With no other forces fighting nearby, Yang Rui was able to loot the Xu Bub Tribe's Hun Tribe's central tent without worry. The five hundred thousand gold coins was only the tip of the iceberg. Yang Rui's loot included equipment, skill books, resources, and the like. Every item was several times more valuable than what he had obtained in the Hill Forest Tribe. If it weren't for Yang Rui's storage ring, he probably wouldn't have been able to carry so many items.
Correspondingly, Yang Rui's losses in the process were slightly higher. He lost over a hundred Fourth Grade cavalrymen, and only ten or so Fourth and Fifth Grade archers, as they had remained at the rear of the cavalry. Meanwhile, the Fifth Grade bandit leader and eighty beginner generals were fortunate enough to remain unharmed!
Although such losses were higher than the previous battle in the Hill Forest Tribe, it wasn't too high. It was still within the range that Yang Rui could accept. However, he would have to spend some Yellow Turban Uprising plot points to revive them, as long as they didn't revive more than twice. It would cost around a hundred thousand points. Compared to the gains that Yang Rui had made, it was worth it.
There were still three days left to loot the Xu Bub Tribe's Hun Tribe. After Yang Rui 'emptied' the Xu Bub Tribe's central tent, he gathered all the generals and soldiers apart from the cavalrymen into his storage ring. He then rode his Flying Carpet to the west once again.
These generals and soldiers could rest and recover their strength in Yang Rui's storage ring. They could also use Yang Rui's Flying Carpet to move around quickly. It was very convenient for them to deal with the upcoming battle. Some of the Xu Bub Tribe's Hun Tribe had already managed to escape from Yang Rui's ambush. If Yang Rui had been any slower, the rest of the Xu Bub Tribe would have received the news very quickly!
The remaining two thousand cavalrymen were led by Gao Shun. They set up camp and settled down after leaving the Hun Tribe's central tent a short distance to the east. Among Yang Rui's subordinates, these cavalrymen were the ones who needed the most rest. They had crossed the desert alone and were the main force in the ambush of the Hun Tribe's central tent. Many of them were even injured!
The Flying Carpet's usefulness was highlighted at this time. Under Yang Rui's control, it caught up with the dozen or so Xiongnu who had escaped from the Xu Bo Tribe's central tent. After Yang Rui raided the Xu Bou Tribe's core camp, many of the Xiongnu chose to flee towards the west. This did not escape the eyes of Yang Rui and the rest. Hence, Yang Rui chose to pursue in this direction. He suspected that there might be a larger gathering point of the Xu Bou Tribe to the west!
"Huo!"
"Ugh …"
Yang Rui caught up with the fleeing Xiongnu. Most of them were cut down by Yang Rui before they could even figure out what was going on. Soon, most of the Xiongnu that had managed to escape had died at the hands of the pursuing Yang Rui. Not a single Xiongnu could be found in front of them.
However, Yang Rui did not stop there. His main target was the other gathering points of the Xu Bo Tribe, not the fleeing Xiongnu! Indeed, less than fifteen minutes after Yang Rui gave chase, he had already arrived at a campsite. They had already arrived in front of the Xiongnu tents. This was a rather large gathering place for the Xu Bo Tribe, which confirmed Yang Rui's previous guess!
If the Hun Tribe's central tent was compared to a large city, then an ordinary Xiongnu gathering point would be equivalent to a small town or even a small village. Whether it was in terms of offense or defense, it could not be compared to the central tent.
Although the scale of this Xiongnu gathering point that Yang Rui discovered was not small, Yang Rui had already released all the soldiers from his storage ring. Under the circumstances of another surprise attack, the Xiongnu gathering point was quickly under Yang Rui's complete control. Only a few young and strong Xiongnu managed to escape. The rest of the Xiongnu were either slaughtered by Yang Rui or turned into Yang Rui's captives. This Xiongnu gathering point was completely swept clean by Yang Rui …
Before dawn, Yang Rui used the advantage of the Flying Carpet's high speed to find and 'visit' the other two gathering points of the Xu Bo Tribe. Then, he circled around and returned to the east of the Xu Bo Tribe's central tent, meeting up with Gao Shun and the rest.
By now, Yang Rui's cavalry had more or less recovered. Thus, Yang Rui led them and continued east without stopping. While searching for the other Xu Bo Tribe gathering points, Yang Rui once again separated himself from his subordinates and led the way in search of the Xiongnu gathering points.
At this time, the Flying Carpet's usefulness was once again displayed. With Yang Rui riding the Flying Carpet at the front, the difficulty of searching for the Xu Bo Tribe's Xiongnu gathering points was greatly reduced. Thus, it saved a lot of time and also prevented Yang Rui's subordinates from taking detours!
