Chapter 421 Fire Rain River
Xu You proposed to avoid the current Yuan Shao and Liu Dai's request for the war in Qiao Mao and Jizhou and Qingzhou, and Yang Rui happily agreed.
For Yang Rui, being able to follow Xu You has greatly weakened Yuan Shao's strength. He had already made arrangements to deal with Yuan Shao, so there was no need to use Xu You.
So Yang Rui asked Xu You to stay in Dashan City for a while, and by the way he could also take care of Dashan City's affairs. At present, Wang Hai's ability to be in charge of Dashan City is already somewhat insufficient. Although Yang Rui did not clearly entrust Xu You with the responsibility, he actually had the intention to verify his abilities.
Yang Rui successfully sent Xu You to follow him and also obtained his submission task. Although it was a bit unexpected, it was not surprising to think about it carefully. When Yang Rui conquered Zhang Ning, he did not go through the following task link. As soon as he came up, he was the submission task link.
Xu You's performance this time has also verified one thing again, that is, historical generals/historical scholars of the hostile camp can all skip the follow-up link, but NPCs in non-hostile camps generally have to do follow-up link tasks first. This is also the experience that Yang Rui has repeatedly verified so far.
After sending Xu You back to Dashan City, Yang Rui was able to restore control of the battlefield situation in Changyi City. He used the convenience of the wind flying carpet to investigate the direction of the offensive and defense teams. As Liu Dai noticed before, every step he took to attack the city was steady and steadily, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry.
Changyi City was once the former capital of Liu Dai, so it did not have much advantage in terms of geographical advantages for Qiao Mao, especially after Liu Dai reached Changyi City, he first controlled all the towns and villages around the city. It can be said that except for an isolated city in Changyi City, Qiao Mao did not have any home court advantage.
Moreover, after Liu Dai arrived in Changyi City, he indeed gathered a lot of the "Tao Army" troops led by Xu You before, and reopened the tunnel entrance that was buried by Yang Rui. It seemed that he did not give up on the use of this tunnel.
This may be one of the reasons why Liu Dai's army did not attack the city immediately after arriving in Changyi City, but stopped moving. After Yang Rui discovered this, he naturally wanted to stop it. However, Liu Dai's troops had been stationed for more than ten miles around Changyi City. The small forest where the tunnel entrance was located was all controlled by Liu Dai's troops. It was difficult for Yang Rui to take action.
Fortunately, according to Yang Rui's observation from a distance, there was no sign of "authentic soldiers" soldiers re-operated. No new sand was transported around the woods. I think there should not be many "authentic soldiers" soldiers gathered by Liu Dai. In addition, Yang Rui once buried the excavation tools deep in the tunnel, so it should be difficult to re-engage the construction.
After Xu You followed Yang Rui, Yang Rui also asked about the current situation of this tunnel and learned that although the tunnel had been excavated underground in Changyi City, it would take some effort to complete the final workload so that the soldiers could break into the city. Therefore, it was not easy for Liu Dai to restart this tunnel.
At this point, the offensive and defensive battles in Changyi City seemed to have become a race between the two sides and time. On the one hand, Liu Dai only tentatively launched some attacks after siege of the city, as if he had to wait for the tunnel to be completed before launching a general attack inside and outside. On the other hand, several generals in Yang Rui's hands and more than 15,000 cavalrymen from Dashan City were also rushing to Changyi City. If the two could reach Changyi City in time, it would be very likely to reverse the current passive situation of Qiao Mao's defense of the city.
This situation lasted for two days. The cavalry in Dashan City, which Yang Rui had originally estimated to have arrived, had not arrived for a long time. During this period, Liu Dai also tried to attack the city several times, but he also made no progress. Qiao Mao's work to defend the city was still done well at the time of life and death.
From this we can also see that no matter how detailed the previous plan was, there would always be some abnormalities when the war was approaching. For Yang Rui, the more favorable news was that Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others finally arrived in Changyi City as soon as possible and joined Yang Rui.
"...Master, since Liu Dai has never given up digging the tunnel and has new sand and soil transported out of the forest again, it is better for us to take advantage of the night to kill us and rush into the tunnel smoothly..." Gao Shun, who has always been a little sensible, took the initiative to suggest this time.
Since Yang Rui has been paying attention to the tunnels in the woods and repeatedly mentioned the huge threats that tunnels may bring to Qiao Mao’s defense of the city, Gao Shun, Zhang Ning, Zhang Liao and other three others arrived and made many suggestions on how to eliminate the threat of tunnels.
"If you use the Jizhen Jade Talisman to activate the Taoist Fengfei Carpet, I wonder if you can use the Tianling Fire Rain skill?"
