Chapter 394 Gathering in Luoyang
"Option 1: The Jade Seal of the Kingdom..."
After Yang Rui saw the option of the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, his heart beat suddenly faster. Unexpectedly, this treasure would appear in such an occasion, so Yang Rui immediately wanted to choose it.
What does the Jade Seal of the Kingdom mean? Both players and NPC should be very clear. This thing is a must-have treasure for the emperor. If it can be used well, its function will definitely be far more than that. It is likely to have very practical attributes in itself, but Yang Rui cannot see it for the time being.
"Option 2: Map of the 14th State, drawings of the building and ships, and special arms attributes buff book."
However, Yang Rui still looked away with difficulty and checked the second option. After seeing this, Yang Rui woke up immediately. The imperial seal was naturally extremely precious, but he had to have the strength to keep it and play a role. Didn’t Sun Jian, in the Romance, lead to a murderous disaster due to the leak of the imperial seal?
Compared with the imperial seal, the content in the second option is much more practical. Not to mention the map of the 14th State and the special military attribute gain book, the two things are, just the drawing of the building ship is already extremely practical, which is exactly what Yang Rui has been looking for.
Before, Yang Rui had been jealous of Yuanyuan Routuantun and Sun Jian's big transport ship. Now, seeing the drawings of the building ship is naturally happy!
"I choose the second item!" Yang Rui said after careful consideration.
Yang Rui's concern that the imperial seal would cause disputes was only one aspect, and the most important drawings of the building ship were really useful for Yang Rui. As for the current plot of Dong Zhuo's rebellion, if there were ships like the building ship, the results that Yang Rui could achieve would definitely not be limited to the current ones.
After the game map is enlarged, not only the ocean, a large number of inland rivers have become extremely seaworthy, and large ships such as tower ships are no longer limited to the front line of the Yangtze River. Many northern rivers will also be able to be seaworthy, so its importance can be imagined!
Not to mention anything else, Yang Rui caused a lot of trouble to Dong Zhuo on the Yellow River with just over a hundred spear ships and two other simple transport ships; on the other hand, if Dong Zhuo had a powerful fleet arranged on the Yellow River to block the pace of Yang Rui and Sun Jian, then he would not have been as passive as he is now!
Furthermore, most of the Qingzhou territory under Yang Rui's initial control is surrounded by the ocean, and it also urgently needs a powerful ship to complete various activities at sea. This is also one of the main reasons why Yang Rui chose the second item.
"Select the second reward, are you sure?"
"Sure!"
After Yang Rui selected the award, the three items immediately entered the backpack, and their attributes were also revealed.
"The 14th State Map: The map of the 14th State of the East China Sea of the Han Dynasty will trigger detailed content after it involves relevant regions."
"Board ship drawings: You can make basic building ships, which are 70 zhang long, 15 zhang wide and 10 zhang high. You can arrange women's walls, fight grids, and open windows and spear holes, which can carry 3,000 soldiers or ordinary personnel, and can store throwing vehicles, stones, iron buckets and other equipment.
Production materials: 200 units of 9-grade wood, 1000 units of 8-grade wood, 500 units of 7-grade wood, 100 units of 6-grade wood or above, and 50,000 units of ordinary wood. Production conditions: 1 senior dock, 1 expert carpenter, 20 senior carpenters."
"Special Army Attribute Buffer Book (Scale Armored Water Storm): It can add a prop for the special Army Attribute of Generals/Famous Soldiers (Scale Armored Water Storm). Conditions of use: reach the level of historical generals/Historical Storm above level three, and do not have any special Army Attributes."
After checking the instructions of the three items, Yang Rui discovered that these three items were probably originally existed to obtain the 14th state of the Han Dynasty. There were sea maps, ship drawings, and special military corpses. Yang Rui chose this reward for the reward!
Not to mention whether we can find the 14th state of the Han Dynasty. After obtaining two items: the drawings of the tower ship and the special military attribute enhancement book (scaled armored water soldiers), Yang Rui could almost foresee that the powerful navy was already waving to him!
These two things may not be available for the time being when they are in the hands of other players, but they are used to the fullest amount of wood. Yang Rui has no shortage of top-quality wood for the time being. In terms of carpenters, Yang Rui has Jiao Wen and dozens of high-level carpenters obtained from Dong Zhuo, and can build the tower ship almost immediately.
Yang Rui should not find the users of the historical generals/historical master level required by the special military attribute enhancement book (Scale Armored Shuishi). At present, Zhang Ning's special military attributes have not been activated. Zhang Liao, Wu Anguo and others have not yet shown the special military attributes for the time being. Perhaps there are those who are suitable for the conditions among these people. At the very least, it will be used after Yang Rui reaches the historical generals/historical master level!
"Leader of Lieyang?Leader of Lieyang..."
Yang Rui chose the reward and wasted some time. Sun Jian, who was standing beside him, couldn't help calling Yang Rui a few times. However, after Yang Rui chose the reward, Sun Jian himself soon fell into a dull state. At this time, Sun Jian should have received the reward from the imperial seal!
