Seeing the fire in the east, many Western Qiang rebels were helpless. According to Zhang Ning, although the Tianling Fire Rain still belongs to the category of ordinary fire, its power cannot be underestimated. If you reach out, you will be a sea of ​​fire in the range of 200*200m2. If the wind power helps to ignite one or two, it will definitely be difficult to control after the fire spreads.

What's more, the Liangzhou area is already dry and low in water. Even if there is Banyue Lake nearby, it is too late for the rebels in the West Wall to draw water to put out the fire! Therefore, although the Western Qiang rebels were alert, they could only sigh in the face of the sea of ​​fire that had become a sea of ​​fire. Many Western Qiang soldiers were sighing secretly, but fortunately, they were only burning wooden rafts, poplar trees, etc., and the camp they were stationed at was not stalled!

At this time, Yang Rui had already left the scene. Taking advantage of the momentum of the fire, Yang Rui spent some time to re-enter Zhang Ning into the ring, and still used the Daofeng Fei Carpet to detour back to the agreed place with the thief leader.

About a quarter of an hour later, all the thieves' leaders gathered one after another, and were put into the ring by Yang Rui, and flew over to the Banyue Lake and returned to Ledu City. Until this time, the fire was still raging on the east side of the city, and it was very stunning!

When Yang Rui and Zhang Ning rushed to set fire, they found that there were quite a few wooden rafts made by the Western Qiang rebels, which had accumulated a total of hundreds of meters in radius, and the accumulated height was more than one person!

The remaining poplar wood is also piled up like a hill. If it weren't for the speed of storage and withdrawal of the ring, it would have been a considerable asset to take away these wood directly!

There was enough fuel, so the fire in the east of Ledu City continued until midnight before it gradually extinguished. At this time, in order to avoid the remaining power of the fire, the Western Qiang rebels had voluntarily retreated for dozens of miles. Before and after the fire burned, another round of counterattacks gathered, and the number of Western Qiang rebels increased by nearly 300,000 again!

Shortly after the arrival of the Western Qiang rebels in the 22nd round of counterattack, the sky was getting brighter, but the influence of the night fire had not yet been eliminated, and the Western Qiang rebels did not take any measures for a while. It was not until the Western Qiang rebels in the 23rd round of counterattack that the rebels became busy again.

These Western Qiang rebels actually collected a lot of wood one after another. At this time, the number of rebels outside Ledu City had exceeded 1 million. With a large number of manpower, the ability to collect materials was naturally not low. The amount of wood that had not much time to retrieve was already considerable.

However, at this time, the rebels of the Western Qiang were no longer allowed to make wooden rafts. It was only a few hours before Yang Rui completed the city defense mission! Finally, when the Western Qiang rebels who were counterattacking in the 24th round arrived, the rebel soldiers directly held wooden sticks of different colors and started crossing the river and attacking!

Although the rebels' actions were a bit funny, it was normal to reason. The Fu River outside Ledu City blocked the Western Qiang rebels' way, and the other party had to force cross the river to attack the city.

However, for the Qiang people in the northwest, it is still very difficult to cross the river with a piece of wood. Yang Rui could see clearly on the city wall that many Western Qiang rebel soldiers had been exposed to some interference from their companions and accidentally spread the wood. Moreover, there are quite a few cases. There are still many soldiers in the auxiliary river who have lost their support and struggled hard everywhere on the river surface.

Seeing this scene, Yang Rui immediately took almost all his military forces out of the East City Gate and set up a formation along the Fu River, preparing to block the Western Qiang rebels first.

When digging the Fu River, Yang Rui made arrangements to accumulate all the digging soil and rocks on the inside of the Fu River. A long mound similar to a dam was formed. At this time, Yang Rui sent 20 junior generals, 600 4th-level melee soldiers, and more than 1,600 4th-level and 5th-level archers evenly to the height of the mound, waiting for the Xiqiang rebels who crossed the river to enter the attack range!

There are certain risks in doing this. If the Western Qiang rebels charge quickly, it will be difficult for Yang Rui and other subordinates to have a chance to retreat! Moreover, Yang Rui's soldiers seem to be quite large, and they will be very sparse after they are scattered onto the long mound. One soldier can be distributed about a few meters away. You can only use the terrain to slightly block the Qiang soldiers in the early stage. It is impossible to keep a solid defense on this line!

Yang Rui dared to place all these elite soldiers in front, which was also because of the 10,000 Yellow Turban 1st-level soldiers who were transferred from the "Yellow Turban Transfer Order"! These tens of thousands of low-level soldiers of Yellow Turban were originally to be resurrected in battle, and only after they were resurrected in battle could Yang Rui truly own their ownership, so they were real cannon fodder, and they would lose money if they didn't die!

