Before arriving near Yangping County, Yang Rui found a lot of scattered Yuan Shao's soldiers from above the Sky City, but the cities and territories along the way were still under control, and Yuan Shao's soldiers were just a small group of sentinels.

The scale of Yuan Shao's troops was not found, and Yang Rui did not stop, until it was almost near Yangping County, the frequency of Yuan Shao's soldiers appeared, and many of them were assembled in the direction of Yangping County.

Following the direction of the movement of Yuan Shao's troops, Yang Rui found the sky near Yangping County all the way, and then found a large number of Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses gathered near Yangping County.

At this time, the number of Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses assembled outside Yangping County has reached the scale of nearly 100,000 people, and it looks like he is about to prepare for the siege of the city, Yang Rui came at the right time!

"Ignite the fire and send the message, so that the soldiers and horses of all the doors will rush out of the city after waiting for the sound of killing to gradually rise, don't call anyone to escape!"

After a while and a half, Yang Rui had already placed Gao Shun, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong in the surrounding 20 miles of Yangping County, and ordered them to each lead 100,000 troops, while Yang Rui operated Sky City, Cheng Yu, and Guo Jia to directly enter the city of Yangping County.

At the time of the layout, Yang Rui had already agreed with Gao Shun, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong, but when he saw the head of Yangping County, he committed suicide from all sides to his heart, and then joined forces with the soldiers in Yangping City to eliminate Yuan Shao's troops in one fell swoop.

Sky City cannot be used smoothly in enemy-controlled areas, but Yangping County is still under the control of Yang Rui's troops, so after entering the city area, Sky City can still be reduced to the size of a fist and release all the soldiers in its middle.

The county magistrate of Yangping County, surnamed Zhang, was so excited that he immediately bowed his head after seeing Yang Rui appear in Yangping County like a heavenly soldier descending!

Before Yang Rui arrived, this Zhang County Commander was really under a lot of pressure. In the face of Yuan Shao's soldiers, who became two or three times the size of Yangping County, Zhang County's order could not be easy no matter what, and the most important thing was that Yuan Shao's troops outside the city were all elite soldiers.

Moreover, Zhang Xianling had already withstood two sieges by Yuan Shao's subordinates before, and when he defended the city for the second time, Zhang Xianling had already felt the limit of defense, and I am afraid that Yuan Shao's subordinates would have another siege of the same scale, and he would not be able to hold it.

Let's look at the actions of Yuan Shao's troops under the city. It is clear that the siege will continue soon, and the size of the siege will be doubled.

At this moment, Yang Rui rushed over in time like a heavenly soldier, and Zhang Xianling suddenly grasped the life-saving straw, and at the same time, he also sighed from the bottom of his heart about Yang Rui's ability and his choice to stick to the city.

At the beginning, when a large number of Yuan Shao's soldiers appeared in the city, in fact, Zhang Xianling's heart was also a little shaken!

What made Zhang Xianling feel was not only what was in front of him, but after Yang Rui set fire on the four walls of Yangping County, the faint shouting and killing sound in the distance shocked Zhang Xianling's heart again.

"Kill!"

"Kill ......"

“……”

Although the shouting and killing sound in the distance was faint, it sounded like there was a feeling that there was no way to dodge. This voice came from all directions, and the experienced generals and soldiers in Yuan Shao's troops quickly noticed the problem, and the expression on their faces had changed.

Among the people of Yuan Shao's troops at the west gate of Yangping County, two people who looked like military generals obviously also discovered this situation, and after discussing a few words with each other, they saw that one of them commanded about 10,000 soldiers and horses, highlighting the crowd towards the east side of Yangping County.

The remaining military general rode around the city among Yuan Shao's troops, and where they passed, Yuan Shao's troops had already formed a formation.

The military general who led the troops away was Zhang He, who was known as one of the four court pillars in Hebei. And the one who stayed to organize the formation for defense was the general Min Yi, who has made great achievements in recent years!

The two of them were two of the southern army that crossed the river from the southernmost side, and the remaining soldiers and horses were commanded by Feng Ji. It's just that he was a little delayed on the way, and he hasn't arrived at Yangping County for the time being.

At this time, although Zhang He's fame is gradually rising, it is actually a lot worse than Minyi, so after the two of them arrive at Chengyi, Zhang He can only be regarded as a deputy general.

However, whether it is Zhang He or Minyi, both of them are very good at fighting generals. At this time, it was also a tacit understanding to deal with Yangping County, and both of them thought that Yang Rui's troops from nearby cities came to aid Yangping County, so they determined that the direction they came from was most likely to be on the east side.

"Drive! ...... driving"

"Gotcha! Get! Got ......."

“……”

The 10,000 soldiers cited by Zhang He are all the cavalry troops in the direction of Yuan Shao's Zhongnan Road, and it is normal to use the cavalry in response to emergencies.

It's just that Yang Rui's army suddenly appeared in Yangping County. But Zhang He and Minyi couldn't have imagined it anyway, in fact, no matter how they responded, the result would not change much.

However, it was said that Zhang He's cavalry had just rushed out of about 10 miles, and he saw that the opposite side was also dusty, and the sound of the earth shaking and the unique sound characteristics of horses' hooves made Zhang He realize that the opponent he encountered was also cavalry from a long distance!

And according to Zhang He's rich combat experience, the size of the opponent's cavalry should not be less than his own, or even much more!

After making this judgment, Zhang He immediately grabbed the reins of his horse by the side of a stream and temporarily pressed a group of cavalry on the side of the stream.

As a general who has been in command of the army for a long time, although Zhang He is not best at cavalry, he is also very familiar with the key to cavalry victory, especially in the case of cavalry hedging between the two sides, fighting for courage and momentum.

However, the current situation made Zhang He dare not be careless, and the large number of cavalry on the other side made him a little bottomless, so Zhang He relied on this stream to stop.

"Gotcha! Get! Got ......."

“……”

In the end, the other party's cavalry found that it also slowly stopped on the other side of the stream, which made Zhang He's heart suddenly relieved.

In fact, he had already stepped forward to test it, the stream was very shallow, and basically it would not have much impact on the cavalry's charge, if the other party rushed directly at all costs, Zhang He and his cavalry troops would suffer a lot of losses.

"I am Zhang He in the river, the word is good, dare to ask who the generals in front are, can you dare to come forward and fight with me?"

Zhang He's side just relieved himself, and then looked at the other party's cavalry soldiers, but he tightened the strings again, and the strength of his soldiers was not weaker than his own side, not to mention, the number was probably more than previously estimated!

If it was a hard fight, Zhang He didn't dare to guarantee that his side would not suffer, so he had a plan and took the initiative to invite the other party to come forward and fight alone, he was still very confident in his own force.

"I am Changshan Zhao Zilong, please!"

Zhang He's side had just invited to fight, but he didn't expect the general of the army on the other side to immediately step forward and respond to his heads-up happily, this person was Zhao Yun! (To be continued.) )