"The leader of the Lieyang Alliance...the soldiers are exhausted now. Why don't we and the other two rest? I'm currently going to Pingxian County to transfer all the soldiers to Luoyang Imperial City to assist in the defense to prevent Dong Zhuo Yanshi, Gongxian and Hulao Pass from harassing again..." Sun Jian said a moment later.
Obviously, after Sun Jian obtained the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, he had to calm down, so he was in a panic that he wanted to separate from Yang Rui in a hurry.
Since this was the case, Yang Rui did not deliberately delay and immediately separated from Sun Jian. Yang Rui stationed at the Beigong of Luoyang and defended the outer city on the east and north sides, while Sun Jian stationed at the Nangong of Luoyang and defended the outer city on the south and west sides.
However, Sun Jian took the excuse of transferring troops and hurried out of Luoyang Imperial City and headed towards Pingxian County. It was probably because he had settled the imperial seal. Yang Rui did not say this. After Sun Jian went to Pingxian County, he also drove the wind-flying carpet to Heyin County.
Yang Rui has left Heyin County for two or three days. On the one hand, he returned to urge the Duyang County Magistrate to build ships with all his might. On the other hand, Yang Rui also mobilized Zhang Ning, all the remaining iron guards and archers into Luoyang Imperial City.
Now that Dong Zhuo's forces near Luoyang have retreated, there is not much pressure on the defense of Heyin County for the time being, Yang Rui only let Chen Lin and more than 20,000 ordinary fourth-level soldiers stay behind, and cooperate with the more than 10,000 county soldiers in Du Yang's hands. There is no defensive problem in Heyin City.
Yang Rui transferred Zhang Ning to Luoyang Imperial City, mainly to use her Tianling Fire Rain skill. After mobilizing the soldiers and subordinates to defend Luoyang City, Yang Rui drove the Daofeng Fei Carpet on his own and went to investigate the movements of Dong Zhuo, the troops of Yanshi, Gong County and Hulaoguan.
Luoyang is almost the only way for Dong Zhuo's troops to withdraw from the army in Yanshi, Gongxian and Hulaoguan. If the other party is not clear about the current situation of Luoyang City, it will undoubtedly be a good opportunity for Yang Rui to win merit and points.
So Yang Rui deliberately wanted to defend the east wall. If a soldier from Dong Zhuo's camp came, he could just take advantage of the 5th-level iron guards' approach to the city wall battle. At the same time, Yang Rui also inserted the flags left by Dong Zhuo's Luoyang defenders in the city gate tower and various parts of the city wall to confuse the retreating Dong Zhuo's troops.
Two days later, at noon, the guards of Dong Zhuo Hulao Pass, Gong County and Yanshi retreated one after another. The movement of Dong Zhuo's troops was immediately discovered by Yang Rui. Next, Yang Rui opened the gates in the east of Luoyang City and prepared to use Dong Zhuo's flag on the city wall to ambush.
However, except for the cavalry of Dong Zhuo's front who broke into Yang Rui's trap, Dong Zhuo's other soldiers circled around Luoyang Imperial City, which made Yang Rui's intention to fight was vain.
When Hu Zhen and other Luoyang defenders retreated, they had actually sent soldiers to various places to report on the loss of Luoyang. However, only Hulao Pass received the news more slowly and did not have time to inform them all. This led to nearly 10,000 cavalry of Dong Zhuo's most elite flying bear cavalry falling into the trap of Yang Rui in Luoyang City. Infants with slower movements in the rear received the news in time and detoured through the Luoyang area.
The combat power of the Flying Bear Soldier is still very strong. Yang Rui squandered his strength to take down the Flying Bear Soldiers of about 10,000 cavalry. A total of about 3,000 sets of Flying Bear Soldiers' 5th-level skill books were revealed. Yang Rui's arrangement was not in vain.
Dong Zhuo's retreat from the three places was actually not a small number, which was within millions. Therefore, with the other party's intentional alert, most of them quickly walked around Luoyang. Even if Yang Rui, who was in Luoyang City, wanted to go out of the city to get the merit and points, he had no idea how to start!
After a whole day, Dong Zhuo and several groups of retreating soldiers passed through Luoyang. At the end of the day, Yang Rui personally led his troops out of the city, placing far behind Dong Zhuo's troops for a while, but the gains from them were insignificant.
When Dong Zhuo's troops retreated into Hangu Pass, Yang Rui was out of reach and had to lead his soldiers back to Luoyang Imperial City, waiting for the arrival of the heroes on the east side of Hulaoguan.
However, it was not until a day after all the soldiers of Dong Zhuo retreated to the west of Hangu Pass that Yang Rui saw Cao Cao leading his troops to chase him alone, and there was no trace of other princes. In this way, two more days passed, and the heroes of Guandong arrived late.
"Hmph! If you had listened to me and followed the soldiers in Dong Zhuohulao Pass all the way, you might have already won a lot of them!"
