Chapter 259 The Battle of Yanmen Pass (1)
Seeing that Yang Guang began to hesitate, Yu Wenshu's brows furrowed, but he stopped talking and retreated into the queue, but while he retreated, the corner of his eye glanced at Fan Zigai very covertly!
However, Fan Zigai didn't see Yu Wenshu's afterglow, but held his head high and said to Yang Guang: "Your Majesty! The minister thought that Yanmen Pass was impregnable, and there were more than 20,000 soldiers of the Royal Forest Army under His Majesty! Although there are many Turks, they are not good at attacking cities, and Your Majesty should stick to Yanmen Pass to frustrate their spirit! The news that His Majesty was besieged at Yanmen Pass will soon spread to the Central Plains, and when the time comes, His Majesty will only have to wait for the army of the Quartet King Qin to come to the rescue! In addition to this time, His Majesty can also personally comfort the soldiers, promise not to return to the Eastern Crusade, increase the reward, the soldiers must fight bravely one by one, why not worry about not being able to defend the Yanmen Pass? ā
Hearing Fan Zigai's words, many smart ministers immediately understood, no wonder Fan Zigai would be willing to take the risk of offending Yu Wenshu to speak back, it turned out that he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make Yang Guang promise not to go east again! From this point of view alone, Fan Zigai is worthy of being a loyal minister of the Great Sui! Everyone knows very well in their hearts that he offended Yuwenshu this time, and he will definitely be retaliated against by Yuwenshu in the future, but in order to be loyal to the Great Sui and prevent Yang Guang from the next Eastern Crusade, Fan Zigai can be regarded as free!
At this time, Xiao Yu, the waiter of the internal history, also stood up, saluted Yang Guang, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan!" The minister heard that the Turkic customs, but He Dun can predict the military! Princess Yicheng married into the Turks as the daughter of the first emperor, and she must need the Great Sui as her support, although she is now a Turkic Kehedun, but without the support of our Great Sui, her status in the Turks will definitely plummet! Your Majesty might as well send an envoy to break through and go to the royal court to inform her of this truth, and Princess Yicheng will definitely find a way to help Your Majesty withdraw from the army! As for what Lord Fan said, the minister also thinks it is reasonable! Now the intentions of the Great Sui soldiers are all worried that after this battle, they will go to conquer Goguryeo! If His Majesty could issue a proclamation to forgive Goguryeo's sins and let the soldiers concentrate on the crusade against the Turks, then everyone would be at ease and everyone would fight bravely! ā
Xiao Yu is not an ordinary courtier, he is the younger brother of Empress Xiao, a veritable uncle of the country! Not only that, Xiao Yu's reputation among Shilin is particularly high, perhaps because of this, although Xiao Yu is quite talented, he was arranged by Yang Guang to take such a fictitious position as a waiter in the internal history!
Hearing Xiao Yu and Fan Zigai's words, Yang Guang's face also became very ugly, what Xiao Yu said was a good way to send someone to Princess Yicheng, Yang Guang would naturally send someone to do it. But if Yang Guang promises not to go to the east again, doesn't this mean that Yang Guang personally denied his behavior in the past three years? For Yang Guang, who has always regarded himself very highly, it is not just as simple as slapping his mouth! can see the eyes of the ministers under the seat, Yang Guang can immediately see that it is not only Xiao Yu and He Fan Zigai who have this thought, if he refuses to agree now, I am afraid that these courtiers may immediately rebel!
Yang Guang only felt a feeling of aggrieved slowly extending from his chest, until his whole body was hot, and he couldn't wait to drag these rebellious ministers and thieves down and kill them! But Yang Guang didn't do that! In order to compete for the throne, Yang Guang gritted his teeth and held back all his desires, and put on a thrifty appearance in front of his father and mother, and now, in order to save his life, Yang Guang can also endure it!
Yang Guang held the handrail with both hands, took a deep breath, and finally forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, then raised his head and shouted to the soldiers and ministers of the Imperial Forest Army who were guarding the pass in front: "I promise that I will no longer pardon Goguryeo's great disrespectful crimes!" As long as Goguryeo does not go south in the future, I will not go east in my lifetime! In this battle, the soldiers must work hard to fight the thief, and they can be preserved. There will be no such thing as a sword and a pen to break you! Those who have meritorious service in defending the city will be directly removed from the six grades without officials, and they will be given 100 paragraphs; There is an official buff! ā
Yang Guang's words echoed in the sky above Yanmen Pass, and all the soldiers on the Yanmen Pass listened to it very clearly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Suddenly, nearly 20,000 Imperial Forest soldiers immediately knelt down and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor!" Banzai! Hooray! ā
Among the ministers, Fan Zigai and Xiao Yu also showed relieved smiles on their faces after hearing that Yang Guang had finally promised not to go east. Fan Zigai nodded at Xiao Yu, he knew that if Xiao Yu hadn't followed him to make his position clear, he was afraid that the Son of Heaven would still not make concessions! But Xiao Yu shook his head at Fan Zigai, with admiration in his eyes, what he did was just icing on the cake, compared to Fan Zigai's sacrifice of life, he was too much worse!
