The moon and stars are scarce, there is not a trace of dark clouds in the sky, and it seems that tomorrow will be another good weather, but there is no trace of joy on the face of Zhang Xun at the head of the city; Looking at the little fires in Yin Ziqi's camp in the distance, he said slowly, "Nanba seriously injured Yin Ziqi today, with his temperament, he will definitely command the army to attack tomorrow, and Suiyang City will face a hard battle again." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"If it weren't for Nanba's arrow, where would you have won today?" Although he knew that Nan Jiyun would not misunderstand, Xu Yuan still explained, "In today's battle, our army killed no less than 10,000 thieves out of the city, and even the thief army died under the city. ”

"Yes, without more than 10,000 elites, the thief army can be said to have injured the foundation, and Nanba has made a great contribution." Zhang Xun also echoed.

"It's all Lord Zhongcheng's clever plan, but it's a pity that that arrow failed to kill Yin Ziqi." If Yin Ziqi was dead, the thief army camp opposite would not be as quiet as it is now, Li You said and looked at Zhang Xun, "How should we deal with it tomorrow, I still hope that Lord Zhongcheng will order." ”

"Tomorrow's thief army will inevitably attack the whole army, and we can only fight to the death in the city." Despite facing a big battle, Zhang Xun's tone was still flat, "Fortunately, there are arrows sent by General Pan, plus the income from going out of the city today, we don't have to worry about the lack of arrows for the time being, tomorrow's battle will definitely be able to greatly kill and injure the thief army." ”

"Other equipment also needs to be prepared, rolling wood and stones, gold juice ash bottles, these need to be prepared." Saying that, Xu Yuan couldn't sit still, "The lower official will retire first, go and bring people to prepare these things, tomorrow's battle will definitely be far better than in the past, I am afraid that the things originally prepared are not enough, and I have to prepare more." ”

After saying that, Xu Yuan left in a hurry, went down to the city to gather the people to prepare materials to defend the city, Li You suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his heart, and said something to Zhang Xun.

"How can there be such a sharp weapon?" Zhang Xun was a little excited, but he regained his composure in an instant, he shook his head regretfully and said, "It's a pity that Yin Ziqi will definitely be much more cautious after this catastrophe, this sharp weapon will not be useful for the time being, let's wait and talk." Nanba, you will guard the west gate tomorrow with General Pan,"

"Yes, the last general will not let a thief climb the city with a breath of air." Li You replied categorically that the rebels were attacking from the west, and the largest number of troops were gathered at the west gate, so Zhang Xun also put the most powerful generals and the most elite soldiers under his command at the west gate, and Lei Wanchun, Jia Ben, Yao Yu and other generals led their troops to garrison the eastern, southern, and northern city walls; Zhang Xun himself is ready to support the side in crisis with mobile forces.

After the arrangement, all the generals did not go down to rest, but followed Zhang Xun to carefully inspect every corner of the city wall to ensure that there would be no unexpected changes in tomorrow's battle; While inspecting Zhang Xun, he said all kinds of essentials of defending the city, which made Li You feel very benefited from listening to it.

If this mission can be completed, he will probably be able to far surpass the generals in defending the city, right? Li You listened to Zhang Xun's narration when he entered Beijing, and he was afraid that he would miss a word.

"The most important thing to defend a city is to defend it, if this is the case, the enemy army can spend all its energy on attacking the city, so you must constantly choose to find opportunities to harass the enemy army. Tomorrow the enemy is strong, and I can't wait to get out of the city, but tonight we can't let them sleep soundly. After that, Zhang Xun called Li You, "Nanba, you and General Pan, Wan Chun and others will come together to beat these big drums; Ling Wei (Xu Yuan's character), you take people down with ropes; Yao Yu, the two of you led the soldiers to wave the flag and shout on the city, making a posture of attack; Jia Ben, you lead people to open the city gate, and lead three hundred cavalry to run back and forth at the city gate, don't rush too far......"

Everything was arranged, it was almost three o'clock in the hour, and in Yin Ziqi's camp, in addition to the sentry on duty at night, more than 100,000 troops had already fallen asleep, and the daytime battle consumed too much physical strength, so they slept extremely drowsy tonight.

Suddenly, there was a thunderous drum sound from Suiyang City, which woke them up from their sleep, and then they could vaguely hear the sound of fighting and horses' hooves, which suddenly made these people sleepy.

"Did the Tang Army kill you?" Countless rebels turned over and asked, as soon as they thought of the terrible army during the day, they couldn't help but want to run away, and in a hurry to fight such an opponent, how could they have a chance of victory?

The rebel camp was suddenly in chaos, countless soldiers ran around in a daze, and some even accidentally hit torches, causing a fire in the camp.

"General, Zhang Xun is out of the city!" A soldier panicked and broke into Yin Ziqi's tent and shouted.

"What are you panicking about, how many soldiers and horses does Zhang Xuncai have? How can I go out of the city and attack us? Yin Ziqi, who had been in battle for a long time, was not frightened by the sudden sound of drums, fighting, and horses' hooves, "If Zhang Xun really attacked us and others, he would definitely die down, and he would have made such a big noise earlier?" ”

"Pass the order, the garrison don't pay attention to this, just send a sentry to keep an eye on them." Coming to the outside of the camp, Yin Ziqi looked at the cavalry who stopped at the city gate from a distance, and said to the black-clothed man who was not up or down on the city wall, "Zhang Xun is disturbing our army's heart and exhausting our army, so that we will not be able to attack tomorrow. ”

"The general is wise." The generals who came in a hurry hurriedly complimented.

"Send three thousand soldiers to keep an eye on Suiyang City, and everyone else will go back to the camp for me to sleep; I killed all the soldiers who were running around, and if there were such disturbers in the future, I would not be spared. After Yin Ziqi finished speaking, he went straight back to the camp to continue resting.

As a veteran of the battlefield, he could sleep, but the soldiers were different, they were lying in tents, always thinking that the enemy might surprise them, and it was not uncomfortable to turn over and over for a while.

And in Suiyang City, Zhang Xun had already recovered the cavalry outside the city gate and the scarecrow on the city wall, and took Li You and others to the bottom of the city wall, Zhang Xun silently estimated the location, pointed to a certain place on the city wall and said, "Dig from here, carefully take out the city bricks, but don't completely open it, be sure to leave two layers of bricks, so that the rebels can't see the clues from the outside." ”

Before the war, it was too late to repair the city wall, but now he wants someone to dig a hole in the city wall, what is the reason? Li You was a little confused for a while, but seeing the convinced looks of Xu Yuan, Lei Wanchun and others, Li You swallowed the question back again, maybe it won't take long to be clear, right?

In the early morning of the next day, Yin Ziqi's army lined up in a dense formation and began to slowly press towards Suiyang City, and the battle was about to break out. (To be continued.) )
