"Lu Qiu Xiao is deaf and misleading the country, if Suiyang City is broken, I will behead it!" Zhang Hao rushed to the crown and shouted loudly, he didn't expect that there would be people who would dare to disobey his orders in such a national event. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"How was Suiyang City when you left?" It was too late to hold Lu Qiuxiao responsible, Zhang Hao hurriedly asked again, if Suiyang couldn't hold on, then he would have to make another plan.

"Before leaving, General Nan Jiyun, the general of Suiyang, was leading his troops to break through the encirclement to Zhenyuan to ask for help from my family, but unfortunately there were no soldiers and horses in my family's hands; Later, General Nan heard that the Lord ordered Lu Qiu Xiao to send reinforcements, and immediately rushed to the direction of Haozhou to prepare to meet him, but unfortunately there was no trace of reinforcements for several days. So General Nan had no choice but to return to the true source and let General Li share this information with the adults. The messenger explained the matter in detail, "Later, General Nan returned to Suiyang to continue to defend the city, and Suiyang was still impregnable when the little one left. ”

"That's fine." The generals in the tent breathed a sigh of relief at this time, if the rebels were allowed to attack Jianghuai, the consequences would be unimaginable, and it seemed that it was still too late.

"Zhang Zhongcheng led the Suiyang army and civilians to defend the lonely city from the beginning of spring, and now he has fought more than 100 battles with Yin Ziqi laughing to death, killing more than 130,000 rebels with more than 6,000 troops, and even Yin Ziqi was shot in the left eye by General Nan." Speaking of this, the messenger's tone became more and more agitated, such a record is really unbelievable, "More than a month ago, the food and grass in the city were exhausted, and there was not much left of the troops, General Nan went out of the city to ask for help, and Helan entered Mington's troops and did not advance; Although my general has the heart to help, but the real source of soldiers and horses is scarce, can only give General Nan a hundred good horses, Ningling's General Lian Tan supported 3,000 soldiers and horses, plus General Nan found a thousand soldiers and horses from other places and grain and grass, Suiyang is still supported so far; But now that the food and soldiers and horses in the city have been exhausted, please send rescue troops as soon as possible! With that, the messenger fell to his knees with a grunt.

"Zhang Zhongcheng, Xu Lingwei and others are really gods." Hearing that the battle in Suiyang was so tragic, Zhang Xun and others had caused so much damage to the rebels with thousands of troops, and Zhang Hao and others were dumbfounded.

"It's a pity that traitorous ministers such as Helan Jinming and Lu Qiuxiao misled the country and let Zhang Zhongcheng fight alone." Thinking of the various deeds of the imperial court since Tianbao, Zhang Hao was sad and indignant, first Yang Guozhong forced the emperor to force Ge Shuhan to rush out of Tongguan to meet the enemy, resulting in the defeat of the Tang army, and the danger of clearing the customs was broken by the rebels, and Chang'an also fell into the hands of An Lushan. Now there are faint officials like Helan Jinming and Lu Qiuxiao who almost gave Jianghuai's anointed land to the rebels; Dumb and deaf, loyal and good, how unfair God is.

"Wait and rest assured, this official will personally lead the reinforcements to Suiyang." After a few sighs of emotion, Zhang Hao helped the messenger up and said, "You will go down first to rest and rest first, and lead the way to Suiyang for this official early tomorrow morning." ”

"Thank you, little one, my lord." The messenger cried with joy, choked up and said, he is also a family near Zhenyuan, his parents and family are around, and he knows the consequences of letting the rebels break through Suiyang, and now he heard that Zhang Hao is finally willing to send reinforcements, he is finally a little more relieved.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Hao left behind the large group of men and horses, and rushed to Suiyang with the elite fast horses under his tent.

And what is the situation in Suiyang City now? After a day of hard fighting, Li You dragged his tired body to the place where the generals were meeting, and Xu Yuan, who had lost a little weight, looked at the document in front of him and kept shaking his head and sighing, "Lord Zhongcheng, today my Suiyang soldiers and civilians have been killed and injured by hundreds, and there is not much food left in the city." ”

Li You brought 10,000 stone of grain, which was exchanged for about 600,000 kilograms in the 21st century (the difference between one stone in history is quite large, and one stone here is equal to 59.2 kilograms), and there were more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, and less than 30 kilograms were distributed to each person; even though there were continuous sacrifices of soldiers and civilians, in addition to cattle, sheep and horses to eat, but the surplus grain in the city was not much now; and the 100,000 arrows had long been consumed, and the defenders could only take advantage of the night to collect the arrows left by the rebels.

"There are only 2,000 soldiers left in the city, and the people are less than 10,000, and most of these 10,000 people are old, weak, women and children." Xu Yuan continued, "Grain and grass. The ordnance is also exhausted, my lord, I'm afraid this Suiyang City can't hold on, for the sake of the people in the city, let's break through as soon as possible, right? ”

"As you said, most of the people in the city are old, weak, sick and disabled, even if they can highlight the encirclement of Yin Ziqi's army, how far can they run?" Zhang Xun shook his head and said, "Under the pursuit of the thief army, I am afraid that there will be no one in a hundred of these more than 10,000 people, but if they stay in the city, they may still have a chance of survival." ”

With the food brought by Li You, there was no large-scale cannibalistic tragedy in Suiyang City like in history, but if they were allowed to flee, they would definitely not be able to outrun Yin Ziqi's cavalry, Xu Yuan was also worried for a while before he said this, and after being reminded by Zhang Xunyi, everyone was speechless.

"My lord, although we are guarding the city at any time, Yin Ziqi is also not happy. In the past few days, we have killed more than 10,000 rebels, and the soldiers and horses in Yin Ziqi's hands are now less than 50,000, and the soldiers have been fighting hard for months, and they are already physically and mentally exhausted. Li You knew that Zhang Hao's reinforcements would arrive sooner or later, so he couldn't help but remind.

"It's October now, and we've been trapped in Suiyang since the beginning of spring, if there are reinforcements, I'm afraid they'll come long ago." When it came to the reinforcements, all the generals were on fire, Lei Wanchun couldn't help but say.

"If Zhang Congzhou (Zhang Hao's character is from Zhou) is handsome, he will definitely come to Suiyang." Zhang Xun is still full of confidence in Zhang Hao, "It's just that we have to find a way to hold on until the day when reinforcements arrive." ”

Everyone fell silent again, yes, as long as reinforcements arrive, they can usher in a big victory, but now there are only 2,000 people left in the city who can fight, although the rebels outside the city have died more than 100,000, but they still have 50,000 troops, and the defenders in the city can't even stand on the city walls, can they hold out until that day?

And Zhang Xun, who has always been full of wisdom, seems to have no way at this time, no matter how exquisite the strategy of defending the city is, after all, it is necessary for people to carry it out, and now they don't have enough manpower, no matter how good the method is, it is useless.

Suddenly, Li You thought of what he had seen and heard on the battlefield in the past few days...... It seems that our army does not have a chance to win? Now may be the time to show your last hole cards! (To be continued.) )
