After recovering some strength a little, Li Youqiang climbed up to the top of the city, only to see Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan and others looking at the direction of Yin Ziqi's camp from a distance, and heard the footsteps Zhang Xun turned his head, "Nanba, thanks to you today, the thief army was killed and injured tens of thousands of people in the first battle, and suffered such a big blow one after another, the morale of the thief army must be low, and then we can finally take a breath." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Oh? How did Lord Zhongcheng know? Seeing Zhang Xun's determined expression, Li You couldn't help but be a little curious, the last time the Beiwei army attacked for the first time, it also killed and injured tens of thousands, but the rebels still launched an attack the next day.

"Nanba, let's see." Zhang Xun pointed to the rebel camp from afar, "The thieves are in the camp with untidy flags, the soldiers are in chaos, the supervising team is overwhelmed, and Yin Ziqi's handsome tent is crowded, this must be begging him to suspend the attack, and there are ......" Zhang Xun said one by one, and everyone couldn't help nodding when they heard it.

"In this way, I can finally rest for two days." Li You also temporarily put aside his worries, a few days in the middle of Suiyang City, than leading the Han delegation to run on the grassland for a month, although he was also in danger of the army when he was on the grassland, but after all, the grassland is vast and sparsely populated, and sometimes he can't meet a Hun for a few days, it will be like the current battle all day long without a moment of rest, the consumption of people is too great.

"Since the beginning of spring, I have been holding on to Suiyang City, and now it has been almost half a year; In the past six months, he has fought hundreds of battles with the thief army, killing countless thief troops. Xu Yuan was also quite emotional at this moment, "We have also killed and injured tens of thousands of thieves before, but if we talk about killing many enemies, we have to count the two days that Nanba has returned, and then count the 30,000 thieves killed and injured in these days, I'm afraid that there are less than 100,000 corporal Yin Ziqi's soldiers left, right?" ”

Yin Ziqi originally had 150,000 troops under his command, plus successive additions may reach 180,000 people, these are the remnants of a hundred battles who have lived in the border for a long time, and they are the core force under the command of An Lushan.

Although Suiyang City is small, they do not dare to bypass it, if the army leaves, Zhang Xun will definitely lead the army in Suiyang City to kill from their rear; And if some soldiers are left to guard Suiyang City, it is not feasible for others to detour into Jianghuai, if there are fewer people left, it is useless, and if there are more left, they are afraid that the troops attacking Jianghuai will be insufficient, so even if Yin Ziqi has suffered heavy losses, he can only nail it here, and only by taking Suiyang City can they continue to advance.

"It's a pity that there are only about 2,000 soldiers and horses left in the city today." Inspector Zhang sighed and said, Yin Ziqi's rebels have suffered heavy losses, and they are the same, not only have more than 4,000 soldiers have lost more than 4,000, but only half of the original population of more than 40,000 people in the city remains.

"Lord Zhongcheng, you have been fighting hard for days, so let's rest for a while?" Li You couldn't help but persuade, Zhang Xun's face was extremely haggard now, it seemed that a gust of wind could blow it down, and there were not a few teeth left in his mouth, all of which were broken when he gritted his teeth and scolded the rebels when he was defending the city before.

"Every time I cried out, my eyes cracked and my teeth flowed, and my teeth were shattered." This is a record of Zhang Xun's demeanor when he defended the city in the history books, if there is no reason to cross over, Suiyang City will be captured by the rebels because of the lack of food in a few months, and Zhang Xun and others will be captured in front of Yin Ziqi; Yin Ziqi asked Zhang Xun, "Every time Wenjun fights, his canths are cracked and his teeth are broken, why is it here?" ”

Zhang Xun replied angrily, "I want to swallow the thief, but I can't do it!"

Yin Ziqi ordered his soldiers to stuff a knife into Zhang Xun's mouth to check how many teeth were left, and there were only three remaining teeth, which showed Zhang Xun's fierceness.

Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan, Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun, Yao Xu, Jia Ben and others were loyal and unyielding after being captured, and were finally killed by Yin Ziqi, and later generations called them "Suiyang Six Loyal Martyrs", built temples to worship, and incense continued all year round, and Yin Ziqi was also exterminated by the Tang Army soon after, and left a stench for 10,000 years after his death.

"For Zhang Suiyang's teeth, for Yan Changshan's tongue." Li You couldn't help but secretly recite the sentences in Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteousness" in the Southern Song Dynasty in his heart, Zhang patrolled the city and bled blood, and his teeth were broken; Changshan Taishou Yan Gaoqing (calligrapher Yan Zhenqing's cousin) was originally a subordinate of An Lushan, when An Lushan rebelled, he led the army to hold on to Changshan, and after being captured, he scolded the thief more than once, even if his tongue was broken by the rebels, he did not stop until he died.

It is with such loyal people that the Tang Dynasty did not fall into the hands of traitors, and the Central Plains civilization did not become a barbarian killing field again, Li You looked at Zhang Xun in front of him and secretly made up his mind that since he came to Suiyang, he must save the lives of these six loyal martyrs no matter what, and prevent the tragedy of history from repeating.

"Yes, Lord Zhongcheng, you go and rest for a while, I am waiting in the city, and nothing can happen." Xu Yuan also followed the persuasion and said, he and Zhang Xun were both Jinshi in the twenty-third year of Kaiyuan, Zhang Xun was in high school to explore flowers, he was far behind, so Xu Yuan admired Zhang Xun very much, Zhang Xun just arrived in Suiyang, Xu Yuan, who was the Taishou of Suiyang, handed over the power of the city to Zhang Xun, and he was willing to serve as his deputy.

"Okay, I'll go and rest for a while, just leave half of the men in the city to guard against the thieves, and everyone else should go down and get a good night's sleep." After Zhang Xun finished speaking, he looked at Li You, "Nanba, you also go down to the city to rest." ”

Li You was about to refuse, when he suddenly heard Zhang Xun say again, "Wait until the night to have something you are busy." ”

"Oh? But you want to go out of the city and attack the thief army? Li You's eyes lit up, and he obediently followed Zhang Xun down to the city, returned to the barracks and began to rest.

When the moon was in the middle of the sky, Li You was woken up from his dream, and he woke up with hundreds of elites of the Beiwei army, who replaced them with black men and followed Zhang Xun to the top of the city.

"But you want to take advantage of the darkness to attack the enemy camp?" Li Yue's eyes flashed with excitement, as if the daytime fight had not yet made him enjoyable.

"No, if we sneak up on the enemy camp, I'm afraid it's not just us." Li You shook his head and replied, he had already guessed some of Zhang Xun's plan.

Everyone was busy on the city wall for a while, everything was ready, and suddenly there was a thunderous drum sound next to them, which broke the silence of the night and reached Yin Ziqi's camp.

"The Tang army has come to attack the enemy camp?" In the rebel camp, the eyes of countless sentries looked at the Suiyang city wall. (To be continued.) )
