"I've chosen not to show my nickname!"
Although Yang Rui did not expect to be able to kill Niu Fu at the last moment, he quickly made his choice after receiving the system notification and hid his nickname in the system announcement.
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Blazing Sun for being the first player to kill a historical general/celebrity. You are rewarded with 2,000 Reputation Points!"
"System Announcement: As player * has successfully killed a historical general/famous historical figure for the first time, the game has unlocked the unique skills of historical generals/famous historical figures. The unique skills of all related characters have changed from the previous passive state to an active state!
The other hidden attributes of the historical general/celebrity will also be unlocked at an appropriate time … "
After Yang Rui made his choice, two more system notifications and system announcements popped up one after another. Following the unlocking of the special unit attributes of the historical generals/famous historical figures, the unique ultimate skills of the historical generals/famous historical figures were also unlocked!
Yang Rui was not in the mood to pay attention to these for the time being. Although he had killed Niu Fu by chance, it had only turned the tide of the battle slightly. There was still another general in Dong Zhuo's camp on the city gate. Gao Shun, Zhang Ning, Wu Anguo, Chen Lin, and the others had not returned for the time being. The situation was still very tense.
Fortunately, Niu Fu had been killed. The remaining general was obviously no match for Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao had already suppressed him and could kill or subdue him at any time. Under such circumstances, Yang Rui no longer participated in the battle. After quickly picking up the pile of items Niu Fu had dropped, Yang Rui didn't even look at them before he turned around and led the Iron Guards to face the defenders of Dong Zhuo's camp on the city walls with Wu Qiong.
"Ah!"
After a few breaths of time, the general who was fighting Zhang Liao cried out in agony as Zhang Liao slashed him down the city wall. After he fell to the ground, the soldiers of Dong Zhuo's camp risked their lives to rescue him!
Yang Rui and the others were originally in control of the city wall. Zhou Qiong's figure was guarding the defense under the city gate. However, after a large number of soldiers from Dong Zhuo's camp arrived, the battle under the city wall had reached a stalemate. That was why the general had a chance to be rescued by Dong Zhuo's soldiers after he fell off the city wall.
As Zhang Liao's opponent fell down the wall, the city gate tower and other parts of the city wall stabilized again. Yang Rui, Wu Qiong, and Zhang Liao charged forward and cleared out the soldiers on the city wall nearby. They decided to go back with Zhang Liao to help Gao Shun, Zhang Ning, Wu Anguo, and the others. Wu Qiong and Zhou Qiong would temporarily deal with the situation at the city gate tower.
"Kill!"
They had just defeated two famous historical generals. After killing one enemy and injuring another, Zhang Liao's morale soared as he charged out in front of the Iron Guards. Although there were many soldiers in Dong Zhuo's camp gathered below the city gate, they were hardly a match for Yang Rui's troops. This was especially true when they didn't have the support of the famous historical generals. The difference in strength between them and Yang Rui's troops was huge. As a result, Zhang Liao quickly carved out a bloody path for himself.
In less than the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Yang Rui and Zhang Liao had already led everyone to the place where Wu An Guo had fought with the enemy general. However, other than the mess on the ground, there was no one else there. While Yang Rui was worried, he couldn't help but increase the strength of his charge. He swung his arms and charged forward with all his might.
Not long after, Yang Rui was already halfway to the east gate of the inner city's North Palace. At this time, a rain of fire appeared in front of them, whistling as it rained down. After seeing this scene, Yang Rui immediately knew that Zhang Ning's Heavenly Fire Rain was showing its power. However, he also guessed that Zhang Ning and the others must be facing a large number of enemies. Otherwise, the Heavenly Fire Rain wouldn't be so effective.
After Yang Rui and Zhang Liao led their troops to the front, they realized that Gao Shun, Zhang Ning, and the others were facing a large number of Dong Zhuo's soldiers. At this time, they were surrounded by three layers of enemies. Only the area where Zhang Ning continued to cast her Heavenly Fire Rain did not dare to approach.
This area of fire rain was located behind the group. It was close to the North Palace of the inner city. Clearly, Zhang Ning had cast it to stop the enemy from chasing after them.
"Kill!"
After seeing this situation, Yang Rui immediately brandished his spear and charged into Dong Zhuo's camp. At the same time, with the help of a powerful general like Zhang Liao, Yang Rui's new force cut through like a sharp knife cutting through tofu.
In fact, it wasn't that Gao Shun, Zhang Ning, and the others were weak. In fact, Yang Rui didn't know that Wu Anguo had returned to Gao Shun's side. However, both Gao Shun and Wu Anguo were entangled with enemy generals at this time. Moreover, they had to face Dong Zhuo's soldiers who were several times their number. In addition, they also had to protect the safety of Young Emperor Liu Bian, Empress He, and the female officials. That was why they were somewhat powerless to break through. They even fell into a passive position.
After Yang Rui and Zhang Liao arrived with the new forces, the situation on the battlefield immediately changed. After breaking into the central area, Yang Rui and his troops slaughtered the soldiers of Dong Zhuo's camp who tried to stop them. Zhang Liao joined Gao Shun, Wu Anguo, and the three enemy generals, equalizing the number of people on both sides who were originally two against three!
