Please ask me to be the emperor

The rebel army has four thousand elites, most of whom are servants carefully raised by the Yulin generals, and the other half are elite soldiers selected from tens of thousands of Jiubian elites.

Not to mention that these more than 10,000 cavalry bandits can fight even if they encounter Hou Jin's elite "Bai Baya La", so what's the point of boasting?

Seeing that Wang Ding and others were going to hunt down the captive chieftain, Zhang Shun did not retreat. He only ordered his soldiers to lead the animals and pull the baggage carts to the left and right in front and back.

Zhang Shun, his men, and his cavalry were all hiding in the chariot formation and moving slowly.

Except that the vehicle used was not the sidecar commonly used by the Ming army, Zhang Shun's method was exactly the method used by the Ming army's car camp in the past.

When they move, they form a formation; when they stand, they form a camp; when they move and stop with the army, they have a sufficient city.

The rebel army had just marched three to five miles, and before long, two to three thousand horsemen appeared on the horizon.

The terrain between the vicinity of Huamachi and Lingzhou is flat, which is conducive to cavalry galloping, but it is also convenient for car camps to move around.

The other party came back again and again, expecting to see an advantage, but seeing that there was no opportunity to take advantage of him, he wandered around for half a day and then gradually left.

Not knowing what happened to Wang Jinyi and Wang Ding, Zhang Shun just led his cavalry and rushed towards Huamachi.

When the sun set, the rebels finally arrived at Huamachi, and then they saw the patrol officers and soldiers wandering outside the city from a distance.

When Zhang Shun entered Huamachi City, the generals in the city saw that it was Zhang Shun, the "God of Plague" again. They were frightened and hurriedly apologized: "I don't dare to go to the rescue unless I am the last general. In fact, there are only two people in the city." We have 932 soldiers and 215 horses, which are not enough just to defend the city. We dare not leave the city lightly and invite disaster!"

"Okay, get up!" Zhang Shun waved his hand and said, "This happened because I just took over Shaanxi and was unaware of the bandits. Why should I blame the general alone?"

Then Zhang Shun swaggered and sat on the seat, pointed with his hand and said: "It turns out that the soldiers stationed here died and fled, and there was a vacancy."

"This person is called Kong Wenzheng after the sage Kong. In the future, he will be the deputy envoy of the Ningxia Guard Guard. In addition to military affairs, he is also responsible for the salt affairs of the Big and Small Salt Ponds, Huama Pond and other places. You must be familiar with him!"

"Ah? I've seen Deputy Ambassador Kong!" The general saw a man following behind Zhang Shun and quickly stepped forward and saluted.

After the mid-Ming Dynasty, civil society was used to control military affairs, and the general practice of governors and governors commanding the general and deputy generals, and military preparations commanding generals and garrison were generally formed.

This person was assigned to be the right-hand general guarding Ningxia East Road. On weekdays, he had two "big men" in charge of rectifying the military grain road in Hedong, Ningxia, and rectifying Yulin West Road and being the deputy envoy of Yanfa Farming.

Now that two people have become one, although he is still the "uncle", he is easier to serve, right?

"How was the autumn defense in the past?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but frowned and asked.

"In the past, the imperial court went to war in autumn, and the governors of the three sides led 5,000 to more than 10,000 guest troops to garrison the west city." The general responded quickly when he heard this.

"The General Soldier of Guyuan led his troops to garrison Pinglu City to guard against any mistakes."

Zhang Shun listened to what he said in a very orderly manner, but he was experienced in military matters and had quite a bit of knowledge.

He couldn't help but briefly describe what happened on the road, and then asked: "Why do you think the bandits came this time, and where do they want to go?"

Hearing this, the general frowned and said, "The pirates who came here this time are not evil. If they only came for plunder, they must have gone towards Pinglu City."

"If the plan is too big, I'm afraid he won't go to Lingzhou!"

