Dian Wei! Yang Rui was briefly stunned when he heard the name. He did not expect to meet such a tough man here. Naturally, Yang Rui would not miss the opportunity to meet him. He immediately walked to Dian Wei.
"This warrior's strength is not small!"
Yang Rui stepped forward and praised Dian Wei. Then, he took off a silver-level sword from his waist and put it on Dian Wei's shoulder.
The Silver-level sword had been used by Yang Rui as an accessory. All the other dukes had their own swords, and Yang Rui had been given the Silver-level longsword at the suggestion of someone else. It was only for decoration, and its properties were naturally very ordinary. It was a perfect gift for Dian Wei.
"Thank you, General Dian Wei!"
Receiving the sword that Yang Rui gave him, Dian Wei bowed deeply. At this moment, the flag of the Tooth Gate in his hand had been taken over by other soldiers. Obviously, Dian Wei was sincerely grateful for Yang Rui's gift of the sword.
In fact, although Yang Rui's sword was only silver, it was much better than the weapons in the hands of the guards and soldiers. Dian Wei had to cherish it. More importantly, although Dian Wei did not recognize Yang Rui's specific identity, he knew that Yang Rui and his companions were all vassals. Therefore, Yang Rui's gift of the sword was even more valuable.
"I wonder if Meng Zhuo is willing to give up his treasure and give Dian Wei to me. Blazing Sun will definitely treat him well and offer a sufficient price in return!"
Now that he had run into Dian Wei, Yang Rui naturally had to fight for him. Therefore, he proposed the idea to Zhang Miao, the governor of Chen County, who was Dian Wei's current vassal.
Zhang Miao, the governor of Chen County, was relatively short and could be compared to his good friend Cao Cao. He was one of the few vassals who did not wear armor and only dressed like a scholar. Although he also had a sword on his waist, it served the same purpose as Yang Rui's sword. It was merely for decoration!
When Zhang Miao heard Yang Rui's words, he began to plan his next move. He didn't want to give away such a brave guard as Dian Wei, but seeing that Yang Rui valued him so much, he couldn't refuse him directly. So, he didn't say anything for a while.
"Blazing Sun appreciates Dian Wei very much. Please fulfill my wish, Brother Meng Zhuo! Whatever you need, Brother Meng Zhuo, please let me know. Whether it's gold, silver, silk, or other requests, Lie Yang will do his best to fulfill them! "
Yang Rui had seen Zhang Miao's expression and guessed his attitude. However, Yang Rui still did not want to give up so easily, so he said more straightforwardly.
"If it were a normal situation, I would be more than happy to fulfill your wish. However, General Blazing Sun, please don't take away Dian Wei's love! Hahaha! "Zhang Miao finally opened his mouth and said, dealing with Yang Rui in a clever way.
"Alas! Since Meng Zhuo has put it this way, let's put it aside for now. "
Yang Rui said helplessly, but he still reminded Zhang Miao with pity, "Since Meng Zhuo values Dian Wei, don't make him a guard anymore. You should let him show his strength as soon as possible …"
That was what Meng Zhuo said. As a matter of fact, Yang Rui was speaking to Dian Wei. He and Zhang Miao had never strayed far from Dian Wei since the beginning. Therefore, Dian Wei heard their entire conversation.
"Of course …"
Since he had to consider Dian Wei's feelings, Zhang Miao was put in a passive position by Yang Rui's words. According to Yang Rui, it seemed that Dian Wei would be a waste if he followed Yang Rui! In fact, Zhang Miao had never paid much attention to Dian Wei before. It was the first time Zhang Miao had heard of Dian Wei when Dian Wei held up the flag of Ya Gate!
At this point, Yang Rui knew that it was not easy to win Dian Wei over, so he had to give up for now. Before he left, he did not forget to encourage Dian Wei to leave a good impression on him.
Whether it was giving Dian Wei the sword, begging Zhang Miao for help, or even the last words of encouragement, it was a good start for Yang Rui to get in touch with Dian Wei. It was not easy to win over a famous historical figure, even though Yang Rui was already the deputy leader of the vassals. It was not easy to win over an NPC! However, from now on, Dian Wei would be remembered by Yang Rui even if he did not want to …
After Yang Rui and the various warlords finished their inspection, they returned to their respective armies to command the various troops, and majestically marched in the direction of Xingyang.
Then, Yang Rui calculated the time accurately. Half a day after the army set off, Yang Rui left the main army. After he escorted his navy soldiers and ships through the customs, Yang Rui's men were temporarily commanded by Gao Shun, Zhang Ning, Zhang Liao, and Chen Lin. The direction of the march was fixed, and the speed of the march was not very fast. They only needed to settle down the soldiers at night and rest on the way. As for the players, Yang Rui asked them to leave them alone, so there was no need to worry about any accidents.
