Chapter 232: Encircling and Suppressing the Yellow Turban Cavalry

PS: Thanks Apo.!

Since it was daytime, it was not convenient for Yang Rui and the others to get very close to this Yellow Turban tribe, so they could only hide in a low forest a few miles away to investigate from afar, but this did not affect Yang Rui to find out the general situation of the other party!

As far as the eye can see, all of them are Yellow Turban Cavalry, with a scale of about 2,000 horsemen! Looking at the battle, the rank of the opponent's cavalry is only higher than that of the 4th-order cavalry under Yang Rui, and it should be at least a 5th-order cunzài! It is this more than 2,000 Yellow Turban cavalry that holds high a banner with the word "Zhang"!

However, the Yellow Turban cavalry, though majestic, moved slowly, as if waiting for someone behind. Yang Rui guessed that this Yellow Turban cavalry was probably just the vanguard of Zhang Bao's troops!

Sure enough, after arriving at a nearby village, the Yellow Turban Cavalry simply stopped and stayed, and sent dozens of horsemen to go in the direction of the road they came, probably to contact the rear troops! And this village is only about 10 miles away from the high-level village occupied by Yang Rui!

Yang Rui was puzzled by the situation of the people behind the Yellow Turban, and at the same time, the village where the soldiers were placed was also a little too close to the Yellow Turban, and once there was some trouble, it was likely to be exposed. So Yang Rui left the dwarf forest and returned to the village where the soldiers were stationed, and placed more than 30 junior generals, all the foot soldiers and 1,500 cavalry to a farther village, and then made a detour to the south! The only people he carried with him were Li Dong and 38 Rank 5 Bandit Leaders.

This detour is more than 100 miles away, and Yang Rui and the others have never approached within 10 miles of the official road, nor have they been too far away. At the same time, he and Li Dong divided the personnel into two groups, and marched along both sides of the official road to avoid missing the target!

An hour later. Yang Rui finally discovered the whereabouts of the Yellow Turban in the southeast direction of Pingthorn! Sure enough, as Yang Rui guessed, the more than 2,000 cavalry in front were just a vanguard, and the main body of the Yellow Turban was still slowly moving in the southeast of Pingjian! At first glance, I saw that the yellow scarves stretched endlessly, and the flags covered the sun, not to mention that there were more than 20,000 soldiers in this yellow turban!

Previously, when Yang Rui discovered the scale of the cavalry in front, he already had a premonition, and he could use more than 2,000 horsemen as the vanguard, and the main body of this yellow turban would have to be tens of thousands! I saw it now. Its scale is still above Yang Rui's estimate, which can't help but make Yang Rui a little weak!

And looking at the equipment characteristics of each person in this Yellow Turban, it is not an ordinary low-level Yellow Turban soldier! After Yang Rui sneaked closer, he had already found a lot of fifth-order Yellow Turban wrestlers. The strength of the rest of the troops mixed in it is not much worse, plus there are more than 2,000 fifth-order cavalry in front, Yang Rui is the most elite troops who have encountered the Yellow Turban!

Yang Rui was even a little skeptical that this was Zhang Bao's subordinates! Zhang Bao left Guangzong City and took so many elite soldiers with him. How to maintain the already nervous Guangzong Yellow Turban?!

"Who?!"

After all, Yang Rui didn't have the skill to hide his traces. When he was about 500 meters close to the Yellow Turbans, he was discovered by the other party! There are also a lot of fifth-order cavalry around the Yellow Turban Formation, and Yang Rui was discovered by these cavalry!

The figure had been exposed, and in the face of the strong strength of the Yellow Turban, Yang Rui did not dare to stay for a long time, and immediately put the 5th-order thief leader beside him into the ring, and galloped away.

With Yang Rui's current strength as an intermediate general, even if he runs on foot, his speed in a short period of time is comparable to riding an ordinary horse. And after running for a distance, they had found the horses they had placed before, although the Yellow Turban Cavalry was fast. It's not easy to catch up with Yang Rui!