It turns out that Pinglu City was the place where Pinglu guarded Qianhu, and it was the only way for Taolu to go deep into Guyuan, Pingliang and other places from the rear of Ningxia.

Lingzhou is the place where Lingzhou guards thousands of households. It is located on the east bank of the Yellow River. "The big river embraces the flow and is surrounded by mountains." "It controls Heshuo in the north and Qingliang in the south." It is the gateway to Xia Town.

If someone really has the idea, is it possible that they want to seize Ningxia and follow the old practices of Xixia?

Nowadays, there is only Cao Wenzhao's battalion in Ningxia Town. Although the officials and the people are all Yulin generals, they are separated from each other and do not know their loyalty or treachery.

If I hadn't been "on patrol" this time, I might have let them succeed.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but look up and down at the right commander of Ningxia East Road, and couldn't help but smile: "You are very good, I don't know how to call you?"

"Liu Yanjie, the last general, knows something about the situation of the captives!" The general responded quickly when he heard Zhang Shun's inquiry.

"Okay, you just have to guard the Huama Pond while I go meet the captor for a while!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but stand up suddenly.

"Your Highness King Qin, it's getting late now. Why don't we let the soldiers and horses rest for a while? It won't be too late to set off tomorrow." The general Liu Yanjie couldn't help but hurriedly advised.

You can't get on your way even if you're blind and blind.

"No need, soldiers are valuable and quick!" Zhang Shun refused, "Let someone prepare some soup. After eating, we will set off immediately!"

That night, Zhang Shun ordered his soldiers to go to Lingzhou, leaving behind all the baggage and bulky items. They only carried weapons, armor, and five days of dry food, and headed straight to Lingzhou overnight.

There is a distance of two hundred miles from Huamachi to Lingzhou. Calculating that the cavalry can travel seventy miles a day, it will take at least three days.

Zhang Shun traveled lightly and arrived at Lingzhou City on the evening of the second day.

When the rebels first arrived outside Lingzhou City, they saw flames rising into the sky and the sound of killings happening one after another.

Zhang Shun couldn't help being stunned, and quickly ordered: "Enter the city, anyone who dares to resist will be killed!"

Did someone really attack Lingzhou City?

This Lingzhou city is seven miles around, but it only has two gates, the north and the south.

When the rebels arrived at the north gate, they saw a group of captives guarding a group of war horses. Seeing the rebels suddenly appearing in front of them, they couldn't help but get on their horses in a hurry.

"Kill!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this. He was worried that the rebel army would be useless, and you would come to his door.

Xiao Si, Wang Qiying and others led their troops to kill the bandits who were guarding them, and quickly sent people to collect the horses.

Zhang Shun also knew that now was not the time to check this, so he quickly left Wang Qiying, Xiao Si and other five hundred riders outside, and led Du Hongyu, Wukong and others into the city.

How could the bandits who were fighting in the city expect that someone would suddenly kill people from outside the city?

They didn't even have anyone to guard the city gate, and they were immediately attacked by the rebels.

Du Hongyu quickly led three hundred armored soldiers to clear the way in front, killing gods when gods blocked them, and Buddha when they blocked Buddhas. For a moment, he was brave and invincible.

It's just that after killing for a while, it didn't move.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Shun quickly stepped forward and asked.

"It won't work. I have been marching and fighting hard for days, but my strength is exhausted!" Du Hongyu waved his hand and leaned against the wall on the street, panting.

"Turns out he's a coward. Master, my old grandson's hands are itchy. Why don't you let me go forward and kill for a while?" Wukong couldn't help but volunteered.

Originally, after Zhang Shun suffered several big losses, he tried to keep Wukong by his side as a precaution.

It's just that this time there was a reason, and the two hundred personal guards around him were still there.

Zhang Shun hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, be careful and don't act recklessly!"

Wukong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he got Zhang Shun's permission.

He quickly put on a double layer of iron armor and headed towards the Lingzhou City to kill the general with a force as strong as a broken bamboo.
