Chapter 234: Zhang Jiaoxian
PS: Thank you Haoji, Apu.!
Although Yang Rui needed a few days to recover, starting from the second day, Yang Rui still sent Li Dong and the remaining 30 junior generals to the south to target the Yellow Turban of Zhang Bao's headquarters, while Yang Rui only left 3 junior generals and all the foot soldiers by his side.
Zhang Baobu was actually only two hours away from the village occupied by Yang Rui, and Zhang Bao and the others had been traveling north, Li Dong and the others quickly found the target after just over an hour, and once again attracted three Yellow Turban generals, dozens of 5th-order Yellow Turban cavalry, and more than 300 5th-order Yellow Turban soldiers who had used the "Horse Walking Talisman"!
According to Yang Rui's explanation early on, Li Dong did not go head-on with these pursuers, but directly brought these pursuers to Yang Rui's village. There is no clear way for the junior generals to resurrect for the time being, and once there are casualties, it will be a big loss, so Yang Ruicai told Li Dong and others to do what they can, and if they are not sure of a complete victory, they must avoid the battle!
The Yellow Turban pursuers were taken to the village occupied by Yang Rui, and the Rank 5 thief leader who was patrolling outside had already reported back, and Yang Rui was able to make arrangements in advance! When the Yellow Turban pursuers arrived, they were first attacked by the archers arranged by Yang Rui, and there were many casualties!
With the cooperation of the 4th level archers and the 4th level cavalry, the remaining Yellow Turban pursuers did not make much waves, and they were quickly wiped out!
It's just that one of the 3 Yellow Turban generals who chased after him was an intermediate general, because Yang Rui was injured and couldn't participate, a group of junior generals under his command fought around this Yellow Turban intermediate general for a while before putting him to the ground, and several of them also suffered some minor injuries! But it doesn't affect the combat power much!
This group of Yellow Turban chasers has a total of 1 primary internal strength mental method skill book, 1 stunt advanced skill book, 2 basic internal strength mental method skill books, 2 stunt skill books, nearly 20 fifth-order cavalry "charge" skill books, more than 100 fifth-order Yellow Turban wrestler advanced skill books, more than 50 riding skill books and related weapons and equipment.
After packing up, Li Dong once again took 30 junior generals and headed south. Among them, 3 junior generals who were slightly injured were replaced by Yang Rui. Left in the village.
Due to the distance with Zhang Bao's subordinates, it was shortened again. It only took more than 1 hour for Li Dong to go, and he brought back a group of chasing soldiers, who were easily cleaned up by Yang Rui's troops as usual. Only this time the number of chasing soldiers was slightly reduced, of which there were only more than 40 fifth-order Yellow Turban cavalry, and the number of fifth-order Yellow Turban wrestlers was less than 300; In addition, there is one more Yellow Turban general in the chasing army, but it is only a junior general!
After so many times, Zhang Bao's subordinates have been eating hatred, and every time they are tempted, they have been chasing after them. It was only after chasing Yang Rui to the village occupied by Yang Rui that it was a matter of fact, but it provided conditions for Yang Rui to trap and kill the Yellow Turban!
Until it was getting late, Li Dong and the others had gone back and forth seven times, booby-trapping more than 200 fifth-order Yellow Turban cavalry, 23 Yellow Turban generals, and more than 1,800 fifth-order Yellow Turban wrestlers! Yang Rui received a total of more than 60,000 merit points and points; The number of skill books and equipment that has been dropped has been growing!
From several booby-traps, Yang Rui also found some patterns, the number of 5th-order Yellow Turban cavalry in Zhang Baobu's Yellow Turban to chase Li Dong is constantly decreasing, and at the same time, the number of 5th-order Yellow Turban wrestlers is also decreasing! Until the last time Li Dong booby-trapped the Yellow Turbans before dark, the number of fifth-order Yellow Turban cavalry he was chasing had been reduced to only about 10, and the fifth-order Yellow Turban wrestlers were only forty or fifty!
The change in the number of chasing soldiers made Yang Rui see some clues. It is likely that the number of cavalry and "horse walking charms" left in Zhang Bao's troops is not much!
Sure enough, as Yang Rui expected, the next day when Li Dong and others continued to harass and trap Zhang Baobu's yellow scarf. The number of Yellow Turban soldiers who can chase them out has become smaller and smaller, and even later, only three or four Yellow Turban generals can catch up with each time! Li Dong and the others no longer need to return to the village occupied by Yang Rui, and they can independently eliminate these Yellow Turban chasers!
At this time, Yang Rui and the others had fallen behind Zhang Bao's troops, and after the march the day before, Zhang Bao's troops had already surpassed the original village where Yang Rui was located, and continued to go north! And Yang Rui chose to hang behind the yellow scarf, waiting for an opportunity to attack and harass.
I don't know what the reason is, the speed of Zhang Bao's troops has not been able to improve, the time required for the normal march from Guangzong City to Quyang City is only four or five days, and now a full 10 days have passed, Zhang Bao and the others have only walked about half of the distance! I have to say very strange!
Since the threat of the Yellow Turban Cavalry and the Yellow Turban Warriors has been basically eliminated, Li Dong and others have also investigated Zhang Bao's troops at close range several times, and there are not many materials in his team that may affect the speed of the march, nor are there any troops that are too slow to move, so it is impossible to say what affected Zhang Bao's marching speed for a while!
