The rebels in the city only felt that they had not slept long, and were once again awakened by the sound of trumpets gathered over the city, mixed with a low noise, which seemed to come from the walls on the northwest side, and could even be seen in the distance under the moonlight, and even the heads and torches moving back and forth on the city could be seen, as if they were mobilizing defenses.

However, the doubts did not bother the people for long, and under the great appeasement of the officers at all ranks, until the sound of the horn, which lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour, gradually died down, and there was no large-scale commotion in the city.

This made Chen Jingxuan, who was woken up by the sound of the horn, feel a little surprised, but it is relieved to think about it, if the group of people under his command can't even solve these things, then he doesn't have to defend this Yazhou City anymore.

Leaning on the head of the bed, Chen Jingxuan, who was woken up twice, had no sleep, and couldn't help but immerse himself in the memories of recent years. In his opinion, climbing from a low-level ordinary person with no background to this step is really enough to make others envious and proud.

But even now, Chen Jingxuan can't understand why the Tang Empire, which has long been riddled with empty shelves, can still stand tall in the wind and rain, and why even the salt dealer Huang Chao, who has swept most of the Tang Dynasty within a few years, has not been able to give the Tang Dynasty a fatal blow in the end.

And what he can't understand the most is why the plan that he has been planning for a long time, and it can be said that there will be no mistakes at all, will fall short at a critical moment, or even completely fail. Chen Jingxuan once put himself in his shoes, if it was not Tang Xizong but himself who was in Chang'an City back then, he was completely confident that he could repel or even exterminate the salt dealer Huang Chao. Even if you take a step back, you can completely rely on the perfect defense facilities of Tongguan Tianbao and Kyoto Chang'an to consume the salt dealer Huang Chao to death.

And all of this, after all, is if. What is really in front of me is that he killed a Cheng Biting Jin halfway, the envoy of Jiannan Dao, and Lin Feng, the Marquis of Zhongwu. Every time I think of this, Chen Jingxuan will recall the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty more than 100 years ago, in contrast, Chen Jingxuan does not feel that he is stronger than An Lushan at all, but in the same way, today's Tang Dynasty is not as strong as the Tang Dynasty when it was in the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty.

And the only thing in common is that Lin Feng, the current Jiannan Dao Jiedu, is as powerful as Guo Ziyi in the Shuofang Jiedu in the Anshi Rebellion, not only greater than his own strength, but even stronger than any or several forces in the entire Tang Dynasty.

The most critical point is what Chen Jingxuan has never been able to understand, why in a short period of time, Datang suddenly rose such an unstoppable force.

In fact, with Chen Jingxuan's thoughts, he would no longer understand this problem at all.

Datang is already too old, old roots and old branches, too much need fresh blood to replace, if it continues, the final result can only be withered and died. And Chen Jingxuan is still fantasizing, just to replace the position of Tang Xizong, and the "blood" in the body of the old tree of the Tang Dynasty is not the point.

With the passage of time, Chen Jingxuan slowly leaned on the head of the bed with a tired mood and fell asleep deeply.

In the dream, he saw a group of young people, a group of young people who were so young that they made him terrible and made him incredible! It was an army composed entirely of young people, fighting in all directions, sweeping through the bandits, and replanting the scarlet Datang battle flags on the territory that should have belonged to the Tang Dynasty.

This night, Chen Jingxuan slept very deeply, so deep that he was awakened by the sound of the horn several times after that.

。。。

The next day, Lin Feng still led the Feng family army to attack as originally planned, leaving the camp in the afternoon as usual, and returning to the camp after nightfall. In comparison, the real number of people who went out of the camp this time was less than 1,000, but the banner carried was 3,000 more people, and from the city of Chad, there were definitely no less than 10,000 people, but if you take a closer look, you can still compare the scale and find that the real number of people should not be consistent with the banner.

But even if someone saw that it was like General Wang's report, General Wang didn't dare to rush out to fight a decisive battle, after all, he only received an order to hold the city, and he did not receive an order to fight to the death with the Feng family's army.

That night, from Hai Shi to dawn the next day, almost every hour would be attacked by the Feng family's army on both sides, and every time they only heard the sound of the trumpet, they did not see their army. But Chen Jingxuan didn't dare to relax his guard, and the soldiers below had no choice but to follow the rhythm of the Feng family's army's "attack" and run around all night, resulting in a whole day of lack of energy the next day.

Before dawn, through the thin dust mist, the rebels on the northern city once again saw the dust raised by the thousands of Fengjia troops when they retreated, because the distance was too far, and the fog was obscured, no one saw the large branches dragged on the tails of the retreating cavalry.

On the third day, it was still the same, Lin Feng was responsible for the attack in the afternoon, and there were only four hundred people left in the upper reaches of the tributary of the Qingyi River in the south of Yazhou City, and they were still responsible for the harassment after nightfall, and now they had a horn in their hands, and the evacuated companions also left all the remaining dry food they carried, which was still enough for everyone to eat for two days, that is to say, these four hundred people could still rely on the horn and dry food in their hands, and they could continue to "attack" Yazhou City in the next two days.

It seems that the harassment of the Feng family army is a little painless, and on the surface it has not caused any substantial damage and blow to the rebels at all, but in fact it is not, the rebels are dragging their tired bodies when defending the city, and they have to pay attention to a mutton skewer or sugar gourd that was accidentally skewered with crossbow arrows. At night, it is even more dangerous, whether it is sleeping or guarding the city at night, they are always worried, lest they suddenly be captured by the "pervasive" Feng family army in their eyes.

After a few days, the exhausted rebels finally began to fall ill with the help of the hot weather, and at first there were still a few people, but later, I don't know if it was because of the infection, or there were deliberately pretending to be sick in the crowd, and a large number of soldiers fell ill, until finally, after almost all the military doctors unanimously identified, overwork and extreme fatigue led to illness, plus the summer infection, if not curbed as soon as possible, it is very likely to cause a large-scale plague in a short time.

Subsequently, Chen Jingxuan found a very important problem, although there are many medicines hoarded in the army, but there are not many for the treatment of this "strange disease", although he ordered the medicine of the whole city to be collected in the Jiedu Mansion, in the face of hundreds of sick soldiers, and even the large-scale plague that the army of 100,000 is about to face, it is a drop in the bucket, or even a drop in the ocean.

In desperation, Chen Jingxuan had no choice but to gather all the high-level generals under his command and hold a major military meeting in the Jiedu Mansion to discuss how to deal with the immediate crisis.
