"Greetings, husband!"
Seeing Yang Rui's sudden appearance, Ding Yao was not as mischievous as Han Dai. She merely rolled her beautiful eyes and quietly went forward to greet Yang Rui.
According to Han Dai's information, Yang Rui first spent an hour to find the 10,000 troops led by Sun Qian and move them to Sky City. In less than two hours, Yang Rui found the 10,000 troops led by Ding Yao.
Zhang Ning's troops were the closest to the southern region of Pingyuan County and should be on Yang Rui's way to Gaotang County. They were also the closest troops to Gaotang County.
"Yao 'er, you've worked hard …"
"…"
In comparison, Yang Rui was even more unfamiliar with Ding Yao. She was one of the last few candidates sent over by the vassals. Moreover, compared to Gan Qian and Mei Zhen, Ding Yao was the calmest one. She gave Yang Rui the impression of an ice beauty.
Therefore, when Yang Rui addressed Ding Yao as "Yao 'er", he felt that it was a little inappropriate. It did not seem to match Ding Yao's temperament.
In fact, this form of address had been set since Zhang Ning. He also addressed Han Dai as "Dai 'er". When it came to Ding Yao, he naturally addressed her as "Yao' er".
If it was a formal form of address between husband and wife, Yang Rui would not be able to say it out loud.
Fortunately, Ding Yao had a calm personality. After Yang Rui supported her, Ding Yao did not react like Han Dai. Following that, Yang Rui, Han Dai, and Sun Qian reorganized their troops and quickly moved to Sky City to continue searching for Zhang Ning's troops.
"Kill! Kill … "
"Kill …"
"Ah! Ha! Ah … "
"Kill …"
"…"
"…"
As Zhang Ning's troops were already approaching Gaotang County, by the time Yang Rui finally found Zhang Ning and the others with Sky City, she was commanding her troops to encircle and annihilate Yuan Shao's troops.
Among them, the one at the front was a fiery red figure. Yang Rui thought that it was Zhang Ning, but when he got closer, he realized that it was not Zhang Ning!
Zhang Ning's identity was a famous historical scholar. Even though her strength had increased by one rank, she was still the most ordinary famous historical scholar. In fact, she wasn't good at charging and breaking through enemy lines.
Looking at the fiery red figure charging at the front, it was like a sharp sword that pierced straight into the enemy's formation. Swathes of Yuan Shao's soldiers along the way were slashed to the ground. The brilliance of the ultimate skill drew streaks of colorful lines around his body. It was obvious that he was using a close combat ultimate skill.
This was a famous historical general! Although it wasn't easy to determine his specific level of strength.
Yang Rui quickly came to a conclusion. However, Sun Qian, Han Dai, Ding Yao, and the others beside him were unable to identify the fiery red figure.
"Kill!"
"Kill …"
"Kill …"
"…"
"…"
With the convenience of Sky City. Yang Rui and the others didn't waste time on the fiery red figure's identity. Instead, they quickly sent out the troops in Sky City to meet up with Zhang Ning's troops and quickly defeated Yuan Shao's troops.
"Greetings, husband!"
"Greetings, Lord Prefecture Overseer!"
After completely annihilating Yuan Shao's troops, Yang Rui finally saw Zhang Ning and the fiery red figure charging at the front. This woman was actually Huang Zhong's daughter, Huang Wudie!
"Ning 'er, Wudie?"
This was the first time Yang Rui had seen Huang Wudie's skills. Before this, he didn't know who would have such skills. Now that he knew it was Huang Wudie, Yang Rui couldn't help but praise her.
"Wudie is truly skilled! You have the style of your father. You can be said to be a hero among women! "
"Thank you, Lord Prefecture Overseer, for your praise. I'm not as good as Lord and Madam Cheng Yue!"
Huang Wudie was still a young lady. Once Yang Rui praised her, she immediately became humble. Not only did she mention Yang Rui, but she also brought Ding Yao into the conversation.
Regarding this, Yang Rui didn't say anything. After smiling slightly, he placed Sun Qian, Zhang Ning, Han Dai, Ding Yao, Huang Wudie, and the troops back into Sky City. Then, he hurried back to Gaotang County.
Gaotang County was already in a very dangerous situation last night. Yang Rui was very anxious about it. If he rushed back and caused the county to fall, it would be too unacceptable.
Thus, Yang Rui didn't dare to waste any time along the way. He also secretly hoped that the sneak attack at night could delay Yuan Shao's troops from attacking Gaotang County.
As for Huang Wudie's strength, Yang Rui actually had a general understanding of it after fighting side by side with her. She wasn't weaker than Yang Rui and Ding Yao as she said. Instead, she was slightly stronger than them. Yang Rui felt that she was at least as strong as a Tier 2 historical general, or even stronger.
However, he wasn't sure if Huang Wudie's strength had been finalized. Did she still have room for improvement like Zhang Liao back then?
After this battle, Yang Rui also had a better understanding of Ding Yao's strength. She was almost as strong as Yang Rui himself. She was at least as strong as a Tier 3 historical general, or even stronger.
After all, Yang Rui practiced the Soaring Dragon Internal Strength Cultivation Method. Compared to people of the same level, her strength was outstanding. Compared to ordinary Tier 2 historical generals, she wasn't much weaker. In a real battle, she had a higher chance of winning.
Regardless, Ding Yao's strength was a pleasant surprise. The same was true for Huang Wudie. Her father, Huang Zhong, had already submitted to Yang Rui. It was almost impossible for Huang Wudie to leave Yang Rui's camp and join other forces.
Yang Rui was also very happy that he had chosen Huang Zhong and received the 'buy one get two free' bonus.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Dong!
"Kill!
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
Zhang Ning's troops weren't far from Gaotang County. With Sky City's rapid advance, Yang Rui quickly arrived near Gaotang County. From afar, he could hear deafening battle cries. Yuan Shao's troops were attacking Gaotang County!
The top of the city wall was covered with wooden ladders. The soldiers of Yuan Shao's army swarmed to climb up the ladders. Outside the city wall, there were many ladders and chariots approaching. Under the thundering war drums, the morale of the soldiers of Yuan Shao's army was like a rising tide.
The entire Gaotang County was in imminent danger!
How could Yang Rui let Yuan Shao's troops have their way? After seeing the situation, he quickly released Sun Qian, Zhang Ning, Han Dai, Ding Yao, Huang Wudie, and the rest of his troops from Sky City. He didn't make any more preparations and directly spread out from the northeast of Gaotang County.
"Kill!
