Chapter 189 Zhang Xun versus Yin Ziqi, a fierce battle in Suiyang

above the sky.

In the cold wind of February, 130,000 Yan troops rushed to the head of Suiyang City like a tide.

Yin Ziqi had heard of Zhang Xun's name early, and hoped to seize the opportunity first, so he launched an all-out attack from the beginning.

Like Yongqiu, Zhang Xun once again visited the city in person and commanded the Tang army to fight hard day and night, repelling the Yan army's increasingly fierce attacks.

On the most recent day, they even blocked their opponents' crazy attacks twenty times in a row.

The rebels suffered heavy casualties, losing more than 20,000 people in half a month!

Due to heavy casualties and low morale, Yin Ziqi quietly broke camp and left on the night of the 16th day.

In the first stage of the Suiyang Defense Battle, under the command of Zhang Xun, the Tang army achieved a complete victory.

Two months later, Yin Ziqi, unwilling to fail, made a comeback.

Surprisingly, Zhang Xun did not defend this time, but led thousands of people to go out of the city to meet the enemy.

A mantis' arm acts as a chariot, a cricket flies like a tree - while Yin Ziqi was in disbelief,

He was also full of contempt for Tang Jun's behavior which was tantamount to death.

However, Zhang Xun personally held the battle flag and took the lead, shouting:

"I have been waiting for the kindness of the Netherlands, and now I have to die to serve the country!"

He led the crowd straight to the Yan army's formation. The officers and soldiers of the Tang Army were excited after hearing this, and everyone fought bravely to be the first. One person was as good as ten.

As the saying goes, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. As the Tang army rushed from left to right, the rebel formation was instantly disrupted.

Zhang Xunze led his troops to kill more than 30 generals of the Yan army and wiped out more than 3,000 enemies. After pursuing the victory for dozens of miles, they returned to the city victoriously.

Although the counterattack was successful, the rebels still had an absolute advantage in strength.

The situation of being outnumbered and outnumbered in Suiyang has not been alleviated. Facing the enemies all over the mountains and plains below the city, Zhang Xun is also thinking hard about how to win.

For a period of time after that, whenever night fell, Zhang Xun would order his men to beat drums and shout, as if he was going to leave the city and attack by force.

The commotion lasted from dusk to dawn. The rebels were highly nervous and were on guard all night, but the Tang army was never seen leaving the city.

After repeating this cycle for several days, Yin Ziqi concluded that the Suiyang defenders were just bluffing, so he relaxed his vigilance.

Zhang Xun, however, saw the opportunity and took advantage of the night to lead more than ten of his warriors, including Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun, to

Hundreds of fine cavalry suddenly left the city and attacked the Chinese army's tent where Yin Ziqi was.

Yin Ziqi: OK, OK, you are committing fraud, right? I didn’t take you to play like this.

Linghu Chao: Hehe, I don’t even know how many times he has played with me, I’ve been dumbfounded!

It turned out that when Zhang Xun saw the rebel force in large numbers, he started to think of "capture the thief first, capture the king". However, it was not easy to kill the leader of the thief among thousands of troops.

Although Zhang Xun caught the rebels off guard, and Yin Ziqi was shot in the left eye by a stray arrow in the rebel army, he finally managed to escape under the desperate protection of his own soldiers.

The one-eyed general Yin Ziqi makes the same mistake as Linghu Chao! It's a pity to lose, but the size gap between the two sides is too big after all.

The rebels are still heavily surrounding Suiyang. In July, half a year has passed since the war started.

Although Zhang Xun repeatedly attacked the invading enemies, under the heavy siege of the rebels, Suiyang's logistical supplies could not be guaranteed, and the problem of food shortage became increasingly prominent.

But even this small amount of food cannot maintain long-term supply.

As time went by, the food reserves were gradually depleted, and the soldiers defending the city could only eat broken rice mixed with bark, tea leaves, and paper to satisfy their hunger.

After more than half a year of hard fighting, although the Suiyang defenders annihilated tens of thousands of Yan's elite troops,

But it also paid the price of more than 5,000 casualties, and now there are only more than 1,600 people left in the city.

Yin Ziqi knew that Suiyang was about to run out of ammunition and food, so he stepped up his attack and dispatched infantry to charge.

They also formed a formation with ladders and carriages, and slowly approached the city wall.

Zhang Xun had taken precautions early. He dug numerous hidden holes in the city wall, stretched out iron hooks to fix the ladder, and then used gunpowder to ignite the wooden ladder.

