Yang Rui sent out fifty thousand cavalry to lure the enemy. Cao Cao and Lu Bu also cooperated. Both sides sent out fifty to sixty thousand cavalry to chase the enemy. However, the range of pursuit was very limited. It was only within a few dozen li of both camps.
Although this distance was enough for them to reach the area where the seven to eight hundred thousand players were lying in ambush, the two hours limit for players to log off was not up yet. Also, Cao and Lu Bu's armies had only stepped into the periphery of the ambush and did not continue to go deeper.
Therefore, it was not suitable for players to set up an ambush.
The cavalry arranged by Cao Cao and Lu Bu gave up after chasing for a while. After that, they all returned to their own camps. The cavalry that Yang Rui used to lure the enemy continued to harass them. This happened several times in a row.
Just like the cavalry used by Cao Cao to lure the enemy, Yang Rui's fifty thousand cavalry were all lightly armored. They only shouted and made noise from afar. When Cao Cao and Lu Bu's armies showed signs of moving out to meet the enemy, they immediately retreated.
It could be said that the intention of luring the enemy was very obvious. However, Cao Cao and Lu Bu's armies also cooperated very well. The scene looked a bit strange.
In the end, Cao Cao's strength had increased a lot. At this time, Lu Bu's forces happened to be on the side. Cao Cao also wanted to use Lu Bu's forces to find an opportunity to confront Yang Rui head-on and use this to weaken Yang Rui's forces.
If that was not the case, Cao Cao did not need to set up camp in an empty space. Within Xu Province, there were many cities of various sizes. Even within Pei County, there were many cities. Choosing any one of them to set up camp in would be much more stable.
However, that way, Yang Rui's forces would not need to attack the city. How would Cao Cao have the chance to find an opportunity to exhaust Yang Rui?
For Lu Bu's forces, with Chen Gong's help, it was impossible for him to not see Cao Cao's intentions. The reason why he was able to cooperate was because Lu Bu and Yang Rui had some old grudges. During Yang Rui's imperial wedding, Lu Bu felt that he had suffered a lot.
On the other hand. Lu Bu's forces had also reached a consensus with Cao Cao's forces. They believed that Yang Rui's army would be the biggest obstacle in the [Battle of Xu Province] storyline. Therefore, cooperating with Cao Cao to weaken Yang Rui's forces was in Lu Bu's interests.
This way, both sides would have the patience to deal with Yang Rui. It wasn't hard to explain. In the end, whether it was Yang Rui, Cao Cao, or Lu Bu, they were all planning a direct confrontation. Once the time was right, this conflict would erupt!
At this point. Yang Rui also had some understanding of this. Guo Jia's suggestion to have a direct confrontation with Cao Cao and Lu Bu was also in line with the current situation.
Just as Yang Rui, Cao Cao, and Lu Bu's forces were repeating the cycle of luring and being lured, Yang Rui shook his head. He knew that there wouldn't be any results in a short period of time. He had to continue the show to wear down the other side's patience and confuse their judgment.
Bored, Yang Rui checked his character's attribute pane. At this time, the (Art of War Skills) item in his character's attribute pane had changed to "Sun Tzu's Art of War (Thirteen Chapters): Beginner's Level".
Not long ago, after the 700,000 to 800,000 players completed the offline ambush, Yang Rui received a system notification. It said that Yang Rui's arrangement coincided with Sun Tzu's Art of War (Thirteen Chapters): The Art of War, Sun Tzu's Art of War skills had been upgraded to a new level!
Yang Rui didn't expect this at all. The measures that were originally designed by players like Dragon Soul and others were now considered to be part of Yang Rui's storyline faction and were personally arranged by Yang Rui. Therefore, the system recognized it as Yang Rui's strategy, which benefited Yang Rui and allowed his Art of War skills to be upgraded to a new level.
I wonder how Sun Tzu, Dragon Soul, and others would react if they knew about this.
After a whole morning, the 50,000 cavalrymen that Yang Rui sent out to lure the enemy naturally didn't have any effect. Yang Rui didn't delay and directly ordered the cavalrymen to give up on luring the enemy. When they were about to return to the camp, Yang Rui placed them in Sky City.
Almost all of the 700,000 to 800,000 players had gone offline to hide. At this time, Yang Rui's camp only had a dozen or so players like Dragon Soul, as well as a few of Yang Rui's soldiers who were in charge of supervising and guarding the camp. The huge camp was only used as a command post by Yang Rui.
All the soldiers were placed in Sky City by Yang Rui, and all the players went offline. For the time being, Yang Rui was prepared to lay low and play an empty fort strategy for Cao Cao and Lu Bu.
Due to the existence of the on-duty team. The players could come online in large numbers at any time or accept the latest arrangements.
Within the non-combat area, Yang Rui's soldiers in Sky City were even more convenient. For example, in the Qianji Black Armored Camp, as long as Cao Cao and Lu Bu's troops hadn't entered the camp, Yang Rui could release them at any time.
Therefore, Yang Rui's Empty City was probably the most realistic Empty City. Coupled with the concealment of two sets of Four Symbols Maze, it was hard to tell whether it was real or fake. Cao and Lu might not be more patient than Yang Rui when it came to investigating.
The battle between Yang Rui, Cao Cao, and Lu Bu in the south-central part of Pei Country seemed to have quietened down. On the other hand, the situation in Peng City in the north-eastern part was different. It could be said that it was very lively.
After Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's troops failed to attack the city on the first day, they were very unwilling to give up. In the afternoon of the same day, they began to wantonly cut down trees everywhere. They made large battering rams, scaling ladders and other siege weapons. They were actively preparing to attack the city again.
Early in the morning, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian reorganized their troops and horses to attack the city once again. Due to the abundance of siege weapons, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's troops seemed to have a greater advantage in this siege. However, the siege lasted from Mao to Si, but Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's troops still only had one soldier standing on the city wall!
"Kill!"
"Kill …"
"Kill …"
"Sou! Sou! Sou! "
"Kill …"
"…"
"…"
Under the north gate of Peng City, Sun Jian's brows were furrowed. His right hand gripped the sword at his waist and he was about to charge forward.
"Milord, you can't. This is not a battle between us. Please don't take the risk!"
At this moment, Cheng Pu who was beside Sun Jian grabbed him. Sun Jian hesitated and had no choice but to give up on his previous plan.
"All Tiger's Soldiers listen to my orders …"
"…"
"Milord!"
