Yang Rui noticed that most of the players outside of the valley were gathered around Magistrate Liu's Trade Town and its surrounding areas. The Trade Town, which originally brought Yang Rui a lot of benefits every day, had now become the frontline base for the enemy forces to attack Grand Mountain City!
When Magistrate Liu had first proposed to build this Trade Town, Yang Rui had considered many things. Now, it seemed that Magistrate Liu really did have the intention of reducing Grand Mountain City's development space! Now that someone had requested to attack Grand Mountain City, was this what he wanted?
In truth, a stable and thriving Grand Mountain City would bring Magistrate Liu a lot of benefits. Yang Rui was also very confused as to why Magistrate Liu would have such an attitude.
When Yang Rui arrived outside of Ao Lai Peak's entrance, the sky was just beginning to brighten. At this time, Ao Lai Peak was still unobstructed. Yang Rui only observed the situation of the attacking players from a distance before riding his Flying Carpet into Ao Lai Peak.
The Flying Carpet's speed was simply too fast. Moreover, it flew silently. The enemy forces gathered outside the valley only saw a flash before their eyes, and Yang Rui had already entered Ao Lai Peak. Yang Rui's actions didn't attract the enemy's attention.
The defense of the Grand Mountain City was rather weak at the moment. Otherwise, Yang Rui would have stayed outside the valley and attacked the enemy from both sides. As long as he blocked the entrance of Ao Lai Peak, the enemy players who entered the valley would become turtles in a jar.
With the strength of the people Yang Rui had brought with him, even if the enemy had the advantage in numbers, it shouldn't be too difficult to break through Ao Lai Peak's entrance through the narrow valley. There were eighty Beginner Generals and several hundred Fourth Grade and Fifth Grade Archers in his spatial ring and spatial pouch. With such a force in the limited space of the valley, it was almost impossible for the current players to stop them.
"My lord!"
"My lord!"
"Wang Hai (Zhang Tian) greets my lord …"
.....
Inside Ao Lai Peak's entrance, Wang Hai, Zhang Tian, and the others were speechless when they saw Yang Rui arrive. They were so excited that they couldn't speak. Only after a while did they remember to welcome Yang Rui into the entrance. With Yang Rui's return, the atmosphere inside Ao Lai Peak's entrance relaxed. One could clearly feel that the previously tense atmosphere had become much more relaxed!
After Yang Rui entered Ao Lai Peak's entrance, he met with everyone. He immediately released the soldiers from his spatial pouch and spatial pouch. Yang Rui placed them into Ao Lai Peak's entrance, especially the Beginner Generals and ranged Archers.
Next, Yang Rui arranged for Zhang Ning and Cheng Yu to guard the pass of Ao Lai Peak. Then, he brought Wang Hai to the outskirts of the Black Dragon Pool. Because the system notified him that the Xiongnu captives in the spatial ring were nearing the end of their lifespan, Yang Rui had no choice but to release them. Otherwise, they would all die in the spatial ring!
The space inside the spatial ring was similar to a static space. During this period, other than recovering their physical strength and cultivation methods, all other physiological activities were basically in a static state. However, there was a 12-hour survival time limit, so Yang Rui had no choice but to start releasing the captives at this critical juncture.
Fortunately, with Zhang Ning and Cheng Yu overseeing Ao Lai Peak's entrance, Yang Rui didn't have to worry about any emergencies. Moreover, Yang Rui only had them stay in a side room. Cheng Yu could use his ultimate skills to support the defense. He also warned them not to appear at the entrance unless it was an emergency. This was to avoid dampening the enthusiasm of Song of Gale's side. Since the other side dared to attack the city, Yang Rui naturally had to make them pay a heavy price!
As for the matter of settling the captives, he needed Wang Hai's assistance. There were already many refugees and refugees outside the Black Dragon Pool. Now, he needed Wang Hai to urgently move them to the inner region of the Black Dragon Pool. The empty region could then be used to settle the 20000 Xiongnu captives.
In order to prevent the Xiongnu captives from causing a commotion. Yang Rui mobilized the 10000 Yellow Turban Soldiers of Grand Mountain City to guard the Xiongnu captives. Two of the Xiongnu captains — Great Danghu Qiu Linfeng and Marquis Gudu Xu Tumu — had been moved out of the spatial ring and immediately trapped in the small Qiankun Pouch. At this moment, Yang Rui didn't have the time to deal with the two.
While moving the natives outside the Black Dragon Pool, Yang Rui also had Wang Hai bring Sun Qian to the Grand Mountain City's City Lord's Mansion. Although Sun Qian hadn't submitted to Yang Rui yet, he had already acknowledged his status as Yang Rui's subordinate. Therefore, there was no problem for him to cooperate with Yang Rui in defending Grand Mountain City.
"System Notice: Congratulations to player Blazing Sun. Your territory's Grand Mountain City has received the assistance of the 'Coordination' skill. The difficulty of all production processes in your territory has decreased by 100%. Liegeman's popularity has increased by 10 points."
