Chapter 259: Counterattack

Due to the high terrain outside the eastern city, the flood slowly spread eastward uncontrollably after running through the north and south, and the raging fires in the places where the flood passed were not all extinguished, but many fire points were still burning with floating objects, and were gradually sent to the Fuhe River by the overflowing water.

The combustible floating debris in the auxiliary river gathered more and more, so that the poplar trees that were originally stuffed when the Xiqiang rebels crossed the river were gradually ignited! Seeing this situation, Yang Rui operated the hurricane to wreak havoc on the auxiliary river for a while, almost turning the entire river into a raging sea of fire!

The time limit of the "Wind Charm" was only half an hour, and Yang Rui found that the location of crossing the auxiliary river was not far away was already the limit distance for operating a hurricane, so Yang Rui could only bring the fire to the vicinity of the location on the other side of the river, and he could no longer continue to penetrate into the camp of the Xiqiang rebels.

Rao is like this, within the time limit of half an hour of the "Wind Charm", the Xiqiang rebel soldiers have already suffered huge casualties, and they have taken the initiative to retreat a considerable distance! After the time limit of half an hour had passed, the Xiqiang rebel soldiers dared to return to their position near the Fuhe River.

However, it was not quiet above the surface of the river, and it was not too long before the fire spread to the river, and the floating debris on it was still burning. Although Zhang Ning once said that the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain did not go beyond the scope of ordinary fire, according to Yang Rui's observation, it had actually reached the peak of the mortal fire level, and the power was very sufficient, and there were not a few combustibles on the water surface of the auxiliary river, so the fire was still raging on the surface of the auxiliary river.

In this way, another half hour or so passed, and the fire above the auxiliary river finally stopped, and thick smoke rose everywhere. Blanket the entire surface of the river. It's not even possible to see across the river in broad daylight! Fortunately, the fire outside Ledu City has not completely subsided at this time. The rebel soldiers can still vaguely see the outline of Ledu City!

By the time the fire in the east of Ledu City gradually subsided, there was little time left for the Xiqiang rebels to attack the city, and at this time, there was a riot in the rear of the Xiqiang rebels! It turned out that Yang Rui used the Najie and the Dao Wind Flying Carpet to transport the remaining five or six thousand Yellow Turban 1st Order soldiers on the surface of the Half Moon Lake on the north side of the city, and launched a sneak attack on the Xiqiang rebels on a detour!

These Tier 1 Yellow Turban Troops all needed Yang Rui's points to resurrect, and due to the delay of the fire, Yang Rui was worried that he would miss the opportunity to send them to death, so he took the initiative to send them out. And because the access speed of the ring is limited by the system. Therefore, the whole process took Yang Rui a whole hour!

Of course, before transporting a large number of Rank 1 Yellow Turban soldiers out to their deaths, Yang Rui turned over all the items they had picked up when they were defending along the Auxiliary River, so as not to be busy in vain after they exploded.

The Xiqiang rebels wanted to use the last time period to attack Ledu City again, but they didn't want their rear to be harassed by a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers, although the Xiqiang rebels did not make much effort to eliminate all these Yellow Turban soldiers, but this delay wasted a lot of time!

By the time the Xiqiang rebels laboriously crossed the messy auxiliary river on the water surface and entered under the eastern city wall of Ledu again, there was not much time left for Yang Rui to defend! At this time, the already exhausted defenders of the city, especially the more than 1,600 fourth-order and fifth-order archers, had also recovered most of them. In the face of the Xiqiang rebels swarming again, their attacks were sharp again.

The two sides are once again locked in a stalemate between attack and defense. However, there is not much time left for the Xiqiang rebels, and the time limit for Yang Rui to defend Ledu City for 6 game days is approaching!

"System Prompt: Dear player Lieyang, congratulations on completing the second phase of the 'Origin of the Qiang Tribe' mission - defending Ledu City for 6 game days, you get the task item - Qiang special equipment parts, and get a monetary reward of 1000 gold coins."

Almost a quarter of an hour later, the system prompt that the second phase of the task of "The Origin of the Qiang Tribe" had been completed, and the Xiqiang rebels who were besieging the city retreated hulala, and retreated all the way to the auxiliary river outside Ledu City before they were stationed again. It was only at this time that Yang Rui breathed a sigh of relief!

"System Prompt: Dear player Lieyang, since you have completed the second phase of the 'Origin of the Qiang Clan' quest, you have demonstrated enough strength to cause a 'awe' effect on the Xiqiang rebels, and the messenger of Beigong Boyu, the leader of the Xiqiang rebels, will arrive within 1 game day to negotiate peace with you! Players are advised to be prepared. ”

And the next system prompt turned out to be not about the follow-up mission, Beigong Boyu, the leader of the Xiqiang rebels, was going to send someone to come to talk with Yang Rui!? This was something Yang Rui didn't expect, he originally thought that after the end of the second phase of the task, either the system would settle the task or issue a prompt for the next task, but he didn't expect that there would be a "peace talk".

Looking at the Xiqiang rebels outside Ledu City, they have set up camp since they retreated to the Fuhe River, and they have no intention of continuing to attack, they should be waiting for the arrival of the "peace talks" envoy sent by Beigong Boyu.

