After receiving the system prompt that Mountain City was about to be attacked, Yang Rui couldn't be indifferent. He gathered Gao Shun, Zhang Ning, Cheng Yu, and Sun Qian to discuss this matter urgently, while putting a group of junior generals and archers into the storage ring and small Qiankun bag.
"Blazing Sun doesn't have to worry too much. Now in Mountain City, there are more than a dozen junior generals, seven or eight hundred archers of various ranks, and the number of infantry is even more. Only the ten thousand yellow turban soldiers, with the defense of the checkpoint, should be able to block the enemy for a while.
And although this place is far from Mountain City, Blazing Sun has the Flying Carpet as a means of transportation. If he hurries at full speed, he may be able to reach Mountain City in time … "
Yang Rui briefly explained the current situation facing Mountain City to Gao Shun and others, and Cheng Yu said after listening.
"Exactly! Currently, we are around three to four hundred kilometers north of the old city. With the speed of the Flying Carpet, Provincial Governor Lieyang would not make it in time to rush back to the Grand Mountain City. However, he could still rush to the nearest cities and use the teleportation formation to return to the Grand Mountain City!
According to Sun Qian's analysis, among the several cities of the Great Han Dynasty, the Shangjun is the closest to here. He only needs to go through the old city of Shuo Fang and cross the Hetao Plain to reach it. The terrain is also the flattest road. Under normal horse speed, he can reach Shangjun in about three or four game days, and with the Flying Carpet, it will only take half a day!
But due to the current Qiang Hu rebellion, this road is not very safe. Even if he can reach Shangjun, whether the transmission array can still be used normally will be a problem!
The second road is to go east from here, through Jiu Yuan, Yunzhong, turn south, pass through Yanmen, and enter Dai County. Although this road has rugged terrain, it is very inconvenient to move. Under normal circumstances, it may not be possible to reach it in seven or eight days, but it is a very safe choice. Dai County's transmission array will definitely work!
At the same time, Blazing Sun has the help of the Flying Carpet, and the terrain restrictions are not great. I believe that within a day, he is still very confident to reach Dai County. "
At the same time that Cheng Yu made his suggestion. Sun Qian also used his familiarity with administrative geography to provide Yang Rui with two choices. His analysis was very detailed. It had to be said that with the assistance of Cheng Yu and Sun Qian, Yang Rui had a much easier time!
From the very beginning, Yang Rui had thought of using the Wind Carpet to travel to a certain city, then using the teleportation formation to return to Grand Mountain City. This was also the reason why he was in a hurry to transfer the beginner generals and soldiers into the storage ring. However, Yang Rui did not expect there to be so many restrictions. Moreover, it would take such a long time to get to the nearest city!
Fortunately, with Sun Qian's reminder, Yang Rui finally chose to rush to Dai County! After putting all the beginner generals and archers into a small spatial bag and a storage ring, Gao Shunlai left all the remaining Fifth Grade bandits, Yang Rui, behind. This included all the cavalry. All of them were now under Gao Shunlai's command!
This was also the decision Yang Rui had made after repeatedly weighing the pros and cons. Without the cavalry, Gao Shun would be a great help in the upcoming battle to defend Grand Mountain City! However, Yang Rui's two thousand Fourth Grade cavalry needed a general to lead them. Of all the candidates in Yang Rui's hands, Gao Shun was undoubtedly the most suitable.
Even with Gao Shun as the leader and Yang Rui leaving the bandit leader to Gao Shun, it was unrealistic to expect Gao Shun to achieve anything in the Hun territory alone. It was still possible if all two thousand cavalry were soldiers of the Breakthrough Battalion!
Thus, before leaving, Yang Rui and Gao Shun agreed to meet at Dai County. Once Yang Rui was free, he would come to meet up with Gao Shun. At the same time, Yang Rui didn't forget to give Gao Shun enough food and money to cover his expenses along the way. It was only then that he hurriedly stepped onto the road to Dai County.
The direction to Dai County was easy to grasp. Sun Qian had already given Yang Rui a hint before this. He only needed to follow the Yellow River to the southeast until he reached the Great Wall. After that, he would reach Yanmen. After that, he would arrive at Dai County! Thus, Yang Rui only needed to continuously inject internal energy into the Flying Carpet and drive it along this path.
Now, on the Flying Carpet, Yang Rui finally had time to consider this sudden attack.
First of all. This time, the person who launched the attack on Da Shan City was called Song of Gale. However, this person was probably someone else's tool. The real mastermind was probably someone else. Otherwise, how could a mere high-grade town have the strength to challenge the 'Number One City under the Heavens'?
The maximum population limit for a high-level town was 40000 people. If the population of a territory was balanced, the population limit would be 40000. If the population was in a high-grade town, how many soldiers would be able to participate in the battle? If nothing unexpected happened, Yang Rui believed that Song of Gale would definitely bring 40000 people to attack the city. This point would soon be verified.