Facing the cowhide-covered carriage, molten copper was poured down on the head of the tower. The carriage instantly caught fire, and the Yan army soldiers hiding inside wailed and turned into charcoal.

Yin Ziqi had exhausted all means of attacking the city and was at the end of his rope.

They simply dug long trenches around Suiyang and set up wooden fences, preparing to trap the Tang army in the city.

In mid-July, Suiyang was completely out of food, and there were only about 600 defenders left in the city.

At this time, although the neighboring Qiaojun, Pengcheng, and Linhuai were all garrisoned by Tang troops, the guards of the three cities looked at Suiyang being plunged into fire and water from a distance, but they were indifferent.

Seeing that there was no way to survive, Zhang Xun had no choice but to send out the powerful general Nan Jiyun and lead thirty elite cavalry to break out of the encirclement and take the initiative to ask for help from outside.

Nan Jiyun lived up to expectations. Surrounded by the rebels, he fought his way out and headed straight for the nearest Qiaojun.

However, Nan Jiyun fought desperately to break through, but Xu Shuji, who was stationed in the city, avoided seeing him. Finally, under Nan Jiyun's pleading, he

He reluctantly agreed to donate thousands of pieces of cloth, but Suiyang was short of soldiers and food, so what was the use of these pieces of cloth?

Nan Jiyun had no choice but to ask for help from Linhuai, where troops, food and grass were most abundant. As long as Suiyang was willing to lend a helping hand, Suiyang would be able to overcome the difficulties. However, the new Helan Jinming, the governor of Henan who was stationed in Linhuai, was particularly enthusiastic and led his people out of the city to greet him.

But when Nan Jiyun explained his intention, Helan Jinming immediately changed his face and replied calmly:

"The general has been out of the city for a long time. Suiyang should have fallen. It will be useless to send troops now."

As soon as this statement came out, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Although he did not agree to send troops, Helan Jinming still admired Nan Jiyun's loyalty and bravery very much.

She wholeheartedly wanted to keep him by her side and serve him, and even hosted a banquet to welcome him.

However, Nan Jiyun was so anxious that he didn't drink a drop of wine or eat a grain of rice during the dinner. Seeing that Helan Jin was talking about him clearly, he still had no intention of sending troops.

Nan Jiyun couldn't help but burst into tears and said:

"Suiyang is in danger, and the soldiers in the city have been without food for a long time.

Jiyun's food is hard to swallow, and now I feel unworthy of the coach's trust. I can only leave one finger to prove that I have been here. "

Nan Jiyun hated these young people who usually enjoyed the blessings of the people, but when the country was in crisis, they only cared about their own safety.

After mounting his horse, he turned around and shot an arrow at the pagoda in the city, shouting with hatred:

"If I defeat the thieves and return them, I will definitely destroy Helan. That's why I set this goal!"

……

Under the canopy, all emperors and generals of ancient and modern times shed tears.

Great Qin.

Young Master Fusu said with tears,

"What a loyal man and a true man. Mr. Zhang, it turned out to be so difficult."

Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng said angrily,

"Are the so-called Tang Dynasty all people who just live an ignoble existence? Why is it necessary to save such a court?"

Big man.

Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and others had tears in their eyes. Huo Qubing couldn't help but say:

"General Nan is a man! Alas! Hateful, so hateful!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che could not help but gritted his teeth and said:

"If you refuse to save someone, how are you different from a traitor? Even if you can't send troops? Can't you provide food and grass assistance? You really deserve to be killed, you really deserve to die!"

Three Kingdoms.

Guan Yu's face was moved. He looked at the tough man above the sky and couldn't help but said in a trembling voice:

"Guan Yu admires the Duke's loyalty and bravery, but his allies are all just living in vain. How despicable!"

Zhang Fei also said with a sad face:

"Brother, it turns out that it's not easy for General Zhang. It's too difficult."

Zhuge Kongming also shook his head and sighed:

“There is a strong enemy outside, there is no food and grass inside, and the friendly troops are dying without saving them.

Although death has been the only hard thing since ancient times, there are also things more tragic than death. Zhang Xun is afraid that he has no choice but to exchange his name for the safety of the world!

Mr. Zhang... it's too painful. "

Tang Dynasty, Zhenguan period.

Li Shimin looked at everything on the sky coldly. The rebels were so powerful that the friendly forces refused to save them, leaving only these loyal ministers struggling to support them.

Li Longji, you piece of shit is trying to be a woolen emperor, you will die!

　This is Xiaobai’s repayment for yesterday’s extra update!
