Yang Rui had already flattened half of Xiangxian's city walls. After Yang Rui's siege weapons blasted a large hole in the wall, Yang Rui's troops directly charged into the city like a hot knife through butter.
Yuan Shu's Imperial Jade Seal's fog effect was still effective against Cao Cao's remaining troops. However, against Yang Rui's troops who had already activated the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, it was no longer effective. This was equivalent to Yuan Shu indirectly helping Yang Rui.
In a situation where their field of vision was not symmetrical, the attacking and defending sides were in a completely unbalanced state. Cao Cao's remaining troops could not even see the figures of Yang Rui's troops. They could only blindly attack. Naturally, their efficiency did not need to be mentioned.
On the other hand, Yang Rui's troops were in a completely normal state. Adding on the buff from the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, Yang Rui's troops' morale was even higher. Comparing the two, the result was already decided from the start.
What was even more worth mentioning was that the Boiling Hearts attribute also had a one-way suppression effect on those who were not from the same faction. Yang Rui had a general understanding of the so-called suppression effect. It should be a double suppression of morale and combat power.
This undoubtedly made the battle of Xiangxian even less suspenseful. It was just that Cao Cao's remnant army had retreated too quickly, so much so that Yang Rui did not have a concrete understanding of the effects of the state of coercion. To understand its specific effects, he would have to wait until he encountered other opponents in the future to continue observing. You want to see?
Xiangxian's city had been breached. The 10 thousand plus Cao Cao's troops, including NPCs and players, had all been wiped out by Yang Rui. Because of this, Yang Rui had once again earned close to 10 million story completion points. His total was already close to 40 million.
Even if this storyline did not release the story completion rankings, with the number of story completion points Yang Rui had obtained, there was definitely no one who could compare to Yang Rui.
However, he did not know if the Plot Completion Rate was similar to the previous Plot Completion Points. Could it be exchanged or rewarded in the end?
The story completion rate was not Yang Rui's greatest gain. Putting aside the equipment, skills, gold and other items, Yang Rui's most unexpected gain from the battle of Xiangxian County was that he had once again captured another Cao Cao's subordinate.
Cao Cao's subordinate was Lu Qian!
Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, and the other powerful generals of Yang Rui were all around. Naturally, Lu Qian couldn't cause any trouble. Furthermore, the city guards were already in a state of collapse. Lu Qian was finally captured by Zhao Yun in less than three moves.
At the last moment, Cao Cao broke out of the encirclement and escaped. Yang Rui originally thought that there were no longer any high-ranking officers in Xiangxian County. Lu Qian being captured was a complete surprise.
"General Lu Qian. Before the battle, my soldiers had offended you in many ways. It is indeed because the two armies are facing each other that we cannot treat them well. I hope the general does not mind.
Blazing Sun has heard of General Lu Qian for a long time. To be able to meet you now, it is my honor. I don't know if the general is willing to follow me and support the Han Dynasty together. "
When Lu Qian was brought to the Xiangxian County's Three Houses Inner City Hall, Yang Rui, who was originally sitting on the main seat, hurriedly got up to greet Lu Qian.
Yang Rui's words were not false. "Heard of for a long time" was not a big deal to players. Yang Rui also understood Lu Qian quite well.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Qian was not very famous in Cao Cao's camp. But in reality, Lu Qian could be considered a person who was proficient in both the pen and the sword. Yang Rui was well aware of the fact that he was adept at leading troops and governing the land.
Facing Yang Rui's actions, Lu Qian seemed to be quite surprised. However, his expression only froze for a moment. He stood there and did not continue to react, nor did he open his mouth to speak.
Yang Rui tried to persuade him again, but Lu Qian still did not say anything. Yang Rui could only arrange for him to travel with Zhao Yun alone. He also sent more guards to follow them, which was equivalent to putting him under house arrest. With Zhao Yun's strength, it would be difficult for Lu Qian to escape.
If nothing unexpected happened, Lu Qian should be a famous historical general. If they only sent soldiers, they might not be able to guard him. However, since he was in Yang Rui's army, he would not dare to rashly act rashly.
Even so, Yang Rui still had Zhao Yun guard him, not giving him a chance to escape. Yang Rui felt that as long as he persevered, Lu Qian would be a useful talent. In the end, he should be able to subdue him.
In actuality, Yang Rui still had a chance to use the Violet Gold Grade Enlistment Token. If he used it, the chances of subduing Lu Qian would not be low. However, Yang Rui was not in a rush. It was more suitable to use the Violet Gold Grade Enlistment Token on unfamiliar neutral characters.
For example, Lu Qian was currently a captive in Yang Rui's hands. He would not be able to escape. Evidently, it was best to wait until he met a famous historical general. If he could not use force, then it would be best to use the Violet Gold Grade Enlistment Token.
Xiang County had been razed to the ground by Yang Rui's troops. Yang Rui did not stop and immediately gathered his troops. He left the northeastern border of Pei Kingdom and went around the western side of Juye Lake, heading straight for Liu County and Guang Qi County.
According to Yang Rui's defensive plan, Yang Rui needed to take down Liu County, Guang Qi, Fu Yang, and Wu Yuan County. As for Peng Cheng, Lu County, Wu County, and Shiqiu County in the south, Yang Rui did not plan to interfere.
As for Xiang County, which he had just taken down, it did not belong to Xu Province. There was no point in leaving it there. Yang Rui naturally gave up on it and did not leave a single soldier to defend it.
The leaders of Dragon Soul and the other player organizations obviously did not think highly of Xiang County. Whether it was in terms of location or prosperity, Xiang County was not outstanding. It was not suitable for them to establish themselves in Xu Province. As such, after Yang Rui's troops headed north, Dragon Soul and the other players followed closely behind Yang Rui.
Currently, Sky City was still suppressed by the Imperial Ruler's Seal and could not be used. Yang Rui guessed that Yuan Shu's Imperial Ruler's Seal would last for about ten game days. During this time, Sky City would not be able to be used. Otherwise, Yang Rui would be able to gather his troops even faster.
Under normal circumstances, Yang Rui's troops were much slower. Before night fell, Yang Rui's troops had only managed to go around half of Juye Lake and set up camp near the water.
Yang Rui used this opportunity to send his troops to collect boats, wooden rafts, and other transportation tools. At the same time, he tried to find Gan Ning and his troops in Juye Lake.
As long as they could successfully cross the narrow area of Juye Lake, Yang Rui could lead his troops straight to Liu County. (To be continued.)