Zhang Bao's slow marching speed is naturally beneficial to Yang Rui, who can attack and kill some more Yellow Turban soldiers along the way, and it is estimated that by the time the final link task is settled, Yang Rui will obtain more plot task verification!
Since Zhang Baobu had basically lost its mobility, Yang Rui simply sent 1,500 fourth-order cavalry to Li Dong, under the command of him and the remaining 30 junior generals, and constantly attacked Zhang Baobu's Yellow Turban, which made his already unfast speed decrease a lot!
"System announcement: In the regional plot [Battle of Guangzong], Zuo Zhonglang will be the Huangfu Song Division, the Cavalry Captain Cao Cao Division, the Julu Taishou Feng Yi, and the Righteous Army Liu Bei Department will break Guangzong City, and the Rengong General Zhang Liang will lead the remnants of the Yellow Turban to the north! Guangzong City was restored for the Han Dynasty Array"
Just when Yang Rui was using the mobility of his subordinates to follow and entangle Zhang Bao, a system announcement suddenly came, and Guangzong City was broken! And Zhang Liang, the general of Rengong, did not die in Guangzong City, but led the remnants of the Yellow Turban to the north as well!
Although Zhang Liang only cited the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, Yang Rui guessed that their number would definitely not be less, and there were more than a million Yellow Turban soldiers in the entire Guangzong City, even if it was only the remnants, its strength should not be underestimated! The most important thing is that the system announcement did not mention the matter of the big boss Zhang Jiao, if he died in battle, there should have been a system announcement a long time ago, so it is likely to be in Zhang Liang's army!
In fact, what Yang Rui didn't know was that just after the previous system announcement, most players received a prompt for the link task! The link task of the decisive battle of Guangzong has ended, and while the system is settled, players have also generally received the new link task of "chasing and killing the remnants of the Yellow Turban"! is not as Yang Rui is worried about, he has to face Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang at the same time.
Not long after the system announcement, Zhang Bao's troops actually moved, and Zhang Bao's troops, who originally had more than 20,000 yellow turbans, were divided into about two-thirds of the soldiers and went south again, and the remaining number of yellow turban soldiers was only seven or eight thousand! This made Yang Rui very puzzled, I don't know what Zhang Bao's plan is?!
Zhang Bao came out of Guangzong City early, and it was very suspicious to act alone from his two brothers, and it was obviously too late to turn back to help at this time, so Yang Rui would be puzzled about the purpose of his division of troops to go south!
However, Zhang Bao's division of troops to return to help gave Yang Rui more opportunities, and at this time, the number of yellow turbans left in Zhang Bao's department was only about twice the number of Yang Rui's soldiers! Yang Rui immediately increased the intensity of harassment and attack, intending to quickly reduce the number of these yellow scarves, and even eat them completely in the end!
However, to Yang Rui's surprise, since Zhang Bao's troops were divided, no matter how Yang Rui sent people to harass him, the other party just stuck in place, but he no longer ate hatred and was seduced, he should have been constrained by a mandatory order!
In this way, it is no longer possible to trap and kill the Yellow Turban soldiers like before! Yang Rui had no choice but to use the night time to dispatch Li Dong and the Rank 5 thief leader to attack and kill some of the Yellow Turban soldiers on the outskirts of his camp; The second is to use the archers to ambush in the hidden places where the Yellow Turbans must pass, and sneak attack some of the Yellow Turban soldiers! Overall, the efficiency of killing enemies has decreased a lot, and the number of yellow turbans killed every day has dropped by almost seventy or eighty percent!
However, because the Yellow Turban stopped and held on to the spot every time it was attacked, Yang Rui had already divided the cavalry in his hand into several units, and each part was commanded by two or three junior generals, who were constantly sent to harass Zhang Bao's Yellow Turban, so that his marching speed was even slower, and he often couldn't walk much distance in a day!
After another two days like this, Zhang Bao was a little anxious, and after passing by a river beach, he took the initiative to stop, and lined up as if he was going to fight to the death with Yang Rui and the others!
At a time when the Three Kingdoms Civilization Zone was in a drought disaster, although this river beach was very wide, it was already close to drying up, and Zhang Bao's troops lined up here and there was no danger to rely on, I don't know what the intention was, Yang Rui was suspicious in his heart!
Before Yang Rui could react to what was going on, a Taoist slowly walked out of Zhang Baojun's formation, this person was thin and tall, with a clear face, staring eyes, and a wide Taoist robe waving in the wind, with his own fairy wind and bones!
I saw that this person was holding a slender wooden sword in one hand, and slowly punched out a talisman seal with the other hand, and after the talisman reached a few zhang in front of the Taoist priest, this person took the slender wooden sword and pointed at it, and a huge water ball immediately appeared in the air, and then all of it was spread into the riverbed at once! The originally dry river immediately flooded, surging towards Yang Rui and others on the other side of the river!
There are such gods among Zhang Bao's subordinates! Yang Rui couldn't help but be surprised!
In fact, if Yang Rui had participated in Dong Zhuo's siege of Guangzong City at that time, he would definitely have been able to recognize the identity of this Taoist priest! This person is the leader of the Yellow Turban who used water and fire divine power respectively at that time and defeated Dong Zhuo twice - Zhang Jiao!
At this time, Zhang Jiao cast the spell again, and the originally dry river was already a huge wave surging, although it failed to cause substantial damage to Yang Rui and the others, but a big river was already in front of Yang Rui, blocking him from Zhang Bao's troops on the other bank!