At this time, tens of 1st-level yellow turbans were all placed next to the elite soldiers in front. A "safety passage" was retained in the middle of each small group of yellow turban soldiers to ensure that the elite soldiers in front could evacuate safely in an emergency. Once the elite soldiers were in need of evacuation, it was time for the Yellow Turban soldiers to start to play their role and it was time to block the eyes!

The auxiliary river, which is fifty or sixty meters wide, is much narrower than most moats, but it is wide enough for the completely waterless Western Qiang rebels. After a lot of tossing, the first group of these Xiqiang rebels crossing the river was barely reaching the opposite side of the river!

However, as soon as they emerged, most of them were immediately destined to be locked by a feather arrow! The archers and soldiers under Yang Rui were at the lowest level 4. Before the Western Qiang rebels rushed over formed a scale, these soldiers did not dare to shoot, and shot them one after another to kill the target.

At present, the archers and soldiers under Yang Rui have used the fine iron feather arrows produced by the Blacksmith Shop in Xiamo Village. The attack power has been increased by a certain level, but the cost of the feather arrows has also increased a lot! Fortunately, before the plot of the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, Yang Rui signed an ore purchase and sales agreement with Linwen Village. The iron ore is basically the same as the ones obtained for nothing, greatly reducing the cost of the fine iron feather arrows.

It can be said that the attack bonus of the elite iron feather arrow is also one of the important reasons why these archers can defeat the enemy with one blow! However, this situation only lasted about a quarter of an hour. As the number of Xiqiang rebels crossing the river continued to increase, the number of Xiqiang rebel soldiers who successfully crossed the Fu River gradually increased, and they rushed towards the mound occupied by the archers.

"Swoosh swish swish..."

"Swoosh..."

As the number of rebels pouring up on the mound increased, the defending archers did not dare to be too big even if they were at a higher level, and they used all their strength to pull the bow and shoot the arrow! At this time, the competition was no longer accurate, but the speed of the arrow shooting. Facing the crowded rebel soldiers crossing the river, they could almost shoot one or several enemies as long as they shot the arrows and had enough power!

As a result, although there were many soldiers coming up from the rebels, they could not rush up to the mound for a while. The battle situation suddenly became stalemate and balanced. In about a quarter of an hour, the rebels had never been able to rush up to the mound. Even if the rebel soldiers occasionally rushed to a closer position, they were all solved in time by nearby primary generals and level 4 melee soldiers!

In about a quarter of an hour, Yang Rui noticed that a total of more than 400 mission verifications were obtained, which means that the number of Western Qiang rebel soldiers wiped out exceeded 20,000! Most of the attacks were completed by archers, and on average, each archer shot more than 10 opponents! The only regret is that these items exploded by Western Qiang rebels cannot be obtained for the time being.

However, the Western Qiang rebels did not have only such skills. After a short while, the rebel soldiers who rushed to the earthen mound were significantly stronger than before. Some of the soldiers increased their defense and speed a lot, and they often fell into several arrows without falling! The higher-level soldiers of the Western Qiang rebels also participated in the charge.

The addition of these rebel soldiers above level 4 really effectively increased the attack strength. The height of the rebels rushing to the mound is constantly being refreshed, and the number of soldiers who occasionally approached has increased. Primary generals and 4th level melee infantry also began to join the battle, and several 4th level infantry even suffered some damage!

At this time, the time for the primary general, archers and melee soldiers to retreat was not appropriate. However, before retreating, Yang Rui commanded 10,000 1st-level yellow turban soldiers to rush forward. Under the cover of the archers, these yellow turban soldiers used their terrain advantages to dive for a while, and some even rushed directly to the bank of the auxiliary river, and were summoned back by Yang Rui.

Of course, these first-level yellow turban soldiers must have suffered a lot in the dive and return process, and about 20% of the yellow turban soldiers died directly! However, after all, ten thousand people rushed together, and there were long-range cover from archers. The impact of these yellow turban soldiers caused the attack of the Western Qiang rebels to suddenly stagnate, and the progress they had made was defeated back to the state they were when they first launched the attack!

The most important thing is that at Yang Rui's instructions, the seven or eight thousand 1st-level yellow turban soldiers returned did not return empty-handed. They had picked up most of the more conspicuous items that broke out on the mound, mainly including skill books and equipment!

With a counterattack by the Yellow Turban soldiers, the offensive of the Western Qiang rebels was eased for a while, and they had to push the survival line step by step again! When the rebel soldiers were not able to fill the slope of the mound and approached the apex of the mound again, nearly a quarter of an hour passed.

The Western Qiang rebel soldiers rushed up this time were obviously much more dense than before. Yang Rui almost without hesitation to command the Yellow Turban soldiers to launch a counterattack. However, after the Yellow Turban soldiers repelled the Western Qiang rebels again this time, Yang took advantage of the stagnant attack of the opponent and pulled all his subordinates back to Ledu City.
Chapter completed!
