The sun had sunset in the mountains, and it was getting dark.

A line of geese flew by in the distance, hovering over the battlefield and making mournful sounds.

The clouds in the western sky were like fire, and it seemed that the blood on the battlefield had been splashed to the sky.

Outside the city of Yanmen.

The water of the Hutuo River had been stained red with blood, and the battlefield was littered with corpses in the wolf banner of the Turks and the red flag of the Sui army. It was getting dark, but the fight continued.

The fierce siege has been going on for five days.

For five days, the Turks besieged on all sides, and there was no pause.

And the Xiaoguo army in the city also lived up to the name of the royal guard, repelling the Turkic attacks again and again.

On the battlefield, the horn sounded again, and the Turks did not give up and organized another tidal attack before dark, and countless simple ladders and wooden ladders were pushed forward.

More Turkic cavalry dismounted and came to the city in a dense phalanx, raising their bows together, ready to cover the siege with a salvo.

A strong smell of blood rose to the sky.

The battlefield was only cleaned when it was dark, and at this time, after a day of bloody fighting, thousands of corpses of Sui and Turkic soldiers were piled up under the city.

On the city of Yanmen, the drums are bursting.

Wang Rengong, the governor of Mayi and the governor of Mayi, wore iron armor and came to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Turkic wolf cubs are about to attack the city again, please ask Your Majesty Xu Chen to lead the cavalry out of the city to rush and kill."

In the past five days, the attack and defense of Yanmen have been fierce, the outer fortifications have all been lost, and there is not a single fort camp left, so they can only retreat in this city.

However, the courage of the Sui army is indeed not ordinary, although the Turks have many soldiers, but the siege methods are simple, and there is a lack of equipment, and Yanmen City is a first-class fortress in the world.

But even so, every day at a critical time, the city has to risk death to fight out of the city, otherwise, under the overwhelming arrow rain attack of the Turks, the people on the head of the city will not be able to stand, let alone face the Turks who are attached to the ant-attached attack on the city.

At this time, the only way to do this was to open the city gates, send elite cavalry to kill the death squad, and kill and slash along the city walls, so as to defuse the fierce siege of the Turks.

However, the casualties of this counterattack were too great.

Every time I go out of the city, at least more than 30% of them have to die in battle.

As the governor and the taishou, Wang Rengong performed extremely well despite his age, and he attributed the Turkic attack to his own dereliction of duty, so he asked for atonement for his sins, and led his team out of the city every time to charge into battle.

Although he was wounded in more than ten places, he still refused to let go of his duty to lead the charge.

The emperor hadn't slept well for a few days, his face was pale, and his eyes were red and swollen in particular.

Although the Turks had not yet entered the city, their arrows rained so violently that they often fired rockets into the city. The houses within 100 steps of the city wall in Yanmen City were almost demolished, one to prevent Turkic rockets, and the other was to demolish the houses and take wood and stones to the city for the purpose of defending the city.

The emperor stayed in a mansion in the center of the city, but still could not be stable, from time to time there will be Turks with stone-throwing carts to throw stones in, although the Turks have poor technology, but these days also began to rush out some stone-throwing carts, although this thing is not accurate, but the victory is in the long range, can cross the city wall directly to the city, and even sometimes throw poisonous smoke, fireballs in.

Yang Guang has never experienced such an embarrassing moment.

"Wang Qing, you have more than ten heavy injuries, it is better to let other generals lead the team."

"Your Majesty, the minister can fight again!"

The emperor looked at the veteran and couldn't help but be moved to tears.

"In that case, then ask the general to fight again."

"Your Majesty, if the old minister dies in battle, please ask Your Majesty to be able to compensate the son of the minister."

Yang Guang also spared no expense at this time.

"In the past, the armies were unfavorable, and the public broke the thieves with one army, the ancients said, the generals of the defeated army could not speak bravely, and the generals could do whatever they wanted? Today, the public is an assault general, and he is also expected to be a deputy. I gave ten good horses, one hundred taels of gold, and the Marquis of Yanmen! ”

"The subordinates of the public who go out of the city with them will be given three turns, and they will be added to the ranks!"

"Thank you!"

Wang Ren bowed to Xie Junen and left.

He came to the barracks and yelled.

"Where are Liu Wuzhou and Wei Chigong?"

The two strong-looking generals of Hedong suddenly came out, "The last general." ”

"Your Majesty has agreed that we will attack again, and promise that all soldiers who leave the city will be awarded three times and increased by one rank. Ready, armor for battle! ”

Liu Wuzhou waved the copper shovel in his hand and said with a smile, "Damn, I can finally kill again." Jingde, can you fight again? ”

Liu Wuzhou was Wang Rengong's subordinate when he was in western Liaoxi, but because of Luo Cheng's assassination, he felt guilty and resigned angrily and returned to his hometown in Mayi, Hedong.

As a result, not long after, Wang Rengong also asked to be transferred out of Liaoxi, and the last time he set up an envoy, he was awarded the governor of Yanmen and the Taishou of Mayi, commanding the three counties of Yanmen, Loufu and Mayi, and commanding 12,000 troops.

After Wang Rengong arrived in Mayi, he began to reorganize the army, set up a military government, and train the government soldiers, he personally went to Liu Wuzhou's house to meet this old subordinate, and said that Luo Ben wanted to transfer him to his side, and when the two sighed, Wang Rengong recruited Liu Wuzhou to his command.

So Liu Wuzhou came out again and served as the general of the Eagle Yang Lang under the Yanmen Governor's Mansion.

And Wei Chigong is also a native of Mayi, a fellow villager with Liu Wuzhou, when he was young, he was engaged in iron-making, and during the first and second Eastern Crusades, he went to Zhuojun to build weapons.

After Liu Wuzhou returned to his hometown, he and Yu Chigong were quite compatible, and the relationship between the two was good. also knew his brave skills, so he recommended Wei Chigong to Wang Rengong, and after Wang Rengong tried his skills, he made an exception and awarded the position of captain.

In this siege of Yanmen, Wang Rengong had already come to meet the Son of Heaven, so as soon as the Turks came over, the soldiers of the Yanmen Governor's Mansion did not react, and finally had to retreat into Yanmen in a hurry.

Yu Chi Gong was like a piece of black charcoal, black and strong, burly, with big shoulders and a round waist, especially the leopard's head ringed on the head, like a fierce Zhang Fei.

He has been striking iron since he was a child, so his strength is very great, and his family used to be several generations of military positions, he also practiced riding and archery horse lances when he was young, and he was good at using a nine-section steel whip, which was very martial in the frontier.

Hearing Liu Wuzhou ask him if he still had the strength.

Wei Chigong picked up the iron whip and whipped it, and a stone was smashed to pieces.

"Do you say that the Turkic people's heads are as hard as this upper stone?"

Liu Wuzhou laughed, "Amazing, let's compare the two of us in a while, and see who kills more Turkic wolf cubs!" ”

Wei Chigong was not to be outdone.

"It's better than that, but it's a little bit of a lottery, what if you lose?"

Liu Wuzhou said with a smile, "I have a few Goguryeo slaves and maids in my family, if I don't kill as many as you, I will give you two." ”

"Okay, it's decided, but it's not a send, it's a loss to the two of me."

"You win first."

"I'm sure I'll win you."

Liu Wuzhou and Wei Chigong put on armor while talking, and after a while, both of them were fully equipped, Liu Wuzhou held a horse lance in his hand, carried a copper mace, and carried a bow and horizontal knife at his waist.

Yu Chigong held an iron-wrapped black lacquered eight horse lances, carried nine steel whips, two bows, and three knives.