Yang Rui even had reason to suspect that the mastermind behind this attack was someone from the six major player factions that came with Yang Rui to attack the Hun Tribe! Only these people knew Yang Rui's whereabouts the best. At the same time, they also knew that Yang Rui had brought a lot of troops with him. Moreover, the timing of the attack was so coincidental. It was inevitable that Yang Rui would have doubts about this.
This made Yang Rui think of the attack on Da Shan City in the Yellow Turban Uprising storyline. It was hard to say whether these two attacks were from the same person or the same faction.
In fact, Yang Rui had chosen to cooperate with the major factions for two reasons. On one hand, the disparity in military strength was too great. If he did not find someone to cooperate with, it would be difficult for him to have the opportunity to launch a punitive expedition against the Xiongnu in the short term. On the other hand, Yang Rui wanted to increase his understanding of these player factions by cooperating with them. After all, Yang Rui had yet to resolve the grudges from his previous life!
Therefore, it could be said that Song of the Gale's surprise attack on Dashan City, and even the previous attack when they were still at the town level, might not necessarily be a bad thing. There was no such thing as an airtight wall in the world. Perhaps Yang Rui would be able to find some clues from this!
Of course, this was also under the condition that Yang Rui could successfully defend Da Shan City. Otherwise, the losses would be great. At the current stage of the game, although attacking and defending a player's territory would not result in the transfer of ownership of the territory, if a player's territory was attacked by another player, the player would lose a level. Disregarding other losses, just the loss of a player's territory level would be unbearable for normal players.
Secondly, and the thing that surprised Yang Rui the most was the attitude of Juping County Magistrate Liu. In fact, at the current stage of the game, the orthodoxy of Han Dynasty had not been lost. Basically, it did not encourage players to attack each other's territories. Even if there were special items that could trigger a battle between territories, as long as the territory's owner did not approve of it, players would not be able to engage in a territory war.
It was because of this reason that Yang Rui did not expect his territory to be suddenly threatened. If not for this situation, Yang Rui might have left more defensive forces behind. Not to mention other things, if he left the 80 Beginner Generals in the Storage Ring in Da Shan City, although the pressure of conquering the Xiongnu would increase, Da Shan City's territory would be very stable.
While thinking, Yang Rui had already urged the Flying Carpet to cross the Yellow River several times, passing through Jiu Yuan to reach Yunzhong. With Yang Rui's current Inner Strength, it should be enough to urge the Flying Carpet to reach Daixian. However, in order to preserve his strength, Yang Rui still used the Formation Jade Talisman during the break. This way, Yang Rui only needed to control the direction of the Flying Carpet and did not even need to use Inner Strength.
Sun Qian's calculation was quite accurate. Although Yang Rui reached Yunzhong after eight to eight hours, the following road was very difficult. It was not as flat as before. Although the Flying Carpet's speed was not affected, the uneven terrain undoubtedly increased the distance by a lot. Moreover, it would interfere with the judgment of direction, causing Yang Rui to take a wrong path.
By the time Yang Rui arrived at the Gate of Yanmen, it had already taken more than eight hours. There were only six hours left before Da Shan City was attacked!
Yang Rui spent a lot of effort to pass through the Gate of Yanmen. At first, the guards of the Gate of Yanmen would not let Yang Rui pass no matter what, even if they offered him money. It was not until Yang Rui revealed his identity as the Governor of Qingzhou and Deputy General that the guards of the Gate of Yanmen were willing to accept Yang Rui's gift and finally let Yang Rui pass.
According to the guards of the Gate of Yanmen, in recent days, there were several groups of players near the Gate of Yanmen competing for some resources. Therefore, the soldiers were ordered to guard more strictly. As Yang Rui only wanted to return to Da Shan City as soon as possible, he did not pay too much attention to this matter.
After passing through the Gate of Yanmen and arriving at Dai County, Yang Rui let out a long sigh of relief. There were still six hours left before Da Shan City was attacked and it would take another two hours for Dai County to open its gates. There was still plenty of time, so Yang Rui waited outside Dai County's gates without worry.
As soon as Dai County's gates opened, Yang Rui was the first to enter the city and quickly arrived at the teleportation formation. In the two hours that he was waiting for the gates to open, Yang Rui had already made up his mind. In order to avoid attracting the attention of people in Juping County, Yang Rui chose to teleport to Dong Ah County.
After exiting Dong Ah County's gates, Yang Rui rode on the Flying Carpet and headed towards Da Shan City in the northeast. According to Yang Rui's rough calculations, it would take at most two hours to get from Dong Ah County to Da Shan City. There was still plenty of time.
When Yang Rui rode on the Flying Carpet and neared the entrance of Ao Lai Peak, there were already a large number of players gathered at the entrance of the valley ready to attack the city. There seemed to be more than thirty to forty thousand players!
