The next morning, the red sun was born.

Zhang Yun and his entourage came to the city of Pingyu, and the sunlight shone on everyone's armor, making the figures of Zhang Yun and others look extraordinarily tall.

"General, there's a bunch of people out there." In the City Lord's Mansion, a small soldier respectfully reported to Xiao Ruxun.

"Oh? How dare a thief commit it? Come with me and see. ”

"My lord, it's not a thief army, it seems to be an official army."

"How is that possible? How many of them are there? Xiao Ruxun heard the report from his subordinates, and unexpectedly an official or soldier came, and asked anxiously.

"There are about 5,000 people, led by a young general."

Xiao Ruxun heard this, and hurriedly ran towards the city wall.

"I am Xiao Ruxun, a general in Ningxia, and my name is reported by people from the city." Xiao Ruxun shouted at the city.

He looked at the neat appearance of the group of people under the city, and the armor on their bodies was excellent, and they were not a ragtag army at first glance.

Zhang Yun took a step forward on his horse, smiled at the city wall and said loudly: "I am Zhang Yun, the commander of the Changning Army, and we have been ordered by the emperor to come to support the general. ”

"Zhang Yun? Changning Army? Xiao Ruxun muttered in a low voice.

He has been in Ningxia for a long time, so he doesn't know Zhang Yun.

However, looking at the temperament and military appearance of Zhang Yun and others, they are not rebels, after all, rebels do not have such fine armor.

"Open the door and lower the drawbridge, and enlarge the army into the city." Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Ruxun opened the city gate.

Seeing this, Zhang Yun smiled at the city wall, and shouted behind him: "Brothers, enter the city." ”

Then, the group walked neatly towards the city.

"The order is forbidden, it really deserves to be a strong army." Xiao Ruxun looked at the people of the Changning Army and exclaimed.

"General Xiao, you can be regarded as seeing a real person."

"Hahaha......" After Zhang Yun entered the city, he came to Xiao Ruxun and said with his hand.

Then, he began to look at Xiao Ruxun, who is 1.8 meters tall, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and distinct facial features, looking very handsome.

The armor was stained with blood, and I don't know if it was the enemy's or my own, so people knew at a glance that they had experienced a vicious battle.

"General Zhang praised it falsely, what kind of fame does it have."

"General Xiao is too modest, and now in the whole of Ningxia and even Shaanxi, no one knows the prestige of your General Xiao." Zhang Yun said with a smile.

After the two exchanged business blows, they began to discuss business.

"General Xiao, how many soldiers do you still have in this city?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ruxun sighed: "Alas, there were originally 8,000 soldiers and horses in my city, but now there are more than 3,000 wounded, and there are only 2,000 soldiers who can fight." ”

"By the way, how many soldiers and horses did you bring with you this time?"

"Five thousand."

"I'm afraid 5,000 people is not enough." Xiao Ruxun shook his head when he heard that Zhang Yun only brought five thousand people.

Zhang Yun said with a smile: "Don't underestimate my 5,000 people, my Changning Army has all been replaced with new-style firearms, and all officers above the small flag are veterans in armor." ”

"Relying on this city, even if there are 30,000 people coming to him, I am not afraid."

Xiao Ruxun heard Zhang Yun boast like this, so he had to echo on the surface.

In fact, he secretly said in his heart: "It's another boy who doesn't know the height of the sky." ”

Zhang Yun saw his perfunctory appearance, and no longer explained, and came to his station after saying goodbye to him.

"My lord, let's be kind enough to help him, why doesn't this General Xiao seem to appreciate it." Wang Zhong frowned and said in a deep voice.

Zhang Yun waved his hand and said with relief: "Don't care what he thinks, people have just become famous in Ningxia." ”

"I guess in his eyes, I'm a boy who doesn't know the height of the sky."

"If he dares, I'll go to him to settle accounts." Zhao Hu on the side was not angry.

The crowd hurried to stop them.

Zhang Yun and the generals came to inspect the city wall, which is also tall, about three zhang high, and there is a moat around the city, which can be regarded as a defendable place.

The smell of blood in the air, the undried blood on the ground, and the corpses of the rebels in the distance who had no time to restrain themselves all recounted the terrible battles that had taken place here.

There were four gates in total, but the other three gates were deep, so the rebels' main attack direction was just one of the east gates.

After Zhang Yun made an inspection, he began to assign tasks to the generals.

