Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    No matter what the court does, Zhang Xun will never give up!

    "Sir Xu, although we defeated the enemy again this time, there is a clear gap in strength between us and them. I'm afraid that Yin Ziqi will become angry and eager to regain face, and will lead his army to attack the city overnight."

    Zhang Xun clenched his fists and expressed his worries to everyone in Zaicheng.

    Xu Yuan waved his hand and said: "Master Zhang, there is no need to worry. Since the day when Yin Ziqi besieged the city at the end of February, the rebels have attacked the city not ten times but eight times, right? The momentum of the rebels' siege is getting stronger every time.  It¡¯s huge, but haven¡¯t we repelled them again and again?¡±

    Xu Yuan is right. With less than 5,000 soldiers and a large number of civilians in the city, Zhang Xun was able to defend Suiyang City so well that he did not even lose the Wengcheng.  Even if Yin Ziqi led his army to attack the city overnight, it was still a desperate move. How could he take advantage of his imbalanced mentality?

    On the contrary, as long as they are prepared, it will be beneficial to them to guard the city at night.  Suiyangzhong has enough armor, and just rolling logs and stones is enough to feed the rebels.  There are also sharp weapons such as hooks and spikes. If the rebels really dare to attack the city, it will be easy for them.

    The most important thing is that I have something that the rebels never have - attachment to their homeland.

    This is their home, and they must protect it with the sword in their hands.

    "Report, report"

    At this moment, a soldier suddenly rushed into the hall, knelt down in the tunnel and said: "Master Zhang, Master Zhang, the rebels are attacking the city!"

    Zhang Xunqing stroked his beard and said, "As expected, it seems that Yin Ziqi really can't wait any longer."

    "Generals, listen to the order and follow me to the top of the city to supervise the battle!"

    Zhang Xunduan shouted, his face filled with determination

    At the head of Suiyang City, the dark wind howled.

    Zhang Xun frowned slightly and looked at the black clusters of enemy troops under the city.

    The torches of Prajna stars illuminated the sky clearly, and about 30,000 enemy troops surrounded Suiyang City.

    ?? Ladders, sandbags, rams, these tools that had never been used in previous sieges were all tinkered with by the rebels. It seems that Yin Ziqi was cruel in this battle.

    "Nan Ba, how is the situation now?" Zhang Xun turned around and walked towards the gatehouse at the head of the city. As he walked, he asked Nan Jiyun about the situation of the battle.

    "Reporting to Master Zhang, Yin Ziqi's troops are divided into four groups and plan to attack the city from all sides at the same time."

    Nan Jiyun clenched his fists at Zhang Xun and replied respectfully.

    "Oh?" Zhang Xun raised his eyebrows: "Is this true?"

    If this is really the case, it will indeed be extremely beneficial to you.  You must know that the most taboo in using troops is to disperse the strength. What Yin Ziqi does seems to cover all aspects, but in fact it cannot open up any aspect.

    Nan Jiyun nodded: "Yes, judging from the current situation, the number of rebels gathered at each city gate is about the same."

    Zhang Xun put his hands together and laughed and said, "Okay! Nan Ba, I have a task for you."

    Nan Jiyun understood and approached Zhang Xun, listening carefully.

    The moon star is bright.  Outside Suiyang North City, the rebel general Cui Boyuan led more than 3,000 cavalry to persuade them to surrender.

    "Sir Zhang, my commander-in-chief thinks that you are a hero of the world. He pities your talents and cannot bear to see you being used by a foolish king and lose your life. I also hope that you can judge the situation and join me in the Yan court."

    Cui Boyuan held the horse's rein with one hand and kept urging Zhang Xun to surrender.

    "In fact, it doesn't matter whether Zhang Xun can really surrender. This is just a clever plan devised by General Yin Ziqi.

    In his opinion, Zhang Xun is the spiritual pillar of this city. As long as Zhang Xun is disrupted, he will have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and attack Suiyang City.  As long as they kept persuading at the top of the city, Zhang Xun was bound to have suspicions in his heart, even if Zhang Xun's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty was rock-solid.  With his own advice, some of the weak-willed defenders in the city would inevitably start to think carefully.

    As long as they are divided among the defenders, Suiyang will be conquered soon.

    "General Cui, everyone has his own ambitions. Zhang is an official of the Tang Dynasty and must be loyal to the Tang Dynasty. General Cui doesn't need to waste any more words." Zhang Xun stood at the top of the city and replied to Cui Boyuan in a deep voice.

    This situation has lasted for half an hour. No matter what benefits Cui Boyuan offered to seduce him, Zhang Xun only had one reply.

    Cui Boyuan swallowed and smiled brightly: "Master Zhang, what are you doing? You also know that Suiyang City is now besieged by a hundred thousand cavalry from the Yan Kingdom. Not to mention reinforcements, I'm afraid it's just a flying bird.  Even if you can't fly in, how long can you defend such an isolated city? When my Dayan army breaks the city, they will definitely massacre the city to vent their anger. By then, all the people in the city will die. Can you bear to see them because of your  Will you die if you are stubborn?"

    Cui Boyuan does not give up,The psychological battle with Zhang Xun began again.  The most important thing in the hearts of these bastards and rotten scholars is morality, so I use morality to block their mouths to see what else they can say.

    Zhang Xun waved his hand and said: "The people in Suiyang City are also my subjects of the Tang Dynasty. They grew up eating the food of the Tang Dynasty and drinking the water from the wells of the Tang Dynasty. They only have the Tang Dynasty in their hearts."  , but they don¡¯t know what Dayan is. Even if they know what will happen after the city is broken, they will stand firmly with me until the last moment of the battle! General Cui, don¡¯t say more, Zhang understands your kindness, but  Please forgive Zhang for his difficulty in obeying his orders!"

    Zhang Xunchong hugged Cui Boyuan and answered resolutely.

    "Fight, fight, fight!"

    "Kill, kill, kill!"

    At this time, the loud sound of drums and horns sounded again from the top of the city, and the soldiers screamed at the top of their lungs. The momentum was amazing.

    "Uh" Cui Boyuan took a deep breath and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Master Zhang, please think clearly. If you submit to me, Dayan, Marshal Yin will definitely report to His Majesty the Emperor and recommend you to be a member of the fourth rank.  A real official."

    This condition is quite generous. You must know that Zhang Xun's original official rank in the Tang Dynasty was a seventh-rank county magistrate.  Although he was later awarded some official positions by the court for his merits in fighting the enemy, these were just empty officials to encourage the soldiers to work hard. During the chaos, even Jiedushi was flying all over the sky, so what did Zhang Xunde do with those official positions?  allow?

    Zhang Xun fell into silence after listening.

    Cui Bo was overjoyed when he saw Zhang Xun.

    "Mr. Zhang, please rest assured, Cui always means what he says. Cui doesn't dare to guarantee anything else, but in this matter, he absolutely cannot escape."

    "You just need to give up Suiyang City!"

    Cui Boyuan was spitting, and just as he was exhorting loudly, he felt a pain in his shoulder. When he took a closer look, he found that he had been shot with an arrow.

    "Thieves, stop talking nonsense, if you want to fight, then fight!"

    Zhang Xun pulled out the sword from his waist, raised it high and stood at the top of Suiyang City, like a god

    PS: Guess what strategy Xiao Zhang Tanhua uses to defeat the enemy?
