The situation in Suiyang is actually not in a hurry at all. After all, in history, Zhang Xun was in October of the second year of Emperor Zhide of Emperor Suzong, that is, October next year, and it was still more than a year away.

Moreover, although Zhang Xun's troops were far inferior to those of the anti-army army, he did not just defend the enemy like Nanyang City, but defended and attacked him. He often took the initiative to attack the anti-army army, and various strange tricks killed and injured the anti-army army.

Later generations have had historical arguments that Zhang Xun's ability to lead troops is even better than Guo Ziyi.

After all, although Guo Ziyi is also powerful, Guo Ziyi has tens of thousands of elite border troops as the foundation. Zhang Xun relied purely on a group of temporary recruits to recruit more than ten times his anti-army army in Yongqiu and Suiyang for nearly two years. If Li Fei does not intervene, he will die in the battle. He will rely on the Tang army, which has no more than 8,000 peaks, to kill and kill nearly 200,000 anti-army troops, which is a miracle in the history of war.

In later dynasties, no one did not respect Zhang Xun.

Li Fei led the Andong cavalry to advance east from Nanyang, and the most common people along the way were from Hebei or Luoyang who fled south to avoid war.

"Leaving your hometown, the most painful thing in war is always the people!" Li Fei sighed.

Although the food he carried was limited, Li Fei still helped many hungry people along the way, and gained a lot of good reputation among the refugees.

On August 27, Li Fei led his army to finally enter the Suiyang territory.

Standing on a high slope, Li Fei used a telescope to check the situation of the anti-army camp to see if there was any possibility of attacking the camp.

Due to the casualties of siege and the casualties caused by Zhang Xunshi's active attack, although the anti-army army continued to recruit troops, it was still less than when they just siegeed Suiyang, with only 60,000 troops.

From this point of view, if the anti-army army cannot take Suiyang for a while, sooner or later it will retreat and reorganize and fight again.

However, since Li Fei had led the Andong Iron Cavalry to Suiyang, he would not allow the anti-army to retreat and reorganize, but would rather fight to completely resolve the siege of Suiyang.

The strength of the anti-army under Yang Chaozong is much worse than the strength of the anti-army under Wu Lingxun at the city of Nanyang. Not only is it a difference in quantity, but it is also because of the long-term attack on Suiyang and the unstable morale caused by Zhang Xun and the Suiyang defenders.

Such an anti-army, let alone only 60,000, even if it is 100,000, Li Fei has absolute confidence that he can forcibly defeat him by fighting head-on.

However, in that case, the losses of Andong's Iron Cavalry will definitely not be small.

Nowadays, every Anton Iron Cavalry soldier is extremely precious to Li Fei. He must have to lose one less Anton Iron Cavalry Li Fei and avoid losing one less.

Therefore, if you can attack the rebels off guard, you can quickly defeat the rebels like the city of Nanyang.

"It's a pity that because Zhang Xunshi often takes the initiative to attack sneak attacks, the anti-army has always been on guard. Even if we attack, the effect will probably not be much better than head-on battles." Li Fei said a little disappointed.

"Sir, the chance of a surprise attack on the anti-military camp may not be great, but the surprise attack on the anti-military rations will surely be 100% successful!" Military advisor Mao Youde suggested beside him.

"This proposal is very good. The main purpose of the surprise attack is to catch the enemy off guard, shake the enemy's morale in an instant, and let the enemy lose his position, thus defeating the enemy in one fell swoop. If the enemy's food supply can be cut off, it will also cause panic and unstable army morale. At that time, there will be no supply of food and grass, and the enemy can only retreat. When the enemy abandons the turtle shell of the camp, retreats, and then attacks the enemy's ambush, you can easily defeat the enemy!" Li Fei smiled, obviously agreeing with Mao Youde's proposal.

—————

He just cut off the anti-military rations route. Li Fei did not let all the Andong cavalry be dispatched, but only four thousand cavalry be dispatched, led by Lu Xin.

One thousand eight hundred of them were old soldiers of Andong Iron Cavalry, and two thousand two hundred were recruited in Nanyang City. This was to train these recruits by the way to get them adapted to the battlefield as soon as possible.

"Kill!" Only fifteen miles away from the anti-army camp, Lu Xin rushed to the anti-army grain transport team with four thousand cavalry.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The generals of the anti-military grain transport team were shocked and shouted in shock when they saw the 4,000 Andong Iron Cavalry rushing towards them.

This anti-military grain transport team seems to have 5,000 people, with a large number. But in fact, only 1,500 are anti-military soldiers, and the other 3,500 are just coolies captured by the anti-military soldiers. Even these 1,500 anti-military soldiers are all the garrisons of the former counties that rebeled and surrendered, and their combat power is no stronger than the raiders.

Even the only general in the entire anti-military grain transport team had war horses, and the other soldiers were infantrymen.

Such a power is not enough to resist the four thousand Iron Cavalry in any case.

The general of the anti-military grain transport team did not even have the courage to resist. He turned around the war horse he had sat down and prepared to leave everyone else and run away.

"Puff!" However, before he escaped ten meters, an arrow penetrated his chest. The body of the general of the anti-military grain transport team fell from the horse's back.

The general of the anti-military grain transport team not only turned around and fled, but was also shot and killed without a few steps. The other anti-military soldiers had no courage to resist and also turned around and fled.

However, they were just infantrymen, how could they run over the four-legged war horses of Anton's Iron Cavalry?

"Swish swish swish swish---" First, the two thousand and two hundred new recruits shot and killed more than twenty fleeing anti-army soldiers with ordinary bows and arrows in their hands.

Immediately afterwards, the war horses were caught up in the blink of an eye, and other fleeing anti-army soldiers.

"Puff!" The horse spear in Lu Xin's hand penetrated the bodies of the rebel soldiers.

Other veterans of Anton's Iron Cavalry also fiercely used the horse spear in their hands to pierce the bodies of other anti-army soldiers who were catching up with.

However, those new recruits did not shoot very well. Although they dared to slash the anti-soldiers, some of them hit the anti-soldiers, and after being slapped the blood of the anti-soldiers, the strong and pungent smell of blood penetrated into their nostrils, instantly making their faces pale. A few people with worse will even vomited directly.

Fortunately, the anti-army soldiers were only concerned about escaping, did not turn around and counterattack, causing almost no casualties.

"After all, the recruits who have only been training for twenty days, are not easy to do this for the first time. I hope that after this first bloody life, they can adapt quickly. Otherwise, if they really go to the battlefield, they don't know how many people can survive!" Lu Xin shook his head and sighed.

Of course, Lu Xin could not be slutty at all. This is how anyone who joins the army will not come from, either the enemy dies or the person dies. It is difficult for a soft-hearted person to survive from the battlefield.

After about dozens of breaths, I saw that I could not escape the war horses no matter how hard I ran. Except for more than 300 killed, the remaining more than a thousand anti-army soldiers simply threw away their weapons and knelt down and surrendered.

A battle to rob food was quickly over less than half a quarter of an hour.

Lu Xin and others intercepted more than 10,000 stones of food, which was enough for more than 60,000 anti-army soldiers to eat for ten days, and the harvest was really great!
