What Yang Rui didn't know was that Trace Dragon Soul and the others were also targeting the nearby Henan County. They were planning to use him to pin down Dong Zhuo's forces and reduce the difficulty of sieging Henan County. At this point, Yang Rui's army was showing signs of converging near Luoyang City.
The cities that Trace Dragon Soul and the other players chose to attack were all along the tributaries of the Luoyang River. On one hand, it was to take care of the ships they belonged to. On the other hand, if there was an emergency, they could use the river to move. Henan County was one such city that was close to the Luoyang River.
However, Henan County was only a short distance away from Valley County, and the army would only need a little more than an hour to travel there. With fast horses, they could reach there in less than an hour. Before Yang Rui attacked Valley County, he had already set his sights on Henan County. After occupying Valley County, Yang Rui sent out some soldiers to clean up the situation and ordered the rest of the troops to rest.
Henan County Town was not far from Luoyang Imperial City. If Henan County Town was on guard, perhaps Luoyang City would send reinforcements to reinforce Henan County Town. Thus, Yang Rui urgently ordered the officers and soldiers to rest and recover their strength, preparing to take down Henan County Town in one go.
When Yang Rui led his troops to take down Valley County, it was only one hour past three in the morning. Thus, when the soldiers rested until dawn, Yang Rui gathered all the soldiers and led them towards Henan County. Only Chen Lin and 10000 Fourth Grade soldiers were left in Valley County to guard it, as an escape route. As he already had plans to take over Henan County, Yang Rui had also circled around Henan County when he was scouting Valley County. However, he didn't investigate carefully at that time. Thus, while the army was moving forward, Yang Rui first deployed the bandit leaders at the front to scout for information.
This time, Yang Rui attacked Henan County in a hurry. He wanted to take down the city before Dong Zhuo's troops could react. Therefore, Yang Rui only urged his troops to hurry along the main road, and didn't care too much about exposing their tracks.
At this moment, Dragon Soul and the other player organizations were already on their way to Henan County. Furthermore, he had set off two hours earlier than Yang Rui. However, the distance between Xincheng County and Henan County was much further, requiring approximately eight hours to reach. Therefore, he was destined to be unable to catch up with Yang Rui's pace.
"System Announcement: Anti-Dong Alliance player Blazing Sun has conquered a large city occupied by Dong Zhuo's faction — Henan County. Awarded 40,000 Plot Achievement Points and 40,000 Plot Points. This announcement is hereby made. "
Just as Dragon Soul and the other players were halfway to Henan County, a system announcement was released without warning. It turned out that Yang Rui had already led his troops to take over Henan County! This system announcement was very sudden, and it instantly disrupted the pace of Dragon Soul and the other players. Yang Rui's strength was clear to Dragon Soul and the others. However, the leaders of the player organizations such as Dragon Soul and Starlight did not expect Yang Rui to act so quickly. After all, Yang Rui had just taken down Gucheng County the night before.
"Damn it, Blazing Sun's actions are really fast!"
"Could it be that he knows that we are going to attack Henan County and is doing this on purpose?!"
"Yeah, isn't he just messing around?!"
“.....”
Since Yang Rui had taken over the Henan County, Tracer Dragon Soul and the other players were at a loss of what to do. They had no choice but to continue forward as their target city had already been taken over by Yang Rui. If they were to turn back, their previous efforts would have been in vain.
The most important thing was. Dragon Soul and the other player leaders had already evacuated all the players from the new city. It was equivalent to giving up the city. If they turned back, Dong Zhuo's faction might have already taken over the new city.
In fact, these player organizations had spent a lot of effort to take down the new city. Moreover, they had taken advantage of the night to attack the city. Now that the other party was prepared, it was uncertain if they could take back the city.
"Leader Tracer, what do you think we should do?"
Starlight Vast Sky asked tentatively. At this moment, Roly Poly, Tuan Tuan, Rose, and the other player organizations' leaders were also present. Most of them were staring at Dragon Soul. From this, it could be seen that Tracer Dragon Soul had a superior position among these player leaders.
"The situation is too sudden, but I think it's better to continue to Henan County. Our goal for this trip, Henan County, has already fallen into Lie Yang's hands. However, our ultimate goal for rushing over here is to form an alliance with Lie Yang. That's why I think it's better for us to continue moving forward! Does anyone have any other opinions? "
Tracer Dragon Soul frowned and pondered for a while before speaking. When he asked for the others' opinions, none of the player leaders present had a better solution. In the end, everyone followed Tracer Dragon Soul's instructions and continued to move toward Henan County.