And the eye contact between the two has already fallen into Yang Guang's eyes, Yang Guang's heart is becoming more and more resentful, in his opinion, these two courtiers have clearly colluded! Thinking that he was a dignified son of heaven and was forced to compromise by his courtiers, Yang Guang's heart became more and more angry! Although after the promise just now, the morale of the soldiers in Yanmen Pass really rose, but Yang Guang's heart was not happy, he stood up, and with the support of Zhang Huai'an, he directly left the city wall of Yanmen Pass!
When Yang Guang got down from the city, he glanced back at the courtiers who were still rejoicing in the city, his eyes flashed with a cruelty, and he gritted his teeth and hummed: "I will wait!" I'll wait! You rebels, don't even think about running! I'm going to tear you all to pieces!" ā
"Hooray!" After all, Zhang Huai'an, who was next to him, was a person who had served Yang Guang for so many years, so Yang Guang suddenly showed such a hideous expression, Zhang Huai'an was not frightened into losing his temper, but rolled his eyes, and said to Yang Guang respectfully: "Long live the anger, now get through this pass first!" Banzai! The slave remembers, isn't there still 30,000 Imperial Forest Army under Wan Hou Ye? Wan Hou Ye is stationed in Lao County now, why don't you send someone to summon Wan Hou Ye to escort him? ā
As soon as Zhang Huaian said this, Yang Guang's eyes lit up, and then he remembered Wanhe, who had just been sent out by himself some time ago! That's my real descendant! Although Yang Guang didn't believe that Wan He was a famous general who could fight well, there were still 30,000 Imperial Forest Army under Wan He! If these 30,000 Imperial Forest troops can come, although they can't repel the hundreds of thousands of Turks, they can at least help themselves consume the Turks' troops, and it would be very good to delay the Turkic offensive for themselves!
Thinking of this, Yang Guang nodded again and again, and said to Zhang Huai'an: "You're right, I almost forgot about this kid!" You quickly send someone to break through and go to Lao County to notify Wanhe to come to the rescue! Be quick! ā
And at the same time as Yang Guang finished saying the last two words, suddenly, there was a horn sound from outside the gate, Yang Guang immediately shuddered after hearing this horn, and his neck couldn't help but shrink! According to the situation in the past few days, Yang Guang also knew what this horn meant, it was the Turks outside the gate who were preparing to attack the city! Yang Guang didn't care about what to order, he walked directly to the pass, two days ago when the Turks attacked Yanmen Pass for the first time, Yang Guang still remembers it vividly, the short arrow almost flew over Yang Guang's head! Yang Guang didn't want to be in such a dangerous situation, it was safe to return to the palace as soon as possible!
At the head of the city, those civil and military officials were also in a mess, most of the ministers ran to the pass in a panic, and only a few people calmly commanded the royal forest army at the head of the city and began to deploy defenses!
Outside the gate, the countless Turkic soldiers and horses began to rush towards the Yanmen Pass frantically, of course, they would not be stupid enough to attack the city wall like this, but rushed to the gate, pulled up their short bows, and shot at the Imperial Forest Army on the gate! The Turks are a people on horseback, and every Turkic person, whether male or female, as long as they are sensible, the first thing they have to learn is to ride a horse, and the second thing is to shoot arrows! Although the city wall of Yanmen Pass is much higher than the wall of ordinary cities, it is difficult for these Turks! The short arrows they shot also easily crossed the barrier of the city wall and flew towards the soldiers on the city wall!
Fortunately, the Imperial Forest Army on the pass had already lined up and was ready to fight, and in the face of those short arrows that came over, all the soldiers raised their round shields in front of them to resist, although there were still a few who were more unlucky, and were shot by short arrows from the gaps, but the vast majority of short arrows were still blocked out of the round shield.
"Archers prepare! Ejection! "In the rear, the ministers who were able to keep their calm and command began to assign their respective responsibilities, and Lai Hu'er was the highest-ranking person among the generals present, and he became the commander-in-chief. Laihu'er had already drawn the sword at his waist, pointed at the enemy outside the pass, and shouted at the archers who had already been prepared.
And the person in charge of commanding the archers was Laihong, the second son of Laihu'er, Laihong, after hearing his father's order, Laihong also immediately raised the spear in his hand and shouted angrily: "All obey my command!" Can't mess around! Get ready! Put! ā
As Lai Hong's last word shouted, thousands of feather arrows flew out from the gate and shot directly into the sky outside the pass! After flying to the top, the arrow finally couldn't bear its weight and fell like raindrops! It's just that ordinary raindrops are just wetting people's hair at most, and these "raindrops" are bringing a bloody rain outside the gate! With a scream, thousands of Turks died under this round of arrows! Even among the Turks outside the pass, a blank space was scratched! Seeing this achievement, there was also a burst of cheers on the pass, the arrow attack worked, and it also raised the morale of the Royal Forest Army again, and for a while, all the soldiers were like a rainbow!
