There was no dream all night, Yuan Yun didn't get up comfortably from the simple military bed until the sun rose in the morning, and after seeing the dark circles under Shi Shen and Xiaoliu's eyes, he couldn't help laughing again and again, and told them yesterday that they could sleep with confidence, but who knew that these two people still kept watch all night.

Since the guards were so loyal, there was nothing to complain about, and after enjoying the dried meat breakfast comfortably, Yuan Yun began to do gymnastics outside the camp tent, and Shi Shen and Xiao Liu began to pack up busily.

When the sun had climbed into the sky, the Gunpowder Army began to advance from the camp, aiming directly at the valley, and it was at this time that Yuan Yun found that the Qiang warriors had disappeared.

There was no need to guess, these people had already rushed to the valley in front to prepare, and they planned to wipe out all the gunpowder troops there.

Yuan Yun whistled and rode leisurely on the back of the old mare, until he saw the slope of the valley, and then ordered the whole army to stop advancing, and then beckoned Ma Jun to the front.

Then a strange thing happened, I saw that the team of the Gunpowder Army would stop when it walked up, and then Ma Jun would run to the front of the team and look left and right, and then the Gunpowder Army would continue to advance, and so on three or four times, before finally stopping completely.

At this time, the team was only five or six hundred meters away from the valley, and Yuan Yun was still riding on horseback, but Ma Jun was tired and sweating profusely, because he was starting to move the gun carriage with a dozen craftsmen.

After a few sticks of incense, Ma Jun seemed to be finally satisfied, so he quickly ran to Yuan Yun's side, and then asked, "Lord, is it starting now?" ”

Yuan Yun heard Ma Jun say this, tilted his neck slightly and glanced at the valley in the distance, and seemed to be still a little uneasy, so he beckoned Li He to his side again, and then asked, "It's all arranged?" ”

Li He hugged his fists and said: "Back to the lord, everything is properly arranged, gunpowder bombs, incendiary bombs are distributed all over the valley, the weather is cold at this time, and a large amount of dead grass has been hoarded in the valley, which will definitely be more helpful." ”

Yuan Yun nodded with satisfaction and shouted at Ma Jun: "Let's start!" ”

Shi Shen and Xiao Liu were very puzzled, they didn't understand what Li He had been doing these days, and when they heard Li He say about gunpowder bombs and incendiary bombs, they immediately felt as if they understood something, but they were not very sure.

Just as Shi Shen wanted to ask Yuan Yun directly, he heard a huge cannon sound from the front of the team, and in an instant, he saw a swarthy thing fly out, and then disappear between the valleys.

In a flash of lightning, a spark burst out in the valley, and before this spark could be dissipated, countless sparks began to burst out, followed by a cannon shot, and a second cannonball also flew out, this time on the high slope on the side of the valley, and the situation soon began to explode rapidly in the middle of the valley.

In a moment's time, the valley could not be seen, only smoke billowed everywhere, a huge fire was burning below, and the sound of explosions did not stop for a moment, as if there were many people shuttling in the middle of the fire, and the howls and shouts could be faintly heard.

The fire burned for two hours before it gradually went out, and when Shi Shen and Xiaoliu walked into the valley, they felt an inexplicable horror, countless blackened corpses were found here, and the distance was full of all kinds of stumps and broken arms, and a strong smell of barbecue wafted in the air, making people's stomach acid continue to rise.

Yuan Yun covered his face with a wet cloth, and then asked Li He to lead the old mare, and just walked through the valley, ignoring everything in the valley, but the smell in his nose still made him lose all appetite, and he didn't eat a single piece of food until he camped in the evening of this day.

The happiest person in the team is Ma Jun, he roughly estimated that after these few cannons, he already has at least more than 100 heads of military merit, which is really effortless.

After this small episode, the Gunpowder Army miraculously discovered that all the enemy scouts who had been following disappeared, and the Qiang warriors never appeared again, and everything returned to the way it came.

