Chapter 323: Bloody Battle
、、、、、、、、、、
From time to time, people fell to the ground from arrows on the towers, and corpses were strewn all over the open spaces on the walls. Arrows flew in the air, soldiers shouted and ran on the walls, shouting one after another. At the head of the city, the sound of catapults and longbows firing was continuous, shaking people's eardrums with a faint pain.
Pei Renji and Song Laosheng had already put all their forces into the battle, and even the residents of the city were mobilized to join the ranks of the war. Although they could not go into battle to kill the enemy in person, they also formed various support squads to transport arrows and stones for the Sui soldiers, and the women also took on the job of treating the wounded, and all of them fought tenaciously.
At this time, Yanmen Pass had completely become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, full of corpses and stumps and broken arms, and the blood stained the city walls red.
The Turks were already completely insane, and they did not leave the Sui army a chance to breathe at all. The battle at night was no longer divided into several rounds and rounds, and the besieging troops were completely attacking.
It has been an hour since the battle was going on, the Sui army was exhausted, and the Turkic army was also fighting with the last bit of energy, waving their weapons mechanically...... Now it's up to whoever has the stronger will to have the last laugh.
Yang Guang also knew that the battle situation was at the last moment, and he was also restless, standing in front of the window and watching the fire on the city.
"Your Majesty, the last general Song Laosheng asks to see you." An anxious voice sounded outside the door.
"General Song, fast forward!" Yang Guang hurriedly said. He also wanted to know how the war was going so far.
The door "creaked" open, and Song Laosheng strode directly in front of Yang Guang.
I saw that he had been wounded in many places, only after a simple bandage, and some red blood oozed from the white gauze on his arms and shoulders, which looked terrifying.
Song Laosheng didn't care about etiquette at this time, so he stepped forward and grabbed Yang Guang and walked out.
As he walked, he said: "Your Majesty, the Turks are attacking the city, and Shibi Khan and his sons have personally gone into battle, and the Turks have even rushed up to the Khan's bodyguards. The offensive was very fierce, and now there were many places on the city for the Turks to break through, and the situation was dangerous. The last general made a bold suggestion and dared to ask His Majesty to move the city and personally beat the drums to cheer for the soldiers of our army. ”
Yang Guang was only wearing a golden silk robe at this time, and his hair was also combed for him by Yang Luoqi just now.
Hearing that he was going to fight in the city, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered in his heart.
But after seeing his worried daughter Yang Luoqi, he suddenly realized that if he was timid, the city would be broken tonight. After breaking the city, not only did he become a prisoner, but he was afraid that his daughter would also become a war advantage of the Turks and suffer humiliation. So, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement: "Okay! I'll go with you to the city wall! ”
"Daddy! The child will come with you! Yang Luoqi also raised her eyebrows and said in a coquettish voice.
"Luo Qi, you don't know martial arts, you haven't even held a sword in your daily life, how can you go up to the city wall?" Yang Guang frowned.
"Even if my daughter can't fight, she can bandage the wounds of the soldiers! Deliver arrows! The princess of the Great Sui also has to work for the Great Sui! Yang Luoqi said without showing weakness.
Yang Guang hesitated for a moment, and then immediately said, "Okay! Let's die together if our father and daughter want to die! ”
After that, the group went to the city under the leadership of Song Laosheng.
At this time, I saw that the city wall was full of fire, and my ears were full of the sound of fighting.
Song Laosheng personally brought several forbidden soldiers to guard Yang Guang's side.
Yang Guang shouted loudly at this time: "All my great Sui men are heroes, and I am with you!" Together, we can defeat the Turks! ”
With that, he raised his mallet and struck it violently on a drum on the tower.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
The sound of the drum shook the entire Yanmen Pass.
The Sui army on the city wall was thrilled when they saw the emperor personally beating drums to help them, and their morale was greatly high.
A general even shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has come up and fought with us, what are you afraid of?" Follow me and drive these damned steppe barbarians down! ”
After that, the nearby Sui troops rushed over with broadswords and shields. Fierce slaughter was waged against the Turks who had just reached the top of the city.
Although Yang Guang was surrounded by the forbidden army in the middle, he was temporarily safe. But there is still some fear in my heart, because a stray arrow flies over, and it can kill him.
He could now see the hell in front of him up close.
In the past, although Yang Guang had also personally conquered several times, he destroyed Chen and Tuyuhun, and also fought against Goryeo and Turks. But in those wars, he sat in a safe camp and commanded his ministers and generals to implement the battle plan. I didn't personally participate in the battle at all.
But now, he was in the middle of the battlefield, and every moment he could see someone dying, whether it was a Turkic or a Sui soldier, it made him feel panicked. There were even times when the soldiers of the two armies were fighting, and the blood splashed from the wounds would fly to Yang Guang's face, making him feel a fishy smell.
After being stirred up by the blood, Yang Guang didn't know why, his heart suddenly surged with blood, and he was full of pride.
