Chapter 62: The Siege in the Middle of the Night

As night fell, there was silence and no sound. The more this is the case, the more the soldiers defending the city dare not relax in the slightest, and they patrol again and again, and as soon as there is any trouble, they immediately raise their vigilance, and they do not know how many times they tossed over and over again.

On the surface, it seems to be quiet and peaceful, but in fact, it is turbulent. The top leaders of both sides did not fall asleep, and they were in a hurry to win, and kept giving orders to recruit soldiers from the rear to enhance the chances of victory.

And Yang Guang has been sulking, so far there has been no movement from Jinyang, Wang Shichong, who is far away in Huainan, can be prescient, and why did Li Yuan and others not show up for a long time?

During the day today, if it weren't for Wang Rengong's killing, Wang Shichong would have led an army of 100,000 to come, but I am afraid that Daizhou City would have been flattened by Shibi.

"Big brother, what's on your mind?" Yuan Ziyan came to Yang Guang's side and asked.

"I'm worried about Li Yuan's traitor!"

Yang Guang did not hide what he thought in his heart, but he didn't know that Yuan Ziyan had a relationship with Li Yuan's second son, Li Shimin, and secretly promised that he would not speak ill of him.

"Big brother, I think you're thinking too much. Li Yuan is a courtier, and he has a fortune to take every year, how can he not share the king's worries. ”

"It's been a long time, why don't you see anyone coming from Jinyang, could it be that they want to wait for me and Shibi to fight and lose both, and he will take advantage of the fisherman?" Yang Guang said annoyedly.

"It's definitely not like that, I heard that Li Yuan was transferred to Hedong, Shanxi Province as a comfort ambassador, and when he arrived at Longmen, he encountered a peasant uprising in Muduan'er. Li Yuan is also an old man in his fifties, personally led the troops to defeat the rebel army, and also recruited more than 10,000 people. After that, he attacked Chai Baochang, a thief in Jiangzhou, and tens of thousands of people were dropped. Yuan Ziyan said in one breath.

"Why are you so concerned about Li Yuan?" Yang Guang asked suddenly.

Yuan Ziyan was stunned, and said secretly in his heart, I pay attention to him, this girl is concerned about his son Li Shimin, of course, she can't say that, he smiled: "Such a big event shocked the government and the opposition, of course I have heard a little." ”

"Ziyan, you are really different from other women." Yang Guang praised.

"Hehe, big brother, are you praising me or criticizing me?" Yuan Ziyan scratched his little head and stuck out his little tongue.

Hehe, Yang Guang rarely showed a smile for a few days, and looked at the sky with Yuan Ziyan, and the star representing the emperor on the northwest cadre position flickered, indicating the imminent demise of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Hey, Yuan Ziyan could see it, and couldn't help but sigh softly, in her eyes, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was not as mediocre as later generations, but very diligent and well-informed. It's just that he may be suitable to be a prince who leads troops to fight, rather than an emperor who is high up and has so much power that there is no supervision.

And around the Emperor Star, several stars are also getting brighter, and they are surrounding it at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it is the heroes of all walks of life who are rising, maybe the brightest one represents Li Yuan, or Li Shimin may also be.

Although Yuan Ziyan saw that Li Shimin was a handsome guy, it was inevitable that he would secretly agree, but it did not come to the point of life and death. If there was a space-time tunnel in front of her that she could go home, she would have left everything behind, and she would go back to the future, and she would not remember too many people and too many things here.

Li Yuan replaced the Sui Dynasty and established the Tang Dynasty, which is a general trend in history. Moreover, the glory of the Tang Dynasty is indelible throughout the history of China. Yuan Ziyan will not change history by relying on the strength of one person, let alone abandon the development of history to maintain the continuation of the Sui Dynasty.

"Ziyan, is there a star in the sky that represents Li Yuan?" Yang Guang suddenly asked.

"Why do you ask?" Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but smile and asked.

Yang Guang was silent for a long time before he said: "Actually, I have always been favored by my grandfather and parents, and when my grandfather was in power, he intended to let my father make me the crown prince. ”

But they later set up their eldest son, Yang Yong. There is a difference between the young and the old, which is also a bad habit in ancient times. Yuan Ziyan analyzed.

"Although Yang Yong is generous, his talent and appearance are not as good as mine, is it just that I was born later than him, so I have to rely on his snort?" A look of anger appeared in Yang Guang's eyes.

"And then you took his place?"

Yuan Ziyan said very tactfully, Yang Guang glanced at her, and said bluntly: "Yang Yong was indeed pulled down by me, and I did this to comply with the will of heaven. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Yang Guang was silent for a while, and then propped his hands in front of the window, his expression was very complicated, sometimes happy, sometimes frightened, "I led my troops to fight when I became an adult, and I didn't think about these things at that time. But then I happened to hear a conversation between my father and the queen mother, so I moved to bring down Yang Yong? ”

"What did they say?" Yuan Ziyan asked curiously.