"Zhao Hu Wang Zhong's first and second squads stay at the east gate, the third and fourth squads are responsible for the other three gates, and the fifth squad is used as a reserve team to support the battle everywhere at any time."

The generals nodded their heads in approval of this assignment.

In addition to Zhao Hu's first squad in the Changning army, the most effective team is the second squad.

After Xiao Ruxun learned that Zhang Yun was so arranged, the pressure on his body was much less.

After explaining a few words to the henchmen defending the city, he went straight back to his barracks and fell asleep, he hadn't closed his eyes for many days, and now that the rebels had retreated and Zhang Yun arrived, he could finally rest.

Shaanxi Ningxia border.

Wei Xuezeng had already arrived here with a large army at this time, and when he learned that Zhang Yun had entered Pingyu, the people under his command were impatient.

"My lord, I ask myself to bring 50,000 soldiers and horses into Ningxia first." A tall man stepped forward and said.

This person was Li Yun, the former deputy commander of Ningxia, who happened to be out of Ningxia City when the rebels rebelled, so he escaped a catastrophe.

Wei Xuezeng saw that he took the initiative to ask for help, and he didn't want Zhang Yun to take the lead, so he nodded and said: "Well, since you want to break the thief as soon as possible, then you should take 50,000 horses to Ningxia first." ”

"I now appoint you as the acting chief soldier of Ningxia, and I hope you will not live up to my expectations of you."

"Li Yun thanked you." Li Yun hurriedly knelt down and replied.

Because of the excitement, the voice was a little trembling.

Wei Xuezeng waved his hand, and Li Yun withdrew, and after leading 50,000 horses, he went straight to Ningxia.

"Lord Commander, I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat the rebels at this point." One lieutenant replied with a little concern.

"You know what? I lost Ningxia, and if the blame comes down, I will not be able to escape the involvement. ”

"As long as we can take the first credit this time, I will not only be able to exonerate myself from responsibility, but maybe I will also be promoted."

In the end, Li Yun began to enjoy the future.

The lieutenant wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Li Yun waving his hand.

"That Zhang Yun Xiao'er dared to enter Ningxia with 5,000 people, what are my 50,000 people afraid of, you don't need to say much."

"I'll take care of everything by myself."

"Boom." Suddenly there was a thunderclap in the sky, and then a heavy rain poured down.

"Find a high place and set up camp." Seeing this heavy rain, Li Yun secretly said that he was unlucky, and commanded the soldiers to start camping.

Just as Li Yun was encamping, a few scouts suddenly appeared not far away, and after noting down the location, they disappeared.

"General, there is a group of officers and soldiers on the opposite side, with more than 50,000 people, and the banner is under the word Li." A scout knelt down.

"Hahaha......"

"God help me, that eighty percent is Li Yun, I have worked with him for many years, and he is a rice bucket when he leads troops to fight." Bi Chengen wiped the rain from his face and laughed.

Bi Yun on the side could hear that Li Yun was also secretly relieved.

"Big brother, let's go to the camp tonight and kill him by surprise."

Bi Chengen smiled and nodded after hearing this, they waited here for several days to eat dry food for a few days, just to wait for a fat sheep of the right size.

Now that you are sending the fat on your lips, how can you be willing to give up.

"Tonight's third watch dinner, and then, I will rush over with people."

Li Yun military camp.

Li Yun shook the rain on his body and scolded: "This damn thief, Lao Tzu just arrived in Ningxia and had this kind of thing." ”

"Quick, drain the water out of me."

"Isn't the general going to build a fence tonight?" An adjutant general came in and asked respectfully.

"Build a fart, the shadow of the rebels?"

"You're a rebel, are you out to fight in this weather?" Li Yun scolded angrily.

The lieutenant had no choice but to retreat.

The sky is getting heavier and heavier, but the rain does not stop, and the loess in Ningxia is wet by the rain and then all becomes mud, and the soles of the feet are full of loess.

Li Yun used a branch to buckle the loess under his feet and scolded: "Where's the rice? If you want to starve to death, go cook for me. ”

The soldiers under the tent had to hurry to urge the gang to start cooking, because the firewood was wet by the rain and could not catch fire, so Li Yun had to eat dry food to deal with it.

He ate some dry food with a jug of wine, and fell asleep soundly.

Pingyu City.

Zhang Yun stretched out a hand to feel the continuous heavy rain, and secretly said in his heart: "This rain can't fall anymore." ”

The moat outside the city was about to reach the gates.