Yang Rui had experience in transporting troops before. So, his estimation of time was very accurate. Just before the fleet arrived at Hulao Pass, Yang Rui managed to catch up. However, at this moment, the situation around Hulao Pass was different.
It was not long after midnight. Yang Rui used the Wind Carpet to go to the front line of the Yellow River to check out the situation at Hulao Pass. However, when he was about 30 to 40 kilometers away from Hulao Pass, Yang Rui suddenly realized that a large fleet had appeared on the surface of the water. There were hundreds of ships of various sizes. Yang Rui was immediately shocked.
Each ship only had one torch for illumination, so Yang Rui easily discovered them. When he got closer, Yang Rui found that almost all the ships were filled with soldiers. They were all from Dong Zhuo's camp!
Moreover, almost all of these ships were transport ships, and the soldiers on them were all infantrymen. At this time, they were quietly moving downstream from upstream. It was estimated that in less than a quarter of an hour, they would encounter Yang Rui's fleet head-on!
Yang Rui seemed to have thought of a possibility when so many transport ships appeared on the water surface of the Yellow River in the middle of the night. Perhaps Dong Zhuo's camp was using the river to send their troops! When he thought about how Sun Jian was setting up camp not far from Hulao Pass, Yang Rui could already guess why Dong Zhuo's camp was sending so many troops.
With this thought in mind, Yang Rui immediately drove the Wind Flying Carpet back to his fleet. He arranged for all the small transport ships and fast ships to dock at the right bank of the Yellow River. The soldiers who had boarded the ships first went ashore. Yang Rui, on the other hand, led the 100 dagger-axe ships towards Dong Zhuo's fleet!
The reason Yang Rui decided to stop the other party was simple. Although Dong Zhuo's camp had many ships, they were all transport ships. Almost all of them were infantry. Hence, these ships had no combat power on the water surface. They were just living targets!
"Hualala, hualala …"
Crack! Puff! Puff …
"Ah! Help! "
"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly …"
“.....”
Reality proved that Yang Rui's judgment was correct. Dong Zhuo's ships filled with infantry were like clumsy lambs on the wide river when they ran into Yang Rui's ships. They struggled, but it was as if they were waiting to be slaughtered.
On the other hand, Yang Rui's ships were like a sharp blade. They were much faster than Dong Zhuo's ships. The Fourth Grade water soldiers on the ships were also very powerful. They were almost as powerful as Fifth Grade soldiers on the surface of the water. Every time they passed by the enemy's ships, they would be able to cut off a layer of the soldiers on the outside. Sometimes, they would even cut off the oars of Dong Zhuo's ships, forcing the ships to spin in circles or drift down the river!
"Get to the shore! Get to the shore! "
Finally, someone from Dong Zhuo's fleet put forward some constructive suggestions. Unfortunately, in this chaotic situation, not many ships heard this suggestion and adopted it. Most of the ships were like headless flies running around, unable to escape the attack range of the dagger-axe ships. The dagger-axe ships shuttled back and forth to kill them.
This situation lasted for more than two hours. Under the attack of Yang Rui's 100 dagger-axe boats, more than half of Dong Zhuo's hundreds of troop carriers had been damaged. The remaining troop carriers had also been scattered by the dagger-axe boats. Many infantrymen of Dong Zhuo's camp had even fallen off the ships in panic and drowned in the end!
At the same time, Yang Rui had obtained a total of 192000 merit and credit points over the past two hours. In addition to the merit and credit points he had obtained during the previous transport, Yang Rui's name had appeared on both the merit and credit rankings. His ranking was only slightly behind the large player organizations such as Dragon Soul, ranking in the twenties.
It was evident from this that the NPC soldiers of Dong Zhuo's faction were of a much higher grade than they had been during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Their average grade was around Fourth Grade. Yang Rui's forces had only managed to kill five to six thousand enemy soldiers and a small number of transport ships. In the end, they had obtained close to two hundred thousand merit and credit points. It was evident that they were a force to be reckoned with.
After the assault on Dong Zhuo's transport ships ended, Yang Rui reorganized the ships, speedboats, and small transport ships and quickly passed through Hulao Pass. However, when Yang Rui approached Hulao Pass, he discovered that not far from Hulao Pass, there was already a fiery light that shook the sky. A massacre had broken out!
There was no time to pay attention to the battle at the pass. Yang Rui immediately guided the fleet away from Hulao Pass. It was only when the fleet was far away from Hulao Pass that Yang Rui had the time to return to Hulao Pass to investigate.