In a day's time, Yang Rui had already led his troops to destroy and loot seven to eight Xiongnu gathering points. In addition to the three that Yang Rui had looted during the night, Yang Rui had visited a total of eleven Xu Bo Tribe gathering points. The equipment, skill books and resources he obtained were more or less equal to what he obtained from the Xu Bo Tribe's central tent. The amount of gold he obtained had also reached close to 200,000 gold coins and the number of captives had reached 20000!
One had to admit that this number of captives was extremely shocking. The small Storage Ring was only a Fine Steel grade equipment and its internal space was only 100 * 100 * 100 cubic meters! Previously, the largest number of captives was when Yang Rui had transferred 10000 Yellow Scarf Soldiers from Western Liang to Dashan City. Now, the number of captives in the Storage Ring had exceeded 20000, which was double the number of Yellow Scarf Soldiers. Apart from the captives, the Storage Ring also stored a large amount of resources!
The storage method of the Storage Ring had to be explained here. Although 100 * 100 * 100 cubic meters of space seemed very large, the Storage Ring was not divided into layers like a backpack. Therefore, when placing captives, the Storage Ring could only be placed on one layer!
For example, right now, all the captives were standing on top of the resources. Yang Rui had also tried his best to pile up the resources in the limited space to create a larger surface area to accommodate over 20000 captives! Even so, the number of captives in the Storage Ring had reached a point where they were practically standing on top of each other!
In some emergency situations, Yang Rui would also need to place the infantry soldiers into the Storage Ring. As such, the space within the Storage Ring became even more limited. Yang Rui even took out the small Qiankun Pouch that he had not used for a long time.
Early the next morning, Yang Rui used the same method to lead his men and successfully ransacked three or four Xiongnu settlements. However, he discovered that three groups of Xiongnu were encircling his men. Moreover, each group consisted of over 10,000 Xiongnu. Fortunately, Yang Rui had the help of the Flying Carpet and was able to discover them in time!
However, when Yang Rui led his men to avoid them, he discovered that the Xiongnu were very likely aware of their movements! This was because no matter how Yang Rui circled, advanced, and retreated, the three Xiongnu armies would quickly follow the rhythm of Yang Rui's troops. It was very obvious that they had grasped the movements of Yang Rui's troops!
Although Yang Rui did not know how the Xiongnu armies were able to grasp the movements of his troops, they were eventually chased to the vicinity of the desert, a location not too far away from the Xu Bu Tribe's main tent! In a situation where the enemy was strong and he was weak, Yang Rui immediately led his men into the desert. He wanted to see how the three Xiongnu armies could catch up!
Indeed, after Yang Rui's troops entered the desert, the three Xiongnu armies seemed to have lost track of Yang Rui's movements and did not appear in Yang Rui's vision again. Seeing that the Xiongnu armies had not caught up, Yang Rui circled around the edge of the desert once before returning to the northern region of the desert after a few hundred li of distance.
When Yang Rui's troops had just rested for a while, Yang Rui used his Flying Carpet to scout the surrounding area. However, he discovered that the three Xiongnu armies that he had shaken off were actually closing in on his troops. Although they were still tens of li apart, they were still a huge problem!
After a discussion with Gao Shun, Zhang Ning, Cheng Yu, and Sun Qian, Yang Rui concluded that their movements in the northern region of the desert had already alerted the Xiongnu armies. Moreover, the Xiongnu armies definitely had some special methods to obtain their location. It would be very difficult for them to achieve anything!
Therefore, after a discussion, Yang Rui decided to temporarily return to the southern region of the desert and see if he could be of any use in the battle between the players and the Qiulin tribe. Perhaps, he could borrow the strength of the players and continue to obtain some battle results. Furthermore, he also wanted to see if he could obtain some benefits from the old city of Shuo Fang …
Under the guidance of the Flying Carpet, Yang Rui's troops once again traversed the desert region and spent an entire half a day. By the time Yang Rui's troops had reached the southern region of the desert, it was already past midnight. Yang Rui decided to simply have his infantry and cavalry set up camp at the southern region of the desert and rest.
When the sky gradually brightened, just as Yang Rui was about to gather his troops and set off again, he unexpectedly received a system notification.
"System Notification: Respected player Blazing Sun, due to player Song of the Wind using the Territory Challenge Token, he has requested to challenge your Territory Dashan City. He has been approved by both Juping County and Taishan County. He will be launching an attack on your Territory 1 game day later. Player, please prepare for battle!
.....”
Yang Rui's heart sank when he heard the notification. This was a deliberate attempt to cause trouble! Moreover, Yang Rui did not expect the Juping County Magistrate to be approved for the challenge!
After the system update, there were changes to the rules of mutual attack and defense between players' Territories. Although the system did not explicitly state it, Yang Rui who had a lifetime of gaming experience knew the rules very well. Using the Challenge Token to attack a city was an effective method.