However, the Yellow Turban cavalry didn't want to let Yang Rui go, and soon after discovering Yang Rui, they concentrated forty or fifty horsemen, and kept chasing after Yang Rui, looking like they would not give up if they didn't chase Yang Rui!

The Yellow Turban Cavalry was followed by hundreds of Yellow Turban wrestlers and other troops, although they were all foot soldiers, their speed was not much slower than that of the cavalry, which was very weird! As a result, once the Yellow Turban cavalry in front entangled Yang Rui and delayed for a moment or two, hundreds of Yellow Turban infantry soldiers in the back would follow closely, and ordinary people would not get any benefits!

Yang Rui measured the strength of these Yellow Turban chasers as he retreated. The 5th order non-commissioned soldier has mastered the fighting skills and auxiliary skills, taking the cavalry as an example, the fighting skills mastered at the 4th level are mostly "cavalry combat", and the auxiliary skills mastered at the 5th level are basically "charge" skills, which already have a lot of power! Coupled with the Yellow Turban Lux and other foot soldiers, the power of its 4th and 5th level skills should not be underestimated!

Speculating on the strength of these soldiers, Yang Rui is actually compared with his own soldiers, if he really encounters it, he will have a countermeasure! When Yang Rui found out the true strength of this yellow scarf, he already felt that it was impossible to "intercept and kill", at most, it was just harassing and attacking behind other people's butts!

Even so, Yang Rui also attaches great importance to understanding the strength of the opponent's soldiers, and the Yellow Turban pursuers behind Yang Rui are more cooperative with him, and have been holding on to Yang Rui's death, Yang Rui is interested in leading him to the vicinity of his village, so that the soldiers of both sides can face each other head-on, so as to understand the strength of these Yellow Turban soldiers!

The two sides chased me and escaped, but in less than half an hour, Yang Rui really achieved his goal! After Yang Rui arrived at the village where his subordinates were stationed, he did not close the four gates for defense, but directly pulled out 1,500 fourth-order cavalry, arranged long-range archers behind him, and confronted the Yellow Turban pursuers behind Yang Rui!

Of course, intending to test the strength of the opponent's soldiers did not mean that Yang Rui would let his men lose their troops, and Yang Rui had put all 33 junior generals at the forefront of the formation early in the morning to protect the cavalry behind them. In fact, it was more than enough for these junior generals to intercept and kill the Yellow Turban pursuers, and there was almost no pressure on the 4th-order cavalry and 4th-order archers behind!

"Kill!"

Before the Yellow Turban pursuers could gain a firm foothold, Yang Rui's soldiers had already launched a bang, and they were slaughtering their opponents one after another under the leadership of the junior generals in front

The number of Yellow Turban pursuers was already small, with a total of more than 300 people on foot and cavalry, and they responded in a hurry, and under the lead attack of a group of junior generals under Yang Rui, the results were already very self-evident! Only some of Yang Rui's soldiers suffered some minor injuries, and hundreds of Yellow Turban pursuers were quickly cleaned up.

"System prompt: Congratulations on your success Zhang Bao's 50 Yellow Turban soldiers. Obtain 1 copy of the Story Quest Verification! Accumulate to exchange for special items for story missions"

Several successive system prompts, killing these Yellow Turban chasers Yang Rui has obtained six or seven plot mission verifications, which also makes Yang Rui determine that the Yellow Turban army discovered before is Zhang Bao's subordinates.

It is worth mentioning. Yang Rui found that the long-range archers did have a certain restraint on the cavalry, and before Yang Rui's junior generals were close to the front, many of the Yellow Turban cavalry had already fallen in the rain of arrows shot by the archers in the rear!

Dozens of Rank 5 Yellow Turban Cavalry contributed a total of more than 10 Tier 5 skill books to Yang Rui, as well as dozens of riding skill books.

