Cao Cao's cavalry fled south, and Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Huang Wudie chased after them relentlessly. The 700,000 to 800,000 players also followed behind them. The chase lasted for more than half a day. ● Hiss.
As for all the soldiers in Sky City, Yang Rui kept them by his side and used Sky City to teleport them away.
It was not until the afternoon of the same day that Yang Rui asked Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Huang Wudie to stop the chase when they were still a hundred kilometers away from the enemy.
Further south, Cao Cao's and Lu Bu's armies had already set up camp with the help of the favorable terrain. They had also prepared many ambushes in several hidden areas near the camp, waiting for Yang Rui's troops to run into them. Yang Rui naturally wouldn't let them succeed.
While stopping the chase, Yang Rui also ordered Guo Jia to choose a suitable area. With the cooperation of Zhang Ning, Han Dai, Ding Yao, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Huang Wudie, and many other soldiers in Sky City, they began to set up the Qianji Black First Battalion.
Due to the restrictions of Sky City's attributes, the soldiers in Sky City would be restricted when a real battle broke out. While helping to set up the camp, it was also a good time to move the soldiers out of Sky City.
It took more than four hours to set up the Qianji Black First Battalion, and this was when Guo Jia was more familiar with the camp. As for the two sets of Four Symbols Bewildering Formation Flags, they were naturally set up as well.
During this time, more than half of the 800,000 players including Dragon Soul had arrived, and the rest were not far away from Yang Rui's new camp.
At this stage of the game's development, a large number of players were already equipped with horses. Some players had even captured pets that were more convenient for movement after the pet system was released. Therefore, a large number of players' movement speed was actually not slower than the cavalry.
The new camp that Guo Jia had chosen was relatively spacious and empty. It was also to prepare for the upcoming battle. Yang Rui handed the task of setting up the camp to Guo Jia and the other subordinates, while he once again operated Sky City to scout the area above Cao Cao and Lu Bu's camp.
Even if Yang Rui was prepared to face the Cao and Lu armies head-on, he would not fight a battle unprepared. As the saying goes, know thyself and know thy enemy, and you will never be defeated. Some necessary means must be prepared.
After investigating, they found out that Cao Cao's cavalry had returned as bait. Cao Cao and Lu Bu's armies had indeed prepared to meet the attack. The relevant concealment arrangements were also completely silent. They were like giant pythons with their mouths wide open, ready to swallow their opponents in one gulp.
However, Yang Rui had Sky City to investigate, and he had already sent out the news. Cao and Lu's arrangements were destined to be in vain from the very beginning.
Yang Rui circled above the Cao and Lu armies for a long time. After carefully inspecting the situation of the two camps, he found that there were no more movements from Cao Cao and Lu Bu's camps. Only then did he operate Sky City to leave.
Overall, although Cao Cao and Lu Bu's camps were not as mysterious as Guo Jia's Qianji Black Armored Battalion, and they did not have the Four Symbols Maze as a support formation, they were well-organized and very suitable for defense. It could be said to be a classic.
Although Yang Rui did not know much about setting up camp, he could see that the terrain of the two camps were well organized. He could also infer that the people in charge of setting up the camp were not ordinary.
Yang Rui spent some more time to investigate the Cao and Lu camps before returning to the North.
On the way, Yang Rui unexpectedly caught a scout of Cao Cao's. From the secret letter found on the scout, Yang Rui learned that Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's troops had already arrived at Peng City and that the siege was not going well.
Yuan Shu and Sun Jian were his reinforcements. Yang Rui did not expect the two of them to be so proactive. They actually rushed to Peng City and launched a siege against Liu Bei.
From this, it could be seen that Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's intentions were not to help him. Instead, they wanted to use this name to seize control of Xu Province.
Yang Rui was not too surprised about this goal. Although the [Battle of Xu Province] did not involve as many people as the previous two large-scale Storyline Quests, the number of troops involved and the level of strength. Actually, there were still some improvements.
Moreover, the number of Marquises involved was not small, including those that Yang Rui did not know about. In truth, the influence of Xu Province City was not small.
Under such circumstances, the storyline did not restrict the Marquises who participated as reinforcements from taking over Xu Province. With how rich Xu Province was, it was normal for any Marquis to want to take over.
Currently, the Marquises who needed land and development the most were those who came out of nowhere. Undoubtedly, this included Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei.
Cao Cao's space was compressed by Yang Rui into Chen Liu Prefecture. Sun Jian was basically Yuan Shu's helper. As for Liu Bei, he did not even have a place to stay. The three Marquises of the Three Kingdoms in history and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms were not in a good situation.
As a result, when they encountered the [Battle of Xu Province] storyline, they all wanted to fight for Xu Province. This caused the situation in the game to be even more intense than in history and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
After Yang Rui received the secret letter from the scouts and learned about the information in it, he began thinking about the possible influence that Peng Cheng, Yuan, Sun, and Liu Duan might have, while controlling the Sky Castle to continue rushing to the camp.
Just as Guo Jia had analyzed, Yang Rui did not think too much about taking over Xu Province. It was not that he did not have the confidence to take it down. It was just that Qingzhou and Yanzhou had already made Yang Rui feel that he was lacking in manpower. If he took over Xu Province, he might lose more than he gained.
As a result, the Battle of Peng City did not affect Yang Rui much. Whether it was Liu Bei or Yuan Shu, whoever took over would not pose much of a threat to Yang Rui.
Unless Sun Jian took over Xu Province in the end, there was a possibility that Sky City would become stronger. However, that would require time.
On the other hand, Cao Cao and Lu Bu should be more concerned about the situation at Peng City. He did not know how Cao Cao and Lu Bu would deal with it.
No matter what, Yang Rui could not let Cao Cao and Lu Bu have an easy time. When he returned to the camp, the Qianji Black Armored Battalion had already been set up. Yang Rui immediately gathered Zhang Ning, Han Dai, Ding Yao, Guo Jia, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Huang Wudie, and the others to discuss how to deal with Cao Cao and Lu Bu.
About two hours later, Yang Rui also gathered the leaders of the major player organizations such as Dragon Soul to discuss how to cooperate with the players.
On the morning of the second day, Yang Rui's army had a large number of players leave the camp. They split into a dozen groups and headed south …
