Yang Rui and Zhang Ning's safety wasn't a problem. Only the durability of the Flying Carpet decreased slightly due to the arrows. However, for an Earth grade item like the Flying Carpet, it wasn't much of a problem.
From this, one could see the increase in the attack power of the ranged soldiers. In the past, when Yang Rui and Zhang Ning used the Flying Carpet to attack, they didn't notice any decrease in the durability of the Flying Carpet. Now, there were some changes.
"Sou! Sou! Sou!
… "
"Boom! Boom! Boom!
… "
"…"
"…"
Although the strength of the current soldiers had increased, the Heavenly Spirit Flaming Rain was an ultimate skill of the Heavenly Spirit Set. It was still very powerful and not something normal soldiers could defend against.
"Ah!
… "
"Help!"
"…"
"…"
As the Flying Carpet passed by quickly, a large number of Yuan Shao's soldiers outside the west wall of Gaotang City were instantly set ablaze. A wide belt of fire separated them from the rest of the soldiers.
The Yuan Shao's soldiers who had luckily escaped death were already scared out of their wits. How could they participate in the siege under the fire barrier?
The perilous situation at the west wall of Gaotang County had suddenly changed. The hundreds and thousands of Yuan Shao's soldiers who had climbed up the wall were now isolated. There were no more soldiers behind them who could come up to support them.
When the soldiers in Gaotang County realized that the reinforcements had arrived, their morale was greatly boosted. The west wall that was about to fall slowly came under their control and they gradually stabilized their position.
However, when Yang Rui and Zhang Ning brought the Heavenly Spirit Flaming Rain to the north wall of Gaotang County, this side of the wall was already filled with Yuan Shao's soldiers. The west side of the wall was mostly under the control of Yuan Shao's soldiers.
Only the east side of the wall might have noticed what was happening on the east side of the city. There weren't many Yuan Shao's soldiers on the wall. The besieging soldiers below the city walls had already begun to flee in all directions.
At this moment, Yang Rui's soldiers from the east side of the city had already charged over. Some of them chased after Yuan Shao's soldiers along the north side of the city wall, while others entered Gaotang City. While supporting the city's defenders, they also attempted to pass through the city to reach the west gate.
Other than the north side of Gaotang City, Zhang Ning's Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain had covered a large area. At the same time, Yang Rui and Zhang Ning might continue to attack. Sun Qian and Han Dai both thought of this. Only then did he make a decision accordingly.
High up in the sky, Yang Rui had already noticed that his own soldiers were charging over from the north side of Gaotang City. He quickly changed his direction and dodged the path he came from. Once again, the Sky Spirit Fire Rain covered the heads of Yuan Shao's fleeing soldiers.
"Ah …"
… "
"Help!"
"…"
"…"
Within the area covered by the Sky Spirit Fire Rain, Yuan Shao's soldiers screamed and struggled. It was a scene of hell on earth.
After experiencing the power of the Sky Spirit Fire Rain, Yuan Shao's long-range soldiers no longer tried to stop the Wind Flying Carpet. He only cared about running for his life.
It could be said that from the moment Yang Rui's soldiers appeared, the fate of Yuan Shao's soldiers was already decided. However, the appearance of the Sky Spirit Fire Rain sped up the process. By the time Yang Rui turned back on the Wind Flying Carpet. Yuan Shao's soldiers near Gaotang City had already completely collapsed.
At this moment, the general in Yuan Shao's army had also issued the order to retreat. However, the entire battlefield was in a mess. Whether it was the sound of the gong from the rear or the orders from the soldiers, they were all out of order.
In reality, there was no need for the Yuan army to give the order to retreat. After the Sky Spirit Fire Rain started to wreak havoc everywhere, the soldiers who noticed the abnormality had already started to flee. Most of them chose the west direction towards the Yellow River or the north and south directions to escape from the Fire Domain before turning west towards the Yellow River.
Due to the fire, Yang Rui's pursuit was greatly affected. Only the soldiers who had charged over from the north side of Gaotang City were able to keep up with the fleeing Yuan Shao's soldiers. They chased the Yuan Shao's soldiers all the way to the Yellow River.
Within Gaotang City, due to the appearance of a large number of Yang Rui's soldiers, the small number of Yuan Shao's soldiers on the city walls was quickly cleared out. Other than a small number of injured soldiers, Gaotang City didn't suffer much damage in the end.
At this point, the siege of Gaotang City had been cleanly resolved. When the surrounding fire gradually dissipated, Sun Qian, Han Dai, and Huang Wudie each led a group of soldiers and charged out of Gaotang City to chase after the fleeing Yuan Shao's soldiers.
The portion of Yang Rui's soldiers that had been tailing Yuan Shao's soldiers were led by Ding Yao. Yang Rui and Zhang Ning didn't return to Gaotang City. Instead, they continued to chase after the fleeing Yuan Shao's soldiers and continued to rain down the Sky Spirit Fire Rain on the densely populated areas.
Under the influence of the Sky Spirit Fire Rain, the fleeing Yuan Shao's soldiers were forced to scatter in different directions.
…
Yuan Shao's soldiers were defeated. Among the tens of thousands of soldiers who attacked the city, more than half of them were burned to death by the Sky Spirit Fire Rain!
At the same time, Tian Feng, who was in charge of Liaocheng County, looked at the secret letter in his hand and frowned deeply. The item in his hand was the secret letter that Guo Jia had handed over without being touched.
Tian Feng seemed to have seen some clues and had his own thoughts about the truth of the letter. However, the other two people present had different opinions about Tian Feng's judgment.
"Military Advisor, this matter is very important. Why don't I lead 20,000 cavalry to investigate? If it is as Military Advisor said, our cavalry can come and go as they please. There shouldn't be any inconvenience …"
"…"
A tall and valiant general on Tian Feng's right spoke up. This person was General Wen Chou, who was as famous as Yan Liang!
"That should be the case. If Yangping City is indeed in trouble, it is the right time to rush over to help. If Yangping City is fine, it is also good to strengthen communication! Jiang Yiqu is willing to go in place of General Wen Chou. It is enough to lead 10,000 cavalry. "
Another general on Tian Feng's left also said. This person was another general under Yuan Shao, Jiang Yiqu.
"Generals, if nothing unexpected happens, Gaotang City in the north will fall into the hands of Shen Pei and Ma Yan today. The Liaocheng City City that the three of us live in is the center of the three cities and should be firmly in our hands.
Thus, it is not easy for us to move. It is best if the two generals do not go to help Yangping City.
As for this secret letter, if what is said in the letter is true, then there is no point in going to Yangping County. If what is said in the letter is false, then Yangping County has already been occupied by Feng Ji, Feng Yi, and Zhang He! "
