After a long journey with Zhang Ning, Han Dai, and Ding Yao, and then experiencing the Battle of Gaotang County, the soldiers could finally have a good night's sleep in Sky City.
Most of them had never entered the Sky Castle before. Just like the other soldiers who had entered the Sky Castle for the first time, they were full of curiosity about this floating territory. Even though they were physically and mentally exhausted, many of them were unable to fall asleep for a long time.
"Brother Shuan Zhu Zi, Lord Prefecture Overseer's Sky City is really amazing. How can it fly in the sky …"
"Alright, you've asked a few times already. Hurry up and sleep. There might be another battle later."
Of course, there were a small number of soldiers who had entered Sky City before. For example, Shuan Zhu Zi was one of them. Shuan Zhu Zi had seen a lot about Sky City and the various magical items in Yang Rui's hands.
At this time, Shuan Zhu Zi was already a low-ranking general, but his attitude towards his brothers had always been very peaceful. It was precisely because of this that Shuan Zhu Zi was constantly disturbed by these new soldiers, who constantly asked him novel questions.
In the beginning, Shuan Zhu Zi explained one by one to the soldiers around him, but later on, such questions kept coming and Shuan Zhu Zi was a little impatient. Besides, he had only seen some of the magical items and could not explain them clearly.
In the middle of the night, Shuan Zhu was so upset that he only managed to fall asleep for a short while. However, not long after he fell asleep, he was woken up again and was quickly sent out of Sky City by Yang Rui.
"There's a situation. Prepare to stop it."
Shuan Zhu Zi quickly received the order and passed it down to the soldiers behind him. Although they did not rest for long, Shuan Zhu Zi and all the soldiers quickly entered battle mode.
From the messenger, Shuan Zhu Zi vaguely knew the target of this attack. It was Yuan Shao's soldiers who had been defeated in Gaotang County.
In fact, after arriving at the vicinity of the Liaocheng County, Yang Rui had not been idle, and after a short rest. After resting for a while, Yang Rui operated Sky City to Cheng Yu and Guo Jia's troops and explained the situation near Gaotang County to them.
After discussing. Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, and the others almost gave the same suggestion as Yang Rui. That was, if Gaotang Yuan Shao's troops really retreated to Liaocheng County, they would let them into Sky City and finally catch the turtle in a jar.
Yang Rui did exactly that. When Yang Rui returned to the vicinity of Liaocheng County, he let the two batches of defeated Yuan Shao's troops into Sky City. Later on, Yang Rui saw that there were no more defeated troops coming from Sky City. Half of the soldiers in Sky City were released, and they began to attack Yuan Shao's defeated soldiers.
Yang Rui had 400,000 to 500,000 soldiers in Sky City. Yang Rui temporarily arranged half of them in the northeast direction of Liaocheng County, forming a blockade zone. They surrounded Liaocheng County from the inside and blocked Yuan Shao's troops from the outside.
The remaining half of the soldiers would rest and reorganize in Sky City for the time being. In this way, they would be able to swap out with each other and maintain the good combat strength of all the soldiers.
The next morning, when the sky had just started to brighten, Tian Feng, Wen Chou, Jiang Yi, Qu, Ma Yan, and the other Yuan Shao's troops had already received the relevant news. Hundreds of kilometers away from Liaocheng County, there were reports that Yang Rui's troops had been discovered. In just one night, Liaocheng County was completely surrounded.
Tian Feng seemed to have expected this, because those scouts were sent out by Tian Feng early in the morning. Under normal circumstances, these scouts could only scout the surrounding 70-80 kilometers.
Tian Feng would have some predictions. It was discovered by Yuan Shao's defeated troops at night, because other than the two forces that had first retreated into Liaocheng County, the rest of the defeated soldiers seemed to have been completely cut off, and not a single soldier rushed over in the second half of the night.
"Does any of the Yuan Shao thieves in the city dare to leave the city to fight?"
Before Tian Feng and the others in Liaocheng County could make a move, a Yang Rui general outside the southern city gate had already urged his horse to fight one-on-one. This person was Zhao Yun.
Originally, Yang Rui was most worried that Tian Feng would suddenly hang up a waiver to stall for time, so he made up his mind to approach Liaocheng County as soon as possible. He was prepared to launch a siege and drag Liaocheng County into a state of war.
However, under the suggestion of Cheng Yu and Guo Jia. In the end, Yang Rui did not directly send soldiers to attack the city. Instead, he used the strategy of sending people forward to fight one-on-one.
"Yuan Shao thieves in the city. Does anyone dare to leave the city to fight? "
Zhao Yun urged his horse back and forth, almost entering the range of the archers on the city walls of Liaocheng County. However, he did not seem to notice it at all.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
"..."
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Yun entered the range of the archers, Yuan Shao's archers on the city wall immediately rained down a rain of arrows, enveloping Zhao Yun and his horse.
"Just in time!"
However, what kind of person was Zhao Yun? With just a raise of his hand, he brandished his spear in an airtight manner. The light from his ultimate technique shone in all directions. Not only did it envelop him, it also protected the warhorse he was riding on.
When Yang Rui saw this scene from above the city in the sky, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The reason he sent Zhao Yun forward to fight was naturally to trick the city into attacking. As long as there was an arrow shooting down from the city walls, it would be considered an attack by the city guards, and they would no longer be able to use the waiver card.
As for a mere rain of arrows, it was naturally nothing to Zhao Yun. Yang Rui was not worried in the slightest.
"Just in time, is there really no one in the Yuan Shao thieves' army? You actually used a sneak attack. Does anyone dare to leave the city to fight? "
Zhao Yun waved away the rain of arrows and hurriedly dodged out of the range of the archers on the city wall. Zhao Yun appeared to be in a very sorry state. At the same time, Zhao Yun appeared to be very angry and continued to criticize the city.
"Ga ga … ga ga …"
"..."
Under Zhao Yun's continuous "provocation", the east city gate of Liaocheng County slowly opened. Following the creaking sound of the gate opening, a horse rushed out from the gate and charged towards Zhao Yun's direction.
Yang Rui wanted Zhao Yun to go up and challenge him in order to show weakness. He wanted to use Zhao Yun's youthful appearance to make Yuan Shao's troops lower their guard.
