Taking advantage of the truce, Nan Jiyun personally led people to invite the people in the city to the head of Hebei City, looking at the corpses of his comrades who had completely filled the moat, and the people of Hebei couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness about the death of rabbits and foxes.

Seeing this, Nan Jiyun lobbied again, and as a result, almost effortlessly, all the people in the city were invited to the head of Hebei City.

With the participation of tens of thousands of people, the soldiers defending the city immediately became more confident and their morale became more invigorated.

What happened later turned out to be exactly as Zhang Xun expected, and in the next few days, the Turkic soldiers launched a tidal attack on the city of Hebei.

The Turkic Great Khan Ashina Guli personally supervised the battle with a sword in the rear of the military formation, and the Turkic generals saw that their morale was really boosted, and under the command of their respective generals, they launched a fierce and decisive charge to the north of the city.

During this period, Zhang Xun's figure has always appeared on the four walls of Hebei City, he holds a knife in his right hand, and his own arrows continue to swim around the city, loudly encouraging the morale of the defenders.

Women, children, and wounded soldiers were responsible for carrying the rocks to the city, while men and the elderly braved arrows and threw them at the Turkic soldiers who were climbing towards the city.

Today's Hebei city is like a purgatory on earth, blood is bubbling down the cracks in the city wall, and those defenders running around the city are also stepping on the blood that has completely submerged the surface of the feet, using their bodies to seal the gaps that were broken through by the Turkic soldiers.

The two sides were in a very harsh environment, engaged in an extremely cruel life-and-death struggle, among them, the most fiercely contested northern city wall, which had changed hands several times, but in the end it was taken back by the determined and fearless Zhang Xun without exception.

When the bloody battle was carried out on the seventh day, looking at the gradually setting sun, Guli reluctantly gave the order for Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Gu Li looked at the head of Hebei City unwillingly, as if he had been baptized by blood, but his mouth kept repeating a person's name.

"Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun."

"I will kill you."

Gu Li slapped his thigh with resentment on his face, and then led his troops to slowly retreat in the direction of the camp.

Looking at the Turkic army that was retreating like a tide, Inspector Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and his body was like a deflated ball, lying weakly on the battlement.

At this very moment.

Zhang Xun's ears suddenly heard a wave of cheers, he stood up with his body bold, looked at Lei Wanchun and Nan Jiyun who were walking towards him, and said, "What's the matter?" What's going on? ”

Lei Wanchun walked quickly to Zhang Xun's face, and said with tears in his eyes: "My lord, the Turks have retreated, and they are pulling out the camp overnight, it seems that Guli has made the decision to retreat." ”

When Zhang Xun heard this, he did not rush to the southern city wall to check the situation, but built a pergola with his hands and raised his eyes to look at the Turkic Qianli joint venture more than ten miles away in the north.

After a long time.

Zhang Xun squinted his eyes and said slowly: "If this government is not mistaken, they should have only demolished the three temporary camps outside the east, south, and west cities this time, but they have no intention of demolishing the northern camp at all. ”

Zhang Xun silently retracted his gaze and said, "Therefore, they have no intention of withdrawing, but our reinforcements have arrived." ”

"What your lord said is very true." Nan Jiyun nodded approvingly.

A day later.

After the Turks dismantled all the three camps in the south, east and west, they set a fire in the camp and burned everything that could not be taken away.

After the Turks left, Xiang Xin, who was appointed by Liu Wei as the vanguard general, hurriedly ordered the scouts to go to Hebei City to meet Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun heard that the scout had arrived, so he hurriedly ordered someone to pull him up to the city with a hanging basket.

Rao is a scout who is accustomed to seeing big scenes, and when he saw the head of Hebei City, which had been completely wrapped in a layer of flesh and blood, he was still shocked and gasped, and the scout exhaled a long breath, and then bowed to Zhang Xun and said, "Humble to meet your lordship." ”

"No need to be polite."

Zhang Xun made a gesture of raising his hand to the scout, and asked urgently, "Where have the reinforcements arrived now?" ”

"Lord Hui, General Xiang and General Cai were ordered to lead 20,000 light cavalry to the rescue, and now they are leading the army to be stationed in Musk County, which is fifteen miles away." The scout replied.

Lei Wanchun frowned and said, "Could it be that the imperial court only sent 20,000 reinforcements this time?" ”

When the scout heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty personally led 80,000 soldiers of the Beijing Battalion to slow down in the rear, and they will arrive in a few days." ”

When Zhang Xun heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty is driving in person, and Daxia will definitely be able to be invincible this time." ”

After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Xun ordered someone to take a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and then personally gave Xiang Xin and Cai Cheng a book, in which he truthfully explained to the two the specific situation of Hebei City, and then asked the two to lead the army to camp outside Hebei City, and Hebei City was in a horn situation.

The scout stretched out his hand to take the handwritten letter from Zhang Xun, carefully put it away, and then saluted Zhang Xun and said goodbye, and then rode a fast horse to Musk County to deliver a message to the new two.

Another day passed.

Zhang Xun, who was inspecting the city defense in the south of the city, suddenly saw smoke and dust billowing in front of him, and the earth slowly shook.

Seeing this, Zhang Xun hurriedly set up the pergola, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, but saw the flag waving several miles away, the flag was blown by the wind and hunted, and the high-headed horse that could not be seen at a glance was taking a steady and powerful step, and was galloping towards the head of Hebei City in a uniform manner.

Zhang Xun silently looked up at the sky, trying his best to restrain the excitement in his heart, and the purpose of his doing this was just to suppress the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes.

The south city wall has long been immersed in a sea of joy at this moment, and the soldiers are releasing and shouting, venting the joy of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.

There were also people who silently sat in pools of blood and hid their faces and wept, for the sake of the lost robes, and for the villagers and elders who died tragically at the hands of the Turks.

Zhang Xun propped his hands on the battlements, silently looked at the nearly 100 knights who took the lead to the city, he searched in the crowd for a long time, and finally locked his eyes on a young man, but saw that he was a little hurriedly adjusted his clothes, so he bowed deeply to the young man under the city, and said, "Minister Zhang Xun pays a visit to Your Majesty." ”

"Aiqing doesn't need to be polite."

The person under the city is the Great Xia Emperor Liu Bian, because of the fact that the front line battle is a little uneasy, Liu Bian on the second day after the oath of the army, the command of the army was temporarily handed over to the hands of Yuwen Chengdu, and immediately led Chai Shao and Zhao Yu and others to catch up with the vanguard led by Xiang Xin and Cai Cheng.

Hearing that the reinforcements had arrived, Lei Wanchun and Nan Jiyun hurriedly went to the south gate together, preparing to wash the dust for the reinforcements.

So the two hurriedly followed Zhang Xun's appearance and respectfully saluted Liu Wei.

Looking at Zhang Xun and the others who were covered in blood, Liu Wei was full of emotion in his heart, and said: "The national disaster thinks of the good generals, the Bandang knows the loyal ministers, and the three Aiqing are all the ministers of my Great Xia. ”

The four gates of Hebei City have all been sealed by Zhang Xun's people, so Liu Wei was unable to enter the city, but only said some words of encouragement to the soldiers in the city under the city, and after speaking, he took Chai Shao and his party back to the army.
