429 The Siege of Yanmen

The order to turn around, the forbidden army that followed Yang Guang didn't know why at first; It wasn't until after entering Yanmen Pass that people with sensitive consciousness had already felt the danger, but fortunately, Yanmen County was not far ahead.

Yanmen was seriously damaged during the rebellion of Yang Liang, and after reconstruction, the county was changed to a county; The city wall of Yanmen is tall and strong, with a radius of 20 miles, and the resident population is 20,000 or 30,000.

When Yang Guang's car arrived at the gate of Yanmen, the tremor in the distance could be felt without lying on the ground to listen.

The county guard of Yanmen County had already received an urgent report from the messenger sent by Yang Guang, and now he had vacated the official office and contacted the rich family, just waiting for Yang Guangda to arrive.

Although they had a hunch that there were countless pursuers in the rear, the 100,000 forbidden troops who followed Yang Guang were also the masters they had seen, and although they were flustered in their hearts, they were still orderly when they entered the city.

The Yanmen Taishou had already greeted him at the north gate, and directly welcomed Yang Guang to the county office, and the county government was immediately upgraded to the Yanmen Palace.

Subsequently, the people who comforted Wang Shi carried the pot and led the pulp, and arranged Yang Guang's army one after another.

After Yang Guang stayed, he immediately came to Lu Yu, the guard of Yanmen County, "Lu Aiqing, I heard that you participated in the battle against Yang Liang?" ”

Lu Yu immediately talked eloquently, "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen was still the judicial department of Daizhou at that time, and Yang Liang sent Qiao Zhongkui to lead an army of 50,000 to attack the city, and we only had a few thousand. After holding out for more than a month, because Yang Yichen, the servant of the imperial servant, came to the rescue, he finally defeated the rebels. ”

Yang Guang nodded, these are all things about Chen Sesame and Rotten Grain, he only knows that Lu Yu in front of him is sitting in the current position of the county guard because of his military exploits back then.

The reason why he asked about the events of the year was probably because Yang Guang had the idea of sticking to Yanmen City at this time.

This thought flashed away, and Yang Guang continued to ask, "Can you report the basic situation of Yanmen County?" ”

"There are 10,000 defenders in the city, and 20,000 ordinary people," Lu Yu immediately reported honestly.

"Where's the grain and grass?" didn't hear Lu Yu say the following, Yang Guang immediately frowned, if you want to stick here, storing food is the most important thing.

Lu Yu didn't have a sure count of the grain and forage in the granary, but he still stubbornly said, "According to the system, the local defenders can only receive half a year's food and salary at a time, while Yanmen has 10,000 soldiers and 5,000 horses. Now that the number of men and horses has increased by 100,000, it can be predicted that the grain stock in Yanmen is only enough for His Majesty's army to eat for about twenty days, and the forage"

Since Su You came to this world, the mental arithmetic ability of the Great Sui people has directly improved by an unknown number of grades, and since Lu Yu finished the first sentence, Yang Guang has already understood the current dilemma.

The grain in Yanmen County is only enough for twenty days, and the forage is only enough for ten days, even if the Turks can't break through the city, can they survive hungry?

Seeing that Yang Guang's face became more and more solemn, Pei Yuanqing, who accompanied him, immediately suggested, "Your Majesty, you don't need too many horses to defend the city, and Weichen suggests slaughtering some of the war horses first, killing two birds with one stone." ”

Killing some of the horses can not only reduce the consumption of forage, but also increase the meat for the soldiers.

But how much is a horse worth? How much is a war horse worth?

Yang Guang shook his head and asked Pei Yuanqing rhetorically, "Where are the Turks now?" If possible, grain and grass can be mobilized from elsewhere, or"

Yang Guang did not say the second possibility, he remembered that when the "Linshuo Palace" and "Fenyang Palace" were built, the high-sounding reason was that "the Son of Heaven guards the country".

If he retreats to Zhuo County, Duji's army will drive straight in, how many lives will be lost?