On the morning of the second day, Yuan Yun received a letter from Ma Teng again, this time the letter very clearly stated the number of reinforcements he was going to send, a full 20,000 soldiers, and the most surprising thing was that the commander of these 20,000 people was Jinma Silver Halberd, Xiliang God of War, Ma Chao, and Ma Mengqi.

Yuan Yun smiled and put the letter into his arms, and then began to look at the map in his mind, after passing Beidi County, it would be Anding County.

According to Ma Teng's letter, his son Ma Chao would gather a large army at the border, forcing Zhang Lu's generals Yang Ang and Yang Ren to send troops to defend themselves, thus creating an opportunity for Yuan Yun to attack the city of Anding County.

The letter also said that the city of Anding County was dilapidated, and once the defenders poured out, Yuan Yun could naturally easily take it.

Yuan Yun was quite disgusted by Ma Teng's shameless behavior of not working hard, so he quickly summoned Li He, and then said with a smile: "Li He, you quickly send a scout out, and then shoot a letter into Anding County, saying that we are coming to attack the city, and let Yang Ang and Yang Ren wash their butts and wait for slaughter." ”

Li He's question on his face, it didn't matter if he had questioned privately before, but it would be very inappropriate to question it in front of everyone at this moment, otherwise it would definitely not be a good thing for the handsome to be majestic and not guaranteed, so he immediately gave up his hand and went down to find someone to do something.

Shi Shen saw that the people around him were gradually dispersed, so he asked cautiously: "Lord, we are planning to attack Anding County, why do we need to notify in advance, if we pass quietly, we can be surprised." ”

Yuan Yun frowned, and felt that it was still necessary to explain to Shi Shen that in the future, he would gradually have more opportunities to go to the battlefield, and he would always need a few people around him who could lead troops, and he would always ask Lao Tzu about everything, and he would really not be able to live in the future.

So Yuan Yun took out the letter in his arms and handed it to Shi Shen, and when he saw that he was almost there, he said: "Ma Teng is preparing to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, he will attract the enemy's main force away, with our hundreds of people, we should also be able to take stability, but there will inevitably be casualties, I definitely don't want to do this." ”

Shi Shen scratched the back of his head, and then wondered: "Since this is the case, we notified the defenders in advance, isn't it more difficult to conquer Anding?" ”

Yuan Yun was patient, and then explained: "I promised Ma Teng before, I will hand it over to him after Anding takes it, I only need the grain and grass left by Zhang Lu, so Ma Teng is the biggest beneficiary of taking Anding County, and he is also the most eager person."

We informed the stable guards, saying that we are going to attack the city, and the defenders will naturally honestly stay in the city to wait for work, and Ma Teng's reinforcements can only wait at the border, and I also made it very clear in my previous reply that if he Ma Teng does not send troops to help, I will return to Luoyang immediately, and never ask about stability again.

If Ma Teng still let the reinforcements guard the border, it is equivalent to missing this great opportunity, who does not know that our gunpowder army is the best at attacking the city, Ma Teng can easily attack the city with our strength, how can he give up this opportunity? ”

Shi Shen sighed, finally figured out Yuan Yun's intentions, and in an instant, he began to pat himself again and again, hearing that Yuan Yun couldn't help frowning, and he was helpless.

Yuan Yun walked for another four days with a team of less than 400 people, and received a letter from Ma Teng's side, but this time the handwriting was very different, the words were strong and powerful, like a blade, according to the distance, this should be written by Ma Chao himself.

The letter only said that their plan to garrison the border seemed to have been seen through by the defenders of Anding, because Yang Ang and Yang Ren did not set up defenses, so Ma Chao decided to lead the army directly into Anding County to assist Yuan Yun in attacking the city.

Yuan Yun finally saw Meng Qi's signature at the checkout office, so he smiled and said to himself: "We are the one who assists." ”

After a few days, I finally saw the city of Anding County, which was very different from what Ma Teng said, the city wall here had been repaired, although there were still many broken places, but it was already a well-deserved fortified city.