"System Notice: Congratulations to player Blazing Sun. Your territory's Grand Mountain City has received the assistance of the 'Quick Effect' skill. Liegeman's efficiency has increased by 100%. Liegeman's loyalty has increased by 10 points. "
Not long after Sun Qian arrived at the Grand Mountain City's City Lord's Mansion, two consecutive system notifications came one after another. Sun Qian had actually used both of his support skills at the same time. The Liegeman's popularity and loyalty had increased by 10 points at the same time. At the same time, the difficulty of all production processes in the area and the efficiency of all production processes in the area had also increased! This was equivalent to the effect of a super efficiency scroll. Moreover, as long as Sun Qian didn't leave, this effect would continue!
With the buffs from Sun Qian's ultimate skill, the loyalty of the people of Great Mountain City, which was already very high to begin with, was almost maxed out. The stabilizing effect was immeasurable! This included those Liegeman who were still a little emotional about being suddenly moved. Under the effect of Sun Qian's skill, they had once again returned to their orderly production processes …
It was extremely rare for a person to use two support skills at the same time. Perhaps it was because Sun Qian was a user of efficiency skills that he had met the conditions to use both skills at the same time. With Sun Qian's two support skills, the development of his territory would definitely increase by a lot. At this moment, Yang Rui had already secretly decided that even if he had to use force, he would definitely keep Sun Qian by his side!
As the number of Xiongnu captives was simply too high, when Yang Rui's side had only released half of the captives, the players from Song of Tempest had already begun attacking the city!
"Kill!"
"Brothers, let's steal the world's number one city!"
"Kill! Kill them all! "
"Steal their money, steal their resources, steal their women! Brothers, let's work harder! "
“.....”
The words of the players were much more interesting than the words of the NPCs. When the time to attack the Grand Mountain City arrived, Song of Tempest's side had already organized the players to charge towards Ao Lai Peak's checkpoint.
Ao Lai Peak's interior was already very narrow. A narrow official road had already taken up most of the empty space in the valley. On both sides of the road were towering mountain walls. Therefore, even though Song of Tempest's side had over thirty to forty thousand players, they could only pass through the valley and arrive at Ao Lai Peak's checkpoint. The number of players who could engage the soldiers at the checkpoint at the same time was very limited.
In addition, Song of Tempest's side had only launched a probing attack at the beginning, so the density of players before the checkpoint was not very high. Therefore, the defenders at Ao Lai Peak's checkpoint did not face much pressure. Cheng Yu had not even used his support skills yet, so as to prevent the attacking players from being alerted too early, or else it would affect their "interest" in attacking the city.
Although Yang Rui was not at the checkpoint at the moment, he had already instructed the players not to kill too fiercely at the beginning of the siege, so as to give the enemy enough time to think.
Regardless of which side controlled Song of Tempest's side, the enemy wanted to take advantage of the absence of Yang Rui and the other elites to attack the Grand Mountain City. If Yang Rui had appeared at the checkpoint at the entrance of Ao Lai Valley, it would have been questionable whether or not he would have immediately retreated. Therefore, Yang Rui had allowed the defenders at the checkpoint to conserve their strength, so as to encourage Song of Tempest's side to attack, so as to deplete the enemy's strength.
The terrain near Ao Lai Peak had also created the conditions for Yang Rui's plan. Disregarding everything else, just the narrow and long Ao Lai Peak's terrain greatly limited the strength of the attackers, forcing the enemy to use tactics to slowly deplete their strength. However, by the time the other party realized that the defenders were deliberately showing weakness, their strength should have been depleted by then …
"Brothers, let's work harder! The Grand Mountain City's checkpoint is about to fall! "
"Ah! Help! "
"Yell! What are you yelling for? We've only died once! Kill them! "
"Archers, get ready … Fire!"
“.....”
As the siege went on, Song of Gale's side had 'gained some understanding' of the strength of the Grand Mountain Stronghold's defenders. Therefore, they ended their probing attacks and increased the intensity of their assault. Rows of wooden ladders were brought up and attached to Ao Lai Peak's stronghold. After a series of wooden ladders were attached to the walls of the stronghold, a large number of players began to climb up the wooden ladders. The stronghold looked like it was on the verge of collapse, as if it was going to collapse at any moment.
Song of Tempest's side attacked like a tidal wave. The Grand Mountain City's defenders at the checkpoint seemed to have reached their limit. There were still a few rows of Archers taking turns to fire arrows, but it was not enough to kill the attacking players. In fact, they could not even kill half of the attacking players. When the Archers appeared, the attention of the Grand Mountain City's Archers was completely attracted. Although the Grand Mountain City's Archers were quickly suppressed by the terrain advantage, it was clearly too late for them to turn around and defend against the climbing players.
Although there were foot soldiers around the Archers to assist in the defense, there were not many of them. Zhang Yang believed that once the city assaulters reached the top of the wooden ladder, they would be able to clear out all the foot soldiers!