"Charge: Cavalry Sergeant 5th Tier Advanced Skill Book, 5th Tier Support Skill Skill Book, you can upgrade Tier 4 cavalry to Tier 5 cavalry! Prerequisites: Reach 100% of Tier 4 skills! ”

"The Art of Riding: The Book of Basic Skills. It can enable learners to master the art of riding. Level Limit: 30! ”

At the same time, Yang Rui also figured out why several types of foot soldiers such as the Yellow Turban Lux could catch up with the pace of the cavalry, but it turned out to be the role of the Yellow Turban Talisman!

"Horse Talisman: Taiping Dao Spell Talisman. Boost grants the target Cavalry Speed for 2 hours! Limit: 1/2. ”

I have to say that the Taiping Dao technique still has a lot of magical effects, just like gadgets like "horse walking charms". Critical moments can often make a difference!

In addition, nearly 300 Rank 5 Yellow Turban wrestlers have also exploded about 100 corresponding Tier 5 skill books, but the object of promotion must be a Tier 4 Yellow Turban soldier! This is the first time Yang Rui has encountered this situation, perhaps because the Yellow Turban Lux is a special class!

"The Secret of Lux Warriors: Yellow Turban Lux 5th Tier Advanced Skill Book. Tier 5 Auxiliary Skill Book. You can upgrade a Tier 4 Yellow Turban Soldier to a Tier 5 Yellow Turban Warrior! Requirements: Restrict the use of Tier 4 Yellow Turban Pawns, and reach 100% of Tier 4 skills! ”

After a small battle with the Yellow Turban pursuers, it was already evening, and Yang Rui simply asked his subordinates to rest first. At this time, Li Dong also rushed back with the remaining 5th-order thief leaders, before Yang Rui and his respective responsible officials were in charge of the investigation, Yang Rui was chased urgently after being discovered by the Yellow Turban, so he didn't have time to bring Li Dong and the others!

After the night is getting dark. Yang Rui also placed a group of soldiers in the village, and only Li Dong and a group of thieves leaders followed. Taking advantage of the dark moon and high wind, he touched the forward cavalry of the Yellow Turbans, and this part of the Yellow Turban cavalry had set up camp nearby for the purpose of waiting for the rear of the Yellow Turbans.

Yang Rui is still more interested in the 5th level cavalry skill book! Cavalry can't be upgraded through the rebel camp's barracks, so each rank must be completed by using a skill book! It can be said that the cavalry skill book is one of the most scarce skill books of all forces at present, and it is even more practical than some special class skill books! Next is the skill book for ranged archers!

However, the cavalry vanguard of Zhang Bao's department was extremely cautious, and the cavalry on guard patrols were arranged around the camp, and each group of patrol Yellow Turban soldiers was no less than 50 horsemen, and the gaps between them were also very close, almost affecting the whole body, and even each group of patrol cavalry was led by a general!

In this way, it will be very difficult to attack the sneak attack! After Yang Rui tried to start, he attracted several teams of Yellow Turban cavalry to be alert, and then the rest of the patrol cavalry came over, among which there were three or four generals, which made Yang Rui very passive! Fortunately, at night, the cavalry did not move fast, and Yang Rui was able to get rid of the Yellow Turban pursuers

But this also gave Yang Rui inspiration! Next, Yang Rui searched for and took a town occupied by the Yellow Turbans overnight nearby, arranged his subordinates, and found the camp of the Yellow Turban Cavalry again!

The Yellow Turban cavalry also discovered Yang Rui's traces again, and dispatched hundreds of horsemen to chase down, under Yang Rui's intentional attraction, these Yellow Turban cavalry chased all the way to the town where Yang Rui arranged his soldiers, and almost rushed into the gate of the town with Yang Rui's front and back feet!

It wasn't until after the gate was closed that these Yellow Turban 5th Order cavalrymen who were chasing them found out that they had fallen into Yang Rui's trap! At this time, many fourth-order archers who were ambushed on the primary wall of the town appeared one after another, and the messy arrow rain had already pounced (to be continued......