It is undeniable that Gao Shun's proposal is still relatively realistic. If Yang Rui and several generals were fighting into the woods at night, safety should not be a big problem. However, Yang Rui did not respond to Gao Shun's proposal immediately, but turned to Zhang Ning and asked.
"Yes. The lord means..." Zhang Ning replied, and at the same time, his eyes flashed with a bright light, as if he had already understood what Yang Rui wanted to express.
Zhang Ning was originally a very quiet and spiritual person, so it was normal for Yang Rui to be inspired after being asked. The fact is just as Zhang Ning thought, Yang Rui did come up with a good idea.
In fact, Yang Rui had this idea after conquering Zhang Ning, but he had never tried it. Zhang Ning's Tianling suit comes with the powerful skill "Tian Ling Fire Rain", but the casting range of this skill is only 1000m*1000m, which is definitely not vast on the actual battlefield. At the same time, it is restricted by the continuous casting of standing stakes. I am afraid that only the city defense or the defense battle can play a key role.
Yang Rui had imagined that since the jade talisman in the market can store internal force, Taoist techniques, etc. to activate the Taoist Fengfei Carpet, if the Taoist Fengfei Carpet can be combined with Zhang Ning's Tianling Fire Rain skill, wouldn't it be possible to transform Zhang Ning's fixed firepower point into a mobile turret!?
After Yang Rui's prompt, Zhang Ning reacted immediately. Gao Shun and Zhang Liao also understood Yang Rui's intentions, so Yang Rui and others then waited for the night to come and put this idea into practice.
"Swoosh...swoosh..."
"Crack! Roar..."
“…huhhh…”
The Liu Dai's troops stationed on the south side of Changyi City had already begun to rest one after another, but were disturbed by a strange sound in the sky. Some soldiers immediately crawled out of the camp to check the situation, and almost all of them were shocked by the scene they saw!
I saw that in the sky, it seemed like a fire dragon raised its head from the southeast of Changyi City and rushed towards the southwest of Changyi City. Wherever it passed, the fire rain with fists fell one after another, and the ground covered by the fire rain had turned into a fiery red!
This is the power of Zhang mobile turret. At this time, Zhang Ning was sitting upright on the Tao Fengfei Carpet, facing away from the Tao Fengfei Carpet, and continued to use the ultimate move of Tianling Fire Rain behind him. Wherever he passed, he had already turned into a sea of fire.
Of course, Zhang Ning's route to drive the Daofengfei Carpet was also right through the forest where the tunnel entrance was located. The primary goal of her driving the Daofengfei Carpet this time was to use the Tianling Fire Rain was this forest. The routes she passed through were all designed in advance. The routes she flew under the driving of the jade talisman of the formation were straight, and it was not difficult to cover the location of the woods.
So after the Taoist Fengfei Carpet passed over the woods, the trees covered by the Sky Spirit Fire Rain below were ignited immediately. Even though the flames of the Sky Spirit Fire Rain had not yet left the category of ordinary fire, they were still much more powerful than ordinary flames. As a result, the fire bands in the woods were also rapidly expanding around, and there was a tendency to completely engulf the entire forest.
Needless to say, the forest near the tunnel entrance is the area where Zhang Ning Tian Linghuo Rain skill directly acts. Because there were many soldiers guarding it nearby, these soldiers were immediately affected when the fire rose.
"Fire! Fire..."
"Help!"
“Run…”
"Crack! Boom..."
“…”
At first, a wave of soldiers struggling and shouting for help broke out in the woods, but it was soon covered by the sound of flame bursting, as if there was no movement in just a moment.
"This is...what is going on!?"
At this time, Liu Dai had just rested in the Ximen Camp, but was soon awakened by the soldiers. When he left the camp and looked southwest of Changyi City, he was still frightened by the sky and the ground.
Originally, in Liu Dai's opinion, it was very difficult to attack Changyi City this time. First, the Pioneer Army captured Qiao Mao's empty city plan and retreated; then Liu Dai found that the "authentic soldiers" sent by Yuan Shao to help were also dispersed in advance by the opponent, and Xu You, who commanded the "authentic soldiers", was also plundered. Now he was suffering from the fire rain from heaven, not to mention how much damage it caused to Liu Dai, the morale of his subordinates has been affected one after another!
"Okay! OK! Tianxiaosuke!"
Some people are worried and some are happy. At this time, Qiao Mao was standing with his subordinates on the south gate of Changyi City and watching a river of fire appearing in the south of the city. Compared to Liu Dai, his perspective is naturally better, and of course he is also in much better mood than the other party!
Although Qiao Mao was not sure that Yang Rui was helping secretly, he thought of some of it, but he called this sudden rain of fire as a "sighted sign" in his mouth, which was undoubtedly more inspiring in improving the morale of the soldiers.