At this time, the number of Xiqiang rebels has dropped sharply from more than 2 million when they began to attack the city to less than 1 million! This can be seen from the number of "Task Verifications to Exterminate the Xiqiang Rebels" obtained by Yang Rui, in the more than an hour that Yang Rui used the "Wind Charm" and "Flood Charm", the number of mission verifications obtained by Yang Rui increased by nearly 20,000 again, and the total number of mission verifications reached more than 21,800!

This also shows that in the three hours that the Xiqiang rebels attacked Ledu City, Yang Rui eliminated a total of more than 1 million rebel soldiers! This amount is absolutely amazing, and it is also something that Yang Rui definitely did not expect before defending the city!

Yang Rui gained a lot of task verification, but Yang Rui failed to get many items such as skill books and equipment that the Xiqiang rebels later exploded, most of them were scattered in the area between Ledu City and Fuhe, and were cleaned up by the Xiqiang rebels when they retreated.

After the Xiqiang rebels retreated beyond the Fuhe, Yang Rui immediately resurrected 10,000 Rank 1 Yellow Turban soldiers in the City Lord's Mansion, and tried to send some of the explosive items to clean up the battlefield.

At the same time, Yang Rui also noticed that these Yellow Turban soldiers had completely belonged to themselves after the resurrection, and an obvious sign was that there was an extra "loyalty" attribute in the character information of these Yellow Turban soldiers, and the 10,000 Yellow Turban 1st Order soldiers who were transferred from the "Yellow Turban Transfer Order" before the resurrection did not have the "loyalty" attribute, which was also the only difference between them and other soldiers.

After the Yellow Turban soldiers left the east gate of Ledu City, they began to tentatively clean up the battlefield near the east city wall, and at the same time, Yang Rui also paid close attention to the movements of the Xiqiang rebels on the other side of the Fu River.

Yang Rui tried to send one or two thousand more Yellow Turban soldiers out, and the scope of the cleaning battlefield was slowly advancing outward from the city wall, but the Xiqiang rebels on the other side of the Fu River were unmoved! At this point, Yang Rui was relieved a lot, and began to gradually increase the number of Yellow Turban soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Until the end, Yang Rui relieved all 10,000 Yellow Turban soldiers to be sent out of the city gate. With the obstruction of the auxiliary river, even if the other party intends to interfere, it will take a lot of time to cross the river alone; Moreover, these first-order Yellow Turban soldiers still have a chance to resurrect, and even if they really lose something, Yang Rui can spend points to resurrect them again.

10,000 Yellow Turban soldiers were put into cleaning the battlefield, almost like a whirlwind and clouds, all the way to the bank of the Fu River, even though the area had been taken away by the Xiqiang rebels before, but at that time, the rebels retreated very quickly, almost only a few soldiers in the rear team took away a small number of items, and most of the items were left behind.

Therefore, the gains of the 10,000 Yellow Turban soldiers were extremely rich, and most of the soldiers turned back to the city two or three times to unload the items they had picked up, until the Yellow Turban soldiers had generally cleaned the area within the Fuhe River, and an hour had passed, during which the Xiqiang rebels did not make any unusual moves, and had been staying near the camp in place.

The items recovered by the Yellow Turban Soldiers are extremely rich, with all kinds of equipment, skill books, resources, and all kinds of scattered items. After some cleanup, the most valuable item is the skill book, a total of 5 basic primary internal skills, 6 stunt advanced skills, 22 internal skills, 26 stunt skills, 361 5-level warrior skill books, 289 5-level archer skill books (for the Qiang people), 484 4-order infantry skill books, and a large number of 2nd-order and 3rd-order skill books.

Especially the junior and intermediate martial arts skill books and the 5th-order first-order warrior skill books are very valuable, and a big purpose of Yang Rui's coming here is to rush to the 5th-order first-level warrior skill book!

Of course, in addition to skill books, there are also a large number of valuable items, of which the money alone is as much as more than 23,000 gold coins! Once again, Yang Rui appreciated the speed of war money. There are also a lot of various resources and materials, etc., which can be directly exchanged for real money, which naturally makes Yang Rui make a fortune.

After packing up the belongings in a general manner, when night fell, Yang Rui took Zhang Ning and all the junior generals except Li Dong after a little rest, and used the Daofeng Flying Carpet to leave Ledu City again from the surface of the Half Moon Lake on the west side.

The fact that the Xiqiang rebels are no longer acting does not mean that Yang Rui will also sit and wait for peace talks, although they have been besieged by the Xiqiang rebels at the door for most of the day, and everyone is already very tired, but Yang Rui still decided to go out of the city and wait for the opportunity to sneak attack the camp of the Xiqiang rebels, which can be regarded as a color!

Previously, although Yang Rui received a prompt from the system, he only mentioned that Beigong Boyu's envoy would come to the peace talks, and there was no provision that the two sides must cease fighting, and the unilateral withdrawal of the Xiqiang rebels and then there was no movement is probably the default setting of the system, but the system did not limit Yang Rui's counterattack.

"Help!"

"Hurry! It's on fire! ”

"Hurry up and put out the fire!"

“”

Yang Rui detoured to the rear of the camp of the Xiqiang rebels, found a suitable position to release Zhang Ning and a junior general, and after feeling the platoon for a while, he looked for an opportunity to use the "Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain" skill. (To be continued......)
