Zhang Wu looked at the map and said, "As long as Xu Shuji and He Lan send troops to the Ming Dynasty, can Suiyang be saved?"
Ge Shuhan nodded and said: "Of course, the soldiers under Yin Ziqi's command come from a variety of sources, including the remaining troops of Li Chaozong and the freshmen captured by Pinglu Town in the north."
"Besieging Suiyang, Zhang Xun ran out of ammunition and food, but could not capture a small Suiyang for a long time, so Yin Ziqi also put it on the fire."
"If the Tang army comes with reinforcements, it will also be a major blow to the morale of the puppet Yan troops besieging the city."
Zhang Wu felt suddenly enlightened.
In Storm of the Tang Dynasty, war is not a simple game, soldiers do not come out of the military camp out of thin air, and soldiers are not emotionless AI.
In fact, many general players miss those soldiers in real-time strategy who fight to the death despite orders and orders.
The soldiers in the Tang Dynasty are squeamish and fragile. Soldiers with unclear rewards and punishments will have low morale, and will collapse if their battle losses exceed 30%.
During the battle, we must prevent soldiers from escaping. After victory, we must maintain military discipline and prevent soldiers from burning, killing, and looting.
In short, in the Tang Dynasty, leading troops to fight was a hard job.
An Lushan's elite troops had been wiped out in the battle of Xiangji Temple.
What Yin Ziqi had in his hands was just a partial army. Although it was said to be one hundred thousand, many of the soldiers were Xianbei and Jurchen who had just been kidnapped from the mountains of Northeast China to the front line.
The siege of Suiyang put a lot of pressure on Yin Ziqi.
If there is no victory for a long time, the soldiers will not be satisfied.
The war continued. Although the puppet Yan army could plunder supplies, military discipline was lax and soldiers fled every day.
If he hadn't known that the Tang Dynasty was also running out of ammunition and food, Yin Ziqi would have withdrawn his troops long ago.
Ge Shuhan continued to point to the map and said: "Especially Pengcheng's army, which is not far from Suiyang. Moreover, the Bianzhou army is good at fighting, and Yin Ziqi is also afraid of this army."
Zhang Wu looked at the map and saw that the armies in Pengcheng and Linhuai would be the key to the success or failure of the Suiyang battle.
In particular, Pengcheng's army is the closest. There are only twenty days left before the fall of Suiyang. They must "persuade" Bianzhou Jiedushi Xu Shuji to send troops!
Just when Zhang Wu and Ge Shuhan were discussing how to rescue Suiyang.
——In Suiyang City——
Zhang Xun said to his general Nan Jiyun:
"Nan Balang, without reinforcements, Suiyang will no longer be able to defend it."
"The army of Helan Jinming, the governor of Linhuai, is in Linhuai City, and the army of Xu Shuji, the governor of Bianzhou, is in Pengcheng. As long as they are willing to send troops, Suiyang can still be saved."
At this time, Nan Jiyun had a messy beard and small wounds on his face.
He had just been standing guard on the city wall all night, and as soon as he came down from the city wall, he was called over by Zhang Xun.
Last night, those birds from the east of Hedong attacked again. These birds from the mountains and forests, seduced by beautiful women and treasures, risked their lives to attack the city.
If it weren't for Nan Jiyun's bravery, who cut down several students who climbed onto the city wall first, the enemy wouldn't have found the flaw.
Such high-intensity night battles have occurred five times this month. The Suiyang defenders are getting more and more exhausted, and even Nan Jiyun can no longer hold on.
Zhang Xun looked at Nan Jiyun and said, "Nan Balang, Suiyang is now surrounded by a large army, and you are the only one who can break out."
"I have prepared thirty elite cavalry, all of whom are carefully selected from the city."
"I will give you the only bows and arrows left in the city. I must ask for reinforcements from both places!"
Since he started guarding Suiyang, Zhang Xun, a fifty-seven-year-old scholar, has suddenly aged ten years.
He is now gray-haired and so thin that his cheekbones protrude.
The official robe on his body was already in tatters, but it was still worn by Zhang Xun in a dignified manner.
Nan Jiyun said to Zhang Xun: "Commander! I have heard that Xu Shuji, the governor of Bianzhou, is greedy, and Helan Jinming, the governor of Linhuai, is narrow-minded. The commander-in-chief has written many times asking them to save Suiyang, but
They all tried their best to avoid sending troops."
"Now is the time when Suiyang needs people, and the general wants to fight to the death in Suiyang!"
Zhang Xun had no reaction to Nan Jiyun's ironclad speech.
Nan Jiyun looked up at Zhang Xun, only to see that Marshal Zhang, who had always been full of fighting spirit and never refused to surrender, now had his shoulders lowered, like a desperate old pawn on the city wall.
Zhang Xun sighed and said: "Suiyang cannot be lost. I told Helan Jinming in his letter that as long as he is willing to send troops, I will explain to the court that the defense of Suiyang is all due to him."
"I also told Xu Shuji that I don't want any of the Puppet Yan's spoils and military exploits, and will give them all to him."
"As long as they can send troops to rescue Suiyang, even if they ask me to take my head, I will give it to them!"
Nan Jiyun's eyes turned red. He looked at Zhang Xun crying and said, "Zhang Shuai!"
Zhang Xun helped Nan Jiyun up: "Nan Balang, the soldiers and civilians in Suiyang City depend on you. You must break out. Please send troops to Jiedu!"