Pei Yuanqing naturally understood Yang Guang's pride, and he didn't know how to persuade him for a while, he turned his head and glanced at Yuwen Chengdu beside him, who only shook his head imperceptibly.

When Yang Guang was hesitating, a loud horn sound came from outside, and the horn sound rose and fell, echoing in the sky, like thousands of horns blowing together.

Yang Guang suddenly changed color, Yuwenshu hurriedly entered, and hurriedly reported, "Your Majesty, the Turkic army is surrounded from all directions, there are three or four hundred thousand, and it has surrounded Yanmen City. ”

Seeing that Yang Guang's face was still a little hesitant, Yu Wenshu immediately asked for his life, "Your Majesty, don't worry, as the saying goes, 'ten rules are surrounded', we have an army of 100,000, and the Turks are not good at attacking cities." The old minister suggested that the wall should be cleared immediately and fight with the Turks! ”

Yuwenshu's statement, saying it is equivalent to not saying it, if you want to strengthen the wall, it is too late.

Yuwenshu immediately mobilized 30,000 troops to defend the city, and at the same time ordered all the houses along the city wall to be demolished, and the bricks, wood and stones obtained were used to defend the city.

Houses were pushed up, and the girders were sawn into several sections and used as rolling logs; The large stones on which the foundations were laid were also pried up by the soldiers and carried to the head of the city to be used as stones.

The owner of the demolished house just silently packed up his meager belongings.

Dozens or hundreds of people gathered at the gate of Yanmen Pass, looking anxiously at the bottom of the mountain.

The 400,000 Turkic army has all entered Yanmen County, and camp tents have risen from the ground, stretching for dozens of miles, surrounding Yanmen City.

Countless naked men, riding good horses, carrying curved bows, densely packed.

After they rushed into the city, they bent their bows and arrows, as if they wanted to fill the Yanmen City with arrows from the pot.

Suddenly it rained arrows in Yanmen City, and the people in the city fled in all directions, hiding in their houses.

As soon as Yang Guang came out of the temporary palace, he was greeted by a seven or eight-year-old child who was covered by several guards and cried, which was Yang Guang's third son, Yang Gao.

Yang Guang immediately bent down and hugged Yang Gao into his arms, but looked at the sky with a resolute face and said, "My son, before I succeeded to the throne, I conquered the south and the north to dominate the world, and when I was as old as you, I already commanded a million troops. As my son, how can you be frightened like a lost dog by a few bows and arrows? ”

As he spoke, Yang Guang felt a pain on his face, but it was an arrow that was dialed by Pei Yuanqing and grazed his face.

Injured Yang Guang because of his own mistakes, Pei Yuanqing suddenly twisted a little, "Your Majesty"

"Don't say anything, escort me to the city." Yang Guang shook his head, immediately handed Yang Gao into the hands of a guard, and said categorically to the guards beside him.

The city is already raining arrows, let alone the city? Lai Hu'er immediately opened his mouth to admonish, "The city is too dangerous, Your Majesty should focus on the dragon body!"

Yang Guang ignored Lai'er's persuasion, and reversed Bengali, "Fight my honor guard, this is an order." ”

Pei Yuanqing, Yuwen Chengdu and others could hear the decision in Yang Guang's words, and immediately ordered; The guards each had a large shield and quickly guarded Yang Guang behind the shield wall.

With Yang Guang personally sweeping the formation, the guards at the head of the city also rose up bravely, and fearlessly pulled their bows to the city to counterattack.

The defenders of Yanmen were originally condescending, but at this time, everyone was desperate, and they instantly overwhelmed the Turkic army outside the city in momentum.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Turks no longer attacked hard, but turned around and retreated out of the range of their bows and arrows.

In the blink of an eye, the city was already full of armor and noisy.

Yang Guang realized that there was no place for the arrows to fall on the city, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and ordered Yuwen Chengdu and the others to remove their shields.

