Chapter 37 Victory in exchange for a loser

The Jin army besieged Hezhou was in miserable, but Zhang Yun in Suzhou lived much more comfortably.

During these days of meditation and recuperation, Zhang Yun slept until she woke up naturally almost every day, and no one disturbed her at all.

Originally, Mo Youcai planned to find a young lady to serve him, but Zhang Yun refused.

It’s not that Zhang Yun doesn’t want to, but that he feels that he can’t be special during wartime.

The army should look like an army. Although there have been rumors of battalions in the army since ancient times, Zhang Yun did not want his soldiers to waste their strength in it.

Due to Nalan Banglie's arrogance, all the food and supplies that originally belonged to the Jin army in Suzhou City fell into Zhang Yun's hands.

With these, Zhang Yun took the banner of being the governor of Sizhou, recruited soldiers and horses in Suzhou, and even moved towards Xuzhou from time to time, and grabbed all the grain transport teams heading south.

In a word, Suzhou is now the territory of the Song Dynasty!

The momentum became bigger and bigger, and the rebels who were moving at the news came late, although there were mixed things here.

But what Zhang Yun said that the enemy's enemy is a friend made Xu Jun nod continuously.

As long as the rebel army resisted the rule of the Jin people, all food, grass and military supplies were distributed. Xu Jun was unambiguous in implementing this.

Although this move seems to be a very prodigal, Zhang Yun lost not his own family business, but the family business that originally belonged to Pusankui.

In the past half month, there has been almost no food and grass moving south from the Suzhou territory. Zhang Yun, the small butterfly, has incited a huge storm.

"Governor!" After walking around the city at the north gate of Suzhou, soldiers kept greeting Zhang Yun, and Zhang Yun also responded with a smile.

"Young man, it's cold and cold, so let's go back to cultivate!" Mo Youcai behind him looked anxious.

Zhang Yun was just a little bit better, so she came out to wander around. If she was caught in the cold, it would be more than worth the loss.

"Cultivate a bird egg! I'm almost moldy when I lie down, and I'm so weak?" As soon as I finished speaking, Zhang Yun coughed violently, and Mo Youcai's forehead was covered with black lines.

"I swear, I'm choking!" Mo Youcai was very depressed when facing the shameless Zhang Yun.

The reason why Zhang Yun was like this was entirely because the rebels came to report that the Jin army stationed in Xuzhou had sent 3,000 troops south, intending to retake Suzhou, an important food route.

In order to find out the movements of the Jin army in Xuzhou, Zhang Yun had asked Xu Jun to take a hundred people out of the city for several days.

Logically speaking, today should be the agreed day of return, but Xu Jun and others have not appeared for a long time.

On the surface, Zhang Yun looked calm, but the actual situation was just the opposite. Deep inside her heart was still somewhat uneasy.

If the Jin army heading south breaks through Liuhe, the food and grass problem will be solved. Although later historical books record Bi Zaiyu's achievements, today's history has deviated from the track.

What's more, Bi Zaiyu's strongest combat power is in his own hands, and whether Liuhe can be defended is also the key point of the entire battle situation.

Tattata!

A burst of rapid horse hooves came, and Zhang Yun looked at him intently, and a smile appeared on his face, which was about to be frozen.

"I'm back!" muttered, and then led the depressed Mo Youcai down the city.

"Meet the governor!" Xu Jun, who had just turned over and dismounted, bowed and bowed.

Zhang Yun hurriedly shook his hand, then greeted the soldiers behind him, and pulled Xu Jun to ask about the specific situation.

"Governor, the Jin army is 3,000 troops from Xuzhou, and the general is Wanyan Shui..." Xu Jun talked endlessly about the information found this time.

Zhang Yun nodded while listening, and then thought for a moment and came up with a solution to the problem.

At noon two days later, a Jin cavalry with three thousand troops slowly appeared at the northern gate of Suzhou.

"General, the gate of Suzhou is wide open, and there is no one on the top of the city. The Song army is afraid that they will escape after hearing the name of the general." A commander next to Wanyan Shui said loudly with a smile.

After hearing this, Wanyan Shui nodded on his own. He loved to listen to this flattery. What is the governor of Sizhou? He is just a soft boy.

