Chapter 1038: Accidental Diligence
The transfer of materials and troops became difficult. Yang Rui originally wanted to directly use the personnel in the Sky City, but because the replenishment of troops could only be placed in Linzi City, the initial registration location, which could not be achieved for the time being.
In just one game day, it is unrealistic to transfer troops from Dashan City to Linzi City. Yang Rui could only temporarily mobilize some troops and supplies from Linzi City.
Even the time when Yang Rui returned to Linzi City from Dashan City was a bit rush. The section from Dashan City to Juping County needed to use a horse-drawn carriage if he lost his flying props, and the other sections of the road could use a teleportation array.
Yang Rui returned to Linzi City and temporarily drew 100,000 troops from Linzi City to participate in the following plot, including 10,000 rank 5 light cavalry, 50,000 heavy halberd soldiers, 20,000 5th-level archers, 10,000 6th-level archers, and 20,000 infantry of all kinds of 5th-level or above.
Fortunately, Linzi City is where Yang Rui has always used it as an administrative center. Otherwise, it would be impossible to draw so many troops at once. Even so, Yang Rui also drew out almost most of the main combat power in Linzi City.
Fortunately, he is currently in the period of the six states' imprisonment, and Linzi City and its surrounding areas were the areas controlled by Yang Rui at the earliest, so there is almost no possibility of internal troubles. After Yang Rui drew up his troops, he handed over the replenishment of troops to Sun Qian.
The main base for the training of Yang Rui's soldiers is still on the Penglai Realm map. Although they belong to the Qingzhou area, the Penglai Realm is also quite far from Linzi City. It is estimated that all Sun Qian can do is to balance the existing troops around.
The next issue of the Penglai Realm Map training will not be as convenient as before. Yang Rui thought of this when he was drawing troops. For the time being, he could only consider solving the problem of the source of troops and the transfer of soldiers after training.
As for materials, whether it is Linzi City or other major cities, they all have the strategic reserves for Yang Rui to participate in the regional plot, and easily provided Yang Rui with 200,000 troops to consume rations for a month, totaling more than 20 million kilograms.
In the real world, 20 million kilograms of grain totaled more than 10,000 tons, which is enough for several small grain warehouses to fill. However, for Linzi City, it is not too much, so a few grain warehouses were just vacant.
Fortunately, the supplies and other materials included in the registration are transported through the plot transmission. Otherwise, only this part of the food would be unavailable to Yang Rui. Even if it could be transported, by the time he was moved to Tongguan, the plot would probably have ended long ago.
Through the plot window, Yang Rui was greatly supplemented in terms of military strength and supplies. After Yang Rui returned, Tongguan really became a real iron pass at this time.
Before Yang Rui returned to Tongguan, he temporarily removed four first-class historical celebrities/historical generals from various places, and was also very good at general strength.
Although it is difficult to dispatch the soldiers of ordinary troops, they can be transmitted through the teleportation array when only a few generals are found, and they are no longer subject to the size and quantity restrictions like ordinary soldiers.
A game-day plot window has passed, and Yang Rui's power to participate in regional series has undergone great changes, which is more convenient to use his skills than before.
Because Li Jue, Guo Si and Zhang Ji had gathered in the area near Chang'an City at this time, Yang Rui focused his defense on the west side of Tongguan, and did not know all the newly added long-range forces such as archers and other long-range forces on the west side of Tongguan.
At the same time, Yang Rui also sent a survey ship to focus on investigating the situation in the direction of the Jingshui River and Weishui River in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and sent light cavalry to explore the horses, focusing on investigating the situation in the area near the west side of Tongguan. He was mainly responsible for early warning of Li Jue, Guo Si and Zhang Ji's troops.
While strengthening the defense on the west side of Tongguan, Yang Rui also took advantage of the opportunity when Zhang Ji's main troops left and let go of the attack in Hongnong County on the east side of Tongguan, and included most of the nearby Ruicheng and Lingbao counties within the attack range.
Although Yang Rui's supply of soldiers and horses involved in the plot was quite abundant, he only had more than 200,000 soldiers. Yang Rui did not intend to mess with the large number of soldiers and horses in Xiliang.
Moreover, with the dangerous lock in Tongguan, it is also a must-pass place for Liu Xie to return to the east next. Of course, Yang Rui mainly defends at the lowest cost and insists on Tongguan to participate in the plot point.
Three or four game days have passed, and Yang Rui has already controlled the two counties east of Tongguan, including Ruicheng and Lingbao, as well as most areas within the county.
Originally, Yang Rui's main purpose was to plunder and earn plot points, but there were very few Zhang Ji defenders everywhere, and most of them fled, so he inadvertently controlled a huge area.
After that, Yang Rui did not continue to expand the results of the battle. After plundering the treasury of Ruicheng and Lingbao counties, Yang Rui reduced his troops and waited for the further development of the plot.
During this period, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Tai Shi Ci, Guan Hai and others commanded the troops, either defending or attacking, and Yang Rui was not idle either.
However, except for the occasional appearance, Yang Rui has been stepping up his practice of Tenglong's internal skills and mental methods for most of the rest of the time.
It is not clear what reason, but recently Yang Rui could clearly feel that the progress of his Tenglong internal skill mental method* soul has suddenly increased a lot, and it is even faster than the previous level in terms of progress.
You should know that as the level increases, the difficulty of improving the exercises increases several times. Not to mention the progress beyond the previous level, it is better not to reduce the speed too much.
Yang Rui's situation is very special at this moment. Although his condition is a bit unstable, at the best time, Yang Rui can reach four or five times the progress of the previous level, and at the worst time, he can easily surpass the previous level.
This situation is very puzzling, but Yang Rui dared not waste any opportunity. Even during the series, Yang Rui spent most of his time practicing martial arts.
Of course, this is also an important reason why Yang Rui insisted on defending Tongguan.
"Report! A large number of soldiers and horses were found within the Zheng County area, holding up the banner of Zhang's name. It was initially confirmed that it should be Zhang Ji's troops before..."
Three or four more game days passed. From noon to this day, a light cavalryman returned to Tongguan, bringing news that he discovered Zhang Ji's troops in Zheng County.
"After sending orders, all the survey ships and horses will strengthen their exploration efforts and further determine the identity of the army in Zheng County."
After hearing the news of the horse recruiting, Yang Rui ordered.
Yang Rui knew very well that the troops that appeared in Zheng County were probably Liu Xie and others who were escorted to the Xiadong East.