He no longer had fear in his heart, but said loudly to Song Laosheng beside him: "General Song, you can also take people up to kill the Turkic dog thieves!" I only need to leave a few dozen Ouchi guards to protect me. All the forbidden troops are for me to fight! ”
Song Laosheng looked at Yang Guang with some consternation, obviously the emperor's reaction was beyond his expectations. He glanced at Pei Renji again, and saw that he also nodded slightly, and Fang hurriedly agreed. Then he led the thousand forbidden troops to also howl and rush into the battle group......
At the head of the city, the soldiers of the Sui army, who were already a little flustered and frightened, saw that the emperor and the princess actually went to the city to help the battle in person, regardless of their own dangers, they couldn't help but be arrogant, and their combat effectiveness instantly increased several times. They cursed their enemies and fought back fiercely.
With the concerted efforts of the Sui army, the Turks who had just rushed to the city and had not yet gained a firm foothold were all driven down.
Yang Guang was also excited to see that he had such an effect in his presence.
Ignoring the dissuasion of his ministers and officers, and under the protection of dozens of Ouchi guards, he continued to pacify the soldiers who were fighting bloody battles along the city walls.
At this time, Yang Luoqi, who had just bandaged the wound of a wounded soldier, quietly pulled his sleeve and said: "Father, although we have repelled this attack, the Turks will definitely not be willing to fail, and after resting for a while, they will still attack again." But they can rotate to attack, and we don't have a rotation to defend anymore. According to her daughter's opinion, only by letting Yuming attack from behind the Turks can she solve the current crisis! ”
Yang Guang nodded and said, "Luo Qi, I also understand the situation you said, but now there is a gap between Yuming and me, I'm afraid that he may not be willing to save me!" ”
Yang Luoqi stood up at this time and said, "Father, what if I have a way to eliminate the estrangement between your monarchs and ministers?" ”
"Elimination? How to eliminate it? Yang Guangqi asked.
"Use me to eliminate!" Yang Luoqi took a deep breath, and then said in a low voice: "Father, you can give me a marriage to Yuming." In this way, he will become your son-in-law, and he will naturally no longer worry about you being against him. He'll attack the Turks with all his might, and he'll save you! ”
When Yang Guang heard this, he was taken aback. He obviously didn't expect his daughter to come up with such a trick.
"Luo Qi, although your method is good, I have wronged you!" Yang Guang frowned and said: "And Yuming already has a wife, you are the dignified princess of the Great Sui, do you still want to go over to be a concubine for him?" ”
Yang Luoqi was about to answer that he didn't mind, but Pei Renji on the side was busy expressing his attitude and echoing: "Your Majesty, the princess's proposal is very good!" In fact, there is no need to worry about this, Yuming really married the princess, does he dare not make the princess his wife? Even if he doesn't stand up, His Majesty issues an edict to make the princess a first lady, won't that greatly overwhelm the eldest grandson? ”
Yang Guang thought about it, as long as Yuming didn't openly raise the banner to rebel, he wouldn't dare to be rude to Yang Luoqi. It's just that in this way, Yang Luoqi has to marry someone she doesn't want to marry. This also wronged her.
Yang Luoqi saw the look in Yang Guang's eyes, and guessed what he wanted to say.
She immediately raised a jade finger and shook it gently: "Don't worry about my father, I am willing to marry Yuming." He is young and handsome, from a famous family, and in the eyes of many women, he is also a very good candidate for a husband, and his daughter is not a disadvantage when she marries......"
Speaking of this, she approached Yang Guang's side and said in a low voice: "Father, I want to stay by Yuming's side and persuade him to always protect the Great Sui, instead of becoming the new Yang Xuangan!" ”
After Yang Guang heard this, he changed color, and he naturally knew how much benefit it would be to the world of the Great Sui if he could truly subdue Yuming and make him his arm, instead of rebelling.
Thinking of this, Yang Guang's eyes looking at Yang Luoqi became softer and softer.
After a while, he gently patted his daughter's fragrant shoulder and said, "Okay! Now that you've made a plan for this, the Emperor has no choice but to support you! ”
At this time, he turned his head and said to Pei Renji: "General Pei, please immediately use a carrier pigeon to inform Yuming and tell him: as long as he launches an attack immediately, in order to relieve the danger of Yanmen Pass." Not only did I forgive him for all his mistakes, but I also gave him Princess Loki in marriage! But if he still wants to use some crooked brains, he holds the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, picking up something cheap. Then I immediately declared him a rebel and called on the whole world to fight against him! ”
Pei Renji's heart sank, and he wondered whether to remind Yang Guang not to be so tough. But after thinking about it carefully, I still retracted the words of persuasion. He also felt that if he didn't threaten Yuming like this, he was afraid that the youngest marshal of the Great Sui, the first king with a different surname, would wait until the Sui army and the Turkic army had shed blood before launching an offensive.
