"Eastern Qu Commander Bu Ji, hear my orders. Station your troops in Log City and wait for orders at any time!"
"Yes, Sir!"
"Yes, Sir!"
"…"
After the eight armies were assigned, Yang Rui ordered Bu Ji to guard Log City as a backup. All the generals and commanders agreed one by one, and a majestic aura burst out in the conference hall of Log City.
"Move out!"
Following Yang Rui's final order, the eight armies, under the command of their respective commanders, spread out in all directions from Log City, advancing towards the various parts of Shrimp Island in a carpet-like fashion.
At this time, the total number of Yang Rui's soldiers on Shrimp Island was close to 1.3 million. The eight commanders each commanded 100,000 troops (Zhang Mancheng commanded 200,000 yellow turban soldiers), plus 100,000 troops left in Log City. There were still 200,000 troops placed in Sky City by Yang Rui, ready to deal with any accidents that might happen on Shrimp Island at any time.
After Yang Rui left the Tower of Civilization, he had already taken Sky City back when he met up with the generals. It came in handy now.
In fact, with the convenience of Sky City, it should be more efficient to directly send the eight armies down separately, but there would inevitably be blind spots in the process of connecting the nets. After thinking about it, Yang Rui decided to solve the problem on Shrimp Island once and for all.
When he first arrived at the island, Yang Rui had already used Sky City to investigate clearly. Log City was located almost in the central area surrounded by ring-shaped mountains. Most of the surrounding areas were dense forests of varying thickness, extending all the way to the plains near the sea.
The densest distribution of the Shrimp Tribe was in the ring-shaped plains around the island, but it could not be ruled out that a small number of Shrimp Tribe were distributed in some gaps in the forest, or they simply lived like savages in the forest.
This was also one of the reasons why Yang Rui divided his troops into eight armies and moved them in a carpet-like manner.
In fact, the lumberjacks in Log City had encountered a small group of native tribes before. That meant that there were natives not far from Log City. Of course, Zhang Mancheng and Bo Ji had already killed many of those natives. That was enough to ensure the safety of the lumberjacks in Log City.
However, this wasn't enough to complete the quest. The quest itself required one tribe to unify the barbarian tribes, or the foreign forces to defeat all the barbarian tribes.
Obviously, this quest was prepared for the players in the Japanese civilization. It could be imagined that when they were able to cross the strait, it was almost inevitable that they would trigger the Tribal Struggle Quest in the area. However, Yang Rui was a few steps ahead of them and obtained it.
To be precise, the indigenous people of Shrimp Barren Land were not of mainstream Japanese descent. Not to mention that they were not civilized enough in the context of the Warring States, even in reality, they were discriminated against.
Therefore, Yang Rui didn't feel much about their attitude. At first, he ordered the eight armies to kill all the enemy soldiers only because of Yang Rui's attitude toward the island in front of him.
However, to be able to snatch the Tribal Struggle Quest from the Japanese players, the initiative of the island was snatched away from the Japanese players. No matter what, it was a pleasant thing. If the players in the three kingdoms region learned about this, they would definitely be in an uproar again.
Yang Rui clearly remembered the scene when he participated in the second large-scale system storyline in the Japanese civilization region. At that time, because of an accident, he snatched the top spot of the Double Leaderboard in the Japanese civilization region in the final stage. The players in the three kingdoms region celebrated!
Thinking of this, Yang Rui smiled and operated Sky City to quickly catch up with Dian Wei's army, heading southwest of Log City.
Among all the commanders that Yang Rui brought with him this time, Cheng Yu and Guo Jia, two famous historical figures, needless to say, were good at leading troops. Even Gao Shun, Yu Jin, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong were outstanding commanders in various historical records.
In historical records and novels. Gao Shun had followed Lu Bu in countless battles and was invincible. During Cao Xing's rebellion, Gao Shun was the only general that Lu Bu could rely on. Yu Jin was one of the Five Tiger Generals of Cao's camp, and he performed outstandingly during Zhang Xiu's rebellion and the Battle of Guandu.
Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong's achievements were even more numerous. Perhaps only Dian Wei's ability to lead troops alone was not as good. He chose the southwest direction where the tribes on Shrimp Barren Island were the densest. That was why Yang Rui followed behind him.
On the other hand, Zhang Mancheng's ability to lead troops might not be as good as the other generals, but he had more than 200,000 Yellow Turbans under his command, which was the largest number of soldiers among the eight armies, even if it was the largest tribe on the island. Even if the entire population was added together, it might not even reach this number. Therefore, Yang Rui was not too worried.
After half a day, Yang Rui felt that his worries about Dian Wei's army might be unnecessary, because Dian Wei seemed to be very good at fighting in the forest. The hundred thousand soldiers under his command were distributed in an orderly manner. Of the five tribes that they encountered in total, all of them were surrounded by Dian Wei's subordinates and annihilated!
The first tribe that Dian Wei's 100,000 soldiers encountered was a small Shrimp Barren Tribe that only had several thousand people. The NPCs in the tribe almost perfectly reflected the common features of all the tribes on the island.
The best weapons in the tribe were short bows that were suitable for projectile shooting. In terms of performance, they weren't much better than the hunting bows that almost every soldier in Yang Rui's army had. However, the soldiers of the tribe were good at using poison. Almost every arrow that they shot out was coated in poison, causing more damage than the arrows themselves.
Even the melee weapons of the tribe were all poisoned, which put Dian Wei's troops at a slight disadvantage since it was their first time encountering such a situation.
Apart from that, there was nothing particularly praiseworthy about the tribe's defenders. Most of them were still Third or Fourth Grade, and their equipment was mostly outdated.
Therefore, when faced with Dian Wei's army that was one or two grades higher and better equipped, the thousands of soldiers of the first tribe only put up a symbolic resistance before they all surrendered. After all, Dian Wei's troops had appeared too suddenly, and there was a huge gap in strength and numbers.
However, Dian Wei soon fell into hesitation, because Yang Rui's initial orders had mentioned that all the soldiers of the tribes were to be killed, and the civilians were to be captured and brought back to the map of Mount Tai.