At the same time, more than 20,000 Xiliang soldiers led by Ma Chao had also arrived, covering the entire Xicheng direction, which also made Yang Ang and Yang Ren concentrate most of the defenders on the side of Xicheng.

At noon, Ma Chao actually came directly to Yuan Yun's camp with his adjutant general's entourage, and his actions were indeed resolute.

When Ma Chao passed by the camp of the Gunpowder Army, he only felt very clean and uniform, and what Ma Chao cared about the most was that the soldiers of the Gunpowder Army were all wearing steel armor, and the swords were even more shining.

After observing along the way, Ma Chaocai had a plan in his heart, he thought that Yuan Yun only came with less than 400 people to attack Anding, it was just nonsense, and at this moment, seeing such a powerful gunpowder army, he had some bottom, but he still felt that Yuan Yun was a brainless general.

Entering Yuan Yun's Chinese army tent, Ma Chao was stunned, he never thought that such a powerful gunpowder army was actually led by a young man around twenty years old, in addition to Ma Chao, those deputy generals were also full of doubts, and then some people began to hum very unhappily.

Yuan Yun looked at Ma Chao in front of him, and secretly praised in his heart, no wonder the book said that his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like meteors, his tiger body and ape arms, and his belly and wolf waist, because he was indeed a muscular man, and his inverted triangle figure could feel the thick muscles through his clothes, although his appearance was a little rough, but the edges and corners were clear, like a knife, and he was indeed handsome and extraordinary.

After Ma Chao sat down, Yuan Yuncai arched his hand and said: "The hard general came in person, and it is no wonder that Ben Hou failed to meet him from afar." ”

Ma Chao nodded and said, "It's okay, it's just that I didn't expect Yuan Hou to be so young, but it surprised me." ”

As soon as Ma Chao's words ended, one of his attendants laughed sarcastically, Shi Shen and Xiaoliu suddenly took a step forward unhappily, looking very unhappy, and the atmosphere in the camp immediately became heavy.

Ma Chao didn't seem to care about this, didn't restrain his subordinates, and didn't explain anything, as if he was watching a good show.

With Ma Chao's attitude, his entourage was even bolder, and one of them even walked out directly behind Ma Chao, and then raised his neck and provoked Shi Shen and Xiaoliu.

Yuan Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled directly: "It seems that Brother Meng Qi's entourage wants to move his muscles, Ben Hou is also very curious, how powerful are these subordinates of yours, why don't you let Ben Hou send someone out to compare with them?" ”

The corners of Ma Chao's mouth turned up unconsciously, and he smiled: "Since Yuan Hou said so, then he naturally needs to obey, but I don't know what happened to Yuan Hou's faction and people?" ”

After Ma Chao finished speaking, he squinted at Shi Shen and Xiao Liu behind Yuan Yun, just looking at the appearance of these two people, he probably had the bottom, his entourage was naturally very powerful, and Yuan Yun's two guards were obviously not weak, and they couldn't judge the result for a while.

However, Ma Chao is not worried, he has brought a lot of entourage today, even if it is a wheel battle, he can defeat the other party, this is also another lesson, that is, he clearly told Yuan Yun that if he only brought less than 400 people, he would come to attack Anding, and he could only be bullied by the side with more people.

Yuan Yun stretched his waist very leisurely, and then said to Ma Chao with a smile: "My two guards still have some skills, in case they hurt Brother Meng Qi's entourage, it won't be good, why don't you let the guards outside my tent end?" ”

Ma Chao immediately despised in his heart, and even let the guards outside the tent go down, this is an insult, since this is the case, there is nothing to spare, so Ma Chao stood up directly and said to the entourage behind him: "Since Yuan Hou has arranged it like this, you let go and beat each other, remember not to hurt each other's lives, they are all noble people, not like you killers." ”

Those entourages still couldn't hear Ma Chao's words, and they all began to stretch their bodies, ready to cripple all Yuan Yun's guards.

Yuan Yun still had a leisurely expression, and then shouted outside the tent: "Where is Zhao Yun?" ”