At this time, looking at the battle strength of the famous historical generals, it was obvious who was superior. After Zhang Liao joined the battle, not only did they equalize the number of people, but they were also much stronger than their opponents. The three enemy generals immediately felt a little pressured. Finally, after three or four rounds, the general fighting Gao Shun was attacked by Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao's attack came very suddenly. It was exactly the same as the attack he used to attack Niu Fu. It also landed on the back of the enemy general. After Yang Rui fought with his life to free Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao could be said to have fought with all his might.
After the enemy general was hit by Zhang Liao's attack, he suddenly staggered and fell to the ground after retreating a few steps. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive. When the remaining two generals of Dong Zhuo's camp saw this, they hurriedly retreated. They picked up the fallen general and disappeared into the crowd of soldiers. If the soldiers of Dong Zhuo's camp did not block them, none of the three generals would have escaped the fate of the Drinking Knife.
With the three generals gone, Dong Zhuo's camp was like a group of dragons without a leader. It was a mess. Yang Rui led several generals, gathered the First Warriors, Steel Guards, and Young Emperor Liu Bian, Empress Dowager He, and a group of female officials in the center to protect them. Almost no one could stop them as they advanced toward the Upper East Gate.
Although some players still wanted to organize soldiers to block Yang Rui's path, most of the stronger players had gone to the front line of Hulao Pass. The strength of the players left in Luoyang's Royal City was very limited. There weren't many players from large organizations either. Naturally, they couldn't organize effectively.
The support skills of the historical generals and famous figures under Yang Rui were already very powerful. Now that they were stacked together, all the soldiers of Dong Zhuo's camp were in a state of complete suppression. Although the enemy had more people, they could no longer stop Yang Rui's advance. In less than fifteen minutes, Yang Rui led his army and broke through the Upper East Gate.
At this time, the Upper East Gate's gatehouse was on the verge of falling. Although Wu Qiong and Zhou Qiong resisted with all their might, they could only keep the gatehouse from falling in the face of an enemy several times their size. All the sections of the city wall, including the front and back of the gatehouse, were occupied by Dong Zhuo's soldiers. When they saw Yang Rui leading his army into the tunnel below the gatehouse, the two were overjoyed.
"General Blazing Sun, leave quickly. The two of us will hold them off for a while and cover your retreat for General Blazing Sun. General, you must bring our two lords out of the tiger's den and hand them over to Alliance Master Yuan Benchu. Then, take revenge for the two of us!"
After hearing Wu Qiong's words, Yang Rui led his army and rushed out of the Upper East Gate. Although Dong Zhuo's camp had more soldiers in the tunnel, they were no match for Yang Rui. Very quickly, Yang Rui opened the gate and swarmed out of the Upper East Gate.
At this time, Yang Rui was no longer afraid of exposing himself. After exiting the city, Yang Rui led his army north, making a beeline for the banks of the Yellow River at Mt. Beimang. When they passed by Luoyang's northern and valley gates, although they were intercepted by many of Dong Zhuo's soldiers, Yang Rui and the others didn't delay their journey by much.
Due to the burden of the Emperor, Empress Dowager, and the female officials, Yang Rui and the others didn't travel particularly quickly. However, after exiting Luoyang's vicinity, the number of pursuers behind them gradually decreased. This was especially true when they entered the vicinity of Mt. Beimang. The NPCs under Dong Zhuo's command had all retreated. Only a few players from small organizations were tailing them.
By the time Yang Rui turned around to block the pursuers a few times, the players from Dong Zhuo's camp had already suffered heavy losses. Knowing that they wouldn't be able to gain any advantage, most of the pursuers gradually dispersed. Moreover, the remaining players no longer dared to get too close to Yang Rui's army. They had long since given up hope of stopping Yang Rui. Most of them were unwilling to leave out of curiosity.
Nothing unexpected happened along the way. Yang Rui led his army all the way to the banks of the Yellow River. The first thing he did was to teleport Liu Bian, Empress Dowager He, and the female officials onto the ship. After the last shipment, Yang Rui had arranged for the fleet to be docked at this location.
After fighting their way out of Luoyang's Imperial City, Young Emperor Liu Bian, Empress Dowager He, and the twenty or so female officials were all in a daze. They had been tormented and frightened to death, but after boarding the ship, their complexions were much better.
To ensure the safety of the Emperor, Empress Dowager He, and the others, Yang Rui had placed Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Chen Lin on the fleet. The fleet then moved along with Yang Rui's camp on the banks of the Yellow River, east of Hulao Pass. Only Wu Anguo remained by Yang Rui's side.
Of course, before this, Yang Rui had used the fleet to move his remaining forces north of the Yellow River, effectively eliminating the harassment of Dong Zhuo's pursuers. Although Dong Zhuo's camp still controlled the area north of the Yellow River, most of the nearby ships had already been cleaned up. Hence, the pursuers would have a hard time crossing the Yellow River in a short time. Meanwhile, Dong Zhuo's camp's forces in Hebei were mostly local soldiers.
