Chapter 424: Forced to Retreat

Previously, when Zhang Ning used the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain skill alone, he was straight to the point, at most, he had set the path of the Dao Wind Flying Carpet in advance, and after repeating it a few times, all the soldiers of Liu Dai's department had already touched this rule.

Therefore, when Zhang Ning's Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain skill appeared in the air again, except for a part of Liu Dai's troops who were in front of the Dao Wind Flying Carpet, the rest of Liu Dai's troops were not so panicked, in their opinion, the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain should not involve a wider area.

The facts have once again proved the truth of "empiricism kills people", and this time it was Yang Rui who used the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain skill with Zhang Ning! With Yang Rui controlling the direction of the Dao Wind Flying Carpet, Zhang Ning's Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain was spread almost wherever the soldiers were densely populated, and wherever it was spread, it would inevitably immediately turn into a sea of fire!

Originally, they had seen the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain skill a few times, and Liu Dai's subordinates, who were still relatively calm at this time, suddenly panicked again, and the soldiers in the camps were a little overwhelmed after discovering the changes in the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain, because the skill of the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain was obviously going to a crowded place, and it would change direction at any time, so it could be said that there was no safe place to run if you wanted to.

"Whoosh"

"Crackle! Boom"

“”

With the roundabout release of Zhang Ningtian's spiritual fire rain, almost in an instant, the area of Liu Dai's camp around Changyi City was already on fire, and almost everywhere inside and outside the camp were soldiers running or wailing, and a large area of Liu Dai's soldiers was already in flames.

"How so?! How can this be"

Liu Dai had already come out of the tent where he lived, and at this time he was looking at the culprit who was going back and forth and pouring fire everywhere. Still a little still don't believe in their eyes!

The Wind Flying Carpet flies only 3 feet above the ground. If it is in a normal state. Even from a distance, it can be relatively easy to spot, but the speed of the Wind Flying Carpet at 5 times the speed of a horse is so fast that it is almost impossible for a person of low strength to lock on to its target!

"Tell Lord Assassin Shi, his subordinates have also discussed how to deal with this fire rain, and almost all of them think that the other party is fast, and only by making all the long-range archers attack in advance in the direction of the fire rain can they hit the other party! Please consider it."

Liu Dai's subordinates actually have a group of strategists and generals such as Wang Yu, Xu Yan, Wang Kai, Wang Qiu, Xu Xi, Mao Hui, etc., although the strength of these people is still a little behind that of well-known historical celebrities/historical generals. But they all have a lot of skills. At this critical moment, it was Liu Dai's first strategist Wang Yu who stood up and admonished.

"Quick! Fast! According to General Wang's intentions, all the long-range archers will do their best to deal with the things in the air" After being reminded by his subordinates, Liu Dai came to his senses and hurriedly ordered the archers to attack the Dao Feng Flying Carpet in the air.

However, the scene was so chaotic at this time, and Liu Dai's order could not be passed on in a moment and a half. Moreover, Yang Rui has always had safety considerations, and when he drove the Daofeng Flying Carpet, he always rushed left and right, often changing routes, which not only caused chaos among Liu Dai's troops on the ground, but also made the other party almost unable to grasp the trajectory of his flight.

Wang Yu and the others Liu Daibu came up with a method that might be useful when Zhang Ning walked in a straight line in the past. And even if it can be implemented now, the results achieved may not be as effective as imagined. The trajectory of the Dao Feng Flying Carpet is not boundary, and Yang Rui's original intention of walking with Zhang Ning is also to protect her safety, as long as ordinary bows and arrows are not too dense, they generally cannot threaten Yang Rui.

However, the threat of bows and arrows to the Dao Feng Flying Carpet is still there, and occasionally some arrows find the direction of the Dao Feng Flying Carpet, all of which are pushed away by Yang Rui, needless to say, but Yang Rui also felt it when he pushed away these arrows, and the power of these arrows is much stronger than ordinary arrows!

It was precisely because of the extremely fast flight speed of the Dao Wind Flying Carpet that the arrows chasing behind it were naturally unloaded with a lot of strength, and they could not even catch up with the speed of the Dao Wind Flying Carpet at all, or they were directly incinerated by the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain.

In addition to the speed of the arrow itself, it is equivalent to the momentum of the wind flying carpet, and the power of the arrow is several times greater, and the threat caused is of course a lot greater, which is the same as the reality of the plane hitting the bird.

It is precisely because of the mutual addition of the strength of the two that Yang Rui secretly estimated that he was afraid that the arrows shot by the strength of the senior martial arts generals would be able to reach the attack equivalent to that of the special generals, and no matter how high it was, I am afraid that even Yang Rui would not be able to resist it! In other words, the flying carpet of the wind also carries some dangers when flying above Liu Dai's camp.

After realizing this, Yang Rui also paid more attention, and deliberately controlled the Dao Wind Flying Carpet to fly towards the most chaotic area on the ground, so that the threat of attack on it was reduced a lot, and the soldiers were in a hurry to flee for their lives, where was there time to attack the Dao Wind Flying Carpet?

