Outside the city of Jinyang, the Sui army surrounded on all sides, beating drums and noisy sky, the armor was strong, and the spears were like a forest, besieging Yang Liang, the king of the Han Dynasty, and it was difficult to fly with wings. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

That Yang Liang led a group of subordinate civil and military officials, standing at the head of the city, looking at the fierce battle formations below, the people and horses outside the city exceeded 10,000, boundless, and the black pressure was overwhelming.

Rows of sharp arrows shot like locusts at the city walls, which was just a signal to the defenders of the city to put pressure on them.

Seeing this scene, Yang Liang's face changed greatly, like ashes, he never expected that in less than two months, more than 200,000 troops on the front line were defeated in a battle, and they were destroyed one after another, and the imperial army was like a bamboo, not far away, directly outside Jinyang City.

"It's over, the lonely king is gone!" Yang Liang's body trembled slightly, almost bursting into tears.

Wang Fei arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, please think about it in the long run!" ”

Yang Liang said angrily: "At this time, what else are you talking about?" None of your schemes can work, and the lonely king is now only a lonely city, what use can it be? ”

Wang Hao said: "Your Highness, we can send people to break through the siege and go to several surrounding states and counties, Liang Bodhisattva is the history of Luzhou Assassination, Wei Daozheng is the history of Hanzhou Assassination, Zhang Boying is the history of Zezhou Assassination, please come and relieve the siege from all walks of life." ”

Some of the attendants and Wenchen were silent, they knew in their hearts that the troops in the neighboring states were only 10,000 or 20,000 people, and now seeing that Commander Yang Su was approaching 100,000 troops on the periphery, it was impossible for anyone to rush to the rescue of King Qin.

Wang Jun can be said to know the mentality of everyone, so he suggested: "General Qiao Zhongkui is in the Yanmen area, besieging Li Jing, the governor of Daizhou, and he is very powerful, he can be adjusted to lead the army back to defense, once he comes back with tens of thousands of people and confronts the imperial army outside the city, the other people will have the courage to come." ”

Yang Liang was like a drowning person, seeing a straw that could continue his life, he must give it a try, and said urgently: "Then quickly arrange the men and horses to break through the siege, rush to Yanmen, and ask General Qiao Zhongkui to return to the defense and solve the danger of Jinyang." ”

That night, at the four city gates, there were dead soldiers who chose to break through, intending to send a distress letter to the outside.

The four roads finally succeeded all the way, hundreds of people broke through, and the remaining few people rode away towards the Yanmen area.

However, when the people who asked for help came to the area of Daizhou, they heard that General Zhong Kui and Yang Yichen, the general sent by the imperial court, were in a fierce battle and had been ambushed.

It turned out that more than a month ago, when Qiao Zhongkui led the army to count several cities and besiege Li Jing in Daizhou, Yang Guang, the new monarch of the imperial court, had already worn a secret decree and sent Yang Yichen to lead 20,000 cavalry and infantry to go out of Xicheng at night to Daizhou to rescue.

This Yang Yichen was unfavorable in the first battle, and felt that his troops were not enough, so he used a strategy to clear out all the cattle and donkeys in the army, cleared thousands of heads, and ordered hundreds of soldiers, each with a drum, to secretly drive the cattle and donkeys into the valley, which was unexpected.

At dusk, Yang Yichen fought Zhong Kui again, and as soon as the two armies fought, Yang Yichen ordered the cattle and donkeys to march quickly.

For a time, the war drums shook the sky, the dust filled the sky, Qiao Zhongkui's army didn't know what it was, and thought it was an ambush, so it was greatly defeated, Yang Yichen counterattacked, broke Qiao Zhongkui, and became famous in a battle.

When the dead soldiers sent out by Yang Liang to rescue learned the news that General Qiao Zhongkui had been defeated, they cried loudly, knowing that they were incapable of doing anything and lived up to the trust of the King of Han, and killed themselves one after another.

About half a month passed, Yang Su did not rush to urge the army to attack on all fronts, but besieged Jinyang City, and soon there was a shortage of grain and grass in the city, although several military warehouses in the Sui Dynasty were abundant, but the people did not have much surplus food in their hands, since the imperial army besieged Jinyang, there was only one month's rations, and it was impossible to buy excess food.

Today, some ordinary households in the city have run out of food, and many people are dying of hunger, and they are wailing.

Of course, the merchants, nobles, and clansmen in the city have accumulated grain, but they don't sell it at all, because no one knows how long this war will last?

Yang Liang did not wait for reinforcements to come, but learned that the grain and grass in the city were empty, and many people were starving to death, and there was about to mutiny.

The grain and grass in the army can still be used by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses for more than half a month, but what will happen after half a month?

As the days passed, the rebels from all sides saw that Yang Liang was thin, and they had no hope, so they surrendered one after another and returned to the imperial court.

In the end, only the lonely city of Jinyang City remained.

In these days, Yang Liang's psychology is getting more and more gray, getting drunk all day long, paralyzing himself, and he also knows that he will either live and die with the city, or open the city gate and surrender.

On this day, Yang Su's patience had run out, and he ordered the three armed forces to fight, ready to attack the majestic Jinyang City at any time.

He sent people to shoot a lot of iron crossbows, and the crossbow arrows were tied with letters to persuade them to surrender, and some of them advised the people and nobles in the city to resist as soon as possible, and to respond to the imperial army, and warned the officers and soldiers guarding the city to give up resistance, otherwise, they would all be killed for the crime of plotting rebellion.

Such a combination of soft and hard measures broke the resistance and fighting spirit of the defenders in the city, and made the army's morale float and panic all day.

How could Yang Liang have suffered such a torment? He really couldn't bear it, there was nothing to do, his mind was far from being so strong, and his body and mind were on the verge of collapse, and after listening to the advice of several lords and civil officials, he finally ordered to give up resistance, and despite the persuasion of some main battle factions, Kaesong surrendered.