Looking back at the three thousand cavalry behind him, Wanyan Shui was full of pride!

"Send the order, the army enters the city!" Wanyan Shui waved his hand and headed towards Suzhou, which was "empty".

Above the city head, Zhang Yun passed through the gap between the battlements and quietly observed the Jin army's every move.

If you look from the air at this moment, you will find that the city at the north gate is full of crossbowmen. Just by the time Zhang Yun gave him the order, he would get up to attack.

Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps, Zhang Yun was silently thinking in his mind. All he had to do was to attack suddenly and catch the Jin army off guard.

When the Jin army under the city entered a range of 100 steps, the drums and horns suddenly sounded in the north gate of Suzhou, and the flags were raised at the same time. Zhang Yun shouted "Shoot!".

In a blink of an eye, the crossbows flew across the board, and the contrast of silence and noise made the Jin soldiers unexpectedly afraid and were terrified.

Xu Ping, who had already been ambushed in the north gate, and Xu Jun and the others took the opportunity to lead the cavalry out!

With just one encounter, the commander who was still flattering Wanyan Shui was killed by Xu Ping with a hammer. Seeing this, the remaining Jin soldiers fled desperately in a mess.

"Hahaha, Xiaoyao ran away quickly!" Seeing the Jin army fleeing, Xu Ping, who was under the city, laughed proudly.

His voice was already loud, and after it reached Wanyan Shui's ears, it made him furious.

Three thousand pairs and hundreds were beaten and fled. If it was spread, Wanyan Shui would wipe out his face.

After retreating ten miles, Wanyan Shui finally stabilized his morale and planned to correct the troops and fight again tomorrow.

The next day, Wanyan Shui fought steadily and sent his commanders to take turns to attack and attack continuously. The defenders in Suzhou City began to feel tremendous pressure.

"Governor, there are not many crossbow arrows!" After repelling the fourth attack in succession, Xu Jun hurriedly reported.

Zhang Yun nodded. What they had to do now was to attract the main force of the Jin army to attack the city, and the rest depends on the rebels.

Taking money and eliminating disasters with people, Zhang Yun gave the food and grass to the rebel army, but the military supplies were not given in vain.

What's more, in terms of killing the Jin army, the rebel army was much more active than the official army of the Song Dynasty.

"Putting armor!" Zhang Yun said to Mo Youcai beside him.

Since being injured, Zhang Yun has hardly worn armor in the past half month. But today is different. Zhang Yun, the leader of the army, chose to stick to the front with her robes.

"Send the order and play music!" Mo Youcai, who was receiving the order, hurriedly ran towards the place near the city gate.

When I was young, the sound of orchestras in Suzhou City was endless. When the defenders in the city who fought repeatedly heard the music, they felt relaxed and their morale was stable.

The Jin soldiers outside the city felt inexplicable and didn't know what the Song army was doing.

"Where did the music come from?" Wanyan Shui asked differently.

"Uh...it seems to be coming from Suzhou City!" The commander of the thousand-time man who had just been defeated turned his ear and confirmed.

When Wanyan Shui heard this, she frowned. The Song army's move was completely incredible!

After a pause, Wanyan Shui continued: "Send the order to continue to attack the city!"

"General, the soldiers are tired, why are they attacking tomorrow?" The commander of the thousand-man kneeled on one knee and begged.

After looking at the scarred commander in front of him, Wanyan Shui was soft-hearted after all!

So, the Jin soldiers rushed back to the camp like a general amnesty, which made Zhang Yun and others who were well prepared smile bitterly.

That night, the slackened Jin army camp was attacked by a small number of cavalry led by Xu Ping, which made the Jin soldiers unable to rest and were worried all night.

The next morning, Wanyan Shui, who was wearing dark circles, ordered a retreat helplessly, but this retreat turned into a complete defeat.

After a night of harassment, the Jin army was not at rest. Faced with such an opponent, the rebels flocked from all directions and beat the dogs in the water was a favorite thing to see.

"Xu Ping, Xu Jun obeys the order! I want to hang Wanyan Shui's dog head on the north gate!" Zhang Yun, who received the news, did not stay idle, but chose to take the initiative.