Aside from these potential threats, Yang Rui and Zhang Ning both have extremely thick defenses, especially Zhang Ning's Heavenly Spirit Dao Robe* Soul, which has a defense power of up to 160-200, and the attacks they can withstand are naturally not low; Even Yang Rui's gold-level Lan Silver Armor* soul has a defense power as high as 120-150, which is not much lower than the soul of the Heavenly Spirit Dao Robe*.

Therefore, Yang Rui did not worry too much about safety problems when he was on guard, but tried his best to manipulate the wind flying carpet, or rampage, or rushed left and right, like operating a skateboard, floating and drifting away, using the entire sky as a venue, wantonly splashing fire and rain

This night is not destined to be a lonely night, Liu Dai launched an attack on Changyi City just after nightfall, and then Yang Rui's cavalry appeared on the periphery to harass, after stopping and stopping, Liu Dai finally settled down and divided the troops, but who knew that the most exciting had just begun to be staged.

Yang Rui and Zhang Ning drove the Daofeng Flying Carpet and splashed the rain of fire for half an hour, only making the fire within a radius of fifty or sixty miles of Changyi City, and illuminating the entire sky as if it were day, so it was not lively and chaotic! This is the longest spell casting time Zhang Ning has ever cast, and it has almost reached the time limit for casting.

During this period, Liu Dai's order to attack the archers was naturally not carried out, and seeing that his soldiers were attacked by the fire rain and wiped out in large areas, Liu Dai finally ordered the soldiers in each camp to start to disperse and retreat under the persuasion of several generals!

At this time, Liu Dai no longer had to worry that the soldiers in Changyi City would go out of the city to attack and kill, and the soldiers in the city could not be driven out when there were flames everywhere, which may be the only positive effect that the fire rain brought to Liu Dai's troops.

After discovering the actions of Liu Dai's troops, Yang Rui and Zhang Ning immediately stopped and returned to the town territory where the cavalry was stationed in the south of Changyi City, because Liu Dai was likely to withdraw his troops with the help of scattered evacuation!

If it was placed before Yang Rui and Zhang Ning had not used the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain skill, Yang Rui thought that even if Liu Dai's success rate in capturing Changyi City had decreased, he did not expect that Liu Dai would withdraw his troops in a short period of time, not to mention that he would have to fight for a few days to see the situation.

And after this fire, the number of Liu Dai's subordinates lost was not a few, from Yang Rui's general estimation of the transfer of the princes' contribution value, merit value, and point value, the number of Liu Dai's subordinates lost more than 50,000 people in just half an hour! This is not counting the rest of the losses such as equipment and equipment, so Yang Ruicai, under Zhang Ning's reminder, judged that Liu Dai was likely to withdraw his troops.

"Rectify the soldiers and prepare to pursue Liu Dai's troops!"

Yang Rui returned to the city territory, and while untying the ropes tied to his and Zhang Ning's ankles, he let the herald pass it on. Yang Rui and Zhang Ning made such a big noise, the cavalry soldiers who were originally sleeping had already been alarmed at this time, and it saved a lot of things by passing on orders and preparing for the pursuit.

"The Lord"

"Governor of the Governor"

At this time, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao had also rushed to Yang Rui's tent, and when they saw that Yang Rui was bending down to relieve him and Zhang Ning of the ankle rope, the two also paused slightly.

"Well, you and the two came just in time, Liu Dai's troops are afraid that they will retreat at this time, and you and the others also bring 5,000 cavalry each, ready to pursue Liu Dai's troops separately. Zhang Ning has consumed a lot, and I will also lead the way with Zhang Ning," Yang Rui said while putting away the rope.

"No!"

Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao responded one after another, and then each went to collect and gather the cavalry soldiers, and prepared to pursue Liu Dai.

Yang Rui's side packed up the troops and horses to prepare for the pursuit, and the Qiao Mao troops in Changyi City were not idle, they had watched a good show all night, but the time to really face Liu Dai's troops to attack the city was very short, and now almost all the guards in the city were full of morale and enthusiasm, and many people had already shouted that they wanted to go out of the city to help in the battle!

It's just that at this time, there is a huge fire around Changyi City, and it is not very convenient for the soldiers in the city to get out of the city even if they want to. However, Qiao Mao is not an idle person, after the fire appeared, he naturally had a full view of the faces of Liu Dai's subordinates, and also had some suspicions, so Qiao Mao had also ordered the soldiers to prepare to pursue Liu Dai.

"Lord Thorn Shi! The soldiers were attacked and harassed again and again, so it was better to retreat to Puyang for rectification first, contact Yuan Shao Taishou and contact Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei again, and take the opportunity to rectify the soldiers and horses to take Changyi City again."

"Yes, Lord Assassin, if you withdraw from the army, you need to be harassed sooner, and sooner you may be harassed."

“”

80 miles west of Changyi City, in a town territory where Liu Dai temporarily settled, Wang Yu and other generals were persuading Liu Dai, who had an unwilling expression.

"Retire! Retire now! (To be continued......)
