Currently, there were more than ten thousand soldiers in Sky City. Yang Rui returned to the Qianji Black First Battalion and quickly moved half of the 50,000 soldiers into the camp. He also informed the leaders of the Dragon Soul and other player organizations of the possibility of a night attack by Cao Cao and Lu Bu.
Although Yang Rui's act of releasing the soldiers wasn't in front of Tracer, Dragon Soul and the others, the dozen or so leaders of the player organizations in the camp were still amazed by Yang Rui's methods.
Even though they had speculated about this before, the leaders of the Dragon Soul and the others had experienced Yang Rui's method of moving soldiers on such a large scale for the first time, personally experienced the process of a large number of soldiers suddenly appearing in the camp, and witnessed Yang Rui bringing back the news of Cao Cao and Lu Bu's movements, the leaders of the player organizations were still shocked by Yang Rui's methods.
Yang Rui had shown off his methods appropriately. Just like how the other player organizations had used a large-scale offline ambush, he was also flexing his muscles in front of Yang Rui.
With the help of the Qianji Black First Battalion and the Four Symbols Bewildering Formation, Cao Cao and Lu Bu did not dare to face the enemy head-on. Now that Yang Rui had sent out 50,000 soldiers, even if Cao Cao and Lu Bu came together, it would not be a problem for them to hold off the enemy for the time being.
Therefore, Yang Rui only placed half of the soldiers in the Qianji Black First Battalion, leaving Guo Jia to command and Dian Wei to protect him. The rest of the generals were all brought by Yang Rui, ready to launch a counterattack against Cao Cao and Lu Bu's forces when the opportunity arose.
Soon, everything was settled. Yang Rui once again controlled Sky City to fly toward Cao Cao and Lu Bu's camps.
Yang Rui's round trip to and from his own camp took almost an hour. At this time, Cao Cao and Lu Bu's camps still hadn't finished sending out their troops. Troops after troops of soldiers continued to pour out of their camps. It seemed like Cao Cao and Lu Bu were about to play big.
For the past two to three days, Cao Cao and Lu Bu had never stopped investigating Yang Rui's camp. At the beginning, they did not find any traces of Yang Rui's troops. Cao and Lu Bu thought that it was Yang Rui's plan and did not make any moves.
However, as time passed. The Cao and Lu armies still hadn't discovered the movements of Yang Rui's troops in the surrounding area. Many of the Cao and Lu armies thought that Yang Rui was deliberately mystifying things.
Especially in Lu Bu's army, the reaction was especially strong. First of all, almost all of the troops were very confident in Lu Bu's combat strength. In the army, no matter if it was Yang Rui or Cao Cao, they were confident in Lu Bu's strength. In fact, they did not think much of it.
Moreover, after the Dong Zhuo's Rebellion storyline, Lu Bu had never had the chance to fight with Yang Rui. Lu Bu and the others' understanding of Yang Rui was still stuck at that time. They did not think that Yang Rui was strong. They thought that Yang Rui was just strong.
This also determined Lu Bu's current attitude towards Yang Rui.
Although Cao Cao had fought with Yang Rui many times, he knew the strength of Yang Rui's troops. At the same time, he also had some experience of Yang Rui's valiant ability to command troops. Therefore, Cao Cao was still suspicious of Yang Rui's army's indifference.
However, Cao Cao was actively seeking to deplete Yang Rui's forces. With Lu Bu's army by his side, their forces on the surface were close to twice that of Yang Rui's. Therefore, although Cao Cao had unresolved doubts, he did not feel that there was a big problem.
In Cao Cao's view, Yang Rui's troops had been holed up in the camp and did not show themselves. Either they wanted to use the sturdiness of the camp as a defense. Or Yang Rui had other plans and had other arrangements in terms of troops. The camp was just a cover.
Regardless of the situation, Cao Cao did not feel that his and Lu Bu's army would suffer losses. At most, they would suffer some losses in a head-on clash. Logically, there should not be much of an impact.
It was because of this confidence that Cao Cao agreed to Lu Bu's suggestion to directly send troops to Yang Rui's camp. However, for the sake of caution, they still chose to do it at night.
"Sha sha sha..."

The soldiers of Cao Cao and Lu Bu's army held their heads and horses in their hands. Even their feet and hooves were tied with cotton cloth. After resting for more than half a day, they stealthily made their way to Yang Rui's camp under the cover of the night. During their journey, they did not make much noise. Usually, they would just be treated as stones being blown away by the wind.
If not for the convenience of Sky City, Yang Rui would not have been able to discover the movements of the two armies in time.
However, Cao Cao only knew that Yang Rui's troops were mobilized extremely quickly and that he had extremely strong scouting abilities. In previous battles, Cao Cao had suffered many losses. However, he did not know the specific situation of Yang Rui's Sky City.
Until now. Among the NPCs and players who had truly entered Sky City and had a deeper understanding of it, only Liu, Guan, Zhang, and their subordinates had truly entered Sky City and had a deeper understanding of it. At that time, Yang Rui took the initiative to reveal Sky City to intimidate them.
Even if the rest of the people knew some information about Sky City, it was only hearsay.
By the time Yang Rui returned to Cao Cao and Lu Bu's camps, half an hour had passed. There were no more soldiers coming out from the camps. Yang Rui and the others looked down from above and saw that there were very few soldiers left in the two camps.
Most of Cao Cao and Lu Bu's troops had already left their camps.
Yang Rui's attention was not on Cao Cao and Lu Bu's camps. Instead, he wanted to weaken the enemy's forces as much as possible. Therefore, when he saw that Cao Cao and Lu Bu's camps were empty, Yang Rui did not have the slightest intention to attack. Instead, he controlled Sky City to turn north again.
At this time, Cao Cao and Lu Bu's vanguard troops had already arrived in front of Yang Rui's camp. Originally, they were preparing to launch a sneak attack. Naturally, both sides did not hesitate and charged toward the Qianji Black Armored Battalion without hesitation.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Crack!
"Creak! Crack!
Crack!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
Before Cao Cao and Lu Bu's soldiers could reach the vicinity of Yang Rui's campsite, they could already hear the noises of arrows and cannons coming from the campsite. A rain of arrows came crashing down from the trebuchets and catapults, as well as the solid shells from the large scale national avalanches.
The soldiers at the front were hit by the arrows. Even Cao Cao and Lu Bu who were at the back were hit by the catapults and catapults, causing them to suffer heavy casualties.
However, regardless of whether it was Cao Cao or Lu Bu, they only frowned slightly at the sight of Yang Rui's ferocious attacks. After that, they were not angry and instead felt relieved.
