Chapter 194: Fame (1)

(Monthly pass, haha, there is a protector, thank you for the reward from my old friend NCIL.) )

Under the city of Yanmen, smoke and dust are billowing and iron riding is vertical and horizontal.

Arrows flew in the sky like locusts, shouting for slaughter in the city and above and below, and Turkic warriors attached themselves to the city walls like ants.

The soldiers of the Sui army defending the city fought hard, and above the city, swords and guns were raised, and the figures fell from the city like dumplings.

Blood is the cheapest fuel here, and life is not respected here.

This is like another Liaodong City, and it is also a flesh and blood slaughterhouse.

However, the Turkic Khan was much smarter than Yang Guang, and when he came to Yanmen County, he immediately divided his troops everywhere, attacked the city and pulled out the village, and captured the city of Yanmen County and more than 30 Wu forts.

In addition to declaring the power of the Turkic army, it was also deterring reinforcements from all walks of life.

By the end of August, there were more than 40 cities and forts in Yanmen County, and only Yanmen Jiancheng and the county seat of Laoxian County, which was guarded by Yang Jin, the second son of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, were still holding on.

In fact, the only difference from the battle of Liaodong City is that the Turks are not good at attacking the city, and the method is too simple, far less than the Sui Emperor Yang Guang led the army to attack the city.

And this also means that so many cities and forts in Yanmen County fell in a short period of time, not because the Turks were really that strong, but because most of the cities, after the arrival of the Turks, immediately opened the city gates and welcomed the Turks into it.

This time, a lot of people are thinking wrong.

At such a time when hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops are marching south, the consequences of Kaesong's surrender are extremely unwise.

The Turks also let go of their hands and feet at this time. Once entering the Sui City, the generals will give preferential treatment to the people. Actually, it's not possible.

The Turkic armies with a mixture of various tribes are simply not something that one or two generals can restrain at all.

Thereupon. Regardless of whether they surrendered or not, as long as the Turks entered it, the result was average, and the Turks burned, killed, and plundered in the city, doing everything.

The Yanmen cities were instantly reduced to the Futu Hell, with fireworks everywhere and blood jamming the city.

When the Turks drove the groups of Sui men and women away like livestock, they stayed behind them. Except for the rising smoke, there was a dead silence.

Yanmen City has been able to hold on until now, in fact, thanks to the emperor being here, don't look at being besieged by the Turkic army on all sides, and it looks like it is in danger.

But everyone understands that persistence, as long as it persists, reinforcements may appear under Yanmen City at any time.

Later, people said that Emperor Yang Guang of Sui would be holding his little son and was scared to cry.

This one is a bit like rumors and deliberate smears. Anyway, whether the emperor cries or not, it is certain that he will be frightened.

Growing up, he had never experienced such danger when he was surrounded by large armies. Although he looked down on kings such as Emperor Qin and Han Wu.

Always wanted to surpass them, but he never expected that there would be such a day. Like the Emperor of the Ancients, he was surrounded in a lonely city in the Northlands. It seems that the wings can't fly out.

There must be a loss of soul, and it is estimated that even give up resistance. The idea of making the Turkic khan a vassal is all there.

But the people around him didn't want to be taken captive with him to the Northland, and like Su Wu, he herded sheep for the Hu people and suffered.

The ministers led by Pei Ju persuaded one after another, and finally persuaded the emperor to move his butt and began to inspect the four cities.

Facing the hard-fought soldiers of the Sui army, Yang Guang finally cheered up and showed the courage that had been almost consumed.

made countless promises, first of all, I didn't fight Goguryeo anymore, and he seemed to understand at this time how unreliable it was to fight Goguryeo again.

Moreover, as long as you hold the city, increase the number of officials and enter the knighthood, and reward how many cattle, sheep and cloth, how many fields and mountains and forests, Balabala's empty check will not be opened.

Not to mention, the effect is really good.

It seems that the soldiers of the Sui army and the people in the city are still very willing to believe that the emperor will not lie, of course, if they understand what kind of creature the emperor is, especially if the emperor in front of them is still a mutant variety of this creature, they will definitely not be so desperate.

However, no matter what, defending Yanmen City is a good thing for the emperor, ministers, soldiers or the people in the city, so there is no need to be so harsh.

Therefore, under the rapid attack of the stormy waves crashing on the shore, in the case of lack of soldiers and food, the soldiers and civilians in Yanmen City worked together to defend the city, and the city was more and more stable.

At this time, the descriptions of later people were mixed with a lot of stories about asking for help, which sounded more like the plot in a romance novel, and it was impossible to do it accurately.

In fact, hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops went south and used Yanmen to ask for help? Who wouldn't know?

Besides, the Turkic army has surrounded Yanmen City with three layers inside and three layers outside, and you want to ask for help from the outside? I really think I have the courage of Gong Lu Bu.

…………………………

What's even more interesting is that although the Great Sui is already angry, Yang Guang is throwing its last breath at Yanmen.

