Chapter 492: Retreat from the enemy
Luo Zhaoyun decided to go to Yanmen and rescue Yang Guang, not for Yuzhong, nor for the Great Sui, but not to see the war in the north and suffer from the invasion of the Turkic iron cavalry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although Luo Zhaoyun is not completely hateful to foreigners, nor is he intolerant, it is true that the early stage of foreigners entering the Central Plains is often full of killings, and maybe decades later, he will consider absorbing Han people to maintain his rule, how many people have died tragically in these decades?
Luo Zhaoyun didn't want to see such a tragic situation happen, after all, those Turkic people would not have the state of Han etiquette, but should be soft-minded to the states and states, they were more about robbing, enslaving, killing, and occupying the mainstay, and the wild training had not been opened, and they must not be allowed to enter the Central Plains to burn the flames of war.
"Childe, but there are hundreds of thousands of cavalry in the Turks, and there are not many soldiers who go to Yanmen from all over the country, but the number will definitely not be too much, at present, the appeal of the Great Sui Imperial Court is declining, and there are thieves everywhere, and the prestige is not as good as before, the army of King Qin, you need to bring your own granary, travel thousands of miles, and finally arrive at Yanmen Pass, how much combat effectiveness and number can be left?"
Xiao Yiyi was also worried: "People from all walks of life do not belong to each other, even if they gather together, I am afraid it is not easy to coordinate, and they cannot act in unison, and in the face of the charging and killing of the Turkic iron cavalry, it is simply difficult to resist, and they cannot save the besieged Shengshang." ”
Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I won't know that I will die, and I still insist on sending them to death, although the number of Turks is large this time, they are almost out of the nest, they are not familiar with the Central Plains, they just have the idea of plundering, and they have not occupied the city for the time being, and the idea of completely conquering the Great Sui is destined for them not to stay for long." ”
He knew that the siege of Yanmen in history was finally lifted, and Yang Guang was not dead, so Luo Zhaoyun was very confident that he could resolve it.
Ning Muhe asked, "How many soldiers and horses does the son plan to bring with him?" ”
"Eighteen guards are enough."
"What, you only bring eighteen people?" The three girls were shocked.
"The new Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, follow me and don't need too many troops." Luo Zhaoyun smiled faintly, and then said, "Qingshuang, I need to bother you to do something for me." ”
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Luo Zhaoyun said: "Go to the grassland once, go to Kedun, and send me a letter!" ”
"Do you want to help the Great Sui retreat from the enemy by plotting against Kedun?" Qingshuang was very smart, and instantly thought of a possibility.
"Yes, Kedun is the princess of the Great Sui, from the last time we met, I can see that her heart is towards the Central Plains, has been dealing with the Khan, trying her best to stabilize the hearts of the grassland herdsmen, this time Shibi Khan is bent on going his own way, uniting many tribes, pouring out of the nest, the grassland must be empty, so, you help me send a letter to the past, tell her about the benefits, and persuade her to contain Shibi Khan and let him retreat!"
"Is Khedun so capable?" Qingshuang and others suspected that Shibi Khan had 400,000 troops, how could he be willing to listen to the views of the women in the rear and easily withdraw his troops?
Luo Zhaoyun smiled mysteriously and said: "Don't worry, I will send someone to send a letter to my father and General Xue Shixiong, so that the soldiers and horses of Zhuojun and Yuyang will go out of the customs, and take advantage of the absence of the grassland soldiers and horses to do some damage on the grassland. Unwilling to give up the clansmen like this, and the imperial army gathered in Yanmen County, the Turks would collapse without a fight. ”
After hearing this, the three daughters' eyes lit up, and they were impressed by his careful plan, and they were interlocked, and they counted Shibi Khan and others in it, and there was really a possibility of success.
"Okay, I'll go to the grassland!" Qingshuang bit her lip and agreed, although the grassland was very dangerous, she had to take a risk for Luo Zhaoyun's safety.
Xiao Yiyi said: "The letter to Luo Gong and General Xue Shixiong, I will send someone to deliver it, and it will definitely not delay time." ”
Luo Zhaoyun nodded and said: "I will set off tomorrow, try to hold off the Turkic army, and wait for the good news from your side, otherwise, the Central Plains will really be in danger!" ”
...........
"Woo woo woo-" Dozens of low bull horns blew, piercing the sky and resounding throughout the three armies.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of animal skin drums began to roar like thunder, and the Turkic warriors were forming formations, preparing to attack the city.
A square of one hundred people, commanded by a centurion, equipped with a ladder, formed a small attacking group.
Ten squares formed an independent phalanx, led by a commander of thousands; two thousand-man teams, commanded by a bone dulong; a phalanx of five thousands, governed by a large household; The 10,000-man squad was commanded by the Grand Captain. Further up, there are also generals, responsible for several teams of 10,000 people, although the organization is simple, proportional to the number of people, but it is very practical and not disorderly at all.
One side of Yanmen County is leaning on a mountain range, and the terrain is limited, so it is impossible to form a phalanx, so it is surrounded on three sides, and rounds of onslaught are carried out every day.
In the early morning of this day, before the Turks launched an attack, Yang Guang personally came to supervise the battle, observe the enemy's situation, and boost the morale of the three armies by the way, otherwise, with the only remaining food, weapons, and soldiers, it would be difficult to hold on.
When Yang Guang stood at the head of the city, he saw the crowd of ironclad people below, who were assembling and arranging the formation, and the cavalry was galloping, rolling up sand and dust and smoke to the sky, making the sky above the Turkic army dusty and murderous, which looked very shocking.
This is a kind of psychological warfare of the Turks, when forming a formation, they often use some cavalry to run back and forth in all directions, and the horses' hooves beat the earth, making a deafening sound, making the blood of the soldiers boiling, the majesty is great, strengthening the morale, and at the same time striking the confidence of the enemy army to resist.
"Surrounded by a lot, haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?" Yang Guang was a little disheartened when he saw the crowds of Turkic cavalry and infantry, and the emperor's majesty and self-confidence were gone, and he felt that he could not escape this time.
"Your Majesty, I haven't arrived for the time being, but the government soldiers in Taiyuan and Shangdang should be able to arrive first, but if the number is small, they will definitely not dare to come to the rescue alone, and they will gather all the armies before they dare to come over to relieve the siege." Pei Yun said.
"Waste, a group of waste, don't tens of thousands of people dare to come to the rescue, even if they rush into the city and help defend the city, there are not many soldiers in the city at the moment, and they are dying." Yang Guang was angry and helpless, and he was about to cry.
At this moment, there were Turkic generals with sharp eyes, and found that there were officials of the Great Sui at the head of the city, and immediately waved the order flag, launched an attack in advance, and in an instant, 100,000 people who controlled the strings launched an arrow attack, and fired 10,000 arrows at the battlement of the wall of Yanmen County.
Woohoo!
A sharp sound rang out, piercing the sky and completely covering the city.
"Your Majesty, be careful, the Turks have released arrows."
Yang Guang was in a hurry and began to flee to the city, but the arrows came, the officials and soldiers had no time to take care of themselves, and they avoided one after another, many people screamed, Yang Guang's yellow robe was too long, and he stepped on the corner of his robe skirt in a panic, and the whole person fell and rolled down the stone stairs.