"It's just a story." Yang Guang looked into the distance with his eyes and said faintly: "At that time, the father and the queen mother were in the court, advancing and retreating together, and they chatted about the past that day. The queen mother said that before giving birth, she had a dream, dreaming that a huge dragon flew out of her arms, golden scales and golden claws, very powerful, and flew to the top of the nine heavens, but flew more than ten miles, suddenly fell, and broke the tail, and then felt unbearable abdominal pain, I was born the next day. ”

Yuan Ziyan didn't speak, this dream is very close to reality, the dragon represents the Son of Heaven, and the distance of this flight is the reign time, as for falling, no matter which interpretation, it is definitely not auspicious.

Yang Guangwu fell into deep thought, "At that time, my father did not speak for a long time, and finally sighed heavily, Ah Yi is very smart and has won my heart, but this dream is very unlucky, if the throne is passed here, I am afraid that the Yang family will be ruined." ”

Yuan Ziyan smirked twice and agreed, but Yang Guang's eyes lit up with a raging fire, "At that time, the queen mother argued for me, and praised Yang Yong's no." However, my father made up his mind and would rather have a nest emperor than a dead emperor! Ziyan, I was really disappointed at that time, it turned out that my father and queen mother set up Yang Yong, who was useless, as the crown prince, but it was just for a dream! Ziyan, tell me about it, if people's opportunities are trapped by a dream, then what's the point of living?! ”

"No matter what the reason is, Yang Yong was the eldest son at that time, although he was not as outstanding as you, there was nothing wrong with your parents choosing him at that time."

"That's not right!" Yang Guang said angrily: "The prince is the continuation of the country, how can he avoid being virtuous? Therefore, I must break this old custom of establishing a successor, and in the future, I will be canonized as the crown prince and become a generation of Ming Jun! ”

Yuan Ziyan heard it, and when she said it, it was still for Yang Gao, who pity the hearts of parents all over the world.

"Now I am also superstitious, I had a dream a long time ago, I dreamed that the plum tree was blooming, and the water was full of ......"

Yuan Ziyan chuckled when he heard this, knowing that Yang Guang was still not at ease with Li Yuan, so he interrupted him with a smile and said, "Big brother, you have been troubled by dreams, and you already know that dreams are illusory and ethereal, so why did you let a dream chill the hearts of loyal ministers?" ”

"Ziyan, you mean, I'm suspicious?" Yang Guang asked dissatisfiedly.

"Of course I don't dare, but if the eldest brother has too many doubts in his heart, then it will make the ministers shudder and not tell the truth. Even if the dream suggests, where the general trend is, how can you and I change it? Yuan Ziyan said vaguely.

While the two were talking, Xu Tingfu stumbled and ran in, and when he came in, he knelt on the ground tremblingly, pointed outside, and said in a crying voice: "Your Majesty, it's not good, Shibi is calling again!" ”

Yuan Ziyan hurriedly came to the top of the city tower with Yang Guang, only to see the torches all over the mountains illuminate the night like day, and the Turkic soldiers raised their shields and launched a fierce attack on Daizhou City again.

And looking at it, the number of people is much more than before, there are 200,000 people, and it should be the team that has been reinforced.

In this era, there are about 130,000 people in the state city, excluding the fallen soldiers, and there is a gap in strength. Perhaps the Turkic Khan Shibi was also aware of this problem, and without hesitation, he gave the order for a general attack again.

A battle of flesh and blood started again dullly, the soldiers on the city tower kept throwing corpses and shooting arrows, countless Turkic soldiers fell to the ground in response, and the Turkic soldiers in the back row trampled on the corpses of their comrades, and rushed forward frantically again.

Fortunately, the iron gates had been replaced, but the sound of the crash of the rolling logs was louder, as if it was ringing in the bottom of my heart.

The soldiers on the tower kept wielding spears and broadswords, and many Turkic soldiers fell from the ladders.

"Chop their ladder!" Yuan Ziyan was anxious, and couldn't help shouting, the soldiers understood, and immediately slashed the big knife towards the cloud ladder erected by the Turks, the effect was excellent, and a large number of Turkic soldiers were temporarily suppressed.

However, the success was short-lived, and the Turks were prepared for it, and soon they erected iron ladders, and the method of felling failed.

This battle lasted from late night to the early morning of the next day, and the corpses of the Turkic soldiers at the ladder below the tower and at the city gate were not carried away in time, which did not conform to the laws of the battle at all.

Seeing that the corpses were piled up higher and higher, almost to the point of half the height of the city tower, Wang Rengong and the others finally saw the clue, maybe the other party wanted to build a natural step with the flesh and blood of people, and jumped into the city from above the corpse.

As a last resort, Wang Rengong had to send people to pour large barrels of fuel oil and throw down dozens of torches to burn the corpses.

The smoke was thick with the smell of burnt human flesh, and many people vomited when they heard it, and the raging fire formed a natural barrier, forcing the Turks to temporarily stop their movements.

Shi Bi was furious again, in the Turks, the corpse must be buried in the earth, and if it is cremated, the soul will not be liberated.

"Yang Guang, I am inseparable from you!"

Shi Bi let out a beastly roar, but given the high level of fire and the dead remains of his fellow brothers, most of the Turkic soldiers were very affectionate and mentally stimulated, so there was a chaotic situation of disobeying orders and snatching the corpses of their friends.

As a last resort, Shibi had to announce a temporary withdrawal of troops and wait for the fire to subside.
