu to gather!
The scene was bustling with activity as wave after wave of Xiongnu rushed over. After about an hour, the number of Xiongnu that had gathered was at least twenty to thirty thousand people. Because Yang Rui was relatively far away, the Xiongnu army was able to gather a large number of Xiongnu. He was completely unable to hear the other party's words.
After these Xiongnu gathered together, they were led by a robust youth towards the west side of the central tent. There weren't many Xiongnu left in the originally noisy central tent!
It turned out that after a discussion, the few core members of Xu Bu's Xiongnu tribe had finally reached a consensus and decided to rescue the Qiulin tribe. Shaogu Marquis Xu Bu Sun would lead 25 thousand troops to the old city of Shuofang to rescue Qiu Linyan. Xu Bu Marquis Gudu himself would stay behind to guard the core tent in case the Han mutants came to harass them.
Actually, Xu Bu Sun's suggestion was that the number of troops needed to stay behind. There was no need to guard the main tent. Due to the desert acting as a natural barrier to the south of the core tent, the Han mutants would not be able to reach here unless they took a huge detour. However, if they did that, they would have to pass by the other Xiongnu tribes! But to be safe, Xu Bu Marquis Gudu himself stayed behind to guard against any eventuality.
At this time, Yang Rui was lying prone on the sand dune, carefully observing. He seemed to have grasped some crucial information. After lying prone for a while, Yang Rui quietly retreated. After that, Yang Rui took several detours in the desert. From the edge of the Xu Bu tribe, he left the desert and circled around the core tent of the Xiongnu tribe. At this point, Yang Rui had a rough understanding of the Xiongnu tribe.
In order to avoid attracting the attention of the Xiongnu tribe. After that, Yang Rui did not stay for long. He spent another two hours riding the Flying Carpet through the southern desert and returned to his tribe's resting place. It had to be said that even with the help of the Flying Carpet, Yang Rui's direction still deviated quite a bit. After exiting the desert, he finally arrived at Gao Shun's resting place after searching for a long time.
At this time, it was just past noon. The reason why Yang Rui rushed back so quickly was because he had already decided to ambush the Xu Bu tribe's core tent when it was empty. And the only way to ambush them was to cross the desert!
Under normal circumstances, this desert was very difficult to cross. Even if one were to ride a horse, it would take twelve to fourteen hours. Moreover, it was very easy to get lost in the desert! Because of this, even the native Xiongnu tribe would not choose to take this path. However, Yang Rui had the Flying Carpet, which was equivalent to having a directional navigation device. This was also the reason why Yang Rui had chosen to cross the desert!
After returning to his camp, Yang Rui gave a simple explanation of the situation to Cheng Yu, Sun Qian, Gao Shun, and Zhang Ning. He also described his plan to cross the desert and ambush them. He immediately received the approval of Cheng Yu, Sun Qian, and the others. Thus, Yang Rui reorganized his troops and once again stepped into the desert.
It was just past noon. Calculating the time based on the speed of the horses, it should be midnight when they reached the other side of the desert. It was just the right time to ambush the Xiongnu tribe's core tent.
However, Yang Rui only realized how difficult it would be when the cavalry truly stepped into the desert. Previously, Yang Rui had already placed all the beginner generals, archers, and bandit leaders into his storage ring, leaving only the cavalry outside. Even so, when the cavalry advanced on the sand dunes, the hooves of the horses would sink into the sand, causing their speed to drop by half!
If they were to continue walking at this speed, not to mention twelve to fourteen hours, it was very possible that they would walk for one or two days even if they took into account the exhaustion of their physical strength and other aspects! As such, it was hard to say what kind of situation they would face in the end …
"Sun Qian, come and help out as well …"
Facing such a situation, Sun Qian pondered for a moment before saying. Following which, he waved his hand and used a support skill.
"Speed Effect: Level 1 Support Skill. Movement efficiency increased by 100% …"
The information of Sun Qian's skill immediately appeared in Yang Rui's mission information window.
Sun Qian's support skill was actually an internal affairs type skill. Its main purpose was to increase the efficiency of various industries within the territory. It could only be used in the discussion room or the city lord's residence to achieve the effect of covering the entire territory. If it was used out of nowhere, it could only cover a very small area. It was impossible to use it on a large scale march. Even if Yang Rui only brought 2000 cavalry with him, this skill could only barely cover the entire area!
As Sun Qian was currently not subordinate to Yang Rui, Yang Rui was unable to check his personal information. Actually, Sun Qian also had a level 1 support skill – Coordination. It was also an internal affairs type skill and was of the same system as the 'Speed Effect' skill. The two could complement each other to achieve the best results.
Yang Rui was currently unaware of this point. Regardless, with Sun Qian's' Speed Effect 'support skill, Yang Rui's 2000 cavalry troops regained their normal speed. The entire troop was able to smoothly reach the vicinity of the Xu Bu tribe's main tent at midnight.
When they were about 40 to 50 li away from the main tent, Yang Rui halted the entire troop's advance. He ordered his troops to rest and reorganize for 2 hours to recover their strength in preparation for the upcoming surprise attack on the Hun tribe's main tent.
Until 10 AM, Yang Rui released Zhang Ning, Cheng Yu, Sun Qian and the rest, as well as all the archers and bandit leaders. He led the 3000 men towards the Hun tribe's main tent on the northern side of the desert. Gao Shun had been leading the troops on horseback.
Due to the participation of the infantry, Yang Rui and the rest did not advance quickly. It was only when they neared the Hun tribe's main tent that Yang Rui released his speed and allowed them to freely attack.
With the experience of a surprise attack on the Hun tribe, Yang Rui, Gao Shun, Zhang Ning, Cheng Yu, Sun Qian and the rest, as well as 80 junior generals, charged at the front of the troop. They did not attack the surrounding ordinary Hun tribe tents, but instead headed straight for the Hun tribe's main tent. Hence, they quickly reached the vicinity of the Xu Bu tribe's main tent.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh! Crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle … boom! "
Under Yang Rui's signal, Zhang Ning first released a Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain. The sky was filled with flames and the Hun tribe's main tent was suddenly engulfed in a sea of fire!
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Ah …"
