"Summon: Level 1 support skill. Increases the probability of the target receiving the summon by 200%. Works within the range of the skill. Does not work on the enemy …"
Even though Yang Rui wasn't close to Chen Lin, he discovered that the light effect of her skill was constantly expanding. Through the word of mouth of the city's residents, it continued to expand. In the end, Yang Rui's position was also enveloped by the skill. It was also because of this that Yang Rui could see some of the skill's related attributes.
Yang Rui did not expect Chen Lin's attributes to be focused in this direction. However, when he thought about some of Chen Lin's deeds in history, it was understandable. Wasn't the war declaration written by Chen Lin?
As the effect of Chen Lin's skill expanded, the civilians in the city began to spread the news that Dong Zhuo was going to attack Heyang City again. Soon, many civilians responded to Chen Lin's call and moved some wood and rocks up the city walls. At the same time, they dismantled some of the buildings that were close to the city walls and moved the wood and rocks up the city walls.
With these large pieces of wood and rocks as rolling stones, He Yang City's city defense would have some new means of defending the city. It should be able to make up for the lack of archers in Yang Rui's city defense department.
After another two hours, the vanguard of Dong Zhuo's army finally arrived at Heyang City. A large flag with the word "Li" appeared in the middle of the army. There was indeed a general leading the army. However, no one knew who the "Li" was referring to.
Yang Rui saw the arrival of Dong Zhuo's army. He patrolled around the city walls and left Heyang City through the north gate. With the arrival of Dong Zhuo's army, it would be difficult for him to leave Heyang City after the city was surrounded. Yang Rui went out to meet up with the soldiers that were transported to Heyang City so that they could harass Dong Zhuo's army.
"System Announcement: Anti-Dong Alliance players Trace Dragon Soul have conquered Gong County, a medium-sized city that was previously occupied by Dong Zhuo's army. Special reward: 20,000 merit points for storytelling, 20,000 points for storytelling. This announcement is hereby made. "
After Yang Rui left the city, the Three Kingdoms Civilization Zone system announcement came. It turned out that Trace Dragon Soul had also made quite a big move. Dong Zhuo's camp conquered a medium-sized city.
Trace Dragon Soul had been stationed west of Hulao Pass since the very beginning. In the beginning, Trace Dragon Soul had led the members of several large player organizations upstream from the tributary of Luo River. After that, he sent ships to gather troops several times. In addition to the Dragon Soul's previous arrangements in Si Li, Yang Rui was not too surprised that they were able to take down a medium-sized city.
However, this also signified a huge improvement in the strength of the other players. Heyang City was also a medium-sized city. When Yang Rui captured Heyang City, he had used the power of Zhang Ning's Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain and his strategy of letting the enemy off the hook. If he were to attack the city directly, it would be difficult. First of all, Yang Rui did not have the equipment to scale the city.
Even though Yang Rui was becoming less and less interested in large player organizations like Dragon Soul, Yang Rui was still willing to see them take down a medium-sized city. This could also help to relieve some of the pressure on Yang Rui. However, he wondered what Dong Zhuo's expression would be when he heard the news …
Just as Yang Rui thought. Dong Zhuo was caught off guard by the continuous incidents that happened in Luoyang City. Yang Rui had rescued Liu Bian and his mother to the north of the Yellow River. Dong Zhuo was already pissed off, but he didn't expect the Inhumans to cause trouble in the southeast area of Luoyang City. Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard the news. No matter how hard Li Ru tried to stop him, Dong Zhuo still sent a group of soldiers to Gong County.
Of course, the number of troops Dong Zhuo had sent was much smaller than Yang Rui's. No matter how angry Dong Zhuo was, he knew the severity of the situation. Compared to the matter of Young Emperor Liu Bian, losing a county was nothing. As long as he could defend Tiger's Cage, the main forces of the Alliance could not pass through. In Dong Zhuo's opinion, one or two small forces in Guanzhong were nothing to be afraid of.
In the direction of Heyang City, Dong Zhuo's men had also arrived at Heyang City after the vanguard of the "Li" banner arrived. They quickly surrounded Heyang City and set up wooden ladders to test the waters.
Dong Zhuo's men already had a hard time crossing the river, not to mention complicated siege weapons. Therefore, they only had some simple tools at hand. However, that didn't mean that they couldn't bring out any decent siege weapons. Yang Rui had seen Dong Zhuo's large-scale siege weapons in the Yellow Turban Uprising storyline. It was very likely that Dong Zhuo had brought some related craftsmen with him. There was no telling when they would be able to create a part of the siege weapons.
Even though it was a test attack, the scale of the attack was still very large. It was just that Dong Zhuo's men were of a lower level. Most of them were Third Grade and Fourth Grade soldiers. The generals didn't even step forward.
That was why Zhang Ning and the other defenders had an easy time. Without using any rolling stones or wooden ladders, Yang Rui's Iron Guards didn't let a single soldier of Dong Zhuo's faction get on the walls.
