Yin Ziqi died under the eight-bull crossbow that came out in advance, but all the rebels who saw this scene subconsciously took a few steps back, for fear that the next terrible arrow would be shot at him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Yin Ziqi is dead, why don't you surrender soon?" Hundreds of Tang soldiers shouted loudly under the command of Zhang Xun, and the rebel offensive was suddenly stalled.

Li You aimed at the rebels who were still desperately trying to gather the army, and with a few loud bangs, the sharp three-edged blade iron axe took the life of another rebel general, this time it was even more exaggerated, one shot and three sword arrows flew another section after penetrating his body, and shot two more rebel soldiers before stopping.

Another rebel general died even more miserably, the huge arrow hit his head, the fine helmet did not play any role, the head popped open like a watermelon, blood and brains were scattered all over the surrounding soldiers, but all the soldiers who saw this scene were all frightened, frightened by such a powerful weapon as the eight-bull crossbow, dropped the weapon and held the head and fled backwards.

Without Yin Ziqi's order, the overseers in the rear were also at a loss, so they could only let the rout break up their ranks, and some even fled backwards with the rout.

However, it was too late at this time, and before they could flee back to the camp, they saw countless soldiers holding the banner of the Tang Dynasty coming out from the rear of the rebel camp, and tens of thousands of soldiers were killing the rebels like wolves and tigers.

"Lord Zhang's reinforcements have finally arrived." Zhang Xun at the head of the city finally breathed a sigh of relief, with these people led by Zhang Hao, there was no longer any need to worry about the rebels scattering and fleeing, causing trouble to the village.

At this time, the rebels surrounding Suiyang City had already retreated, and the Tang army in the city had no strength to catch up, only hundreds of Beiwei troops were still unhurriedly winding the Baniu crossbow, Li You, Lei Wanchun, Pan Feng and others kept wielding big axes and giant hammers to smash the trigger, firing a giant arrow of hatred, harvesting the lives of the rebels.

Zhang Hao is worthy of being a civil and military man, he commanded the army and quickly divided the rebels into several pieces and tightly surrounded them, and the rebels who lost the command of Yin Ziqi had no will to fight at this time, and after being killed by the Tang army cutting melons and vegetables, they all dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

After Zhang Hao ordered his generals to lead the soldiers to continue to encircle and suppress the remnants, he personally led a team of soldiers to Suiyang City, looking at the broken city walls, the scattered corpses under the city and the red land stained with blood, he knew at this time that his tragic prediction of the Battle of Suiyang was far from enough.

Zhang Zhongcheng is really a god, he secretly thought about it, if he was put in Zhang Xun's position, I am afraid that Suiyang City would have been broken by the army led by Yin Ziqi, right?

"My lord, this is the handsome banner of the thief army, and it seems that the one who was killed by the giant arrow over there is Yin Ziqi, the commander of the rebel army." Zhang Hao's personal soldiers turned over and dismounted, picked up the rebels' handsome flags and delivered them to Zhang Hao.

"This is Zhang Zhongcheng's credit, wait until you cut off the head and return it to Zhang Zhongcheng." Zhang Hao said slowly, twisting the horse's head and continuing to walk towards the west gate of Suiyang City.

"Zhang Zhongcheng has been holding on to Suiyang for more than half a year with a small number of people, and now he has killed the enemy chief Yin Ziqi under the arrow, and Zhang admires it so much." Zhang Hao, who came to the city, arched his hand to Zhang Xun on the city wall.

"Xiaguan visited Nanyang County Prince, thank you Nanyang County Duke for leading the army to rescue, otherwise, Suiyang has fallen into the hands of the thief army." Zhang Xun also returned the salute, saying that he sent an invitation, "I also invite the prince of Nanyang County to enter the city to speak." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xun suddenly smiled awkwardly, "I'm really sorry, the lower official was negligent, the West Gate was broken through by the thief army yesterday, and our army has sealed the West Gate after killing the thief army, I'm afraid I will bother the county prince to come in through other city gates." ”

"So far, Zhang Zhongcheng has not let the thief army take a step forward, and Zhongcheng has made great contributions to Datang." Zhang Hao said with emotion, after speaking, he turned his horse's head again and walked towards the south gate, and Zhang Xun also walked with him from the city wall.

Coming in from the south gate, Zhang Hao hurriedly turned over and dismounted and walked two steps quickly to stop Zhang Xun and the others from saluting, and gave them a deep bow, "If it weren't for the desperate battle between you and the thief army, Jianghuai would have been rotten now, and I would have thanked you for the people of Jianghuai." ”

Zhang Hao firmly refused the support of Zhang Xun and others, and only straightened up and entered the city with them after the ceremony, and when he entered the city, he saw the dilapidated appearance of the city and burst into tears, there were almost no completed houses in the city, and the trees on the roadside were also cut down, and even the roots of the trees were dug out; The soldiers and people in the city were all wounded, but their eyes were extremely determined.

Seeing the gruel mixed with confetti, bark, and grass roots, Zhang Hao hurriedly ordered, "Go and send the grain brought by the army to the city, by the way, all the pigs and sheep captured from the camp of the thief army will be sent to the city, as well as wine, Zhang will definitely accompany the Suiyang generals to get drunk today." ”

The soldiers were ordered to hurry away, and after a while, they brought back the grain, wine and meat, a jar of wine was opened, and the city of Suiyang exuded the fragrance of wine that had not been seen for a long time, and the soldiers put aside their worries about the war and began to drink wine to celebrate this difficult victory.

Zhang Hao. Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan, Li You, Lei Wanchun, Jia Ben, Yao Yu and others did a good job in the big tent, and as soon as the banquet was held, the soldiers came to report, and the rebels outside the city had been swept away, 30,000 rebels died under the swords of the reinforcements, and the remaining 10,000 captives would also be screened and disposed of according to the law.

"Xiaguan thanks the county prince for his timely rescue, otherwise the soldiers and civilians in Suiyang will be unlucky." Zhang Xun took the lead in picking up the wine glass and said.

"This official is ordered by the emperor to take charge of the military in Henan and Hedong, which is what it should mean, and you don't need to thank you." Zhang Hao also raised his wine glass and said, "On the other hand, Lord Zhongcheng insisted on Suiyang with thousands of soldiers, which really made Congzhou admire, and this cup should be admired by Zhou Jing." With that, Zhang Ho raised his wine glass and drank it all.

Then Zhang Hao's generals got up and toasted Zhang Xun and others, while drinking wine on both sides, they talked about the war in Suiyang during this time, and when it came to sending people to break through the siege and ask for reinforcements from the surrounding areas several times, but whether it was Helan Jinming or Lu Qiuxiao, they did not send reinforcements for their own selfishness, Zhang Xun burst into tears, "Just because of these traitors, pity me, hundreds of people in Suiyang City have suffered." ”

For a while, Xu Yuan and the others were also deeply moved, thinking of those sacrificed soldiers and those people who died at the hands of the enemy, and they all shed tears.

Zhang Hao was also indignant at this time, and slammed the wine glass on the table and replied, "You don't need to be angry, this official will give an explanation to the people of Suiyang." (To be continued.) )