In fact, Yang Rui encountered a small incident during the process of taking over Henan County. When the players in Dong Zhuo's faction saw that Yang Rui had taken over a few cities, they were naturally dissatisfied. When Yang Rui led his men to Henan County, a group of players was using Henan County as a gathering point. They were preparing to launch a counterattack against Yang Rui.
These players in Dong Zhuo's faction had also decided on Henan County as a gathering point after seeing the system announcement that Yang Rui had taken over Valley City. By the time Yang Rui started attacking the city, over 10000 players from Dong Zhuo's faction had already gathered in the city. It was all a coincidence.
Yang Rui didn't know that there were players gathered in the city. He had also been obstructed by these players when he started attacking the city. The average grade of these Dong Zhuo's faction players wasn't even Fourth Grade, but they caused more trouble than NPC soldiers of the same grade.
However, it was only slightly more troublesome. After all, the difference in strength between Yang Rui's army and Dong Zhuo's army was obvious. Moreover, Henan City only had a little over 20000 NPC soldiers to begin with. Hence, the additional 10000 players from Dong Zhuo's camp didn't change the outcome of the siege.
It was worth mentioning that, while these players were obstructing Yang Rui's attack, they were also helping Yang Rui's final loot! When Yang Rui started attacking the city, the players gathered in Henan County were completely unprepared. Almost all of their belongings were on them. After Yang Rui exterminated them, the bountiful loot they dropped was beyond Yang Rui's expectations.
First of all, Yang Rui had only found thirty thousand gold coins in Henan County's treasury. However, he had obtained over a hundred thousand gold coins from clearing the battlefield. It was impossible for NPC soldiers to drop so many gold coins. It was obvious that most of the gold coins had come from the pockets of Dong Zhuo's faction players.
Secondly, apart from obtaining various Skill Books, equipment, and other items, Yang Rui had also obtained over ten different blueprints and three Quest Scrolls. Obviously, these items had also been dropped by players.
Most of these blueprints and Quest Scrolls did not catch Yang Rui's eye. However, there was also an Equipment Blueprint and an Orange Quest Scroll that Yang Rui paid great attention to.
"Soft Leather Armor Blueprint: Can be used to craft Soft Leather Armor ranging from Normal to Silver rank. The quality of the Soft Leather Armor will be limited by the material used and the craftsman's level. Required Materials: Various types of Soft Tanned Leather. Crafting Requirement: Advanced Tailor or above. "
"Bandit Annihilation Quest: Comes with Brief Topographic Map!"
The Soft Leather Armor Blueprint's value lay in the fact that it did not have a material level restriction. Various types of Soft Tanned Leather could be used to craft Soft Leather Armor. Although the highest grade of Soft Leather Armor produced would only be Silver rank, it was very versatile. The only restriction on the materials used was the tanning process.
Blueprints with fewer restrictions on the materials used were often the most practical blueprints. Yang Rui had seen many different types of equipment crafting blueprints, but most of them had higher requirements for the materials used. They often required various types of high-grade materials. The production cost was even higher than the market price. It was better to purchase the finished product directly.
Coincidentally, among the 30 or so female officials that Yang Rui had brought out from the palace, one of them had the Tanning Innate Attribute. Most of the female officials had the Tailor Skill. In addition, Yang Rui had obtained many female Tailors from the Yellow Turban Rebellion storyline. This Soft Leather Armor Blueprint could be put into practical use almost immediately in Yang Rui's hands.
The other Orange Quest Scroll was an Orange Rank Scroll. Its level was not low, and it was related to bandit annihilation. It would definitely involve the spawning of the Water Soldier Skill Book. This was undoubtedly of great value to Yang Rui.
It was important to note that most of the Fourth Grade Water Soldier Skill Books that Yang Rui currently had were obtained from Remnant One using Wood. After using this Quest Scroll, Yang Rui had a great chance of expanding his channel of obtaining Water Soldier Skill Books!
One had to admit that players could still drop quite a few good items. Apart from the equipment blueprints and Quest Scrolls, Yang Rui had also obtained quite a few rare items. It was just that most of them could not catch Yang Rui's eye at the moment.
"Aiya, Blazing Sun, I didn't expect you to act so quickly! We were only halfway there when the System Announcement about you taking over the Henan County was released. We didn't know what to do for a while! "
About four hours after Yang Rui had taken over the Henan County, Trace Dragon Soul had led the players from various large organizations to arrive. Moreover, he had half-jokingly told Yang Rui about what had happened on the way here. He did not hide anything from Yang Rui.
