The three gates of Xiaxiang County were blocked by water. Only the west gate could still be accessed normally. However, the water level of the moat had risen a lot and was almost level with the ground.
As a result, Yuan Shu's army could only attack from the west gate of Xiaxiang County. Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, on the other hand, gathered a large number of ranged soldiers to block the west gate.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's strength was not bad. Now that they were alone, it was different from when they were at Peng City. Just the four times denser ranged soldiers were enough to make Yuan Shu's army suffer. Moreover, they also had Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to guide them from the side.
No matter what, Yuan Shu was unable to take down Xiaxiang County in such a short time. Thus, both sides were in a standoff.
When Yuan Shu had activated the Imperial Ruler's Seal's attributes, he felt that he was invincible. This was especially true after he defeated Liu Bei's Peng City. Yuan Shu felt that he could take down any city in the world with a flick of his finger.
But now, he was forcibly blocked outside the city gate of Xiaxiang county. Yuan Shu was unable to restrain himself from going crazy. Even if he was blocked again and again and the losses were not small, Yuan Shu still continued to send soldiers to madly attack the city without stopping.
At Xiaxiang County, the more intense the battle between Yuan Shu and Liu Bei was, the more advantageous it would be for Yang Rui. Both sides would not be able to divert troops to interfere with Yang Rui.
After Yang Rui and Huang Zhong entered Xiapi County, Guo Jia led close to forty thousand troops and rushed over. Half of them were players from large organizations led by Dragon Soul.
Guo Jia led his army and entered Liangcheng County. The previously empty city was immediately consolidated.
After a short pause, Guo Jia had Dragon Soul, Yuan Yuan and Tuan Tuan lead ten thousand players to temporarily take over Liangcheng County. He then led the rest of his troops to continue following Yang Rui to Siwu County.
When Guo Jia 'ai and the others arrived at Siwu County, Yang Rui had already taken down Siwu County and left after splitting up his troops to defend it.
Guo Jia didn't hesitate and handed the task of defending Siwu County to the remaining players. The two bosses of the Rose Alliance and U Alliance would jointly command the troops to defend Siwu County. Guo Jia himself once again led the troops in the direction of Qu Yang to follow Yang Rui.
At the same time. Dian Wei entered the territory of the East Sea County with almost the same number of soldiers. Han Dai, Ding Yao, and Huang Wudie's shortage of troops was greatly alleviated, and the number of guards in the cities that Dian Wei's army passed through was increased to ten thousand.
According to Guo Jia's previous suggestion. Dian Wei also handed over the task of defending the cities to the players from the large organizations.
Also, the leaders of most of the player organizations, such as Iron Blood Sword, Starlight Long Sky, Wolf Totem, and Huaxia's Descendants, were gathered in Dian Wei's army. At the same time, many leaders of the player organizations were also in charge of commanding at critical moments.
Therefore, with the twenty thousand players, they could defend a lot of cities. Han Dai, Ding Yao, Huang Wudie, and Dian Wei were more than enough to free up their hands. They were free to take over the cities in Donghai County.
"System Notice: Honorable player Blazing Sun, congratulations on gaining control of Yinping County in Donghai County. Occupy the city until the Battle of Xuzhou is over (24.62 game days). Yinping County will become your base."
"System Notice: Honorable player Blazing Sun, congratulations on gaining control of Chengxian County in Donghai County. Occupy the city until the Battle of Xuzhou is over (24.33 game days). Chengxian County will become your base."
"System Notice: Honorable player Blazing Sun, congratulations on gaining control of Lanling County in Donghai County. Occupy the city until the Battle of Xuzhou is over (24.8 game days). Lanling County will become your base."
“”
Every time a city was conquered, more and more players would be added. More and more players would come to reinforce the defense. Now that there were no cities to defend, Han Dai, Ding Yao, Huang Wudie, and Dian Wei were able to march forward as fast as lightning without any setbacks.
Large-scale organizations such as Tracing Dragon Soul garrisoned cities. Naturally, they would be able to obtain Plot Completion Points. However, garrisoning cities wasn't a specific quest, so Yang Rui didn't need to distribute the Plot Completion Points.
As system notifications popped up from time to time, Yang Rui was able to keep track of the progress of Han Dai, Ding Yao, Huang Wudie, and Dian Wei in Donghai County. He also had a general idea of the movements of the various forces.
"System Notice: Honorable player Blazing Sun, congratulations on gaining control of Dong 'an County in Donghai County. Occupy the city until the Battle of Xuzhou is over (.79 game days). Dong 'an County will become your base. "
“”
On the third day of the confrontation between Yuan Shu and Liu Bei in Xiangxian County, a system notification popped up. There was finally movement in Langxie County. This signified that five days after Yang Rui's order, Xu You and Guan Hai of Taishan County had finally entered Langxie County and taken down the first city.
Langxie County already had very few soldiers defending it. Who knew how many soldiers Xu You and Guan Hai had brought with them. Once they started to attack the city, it was like a tornado had appeared on a calm lake. One city after another was conquered by the two. Yang Rui would also receive news about the seizing of cities in Langxie County from time to time.
If it was not for the fact that Yang Rui had a limited number of generals and could split up more troops, Yang Rui would have been able to take the cities of Xuzhou even faster. Similarly, if Yang Rui had enough generals, he would not have been satisfied with the Xuzhou region to the north of Sishui, Wenshui, and Juye Lake.
At this time, Yang Rui had already met up with Guo Jia and had taken over Quyang City a day and a half ago. Not long before that day, he had stepped into Guangling Prefecture and taken over Jiexi City, which was located in the northeast corner.
At this time, Yang Rui had already captured all the cities along the north shore of Sishui, Wenshui, and Juye Lake. Most of the cities in Donghai County had also been captured by Han Dai, Ding Yao, Huang Wudie, and Dian Wei.
The only area that was progressing slower was Langxie County in the north. At this time, Xu You and Guan Hai were already in position.
Moreover, because Langxie County was in the north, it would not be threatened by Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, and the other forces in the south. There was still more than 20 game days before the battle for Xuzhou ended. Thus, Yang Rui was not in a hurry.
At this moment, the most anxious person was definitely Yuan Shu, who had been attacking Xiangcheng County for a long time. At this time, it had already been a few days since Yuan Shu activated the Imperial Jade Seal. According to Yang Rui's estimation, the effect of the Imperial Jade Seal should be ending soon!
