Xu You proposed to avoid the current demands of Yuan Shao and Liu Dai for Qiao Mao, Jizhou, and Qingzhou, and Yang Rui also happily agreed.

For Yang Rui, being able to make Xu You follow him has already weakened Yuan Shao's strength a lot, and he already has arrangements to deal with Yuan Shao, so there is no need to use Xu You.

So Yang Rui asked Xu You to go to Dashan City to live temporarily, and by the way, he could also take care of the affairs of Dashan City. At present, Wang Hailai's ability to take charge of Dashan City is already somewhat insufficient, although Yang Rui did not clearly entrust Xu Yu with any responsibilities, in fact, he also has the intention of verifying his ability.

Yang Rui made Xu You follow him, and also obtained his subjugation task, although it was a bit unexpected, but it is not surprising when you think about it carefully, when Yang Rui initially subdued Zhang Ning, he did not go through the following task link, and it was the subduing task link as soon as he came up.

And this time, Xu Yu's table xiàn also verified one point again, that is, the historical generals/historical celebrities of the hostile camp can skip the follow-up link, but the NPCs of the non-hostile camp generally have to do the follow-up link task first. This is also the experience that Yang Rui has repeatedly verified so far.

After sending Xu You back to Dashan City, Yang Rui was also able to regain control of the battlefield situation in Changyi City, and took advantage of the convenience of the Daofeng Flying Carpet to investigate the movements of the attacking and defending sides as much as possible. As Liu Dai noticed before, Liu Dai came to attack the city this time, and every step was steady, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry.

Changyi City used to be Liu Dai's seat of governance before, so there was not much geographical advantage for Qiao Mao, especially after Liu Dai arrived in Changyi City, he first controlled all the towns and villages around the city. It can be said that in addition to the lonely city of Changyi City. Qiao Mao does not have any home field advantage in the near future.

And after Liu Dai arrived in Changyi City. Sure enough, the "tunnel soldiers" led by Xu You gathered up a lot, and reopened the tunnel entrance that had been buried by Yang Rui, and it seems that he has not given up the use of this tunnel.

This may be one of the reasons why Liu Dai's army did not immediately attack the city after arriving in Changyi City, but did not move. After Yang Rui found out about this, he naturally wanted to stop it, but more than ten miles around Changyi City was already full of Liu Dai's subordinates, and the grove where the tunnel entrance was located was all within the range of Liu Dai's subordinates, and it was not ordinarily difficult for Yang Rui to make a move.

Fortunately, according to Yang Rui's observation from afar, there was no sign of the "tunnel soldiers" re-operation. There was no new sand around the woods, and there should not be many "tunnel soldiers" who came to Liu Dai to collect them, plus Yang Rui had buried the excavation tools in the depths of the tunnel, so it should be difficult to re-enter the construction.

After Xu You followed Yang Rui, Yang Rui also asked about the current situation of this tunnel, and learned that although the tunnel had been excavated under Changyi City, it would take some effort to complete the final workload, so that the soldiers could break into the city. Therefore, it is not easy for Liu Dai to restart this tunnel.

On the one hand, Liu Dai only tentatively carried out some attacks after the siege of the city, and it seemed that he would wait for the completion of the tunnel before launching a general attack; On the other hand. Several generals in Yang Rui's hands and more than 15,000 cavalry from Dashan City are also on their way to Changyi City, if the two can reach Changyi City in time. It is likely to reverse the current passive situation of Qiao Mao's defense of the city.

This situation lasted for two days, and the cavalry of Dashan City, which Yang Rui estimated should have arrived, had not arrived; During this period, Liu Dai also tried to attack the city several times, but he also did not make any progress, and Qiao Mao's defense of the city was still relatively well done when life and death were at stake.

It can also be seen from this that no matter how meticulous the previous planning was, it was inevitable that there would be some such and such abnormalities when it came to the time of war. For Yang Rui, the more favorable news is that Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and the other three finally arrived in Changyi City on time and connected with Yang Rui.

"Lord, since Liu Dai has not given up digging tunnels, and new sand has been transported out of the forest, it is better for a few of us to take advantage of tonight to kill the past, and we can use our hands and feet to rush into the tunnel" Gao Shun, who has always been silent, took the initiative to build a road this time.

Since Yang Rui had been paying attention to the tunnels in the woods, and had repeatedly mentioned the huge threat that the tunnels might bring to Qiao Mao's defense of the city, Gao Shun, Zhang Ning, Zhang Liao and the others arrived and made suggestions on how to eliminate the threat of the tunnels.

"If you use the Jizhen Jade Talisman to urge the Dao Wind Flying Carpet, I wonder if you can use the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain skill?"

It is undeniable that Gao Shun's mention is still relatively realistic, if Yang Rui and several generals take advantage of the night to kill in the woods, safety should not be a big problem. However, Yang Rui did not immediately respond to Gao Shun's suggestion, but turned to Zhang Ning and asked.

