In order to make full use of Zhang Ning's skills, Yang Rui would only ask Zhang Ning to use the Tianling Fire Rain skill when encountering Qiang territory above the town level. Yang Rui used primary generals to solve ordinary encounters or village-level territory battles.

During this process, Yang Rui also realized the effects of Zhang Ning's other two auxiliary skills. "Calmness" can effectively improve the defense of primary generals and soldiers within the skill range, and the most significant thing is that it can increase the internal strength value of primary generals by 1 times, making their output basically double; while "sanitation" effectively enhances the combat endurance of generals and soldiers, and restores their health at all times. If you don't encounter a very intense battle, you basically don't have to worry about the health!

The only disadvantage is that Zhang Ning's two unique skills are continuation skills and cannot be used at the same time, which greatly limits its function! However, under the current circumstances, Yang Rui's challenge to defeat the Western Qiang rebels is not very big, but Zhang Ning's two skills can be used in rotation.

As for Zhang Ning's own Taoist consumption, there is basically no need to worry. With his special skills and Taoist attainments, it will basically be consumed in a short time. Yang Rui's primary internal strength level is now a few thousand points smaller than internal strength, reaching more than 3,200 points. By analogy, if he crosses the intermediate level and advanced level, and reaches special skills, I think Zhang Ning's Taoist points will have more than one million points!

After reaching this level, you basically no longer need to worry about the reserve of mental method cultivation. Unless you encounter an opponent of the same level, the two sides fight for hundreds of rounds, and the ultimate moves are constantly changing. Of course, you can consume the reserve of mental method cultivation if you experience continuous battles and cannot recover. At present, these two possibilities should not appear for the time being!

Yang Rui and others sang all the way and were invincible. After most of the day, Yang Rui captured 15 village-level territory of the Qiang people and 4 Qiang people's town-level territory or above. This is because the population of Xiliang is small and the territory is relatively sparse.

Many Qiang people conquered the army and robbed them. Of course, there were quite a few items such as equipment, skill books, etc., among which the number of second-level and third-level skill books exceeded 10,000, and the number of second-level skill books alone accounted for more than 9.5%. Yang Rui was considering whether to sell some low-level skill books. The number of low-level skill books in his hands has far exceeded the demand, and the price of skill books on the market is still not low.

When Dashan Town was upgrading its advanced town territory, Yang Rui once noticed that the price of 2-level skill books on the market is about 1 silver coin. However, 3-level skill books are more scarce, with the price being about 30 silver coin, and 4-level skill books are very scarce, all of which exceed 5 gold coins. For example, 4-level cavalry skill books have exceeded 10 gold coins, and the actual coins are more than 1,000 yuan.

Of course, Yang Rui is only a 2nd level and 3rd level skill books. The 4th level skill books are also cherished in Yang Rui's hands. Yang Rui did not obtain much from the beginning, and even fewer than the 5th level skill books! Yang Rui was considering whether to spend money to buy some, but it is not urgent to use it at the moment, so it has not been implemented yet.

Let’s talk about Yang Rui’s acquisition of many Qiang territories, and the gains of more than 100 gold coins by just robbery, mainly because almost all the Qiang territories were burned by Zhang Ning. Otherwise, this gain would have been much more.

As the evening approached ten days, Yang Rui and others occupied a high-end village as a temporary destination. At the same time, a Qiang city, Ledu small city, also appeared within the scope of Yang Rui's exploration, which just met the requirements of Yang Rui's Jinbo mission, and was kept by Yang Rui.

However, the terrain of this small town is very strange. It was built on a small half-moon lake. It is surrounded by the half-moon lake on almost three sides. Only one side is exposed but it is blocked by a strong city wall and gate. Therefore, it is very difficult to siege the city head-on.

However, this is not considered when Zhang Ning is the case. If Yang Rui takes strong attack measures, it will not be difficult to use the Tianling Fire Rain skill to forcibly break through the city. However, in that case, the architectural structure of Ledu City will inevitably be damaged a lot.

After the defensive building is damaged, once the subsequent task needs arise, a city that has lost its defense ability will be difficult to be of great use. Therefore, Yang Rui is more inclined to maintain the integrity of the city as much as possible in case of emergencies. He is not prepared to use Zhang Ning's skills unless it is absolutely necessary!

Early the next morning, Yang Rui and others had not taken any action yet, and a group of people had appeared around the high-end village they occupied. They quickly rushed towards the high-end village.

"System prompt: Since you chose to occupy the Qiang village - Nanwa for more than 6 hours, you are being attacked by the Western Qiang rebels for the first time. Please pay attention to defending the village!"

But it turned out that the counterattack of the Western Qiang rebels had arrived! Yang Rui, in his previous life, had no attempt to capture and occupy a territory of the Western Qiang rebels, so this was also the first time that Yang Rui faced the counterattack of the Western Qiang rebels.

However, the Qiang people only invested four or five hundred Western Qiang soldiers in the first round of counterattack, most of which were level 1 and level 2 soldiers, and their total military strength would not exceed 1,500. Yang Rui did not have much pressure on this and quickly dispersed the 20 primary generals and 800 fourth-level archers he led to near the four gates of the village, and let go of his hands and feet to fight.

How could the hundreds of Level 1 and Level 2 soldiers of the Western Qiang rebels be the opponents of these elite soldiers under Yang Rui? In less than a quarter of an hour, the Western Qiang rebel soldiers were wiped out, and dozens of soldiers who were trying to escape were also caught up by the junior generals under Yang Rui and were all killed on the spot.