As soon as the shield was removed, Yang Guang heard the sound of the horn outside the city again, and the Turkic soldiers instantly quieted down, and then split to both sides like waves, giving way to a road more than ten zhang wide.

The banner embroidered with the eagle crown on three or five poles fluttered in the wind, which was the honor guard of the Turkic Shibi Khan.

"I started with the ambition of the Khan wolf, and I didn't expect to come in person." Lai Hu'er's face changed slightly, Rao is he has experienced a hundred battles, and when he saw the enemy soldiers all over the mountains outside the city, he was also shocked.

Yang Guang snorted coldly, but Shibi Khan was marching forward, the horsewhip pointed at the head of the Yanmen Pass, and shouted loudly, "Yang Guang can be there? ”

Shibi Khan called Yang Guang by name, and all the generals were angry, but they could only look at Yang Guang.

When Yang Guang was about to scold Shibi Khan, Yuwen Shu had already come out of the crowd, and said angrily, "Duji Xiao'er, can you also call the name of my emperor?" Your Majesty has always been kind to your father and son, why did you send troops south this time? If you know each other, turn back to your Turks, if not, hum! ”

Yuwenshu called Shibi Khan's name directly, but also to show contempt, so he just-for-tat; Of course, he also knows that intimidation on the battlefield, or morality and etiquette, is basically nonsense, so he can't talk about it later.

Shibi Khan didn't pay attention to Yuwenshu's clown-like persuasion, but a general beside him laughed loudly, "Yuwenshu, you have accepted our heavy gifts, and said that you should join forces with the outside to dedicate the city, how will you run out and show off righteousness?" Find a safe place to stay, lest our bows and arrows have no eyes! ”

Listening to the shouts of the soldiers under the city, Yang Guang looked at Yuwen Shu coldly, and thought about it.

Yu Wenshu was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and at this time, he couldn't care about Yang Guang's doubts, and immediately reached out and snatched a big bow from the hand of the soldier beside him, and shot an arrow towards Shibi Khan.

Shibi Khan was originally standing outside the range of the bow and arrow, and although Yuwenshu had strong arms, when the arrow reached Shibi Khan's body, it was already fluttering.

Shibi Khan only used a horse whip to break Yuwenshu's arrow.

Shibi Khan's movements were dashing, which immediately attracted the earth-shattering applause of his own soldiers, and he also took the opportunity to grab a longbow and shoot an arrow at Yang Guangmian's door.

Shibi Khan was young and strong, but shooting Yang Guang from the city was too high and too far; In addition, Yang Guang was surrounded by fierce generals like Yuwen Chengdu and Pei Yuanqing, how could Yang Guang put this arrow of his eyes in his eyes?

Although Yang Guang was not afraid of Shibi Khan's arrow, he still showed due concern about the current situation, "I have always been tolerant and generous to the Turks since I ascended the throne, and now this little wolf is ambitious, and he has deceived me too much!" Could it be that there is no one in my majestic Celestial Empire who can beat it? ”

Yang Guang's words can be described as a curse, and everyone immediately looked at each other, and they didn't know how to express their loyalty for a while.

Pei Yuanqing had an angry temperament, and immediately asked Yang Guang for his life, "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead three thousand Xiaoguo troops to take the head of the world!" ”

Yang Guang looked at Pei Yuanqing and shook his head noncommittally, at this time, the place was arrogant, didn't he hit the stone with an egg when he opened the door to meet the enemy?

"I'll try it in the future." Yuwen Chengdu also stood up, he took off his painted bow as he spoke, and took the bow from the resentful Yuwen Shu's hand, and then the two bows came together.

"This is" Yang Guang below, everyone looked at Yuwen Chengdu with some puzzlement.

Yuwen Chengdu clenched the two bows, and after placing an arrow on each of these two bows, he shouted to the Shibi Khan under the city, "Duji suffers death!" ”

The words have just fallen, and the strings have left the strings.