But the word "co-ruler of the world" is really useful, especially when foreign enemies invade, and it can arouse the common hatred of people with different thoughts.

Just when the beacon fire in Yanmen County was everywhere, reinforcements from all walks of life in the south of Jindi were gathering to Jinyang one after another, but the Turkic soldiers were too strong, and everyone was hesitant, afraid that they would go, not only would it be useless, but they would also throw their lives in Yanmen.

If the emperor had a score, everyone would still be willing to fight to save it, but this emperor made three expeditions to Liaodong and killed so many soldiers, except for recruiting government soldiers again and again, and then setting off the flames of war, he seems to be indifferent to the others.

So many old ministers have passed away one after another in recent years, and there are very few who can enjoy the glory behind them, and the others have all died depressed with such and such crimes.

This is terrible, who knows if he will lead his troops to Yanmen and die in a battle, will he be charged with unfavorable rescue?

At this time, Ambassador Li Yuanli, who was the envoy of Hedong, was still fighting bandits, and he had no intention of coming to Jinyang to serve at all.

However, his second son, Li Shimin, who was gradually growing up, disagreed, and he said to his uncle Sun Yan that the Supreme was surrounded by Yanmen, and his father pretended not to know, which was very inappropriate.

Regardless of the outcome of the Battle of Yanmen, after this battle, he will definitely be scolded by the world, which is very unfavorable to his father's prestige.

As a father's son, I should relieve my father's troubles.

So, this young man from a prominent background and a newly married man in Kansai originally wanted to serve under his father, but at this time he changed his mind and threw himself under Yun Dingxing, the general of Zuotunwei, who was passing by and went north to rescue Yanmen.

At that time, he was only sixteen years old, although he was praised by Yun Dingxing, his military position was only a brigade commander, and he was still by Yun Dingxing's side, like an idler.

However, this is indeed the beginning of Li Shimin's fame.

Of course, this is also the battle of Li Po and Li Ding'an in the north.

He is much stronger than the sad Li Erke, as he gradually received the military power of Hengan Town, this is simply a golden opportunity.

The main force of the Turkic army was completely attracted to Yanmen County, and the Turkic soldiers and horses of all parts of Mayi were very leisurely.

The warriors of the Tiele people, the servant Bone Keith, were defeated in Yunnei, and the news that almost all the army was destroyed, they knew nothing.

And, most importantly, they don't have many troops outside of the dispersion.

……………………………………

Yunnei Horse Farm, at this time, the houses in the horse farm have been occupied by the Turks, and the pasture is also used by the Turks as their own pasture.

Several small tribes of Turkic subordinate tribes gathered a few hundred people to drive cattle and sheep to serve the khan.

They dragged behind the army, and they were quite clever to stay here in Yunnei Horse Farm, and when they came, they were used as a supplement to the Turkic tribes of Mayi, and in the name of it, they took care of the cattle and sheep for the tribes.

In fact, they also wanted to protect as much of their property as possible from being eaten by other tribesmen.

Because they knew very well that there was no need to think about the spoils, and if it was better, they could get some from the various noble generals and nobles, and if he was unlucky, he would go south with the army this time, and he would get nothing.

Therefore, finding ways to ensure that the loss of one's property is smaller, which is the best result.

This is the way of survival of the small tribes on the steppe, needless to say.

But the location of Yunnei Horse Farm is superior, and the people on Shenwu's side have also taken a fancy to it, of course, this time the harvest is quite fruitful, and there is no need to worry about some inconspicuous small tribes.

So they also handed over some of the cattle, sheep and horses here, sent some men over, let the people of the small tribe help to take care of them, and promised some slaves and booty, if they could wait until the army withdrew and returned to the north, this would be a very harmonious and harmonious ending.

Unfortunately, in wars, it is rare for everyone to be happy.

Almost a thousand Turkic people, on this pasture, raised a large number of sheep and war horses, without the slightest consciousness of being in the enemy territory.

However, we can't blame them too much.

Hundreds of thousands of troops, that kind of crazy momentum like a storm and clouds, is a rare sight in a hundred years on the grassland.

Such an army, just like a million troops appeared in Zhuo County, Hebei, and no one who has ever seen it will believe that such an army will face defeat.

And the army is ahead, and Ma Yi has actually been reduced to the rear of the army, what danger can a thousand Turkic warriors not be able to deal with?

Besides, Tieler's warriors are close at hand, and Shenwu's side is not far away, so there really isn't much to worry about.

In the Yunnei Horse Farm, the Turks, who have the responsibility of a mixture of herders and warriors, live a fairly good life.

Roasting mutton every day, drinking milk wine, and getting some women back from Shenwu, this kind of happy time, I have never enjoyed it so much in my life on the grassland.

If possible, these guys really want the war to continue, for they see it as a land for them to take and want, a paradise given to them by the gods.

Their numbers have been increasing and decreasing, because some guys still like Shenwu's side, and when they have the opportunity, they try their best to run there. (To be continued.) )
