After recovering a little, Li Youqiang climbed up the city. Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan and others were looking at the direction of Yin Ziqi's camp from afar. Zhang Xun turned around when he heard footsteps, "Nan Ba, thanks to you today, I killed tens of thousands of thieves and injured troops in one battle, and suffered such a big blow one after another. The morale of the thieves must be low. Next, we can finally take a breath."

"Oh? Where did Lord Zhongcheng know?" Seeing Zhang Xun's determined expression, Li You couldn't help but be curious. The last time the Beiwei Army launched its first attack, it killed tens of thousands of people, but the rebels still launched an attack the next day.

"Look at Nanba." Zhang Xun pointed at the rebel camp in a long distance. "The flags in the bandit camp were not in order, the soldiers were in chaos, and the supervision team was suppressing everywhere. Yin Ziqi's commander's tent was crowded with people. This must be asking him to suspend the attack, and there were also "Zhang Xun said one by one, and everyone could nodded.

"In this way, we can finally take a break for two days." Li You also temporarily let go of his worries. It was more tiring to lead the Han delegation to run on the grassland for a few days than to run for a month on the grassland. Although he was in a dangerous situation on the grassland, the grassland was vast and sparsely populated. Sometimes he could not meet a Hun for a few days. It would be like the battles now that he would not have to rest for a while, which would consume too much.

"Since spring, we began to defend Suiyang City to the death. It has been almost half a year. In the past six months, hundreds of battles with the bandit army have been fought and killed countless bandit troops." Xu Yuan was also quite moved at this moment, "We have calculated that we have killed tens of thousands of bandit troops before, but in this way, we have to count the two days after Nanba came back. Including the 30,000 bandit troops killed in the past few days, there are probably less than 100,000 soldiers left in Yin Ziqi's tent?"

Yin Ziqi originally had an army of 150,000, and the successive supplements may reach 180,000. These are all more than 100 battles who have lived in the frontier for a long time. They are the core forces under An Lushan. Since An Lushan raised the banner of "clearing the king and killing Yang Guozhong" to enter the pass, they have been invincible in the battle. However, they were unexpectedly blocked by a small Suiyang City. Not only did they fail to move forward for several months, but they also lost nearly half of their troops. This was an absolute blow to the rebels.

Although they did not dare to go around Suiyang City. If the army left, Zhang Xun would definitely lead the army in Suiyang City to fight out from behind. If some soldiers were left to guard Suiyang City, it would not be feasible for others to take a detour into Jianghuai. If there were fewer people left, there was no use. If there were too many, they were afraid that the troops would be insufficient to attack Jianghuai. Therefore, even if the losses were heavy, Yin Ziqi could only nail them here. Only by taking Suiyang City could they continue to move forward.

"It's a pity that there are only more than 2,000 soldiers in the city now." Zhang Xun sighed and said, Yin Ziqi's rebels suffered heavy losses, and they were the same. Not only did the soldiers lose more than 4,000, but only half of the more than 40,000 people in the city were left. Almost every household was mourning and sad. However, under the leadership of Zhang Xun, the people's hearts remained unchanged.

"Master Zhongcheng, you have worked hard for days to fight, so let's take a break for a while?" Li You couldn't help but persuade. Zhang Xun's face is now extremely haggard, as if a gust of wind could blow down. There were no fewer teeth left in his mouth, all of which were bitten when he was guarding the city before when he gritted his teeth and scolded the rebels.

"Every time the battle is full of blood, and the teeth are broken." This is a record of Zhang Xun's expression when he was guarding the city. If there is no reason to travel through time, Suiyang City will be captured by the rebels in a few months because of food being cut off. Zhang Xun and others were captured in front of Yin Ziqi Yin Ziqi asked Zhang Xun, "I heard that whenever you fight, your teeth are broken, so why is this?"

Zhang Xun replied with a sigh, "I want to swallow the rebel thief, but I can't do it."

Yin Ziqi ordered his soldiers to stuff them into Zhang Xun's mouth with a knife to check that there were still a few teeth left. It was obvious that Zhang Xun's strength was only three.

Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan, Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun, Yao Zi, Jia Ben and others were captured and loyal and unyielding, and were eventually killed by Yin Ziqi. Later generations called them "Suiyang Six Loyals and Beliefs" and built temples for sacrifices. The incense was constantly ongoing all year round. Yin Ziqi was also wiped out by the Tang army shortly afterwards, and after his death, he was infamous for thousands of years.

"For Zhang Suiyang's teeth, for Yan Changshan's tongue." Li You couldn't help but secretly recite the sentences in the Southern Song Dynasty's righteous spirit song. Zhang Xunshou's eyes broke into blood, and his teeth were broken, and his cousin of Yan Gaoqing, the calligrapher Yan Zhenqing, was originally an subordinate of An Lushan. When An Lushan rebelled, he led his army to defend Changshan. After being captured, he scolded the thief. Even if his tongue was caught by the rebels, he would not stop until he died.

It was precisely because of such loyal people that the Tang Dynasty did not fall into the hands of rebels, and the Central Plains civilization did not become a killing field for barbarians again. Li You looked at Zhang Xun in front of him and made a secret decision in his heart that since he came to Suiyang, he would save the lives of these six loyal and brave men no matter what, and prevent the tragedy of history from happening again.

"Yes, Lord Zhongcheng, you go and rest for a while. I'm waiting in the city, and nothing can happen." Xu Yuan also persuaded him. He and Zhang Xun were both Jinshi in the 23rd year of Kaiyuan. Zhang Xun was a high school student in the 193rd year of Kaiyuan. He was far behind him. Therefore, Xu Yuan admired Zhang Xun especially. As soon as Zhang Xun arrived in Suiyang, Xu Yuan, who was the prefect of Suiyang at the time, 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 now. Leave half of the troops on the city to guard against the thieves, and everyone else will go down to have a good sleep." After Zhang Xun said that, he looked at Li You, "Nanba, you go down to the city to rest."

Li You was about to refuse, but suddenly heard Zhang Xun say again, "Wait until the night, you are busy."

"Oh? But are you going to go out of the city to attack the thieves?" Li You's eyes lit up, and he obediently followed Zhang Xun down the city, returned to the barracks and started to rest.

When the moon was in the middle of the sky, Li You was awakened from his dream. Hundreds of elite troops from the Beiwei Army woke up with him. They replaced them with black men and followed Zhang Xun to the top of the city.

"But you want to sneak attack the enemy camp in the darkness?" Li Yue's eyes shone with excitement, as if the daytime fighting had not yet made him satisfied.

"No, if we attacked the enemy camp, there would probably be more than us." Li You shook his head and replied. He had guessed some of Zhang Xun's plans.

Everyone was busy on the city wall for a while, and everything was ready. Suddenly, thunderous drums came from beside them. The drum sound broke the silence of the night and spread to Yin Ziqi's camp.

"Has the Tang army come to attack the enemy camp?" In the rebel camp, countless whistle detectives looked at the Suiyang city walls. To be continued.
