Chapter 151: Reinforcements Arrive
On the afternoon of the second day after being trapped in Yanmen City, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui personally went to the garrison camp in the city to appease the soldiers defending the city, and promised that those who had meritorious service in defending the city would be directly awarded the official position of Liupin after the war, and the reward of 100 horses of silk would be increased in turn.
The soldiers defending the city understood their situation, and knew that their fate had been linked with Yang Guang, the city was broken and either died, or the Turkic prisoners, or the slaves of the country, in order to save their lives, in order not to be slaves of the country, for Yang Guang's official reward, all of them burst out of morale, bravely killed the enemy, fought to the death, and Yanmen City was also under the outbreak of the soldiers, there was no danger, and it passed a few days!
Today is the ninth day of the siege of Yanmen City by the Turkic army, and the fourth day of the resumption of the siege after the siege of the city was suspended for four days.
Four days ago, Shibi Khan, who had prepared siege tools in advance, brazenly tore up his promise that he would not attack the city within five days, and directly launched the fiercest siege battle.
The morale of the Sui army was high, the Turkic army with a large increase in siege tools, both sides invested a lot of troops, the offensive and defensive battle of Yanmen City was extremely fierce, the Turks stormed, the Sui army defended dangerously, and it was day and night for four days!
In the past four days, the Turkic army has invested about 300,000 troops to attack the city, with more than 100,000 dead and wounded, and the Sui army has also invested 100,000 soldiers to defend the city, with more than 40,000 dead and wounded, but Yanmen City has never been breached!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
The huge sound of war drums sounded again in the Turkic camp outside the city, and more than 60,000 Turkic soldiers carried hundreds of siege ladders, and the tide was pouring towards Yanmen City.
Under the city walls, the Turkic soldiers carried wooden shields, set siege ladders on the top of the city, and frantically climbed up to attack.
Above the city, corpses are everywhere, more than 20,000 Sui soldiers are desperately resisting, in order to survive, for the sake of high-ranking officials and rewards, their morale is high, and they will not retreat!
Above and below the city, sharp arrows like raindrops shot out one after another, intersecting in the air, weaving an arrow net, whistling towards the top of each other's heads, shouting and screaming one after another.
……
In front of the Turkic camp, dozens of Turkic generals rode behind Shibi Khan, who also rode on a tall war horse and watched the battle from a distance, but his face was a little gloomy at this time.
He was a little difficult to suppress the anger in his heart, originally this only one battle can be broken through the Yanmen City, the soldiers under his command actually attacked for four days and four nights in a row, but they have never been able to break through the gate of this Yanmen City, he has paid the price of 100,000 dead and wounded, if this war can not catch Yang Guang, it will be a fiasco for him, and even his sweat position will be shaken, and he can no longer suppress the big tribe on the grassland!
At this time, one of the generals behind him spoke up: "Khan, although the soldiers of the Sui army resisted fiercely, they also suffered heavy casualties. Moreover, we have more troops than them, we still have more than 300,000 troops, and they only have more than 60,000 men, if this is consumed, their soldiers will definitely be killed and wounded, and the Khan does not need to worry! ”
Shibi Khan nodded, it is indeed the case, as long as he continues to attack the city, the Sui soldiers in the city will inevitably be exhausted and consumed!
"Pass my order, add another 30,000 troops, and attack the city with all your might!"
As soon as his order was issued, a scout sentry galloped in on horseback, "Report to the Khan, find out the urgent military situation!" ”
"Say!"
"Khan, half an hour ago, forty miles northwest of Yanmen City, I found a Sui cavalry of more than 5,000 people, and they were killing Yanmen City!"
"What? Forty miles away? Shibi Khan was shocked that the cavalry of the Sui army had reached forty miles away before being discovered, which made him have a hint of foreboding!
"Khan, since there are more than 5,000 cavalry in this Sui army, the patrol team of Wài Wéi cannot stop them, and the last general suggests sending troops to intercept them immediately!"
As soon as the general's voice fell, there was a burst of "Woo! The low horn sound of "Woo ......" sounded in the distance, echoing in the sky above the Turkic camp, and a Sui army battle flag and a Sui army cavalry suddenly appeared three miles northwest of the Turkic camp!
This is the cavalry team of the Sui army of 5,000 people just reported by the Turkic scouts, led by Wang Rengong, the Taishou of Mayi County, they killed from the northwest direction, and just rushed into a gap in the Turkic camp.
Shibi Khan was furious, "Annihilate them for me!" ”
Groups of Turkic cavalry slaughtered towards the Sui army, and in a moment a siege army of more than 10,000 people had been gathered.
"Woo ......" The long horn sounded, and more than 5,000 cavalry quickly retreated towards the way they came, and in a moment, the Sui cavalry disappeared into the depths of the mountain road!
The arrival of the cavalry of the Sui army, so that the defenders of the city were like thunder, although the cavalry is not to come, and do not go, only two quarters of an hour, but this is like a bright light in the darkness, so that the soldiers defending the city see the hope of the arrival of reinforcements, the Sui army battle flag made them realize that the army rescued by King Qin has arrived!
The defenders of the city suddenly burst out with momentum, bravely killing the enemy, and for a time the Turkic soldiers besieging the city were scattered, and they suffered heavy casualties.
At this time, the low horn sounded again from the Turkic camp outside the city, this was the order of the Turkic army, and the sudden appearance of more than 5,000 Sui cavalry disturbed the military spirit of the Turks, and they could no longer fight! Tens of thousands of Turkic armies retreated like a tide, leaving only thousands of severed limbs under the walls!
Laihu'er has been watching the movement of the Turkic army, and the appearance of the Sui cavalry means that the Qinwang rescue armies from all over the Great Sui will arrive one after another, and the Turkic army will have to deal with it! Sure enough, he saw a Turkic army of more than 30,000 people running towards the northwest, and the northwest camp of the Turkic army suddenly became a lot empty!
The movement of the Turkic army made the defenders of the city thunderous, and Laihu'er was even more happy, he drove his horse to the city, he wanted to report the good news to His Majesty!
Lai Hu'er just ran down the city, but saw that Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, surrounded by dozens of ministers, was rushing towards the city gate, Lai Hu'er turned over and dismounted, and quickly walked to Yang Guang and knelt on one knee, "Your Majesty, the enemy army besieging the city is temporarily retreating!" ”
"General, have reinforcements arrived?" Yang Guang was a little excited, and couldn't help but ask out loud!
"Report to Your Majesty, a cavalry team of 5,000 people suddenly appeared in the northwest camp of the Turkic army, causing confusion among the Turkic cavalry, look at the banner should be the garrison of Mayi County, at present this army has retreated, but the Turks have divided 30,000 troops to chase it!"
Is the overlord of the late Sui Dynasty good-looking?