Zhang Xun was stunned again and said in a low voice: "If they are unwilling to send troops, don't go back to Suiyang."
Nan Jiyun raised his head and Zhang Xun said: "You are the seed of a general. Xun is already old. You should remain useful and serve the imperial court."
After saying this, Zhang Xun said to Nan Jiyun: "I'm tired, Nan Ba, you take a rest and break out of the encirclement before dawn."
Nan Jiyun came out of Zhang Xun's study, kowtowed to Zhang Xun's study and said, "Shuai Zhang, even if you can't ask for reinforcements, Nan Ba will live and die with Suiyang!"
Zhang Xun did not respond to Nan Jiyun. He sat motionless on the ground and looked at the city defense map on the wall that he had studied countless times.
All available methods were used. In order to support the defense of the city, the people in the city took out the last food in their homes.
Due to the long-term siege of the city, the lack of medical treatment and the epidemic of epidemics in the city, under the multiple blows of hunger, epidemics and military disasters, almost every household in Suiyang City wore mourning.
However, the people of Suiyang still united with Zhang Xun to defend Suiyang City!
With such people, how could Zhang Xun let them down?
In the early morning of that day, Nan Jiyun personally led thirty cavalrymen, all dressed in black robes, and rushed out of Suiyang City before dawn.
Yin Ziqi's rebels discovered Nan Jiyun's breakout troops, and a large number of soldiers surrounded Nan Jiyun.
Nan Jiyun fired his bow from left to right, cutting a bloody path through the rebels, and actually broke out of Suiyang surrounded by a hundred thousand troops.
In Luoyang City, Zhang Wu and a group of other players have taken control of all important officials in Luoyang City.
When all four city gates of Luoyang were in the hands of the players, Zhang Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He summoned the players in Luoyang and said to the players who had been busy all day and night:
"Now that Luoyang has fallen into our hands, we can declare the outcome before the Tang army arrives in Luoyang."
"Now I will hand over the command of Luoyang City's inner guard to Shan Tao."
After Zhang Wu finished speaking, everyone started talking.
You must know that Zhang Wu discovered the mission of "The Spies of Luoyang" this time, and he did all the early preparations for the lurking.
It was time for the mission reward soon, but Zhang Wu had to leave Luoyang at this time.
Zhang Wu looked at the players and said: "The dust has settled here in Luoyang. When the results of the Battle of Shaanxi Gorge come out, we can let Luoyang change its flag."
"I have more important things to do!"
Shan Tao, Zhang Wu's designated deputy, asked: "Zhang Da, is there anything more important than Luoyang City? Do you want to leave Luoyang at this time?"
Zhang Wu said firmly: "I want to save Suiyang!"
Suiyang?
The Battle of Suiyang is currently a topic discussed by players on the forum.
The brutality of this battle and the heroism of Zhang Xun's death for his country have been documented by players who understand history.
In the previous battle of Suiyang, players had discussed that there was no way to save Suiyang.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Wu would dive in headfirst.
Shan Tao quickly said: "Boss Zhang, Suiyang can't be saved. You might as well stay in Luoyang and wait for the Tang army to come and recover! This is a great achievement!"
This time, Zhang Wu was the first to plan Luoyang's comeback.
Yan Zhuang, the military advisor of Anlu Mountain, even obtained the official position of the third rank after surrendering to the Tang Dynasty!
Zhang Wu's contribution will definitely be rewarded by the Tang Dynasty court.
Nowadays, in the Tang court, no one has an official position.
According to the analysis of the forum boss, with the recovery of the two capitals, according to historical development, Datang and the puppet Yan will enter a temporary stable period.
This stable period will last until the second half of next year.
At this stage, in addition to Longyou implementing a grand detour strategy and using troops from the rear to shake Hedong.
The biggest opportunity is to enter the Tang Dynasty court.
This is also the reason why Wang Chengwei also wanted to become a naturalized member of the Wang family in Taiyuan and participate in the imperial examination of Fengxiang Prefecture.
If one can enter the imperial court based on Luoyang's restoration, the benefits to his future development will be immeasurable.
Seeing the huge contribution, Zhang Wu didn't want it, but wanted to save Suiyang single-handedly.
Shan Tao looked at Zhang Wu incomprehensively.
Zhang Wu smiled and said, "I don't play games for level rewards or anything like that."
"Otherwise, I could have stayed in Wuwei City and wouldn't have continued to serve as an internal guard and sneak into Luoyang after the great victory in Hexi."
Everyone fell silent.
Zhang Wu continued: "Where righteousness lies, even if there are ten thousand people, I will go there!"
"In reality, when we encounter injustice, we will retreat for the sake of our families and our lives."
"But I don't want to back down when playing a game! Saving Suiyang is what I want to do. I don't resent the death of a righteous man like Zhang Xun at the hands of the rebels. I don't resent the miserable world that allows good people to die miserably.
, Let the bad guys get promoted and get rich!"
"Because of the injustice in my heart, I am going to try to see if I can save Suiyang City!"
After Zhang Wu finished speaking, all the players present stopped talking.
Zhang Wu stood up and said: "Since it's a game, I'm going crazy. After all, you can be resurrected after death, right?"
The players laughed, finally dissipating the previous serious atmosphere.
Zhang Wu had already prepared his luggage and horses. He took the solemnly signed documents and set off from Luoyang towards Suiyang.