One could say that the defense of the walls was a better demonstration of the strengths of the Iron Guards than the siege. It was extremely difficult for the enemy to scale the walls. Even soldiers one or two grades higher would have a hard time breaking through the defenses of the Iron Guards, let alone Third Grade and Fourth Grade soldiers. These Fifth Grade special forces already had the power of an ordinary Sixth Grade soldier. Once they got on the walls, their power would surpass that of a Sixth Grade soldier!
Yang Rui was relieved when he saw this. Even if Dong Zhuo's men could create more complicated siege weapons, it wouldn't be something that could be completed in a short period of time. Yang Rui observed the surroundings of River Sun City for a while longer before chasing after the fleet on his Flying Carpet.
The speed of the ships downstream was relatively fast. By the time Yang Rui caught up with the fleet, they were already close to Hulao Pass. After that, under Yang Rui's lead, the fleet once again smoothly crossed the water around Hulao Pass and arrived at the camp downstream.
After placing the soldiers they were transporting onto the transport ships and having the fleet return upstream, Yang Rui went to look for Ding Yuan.
It wasn't a good idea to let Ding Yuan stay here all the time. Now that most of the Iron Guards had been transported, there were less than five thousand soldiers left. It wasn't enough for two more trips. Yang Rui wanted to persuade Ding Yuan to return to the East County to fight the Black Mountain Army. He also wanted to bring the rest of his soldiers along. Otherwise, it would be a waste to stay here and not be able to fight.
"General Blazing Sun, Yuan Shao has sent people to ask about your whereabouts. It is said that Blazing Sun has rescued the Emperor and Queen Dowager He. Why is he nowhere to be seen?"
Ding Yuan asked when he saw Yang Rui. He had been stationed here for quite some time and had heard about Yang Rui's actions in Luoyang City. However, he still hadn't seen Yang Rui, so he was very anxious.
"Brother Jian Yang, the Emperor and Queen Dowager He are now trapped in Heyang City in the western part of Henei County. I came back this time to mobilize more soldiers."
Yang Rui had already thought of an excuse when he came to see Ding Yuan. Therefore, he answered Ding Yuan's question. In fact, he had expected Yuan Shao to come and ask about his whereabouts. Now, he wanted to spread the news through Ding Yuan's mouth. He wanted to show that he was in a difficult situation so that the heroes wouldn't find an excuse to ask about him. At the same time, he couldn't control Young Emperor Liu Bian!
"I didn't expect the situation to be so urgent. I, Ding Yuan, naturally have to do my part to protect the Emperor. However, Blazing Sun's ships are limited now. How can we get through Hulao Pass? What is General Blazing Sun's plan? "
Ding Yuan was obviously very enthusiastic about Young Emperor Liu Bian. However, his enthusiasm seemed to be the kind that was truly loyal, unlike Yuan Shao and the others who might have other intentions.
"To be honest, Brother Jian Yang, although the Emperor and Queen Dowager He are trapped, Blazing Sun should be able to protect Heyang City for now. Moreover, due to the limitation of ships, a large number of people won't be able to get through Hulao Pass and reach the upper reaches. Therefore, I've already thought of a place for Brother Jian Yang to go. It'll be good for you to earn some merits. When the Emperor recovers, he'll be able to receive Brother Jian Yang's merits …"
As they spoke, Yang Rui began to suggest Ding Yuan to farm the Black Mountain Army in the eastern county. He also analyzed the dangers of the Black Mountain Army. However, Ding Yuan was still a little confused.
"This … General Blazing Sun, don't you think it's a little unreasonable to abandon the Emperor?"
"Brother Jian Yang, you're wrong. Returning to the eastern county to attack the Black Mountain Army is also for the sake of stabilizing the country. It's much more proper than having banquets all day long. Moreover, Brother Jian Yang's base is not far from the eastern county. You can also take care of the land …"
After several persuasions from Yang Rui, Ding Yuan finally agreed to lead the troops to the eastern county to farm the Black Mountain Army. He also brought along the rest of Yang Rui's troops, leaving only about 5,000 Iron Guards behind. After Yang Rui brought another 3,500 Iron Guards with him, the rest of the Iron Guards were temporarily guarded by five Intermediate Generals while waiting for Yang Rui to come to their aid.
When Yang Rui brought a group of Iron Guards back to Meng Jin, night had just fallen. Yang Rui first ordered the soldiers to set up camp by the Yellow River to rest while he rode the Flying Carpet to investigate the situation near Heyang City.
As they gradually got closer, Yang Rui discovered that a portion of Dong Zhuo's subordinates had yet to return to camp to rest at night. They were all searching for trees to cut down. Dong Zhuo's subordinates had even brought a group of able-bodied men with them. At this moment, they were just in time to cut down trees.
Yang Rui followed a man who was transporting wood back. When he finally found out the purpose of the wood, he was shocked. Dong Zhuo's troops were using the newly cut wood to make large-scale siege weapons!