"System prompt: Congratulations on defeating the Xiqiang rebels for the first round of counterattack. Every 3 hours from now on, the Xiqiang rebels in the surrounding territory will launch a counterattack against the village you occupied - Nanwa. After 3 hours, you will usher in the second round of counterattack of the Xiqiang rebels. Please be prepared for defense."

It was not until this time that Yang Rui understood the law of the Qiang rebels' counterattack. Since the second round of counterattack of the Western Qiang rebels was still early, Yang Rui could not wait here, so he took the initiative to give up this Qiang high-level village and launched the Xiliang rebels within hundreds of miles of the center of Ledu City.

At the same time, Yang Rui was also searching for a more suitable Western Qiang territory, which would be best to make the town and above level, and not too far from Ledu City! Yang Rui was preparing to try to attract the Western Qiang rebel forces in Ledu City.

Yang Rui was prompted by the system that the Western Qiang rebels involved in the counterattack were all soldiers from surrounding territories. Although such stronghold soldiers can be refreshed infinitely, refreshing also requires a process. If you can seize the time to take the time to take the time to take the Western Qiang soldiers in Ledu City and take them off before the rebel soldiers are refreshed, the difficulty of siege will naturally decrease a lot!

Of course, to achieve this goal, we must first have an accurate understanding of the refresh speed of the Western Qiang rebels, and at the same time we can have a rough understanding of the situation of the dispatched troops in Ledu City. In this way, we can calculate the time of emptiness in the city and give it a thunder blow!

When it was almost noon, Yang Rui finally successfully captured a small town about 100 miles from Ledu City. This town seemed to be a horse-raising place for the Qiang people. There were more than a hundred fourth-level Western Qiang cavalry moving around, but there were very few infantry defending in the town.

Theoretically, there are more than a hundred 4th-level cavalry, and the defense of the town here is much higher than that of other places. However, how could the 4th-level cavalry be the opponent of Yang Rui and other junior generals? After Yang Rui discovered this town, he quickly defeated the cavalry around him. He rushed into the town like a bamboo shoot, occupying the entire town, and did not destroy the town's defensive buildings during this period.

It is worth mentioning that during the process of occupying the town, in addition to obtaining more than 20 sets of 4th-level cavalry transfer skill books and equipment, he also captured more than 100 unowned horses in the town! It was definitely an unexpected surprise!

Previously, Yang Rui knew that there were many horses in Liangzhou. There were even some wild horses in the wilderness for players or NPCs to tame. This was also one of the important purposes of Yang Rui coming to Xiliang. He had signed a horse supply agreement with the CU Alliance, and the number of horses needed was quite large. However, Yang Rui did not expect that capturing the rebels of the Western Qiang can directly capture the ownerless horses, which also provided a new way for Yang Rui's horse sources.

After occupying this small town called "Mapo", Yang Rui sent out all 42 5th-level thief leaders whom he brought to investigate the strength of the surrounding Western Qiang rebels and prepared to observe the rules of participating in the counterattack of the Qiang troops. Among them, Yang Rui sent the most thief leaders in the direction of Ledu City.

The 42 5th-level thief leaders sent were all assigned horses by Yang Rui to timely grasp the distribution and movements of the surrounding Western Qiang rebels. Soon the situation of the Western Qiang rebels within 50 miles was found out and reported back by the thief leaders. Yang Rui took advantage of the five or six hours of the first round of counterattack of the Western Qiang rebels to give priority to the two town-level Qiang territories and 10 village-level Qiang territories that exist within 50 miles were quickly flattened!

The harvest of knocking out these Qiang territories is second-most importantly, Yang Rui can reduce some exploration targets and create conditions for better finding out the laws of refreshing and counterattacking the Western Qiang rebels.

Sure enough, 6 hours later, although it was midnight, the Western Qiang soldiers who participated in the first round of counterattack appeared. However, shortly after the rebels appeared, they were captured by the fifth-level thief leader sent by Yang Rui! This group of low-level Western Qiang rebels of four or five hundred people came from the five nearest village-level territories in Mapo Town. After each set out, they met 10 miles west of Mapo Town. Then they rushed towards Mapo Town.

These counterattack soldiers were targeted by the thief leaders one after another since their respective villages. It was nighttime, and it happened to be the home time of the 5th-level thief leaders. Even if their sense of smell is not as good as the NMD of the Americans in reality, it will not be much inferior!

After every three hours of counterattack, the Western Qiang rebels' dispatch rules failed to escape the eyes of the thieves. In many cases, the rebels often only reached halfway, and Yang Rui had already obtained detailed information. Three or four times Yang Rui tried to take a group of junior generals to ride horses to intercept the rebels halfway, not giving them the chance to counterattack to the door!

As the number of counterattacks of the Western Qiang rebels increased, the military force sent by them increased by almost 40% each time. It is no wonder that the best results of the Three Kingdoms Civilization Zone in the previous life were only defended for 17 rounds. According to the current rules, 17 rounds of defense were equivalent to an increase of more than 200 times of military force, which was enough to make the iron-blooded and proud of creating this record!

"System prompt: Congratulations on repelling the Xiqiang rebels' counterattack for five consecutive rounds, making outstanding contributions to the Han Dynasty's defense and expansion of territory. Special rewards to players Lieyang 200 gold coins to encourage them..."

......

"System prompt: Congratulations on defeating the Western Qiang rebels for the 11th round of counterattack. In the next three hours, the Western Qiang rebels in the surrounding territory will launch the 12th counterattack against the town territory you occupied - Mapo. Please be prepared for defense."
Chapter completed!
