Suiyang City wants to be a huge grinding plate, slowly wear out the vitality of countless soldiers on both sides of the Tang Dynasty and the rebels, in just one month, more than 30,000 rebels died under this small city, and now every inch of land under Suiyang City is soaked in blood, and terrifying white bones can be seen everywhere; And the life of the defenders in the city is not easy, during this time, nearly half of the casualties of the Beiwei army are now only more than 500 left, and the original more than 2,000 soldiers in the city and the 2,000 reinforcements sent by Lian Tan's men add up to only the previous 600 soldiers survived.

Even if Zhang Xun drew more than 3,000 people from the people of Suiyang to supplement the defenders, I am afraid that he would not be able to hold out for long in this huge meat grinder; Although Zhang Xun and others still tried every means to use every opportunity to attack and harass the rebels, the number of rebels attacking the city wall increased day by day.

"It's not the way to go." After another day of fighting, Zhang Xun looked at the rebel camp and frowned and said, Yin Ziqi is becoming more and more ruthless now, he no longer cares about the casualties of the rebels, and forces batch after batch of rebels to exchange lives with the defenders, even though the exchange ratio is very different, but because the number of rebels is too much, even if they lose more than 30,000 people, they still have more than 60,000 troops, and they can also go around to arrest the people to replenish the soldiers, but there is no one in Suiyang City to make up, and if it goes on like this, it is only a matter of time before Suiyang City falls.

"Why don't you go out of the city again and ask for help from a nearby city?" Li You said slowly, he vaguely remembered that a few days after the destruction of Suiyang City in the future, reinforcements arrived, it seemed that the imperial court sent a new Jiedu envoy, the new Jiedu envoy was not as afraid of the enemy as Helan Jinming, and the army quickly solved Yin Ziqi's remnants.

"Helan Jinming is as timid as a mouse, General Lian Tan and General Li Ben have no one to send, and there are reinforcements around here?" Xu Yuan shook his head and sighed, for months, Yin Ziqi's army was killed and injured by more than 100,000 people, and now it is the time when the soldiers are tired, if a large army comes to support them, Yin Ziqi's entire army will be wiped out only overnight, but unfortunately the surrounding Tang army is either understaffed, or the generals leading the army are timid and afraid, resulting in mistakes again and again.

Li You couldn't explain that he knew that maybe now the Tang Dynasty Imperial Court had sent a dare to fight Jiedu envoy to command the Henan military, so he could only say, "If there is chaos today, there is constant turmoil in various places, although it has only been more than a month since the last time I went out of the city, but maybe there is a scene outside the city, it is best to come to the reinforcements, if there are no reinforcements for the time being, we will spread the news of Suiyang City to the imperial court, and there are always people in the court who can understand the consequences of the rebels attacking Jianghuai, how dare they sit idly by?" ”

"There is also Marshal Guo above the court, and a famous general like Li Jiedu should understand that although Suiyang is small, it is the key to quelling the rebellion." Zhang Xun thought for a moment and said slowly, "In this way, Nanba, you can go again." ”

"The last general commands." Li You clasped his hands into fists and saluted, secretly praying in his heart, hoping that this trip out of the city would bring back good news.

"Well, early tomorrow morning, you take fifty horsemen out of the city." Zhang Xun pointed to a certain place in the rebel camp, "In my opinion, this is the weakest point of the thief army, you go down first to select men and horses, rest for one night, and break out of the city tomorrow at five o'clock in the morning; We'll make a big show on the other side to lure you away from the thieves. ”

The wee hours of the morning have always been the most sleepy time, and now it is September, and it is dawn at five o'clock, Zhang Xun's timing is extremely clever, and Li You immediately agreed to go down to the city to select cavalry.

Now there are only more than 200 of the 500 cavalry of the Beiwei Army, and the war horses have been slaughtered because of the lack of food and grass in the city, and he finally selected 50 war horses in good condition and 50 cavalry of the Beiwei Army who were not seriously injured.

At three o'clock, Li You and the fifty-backed army woke up from their sleep, checked the armor and weapons on their bodies for the last time, fed the war horses, carefully adjusted the saddle sheath, and quietly came to the east gate, the city gate slowly opened, and Li You took fifty cavalry to the outside of Suiyang City under the cover of the morning mist.

The horses' hooves were wrapped in straw, and the cavalrymen slowly approached the enemy camp with their mouths in their mouths, and only when they reached the enemy camp did they suddenly turn on their horses and kill in the weakest direction of the enemy army.

At the same time, the drums above the west gate of Suiyang shook the sky, and the remaining 200 cavalry in the west gate of the city poured out of the city, making it look like they were going to raid the rebels.

Enemy troops appeared on both sides at the same time, Yin Ziqi couldn't figure out Zhang Xun's purpose for a while, but he saw Zhang Xun above the west gate from a distance, so he regarded the west gate as the main attack direction of the Tang army, and immediately mobilized troops and horses to prepare to meet the Tang army, and was ready to take advantage of the victory to pursue and break into the city gate, and Li You and his fifty horsemen were ignored by him.

But seeing Yin Ziqi's army approaching the west gate, there were bursts of golden sound in the city, and the two hundred cavalry returned to the city when the rebels were about to arrive without firing a single shot.

At this time, Li You had already led fifty backswainers to penetrate the rebels' defensive line, and under the non-stop gallop, he soon came to Li Ben's True Source City, and here he got a good news.

"Now that Chang'an has been recovered by Marshal Guo, and His Majesty has sent Zhongshu Shilang, Tongping Zhangshi, Henan Jiedu Envoy, Dutong Huainan and other military forces Zhang Hao Zhang to lead the military affairs of Henan and Huainan, Zhang Dawen and Wuquan are both complete and not comparable to Helan Jinming, I heard that Lord Zhang has ordered Haozhou Assassin Shi Lu Qiu Xiao to send troops to aid Suiyang, presumably it won't take long for General Zhang to see reinforcements, right?" As soon as Li Ben saw Li You, he informed him of the latest developments in the imperial court.

"So good, so good." When Li You heard that there were reinforcements, he couldn't help but applaud repeatedly, but when he saw him, he thought of another thing, "General Li, when did Lord Zhang take office?" When did Lu Qiuxiao be ordered to help Suiyang? ”

"Lord Zhang took office in August, and as soon as he took office, he led the reinforcements to Suiyang, but Fengxiang was too far away from Suiyang, and Zhang Dasheng was afraid that he would not be able to help, so he sent a flying horse to let Lu Qiuxiao help first, which was a matter soon after General Nan came out to ask for help last time." Li Ben thought for a moment and replied.

Li You chuckled in his heart, and secretly screamed that it was not good, if it was calculated according to this time, Lu Qiuxiao's army would probably have arrived nearby a long time ago, but after he broke through, there seemed to be no sign of reinforcements all the way, could it be that this Lord Haozhou Thorn Shi was as afraid of battle as Helan Jinming, and did not dare to send reinforcements?