"Yes. What does the lord mean," Zhang Ning replied, and at the same time, his eyes flashed with brilliance, as if he had comprehended what Yang Rui wanted to express.

Zhang Ning was originally a very quiet and penetrating person, and it was normal for him to be inspired after Yang Rui's inquiry. In fact, just as Zhang Ning thought, Yang Rui did think of a good idea.

In fact, Yang Rui had this idea after subduing Zhang Ning, but he didn't try it all along. Zhang Ning's Heavenly Spirit Set comes with the powerful skill of "Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain", but the casting range of this skill is only 1000m*1000m, which is definitely not vast on the actual battlefield, and it is also limited by the continuous casting of the stake, and I am afraid that only the city defense or breakthrough battle can play a key role.

And at the beginning, Yang Rui had imagined that since the Jizhen Jade Talisman could store internal force, Dao techniques, etc., to urge the Dao Wind Flying Carpet, then if the Dao Wind Flying Carpet could be combined with Zhang Ning's Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain skill, wouldn't it be possible to transform Zhang Ning's fixed firepower point into a mobile battery!?

Through Yang Rui's prompt, Zhang Ning reacted immediately, and Gao Shun and Zhang Liao then understood Yang Rui's intentions, so Yang Rui and a few others only waited for night to fall and put this idea into practice.

"Whoosh"

"Crackle! Roar"

"Whew"

Liu Dai's troops stationed on the south side of Changyi City had already begun to rest one after another, but they were disturbed by a strange noise in the sky, and some soldiers immediately drilled out of the camp to check the situation, and almost all of them were stunned by what they saw!

I saw that in the sky, it seemed that a fire dragon raised its head from the southeast of Changyi City, and rushed towards the southwest of Changyi City, and in the area of more than 1,000 meters wide, the fist-sized fire rain fell one after another, and the things on the ground covered by the fire rain had turned into a fiery red!

This is the power of the Zhang Mobile Battery, at this time, Zhang Ning is sitting upright on the Dao Wind Flying Carpet, with his back to the direction of the Dao Wind Flying Carpet, and continues to cast the Great Move of Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain to the place behind him, and the place where he passes has already turned into a sea of fire.

Of course, Zhang Ning's route to drive the Dao Feng Flying Carpet forward also happened to pass through the woods where the tunnel entrance was located, and the primary goal of her driving the Dao Feng Flying Carpet to perform the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain was this forest, and the routes she passed through were all designed in advance, and the routes flown by the Dao Feng Flying Carpet under the drive of the array jade talisman were all straight, and it was not difficult to cover the location of the woods.

So after the Dao Wind Flying Carpet passed over the woods, the trees covered by the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain below it were ignited at the first time, even if the flames of the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain had not yet left the category of ordinary fire, but compared to ordinary flames, it was still much stronger, so the fire belt in the forest was also rapidly expanding to all sides, and there was a tendency to completely engulf the entire forest.

Needless to say, the woods near the tunnel entrance is the area where Zhang Ningtian's Spirit Fire Rain skill directly works, because there are many soldiers guarding it nearby, so when the fire rises, these soldiers suffered as soon as possible.

"Fire! Fire ah"

"Help!"

"Run"

"Crack! Boom"

“”

The woods initially erupted in the sounds of soldiers struggling and cries for help, but they were quickly drowned out by the sound of flames bursting, as if it was only for a moment and there was no more movement.

"What's going on!?"

At this time, Liu Dai had just rested in the camp of the West Gate, but he was quickly woken up by the messengers, and when he came out of the camp to look at the southwest of Changyi City, he was also frightened by the scene in the sky and on the ground.

Originally, in Liu Dai's opinion, it was very unsmooth to attack Changyi City this time, first of all, the vanguard troops fell into Qiao Mao's empty city plan and retreated; Then Liu Dai found that the "tunnel soldiers" sent by Yuan Shao to help were also dispersed in advance by the opponent, and Xu You, who commanded the "tunnel soldiers", was also taken captive; Now that he has encountered fire and rain from the sky, not to mention how much loss has been caused to Liu Dai, the morale of his subordinates has been affected one after another!

"Good! All right! Heaven help me! ”

Some people are worried, some people are happy, at this time, on the tower of the south gate of Changyi City, Qiao Mao and his subordinates stood still and watched a river of fire appear in the south of the city, compared to Liu Dai, his perspective is naturally better, of course, the mood is also better than the other party, I don't know how much!

At this time, although Qiao Mao was not sure that Yang Rui was secretly helping, he also thought of it somewhat, but in his mouth, he attributed this sudden fire rain to "Tianzhao", which was undoubtedly more encouraging in terms of improving the morale of the soldiers. (To be continued......)
